Life Begins at Forty Page #3

Oh, no, no, no.

I was, uh...

just talkin' about that speech you made

up at the state bankers' convention.

- Uh-huh.

- Great stuff. You can't, uh-

You can't go wrong defendin'

the American Constitution.

We've got to get back

to first principles, Mr. Clark.

Well, that's great- great stuff.

Hop on the bandwagon

with the founding fathers.

Yeah.

I, uh-

I brought you over

a small item for the press.

I thought perhaps the community

might be interested-

In knowing that you

had offered yourself for reelection...

as head of our school board.

- Yes, that's right.

- Well, what about the annual outing?

There's nothing that the voters

like better than a free meal.

Well, uh, I'm arranging that.

However, this time...

I'm goin' to encourage one

of our leading industries- hog raising.

In other words,

I propose a hog show...

to select the winner

for the county fair.

- Oh, hogs, huh? Mmm.

- Mm-hmm.

Sure, I'll see that hogs

gets on the front page.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. -

- Yes, well, good day, Mr. Clark. Good day.

- Good day.

- Here are the subscriptions.

- What's all this mess you got here?

Well, the lady said

you'd have to take these...

on account of they haven't

got any change in the house.

You can't take these down to the bank

and pay off that mortgage.

Hey! Catch 'em!

Don't let 'em get away!

Hey, where's the other one?

Where'd he go?

- He was headin' over here.

- Chick, chick! Chick, chick, chick!

Chick, chick! Chickie!

Chick, chick! Chick, chick!

Hello.

Is that you, Lee Austin?

Come out of there.

What are you fixin' to do,

get yourself in some more trouble?

- You oughta know what I'm gonna do.

- Well, here.

- Forget it, whatever it was.

- But l-

Now, listen. You come on home with me

and get somethin' to eat.

Let's talk this thing over.

Come on.

Son, if you wanna make

good batter cakes...

you got to have

your batter just right.

You must always stir

from left to right.

That's what makes it just as light

as a feather on a baby goose.

Now, if you stir from right to left,

that's where those heavy babies come from.

Then you-

Then you toss 'em just so.

Not too much. Just-Just flip, easy-like,

and meet 'em comin' down.

Don't ever meet 'em goin' up.

That's what spoils their disposition, see?

Now, that's what you call technique.

Yes, sir. There's mighty few men

and no women at all can do that.

Here. Now, get yourself

some butter on those...

and, uh, then just smother 'em...

till they practically drown

in that good molasses.

And the deliciousness

will just ooze out of'em.

And from then on,

they'll do their own advertisin'.

Drink coffee?

You don't understand

about tonight.
