Speaker 1: What are you so pensive about, Harriet?
Speaker 2: What does pences mean? And maybe I can tell you.
Speaker 1: What it means? Dreamily, thoughtful, You've.
Speaker 2: Got the right word.
Speaker 3: I'm just thoughtfully dreaming of those lucky people who are
Speaker 3: going to be thrilled this Christmas when they receive the
Speaker 3: perfect gift, the solid Silver with Beauty that Lives Forever,
Speaker 3: International Sterling.
Speaker 4: The Solid Silver with Beauty that Lives Forever is International
Speaker 4: Sterling from Hollywood International Silver Company, creators of International Sterling,
Speaker 4: presents the Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, starting America's favorite
Speaker 4: young couple, Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliar. It's uphill all
Speaker 4: the way from the bus stop at the corner to
Speaker 4: the Nelson's house at eighteen forty seven.
Speaker 1: Rogers rode a.
Speaker 4: Good hard climb, especially at the end of a long day.
Speaker 4: Let's say, look at Ozzie Nelson coming up the grade,
Speaker 4: knees pounding up and down like pistons, elbows working, chin up,
Speaker 4: nose out, cutting the wind.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's in great form tonight. And look at that man,
Speaker 1: goes fools.
Speaker 4: Mean, now he's approaching the house and he turns in
Speaker 4: without flowing down a fast banking turn wants that loose
Speaker 4: board on the step.
Speaker 1: Ozzie.
Speaker 4: Oh, he jumped right over it like a man with wings.
Speaker 1: He's on the board. He threw the door and into
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 5: Allry it goodness.
Speaker 4: Oh nobody, it's just so nice and Chris bout I
Speaker 4: felt like walking fast.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun walking up that hill real fast.
Speaker 2: I dare you to tell that to the mailman.
Speaker 1: No, no, I really mean. It sends the blood surging
Speaker 1: to you. What's the matter? What do you mean for
Speaker 1: your face?
Speaker 2: You're asking a question or registering a complaint.
Speaker 1: Now you seem to be terribly concerned about something.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm just a little bit worried.
Speaker 2: I guess worried.
Speaker 1: What about?
Speaker 3: Want?
Speaker 2: Nothing important? Really?
Speaker 6: Now, If it's important enough to worry about, then it
Speaker 6: must be important.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it really isn't.
Speaker 1: Now, Harry.
Speaker 6: The worst thing in the world to do is to
Speaker 6: keep your troubles to yourself. Do you have any worries?
Speaker 6: Get them out in the open.
Speaker 4: Nine times out of ten you find out you didn't
Speaker 4: have anything to worry about in.
Speaker 1: The first place.
Speaker 2: Well, this isn't anything like that, dear.
Speaker 6: Well, any kind of a worry is a treacherous thing,
Speaker 6: does things to you, beat you down, wears you down
Speaker 6: to a frazzle.
Speaker 3: I appreciate your concern, you, but really I'm concerned.
Speaker 6: I think I want people to go around saying, look
Speaker 6: at that guy, he's married to a frazzle.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 1: Now what's buying?
Speaker 3: Well, okay, I went down to the emporium today and
Speaker 3: I saw some drapes I thought would look nice in
Speaker 3: our living room.
Speaker 1: Is that all? Oh, for goodness sakes, Harry, We're not
Speaker 1: living in the Middle Ages. You know what do you mean?
Speaker 8: Dear?
Speaker 1: You were afraid that I, the Lord.
Speaker 4: Of the manor, would chop off your head just because
Speaker 4: you looked at some new drapes.
Speaker 2: Well, not exactly.
Speaker 1: What did you think?
Speaker 4: I do have a fit of temper, throw a tantrum
Speaker 4: and rant and rave silly thing to worry about. You
Speaker 4: have my full permission to go downtown tomorrow and buy.
Speaker 1: The new drapes.
Speaker 2: Thank you, dear.
Speaker 1: Now, is that all you're worried about.
Speaker 3: No, I'm worried about how they'll look when they're delivered.
Speaker 2: I already bought them this afternoon. I was just afraid
Speaker 2: the color might not be quite right.
Speaker 6: Worried about it won't do any good. Why don't you
Speaker 6: wait and see? You liked them when you saw them
Speaker 6: down at the emporium, didn't you.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, but suppose they don't look as good in
Speaker 3: our living room as they did in the emporium.
Speaker 6: Window, then maybe the emporium will let us move into
Speaker 6: their window.
Speaker 3: So they're pretty expensive the awfuls it turned out badly.
Speaker 6: Look, you're not gonna help anybody worrying about They'll probably
Speaker 6: be the best rapes we ever.
Speaker 2: Had, Is that you boys?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Mom us, Yes, it's us.
Speaker 1: What do you guys go down in the mouth about?
Speaker 1: What's going on around here today?
Speaker 2: David an arithmetic test to Danny's.
Speaker 1: Worried Did you have a test too?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Not me, just David?
Speaker 1: And what are you so worried about? Nothing?
Speaker 3: I'm just telling David, Well, why are you so worried
Speaker 3: about your arithmetic test?
Speaker 2: David?
Speaker 1: Because arithmetic is my worst subject?
Speaker 2: Do you think you failed? I don't know. They won't
Speaker 2: tell us to tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Then what's the sense of worrying about it?
Speaker 2: Because arithmetic is my worst subject?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 6: And since you know that arithmetic is your worst subject,
Speaker 6: did you study everything you were supposed to know?
Speaker 1: On the test.
Speaker 2: Oh sure.
Speaker 1: And did you concentrate while you were taking it?
Speaker 2: Of course?
Speaker 1: Pop? Did you go back and check all your problems? Everyone?
Speaker 1: All right? You did all those things. And why isn't
Speaker 1: it logical to assume you have nothing to worry about?
Speaker 2: Because arithmetic is my worst subject?
Speaker 4: Don't you see, David, If you did everything you possibly
Speaker 4: could to pass the test, there's no point in worrying
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 1: You did the best you could. That's all you can do.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: I never looked at it that way, Pop, I guess
Speaker 2: you're right.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm right.
Speaker 2: I probably passed the test. Okay, maybe I even got
Speaker 2: a hundred.
Speaker 1: That's possible. Thanks Pop.
Speaker 2: I won't worry about it anymore.
Speaker 1: That's the spirit, son.
Speaker 2: But just in case I didn't pass, Ricky, you better
Speaker 2: keep on worrying. How Keen is golonging back until the
Speaker 2: football around? Okay, come on, I'll get the ball.
Speaker 3: I have to give you credit, Dear, you're really the
Speaker 3: happy gloom chaser tonight.
Speaker 6: I never saw such a family of warriors, even the boys.
Speaker 6: You must get it from your side of the family.
Speaker 1: Then your father used to worry a lot.
Speaker 2: Yes he did, Dear, Every time I went out with you.
Speaker 4: It's only worried about that old Gilapia I used to
Speaker 4: drive you around there.
Speaker 2: No, he just couldn't understand why you didn't have a steering.
Speaker 1: Wheel, David.
Speaker 4: Just like your father, David worries about his arithmetic test,
Speaker 4: yet he knows he has everything possible to pass it.
Speaker 4: You worry about your new drapes being the wrong color
Speaker 4: and you haven't even put him up yet.
Speaker 3: Well that's easy enough to say, dear, but you can't
Speaker 3: turn worries off and on like a faucet, you know.
Speaker 1: Look at it this way. I took the car to
Speaker 1: the garage today.
Speaker 6: I could sit here and worry that maybe it's going
Speaker 6: to cost a lot of money.
Speaker 1: To fix it.
Speaker 2: I hope not. With Christmas coming. We have enough expenses
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 6: Well, it probably won't, But suppose it does. There's no
Speaker 6: point worrying about it. It costs a lot of money.
Speaker 6: It costs a lot of money, that's all, and there's
Speaker 6: nothing you or I can do about it.
Speaker 9: I suppose.
Speaker 2: So you're a regular rock of Gibraltar tonight, dear.
Speaker 4: Oh, And in case you're worried about where I'm going,
Speaker 4: I'm going down to the drugstore and get some ice.
Speaker 1: Cream for dessert.
Speaker 3: Oh, while you're down there, will you see if you
Speaker 3: can pick up a glamorous woman?
Speaker 1: There's so much the title of a magazine.
Speaker 3: Well, of course there. Don't you think I have enough
Speaker 3: to worry about with the drape?
Speaker 6: Did you want some ice cream? Mister Nelson? Mister Nelson, No,
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Charlie. I was busy looking miss magazine.
Speaker 1: What'd you say? Did you want some ice cream? Yes? Please?
Speaker 1: Quart of chocolate and vanilla?
Speaker 4: Hi?
Speaker 1: Uh oh there, Thorny.
Speaker 2: Harriet said I'd find you down here.
Speaker 1: What are you meaning there?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 6: One of these silly women's magazines. Hardy asked me to
Speaker 6: pick it up for it. Just looking over this article,
Speaker 6: what is it?
Speaker 1: Stop worrying?
Speaker 6: Yeah, a whole big deal about people worrying? You know,
Speaker 6: same old junk.
Speaker 1: Listen to this.
Speaker 6: We want to sweep the worry clouds from our mental
Speaker 6: storehouse and take a new lease on life. This guy
Speaker 6: claims that ninety percent of all people worry ninety percent
Speaker 6: of the time.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that, Thorny?
Speaker 8: I don't know why.
Speaker 1: She may be right, Oh, it's ridiculous. You don't worry,
Speaker 1: especially to you. Well, of course, I do.
Speaker 8: A matter of fact, if you want to be honest
Speaker 8: about it, I think everybody does.
Speaker 6: Got a whole list of questions. Are you're supposed to
Speaker 6: ask yourself? Are you troubled by tension? Do you lie
Speaker 6: awake at night? Are you troubled by anxiety?
Speaker 1: Do you fear the future? Are you worried? Yes?
Speaker 4: Are you worried about living beyond your means? Are you
Speaker 4: concerned about little ailments.
Speaker 1: Like a part of my right shoulder? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the kind of stuff, things that people always
Speaker 6: worry about but seldom have.
Speaker 8: Do you get a sort of a shooting pain in
Speaker 8: your right shoulder right about here?
Speaker 1: It comes and goes?
Speaker 8: Or about every two or three minutes.
Speaker 1: You see the honey? You even do it?
Speaker 6: Just suggest something that other people worry about, and right
Speaker 6: away you have a symptom.
Speaker 1: Oh I haven't got it. No, I just have it sometimes?
Speaker 1: Would you have at it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 6: Well, sometime, and I've been bowling a lot, or I
Speaker 6: happen to sleep on a pecuity position. Everybody has things
Speaker 6: like that, But I'm not going to worry.
Speaker 1: About it, that's for sure.
Speaker 8: Here you are, mister Nelson, A quart of chocolate and vanilla.
Speaker 1: Oh, Thank you, Charlie.
Speaker 4: Now you take Charlie here. I'll bet he never worries
Speaker 4: about anything, do you, Charlie?
Speaker 8: I try not to, of course, I'm sort of a
Speaker 8: cheerful person by nature. But worry can be a terrible thing, gentlemen, Yes, sir, ree,
Speaker 8: I think it's the cause of more evil dispositions than
Speaker 8: anything else in the world.
Speaker 1: Oh, sure can bring a person down. Have you ever
Speaker 1: met my wife, mister Nelson, Oh, I don't think I have.
Speaker 1: Is she a worrier?
Speaker 9: She used to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I'd come home of an evening and there she'd said,
Speaker 8: worrying and worrying. She just made everybody around her miserable,
Speaker 8: and you decided to do something about him. Well, sir,
Speaker 8: I figured the best way to make a person stop
Speaker 8: worrying is to get his mind off it. So every
Speaker 8: time i'd come home and find her with a long face,
Speaker 8: I'd give her the old worry treatment. What would you do, Charlie, Well, sir,
Speaker 8: I'd go out to the kitchen, get me a couple
Speaker 8: of ice cubes, sneak up behind her.
Speaker 1: And drop them right down her back. And that worked.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, is like a new woman.
Speaker 8: I met her last night for the first time since
Speaker 8: our divorce, and she's the happiest woman I've ever hed. Hey,
Speaker 8: you are must us in quart and chocolate.
Speaker 9: An did you get my magazine for me?
Speaker 2: Dereck Ozzie?
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, what did you say?
Speaker 2: Did you get my magazine?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah? In fact, I'm just reading an article in it.
Speaker 1: Would you like to read it?
Speaker 2: No, go ahead, I'll read it later.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what a dinner was terrific? I think I ate
Speaker 6: a little too much. This belt must be shrinking or
Speaker 6: something I have to unfasten all the time after.
Speaker 2: What's the article about, dear?
Speaker 6: Or one of those things with a list of questions
Speaker 6: you're spout to ask yourself. One of them, are are
Speaker 6: you afraid you're living beyond your means?
Speaker 2: Isn't everybody?
Speaker 1: And are you slipping? Are you slipping?
Speaker 4: There? No?
Speaker 3: But your pants are best nets built?
Speaker 1: Again I listen to this. Are you losing your old friends?
Speaker 9: Well? Are we?
Speaker 1: Of course not.
Speaker 6: We have the same old friends we've always had, except
Speaker 6: maybe they're a little older. Thornberry's, the Duncles, the Randolphs,
Speaker 6: the Hodges, all the same old friends. Parties, outings together,
Speaker 6: good times. Where is it we're invited.
Speaker 1: For New Year's Eve?
Speaker 2: No place, dear, I thought you.
Speaker 1: Said somebody's invited us to a party or something.
Speaker 2: No, not that I know of. What are the other
Speaker 2: questions in the article?
Speaker 1: Oh, it's silly stuff.
Speaker 6: Do you feel that people are avoiding you? Does it
Speaker 6: seem you are less popular than you once were?
Speaker 2: Well, that's a standard thing, isn't.
Speaker 6: Oh sure, But the idea of printing these things telling
Speaker 6: a person how to stop worrying, it's this dull, stupid stuff.
Speaker 6: Isn't even interesting. Let me read you some more. Are
Speaker 6: you having difficulty making new friends? Do you feel that
Speaker 6: old friends are deliberately avoiding you?
Speaker 1: Silly?
Speaker 2: What's silly about it?
Speaker 4: Well, for one thing, the idea of telling you to
Speaker 4: ask yourself these idiotic questions. I immediately assume that everybody
Speaker 4: who reads the magazine talks to himself.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be so bad if the questions made sense. Do
Speaker 1: you feel that people are deliberately avoiding you?
Speaker 2: It's getting light there, let's go to bed.
Speaker 6: Are all the doors locked? I think, Well, we don't
Speaker 6: want prowlers walking through the house.
Speaker 1: In the middle of the night.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Was the Ricky's roller skates scattered around a prowar and
Speaker 3: never get past the dining room.
Speaker 4: Something the matter, dear, No, just got sort of a
Speaker 4: slight pain on my right shoulder.
Speaker 6: Harriet, Harriet, what's the matter to her? How long has
Speaker 6: it been since we've seen the randolphs Oh?
Speaker 2: It's been quite a wild wye.
Speaker 1: Well, didn't we invite them over a couple of weeks ago?
Speaker 2: Yes? We did, but they had another engagement they couldn't come.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that seem like a weak excuse?
Speaker 3: How'd you happen to start thinking about the randolphs?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Just lying here thinking? What was that noise?
Speaker 2: I didn't hear any noise?
Speaker 6: Sounded like a loose shingle on the roof. One of
Speaker 6: this roof will last through the winter sleep, Harriet? Yes,
Speaker 6: do you remember if I locked the garage door?
Speaker 2: The car isn't there there? You left it at the shop.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I can imagine all the things that mechanic's
Speaker 4: gonna find wrong with it, probably telling me we need
Speaker 4: a new motor. I wonder what a new motor costs.
Speaker 4: Car isn't worth that much? Drag it away to.
Speaker 1: The junkyard, Ozzie.
Speaker 3: If you don't stop tossing, you're gonna fall out of bed.
Speaker 3: Read in the paper today about a man who rolled
Speaker 3: out of bed and broke his leg.
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: This bed is pretty high.
Speaker 4: I think I'll sleep on the floor. I hope I
Speaker 4: can get an appointment with doctor Brown.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, But for goodness, next one's more.
Speaker 4: This right shoulder of mine is just killing me.
Speaker 1: Hey, are you less popular than you used to be?
Speaker 4: I was until I started telling folks about International Sterling
Speaker 4: Special New Holiday Set. Now everybody loves me, sure, because
Speaker 4: that holiday set is the kind of Christmas present that
Speaker 4: makes a hero out of a guy, makes him look
Speaker 4: like Santa Claus in person, and it's the kind of
Speaker 4: present that makes a woman feel just wonderful. International Sterling
Speaker 4: Special Holiday Set is a twenty six piece service for four.
Speaker 1: There are eight tea.
Speaker 4: Spoons, four luncheon forks, four luncheon knives, four solid forks,
Speaker 4: four butter spreaders, one tablespoon and one sugarshell. Along with
Speaker 4: the International Sterling Set goes a handsome chest large enough
Speaker 4: to hold one hundred and thirty two of those shining.
Speaker 1: Lustrous pieces.
Speaker 4: The price is under one hundred dollars and you can
Speaker 4: buy it now and pay for it after Christmas in easy,
Speaker 4: convenient stages. Does that fit into everybody's Christmas plans just perfectly?
Speaker 4: Think how delighted mother would be if the whole family
Speaker 4: clubbed together and gave her this stunning international Sterling holiday set.
Speaker 4: Or those young friends of yours who are going to
Speaker 4: be married soon, wouldn't they think Santa Claus had arrived
Speaker 4: in person when they found this magnificent set under their
Speaker 4: Christmas tree?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 4: You bet make this Christmas the most thrilling of all
Speaker 4: by giving the solid silver with beauty that lives forever
Speaker 4: international Sterling. Remember the Ozsie of yesterday, the smiling, cheery
Speaker 4: faced devil may care Ozzie who came striding up Rogers Road.
Speaker 4: Can this be the same man who cautiously picks his
Speaker 4: way up the street wearing a belt and suspenders, galoshes
Speaker 4: over his rubbers, a raincoat over his top, and carrying
Speaker 4: an umbrella.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, it's aunty.
Speaker 4: Now he's leaving the sidewalk and circling out into mister
Speaker 4: Thornberry's yard.
Speaker 1: Oh, I see a limb on the oak tree hangs
Speaker 1: over the sidewalk. It could fall on a man's head.
Speaker 4: Now he's walking along under the eaves of mister Thornberry's house. Well,
Speaker 4: there's an airplane flying over, and you never can go
Speaker 4: when a wheel might drop off.
Speaker 1: Now he slips across the.
Speaker 4: Lawn, up the front steps, carefully avoiding the loose board.
Speaker 1: And into the house. Ah is that you, Yes, yes.
Speaker 2: Come in the living room. I watched to see the drake.
Speaker 1: Oh are those the ones you bought?
Speaker 9: I'd be lovely.
Speaker 2: You were right. It was silly for me to worry
Speaker 2: about them.
Speaker 4: They match perfectly, don't They seem to be a little
Speaker 4: long and dragging back and forth on the floor is
Speaker 4: going to wear them out.
Speaker 3: You know. Now, that's the way they're supposed to be.
Speaker 3: Look at the material, See.
Speaker 9: How well they're made?
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 6: Just the feeling? This material doesn't look like it had
Speaker 6: cleaned very well. Some of this fabric shrinks right up
Speaker 6: to nothing.
Speaker 2: You know, well, supposed to clean very well.
Speaker 1: It's guaranteed, guaranteed.
Speaker 2: Who guaranteed the people who made it?
Speaker 1: What people do you know? The people who made this material?
Speaker 2: Well, of course I don't know.
Speaker 1: How do you know they'll make good on their guarantee?
Speaker 2: Well it's a reputable firm, I don't mean something.
Speaker 1: Who says they're reputable.
Speaker 2: The sales lady at the emporium.
Speaker 4: I suppose the sales lady at the emporium knows the
Speaker 4: people who made the materials. And who knows the sales
Speaker 4: lady at the emporium, I.
Speaker 2: Don't, Well, I do, and she's quite honest. And the
Speaker 2: drakes will clean.
Speaker 1: Suppose they don't wear, they'll wear. Suppose they wear out,
Speaker 1: they won't wear out. Suppose they don't wear out.
Speaker 4: You mean to say, we have to look at these
Speaker 4: same draps.
Speaker 2: I'll be for heaven's sakes. What's gotten into you?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh?
Speaker 4: Hi, Pop?
Speaker 1: Hello, David?
Speaker 2: You were sure right about that arithmetic test. Pop, I
Speaker 2: didn't have a thing to worry about.
Speaker 1: You mean you got one hundred?
Speaker 2: No, but I got eighty seven. Well, good for you, David.
Speaker 1: Eighty seven, Well, that doesn't sound like such a high
Speaker 1: mark to me. Son.
Speaker 2: Well, Billy Johnson only got eighty eight, and his mother
Speaker 2: is a teacher, honest, prop eighty seven is considered awful.
Speaker 1: Good. Well, I hope.
Speaker 4: So you gotta be awful careful about those teachers, though,
Speaker 4: especially arithmetic teachers.
Speaker 6: They can be very tricky. Give you a good mark
Speaker 6: just to get your overconfident. Then on the next exam
Speaker 6: when they give you the works, I.
Speaker 5: Don't think so, Pop, don't worry, I'll do okay.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get a glass of milk. Ozzie. What's gotten
Speaker 2: into you?
Speaker 3: Ever since you read the article my magazine last night,
Speaker 3: you've been worrying about everything.
Speaker 2: Did you pick up the car tonight at the garage?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it wasn't as bad as they thought it'd be,
Speaker 6: just something wrong with the carbureta cost three dollars and
Speaker 6: thirteen cents.
Speaker 2: Well that all to make you feel a little better.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: It didn't sound right to me coming home. There's a
Speaker 6: clicking sound on the motor. Sounds like it's going to
Speaker 6: fall apart at any minute.
Speaker 2: No, that's ridiculous. You got home all right, didn't you?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 2: You didn't. What happened?
Speaker 4: I left it down to the gas station to have
Speaker 4: the oil changed.
Speaker 3: Well, what I mean is there's nothing wrong with the car.
Speaker 3: What's happening to you, dear?
Speaker 2: I thought you never worried about anything.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just it.
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, everything has started piling up on me.
Speaker 6: Your drapes can't be cleaned or they'll wear out. David's
Speaker 6: having all that trouble with his schoolwork. The car won't run.
Speaker 6: I had to walk home the rest of the way.
Speaker 3: Ozzie, you're just letting your imagination run away with you.
Speaker 2: You said yourself.
Speaker 3: You left the car at the gas station, and David
Speaker 3: isn't having trouble with his schoolwork, and.
Speaker 2: My drapes can be clean. I'll stop worrried.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried, Harriet. You know I don't worry.
Speaker 2: You see doctor Brown about your shoulder today?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yes, what did he say? He said to stop worrying?
Speaker 3: Who?
Speaker 2: Everybody?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 9: Hi, Emmy Luke, come on in.
Speaker 2: Oh my, what a pretty dress.
Speaker 3: Do you like it?
Speaker 4: It's very attractive, Emmy a little. But try not to
Speaker 4: build your hopes too high.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, mister Nelions.
Speaker 6: Oh it's obvious you got the dress to wear to
Speaker 6: a Christmas party. But I mean, don't feel too let
Speaker 6: down if something goes wrong.
Speaker 2: Ozzie, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: You know how things can happen.
Speaker 6: She might get all dressed, ready to go to the party,
Speaker 6: looking forward to a wonderful evening.
Speaker 1: That's just it. The last minute.
Speaker 4: Your boyfriend may call up he can't make it. His
Speaker 4: hot rod is frozen up. Maybe his father won't let
Speaker 4: him his tuxedo. Everybody else is going to the party,
Speaker 4: and there you sit.
Speaker 1: Alone in your room, broken hearted.
Speaker 2: But that can't happen, mister Milis, So.
Speaker 1: You never can tell anybody cares.
Speaker 2: The party was last night. I went with my boyfriend
Speaker 2: and I had a wonderful time.
Speaker 6: You're brave, emmy. You would say you did even if
Speaker 6: you didn't. A few folks will excuse me.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 6: I think I'll go upstairs and clean up. Where are
Speaker 6: my rubber soul sneakers, Harriet?
Speaker 2: On the shelf in the closet?
Speaker 1: Why, I think I'll take a shower.
Speaker 4: And that tile is pretty slippery?
Speaker 2: Hey, mom, Yes, David Park doesn't seem very happy today.
Speaker 2: What's wrong? He seems terribly worried about everything, doesn't he?
Speaker 2: He sure does. What's that magazine?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: This is the one that Daddy was reading last night,
Speaker 3: And there's an article in here that gives me a
Speaker 3: wonderful idea.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: You late and see?
Speaker 1: What's the matter, Harriett?
Speaker 2: Oh nothing, dear, I was just thinking anything wrong?
Speaker 3: No, I was just thinking suppose something serious is wrong
Speaker 3: with a car, it'll take an awful lot of money
Speaker 3: to fix it.
