Thank you.
:16:18
Only two per family, luv.
:16:20
Now then.
:16:22
Brian told me you are all rationed
to two ounces of meat per family a week...

:16:27
...and one egg per person per month!
:16:29
I am simply appalled.
:16:31
Somebody told Brian
about this firm in Denmark.

:16:34
They ship food packages to England.
:16:37
- I use them to send food to my mother.
- Show her the catalogue.

:16:40
They're very reliable. Cheap, too.
:16:43
Well, cheapish.
:16:49
My God!
:16:51
Look at this.
:16:53
They've got spiced lard, liver paste,
meatballs, chocolate shortcake...

:16:59
...margarine, eggs, cheese.
:17:02
They've got everything!
:17:04
Brian's mother couldn't believe her eyes.
:17:07
- What did you send her?
- Tin of ham, sausages.

:17:10
Tinned fruit, plums, raspberries.
:17:12
"Rahzberries." Don't you love that!
:17:14
A whole country says "rahzberries!"
:17:16
They sure do, ma'am!
:17:18
"Rahzberries, rahzberries!"
:17:22
This is terrific. Let's make a list.
:17:26
Where should we start?
:17:27
We must send a ham. It's Christmas.
:17:30
How about some soup?
:17:32
Mulligatawny soup. They'd like that.
:17:34
What else should we send? Vegetables?
:17:38
- What don't they have?
- Haricots verts.

:17:41
Haricots verts!
:17:43
There's two types of haricots verts:
There's "choicest" or there's "choice"!

:17:48
Bananas? Let's send a banana!
:17:51
I'm sending it care of you, FPD...
:17:55
...whoever you are.
:17:57
Noël. Helene Hanff.
:17:59
Pass me one of those cards
to hang over the mirror.
