 Grape Nuts Flakes Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson. What American needs is more smiles for breakfast. Wilson, right on the job with news of how to achieve more breakfast smiles. Attempting satisfying breakfast. Breakfast that feature Grape Nuts Flakes. Now, perhaps the best way to describe Grape Nuts Flakes is that they give you such a feeling of well-being with which to start the day. Grape Nuts Flakes start right in, tempting the eye, then give hearty whole bread. I mean blockage. I've got helium in these. I'm not gonna sink. To the elbow out of your left sleeve. To the elbow out of that sleeve when attacked by a man-eating shark in Lake Michigan. Beautiful out here today. Aren't they cute? We'll go in now. We'll get crowded later in the afternoon. There's no reason why I shouldn't share it with people. This season, and you're the first, I won't know who's taking mine out. One towel, remember last year, there were a lot of missing. Yes, ma'am. No, Mary, I have a feeling this is gonna be my best season. Well, I think you opened too early. It's pretty chilly yet to go in swimming. Oh, there's a little ice around the edge of the pool. But out in the center, it's all open water. Uh-oh, here comes some more customers. It's Don Wilson and Phil Harris. Well, they better be customers as they know what's good for them. Well, good morning, gentlemen. Welcome to Benny's Bathing Pool. Hiya, Jackson. Mary. Hello, Jack. How's your cold coming along? Oh, I feel fine, Don. I'll be back on the program tomorrow as master of ceremony. Ain't we gonna have Orson Welts on the show? No? I'm gonna show myself. Back to the corn, huh? Well, for a guy with a wife, a baby, and no talent, you're taking an awful change. Now, give me 20 cents. You're going in for a swim. Swim in that icy water. What are you trying to do? Sober me up. Isn't so cold, Phil. I dove in myself this morning, didn't I, Rochester? Yeah, but that... Well, the way the light hit it, it really fooled me. How about you, Don? Are you going in for a swim? Oh, I don't know, Jack. The water in the pool seems awfully low. Believe me, Don, when you get in, Mary and I'll have to move to higher ground. Now, give me 40 cents for you and Phil. Okay, here you are. Thank you. Take those lockers, number three and five there, on the end, fellas. Okay, Jackson. Well, three customers already. It isn't even noon yet. Ah! Rochester! Rochester, what are you doing with that... Rochester, what are you doing with that chicken? What's that for? I said, what are you doing with that chicken? I was just searching... I think he'll blame us. You will find that Claw... Are our customers here or not? Mr. Benny, that contract also says that I'm supposed to be the lifeguard. So what? You'll be working for Orton. You know, I got a great idea, Mary. We'll have to tell you that Mr. Billingsley... I better change the subject. By the way, Mr. Billingsley, Mr. Billingsley, I see you have your bathing suit on. Are you going for a plunge? Oh, I'd love to, but I left my plunger at the Mo'Kamble. She's living in Anaheim. That's an unusual bathing suit. A Navy Yard, would I? No, but you might get runner-up on Miss Boyle Heights. What are you waiting for, Don? Aren't you going to jump in the pool? It's pretty cold. Oh, come on. Let's see what are you waiting for? In you go. I will win the award for Tomatoes Alone. My cheese. I had an idea. You had trouble with potato bugs, but you had mice. And I still say it doesn't hurt to experiment. Would you mind... Just a minute, Dennis. You know, Mary, I wouldn't laugh about my garden if I were you. I might turn out to be another Luther Burbank. Another who? He came Glendale after him. I guess I didn't analyze it. Certainly didn't. Say, Mr. Benny, speaking of horticulture experiments, are you going to try out that idea I gave you? No, Rochester, no. I told you it would never work. What was his idea, Jack? Oh, Rochester wanted to irrigate the lemon trees with gin and grow Tom Collins. That would never have worked. Now, Dennis, what was it you started to ask me? Well, can I phone my girlfriend and have her come over here for a swift ear in a bathing suit? Why... Why do you have to see a girl in a bathing suit? Well, there's a rumor going around that she's got knocked knees and I can't tell by listening. What's, uh... What's your girl's name, Dennis? Yeah, she has got... I mean, bring her around. Bring her around anytime. Say, Jackson, here comes your medical. My what? Your medical. That's doctor for Latin. Hail and house, my little patient. Shall we take that nasty cask off your leg today? Doctor, I had a cold. You cured me and I feel fine. Now, how much do I owe you? How much? Yes. What's my bill? Uh, just a minute. Now, where did I put that hypodermic needle? I don't need a hypodermic. I can take it like a man. What do I owe you? Well, it was a prescription for cough medicine which cost $2. Centipede. Well, that's $2.30 so far. What else? You bit my thermometer in two while listening to the Fred Allen program. That's a dollar and a quarter. It was worth it. Now, what's the total, Doc? Well, including six visits to your house, the whole thing comes to $45,000. $45,000? Now, wait a minute, Doc. Aren't you starting a little high? That's the only way I'll get ten bucks and you know it. Ten bucks. Well, that's more like it. Now, I'll tell you what, Doc. This is the grand opening of my swimming pool today. Now, how'd you like to take a free swim and call the whole thing even? Good. I'll dive right in now. That's right, Dom. My rice bed was ruined, but we had fried chicken for dinner. Play, Phil. I might even have said who I've yet to drink either coffee or tea. Say something derogatory about my boys. Don't say nothing. I'll be derogatory. And now, ladies and gentlemen, you don't even know what derogatory means. It means tending to or the nature of derogation, disparagement. That's Don Wilson's line. I thought there was something wrong here. Ah, folks, what other program has such bottlenecks? What a dodo. Surely he's a nice boy, Mary, but he doesn't have to have been expecting you, Loretta, and folks, the few words that Miss Young has to say to us are vital. Something I would like to ask everyone to think of. To think of when you go to bed tonight. Think of this as you lift the window and smell the night air and look out at the stars. Think of this. There are thousands of little shacks in the Philippines that are empty tonight. There are thousands of little cottages like yours in Yugoslavia, Greece, China, Russia, empty tonight. Where have all the people gone? Why didn't you know? They are dead. You are still alive. Your blood is warm. The face you love is there on the pillow in the dusk of the room. And everything is so quiet, still, and beautiful. That's worth the faving, isn't it? Others are dying in order to save it for you. Then is our country asking too much when it asks you to become a part of the second war loan. $13 billion for attack, for the invasion of Europe. How much can you spare? How much can you invest? How many war bonds can you buy today? Ask yourself those questions as you stand at your window tonight and smell the fresh, clean night air. And look out at the stars. I'm sure what you said has brought home to us the importance of buying war bonds. The National Nutrition Program tells us we should all have six, seven or whole-brained cereals. Such as grape nuts, or a whole-brained cereals. Delicious flavor, but at the same time...
