Meet Me in St. Louis Page #4

IT'S 5:
25, NOT 6:25.

WE'RE PLANNING ON EATING

AN HOUR EARLIER TONIGHT.

THE PLANS:

HAVE BEEN CHANGED.

I'M TAKING A BATH.

DINNER'S EARLY

FOR KATIE'S SAKE.

FAMILY TROUBLE.

SHE'S GOING THERE

ONCE WE FINISH.

HER SISTER'S FIGHTING

WITH HER HUSBAND.

I SUPPOSE:

THEY'LL STOP

FIGHTING:

IF I DON'T

TAKE A BATH.

KATIE NEVER:

ASKS FAVORS.

WE CAN'T RISK

LOSING HER.

NOWADAYS YOU:

CAN'T GET A MAID

FOR UNDER:

$12 A MONTH.

LON, COUNT THREE.

1, 2, 3.

I DON'T CARE

IF WE HAVE TO:

PAY $15 A MONTH.

DINNER:

WILL BE AT 6:
30.

IF KATIE:

WANTS TO RESIGN,

SHE CAN REACH ME

IN THE BATHTUB!

[CLOCK CHIMES]

IT'S WAY AFTER 6:30,

AND WARREN:

HASN'T CALLED YET.

MAYBE HE GOT:

ANOTHER GIRL.

QUIET, YOU TWO.

MOM, I'M NOT

AT ALL SENSITIVE

ABOUT WARREN:

SHEFFIELD.

THE QUEEN:

HAS SPOKEN.

I SUPPOSE WARREN'S

TOO YOUNG, TOO,

LIKE EVERY FELLOW

I INTRODUCE HER TO.

YOUR FATHER:

WILL BE DOWN SOON.

IF WE EAT QUICKLY,

WE MAY:

GET HIM OUT OF HERE

BEFORE WARREN CALLS.

WARREN'S 21.

THAT'S PERFECT.

PRACTICALLY:

A CHILD.

YOUR FATHER:

WAS 20 WHEN

WE WERE MARRIED.

WE GAVE HIM A BACHELOR

DINNER THE NIGHT BEFORE.

HE ALMOST MISSED

THE WEDDING.

[DOOR SLAMS]

THE LORD:

AND MASTER.

[CLATTERING

DOWN THE STAIRS]

NOW I REMEMBER:

WHERE I LEFT:

MY OTHER SKATE.

I HOPE I HAVEN'T

HELD YOU UP.

I WAS JUST TAKING

A LITTLE RIDE:

BEFORE DINNER.

HELLO, PAPA. I BURIED

MAUDE ROCKEFELLER TODAY.

YOU MISSED:

ALL THE FUN.

I WOULDN'T

SAY THAT.

I'VE HAD

A PRETTY FULL DAY.

TOOTIE, REMIND ME

TO SPANK YOU:

AFTER DINNER.

O.K., PAPA.

LORD, WE THANK YOU

FOR THE BOUNTIFUL

BLESSINGS WE ARE

ABOUT TO RECEIVE.

AMEN.

IF I FORGET:

TO REMIND PAPA,

YOU REMIND ME.

ALL RIGHT.

KATIE,

THIS IS DELICIOUS.

WELL, I GUESS

THIS HASN'T BEEN

A RED-LETTER DAY

FOR ANY OF US.

NOW SUPPOSE:

WE ALL RELAX:

AND ENJOY A NICE,

LEISURELY MEAL.

KATIE, I'M SORRY

I COULDN'T EAT

AN HOUR EARLY.

DON'T BLAME ME

IF THE CORNED:

BEEF'S TOUGH.

YOU FINISHED:

ALREADY, TOOTIE?

THAT'S THE WAY

TO EAT.

YOU'LL BE

A BIG GIRL IF YOU--

EITHER I'VE

LOST SOME SOUP,

OR I'VE

FOUND A SPOON.

OH, KATIE.

DID YOU HAVE:

A NICE DAY?

OH, YOU DIDN'T.

OH, KATIE.

ROSE, THEY'RE HAVING

A FASHION PAVILION

AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

I CAN'T

WAIT SIX MONTHS:

FOR THE OPENING.

I'LL DIE.

I'LL SIMPLY DIE.

ANYBODY WANT:

DESSERT?

DESSERT? WHAT

HAPPENED TO DINNER?

I DIDN'T THINK

ANYBODY COULD:

EAT MEAT:

ON SUCH:

A HOT DAY.

I'M NOT HOT.

I HAD A COOL BATH.

I HAVE:

EVERY INTENTION:
