Don't you like carrots coming out of my ear and I'd be coming there too. Who did you have to plant so many carrots? No, we haven't planted so many just that they all decided to come up at the same time as a matter of fact That's something I've been thinking about. Oh, oh, there should be a better way of doing it So everything doesn't come up at once if all you had more rabbits on the place I'm starting to feel like a rabbit Dice grab it tough grab it I used to love rabbit mom is a little carrot happy David You'll have to forgive her mother each of these carrots are worth their weight in gold Was it going to tell me they're 14 carrot carrots? Oh, mom. You're such a comedian. She beat me to it I never get tired of corn though. Do you it's a good thing. There's plenty of it around this house I meant on the car.

What digesting the carrot? We can do that out. Just as well Friday night is the night to go out my man. Your daughter mrs. Brown is afflicted with conventionalism Oh, all I'm affected with is a desire to go out tonight and breathe the air and plenty of air around here It will be cooler Rising I didn't mean it that way She just doesn't know how to take insults does she David? Well, she's not bright enough to recognize them Well, now I'm going to sit me down in my chair. Oh you in your chair.

Oh, no, you start knitting and you'll be settled for the night, too I want to spread my wings tonight Friday night is the night for spreading wings, is it? What about a movie you spread wings there? It's too crowded. I don't like movies in the summer. That's where you're wrong, mrs. Brown And I'll prove it to you. I had to open my mouth. Now. What is the temperature here at least 85 and in a movie house? Aha, you do not answer in the movie house. It is freezing air-conditioned each breath you take Dripping with icicles But you can even catch cold in the movie house in the summer and you often do is that an inducement Oh, you always look in the dark side of things cold side of things Then it's several we're going to the movie. Well, is there anything decent playing around see mama? I've won him over. Oh, I'm willing to go to the movie But I'm not going to waste my time seeing something. I don't want to see somebody has to stay Home with the baby I volunteer don't be so self-sacrificing. I'll stay home with the baby You will not I will that'll be fine David because if she stays home We'll have to stay home and keep our company and we'll stay home Fritz and Bertha can go to the movie Probably gonna go to bed already. We're all good people belong then it's subtle. We go But first we have to find out what's playing. I'll not see a romantic picture. You don't like romantic No, I don't Why do you what do you call a romantic picture David well a romantic picture is a picture in the first scene where the Handsome young man meets the beautiful young woman and he says You're so beautiful Then in the second scene the handsome young man finds out the beautiful young woman as a husband and he says Why did this happen to us? That's where the music comes in hand me a comb mama. Oh, and he says Oh Darling, I love you so but it can never be My rich old husband would kid you And he says and then he says I'd better never see you again and she says Goodbye Then in the third scene the beautiful young woman finds that she cannot live without the handsome young man She goes to a rich old husband and she tells him the rich old husband has decides to have the handsome young man destroy Then what and then they lived happily ever afterwards? That it um-tom-tom-tom-tom-tom Who lives happily ever afterwards the beautiful young girl and the handsome young man, but what happened to the rich old husband? Oh, didn't I tell you he dies and they accuse the handsome young man of murder. Yes Well, then the district attorney who is a schoolboy friend of the handsome young man finds out that the rich old man had a secretary What does she have to do with anything everything the district attorney who's a school friend of the handsome young man was in Love with the secretary, but she'd been playing up to the rich old man who killed the rich old man Who knows you can't leave us hanging like this. That's why we go to the movies That's why we pay 85 cents to find out who killed the rich old man. Let's go Let's go. I won't sleep do we find out, but I don't care who killed the rich old man Oh Sound well, it was an exciting movie now. We don't have to go It'd be off the anti-climate anyway, wouldn't it mama listen? We're gonna be late for every movie in the neighborhood if we don't hurry up Would you go and see a Western? There's more my meat. Good buffalo meat. I like the High hole for Maldehyde the charge of the meddling cattle across the prairie the expression on the heroin space the Courage of the cowboy In the sheriff's eyes Christians aren't bad, but an awful lot of people get killed for nothing. What a performance. That's all I get My wife is a tender spirit mother. I like the horses in westerns, but I hate the people Well, maybe there's a good animal picture around good Then we can send bluff to the movies and we'll stay home You have me believing you don't want to go to the movies. Now you wouldn't believe that Going to the movies in this family is like undertaking an African expedition Operations movies synchronize your watches women. Let's be under way Paper we if we don't decide first what we're going to see in what time it goes on. Oh my you're so organized I just hate walking in in the middle of the picture. I agree with my because you like to get your money's worth Well, I don't like it because the seats are warm Oh Claudia there are the newspapers on the window seat if we're going for heaven's sake Let's go and we won't get home too late. I just love your enthusiasm. No, we're going isn't that enough to read off titles Mom, be sure you read tonight's movies. What do you take me for I'd rather not say At the cinema In Eastbrook Center is playing Penny for your thoughts admission 85 sounds like a romantic picture. It is very stable dinner Sounds horsey too. And let me see at the cinema in Eastbrook is playing Hell bent for leather. Yeah, obviously a boots and saddle leather. I don't think I feel up to such a strenuous picture They're both so difficult. What's playing at a redberry? Redberry, Redberry, Redberry, let me see Fine arts theater and Redberry. Who killed Cot Robin? Mother are you interested in who killed Cot-Cot Robin? Not the least bit. No I've got it just the one in Westbrook is playing the picture. I simply must see I've been dying to see it ever since I read About it in a movie magazine with the hairdressers dying to see it sounds tragic. What is this legubrius picture? It's not legubrius. It's historical. Oh, that's a beautiful costumes and dueling You know with swords. I know that was the general impression I got with swords It takes place during the French Revolution Wager, you don't even know when the French Revolution was that is one of the reasons I want to see this picture. I think it would be instructive Hollywood's idea of history is rarely instructive You just read different books than they did that. So don't be snobbish darling Now listen if we start out now, we'll get there just on time. It goes on at eight five Hey, just a moment since when do you like historical pictures? That's true since when you usually don't appreciate anything to do with history I am a mother now. I like historical pictures and objections No, merely surprised and impressed with your intellectual curiosity. What's I got to do with motherhood? Nothing. Hmm. I haven't even told us the title of this wonderful picture. It's called Mr. Guillotine. An incisive title very cutting. He gets his head chopped off It might be rather good at that David. Well, there's something so final about the Guillotine. So, Blasey! As a matter of fact, I should rather like to see it. I've always been interested in the French Revolution Now I don't have such bad ideas do I? Every now and then you come through. Gotta make a confession I think that I'll enjoy seeing Mr. Guillotine very much. I certainly would never have accepted your invitation to take you to the movies If it weren't the I thought this was going to be a decent picture. Well, the stone man cracks. What are we waiting for? Let's go. I'm ready. Car weights, operations, movies, underwears. Are we almost there? I wouldn't want to be late. Just another couple of blocks. Aren't you glad we went instead of sitting at home as if we were married. That would be awful. At least we'll be out early. Oh, the parking space is right in front of the theater. Well good. That'll save us time. Mr. Guillotine. Sounds exciting. Yeah, Roger told me that he saw it when it was playing in New York and liked it. Oh, now he confesses mama. I bet he had it in the back of his head to go to the movies all evening. Don't jump to conclusions. I hope it's a good long movie. Maybe there'll be Mickey Mouse, too. Oh, there's the theater right down there. And there's no line. We'll be able to get right in. No line. You know what that means. That means that it can't be such a good picture. Oh! Folly, what's the matter? Is that something in your eye? Well, I must have. I'm not seeing right. Mama, what do you see on the marquee on the theater? Penny, for your thoughts. My thoughts aren't worth that at this moment. David, they must have made a mistake. They have the wrong movie advertised. Maybe they've just changed the signs for tomorrow. Drive slowly, darling. Let me read what's written. Coming tomorrow, Mr. Guillotine, Saturday through Tuesday. Oh, no! Oh, yes. In other words, Mr. Guillotine is not getting his head chopped off tonight. That's not fair. The newspaper's headed. The newspaper probably said that it was coming tomorrow. I should have known better by now than to let you look it up. What do we do? Go home. It's a mistake anybody can make, David. It certainly is. And you made it. Disappointed, Mama? Very. Disappointed, David? Me? Disappointed? Yeah. Very. So am I. So were you then. Anyway, it's a lovely night for a drive, isn't it? That's what I wanted to do in the first place. Claudia, are you sure this mistake was a mistake? David, can you ever be sure of anything? Lean over here while I choke you. The average housewife is apt to make lunch a hasty pickup meal if she's alone and in the midst of housework. Well, that's bad. You should eat slowly for a digestion sake. You should relax and enjoy your meals. Include an ice-cold bottle of Coke and see whether lunch isn't the more agreeable, even a more festive occasion, when you lunch refreshed. Well, Mr. King, we never got to the movies, but we did have a lovely drive. Do you think that's what Claudia had in the back of her mind all the time? Don't quote me, but I think yes. She is devious, that girl. Devilish would be a better word. Now confess, Mrs. Brown. It was a pleasant way to spend an evening, wasn't it? Frankly, yes. We had a beautiful drive through some woods I didn't even know existed around here. You see, again, Claudia was right. That's the worst part of it. I wish she didn't feel she always had to take me along. Well, if Claudia didn't insist, David probably would. They like having you along. I like being along, but it's not always right. On Monday night, I'll see that they go off by themselves. Where to? Well, some of it, perhaps. We'll see. Have a nice weekend, Mr. King. Same to you, Mrs. Brown. Every day Monday through Friday, Claudia comes to you transcribed with the best wishes of your friendly neighbor who bottles Coca-Cola. So listen again Monday at the same time. And now this is Joe King saying, or of war, and remember, whoever you are, whatever you do, wherever you may be. When you think of refreshment, think of Coca-Cola. For Coca-Cola makes any pause the pause that refreshes. And ice-cold Coca-Cola is everywhere. In this program, Catherine Bard and Paul Crabtree played the parts of Claudia and David, and the entire production is supervised and directed by William Brown Maloney.
