:25:01
Makes it 12.
:25:09
Hello.
:25:13
Whatever is the matter
with Mortimer today?
:25:16
Why, Abby,
what do you think happened to him?
:25:19
Hello?
:25:26
Not now. For heaven's sake,
keep your shirt on!
:25:31
Elaine, I didn't mean--
:25:36
Now, let's see. Where were we?
:25:38
Twelve. Twelve!
:25:40
Yes, dear.
:25:41
Abby thinks we should count the first one.
:25:44
Never mind about that. Just sit down.
:25:46
Tell me, who was the first one?
:25:48
Mr. Midgely. He was a Baptist.
:25:51
He was such a lonely, old gentleman.
:25:54
All his kith and kin were dead.
:25:56
We felt so sorry for him.
:25:58
And then, when his heart attack came...
:26:01
...and he sat there dead in that chair...
:26:05
...looking so peaceful. Remember, Martha?
:26:09
We made up our minds, then and there...
:26:12
...that if we could help
other lonely, old men...
:26:15
...to find that same peace...
:26:17
...we would.
:26:19
Why, you poor....
:26:21
You mean, he dropped dead
right in this chair?
:26:26
And then, you see,
Teddy came up from digging in Panama...
:26:30
...and he thought Mr. Midgely
was a yellow-fever victim.
:26:33
And that meant
he had to be buried immediately.
:26:36
So, we all took him down to Panama...
:26:40
...and put him in the lock
and gave him a decent Christian burial.
:26:44
There, now you see? That's why
we told you not to bother about it...
:26:48
...because we know exactly
what's to be done.
:26:54
Wait a minute!
:26:55
Come here, darling.
What about the others?
:26:58
All 12 of them didn't walk in here
and drop dead.
