David Merlin:
[Reads from a book on raising children, telling Polly how to feed the baby]
After the food is prepared, the mother will, A, get a spoon.
Polly:
Wonderful! How'd he ever think of that?
David Merlin:
Now please, don't be so smart. Just do as he says - get a spoon.
Polly:
[She holds up the spoon she had been using to feed the baby]
Spoon!
David Merlin:
B, take a spoonful of the food and place it upon a piece of gauze... Piece of gauze?
Polly:
What for?
David Merlin:
Uh, please, just do as he says. It's quite possible that man with 20 years experience might know what he's talking about.
David Merlin:
[Polly gets a piece of guaze]
.
David Merlin:
Piece of gauze.
Polly:
[She puts the spoon of baby food on the gauze]
Next?
David Merlin:
Gently rub it in the navel.
[Booth look incredulous]
Polly:
Whaaat?
David Merlin:
Gently rub it into the navel.
Polly:
Well, that's ridiculous.
David Merlin:
No it isn't. It's probably to get the child's stomach accustomed to the temperature of the food. I think it's very logical.
Polly:
I've never heard of such a thing.
David Merlin:
And in the future, all children are going to be brought up like this - successfully.
Polly:
Hmmm, let me look at this.
[She takes the book from David]
David Merlin:
Oh, I read very well. I've been doing it for years.
Polly:
I read a little too.
[She discovers two pages were stuck together]
Polly:

Here we are.

"After the food is prepared,
the mother will, A, get a spoon."
00:00:07.005 --> 00:00:09.007
Wonderful. How did he ever think of that?
00:00:09.008 --> 00:00:13.001
Oh, please, don't be so smart.
Just do as he says. Get a spoon.
00:00:14.003 --> 00:00:15.003
A spoon.

-Piece of gauze?
-What for?

Please, just do as he says.
00:00:26.004 --> 00:00:28.003
Quite possible that a man
with 20 years' experience
00:00:28.004 --> 00:00:30.002
might know what he's talking about.
00:00:31.002 --> 00:00:32.002
Piece of gauze.

"Gently rub into the navel."
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:44.009
What?
00:00:47.006 --> 00:00:49.001
"Gently rub into the navel."
00:00:49.007 --> 00:00:50.009
(COOlNG)
00:00:51.007 --> 00:00:52.009
Well, that's ridiculous.
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.009
No, it isn't.
It's probably to get the child's stomach
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.005
accustomed to the temperature of the food.
I think it's very logical.
00:00:59.003 --> 00:01:01.003
I've never heard of such a thing.
00:01:02.001 --> 00:01:05.001
And in future, all children
are going to be brought up like this.
00:01:05.005 --> 00:01:06.005
Scientifically.
00:01:07.008 --> 00:01:08.001
Well?
00:01:10.007 --> 00:01:12.994
Here, let me look at this.
00:01:12.003 --> 00:01:14.002
I read very well. I've been doing it for years.
00:01:14.003 --> 00:01:15.008
I read a little, too.
00:01:19.008 --> 00:01:21.005
"Take a spoonful of food

"and place on a piece of gauze,
and gently rub into the..."
00:01:27.007 --> 00:01:29.000
You read very well.
00:01:31.001 --> 00:01:33.999
Well, I don't care what it says.
I don't believe it.
00:01:33.007 --> 00:01:35.000
Oh, please.
Don't tell me you know more about it
00:01:35.994 --> 00:01:37.008
than the man with 20 years' experience
and a printed book on the subject.
00:01:37.001 --> 00:01:41.994
Well, I'm certainly not going to
rub any oatmeal into this baby's navel.
00:01:41.005 --> 00:01:43.005
Who does this...Yes.
00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:47.000
Who does this Dr Eagleman or Eaglefoot,
whatever his name is,
00:01:47.994 --> 00:01:48.999
think he is, with such...
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.002
Oh. What do you know about that?
00:02:06.003 --> 00:02:09.994
"To relieve gas on child's stomach,
00:02:09.999 --> 00:02:12.999
"take a spoonful of warm oil and
00:02:12.001 --> 00:02:16.001
"place on a piece of gauze
and gently rub into the navel."
00:02:17.001 --> 00:02:20.000
-I think it's very funny.
-lt certainly is.
00:02:20.994 --> 00:02:22.994
I suppose if it had said,
"Hang baby by neck,"
00:02:22.999 --> 00:02:23.001
you'd have thought it very scientific.
