 J-E-L-L-O The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with Relax. Every week, ladies and gentlemen, we receive a number of letters from listeners, many of them saying that Jell-O can't be beat. That it's so delicious it just can't be improved. Well, the makers of Jell-O appreciate that, of course. But all the same, they look at the matter a little differently. Forever since this grand new dessert was first introduced more than 40 years ago, the Jell-O people have been constantly working to improve it. To make those six delicious flavors even more delicious. To make those grand glowing colors even gayer and more festive. To make it thriftier to buy and easier to prepare. In other words, to make Jell-O even better than the best. And your thank you to us has been Jell-O's steady growth and popularity. So remember those big red letters on the box spell Jell-O. And Jell-O assures you of the finest enjoyment, rich flavor and glowing colors, America's favorite gelatin dessert now better than ever. And now, ladies and gentlemen, our program tonight will be devoted to a further description of our trypto yosemite. Yes, sir. As you may remember, last week Jack, Mary, Dennis, and myself piled into the Maxwell and left Oakland with Rochester at the wheel. Phil Harris was not a member of our little party as Jack, in a fit of anger, canceled his invitation. It wasn't a fit of anger, Don. He just had to be disciplined, that's all. Nevertheless, Phil left... That guy has to be put in his place once in a while, you know. Nevertheless, Phil... I'll teach him to get smart with me. Nevertheless, my goodness, Jack. Excuse me, Don. Nevertheless, Phil left in his own car six hours later than we did and much to our surprise soon passed us on the road. Much to who's surprise? Quiet. Go ahead, Don. Anyhow, realizing we couldn't reach Yosemite that night, we pulled into an autocourt only to find that Phil Harris had taken the last cabin. Who cares? We found a much better place to stay. Some place. I rang for a bellboy and a coyote came in. Well, it was rather primitive. It is now the following morning and we are once more on the road headed down the highway toward Yosemite. Killers, now that you've got me loving you. Killers, killers in everything you do. Are you just killers as you seem to be? Or do you just killers for me? I said for me... Very good, Rochester. Very good. Now sing Scatterbrain. Now wait a minute, boss. Rochester, I said sing Scatterbrain. I'm tired singing for you all the time. Why don't you put a radio in this car? Because I only want to hear what I want to hear. That's why. Oh, Jack, let him rest. He's been singing for an hour. I don't mind singing, Mr. Livingston, but at eight o'clock he wants me to imitate Hamerson Andy. Well... I can't do that blackface stuff. You can try. That's all I ask. You don't have to be perfect. There's a car coming, Rochester. I think we better let it pass us. I think it's inevitable. Look at that speed demon showing off. He ought to get a ticket. Oh, you're jealous of every car that's got cylinders. I am not. Boy, what a ride. Two days to make 180 miles. Listen, Mary, if you don't like it, get out and walk. How can I walk after two days in this cocktail shaker? Oh, this car doesn't vibrate so much. It doesn't. You've been trying to get that cigar in your mouth for the last five miles. Don't worry. I'll make it. Yeah, never saw anyone like it. It's funny Don and Dennis aren't complaining. I'm fine, Mr. Benny. There you are. Are you all right back there, Don? Well, to tell you the truth, Jack, I'm still a little sleepy. You're sleepy? What about me? You're a nice fellow, Don, but that's the last time I'll ever share a bed with you and Dennis. I didn't have much of it. That's right. You were wedged in pretty tight there. Incidentally, Dennis, what was the idea of wiggling your ears all night long? I dreamt I was a butterfly on my way to a daisy. Well, that's rather odd. You know, Jack, I had a dream, too. I dreamt I was lost in Mexico with Clark Gable. Oh. Mighty nice country down there. Yes, especially this time of year. Another car wants to pass us, Rochester. OK, boss. Let's look nonchalant. Never mind. Let him go, the fools. There's another guy that ought to get pinched. Oh, he wasn't going so fast. He wasn't, eh? He passed us. An arc speedometer says 65 miles an hour. I thought you were going to have that fixed. Never mind. Say, boss, there's a big hill up ahead. What do we do? What do we do? Climate, of course. It's pretty steep, you know. Rochester, this car's made hills much steeper than that one. Not doing my regime. Just give her the gas. We'll make it. OK. Hang on, everybody. There you are. We're doing fine. Uh-oh. Well, don't let it die on. You throw it in the second. There ain't no second. Then throw it in the first. What are you waiting for? OK, boss. It's OK. Keep calm, everybody. Don't get excited. We're near the top. We're making it. Brighten the nose. You wouldn't dare. You weren't afraid, were you, Dennis? No, sir. That was fun. Let's do it again. Won't be necessary. Hey, Jack, now the excitement is over. Let's stop at that lunch room up ahead and get something to eat. OK. There's a gas station alongside of it. Good. We'll put some water in the radiator and some air in the tires. Yeah, and you better put some of that stuff they make a little profit on in the gas tank. I was going to get some gas, Rochester, so mind your own business. Well, here we are. Let's stop. Gee, I'm hungry. Rocky Chris, 10 minutes here, folks. Rochester, you're not driving a bus. Now get out, everybody. Oh, boy, it feels good to stretch. Yes, sir. I'm stiff as a board. I feel wonderful. Simply marvelous. You don't have to be so sarcastic, Mary. What about the women that used to ride across the planes and covered wagons? I envy them. Well, I'll tell you... I'll tell you one thing, Mary. If I ever ask you to take a trip with me again, I'll go right out and have my head examined. And if I say yes, I can throw a net over both of us. I've got to get some gas away from me in the lunchroom. And if it's not too much trouble, order me a peanut butter sandwich, will you? Okay. Come on down. Right with you, Mary. See you later. Now, where did Dennis disappear to? Oh. Oh. Say, young fella... Yes, sir? I want five gallons of gas, please. Ethel, pethyl, or schmethyl? The regular gas will be all right. Five gallons, please. Ethel is much better for your motor. Now, look, buddy, I know what I want. Put in five gallons of regular gas. Okay. You're the doctor. You remind me of a fella that waited on me in a sporting goods store in Oakland. That's my brother Egbert. Isn't he priceless? He sure is. Oh, Mr. Benny, where'd the gang go? They're in the lunchroom, Dennis. Okay. La, la, la, la, la, la. I never saw such a happy kid. Say, Rochester. Rochester, see what else the car needs. I'm going in and eat. Don't forget the driver, boys. Oh, yes. I'll bring you back something. What do you want, Rochester? I'd like a stuffed pork chop under glass. You'll get a hamburger under mustard and pic a lily. Now, check the tire so we can leave as soon as possible. Okay. Please pass the ketchup, will you, Mary? Here you are, Don. Oh, you're eating already, eh? Do you order my peanut butter sandwich, Mary? Yes, and it was delicious. Oh, fine. Now, order me another one. Say, Mr. Benny, look what I found on this record machine. What, Dennis? Look at number 12 here. It says, darn that dream with a vocal refrain by Dennis Day. Oh, one of your records, eh? Well, let's hear it. Put in a nickel. Okay. Tonight, you say you love Don, your eyes. They lift me on track, mine. With our factory, my never would have. And bless it too. With our factory, my never would have. It's me and it won't come true. Oh, darn. Dennis, that was swell. I didn't know you made records. Shall I play it again? No, don't bother. But it was a grand number. You ought to sing it on the program sometime. You're darn right. Gee, the food's good here, isn't it, Jack? Well, we were pretty hungry, Don. Oh, Miss. Yes, sir? That peanut butter was delicious, but I'm still hungry. Give me a T-bone steak for myself and a hamburger to take out. Okay. Two cows. Torture one. Oh, my God. And by the way, Miss, I want my steak very rare. The T-bones for Tarzan. Well, they understand each other, anyway. Let's hurry up, neat fellas. I'm dying to get Yosemite. Gee, I'll bet Mr. Hasse is there already. Oh, Phil? Oh, he's still sleeping in that autocourt. He might have passed us yesterday, but we'll beat him into Yosemite. We will, eh? Yeah, you know the story of the hare and the tortoise, don't you, Mary? The what? The tortoise. You know, turtle. One turtle? Wait a minute! I didn't order any soup. Oh, pardon me. Scuttle the turtle. You can't even open your mouth around here. What's that? There's a parrot over there, isn't it cute? Where? Oh, yeah, in that cage. Let's go over and talk to it. Gee, I love parrots. That one's a beauty. It sure is cute. Hello, Polly. Hello, Polly. Isn't that marvelous? Polly want a cracker? Oh, I want a cracker. You talk to Mary. Okay. Hello? Fred Baker. Your steak is ready, sir. Thanks. Gee, Mary, isn't it wonderful the way that bird talks? Yeah, hurry up and eat your steak, Jack, so we can get out of here. Well, it won't take me long. Oh, Miss, will you please fill this thermos bottle with coffee? I want to take it with me. Yes, sir. Very little cream. Thank you. Gee, you folks measure everything around here, don't you? Stop talking, Jack. We want to get going. I'll be through in a minute, Don. Pardon me, but aren't you, Jack Benny, from the radio? Yes, I am. I thought so. Would you mind autographing this piece of rye crisp for me? I'll be glad to. You know, Mr. Benny, you're my favorite comedian. Well, thanks very much. I like them, too. The parrot's a little fresh there. Here's your autograph, Miss. Thanks. And if you want to know something. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Oh, Jack, you're arguing with a parrot. I don't care. He started it. Let's get out of here. Give me the check, please. For everybody? Yes, it's my treat. And here's 50 cents for you, Miss. Before we go, Miss, I want to congratulate you on the marvelous dish of jello you served me. Thank you. You can see now why it's America's favorite gelatin dessert. It's tempting and appetizing, easy to make, and, as you know, comes in six delicious flavors. By the way, Miss, where's that hamburger? Here you are. It's in this bag. Oh, yes. Goodbye. Goodbye, Mr. Benny. Come on, gang. Let's get out of here. I'd rather have a canary any day. You had a canary and took it back because you couldn't sing rigoletto. Well, it was in the guarantee. What a guy. He expects Nelsonetti with feathers. Oh, quiet. Hey, Rochester, here's your sandwich. Thanks, boss. Is everything all set now? Everything's fine. All ready to go. Good. How much do I owe you, young man? It'll be $2.10 for gas and $12 for the tire. The tire? What tire? Hop in, boss. Let's get going. Wait a minute, Rochester. What's the idea of buying a new tire? Well, you told me to check them and the right front one was a little low. Yes. So I put some air in it, then kicked it to see if it was hard. Uh-huh. I never should have done that. Well, that's no excuse for buying a new tire. If it blew out, you could have patched the inner tube. Patch it? We couldn't even find it. Well, here's your money, mister. From now on, Rochester, before you buy anything, please consult me first. Come on, everybody. Let's go. Where's Dennis? Oh. Well, pile in. Pile in, fellas. I'll get the car started. Are you going to drive, boss? Yes. I'll drive for a while so you can eat your sandwich. Are you ready to go, Mr. Benny? Yes. Hop in, Dennis. Come on, everybody. I'm driving. Now, let's see. Where's the starter, Rochester? Right there on the floor, next to the mousetrap. Oh, yes. Mike, I'm getting out of here. Don't worry, Mary. There was one little mouse living in the toolbox. Little mouse? He came out and hit me with a hammer, didn't he? Oh, stop exaggerating. Now, hold on, everybody. We're off. Silly with those goggles on. I do, eh? And turn your cap around. Who do you think you are? Barney O'Field? Now, wear my cap any way I want to. Uh-huh. Shut up. Oh, Don, you're not nervous with me driving. Are you? No, Jack. But what makes the car weave from side to side? With this new tire on, it's gone nuts. Well, it does throw me off a little. I'll hold the wheel tighter. Pull over at the side, Rochester. You're driving, boss. Oh, yes. Come on, come on. How can people drive that fast? I like that ought to get a ticket. Was that Phil Harris, Mr. Benny? No, Phil's got a red sport model with a blonde siren. Hey, fellas, you know, it's fun being at the wheel for a change. Hey, Jack, pull over. Somebody else wants to pass us. Okay, okay. Do you mean to say you're going to let a team of horses pass us? They weren't ordinary horses. Down the one on the outside looked like Indian broom. Hey, fellas, look at that sign. Yosemite National Park, 23 miles. Gee, I just got time to knit a sweater. You have not. Allowing for the hills and everything will be there in a couple of hours. Say, boys, you want me to drive for a while? No, I don't want to bother changing seats. You don't have to change. Just hand me the wheel. Don't be smart. I'll drive, Rochester. Everybody has to be so comical. Good heavens. Another speed demon. It looks like Phil Harris' car. It is, Phil. Pull over, Jack. Pull over nothing. He's not going to beat me to Yosemite. I'm going to hob the road. Keep on honking, Phil. That ain't going to help any... Come on, pull that eight-beater out of the way. Oh, boy, it's hard. Oh, boy, is he burning up. Jack, you're right in the center of the road. I know what I'm doing. I'll teach that guy to show off. Come on, Jackson. I'm in a hurry. Let me by. Oh, no, Phil. Get in line. From now on, this is going to be a parade. Who, me, officer? Yes, you, and make it snappy. Here, Rochester, you sit at the wheel. It's too late now, boss. That's the idea, blocking the highway. Don't you know it's against the law? Well, gee, officer. Let me see your driver's license. I'm glad you got that guy, officer. He's a menace to safe driving. I was only kidding, Phil Harris, and you know it. Look, officer, we're friends. Friends? I never saw this guy before in my life. I think he's crazy. Why, Phil Harris? You mean to say that... May I go now, officer? I'm a physician, and I'm on a rush call. Go right ahead, doctor. He's no more doctor than I am. By the way, officer, I'd inspect the trunk in the back of his car. I think there's a body in it. Why, Phil Harris? Go along, officer. Goodbye, doctor. Now, look, officer. I've had about enough out of you. Let's have that driver's license. Now, look, officer, you see, I'm taking my little family to Yosemite. I worked hard all year and saved up every penny, and this was to be our vacation up in the snow. You say one word, Mary Livingston. I realize, officer, that I've broken the law, but I'd just hate to have anything upset the vacation plans of my little family. I see. Well, I'm a family man myself, and I appreciate what this trip means to you, so I'll let you go this time. But in the future, keep to the right. Oh, I will, officer. I will, way over to the side. Gee. Thanks very much. Oh, welcome. Goodbye. Goodbye. That was a close call. All right, relax, fellas, and let's get started. Can I drive now, daddy? Drive till we get there. Well, here we are, fellas, coming into Yosemite. A fine time to be getting in. 10 o'clock at night. Well, we had mountains to climb. There were a lot of curves. A Rochester, where are you? Right beside you, boys. It's dark. Either open your eyes or smile. Well, it's Yosemite National Park. What fun we're going to have. We'll check in at the Awani Hotel, have a nice hot shower, a little supper, and get to bed so we can get up early in the morning and go out and play in the snow. Oh, boy. How are we going to get through that gate? It's closed. Well, naturally it's closed. You've got to pay $2 to get into the park. There's the rangers station right there. Here comes the ranger now. Good evening, folks. Good evening. We're on our way. We want to go to the Awani Hotel to spend a few days there. That's $2 to get in, isn't it? Yes, but you can't get through tonight. The park closes at 10 p.m. What? I'm sorry, but we... We don't open until 6 o'clock in the morning. 6 o'clock in the morning? What are we going to do to Len? There's a lovely auto camp just 40 miles back. I know. We stayed there last night. Can't you make an exception just for tonight? I'm sorry. I'd like to help you out, but rules are rules. I see. Good night. Good night. Well, this is the last straw. What are we going to do now, Jack? I don't know. I've got a couple of tents in the back of the car. We can put them up. Yeah, that'll be fun. Oh, everything is fun to you. Well, Dennis is right. It won't hurt to rough it once in a while. It'll be good for us. Oh, my goodness. Don't tell me it's going to rain now. That's all we need. Well, we might just well spend the night right here in the car. We're all tired anyway, and we'll sleep till morning. That's right, Jack. It'll only be a few hours. Gone, it looks like it's really going to rain. My burning's bouncing if that means anything. Here it comes. Well, good night, fellas. Good night, Jack. Good night, Mr. Benny. Good night. Dennis, you don't have to put your pajamas on. Good night, Mary. Pleasant dreams. Keep them. Hmm. Groups sleeping peacefully with the rain beating a lullaby on top of the car. What will happen in the morning? Will they finally reach Awani Hotel in Yosemite? Will they go skiing? Will Jack fall down and break his crown? I hope so. Tune in next Sunday night and find out. Play, Phil. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to pretend I'm the postman delivering a Valentine to your home. Just tear open the envelope and you'll find it's a Valentine from all of us to all of you. A brand-new Jello recipe for Valentine's Day. It's called Jello Valentine Hearts. Rich crimson hearts made of delicious cherry jello, strikingly arranged on heart-shaped pieces of white cake. And here's how easy it is to make. In one pint of hot water, dissolve one package of cherry jello, or any red jello flavor you prefer. Turn into a shallow pan and chill until firm. Then cut into hearts with a heart-shaped cutter and arrange on heart-shaped pieces of cake. Serve plain or garnished with whipped cream and you'll have a swell dessert for Valentine's Day that's really distinctive.
