:26:02
Thank you, ma'am.
:26:04
- I hope you can't taste the cantaloupe.
- Is that what it is?

:26:08
- I'll get you some fresh.
- No, this is fine.

:26:12
You haven't been our postman
very long, have you?

:26:16
You postmen have things pretty nice.
:26:18
I hear you get a nice pension
from the government after 20 years.

:26:23
I think that's fine. It's a good job, too.
:26:27
You may get tired,
:26:28
but it's good for a man to be outdoors
and get a lot of exercise.

:26:33
My husband is a chiropractor.
:26:35
He has to stay inside his office
all day long.

:26:39
The only exercise he gets
is rubbing people's backbones.

:26:44
But it makes his hands
awful strong, you know.

:26:47
He's got the strongest hands
you ever saw. But a weak digestion.

:26:52
- You want any more?
- No, thanks.

:26:57
You know, my husband
is Alcoholics Anonymous.

:27:01
He wouldn't mind if I told you.
He's proud of it.

:27:04
He hasn't touched a drop in over a year.
:27:07
All that time, we've had a bottle of
whisky in the kitchen. Just for company.

:27:12
He hasn't even gone near it.
Doesn't even want to.

:27:15
Alcoholics can't drink like
ordinary people. They're allergic to it.

:27:20
They start drinking and they can't stop.
Liquor transforms them.

:27:24
But if they leave liquor alone,
they're perfectly all right.

:27:28
They're just like you and me.
:27:30
You should've seen Doc
before he gave it up. He was awful.

:27:33
He lost all his patients,
he didn't wanna go to the office.

:27:37
He just wanted
to stay drunk all day long.

:27:41
You wouldn't believe it now.
He's got all his patients back.

:27:45
- He's doing just fine.
- I know Dr Delaney.

:27:48
I deliver mail to his office.
He's a very fine man.

:27:51
- You don't drink, do you?
- Just a few beers once in a while.

:27:55
I don't think that stuff
is good for anybody.

:27:59
- You got any kids?
- I got three grandchildren.
