Oh, hello, Morton.

You remember my sister Ernestine.

Oh, yes. Hello. Ann, how about going in

for a swim? The water's keen.

- I don't think so.

- Come on. I'll race you to the pier.

I don't feel like it, but if it's

a race you want, Ernestine--

Hi, everybody.! Who wants

to race me out to the pier?

- I do!

- Well, come on, then.

Say, you're not the only one

who got mature this year.

Oh, Martha's just an infant.

She doesn't look like

an infant in that.

Well, thanks for turning

Morton over to me.

Believe me, Ernestine,

you haven't lost a thing.

I know. How can you

lose something you never had?

Fight, fight, fight, fight

Fight on for Sagiwan

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

Fight on for Sagiwan

Fight, fight, fight, fight

- Hi. Is this the Gilbreth house?

- Yes, it is.

- Thanks.

- You're new around here, aren't you?

Yep. First day on the island,

first day on the job. Al Lynch is the name.

- I'm Ernestine Gilbreth.

- ''Meased'' to ''pleet'' ya.

[ Chuckles ]

Is that ''S'' for Syracuse?

No. Sagiwan Agricultural

and Technical.

- I got that for football.

- Isn't that marvelous.

Tom, I'd like for you to meet Mr. Lynch,

our new deliveryman.

- Hi.

- Ah, Mr. Lynch.

I'm very pleased

to make your acquaintance.

And now, would you mind bringing

the groceries in, or do you need some help?

Help? Me?

I only took this job

to keep my muscles in trim.

All the football players do.

You know, Red Grange

is delivering ice this summer.

- Here?

- No, no, someplace else.

But I take a great interest in him.

We both play the same position.

- Oh?

- Isn't that interesting.

- What fraternity is that?

- Tau Tau Tau.

You're looking at the head

of the house. Well, so long.

So long.

I'll be seizing ya.

[ Clicks Tongue ]

[ Sighs ]

Dear Mrs. Gilbreth--

It all started in the kitchen.

Saw it with my own two eyes.

I was standing there

with Ernestine...

when this handsome young giant

walked in with the groceries.

- Oh, Tom.

- He had the body of an oak tree...

and the mind of an acorn.

'Twas love at first sight.

'Twas love at first sight.

Beans.

Beans?

Beans, beans, beans.

Howdy-do, children

Howdy doody-do

Sister Martha bought some extra

special groceries for you

- Beans

- [ All ] Beans?

Beans!

[ Ann ]

Beans for our breakfast

[ Frank ]

And beans for our lunch

[ Martha ]

Beans for suppertime

[ All ] Boiled beans, soup beans

stewed beans, baked beans

Beans rain or shine

[ Tom ] Martha never has ham

chicken or lamb

Strange as it seems

[ Ann ]

Whom we admire

[ Girls ] But who doesn't tire of

eating beans, beans, beans

[ Martha ]

Oh, I never tire of eating beans

Beans, beans

- Tau Tau Tau.
