程度の副詞

>> Alice [narrating]: It wasn't really a plot against George Peters but I'll admit it might

have looked that way the morning his wife Jane

We had just been in our new house two weeks and I was still ecstatic over everything,

>> Jane: There's only one word for it: terrific.

>> Alice: You know I'm so proud of it it's almost indecent of me.

I can hardly wait to show it off a week from Friday night.

A gal's got a right to enjoy her first housewarming party.

Sure wish I was having one. Having many people?

>> Alice: Well, not a mob if that's what you mean.

Just you, the Crawfords, the Slagles, the Martins, and a couple of others.

And this isn't the first time I've noticed it.

Whatever it is I've got just the cure for it.

There's a sensational sale going on at Watson's.

A new hat would be the ideal tonic for you.

I'm going down this afternoon for a small spree.

>> Jane: I wish I could but it's just impossible.

Remember, I haven't got your dream kitchen to make things easier.

Mine's strictly the nightmare type And I wish George would do something about

All he's done so far as talking and not with any real enthusiasm.

We looked at a couple of older houses but that's no improvement.

If only there was some way of really selling George on the idea.

Freedom from unnecessary drudgery; freedom to go shopping when the urge hits

Besides, my mother's been quite ill in Cleveland and I've been thinking about

>> Alice: Got to get my clothes in the dryer.

I'll show you a couple of my prize beauties.

This setup makes any day wash day for me.

And I can do my drying in any kind of weather: with a gas dryer it couldn't be easier.

>> Jane: I remember seeing this washer in the magazine ad. Automatic too, isn't it?

>> Jane: Isn't there a little colored guide light that follows the operations through

I know exactly what's happening I don't even have to watch a clock.

Wait a minute, you say you're going to visit your mother

You know Janie, my girl, this might prove a very fortunate trip for you.

And just for kicks, don't get too far ahead in your housework.

Now why should you have to lay out everything all nice and ready for George

and Jimmy down to the last egg and can of salmon.

I'd have to make things easy for them. After all...

>> Alice: After all you've been going through this might be the awakening for friend George.

It might do him a world of good to be left all alone with Jimmy for two or

>> Alice [narrating]: Well Jane finally got off the Cleveland still not too certain she

was doing right by leaving George and Jimmy by themselves

even though George was absolutely sure they'd get along just fine.

>>Jane [narrating]: Of course when you leave a man to his own devices

he's apt to think of something fancy like curried chicken with rice.

But in this case George not only should have done a little more thinking about

his recipe, but should have kept his eyes on the stove as well.

Now if he just let his rice simmer instead of boiling.

But frankly, I doubt if George knew how to bring things to a simmer.

Well, maybe it was the mess, or maybe it was just the temperature outside

but George thought he could use a little cooling off.

>> George: What's with that ice tray here?

>> Jimmy: Oh, I guess I forgot to fill it.

>> Alice: Sometime you might ask George how far is a mile.

He would tell you it's the distance from his sink to his backyard garbage pail.

Now like many men tackling a problem, George was very efficient.

The smart way to do dishes was two meals at a time.

>> George: Jimmy! Did you have to take a bath at this time of day?

I haven't got a drop a hot water in the sink!

I'm gonna be here til midnight! What's the matter with you!

>> Alice [narrating]: Jane had been away for all of two and a half days but the way she

was welcomed back by George you'd think she's been gone a month.

>> Jane: Oh, we'll be there early enough.

>> Alice: Look, I still have a couple of little things to do but it'll only take a minute or so.

>> Jane: Ooh, you're famous sweet potato casserole.

>>Alice: Only this time with shredded pineapple instead of orange juice.
