- You can get some rest.
- Don't be silly.
- No, I will.
- I won't hear of it.
It's Saturday. We can go out.
What are you doing in there?
What do you want,
turnips or swedes?
- Turnips or swedes?
- Yes.
Or both, if you like.
Turnips or... swedes.
Turnips or swedes?
Just a minute,
I'll have to think about that.
What's her name?
- Philpot.
- That's ridiculous.
Why does she have to stay with us?
She's got nowhere else to go.
Don't mind, do you?
Anyway, she'll be company for you.
Wives don't usually like me.
I like them - that's the funny thing.
I seem to worry them somehow,
I don't know.
They get so ratty, people's wives.
Funny, but I like them better
than their husbands.
Do you think that's funny?
Perhaps I'm not normaI.
I'm sure I'm normaI, really.
Perhaps it's just I'm abnormaI.
I can't see how I can be, can you?
I mean, I've been told I'm frigid.
I don't see how you can tell.
I mean, honestly,
how can you tell whether you' re...
I shouldn't think you are.
Just a minute.
- Anyway, you don't look it.
- I think you' re marvellous.
I really do. I think
you' re absolutely marvellous.
You' re so capable, all you do,
all the children and everything.
The way you cope.
Of course, Jake is the most fabulous
husband and father.
He's the most fabulous husband and...
- Can I get into the...?
- .. most fabulous husband.
- How many are his?
- Uh... One.
One?
- One is his, the others aren't his?
- No, they' re not.
Still, he's a wonderfuI father
to them all, isn't he?
Why does Philpot
have to stay with us?
- She had to leave her flat.
- Why with us? We've enough people.
- She's looking for another one.
- I've never seen it.
- Who is she?
- A friend of a friend of Daddy's.
Why does she have to sleep
in my bed?
- Why can't I sleep in my bed?
- Why doesn't she go home?
Because she hasn't got a home.
- She smells of fish.
- She smells of onions.
She had a spot on her chin, but
she squeezed it out this morning.
- Ugh!
- She stinks of fish.
No, she doesn't stink. Now stop it.
- What's the difference?
- It's just perfume.
- It's fish!
- I like her.
Dad had to catch her yesterday
when she fainted.
- I bet it was awfuI, the smell.
- Fainted?
Is this how you faint?
Do you faint like this?
For goodness' sake, get up.
You' re covered in mud! Look at it!
Now hurry up. It's turning cold.
I want no more talk about Philpot.
That's the end of it.
It must be wonderfuI to have a man
working in the house, mustn't it?
Working at home.
Oh, you shouldn't have
brought me tea, really!
I should get up.
I mustn't have tea in bed, really.
It's bad for me.
But honestly, it must be challenging,
