there either.

Well, it's not that

I have any objection

to working in New York.

It's just that

it'd be hard

for my patients

to come from

Indianapolis

for treatment.

LUCY:
You know, dear,

I'm always saying the

wrong thing. I'm sorry.

JO:
Oh, not in the least.

LUCY:
Tell me,

Dr. McKenna,

do you also go...

Hey, why don't

all of you sort of turn

around here or something.

It's kind of kind

of hard on the neck.

(LUCY LAUGHING)

EDWARD:
It's in one of

our English counties.

It's not what

you'd call a farm.

It's really more

of a small holding.

Ah, here we are.

Isn't that

fascinating?

Yes.

There we are.

Hey, they look good.

Surprise.

They look wonderful.

Ah, looks like bread.

We're not going

to eat all that,

are we?

No.

(ALL LAUGH)

Is that the way

you do it?

Just break it?

Yes, just break it.

Just break it.

Just like this.

It won't break.

Oh, no.

Well, I'm gonna...

There.

Is that the way

you do it?

(LAUGHING)

That's quite

all right.

That was

a tough one.

Does it chew

any better

than it tears?

(LAUGHING)

Is it fattening?

I imagine

it might be.

No, it's pretty

good, hon.

Well, I...

No plate.

No?

No.

No knife or forks.

That's right.

I understand you're

just supposed to dig in.

Allow me to show you,

will you?

You use only the

first two fingers and

thumb of the right hand.

You don't use the

other two fingers,

and always the left

hand in the lap.

Oh, I see.

May I show you?

Just these two

fingers, huh?

Can I help you?

I'll hold it for you.

That's it.

There we are.

(GIGGLING)

Well...

Boy, could I use this

hand now. I can't...

(ALL LAUGHING)

It's all right.

Nobody minds.

No one minds.

That's good style.

No one minds.

It's messy,

but worth it.

I think

I'll practice

on an olive.

Oh!

Honey, it's wonderful.

Here. Take a bite.

Good?

Yeah.

Tell me, does this

way of eating

have to do with

religion or something?

I think

it's more social

than religious.

I don't know.

It seems like to me

if you have four good

fingers and a thumb,

you ought to be able

to use all of them.

It's very good,

isn't it?

Very good.

Well, as I was saying,

I was quite happy

farming my bit of land

down in Buckinghamshire

when these

United Nations fellows

started worrying me.

Edward was a big noise

in the Ministry of Food

during the war,

you know.

So we pulled

ourselves up

by the roots,

and here we are,

United Nations Relief.

Sounds like

interesting work.

I'm preparing

a report on soil

erosion at the moment.

You know,

parts of this country

are not unlike your

Dust Bowl formation.

A thin layer

of topsoil and

underneath...

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

How do you like that?
