 people think when they think about it. That is, which I don't think is very often. If you mean, would we win a popularity contest if the other contestants were General Eisenhower, Betty Gravel, and little Abner? I see no. Now, how would a little personal get a pro to find out how much your enemies like you and how much your friends hate you? Remember Vicki, seek not the favor of the multitude. It is seldom obtained by honest and lawful means, but seek the testimony of the few and number not voiceless, but way above. That's enough, you put things so well. It was not mine, my darling. I can't in this case. You can't watch in this case. I can't anything dearly. I mean, I didn't say I couldn't anything. I said the quotation was I can't. For any old thing I'm usually inconsiderate or I've done my hair too tightly over my ears this morning. But then who can't do what? Victoria, the confusion here seems to be a matter of our time. It is not C-A-N, the past of A-T. It is capital K-A-N-T, can't. I for Emanuel, can't. German philosopher. Oh. Yes, critique of pure reason. And a great man. They have to be great to get quoted by my expertise. Very picky and choosy. I can say that again, baby. That's a quote from Manon. Manolesco? No dear man on the streets. Hello, sir. That would be Mr. Wellman. How do you know? Where has he invariably arrived between my first and second slice of toast like a blob of marmalade? Quince marmalade. Excuse me, sir, but I admit the crown quince. It's not any luck. Good fortune has attended our babies. Well, you'll do as him unusually cheerful this morning. Why shouldn't I be cheerful? The board has been wrestling with a financial problem for months. Where would we get the additional funds to begin that new wing in the college library and suddenly the answer talks in our legs? Well, somebody left us a request better than that, Dr. Ball. But Ivy gets publicity and a nice financial contribution at one at the same time. There is a radio program which wants to come to our tempest. Radio program. In exchange for this privilege, they would be willing to make a sizable contribution to our library. Radio program. It is called, not the quote, a quiz show, but only for a half hour for one week. The eyes of our program is the way they choose their contestants. A poll is taken in advance, you see, and the two intellectual giants of the community are elected. Intellectual giants? Yes. The two people have the best knowledge of literature and the art. The two giants, we head on. The winner is declared, and I believe they call him a quotable notable. Notable, notable. Yes. The library fund needs a bit of additional cash. You say, Mr. Wellman, it's certainly done, but it has been squeezed dry. And in this area, the students would vote on their choice of the intellectual giants of the community. I believe they select two. Two? What two people do the students possibly name? You mean you give your permission after all? Well, the library fund is a worthy cause. They put quotations on this program. That's the general idea. Well, in that case, it might not be too bad. The art of quoting from the masters is sadly neglected. Besides, it might be the very thing to add well-intellectual tone. Do I contradict myself? Very well, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain massitudes. Unquote. Leaves of grass. Walt Whitman. We are to be on your campus. You and I will educate each other. You're very welcome here, Mr. Haddish. Oh, now, Mr. Discolly chocolate. I must admit, it would be difficult calling you a sorrowful joke. Don't you find this habitual gay little wearing at times? Well, I sure do, boy. This chin-up business leaves you wide open for a cuss belt. My assistants are busy calling the both at the moment. You know something? If I were voting here, I'd vote for you, Doc. Thank you very much. But I think the students will name someone like Professor Arsperger in their demolition, whom everybody calls a walking encyclopedia. Not since he's had his appendix removed. Who should rise for television? Tell me something, Mr. Haddish. When a quiz show ends, it's pointed round. When it goes to the happy hunting ground assigned to extinct radio programs, do they call it a dead giveaway? Not for all the residents. Yes. Well, keep here. It's for you, Mr. Haddish. Well, thank you. Well, happy day. We have the results. Read them to me, Violet, and pair up with Tom. I hope you get it. I know the results of this absurdity, so I couldn't be further from my mind. It means nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. Well, thank you, Eugene. Thank you very much. Good to have you, Eugene. With this, he has earned his freedom. I shall strike off his chains this night, and he can go with Guy Lombardo. It's you, Dr. Bradley B. Bradley. Who? Bradley B. Who? Bradley B. Bradley. And tomorrow night's the big contest between the two giants of intellect, William Tolander Hall and Bradley B. Bradley. Bradley B. Bradley. Well, I'll be off. And tomorrow night's war. No, sir. I'm certain there's not a professor, instructor, or even a janitor on campus that I don't know. But I've never heard of Bradley B. Bradley. Maybe one of the members of the freshman class is a quiz kid. I'll run for role. Well, let's have a look in the university directory. This is my local equivalent of the world almanac. Yes, it is. Bradley. Bradley. Bradley. Well, we have one Bradley role here. Oh, yes, Bradley. Oh, an economics major. But no Bradley B. Bradley, huh? Bradley B. Bradley. Now, there's an unlikely name. I've always objected to people having the same first name and last name. Even Jerome Gage Jerome. Very confusing. You don't know whether they're coming or going. Never had any objection whatsoever to Simone. Simone. Yeah, no. Don't confuse the issue. This Bradley is probably the kind of man who is an expert on milk and the lung. And those are two areas which I have avoided and neglected. Well, isn't Longfellow considered the little old fashioned? Yes, but so is the declaration of war. But we still have both wars and lungs. But I think I've always had a sneaking fondness for the village blacksmith. It was the first poem I ever recited with gestures. Bradley B. Bradley. You don't suppose his middle name is Bradley, too. That's beautiful. Overboard, wouldn't you? Bradley, Bradley, Bradley. Farmer may have been a beekeeper. But when a man of such stature resides in your own community it's humiliating to admit that you don't even know him. There's a student part in the house. Let's get him in and ask him. I'm not a bad idea. You're going to peek inside the powerhouse? See how the other one percent lives? Oh, hello there. Good afternoon, Dr. Hall. Tell me, in your wanderings around the campus and the town, have you encountered anyone named Bradley B. Bradley? Brad? Sure, you're worthy opponent. But what I don't understand is why we don't know Mr. Bradley. Probably because you've preserved your valuable life by avoiding ulcer and gulch. Oh, you mean that lovely mosh off at the head of paternity roll? Oh, that's Brad. The boy behind the counter. The soldier. Oh, I know him by sight, that is. I've never quite summoned up the courage to enter that teeming den of undergraduate indulgence, but... Ha, ha, ha, ha. Why not confess I've watched him through the window flipping hamburgers with the facility of a Japanese tumbler. Well, it's too bad you don't know him better. We all get a heck of a chart out of Brad. He's really Moldavious. Moldavious? M-hm, Moldavious, big key. He's a recent superlative of magnolias. Meaning, immensical and voluptuous. Hey, I like that voluptuous. That's really George. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, that's what Bradley, Bradley's middle being. Oh, that's what Bartlett is. Mother's maiden name, Bartlett. Ha, ha, ha. In relation to the quotation, Bradley claims his mother wrote him. Ha, ha, ha. Anyway, he spends all his spare time memorizing. He practically knows him backwards. But then I'll bet you do too, Dr. Hall. Not backwards. Ha, ha, ha. Anything else you want to know about Brad? No, no, no, thanks very much. Well, if you'll excuse me, I've got a class. Oh, one thing, Dr. Hall, all the kids think it's really great and it's a big thing for us. Well, thank you very much. Well, good luck. Good bye, Mr. Hall. Good bye. Good bye. You know, Vicki, if this Bradley has really memorized Bartlett's rotations, I've got a match in my hand. But Bartlett doesn't do your sort of rotations. Well, no. They're better than them. They're a good source. Menkens rather among a mental contribution, and then, of course... They don't confuse an affectionate acquaintance with a complete mastery. The question is, can the Quotation's college president stand up to a Moldavius hamburger flipper? A very grilling question, Dr. Hall. The other's me. Oh, what do you suggest? You like Longfellow? You're a big crook man, aren't you? Well, it's not very good here. Some people disguise their childhood capsules as quotations. Hamburgers on a Hugo. Chili on a Charlie. Care to play the jukebox? Music, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory. Shelly? Well, I don't think Mr. Shelly had jukeboxes in mind, but he wrote that. Well, I never heard our jukebox. Excuse me, I gotta flip the hamburger. One man's meat is another man's poison. Bradley? Yes, ma'am. Great honor, the students choosing you to compete against the president of the university. Yeah. Yeah, it looks like I... like I meet the champ, don't it? Well, aren't you pleased? You've been taught a laurel wreath. A laurel wreath? For a season, the laurel outlives not me, Swinburne. I'm scared to death. With all those quotations at your fingertips, why should you be scared? Well, I hear Dr. Hall can quote you right into a corner. I'll probably leave with a light Swinburne and get nuts caught with a loopy Elf of Lord Tennyson. Well, I've been Dr. Hall's corner. You've been his wife, haven't I? But then I suspected you were just out scouting for the doctor. Yeah, well, I was. I'm mighty proud to be on the same program with him, and scared to death. Well, why don't you drop by the house tonight and tell him yourself? I think it's only fair that you should get a chance to meet your athletes before you're thrown into the ring together. And don't forget, quote, don't judge your enemy's strength until you've seen him from all angles, including nor, unquote. Oh! I... I can't recognize that one, Mrs. Hall. You should. I'd be football coach. Did her wedding gown knock for the fine glossy surface that such polities as would wear well? Oh, is that a left or right-handed compliment, will you? Yes, Mrs. Hall. Fools rush in when angels fear to die. I got that, indeed. You know, that's like trying to remember how to spell calendar. You know, but when you stop and think, you forget whether there's an E or an A in the middle. Are you stalling to time? Yes. Are you stalling? No, no, no, no. That's one I couldn't forget. It's Alexander Paul. That's a young criticism. It's a particular line of the kind of mind, Dr. Hall. And for the time's reason, a footnote to it's done in me reading Shakespeare. Well, any reason is a good one. But what footnote would that be? It's, uh, Rims may pray where he goes there, not Christian. Oh, yes, yes. That's it, Dr. Boone. I read the whole play after that. I haven't stopped reading him since. Yes. When you open a new jar, you can never tell how many of them slide beyond. That door reminds me, I gotta open up in the morning. I better leave. Well, I enjoyed it very much, Mr. Bradley. So, you know, I haven't called these things the kind of gag, just to make sure that nobody thinks I'm right. I just love the quotation. Somehow, all the words seem to be in the right place. Yes, well, every book is a quotation. And every house is a quotation out of all fires and mines and stone quarries. And every man is a quotation from all his ancestors. Yeah. The Ralph Waldo ever did. Good night, Dr. Boone. Good night, all of you. He has total recall. I'm sure he does know most about this. Well, you two certainly had a good work out. Better have a shot and a rub down before you turn in, champ. You know, Donny, I have to confess that after all my misgivings, I'm rather looking forward to this contest. This tag into the basket line could beat me. You know that. Do you wish me to answer that as your wife or as a free citizen? All I know is I'm going to go in there. It doesn't matter who wins. It's the game that's important. Bradley and I will try to make this game a good one. On the Ivy Cap, a free dish for you, see? A perpetual piece of neck and suites where no crude surface rain. John Milton from The Ivy Cap. Yes, I was. By necessity, by frugality, and by delight, we all quote. You see, here I am quoting Mr. McFly, because that is just what I wanted to say, and he said it so well. After all, quoting is a recognition of truth. We all enjoy this same rich heritage of the world's beauty. It is our common property, and we should share it to the fullest. But Dr. Hall, that was a terrific ad-lib. Well, Allison gave me the stars. You can fool me, Dr. Hall. I'll bet you've been on the radio before. Now, who's whoever heard it? Well, in that case, I'd like to make an experiment if I may throw one more quotation of my friend Mr. Bradley. Of course, I will gladly offer him the same opportunity. Well, if only this is strictly unofficial. The contest is over and remains a tie. We're sure not. Why, no way. All right. He thinks the truth should live from age to age as trery-tailed to all posterity, even to the general all-ending day. What, Dr. Hall? That's Shakespeare. That's from King Richard the Third. That's absolutely right. But the remarkable thing, ladies and gentlemen, is that this quotation is not included in Bartlett's quotations. And it makes my point. Mr. Bradley knows Richard the Third because of a footnote in Bartlett's. You see, the simple discovery of one true sentence can lead to the whole world's treasuring. Is it my turn, Dr. Hall? Yes, go ahead. This should be easy for you. It's in line with what you just said. When you open a new door, you can never tell how many rooms lie beyond it. Oh, of course. Yes, indeed. Yes, that's one of my favorites. Oh, that's a great one. Wait a minute. Don't tell me. I know. I don't have enough time to recognize that, Dr. Hall. That's why Dr. William Potter of all of Ivy College said himself. Well, since you put it that way, Mr. Harrison, you have pointed out the one real danger in this game of books. If, to say what you want to say, you rely too much upon what other people have said, you may forget what it is that you should have said because, after all, it was you who wanted to say it. I've made Milwaukee famous. More people like the taste of Schlitz than any other beer. That's why Schlitz is the life of selling beer in America. Mrs. Ronald Cole. I'm very proud of you, darling. You're the author to both a maiden's prayer and a quizmaster's question. Well, I thought Brad was quite a worthy antagonist. In fact, as a friendly gesture, I'd like to stop in at Ulcer Gauch tomorrow and buy you a strawberry mochi. Can you make it a sundae? I can make it any day you like, darling. Thank you for the sundae.
