Today, 2 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,439 Edwin Montague, to his great embarrassment, is known only as Uncle goodtheart 3 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,840 star of an afternoon radio program. But perhaps a few of you older folks 4 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,399 remember him when he traveled the Shakespearean stage and was known as the Magnificent Molecule. 5 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,920 And although radio has brought him a living and dubious fame, he still 6 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,640 dreams of returning to the stage. Right now, the Montaguo apartment is enjoying 7 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,520 a little peace and quiet, which means he is not home yet from his 8 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,359 broadcast. Lily and his wife and former leading Lady, and Agnes the Maid 9 00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:11,159 are awaiting him for dinner. The telephone is ringing. Okay, okay, 10 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,040 the residents of Edwin Montague and Lily Boy and Agnes the Maid on this and 11 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:22,560 come in, Roger, Oh hello, Sam, for sure Sam, and 12 00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:26,079 I'll be okay Sam, Oh sure, Sam, I'll tell us.

Well, 22 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,039 I hope Edwin's late. Oh, Sam only wouldn't continually try and sell Edwin 23 00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:15,360 life insurance. They're the only neighbors we have really ever had, and you 24 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,840 can have them. Oh please, I know Sam can be a little trun 25 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,039 No, she stopped trying with those corny jokes. Now, Ages, we 26 00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:27,479 have to make them feel at home. We're the only neighbors they know since 27 00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:30,039 they moved in from Saint Louis. Okay, I'll make them feel at home. 28 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,199 I'll put on a Saint Louis Cardinal uniform. Oh, stop pretending you 29 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,439 don't like the Harrisons.

Shakespeare has lived in the hearts of men for three hundred years, 93 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,960 but he'll never survive this blow. But let me we could do something else. 94 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,360 You could recite a poem Shay, that would be Jim Dandy, a 95 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,480 little mother Goose for the kiddies, Mother Goose.
