:35:02
Uh, what's, uh, Mr. Phipps gonna be
so perfect for on the radio?

:35:06
Nothing, and you keep quiet about it.
:35:09
I will.
Only he won't.

:35:14
Good evening one and all.
:35:17
- Hello, George.
- Well, how now? Why the look of doom?

:35:21
Ohhh. Did you forget
to baste the ducks?

:35:25
Look. I don't teach you about teachin'.
Don't you teach me about duck.

:35:29
Oh, Sadie's been an ángel. Looks like I'll be
up most of the night making revisions.

:35:32
- Mrs. Manleigh just called.
- But you're giving a dinner party for her tonight.

:35:35
She suggested calling it off,
but I wouldn't hear of it.

:35:37
Why can't Mrs. Manleigh,
just for once...

:35:39
tell the sponsor to call off
his wife's revisions?

:35:42
You don't tell a sponsor
things like that about his wife.

:35:44
George, you...
you just don't understand.

:35:47
No, I suppose not. Well, it may not make
your bad news any better...

:35:50
but I got good news.
:35:52
Have you, darling? Oh, George,
10 of 7:00. We've gotta get dressed.

:35:55
- Don't you wanna hear my good news?
- Of course I do.

:35:58
- Did you get the liquor and cigarettes?
- Right here.

:36:00
Oh, now, you check the cigarette boxes
while I put the liquor away.

:36:04
Why does everything have to be full
when guests arrive?

:36:07
Full cigarette boxes, candy dishes.
Fresh cakes of soap.

:36:11
Aren't we supposed to eat,
smoke or wash when we're alone?

:36:14
- Where's the scotch?
- I didn't buy any.

:36:16
- Why not?
- Too expensive. Bourbon's a better drink anyway.

:36:20
But the Manleighs
are a cinch to want scotch.

:36:23
People in show business, you know what I mean.
Those kind always drink scotch.

:36:27
Well, I know what you mean, but I wish
you wouldn't say it in radio English.

:36:30
"That kind," not "those kind."
:36:32
There are men who say "those kind"
who earn $100,000 a year.

:36:36
There are men who say, "Stick 'em up,"
who earn more. I don't expect to do either.

:36:39
Nor are you expected
to pay for the scotch.

:36:44
You're quite right.
Funny how it slips my mind...

:36:47
that in certain respects,
I'm only the titular head of this house.

:36:50
Oh. Don't be silly, darling.
:36:56
I thought it very amusing
to begin with.

:36:59
Very, uh, modern and enlightened.
