:55:02
The praise is
the important part, chouchou.
:55:05
Thank you, Maman.
:55:11
Here you go. Thank you very much,
Mr. Wright. Pleasant puffing.
:55:14
Thank you.
All set?
:55:15
Oh, you're still here?
Yes, I'm still here,
:55:17
and you are coming along
to Bloomingdale's with me.
:55:20
All right. After all, darling,
you are the artist in the family.
:55:24
I need you. I mean, suppose I picked out something
that would offend your sense of color or design?
:55:29
Really, Eugene, I am glad you're coming
along with me. You have such fabulous taste.
:55:33
Well, I picked you, didn't I?
:55:35
Okay, Charlie,
you take the lead.
:55:44
Maman, that book has made
a new man of Eugene.
:55:47
You can't imagine how he's
changed. I call, he comes gladly.
:55:51
We hardly ever argue anymore. I just follow the
rule: "Never lose your temper with your puppy."
:55:56
Oh. You never lose your temper?
Mm-mm.
:55:58
- Well, he has changed.
- Of course, I'm careful, like the book says, not to overtrain him.
:56:03
I frolic with him a part of each day. You know, that's
especially important if your pet is fun-loving by nature.
:56:07
And mine is extremely fun-loving.
:56:10
You make living together so much fun
that he really doesn't mind being married.
:56:14
That's right. I...
:56:17
I. Oh, Maman,
why didn't you tell me?
:56:24
Well, Gene hasn't changed at all.
He's exactly the same.
:56:28
I'm the one who's been in training.
I'm the one who's changed.
:56:31
Exactly.
:56:33
The only thing that has changed is the
way you treat your husband... like a dog.
:56:38
Maman, you are a genius.
:56:41
For this, we both have
my mother to thank.
:56:44
She once told me to observe: Husbands
often leave home; pets never do.
:56:50
There must be a reason. A smart
mother who had a smart mother.
:56:54
I must say that does give one
a terrific sense of security.
:56:57
And to think, I used to be worried
about my French and Boston background.
