1:03:05
Mrs. Pearce, I'm going along
to the Home Office.
1:03:08
I do hope you find her, Colonel Pickering.
1:03:10
Mr. Higgins will miss her.
1:03:12
Mr. Higgins will miss her, eh?
Blast Mr. Higgins, I'll miss her!
1:03:27
- Mrs. Pearce?
- Yes, sir.
1:03:30
Where's the Colonel?
1:03:31
He's gone to the Home Office, sir.
1:03:34
There you are. I'm disturbed and he runs
for help. Now there's a good fellow.
1:03:40
Mrs. Pearce, you're a woman.
1:03:44
"Why can't a woman be more like a man?
1:03:47
"Men are so decent
Such regular chaps
1:03:51
"Ready to help you
Through any mishaps
1:03:54
"Ready to buck you up
Whenever you are glum
1:03:57
"Why can't a woman be a chum?
1:04:00
"Why is thinking
Something women never do?
1:04:04
"And why is logic never even tried?
1:04:07
"Straightening up their hair
Is all they ever do
1:04:10
"Why don't they straighten up
The mess that's inside?
1:04:13
"Why can't a woman behave like a man?
1:04:16
"If I was a woman
Who'd been to a ball
1:04:19
"Been hailed as a princess
By one and by all
1:04:23
"Would I start weeping
Like a bathtub overflowing?
1:04:26
"Or carry on as if my home were in a tree?
1:04:29
"Would I run off
And never tell me where I'm going?
1:04:32
"Why can't a woman be like me?"
1:04:38
You mean that after you'd done
this wonderful thing for them...
1:04:42
...without making a mistake...
1:04:43
...they just sat there
and never said a word?
1:04:45
Never petted you, or admired you,
or told you how splendid you'd been?
1:04:49
Not a word.
1:04:49
They just congratulated each other
on how marvelous they'd been.
1:04:53
The next moment, how glad they were
it was all over...
1:04:55
...and what a bore it had all been.
1:04:57
This is appalling. I should not
have thrown my slippers at him.
