Now you have to stuff him with

grapes and give him the colic!

Come on, darling.

I'll give you some ipecac.

Nettie! Hurry up, now!

All right, I'll hurry.

Don't forget the ipecac.

I thought you said

syrup of squills.

I can't hear you.

Talk louder.

I thought you said

syrup of squills!

All right, syrup of

squills. I don't care.

I don't care either. I'll

get ipecac if you want me to.

Well, ipecac or syrup of

squills. I don't care which.

I don't care either. Tell me

what to get and I'll get it.

Get whichever you want. I don't

care. Whatever they have handy.

It's just the same to me.

Well, it's just the same

to me too. I hate 'em both.

Where will I go?

ToJones's?

- Use your own judgment.

- No, you tell me where to go.

I'd like to tell ya both

where to go.

There's no use, dear.

I can't hear a word you're saying.

Somebody's shouting

on the floor below.

Yeah, it was me.

You better run along.

Good-bye! Hurry up!

Who were those women

you were talking to?

Mrs. Dunk upstairs.

Seems to me you're getting pretty

familiar with Mrs. Dunk upstairs.

They were talking to me.

I wasn't talking to them.

Peep, peep!

Peep, peep!

Take that, you rat.

Good morning,

Mrs. Frobisher.

Oh, good morning,

Mr. Bissonette.

Strawberries

Two boxes, a quarter!

Quarter! Strawberries!

Cabbage! Good morning! Got

Vegetable man!

Vegetable gentleman?

There. Take that.

Norman!

Coming! Coming! Coming!

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Oh, John, what are we gonna

do? Gosh, I don't know.

Your mother says I'm a crook,

and your father thinks

I tried to double-cross him.

I'll probably never see you

again! Oh, yes, you will.

I'll be way out in California.

How can I?

Listen, I'm going out there too, the first

money I get saved, if it's only bus fare.

You'll forget all about me.

No, I won't, honey.

Mildred!

Oh, John!

Good-bye, honey.

Mildred!

Good-bye, everybody.

Good-bye. What's your

first stop, Amelia?

Won't stop till we get

500 miles from here.

Oh, dear. Drop me a postcard. Good-bye!

What happened?

Got a flat tire?

Flat tire?

Good-bye, Mr. Muckle.

Good-bye. Good-bye!

- No, I'm over here. - Say good-bye

to poor Mrs. Bissonette, darling.

Say bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

What's the matter?

Out of gas?

Uh, no, sir.

Just had it filled up last night.

Where you goin'?

California.

More power to you.

Yeah.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

That's the fella

wanted those kumquats.

I wouldn't ride across the country

with that man for a million dollars.

You're right.

Why don't...

Give me that.

Sit down there!

Good-bye!

Good-bye.

Get back in the car! The

starter works! I was gonna...

Hey, Pop, look!

I see it.

Watch out for that car!

That's all right, dear. I know

what I'm doing. Hold on to your hat.

Watch me pass

this mud turtle.

Harold, what are you trying

to do? Get back on the road!

Okay. You win.

Ah, that must've been

a plowed field. Oh!

# Oh, the moonlight's

fair tonight #

# Along the Wabash #

Harold!

Are you drinking? No, I'm

not, dear. I was thinking.

Norman!

Go in, go to bed.

You too, Mildred.

Get your things.

We have to be up

early in the morning.

There's no room in the

tent for you, dear. No?

You'll have to curl up in the

easy chair. Oh, yeah. This one?

No, the deck chair.

Oh, yes.

And don't forget to put some

wood on the fire. I won't, dear.

And no more drinking!

Oh, no. No, no.

Good night, dear.

# In the distance looms... #

Isn't that music lovely

in the open air?

Uh, yes, it is, dear. It is.

Possibly a couple of "gipsies. "

Gypsies.

Where I first received my lesson Yeah.

# Nature's school #

# But one thing

there is lacking in the picture #

# Without her face

the scene is incomplete #

# So incomplete #

# I long to see my mother

in the doorway #

# As she stood there years ago #

# Her boy to greet #

# Oh, the moonlight's fair #

# Tonight along the Wabash #

Don't forget to put

the wood on the fre!

Oh, I won't, dear.

# Through the fields there comes

a breath of new-mown hay #

# Of new-mown hay #

# Through the sycamores #

# The candlelights #

# Are gleaming #

# On the banks of the Wabash #

# Far away #

# Plink, plink, plink, plink #

# Plink, plink, plink, plink

plink, plink, plink, plink #

# Hoo-wah, hoo-wah #

# There's where

my road is turning #

# Back to my

Indiana Hoosier home #

# On the banks #

# Of the Wabash #

# Far away #

Pardon me, gentlemen.

Hope I'm not intruding.

Not at all.

As a younger man, I used to belong to the

Cohoxan Hose Glee Club in Philadelphia.

Uh, do you boys

know the, uh...

the, uh, two, uh...

Um, excuse me.

I can't find my pockets with this

bib on. It's kind of chilly tonight.

Do you know the "Two

Sweethearts" song? How does it go?

# A crowd of young fellows #

# One night at the club #

# Were telling

of sweethearts they had #

Oh, excuse me.

That cow

ust put me off-key.

# A crowd of young fellows

one night at the club #

# Were telling

of sweethearts they had #

# All of them were jolly #

# Excepting one youth #

And he was downhearted and sad

What on Earth? That old fool.

Harold? Coming, dear.

Coming, dear. Coming, dear.

# Come, chum Won't you join us #

# His comrades then asked #

# For surely some girl

has loved you #

# Then bowing his head #

# As... #

Coming, dear! Coming!

Excuse me. Excuse me.

My wife's calling me.

Let's stop someplace along

the road and have our lunch.

All right, dear. Everybody watch

for a nice place, and I'll stop.

Oh, that was a nice spot

we just passed!

Well, don't tell me after we've

passed it! Tell me before we get to it!

Hey there!

Here, here, here!

What're ya doing?

Just lookin' around. Can't a

guy look? Nah, ya can't look!

And ya can't loiter

around this place.

Hey, Pop, we're coming to a

park! Let's have lunch there.

There's the gate.

Hey, Pop! The sign

says, "Private property"!

That's just

to keep the tramps out.

This is the finest camping ground

we've struck all the way out.

Certainly is, dear.

Yeah.

These are beautiful woods,

huh? Look at that lovely pond.

Oh, that's magnificent.

Look out where you're going!

Look what you've done! She

ran right in front of the car.

Why, it's a statue, you idiot!

It's the Venus de Milo.

Would there be any objection

if we looked around a little?

Sorry. We don't allow

anybody on the estate.

Ah, crackers!

Good old crackers.

That was a smart thing of me to

bring those crackers along, wasn't it?

Oh, yes, dear.

Yes, yes.

These were the best-selling

crackers, too, I had in the store.

We sure picked out

a delectable spot.

Harold, open this can.

Ah, tomatoes.

To-mah-toes.

Yes, to-mah-tas.

I'll show you how we used

to open them in the army.

Guess I was

thinkin' of the navy.

Holy mackerel.

Sorry, dear.

What?

This sundial is,

um, 10 minutes slow.

Yes. The sun is wrong, but

your watch is right, of course.
