:09:01
Well, all right. Give you a hand
there. Whoop, don't slip! There.
:09:07
You sure this is all right? You
wouldn't rather sit in a booth?
:09:10
Well, all right. Would he prefer a booth?
:09:12
Thank you, Mr. Cracker. He
seems to prefer the bar today.
:09:14
Good afternoon
to you, sir.
:09:18
Mr. Meegles is back. Oh!
:09:21
Well!
:09:24
You...
Excuse me a minute.
:09:26
Mr. Meegles, this is a
pleasure! We've missed you.
:09:30
How are you, Mr. Dowd? Fine.
:09:32
And how is he? Oh, he's
splendid, thank you. Splendid.
:09:35
He decided he wanted to come over
here this afternoon, so here we are.
:09:38
Sit down. Oh, thank you. You've been away.
:09:42
For 90 days. Been doin' a job for
the state. Makin' license plates.
:09:47
Oh, is that so?
Interesting work?
:09:50
I can take it or leave it alone. Oh, I see.
:09:53
I did a job for 'em last year
too. Helpin' 'em build a road.
:09:57
Oh. Well, Mr. Meegles, we'll just
have to do something about your return.
:10:01
Would you like to come to
my house for dinner tonight?
:10:04
Oh, thanks, Mr. Dowd,
but I couldn't make it tonight.
:10:07
Ah, tomorrow night?
Would that suit you?
:10:09
Yes, yes! But you know,
the last time I was there...
:10:13
I kinda got the impression your sister held
it against me because I did a little time.
:10:17
Oh, no. My sister loves to
entertain. She's very social.
:10:21
Yes, I see by the papers. You know
I never miss the society column.
:10:26
You don't? No. She's giving
a clambake this afternoon.
:10:29
This afternoon?
Yeah.
:10:32
"Reception, program and tea,"
it says here,
:10:34
"for the members of the Wednesday Afternoon
Forum," for that rich Mrs. "Shuvanut."
:10:39
Cheva... Yes,
that's Aunt Ethel.
:10:42
Is this today's paper?
:10:44
Veta didn't tell me anything about
this. Must've slipped her mind.
:10:48
Well, I'll see you tomorrow
night at 7:00, Mr. Meegles, huh?
:10:53
Thanks, Mr. Dowd. Very glad
to have seen you. Good-bye.
:10:56
Harvey,
I just found out...
:10:59
Now, what can I do for you?
What did you have in mind?
