He does, he really does! (EN)
I’m not missing anything good, am I?
Goodness no, darling! Bob’s telling jokes!
Oh, golly! Let me know when it’s over!
(Pause & Laughter)
Hey Millie, where you folks keep your olives?
Icebox
Terrific.
Darling, I do wish you’d let me help.
And reveal my secret recipe? Now stay put, prepare your tastebuds! Six Baxter Specials coming right up!
Oh, you! (EN)

How ‘bout sardines?
No, sorry.
That’s okay, I’ll make do.
Oh, it is! (EN)
Six Baxter Specials, as promised!
… and your lovely wife as new friends.
Hear hear!
… Fine Americans, both of you.
Well, I’m about to bust my buttons. My little woman, a real honest-to-goodness patriot!
Bold. He said bold.
Bold in what way?
… There are other security risks within our ranks.
Golly, no. What kind?
That’s what they call themselves.
No, Mrs. Sunderson, I think that’s the word other people use.
They are far cagier opponent than we realized. Getting around the tests for mental stability.
Perhaps it’s because they’re not unstable.
See you tomorrow Mr. Sunderson.
Good night sir.
… What the hell was that flapdoodle with the handkerchiefs?
You’ve lost me.
Poor pitiful thing.
So, Mrs. Baxter! You and Bob are gonna save America from perverts. Fancy that!
That is what Bob and I do.
You look for Communists. Not homosexuals.
Millie, it’s not even worthy of discussion. It won’t happen.
How do you know nothing’s going to happen?
… Columbia Heights to get my nails done.
And find a butcher. Norma’s right, you should keep your stories simple.
We know, we know. You were in Quebec for the summer (cut)

The young and nubile Professor Pepper. She gave you your first crepe.
She read you French poetry in a private garden (cut)

… You and Bob have your own sofa.
We like yours better. Sometimes when you’re not home we like to come over and get naked on this one. Just to switch things up a bit.
My God, are there stains? Get up right now!
We’re not indecent about it. We put down a towel.
That is repulsive.
Grow up. Sex is messy. Bodies leak things. Think of everything that pours out of your lady parts!
You are so crude!
It’s biology. I’m a teacher. I thought you liked teachers.
That’s it, you two are like children, we are getting a plastic cover.
Bob, about what Sunderson said (cut)
Barbara Granr speaks six languages. The first phrase she learned in each of them was “Don’t get me pregnant.”
Barbara Grant sounds fantastic.
Half of Washington seems to think so.
Let’s have her over.
You boys could help with cleaning up!
That’s woman’s work!
Jimmy Baxter, get up right now, you do not want to get your ass kicked by a dyke!
Are you guys really gonna fire people for this?
Because you’re amazing, and I love you. Boys, go home.
We can take a hint. The sisters of Sappho want to be alone.
