Yes, dear?

Will you get

your Master's degree soon?

Pretty soon, dear.

When I finish my thesis.

What are you studying right now?

- American history, dear.

Is that the story of this country?

Just like the story of a person?

Exactly.

You must have a wonderful brain!

Rose, darling, you work too hard.

Sit down and have a nice refreshment.

After all you and him has been doing

for me, working hard is nothing.

Mrs. Hillyer?

- Yes?

Is it true you were a orphan?

Yes.

After the age of seven, I was.

Me, too.

Daddy sure is dumb.

Mother didn't notice, either.

You'd think she wouldnotice.

- She is ignorant about such things.

Besides,

her maternal feelings are aroused.

Maternal feelings run deep.

Yeah.

Rose is in terrible shape.

- Yeah, she is.

Shut up, Wawa. You don't even

know what we're talking about.

I do, too.

Rose is madly in love with Daddy.

He loves me. He loves me not.

You don't eats greens?

Alright.

Here, Rose.

T ake my napkin, darlin'. It's OK.

Are you alright? Are you ill?

No, ma'am, I'm just fine.

I just spilt the beans.

I have to present my magazine

at the garden club tonight.

I'll drive you. You have no business

at the wheel of an automobile.

Why not? If you're not thinking,

you'll run into a telephone pole.

Darling, I think about what I'm doing,

all the time.

And I have as much right to be

at the wheel of a car as anybody.

Besides, I want you

to help Rose with the dishes.

She isn't feeling well.

- The dishes, darling?

Yes.

You can help, even though

it's not a man-type thing to do.

Man-type things, women-type things.

The creative force behind the universe

doesn't care about such things.

So you can help with the dishes?

Certainly, darling. Delighted.

Thank you, darling.

Come on.

I'll be damned.

It says the moon is 238,000 miles

from the Earth. How about that?

Mister Moon.

It says that it's a solid rock body,

two thousand miles in diameter.

That's fascinating.

I think she's going to kiss him.

- At least.

Oh, God, Mr. Hillyer!

I love you! I tried!

But I can't help it. Kiss me!

Rose, Rose, Rose!

Get off my lap.

Buddy, stop it. I can't see!

I can't help it. - Calm down.

The children will hear you.

No, no. Let's talk about this thing.

Please.

- No, let's calm down and discuss it.

Please. Don't make me get up.

What are they doing?

- Discussing it.

I can't kiss you.

I only kiss Mrs. Hillyer.

But I love you.

- You don't love me. - I do.

Just kiss me once. - If I did,

you wouldn't ask anymore?

Just once.

- On the lips or mouth? - Mouth.

I only kiss Mrs. Hillyer on the mouth.

They're kissing.

What's happening now?

Rose's titty is out.

His hand is on it.

Enough of this damn nonsense.

Calder Willingham

Calder Baynard Willingham, Jr. (December 23, 1922 – February 19, 1995) was an American novelist and screenwriter. Before the age of thirty, after just three novels and a collection of short stories, The New Yorker was already describing Willingham as having “fathered modern black comedy,” his signature a dry, straight-faced humor, made funnier by its concealed comic intent. His work matured over six more novels, including Eternal Fire (1963), which Newsweek said “deserves a place among the dozen or so novels that must be mentioned if one is to speak of greatness in American fiction.” He had a significant career in cinema, too, with screenplay credits that include Paths of Glory (1957), The Graduate (1967) and Little Big Man (1970). more…
