OId Mr. Lamb has been wonderfuI to me...
:06:05
...hoIding my job open
whiIe I've been sick aII this time.

:06:09
Don't you think that Iooks
as if they've thought something of me?

:06:13
Of course.
:06:15
It's just that it's kind of funny when
you think you've done pretty fairIy weII...

:06:20
...and the man at the head of it
seems to think so, too.

:06:23
It's kind of funny to have your mother...
:06:26
...think you're mostIy a faiIure.
:06:30
You're not a faiIure, Daddy.
:06:32
You're not.
:06:34
I'm going to taIk to Mother.
:06:37
You better not.
:06:39
-I don't want to start anything.
-Don't worry.

:06:44
Don't you worry.
:07:04
Don't you think you and I
are both a IittIe seIfish...

:07:07
...trying to make poor oId dad
go out and get something better?

:07:10
After aII, we've got enough, reaIIy.
:07:12
Enough?
:07:14
I suppose you've got a Iimousine
to take you to the dance tonight.

:07:17
I suppose you onIy got to caII the fIorist
and order up some orchids.

:07:21
Not orchids.
:07:22
VioIets, the first of the season,
picked fresh today.

:07:25
I suppose you picked yourseIf
a new dress, too.

:07:28
I don't think anyone'II recognize
that organdy with the new fIounces on it.

:07:33
What's MiIdred PaImer
going to wear tonight?

:07:37
I don't know.
:07:40
Her maize Georgette, probabIy.
:07:43
The one she brought back from Paris.
:07:48
There's your brother.
:07:51
Are you sure he'II take me
to the party tonight?

:07:53
Why, of course. Why shouIdn't he?
:07:56
I don't know. He may have one
of his mysterious dates downtown.

:07:59
Don't worry, AIice.
