:15:01
Yes, the morale, I know.
:15:03
I had a silk hat once in Budapest.
:15:05
A silk hat. It made me feel so fine.
:15:07
And then I insulted the maitre d'hôtel
and got fired with a silk hat.

:15:12
Come on, eat.
:15:13
Mink outside, sardines inside,
that's no good too.

:15:16
Oh, this is marvelous.
:15:17
You know, Felix, some time
I'm gonna take time out...

:15:20
...and learn to cook like you do.
- No, no, no, no.

:15:22
- No?
- No, no, darling.

:15:23
Then you would find out
it is not the way you write now.

:15:27
All easy and fun and...
:15:28
- Don't cook.
- All right.

:15:31
I have to go, darling. Goodbye.
:15:33
Thanks a million.
:15:36
- Oh, hello, Felix.
- Hello. Goodbye. Merry Christmas.

:15:39
Don't mention it.
:15:40
- Hello, Dud.
- Hello, Liz. We're in a jam.

:15:42
Something terrible is about to happen.
:15:44
- What?
- Yardley wants to see you right away...

:15:46
...at his home on Long Island.
:15:47
Maybe he wants to give me a raise
for Christmas. I've helped circulation.

:15:51
- No. It's not a raise.
- You look frazzled. You want a drink?

:15:54
No. No, thanks. Now, it's really nothing
to be nervous about. Not a thing.

:15:58
Don't be silly.
I'm not nervous. I feel fine.

:16:00
Well, you won't in a minute.
:16:03
Now get this. Some fool nurse
at a Naval hospital...

:16:05
...wrote to Yardley asking him to invite a
wounded sailor to your farm for Christmas.

:16:09
My farm?
:16:10
Oh, oh, yes, my farm.
:16:12
Oh, my farm.
:16:14
And he wants to see you
to arrange it.

:16:16
Are you crazy?
Where am I going to get a farm?

:16:18
- I haven't even got a window box.
- We'll have to stall him off.

:16:21
You know what a stickler he is
for the truth.

:16:23
If he ever finds out we've been making
all this up, he'll fire the both of us.

:16:32
Well, it's been nice knowing you.
:16:37
It's really not as bad as it sounds, Liz.
:16:39
All you have to do is to go out there and tell
him that your child has whooping cough.

:16:44
Say that you couldn't possibly
entertain anyone for Christmas.

:16:46
- Your husband wouldn't like it.
- Oh, yes. Yes, my husband.

:16:50
Of course, simplest thing in the world.
:16:52
You go out and tell him.
You're a much better liar than I am.

:16:55
Oh, no, Liz. He wants to see you.
:16:58
And when Yardley wants something,
he gets it or else.
