The Egg and I Page #3

Let's schedule the first one

for, uh, a year from today.

- How's that?

- That looks like a good day for it.

## Betty?

Betty?

Hmm?

Hey, Betty?

Wake up. Didn't you

hear the alarm clock?

You gonna lie there in bed forever?

Come on, get out.

- I've got breakfast almost ready.

- Hmm?

It's still night out.

What do you mean "night"?

It's 4:
30. Half the morning's gone.

I let you loll in bed

because it's the first day...

but from now on you've got to be

up every morning at 4:00 sharp.

- Hey, Betty?

- Hmm?

Come on, get out of there!

Got a lot of work to do.

Betty!

Bob!

How are those nails,

Betty?

- Oh! Bob!

- Yeah?

Hey, Betty?

Hey, Betty,

what are you doing down there?

Oh!

Just dropped in

to say howdy.

- Howdy.

- Howdy.

Ma told me to come by and ask you

over for a visit when you got time.

We're your neighbours

just down the road a spell.

Kettle's the name.

Folks call me Pa.

- I'm glad to know ya, Pa.

- Likewise.

- Hello!

- Hi.

This is my husband.

Meet Pa Kettle, Bob.

- Just dropped in to say howdy.

- Well, uh, howdy.

Howdy. Thought I'd tell ya

long as we're neighbours...

you can count on us for

anything you might be needin'.

Just step in and ask for it.

Be glad to lend a helpin' hand.

Thanks, Mr Kettle.

That's very nice of you.

- Building somethin'?

- Yes, we're putting up a new chicken coop.

Wouldn't mind having

a few of them two-by-fours.

Been fixin' my barn. Ain't

had no time to get to town.

- Go ahead. Help yourself.

- That's real neighbourly of you.

Won't be needin'

more than two... or so.

- Give me a holt here, will ya?

- You bet.

Oh, uh, two more...

just in case.

Oh, uh, better have

another one for good measure.

- Sure you got enough?

- Well, maybe one more for the house.

- Huh?

- I'll take 'em.

I'm gonna need a couple of pounds of nails.

Ain't got none to fit a two-by-four.

I guess I can let you

have a couple of pounds.

And an extra hammer and a saw. Kids

been usin' my saw and ruined the edge.

- Couldn't cut butter with it now.

- I'll give you a hammer and saw.

- I have to have them back.

- Send it back as soon as I'm through.

Come around the barn.

I'll see what I can dig up.

Say, you'll have to paint the place,

won't ya?

- Have you got any paint?

- Come to think of it, I ain't.

- Got any red you could spare?

- No, we've only got green.

Green will do.

I ain't particular.

Gee-up, there.

There! I'll bet you've never looked as good

as this in your whole life.

Oh! Oh, you!

Indians! Bob!

Bob! Bob!

Indians!

- What are you talking about?

- There, by the porch!

- That's Geoduck and Crowbar.

- Who?

- Geoduck and Crowbar. They sell fish.
