Well, our water commissioner is a man who takes his honors and responsibilities seriously. His favorite honor is being president of the Jolly Boys Club, and he doesn't like it one bit when one of the members threatens not to show up at a meeting. That's why he's making an early morning call on Floyd, the barber. Hello, Floyd. Oh, hi, Commissioner. How are the new twins at your house? You got names for them yet? No, not yet, Floyd, but all our friends are working on it. That's good. Hop right up in the chair and I'll give you the works. Yeah, I didn't come in to have anything done, Floyd. Okay, but since you're the water commissioner, I thought you'd want the works. No, not this time. I... Thought you might be stepping out tonight. Floyd, I don't make dates on nights we have Jolly Boys meetings. Oh, so that's why you dropped in? Yes. I hear you aren't coming tonight. Nope, can't make it, Commissioner. Gotta make out my income tax. Your income tax? On March 14th? That doesn't leave you much time. Well, I ain't got much income. Floyd, you can do that today between customers. So far, I got no customers to do it between. Floyd, don't forget you're a spree decor. Why, is that a deduction? No, that's loyalty to the Jolly Boys Club. These meetings are important. Well, Uncle Sam don't know that. There's two things little Floydie Munson does, Commissioner. Salute the flag and pay his taxes. Well, good for you, Floyd. But if you try, how about you can attend the meeting tonight? Yeah, I'm a busy man but you don't catch me skipping a Jolly Boys meeting. Well, I... I don't know what I'd do without the Jolly Boys. I'd never let them down. I value the association too much. You will have a lot of fun tonight, Floyd. Good fellows, getting together, singing a rousing song. Yeah, you can't beat it. Then you'll come, Floyd. Well, I'll total up my tax and then see if I feel like singing. Good. See you tonight. You'll just leave you're a fine president. For lunch too? Well, I might eat while I'm here. I really came home for a letter. Birdie Phones said I had a special delivery. Oh yeah, it's from a woman. Leroy, how do you know? I smell the envelope. It's loaded with perfume. Oh, where is it? I put it over by the open window. You're wrong. Yeah, I wonder who'd be sending me perfume letters. Oh, hello, Anki. Hello, Marjorie. There's a letter for you. Yeah, I have it right here, my dear. It's pink. Yeah, I see. And loaded with perfume. Yeah, all right, Leroy. Say it is. Who's it from, Anki? Yeah, who's it from? No, Leroy, this letter's addressed to me. I know. Who's it from? Well, I don't recognize the handwriting. Who do you know that writes? Oh, my goodness. Excuse me, children. Oh, where are you going? Well, if you don't mind, I'm going in my study and read this letter. God. What a family. I don't blame them, though. I'm curious myself. Back handwriting, modernistic style. You'd better see who it's from first. Well, Katie Lee, the little showgirl I held the umbrella for that day in the rain. Yeah, I'll never forget when she took me backstage at the Palace Theater and dried my coat and sang the girl in the wood. Just for me. I wonder why she's writing. Dear Throckmorton, remember me? Visit to let you know I'll be in Somerville the night of March 14th. Say, that's tonight. Yeah, I'll arrive at 7.30 and we'll only have a few hours between trains but I'd love to see you, Katie Lee. She'd love to see me. What a girl. You wait a minute, you'll just leave. You can't meet that train. You have a Jolly Boys meeting. Well, I can call off the meeting. I'm president. No. Not after what I told Floyd about the loyal leader of the club. You'll just leave. You'll just have to forget her. I better go back to the barbershop and get the works. Are you right, Commish? Shave, haircut, shampoo and massage? Yes, right, Floyd. All for the meeting tonight? Well, as a matter of fact. You do think a lot of us Jolly Boys, don't you? Yeah, well, Floyd. What's the matter, Commish? Well, you see, that is, I won't be there. What's this, Mr. President? You know, Floyd, something has come up. Yeah? Well, what about that line you were giving me this morning about attending meetings? Well... I made out my income tax so fast I don't even get a rebate. All says I could be a Jolly Boy tonight. Well, I'm sorry, Floyd, but this is an unusual situation. I'm listening. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Hi, a judge. Come on in. I got a welcher in the chair. Floyd! Hello, Gildy. Hello, Judge. What's this about a welcher, Floyd? Nothing, Judge. Now, hurry up, Floyd. Sure, I'll hurry it up. Be the fastest shaved shampoo, massage, and haircut you ever got. Pull your ears in. You watch it, Floyd. Well... Are you getting all that just for the meeting tonight, Gildy? My! What a pretty president we'll have. Well, Horace... He ain't coming to the meeting tonight. You're not, Gildy. Why can't you attend? Now, Judge, it isn't something I feel I have to explain. When we can't attend, you ask us to explain? Well, I'm the president. And the president can do anything he wants to do. Well, the Congress ain't with you. Oh, my goodness. But you reminded all of us of the meeting. Don't you think an explanation is in order, Gildy? Well, I have to meet a train. Oh, why? Well, you got a letter that a friend's coming to town. You can't let a friend down. Get him, Floyd. Coming around the back. You, Floyd, watch those scissors. Sure. Floyd, I'm sure if we had a friend coming in on the train, we'd feel obligated to meet him. Him? Oh, yes. I'm sure Gildy has the best interests of the Jolly Boys at heart. Well, that's what he said this morning. So I suggest we give our president a vote of confidence and wish him a pleasant evening with his friend. You thank you, Judge. Floyd? OK, Commissioner. Yeah, thanks, Floyd. Right, George, you Jolly Boys are true blue. I guess I had you wrong, Commissioner. But the way you're getting gussied up here, I figured you were throwing us over for a dame. Floyd, you ought to know me better than that. You dropped something, Floyd. Huh? There's a letter under the chair. I didn't have no letter. Hand it to me, Judge, please. Well, a pink envelope. Judge, hand it over. And perfumed. No kidding. So that's the letter you got, huh, Mr. Gildy Sleeve? No, Floyd. Gildy. But, Judge. Got a chair. You're through. Floyd, you can't turn me out with half a haircut. Why not, Gildy? You can keep your girl. You can keep your trim side toward the train. Hand it over. Yeah, I wonder why they call this club the Jolly Boys. The Great Gildy Sleeve returns after this important announcement. Here are real prizes for you.

If you were torn between meeting your cronies at the Jolly Boys Club or meeting a charming woman between trains, what would you do? Well, that's just what the Great Gilders leave there. Hello? Hello? The default? Is it 7.30 still on time? Yeah, thank you very much. Keep it that way. Goodbye. Birdie? Oh, Birdie. Is the trains on time? Miss Lee and I might like some hot cocoa tonight. Oh, you inviting Miss Lee over here, Anki? Well, Margie, she won't want to sit around the depot after being on a train so long. You won't want to sit around the depot either, will you, Mr. Giller Slave? Well, you know how it is, Bronco. Yeah, I know how it is. Don't I, Marge, honey? Oh, Bronco. Shouldn't you kids be getting ready for the movie? You want to be out of the house by 7.30? Yeah, I mean at the movie. I don't know, Mr. Gilders Slave. You want to see Bronco? Maybe we shouldn't go out tonight. Bronco? What do you think, Marge? Well, now that we have the twins, maybe we should stay home and save our money. You're right, you can't stay home. And don't let saving money bother you here. Here's $2. Here's $5. Oh, no, no, Mr. Gilders Slave. Now, we can't let you pay our way. Besides, I don't want to spend an evening away from my son and daughter. But Birdie wants to take care of them. And you two haven't been out. This is the night to go out, believe me. Well, I think we'll stay home. Oh, my goodness. Look at it this way. You still haven't named the twins. You may get some suggestions from the movie. Why don't you go see Born Yesterday? Well, that's an idea, Marge. Let's go. All right, darling. That was tough. Yeah, Leroy, you're going to the movies with Margo and Bronco. I am? Get your coat, Leroy. Sure, but what's going on? What's going on? Leroy, you're going to the movies. Now get going. Okay. I'd better get started, too. Bronco, get my coat. I've got to be at the train by 7.30. And the monium. Gilders Slave. What can I do for you tonight? I'm in a hurry, Phoebe. I'm on my way to the train. Leaving town? No, Phoebe. You thought you might be leaving town after what Floyd and the judge had to say about you? You know, Phoebe, I'm sorry I can't be at the meeting tonight. Mr. Gilders Slave, it doesn't make any difference to me if you're not there. You doesn't? If you're not at the Jolly Boys meeting, I'll get the same lead. There is a tavern in the town. All right, Phoebe. Yeah, I'm in a hurry. I want to buy something. Oh, well, I'll shut up then. Phoebe, I want some perfume for a young lady. You don't say. Yeah, take a sniff of this letter. Now it's like it came from the city. You're big, Phoebe. Yeah, I'd like to present her with a bottle of this when she gets off the train. Well, I wouldn't let her open it too close to the engine, Mr. Gilders Slave. She might blow up the depot. Yeah, how about it, Phoebe? How much is an ounce? I don't know. I don't have any. Yofer, you know, I have to give her something, Phoebe. Well, we have the chocolate-covered cherries and bun buns. Well, give me the biggest box of bun buns you have, Phoebe. You can charge it in very well. Say, 7.25. I have to be going. Well, don't forget your letter. Yo, thanks. Just a minute. Mr. Gilders Slave, I think I'll get my hat and go with you. You will not. Gilders Slave, when she gets off the train, be cool and collected. Let her look around for you for a little while, and just casually saunter up and say, Good evening, Miss Lee. How nice to see you again. Say, there she is. There she is. Katie, Katie, over here. Stop, Morgan. Yeah, I'm coming. Pardon me, Natalie. Yeah, Miss. Oh, he's coming through. I have to help the lady with the guitar. You're welcome to my little home. Oh, isn't this attractive? You have nothing elaborate. But the city official doesn't dare live too high if he wants to remain a city official. Ha-ha-ha. Here, let me take your coat and your guitar. Well, I could have left this in the car. Oh, I'm hoping you'll sing for me again. Maybe. Maybe? Yeah. Let's sit over here on the couch by the fire. What a lovely fire. She's so graceful. Sits like a swan. Sit here beside me. Oh, yes. It's you. You. It's nice of you to look after me between trains, Dr. Morgan. Oh, it's no chore, believe me. I've been looking forward to this. Being with you here by the fire, just we two. Really? Mm-hmm. Oops. Yes, Birdie. You ready for the cocoa, yeah? Not just yet, Birdie. Thank you. Yes. Good evening. Good evening. Yo, here, Birdie. This is Ms. Lee. You've heard me speak other. I'll say. Oh, my goodness. How do you do, Birdie? I'm fine, thank you. My, you pretty. Thank you. Did you have a nice train trip, Ms. Lee? Well... Yeah, Birdie. No cocoa now, thank you. Yes, sir. And you on the stage, ain't that so? Well, it isn't always as nice as this, Birdie. No, ma'am. Have you been on the stage long? Oh, about... Oh, brother. Birdie, perhaps you had better start the cocoa. Yes, sir. When you want cocoa, just have Ms. Lee strum the guitar, something like tea for tea. All right, Birdie. Of course, it won't be tea. It'll be cocoa. I like Birdie. Yeah, Birdie's wonderful. Say, why don't you sing something for me, Katie? Do you really want me to? Do I? Here's your guitar. All right, here's a little love song called I Know My Love. Great. Oh, way of walking and I know my love By his way of talking and I know my love By his eyes of blue Brown. But if my... Will I do and yet he cries I love you the best But a trouble You know no rest and yet he cries Funny girls are few I'd never leave. This is too wonderful. Katie, you'll never know how many times I thought about that rainy day we met. You were very kind. Yeah, and you invited me backstage And sang to me in the empty theater. I remember. You sang The Girl in the Wood. Katie. Yes. You were just singing for me. Now. All right. Close your eyes. Oh, this is what I've been waiting for. Who's at the door? Oh, for the Jolly Boys. The Jolly Boys? Yeah, friends of mine. Or they used to be. Oh, Gilday, we didn't know you'd be home. Yeah, I'll bet. Where's we thought we'd come over and use the piano? The one at the club's out of tune. It's always been out of tune, Floyd. This isn't very considerate, fellows. Pardon me, but I don't think we've met the young lady. Yeah, well. Miss Lee, I have to... Yeah, I mean, may I present Judge Hooker? Miss Lee? Mr. Peavey. Happy to make your acquaintance. And Mr. Munson. Hi. We met when she come in the barbershop one day, soaking wet. Oh, yes, I remember. Well, it's nice to meet all of you. Well, perhaps we should be going. Fine, goodbye, fellas. See you later. Oh, no, don't rush away, please. Yes, but... Come on. Sit down. Me too. All of you. Mr. Munson? Right over here by the fire. Well, I was gonna go home. No, Judge Hooker, over here. Thank you. All in a circle. Four nice-looking men. She wasn't looking at you. She wasn't looking at you, either. Quiet, fellows. I was about to sing a song for Throckmorton about a boy who met a girl in the woods. Oh, shh, you old goat. Oh, when I was a young boy and drove my mother wild I met and she said I looked deep into my green eyes and at my auto never see a girl wished a hundred times that she'd never or a man cannot find it when he's looking Your taxi. I arranged for one before we left the station. Yeah, but Katie. I have to catch my train. Goodbye, boy. Katie, wait a minute. What an exciting girl. Where'd she come from, Commission? I don't know. All I know is she's gone again and I'd like to go with her. Now, girlie, let it be just as she said an evening we'll always remember. I won't forget it. After all, in the end we'll all be happier here at home with our memories. No, no, I wouldn't say that. Gildesley will be right back.
