Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to take you back about an hour before the broadcast. At the moment Jack is in his dressing room talking to Rochester. Say Rochester, the rehearsal went pretty good today, didn't it? I guess so. I thought the script sounded very funny, didn't you? It was all right. Rochester, what's the matter? You've been acting kind of blue all day. What's wrong? Well, I'll have to tell you sometime so I might as well do it now. I'm going to leave you. Leave me? Why? Well, boss, let's put it this way. You know that bank of America down on the corner by your house? Yes. Well, I've been passionate for 15 years and just once I'd like to turn in. Oh, stop. You get everything you want. A nice home, food, clothes. Besides that, I give you a pin money. I know, but stick me a little deeper, boy. Rochester, I'm hurt to think that money could come between us after all this time. Are you been with me for 14 years? 15 years, boss. No, 14. 15. I came to work for you the first year you were 39. I was 39 before I ever met you. Anyway, Rochester, you're not going to leave me. Yes, I am. I got another offer. Look, Rochester, you do hard work. I have been thinking of giving you a raise. And well, since this is the start of a new year, you may as well get it now. Tell me, how much am I paying you? You mean including withholding tax, social security, deductions and unemployment insurance? Yes. We break even and shake hands. Well, that's all going to be changed. Starting today, I'm giving you a $10 a week raise. What have you got to say to that? Oh, that's wonderful, boss. Wonderful. Excuse me a minute. So stop making up a lot of things. Rehearsing the band. Good, good. We're going to run through the script again? No, it isn't necessary, Don. Oh, I still have to rehearse my songs. We'll do it later, Dennis. Come on in. Relax a while. You know, fellas, I was thinking that perhaps we could... Oh, Phil, for heaven's sake, watch what you're doing. You're messing up my hair. I'm sorry, Jackson. I didn't see it there when I sat down. Throw it up in the air, Phil. I've got my slingshot. Cut that out. I wish you fellas wouldn't upset me right before the show. Oh, now what's the matter, Jack? Why are you so nervous? Don, you know I'm always on edge right before a broadcast. Jackson, I can't understand you. What do you get to be nervous about? What? Why don't you be like me? Like you? Certainly. When I do a show, I just walk out and stand in the middle of the stage, look the audience right in the eye, and defy them not to like me. I should do that? Yeah, but first marry money like I did. I knew there was a catch to it. Listen, Phil, when I have to do... Come in. Oh, it's Mel Blank. Hi, Mel. Hello, Mr. Benny. Here's that dollar I owe you for the Rose Bowl game. Oh, thanks, Mel. Hey, Mel, you bet on California, huh? No, I didn't bet. Then why do you owe Jackson a dollar? I watched the game on his television set. All right, see you later, Mel. Yes, sir. By the way, Don, you should have come over. Oh, I didn't have to, Jack. I was at the game. Oh. And it was really exciting. But the most thrilling thing of all was when Michigan won, and they carried Coach Husterman out of the bowl. That's right. Oh, say, Phil, what did you win? Me? Yeah, I saw them carry you out, too. I was the only one who cheered. Look, Dennis... Boy, was I proud. Phil's my friend. Dennis, you can stop being proud. Out of the 98,939 people at the Rose Bowl, your friend was the only one who didn't know Michigan won till January the 4th. That's your friend over there. Now, Don, would you do me a favor? Are you? Look, I'm just trying to be polite. Dennis, it's your mother. Thank you. Hello? Oh, yes, mother. Well, mother, you told me to take off the ornaments and then burn the Christmas tree, so I burned it. Well, you didn't say anything about taking it out of the house. All right, mother, I'm sorry. Goodbye. Dennis, what happened? Same as last year, our house burned down. Well, fortunately, your mother's a carpenter. Now, Don, would you go out on the stage and see that everything is ready for the broadcast? Okay, Jack. I'll go with you, Don. Now, Dennis, while I'm taking care of the script, you see that the boys in the band have the music... I beg your pardon, but could you tell me where Studio A is? Well, yes, it's right around the... Wait a minute. Aren't you Deborah Carr? Yes, I am. I'm certainly glad to see you. I'm Don Wilson. Yes, I know. And this is Dennis Day, isn't it? Yes. Dennis, you know Deborah Carr. How'd you drew Miss Carr? Deborah Jackson is dressing room. I'll call him. Oh, Jack! Jack! Jack, her name is pronounced Carr, isn't it, Deborah? Yes, but that's all right. A lot of people make that mistake. What do you mean mistake? It's spelled K-E-R-R, isn't it? Yes, but in England, it's pronounced Carr. Oh. Just like here in America, you say Derby, and over there we say Derby. Oh, yes, yes. Well, that reminds me. Yesterday I was in the Brown Derby, and I ran into Clark Gable, isn't it? Just over there, too. Excuse me, Miss Carr, but we have a few last-minute things to do before we start the broadcast. Yes, yes. Go ahead, Don. Tell me, Deborah, what are you doing here at CBS? I came down to see a television show. Some friends of mine are on it. Oh, really? You know, Deborah, I did a television program. Yes, I know, Jack. I saw it. That was about ten weeks ago, wasn't it? Yes, yes. And now I'm going to do another one. So soon? I mean, with your radio shows and all. How do you find time? Well, it is difficult, but you know, Deborah, it's such a coincidence running into you today when only last night I saw your latest picture, King Solomon's Mind. Oh, did you like it? Yes, I saw it at a drive-in, and I thought it was just great, but I missed the very end of it. You did? Yeah, you see, the fog came up suddenly, and I couldn't see the last fifty seconds of the picture. Oh, well, if you wish, I'll tell you how it ended. No, no, it wouldn't be fair. I got my money back. King Solomon's Mind was really exciting, and you and Stuart Granger were wonderful in it. But I must tell you a little secret. For a while, the producer was considering me for the part. Well, Jack, I'm certainly glad I got it. Stuart Granger's part, I think. I'd love to have gone to Africa. I bet you got a kick out of it. Oh, most of it was fun, but we had one horrible experience. We ran into a tribe of savages. They were so fierce-looking, so wild-eyed, and so completely uncivilized. Oh, I never want to see a sight like that again. Then you better close your eyes. Here comes Phil Harris's musicians. Look out! What a gang! Yes, the one with the clarinet looks like an anteater. It is an anteater. Phil doesn't know it. Now, Deborah, getting back to King Solomon's Minds, and believe me, I don't want to sound like a ham, or that I'm envious of Stuart Granger, because I'm not. But if I had played that part, I would have done it a little bit differently. I would have sort of changed things around. But, Jack, you couldn't change the locale. No, no, Deborah, I didn't mean that. I would have kept it in that same place, in the heart of Africa, in the same treacherous jungle with the savages constantly singing their chants and beating their native drums. Yes? I would have done it something like this. I think I've got everything packed. I can hardly believe it. In three short weeks, I'll be back home. Gosh! I haven't seen a civilized woman in over... Ooga-boogie! Yes, sir, it'll sure be good getting back. Ooga-boogie! Ooga-boogie! Ooga-boogie! Ooga-boogie! Ooga-boogie! Ooga-boogie! Ooga-boogie! Those natives don't even understand their own language. Aren't you going to ask me to Ooga-boogie? Alan Quatermain. What can I do for you? I heard that you're the best guide in Africa and I want to hire you to lead a safari through the jungle. Well, you're too late. I was just packing to go back to England. But I've traveled thousands of miles to see you. I'm sorry, miss. My mind is made up. But you can't. You can't turn me down. It's a matter of life and death. Please, please, you've got to listen to me. I've come all this way to see you because you're the only one who can help me. So don't turn me down. Please. I beg you. I implore you. Sorry, miss. But I've had enough of the jungle and I'm going back to England. But, Mr. Quatermain, I'm trying to find my lost uncle. He came to the jungle to write a book. His name is Sylvania Cartwright. Sylvania? That was his pen name. Oh, yes. Pen Sylvania. Your uncle is lost, eh? Yes. He came here two years ago to do some research on King Solomon's mines. King Solomon's mines? That's just a myth. There's no such place. Oh, but there is. My brother has a map. Your brother? Yes. He's right outside. I'll call him in. Oh, brother, come in here. So you're her brother, eh? Yeah. You want to make something out of it? That's infested jungle. If only to lose him. Right. I'll go with you. But before we leave, you'll have to sign this register. Certainly. Hmm. That's a pretty name. That's car. Car? Yeah. You want to make something out of it? What's the matter? Stay close together. This is very dangerous territory. There may be a line lurking behind every bush. Quiet, everybody. It's that bush that just moved. The natives will circle it. Before I shoot, they'll dive in and grab it. What do you think it is? I don't know, but if it's a line, we'll skin it. If it's a gazelle, we'll eat it. Quiet now. But at least the natives can eat. What did you shoot? Your brother. See that hole in his head? It was King Solomon's mines. On the roof of his mouth. He had his own palette. Nothing like that. I knew the sun was hotter than I thought. It's our first stopping place. The village of Kalawana. Push through the jungle. They're afraid of saying their tribal chants. Look at that strange little bird up in that tree. Where? There. Strange about that. It's the first time I ever saw a woodpecker with a moustache. You'll see many strange things deep in the jungle. Further is it to Kalawana? About 15 miles. Gee, that isn't so bad. Well, I know. It's... What? Did you hear that, Deborah? Your brother talked. And I thought I killed him. I carried him for two weeks. He tricked us. The cur... That's car. Come here, brother. Open your mouth so I can look at the map. Come on. Open your mouth. Wider. I'm sorry. Open so I can look at the map. I was able to see the map very clearly now. Because the light was coming through the hole in his head. Deborah, according to the map, we must be close to the village of Kalawana right now. What's wrong, Deborah? I can't go on. I'm so thirsty. I must have something to drink. Well, I was saving this for myself, but here. You can have it. What is it? Snake milk. Snake milk? How in the world do you get snake milk? Oh, the usual way. But you need a very low stool. Go away the bottle. I get two cents back. Let's go. What's the matter, Quatermain? We must be near the village. Look, there's a horse. And there's a pig. And there's a rabbit. What's up there? Hey, Mel Blank. Just to do a lousy woodpecker. You're crazy. It's excited me instead. Lala Boogie Malacola, Hanna, Noya. Huh? Lala Boogie Malacola, Hanna, Noya. Quatermain, this native is asking us something, but we don't understand. I'll find out what he wants. Nula Nagina? Lala Boogie Malacola, Hanna, Noya. Oh, Michigan 14, California's there. Where is King Solomon's mines? Ladies and gentlemen, this exciting epic of the jungle will be continued next week. Will Jack and Deborah escape from the cannibals? Will they find King Solomon's mines? Will Mel Blank get paid? Tune in next Sunday for the closing episode of King Solomon's Mines. With our special guest star, Deborah Kerr. That's Karr. Oh, yes. Forts at a mountain ski lodge. Be happy, don't... No, reminds me of the cigarette I like. It's always... So you happy with your cigarette? Here's why I ask.
