may God bless and keep
each and every one of them...

:06:03
individually.
:06:07
Paragraph.
:06:09
Even now, there is no man alive...
:06:12
who believes more devoutly than I do...
:06:14
that the family is the rock...
:06:17
upon which civilization is built.
:06:19
But speaking to you now
from beyond the grave...

:06:23
let me say to you, frankly...
:06:25
that I had rather stay on
as a gopher...

:06:28
than be trapped with my family...
:06:30
for a whole month in the same house.
:06:34
Paragraph.
:06:36
I also agree heartily
with all modern authorities...

:06:40
that there is no more
sacred obligation in life...

:06:43
than a lasting communication
between parents and children.

:06:48
But from now on, I'm going to see
if I can't manage mine by long distance...

:06:51
and the longer, the better.
:06:53
- Paragraph?
- No paragraph.

:06:54
It's not that I don't love them,
you understand.

:06:57
It's just that the day finally arrives when
a man simply hasn't got the strength...

:07:02
to handle all the jams
his children get themselves into.

:07:08
Sailing date: June 2.
:07:11
Remember lastJune, Peggy?
:07:13
I called you from the office
that it was all set for a month's vacation?

:07:18
Well, what I had in mind, darn it...
:07:20
was a month off
just for you and me.

:07:23
Just a couple of old smoothies
on the loose again...

:07:25
communicating with nobody but each other
and an occasional deck steward.

:07:42
- I can't see.
- Good evening.

:07:44
Oh, hello. Would you mind
moving over a little bit, please?

:07:47
How would you like to spend next month
on a real Western dude ranch?

:07:51
- No, thanks.
- That's what you think, buster.

:07:57
Ee-yah!
:07:59
Will you listen—Will you listen
for just one minute, darling?
