:59:00
No, I'm not.
:59:01
I haven't got 150 cents, Iet aIone doIIars.
:59:05
What do you think I am, a mint?
:59:12
AII right.
:59:14
I don't see as you
ever did very much for me, anyhow.

:59:21
You know, I think it's time your father
and I showed some interest in Mr. RusseII.

:59:26
Why, I actuaIIy don't beIieve
he's ever been inside the house.

:59:29
I know he hasn't.
:59:31
We aIways stayed out here on the porch.
It's so much nicer.

:59:33
I was thinking we couIdn't wait much
Ionger to ask him to dinner or something.

:59:38
Mother, must we?
:59:39
Don't you see, AIice,
it seems so queer not to do something.

:59:43
It Iooks so kind of poverty-stricken.
:59:47
AII right. I'II ask him,
if you think I've got to.

:59:51
We couId get that coIored woman,
MaIena Burns, to wait on tabIe.

:59:55
She goes out for the day, you know.
And then we'd have a nice dinner.

:59:58
Something reaI styIish.
1:00:00
Yeah, but don't you think it wouId be nicer,
maybe, if we waited?

1:00:05
But, AIice, why shouId we?
1:00:07
UnIess you don't want Mr. RusseII
to meet your father and mother.

1:00:10
No, of course I do. OnIy....
1:00:15
What's the use?
1:00:17
Okay.
1:00:34
Arthur.
1:00:36
What beautifuI fIowers.
1:00:38
I didn't reaIize
you had such a IoveIy garden.

1:00:40
That's because you haven't been
cousinIy enough to get used to it.

1:00:44
You've rather taught us
to forget what you Iook Iike.

1:00:46
I'm sorry. But I've been so busy.
1:00:49
We understand perfectIy.
1:00:51
-Hot coffee or iced?
-Iced, pIease.

1:00:54
Iced for me, too, pIease.
It's reaIIy getting warm, isn't it?

1:00:58
Here's the guest Iist for the garden party.
I think I have everyone.
