"They're young."
For your information, we're still|on the green side of 25 ourselves...
for all the good|it does us.
is like a five-year-old kid.
You know what we were doing in there?|Having a pillow fight.
I hit him so hard, I knocked|the wind smack out of him.
- Hello, Agnes sweetie.|- Hello, Eula.
on this hot day.
Well, I'm not.|I'm damp and cranky.
I know what you mean. I'm going|straight into a bubble bath myself.
Agnes, you bring a beau by one of these|nights, and we'll cook up a party.
Hey, Eula?
Oh, if I'm not mistaken,|that's my master's voice.
"Bring a beau by."
My phone rang|just one time last week.
Just one time.
And this man with a deep,|beautiful voice says...
"Can I interest you in|the "Encyclopaedia Britannica?"
Let's go upstairs, and I'll give you|a permanent. That'll cheer you up.
Clara, you've given me three permanents|in the last six months.
All my ends are splittin'.
havin'all this time on my hands.
I wanna rush home and fix supper|for some big, handsome man...
and put kids in a bathtub|and broil steak and crank ice cream...
and... think about|what the night's gonna bring.
Why aren't there enough men|to go around?
There's no shortage.|Just of the right kind.
- Ooh, I'm not fussy on that subject.|- Neither am I.
Tell me just one thing. Have you ever,|in your life, been proposed to?
- "I have."|- And you let him go?
No, I didn't let him go.|I watched him get scared off.
Hmm, he came to call on me,|and then he met my father.
Then he didn't come calling|on me anymore.
Speaking of your father, when's|that august personage coming home?
Tomorrow,|and the forecast...
is storm and thunder.
Well, you come on over|to my house for supper.
Alan's been askin'|about you.
He's sick in bed,|bein' fed milk puddin'...
all dreamy with temperature.
Thoroughly enjoying himself.
I'd give something to know what goes on|in my brother's temperature dreams.
I know what goes on|in mine.
Uh, don't swivel around.
There's someone comin'.| Someone young.
It's probably|a sewing machine salesman.
Yes, well, even if it is, don't say no|right off. Let's at least talk.
Morning, ladies.|Fine, warm day, isn't it?
Yes, indeed.|Pretty as a picture.
My, my. You all look like|two butterflies lit out on the grass.
Hello again, Miss Clara.
If it's work you're looking for,|you can see the foreman at the gin.
If it's food, they'll take care of you|'round the back door.
Well, now, you hadn't|hit on it yet, lady.
What I'd like to see now|is the man of the house.
Lucius?
What is it, Miss Clara?
Would you tell Mr. Jody there's a person|waiting to see him, please?
You could have said|"gentleman."
