:08:03
Mother isn't home yet.
:08:05
A telegram? Well...
:08:09
I don't see a pencil, so maybe
she better call you back.
:08:12
I'm trying to keep my mind free of things
that don't matter...
:08:15
because I have so much
to keep on my mind.
:08:18
Innumerable things.
:08:20
I'll have her call back.
Thank you for calling.
:08:24
Goodbye.
:08:28
(Door Opening, Closing)
:08:30
Hello, Ann. Where's your mother?
:08:33
- She ' s out.
- Out?
:08:35
Mrs Henderson Just called
from the Postal Union Office.
:08:38
She says we have a telegram.
:08:40
I would have taken it down,
only I couldn't find a pencil. I looked.
:08:43
Telegram, eh?
:08:45
I knew there'd be trouble if
your Aunt Sarah got her driver's licence.
:08:50
- Whereabouts was the accident?
- l didn't take notes.
:08:53
Oh. Then how about a kiss?
:09:00
Isn't that the funniest thing?
Here I am, practically a child
:09:03
and I wouldn't read the things you read.
:09:05
Mm-hm. Well, I guess
they'd give you bad dreams.
:09:08
Bad dreams? You don't understand, Papa.
Mystery stories have done -
:09:12
- Where's Roger?
- Out. The average mind -
:09:14
- Where's Charlie?
- Out. No, she's in her room thinking.
:09:18
Well, don't read too much.
You'll ruin your eyes.
:09:21
And leave my book alone.
What's that you're reading?
:09:24
- lvanhoe.
- Hm? Oh.
:09:31
(Soft Knocking)
:09:32
- Who is it?
- It's me.
:09:39
What's the matter?
Don't you feel well?
:09:42
No. I'm perfectly well.
:09:44
I've Just been thinking for hours,
and I've come to the conclusion I give up.
:09:49
- l simply give up.
- What are you going to give up?
:09:51
Have you ever to thought that a family
should be the most wonderful thing ever?
:09:55
And that this family's
Just gone to pieces?
:09:57
- We have?
- Of course we have.
