1:02:00
Well, never mind
about when he grows up.

1:02:02
What I want to know is, what are we
going to do about him now?

1:02:05
You know, l—
I'd be a much more religious man...

1:02:09
if something just happened
to that darned TV.

1:02:12
Now, it isn't as if I was praying...
1:02:14
for lightning
to strike the whole industry.

1:02:17
It's just this one particular set.
1:02:20
And-And when I think that our son...
1:02:22
is going blind or nutty
or maybe both...

1:02:25
it's—
1:02:28
- It's dead.
- What's dead?

1:02:30
The TV.
1:02:32
I called the man.
He says it's probably a tube.

1:02:35
But he'll have to send
to San Francisco for a new one.

1:02:37
Well, do you know what I think
you both ought to do?

1:02:40
If there's a church open,
I can be ready in five minutes.

1:02:43
No, no, no. The Spatterbox.
1:02:45
Well, now, honey, I'm not gonna
do anything about the Spatterbox...

1:02:48
until I know what it is.
1:02:50
It's a boat, darling. A sailboat.
1:02:52
Only yesterday, Reggie told me that he
can get one for us whenever we want it.

1:02:55
- "Reggie"?
- Or "Reg," as I call him.

1:02:59
- Where'd you see him?
- I had lunch with him.

1:03:02
Can you sail a boat?
1:03:04
Didn't you know that your dad
once sailed in the Bermuda Cup race?

1:03:08
- Did you really?
- When?

1:03:10
- Yesterday.
- Then we can see the eclipse.

1:03:12
- How about it, Dad?
- Where?

1:03:14
Oh, in a discreet
little shrimp-burger joint.

1:03:16
- Can we, Dad? Please?
- No, no, just a minute. Just a minute, son.

1:03:20
If I may be so bold—
1:03:22
Well, we were reading
The Brothers Karamazov together.

1:03:27
C- Can We—
Can we what? Can we—

1:03:29
- Go out on the boat and see the eclipse?
- What eclipse?

1:03:31
Didn't you read about it in the papers?
You can't see it from the land.

1:03:34
You gotta be in a boat off the point.
Can we, Dad? Please?

1:03:38
Your dad may not be familiar
with this kind of boat.

1:03:40
But if he sailed in a big race—
1:03:43
Don't you think we could, Dad?
Just you and me.

1:03:45
Uh, I, uh—
1:03:47
It has been a long time.
1:03:50
Okay, partner. We'll give it a try.
1:03:52
- Whoopee!
- Okay.

1:03:54
Oh, good.
I'll give Reg a ring tonight...

1:03:57
and I'll make all of the arrangements.
