00:07Evening. Is, uh, is Dr. Kingsley at home?
00:11Hello, Mr. Merrick. It's been a long time.
00:14It is Linda, isn't it?
00:16Uh-huh. Come in.
00:18Well, hiya there, slugger.
00:22Hi. Daddy, Mr. Merrick's here.
00:26You know, I almost didn't recognize you.
00:28You've, uh, grown a little.
00:30Oh, she's a sea cup now.
00:34Abby!
00:37It's all right. I already guessed.
00:40I'm a shrewd judge of character.
00:43I was amazed to hear that you and Daddy were collaborating again.
00:47I thought you two couldn't stand each other.
00:49Oh, I have nothing against your father.
00:51He only resents me because I'm perfect.
00:53Besides, I needed the money.
00:55Do me a favor.
00:57Try to sneak in some advice about the, uh, awkward age.
01:01And what do you consider the awkward age?
01:04Anywhere from 39 on up.
01:06I'm serious.
01:08That's when they suddenly find themselves with a grown-up teenager.
01:12Right away, they lose their sense of humor.
01:15They can't even think straight.
01:17Example?
01:18Example.
01:20I do something wrong, something idiotic,
01:23that I've never managed to do from time to time.
01:25Do you know what they say?
01:27I'm old enough to know better.
01:29And they're right. I am.
01:31So I reform.
01:33So I decide I'll do something adult,
01:35like spend the Fourth of July weekend over at Catalina Island
01:38with some of the kids from school.
01:40Without a chaperone.
01:42Guess what their answer's gonna be to that?
01:44You're too young.
01:46I'm too old, I'm too young, all in the same 20 minutes.
01:50What's your opinion, Mr. Merrick?
01:52Am I really too young?
01:54You won't quote me?
01:56Never.
01:58Well, it's my opinion
02:00that I'm working with your father on a book.
02:03The pay is good, and I'm going to keep my mouth shut.
02:06Good evening, Doctor.
02:10Evening, Merrick.
02:11Just passing by, I thought I'd drop these notes off.
02:13That's a little better.
02:15These on Chapter 2?
02:16No, actually, some additional thoughts on Chapter 1.
02:19I can't wait to read them.
02:20Linda, put these on my desk, will you, please?
02:22I'd be happy to.
02:28That's quite a girl you've got there, Doctor.
02:30Should be a real comfort to you in your old age.
02:32She should be. She's what's causing it.
02:34I'd like to offer you a drink, Merrick.
02:36Thanks, I'd love one.
02:37Anyway, just on our way out.
02:39Hello, Richard.
02:40Good evening, Mrs. Kingsley.
02:42I was, uh, just on my way out.
02:44Oh?
02:45Good night.
02:46Good night.
02:50Good night, Richard.
02:51Good night.
