Everywhere freesia.
Daddy loves freesia.

:02:03
Good morning. Good morning.
Oh. Hello. Hi.

:02:06
- Lights?
- ''Lights.''

:02:08
Not too bright and not too dark.
:02:12
l'm looking for
a saffron glow,

:02:15
sort of tea-dance '20s.
:02:17
lf food is the prose of a party,
:02:19
then lights are its poetry.
:02:26
lt works. lf food is the prose
of a party, lights are its poetry.

:02:29
l like that. lf music were the food of
love, play on. l'm going out of my mind.

:02:33
Good morning, Mr. Parrish.
:02:35
- What do you think of all this, Helen?
- lt's gonna be beautiful.

:02:37
And Allison says
the president may come.

:02:40
- The president's got better things
to do than come to my birthday party.
- Like what?

:02:43
- Daddy? Do you have a minute?
- Good morning, Allison.

:02:45
Not much more.
Big day in the big city.

:02:47
- What's on your mind?
- Fireworks. Update:

:02:50
- We are constructing
the number 65 on the barge.
- Mm-hmm.

:02:53
Archers from the State College of New
Paltz will shoot flaming arrows at it.

:02:56
When it catches fire, it will give us
the effect of a Viking funeral,

:03:01
but with none of the morbidity.
:03:03
The Hudson River Authority
says that for you,
they'll make a special dispensation.

:03:06
But, of course,
there will be an overtime bill...

:03:09
for the Poughkeepsie
Fire Department.

:03:10
So, what do you think?
:03:14
Good? No good?
:03:16
Allison, l trust you.
This is your thing.

:03:19
But it's your birthday.
l hate arrows. They make me nervous.

:03:24
- Good morning, Dad.
- Good morning, honey.

:03:26
-Morning.
-Morning. You're ''Honey.'' l'm ''Allison.''

:03:29
Oh.
:03:31
Dad, Drew called from the helicopter,
and they're still two minutes away.

:03:35
- Drew's aboard?
- Mm-hmm.

:03:37
He wanted to ride
back down with you.

:03:39
Why don't you sit down, relax, and get
some food in that flat tummy of yours.

:03:43
- Are you coming?
- No.

:03:45
You've got patients to attend to.
l've got three hysterical chefs,

:03:48
one of whom loves truffles,
the other one hates truffles,

:03:50
and the third one doesn't
even know what truffles are.

:03:53
- l hate parties.
- But, Daddy, calm down.

:03:56
You're gonna love it.
l swear.

:03:58
lsn't it enough to be on
the Earth for 65 years without
having to be reminded of it?
