it will be worth money someday.

Your father must be really nice.

Listen, Aaron,

how are you about birds?

I'm in favour of 'em.

I have a canary at home.

You have a canary? Me too!

How many birds did you say you have?

Well, you know, right now, just the one.

But he'll take a grape from my lips,

and fly to my finger

right when I put it out.

- That's nifty.

- Yeah. Why do you have so many?

I breed them. It's my hobby.

I sell them to Mr Farley

at the shop on Develavere.

You sell them? How much do you get?

- Three dollars a bird.

- Gosh!

Why don't you go into business?

I'll arrange it with Mr Farley.

- Yeah, but I only have Skippy.

- I'll give you a female.

Females aren't worth anything

because they don't sing.

Really? That's all I need?

Well, you need a breeding cage

like this one, but any big cage will do.

Then you need a few odds and ends.

Here, this is put out by the

Mr Finchbird Company. Tells everything.

Here's a pretty sexy-looking dish.

Hey.

Are you sure you can't stay for dinner?

No, ma'am.

My mother's hosting a mah-jong

tournament, and wanted me to be there.

Hosting a tournament in your house?

Well...

...no. You see, we're living in a hotel

until our house is finished being built.

- The tournament is in the ballroom.

- What kind of house?

Just a regular house like this one.

And what does your father do, Aaron?

He flies airplanes.

- Wow!

- My, that's interesting.

So that's how

you know Charles Lindbergh.

Right.

So,

what kind of flying does he do?

Uh...

Well, it's sort of for the government.

And I'm not supposed to discuss it.

- Can't you tell us anything?

- You heard what Aaron said.

It's supposed to be secret.

I'm sure he prefer we didn't

breathe a word of it to anyone.

Isn't that right?

Yes, ma'am.

I know you took it, I seen ya.

Now hand it over!

- I don't have no apples!

- I know you took it!

Give it here! Give it here!

Give it here!

- You ain't got no apple, huh?

- No!

Let me tell you something.

This is my street, my corner.

I know everything.

I catch you kiping apples one more time,

and I'll run your chicken ass in!

Now get out of here! Beat it!

Come on!

- What you got in there?

- A canary.

- Thought you had a canary.

- Yeah, I do. A male one.

This is a female.

I'm gonna breed canaries.

There's big money in canaries.

Uh-huh.

But I don't know

where you get all that vitality.

- Hi.

- Hi, Ella.

- What have you got?

- A canary.

I thought you already had a canary.

I do, but this one's a female.

I'm gonna breed canaries.

We had a canary once.

Canaries are kinda nervous.

Don't you think?

I think I'd rather have a cat.

I'd name her Stephanie.
