The Fiber McGhee and Molly Show NBC and paper Mate
Pen Bring You Fiber. McGhee and Molly transcribe. The show
was written by Phil Leslie and Bill Dnch and directed
by Max Tutto. We'll join Fibber and Bali in just

(00:29):
a moment? Can you stop in time? Ask yourself that
question the next time you drive your car. If the
car in front of you should jam on his brakes
to avoid a stray dog, if a child should dash
across an intersection, if a tire should blow out, could
you stop in time to save a life? Slippery roads,
bogged windshields, poor visibility. All of these factors mean that

(00:51):
you must be more alert than following simple safety rules.
Always get the feel of the road before you accelerate.
Try out your brakes to discovered just how slick the
road surface may be, and adjust your speed to driving conditions.
Check on your driving habits. Keep your windshields clear of fog.
Be certain your headlights and wipers are in working conditions

(01:11):
in wet weather. Never slam on your brakes it's a
sure way to put your car into a skid on
a slick road. And always follow at a safe distance.
Traffic accidents and death rates are still extremely high.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Be careful.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Accidents don't always happen to the other fellow, Mister and
missus McGhee of seventy nine whistful this to have invited
doctor Gamble and his lady friend over this evening to
help decorate the Christmas tree. Coffee and fruitcake will be

(01:46):
served in the dining room, and the host and hostess
are getting things ready right now.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Where do you want these ornaments, Molly and the tentils.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Just put them there beside the shade areas. In a minute,
you can start them tanging the strings of lights if
you want to.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I brought them up from the basements. I see him. Boy,
are they ever a mess? Looks like a pile of
insulated spaghetti with red and green meat bottles.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Christmas tree lights are always a mess when you bring
them out for the holidays.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
You know that. I thought it wasn't gonna be like
that this year.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
It seems to me.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I remember coiling each string up separately last year and
putting them in the box to put away.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Neat you did.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I did coil the string neatly, put them in the box,
fell down the basement steps with them.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
He gathered them up and flung the whole mess into
the fruit cellar.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Remember, okay, I'll start untangling them. What time is Doc
and his galfriend coming?

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Around eight?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm sure wish Uncle Dennis was here to help us.
He could take care of putting the lights on the
tree itself in the light. Sure there's anybody knows how
a Christmas tree ought to be lit up at Uncle
Dennis because he used to come home every night. All
what you're gonna do with the candlesticks?

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Put them on the table.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
I thought we'd have our coffee and taste by candle light.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh Molly, you're not gonna put us through that eating
in the dark routine again, are you one?

Speaker 4 (03:00):
I thought it would be nice.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
You remember what happened last summer? Only had Herb and
Ruth Travis over and you made us eat by candlelight.
Herbaite the maastritiums and drank the finger bowl and said
the soup and solid were delicious.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, Herb was clowning well.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Last the night I stuck the drumstick in my eye,
and I wasn't clowning. That hurt? Did you?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Anytime you could find your mouth with fried chicken. That's
not darkness, that's eagerness. I just thought candlelight would be
sort of romantic for the doctor and missus Callahan.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
That is, huh, light the candles if you want to,
but leave the ceiling lights on two with you? Well,
if if you led strongly about it, I'll skip it.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Good.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Anyhow, when you start cutting that cake, old Fats, So,
I ain't gonna be interested in romance, just food.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh, I don't know about that. Now he drives this
girl home from the library two or three times a week.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, must have kind of tough trying to romance the librarian.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
You know that.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Why now you start.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Whispering in her ear and she thinks she's back at work.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
I guess the doctor makes out all right, though.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Got you just imagine Doc sand or have you got
a kiss for old Doc? And she said, I'll look
and see them. Who's the author of it?

Speaker 5 (04:04):
That's a funny idea, Dear.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
There's one string loose. Say you don't think what your
name Glarus is really interested in? No lard bucket? Seriously,
do you well?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
It could happen, and it looked before I forget it.
I don't want you throwing any of those comedy names
yours at the doctor tonight me you'll be trying to
make a nice impression, so.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
You behave you hear?

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh? I always behave?

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yes, you always don't behave now?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
None of that tonight?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
You mean I can't get my best friends at the
door with a cheery welcome like happy yule tied blubb
or bottom or maybe just a simple dignified good evening flab. No, okay, well,
his light's all untangled. It's not as bad as I thought.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I bought some new bobs that they're on the mantle
we always need.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, I plug this string in and see how they look.
Make sure they're in good work in order before we
put them on the tree. And we won't have trouble
later on, because don't fight. I've got a loose bob,
why you're checking?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
And I'll plug in the other string and see if
it works.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
We should buy some new lights soon. These strings are.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well, what do you know?

Speaker 5 (05:09):
It works?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Great?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Great? This one's okay now too. I think a couple
of bobs were loose.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Let me plug it in there.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Ah, look at that all it up like the great
White Way. Welljah, yay, this is the.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
First Christmas in our married life that all the tree
lights worked at the same time. Stay them there by
the tree with the ornaments.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Oh oh boy, this is a good sign, Molly. Anytime
I can get the Christmas tree lights working without running
after my toolbox and six rolls of friction tape, I'm
selling this is your nice You said it.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Niggas for once in our life.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Watch it this?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Oh how did I step on?

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Which string?

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Both of 'em?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I better run get my toolbox. Well, don't wait, Molly,
my mate. We have a date to tell the full
shopping late about paper Mate.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
McGee, I've did it right now. We want to tell
everyone who's shopping late about a swell gift idea. Oh
you mean papermate pen? Right?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, I'd like to say the paper Mate is a
pool proof gift idea. Everybody can use one and you
don't have to worry about color or styles or quality.
Paper mat is Z ten approved by bankers and school
principles all over the country.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, and I got it straight from a loose slipped raineer.
The Santa approves too. You ought to everyone else does
The famous retractable paper mat pen can't leak the ink
can't smear or transfer. You get up to seventy thousand
words without refilling.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
And paper Mat comes in seven beautiful color combinations. Buy
one on each color so you'll have some on hand
for extra gifts are favors.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's a good idea. If you're shopping late, give paper Mate.
Even after Santa takes off, you can buy paper Mate
pens that's your neighborhood drugs store for only a dollar
sixty nine.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
So if you're shopping late, give paper Mate.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Shopping late, give paper Mate. Okay, Molly, that ought to
do it? Plug him in again?

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Oh okay, contact.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Sure you got the plug in tight?

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Absolutely, something must be wrong.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Clever observation.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Well, just don't scare me, kiddle. I'll go over this
wiring inch by inch. Don't you worry. I'll get these
Christmas tree lights fixed tonight if it takes me the
next Christmas and the Empires and what you're looking at?

Speaker 3 (07:29):
What on earth is this behind the big chair here?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Did you put stays here?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
You mean those empty egg shells? Don't touch them? Kittle?
I got a great gag.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Got in the world is the idea?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Look, when old Doc comes in, you tell him to
set there in the big chair. See when he flops down,
I'll holler, watch the ornament's tatso and then I'll cunch
them eggs shells with my foot. See he will get
a very last out of look on his Faceook, No, he'll.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Do nothing of the kind. You're not going to embarrass
the doctor now in front of.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Miss Callahan, Okay, I won't the gee whiz. Here they
are now, I'll get.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
The door, come in, come in so nice to take
your boat, doc, Hi, do let me take your things.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Put your overcoat here.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
In the hall, Doctors, I'll take it. Doctor.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
What a beautiful tree, Molly, Well, I'm so glad you
could come help us decorate it there.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I appreciate being included.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
I know that you and mister McGee a George's dearest friends,
and you're sweep to include me.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
George's dearest friends. Oh bragging again, are you, George? I
didn't save both of them, Doris.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
I just meant, Molly.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
You can see at a glance that being friends with
a little mullet head here, it takes a mighty patient personality.
I'll toss your mighty personality on the sofa there, Lord doctor,
thank you, Sonny.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
I will sit down, dark locks the orham and strap home.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Great Scott Magie, I told you.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Not to pull that silly eggs shell trick.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I never touched them eggshells. Oh good, heavens said right
on a box of ornaments.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
It's perfectly all right.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Doctor Muster broken three or for him? You hope six
of them? Matter of fact, But that's okay. Clumsy, we
got plenty, terribly awkward of them.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
You couldn't help it, George.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh no, you couldn't help it, George, whar you can't
see behind your cars? Not nobody can take a periscope
six foot long look around behind that big trouble. Oh
you couldn't help it, George, Say when can we go
to work here?

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I mean she sat on that tree.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
You kids go ahead, you got a kitchen chair and
start hanging ornament stock. I gotta fix these strings of lights.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Oh you've got some beautiful ornaments here, Molly, look, George's
is pretty.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, it looks like artificial fruit. What's it supposed to be,
Molly A care?

Speaker 5 (09:34):
I think?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah? You know how a pair of his kids a
banana with its girdled off.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Get busy on the lights grey, we'll start hanging ornaments.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Got this suck at six? Okay?

Speaker 5 (09:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Absolutely brown? Here?

Speaker 4 (09:57):
How are you kindly do?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
The light's nearly ready any minute?

Speaker 4 (10:00):
It all lay minute, Hand me up some more ornaments
with your girls. Oh here's a pretty red one, George, careful, thanks.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Top of the tree is a little bear. Yeah, top
of the Doctor's getting a little bear too, ain't it? Doctor?
Shining in my eye? Niggie, Oh excuse me? That was
the light reflecting off an ornament there, Doc, I thought
it was your knocking lue. You're giving him a new
hat for Christmas, Molly, with holes in the crown so
his ears can come through it.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's an idea.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Doctor.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's great to have you around at Christmas time, Doc,
because I guess to Molly and me you'll always seem well,
just like Santa Claus does.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
That's a very nice thought, my boy.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Are you referring to my jovial, cheery disposition or my
well known generofrity? Oh? I was referring to your big
ground shape doctor. See their Molly, see how chakes when
he laughs like a bowl full of jelly Meg.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
He doesn't mean anything, Doris. They go on like this
all the time.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
I know, go on, Cornball, get the lights ready? Want
me to run down to Cramer's and buy some new
tree lights? Molly, we all know, butter some ears.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Never going to get them? All?

Speaker 2 (11:02):
We all do?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Do?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
We all off for your big fat information doctor. The
lights are all fixed, new bolts and everything.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Wonderful.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
String them on the tree and light them up, and
land some coffee and fruit cake and admire our work.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
This will just be the prettiest tree in time. And
why not?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Look who decorated it. Re reason these lights took me
a while was because I did a real job while
I was at it. I sliced the two strings together
so they'll be easier to handle.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
Good.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
That's a good idea. Go ahead, plug them in.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm okay, where's the wall plug?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Here it is? Watch how pretty them new bulbs look there?
Holy smoke, it is what happened? Every light in the
house is out dark, isn't it?

Speaker 5 (11:41):
I think I like the tree better the other way
we could see it.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
What do we do now, mister Edison, Hey, I got
a wonderful idea. Let's ride up some candles, Molly, have
our coffee and cake by candlelight. I just love candle lights.
It's more romantic that way, and I clean.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
River and Molly will be right back. Only one more
shopping day left. Sure, hope you've completed all except those
inevitable last minute finishing touches. Tomorrow, if you wind up
from the mad whirl of last minute Christmas shopping, unwind
as you sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful programs

(12:27):
as to get home, take off your shoes and relax
as you listen to the radio. Tomorrow evening, NBC will
be celebrating Christmas Eve on many of your favorite programs.

(12:51):
of the Christmases which remain bright us in his memory
of show business. Ralph Edwards promises you a very special
Christmas Eve show, and throughout the evening the Christmas chimes
will ring out on MBC. We hope that tomorrow night,
after the stockings are hung by the chimney. With care,
you'll let us at NBC join you for Christmas.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Eve, Maamic was a nice mat.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Candilight was just as romantic as you said it would be.
You know, Doc Gambell's in love.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
He told me so, did he really? What do you say?

Speaker 2 (13:25):
What do you tell it? Well, it was just before
they left. I took him out to the kitchen, you know,
to get glass water. You know what he says to me,
he says. McGee says, I love that fruitcake. So I
gave him a piece to take home.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Good good night, Good night all.
