- Morning, Chuck.
- Hello, Wade. What's the news?
1:07:14
Haven't you read your paper?
1:07:16
- You got those tax notices ready?
- Running them off.
1:07:19
- Come in, come in.
- All right.
1:07:21
- Have a chair.
- You look as though you're pretty...
1:07:30
- Fred.
- Yes, ma'am.
1:07:33
- Would you set this in my copy, please?
- I will, ma'am.
1:07:37
- Oh, Joe.
- Good morning.
1:07:40
Did you want something?
1:07:42
I'd like have my curiosity satisfied.
What are you doing here?
1:07:46
- Well, obviously, I'm working.
- Obviously.
1:07:49
- But at what? And why?
- The town happens to be growing...
1:07:52
...and the paper needed someone who'd
write things that interest women.
1:07:56
Oh, I see.
1:07:58
Tell me, what are the vital interests
of your women readers?
1:08:02
What other women are wearing...
1:08:04
...how to make a Lady Baltimore cake
with two eggs...
1:08:08
...and whose baby is going to be born
and when.
1:08:10
- Fascinating.
- Anything else you'd like to know?
1:08:14
What do the doctor
and Mrs. Irving think?
1:08:16
They made the same stupid objections
you're making mentally now.
1:08:21
But when I decide on a thing,
I usually carry it through.
1:08:24
Yes, I noticed that. Of course,
people in general are inclined to think...
1:08:28
...a newspaper office is an odd place
for a charming lady to be working.
1:08:32
- Are you the delegation sent to tell me?
- No, no. I just stop trouble around here.
1:08:37
- I don't start it.
- What's wrong with here?
1:08:40
It's undignified. It's unladylike.
1:08:42
You ought to be home,
doing needlework.
1:08:45
Sewing buttons on for some man,
I suppose.
1:08:48
They come off.
Someone's gotta sew them on.
1:08:50
A fine career for
an intelligent woman.
1:08:53
- Here are your tax notices.
- Thanks.
1:08:55
There'll be wailing and
gnashing of teeth when they go out.
1:08:58
Abbie, I know this isn't in your line,
but as long as you insisted on the job...
