It's nothing unusual You have to do better than that mother now. You get back your drawing board David What was it you wanted mama? I wanted to ask you if you'd like me to prepare the baby's food But they said she'd do it I think I'll do it myself. Would you like me to do it mama for the love of Mike? Will you two women stop whispering speak up whispering so as not to disturb you that disturbs me twice as much I'm breaking my neck trying to hear what you're saying wasn't anything very interesting guys if you weren't so nosy You better go out of the hole.

No, thank you Claudia. I have nothing else to do just now I'll be happy to do it myself that is very sweet of you mama there David That's all we had to say I hate to lock you out of your own living room But it's not my fault that Fritz scraped the floors in my study and that I didn't warn you. I'd be home early Not your fault all David and and don't you worry about us now darling mom and I get along fine without talking Don't don't we mama. I'm not staying around to test myself. I'm going into the kitchen Hey mama come back here. No good Lord grant me patience Claudia make it quick we're disturbing David David wouldn't know what it's like not to be disturbed Well, all I wanted to say was for his best. Well, let's see it. All right. All right. I did I will I mean Will you be so kind as to tell birth and not to come in here under any Circumstances just to call us when dinner's ready. I'll tell her anything else and if the phone rings mama could you answer it? I'll take it in the hall anything else Oh if Fritz comes in to talk today, but David can talk to him after dinner I shall deliver all your messages as fleet as much Oh Everything's arranged so you won't be interrupted Very sweet and very thoughtful of you. Oh, nothing I wouldn't do for any old husband of mine Shuck yourself Oh That was a telephone But don't you worry about it David mama will have to I'm not worrying about it 32 Wonder why mom is not answering it. This is one of those days I can take a hint mama I'll answer Hello, do you want speak? Mr.. Kelsey who is it Claudius for me just a moment day that I Excuse me. Did you say you want to speak to mr.. Kelsey? Well, who's calling, please? Oh Mr.. Adams just a moment David Hello, mr.. Adams. Now. I'm afraid there's no mr.. Kelsey here. You must have the wrong number Bye mr.. Adams Who was it mr.

Adams has a very nice voice what mr.. Adams just mr.. Adams. Oh that mr.. Adams Wonder what mr.. Adams wanted well. I'm surprised you didn't ask him David just because the phone rang and interrupted you is no reason to take it out of the man I have to do No, I can't anything else to interrupt you David. So just fretting Sides I'd be like a watchdog watching over what a comfortable thought Actually, I think if you had an open your mouth ten minutes ago to comment on how quiet it was none of this would have happened You know it's like a chain reaction. What a big word for such a little brain. Maybe now it has unchained itself Yeah, it stopped reacting 32 Where was that? Did that sound like a doorbell to you David? Yes, I think it was definitely the doorbell. Yes, it was so what? David you don't seem to understand I either is the doorbell. That's an interruption, too Not if you'll do me a big favor Anything get rid of the interruption get rid of it by any method or Mean really really yes, I really really mean all right if you say so I just said so Of course if you if you don't even bother to answer the door now, that would be rude I'd rather be just plain inhospitable rude What are you doing locked in your front door in the country missus not well We don't usually mr. Tucker, but ain't very hospitable of you locking your door on a neighboring friend Well, we didn't mean to honestly I didn't even know it was locked gonna be locked in your front door. There ain't much it's gonna walk through it Somebody wants to come in mr. Tucker all they have to do is ring the bell waste a time and energy Somebody really wanted to come in all the body'd have to do is to come in I don't hold with shutting your door on life ma'am paint neighborly You know that you're welcome any time you choose to visit with us then why don't you invite me in well I can stand out here so long on this doorstep. I'm starting to feel like a door mat Your husband told me told me yesterday He was going to be out early and he spoke to do some architecting on this schoolhouse. Well, yes, he's a He's well. What are you stuttering about? Well, you see he either he is or he ain't here now Is he ready? He's here, but he's oh, but he's busy. Hey, well, he's working Well, that ain't nothing to be ashamed about sooner or later. We all got to work Get myself home and he can call me when he's himself again He did ask me to keep him from being interrupted But I love it if you come and talk with me mr. Hey, what are you apologizing? I'm not apologizing Apologizing anything I can't stand is a woman who's always apologized. I I so just tell your husband that That I was here and that I went and that if he's done with the architecting tonight Why we'll talk there. I wish you'd stay. Nope. Nope. I I got some other important things to do, too I'll I'll be seeing you. Well, thanks for coming over.

Didn't you hear me here? No, no, I didn't hear anything I was I was concentrating right here. You really concentrate. Don't you? I said we do When I concentrate I can hear everything that's going on.

Yeah He's the one who rang the doorbell and you turn him away. You told him not to come in Want to you you told me to get rid of whoever. Yes, but not mr. Tucker David you were working He insisted on not mr. Tucker is different. He's our neighbor. We have things to talk about call him back You call him back yourself. I'm not much like what you possibly turn away mr. Tucker Wouldn't I turn away mr. Tucker? If I live to be a million I will never understand about men Besides, I didn't turn him away. He turned himself away Hey, mr. Tucker Come on back first you tell me one thing then you tell me another thing. I don't know what That is the end never again as long as I live will I try and do what he asked me after I went to all the trouble and Blaming me for his weakness Right work work comes first I'd rather talk to you mr. Tucker much rather. Oh nice you to say so son and we have until dinner So fill yourself a pipe at the back and settle yourself down Oh, I thought you really meant it when you said you wanted to work I yeah, I was just aiming to talk to you about the Clover seed. I latched on you through Matthew Warren Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that too. It seems to me that we need to seed one of the lower matters Yeah, now I'll tell you story about that Oh Mama hey mama, can you come on here a second? Would you? You'll disturb David. Oh Look at David for yourself. I'm well Looks to me as if Jared Tucker and your hard-working husband have settled down for a long afternoon of chinning Honestly, doesn't that burn you up? No more than one should expect of a man Interruption by a wife is one thing by anything else. It's quite another When I a dope to believe him you were indeed He has a wonderful laugh though hasn't he mama who mr. Tucker no Waiting for seats at the movies isn't nearly such a bore as it used to be Now that so many movie houses have co-coolers in the lobby You can step up drop a nickel in get a nice cold coca-cola and wait refreshed And you can stop for a coke and enjoy the pause that refreshes on the way out To how long do you think it'll be mr. King before claudia finds out that husbands are only men She's finding out I'd say a little every day. It's hard to believe they're married only a little over a year Still harder to believe it's that long already. I know what you mean Time is a way of going fast and then Going slow Christmas again. What does it mean to you? Christmas by Snow and decorations and carols and christmas presents to be unwrapped and prayers And mistletoe mistletoe. Oh, yeah, that reminds me I'd quite forgotten to get the mistletoe. I was quite all right. Don't get it because uh Tomorrow claudia and david will find it. Well, thanks for warning me Goodbye Joe.
