"Dear Daddy Longlegs, I doubt
that it will interest you...
:35:09
"but this semester
I have moved up two places.
:35:12
"I am now 12th
in my class.
:35:14
My average is just above a 'B'."
:35:19
Griggs speaking. Yes.
:35:23
Oh, she is?
Uh, just a moment.
:35:28
- Yes, Griggs, old boy. - Jervis, your
sister-in-law, Gertrude, is on the phone.
:35:32
I just left
for Alaska.
:35:34
She's called five times.
:35:36
It's about your house
at Murray Bay.
:35:38
She's decided to spend
the summer there with Linda.
:35:40
She wants you to have
it redecorated. French provincial.
:35:43
She wants me to have
my house redecorated...
:35:46
- so she can use it for her vacation?
- Yes.
:35:49
For Gertrude, it seems
a fairly reasonable request.
:35:51
Well, you can tell my
sister-in-law she can-
:35:55
Uh, tell Mrs. Pendleton
Mr. Pendleton...
:35:57
will be very happy
to have her use the house.
:36:00
Yes, he agrees with her that French
provincial should be most attractive.
:36:04
He wonders why he didn't
think of it himself. Yeah.
:36:09
Now, where was I?
:36:11
"My average
is just above a 'B'."
:36:14
- What?
- The Andre letter.
:36:17
Oh.
:36:20
Uh, file it.
:36:22
You didn't finish
reading it!
:36:26
"It is very hard to go on
writing to a- a thing.
:36:31
"You never answer my questions. You never
show the slightest interest in anything I do.
:36:35
"You don't praise,
and you don't scold.
:36:37
"It's like having
a machine for a father.
:36:40
"I love college,
and I love you for sending me...
:36:42
"but couldn't you write
just one letter?
:36:46
Not too respectfully yours,
Julie."
:36:51
- File it, Miss Pritchard.
- Isn't somebody, someday going to answer that poor child?
:36:55
All right, all right!
