:08:03
Ah, hang up, Mother. Tell 'em Father's
home drunk and needs looking after.

:08:06
- It's Katey, long distance.
- Well, what's— Nothing wrong, is there?

:08:09
Oh, you bet there is.
She doesn't want to go to Emerald Bay.

:08:12
It is not stupid, Katey, and I must say
that it's not very bright of you...

:08:16
to keep describing every place in the worid
that's not Paris as stupid.

:08:19
Now— Now, will you listen to me
for one second?

:08:23
Paris? Wh-What about Paris?
:08:25
Oh, she and three other giris out of her class
have cooked up some crazy notion...

:08:29
of gallivanting all over Europe
this summer.

:08:31
But how in the worid
are you going to pay for it, Katey?

:08:34
Yeah, I'd sort of be interested
in the answer to that one myself.

:08:37
Oh, no, darling.
:08:39
You can lend it to her, and she'll pay it back
weekly out of her allowance, with interest.

:08:43
By golly, you really got to hand it
to the kid for trying, don't you?

:08:47
- How much interest?
- Mother!

:08:49
Mother. Mother!
Positively weird, both of them.

:08:54
You should see my mother.
Absolutely weird!

:08:56
I have never seen anybody
as weird as my mother.

:09:00
They're all... so insecure.
:09:02
- That's right.
- Mother? Now, really, I can't—

:09:05
I'm sorry, darling, but it's out of the question,
and that's all there is to it.

:09:09
I have to hang up now because
we have a call coming in from Susie.

:09:12
- Hugs and kisses, darling. Bye now.
- Mom!

:09:15
Mother?
:09:18
- She hung up.
- How weird.

:09:20
Oh, they're weird, I'll tell you.
:09:23
Positively weird.
:09:25
Well, what's this
Emerald Bay business?

:09:28
Well, the Nickersons are letting us
have their beach house there for August.

:09:31
- It's right on the water,
just south of San Francisco.
- You mean for the children?

:09:34
For all of us.
It's big enough for the whole family.

:09:37
- Wait a minute, honey. Just wait—wait—
- Oh, I know, I know.

:09:40
This is the chance of a lifetime for
an old-fashioned family get-together...

:09:44
and we mustn't be selfish about it.
:09:46
But, honey,
that wasn't the idea at all.

:09:48
Do you realize that this may be the last time
we'll ever be all together again?

:09:52
That's what you say every time,
and I admit it's a very attractive prospect.

:09:55
Oh, Rog, the way you talk, people would
think that you don't love your children.

:09:59
Oh, I love 'em dearly,
just from different distances.
