"A rosy, rosy, rosy of

wow wood. Yeah, man!"

What .. sacrilege!

I can't understand it. This duck is

beginning to show signs of life.

The more I look at it, the more I'm

convinced it looks like Ben Crowley.

Is everything going alright, girls?

Now don't worry.

It's going to be a perfectly wonderful

dinner. Oh, I hope so.

Just leave it, thus. We'll take

care of Mr Crowley's condiments.

Calm down, Thea. You're going to look

as if you really did cook this dinner.

That reminds me. Ann, have

you got your lines straight?

Then let me hear it.

Oh Mr Crowley, I just can't get over it.

Thea cooked the whole dinner. Every inch

of it herself and just look at her ..

She's as fresh and beautiful as if

she'd just stepped out of a bandbox.

Gee, I'm hungry.

That's wonderful.

Well, I think I've finished

setting the table.

Thanks, Dad.

Now the next thing to fix is ..

Oh Dad, your tie.

What's the matter with my tie?

Be a dear and let me fix it, will you.

Oh, go on then.

To think that I have to go through

all this three more times.

[ Doorbell ]

And that is Mr Benjamin Crowley.

He finally got here.

About time. I'm starving.

Now you girls do a little last minute

prepping. I'll answer the door.

Oh no. You'll not go out in that apron.

That might be a good idea.

Let Mr Crowley see how bullied I am.

No. You put your coat on, Dad.

I'll see to the door.

Girls, you tidy up in there and

don't forget the flowers.

Oh, Kay.

Slip this sweater on.

I wore that dress last night.

Alright.

Good evening, Ben.

Good evening, Thea.

May I have your hat?

Oh yes. Thank you.

Well, you have a very lovely home here.

Thanks.

Your coat?

Coat.

Say, you're looking beautiful tonight.

Thank you, Ben.

I hope my watch is right.

I've been driving around the block.

Afraid I'd be here too early.

You're right on time, as usual.

Well, that's my long suit: punctuality.

I believe in hitting appointments ..

Right on the nose!

Yes.

I've been taught not to point, but do

you know the finest father in the world?

I added that for a

little sentimental touch.

How do you do. Glad to meet you, sir.

The pleasure's mine, Mr Crowley.

Thank you.

Would you like a little wine?

Well, I don't care if I do.

We have some very nice

home-made blackberry.

Thank you.

And this is aunt Etta.

Well, well, aunt Etta.

I've heard a great deal about you.

Have you?

What have you heard?

Well .. only the best.

And this is my sister Emma.

How do you do, Emma.

And this is Kay.

How are you, Kay.?

And this is Ann. The baby.

Hello.

I was the baby in our family too.

Would you like to sit down?

Yes, I would.

Your very good health, Mr Crowley.

Drink hearty.
