Holiday Affair Page #2

Since you're stuck with housework,

why didn't you come for dinner?

I've been writing a long, flowery brief.

Oliver Wendell Holmes couldn't touch it.

- Oh, really?

- Hi, Tim.

- Oh, hi.

- Getting ready for Christmas?

- Mm-hm.

- Ah...

We'll go pick out a tree tomorrow.

- Can I really help?

- Wouldn't have it any other way.

We might even sneak in a movie

if I can get out of work soon enough.

Gee, that'd be swell.

Talk Carl into a game of checkers,

I might let him off dishes.

Well, he's a pretty tough guy to beat,

but okay.

I'm sorry, Carl, but I'm kind of tired.

I played hard today.

Think I ought to go to bed, huh, Mom?

All right, darling.

Why don't you listen to a couple

of programs?

Good night, sweetheart. Don't forget

to feed your turtles and brush your teeth.

Do I have to brush

where the lost one came out?

No, brush around where the lost one

came out. Good night.

I wear everybody out

with everything he says.

I might as well warn you right now

that compliments will get you no place.

- I'll do it the dangerous way.

- You'll be sorry.

Whew.

You look like a tired beautiful girl

instead of just a beautiful girl.

It was a rough day, all right.

I think everybody in New York

was out shopping.

What did you buy me?

One of those new English cars.

Here, alley-oop.

I may let you ride on the handlebars.

Show you off to the boys.

But I haven't got a thing to wear. Ha-ha.

- Hey, we're getting good at this.

- Pretty good team.

Why do we limit it to dishwashing?

Marry me and I'll buy you a dishwasher.

A cute little French one with a tight skirt.

What do you say, Connie?

Could you give me

a little more time, Carl?

You've had almost two years.

Well, you know what they say:

"This is so sudden. "

You've got to have someone

to buy loud neckties for.

You told me about them.

Boy, I sure bought Guy some beauts.

- How he must have hated wearing them.

- I'll bet he didn't.

Any more than I would.

Carl, I like you very, very much.

You know that. But I don't feel that I...

Connie, I've gotten a lot of divorces

for a lot of people.

Most took one look at each other

and said, "This is it. "

Married two days later

and split up two years later.

But I've never gotten a divorce

for two people that really liked each other.

But, Carl, there's Timmy.

- Are you sure you're ready?...

- Are you trying to talk me out of this?

I promise you won't have

to ask me again, Carl.

If it's yes, I'll ask you.

Does it feel like yes?

Sort of.

I'll tell you what it does feel like.

Time to do these pots and pans.

And this time you're gonna need this.

There.

You know, I'll never forget

the day you hired me.
