 Your Coca-Cola bottler presents Claudia based on the play and novels by Rose Franken Brought to you transcribe Monday through Friday by your friendly neighbor who bottles Coca-Cola Relax and while you're listening refresh yourself. Have a Coke and now Claudia Hmm Another thing he wants his breakfast bow Wow In case you missed the point bow Wow, I do too You have some orange juice while I get the rest of it rough rough You do sound hungry. I'm not so especially hungry now. I'm merely trying to store up energy for the whole week Energy I am moving You mm-hmm me and bluff. What about me? Are you gonna leave me behind leave you behind? Oh, I should say not. Thank you, but you're not going to help with any of the heavy work. That's man's work Bluffs not a man. Well, he's man's best friend though. Oh You are not going to lift a finger. Not a finger maybe but how many trunks sofas arm chairs and barrels full of China Not one. It's all arranged. That sounds ominous. What's all right? You won't even notice that we're moving. It's all fixed. I did it Saturday while you were at the office What did you do now? Listen the moving men are coming on Thursday and take out everything except the beds Then on Friday morning, they'll take the beds and everything will be in East but before we even get there Yeah, is that so I just want you to know how efficient things can be We're not even even going to pack anything except our clothing that goes by express and we packed most of it yesterday They do everything else. Well, tell me do they glue all the pieces back together when they get to Connecticut? They are bonded What good is that? Oh, I thought you'd know Well, that's what they told me over the phone when I asked them what happens if something gets broken who? Who told you that over the phone the moving people they carry all moving people the carry all moving people That's a pretty name They carry all before them. I suppose and leave nothing in one piece David They leave everything exactly the way they found it just the way they found it Here oh in Connecticut, but they're not finding it in Connecticut. They're finding it here. You are impossible this morning Why don't you eat those eggs? I am eating my eggs But before I permit people to come in here and throw my possessions around I think I have a right to know a little bit about them Where did you find them anyway in the phone book? Nice smart. Mm-hmm We pick up where you leave off. That's their slogan. You'll find slogan. What does it mean? It means that they come in here and if they find a towel on the towel rack in New York They take the same towel they hang it on the towel rack in the bathroom at Eastbrook. Well, don't they send it to the laundry? David I don't think you really want to have moving people. I think you'd rather do it all yourself and complain Oh, you're all wrong darling good because they're coming up this morning to deliver the barrels what barrels for the good China and silver Thank goodness. I'll be at the office David if you're going in the bedroom take bluff with you. I want to clean off the table and he's always getting in the way You come on bluff. Let's go ladies have taken over bet you 20 cents. You didn't know you had such an efficient wife I bet you I knew it all the time. Do you really like it like what like me to be independent and efficient? Of course, I like it. You wouldn't like me better if I were just flighty and female David you didn't answer me The door must be the man with the barrel All right. All right. All right, mr. Carrier I'm coming Hello, do I have the pleasure of addressing Mrs. Norton Mrs. Norton of 12 C. Yes. Yes. I'm Mrs. Norton Good day to you Mrs. Norton. Good day. I'm Olsen of the carry-all movers. Hello, mr. Olsen You brought the barrels the barrels for the China silver glassware and other ensign arts Mrs. Norton. All right, Samson. Let's go Samson is my assistant. How do you do strong back, but not very talkative Now Let's see. Where's the best place to put those barrels? Well, uh, can't you put them in the spare room? Lucky people a spare room That Mrs. Norton is fine for you fine for your friends excellent for your family, but for barrels not so good In fact poor wouldn't you say so Samson? He agrees with me Mrs. Norton. Did you see him nod? Oh You can't leave them here mr. Olsen. We're expecting company tomorrow We shall bend every effort to make sure that by tomorrow the barrels are no longer in their present position All right Samson take your mark But he's picking up the lamp of course he is Mrs. Norton Samson is our lamp man, but mr. Olsen into the barrel with it Oh Samson how often must they tell you not to drop lamps into a barrel? Oh Lucky he didn't break that one Mrs. Norton mr. Olsen. I I didn't think you were gonna pack everything today You were just going to leave the barrels here Easy with the crown baby Samson. What did you say? Mrs. Norton? Excuse me? I said you aren't supposed to pack things today You're not supposed to do that until Thursday Mr. Olsen my husband's most important client is coming for dinner tomorrow. Ah, that's the boy Samson take it nice and easy Mrs. Norton we have our orders if you'd like to see them. Well, here they are See right there well It doesn't say anything about packing today my dear lady You cannot expect to penetrate the code of the moving business. You see that little BQ on next to your name Yes, I see well the B stands for barrels the Q stands for pack immediately The R stands for start moving out the furniture upon arrival, but the people in the office said there was not the reason why Mrs. Norton we merely bow in the direction of higher authority and go on about our business You mean you are going to move everything out today You see that little E next to the BQR on the orders. I'm afraid to ask what that means have no fear my dear lady Be a stout heart the E stands for essential. We ought to leave your essentials here until Friday What are our essentials? Well in the carry-all directive 32 a Essentials are defined as bedroom furniture three kitchen pots and enough China for the members of the household You are too I believe for we have a dog in a cat. I am not supposed to consider animals Mrs. Norton, but in certain cases I managed to make myself look the other way Well, that's very nice of you But why does it make any difference to the moving people whether we move today or Friday madam? Operations farm and that's the name. We have given a move and you must be timed Accurately in order that the final moves can be completed in accordance with a pre-arranged schedule Easy with the Linux Samson. We want no casualties here. I'm afraid I don't understand But if you want to know what I think I think it's terrible war and moving Mrs. Norton the terrible things but as we say you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs It doesn't have anything to do with omelettes that I can see Except that you're all scrambled look at it this way this afternoon We have three quarters of a truckload empty dispatched to Stanford, Connecticut We're reserving that three quarters of a truck for your furniture Tomorrow one eighth of that load will be taken off at Stanford Wednesday the other eighth will go to Reading and Friday the remainder your remainder will be delivered on schedule in Place in your house at Eastbrook, Connecticut, but they promise at all nine hundred hours Friday A truck will be here with one fourth load empty and that will take the remainder of your material Directly to Eastbrook. They promised they wouldn't move anything out of here until Friday Well, they probably said that they would leave what you need until Friday. You'll be surprised how little you'll need But Mr. Karen he was coming oh Samson Sometimes I think you lack respect for the finer things Treat that Stanford Shire as though it were your own, please Discipline and taste is an essential to a fish and moving Mrs. Norton Claudia who have you been talking? Oh, excuse me. I I didn't know you had visitors visitors David. We've been invaded. So I see Say where are you going with that China? You too? I have just been explaining to Mrs. Norton that she's guilty of a slight misunderstanding David they're going to move everything out of here today except the bedroom and three kitchen pots and the household China Well, I see here. You're not supposed to be doing that sir. I make you the same reply I made your wife. We have our orders. All right, Samson start on the silverware You're really planning to take everything out of here today, Mr. Norton Samson and I will have everything in the van by 1600 hours 1600 hours you sound like the Navy You mean four o'clock. We are like the Navy and besides when you say we'll have everything in the van I don't see you doing anything. Mr. Olson except talk your assistant seems to be doing all the work The key to efficiency is to have sufficient supervisory personnel without me the whole operation would lose its balance If you ask me the whole operation has lost its balance already and I'm losing mine with it. Uh-huh Easy with those pictures Oh Samson really one would think you have no aesthetic sense at all Well, if we want to get moved I guess we'd better let them do it today I thought I was so efficient darling. You didn't know you were fighting a civilian Navy As mr. Olson would probably say there is nothing to do but strike our colors and head back to port and I ought to go down with my ship All right, you win mr. Carry-all movers, but just be sure it gets to Eastbrook by Friday now darling. You don't have to look so heartbroken If I had done it, they'd probably never got here at all. I love you for saying so Let me put my arm around you darling while these These vandals Disecrate our home David. It's not just us What's going to happen when mr. Carrington comes to dinner and when he sits down where there isn't a chair? Well, don't worry about it darling Maybe maybe they'll leave us an old crate Every crate must be accounted for but with 7,000 restaurants in the city in New York Why do you have to entertain your friends at home that my dear mr. Olson? At least is not any of the carry-all movers business. All right Samson now Let's get that barrel out of here. Oh one a two a three Take it easy Samson. Look, it's not my intention to disrupt the natural affection between man and wife Yeah, that's kind of you, but if you two would only step aside We could get this container out into the hall. Oh, I see you want to move that container out into the hall Is that correct? Yes. Oh Claudia. Maybe we'd better Just move over here We'll move move. Did you say move? I said move. Oh David. I don't ever want to hear that word again Hmm Many of the Conveniences that have developed in America we take for granted as part of our daily lives One of these is certainly the variety store familiarly known to you as the five and ten This week ladies has been set aside as nationally advertised brands week in variety stores So when you're wandering down the aisles of your favorite store today or any day this week Keep your eye out for brands with nationally advertised labels and as you're shopping I suggest that you pause at the familiar red cooler or soda fountain and Refresh yourself with ice-cold coca-cola If you have a moment mr. King why yes, I do what's on your mind mr. Olson Why I just thought I'd advise you mr. King if ever you were in the circumstances are moving be sure to call or carry All movers remember our slogan we pick up where you leave off. I'll remember that Did you get David and Claudia moved all right as per schedule? Operations farm and is underway. Well, I don't know what they're gonna do tomorrow though when mr. Carrington comes to visit him Ah, mr. King as the poets have said where there is a will there is a way and tomorrow the Norton's will find a way Oh, excuse me. I see it's 1400 o'clock.
