:58:23
Couldn't you have phoned
and said I was sick or something?
:58:27
Now stop being childish.
:58:29
The fact that Val wants to be
with her mother and father
:58:32
has nothing to do with your friendship.
:58:34
- She could have at least phoned.
- Behave yourself.
:58:46
Merry Christmas, everybody!
:58:49
- Hello, I'm Marian's mother.
- Hello, Marian. How are you?
:58:52
- Miss Gilbert, isn't it?
- This is Mr Boyd.
:58:55
This is Mrs Gilbert
and this must be Boothy.
:58:58
I knew it. Won't you all come on in
and have a drink?
:59:01
- It's so sweet of you to...
- Darling!
:59:06
Perfectly lovely that you could come!
:59:09
We have some absolutely
fascinating people for you to meet.
:59:17
Very strict around here.
:59:19
- Mrs Gilbert, I missed you.
- We've missed you too, you little scamp.
:59:24
- Hi, Boothy.
- Those big feet pounding up the stairs.
:59:28
Won't you come and meet our guests?
:59:32
Will either of you ladies be traditional
with me and have an eggnog?
:59:36
Or is it going to be martinis for you?
:59:38
- I'll be trad, Dad. Where's the bowl?
- I'll get one for each of you.
:59:47
- Aren't you wearing stockings?
- Ever since I got here.
:59:50
- I've got something to tell you.
- How do you keep 'em up?
:59:53
Mrs Gilbert is the mother
of one of Valerie's school friends.
:59:57
Just a smidgen higher
with that hideous little angel.
