 Good health to you all from Rexall, a space show presented by the makers of Rexall drug products and 10,000 independent Rexall family drugists. Good evening, this is your Rexall family drugist, taking a little time from behind the prescription counter this Sunday evening to speak for all 10,000 of us. The 10,000 independent drugists who have added the word Rexall to our own store names. You can always tell us by the orange and blue Rexall sign on our windows. The sign means that we carry the 2,000 or more drug products made with the Rexall drug company. They range all the way from aspirin to penicillin and they're as fine and pure and dependable as science can make them. We independent drugists recommend them to our customers because we know you can depend on any drug product that bears the name Rexall. Good health to you all from Rexall. And now your Rexall family drugist brings you the Phil Harris Alice Faye show, written by Ray Singer and Dick Chevrolet with Elliott Lewis, Walter Tetley, Robert North, Jeanine Rousse and Whitfield. Walter Sharp and his music, yours truly Bill Foreman and starring Alice Faye and Phil Harris. This is the time of year when most people start thinking about their summer vacations. As yet, Phil and Alice haven't decided where they're going. Phil has made a suggestion, but Alice doesn't seem to be interested. Alice, what's so silly about spending our vacation in Kentucky? I don't mind Kentucky, but who wants to go on a two weeks tour through a distillery? I thought it might be educational. Honey, how about Hawaii? I want to see something historical and educational. What's Hawaii got that's historical and educational? Hula dancers. What's educational about a hula dancer? Well, that depends on what you're majoring in. I love the hula, honey. Why don't you learn to do it, Alice? Oh, I'm not the type. And besides, it's too difficult. What's difficult about it? All you do is put on a crop of grass, then you put on another crop of grass, and then you rotate the crop. You've just got to stop watching Milton Burl on television. And stop trying to influence me about Hawaii. You've got the house full of travel folders about it. You keep playing Hawaiian music, and I'm getting emotional. That ain't true. It ain't true. I'm not trying to influence anybody. Look, I'll tell you, the children are going with us, right? We'll leave it to them. Wherever they want to go, we'll go, all right? Girls, will you come in here, men and kids? No, no, don't forget, Phil. Wherever they want to go, we go. And we'll leave it entirely up to... Oh, hello, girls. Aloha, mother. Fine romance, Nathan, as you ska. Hello, fellas, please. Hawaii. Variegated coral reefs. Dr. Blue Pacific. Kids, they can't memorize nothing. Well, you ought to be ashamed of yourself putting the girls up to this. Who, me? You know, I wouldn't try to influence the children or tell them... Daddy? What is it, Leilani? The sarongs on now. No, no, never mind. Now, girls, you just run along and forget about it. All right, mommy. Uh, girls. Uh, haven't you forgotten something? Oh, that's right. Let's do it, Alice. Aloha. I'm not going to argue with you. I'll do anything you say. Where do you want me to go? Fire since his pediatrician gave him that booster shot. Well, maybe you have a suggestion. Phil and I are trying to decide where to go on our vacation. And I don't like the place Phil picked out. Naturally. Philip, where do you want to go for your hiatus? Well, I thought we could spend it at... Oh, let's back up a little raw. Lay that on me again. Hiatus. It's a word commonly used for vacation. Hiatus? Kind of like that. Very descriptive. I must remember to use it when I write my thesis. Are you planning to go this summer? Maybe it'll give us an idea. Hmm, I'm going to rough it. I'm packing into the rugged country with nothing but my camera and food supplies. Oh, it will be exciting. Yeah, I can see you now trekking through the wilds of Griffith Park. And with naught but brownie and deviled egg sandwich. Well, if I said I'm going to rough it. Okay, we'll leave the crust on the bread. I don't see why we can't go to Hawaii. Hiya, Curly. How about you, Remly? Well, aren't we in a churlish mood today? What's eating you? I got trouble. You see, I got a hiatus. Oh, you're really in trouble. You got a hiatus and a low hooper. I got my vacation. You know something I can't get Alice to agree to go to Hawaii? Maybe you can get her to go to Hawaii. Hawaii, Hawaii, what's the difference? A lot of difference. Curly, why doesn't Alice want to go to Hawaii? She says it's going to cost too much to take the whole family by boat. Yeah, it would cost a lot if you went on one of those big ocean liners. But it wouldn't cost you much if you had your own boat. Fine, and just where does one go to buy an ocean liner? I know a guy. Cut! Nothing from them con men you get mixed up with. I ain't gonna have to... HMS Petty Bone is not a con man. He happens to be a millionaire sportsman. He's got a $45,000 yacht and he's willing to let it go at cost. How much? $137.50. Oh, 10% off, huh? That's the down payment. You can buy it for $1,200. The guy showed me pictures of the boat. It's a beautiful sloop. It's called a flying mermaid and I think you ought to... No. What do you know about boats anyway? Plenty. My uncle has his own schooner. How big is it? Holds about two quarts. If you do hitchhike out here, you're in rare form today. You're gonna have to drop. I could have to have a talk with you. Holds about two quarts. Oh, that's funny, very funny. These are the jokes. Look, you know, I do like the idea of buying a boat, though, Remly. You know something? I know a guy who sold Humphrey Bogarty's yacht. Maybe he has a second hand one that I can pick up cheap. Let's go see him, huh, Remly? Why don't we go see HMS Petty Boat? We can look at the pictures of the flying mermaid. Remly, forget the flying mermaid. I ain't interested in the flying mermaid. I don't want the flying mermaid and you're not gonna talk me into it. Oh. Now come on, let's see if this friend of mine has a boat for me. I've got a surprise for you. What is it, Phil? Alice, our vacation problem is all solved. I bought a boat. You bought a boat? Yep, we are now the proud owners of the flying mermaid. Beautiful craft, Alice. Yeah, it's a sleep that sloops ain't. And it can be converted into a sloop that sleeps ain't. Yeah, and it's got a diesel engine and it sails and it's got a... Oh, gee, it sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see it. Neither can we. I mean, you bought a boat without seeing it? Oh, honey, I'm not a sucker. The guy showed me a picture. Yeah, here's the picture, Alice. Isn't she a trim craft? She looks beautiful. And she's all yours. I bought her for you, Mom. Much $500 down in monthly payments so small you won't even feel it. Well, that's the nicest present you've ever given me. And I hope I can afford it. Well, you shouldn't buy anything without seeing it. You're probably yours. Please. Now let's not waste time talking. Now go upstairs and get your coat on because we're all going down to the Harvard to see that boat right away. Alright, I'll be right back. Yeah. Hey, you and me is going to have a lot of fun on that slip, ain't we, Scooper? Touche, we are now even, lady. We'll take a trip around the world. We'll live like sailors with a girl on every port. Yeah, we'll have a girl in... Uh-uh, I'm a retired destroyer. Eight years ago, Alice put me in dry dock, right? Hey, but we'll still have fun, Remly. You know something I had a little dream about the ocean last night? I know what this is leading to, but I can't stop you, so go ahead. Last night, I dreamed that I was down in the bottom of the sea down in that sully water. I'm at a maiden fair where the cottage's there, a little FHA3 room job, but anyway, we had it. She had a tail of a fish for a train, but woo, now woo, how that gal could entertain. And what a time I had with Minnie, the mermaid, down in the bottom of the sea. I lost all my troubles in amongst the bubbles, why she was just as sweet as she could be. And every night when the starfish came out, I hugged and kissed her so. Whoa, whoa, what a time I had with Minnie, the mermaid, down in her seaweed bungalow, low, down in her seaweed bungalow. Ouch, what a time I had with Minnie, the mermaid, down in the bottom of the sea. I lost all my troubles in amongst the bubbles, why she was just as sweet as she could be. And every night when the starfish came out, I hugged and kissed her so. Whoa, whoa, what a time I had with Minnie, the mermaid, down in her seaweed bungalow, low, down in her seaweed bungalow. And I sing with delight as I spend most the night meet that billowy ocean with you. I'm asleep in the deep, so beware. Do you like my voice? Come on, kid, you can address me as Commodore Harris. Word before the investigators. Don't be so curt, hmm? Let's start the lads' feelings. Let's take them along. In case we do a little fishing, we can throw them overboard and use them for John. Hey, Julius, you can come along. Hey, Alice, you better hurry. We're all ready to go down to the dock. I don't know, honey. Hey, look, Julius, wait here in the car, and Frankie and I'll go down to find out where she's anchored. Come on, let's hurry, Commodore. Can't wait to see it. I wonder where it is. I don't see it anchored out there. Hey, wait. Hey, there's a guy I'll ask him. Who bought the flying mermaid? Where's she anchored? You bought the... Well, what's so funny? I just want to know where my boat is. Hey, Curly, look, there must be a submarine out there. See the periscope sticking out of the water? Yeah. Hey, mister, who does that submarine belong to? You. That periscope is the mast of the flying mermaid. That's my boat. Just the mast sticking out. He anchored it right on. Now it's down. What happened? That guy you took me and sold me that broken down sunken tub. Curly, don't jump to conclusions. It's because it's underwater. Don't mean it's no good. Might be in great shape. Why don't you dive down and inspect it? I'm glad you showed up, mister. That tub's been a menace to the harbor for two months, and we've been trying to raise it. Luckily, we expected to have it up in a couple hours, but you'll have to pay the salvage costs. I'm glad to, as long as we can get it up. Hey, Frankie. I believe she's gonna sail again. Now, look, if we can only keep Alice from seeing it until they get it up, she's not... What's taking you so long? Too late. Here comes the shore patrol. Try it out there, in the water. Gee, I can't wait to see what it looks like. How do I get on board? You have your choice of a swan dive or a jackknife. Well, there it is. Straight down there. Down? That's long water, doesn't she? Maybe a little waterlogged now, but it's a well-constructed craft, and it was built by Sir Thomas Lipton. What have they built that out of, soggy? They don't get upset. The man said they'll have the boat up in an hour. In the meantime, let's take a walk. Now, come on, cheer up. Hey, I'll tell you what. Why don't you sing? Oh, Phil, this is no time to sing. Alice, you rehearsed it. We gotta pay the band. They got a strong union. Lay it on me. Now, let me have it. Hey, let's walk out on this pier and see, huh? All right. Hey, the guy said he'd tie it right up here. Hey, Alice, be careful. This pier is in terrible condition. Plankings rotted. Oh, it's a fella we talked to. Hey, bud, did you raise my boat yet? Yes. Hey, Julius, how do you like my vessel? Ron, you want to go with us, don't you? Kid, are you a sissy? Are you afraid? Are you a coward? Then what is it? Yeah, at least start the engine for us. Come on, jump on deck. Would you like to go on our boat's maiden voyage? Albuquerque. That's inland. This thing ain't going to run on land. Take this to about you and Frankie know nothing about navigation. Oh, hey, Frankie, did you hear that? Two years in the Coast Guard practically lived in whites. And she thinks that we don't know nothing about navigation. Silly girl. Yeah. Let's get started and show her. Okay. I'll batten down the barnacles. I'll tell you when the mast needs misoning. I'll give the orders. You stand on the bridge at the speaking tube and relay them to Julius. Aye, aye, sir. Stand by engine room. You didn't shinny up the mast as high as we did. Funny. Now, there's no more than a half inch of water in this boat. That's what we get for taking a short kid with us. All right, now we'll make it. Julius, get that engine. Go on. But right now, your Rexall family drugist has a customer. I've been wondering for a long time if you're ever going to run out of stories about the wonderful things that Rexall scientists do. Run out, my ma'am. I've hardly begun. For one thing, I haven't even started on the so-called little things that Rexall's men of science do to guard the quality of Rexall products. What do you mean by little things? Well, ma'am, here's an example offhand. The next time you buy a Rexall drug product that contains much glycerin, notice that the bottle has a white plastic cap. Why is that? Well, if the bottle had the usual metal cap, the glycerin in the product might turn it black. Now, this wouldn't injure the product in any way, but it would make the bottle cap a little unsightly. So, Rexall scientists take a little extra time and effort to design this nice plastic cap that will stay white and clean. Well, now there's something that even my children could understand. And they'd also understand that you can always trust the company that takes extra pains with all the little things. It's one of the big reasons why some 10,000 independent drugists have put the orange and blue Rexall sign on their windows. The sign means that we carry the 2,000 or more drug products made by the Rexall drug company. And every one of us will tell you you can depend on any drug product that bears the name Rexall. Good health to all from Rexall. We're a little late, so good night, everyone, and thanks for listening. This program is produced and directed by Paul Phillips. This is Bill Foreman Wishing. Good health to all from Rexall.
