:11:04
Indisposed.
:11:10
Is she sick again?
:11:14
Up in the saddle.
:11:20
The monthly.
:11:22
Oh, the monthly.
:11:25
Yeah.
:11:27
The mousy's bedtime.
:11:37
The mousy's what?
:11:40
That's what we call it.
:11:42
My mother, when I was a kid.
:11:45
Now, this takes me back.
:11:47
She used to have me run down
to buy mouse beds, she called them.
:11:51
So, I wouldn't be on to what they were
and get embarrassed...
:11:55
which later I definitely did refuse to do it.
:11:59
But then she'd say:
:12:00
"Run down and get me
a box of little mouse beds, honey bug."
:12:05
"Mouse beds"?
:12:07
Yeah, in the funny strips, you know.
You've seen it.
:12:10
The little mouse in his red coveralls,
and his little hole in the wall...
:12:14
with a lot of little mousy furniture.
:12:16
And even a little bitty radio set...
:12:19
the size of your fingernail, you see.
:12:22
And a mousy little bed that he sleeps in.
You've seen it.
:12:26
And she pointed this out to me:
:12:28
"Lookie there, Oscar...
:12:31
"at the cute little creep mousy
in his mousy, mousy bed.
:12:36
"Go down to Fatool's and get your mud...
:12:38
"a big box for the little mousy
to lay his head."
:12:45
You didn't wonder what the hell
she was doing with all these mice beds?
:12:49
No.
:12:50
Because women are afraid of mice.
You know that, don't you?
:12:55
No, I didn't wonder.
