:23:00
Well!
:23:01
Just let me make myself quite clear.
You better keep him locked up at night.
:23:05
The next time I find him at our place,
I'll give him a pantsful of buckshot.
:23:10
Nine times, if necessary.
:23:13
[Meowing]
:23:17
I know.
I don't care for him much, either.
:23:20
But he does have a point,
don't you think?
:23:24
Was that Gregory
I heard down there?
:23:26
- Correct.
- He sounded angry.
:23:29
Yeah, I believe he was.
:23:31
- What goes on around here, anyway?
- Nothing, nothing at all.
:23:34
DC just happened to take a duck
off Gregory's back porch.
:23:39
- "Happened" to take a duck?
- Yes.
:23:42
Gregory came stamping and banging
over here to find it.
:23:45
Furious. Made a perfect fool of himself.
I don't think he's a stable person.
:23:49
- There goes my duck dinner.
- Your what?
:23:51
He invited me to his house for dinner.
His mother was gonna fix the duck.
:23:57
Fix the...
:23:58
Ingrid, don't you see?
You're walking into a trap.
:24:02
For goodness sakes, Gregory drives me
to work in the morning.
:24:05
At night he picks me up
and he takes me home.
:24:08
If he wants to go
to all that trouble,
:24:10
the least I can do
is be courteous if he asks me to dinner.
:24:13
How can you be so blind?
:24:15
It began with
the old car pool routine, right?
:24:17
Why shouldn't it? His law office
happens to be next door to where I work.
:24:21
But the point is, there used to be
five people in that car,
:24:24
then Gregory traded in his sedan
for a two-seater sports car.
:24:28
And Mr. Burke,
Miss Patters and Miss Mosely
:24:31
were ruthlessly squeezed out
to find other transportation, correct?
:24:36
- Now, listen...
- Creeping matrimony, that's what it is.
:24:40
The car pool, the duck dinner,
a movie here and there.
:24:43
Inky, you're taking the gas
and you don't even know it.
:24:47
Thank you, dear,
I'm sure you mean well,
:24:49
but I think I can handle
the Gregory situation
:24:51
in my own bumbling way.
:24:55
I'm sorry, but I suppose at your age,
:24:58
when that important person
hasn't come into your life,
