s plenty of fireworks there.
The "Russian Revolution,"
clash of the colors, the reds and whites.
Mr. Poppins, you've hit on something brilliant.
I don't understand.
A letter for me? Must be some mistake.
It had your name on it.
Where is it?
- I don't know. Where's Grandpa's letter?
- What, dear?
I said, where's that letter
that came for Grandpa last week?
Last week?
I don't know.
I remember seeing the kittens with it.
- Who was it from? Did you notice?
- The United States Government.
Really? I wonder what they want.
There was one before that
that came from the same people.
I can't imagine
what they'd be writing to me for.
It seems to me, that you could put your printing
to some practical use.
Wait a minute.
I've got another idea.
- That wasn't very loud, was it?
- We can get it louder than that.
What is your idea, Mr. Poppins?
- Well, may i tell it?
- Yes.
Go back to work, Jim. Go back to work.
Why shouldn't Ed print something about fireworks
and put it in the candy boxes?
That would advertise the Revolution,
wouldn't it?
Say, "Watch for the Revolution.
It's coming soon." How's that?
"Watch for the Revolution.
It's coming soon." I can use my big type.
We've got plenty of these Red Flags.
You can write about them.
The Red Flag will sweep the country.
"Get your Red Flag from Sycamore."
Ed made up a beautiful song today by Chopin.
Hello, Miss Alice.
Anybody get hurt when the ceiling fell in?
"Forks on the left, forks on the left, Rheba"
"Get your Red Flag from Sycamore."
How does it sound, Alice?
Gather around, everybody.
It's the town crier.
- The town crier.
- What is it?
Gather around, everybody.
Where's Grandpa?
I have an announcement to make.
- What is it?
- A young gentleman is calling for me.
Is that all, Alice?
- Oh, wait a minute, maybe he's a special young gentleman.
- You may go to the head of the class.
What's special about him?
Has he got horns or something?
- Maybe he's handsome like Ed.
- I'd better put a tie on.
- Where'd you meet him?
- Better set another place.
No. Mother, we're going out.
I thought he'd better take you in easy doses.
Mother, please don't read any of your plays
to him the first time he comes...
...because i like him.
Essie, i wouldn't dance for him
if i were you...
...because we're going
to the Monte Carlo Ballet later.
- Anybody know what time it is?
- It was 5:00 about two hours ago, wasn't it?
Oh, never mind.
- Where's Grandpa?
- He's upstairs.
Incidentally, the young man's name is Tony Kirby.
Let me know the minute he comes.
Tony Kirby? Say, that's the boss' son.
Really?
Yes, and she told me
they've just made him vice president.
Isn't that wonderful?
We could have the wedding right here
in this room.
Now, wait a minute, Penny.
- This is the first time he's called for the girl.
- You only called for me once.
- Young folks are different nowadays.
- I don't know. Look at Ed and me.
He came to dinner once and just stayed.
That's right.
The whole Alabama football team
would have stayed, too...
...if you'd had 10 more Essies.
How am i doing, Essie?
Well, there's a lot of fuss being made
about a young man taking you out to dinner.
Well, there's a lot of fuss being made
about a young man taking you out to dinner.
What's so exciting about that?
- A proposal is exciting.
- Proposal!
That's something very different.
Move over there and give me some room.
Stop messing with that package.
And let's get down to cases.
In love, huh?
Well, well, i...
"Well, i," my foot.
Either you are or you aren't.
Let me look at your eyes.
Yes, of course.
Now, come on, tell me all about it.
What kind of a boy is he?
Do you have fun together?
That's no answer to any question.
Is he nice?
- Can't even talk about him, can you?
- Not rationally.
Who's asking you to be rational?
Listen...
...when i was courting your grandmother,
it took me two years to propose.
You know why?
The moment she'd walk
