i can't stand any more of this. it's enough to drive a person crazy.
i -- i'm sorry. what is it you want?
this is mrs. benson, mr. carpenter. and little bobby. mr. and mrs. barley -- and mr. krull.  i'm mrs. crockett.
well -- this is our little family. i have a very nice room on the second floor.
we mustn't annoy mr. carpenter -- or he won't want to stay here. she goes on into the hall, followed by klaatu, who has exchanged a polite smile with helen.
he's really a dear little boy -- and quiet as a mouse. you're a long way from home, aren't you, mr. carpenter?
oh, i can tell a new england accent a mile away.
mrs. benson -- mr. stevens is here to see you.
going out, dear?
personally, i won't go out after dark these days. but then -- i'm not courting, am i?
oh -- mr. carpenter--!
