1:08:00
But if you don't get married, then you
will have to wait until next year.
1:08:04
That settles it. I'm tired
of having my marriage put off.
1:08:07
- I'm going to tell Mr. Yardley the truth.
- No, John, please.
1:08:10
I think it's best we skedaddle.
1:08:13
When the bag lets out the cat,
somebody gets scratched.
1:08:18
There's something I wanted
to talk to you about.
1:08:21
There's something I want
to talk to you about too.
1:08:23
- Something important.
- What I have to say...
1:08:25
I'm not easily fooled.
I know the real from the fraudulent.
1:08:28
Exactly. I knew you'd realize.
That's why I decided...
1:08:30
- Those models are yours, of course.
- Yes.
1:08:32
They're splendid.
That's why I want to talk to you.
1:08:35
- Those?
- Yes.
1:08:36
I told you about my competitor in the
magazine field, American Housekeeping.
1:08:40
I'm going to keep ahead of them.
I'm starting a new department.
1:08:43
- But...
- A Build Your Own Home section...
1:08:45
...for postwar planning. I need an editor.
An honest and dependable man.
1:08:49
I know you're the real thing.
I know you're busy, but this will pay well.
1:08:52
- It all sounds very wonderful, Mr. Yardley.
- You bet it's wonderful.
1:08:55
It's the biggest promotion plan
in the country.
1:08:58
And the tie-up with
the Elizabeth Lane feature will put it over.
1:09:01
I can see our February cover right now.
1:09:03
"Beginning this issue, John Sloan,
Elizabeth Lane's husband...
1:09:05
...conducts our new Home Planning
Department."
1:09:08
- And you'll put that on the cover?
- Right.
1:09:10
Now, what is it you wanted to tell me?
1:09:12
As a matter of fact, it was
almost exactly the same thing.
1:09:14
Well, there you are,
great minds think alike.
1:09:17
Mr. Yardley, Mr. Jones is
way ahead of you on flapjacks.
1:09:19
He is, is he? Well, I'll give him
a head start of a dozen...
1:09:22
...and still eat him under the table.
1:09:24
- Did you tell him?
- Well, no. I decided not to.
1:09:26
There's no point in destroying
his Christmas.
1:09:29
Come on, let's have breakfast.
1:09:34
Would you mind doing something for me,
as a special favor?
1:09:37
Anything you want.
1:09:39
Would you mind just flipping me
one flapjack?
1:09:41
Flip...
1:09:44
- Well, you see, Mr. Yardley...
- Oh, just one to please me, huh?
1:09:49
- But, Mr. Yardley...
- Won't you please, Mrs. Sloan?
1:09:54
Well, all right, but I'm
a little out of practice.
