the heart is a rebel
and cannot be trusted
it always is seeking
its own will to do
it has no allegiance
so desperate and wicked
the heart is a rebel,
it's true
its love is brief
as springtime
quickly growing old
its hate is like
the winter
desolate and cold
but someday the rebel
will bow and surrender
then God's love will
make his heart new
I sing because
I'm happy
and I sing because
I'm free
for his eye is on
the sparrow
and I know he watches me
[Humming]
[Disappointed]
Oh, glady, is it time to eat already?
Sure is!
And we got a real,
real good supper tonight!
I'm not hungry, yet!
But sugar,
you got to eat just the same.
Davy foster,
you know what
doc chambers said.
He said,
"feed that boy carrots!"
And that's what
I'm about to do,
and you're about
to eat them!
They'll make me get sicker!
That is pure foolishness,
and you know it!
All day long I wear myself
down to a frazzle,
fetchin' you this and
bringing you that...
Like you was a prince
or something.
Then when I ask you
to do a measly
little ol' thing
like eatin' your carrots,
Okay.
That's better.
Hi, son.
Hi, dad!
How do you feel
tonight?
Oh, I'm okay...
But these carrots
are awful!
Aw...They can't be that bad,
can they?
Evenin', Mr. hal.
Hello, Gladys,
how'd it go today?
Oh, fine, just fine,
me and Davy
always get along fine.
Better'n anybody.
Oh, Mr. hal,
miss Joan called.
Said she'd be about
a half hour late.
Something about a rush order
at the store.
She also said she'd stop by
the delicatessen on her way home
for you not to worry
about dinner.
Thanks, Gladys.
Guess I better be
hurrying myself,
or I'll be late.
in a big choir
dad.
There was a picture of it
in the papers!
That's right, sugar.
And believe me,
when that many folks
get to singing praise
to our blessed savior,
that old Madison square garden.
Well, good night, baby.
See you in the morning.
'Bye, glady.
'Night, Mr. hal.
'Night, Gladys.
Gladys give you this, son?
Uh-huh, there's some swell
stories in it.
They're all from the Bible.
Oh, I can't eat any more.
I'm too full.
Hey, wait a minute, son.
Sometimes I wonder
who's team you're playing on.
I'm on your team, dad.
Remember when we decided
we'd all work together,
lick this heart thing?
Doc chambers said your job
was to eat everything
get lots of rest.
But if you don't
hold up your end,
the rest of us
might as well quit, too!
I'll try, dad,
honest I will.
Okay...
See that you do.
Is glady on our team, too, dad?
Why...Sure she is.
That's good.
(Joan)
Hi, everybody!
Guess who?
Sorry I'm late,
darling.
Hi, honey.
Hi, mom.
Hi, Davy!
How's my boy tonight?
Fine!
What's that, mom?
The latest thing.
It's a rocket
to the moon!
try putting it together.
Thanks, mom!
Just don't try to do it
all in one day!
Supper'll only take
a few minutes, dear.
No hurry.
Hey, slow up there, pal.
Here, lemme give you a hand.
[Dish breaks]
You buy the noisiest
dishes.
Tomorrow night...
Paper plates!
That's sort of
an eloquent symbol
of the foster economy,
isn't it?
Bits and pieces...
Insurance bills,
doctor bills, rent, food...
Which reminds me,
we're two weeks behind
with Gladys.
She mention it?
Oh, no,
she won't, either.
It's just that I'd hoped
Davy sure has taken to her.
But it's not right, Joan!
You're his mother.
everyday things with him.
Sometimes I feel as though
we're just his friends.
That Gladys is
the only family he's got.
Oh, that's ridiculous, hal.
Davy knows how much
we love him.
I'm just grateful
that we found Gladys.
Without her to,
oh, I don't even like
Still, you shouldn't
have to work.
Darling, why not?
Hundreds of thousands of women
work every day of their lives.
And furthermore,
I don't relish Gladys
filling Davy's head with a lot
of this religious mumbo jumbo.
What are you talking about?
Well, right now,
she's got him engrossed
I'd just rather
not have him exposed
to that sort of thing.
into kind of a dream world.
And all this
"old time religion" business,
that could warp him mentally.
I know how damaging
it is to your ego
to have a wife that works,
oh, but this is too much.
I read Bible stories
as a child.
Why, I even got a gold pin
for not missing a week
in Sunday school.
Do you think that
warped me mentally?
Okay...
Oh, hal, do you realize
we drag along day by day
without any real emotion
except worry?
We just can't go on
being scared all the time!
Forget I sounded off,
will ya?
at the agency.
Greg Johnson's going to
move upstairs,
and if it's true,
Pratt and noble will need
a new copy director.
(Greg)
It's a whole new line of prepared food mixes,
ready cake mix,
biscuit mix,
muffins, rolls,
frostings--the works.
Package design has
eye appeal.
They've got to
to meet the competition
We've got to come up
with more than that, hal.
We've got to find a gimmick.
Something that will tie
