It's A Wonderful Life Family Scene Flashcards
[Silent night on piano]
Hello, darling.
What wreath?
The Merry Christmas wreath for the window.
I left it at the office.
Is it snowing?
Yeah, just started.
Where’s your coat and hat?
Left them at the office.
What’s the matter?
Nothing’s the matter. Everything’s all right.
Isn’t it wonderful about Harry?We’re famous, George. I’ll bet I had fifty calls today about the parade, the banquet. You’re mother’s so excited, she…
Can you sing, father?
Better hurry and shave, George. The families will be here soon.
Excuse me…excuse me…
Have a hectic day?
I burped.
All right, darling, you’re excused. Now go upstairs and see what little Zuzu wants.
What’s the matter with Zuzu?
Oh, she got a cold. Caught it coming home from school. They gave her a flower for a prize and she didn’t want to crush it so she didn’t button up her coat.
What is it, a sore throat?
The doctor says it’s nothing serious.
Was the doctor here?
I called him right away.
Is she running a temperature?
Just a teensy one.
Gosh, it’s this old house. I don’t know why we don’t all have pneumonia. This drafty old barn! Might as well be living in a refrigerator! Why did we have to live here in the first place and stay in this measly, crummy old town?
George, what’s wrong?
I don’t know. Ask your mother.
Where are you going?
Telephone!
I’ll get it. Hello. Yes, this is Mrs. Bailey. Oh, thank you, Mrs. Welch. The doctor says she’ll be out of bed in time for her Christmas dinner.
Is that Zuzu’s teacher?
Yes.
Let me speak to her. Hello, Mrs. Welch? This is George Bailey. Say, what kind of teacher are you anyway? What do you mean sending her home like that, half naked?
George!
Is this the sort of thing we pay taxes for-to have teachers like you? Silly careless people who send their kids home without any clothes on? Aw, that…
Hello, Mrs. Welch. I want to apologize…hello…hello…She hung up.
Wait a minute. Hello? Who is this? Oh, Mr. Welch! Okay, that’s fine Mr. Welch. Gives me a chance to tell you what I really think of your wife.
George…
What do you think I am, a dictionary? Janie, haven’t you learned that silly tune yet? You’ve played it over and over again. Now stop it! Stop it!
George! What are you doing?!
Oh, father…
George, why must you torture the children? Why don’t you…
Where’s father going?
Bedford two-four-seven, please.
Is father in trouble?
Yes, Pete.
Shall I pray for him?
Yes, Janie, pray very hard.
Me, too?
You too, Tommy. Hello, Uncle Billy?
