The Jack Benny is at home this evening, where he is packing for a sudden and unexpected trip to New York City. Mary Livingston is with him. So without further ado, we take you to Jack's home in Beverly Hills. Take it away! Now let's see. One, two, three... Uh, what else do you want me to do, Jack? Uh, just a minute, Mary. Three, four, five, six. Mary, do you think I ought to take six of these to New York? Oh, take them all. No, these will be enough. I'll take six. Take the whole box. How much does Kleenex cost? That's not the point. I'll just take six. If I had a cold, it would be different. Now let's see, uh... Jack, what are you going to New York for anyway? I told you I'm going there on business for a couple of days. I'm considering a part in a Broadway play. Are you kidding? No, I'm not kidding. I've had my fling in pictures, and now I'm going to tackle the legitimate theater. In fact, I'm toying with Shakespeare. Why don't you get a yo-yo and leave him alone? Now, Mary, I'm serious. One of these days, you'll see a big electric sign on Broadway, Hamlet, starring John Benny. John Benny? Who's that? Me. I'm going to change my name. Well, here we go again. I know what I'm doing. You can jest, Mary, with a little experience, I may become one of the leading interpreters... Interpreters? What's that? If I don't get away from Phil Harris, I'll go nuts. Mary, with a little experience, I may become one of the leading interpreters of the immortal bard. Now, let's finish this packing. Okay. Hey, Romeo. Are thou taking this hot water baggie? Certainly, it's cold New York. I want that hot water bag, my heavy muffler, those galoshes, my mittens, and that brick. What are you taking a brick for? I'm going to heat it and put it in my bed. Now, let's see. What else? Hello, Miss Limson. Hello, Rochester. Rochester, my plane leaves in a couple of hours. Did you alter my tuxedo like I told you to? Yes, sir. Here it is. Alter your tuxedo? I'm not sure to take these satin cuffs off the sleeves. They're all right, but they're a little dated. That belt in the black ain't exactly Cafe Society. Well, no, but I may buy a new one in New York. Here, pack my tuxedo, Mary. Okay. Say, Jack, what's this deep pocket for in the back? Where? Right here on the inside. Oh, that. I did a magic act for a while in Borderville, and that's where I kept my rabbit. That was a pigeon, boss. It was a rabbit. A pigeon. Rochester, I ought to know. I'm telling you, I kept a rabbit in that pocket. Okay, it was a rabbit. You're darn right. And that egg I found was a moth boy with a yolk in it. That was a pigeon, and I used it in my violin act. Oh, boy, was that corny. No, Mary, it was one of the most beautiful things I ever did. Gee, I remember that act. I used to come out on the stage in an amber spotlight and play the glow worm. The glow worm? Yes, and near the finish of my number, Natalie would... that was the pigeon. Natalie would come out and fly around the whole auditorium, and just as I'd hit the last high note, she would swoop down right on the end of my violin bow and stand there with a neon worm in her mouth. The effect was simply wonderful. And then for an encore, the pigeon would sit up on my head and coo while I played waters of the Minnetonka. That pigeon was so cute sitting there. Remember the night she got knocked off with a tomato? You never even saw the act. It was sensational. What ever would become of that pigeon, boys? Oh, we split up. And, you know, Natalie isn't doing so well. I saw her in a pot pie at the Brown Derby the other night. Gee, Mary, we better... You're still tender, though. Mary, we better hurry with this packing or I'll miss my plane. Do you want this string? That's a tie packet. Oh, Rochester, I want you to take care of our border, Mr. Billingsley, while I'm away. You know, see that he gets his meals on time and everything. I don't want to be alone with that man. I tell you, boys, he's cuckoo. Oh, you're always saying that. What's he done now? Well, last night he put on a fur coat and told me he was a beaver. A beaver? Oh, he was probably just going to a masquerade party. Well, he came back later and built a dam across the swimming pool. What? You mean to say he built a dam clear across my swimming pool? Yeah. Well, why didn't you go out and catch him? I tried you and he told me he was out of season. Well, he better clean out that pool while I'm gone. Say, Jack, where's that mechanical man Mr. Billingsley invented? Oh, he's around somewhere. Rochester's scared to death of that robot. I'm scared of anything that nicks my razor when I hit it. Back a couple of those... See who's at the door, Rochester? The door? Yeah. Maybe it's the salesman selling something we got enough of. Hey, let's find out. Okay. Never saw such a lazy guy. Mary, pack a couple of turtleneck sweaters. I'll lead them in. Sweater over those ears. I pull them up from the bottom like a girdle. How do I get them over my ears? Let's see. I hope I didn't forget anything. It's Mr. Harris, boss. Hello, Phil. Hiya, Mary. Hey, Jackson, here's that suitcase you wanted. Thanks, Phil. It's nice of you to lend it to me. Boy, get a load of those labels on it. Yeah, I had it with me last summer when I was on the road playing them one-night stands. Oh. Hey, Jack, look at this label here. Rip Carlton Hotel, empty jug, Texas. Empty jug? That's us. Kill them and fill them. I never heard of the town. Where is empty jug, Phil? It's about 50 miles this side of Bottoms Up. Oh, fine. All those jerk water towns. Phil, why don't you get booked into cities like Fort Worth or Galveston or San Antonio or Dallas? Leave me alone, Jackson. I know my market. I'm glad you do. At least you're not kidding yourself, Phil. I'll give you credit for that. Yeah, credit. Oh, Dennis, I didn't see you come in. Well, I finished mowing your lawn, Mr. Benny. Is there anything else? No, that's about all. What do I owe you, Dennis? Well, two hours at 50 cents an hour. That's 75 cents. Oh, what a kid. Dennis, you're cheating yourself. 50 cents an hour for two hours is a dollar. It wasn't last week. Dennis, that's about all. Okay. You mind if I go in the other room and practice my song? No, no, go right ahead. Go in the living room, Dennis. There's a piano there. Thanks. Well, Mary, my suitcase is about full. We'll start on Phil's now. Open it up. Okay. You surprise how many things you have to take with you. Hey, Phil, what's all this stuff in here? Oh, those are the posters we put up when we're on the road. Let's see one of them. Well, I'll be darned. Coming next week to the Trianon livery stable. Phil Harris and his barefoot serenaders. Phil, don't your boys wear shoes when they're on the road? Ah, we don't want to make our audience feel self-conscious. Oh, I see. Now, Mary, take these posters out of Phil's bag and put my wool socks in it. Oh, Jack, you're taking too much stuff with you. No, I'm not. Now, Mary, fold these things neatly. I'll need all the space I can get. Okay. Well, hand me my dressing robe, will you? Here you are, Jackson. Thanks. I know you've taken chances in New York, you know, it's pretty cold there. Burs to New York with me? I already packed your galoshes. Well, there for snow. I want the rubbers in case the snow turns to rain. Why don't you take some skates in case the rain turns to ice? Skates? Say, that's not a bad idea. Pack them, too. Why don't you take a spoon in case the ice turns to ice cream? Oh, quiet. I'll be going out nights in New York, so I'll need a... Oh, Rochester. Yes, boys. A run-next door to Mr. Ronald Coleman's house and ask him if I can borrow his opera hat. It's hanging in your closet now. Oh, yes. I borrowed it from my cousin Rita's wedding. She's had twins twice since then. Oh, it hasn't been that long. Oh, I know what I need. Now, go over and ask Mr. Coleman to lend me his black evening cake. That'll come in handy with my full dress suit. You mean his full dress suit? All right. Go borrow it. How do you know he's got an evening cake? I've seen him wear it in three pictures. Go get it, Rochester. I wouldn't borrow anything else from Mr. Coleman, boss. I don't think he likes you for a neighbor. Ronnie? What are you talking about? We're very good friends. Did you see that sign he put up in front of his yard? What sign? House for sale as soon as I get my clothes back. Well, there's a smart, alecky thing to do. What does he think he is, anyway? He must be pretty sore at you, Jackson. Who cares? Why should I worry about Coleman? He never listens to my program, anyway. How can he? We've had his radio for two years. Well, it's going back first thing in the morning. Needs new tubes, anyway. Now, let's see. Mary, stop jumping up and down on those shirts to get them in the suitcase. You're not making wine. Got too much stuff in here. Not if you pack them right. Be neat. That's how you got fired at the maid company. We ought to get something from them pretty soon, don't you think? Even if it's just a little handkerchief, you know. Hello, Mr. Bellingsley. Good evening, Mr. Benny. Getting ready for a trip, I see. Yes, yes, I'll be away for a few days. I'm flying to New York. Flying, eh? Would you like to borrow my magic carpet? No, no thanks. I'll take the plane. After all, New York is pretty far to go on a magic carpet. I'll be glad to put a hostess on it. No, no, thanks. Just the same. I'll just be an old stick in the mud and take the plane. I hope you'll be comfortable while I'm gone. Oh, don't worry. Mr. McDougal will keep me company. Mr. McDougal? That's the robot. Oh, oh, oh, oh. By the way, how is Mr. McDougal? Oh, he's been in a frightful mood all day. I think I'll have his oil changed. His oil changed, eh? Would that help? Always helps me. Mr. Billingsley, I'll go on with my packing. Of course. Good night, Mr. Benny. Good night. Well, I never know. You know, that guy is a little eccentric, but I can't help liking him. Does he always carry a bunch of bananas over his shoulder? No, this is the first time. Well, I might as well finish my packing. Now, let's see. What else do I have to do? There's the buzzer. I wonder if I took along enough handkerchiefs. Oh, sure. You got plenty. Yeah, I guess so. All right. Mary Men refer to them as shorts. I'll buy new ones in New York. Why don't you buy us something until he removes that sign from his front yard? Announcing Mr. Don Wilson. You don't have to be so formal, Rochester. Hello, Don. Hi, Don. Hello. Over some cream puffs. I asked you for ear muffs that's cold in New York. The silliest thing I ever heard of. Oh, I'm sorry. Put these cream puffs in my suitcase. I'll eat them on the plane. Thanks, Don. Oh, you're welcome. Rochester, get the car out of the garage. We'll be leaving for the airport pretty soon. Yes, sir. Phil, help me close this suitcase, will you? Okay, Jackson. He was darn nice of you to loan it to me. Ah, don't mention it. A friend in need is a friend in deed, like my teacher says. Oh, so you're studying proverbs at the night school now, eh, Phil? Yeah, here's another one. Early to bed and early to rise won't help those bags under your eyes. He has to have proverbs. Is the penny earned? Say, that's good. I ought to remember that. Remember it, you wrote it. Mary, believe me. I never heard of that proverb before in my life. By the way, Jack, what time does your plane leave? In about... Say, look what time it is. We better get a move on here. Come on, Phil, help me close this suitcase. You've got too much stuff in there, Jackson. Well, look, I'll sit on it and you snap the lock. Okay. There. Now, snap the lock, Phil. Careful now. I'll be all right. Snap it. Okay. We're making pretty good time. What are you talking about? We should have been at the... Don't forget, Mary, we had a few hills on the way. For anybody. You'll get out the same as everybody else. Can't we go just a little bit faster? What does this pedometer say? Take your choice. There's no needle on it. My bags and everything. See, it's a beautiful night, though. What are you blowing the horn for, Rochester? I want to pass that catalog. Well, I certainly won't go to his house and I doubt that I'll run into him on the street. Oh. You see, Allen never goes outdoors in the wintertime due to thin blood and shoes. Jackson, you ought to use that on the program sometimes. No, I'm not kidding, Phil. The souls on Allen's shoes are worn so thin that he can stand on a lawn and feel the grass growing. Make a note of that, Mary. I could use that gag. Write it yourself. How can I write? I got to wave this lantern. Do you want somebody to bump into us? And listen, fellas, I don't... Don't worry about me. We still have a lot of time, so let's relax and enjoy the ride. Everybody, you too, Harris. I don't want any lawsuits. Here we go. Thanks, Don. Thanks. It's Jello's new recipe book. It has 365 desserts in it. One for each day of the year. Swell, swell. I'll read it, Don. Say, Mary. And if you'll notice, Jack, it has beautiful colored illustrations. Yeah, I noticed. But attempt even the most. But I'll read it. How much does my baggage weigh, Don? And if you want additional coffees, Jack, just send a dime, 10 cents to Don Wilson, Bag Creek, Michigan. I'll read it. I'll read it. I mean, I'll send it, Don. I'll send it. How much does my baggage weigh, Mr. Well, you're allowed 40 pounds on your ticket and your bags weigh 90. That's Rochester. Take them out of the plane. Oak is the excess, Mr. 50 pounds. It's 75 cents a pound. That's... Open the bags. New York. I'm no sissy. Take it out. Your plane is leaving in a second. Well, it'll weigh, it'll weigh. Take out those sweaters, Rochester. Oh, wait a minute. It'll be so formal. Well, what about those galoshes? Take one of them out. He can hop through the snow. Take them both out. Take them out. Stop and put it back in the car. Okay. What about these woollen mufflers? Take them out. Address her. How about these mittens? Take them out. They'll be sure and take care of everything. I'll be back in a few days. I'll wire you first and you can meet me here at the airport. Take those off, too, Mary. Take them out. Take them out. They'll be home any time, Rochester. Keep an eye on Mr. Billingsley. And don't let that robot go roaming all around the house. Well, goodbye.
