Yours, Mine and Ours Page #5

If this be treason,

make the most of it.

- But are you gonna tell her?

- Yes, I'm going to tell her.

You're gonna be a knockout

tonight, Mom.

- Yeah, Mom, you're beautiful.

- Thank you, darling.

Good heavens,

what did you do to this dress?

Mother,

it was practically an antique.

We just shortened it a little.

- A little? I look like a teenybopper.

- Well, what's wrong with that?

- I can't go out in this.

- Why not?

Your legs are better than mine.

It'll be okay as soon as we shorten

the slip. Give me those pins.

Oh, heavens. Jean, run downstairs...

...and tell Tommy to whistle

the minute he sees Mr. Beardsley.

- But I wanna watch.

- Please, Jean.

- The minute he sees Mr. Beardsley.

- Will you stand still?

You'll get this pin stuck in you.

I'm put together with pins and glue.

If there's a strong wind,

I'm in trouble.

- There he is. Hurry up. Hurry up.

- He's coming!

- Look at him.

- Wow, look at that car!

- He's in the Navy.

- Look at that jacket.

Look at those stripes.

He's got flowers for Mom.

- Yeah, blue eyes.

- Boy, I bet you that guy's rich.

- All right.

- No!

- Pass it on.

- The door.

Get away from the door.

Get away from that door. Get away.

Get back. Get back.

- Hello there.

- Hello.

Well, we better hurry. I know

how you like to get places on time.

- I do?

- Yeah. Where are we going?

San Francisco. Little place...

I brought you flowers.

Thank you.

Why, they're beautiful.

Shouldn't you put them in the house,

in water?

Of course.

I don't know what I was thinking.

They're my favourite.

Beautiful night, isn't it?

I had a wonderful time at dinner.

I didn't know whether it was the food

or Frank...

...or the fact that I didn't have

to do the dishes.

I couldn't stop talking. I told her

about Frances, the Navy...

...about the new carrier

landing system I was working on.

I told her about everything

but the children.

Funny how that never came up.

I guess I figured it would be easier

over an Irish coffee.

While Frank was getting the drinks...

...I was trying to figure out the most

graceful way to break it to him.

By the way, I have eight children.

Speaking of eight children,

that's what I have.

Have I mentioned

that I have eight children?

I have eight children.

Well, don't look at me. I just got here.

Excuse me, please.

Pardon me.

That's all right.

- That's why I come in this place.

- What's your excuse?

Pardon me, sir.

- I'm sorry, I...

- That's all right.

- That's why I come to this place.

- What?
