You like it, you love it, like millions who say a favorite margarine. T-A-R-K-A-Y Parquet Margarine made by Kraft. It's after dinner at the Great Gelder Sleeve's house and the evening paper has been parceled out to the family. Leroy has the sports section, Marjorie has the fashion news, and the great man has the financial section, which carries the crossword puzzle on the back. Marjorie? Yes, Anki? What's an eight-letter word for an African aunt either? That's Ardvark. Ardvark? What's that? An African aunt eater. Yeah, they eat ants. I know it, Leroy. How do you spell it, Marjorie? A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K. That's the way I had it. Two A's, eh? Oh, boy. Hey, Uncle, let's go fishing at Grass Lake tomorrow. What? Look, look here in the paper, the big fish that was caught, a 90-pound swordfish. Swordfish in Grass Lake, let me see that. Leroy, this wasn't caught in Grass Lake, it was caught in Florida. Sure, but it shows they're biting. Let's go, Anki. Six o'clock. We'll have a lot of fun. Six o'clock. Mr. Banks took piggy fishing last Saturday. How many swordfish did they catch? They didn't catch anything, but they went fishing. Why don't you take Leroy fishing, Anki? Marjorie, a fish hasn't been caught in Grass Lake in three years. Besides, Leroy has to practice his piano tomorrow morning. Guys, can a little kid have one day off? I practice ten minutes every day of the week and two hours every Saturday. Faithfully. Faithfully. I have reason to doubt, young man, that you even touched the piano last Saturday. Sure I did. I must have. Let's not fear, Leroy. I happen to meet your music teacher on the street, and from her report, I don't think you went near the piano last Saturday. Well, she's prejudice. Yes. I put out good money for your music lessons. The small fortune for a very small return. Marjorie, did Leroy practice the piano last Saturday? I don't know. When it's time for Leroy's two-hour session, I always leave home. What? It's the same as you do. Well, I'll find out if he's practiced. Birdie! Yes, Mr. Guilty! Please step in here a minute, will you, Birdie? Oh, gosh, how can we have to call witnesses? You can't tell those whoppers around here and get away with them, Leroy. What do you want, Mr. Guilty? I've got a sink full of dishes out there. I've got a little boy full of fibs in here, Birdie. Leroy thinks he should go fishing tomorrow. Now tell me, did he practice the piano last Saturday morning? Well, I'm usually busy in the kitchen, Mr. Guilty. I know, Birdie, but you can hear Leroy playing in the kitchen. You can hear that touch all over the house. Did you hear it? Well... Yes or no, Birdie? Well, I usually have the window open on Saturday morning. A lot of ambiguous noises coming in and out. Birdie, did you hear the piano? Well, I heard something. You dead? Of course it could have been a good human man. All right, Birdie. Very evident Leroy did not practice his piano. What do you think I should do with a boy like this? I think you should take him fishing. Oh, my goodness. So do I. So do I. Well, I'm not taking you fishing until you learn to tell the truth. Good evening, Margaret. Hello there, Leroy. Hi. What's the matter with Leroy? He's in the doghouse tonight. Well, is the Lord of the Manor in? He's upstairs shaving, Judge. He'll be down in a minute. Well, I thought we might have a little game of checkers. She has a day. Oh. And I don't have time to play checkers tonight, Judge. So I see. You did a nice job of shaving, Gilbert. Smell nice, too. Don't go sniffing, you old goat. That Bay rum is not for your benefit, believe me. Sorry, I can't play checkers with you, Horace. Good night. Well, as long as you're leaving, I'll walk away with you. I'm just going that door to add lines, Judge. Well, I'll walk that far with you. I don't think I should go in now. I don't either. Good night, Marjorie. Good night. Good night, Leroy. Leroy, say good night. What seems to be the matter with Leroy? Uncle Mort won't take him fishing in the morning. You bet I won't. Why don't you take him, Gilday? It's none of your business, Judge. Or do you think you'll be too tired to get up and go fishing in the morning? After all the angling you'll do tonight. I'm not taking him for a very good reason, Horace. I caught him in a lie about practicing his piano. Leroy, a lie? Yes. Little white ones grow into big ones, Leroy. If I've told him once, Judge, I've told him a hundred times anyone who tells lies is bound to get into trouble. And you're in trouble. Oh, that's too bad. I hate to see the boy unhappy. That's all right. I think I'll go up to bed. Now, Leroy, don't you go to bed feeling sorry for yourself. This hurts me more than it does you. Why go to bed so early? I'll stay and play a game of checkers. Good idea. Go to bed, Leroy, and stay there. And I don't want to hear anymore about fishing. You understand? What is it now, Leroy? Good night, Leroy. Let's get out of here, Judge. Gracious Brock Morton, where's your mind tonight? Well, it's certainly... I'm just sitting here like a knot on a log. Certainly it has, Adeline. No, it hasn't. Your mind hasn't been on me at all. Come on, let's do something. Let's sing a song. Sing? Oh, Adeline. Come on. Well, that might boost my spirits a little. Well, come along then. I was at the garden store today and picked up some jolson music. Let's start off with Sunny Boy. Sunny Boy? I bought it with you in mind. I imagine you sung it many times to little Leroy as he climbed upon your knee. Yeah, yeah. Little Leroy. If you don't mind, Adeline, I'd rather not sing Sunny Boy tonight. Oh, come on now. The interruption. Well... I'm upon my knee, Sunny Boy. You are only three, Sunny Boy, Sunny Boy. It's so sad. Gracious. I think I'd better go home. But Rockmore and it's only nine o'clock. I know, but I have to get up at six o'clock in the morning. What for? I haven't seen. Take little Leroy fishing and have a lot of fun. You do the fishing, Leroy, and don't rock the boat while I'm reading. Oh, what are you reading? This paper that Birdie wrapped our lunch in. She would wrap it in the one ad section. Too bad, auntie. I don't know. Here's a place where we could buy fish and it's on the way home. Let's go, Leroy. Let's go. We've been out here three hours and nothing's happened. But you know how to fish, Aronk. We travel in schools. They'll be by pretty soon. Yes, yes. My neck's getting sunburned. Let's go home. Oh, Aronk. Why don't you turn around in the boat? I did that when my nose turned red. Let's pull up anchor, Leroy. Everybody has left the lake. Just one more hour, Aronk. No, Leroy. You see? There's a boat still on the lake. A motor boat. It's probably our joy riding. No. No, there aren't any girls in the boat. No. It could be the game warden, then. Oh, heck. Can we have any fish to show him? Hope he stops. Maybe he can convince you there aren't any fish in this lake. Yeah, it's the warden, all right. They always make a lot of noise around Fisherman. Now, I bet he says, what are you doing? Fishing? Hello there. Hello. What are you doing? Fishing? Yeah. He looks sunny boy. He's sunny boy. No. Haven't started biting yet today, but I know they're here. Yeah. I suppose you have your license. Well, the boy doesn't need one. He's only 12, but size 16. Yeah. Stand up in the boat for the warden, Leroy. Never mind. How about you? Me? I'm not dumb enough to come out here fishing. You're out here. I just rode my nephew out. Yeah? Yeah. Now, let's not get tough with a game warden, big boy. Well, let's not get tough with me, either, buster. I happen to be Throckmorton P. Gillesley, the water commissioner. I don't care if you're King Neptune, you have to have a license to fish. I'm not fishing. There's nothing I like better than a slap of fine on guys who get tough with a game warden. There's nothing I like better than a turn off the water or guys who get tough with a water commissioner. Where do you live? I have my own well. Don't let me catch you fishing. I'm not fishing. I've heard that story before. Him and his big bags. Well, that does it, Leroy. We're pulling up anchor. We're going home. Leroy, what did I tell you about telling you? Dude, pull it up, Leroy. Get your line back, Leroy. It may be a school day. Get your line. Grab it, Leroy. Let me pull him in, Leroy. Come on. Give me that pole. I can't catch him. Well, horse him in, then, Leroy. There's one waiting on you. We'll be back with a great gildus leave in just a minute. The other day, Marjorie stopped me just long enough to tell me about a party she was giving that night. All the girls are coming over and Birdie's going to make stacks of waffles. I'll bet I know what's going on top of those waffles. Parquet margarine, right? Naturally. Birdie always serves Parquet. Smart gal at Birdie. Delicious Parquet is the perfect topping for rolls, muffins, and pancakes as well as waffles and bread. It's the favorite spread in millions of American homes. Parquet even improves Birdie's waffles, and that's going some. That fresh, wholesome Parquet flavor always makes good things taste better. Parquet is nourishing, too. Only choice farm products go into Parquet, and each tasty pound is fortified with 15,000 units of essential vitamin A. Another important thing, Parquet, a margarine of craft quality, actually costs less today than it did a year ago. Well, I'm glad Birdie is serving Parquet as a topping, simply because it tastes so good. That's the reason millions of women serve Parquet margarine. It tastes so good. Parquet is a better buy for both bread and budget. Try it, friends. Next time, ask for Parquet margarine. That's P-A-R-K-A-Y made by Crafts. Well, let's get back to things in Summerfield. A car is pulling up in front of the great Gilder Sleeves house occupied by one sunburned uncle, one happy nephew, and eight very surprised fish. Hey, fishin', I had a wonderful time. That's fine, Leroy. Leroy ate great big bass, and I caught every one of them. Let's not gloat, Leroy. Oh, sorry you didn't have a license, son. It's quite all right. Just along for the ride. Let's get out, Leroy, and take your fish with you. Oh, but you didn't catch any. You can have them. What? So long, huh? Leroy, you come back here and clean these fish. Oh, God. Yeah. After you were so nice to take me fishing, I wouldn't think of skipping my piano lessons. Leroy. And I'll practice it. I can't clean fish. I can't stand the way they look at me with those big brown eyes. Oh, Bertie. Bertie. Guess what I have here. I don't have to guess how you see. Fish. No, Bertie. You're very much in favor of us going fishing. I was in favor of you going, but I didn't think you'd be bringing any back. Well, take them along, Bertie. We'll have them for dinner. We'll have them for dinner all right, just as soon as you get them cleaned. Yeah. But, Bertie, Leroy and I caught the fish. Now it's up to someone else. This calls for a little cooperation. Well, you can count on Bertie to cooperate. There ain't nobody can cook fish any better than Bertie can any time you get them cleaned. I know, Bertie, but you don't... That's one thing I'll say to me. Nobody can cook fish any better than Bertie any time you get them cleaned. Bertie, that's not cooperating. Mr. Gillsley, when I cook steak, I don't dress no stare. You know who takes care of that? Somebody way back in Kansas City. They don't look to Bertie. Bertie, I can't take these fish to Kansas City. They've got to be cleaned. That's right. They've got to be cleaned before they cook. Now stand here, ready to cook them just any time you get them cleaned. Oh, my goodness. That's one thing you can count on from Bertie. Cooperation. Cooperation. Yes, I better take them around in the back. Maybe I can find some place to bury them. Leroy doesn't like fishing. Oh, hello, Adeline. I'm sorry if I sounded a little upset last night when you left so early. But I thought it was marvelous of you to take Leroy fishing. I thought it was marvelous of you to take Leroy fishing. So did I last night. Oh, look at the fish. Did you catch all those? You great big fish among you. Well, Leroy, that is, Leroy and I did have a pretty successful morning. Well, I'm so proud of you, Rockmore. Right. And gracious, you got such a gorgeous tan, too, on your neck and your cute little nose. Mm-hmm. Don't touch it. Oh, I wish I had my camera so I could take pictures of you holding those fish. I never saw such big ones. What are they, flounders? Flounders? No, I just sat on this one. Bass. They are pretty nice, aren't they? Well, I won't keep you. I imagine you want to get cleaned up. Cleaned up? Mm-hmm. Well, I may just go downtown for a minute with a fish. Yeah. How's the water department today? Oh, hello, Floyd. How do you think of these? Hey, Bass, they're beautiful. Yeah, quite a string. Say, ain't you lively getting into trouble sainting fish out of your reservoir like that? Floyd. There are no fish in my reservoir. That's the only kid in commission. He's come from Grass Lake. Yeah, I didn't think there was any there either. Did you catch all those yourself? Well, true sportsman doesn't like to gloat, Floyd. Who do you suppose caught them? Gosh, when you asked me to go. Well, took the boy along. Oh, you took the kid out, huh? Great stuff, commission. Did he catch any? Oh, yes. How many? Well, as a matter of fact, he caught exactly this many. Well, I'll be darned. I didn't know there was biting. He got to know how to catch them, Floyd. Look at this big one. Ever see a gamer looking fish? He's gamey, all right. Huh? I don't want to rush you out of the shop, commission, but you're going to take them home now. Huh? I had them home, but nobody was very interested in them. It wasn't? Hey, I got an idea. Lovey's out of town. Why don't we have a fish fry over to my house tonight? Fish fry? Sure. Invite all the Jolly Boys over. It's Saturday night. We'll throw a wing thing. Sounds great. I'll go around and invite the Jolly Boys. Okay. And leave the fish here for you to clean. Sure. Wait a minute. Well, Floyd, you're handy with a razor. You can scale them in a jiffy. Me, a licensed barber, scraped fish. What do you want me to do? Lose my professional standing? But, Floyd. What kind of clientele people think I got? Come in here and find fish scales all over the floor. But they have to be clean, Floyd. And the man who furnishes the fish shouldn't have to clean them. Okay. You caught them. I furnished the house, but somebody else cleaned them. How about the peeve? Peevey? Yeah, he's got the equipment there at the soda fountain. I'll bet he could clean them between customers. Yes. I don't know if peevey will go for that, Floyd. Ah, you can convince them, commission, and don't wait too long. And then fish are getting pretty tired, huh? Come on, I'll show you how to do it. Yeah. You could have a lot of fun at Floyd's tonight. I can never get these fish cleaned. I better keep them behind my back till I find out how peevey feels about these things. Uh, hello, peevey. Oh, hello, Mr. Jones for you. Beautiful day, peevey. Yeah, Jones? Yes. Been beautiful all day. What are you doing to me? You bet. The air's warm. Birds have been singing. The fish have been biting. I've been too busy to notice. Huh? What are you doing, peevey? I'm working a crossword puzzle. Crossword puzzle? Hey, Mr. Jones, what's an eight-letter word for African anteater? The African... Oh, that's art bark. Everybody knows that. I didn't. It starts with two A's. A, A... Wait a minute, peevey. You're a little behind on your puzzles. That's yesterday's. Yes, I know that, Mr. Jones. Actually, I always work yesterday's puzzles. What? Then if I really get you, Doctor, I can always look up the answer in today's paper. Oh, my goodness. Peevey, put down that puzzle and take care of your customers. Oh, finally. What can I do for you, Mr. Gillisley? Well, nothing. Peevey went out to Grass Lake this morning. Yeah, right for him. To fish. Any luck? Any luck. Take a look at these, peevey. Do you ever see a more beautiful string of fish? Never in my drugstore. Did you catch all of those? Did I catch them? Well, here they are. Would you mind keeping them below the counter, Mr. Gillisley? I never cared very much for fish. Oh, that's too bad, peevey. The Jolly Boys were going to have a big fish fry tonight. I'm furnishing the fish. Floyd's furnishing the house. But I guess you wouldn't care to come. Well, I wouldn't say that. You would? Well, great. Then I imagine you'd like to cooperate with us and clean the fish. You know, I wouldn't say that, either. Now, tell me what I will do, though. I'll furnish the coax. The coax? But who's going to clean the fish, peevey? Have you tried Chief Gates down at the jail? He's a nice, immutable Jolly Boy, the Chief. Say, he might clean them. He probably has an empty cell you can use. Now, I don't imagine the prisoners are in any position to object. Good idea, peevey. Bring the coax, and we'll see you at Floyd's tonight. Well, I'll make the go of it, then. Now, it wouldn't be a surprise if Leroy caught those fish. Nice job you're doing there, Chief. Well, thank you, Commissioner. The least I can do is clean them after you caught them. You must be quite a fisherman to pull in big ones like these. Well, I gotta know how to do it. How'd you happen to go out, Commissioner? Leroy wanted to go, and I nearly didn't take him. Discipline. Nothing serious, I hope. Oh, no, no. I just caught him in a little white lie about his piano practice. Well, you have to watch those little lies. Sometimes they grow pretty big. Oh, yeah. Well, gentlemen. The Game Warden. What are you doing here in the cell, Chief? Cleaning fish? Yeah. Oh, hey, George. Fine. Just came in to report a few game-raw violators. Well, hello, Water Commissioner. Hello, Mr. Orton. Hey, that's a beautiful string of bass you caught there, Chief. Well, I'd like to say I caught them, but that wouldn't be the honest thing to say. Mr. Gildersleeve here caught them. Gildersleeve? Oh, I'd love to catch up with a guy who gets tough with a Game Warden. The idea. City official fishing without a license. What's this, Commissioner? Well, come to think of it, Chief. I didn't really catch these fish. But I thought you said... I didn't say I caught them, Chief. I just didn't say I didn't. Little Leroy caught them. Leroy? I don't see how a little tyke like him could pull in big fish like these. But, Chief... Water Commissioner, I'd like to ask you a few questions in the Chief's office. Oh, wait a minute. Chief, you believe me? Mr. Gildersleeve, I think I'd like to wipe my hands of this whole thing. Do you realize what an embarrassing position you've placed me in? What? Chief, a police cleaning. Illegal fish. They're not illegal, Chief. I wasn't even fishing. Call Leroy. He'll tell you the truth. All right. I'll call the boy. I want this cleared up as much as you do. I'm innocent. I've got a witness. You better have. Follow... Hello? Leroy, this is Mr. Gates. Oh, hi, Chief. There seems to be a little discussion downtown about who caught those beautiful fish today. Oh, yeah? At first, your uncle led me to believe he caught them. He did? Now then, who really caught them? Well, caught them. Give me that phone, Chief. Leroy, you caught those fish and you know it. Sure, I did. You can get out of that within just a minute. If you've never served parquet margarine, lady, try it. You'll love that wholesome, fresh flavor. You'll join the millions of women who have found that parquet is the perfect topping for bread, rolls and muffins, for pancakes and waffles. Parquet is made from only the choice products of fine American farms. And each tasty pound is fortified with 15,000 units of vitamin A. It's a favorite spread for America's bread, and it's the spread that's winning new friends every day. Millions of women first tried it because they knew it was economical. It's now their day-in-day-out favorite because it tastes so good. Next time, ask for parquet margarine. P-A-R-K-A-Y made by Kraft. I've given you a break. You nearly gave me a fine, Leroy. Remember, always tell the truth. Sure. Yes, sir, you can't go wrong if you tell the truth. Yeah, now eat your fish. I think we should all toast Leroy the mighty fisherman. Yeah, that's a good idea. No, no, wait, gentlemen. I propose that we sing a song for our honored guest and provider, the young Isaac Walter Newpair. Oh, judge, I thought you said a song, not a speech. Hey, how about he's a jolly good fellow? Okay. Hoorah, have a jolly good friend. Leroy, we'll do the singing. Do you want all the credit? Here we go. Hoorah, he's a jolly good fellow Hoorah, he's a jolly good fellow Leroy's a jolly good fellow My boy, good night, folks.
