:20:00
Mr. Block for you, Mr. McMannus.
:20:05
Here he is now.
:20:10
- Catcher, where are you?
- Mac.
:20:13
Something sprung up. Is she there?
:20:16
- Yes, she is.
- Let me speak to the spinster.
:20:19
Mr. Block would like to speak with you.
:20:26
- This is Barbara Novak.
- I'm so sorry, Miss Novak.
:20:29
The darnedest thing.
:20:31
I was waiting for you at the bar
and a little English foxhound...
:20:34
...walked right in, came up to me
and started nuzzling me.
:20:37
She seemed so lost, and didn't
want to go with anyone else...
:20:40
...so I just had to take care of her.
- Mr. Block, that is so thoughtful.
:20:45
I remember reading that
the true test of a man's character...
:20:48
...is how he treats
a defenseless creature.
:20:51
Tell me, Mr. Block,
how is the little bitch now?
:20:54
Well, I've got her all nestled in a box,
but I don't think she'll be content...
:20:59
...until I'm holding her.
:21:00
Miss Novak, could we
rain check until dinner?
:21:03
Of course.
:21:05
- Well, goodbye, Mr. Block. Until dinner.
- Goodbye.
:21:27
This is Barbara Novak.
:21:29
Miss Novak, I am so sorry,
the darnedest thing.
:21:33
Yes, Mr. Block.
:21:34
I'm out in the park with
my little French poodle...
:21:37
...and she's just not ready to go in yet,
if you know what I mean.
:21:41
Oh, I do.
:21:43
But here's a little advice
from a farm girl to a city boy.
:21:46
You'll find that if you stick
a little twig in her bottom...
:21:49
...she'll remember why she
went out with you in the first place.
:21:53
I'll keep that in mind.
:21:55
Miss Novak, I hate to ask, but could we
rain check until breakfast?
:21:59
Of course. Goodbye, Mr. Block.
Until breakfast.
