Put it down here.

Hey, how do you

work this gadget?

You focus through here, and then

you push this little button.

Just get it from the waist up, and

be sure and get the cake in. Okay.

No, no. Further back. Yeah.

Wait a minute.

I'm gonna count.

One. Two. Three.

- I got it. - Oh. Look, look!

The thing-

Don't worry. I'll get it.

Look out now!

Scat!

Hey!

The camera! Oh.

Get the-

Take him out of here!

Oh! Look what you've

done now!

Anyway, we got the picture.

I hope so.

But what we got ain't nothing to what we're

gonna get when Walter sees his camera.

Hey, Letty.

What was that crash?

Meryl just took my picture...

for the cooking contest.

I'm entering the recipe for my

yum yum special. Oh!

Well, I guess the film's all right.

Take it down to the drugstore and wait.

Then send it off, 'cause

it's the last day. Okay.

Wait a minute. Here's the whole

works:
address and everything.

Here. Now go on.

Now, hurry. Hurry, Meryl!

You goin' fishin' again,

Dad?

Yeah. Got a new rod. Well,

what are you lookin' for?

I lost my worms. Wor- Oh, I left

them on the hall table in a tin.

Fresh?

I dug them this morning.

The last ones had no wiggle.

I like them fresh.

I forgot something else too.

Lunch.

Yeah. How about a nice

long, cool beer with it?

Well. Well. You go put your

feet up, and I'll get a tray.

Letty, dear, you're a solace

to my graying hairs.

Both of them.

Oh!

Oh, oh.

Little Boy Blue means Walter.

She said to hurry. I gotta mail it.

Yours is comin' up.

Just about... now.

I'll just put

this one in.

Yeah, I'm right.

Here it comes.

Well! it looks like

a good one. I-

Hey! I thought you said this

was a picture of Letty!

She's hopin' to win

a prize.

It's really a picture

of her yum yums.

I'll say it is. Oh, my.

Dear mask, please make me

beautiful for Walter's sake.

Amen.

Hi, luscious!

Hello,Jim.

Well,your number-one man has returned.

Really? Bring him in!

All right. Hey, wait a minute. I am in!

How about a welcome?

Boy, right on the nose. Do I

need practice! Now, look.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Go away!

Well, where's Walter?

Hey, that's gratitude.

Me at sea for months.

Not sleeping, thinking of you, breaking

my neck to get here. For what?

Where's Walter? That's for what.

Come here.

Now, listen. I've gotta talk fast because what

I have to say is important to both of us.

Walter's coming here, and he's

going to ask you to marry him.

And you're gonna tell him no.

I'll tell him no such thing.

Oh, yes, you will! Three months

with Walter, and you'd blow up.

I won't listen to another word.

Oh, now, don't get me wrong.

Walter's a great guy, has ambition.

Be an admiral someday.

Ha-ha. But if you marry
