Athena Page #6

---

Venus waltzes with Mars.

Hand in hand, we will find,

Love can change the stars.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How are you this morning?

Great! Great day for breathing.

Um! The air is full of oxygen.

- You'll pop your button.

- I'm not that strong.

- Where's Minerva?

- She had to deliver an order.

Well, I'll wait.

All right, then you'll

make yourself useful.

There's a whole case of water chestnuts

in the storeroom just dying to be unpacked.

Slave driver. Keep an on eye

on that, will ya, it's for Minerva.

- Look, white orchid.

- Oh, they're beautiful.

You know, Athena, I could

really go for Johnny.

Well, now, you just better not.

The stars say he's for Minerva,

wait for your own.

I bet he won't have white orchids.

Hello, Girls.

And neither will he.

You're supposed to be with Grandpa, Ed.

What are you doing here?

I just can't keep my mind on my workouts.

Athena, you've been avoiding me lately

and I'm all full of acid and electricity.

Well, you just tell Grandpa

to give you a steam bath.

And stop thinking,

it always upsets you.

If you're not Mr. Universe,

It'll just break Grandpa's heart.

And I know you'll win, 'cause

you're the greatest and the best.

Why do you go around with Adam?

It's the stars, there's

nothing I can do about it.

Your grandmother says the stars

don't even like the way he lives.

I know, I'm going to have

to do something about that.

Why bother, he's a worm.

What kind of children would

you have with a guy like that?

Well, if the stars say

we should get married,

I'm sure they'll take

care of the children, too.

Oh, hi, Minerva.

Hi, Athena.

Johnny brought...

- Ed!

- What?

- You ate Minerva's orchid.

- Orchid?

- I thought it tasted kinda funny.

- I wish you'd go on a diet.

Good morning, good morning.

Great day to be alive.

You're looking mighty pretty,

Miss Seely, mighty pretty.

Where's your hat and coat, Mr. Shaw?

Left them at home,

walked to the office.

There's nothing like a brisk walk first thing

in the morning to get

the blood circulating.

Any calls?

Mr. Tremaine, Mr. Grenville and

Mr. Griswold are waiting in your office.

Fine! Take care of

this for me, will you.

When I go to the Club,

remind me to take it along.

It's my lunch.

Good morning, good morning!

You ought to get out in the sun,

get some color in your cheeks.

Your complexions are

like old, leather wallets.

What are you doing?

Breathing. Nothing like it.

You can't live without breathing, you know.

Well, you might be feeling cheerful,

but we're not.

- We want to talk to you.

- Sounds serious, fire ahead.

- What's wrong, Adam.

- Nothing, never felt better.

Eat like a horse, sleep like a log.

You've been acting

strange, Adam, very strange.

Stop moving the furniture.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was just

trying to get some exercise.

I know a fellow that can lift

a chair 200 times.

- And not even breathe hard.

- Yeah, so could I when I was a kid.

This "kid" I'm talking

about is 78 years old.

I don't believe it, I'd like to see it.

Like to know who he is.

Well, I'd like to know what's

happened between you and Beth.

I'm afraid that's a

very personal question.

Of course it's personal.

Beth is my wife's niece,

naturally they talk...

Let's get to the point,

we want to know who she is,

what she is, how far it's gone...

- None of your business.

- It is our business, Adam.

Get mixed up with the wrong

sort of people, it's bad for the firm.

It could keep you out of Congress.

You've got to be as

clean as a hound's tooth.

One thing I guarantee, Athena is

the cleanest young lady you'll ever meet.

Well, according the

Beth, this young lady

you've taken up with is a

little peculiar... strange.

If you mean, is she just

like anyone else, no, not to me.

To me, she's very special

and very wonderful.

And now I have a great

deal of work to do,

so if you don't mind, I'll

keep my private life private.

I'd like to know what this

girl has that Beth hasn't.

Six sisters.

Good day, Roy.

Oh, Miss Mulvain, nice to see you.

Mr. Shaw isn't home.

I know.

I'd like you to meet my sisters, Roy.

Watakushi wa anata u suki desu,

I love you,

o tomodashi ni narimashou, Roy-san.

let us be friends, Mister Roy.

And I love all of you,

too, let us be friends.

May we go inside?

Oh, the house isn't

quite straightened up yet.

Oh, don't worry about it,

just relax in the sun.

Oh, this room! I can't move,

I can't breathe!

- How do you feel?

- Fine.

Let's get to work!

When I try makin' money,

I never have much luck.

I never earn a dime,

much less a buck.

Are my finances in a mess?

Yes!

But I never felt better,

so I couldn't care less.

I don't ride polo ponies,

or try to fly a plane,

I never order beer,

much less champagne.

But do I need a lotta dough?

No!

'Cause I never felt better,

so I couldn't feel low.

Not low.

No, no!

I'm high.

Hi! I hear a fly.

I never have a worry,

I never have a care

about what I should buy,

or what to wear.

And do I find my future bright?

Right!

'Cause I never felt better,

and I'm doing all right.

When summer's at its hottest,

the rain must keep me cool,

Flat out on a creek, much less a pool.

What do I do when warm is toast?

Most

But I never felt better,

so I simply won't roast.

When winter's at its coldest,

I shiver and I shriek,

I haven't got a coat,

must less a mink.

But does that mean I'm losin' hope?

Nope!

'Cause I never felt better,

tell me why should I mope.

Why mope?

No soap.

Don't cry...

Not I.

Some days I go out shopping,

and buy each thing I see,

and charge it and feel I got 'em free.

So where will I receive my mail?

Jail!

But I never felt better,

so I'm cruisin' full sail.

The thing most people

love to do is worry.

They dearly love

to worry and complain.

So, let me check my list,

and see if I have missed,

A possible source of misery and pain.

A possible source of misery and pain.

How's your appetite?

Tremendous!

How's your energy?

Stupendous!

Are you strong?

So strong I have to watch my step.

How're your eyes?

Bright as a penny.

And your sleep?

I don't need any.

'Cause I'm always on the ball,

and full of pep.

'Cause your heart it must be ticking,

'cause I fell that I've been kicking.

'Cause in your brain...

it's the same

a kind of twist.

How's your love life?

I got plenty! How's your

baby when he's twenty?

I must confess that

I'm depressingly on six.

If I'm to cross the ocean,

I better learn to float,

I can't afford a raft,

must less a boat.

But would I love to see Paris?

Oui!

Still, I never felt better,

so Pomona suits me.

And Heidelberg would thrill me,

I'd buy a dress in chintz,

and roll right out

and land a student prince.

But will I ever cross the Rhine?

Nein!

Still, I never felt better,

so the beach will do fine.

No Rhine.

Nein! That's fine! Nein! Come see

Paris.

I haven't got a worry,
