:24:23
- lt's funny.
- What?
:24:25
- Marigolds. This time of the year.
- They're all over.
:24:30
- Well, they usually bloom later.
- They're lovely. l love the colors.
:24:38
Mr. Merrill?
:24:40
What did you mean before?
All that about my coming to babysit.
:24:45
Coming over to babysit?
l was just joking. l was teasing you.
:24:50
Gee, l wondered.
:24:52
You used to be such a shy little kid.
:24:55
You always brought schoolbooks.
You always dropped pencils and things.
:25:00
And you never had a word to say.
:25:03
- l thought plenty, though.
- About what?
:25:06
- Oh, daydreamed.
- What about?
:25:10
- Lots of things.
- What sort of things?
:25:13
- lt's so silly, it was such kid stuff.
- Come on, tell me.
:25:19
l bet you never knew
l had a big crush on you.
:25:23
You did?
:25:25
- l was mad about you, out of my head!
- You were?
:25:30
lf Mrs. Merrill called me to babysit,
even at the last minute...
:25:35
...l'd cancel out whoever l promised
and come to your house instead.
:25:39
You must have lost
a lot of customers.
:25:41
l'd spend an hour getting myself fixed
up. My mother thought l was nuts.
:25:47
l mean, l was just a kid to you,
but you were a god to me.
:25:52
- Now you're putting me on.
- Know what l'd do as the girls slept?
:25:57
l'd go up to your room and open
your closet and touch your suits.
