 Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay and Luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressable hair bring you our miss brook starring Eve Arden Another comedy episode of our miss Brooks written by Al Lewis Well, many of us find it extremely difficult to get up early every morning But our miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School has been doing it for years Yes, and I've learned one thing about early rising that's helped me immeasurably Once I jump out of bed close the window and do my setting up exercises There's only one more thing I want to do and that's to get right back in bed again Last Friday morning though, I was up and almost dressed by the time my landlady knocked on the door I am up Mrs. Davis come on in I'm trying to get to school early so I can chat with mr. Boynton for a few minutes before our first class Is mr. Boynton still as unapproachable as ever Connie? I guess so mrs. Davis, but you know something During this past week. I've gotten closer to him than ever before really dear. How did you do that? I've been wearing my sneakers to school. I Hope I've got time for breakfast before Walter Denton comes to pick me up There's something he wants to talk to me about before school starts well He can talk to you at breakfast Connie my goodness. You've got to keep your strength up some way We both know you don't get enough sleep. I didn't last night Minerva slept in here with me, and she was very restless I don't know what's the matter with that cat lately between you and me Connie I think she's got something between you and me. I think she's got several Maybe it's a mistake to let her get so friendly with the collie next door They play together all the time, you know. Oh, so that's the source I had me up half the night with her pounding. That's just her tail beating on the floor while she's hunting Well, I don't mind her tail thumping so much, but every time she catches something with one paw She applaud with the other three Suppose we join Minerva in the breakfast nook. I've just given her some milk fine I'll have a saucer full too Sit right down dear. I'll boil you a couple of eggs and just one egg. I'll be plenty mrs. Davis. Well, I oh Walter That must be Walter Denton now just six eggs will be plenty mrs. Davis the door isn't locked come in Walter Hi, I'm miss Brooks mrs. Davis. Hello, Walter. How do you want your eggs, Walter quickly, please? Breakfast yet. Oh sure, but it's 7 30 almost and we eat an awful early breakfast at my place. How early quarter to seven I don't know how you're still standing up Anomaly for all of it Miss Brooks, I'd like to ask you about something. What's that, Walter? Well, as you know Halloween is usually celebrated tomorrow night Saturday But Harriet Conklin's going up to her folks bungalow at Crystal Lake for the weekend So we wondered if it would be all right with you if we celebrated the holiday tonight Why come to me? Shouldn't you contact the goblins Union? We wanted to sort of have a little party You know Harriet and my pal stretch snot grass and I and we were planning on inviting you too Where were you planning on holding this party, Walter at your place? How nice of you to invite me along But I'm afraid we couldn't have any Halloween parties here, Walter after all I don't own this cottage I just rent a room for mrs. Davis. Oh, we've already got her permission She's going to the movies tonight Harriet asked her on the phone yesterday. It's just up to you miss Brooks Well, I'm afraid I'm not interested in Halloween parties, Walter I've got quite a bit of work to catch up on and tonight looks like an ideal time to do it Sorry, but you'll have to hold your party someplace else. Gee, miss Brooks Harriet and stretch will be awfully disappointed And so will mr. Boynton Mr. Boynton Yeah, I was talking to him yesterday and he was saying what swell fun He always thought Halloween was when he was a kid and then we invited him to the party, too And he accepted and now there's no place to have the party What's wrong with having the party right here? Hello principal's office. I was good conglant himself speaking We've been married 18 years woman. I know your name Well, that's easily remedied. Goodbye I am well aware of that fact I've had plenty of time to think about it during the sleepless hours I spent listening to your dog thumping his tail at the foot of our bed all night Well, he wasn't alone last night I never heard such scratching in all my born days. What's he got anyway? Well, he can't possibly have any in fact He would have died of loneliness last week if I hadn't taken him over to mrs. Davis's to play with her cat Minerva Well, you've got to keep him away from me my blood pressure is higher than it's been in years To make my morning complete when I bent down to tie my shoelaces my glasses fell off Did they break not until I straightened up and stepped on them I'll go down to the doctors and get a nice sedative to take with you. Very well, mother It's a good thing. I have an extra pair of glasses with me or I couldn't find my way to the door Thank you my dear. I think that's sterling advice Goodbye It's later than I thought I'd better hurry meet in the cafeteria at lunchtime. We can make the plans Miss Brooks I presume I'm terribly sorry. Mr. Conklin. I didn't see you coming. Oh dear I seem to have broken your glasses Do you have another pair? No miss Brooks? I haven't But perhaps I could get you a long stick and let you smash the windows in my office You seem to be in quite a hurry mr. Conklin. Could I maybe take you somewhere? Who is speaking? Me, Walter Denton. Your daughter Harriet's dreamboat My daughter Harriet's dreamboat I'll talk to you later miss Brooks Denton pick up that shattered glass. Yes, sir. Oh, what should I do with it? Mr. Conklin Eat it you lame brain, done! Mr. Conklin's sure in a bad mood today He looks pretty purple doesn't he? Even for him He certainly is excitable. Hi, Walter. Oh, hello miss Brooks. Hi. Hello Harriet. Did you run into daddy yet this morning? It's in the hands of the insurance company now His temper is pretty miserable today. Yes, I know poor daddy's been depressed all week long I don't know what it is. We all try to please him what he needs is some recreation and diversion Say I have an idea. What is it miss Brooks? Well instead of my place tonight Why don't we have our halloween party at your house Harriet that way we could surprise your father and cheer him up a little bit Wonderful miss Brooks. You've done it again All miss Brooks starring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment But first here is Vern Smith now proof that brushing teeth right after eating with Colgate dental cream helped stop tooth decay before it starts Continuous research hundreds of case histories makes this the most conclusive proof and all-dentifference research on tooth decay Eminent dental authorities supervised hundreds of college men and women for over two years One group always brushed their teeth with Colgate's right after eating the other followed their usual dental care The group using Colgate dental cream is directed using Colgate's exclusively Showed a startling reduction in average number of cavities far less tooth decay The other group developed new cavities at a much higher rate No other dentifference offers proof of these results modern research indicates decay is caused by mouth acids Which are at their worst after meals or snacks brushing teeth with Colgate's as directed helps remove acids before they harm enamel Yes, Colgate's contains all the necessary ingredients including an exclusive patented ingredient for effective daily dental care So remember always use Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay Anxious as I was to get back into mr. Conklin's good graces I determined to make the halloween party friday night a roaring success I had asked the kids to meet me in the school cafeteria at lunchtime And the first one to show up was Madison star athlete stretch snot grass Although a whiz on the football field Stretch's outstanding scholastic achievement occurred during a test last week when he spelled his name correctly I was having a cup of coffee when he approached my table Here I am miss Brooks. Mind if I sit down? Not at all stretch But wouldn't you like to bring some food over before we discuss the party? Oh, no, ma'am. I already yet Please stretch I've already eaten. Oh good. Then we can get right down to business Walter said he thought we all had a masquerade or something tonight. That's a fine idea stretch. You could come as a student I got my outfit all set miss Brooks I got some chaps home and spurs and two sick shooters that shoot real blanks I'm coming as hop along Cassidy. That is if nobody minds Why should anybody mind unless Roy Rogers shows up? What are you going to masquerade as miss Brooks? Oh, I haven't made up my mind yet stretch Of course, every good Halloween party should have a witch Yes, I might come as a witch perfect Don't sound so enthusiastic Pretty short notice to get a costume made and I may not go to all that trouble. Why don't you just wear what you got on? Because he is I'll have to slug him Now let's stretch. Hey miss Brooks stretch. Well, things are sure shaping up. Look at these swell noise makers. I bought this morning When did you find time to get all this junk, Walter? I sneaked out of one of my morning classes Walter you didn't well, it was important miss Brooks besides there's no harm done Nobody even noticed I was gone. That's what I like a nice observant teacher Oh, it wasn't the teacher's fault. You were facing the blackboard at the time I Look at this horn. It's got a siren in the mouthpiece. Listen Please Walter you're in the cafeteria. So what one more blast like that the beef stew will pull over to the right Now tell me how are you going to the masquerade? I get a terrific idea miss Brooks I'm just going to put on an old sheet. Do you think mr. Conklin will get a kick out of me as a ghost? If he thought it was on the level it would add 10 years to his life What are you coming as miss Brooks? Oh, I haven't quite decided yet any suggestions Who just won? I don't want you to think I'm being fresh or anything, but oh, this is going to be a halloween party and Well, I'd be glad to furnish you with a broom I guess I'm a natural for us Look who's coming over. Oh, it's mr. Boynton. Hello, mr. Boynton. Hello, Walter. Hello, mr. Boynton. Hello stretch. Hello, miss Brooks Hello, mr. Boynton. Goodbye, Walter. Goodbye stretch We ain't going nowhere Stretch Don't you know the old expression two's company three's a crowd? Sure I do but there's four of us Come on stretch. We gotta help hurry it figure out a costume for tonight. Uh, see you later folks. Yeah, see you later folks So long boys Well miss Brooks, I think it's a splendid idea You're giving this little surprise party for our principal tonight. It should do him a world of good It should do us a world of good too if he brightens up a bit What kind of an outfit do you think you'll wear mr. Boynton? Well, I've got a skeleton costume home that I used to have quite a bit of fun with in my college days It's just a black tight-fitting garment with a bunch of bones hanging on it bones Yes, they're treated with a phosphorescent paint that makes them glow in the dark It's quite a startling effect the more so since I gathered the bones when I was an anatomy student from anyone. I know I don't mean to dwell on it miss Brooks, but I find bones a rather fascinating subject. Don't you that depends on what they're wrapped up in Yes, how how are you masquerading tonight? Oh, I don't know if you're coming as a skeleton. Maybe I'll come as a bottle of vitamins I'm really a little stump, mr. Boynton. What do you think I should be? Well, the two most popular figures associated with halloween are a black cat and a witch And I'm much too tall for a cat Walder or walder Get a lube job on that broom boy Constance Brooks rides tonight I'm glad we're going away in the morning, Martha. Dr. Benson told me I'm very close to the breaking point Yes Of course Don't shout so He said that some of my trouble was caused by my blood pressure But that part of it was due to an overactive imagination. He wants me to become relax more Like to see him relax with that recurring dream I've had You mean the one where the ghost visits you at night? Yes Only the last couple of times it's gotten worse instead of a plain ghost. I've been getting one with walter dentin's head on it Really osgood. I I just don't know what you've got against that poor boy. Harry. It's very fond of him Then she should see a doctor too Where is she, Martha? Well, she's in her room. Dear getting dressed. She said something about a party tonight Parties it's all kids nowadays think about well, there won't be any parties at crystal lake There won't be any nightmares either Why Martha do you realize that while I was sitting in the doctor's office today? I saw a bulldog by his desk A bulldog it was the shadow of his umbrella stand But I almost jumped out of my skin before he explained it Things like that happen to people every day osgood not to me. They don't at least they'd better not How do you think the board of education would like it if they thought one of their principles went round seeing bulldogs? Just don't mention it to anyone darling Now I'm going to get you a glass of warm milk and you stay right comfy in your chair till I get back You're very well That thing looked like a bulldog Martha's right though, I'd better not mention it to a soul Now who in the world can that be? Coming Good evening, mr. Conklin may I come in? There's no tactical way. I can refuse your admission Come in miss Brooks. Have the others arrived yet? Others what others you'll see when they get here is harry at home. Yes. Yes. She's putting on her party dress Oh, then you know about it. It should do you a lot of good, mr. Conklin There's nothing like a house full of people to get your mind off yourself A house full of her miss Brooks. Is this party to be given in this house? Of course I see and if you'll excuse me, I'll just take my hat and coat and beat an orderly retreat But mr. Conklin my doctor has forbidden any excitement whatsoever your doctor This is a fine time to tell me. I mean, I didn't know you were in such bad shape, mr. Conklin I am on the verge of a nervous collapse miss Brooks. I don't want to spoil everybody's fun I'll just leave quietly leave but mr. Conklin. Where'll you go? What's the difference where I go? I'll just wander around the park like a homeless gypsy You can't do that you wouldn't look good in earrings. I mean You're not a well man, mr. Conklin. Look, mrs. Davis is going to the movies tonight Now, why don't you let me drive you over to our place until I can eliminate the horde of pests Guests who are coming here. You'll love it over there. Mr. Conklin. You'll be able to relax completely If it will stave off my breakdown miss Brooks. It's the least I can do for my family Miss Brooks left right after dinner mr. Boyden. I guess you forgot to buy a few items for the party tonight I'm sure she'll be right back fine swell. This way our surprise will work out even better surprise Yes, ma'am. We thought we'd try out some of our halloween tricks on miss Brooks before we go over to mr. Conklin's house That's a wonderful idea. I hope I didn't scare you in my ghost outfit. No, I thought you were the laundry man How do you like my costume mrs. Davis? My you've lost weight haven't you? This this is a skeleton suit in honor of halloween isn't that terrifying And who's this cowboy with you? I'm hop along Cassidy mrs. Davis, but I'm really stretched snodgrass I've never known Well, if you'll all go into the house, I'm sure miss Brooks will be delighted to see you I've got to get down to the theater now. What movie are you seeing tonight mrs. Davis jolson sings again again Again again, I saw it last week also have a nice time children What should I do with this bucket of water? We're ducking for apples in waller Oh, I just put it down by the piano stretch now. I'll tell you what we'll do before miss Brooks comes back Let's all hide somewhere so we can really surprise her. Good idea waller Why don't you get behind that couch stretch you hide behind the kitchen door and I'll get into the hall closet Great, then we'll all come out when I blow this whistle Okay, gotcha waller. Hey look out the window. Miss Brooks is coming up the walk And she's got mr. Conklin with her mr. Conklin Oh, she probably wanted to get him out of the way while we were getting things ready at his place So much the better we'll surprise both of them at the same time Now first I'll put the lights out Quick, let's get out of sight. We are mr. Conklin. I guess mrs. Davis is left for the movies The lights are all out, but it does seem quite deserted in here I'll turn on this whole light so you can see to hang your things up in the closet I'll turn some lights on in the living room while you put your hat and coat away. Thank you, miss Brooks Miss Brooks, what is it mr. Conklin? What's the trouble? Your closet in the hall. What do you keep in there? Coat mr. Conklin I see I see Tell me miss Brooks. Is it a long black coat with luminous bones? Luminous bones. Oh, no Oh, please wait right here mr. Conklin. I'll investigate Oh, wait, it's me miss Brooks. You should have seen mr. Conklin's face when Get behind those other coats immediately mr. Boynton. I can't explain now, but don't you dare come out of there until you get a signal Well, miss Brooks, what did you see see? I didn't see anything mr. Conklin. It must have been your imagination My imagination Then the doctor was right Is that mr. Conklin? I I'd rather not talk about it miss Brooks. If I could just lie down somewhere Oh, of course, mr. Conklin. Just stretch out on this couch. I'll go get another cushion for you. All right Oh, that's better I must be quite a sick man If I weren't sick, I wouldn't be moaning like this on the other hand. It's better than trying What am I saying? I'm not the one who's moaning I've returned. Who's that? Where are you? Look behind Miss Brooks, how long have I been asleep? Sleep? Yeah, you just hit the couch mr. Conklin Which reminds me maybe you'd better see a good psychiatrist This screaming of yours can lead to something dangerous. Just just do me a favor miss Brooks Look behind that couch. Certainly, sir. I didn't make you feel any better But I assure you there's absolutely nothing behind this couch I'm sorry if I startled you mr. Conklin, but my cat Minerva's back here with a sheet She was making her bed All right Minerva, there's a good grr grr boy If you don't mind miss Brooks, I'd like to take a couple of pills my doctor prescribed May I have some water, please? Certainly, sir If you've got an extra pill or two, I'll be happy to join you Just sit right here miss Conklin. I'll go into the kitchen and get some water No on second thought you'd better come with me. I don't want you to get nervous again Yes, I I think you're right miss Brooks doesn't do for me to be alone lately Now where's that light switch? Well dog might catch it but ain't round up time Was that you mean to tell me I've actually taken leave of my senses Oh, it isn't a real leave mr. Conklin. You're just on a weekend pass Oh, lots of people get temporary hallucinations. Maybe we'd better go back to your house Yes. Yes at a time like this. I suppose I should be near my loved one Tendon, when did you how did you what's this? It's just my coat coming over get back to the closet It's me mr. Conklin. I'm a skeleton see look at me mr.
