Three-Cornered Moon

Look, Jenny. The recipe

for the waffle batter

calls for two

glasses of milk.

Do you understand?

Keep away.

Me for him,

and she`s for me.

Stove, not you.

I don`t mean to interfere,

Jenny, but you must have milk.

Milk.

Do you understand now?

No.

Two... Glass...

Oh, never mind.

Make it boiled eggs.

(DOOR OPENlNG)

ALBERT.. Good morning.

NELLlE:
Good morning, Albert.

Good morning, Mrs. Rimplegar.

That`s a load.

There you are.

$1 1.47.

Are you sure it`s right?

Oh, yes, ma`am.

Let`s see.

Seven and four are 1 1,

and three make 15,

and eight makes, so...

Let`s see,

that`s 15 and eight...

Oh. The children gave it

to me for my birthday,

and If I don`t wear it,

they feel hurt.

It`s beautiful, isn`t it?

(CHUCKLES SHEEPlSHLY)

Oh, those...

Those are feathers, yes.

All right.

$11.47.

Oh, yes, l`ve just got it.

There you are.

Now, let`s see.

And 27 cents.

47!

47? How`s business, Albert?

Awful, ma`am.

It`s the depression,

I suppose.

I hear it`s still going on.

Everyone said it

would end with beer,

so I bought 10 cases,

but it doesn`t seem

to have done much good.

I`m sure if my

husband were still alive

and he still

owned the laundry,

it would still

be doing business.

Well, he was smart

to die when he did.

Oh, yes.

Look, Mrs. Rimplegar,

you gave me $11.17.

You still owe me

30 cents.

Huh? Oh, dear.

Jenny?

Jenny, can you

lend me 30 cents?

Yes, 30 cents.

Go away.

The stove, she`s mine.

(CHUCKLES) Her English

is very poor.

I`ll be right back.

KENNETH:
What do you mean,

you didn`t want to

hurt his feelings?

Kenneth.

But you can hurt

my feelings, can`t you?

Can you lend me 30...

Look here, Kitty.

You pulled this

trick once too often.

I`m through!

Do you hear me, l`m through!

Kenneth, can you lend...

So through that

if I ever wanted

to call you up again,

I`d have to look up

your number in a phone book.

Oh, dear!

Jenny!

Huh?

Jenny!

Huh?

Breakfast.

Huh?

Eat.

Oh.

Could you lend me 30...

Oh, dear!

What`s the matter?

(SlGHS)

What`s it all about?

Going to bed at night,

getting up in the morning.

What for?

It`s that cheese

you ate last night!

You`ve got that green look.

Now you go right back to bed.

I`ll go downstairs and get

you something for it.

Oh, Kenneth! Kenneth!

What is it, Mother?

Okay, Mrs. Rimplegar.

Let it go until next time.

She says she`s still asleep.

Oh, you rat! Give me that.

(CHUCKLES) l`m sorry, Alan.

How are all the

crazy Rimplegars

this morning?

(LAUGHS)

Hey, you know you

have a date with me.

Oh, l`m sorry.

I don`t think I feel quite up

to visiting a clinic today.

way sometimes. Yes.

EDDlE:
Hello.

Well, your little

brother`s back.

Have you been away?

Oh, hey, what does a guy

have to do to get a

rise out of this family,

make a transatlantic flight?

(EXCLAlMlNG) My little boy!

Hello, Mom.

My Eddie! My baby!

(CHUCKLlNG) You`re back

safe and sound!

He`s been gone

two whole days!

Gee, l`m in an awful hurry.

I`ve gotta be up at

college for an 11:00 class.

I didn`t have time

to change last night.

Went driving till morning.

You don`t look

very well, darling.

Why?

What`s wrong with me?

Did you have your

three glasses of milk

while you were away?

I don`t like milk!

How long do you

think you can keep

on going this way?

Running around

without any milk?

You sound as if he were
