 I'm olive soap your beauty hope and luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous Corressible hair bring you our miss Brooks starring Eve Arden Most teachers take a pretty active interest in their schools various athletic teams But our miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School could never get too enthusiastic about the baseball team That is until mr. Boynton Madison's bashful biologist took over the coaching job Then I watched every game with avid interest. I even studied up on baseball terms until by the third game on Madison's schedule I could accurately describe every play in every checker And I even knew the names of the pitchers warming up in the pig pen a bullpen Last Thursday morning, I really look forward to picking up some firsthand knowledge of the game Walter Denton the manager of the team and stretch snot grass its star player were to pick me up and drive me to school I had asked my landlady. Mrs. Davis to wake me promptly at 7 30. Oh, Connie Get up Connie. Hmm. You want me to pinch it? Oh I do hope you're safe Connie. Oh safe safe. Where from the looks of your bedsheets. You just slid into home plate Now get up here Walter and stretch should be here soon. Oh, that's right. The Rover boys are picking me up today Aren't they there are a grand couple of kids Connie and they're always together I've never seen two people so inseparable just like mr. Boynton and myself except that we're separable I'd like to wear something sporty today. Let's see now. What do I have that looks real baseball-ish? How about your gray dress with a wide-spreading sleeve? No, not today, although it does make me look a little like a bat How about your seersucker house dress? No too formal A light green gabardine suit with a smart cardigan jacket. Perfect. I'll get it for you right away, Connie Well, thanks a lot. Mrs. Davis. Where is it in Sherry's department store? It'll cost you 110 dollars There you go teasing me again By the way, the boys weren't together last night. I wonder why I ran into stretch at the movies He was sitting with a girl. That's why Who is the girl Harriet Conklin Harriet Conklin, but she's Walters girl. Oh Then maybe that's why stretch cornered me in the lobby and asked me not to breathe a word of it to a living soul What does that make me? I know it just slipped out but whatever you do, Mrs. Davis, don't let it slip out in front of Walter Don't even bring up the subject of movie. Oh, I won't Connie I know how awful it is when somebody comes between two people who belong together me too, Mrs. Davis I've learned that little lesson the hard way through my association with mr.

I Will stretch, you know in a lot of ways you two are just like Lenny and George especially Lenny Yeah, I don't how could Walter get to be manager of the baseball team if that's all the smarty was Walter wasn't my candidate for Lenny.

That's girls. I gotta take old stretching and you better use two hands Yeah, he's all together too shy and retiring when it comes to the fair sex. Oh, I am not you are too. I am not you are too I'm laying eight to five myself Not to change the subject too obviously, but what are we doing on this street? Is this a shortcut to school? Oh, no miss Brooks.

We can pick her up and keep right on going to school Please stretch. I didn't mean for you to pick her up on the fender Hi, Walter. Good morning Harriet. Welcome aboard. I'll hold the door for you Harriet. Get in back with me. Thanks, Walter Hello Well, let's go Notice how much wider the back seat is Harriet.

Oh boy, oh boy Oh Say Harriet about last night. I'm sorry. I couldn't take you to the movies But I had to work on the baseball schedule. Oh, I wouldn't want you to overlook the schedule, Walter Don't worry about me. I had a thoroughly wonderful evening. Oh, did you go to the movies anyway? Of course with who with whom Walter you see after the word with which is the With whom did you go with Harriet? Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd boy I'm sure glad baseball season is here boy. I sure like baseball boy. Don't you miss Brooks and how boy I sure like baseball boy. Don't you Harriet old boy? Personally, I think there's nothing like a real romantic movie Provided, of course, you're seeing it with the right party Me too But like I just asked you who are you with whom? And I think I can answer that question Walter Mr. Boynton and I saw the same movies that Harriet saw. Oh, what did you all see? Oh, it was the ideal picture for mr. Boynton and myself John Garfield and Jennifer Jones and we were strangers But miss Cronk, I didn't see you there. Did you stretch? Well, how could he have seen anybody at the movies? He had to help his dad at the pet shop At least that's what he told me he had to do last night. Sure, Walter That's what I did have to do at the time when you asked me Well, here's the school that old Madison put the brake on stretch. Where's the school miss Brooks? Just one block back stretch You'll have to sharpen your reflexes a little Don't bother backing up the walk will do it's good. Okay, if you'll all get out here. I'll find a place to park Oh, you wait a minute. I want to get something settled Did you go to the movies last night stretch? Sure pal My dad decided to close early and I got 50 cents for helping out So I just up and went and I guess you just up and ran into Harriet, huh? Well, we did sit together walter my girl my best girl and my best pal seeing movies behind my back How long have you been showing movies on your back? Oh really, walter you're taking this much too seriously, please miss Brooks. I'll handle this in my own way Stretch you've made a fool out of me. Oh, could I walter? Good question There's only one way to settle this thing meet me behind the handball court after school But walter you can't mean you want to fight. I must I must get satisfaction Satisfaction you'll get fractured Now let's discuss this thing. There's nothing more to discuss. I'll see you after school. You you false friend Go ahead Harriet. Tell them that we just see you later stretch. Goodbye miss Brooks. Goodbye Harriet. Oh, this is awful What'll I do miss Brooks? I just bumped into Harriet accidentally and she insisted that we sit together I can't fight walter. I'm almost a foot taller than him and besides I ain't mad Well, just relax stretch. I think there's a way out of this impending duel You see in as much as he challenged you you've got the choice of weapons I have certainly and I think I know a way you two can battle without anyone getting hurried a bit How's that miss Brooks?

In fact, you'd think that joe lewis had just announced that he was going to fight again again Still determined to stop this one-sided brawl between six foot five stretch and five foot six walter I went right to the source of the trouble and had a heart to heart with harriott conklin It's up to you to prevent this fight harriott You've got to tell walter that your meeting with stretch was accidental But it isn't just last night miss brooks walter knows that for weeks now stretch hasn't been able to keep his eyes off me How does walter know that? I reminded him Besides they won't really hurt each other miss brooks and it'll do walter a lot of good to fight Win or lose it'll make a bigger man out of him. I agree harriott, but only until the swelling goes down Golly miss brooks, think of the romance of it two nights of old jousting for their lady fair I'll bet you'd like it if mr. Boynton was fighting for your favor. Mr. Boynton? Well, yes, can't you just picture mr. Boynton in a suit of armor? Can't you just see him riding forth to do battle? Yes, I can harriott mounted on a big fiery frog And mr. Boynton would Or would he but don't you see miss brooks? I've got to make myself more desirable to walter because of daddy's feelings toward him What are daddy's feelings toward him loathing mostly You should have heard how daddy described walter the other day when he drove me home from school Right to his face. He called him a a teenage waste of time on wheels I didn't know your father had it in him But I've got to stop this fight whether you like it or not harriott And you're mentioning mr. Boynton has given me a good idea. In fact, it's given me a couple of good ideas, but that one will have to wait Well, it's miss brooks. Hello, mr. Boynton. I missed you in the cafeteria today. Well, I didn't go to the cafeteria today, miss brooks Oh, I guess that's why I missed you in the cafeteria I brought some sandwiches with me from home so I could have lunch with mcdougal here You remember mac my pet frog. Of course. Hi mac Sounds like he enjoyed his sandwich and mr. Boynton the reason I came into the laboratory was to Say what's that scent in here? Oh, that's a new deodorant. Miss brooks. It's called sweet air pretty fancy, isn't it? Yes, indeed makes the white mice smell like mink But as I started to say mr. Boynton, I stopped in here to ask you to do something for me Anything miss brooks. Well, I Did you say anything mr. Boynton? Yes, I did then mr. Boynton now cut it out connie one thing at a time Mr. Boynton, I came here to ask you to stop a fight a fight Oh, you mean between stretch not grass and water venting. You know about it the whole school knows about it But I'm afraid it's too late to stop it. Miss brooks In fact, I've arranged to get the boxing gloves and have a temporary ring built in the gym during the next period A ring why then you're actually promoting this this ridiculous. I'll not take it easy miss brooksity It's better than having them fight in the street with their fists This way they'll get it all out of their systems and be better friends afterwards But they're the best of friends now up to this morning anyway Why stretch worships walter dentin Well a few rounds of boxing won't change that in fact after the fight stretch will be closer to walter than ever before Only if he acts as a paul bearer Stretch is almost a foot taller than walter mr. Boynton Oh, that's nothing it just means that walter will have to get in close under his opponent's guard I remember when I was in grade school a great big fella picked a fight with me It must have been eight inches taller than I was But I remembered what I'd learned in gym about the smaller fella getting in close Well the fight didn't take very long one punch and it was all over really mr. Boynton Yes, I didn't get in close enough But I had lots of fights after that you did tell me mr. Boynton in these boyhood fights of yours Were there any girls involved? Gosh no miss brooks. I wouldn't hit a girl Well bravo for you Well, what I mean is take now for instance if you walked into a movie some night and saw me with another man What would you say to him? Do I know the man Certainly not Well, I wouldn't say anything to him. I don't believe in talking to strangers Of course if you introduced me to him It just happened that this man picked me up in front of the movie. Well, that isn't very nice At least he could have done was pick you up at home Let me paint another picture for you sir gala had You and I have a dinner date as we're going through the door of the restaurant A tall dark man with a big black moustache purposely jostles me. What do you do mr. Boynton? Are we going into the restaurant or coming out of the restaurant? I've got one more picture to paint and then I'm going to throw away my easel You and I are seated in a parked car on late view drive All of a sudden the man's face appears on your side of the car. I know he's a cop He's holding a flashlight on us and he says what are you two doing in there? Then I say nothing officer and he says then you get out and hold the flashlight You defended me with your last drop of blood ronald Let's leave this tropical paradise and return to live a pool I'm sure papa will give you your old job back my old job. Yes measuring orange rind and his marmalade factory There's a hot one you can kick around for a while Now I'm going down to mr. Conklin's office. He'll put a stop to this fighting nonsense. Oh, but miss brooksie. Goodbye, mr. Boynton Then you get out and hold the flashlight Oh fine, he just got it And how do you feel about prize fighting? Well, I'm in a lot of condition, but I oh, oh you mean in general I mean here at madison I think you should know that there's a so-called grudge match going to be fought this afternoon between two of our students A grudge match where in the gym? They even they're even building a temporary ring for it I forbid it personal combat is no longer the civilized way to settle personal differences. Oh good for you, mr. Conklin I was hoping you'd react that way Especially since the fight is over your own daughter harriet harriet. What does she got to do with this? Well, you see harriet was at a movie last night with stretch snodgrass stretch snodgrass medicine star athlete Is he sweet on harriet? Only from a distance mr. Conklin, but she's been going around with walter denton steadily and when he found out Walter denton. Well, he's nothing but a A teenage waste of time on wheels brilliantly put miss bro Although a little reminiscent of but about this fight, mr. Conklin Stretch is so much taller than walter. He has every advantage. Yes, he has What time is this fight going to be held miss brooks, but mr. Conklin, aren't you going to stop it? Stop it. I'm going to referee Attention please quietly Miss brooks if you'll just ring the bell for me, please. Yes, mr. Conklin As you all know, this is a grudge fight between two members of our undergraduate body on my left wearing purple trunks and weighing 128 I give you medicines outstanding athletes a poor letter man of whom any school should justly be proud Stretch not grand and on my right wearing black trunks and a catcher's mask I take that mask off denton I give you walter denton breathe about while counting for the knockdowns We will have our miss brooks now in as much as many of you couldn't get close enough to this temporary ring to see the contest Miss brooks will also officiate at the pa system to bring you a blow by blow account of the proceeding Are you already miss brooks one two three wolf wolf testing wolf Then if you boys will join me in the center of the ring I'll give you your final instruction as the fighters go to the center of the ring just a word of reminder Boys, if like walter denton, you're about to get your head knocked off Why not put an adam pat on it first And now let's listen to the referees instructions Very rules. I am here for one reason and one reason only to see the pair play is strictly observed You will at all times be honestly and impartially judged now then stretch Yes, mr. Carlton. I want you to be sure and go to a neutral corner every time dentin is on the floor And you dentin yes, sir, where do you want your bodies? Oh, well Now then you two I want a good clean fight and may the better man win and win quickly stretch Go to your corners come out fighting over his shoelace Now it's tied and the two men meet in the center of the ring They're cautious at first walter is dancing lightly around left arm extended Stretch is dancing around Now they're dancing around together Mr. Carlton breaks them and once more they circle around carefully now. Here it is the first exchange Well, come on stretch. Why don't you throw a punch? Oh, I don't want to hit you first walter You hit me first. No You hit me first. No, you hit me first. They're going at it hammer and tongue Mostly tongue Come on fight. I ain't mad at you walter. Come on man. Mix it up. Mix it up. This crowd came here to see a fight It looks like they're really going to start hitting each other not while i'm at the bell And there's the end of round one walter dentin is in the corner right above us. Uh, how do you feel walter? I know Let's see how stretch is doing over in his corner. His seconds are just giving him a good gargle He can use it. He was pretty eloquent in that last round Now he's on his feet and mr. Conklin is motioning for the second round to begin There they go again both men still pretty fresh and ready for each other's best dialogue Listen you two you've got to do some fighting this round. Yes, sir Come on walter take a poke at me. No stretch You take a poke at me. I can't not what i'm looking at you Me Well, just close our eyes and swing and then the crowd will think we're really fighting.
