01:32What's that?
01:32The hot seat.
01:34Okay, here she comes.
01:36Everybody take your place.
01:37Remember, the key word is unity.
01:43All right, here I am.
01:46Okay, Danny.
01:48What's all this talk about a grievance committee?
01:51Well, it's...
01:54Take it, Keith.
01:56It was all his idea.
01:58My idea?
01:59You were the one...
02:00Go ahead, Keith.
02:10Well, we were going to demand that...
02:15We were going to ask...
02:18Take it, Laurie.
02:28I was going to demand...
02:30That is, question your rule about having to get home from dates at a certain time.
02:36But it's a good rule.
02:38I don't get enough sleep anyway.
02:43Danny, surely you have something to complain about.
02:47Who, me?
02:49I thought we were here to rehearse.
02:54Hi, everybody.
02:55Oh, what's going on?
02:57Well, it looks like a court-martial.
02:59The grievance committee is copping out.
03:02Grievance committee?
03:03What's wrong with it?
03:04It's the American way.
03:06You know, you kids are complaining about the way your mother handles her job.
03:09We weren't complaining.
03:10We were just offering some helpful hints.
03:15Well, maybe it would have helped if you'd seen this first.
03:18What is it?
03:20The latest issue of the Women's Journal.
03:22I'm looking at a miracle.
03:25Mom.
03:27You've been named Mother of the Year.
03:55Mother of the Year.
03:57I can't believe it.
03:58I think it's really terrific.
04:00I don't know what to say.
04:01Well, you better think of something.
04:03You're going to have to say it in front of about a hundred press women.
04:05I am?
04:06Well, the magazine's having its awards dinner next Saturday night in Sacramento.
04:10Whole family's invited.
04:12I already bought the plane tickets.
04:14You know, all kidding aside,
04:15you deserve to be Mother of the Year.
04:17We may not always show it,
04:19but you'd get our vote every time.
04:21Wait a minute.
04:22We didn't get any campaign promises.
04:26All right.
04:27Here's one.
04:29How about a day in the country?
04:31We'll drive to Sacramento.
04:33Sounds great.
04:35Drive.
04:36But I already bought the tickets.
04:38Well, we'll give the Mother of the Year
04:40a chance to spend some time with her grievance committee.
04:49It's beautiful out here, Mom.
04:50Taking the old highway was a great idea.
04:52Yeah, this part of the country is where people really live the good life.
04:56Fantastic.
04:57What do you think, Danny?
04:57I'm hungry.
04:59Okay.
05:00There are lots of places to eat on this old road.
05:02Next stop, lunch.
05:06That's terrific.
05:07The road work ends, and so does the road.
05:10So, we've only wasted an hour.
05:12We still have plenty of time and plenty of things to see.
05:16I'd like to see a triple burger with lots of onions and plenty of french fries.
05:20I think we all can go for a little lunch.
05:22Good idea.
05:23We'll stop at one of those quaint little restaurants.
05:26Two eggs, South Sand, kill the tomato, give me a taco on the side.
05:33Cheer up, Mom.
05:34It may not be quaint, but it's...
05:37It's authentic.
05:38Right now, I wouldn't care if it was the school cafeteria.
05:42I could eat a horse.
05:43Be careful.
05:44That might be their special.
05:46Hold on, Mom.
05:47My billfold.
05:48You'd better eat more than that.
05:49I can't find it.
05:51Oh, no.
05:53I must have left it in my other purse.
05:56Terrific.
05:57That means you don't have any money.
05:58Wait a minute.
05:58Here's some change.
06:0014 cents.
06:03I've got, uh...
06:0718 cents.
06:11One quarter.
06:13Now we're getting somewhere.
06:14Here's our souvenir baseball money.
06:25Come on.
06:26Cough it up.
06:39Figures.
06:40What would you guys do without me?
06:42Do you mind if I answer that after we eat?
06:47How much is that, Mom?
06:48One dollar and 57 cents and two Hank Aaron Nichols.
06:53We don't have anything to worry about.
06:55Just tell Mary Mother of the Year.
06:57Danny, if ever there was a time, I wouldn't want anyone to know that.
07:00It's now.
07:01Okay.
07:03No stew today.
07:04No toast, because the toast is broken.
07:06Don't take the potatoes.
07:07Take the tomatoes instead.
07:08What's your pleasure?
07:11Hey, Mother of the Year?
07:14Mother of the Year, huh?
07:18Yeah, you know, I've seen your picture on the cover of Woman's Journal.
07:21And this must be your family, right?
07:23Hi.
07:24Hi.
07:25I read that article about five times.
07:27That's right, about how good you treat them.
07:29You know, I think it's just wonderful the way you're raising them.
07:32You're so conscientious in everything.
07:35Thanks.
07:36It's my pleasure.
07:37Well, now, what would you like to order for these beautiful, growing, healthy children, huh?
07:44One plain hamburger, a cherry soda, and six straws.
07:53That's it?
07:58Mother of the Year, huh?
08:09No dessert, huh?
08:11Thank you, sir.
08:12No, thank you.
08:14And, uh, I'm sorry.
08:16All I have left for a tip is 11 cents.
08:20Many of the rest.
08:24Just a minute, here.
08:26Here, take this for a bowl of hot soup later.
08:28Wait a minute.
08:29Take these for the little ones.
08:32Here.
08:33Poor dears.
08:34Go ahead.
08:35Go ahead.
08:37She runs next year.
08:39She don't get my vote.
08:45If I hadn't been dying of hunger, I would have died of embarrassment.
08:48I got a great idea.
08:50Let's not stop again until we get to the hotel.
08:52Agree.
09:05Kids, I think we're going to have to make one more stop.
09:19Hi, there.
09:20I'm Deputy Haney.
09:22Welcome to Crater City.
09:23How do you do?
09:24You mean you stopped us just to welcome us to town?
09:27No.
09:28I stopped to give you a speeding ticket.
09:30Speeding?
09:31But I was going slower than the speed limit.
09:33Oh.
09:34Suppose you didn't see that 20 sign back there?
09:36No, I didn't.
09:38It must have been hidden by the trees.
09:40Yeah, that's right.
09:41You know the people I stopped complaining about that?
09:43Mom, I think this is a speed trap.
09:45You can call it what you want, but you still get a ticket.
09:48That's not fair.
09:50Yeah, it doesn't have to be fair.
09:51That's the law.
09:55Are you folks really the Partridge family?
09:58I mean, the ones that make those records and everything?
10:01Yes.
10:02Really?
10:03Really.
10:05Boy, celebrities right here in Crater City.
10:11Well, I suppose that means you'll forget about the ticket then, huh?
10:15No.
10:16This is the first ticket I ever wrote for a celebrity.
10:19Can I have your autograph?
10:21I'm not going to sign that.
10:24Well, if you don't, that means I'm going to have to take you to see the judge.
10:27Well, you just do that.
10:30Mom, it's getting late.
10:32We have to get going.
10:33It's never too late for justice.
11:01Well, here we are.
11:04Daddy, you stay with Chris and Tracy.
11:07But, Mom, you might need my legal know-how.
11:09I don't need any legal know-how.
11:11I'm innocent.
11:14Well, y'all just go right on in and make yourselves home.
11:17I'll see if I can find a judge.
11:20Keith, if things get rough, use it.
11:38What is it, Andy?
11:39I'm on my way fishing.
11:40Judge, I've got a speeder out front.
11:42What in turn is it you bring him here for?
11:44Just tell him he's fine, get his money, and let me go fishing.
11:47Judge, these are show business folks.
11:49What do you want me to do?
11:51Cast your feet in the cement?
11:53Show business folks make a lot of money.
11:56That means they can pay bigger fines.
12:00That's why I like you, Katie.
12:02You think like me.
12:06Mom, why don't we just pay the fine and go?
12:09Because it's the principle of the thing and a good lesson for you kids.
12:12Stick up for your rights.
12:13I still say it would be a lot easier if you would just tell them that you're the mother of
12:17the year and...
12:18The court is now in session.
12:20This here is Judge McElreath.
12:23Judge, the Partridge family.
12:25Mrs. Partridge, this is indeed a pleasure.
12:27I was in my study going over Lindley versus Fairbanks.
12:30I gladly take time out of my day to see that persons such as you are treated fairly.
12:46Well, Mrs. Partridge, what seems to be your problem?
12:50We were given a ticket by this man.
12:52Oh, Deputy Haney?
12:53Yes, he's a fine officer.
12:56But it was an unfair ticket.
12:58I didn't do anything wrong.
13:00I didn't do anything wrong.
13:06Yeah, see here, there was a sign that said the speed limit was considerably less than the speed you were
13:11driving.
13:12But I didn't see the sign.
13:13It was hidden behind...
13:14Mrs. Partridge, the law is the law.
13:18That'll be $15 fine for speeding,
13:22$10 for gas and oil.
13:23Gas and oil for what?
13:25For the wear and the tear on the police car that brought you all here.
13:28It all comes at exactly $35.
13:31You can pay the bailiff.
13:32I'm the bailiff.
13:34I will not.
13:35But you have to.
13:37I'm the bailiff.
13:38I mean, I will not pay that fine.
13:40I'm afraid you have no other choice.
13:42It's either that or go to jail.
13:44Then I'll go to jail.
13:45Mom, wait a minute.
13:47You can't put the mother of the year in jail.
13:50Keith.
13:50Mother of the year.
13:51That's right.
13:52Mother of the year.
13:53Right here.
13:54See that?
13:56Excuse us.
14:00We can't throw the mother of the year in jail.
14:03But Judge, the mother of the year got a ticket.
14:05You realize what'll happen to me at the next election?
14:06There's not a woman in town who'll let her husband vote for me.
14:09Judge.
14:09If I go, you go.
14:15Now, Miss Partridge, surely we can work this thing out.
14:20Oh, we'll take a check.
14:21I don't have one.
14:23How about an I.O.U.?
14:24Forget it.
14:26Uh, I'll take 50% off.
14:28After all, you're mother of the year.
14:30Never.
14:30Okay, okay.
14:31No fine.
14:32Just sign the ticket and you can go.
14:34I won't sign anything.
14:36That isn't asking much.
14:37Just a signature.
14:38I'd rather go to jail.
14:44There.
14:45You win.
14:46I lose.
14:46Case dismissed.
14:48Judge.
14:48Oh, shut up, Annie.
14:49Go prune your tree.
14:59Well, all is lost.
15:01At least we can still get to the hotel in time for dinner.
15:03Right.
15:06You're wrong.
15:08Oh, no.
15:09How could we run out of gas?
15:11Easy.
15:12We're having so much fun, it slipped our minds.
15:17No.
15:34Well, now what are we going to do?
15:36We could form a prayer circle.
15:38I guess we ought to stop a car.
15:41Are you kidding?
15:42I haven't seen five cars on this road all day.
15:44Don't worry.
15:45I'm sure there'll be a car along soon.
16:01Hey, Mom, here comes a car.
16:06Hold it.
16:07Stop.
16:12Hi, honey.
16:13Need a lift?
16:14I sure do.
16:15Well, hop in, baby, and let the good times roll.
16:19Come on, kids.
16:20Hold on to him.
16:21Don't let him go.
16:22Nice going, Mom.
16:24Mom.
16:26Wait.
16:28What happened?
16:30I don't think he was interested in the family plan.
16:34There's another one.
16:43Hold it, please.
16:56Hold it, please.
17:06We need gas.
17:07I don't have any money.
17:09There are six of us.
17:10Five are children.
17:12Three are very small children.
17:15Please.
17:17I'm the mother of the year.
17:28Okay, everybody, into the bus.
17:33Tracy, Chris.
17:37Where in the world have you been?
17:39Danny found this great place to play.
17:42Danny?
17:43Where is he, anyway?
17:46Mr. Kincaid, are you sure Mrs. Partridge knew the dinner was tonight?
17:50Oh, I'm sure, Mrs. Malfouse.
17:52See, they were probably having so much fun on the drive down, they just lost track of the time.
17:57You know how it is when you're having fun.
17:59No, I don't.
18:03Psst.
18:10Psst.
18:11Psst.
18:11Ruben.
18:12Shirley?
18:14How did you know my first name?
18:16Oh, just a guess.
18:20Just a guess.
18:22Psst.
18:24Where are you?
18:25Back here.
18:28Excuse me.
18:29Excuse me.
18:39Oh.
18:42What happened?
18:44You look like you just finished basic training.
18:47Ruben, it's a long story.
18:49And you wouldn't believe it anyway.
18:51I've already told them we were here, so we're going to go upstairs to the room and change.
18:55How...
18:55I'll stall.
18:57Here she is, Shirley Partridge.
19:14Mother of the Year.
19:16Mother of the Year.
19:16We can all talk.
19:24Thank you very much.
19:27Well, I guess you're all wondering why I look this way.
19:32It's a good question.
19:34It's a...
19:37It is a good question.
19:38It's...
19:39It's a question that deserves an answer.
19:42And, uh...
19:43I think Mom's in a spot.
19:45Good thinking.
19:49I...
19:50I wish I...
19:54I wish I could...
19:57Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.
19:58I think it might be a little easier for... for me to explain.
20:02You see, we're a very close family.
20:05That's not to say that we don't have arguments, because we do.
20:10But we love each other very much.
20:13And that keeps us together through thick and thin.
20:19And believe me, today it was through thick.
20:27Um, I'd like you to meet the... the rest of my family.
20:32Lori, Danny, Chris and Tracy.
20:37We just wanted you to know...
20:39That as far as we're concerned...
20:42You couldn't have made a finer choice for Mother of the Year.
20:47She's a great, great lady.
21:11Now, if you'll excuse us, uh...
21:13We'll go change and sing for you.
21:16I... I don't know about the rest of you...
21:19But I think our Mother of the Year and her family look fine.
21:22Just the way they are.
21:34What are you doing?
21:35Without further ado...
21:36I would like to present...
21:38Not only the Mother of the Year...
21:40But the Family of the Year.
21:42The Partridge Family.
21:50With Honk.
22:19.
22:49.
23:19.
23:19.
23:19.
23:19.
23:19.
23:19.
23:19.
23:20.
23:30.
23:31.
23:31.
23:32.
23:48Well, go ahead.
23:50I can take criticism.
23:52In fact, I want you to feel free to make any suggestions you wish.
23:57That is, within reason, of course.
23:59Well, uh, this isn't a grievance committee, Mom.
24:03It isn't?
24:05Uh, not exactly.
24:06You see, um, we're gonna present you with another award.
24:11Tracy?
24:17Year's Worst Tour Guide.
24:21Thank you, thank you very much,
24:24and I wish to thank all of the little people who made this possible.
24:30Hi, Roger.
24:32Yeah.
24:33If the, uh, grievance committee is back in session,
24:37I'd like to state a complaint.
24:38You've got the floor.
24:40Hmm.
24:40I drove back along your mother's scenic route.
24:45Did you know there was a speed trap on that highway?
24:48No kidding.
24:49Yeah, I got hauled in.
24:51By a deputy named Haney?
24:53And did the judge have a little, uh, fishing hat?
24:57And when they found out you were the manager of the Partridge family,
25:00they raised the fine, right?
25:03How'd you know that?
25:05Oh, a wild guess.
25:07Yes!
25:10No kidding.
25:16This is not a wild guess.
25:17Oh, a wild guess.
25:20Oh, a wild guess.
25:50Any sign back there?
25:52No, I didn't.
25:53It must have been hidden by the trees.
25:55Yeah, that's right.
25:56Do you know the people I stop complaining about that?
25:58Mom, I think this is a speed trap.
26:00You can call it what you want.
26:02You still get a ticket.
26:03That's not fair.
26:05Yeah, it doesn't have to be fair.
26:06That's the law.
26:09Are you folks really the Partridge family?
26:13I mean, the ones that make those records and everything?
26:16Yes.
26:17Really?
26:17Really.
26:20Boy, celebrities right here in Craneson.
26:26Well, I suppose that means you'll forget about the ticket then, huh?
26:29No.
26:31Well, this is the first ticket I ever wrote for a celebrity.
26:34Uh, can I have your autograph?
26:36I'm not going to sign that.
26:38Well, if you don't, that means I'm going to have to take you to see the judge.
26:42Well, you just do that.
26:45Mom, it's getting late.
26:46We have to get going.
26:48It's never too late for justice.
27:15Well, here we are.
27:19Daddy, you stay with Chris and Tracy.
27:21But, Mom, you might need my legal know-how.
27:24I don't need any legal know-how.
27:26I'm innocent.
27:28Uh, well, y'all just go right on in and make yourselves home.
27:32I'll see if I can find a judge.
27:35Keith, if things get rough, use it.
27:52Judge, what is it, ain't he?
27:53I'm on my way fishing.
27:55Judge, I got a speeder out front.
27:56What in tarnation did you bring him here for?
27:59Just tell him he's fine, get his money, and let me go fishing.
28:02Judge, these are show business folk.
28:04What do you want me to do?
28:06Cast your feet in the cement?
28:08Show business folk make a lot of money.
28:11That means they can pay bigger fines.
28:15That's why I like you, Katie.
28:16You think like me.
28:21Mom, why don't we just pay the fine and go?
28:24Because it's the principle of the thing, and a good lesson for you kids.
28:27Stick up for your rights.
28:28I still say it would be a lot easier if you would just tell them that you're the mother of
28:32the year.
28:32Keith.
28:33The court is now in session.
28:35This here is Judge McElreath.
28:37Judge, the Partridge family.
28:39Mrs. Partridge, this is indeed a pleasure.
28:42I was in my study going over Lindley versus Fairbanks.
28:45I gladly take time out of my day to see that persons such as you are treated fairly.
29:01Now, Mrs. Partridge, what's...
29:12Well, in the summer, when I sing it.
29:15Come on, get it happy.
29:19You want my love in this moment when we break it?
29:23So we make you happy.
29:27So you want to take me out of the dream?
29:30We close you.
29:30We're good to see.
29:31We have a little love in it.
29:33Keep in love.
29:35Something always happens when we break it.
30:07I suppose you all know why we're all here.
30:10I don't know why we're all here.
30:13Neither do I.
30:14It's okay. Just go with the crowd.
30:18Well, Mom's on her way.
30:21You know, I'll have to admit, this might be one of your better ideas.
30:24Well, personally, I don't see why we had to form a grievance committee.
30:28I mean, why couldn't we just go to Mom individually with our complaints?
30:31Like he said, there's strength in numbers.
30:34What's that?
30:35The hot seat.
30:37Okay, here she comes. Everybody take your place.
30:39Remember, the key word is unity.
30:46All right, here I am.
30:49Okay, Danny.
30:51What's all this talk about a grievance committee?
30:53Well, it's...
30:56Take it, Keith.
30:59It was all his idea.
31:01My idea?
31:02You were the one.
31:03Go ahead, Keith.
31:12Well, we were going to demand that...
31:18We were going to ask...
31:24Take it, Laurie.
31:30Um, I was going to demand, that is, question your rule about having to get home from dates at a
31:37certain time.
31:39But it's a good rule.
31:40I don't get enough sleep anyway.
31:46Danny, surely you have something to complain about.
31:50Who, me?
31:51I thought we were here to rehearse.
31:57Hi, everybody.
31:58Oh, what's going on?
32:00Well, it looks like a court-martial.
32:01The grievance committee is copping out.
32:05Grievance committee?
32:06What's wrong with it?
32:07It's the American way.
32:08You know, you kids are complaining about the way your mother handles her job.
32:12We weren't complaining.
32:13We were just offering some helpful hints.
32:18Well, maybe it would have helped if you'd seen this first.
32:21What is it?
32:22The latest issue of the Women's Journal.
32:25I'm looking at a miracle.
32:28Mom.
32:30You've been named Mother of the Year.
32:58Mother of the Year.
33:00I can't believe it.
33:01I think it's really terrific.
33:03I don't know what to say.
33:04Well, you better think of something.
33:06You're going to have to say it in front of about a hundred press women.
33:08I am?
33:09Well, the magazine's having its awards dinner next Saturday night in Sacramento.
33:13Whole family's invited.
33:14I already bought the plane tickets.
33:16You know, all kidding aside, you deserve to be Mother of the Year.
33:20We may not always show it, but you'd get our vote every time.
33:23Wait a minute.
33:25We didn't get any campaign promises.
33:29All right.
33:30Here's one.
33:32How about a day in the country?
33:34We'll drive to Sacramento.
33:36Sounds great.
33:37Drive.
33:38But I already bought the tickets.
33:40Well, we'll give the Mother of the Year a chance to spend some time with her grievance committee.
33:51It's beautiful out here, Mom.
33:53Taking the old highway was a great idea.
33:55Yeah, this part of the country is where people really live the good life.
33:59Fantastic.
33:59What do you think, Danny?
34:00I'm hungry.
34:02Okay.
34:02There are lots of places to eat on this old road.
34:05Next stop, lunch.
34:09That's terrific.
34:10The road work ends, and so does the road.
34:13So, we've only wasted an hour.
34:15We still have plenty of time and plenty of things to see.
34:18I'd like to see a triple burger with lots of onions and plenty of french fries.
34:23I think we all can go for a little lunch.
34:25Good idea.
34:26We'll stop at one of those quaint little restaurants.
34:28Two eggs, South Sand, kill the tomato, give me a taco on the side.
34:36Cheer up, Mom.
34:37It may not be quaint, but it's authentic.
34:41Right now, I wouldn't care if it was the school cafeteria.
34:44I could eat a horse.
34:46Be careful.
34:46That might be their special.
34:49Come on, Mom.
34:50My billfold.
34:51You'd better eat more than that.
34:52I can't find it.
34:54Oh, no.
34:56I must have left it in my other purse.
34:59Terrific.
34:59That means you don't have any money.
35:01Wait a minute.
35:01Here's some change.
35:03Fourteen cents.
35:06I've got, uh...
35:10Eighteen cents.
35:13One quarter.
35:15Now we're getting somewhere.
35:17Here's our souvenir baseball money.
35:26Seems to be a problem.
35:28We were given a ticket by this man.
35:31Oh, Deputy Haney?
35:32Yes, he's a fine officer.
35:35But it was an unfair ticket.
35:37I didn't do anything wrong.
35:45Yeah, I see here there was a sign that said the speed limit was considerably less than the speed you
35:50were driving.
35:50But I didn't see the sign.
35:52But I didn't see the sign.
35:52It was hidden behind...
35:53Mrs. Partridge, the law is the law.
35:57That'll be $15 fine for speeding, $10 for gas and oil.
36:02Gas and oil for what?
36:04For the wear and the tear on the police car that brought you all here.
36:07Oh, it comes at exactly $35.
36:10You can pay the bailiff.
36:11Keith, I'm the bailiff.
36:13I will not.
36:14But you have to.
36:15I'm the bailiff.
36:17I mean, I will not pay that fine.
36:19I'm afraid you have no other choice.
36:21It's either that or go to jail.
36:22Then I'll go to jail.
36:24Mom, wait a minute.
36:26You can't put the mother of the year in jail.
36:28Keith.
36:29Mother of the year.
36:30That's right.
36:31Mother of the year.
36:32Right here.
36:33See that?
36:35Excuse us.
36:39We can't throw the mother of the year in jail.
36:41Judge, the mother of the year got a ticket.
36:43Do you realize what'll happen to me in the next election?
36:45There's not a woman in town.
36:46Let her husband vote for me.
36:47Judge.
36:48If I go, you go.
36:54Now, Miss Partridge, surely we can work this thing out.
36:58Oh, we'll take a check.
37:00I don't have one.
37:01How about an I.O.U.?
37:03Forget it.
37:04Uh, I'll take 50% off.
37:06After all, you're mother of the year.
37:08Never.
37:09Okay, okay, no fine.
37:11Just sign the ticket and you can go.
37:12I won't sign anything.
37:15That isn't asking much.
37:16Just a signature.
37:17I'd rather go to jail.
37:23There.
37:24You win.
37:24I lose.
37:25Case dismissed.
37:26Judge.
37:27Oh, shut up, Annie.
37:28Go prune your tree.
37:38Well, all is lost.
37:40At least we can still get to the hotel in time for dinner.
37:42Right.
37:45Wrong.
37:47Oh, no.
37:48How could we run out of gas?
37:50Easy.
37:51We're having so much fun, it slipped our minds.
38:13Well, now what are we going to do?
38:15We could form a prayer circle.
38:17I guess we ought to stop a car.
38:20Are you kidding?
38:20I haven't seen five cars on this road all day.
38:23Don't worry.
38:24I'm sure there'll be a car along soon.
38:40Come on, cough it up.
38:54Figures.
38:55What would you guys do without me?
38:57Do you mind if I answer that after we eat?
39:01How much is that, Mom?
39:03One dollar and fifty-seven cents and two Hank Aaron nickels.
39:07We don't have anything to worry about.
39:10Just tell me your mother of the year.
39:11Danny, if ever there was a time, I wouldn't want anyone to know that.
39:15It's now.
39:16Okay.
39:18No stew today.
39:19No toast because the toast is broken.
39:21Don't take the potatoes, take the tomatoes instead.
39:23What's your pleasure?
39:26Hey.
39:27Mother of the year?
39:29Mother of the year, huh?
39:32Yeah, you know, I've seen your picture on the cover of Woman's Journal.
39:36And this must be your family, right?
39:38Hi.
39:39Hi.
39:39I read that article about five times.
39:42That's right, about how good you treat them.
39:43You know, I think it's just wonderful the way you're raising them.
39:47You're so conscientious in everything.
39:50Thanks.
39:51It's my pleasure.
39:52Well, now, what would you like to order for these beautiful, growing, healthy children, huh?
39:59One plain hamburger, a cherry soda, and six straws.
40:07That's it?
40:13Mother of the year, huh?
40:15Okay.
40:24No dessert, huh?
40:26Thank you, sir.
40:27No, thank you.
40:29And, uh, I'm sorry.
40:31All I have left for a tip is 11 cents.
40:35Many of the rest.
40:38Just a minute, here.
40:40Here, take this for a bowl of hot soup later.
40:43Wait a minute.
40:44Take these for the little ones.
40:47Here.
40:48Poor dears.
40:49Go ahead.
40:49Go ahead.
40:52She runs next year.
40:53She don't get my vote.
40:59If I hadn't been dying of hunger, I would have died of embarrassment.
41:03I got a great idea.
41:05Let's not stop again until we get to the hotel.
41:07Agree.
41:20Kids, I think we're gonna have to make one more stop.
41:33Hi, there.
41:35I'm Deputy Haney.
41:36Welcome to Crater City.
41:38How do you do?
41:39You mean you stopped us just to welcome us to town?
41:42No.
41:42I stopped to give you a speeding ticket.
41:44Speeding?
41:46But I was going slower than the speed limit.
41:48Oh, suppose you didn't see that 20?
