0:02 He may be away, but he ain't out.

0:05 That guy can hold more than any...

0:07 McGee!

0:10 Now, will you please stop talking that way about me, Uncle Dennis?

0:13 He's every inch a gentleman.

0:15 He is?

0:16 Remind me to measure him next time he falls down.

0:21 Well, I'll have to admit, he's got everything in pretty good order around here.

0:24 Ah, boy.

0:25 Let me sit down in my old easy chair a minute.

0:28 There you are.

0:28 Ah, Paul.

0:30 I'll shut a bar.

0:32 Thank goodness we only have to take one vacation a year.

0:35 Sure tires you out, don't it?

0:38 Yes, but it's been a wonderful trip.

0:40 You've learned all about salmon fishing, bear hunting, and underwater photography.

0:44 Huh?

0:44 What do you mean, underwater photography?

0:46 You mean it was accidental when you fell out of the canoe with a movie camera?

0:53 Oh, dear.

0:54 Look out the window and see who it is, McGee.

0:56 Oh, it's Mrs. Uppington.

0:58 Come in, Upping!

0:59 Oh, how do you do, Abigail?

1:02 My, it's nice to see you again.

1:03 Oh, how do you do, my dear?

1:05 And Mr. McGee.

1:07 Hi, Eppie.

1:08 I'm glad to see even you.

1:12 How's the world been treating you?

1:14 Selim?

1:16 Have you had a nice summer, Abigail?

1:18 Oh, delightful, Mrs. McGee, simply delightful.

1:21 I've spent the summer singing for the boys in the army camp.

1:24 Oh, but tell me, where have you been and what have you been doing?

1:28 Well, sir, Eppie, we drove to Seattle and took a boat to Alaska.

1:31 Wonderful country, too.

1:32 It's the...

1:32 Oh, my, how those soldiers did appreciate my singing.

1:36 I was on the program with another lady singer, you know,

1:38 and they simply wouldn't let me leave the platform.

1:41 They kept shouting,

1:43 More!

1:44 More!

1:44 Give us more!

1:45 Oh, well, that must have made the other singer feel fine.
