Modern Farming vs. Traditional Values
Margy Frake
Got a house on it?
Harry Ware
Yeah, but it's too old. We'd have to build a new one.
Margy Frake
Oh, I like old houses.
Harry Ware
Oh, it wouldn't fit in with our kind of farm. You know, I plan to do everything my old man won't let me do on his place. Scientific irrigation. Electric milking. Separate hen roosts. No horses. All tractor power. You see what I mean? Everything modern.
Margy Frake
Ohh... but the house you live in...
Harry Ware
It's got to be the same. No old clapboard shingle business. There is a new kind of plastic, pre-fabricated job. I want you to see it at the catalog home.
Margy Frake
Is it pretty?
Harry Ware
Sure, but what's more important it's termite proof. Wait til you see it. They tell you how to furnish it too. No rugs or carpets, they're just dust collectors.
Margy Frake
What's on the floor?
Harry Ware
Linoleum - through the whole house. Wait until you see the pictures. It's sleek and smooth, easy to keep clean. Well, it's like every room in the house was a bathroom.
Margy Frake
Sounds real cozy...

Wayne?

That's a nice string of pearls. I think I'll have a go at them. Oh, I know they're fakes. but...
Margy Frake
Wayne! What are you doing?
Wayne Frake
How long have you been there?
Margy Frake
Oh, just a little while.
Wayne Frake
Then why didn't you say something, instead of just standing there?
Margy Frake
Who were you talking to? And does Mother know you have her embroidery hoops out here?
Wayne Frake
Look, just leave me alone, will you, and stop prying in other people's affairs?
Margy Frake
Speaking of affairs, Eleanor's on the phone.
Wayne Frake
Eleanor? Well, Christmas, why didn't you tell me?
