:04:00
You mean that mush?
:04:01
When a guy's okay,
and he wants some man-size food...

:04:04
...why do they hold out on him?
:04:06
You forget you were out on a raft
for 18 days without any food.

:04:09
Your tummy's not ready
for solid food.

:04:11
And why is Sinkewicz's stomach
any different than mine?

:04:14
Because you starved longer
than he did, Jeffy.

:04:16
You gave him the last
of that K ration, remember?

:04:18
That was a great sacrifice.
:04:20
That was no sacrifice.
:04:21
Have you ever tasted K ration?
:04:23
If I starved longer, do they
have to try to finish the job?

:04:26
Of course not,
but the doctors know best.

:04:28
All I get is milk, milk, milk.
:04:29
- Every time I yawn, I'm scared I'll moo.
- Silly boy.

:04:32
I'll get something to read
and be right back.

:04:34
- Hi, fella.
- Hi, Sinkewicz.

:04:37
Say, look, you had steak
again yesterday, didn't you?

:04:39
And today, chicken Maryland.
:04:42
Oh, brother.
:04:43
- How do you work it?
- You gotta use the old magoo, Jeff.

:04:46
That's all. The old magoo.
:04:53
- The old magoo.
- Here we are.

:04:55
Your favorite and mine.
:04:57
Elizabeth Lane.
:04:59
You know, she must be the most
wonderful cook in America.

:05:02
Yeah.
:05:04
I've dreamt about eating
one of her seven-course meals.

:05:07
She says, "Yesterday, my son
was 8 months old.

:05:10
He's getting quite companionable.
:05:12
I sat him in the kitchen with me
while I prepared dinner.

:05:14
And what a dinner it was. I took
crisp lettuce, romaine and crinkly endive...

:05:19
...from my own garden
for my husband's favorite salad.

:05:22
For this I made a rich, creamy
blue cheese dressing.

:05:27
Then to prepare roast duck
his favorite way...

:05:29
...I rub salt and pepper inside,
then brown the duck in its own fat..."

:05:33
Wait. Please.
:05:34
Would you mind?
I know she's a wonderful woman...

:05:36
...a marvelous housekeeper
and a great cook...

:05:39
...but would you mind reading
something else?

:05:41
Well, of course not.
:05:43
How about the new Mayfair?
There's a very funny story in it. I'll get it.

:05:48
Roast duck.
:05:51
Hey, Sink?
:05:55
What do you want now?
:05:56
You're getting to be a problem child.
:05:59
What is this old magoo you talk
about that gets you the food?
