Good grief. Are those kids working
in the chemical laboratory at this hour?
1296
01:27:04,151 --> 01:27:06,454
I don't know. I'd better go find out.
Good night, Sam.

- Tom!
- I was sure I had that ''re-ceep'' right this time.
1301
01:27:23,070 --> 01:27:25,806
Tom, you're absolutely incorrigible.
1302

Janey.!

Did that noise wake you up?

01:27:31,612 --> 01:27:34,348
No.
1305
01:27:34,448 --> 01:27:36,350
Well, then, why are you crying?
1306
01:27:36,450 --> 01:27:39,554
I just want a drink of water.

You're a great one,
I must say.

You work hard your whole life
to send your children through college...

you go to sleep.

I wasn't asleep, dear.
1314
01:28:09,917 --> 01:28:13,254
I was just thinking of someone
