:05:03
Hi. You're late.
I won't be a minute.

:05:05
Just one last look at the twins
and I've gotta give Sadie her check.

:05:16
On behalf of the underprivileged
children of this town...

:05:18
I'd like to thank you
over-privileged ladies...

:05:20
for sharing your
excess privileges with us.

:05:22
There's something odd-looking
about you today, George.

:05:25
Just that usual two-headed
schoolteacher look.

:05:27
You're all dressed up. Saturday,
no school, and you're all dressed up.

:05:30
Just my little old blue serge.
:05:32
First Saturday of trout season. Brad says
ever since you were big enough lift a fish...

:05:37
Shh. Listen closely.
:05:39
Can you hear the grateful murmur of the trout
as they whisper in the brooks and streams?

:05:43
This is what they whisper:
"Phipps will not fish today."

:05:46
Mm. You're cute. But why?
:05:50
Because I've got
something better to do.

:05:53
Have a nice day.
:06:00
Debby, darling, we'll have to stop station.
I've just got to get my copy off on the 8:42.

:06:04
Do you mind?
:06:10
What's George
being so mysterious about?

:06:13
I wouldn't know.
It seems we're not talking.

:06:15
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's just one of those things.

:06:18
It'll be all right.
Why? Was he acting strangely?

:06:21
Mm. Not exactly. Well, it's only he's
not going fishing and being all dressed up.

:06:25
All dressed up?
:06:28
Why, so he is. His blue suit.
:06:31
On Saturday of all things.
And no fishing. Hmm.

:06:35
The radio hasn't been fixed yet.
:06:37
Oh. And they've just
gone on the air.

:06:40
Oh, well. Save myself listening
to the murder of my little brainchild.

:06:44
Rita, why on earth do you do it?
Five of those radio programs every week.

:06:47
Up until dawn
almost every night.

:06:49
Because each week
I receive in return 100 pieces...

:06:52
of what Addie Ross calls
"the most restful shade of green in the worid."

:06:55
Unquote. Addie again.
:06:57
Why is it that sooner or later,
no matter what we talk about...
