:23:14
The dears. Isn't Halloween
a wonderful time for them?
:23:17
Yes, it is. They have so much fun.
:23:21
Now, Mortimer, don't be so impatient.
:23:23
-We'll let you lick the bowl.
-Lick the bowl?
:23:26
I don't want to.
I want to know what we're going to do!
:23:28
We're going to celebrate.
:23:30
Celebrate? There's a body
in the windowseat!
:23:33
Yes, dear. Mr. Hoskins.
:23:35
I know what his name is. I want to know
what we're going to do.
:23:38
-We can't turn you over to the police.
-Stop worrying about it.
:23:41
We told you to forget the whole thing.
:23:43
Forget? Can't I make you realize
that something has to be done?
:23:48
Now, Mortimer, you behave.
:23:50
You're too old
to be flying off the handle like this.
:23:53
-But Mr. Hodgekiss--
-Hoskins, dear.
:23:56
Whatever his name is,
you can't leave him in there.
:23:58
We don't intend to, dear.
:24:00
Teddy's down in the cellar now,
digging the lock.
:24:09
You're going to bury
Mr. Hodgekiss in the cellar?
:24:11
Yes, dear.
That's what we did with the others.
:24:15
Look, here, Aunt Martha. You can't....
:24:18
-Others?
-The other gentlemen.
:24:22
When you say "others,"
do you mean "others"?
:24:25
-More than one "others"?
-Yes, dear.
:24:27
Let me see now. This is 1 1, isn't it, Abby?
:24:31
No, dear. This makes 12.
:24:33
Abby, dear, I think you're wrong.
This one is only 1 1 .
:24:37
No, dear, because I remember
when Mr. Hoskins first came in...
:24:40
...it occurred to me
that he'd make just an even dozen.
:24:45
But, Abby, dear, I really don't think
you should count the first one.
:24:49
I was counting the first one,
and that makes it 12.
:24:53
It does?
:24:55
Well, she's probably right. Abby usually is.
:24:58
I get them mixed up sometimes.
