I don't know about the judge already wasn't feeling so good Yes, how is the judge is anybody heard the old goat? What's the matter with him? He's got the flu or the pepper something. Oh Come to think of it. I haven't heard from the old gent in two or three days Kind of a relief as a matter of fact if nothing serious chief. I don't know. I suppose we could call him Who's that? That you peeve Well, here comes TV. Maybe he'd know Well All present are accounted for now except hooker say, how is the judge TV have you heard? Yeah, how is he? I'm afraid that's okay. It's a sick man. Oh, that's too bad Yeah, really? I mean really sick. It's how sick TV. Yeah, is he bad? Well, I'm not a physician gentlemen. Do we know that I don't like to make a diagnosis without having seen the patient Even if I did I couldn't because I We know all that peepee But how is he well, I think I haven't seen the judge. I only know what I've heard. Well, what are you here? Well, I didn't hear that from dr. Pettibone. He's out of town. That's right. I know I give him a going away haircut so Evidently the judge or his housekeeper called him dr. Freedon never heard of him. Who's he he's new doctor young call He lives over on the other side of town. Don't he ever get a haircut? Just never mind that What did he say TV? Well, I really don't know him well enough to be too inquisitive, but I'll say this for dr. Freedon, he may be young, but he writes a nice legible prescription never mind how he writes What did he say? Yes, tell us baby. Well, you know doctors. They don't say much But I was wrapping up his prescription and I asked him casually how judge hooker was and he tripped his head Oh, that's bad. Of course. I don't know whether he was shaking his head over the judge's health or his disposition, but What I go by is this He wrote out a pretty strict prescription for the old gentleman. Yeah Tennessee Tennessee. Oh, that's usually a last resort, isn't it? They use it They use it to treat pneumonia. I know that and yes truth. I knew in certain types cases Oh, the judge is no chicken anymore fellas wouldn't take much to carry him off gosh And to think only last Saturday was sitting right there in that chair looking just as natural. Yeah That's right boys That's when I'd like to make a motion if I may. Yeah, please go ahead In view of the circumstances, I think we should postpone our sleigh ride tomorrow night I don't hey, but what about the girl? He's right I don't think we should hold our sleigh ride without the judge besides our hearts wouldn't be in it Well, what about the girls after we went and asked them and everything toyed it wouldn't look right Yeah, maybe you're right It's been moved and seconded that we postpone our annual sleigh ride scheduled for tomorrow night and that our lady guests be so notified All in favor I nominate Gillis leave a committee a one to disappoint the girls. No wait a minute. Well, you started it You invited colors I'd like to make a motion of my own if you'll give me a chance Go ahead chief. I'd like to move that the judge's empty chair there be set apart as his exclusively with a Suitable plaque if well the chief I think we ought to wait on the plaque So we you know see how things turn out. It's a nice thought. Well, maybe so I was just thinking what Floyd said How he could remember him? Sitting there like it was yesterday. I guess we all can And I thought it'd be nice if we did something Gentlemen, why don't we do something the judge can enjoy that is if he can enjoy anything now like what for you be Well, if you could send him some little token something useful, maybe like a hot water bottle Flowers that's what you send the invalid. Yeah flowers. Why don't we send him some flowers roses are nice The judge is always puttering around among his roses. They smell nice too. He probably couldn't smell them heads probably stopped up You're always finding fault. All right, so it isn't stopped up Maybe they got him in an oxygen tent by now for all we know. Maybe he can't smell a thing All right, shove the roses in the tent with him but stop raising objections Okay, okay, he likes roses. He likes them give him roses just so it ain't Lily Floyd I think that last remark was in bad taste. Oh, he started it. I don't think the judge would want us quarreling over him before he's Dead even I don't think that's such hot taste. I didn't mean it that way What I mean is I think the judge would want us all to be jolly boys and carry on just as if he was Well As if he was here chief is right. That's the way I'd want it. Yes, sir I wouldn't want my friends all sitting around here with long faces Let there be no moaning at the bar when I put out to see You know what I think we ought to do fellas. I think we ought to have a song now you're talking Oh gentlemen Do you think we really ought to one of the judges favorite the judge had wanted that way PV tried Judged one at that way. Well, you know what the judges favorite is. Yeah, but who's gonna take the solo part The judge usually takes that that's why it's his favorite. I Will take the solo Floyd. No, why you the judge would want it that way. I think he's right Give us a chord I Can't do it boys. I can't do it. It's not the same without the judge. No, it's not Just like he was this man I move we adjourn before we make fools of our town The great killed his slave will be back again in a few moments. I Suppose mr.
