:05:01
Besides, I'm due at my sister's
house 7:00 on a family matter.
:05:05
- Something wrong?
- Trouble with her husband...
:05:08
...him being a man.
:05:09
It's all right with me.
You explain it to Mr. Smith.
:05:12
Oh, he won't mind, seeing
as how tonight's corned-beef night.
:05:18
- Is it all right, Katie?
- Yes, but I had to tell your mother lies.
:05:22
- They're white lies.
- A lie is a lie.
:05:24
Dressing it in white don't help it.
Now, if it's not asking too...
:05:29
Just why was I lying this time?
Why must we have dinner an hour early?
:05:33
- Rose is expecting...
- Don't blame your sister.
:05:36
Blaming her? We're doing this for her.
You know Rose's problem.
:05:40
Warren's been writing
to her for six months...
:05:42
...without one word
that smells like a proposal.
:05:45
What's that got to do
with having dinner an hour early?
:05:48
Warren Sheffield is telephoning
Rose long-distance at half past 6.
:05:52
- Long-distance?
- From New York City.
:05:54
If the family's sitting here,
she'll be loath to say...
:05:57
...what she's compelled to,
to get a proposal out of a man.
:06:00
If he, unfortunately,
is Warren Sheffield.
:06:02
Personally, I wouldn't marry a man
who proposed to me over an invention.
:06:06
Well, we can't be too particular.
Although we love Rose...
:06:09
...the brutal fact is that...
:06:11
...well, she isn't getting any younger.
- Hello, Rose.
:06:14
There's the poor old maid now.
:06:38
Esther. Esther! He's out there.
:06:41
- John Truett?
- On the porch.
:06:44
Now, be perfectly calm. We have the
perfect right to sit on our own front porch.
:06:52
- Isn't it a lovely day, Esther, dear?
- Heavenly, Rose. Simply heavenly.
