Father Knows Best
1954
Kathy: Aww! Turn Blue.
Bud Anderson: You've been around so long and seen so much and done so much, and still manage to look so good. Jim Anderson: Thanks a lot! Bud Anderson: I think you look real young. Honest. Younger than Joe Phillips' dad, younger than Claude Mesner's uncle, why even younger than... Jim Anderson: Bud, before you have me back in kindergarten, see who's at the door, will you?
Bud Anderson: This is a special delivery for Dad from the Universal Alumni Association. Jim Anderson: I wonder how much money they want now. (Bud is shaking Jim's letter, trying to read it) Why don't you hold it up to the light so you can see it better? Bud Anderson: Never thought of that. (Holds it up to the light) Can't see a thing. Jim Anderson: Bud, as long as it's addressed to me, do you mind letting me have it?
Bud Anderson: How many were in your class, Dad? Jim Anderson: Oh, 2-300 I guess. Bud Anderson: How many are left?
Bud Anderson: I saw your insurance chart once and it says the life expectancy of the average man is... Jim Anderson: Bud, for your information, I look barely in my '40s. That hardly qualifies me for the home for the aged. Yet.
James 'Bud' Anderson, Jr: Boy what a break, sweet and tender. Kathy: You can always depend on me.
Margaret Anderson: Well, I suppose Father knows best.
