The Honeymooners1955
Alice:
Thelma, what my husband meant was he just wants to explain your duties to you.
Thelma:
Oh, yeah, what I gotta do. And I might as well tell you right now: I can't do no heavy work. I'm sickly.
Ralph:
Sickly? Well, first of all, you'll have to go to the market. Then you'll have to cook, scrub the floors...
Thelma:
I don't scrub no floors!
Alice:
You're so right, Thelma. My husband will be glad to scrub the floors.
Ralph:
Now wait a minute!
Thelma:
You'll scrub the floor!. That's a man's work.
Ralph:
Just a minute. Who's doing the hiring here? All right, Alice, it's all off!
Alice:
Oh, no, Ralph, I'm not giving up my career. So it's either Thelma or you.
Thelma:
And I might as well tell you somethin' else, right now: I get Thursdays and Sundays off, see? My work is through the minute the supper dishes are done. I don't work in no house where they got no pets, so you might as well get rid of one if you got one. If you're gonna have a party, I get time-and-a-half over and the next day off. And, uh, if you're planning on having any late snacks, I don't do no cleaning up the next morning. And this boy looks like he has plenty of late snacks.
