:42:00
- We were engaged for tive years.
- He's not as stupid as l was.
:42:04
- Are you stupid, Pop?
- Find out for yourselt!
:42:06
That's the trouble
with kids today! Lazy!
:42:08
Will you go up? Get up to bed!
:42:12
Oh, Harry, they'll be gone
day atter tomorrow.
:42:16
l'm a peace-loving man,
a good father and husband.
:42:20
And the result?
:42:22
The home l hewed out of this wilderness
with my bare hands is no longer mine.
:42:27
Tonight l had to wait
until 6:00 tor my supper.
:42:30
And that Peterson grafter, running up
my phone bill with long-distance calls!
:42:34
- He oftered to reimburse you.
- l don't take Diners Club cards!
:42:38
Then that snake in a gold suit insists
on parking in my beautiful living room.
:42:46
- Do you know where l've just been?
- No, dear.
:42:48
To a meeting with the big boys,
Kelsey, Judge Blanch, Joe Kipp.
:42:51
My biggest customers. They don't approve
ot this kind ot notorious goings-on.
:42:55
Darling, they put pressure on you?
:42:57
lf l don't cancel this whole Birdie
deal, they'll starve me out of business.
:43:02
- Oh, my heavens!
- lt's them or us.
:43:14
- What happened?
- Are you all right?
:43:16
- What's wrong?
- lt was just Randolph's chemicals.
:43:19
No, a mixture ot iron sultide
plus two parts H2SO4.
:43:23
Smart boy you have there. It isn't
every lad who can make a stench bomb.
:43:25
- Which brings me to Mr. Birdie.
- Mr. Peterson is really a biochemist.
:43:29
- l couldn't care less.
- l have one tormula, a secret.
:43:32
lt's miraculous because it increases
the work output of domestic animals.
:43:35
- Now about this Birdie.
- lt speeds up the reflexes.
:43:38
An ox, for instance,
could outrun a racehorse.
:43:40
By adding in his tormula,
a hen will lay three eggs a day.
:43:43
Three eggs a day? lt that's so,
you could make a million times--
:43:46
l've been nursing
this compound for years.
:43:48
- Still needs more tests, but it works.
- Aren't you in farming?
:43:52
- He's McAtee Fertilizer.
- Oh, yes.
:43:54
- Been in it tor 20 years.
- Really?
:43:56
But l may be out if--
:43:57
lt you and Albert got together,
you could revolutionize farm production.
