 CBS News. The Carter administration has revealed some details of part of its proposed National Health Insurance Plan. Neither Senator Kennedy nor the AMA are pleased. I'm Gerry Landay reporting on the CBS Radio Network. The Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Joseph Califano, revealed the outlines in New York of what is termed the first phase of the Carter Plan. It would spend up to $15 billion in coverage limited only to what Califano termed catastrophic illness as well as expanding Medicare and Medicaid coverage for the poor and aged. No substantial amount would be spent for more than three years and Mr. Carter would make the limited plan contingent on congressional OK of his program to contain spiraling hospital costs. Senator Kennedy, who favors immediate passage of a comprehensive health coverage bill, termed the Carter approach disappointing and piecemeal. Adding a $15 billion new program of benefits without the other kinds of system changes is going to mean additional inflation into the system and effectively is going to bankrupt Middle America. Dr. James Sammons of the American Medical Association opposed the Carter Plan is going too far. He's obviously trying to use a highly emotional phrase, catastrophic insurance, to generate additional support for an ill-founded, ill-advised, unworkable, totally complicated and unnecessary piece of legislation that the administration is presently proposing. Califano defended the first phase package as all Congress can digest and the country can afford at this time. More after this. Mom, why didn't you show Mrs. Wood the ring daddy gave you for your anniversary? Because all she'd look at would be the brown spots on the back of my hand and guess my age.

The members of the United Nations Security Council have passed a resolution condemning Israel's 12-year-old occupation of Arab territories and creating a special commission to investigate Israel's settlement policies. The United States abstained, did not use its veto power to kill that resolution. As both Israel and Egypt prepare to put finishing touches on peace treaty documents to be signed Monday, Israeli television reports Prime Minister Menachem Begin will order a major new construction drive to set up 10 more Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank claimed by Jordan. There's no confirmation. Bargainers for the Teamsters Union today turned down the initial offer by the trucking industry on a new three-year contract in the first major test of President Carter's voluntary 7% wage guideline. The rejection had been expected. Yesterday, the head of the Teamsters Union, Frank Fitzsimmons, declared it would not be right to hold down workers' wages while corporate profits are soaring. Today in Washington are Robert Russell, Deputy Director of the President's Council on Wage Price Stability, warned of the ripple effect an excessive Teamsters settlement would have on other negotiations. Far and away, the most important reason why a 7% settlement for Teamsters is so crucial to our fight against inflation is because of the demonstration effect. The impact it will have on subsequent settlements. If all settlements in the country, if all wages went up by 10% instead of 7%, then the rate of inflation would be at least 2 percentage points higher. The current Teamsters contract expires the end of the month. Now this. Hi. Here's one of my new favorites. Almaneta, Gentle Almaneta, Almaneta for Manashevitz Wine.

In Worcester, Massachusetts, officials report that a 68-year-old school bus monitor who died in December of infection was the victim of a bite from a 5-year-old student. Cyril Nickerson was admitted to a Worcester hospital at the end of last year, complaining of partial paralysis and back pain. 18 days after being bitten, he died of bacterial endocarditis, infection of the lining of the heart. No action, obviously, to be taken against the child. I'm Gerry Landay, CBS News.

But the streets are puddled and the rhythmic swipes of the windshield wiper are hypnotic. Lou finally gets home and leaves his cab into the garage. Still unaware of the briefcase left in the back seat. Hi, honey. Oh, don't hang your coat in the closet. It's all wet. It's only water. Give it to me. How's Bobby? He been? Yeah, he's not any better. The medicine just doesn't seem to be working. I mean, you can't fix things until you know what's wrong. And Dr. Grossman doesn't know what Bobby's got. Maybe we'd better find another doctor. He's a good doctor. We're lucky to have him. He'd be the first one to tell us to go to another doctor if he felt he couldn't help Bobby. You know that. You're right. He's my kid. I can't help it. I worry about him. There's no need. You just like to worry about everything. Well, I got plenty to worry about. The cab is going to need a transmission job soon. Better get that fixed. But I still owe Joe for the brake job. So? Go to a new mechanic. You see? That's all. Hey, Bob. I'll be right there, son. I bought him a present today. I couldn't resist it. I know this is going to cheer him up. Hey, Bobby, I got to talk to you. I, uh, got a problem. You do? Yeah, maybe, uh, you can help me with it. I'll try. What is it? You see, I've got this present with me, but I don't know who to give it to. You, uh, got any suggestions? Ah, Bob, would you get me? Not so fast. This present is filled with magic. When I saw it, I said a little voice in the back of my head said, Lou, you have to buy this for Bobby because if there's anything that's going to get him well, it's this present. This wrapping is very tricky. There, I got it. Ta-da! Lou, who'd you say you bought that for? Don't look at me that way. I bought it for my son. The best son in the world. For a son who loves his father so much that he's going to give him visiting presents. You got it. I thought so. Hello? Just a second. Bobby, you feel like talking? It's your friend, Jimmy. Sure. Come on, Lou, I think I heard your stomach growling. Hi, Jimmy. Listen, uh, while you're getting the food on the table, I'm going to run out in the garage and clean out the cab. What does it look like? Looks like a briefcase. What are you so touchy about? Because it belongs to a couple of creeps that busted my chops on the way to the airport. What's in it? I don't know. I didn't look. Those big shots on the way to Miami that close some big business deal and this briefcase is probably filled with all their important papers. Serves them right. Oh, they must have really given you a hard time for you to be so upset. Here, give it to me. You sit down here. I'll look through it and see if I can find out who they are. Is it real? No, X-Men. But it sure looks real to me. Oh, it feels real. There's nothing else in a briefcase. Just money. No papers? No identification? I wonder how much there is. There's got to be at least $10,000 here. There's $5,000 in each pack and there's 40 pack. Honey, that's $200,000. I'm here, Bobby. What's wrong, hun? I'm going to call Dr. Grossman. Dr. Grossman, please. Yes, I know. It's three o'clock in the morning, but this is an emergency. Mrs. Catherine Marino. Hang on, Bobby. Dr. Grossman, this can't keep going on. He's in terrible pain. What am I supposed to do? Okay. Okay. What's going on? We've got to get dressed. We're taking Bobby to the hospital again for more tests. Easy care. Solids from white to navy blue. Lots of soft tones, too. Plenty of prints.

I'm trying to locate a couple of guys I picked up yesterday in front of your newspaper stand. Around six o'clock, they were carrying some luggage. One was tall and thin with a mustache and the other guy was shorter and stockier. They were wearing suits, you know them? What'd they do? Nothing. You a cop? No, I'm a cabbie. They run out on you without paying? No. Then what do you want them for? That's a long story. You know them or not? I don't know. It was raining, you know. I don't look up when it rains. Maybe it was those guys came out of the pool room over there and then again a lot of people hang out in the doorways when it rains. Maybe they were just hanging out under the doorway. Let's check Bobby's pulse. You want us to leave? Oh, no, no. That's all right. You can stay. But you just did all that stuff. We have to do it every half hour, Bobby. So, Bobby, you look better. Nurse, what's that contraption hooked up to my son's over? He's on intravenous feedings. Okay, Bobby. That's it for now. I'll see you in a half hour. Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Marino. Shoot, Papa. I'm sorry. What are you sorry for? Sick and being put in the hospital. This is going to cost you a lot of money. Don't you worry about that. We got insurance. That'll take care of everything. You just concentrate on getting well. Insurance isn't going to cover everything. What about the money? What do you mean? You know what I'm talking about? Don't play dumb with me. It's not ours. We've got to give it back. Still got it, haven't you? Of course. I put it in a safe place. Our safe deposit box. I'm still looking for those guys. I'll find them. Well, maybe you won't. Have you thought about that? Don't want a table. Don't bother me. I'm busy with paying customers. Now that'll be $6.50. Is there anybody else I can talk to? Nope. There's only me. I run this pool all by my lonesome. Well, why are you so sure you never saw those guys? Just look around you. What do you see? Do they look like Wall Street types? No, they look more like rejects from 42nd Street. That's why I'm so sure. I've been too long, Cathy. Oh, where's your husband? He's working, Dr. Grossman. I can tell him whatever you tell me. So, what's wrong with Bobby? He's got ulcerated colitis. That doesn't tell me anything. Well, to put it simply, the mucus membrane of his large intestine is inflamed, and the way to fix it is by operating. An operation? It's that serious? How did he get it? Did he catch it from somebody? We really don't know what causes it, but one of the possibilities may be emotional stress. Emotional stress? It's common among people our age, but very rare for an 11-year-old. Now, I have to tell you there's some danger in the operation because of Bobby's age. Because his intestine is very small, it makes the surgery difficult. Now, he'll have to be in the hospital for at least three weeks for post-operative care. I've already contacted Dr. Harold Stockwood and told him about Bobby. He's the best surgeon for this operation. Kathy, I don't want to rush you, but I'd like to tell Dr. Stockwood to plan on doing the operation sometime next week. His schedule is very busy, and he needs at least five days' notice. Well, I have to discuss this with my husband. Of course you do. But what I need to know now is, will Dr. Stockwood to schedule Bobby? I said I have to discuss this with my husband. Good. Good. Can you call him on the phone? Is there any way you can get hold of him? What are you doing to me? No. I'm not going to tell my husband about our son over the phone. You know, you're really something. For three weeks, you didn't know what the hell he had. Now, all of a sudden, it has to be done immediately. Everything has to be done immediately. Well, if you took three weeks, I'm taking 24 hours. I'll let you know tomorrow, Dr. He's supposed to be the best. Well, I want my kid to have the best. He will, Lou. I don't understand it. Emotional stress. He's a happy kid. Well, you know, we've got problems. Everybody's got problems. Well, he's a sensitive boy. Maybe he picks up on our problems and gets affected by it. You think so? I don't know. Doctors don't know. They say it's just a possibility. Bobby's going to get better. Don't forget, they couldn't cure him until they knew what was wrong with him. Everything's going to be fine. You'll see. Tell me, what's happening with the money? Find the guys yet? No. I can't figure it out. There's nothing in the newspapers about anybody losing money. Wouldn't it be great if you found them and they said, oh, we don't need the money, but just petty cash. Why don't you keep it? Don't count on it. It doesn't sound like the guys I had in my cab. Here's Radio Theater. We'll return after this message from your local station. Surely your furniture looks just fantastic. Why, thanks, Jane. I wish I had such good luck. Every time I buy something new from my home, it somehow just doesn't look right and I don't know what to do about it. Well, why don't you do what I did? What? I have the designers from contemporary collections come out to my house for contemporary collections? That's right. At contemporary collections, their furniture is the finest quality in workmanship and materials. Some of it's even imported from Italy. I see. It's a classic kind of modern design. Yes, and it's durable so it'll last for years. Contemporary collections has unique and distinctive pieces. It's furniture you won't see just anywhere like your dining room suite and the sectional sofa in the living room and your wall decorations and the mirror in the hall. Visit their showroom and see designs for today's lifestyle at Contemporary Collections 12801 Midway Road, one block south of LBJ. Well, I'm the kind of man who does things right, I take pride in my work and enjoy my life and when I use cement mix I use sacrete, yeah. Sacrete will set a post and build a patio I made a barbecue pit and I was ready for more so I fixed the cracks in my driveway yesterday I made a neat flower box a brand new step and I fenced off my yard with just a little help so when I think cement mix I fix sacrete you just add water. Here's a tip from your business bureau. Each year medical crackery takes many dollars from unsuspecting people as well as endangering the health of innocent victims. Watch out for the telltale signs. There are several different types of crackery to look out for. For example, false claims for drugs, food fads and unnecessary food supplements as well as fake medical devices. Remember that they are promoters are much more interested in making money than in preserving health. Crackery in drugs includes so-called cures for arthritis, rheumatism, baldness and pills that supposedly melt away fat. Drug crackery can be very dangerous in that the victim is sometimes kept from seeing a doctor and obtaining light-saving treatment. The food crack attempts to convince the dieter that vitamin supplements are the only way to a thinner body. And once again only a doctor should diagnose a vitamin deficiency and write up the necessary prescription. A tip from your better business bureau. If you found them and they said oh, we don't need the money but just petty cash why don't you keep it? Don't count on it. It doesn't sound like the guys I had in my cab. I don't want you to think I'm crazy but I have to give this money back. I... I guess it was the way I was brought up. Well, my parents weren't Bonnie and Clyde either, you know. I'm sorry I made it sound like that. It's just that I've got this fight going on inside me. Sometimes I think I'm the one that's crazy. For wanting to give the money back. Excuse me, miss. Maybe you can help me. Were you working Wednesday at 7 at night? Uh, well, yeah. Great. Listen. Do you remember a couple of guys who were late that they were running to catch that plane that night to Miami? One was tall and thin with a mustache and the other one was shorter and heavier? It's very important that I find out who they are. You see, I need to get in touch with them as soon as possible. You're kidding. You know how many people I see every day and they're all late. They're all running to catch planes. Besides, I can't give out that kind of information. Um, look, you seem like a nice man, but I don't know. You could be a killer. Or a sicko. You don't have to tiptoe. I'm up. Put the light on. I didn't want to wake you. Where were you so late? Working. Why didn't you call? Because I picked up one fare after another. I was on a roll. I didn't want to break it. Bobby's operation is set for tomorrow. There's papers on the night table for you to sign. Give me your consent. I've already signed. Okay. So, did you give the money back? No. I thought so. What does that mean? How long is this game going to go on? Lou Moreno playing detective. If you really wanted to give the money back, why didn't you go to the police? Because it's my responsibility. I found it and I'll give it back. Hey, give me a chance. If I don't find them, I'll call the police. They may not buy your story about why you waited so long to inform them. You're shoring at the same time. Captain Moreno brought their son Bobby here several hours ago. It was reassuring. Now, with time passed, it's getting frightening. What's taking them so long? Maybe something went wrong. It's going to be dangerous. But you shut up, please. I'm nervous enough as it is. Operations take a long time. Somebody should come out and let us know how it's going. It's waiting just coming. Lou, please, sit down and stop pacing. I love that kid. Anything happens to him. Nothing's going to happen. Everything's going to be fine. If I could only change places with him, if only it was me. He's so young to know so much pain. Come on. You want to go get a cup of coffee? Do you good? No. How about something stronger? What? Like a drink? Yeah, maybe that'll help. Hey, Doc, what's going on? Nobody tells us anything. I just got here. I'll go and see if I can find out anything. Here's about us. They're coming. Everybody's got some place to go but us. Dr. Grossman comes, but he goes and he never comes back. He'll be back when he has some news for us. When we had money, they wouldn't treat us like this. Yeah. You got to be rich to get decent treatment. Maybe we should tell them about the $200,000 we got, huh? I shouldn't have let you have those drinks. I thought it would help you relax. Oh, I'm relaxed. Hey, you know something? Those guys I picked up were drinking, too. Yeah, that's right. He said I'll get the key. You paid for the drinks. What are you talking about, Lou? You're not making any sense. Sorry I didn't get back sooner, but I'll bet you can tell how it went by my smiling face. He's fine. Oh, Doctor. Look, Bobby's still under sedation, so you can't see him until tomorrow. So why don't you go home and get some rest? There's nothing you can do here. Hey, Doc, there were times I didn't think such nice thoughts about you, but right now, I want you to know that I think you're a great guy. How about a drink? It's so dark in here. You'll get used to it. What are you going to have to drink? Drink? How about a ginger ale? This place gets busy on Wednesday around six? Huh? You see, I'm trying to find a couple of guys that may have been here last Wednesday. Last Wednesday? Who remembers? Please, try. It was raining really hard that night. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. Look, friend, I don't want any trouble here. Oh, you've got it all wrong. I'm a cab driver. I picked those guys up outside and they left something in my cab. I just want to return it, that's all. Okay. Hey, Maggie, come here. Maggie's our cocktail waitress. She should hear this. Hear what? This man's a cab driver, and a couple of guys left something in his cab. He thinks maybe they were in here, right? That's right. Sorry, I can't help you. I was off last night. Well, it wasn't last night. It was last Wednesday. Okay, I'll give it a shot. So what'd they look like? Well, one was tall and thin with a mustache, and the other was shorter and heavier. They also had a few pieces of luggage with them. Oh, no. No, I don't remember. I do. They kept putting their bags out so I trip over them. Yeah, that sounds like something they do. You know who they are? Not really. I mean, they work for some real estate companies. Wait a second. They gave me one of their business cards in case I hear of anybody who's looking to buy or sell property. So they'd give me a finder's fee. Where did I put it? I remember throwing it in my pocketbook. Here, this is... No, wait a minute. Here it is. Can I help you? Yes, I'd like to see Hank, Richard, or Stuart Brocker. Well, do you have an appointment? No. Oh, I'm sorry. They're not here right now. Can anybody else help you? No. When do you expect it? In about an hour. Oh, wait. Hank, there's somebody waiting to see you. How can I help you? You can't, but I can help you. I'm usually good with faces, but I don't know yours. How are you with money? Missing any? The cab driver. You found the money. Where is it? On the floor next to you. You're a sight for sore eyes. You don't know what I've been going through. I can't believe this. You're here. The cops told me to forget about it. Write it off. They said it was a lost cause. How did you find it? It wasn't easy. You won't be sorry you did this. Here, write down your name and address. My company's going to want to make sure you get rewarded. You deserve it. Here you got it made. Look at this. All your meals in bed, your own TV. When can I move in? Hey, tell me again what he said when you return the money. Okay, just one more time. He said write down your name and address. My company is going to want to make sure you get rewarded. You deserve it. Gee, I wonder how much they're going to give you. Well, I didn't do it for a reward, but since they brought it up. He popped. What? No more will we hear derogatory terms in reference to our New York cab drivers without being able to retort. Mr. Marino, the ever increasing bad feelings that have developed towards New York and its people have been hauled in its tracks by the actions of our Brooklyn cab driver. To Mr. Marino from all New York, I want to say we love you and we thank you. Hey, Pop. Bobby, don't believe everything you hear. Why not, Lou? I believe it. Find out as soon as we park the cab. I hope nothing's happened to any of our neighbors. Mrs. Miller with Blemigo sandwiches and a thermos of coffee in case you get hungry. What you really mean is don't stop and spend any money on food. Why should you when we got plenty in the house? I got it. Hello? Big Celebrity, this is Joe from Joe's Automotive. Hi, Joe. Look, I know you're not coming to congratulate me on my television debut. I don't have any money for you right now. Probably in a couple of weeks. In a couple of weeks I'll be able to give you some. What do you mean you don't have any money? Nobody in their right mind gives back $200,000 when they don't even have enough money to pay for a break job. Hey, just a second. It's my business that I gave that money back. Well, it's my business that you owe me money. I got bills of my own to pay. Didn't you get a reward? Not yet. Well, when you get it, I want my money. You'll get it. Look, Joe, I'm not leaving town. I'm going to be in New York to rest on my life. I can't wait that long to get paid. Hey, man, I said I'm going to pay you. I'll be back. Here I go again.

What would it cost to replace your car's muffler including installation? I'd say about $50. No wait, $45. You're on $30. The aluminized Sears Muzzler is only $19.99. That's half of what I guessed. It's hard to believe on a Cadillac. That's a trippy price. With installation included. Should have known it. The Muzzler, just $19.99 installed. Each extra. Sizes to bet most American made cars. Prices may vary in Alaska and Hawaii at most Sears, Tyre and Auto Centers. I sneak in. And here's the concluding act of an honest man. I got the mail. Woody there's a lot here. Probably all built. No? Is it? What's taking them so long? They should have sent your reward by now. Call them. Me? Where's my money? Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, at least you got some fan mail. Dear Mr. Marino. This is the first time I have ever written to a person that I did not know. But you have moved me so much that I had to take pen in hand and put my feelings on paper. Oh, that's nice. I was having dinner while watching the news and after your story appeared, I lost my appetite. What? I don't think it would be so stupid as to give back the money. A lot of real estate companies have been ripping off the public for years. And finally, when a member of the public gets a good shot at them, he does nothing. He returns their money. You'd have been smarter if you had given it the charity or to people who could have put it to better use since you chose not to keep it yourself. She goes on and on. This one, the language is a little sickening. In fact, I don't know why I'm reading it. I'll get it. Mrs. Marino? Yes? Who is it, Cathy? Mr. Marino, my name is David Hoffman. I'm a reporter with CBS News. Sure, you're on TV. Close the door, Cathy. Please, Mrs. Marino, Mr. Marino, don't lock me out. It's important that I tell your side of the story. Let me tell people what's happening to you, the terrible things you've been going through. Listen, if you want to help me, you'll get off my back. The public forgets, but you've got to give them a chance to forget. Look, I've got to work. I've got to make money to support my family. I can't do that until you stop making me a celebrity. Please? Please just leave me alone. Go pick on the president. To get the mail. Enough with the mail. Oh, Lord Lou, hurry up. You open it. It's your reward. Oh, great. You're going to take care of all our bills. Let me see. $200. Those creeps. Those cheap, sadistic creeps. Easy. Easy, honey. Don't let it get to you. This waiting has been ridiculous. I've got to get back to work. I've got to start bringing some money into this house. Some reward. But you can't go out and drive. People will recognize you. You know where my fishing cap and sunglasses. Don't worry. Nobody will know me. Besides, I needed you. I needed, you know, to get back behind the wheel. I miss it. You can't sleep? No. I get hungry. Feel like talking? It's late. Go back to sleep. I'm okay. You know, if something's bothering you, I wish you'd talk to me about it. I'm your wife. I love you. I'm here. I'm here to listen to help. Don't carry it all on your shoulders. This is a partnership. 50-50. Not 80-20. I was just thinking when I was a kid, I used to go to the movies on a Saturday afternoon. I had a good guys in those pictures. The guys who caught the crooks and saved the dam from busting. What was ended up living happily ever after? I'll tell you, Kathy, those guys in those movies were in a real word today. I sure have their word cut out for them. Marino. Bob is not in his room right now. He wanted to take a walk to stretch his legs. Be back in a couple of minutes. Why don't you just go and wait in his room? Thank you. Yes? Can you tell me why the Marinos are here in the hospital? I go over to them myself, except I don't want to intrude in case they're going through something personal. Oh. Well, you see, there's some Bobby had to undergo a serious operation, but everything's just fine now. What kind of operation? I know you. You're David Hoffman from the news. I watch you all the time. Thank you. Now, could you give me some information about the Marinos? Well, I don't think I'd better. You see, we have strict orders not to talk to reporters about the Marinos. Can you tell me who performed the operation? Oh, I guess I could tell you that. The surgeon was Dr. Harold Stockwood. Lou, you seem down. I'm just thinking about how I'm going to pay for all this. Oh, come on. Let's not worry about that now. Bobby's fine. He's coming home. That's the important thing. If need be, I'll go out and get a job. I can still carry a main tray. I don't want you to have to go back to work. You should be home. Take care of Bobby. Well, I mean, when he's bad, he goes back to school. I can try to get some part, time work, maybe lunches. It won't be forever. Just for a while, then we get straightened out. I wasn't brought up when my wife had to work. Damn! Okay. Okay, I'll level with you. We sure could use the money. I guess I really can't afford to be crowned. Look at you. You're all wet. Take off your clothes. Put on your bathrobe. Wait a minute. I want to watch your news. And so there will only be a 10% chance that the rain will continue through tomorrow. And now it's time for an update on our Brooklyn cab driver, Lou Moreno. Oh, no, not again. Come on. Turn it off. Out of us were taught that, Desit, but we were taught it. I hear stories about what's happening to our honest Brooklyn cab driver, Lou Moreno. It hurts me. It angers me. It frustrates me. All he did was what we were all brought up to do, to give back what wasn't ours. And yet there are people out there who feel a need to punish him, to hurt him, to destroy him. We have found out that just after Mr. Moreno returned the money, his only son, 11-year-old Bobby, underwent major surgery. It was a very dangerous operation that he thankfully recovered from. And still, Lou Moreno returned the money because it was the right thing to do. He could have used it for hospital bills. He didn't. He still owes a lot of money to a lot of people. We should be proud of a man like Lou Moreno, a man who... Ooh. Why'd you turn it off? He's right, Lou. You look like you're ready to go. You all packed? Yep. Where's your bag? In my room. Did you remember your toothbrush? Yeah. Good. Oh, by the way, your friend Jimmy called. He's coming over to visitors this afternoon when he gets out of school. Great. He's bringing all your back homework assignments for you to get started on. Come on. Let's get going. It smells so yucky. Oh, no. Is that car honking at me? Yeah, Pop. The guy's waving at you. Oh, no, not now. Hey, are you Lou Moreno? No, no, no. I'm not. Yes, you are. And that's your wife and kid. Hey, I just want to tell you, I think you're a great guy. Huh? Well, thank you. Hey, you two better stop that. You're going to give me a big head. Bobby, go in your bedroom. Put on your pajamas. Then you can come out and have a piece of homemade chocolate cake. Lou, you want some cake with coffee? Sounds good. I got it. Mr. Moreno, I got a lot of mail for you today. It wouldn't fit in your mail, Bobby. Hi, Ruby. Hello, Mrs. Moreno. Where do you want me to put it? Well, I guess you can put it on the dining room table. Is that all for us? Oh, it can't be. It's all for you. Take it back. Tell your bosses we've moved and I didn't leave a pouring address. No, that mail. I've got to go. I'll see you tomorrow. I hope not. Don't people get tired of writing hate letters? No, Bobby. I don't want you reading any of that terrible stuff. Oh, Pa. Wait a second. What was that I just found out about? Twenty bucks. Look, the letter says, except what little I can afford and use it to your best advantage. I only wish I could send more. More money in this envelope. Well, what's going on here? Well, I guess people want to help us. Well, that's very nice of them, but we don't know them. We can't accept it. We have to return this money. Pa, all these envelopes are filled with money and the letters say they want you to keep it. I can't. Now don't make up those letters with the money you took out. We want to make sure the nice people get back the right amount. You can't do that, Lou. Not so funny. Why can't I? Because the people were smarter than you. They didn't put on any return addresses. That's right, Pa. Even Colombo couldn't find them. I need advice. I got to my mom. Why not? It's free. Now that I'm married and moving into a new house, I want all the advice I can get. So when mom says shop Sears, I listen. You should. Sears is a great help on those big items you'll need for your new home. Major appliances like washers, dryers, and refrigerators.
