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.

0:59 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.
