1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: Read Henry old great coming father.

2
00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the Aldridge Family transcribe and written by Clippe.

3
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: Goldsmith.

4
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: Everyone knows Centerville, USA because it's your own hometown, and

5
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,719
everyone knows the Aldridge family because they're your bury next

6
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:45,399
door neighbors. And everyone especially knows Henry Aldridge because he's

7
00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:49,280
your son's pale, your daughter's boyfriend, a real American boy.

8
00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:52,520
The scene is the Aldridge living room. The time is

9
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,280
early evening.

10
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 4: Henry get washed.

11
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,679
Speaker 1: It is almost ready.

12
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:01,759
Speaker 5: Sam, I think Henry's getting ideas again about my birthday

13
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:02,640
present this year.

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,879
Speaker 4: I hope you gave him a clear hint as to

15
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:05,599
what I wanted.

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: I did a clear hint.

17
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 6: I told him you wanted Hemingway's new book, The Old

18
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:11,400
Man in the Sea.

19
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:13,079
Speaker 3: You got a clear hint.

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: Well, Henry. I'm not sure did he say.

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 6: Anything, No, but I had a definite feeling he was

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,599
wondering why you were interested in other old man when.

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:20,879
Speaker 3: You had me.

24
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 4: Now, Dear, I just hope it sinks in. I don't

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,920
want another pair of Siamese fighting fish like last year.

26
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: It was depressing the way those two fish hated each other.

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,159
Speaker 3: Father, I've been here with your mother Henry.

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: Jeers, I didn't mean any rock.

29
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: It's all right, dear. I was just telling your father

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,480
how much.

31
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 5: I wanted to read The Old Man in the Sea,

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,680
The Old Man in What's that?

33
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 7: Mother?

34
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 5: Sam?

35
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: I'll try again?

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,599
Speaker 1: Father? Did I tell you what I'm going to put

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,719
over on Charlie Clark?

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:50,359
Speaker 4: Boy?

39
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Am I gonna make money.

40
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: Put over on him? Henry? I hope you're not planning

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,799
to do something you shouldn't.

42
00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:57,599
Speaker 1: Oh no, Charlie wants to buy this flashlight.

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: See, and you're telling the flashlight I bought you this?

44
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,480
Oh no, sir, one just like it looks the same

45
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:02,719
to me.

46
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: Well, sure, they're both super ray hydrojet cosmic beams, only

47
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:09,719
this one doesn't work. Oh, Charlie wants to buy my

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,840
super ray hydrojet cosmic beam. Only I wouldn't sell it. See.

49
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,759
But today I happened to be talking to another guy

50
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,360
and he said, just casually, do you want to buy

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,840
a super ray hydro jet cosmic beam? And it was

52
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:23,080
exactly like mine except for the difference. So I said,

53
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,960
I'll give you twenty five cents for it. He said thirty.

54
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:27,280
I said, no, twenty five.

55
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:28,319
Speaker 3: He said how much?

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 7: Did you?

57
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 6: Finally, pay for it thirty cents, and now you have

58
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:36,000
two super something or other cosmic beams.

59
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Well, sure, but isn't a clear father. I'll buy batteries

60
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:41,400
for twenty five cents. So one flashlight to Charlie for

61
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:45,479
a dollar and make fifty cents clear profit. Hmmm, Father,

62
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,599
would you going to take a look at it?

63
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,719
Speaker 3: Why should I look at it?

64
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:50,199
Speaker 1: Boy just told me maybe you'd like to make an offer.

65
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:52,439
Speaker 3: I have a flash dive, but do.

66
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: You have one you can buy for a dollar? I mean, well,

67
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:57,039
this one will help you see where you're going.

68
00:02:57,439 --> 00:02:59,199
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Henry, but I know where I'm going.

69
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Mother. Would you like to get in on the opportunity? Mother?

70
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,919
Be right there, Mary pors your mother.

71
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: No, thank you, Henry.

72
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be interested in owning something that could keep

73
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:11,639
it from stumbling over stuff?

74
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:12,879
Speaker 4: Mother?

75
00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:15,199
Speaker 3: Apparently she'd rather stumble.

76
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,599
Speaker 1: Father. Now that mother's going, I can tell you why

77
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,759
I'm making all this money. Why it's for her birthday.

78
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,599
Speaker 6: I thought you had some money, at least enough to

79
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,599
give her that book she.

80
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Wants I have, Father, but I certainly don't want to

81
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,919
give her just a book for her birthday.

82
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,759
Speaker 6: After she slaved over me all these years, she wants

83
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,800
Hemingway's book.

84
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: Son.

85
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,599
Speaker 1: This flashlight is only the beginning. I'll make at least

86
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,360
fifty cents on it. Then I'll invest that and double it.

87
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,879
Then I'll invest that and triple it. She by the

88
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:43,319
time her birthday comes around, I can get.

89
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 6: Her anything what she wants, Henry. Is the book, Henry?

90
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:47,759
Speaker 1: Yes?

91
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,639
Speaker 5: Mother, If you answer the phone, please, and if it's

92
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:51,879
for you, keep it short.

93
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Dinner isn't five minutes? Sure? Mother? You know father, I

94
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:57,759
wonder why more people don't go into business.

95
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: Answered the phone?

96
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: Yes, or I'm answering it.

97
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,159
Speaker 1: Hello, Henry, My mother said you wanted me to call

98
00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:07,080
you about something, and I'm also to say we've got

99
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,199
to eat in three minutes. Oh is that you? Charlie?

100
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,759
Hello Charlie, old timer. What do you want, Henry? It's

101
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,560
a great opportunity, Charlie. I've located a Swell super ray

102
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:23,000
hydrojet cosmic beam so wild well, I might be willing

103
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:25,199
to sell it to you. I don't want one anymore.

104
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:28,199
You don't want one. I'm going to save up and

105
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240
get a camera. See with Charlie. That leaves me holding

106
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,560
two super That's no way to do business. Who's talking

107
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,079
about business. I just want a camera now. Well, wouldn't

108
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,079
you like a flashlight so you can see where you're going?

109
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:43,519
I'd rather take pictures and see where I've been. But

110
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,800
Charlie so low.

111
00:04:45,839 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 8: Oh boy, I've got to go to class.

112
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Henry, either you do or you don't want to buy

113
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,720
this camera. But Homer, two dollars for a second hand camera?

114
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,959
You sound like my mother at the meat markets. Wait

115
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,560
a minute, would you take the super ray hydrojet cosmic

116
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,319
beam for it? Ma? Oh gee, let's see it. It

117
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:18,040
doesn't like any ordinary flashlight.

118
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 4: Well let's see.

119
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Just press the old super ray button here and well,

120
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:23,399
if you had a battery, you get your cosmic beam.

121
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:28,800
Oh boor about it. I don't want it. I'll wait

122
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,199
a minute, Homer. I'm not asking you to pay me

123
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,279
for this. I'll give it to you for the camera.

124
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,199
Well give me the super ray hydro jet cosmic beam

125
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,160
and a dollar. I'll give you the super ray hydrojet

126
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,040
cosmic beam and fifty dollar fifty seventy five, sixty seventy

127
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:47,199
sixty five. So you know, Homer, that's the way I

128
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,120
like to do business. And if you see Charlie Clark

129
00:05:50,319 --> 00:06:00,160
tell him. I've got something for him. But gee, whiz, other,

130
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800
Charlie's only coming over for a little while tonight. For

131
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,759
how long, dear, we'll probably haggle a little?

132
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 4: How long will it take you to haggle?

133
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: It depends on who's the best haggler. Only I'm sure

134
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:12,240
I can out haggle him.

135
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:15,639
Speaker 3: And your pardon my mentioning anything is unimportant as homework.

136
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: It's perfectly all right, father.

137
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,879
Speaker 3: Thank you. When are you going to attend to it?

138
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,199
Speaker 1: Just as soon as I've cleaned up, Charlie. And don't worry, father,

139
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:25,920
The assignment tonight is a breeze. It's an essay, and

140
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,399
I've got it all down in my mind.

141
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 6: And may I suggest you start transferring it from your

142
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:30,399
mind to paper?

143
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,639
Speaker 3: Pardon me start writing?

144
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:35,879
Speaker 1: It won't take me a half hour, honest. We all

145
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,120
have to write about the profession I am preparing for.

146
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: Well, that's fine.

147
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 6: You know I wasn't much older than you when I

148
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:46,399
started thinking seriously about preparing myself for law, for law.

149
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,399
Speaker 1: For law. Well, the only thing that really appeals to

150
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:50,639
me is selling things.

151
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,639
Speaker 3: Selling things.

152
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:54,439
Speaker 1: Sure, I buy something for a little and I sell

153
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:55,240
it to you for a lot.

154
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 4: Why do you want to do that, dear.

155
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Gee, mother, I guess I have an act for it.

156
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,079
That's so, maybe it's hereditary. Did we ever have any

157
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,319
tycoons in our family?

158
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 6: I don't mind just shooting high son, but don't overlook

159
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,199
the legal profession.

160
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,759
Speaker 3: Well it isn't bad, you know. I have provided a

161
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,360
very comfortable home here, haven't I? As a lawyer?

162
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 7: Well?

163
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:18,439
Speaker 1: Sure, father, But wasn't the man that told it to you?

164
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,800
A businessman? He was there? You are. He's got all

165
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:23,399
your money and all you've got was this house.

166
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:25,279
Speaker 3: Boy.

167
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: I hope that isn't Charlie yet, but.

168
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:27,639
Speaker 4: You're expecting it.

169
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Only Toby's supposed to get here first.

170
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: I agreed to Charlie.

171
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: But Toby, he's part of the same deal. Mother. If

172
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:35,439
you want to see how big business operates, stick around.

173
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,519
Oh boy, Toby. For a minute, I was afraid you

174
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:39,120
were Charlie.

175
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: Well I'm not.

176
00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: I know it. Come on in, don't you want me

177
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,360
to come over for I want you to help me

178
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:47,199
do something? Come on, Toby, we'll go in the dining room.

179
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,120
What's it about Henry? First of all, you're positive you

180
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,920
don't want to buy a camera. Henry. I'm in the

181
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,759
position of not being able to buy even a package

182
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,079
of chewing gum. Well, look, maybe we can work a

183
00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:00,240
little commission out of this. Charlie Clark does I want

184
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,040
to buy a sea but he'll try to get it

185
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:04,319
from me cheap. And what do I do? You'll wait

186
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,439
out here alone, see and then when you hear Charlie

187
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,920
make an offer on my camera, you come into the

188
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,240
living room as though you wanted it and offer ten

189
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:13,600
cents more. But Henry, I'll just explained my financial situation.

190
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,920
You don't need any money, Toby. This is just a

191
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:17,199
way to encourage business.

192
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: Henry, you have another guess.

193
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,639
Speaker 1: Yes, mother, I'm getting things ready for him. I raised

194
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,879
Charlie ten Sam, sure, okay, now stay here while I

195
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:29,959
go into the living room. Okay, coming father, Hello, Henry,

196
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:35,639
Hi there, Charlie, sit on my friend. Oh of you, mother, Father,

197
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:37,600
you mind if we discuss a little business in front

198
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,600
of you? Of course, someday when I have my own office.

199
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 3: Thank you. But I think I'll do some work out

200
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,120
in the garage.

201
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 5: It there's a.

202
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: Frost tonight, Sam is too cold to work out there.

203
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,039
Speaker 3: In the basement.

204
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,759
Speaker 1: But if you really like to stay here, I'm not

205
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:49,960
that blood thirsty.

206
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: It's sam.

207
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,879
Speaker 7: I want to show you for like another shelf of reserves.

208
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: What did your father mean about not being bloodthirsty? Oh?

209
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,679
Just a family expression. Here, Charlie, take a more comfortable chair.

210
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:06,919
What's wrong with this? I just thought you'd feel better with.

211
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 4: Your head tip back.

212
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:14,639
Speaker 1: Nah. How is it out, Charlie? Still cold ice on

213
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,240
the puddles early for this time of year. Uh huh.

214
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:24,240
How's your family? Yeah? Pretty well, my sister was just

215
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,399
vaccinated on her arm. Say that reminds me. Still need

216
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,720
a camera nowhere? I could get one cheap. I think

217
00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:35,600
I could put my hands on one. What's that in

218
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:39,720
your pocket? This? Well, I'll be dog gone. It's a camera.

219
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:42,519
Let's see it. Too bad? I can't sell it to you.

220
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,679
You can't. No, not for less than two dollars. Anyhow

221
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:48,519
did you hear me, Charlie? I say not for less

222
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:51,279
than two dollars? I heard you. Of course, if you

223
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:54,480
don't want it, I have someone that is interested. Yeah,

224
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,559
it's just a second. I thought I heard something out

225
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,759
toward the dining room, like what, No, nothing, I guess

226
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:06,159
I didn't. He offered me two dollars, Charlie. I can

227
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,639
hear you Henry, I said two.

228
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,279
Speaker 8: Dollars, Charlie, I haven't got that much.

229
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: Oh well, how much have you got? Fifty cents or

230
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,919
fifty cents? That's all here? Take back your camera?

231
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:20,799
Speaker 7: Good Charlie.

232
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: I thought you wanted a camera. I do, well, how

233
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,000
are you gonna buy it with only fifty cents? That's

234
00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:27,720
what I'm telling you. I can't. But Charlie, don't you

235
00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:30,879
have any sense of responsibility? Would you let me swap

236
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,080
you anything for it? What if you got well? Would

237
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,879
you be interested in a thing that's at homann aar

238
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:39,360
atic that cost eight dollars and ninety five cents when

239
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:42,480
it was new? Hey? What is it? A very good

240
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:48,440
beach umbrella? What didn't you ever hear of a beach umbrella?

241
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,720
What would I do with it? Sit under it so

242
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:55,000
you don't get sunburned? Don't you know anyone that wouldn't

243
00:10:55,039 --> 00:10:56,039
like to get sunburned?

244
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:56,919
Speaker 5: Oh?

245
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: I might be able to do something with it. It's

246
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,080
still as good as new, it's hardly ever been sat

247
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:04,240
on them. You'll swap it for this camera and one dollar.

248
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:07,360
I'll wait, Charlie. You aren't supposed to be selling me anything.

249
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,679
I'm selling you something that's why I invited you over look.

250
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,159
I'll give you the camera and fifty cents for the umbrella.

251
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,919
Fifty cents sixty cents? Who said that?

252
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:18,960

00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:20,600

266
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,279

267
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,200

Speaker 9: Hello, missus, boyees, this is Mary Aldrich.

272
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:11,279
Speaker 1: I'm not interrupting your dinner.

273
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 3: Am I?

274
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: Oh?

275
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 9: Fine. Yes, we finished quite a while ago too, in

276
00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:20,759

Speaker 8: Thank you?

282
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 9: Goodbye. Henry was there, and Missus Borhees is all confused

283
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,240
because he went into a long rigmarole about the dangers

284
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,200
of winter sun.

285
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 5: Really well, this time, Henry WI simply have to go

286
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:44,639
without his dinner.

287
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, evening.

288
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: Mother.

289
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't even want to bite to eat good. I

290
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,720
wouldn't even think of troubling you.

291
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,759
Speaker 4: Fine, and my conscience won't bother me.

292
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 7: Henry.

293
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:54,519
Speaker 4: Where have you been?

294
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: We've phoned all over well, I think the last place. Yes,

295
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:00,360
I just came from Missus.

296
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:01,519
Speaker 9: Did she buy the umbrella?

297
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:03,279
Speaker 1: No? Mary, She says she won't need to keep the

298
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,480
sun offer until next July.

299
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: Mary.

300
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,399
Speaker 9: No, Henry, for the tenth time, I don't want.

301
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 4: To beach umbrella. Get washed up, Henry. I'll heat up

302
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,399
some supper for you, mother. I thought you said he

303
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,360
was I'm weak.

304
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:15,919
Speaker 5: Mary.

305
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,279
Speaker 1: Now listen, Mary, you may not want an umbrella, but

306
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:21,440
there are some birthdays coming along in a few weeks.

307
00:13:21,639 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 4: I don't want an umbrella, Eiger, nor do I.

308
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:29,039
Speaker 6: Oh, good evening, Father, Hi, Henry, Alice. I finished that

309
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,000
shelf for your preserves downstairs. You want to see it later, dear?

310
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: And did you make quite a bit on your umbrella?

311
00:13:34,159 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: So n, she whized, Father. Isn't a question of how

312
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:39,639
much I make on it. I mean, with a valuable

313
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:42,639
bargain like that, it's a question of deciding who will

314
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,159
let in on the deal. That's the way I look

315
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,679
at it. I'll bet. Now listen, Mary.

316
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:50,519
Speaker 6: A beech umbrella when the frost is on the pumpkin.

317
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,879
Speaker 1: Mary, do you know anybody who's going to Florida?

318
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 9: Well, Evelyn William's family is, Oh no, they're going to

319
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,440
Vermont for the skiing.

320
00:13:58,799 --> 00:13:59,799
Speaker 7: Excuse me, I'll see that.

321
00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:03,639
Speaker 1: He's kind of dangerous, isn't it. I wonder if I

322
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:04,360
could psue.

323
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: How much have you put into that umbrella so far?

324
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: Well, so far only a dollar ninety cents, but it's

325
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,159
all for mother's presence. You're out a dollar ninety Well,

326
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,080
I'm out at the moment, but I'm hoping to come

327
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,720
back from the limb. Father, I think you're just looking

328
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,440
at this as though I weren't getting anywhere. Night before

329
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:25,879
last I had a flashlight. Then I got a camera

330
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,240
with it. No, I've got an umbrella. Don't you call

331
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:32,080
that progress?

332
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm only a lawyer. I don't know a thing

333
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:36,039
about big business.

334
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,799
Speaker 1: Well, in big business you have to think big.

335
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:42,559
Speaker 9: Here and she wants to know if we have any

336
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,039
old mayonnaise jars?

337
00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:48,159
Speaker 1: Any what hi, Henry, evening, mister Aldy, good evening, Agnes.

338
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,519
What do you want mayonnaise jars for?

339
00:14:49,759 --> 00:14:50,759
Speaker 4: I'm collecting them.

340
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,919
Speaker 3: That's an interesting hobby.

341
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:53,399
Speaker 4: Mister Aldrich.

342
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 9: My hobby is men, not mayonnaise for something else.

343
00:14:57,559 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: Hen Well, there's I'm in the basement.

344
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Okay, follow me, be careful on the stead, Agnes. What

345
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:06,120
do you do with the jars? Just something?

346
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 9: I've been working my head off getting.

347
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: Them mayonnaise jars. Isn't there a bore? I suppose any

348
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:12,360
jar might do?

349
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 9: Except in the speech that Congressman made, he said, mayonnaise jars.

350
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:19,879
Speaker 1: You mean they're worth something? Can you keep quiet about it? Sure?

351
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 9: I mean because if more people realize the possibilities, well

352
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,600
everyone in Centerville might start saving mayonnaise jars.

353
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: What speech? What Congressman?

354
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 9: It was just a squib in the newspaper a week

355
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440
or so ago. Yeah, it had to do with conserving

356
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,840
tenC And this congressman is trying to put through a

357
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,799
bill in Congress where c rations for the arm you'll

358
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,720
be put up in things like mayonnaise jars, for example,

359
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:46,200
instead of ten can. Very interesting, and he said the

360
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,159
government could help reduce taxes by buying them at low

361
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,679
cost from the public.

362
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: Oh boy, do you think the bill will passed? Father

363
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,320
said it was just nutty enough to how much are

364
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,519
they gonna pay for the jars?

365
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:01,679
Speaker 9: Well, up to now, I've just been collecting, had.

366
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,919
Speaker 7: Done nearly two hundred.

Speaker 1: Geez, Agnes, would you be interested in looking at something

368

Speaker 7: What her?

00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,879
I let you have without any cost you whatsoever?

380

Henry ot Henry and setting out to raise money for

his mother's birthday present, has gone through a series of

401
00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:59,920
intricate business transactions, only to end up with some mayonnaised

402
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,599
yours and so far not a cent of profit.

403
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: The scene opens in the Aldrich Hall.

404
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 4: Hello, it's Alice.

405
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 5: Dear.

406
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 4: Are you busy with anyone at the office? No, dear,

407
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:13,839
I just had to call you. Sam.

408
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,319
Speaker 5: I was in Missus Browning's gift shop this morning and

409
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,640
I saw the loveliest china tea set.

410
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,519
Speaker 4: Oh you can take that? How much is it? Sound

411
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:23,799
out of your voice, dear?

412
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,599
Speaker 5: Missus Browning told me Henry had asked her to hold

413
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,720
it for him and Sam. It's twenty dollars, and he

414
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:31,079
told her the price didn't matter.

415
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 4: He was in a very successful business.

416
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:35,039
Speaker 3: Henry did seem pretty happy about something.

417
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 4: You saw him today to drop by the office.

418
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 6: Wanted to borrow some of my business stationary, Alice, Yeah,

419
00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:44,240
have you any idea why he'd be writing to Congress?

420
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 7: Good?

421
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 4: Heavens?

422
00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 6: No, Well, I thought maybe you might seems to have

423
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,200
something to do with your birthday.

424
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: Nine and three, nine hundred and four, nine hundred and five.

425
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,039
Speaker 3: Allus, Yes, sir, what's this under the sofa?

426
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: It's mayonnaise jars.

427
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: He's keeping that. That's frong with the cellar.

428
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 5: I don't think there's any more room in the cellar.

429
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,519
Henry took it out with him. I got more jars. Mary,

430
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,880
you're over doing.

431
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,519
Speaker 3: Must have put those bottles down right here in the

432
00:19:33,559 --> 00:19:34,000
living room.

433
00:19:34,079 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: It's only for a second father, Mother, if you could

434
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,000
have anything for your birthday you wanted, What would.

435
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,559
Speaker 4: You like if I could have anything? Not just a book?

436
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:46,839
Speaker 1: You mean? Yes, it's just sort of a hyper theoretical question.

437
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 5: Well, to be honest, it might be a tea set.

438
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,240
I saw it Browning's gift chop with lavender flowers on

439
00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:53,839
the cups?

440
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: Is that right? Lavender flowers?

441
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 5: But I'm afraid it costs far more than I could

442
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,599
ever pay for it.

443
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: Is that that's right?

444
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:01,039
Speaker 4: Henry?

445
00:20:01,279 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: What Mary?

446
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 9: You've got to take those mayonnaise johns off the front.

447
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 4: Fall I find a place to put them.

448
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,079
Speaker 9: Marry, Mother, are you actually encouraging Henry?

449
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: Father, I want to make a proposition.

450
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,519
Speaker 3: I do not want to buy any of those jars.

451
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,039
Speaker 1: Oh, it isn't that, Father, How would you like to invest?

452
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,400
Just invest in my business?

453
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,599
Speaker 3: What are you doing, Henry?

454
00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: Forming a mayonnaise monopoly? Geeze? Maybe I am becoming a

455
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,559
sort of empty jar king right now? Though I need

456
00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:32,559
some working capital.

457
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,839
Speaker 6: Do you mean to say you've actually spent all you

458
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:36,559
have on nothing but jars?

459
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: Well? She whish why shouldn't. I I'm gonna get a

460
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,920
swell present for mother, and I'll have a fortune to

461
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,599
spend when Christmas rolls around. Father, do you still wish

462
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:46,160
you could afford to build a wing on the garage

463
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,319
for a swell machine shop?

464
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:49,759
Speaker 3: How much have you spent all together?

465
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,079
Speaker 4: Son?

466
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: Just a little over seven dollars?

467
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,559
Speaker 6: And Henry, that comes a time in every business when

468
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:59,559
the investment must begin to show a profit. Otherwise, Master,

469
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,359
little thing thing called bankruptcy is it's ugly ahead?

470
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:05,519
Speaker 1: Oh, don't you worry. Just as soon as the government

471
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:09,400
sends for the jar's government. Just wait, father, Henri, you know.

472
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 5: What happened to that large jar of mayonnaise I bought yesterday?

473
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:16,559
Speaker 1: Yes, Mother, it's on a plate in the ice box, Henry,

474
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:32,240
old rich. Oh boy, the mailman, Henry breakfast, just getting

475
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:39,519
the mail? Mother, Oh boy, it's here. Anything for me, Henry, Yes, sir,

476
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:41,640
but I think it's for me. Actually, you see I

477
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,000
wrote it on your station area.

478
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 3: I have it, please, yes, sir.

479
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: But if you could read it aloud, I mean it'll

480
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,039
concern me and in a way sort of concerned mother. MM.

481
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:52,039
Speaker 3: I don't understand this.

482
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: What is it?

483
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,319
Speaker 4: Sam? Each your serial Henry.

484
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,759
Speaker 3: Dear constituent, this man isn't from our state.

485
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,559
Speaker 6: Please go on, father, It takes a man of your

486
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,559
large vision to see the worthiness of the bill I

487
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,240
presented to Congress and the interest of conserving tin by

488
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:13,400
using glass jars for military rations. Oh boy, unfortunately my

489
00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:17,279
bill has been killed in committee. What moreover, since my

490
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,720
own party has not seen fit to renominate me for

491
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,519
the first thing.

492
00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 7: Oh boy, Well, Sam, isn't it nice to come home

493
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,440
and not find a house full of mayonnaise jars?

494
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,559
Speaker 3: Where'd they all go?

495
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:38,559
Speaker 4: I don't know.

496
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 5: I simply came up the front walk this afternoon as

497
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,680
a truck was leaving loaded with him.

498
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: Mother.

499
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 4: Has there been a phone call for me this afternoon?

500
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:46,839
Not that I know of.

501
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,319
Speaker 3: Get a good bargain for your jars? Henry?

502
00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:49,759
Speaker 7: Boy?

503
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,839
Speaker 1: Did I did? I? Well? Sure, I met a boy

504
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,920
that lives out on a farm, see, and I just

505
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,440
happened to mention casually that I've been saving mayonnaise jars

506
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,920
for the government, and right away he wanted to buy them.

507
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,559
Speaker 4: I hope you're told him the government couldn't use them.

508
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:05,079
Speaker 1: There wasn't any reason I should tell him, was there?

509
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 4: Dear? I think you should have.

510
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: Well, he didn't even ask me, mother, And in business,

511
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,799
if someone doesn't ask you something, you don't tell them.

512
00:23:12,839 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 3: How much did you make?

513
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: Well, that part would be hard to say. I've got

514
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,359
to do a little figuring first.

515
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 3: Didn't you sell for cash cash?

516
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,079
Speaker 1: Father? When I could get a better proposition?

517
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 3: What did you pay the jars for?

518
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:29,279
Speaker 1: Just a little something and there's always a good market

519
00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:29,519
for it.

520
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 3: I hope you didn't have to pay anything in addition

521
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:33,480
to the jar?

522
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: Just two dollars? You put two more dollars, I am

523
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:46,359
it's for me Mary, Gee, whizz, I'll be right back. Father. Hello,

524
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,880
is this the Centerville meat market? Well? Look, how much

525
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,960
would you pay for a pig? A pig? How much

526
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,279
a pound? Is that all?

527
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:58,279
Speaker 2: Well?

528
00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:00,279
Speaker 1: So whiz? My mother was complaining about the price, said

529
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:01,880
pork chops. I don't see why she showed up a

530
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:07,880
whole piggle, oh wholesale? Well, well, I wish youd come

531
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,799
out and look at her. Only remember I'm in business

532
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:13,759
to make money, Yes, sir, goodbye?

533
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 5: Who were you talking to Henry?

534
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: Mother? How did you say you were paying for pork chops?

535
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, pork.

536
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,599
Speaker 1: Chops as an average for the best what do.

537
00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:26,559
Speaker 3: You think I just found out in the garage?

538
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 4: Whad you say a hog?

539
00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:30,759
Speaker 1: Said?

540
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,079
Speaker 3: Yes, Alice, in the garage, Bobby, let me explain. You

541
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,359
know where it came from.

542
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, all right, I'll give you just five.

543
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: Minutes to get it out. It's my investment, Alice.

544
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: Dear, would you mind if Henry and I had a

545
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,759
serious talk together?

546
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 5: No, dear, I'm afraid it's time sit down, Henry.

547
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: Father, May I suggest something?

548
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,839
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, This farm boy what's his name?

549
00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: Billy Webber?

550
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,799
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, Weber. I know his father. He had a

551
00:24:59,799 --> 00:25:02,200
bad time of it because of the dry spell last summer.

552
00:25:02,599 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: I know Billy did say the pig was a little

553
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,039
too thin the market, and I was hoping by the

554
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:08,079
time Mother's birthday came in.

555
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: Henry, I think you should give Billy back his pig.

556
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:15,079
Speaker 1: Well, gee, if he was dumb enough to buy those jars.

557
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,480
If I sell the pig, I lose only four dollars. Now,

558
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:22,200
if I give her back to Billy, I lose everything. Besides,

559
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,119
I don't want those jars back. I've sunk every cent

560
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,119
I have into this. I'm interested, Henry. What are you

561
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,559
going to do? I won't be able to give mother

562
00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:33,920
even a book. We'll have to cancel the tea set.

563
00:25:35,599 --> 00:25:36,920
I'll give him back the pig. Father.

564
00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: I'm glad anybody home in here.

565
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:43,279
Speaker 1: Homer, Hey, you got any more mayonnaise jars to sell?

566
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,440
Why you know that, Billy wherever you sold them to? Hello,

567
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,599
mister Olivich.

568
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: Hello Homer, Yeah, Homer, what happened?

569
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 4: He sold them?

570
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: He sold them all, three thousand of them, at a

571
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,960
half a cent each to who, the state agricultural laboratories.

572
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,079
They grow culturals in them half a cent. He made

573
00:25:59,079 --> 00:26:03,759
fifteen bucks in the plus what you paid him. Oh boy,

574
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,480
you know what, I'm gonna make Billy take the pig

575
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:08,079
back and give me what he got for the jars.

576
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,359
You are just because his family needs the money shouldn't

577
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,680
be any reason why should let him get.

578
00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 6: Away with it, naturally, especially since in the profession.

579
00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: You're entering, business is business?

580
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,279
Speaker 1: Sure, supposing I'd been poor and he'd taken advantage of me,

581
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,920
how would I have I.

582
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: Mean, how would you have felt?

583
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: Who would have been the dirty trick? Sort of? And Henry,

584
00:26:29,559 --> 00:26:32,000
did I tell you about Agnes selling your beach umbrella

585
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,799
to who? To a junk man? She got two dollars

586
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:36,119
for it. He's gonna put it.

587
00:26:36,079 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 4: On his wagon.

588
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: Oh do you think.

589
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:44,039
Speaker 1: It's actually possible that I'm not cut out for business? Harry, Henry,

590
00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:45,319
what do you think there was?

591
00:26:45,519 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 4: Mister Davis from.

592
00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 9: The meat knockt just went out to look at your page, and.

593
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: Henry, she's a mother.

594
00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:54,039
Speaker 7: She's a mother's a little pain.

595
00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:56,279
Speaker 9: If you want them off your hands, he'll give you

596
00:26:56,319 --> 00:26:58,200
twenty dollars for the whole business.

597
00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: Twenty dollars. Twenty dollars. I'll break exactly even. Father, didn't

598
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,880
I tell you my investment would come out all right?

599
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: In this national election year, one obligation of citizenship heads

all the rest. The obligation of every qualified voter to

601
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,480
go to the polls and vote. The ballot you will

602
00:27:28,519 --> 00:27:31,799
receive this year is a symbol of your personal dignity.

603
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:35,119
There is no man whose ballot is more important than yours,

604
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,359
no man whose ballot will count for more.

605
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,279
Speaker 3: On election day, you will have.

606
00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: As much power, as much responsibility in the shaping of

607
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,400
your country and your way of life as the most

608
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,519
influential person.

609
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:49,039
Speaker 3: Don't ignore this priceless possession.

610
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: Vote as you please, but register and vote. See you

611
00:27:54,519 --> 00:28:00,000
at the polls.

612
00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 3: Henry, I thought you were going to sell you a pig.

613
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: I did, Father. I sold them all.

614
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:13,319
Speaker 3: In one of those bags of feed doing out in

615
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,000
the garage.

616
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,079
Speaker 1: She was, Father, that doesn't feed in those bags.

617
00:28:16,319 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: No, what is it?

618
00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: Isn't it clear? Mother's birthday is only three weeks off.

619
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,440
I've gone back to collecting maynkese jars.

620
