Hey, stoke up on that, and we'll take
another shot at those slopes.

Mmm, warm.

Nice.

Hey, you handle yourself all right out
there.

Oh, I spend a lot of time in Norway.

Before I can get too interested in a
man, I have to see how he slallows.

How am I doing?

Marvelous, at least on the slow runs.

This afternoon, we move out with the big
boys.

I'll do my best.

I feel like so sorry.

Oh, well, these things happen.

I didn't mean to cut in front of you.

The sign sits to when I said I should.

No, no, no. It was all my stupid clumsy
fault.

Don't blame yourself.

Don't do that.

Worst moment of my life when I saw you
heading for that tree.

That wasn't good for me either.

Is it okay if we come in?

Yeah, it's not catching.

You want to sign my cast?

It's an old American custom, writing on
casts.

Me first.

All right.

Hey.

Somebody's already first.

Love, Michael.

Michelle.

I could write it a little straighter if
you had lines.

I guess this makes me a member of the
club.

What club?

The skiers with broken legs club.

Doctor says that I have to stay in bed
for a few days and rest, and then he's

going to put a cast on there that I can
walk with, and after that I'll be good

as new.

Mm -hmm. You hear that, children? He
needs rest.

Okay, Mr. French. He'll get rest. We'll
take real good care of him.

And I can be a big help. I studied first
aid.

Uncle Bill looks like he's up to second
aid.

I'm pretty lucky getting all this
nursing, huh, French?

Oh, yes, your leg will be in good hands,
sir.

We trust.

Uncle Bill, we're going to give up
everything to take care of you.

Now, wait a minute.

Even school.

Not school.

Right, but after school, we're coming
straight home to you.

Yes, and I'm going to tell all my
friends I can't play.

Me too.

You got some plans?

Oh, we'll give them up.

Oh, that won't be necessary.

Good morning, Miss Reed.

How is he? Oh, he's recuperating nicely,
thank you.

May I see him? Of course, he's
expecting.

Buffy, Jody, Sissy, this is Miss Reed,
Michelle Reed.

Hello.

Hi, how are you?

Uncle Bill, is this the lady you went
skiing with?

She's the one.

You have a nice autograph.

Thank you, Jody.

And I'm glad to meet everybody.

French, do you think you might find an
empty vase?

Oh, to be sure, madam.

Uncle Bill sure has a lot of flowers.

Yeah, the gardens around here must be
bald.

Oh, I missed you.

Well, you're not going to miss me from
now on.

I'm moving in.

Just while you're out of commission to
take care of you.

We're already doing that.

Well, now you can just relax and have
fun.

I'm in charge now.

Okay, you guys, I want to talk to
Michelle a minute.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll see you later, Uncle Bill. Okay.
But we'll be right home after school.

Yeah. Bye.

Take good care of your foot. Bye. Yeah.

They're wonderful, Bill.

I'm glad you like them. And I'm going to
get to know them better the next few

days. Look, I appreciate you wanting to
move in, but I think it would be better

if you didn't. Understand?

I can't take care of you on a commuting
basis. I couldn't afford the cab fare.

No.

No, it's because we haven't got an extra
bedroom. We'd have to move Jody out of

his room, put him in a den, and decide.

I'm the one responsible for your plight,
remember?

Me, me.

You're responsible because I can't ski?

You're a marvelous skier, for goodness
sakes. But, well, it's all settled,

Jody won't mind for a few days.

He's on.

My temperature's normal. Sissy says it
is. She took first aid, I believe. Good.

I'll get you a nice hot cup of tea.

Michelle, look, I would like for you to
stay and take care of me, but you're not

gonna do it.

Why not?

Well, because the kids have got their
hearts all set on looking after me.

They're just plain doctor and nurse. No,
they're not playing doctor and nurse.

They gave up all their own funds so they
could stay with me.

And you don't want to hurt them?

That's about it.

I understand it.

I wouldn't want to hurt them either.

Thank you.

I'd probably have made a dreadful nurse.
I can't stand the sight of plaster of

Paris.

You hurry up and get better.

Here.

Do it.

If you should ever change your mind, I'm
as close as the phone.

Okay?

me, said Aunt Jane.

We will go to the train now. Can you
guess who will be on the train?

Can you guess who will be on the train?

What train?

The train in the story.

I guess I'm not too good at riddles.

Then listen.

I can guess it, Bobby.

Daddy will come on the train.

Of course, Daddy.

The train came in.

Bobby saw his daddy.

Bobby jumped up and down.

Here he comes, said Bobby.

Here he comes. Don't go, friend. She's
reading a very interesting story here.

Do you like the bomb, asked Daddy.

Yes, I do, said Bobby. There are many
things on the farm. There is a point to

that. Excuse me, sir. I'm preparing
dinner.

We can wait.

I have a pet duck. His name is Waddles.
Then Daddy heard a noise. It made him

jump.

See? Exciting plot, huh?

Now, fascinating, sir. I do lean towards
intrigue.

Daddy looked all around.

Then he saw a little box.

Something is in that little box, he
said. What is in that little box?

I give up.

It is Waddles, my pet duck, said Bobby.
He likes to go where I go. Out came

Waddles. Guess what Waddles said?

Quack, quack.

Mr. French, have you been reading my
book?

No, dear. Why don't you come and help me
whip the cream for the shortcake?

I'll let you lick the bowl.

No, thank you, Mr. French. My job is to
read to Uncle Peel.

I have to take so many pills.

You want to get better now, don't you?

Yeah, but I don't think I should be
taking four pills every 15 minutes, do

Oh, it's okay.

They're all in candy.

Well, then I shouldn't be eating candy
every 15 minutes.

Why not?

They give me a stomachache, that's why.

If the above specifications and
estimated cost meet your... Wait, wait,

Uncle Bill. I'm still working on the
last paragraph.

Okay. Take your time.

Well, it's hard to work fast when I'm
writing in longhand and you're dictating

in shorthand.

Okay.

If the above specifications... Hold it.

And estimated costs.

Meet with your approval.

Your what? Ow.

Oh, my mistake. I trimmed your knuckles.

Approval.

Go on.

Meet with your approval.

You said that already.

We await your further reply.

And... Hold it.

Is there anything you need, sir?

No. Thanks. Everything's under control.

Sissy's taken the letter on the Walker
contract and Buffy is manicuring my

knuckles.

I'm finished.

Okay, that's very good, honey. Now, why
don't you run along so Sissy and I can

finish the letter, huh?

Okay.

Well, you really don't want me to write
et cetera, do you?

No, you put my name in the company.

There.

Uncle Bill, I think it's really groovy
that you let me be your secretary

of sending for somebody from the office.

Well, I trust you.

Thanks.

I'm going to type all of this up.

Well, it may take a while because... My
typing's not as good as my long hand.

Uncle Bill, I got a new book from the
library.

It's called There's a Mouse in Our
House.

That's a catchy title.

Once there was a mouse who lived in a
house. His name was Albert, and he was

very fond of cheese and crackers.

Then a mouse, there is a mouse in our
house. Come, you'll see.

Telegram for you, sir.

Thank you.

Walker Company Incorporated.

They're not bad news, I hope, sir.

They accepted my bid. I got the
contract.

Splendid, sir.

Sensei!

Read that.

They've accepted your bid of $350 ,000,
sir.

Yes, Uncle Bill?

Sissy, did you make a carbon of that
letter we sent to the Walker Company?

Oh, of course, Uncle Bill. Every good
secretary does.

Uh -huh.

Would you get it? And your notebook,
too?

I'll go.

Now, what's the estimating cost in the
letter?

Yes. Uh, let's see.

$350 ,000.

Now, how much is it in your notes?

My notes?

Um... Oh, Uncle Bill.

$530 ,000.

I transposed the numbers.

I'm sorry.

Well, I should have read it over before
I signed it, honey, so... I guess my

mind was full of the mouse in the house.

Well, I hope it didn't cause any
trouble.

Well, I got a little problem, honey, but
I'll take care of it.

How could I make such an awful mistake?

It's all right, sissy. I told you I'd
take care of it.

Yes, but Uncle Bill, I let you down.

No. You couldn't let me down.

Next time, I promise I'm going to be
more careful.

Okay. Okay?

Well, I hope you'll be able to explain
things, sir.

Yeah, she's just trying to be helpful.

Somehow it beats me how you managed to
survive all the help you've had these

past few days.

Well, that hasn't been easy.

I haven't got the heart to tell him to
quit.

8 p .m. only?

Is Uncle Bill worse?

No, Mr. Davis is splendid.

Well, then who put up the sign?

I did.

We're not visitors.

We're us.

Mystery, Mr. French.

Now, look, you children want to do
what's best for your uncle, don't you?

Well, I feel that the best thing you can
do for him is to leave him alone.

But doesn't Uncle Bill want us?

If I had a broken leg, I'd want him.

Of course your uncle wants you.

It's just that I feel he would rest much
easier if he knew you were going about

your regular activities.

You know, I mean, playing with your
friends, having a good time.

Instead of sacrificing all of your fun
time for him.

Oh, but we'd like to help him, Mr.
French.

Precisely. And the best way to help him
is to return to your normal activities,

and then your uncle will rest much
better.

All right, if you think so.

Taking care of Uncle Bill was fun.

We wanted to because we love him.

But now we'll give him up because we
love him.

I thought it was best for you, sir.
That's why I took the bull by the horn.

Did they get their feelings hurt?

Oh, not at all, sir. I was most
diplomatic.

They give me up without a fight?

Yeah, without a fight, sir.

Will there be anything else, sir?

No.

Oh, actually, sir, it was a little
skirmish, but nothing that one

could label a fight.

Michelle?

Hey, listen, there's kind of been a
change of heart around here.

Lunch is served. Hey, that was pretty
good.

Good?

I made it myself.

You mean French let you invite his
private domain?

I won him over with an irresistible
combination of flattery and sorcery.

Get all settled?

Mm -hmm. The kids helped me move in.

Oh, that's good. That means I think
you're one of the family already.

Good. That'll give me a chance to make
things up to you. Now, you just finish

your lunch, and I'll come back for the
tray.

Where are you going?

I thought I'd make a few phone calls,
let some friends know where I am. We'll

call from there.

No, I don't want to annoy you with my
silly chatter.

Well, who's going to keep me company
while I eat?

You are, for a change.

What if I want something?

Just stomp your foot three times.

Michelle! What do you want now, Bill?

Get me another pillow.

Oh, I can't. I just did my nails.

Hard reading to me.

Bill, I went through a whole pile of
magazines yesterday.

We got a whole new pile today.

More engineering journals, I bet.

Yeah.

Don't you subscribe to anything
interesting?

You got the mouse in the house.

Oh, thanks a lot.

How about if we just sit here and talk?

What about?

That's a good question.

Um, Bill, look.

If you don't need me for anything really
important... I'm sorry. I didn't

realize it was so tough on you here.

It's my penance for causing your
accident. Oh, I told you you didn't. I

know.

Bill, just to give you a little vacation
for me tonight, do you mind if I keep a

dinner date?

No. No, go ahead.

The hired help always ask when they want
the evening off.

You're going to ruin your nails.

They're dry now.

Hello, Carl.

Hi.

What are you doing out of bed?

Well, the doctor was here, and he said I
could have a little change of scenery,

and he's going to put on a walking cast
tomorrow.

Which will put me out of a job.

Right. Listen.

I think that sometimes two people can be
very good for each other

until they get a little closer.

I guess that's what ruins so many
marriages.

Yeah. We're pretty lucky we found out in
time, huh?

Well, I really don't think I could have
spent a whole lifetime catering to you.

Well,

I'd expect a little more of a wife than
doing her nails and going shopping all

day long.

Children are sweet. They really are. But
they made me realize that I'm really

not ready for children yet.

I didn't think you were ever going to
get off the phone either.

No. it's very easy to live with the
things you like about somebody, but I

it's getting to live with the things you
don't like that makes for those happy

marriages.

Well, I'll go pack.

I want to thank you for everything.

I was just making it up to you.

Even though it wasn't your fault?

You know, you're right.

It wasn't my fault, and you're a lousy
skier.

That's right.

Hey.

Splendid, sir.

I'm not going to run the mile, but I can
get around pretty well like that for a

while. No, but you'll still need some
help, Uncle Bill.

I'll take you back and forth from the
office.

Okay. And I still got some candy pills
left to help you get all better.

Yeah, and I took out a new book. It's
called The Cow Takes a Bell.

Now, children, I thought that we'd
agree... Wait a minute, let him alone.

A man can always use a little tender
love and care.
