Who did it? Are you kidding? I expect to get my bathing suit. I better call Butterfly again. You don't have to, Mary. My girlfriend, Gladys Obisco, left her suit here. You can wear that. Jack, her suit would be much too big for me. Oh, wait a minute, Mary. Gladys isn't so fat. She just brought across the hips. I know, but her hips run clear up to her shoulders. Oh, Mary, stop being catty. Well, I'm gonna phone Butterfly and get my own suit. Okay. Thanks. This is Miss Livingston. I've been trying to get you, but the line's been busy. Oh, yes. The boyfriend Jerome called and he wanted to take me to a movie. I certainly, Butterfly. Any time Jerome comes in from camp, it's perfectly all right. Thank you. He's taking me to see Madame Curie. Madame Curie? Butterfly, I thought you saw that picture last night. I did, but I didn't understand it. Well, do you think you'll understand it tonight? Who cares? I'll be with Jerome. Mary, hurry up. Tell her to bring your bathing suit. Okay. Well, look, Butterfly. The reason I called is that I want you to bring my bathing suit over to Mr. Benny's house. Oh, hasn't he got one of his own? Butterfly, I'm gonna wear it. It's in the bottom dresser drawer on the right-hand side. Yes, ma'am, but Miss Livingston, I don't know how to get to Mr. Benny's house. Oh, well, look, first you go to the corner of Lexington. Just a minute, Miss Livingston. I'll get the fountain pen and write it down. All right. I'm ready. Good. Now, first you go to the corner of Lexington. Just a minute, Miss Livingston. I'll get some paper to write it down. First you go to the corner of Lexington and Camden. Just a minute, Miss Livingston. I'm stuck. You're stuck? Yes. I sat down on the fountain pen. The corner of Lexington and Camden. Catch the bus there. And get off at Mr. Benny's house. The bus goes right past it. Yes, ma'am. But how will I know which is Mr. Benny's house? Well, you see a big sign out in front that says, if I can't act better than Paul Lucas, I'll eat my hat. It's a big sign. But, Miss Livingston, I broke my glasses, and I can't read. Well, that's all right. You'll see Mr. Benny out there eating his hat. Bye, Butterfly. That wasn't a bit funny. Well, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Imagine putting a sign on the lawn that you're a better actor than Paul Lucas. Mary Rochester wrote that sign out there. Well, why don't you make him take it down? Freedom of the press. That's why, Mary. The reason I... Boss! Processor, what's happened? What's the matter? Boss, you just have to get rid of that camel. Get rid of my camel? Why? What'd she do? Nothing. But if you get rid of your camel, you'll get rid of that hairline. He wants to kill me. The Arab? What did you do to him? Nothing. Boss, I was just... Never mind. Here he comes. I'll ask him. Mustafa. Mustafa. If you get rid of that camel, I'll kill you. Get out of there, Rochester. I don't want to leave your house. Mustafa. What did Rochester do to you? You'll get rid of that camel. Take all my money. Get out of there! Rochester. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Mustafa. Now calm down and tell me. What did Rochester do to you? If you get rid of that camel, I'll kill you. Come, seven. Baby needs new shoes. Rochester, when that Arab came here, he warned you not to get him into a dice game. But boss, it was my fault. I was teaching him English and we dripped it into cubicle arithmetic. And give him back his turban. It looked silly on you. Now, Musi... Musi, go take care of my camel like you're supposed to. The love letter. Well, I'm rooming back home. Mustafa, control yourself. Rochester, back down. This is crazier than a radio program. Say, Jack, I won't wait for butterfly to bring my bathing suit. I'll go in the other room and put on glasses. Okay. Come in. Hi, you fellas. Say, how come the three of you all got here at the same time? Oh, we got a carpool. A carpool? Yeah, yes, sir. We sure have. Well, who are you? Herman Peabody. Herman Peabody? Oh, it's all right, Jack. Keep blowing straws. Share the ride club. Oh, say, I go downtown a lot. Maybe I could get in your carpool, too. No, I'm sorry, Jackson. We haven't got enough room. Oh, too many people already, huh? Not only that, but two of them never get out. Never get out? Yeah, some sailor in these girls. That girl with the sailor is mine. Come on, fellas, let's all go swimming. Me, too. Okay, you two, Herman. I really shouldn't stay. I ought to be working. I'm an insurance salesman. But it's so beautiful out, Herman. Why don't you take the day off? Well, okay. Now, let's get into our bathing suits. Oh, I just thought of something. What, Herman? Maybe I shouldn't take the day off. Maybe if I work today, I'd sell somebody an insurance policy. Well, you can sell it to him tomorrow. Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, fellas, let's... But something might happen to him today. Who? That man that won't be here tomorrow to buy the policy I should have sold him today. May he rest in peace. What are you talking about? Think of his poor wife and children. Oh, now, Herman, you're letting your imagination run away with you. I guess you're right. Come on, let's have fun. Ah, boy. Get into our bathing suits. Dennis, you're supposed to take your clothes off first. You ought to know that. Oh, thank you, Benny. I don't think I ought to stay. Why not? That poor widow and her two children. I can't get them out of my mind. Look, if it bothers you that much, Herman, why don't you go? Okay, I will. Say, Jackson, how do I look in my bathing suit? Phil, only girls are supposed to wear bare midriffs. As long as you've got it on wearer. Mr. Belly, I decided to stay. Good. Oh, man! We'll wait for you, but hurry up. We want to get in as much swimming as we can before we go to rehearsal. Oh, by the way, Dennis, what are you going to sing today? On the program? Yeah. Well, I don't know the name of it, but it goes like this. Dennis, that song will be swell for the program. And the name of it is, I'll Get By. Oh, thanks. You're welcome. Hey, Mary, we're waiting. Aren't you ready yet? Say, Jackson, before I go in, I'm going to use your telephone. Okay, go ahead. Well, that's a fine way to treat me. You let Phil use the phone for nothing. Never mind. Say, Mary, you thought Gladys Abisco's bathing suit would be too big for you, didn't you? Well? It's snug. Look how you had to pull it up to pin it up over your shoulders. Well, Jack, I've got a surprise for you. What? I'm only wearing the pants. I'm wearing a shirt. It looks real, uh, it looks real nice on you, Herman. I'm in here, too. Say, John, John, you must have been out in the sun a lot. You're as brown as a berry. Oh, Jack. All right, you're as barred. Brown is a grape nut. Are you satisfied? No. I'm all yours, grape nut. Well... A munchy-crunchy one? With milk and sugar? I'll pronounce you man and wife. Now, here comes Mr. Harris. Say, Phil, did you make your phone call? Yeah. Here, Jackson, you can punch my ticket. Chief, now I've seen everything. No, you're after the kitchen and take that turban off. If you know what I mean, Roger, jump in the pool. Okay. I shall hope the water isn't too cold. Don't be a sissy, Phil. Come on, Mrs. Swell. Is it cold? No. If you don't believe us, stick your foot in the sea. Okay. It is warm. Mr. Benny, take the foot out of my mouth. Hey, Jackson, the best way is to get up on the dive and board and then jump right in. Okay, get out of the way, everybody. Jackson's hurt. Mr. Benny, aren't you coming in? Can't you see he's unconscious? When he comes through, will you tell him I decided to go? You're a comfortable spot. Okay. I've got his feet. I've got his head. Hey, look at me. I'm Monnie Woolly. I'm Monnie Woolly. Dennis, take that off your chin and put it back on Mr. Benny's head. Look at poor Jack. Yeah. I wonder what to do now. I know. Oh, Rochester. Yes, Mr. Harris. Rochester, there's been an accident. Bring some whiskey and some spirits of ammonia. Yes, sir. Gee, I better cover Jack up with his robe. There. Look at him lying there with such a blank expression. Yeah, let's turn him over so he's facing us. Here comes Rochester with the whiskey and the spirits of ammonia. Here you are, Mr. Harris. Okay. Now give Mr. Benny the spirits of ammonia. Here, Jack. Here. It's no use, fellas. He's still groggy. I know how to revive him. Let's take him up and throw him in the pool. Yeah, that'll do it. All right, fellas. Lift him up. Oh, no, you don't. Trouble to keep out of the pool. I'm going to stay out. What? It wasn't easy to land back on that diving board. Herman. Where'd everybody go? Oh, they had to go to rehearsal. Gee, that's too bad. Just when I decided to stay. Now I'll be lonesome. Well, if you want, I'll talk to you. Please do. Now, look, Herman. When you start out in the morning to sell your insurance, don't just rush out of the house. First eat a good breakfast. You'll do a better job and feature multi-rich grape nuts. You fascinate me. Tell me more. Now, Herman, no matter what your job is, you'll do it better if you start off with a nourishing breakfast. And grape nuts make an ideal breakfast dish because they bring you grand all-around whole grain nourishment. Herman, grape nuts are crisp and crunchy with the sweetest of nut flavor that makes them swell eating every time. So, Herman, if you want to be a good insurance salesman, eat a good breakfast, do a better job, and include delicious nourishing grape nuts. You're nice. Well, thanks, Herman. But I have to run along now to rehearsal. You have to go? Yes, yes, I do, Herman. But when you leave, don't forget to turn out the lights, will you? Okay. Bye. We're a little late. Good night, folks.
