:20:02
- It's out of...
- Don't worry. I'll take care of everything.
:20:05
Miss Scott, take this telegram
to Miss Mary Lee...
:20:08
...Navy Hospital, Staten Island.
:20:10
In reply to your letter of the 15th...
:20:12
...Mrs. Lane will be very pleased
to entertain your friend...
:20:15
...Jefferson Jones.
:20:16
Mr. Yardley, there's something
you should know.
:20:18
Yes. What is it?
:20:21
Well, it was just something
that you should know.
:20:23
It's my child, he's been ill
with whooping cough.
:20:26
Whooping cough.
That's not contagious to adults.
:20:29
My grandchild had it.
Not at all serious nowadays.
:20:31
- Mr. Yardley...
- This will be a great story...
:20:33
...for our next issue, Mrs. Lane. "American
Hero Spends Christmas on Perfect Farm."
:20:38
What a boost for circulation. Yes, indeed.
:20:40
I believe I'll arrange a nice little bonus
for you, in recognition of your cooperation.
:20:44
Thank you very much,
but I really couldn't...
:20:47
Now, now, I know you're not doing this
for any mercenary reason.
:20:50
You're a fine American wife and mother,
and we're proud to have you on our staff.
:20:53
- You could use a little bonus, couldn't you?
- Oh, I guess I could.
:20:56
Splendid. Splendid. Allow me
to shake your hand, Mrs. Lane.
:20:59
I don't know how to tell you this, but...
:21:01
Don't try, my dear. And thank you
very much for coming to see me.
:21:05
- Good afternoon, Mrs. Lane.
- Good afternoon.
:21:15
- Anything wrong, madam?
- Oh, no, nothing at all.
:21:19
He's kind of overpowering, isn't he?
:21:22
Oh, yes. A very strong personality.
:21:24
- Yes.
- Pardon me, Mrs. Lane...
:21:26
...but I'm planning on having a farm
in Connecticut myself one day.
:21:29
I'd like some good bottomland.
:21:32
- Bottomland?
- Yes.
:21:34
That's the best kind for farming,
isn't it?
:21:36
Oh, some people say yes,
and some people say no.
:21:39
But what do you say?
:21:41
I'm inclined to agree with them.
:21:43
Oh, thank you very much.
:21:49
- What's this?
- It's the menu for your Christmas dinner, sir.
:21:52
- It's what the doctor ordered.
- "Mashed prune whip.
:21:55
Creamed turnip fluff."
:21:56
He expects me to eat
these barbaric atrocities?
:21:59
Well, I won't.
