Today is... Friday.
:06:02
It is? I have a goose in the oven.
Goose is Thursdays.

:06:06
Oh, never mind.
:06:07
Come in. Come in. Come on.
:06:10
Tuesday's duck, Wednesday's duck,
Thursday's goose.

:06:12
Put your cases down.
:06:14
It's duck, duck, goose.
:06:15
We must have had Wednesday
on Tuesday and Monday on Sunday.

:06:19
It's just one day, I suppose.
:06:22
Last year, we lost October.
:06:24
It's not an easy thing to do, you know,
lose a whole month.

:06:27
I'll get you some towels
and tell your uncle you've arrived.

:06:30
CHILDREN: Thank you.
:06:44
- What a dump.
It's scary.

:06:46
I don't like it very much.
:06:48
I do, it's so Gothic,
just like the Castle Of Terror.

:06:52
- It's like school. You'd love it, Cyril.
- What was that?

:06:55
Nothing.
:06:56
What is this caterwauling and cacophony?
:06:59
Rumbles and grumbles? Distant thunder?
:07:01
Warm air rising, cold front - boom.
:07:03
Not expecting that, I dare say, hmm? What.
:07:06
These are the children I was telling you about -
your nephews and nieces.

:07:09
Impossible. Not due till Friday.
:07:12
- Isn't that right, Horace?
- Yes, Father, not due till Friday.

:07:15
- Today is Friday.
Can't be.

:07:17
Smell that. That's Thursday.
:07:20
Uncle, it's me - CyriI.
:07:22
You came to my eighth birthday party.
:07:24
You gave me a subscription to Algebra Monthly.
:07:27
Cyril? Cyril!
:07:29
No. Cyril was a much smaller boy.
:07:32
But that was five years ago.
:07:34
Was it?
:07:35
Well, er... I should think
he'd be about your age by now.

:07:38
I wonder what he's doing.
:07:40
I can eat a whole goose by myself.
:07:42
Well, if it is Friday, as you assert,
then goose was yesterday,

:07:45
so you'll have to wait till um...
:07:48
er... next Thursday.
:07:49
But there is a goose cooking
and today is Friday.

:07:54
Ah. Well, Martha...
:07:57
Looks like Thursday's gone missing
with last October.

:07:59
Well, well done. Thank you.
