00:00Listerine antiseptic, listerine toothpaste, and prophylactic toothbrushes present America's
00:13favorite family comedy, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, starring the entire Nelson
00:18family.
00:19Here is Ozzie, who plays the part of Ozzie Nelson.
00:22And of course, his lovely wife Harriet, as Harriet Nelson.
00:26The older of the Nelson boys, David, appears as David Nelson, and his younger brother,
00:31the irrepressible Ricky, played by Ricky Nelson.
00:34The Nelson's next door neighbor, Thorny, is played by Don DeFore.
00:39Well, let's see what's happening in the Nelson household today.
00:43Say, Ozzie looks a little worried about something, doesn't he?
00:48Maybe I ought to tell you what happened about three days ago.
00:53Harriet was sitting in the living room knitting.
00:55Doesn't she look pretty sitting there?
00:58When Ozzie came in the front door.
01:00Hi, Harriet.
01:01Oh, hi.
01:02I got something while I was downtown.
01:03I want you to take a look at it.
01:04I bought this little present.
01:06Oh, for me?
01:07Well, no.
01:08Oh.
01:09Oh, what is it?
01:10For the boys?
01:11No.
01:12Hey, welcome.
01:13I finished my nopal.
01:14Excuse me, Pop.
01:15Well, that's fine, dear.
01:16It was hard work, too.
01:17I think I did a pretty good job on it.
01:18I don't think you're so hot.
01:19Now, isn't it?
01:20Aren't you going to say hello to your father?
01:21Oh, hiya, Pop.
01:22Hiya.
01:23I don't think you're so hot.
01:24Hey, is that any way to talk to your father?
01:25No, I was talking to David.
01:26Well, will somebody please talk to me?
01:27I've been trying to show your mother a little present here.
01:28Well, sorry, Pop.
01:29Go right ahead.
01:30Oh, thank you.
01:31Anything will be better than listening to David brag about his notebook.
01:32What do you mean?
01:33It's a darn good notebook.
01:34Even if I do say so myself.
01:35Well, you might as well.
01:36Nobody else will.
01:37We'll see when I hand it to the teacher.
01:38Hand it to her?
01:39Heck, you better just drop it and run.
01:40Hi.
01:41Somebody please tell me what this is all about.
01:42We had to do a notebook for our science class.
01:43Well, we're sorry, Pop.
01:44We'll see when I hand it to the teacher.
01:45Hand it to her?
01:47Hi.
01:48Somebody please tell me what this is all about.
01:49We had to do a notebook for our science class.
01:50Well, we're sorry, Pop.
01:51We'll see when I hand it to the teacher.
01:52Hand it to her?
01:53Heck, you better just drop it and run.
01:54Hi.
01:55Somebody please tell me what this is all about.
01:56We had to do a notebook for our science class.
01:57Well, we're sorry, Pop.
01:58We'll see when I hand it to the teacher.
01:59Hand it to her?
02:00Heck, you better just drop it and run.
02:01Hi.
02:02Somebody please tell me what this is all about.
02:03We had to do a notebook for our science class.
02:04Well, we're sorry, Pop.
02:05We'll see when I hand it to the teacher.
02:06Hand it to her?
02:07Heck, you better just drop it and run.
02:08Hi.
02:10His birthday's coming up, and I thought he might like it.
02:12Well, I didn't know you and Thorny exchanged birthday gifts.
02:15Well, we don't usually, but I saw this tricky little lighter, and it looked like something he might go for.
02:19Oh, that's very thoughtful of you.
02:21You gonna wrap it up?
02:22Well, I thought I might do it up as kind of a joke.
02:25Why don't you give him a lighter that won't light?
02:27That'd be a good joke.
02:30Well, I don't think he'd quite appreciate that.
02:32Besides, he's probably got a couple of those now.
02:35You see, what I figured I'd do is to put this little lighter in a great big box and then mail it to him.
02:41Hey, that's pretty neat, Pop.
02:43Oh, I don't mess around, boy.
02:47Hey, where are you gonna get all the wrapping paper?
02:49I'm glad you asked that.
02:51Remember last year around Christmas time, your old dad was smart enough to put a lot of that Christmas wrapping paper away in a very safe place just in case it might come in handy for such an emergency?
03:02That's right, I remember that. That was very clever of you, dear.
03:05Oh, thank you. I just figured it might come in handy.
03:08I know, you're right.
03:09Where is it, Pop?
03:10Oh, I stashed it away very carefully where we can get our hands on it at any time.
03:15Where's that?
03:17Well, we haven't needed it so far.
03:21It's right upstairs on the shelf in the closet.
03:23Oh, oh, you ask where it is?
03:25Yeah, it's right upstairs on the shelf in the closet.
03:28I thought for a minute there you'd forgotten where you put it.
03:31Oh, that would have been a good one.
03:35I forgot where I put it.
03:37It's right upstairs on the shelf in the closet.
03:41Uh, Harriet?
03:43Yes, dear?
03:44Which closet?
03:48That was three days ago.
03:50And now this morning as we look in on the Nelsons again, Ozzie is leaning across the desk with a faraway look in his eye.
03:57What's the matter?
03:59Oh, nothing.
04:00I'm just leaning across the desk with a faraway look in my eye.
04:04Well, it's not something's the matter with the way you say, oh, nothing.
04:07Well, I just think it's strange I haven't had any word from Thorny.
04:11Any word from him? Has he been away or something?
04:13No, I mean about the birthday present. You remember I bought him that beautiful McDougal lighter?
04:17Oh, yes.
04:18Gee, I spent about a half hour wrapping it with that beautiful Christmas paper and mailed it to him personally.
04:24Well, maybe he hasn't received it yet.
04:26Oh, of course he's received it. I went down to the post office and mailed it myself three days ago.
04:31Well, some people are a little slow about those things.
04:34How slow can you get?
04:36Well, it took you quite a while to return his lawnmower to him.
04:39Oh, I brought it back last week.
04:41Yeah, but do you remember when you borrowed it?
04:44When was that?
04:46Well, if you must know, it was...
04:47Oh, yes, yes, that's right. It was Christmas Eve.
04:50Oh, I hope you got it.
04:52How could I forget? Remember the big laugh I got when we walked into the Randolph's party?
04:56No, I don't remember.
04:58Well, sure you do. I walked in pushing the lawnmower ahead of me.
05:01I said, here we are, folks, all ready to trim your tree.
05:07Besides, you can't actually say I just returned it last week.
05:10I mean, it's been back and forth between the two houses all summer.
05:13Well, I'm sure if Thorny received your present, he'll thank you for it.
05:16Probably just slipped his mind.
05:18Oh, Harriet, how can a thing like that slip your mind?
05:21Well, maybe he doesn't know who sent it to him.
05:23Did you put a card in it?
05:24Sure, I had a card in it. I had a return address on the outside of the package.
05:29That seems strange.
05:32Say, wait a minute. I just thought of a rather subtle way to bring this subject up.
05:37What's that?
05:38Well, I'll go down and buy a pack of cigarettes.
05:41You don't smoke.
05:42Oh, that's okay. I'll buy the cigarettes and I'll go over to Thorny's house and I'll offer him a cigarette.
05:47And he'll take one and when he whips out the lighter, he's got to mention it.
05:51Well, doesn't that seem like a lot of trouble to go to?
05:54Well, just to buy a pack of cigarettes.
05:56Well, I know, but I didn't think you wanted to spend any more of your hard-earned money.
06:01Come to think of it, I have spent quite a bit on an ungrateful bum already.
06:05Yeah, why should I spend more of my money on him?
06:08You're absolutely right, Harriet.
06:12Let me have 20 cents, will you please?
06:18THORNY'S HOUSE
06:25Hi, hey, uh, Thorny.
06:26Hi, Oz.
06:27Uh, what's your hurry? You weren't trying to avoid anybody by any chance, were you?
06:32Well, of course not, Oz. Why, is there a tax collector in the neighborhood?
06:36You seem to be walking rather fast there. You going somewhere?
06:39Well, as a matter of fact, I was just going downtown.
06:41Oh.
06:43Haven't seen you in several days.
06:45Uh, three to be exact.
06:47Come to think of it, that's right.
06:50Uh, what's new?
06:52You know the thing, Oz. What's new with you?
06:55Don't change the subject, Thorny.
06:57Change the subject? Hey, let go of my coat, will you?
06:59Oh, I'm sorry, I...
07:00Get out of my pockets. What are you trying to do?
07:03Something very personal about a man's coat pockets.
07:05Well, I just wanted to see whether you had a pack of cigarettes with you.
07:09No, no, I don't have any.
07:10No? Well, I happen to have a pack of cigarettes with me right here.
07:13Would you care for one?
07:14Well, yes, yes.
07:15Here, take two. They're the small size.
07:20I'll smoke them later.
07:22If you don't mind, I'd rather you'd smoke one now.
07:25Say, what are you trying to do? Give me the nose test or something?
07:29Thorny, I hate to be as blunt as this, but isn't there something on your mind?
07:33Something you'd like to tell me?
07:35What do you mean, Oz?
07:36Well, I mean, isn't there something you'd like to thank me for?
07:40Oh, Oz, how stupid of me.
07:42Of course there is.
07:45Gee, I thought you were acting kind of funny,
07:47and here all along you wanted to know why I didn't mention it.
07:49Oh, no, no, no, that's okay.
07:51Thorny, forget it.
07:52How can I apologize?
07:54Oh, don't apologize, old pal. It was a pleasure.
07:57Well, it was just one of those things that kind of slipped my mind
07:59because I haven't had an occasion to use it lately, you understand?
08:01Oh, sure.
08:02You know, during the winter months, the grass doesn't grow long enough for me to use the lawnmower.
08:07In any case, you're returning it, Oz, and I'll see you later.
08:09This is why I'm a Thorny!
08:11Look, I hate to be rude, but I've got to be running along.
08:13Now, I'll see you later, Oz.
08:18What's the matter, Pop?
08:19Oh, hiya, fellas.
08:20Who are you talking to?
08:21Uh, apparently the only friend I have left in the world, myself.
08:25Well, we're your friends.
08:26Sure, Pop.
08:27Oh, yes, I know.
08:28Even though you are our father.
08:32Thanks a lot, boys.
08:33What's the matter, Pop?
08:34Well, I don't want to bore you guys with my problems.
08:36You probably have enough troubles of your own.
08:38I sure have one, I'll tell you that much.
08:40Oh, what's your problem, Dave?
08:42Well, you know that notebook I handed in for science class?
08:45Oh, yeah, I thought it was swell.
08:47So did I, but the teacher gave me a D on it.
08:49A D, is that all?
08:51Yeah, and I worked real hard on it, too.
08:53Pasted in all those pictures.
08:55I was wondering if she could have made a mistake on it.
08:58Well, it's always possible.
08:59I sure wish I could find out.
09:01Well, that's easy.
09:02Why don't you just go up to her and ask her?
09:04It's not going to cost you anything.
09:06It may cost him his life.
09:08Ricky, teachers don't bite, you know.
09:11No, but you sure get terrible marks from them.
09:14I can't understand it.
09:15I worked so hard on that thing and made all those drawings,
09:18and she gives me a D on it.
09:20Well, David, sometimes it's hard to figure out what goes on in people's minds.
09:25Here I go down and buy an expensive McDougal lighter,
09:29wrap it as a beautiful gift,
09:31I don't even get a word of thanks.
09:34Gosh darn Thornberry.
09:37Gosh darn teacher.
09:40Gosh darn Iggy Schwartz.
09:43Iggy Schwartz?
09:45I thought he was your best friend.
09:47He is.
09:49Well, what are you mad at him for?
09:51Well, heck, a guy has to be mad at somebody around here to keep from getting lonesome.
09:56♪
10:02Hi, Pop.
10:03Oh, hi, Rick.
10:04Are you still mad at Mr. Thornberry?
10:06Well, no, I never was mad at him.
10:08Well, you sure sounded like it.
10:10Oh, then I was a little upset there for a while, but I've gotten over it.
10:14Oh, boy, that's swell.
10:16Well, why are you so happy?
10:17Mrs. Thornberry's baking some chocolate cake today, and she asked me to have some with her.
10:22Oh, uh, we were just discussing Thorny.
10:24Are you still grumbling about that?
10:26No, Harriet, I'm not grumbling.
10:28I've decided to be philosophical about it.
10:30I'm certainly not going to let any silly cigarette lighter spoil our friendship.
10:34Well, now, that makes some sense.
10:36After all, Thorny has a lot of fine qualities about him.
10:40He's honest, he's a good friend, and he's a good neighbor.
10:44Mrs. Thornberry's a swell cook, too.
10:47After all, what's so wonderful about a cigarette lighter?
10:50Certainly nothing to get excited about.
10:55Although, come to think of it, it is a pretty darn nice present to give someone.
10:59He'll probably thank you for it sooner or later.
11:02And maybe it's just one of his little practical jokes.
11:05Well, Harriet, I really don't care one way or another.
11:07I don't care if he ever thanks me for it.
11:10In fact, I feel silly even discussing the thing.
11:13Let's just change the subject, shall we?
11:15It's fine with me.
11:20Have you done any of your Christmas shopping yet?
11:23Some of it. I've got my list all made out.
11:25Fine.
11:30He's probably got a lot on his mind right now.
11:33Who?
11:34Well, Thorny.
11:35I know there's some reason why he hasn't mentioned it.
11:38I thought we weren't going to talk about that.
11:40Well, yes, we are.
11:41I just didn't want you to think I was still brooding about it.
11:45You know, it could be that he's just embarrassed
11:47because he didn't buy me a birthday present.
11:50I mean, I could put a guy in quite a spot.
11:52I buy him this beautiful birthday present,
11:55and he didn't even take the trouble to get one for me.
11:58Yes, there's a possibility of that.
12:01Strange.
12:03What's the matter?
12:04Why didn't he buy me a birthday present?
12:07Well, I don't know.
12:09I don't know.
12:11What's the matter?
12:12Why didn't he buy me a birthday present?
12:14He probably forgot about it.
12:16Yes, just the same as he forgot to thank me
12:18for the beautiful lighter I bought for him.
12:21However, that isn't important.
12:23He's a good neighbor.
12:25Certainly.
12:26Sometimes we have to overlook
12:27these little annoying habits and friends.
12:29Nobody's perfect.
12:32I'm sure I have some bad faults of my own.
12:35Certainly.
12:38Name one.
12:42Never mind. We're discussing Thorny.
12:44And you were being philosophical about it.
12:46Yes, that's right.
12:48Outside of being rather forgetful
12:50and rather impolite and rude at times,
12:53he's a wonderful person.
12:55Has a lot of fine qualities.
12:57Certainly.
13:01Name one.
13:04Well, he's a good friend.
13:05If he were a good friend,
13:06he would have thanked me for the present I gave him.
13:09Well, I'm only repeating what you said
13:10when you were being philosophical.
13:12Well, I guess I'm just not a philosopher.
13:15This thing is beginning to get me down.
13:17Well, Ozzy, it just isn't that important.
13:19Well, I'm trying.
13:20I've made a lot of excuses for the man.
13:22But frankly, Harriet, they failed to convince me.
13:25Oh, hi there.
13:26Hi there.
13:27Thanks a lot for the swell advice you gave me, Pa.
13:29You sure were right.
13:30What advice is that?
13:31About the D I got on my notebook.
13:33Oh, did you go see your teacher?
13:35Yes, sir.
13:36She said it was all a big mistake.
13:37She said I shouldn't have got a D at all.
13:39You mean you should have got an F?
13:42No, sir.
13:43She gave me an A.
13:44Oh, that's wonderful.
13:45What happened?
13:46Well, see, there are two guys in our class named Nelson.
13:49And the D was for David.
13:50But my mark was an A.
13:51Well, that was a pleasant surprise.
13:53It sure was.
13:54I sure am glad I went up and asked her about it.
13:56Well, that's the sensible way.
13:58These things usually turn out to be some little mistake
14:01or misunderstanding.
14:03Well, now let me get this straight.
14:04You mean you recommend walking up to a person
14:07and asking him about what's bothering you?
14:09Some misunderstanding?
14:10Well, now just a second, Harry.
14:12This thing with Thorny is entirely different.
14:15Well, I don't know why the same advice shouldn't apply.
14:17Why don't you try it and see?
14:19Harry, I'm not going to walk up to a man without his order.
14:21I'm not going to walk up to a man without his order!
14:23♪
14:27boom!
14:28Audience Laughter
14:35Bond Joe knocking on door
14:36Boys...
14:38Audience Laughter
14:39Bond Joe knocking on door
14:42I'm not going to go over to Zorney's.
14:44Do you understand?
14:45I'm not going over to Zorney's!
14:46Bond Joe knocking on door
14:48I'll be right back.
14:55Oh, hi, Oz.
15:00Oh, hi, Thorny.
15:05Looking for me?
15:10Well, as long as you're here.
15:16Yes, I would kind of like to have a little talk with you.
15:19Oh, come on in the house.
15:21No, thanks.
15:22If you don't mind, I'd rather stay out here.
15:24Why don't we just sit down here on the steps and talk?
15:27It's a pleasant evening.
15:29Well, if you say so.
15:30Wait, I'll get my coat.
15:40All righty.
15:43What's on your mind, Oz?
15:45Well, let me preface this by saying I've always considered you a good friend and a good neighbor.
15:51Oz, I'll be happy to lend you anything but money.
15:53No, this isn't a touch, Thorny.
15:56Oh, sorry.
15:58What is it, then?
15:59Well, as I was saying, we've had some wonderful times together, you and I, Thorny.
16:04Yes, we have.
16:08I like you, Thorny.
16:11Well, I like you, too, Oz.
16:14They say you're a swell guy.
16:18I value our friendship more than words can say.
16:22Are you sure this isn't a touch?
16:23No, no, I told you this is not a touch.
16:26You're getting awfully mushy for just a social visit.
16:29Well, I'll get right to the point.
16:32Several days ago, three to be exact,
16:35I went downtown and I purchased a small but rather attractive present.
16:41I brought this present home and I wrapped it in some beautiful paper that I've been saving ever since last Christmas for just such a special occasion.
16:52I brought it over to the post office and I mailed it, Thorny.
16:56I mailed it to you.
16:59Oh, was it a large square box done in red-green paper?
17:03Yes.
17:04Oh, sure, I got that yesterday.
17:07You got it yesterday?
17:09Yeah.
17:10That's all you have to say? You received it yesterday?
17:13Well, what else do you want me to say?
17:15Thorny, to put it very bluntly, has it occurred to you you haven't even bothered to thank me for the present?
17:21Well, I plan to thank you, Oz, at the proper time.
17:25What do you mean at the proper time?
17:27Well, right on the bottom of the box it says in plain letters, do not open until Christmas.
17:34Do not open until Christmas?
17:35Sure, right on the bottom of the box.
17:37It's a pretty dirty trick, too. I just sent it so early.
17:40You know, I haven't got much willpower.
17:42Thorny, gee, I owe you an apology.
17:46Oh, think nothing of it, Oz.
17:48You can feel free to send me presents any time.
17:51No, no, no, you don't understand.
17:52See, I thought you'd already opened it.
17:54Well, I'm not supposed to open it until Christmas.
17:56Yeah, yes, I know.
17:58It is a Christmas present, isn't it?
18:00Say.
18:01I said, it is a Christmas present, isn't it?
18:03Well, you saw what it said on the sticker.
18:07Hey, wait a minute.
18:08Oz, you sly old dog. I bet you sent that over for a birthday present.
18:12Well, no, not so fast, Thorny.
18:15Oh, Oz, you shouldn't have done it.
18:17No, no, wait a minute. It was sort of a combination.
18:20Yes, that's a good one.
18:21A combination of a birthday and a Christmas present.
18:24A combination present?
18:26Yes, you see, your birthday comes so close to Christmas, it makes it very handy.
18:32Well, okay, Oz, if that's what you say, but...
18:36Well, is that all right?
18:38Well, sure, sure, Oz.
18:39If you don't want to give me a birthday present, it's okay with me.
18:42Well, you said yourself I shouldn't have done it.
18:44Yeah, but since you've already done it, you don't have to try to weasel out of it.
18:47I'm not trying to weasel out of anything, Thorny.
18:50I think it's a very nice present.
18:52I know, Oz, it's a beautiful lighter.
18:54Well, then...
18:58How do you know it's a lighter?
19:00Well, when I was putting it away, I accidentally tore a corner of the paper,
19:04and then just a little later on, I accidentally tore the lid off the box.
19:08Thorny, it said very distinctly, do not open until Christmas.
19:13Yes, and it's a pretty dirty trick putting that on a man's birthday present.
19:16Who said it was a birthday present?
19:18You did.
19:19I said nothing of the sort.
19:21I said it was a combination birthday and Christmas present.
19:24Oh, Oz, you know very well you sent that to me as a birthday present.
19:27The sticker said very distinctly, do not open until Christmas.
19:32Well, if you put a sticker on my birthday present,
19:34then you get sore because I don't thank you for it.
19:36Who's getting sore?
19:38I merely came over here to get everything straightened out.
19:41To get what straightened out?
19:42This business about the...
19:45I don't know.
19:46You've gotten so confused now, I don't know what I'm talking about.
19:49I think I'll go home anyway.
19:50You're in such a belligerent mood.
19:52Who's in a belligerent mood?
19:53You started this argument.
19:55I didn't start any argument.
19:56I'm not in an arguing mood.
19:58Well, then stop being such a sore head.
20:00Who's a sore head?
20:01I'm very happy.
20:02So am I.
20:04Fine.
20:05Good night.
20:06Good night.
20:07Happy birthday and a merry Christmas.
20:09The same to you.
20:15I still don't understand what happened.
20:18Harriet, please, I'd rather not talk about it.
20:21The whole thing was very disillusioning.
20:23Let's put it that way.
20:25Suit yourself, dear.
20:27It said right on the package,
20:29do not open until Christmas.
20:33Yes, but you didn't know that.
20:35Nevertheless, the man thought it was a Christmas present,
20:38and yet he deliberately opened it
20:40and claimed it was a birthday present.
20:43If you ask me, I think that shows a definite lack of character.
20:48But you did send it to him for his birthday.
20:51Nevertheless, Harriet, he thought it was a Christmas present,
20:54and it would have been much easier to let it go at that.
20:57You know yourself we've never exchanged birthday presents before.
21:01Come on in, Thorny.
21:04I may not even talk to him.
21:09Hello, Harriet.
21:10Hello, Thorny.
21:13Hi, Oz.
21:15Hi, Thorny.
21:17If you boys will excuse me, I'll get dinner ready.
21:20Oz, I came over to apologize.
21:23Oh, forget it, Thorny.
21:25Gee, I don't know what got into me.
21:27I seem to get these mean streaks every now and then.
21:30But I want you to know I think the lighter is swell,
21:33and I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
21:36It's okay, Thorny. I'm glad you like it.
21:39I want you to know I'm sorry the way I acted.
21:42I was a cad.
21:44Oh, stop it, Thorny. It's forgotten.
21:48Bless you, Oz. You're a good friend.
21:51I really like you, and I want you to know I value our friendship far more than I can say.
21:57Gee, thanks, Thorny.
21:59Well, I guess I'll be running along now.
22:02I want to see if there's anything in the refrigerator tonight for my dinner.
22:06Probably be some cold cuts or something.
22:08Oh, isn't Catherine home?
22:10No, she and the children are spending the night with her mother.
22:13Oh.
22:14Oh, now forget it, Oz. I wouldn't think of imposing on you.
22:18I'll find plenty to eat. Don't you worry, Oz.
22:21Besides, it won't hurt me to go hungry for one night.
22:26I said, it won't hurt me to go hungry for one night.
22:30Oh, yes, yes, I heard you, Thorny.
22:33Oh.
22:36Oh, boy. Something really smells good.
22:42Yes, it does, doesn't it?
22:46Well, I guess I'll be running along, Oz.
22:49Gee, you better help me up. I don't think I can make it. I'm a little weak.
22:53Okay, Thorny. You're invited for dinner.
22:56Oh, no, Oz. I can't.
22:58You can't what?
22:59I can't turn down your very kind invitation.
23:02Hey, hey, what do we eat?
23:13And you better get up to bed, young fellow.
23:15Okay, Mom, I will.
23:16Where's David?
23:17He's in the den watching television.
23:19Oh.
23:22I sure am glad Pop and Mr. Thornberry are good friends again.
23:25Oh, I'm sure they were never anything else, dear.
23:29It sure was a good dinner, Mom.
23:31Thank you. Your father certainly enjoyed it.
23:34So did Mr. Thornberry.
23:35I should say so. They each had about three helpings.
23:38You know, Pop and Mr. Thornberry are an awful lot alike, aren't they, Mom?
23:42Yes, they are. Sometimes amazingly so.
23:45Well, good night, Mom.
23:47Good night, dear.
23:49Will you tell Pop good night?
23:51Yes, I will.
23:52And Mr. Thornberry, too.
23:53All right, dear.
