:24:00
Through a full
and somewhat protracted existence,
:24:02
I have learned to accept
the natural tendency
:24:04
of all women to be garrulous.
:24:06
You're very tolerant, Colonel.
:24:25
This is an outrage!
Mrs. Hilton!
:24:28
Can I do anything for you,
Colonel Smollett?
:24:30
- Mother's busy in the kitchen.
- Indeed you can, Miss Hilton.
:24:34
You can tell me
who had the kindness
:24:35
to leave on my bed this
pronouncement from Washington,
:24:37
this lesson in old-world
courtesy and manners.
:24:39
I did that, Colonel Smollett.
:24:41
I thought it might
make it easier for us to get along.
:24:44
Would you mind helping me
with my aquarium?
:24:47
What?
:24:48
Mother's going to use this room.
I have to get my things into Jane's room.
:24:51
Now, if you'll just
grab that end there...
:24:56
Now you walk backwards
and I'll steer you.
:24:59
The big one seems to be
the commanding officer.
:25:02
- Don't you think that's intriguing?
- Fascinating.
:25:06
It's a little over to the right.
:25:08
Be careful not to shake them.
They're very sensitive.
:25:10
You must forgive me
if I do anything wrong.
:25:12
This is my first experience
hauling fish.
:25:16
Thanks, Colonel.
I'll do as much for you someday.
:25:18
I'll tell you what you
can do for me, young woman.
:25:20
There are certain elaborate
suggestions on page three
:25:23
of this war communiqué
concerning the condition,
:25:27
the schedule, and the equipment
of the bathroom.
:25:29
- Oh, yes.
- You do see?
:25:32
Then may I ask you
to follow me for a moment?
:25:36
It was my idea
that we should take in a roomer,
:25:39
and I'm so glad the whole thing's
turned out so super.
:25:41
Since you are so ecstatic
over the whole arrangement,
:25:44
may I ask you whether you
expect me to bathe under that?
:25:50
Golly, there's a shower
off Pop's room... I mean your room.
:25:53
And is it necessary
that your paying guest
:25:55
share the facilities of the house
with this vegetable life?
:25:59
You don't understand. This is
the philodendron Pop gave me.
