By My Life Soup, Your Beauty Hope and Luster Cream
shampoo for soft, glamorous, caressible hair. Bring you our Miss
Brooks starring Eve Arden.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Not very many of us like to get up early
in the morning, but our Miss Brooks, who teaches English
at Madison High School, doesn't seem to mind at all.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
No.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
In fact, I get quite a kick out of waking
up in the morning because it offers proof positive that
I managed to live through the day before. However, last Wednesday,
my landlady, missus Davis, woke me at what seemed like
an excessively early hour.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Canny, get up, Cannie? Why because it's six am and
I'm leaving the house early, and there are several things
I want you to do, like what, for instance, like
feeding our cat Minerva at five minutes after seven?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
But why don't you feed her now?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
Why? Connie?
Speaker 5 (01:05):
You ought to know better than that Minerva never gets
up until seven.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I'm sorry I lost my head. That cat certainly doesn't
lead a dog's life. But why are you leaving the
house so early, missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I've got to visit my sister Angela. I received a
message from her during the night.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Oh I hope nothing's wrong.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
No, she's quite well, she said, she just wants to
see me.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
She must have called pretty late. I didn't hear the
phone ring at all.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Oh, she didn't phone Connie.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Was it a wire? No special delivery letter? No walkie
talkie pigeon? Before I use up my twenty questions, how
did you hear from your sister?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Well, you know how absent minded Angela is, Yes, and
you probably have noticed it. But lately I've been growing
quite absent ninety.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Two, I've noticed it.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Last night, I finally arrived at the point where Angela
and I were tuned to the same wavelength. She reached
me by mental telepathy.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
How did she come over? AM or FM?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You can joke if you like, but I know just
as surely as I'm standing here, that Angela wants to
see me immediately.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
So I'll have to leave right after breakfast.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
All right, missus Davis, it'll do you good to get
out of the house for a change anyway. Now, what
did you want me to do for you?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Do for me?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yes? You said when you woke me that there were
several things you wanted me to do. I did, yes,
in connection with your leaving the house this morning.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
But I didn't leave the house this morning.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I know, but you're going to I am I must
be tuned in on the wrong wavelanguage. I'll see you breakfast,
missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Will how did you like your breakfast? Connie?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Fine, missus Davis. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get
ready to go to school. Mister Boynton's picking me up.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Oh good, well, I'll finish these dishes before I go.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Connie, Oh, I'll get it coming. Well, if it isn't
our school, custodian, mister Jensen, If.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It isn't your school custodian, mister Jensen, then what.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
When you opened the door?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You said, well, if it isn't our school, custodian, mister Jensen.
Then I said, if it isn't your school custodian, mister Jensen,
then what Catching people saying things that don't take any
real meaning is a hobby of mine?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Oh that's very cute, mister Jensen. Won't you come in?
Speaker 8 (04:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Thank you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Oh that's better.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
What's better?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Look look at what I don't mean. Look, I mean, listen,
I'm in kind of a hurry.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
What kind.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
The usual kind to leave the house? And get to school. Therefore,
your hobby doesn't have the charm for me. It might
have it some other time.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I guess you've got me there where.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Oh great, you've got me doing it. Never mind, mister Jensen.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Well, you can open up the school this morning, if
you will, Miss Brooks. I talked to mister Conslon on
the phone and he said, to give you the key.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Oh here it is.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
It's this that little devil with the blue ribbon on it.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Oh I thought that was your tie. Oh oh, you
mean the key to the school. But why don't you
open up as usual? Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Because I have another stop to make before I go
to school. It might cause me to be tardy. Another stop, Yes,
the maternity hospital. My wife is going to have a baby.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Why, mister Jensen, I.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Don't know, Just because I got.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
It's our sixth child, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Honestly, mister Jensen, well.
Speaker 9 (05:44):
I didn't steal them.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
If that's what you meant, well, I'd better be getting
along now.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
My wife will be expecting me. She's sort of used
to having me arrived.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I imagine she is. Mister Please accept my heartiest best
wishes for both of you.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh, thank you, Miss Brooks. May I remind you to
be prompt in opening the school. I wouldn't want mister
Conker and the students to be kept waiting.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Now they won't be, mister Jensen, and be sure and
let me know whether your wife has a boy.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
Or a girl.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
I will, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Good day, mister Jensen.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Yes it is, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I'll just put this key on the whole table here
so I don't forget it.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Oh, Connie, will you come into the kitchen a.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Moment please, yes, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I'm all finished with the dishes and i'd like to
leave immediately now, Connie, when you make wake Minerva, be
sure to wake her gently. She's been quite sensitive about
noise ever since she fell into my new speed Queen
washing machines.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I don't know why. It did a very good job
on her, but I'll be careful not to upset her.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Missus d Oh, here's Minerva. Now, good morning, dear cal
did you sleep?
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Hear me?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Well?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I'll be running along now. You'll give Minerva her milk,
won't you come in?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Certainly, Missus Davis. Remember me to your sister Angela. I remember, I.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Will dear, put a little cream in with the milk.
She likes it that way, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Missus Davis. That is if we have any cream here.
We are no no cream left. She'll have to drink
it black. I'll just pour the milk into this dish.
There you are, Minerva. There isn't any cream left, Minerva.
(07:47):
We'll have cream for you tomorrow. Bring that milk, or
I'll turn on the washing machine. I thought that would
do it.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'll get it. I'm on my way out anyway.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Oh, come in, mister Boyton.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
Thanks, Missus Davis, you're leaving the house so early.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yes, let's see if I've got everything my purse, my hat,
my shoes and oh yes, now I'm all said. You'll
find miss Brooks in the kitchen. Mister Boyton. I'm going
over to see my sister Angela.
Speaker 11 (08:25):
Oh say hello for me. Hello, I mean to your sister.
Speaker 10 (08:33):
Missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Oh, thank you, mister Boynton, goodbye.
Speaker 10 (08:39):
Good morning Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Hello, mister Boyton. Would you like a cup of coffee?
Speaker 10 (08:42):
Oh? Yes, thanks for you. Join me.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'd love to here up for.
Speaker 10 (08:47):
A riving the mister Jensen down the block. Cream. Yes please,
he told me his wife was going to have a baby.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I think large families are wonderful. When I meet the
right man, if I haven't already met him, I want
to get married and have several children of my own.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
Sugar, Yes, mister.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Boynton, I mean yeah, look at the clock.
Speaker 10 (09:11):
We'd better hurry with his coffee.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh you're so right, mister Boynen. And before we go,
i'd better unlock the back door. Missus Davis invariably forgets
her key.
Speaker 10 (09:19):
Oh she didn't forget it this time.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
When she was leaving, I noticed she took a little
fat one off the hall table.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
She took the little fat mister Boydon, that was the
key to the school. Mister Jensen asked me to open
up this morning. Oh no, oh yes, mister boynhan.
Speaker 11 (09:31):
Oh gosh, pretty soon, mister Cocklan and all the students
will be arriving at school. Nobody will be able to
get in. Mister Cocklan will be furious at you.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Don't remind me. I can see the sparks flashing from
his tongue already. Gee, I'm quite a spot, aren't I
aren't I That shows how upset I am, mister Boynton.
An English teacher should never be guilty of saying aren't I?
Speaker 10 (09:51):
But miss Brooks, what about school? Supposed to be? Hurry over?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
There is merely the contraction of are not. Therefore, one
who says aren't I is guilty of saying are not I?
The correct form is am I, not aren't I? Being
nothing more than an absurd and altogether ungrammatical affectation.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
Miss Brooks, what about school?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I ain't going.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Harness Brooks darring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment.

Speaker 12 (11:39):
Use big bath size pomolive in tub or shower.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Well. I finally decided to face the music, even though
I knew that the music would consist of some angry
pear shaped tones emanating from mister Conklin's pear shaped head.
By the time mister Voyne he dropped me off, there
were so many students milling around dear old Madison High
that it looked like a training school for young pickets.
(12:10):
I found mister Conklin pacing up and down outside his
office windows.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
Ah, there you are, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Good morning, mister Conklin, it's.
Speaker 13 (12:17):
About time now, then, if you'll give me the key,
the key, Yes, the key, let me have it.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I'll let you have it as quickly as possible. There
is no key, no key, but mister Jensen was supposed
to he did, but then I put it on a
table in the hall and missus Davis took it with
her to her sister Angela's. It wasn't really my fault,
mister concor.
Speaker 10 (12:37):
I don't care whose fault it was.
Speaker 13 (12:39):
We've got to get into this school and quickly. You see,
miss Brooks, the Board of Education is presenting Madison High
with a plaque today, a plaque for what, mister content.
It's an award for the best attendance record of any
high school in the counter.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Why that's wonderful. Congratulations mister Conklin.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
Thank you, miss Brooks.
Speaker 13 (12:57):
But I'd rather receive your felicitations inside my office instead
of out here.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That's your phone, isn't it, mister Conklin.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 13 (13:10):
But thanks to your far sighted suggestion after those two
boxes of chalk disappeared, ours is the only school with
a double lock on the front door and bars on
all the windows. I can't get in to answer it.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, maybe it isn't important, mister Conklin.
Speaker 13 (13:27):
I think I know who's calling, Miss brook It's the
Board of Education. They want to know when I'm going
to hold an assembly. An assembly, yes, mister brook they
want to give us a plaque for perfect attendance.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
And nobody's in school to answer the phone.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh please, mister Conklin, try to be calm. We'll think
of something. Maybe I could call missus Davis when she
gets to her sisters. Now Angela has no phone. I
know I'll go out to her house.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
You'll do no such thing, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 13 (13:58):
You'll need every teacher we've got to set up glasses
on the athletic field.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Oh, daddy, Miss Brooks, don't you think it's time we're
getting into school?
Speaker 11 (14:05):
Now?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
That's an excellent suggestion, Harriet.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
Miss Brooks hasn't got the key.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Wait a minute, you drive, don't.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
You, Harriet?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Well, certainly, Miss Brooks, can I go somewhere for you?
Speaker 13 (14:15):
You will stay right here, Harriet. It must be someone
else you can send, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (14:19):
How about my dream boat, Walter Denton dream boat.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
He's an idiot, Daddy.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Walter is a wonderful driver, he'll pick up the key
wherever it is and have it back here in.
Speaker 13 (14:37):
Nothing flat, nothing but his head, that is. Oh maybe
that's a good idea, Miss Brooks. Get Denton to drive
out to wherever missus Davis is. At least his brain
is expendable.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
All right, I'll look for Walter and ask him to
go after the key. You won't have to look for him,
miss Brooks. Walter's coming over right now.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Well, if it isn't my light of love, are you
a bonje r, Miss Brooks? And to you esteem principal felicitations?
What's tomorrow, mister Conklin, catch your rancid wheat cake at breakfast?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Mister Conklin's not in a very good mood this morning, Walterer.
You see, today's the day the Board of Education is
supposed to award Madison the plaque for its fine attendance record.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Oh what's bad about that? Let's get into the jolly
institution and snag that little beauty.
Speaker 13 (15:31):
I'd love to Walter, maybe we could melt you down
and pull you through the bar. I'm going to inform
the other teachers of our dilemma. Miss Brooks, Please get
expendable here on his way with me.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Harriet Flywalter, A you lovely one and lovely One's father.
Speaker 13 (15:58):
Book.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Certain times when I say, it's an animosity in that man. Now,
what do you suppose could cause such a reaction?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Hatred? For one thing? Now, please listen carefully, Walder. You
know missus Davis's sister Angela, don't you?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Sher?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
I gave missus Davis a right out there last week.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Good do you remember where she lives? Well, it's way
on the other side of town.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
I didn't notice the addressed, but I think I could
find it.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
There was a mailbox on the corner.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
A mailbox. Isn't there anything else that would help you
identify it?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Well, nothing outstanding.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
What color was the house?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I don't remember the background color, but the stripes were purple.
I guess I could find.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
It all right, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
But I wish you'd tell me what this is all about.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, it's about the key to the school, Walter. Missus
Davis walked off with it this morning, and it's up
to you to go and get it back. Now, just
ask her for the little fat key on a blue ribbon.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Your wish is my command, Miss Brooks. My eager Gelloppy
is champing.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
At the curb.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
What kind of a car is that anyway, Walder.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Oh, it has no name, Miss Brooks, just a slow
a slogan.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Yeah, you know how they call a new huts in
the car you step down into. Yes, well this is
the box you back away from.
Speaker 13 (17:13):
Well, miss Brooks, it's over hours and it's Denton left,
and he's still not back with that key.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I'm sure it won't be much longer, mister Conklin.
Speaker 10 (17:20):
Here goes that phone again. I wish mister Stone would
stop calling my office.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I know one way to stop him, mister Conklin. We
can go to the malt shop next door and call him.
That way, you can stall him off till Walter gets
back with the key.
Speaker 13 (17:31):
Oh it's not a bad idea, better than standing around
listening to that phone.
Speaker 10 (17:34):
Come on, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Well, here we are, mister Conklin, Martin's malt Shop, Madison's
unofficial annex.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
After you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Well, if it is a Miss Brooks, hi, Marty sneak
away from the ogre for a little fizz water.
Speaker 10 (17:55):
No, the ogre is along today. I'm sorry, mister Conklin.
Just a little nickname I picked up from the kids.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Why I'm surprised at you, Marty. Nobody at Madison calls
mister Conklin by anything but his right name.
Speaker 10 (18:09):
Well, I'm happy to know that, miss Brookes.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Oh, here's the phone booth right over here. Pear shape,
mister Conklor, I'll style the board of Education for you.
School day, school day, dear old golden rooms.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Bord of Education. Mister Stone speaking.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Mister Conklin, calling you, mister Stone. One moment, please, here
you are, mister.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
Con Hello, mister Stone, Is that you Conklin?
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Yes, it is, mister Stone.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I might as well have a coke while I'm waiting here.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
It's about time. I was beginning to think that Madison
High School had slid into the sea.
Speaker 13 (18:49):
Well, uh, I have to step out of my office
for a minute, mister Stone. But I'm back in it now. Yes, sir, watch.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
What's what?
Speaker 9 (19:04):
That's good? Are you hissing me?
Speaker 10 (19:10):
No? No, we must have a bad connection.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
It's a terrible connection. You say you're in your office. Yes, sir,
I'll call you right back.
Speaker 10 (19:17):
But mister Stone, by Heaven's.
Speaker 9 (19:18):
Sakes, don't disappear again. Goodbye.
Speaker 13 (19:20):
Wait, mister Stone, Wait, mister Wait, miss, this is.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
The last straw.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
What did he say? Mister Concres said he's going to
call me right back.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Now I'm in deeper than ever.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Oh we'll figure some way out of this. After all,
mister Stone is only a human being.
Speaker 13 (19:35):
A human being who happens to be the head of
our local board of education.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Oh this is awful.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Use me, daddy, but the telephone in your office is ringing.
The telephone in your office is ringing.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
What do you suggest, Harriet?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I don't know, daddy, but don't worry. I'm sure Walter
won't fail us.
Speaker 13 (19:51):
Eat better not now, Miss Brooks, time going over to
inspect the classes that have been set up on the
athletic peoples. I want you to call the board and
talk to mister Stone.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Me but what your I tell him?
Speaker 10 (20:00):
Improvise?
Speaker 13 (20:01):
Oh, Miss Brooks, I'm pouting on you.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Oh great, well, I might as well get it over with.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
What are you going to tell mister Stone, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I don't know yet, Harriet. I'll wait till he answers.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Hello, mister Stone speaking Hello.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Mister Stone. This is Miss Brooks at Madison High. I'm
calling for mister Conklin's office. Mister Stone, he asked me
to call you give me a double strawberry temptation, Mark.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Oh, indeed, what about.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Miss Brooks about his not being able to talk to
you for a while.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
What in the world is that show?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Oh that's the radiator, mister Stone. It's defective radiating in tune. Well,
they're just testing it as a matter of fact. That's
why mister Conklin can't talk to you. One of our
students was just in his office and this jet of
hot water started out of the radiator and mister Conklin
jumped in front of the boy to save him and
accidentally knocked out six of the boy's teeth.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
That's too bad, miss Brooks. That radiator should be fixed immediately.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Oh, it was, mister Stone. But mister Conkland doesn't want
to leave the boy's side. He's on the couch across
the room. He's giving him a transfusion.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
A transfusion of teeth.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Oh, didn't I tell you? He also cut his foot.
He's in a bad way, mister Stone. We're hoping for
the best.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
Eh. Where is the boy now? In a molded milk machine? Off?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
There must be somebody else on this line, mister Stone,
i'd better call you back.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
No, Miss Brooks, don't bother. I don't quite know what's
going on at Madison today, but I'm going to find out.
You tell mister compan that i'll call him in exactly
ten minutes. If he isn't at the phone prepared to
carry on a rational conversation at that time, well he'd
better be.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
But mister Stone by Miss Brooks, goodbye, and goodbye. Mister Conklin. Well,
well nothing, It's worse than ever. Mister Stone's gonna call
again in ten minutes. Wait a minute, Harriet, I think
I've got an idea. What is it, Miss Brooks. First
I'll get Marty to hang an out of order sign
on his phone booth, and then I'll call mister Conklin's
office in five minutes and leave the receiver off the
(22:27):
hook on this end.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
Do well.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
That will ensure mister Stone's receiving a busy signal when
he calls in ten minutes, and that's what he'll continue
to receive until Walter returns with the key.
Speaker 12 (22:37):
Miss Brooks, you're a positive.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Genius, Please, Harriet, don't exaggerate. I'm not a bit positive.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Please calm down, Daddy, I'm sure Walter will be back
any minute.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
Oh there.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
Instead of sending him for the key, I should have
sent some other idiot.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I should have gone myself. He's nothing but.
Speaker 13 (23:08):
An unreliable ladderd, a detestable, nauseating, blundering knucklehead.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Excuse me, mister Conklin, here's the key, bless.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
You, bore.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
Well, don't stand there and open the door.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Yes, sir, there you are, sir.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Out of the way, Out of the way. How to
get that phone? It must be mister Stone. Well, I
just give him a piece of my mind. He's thinks
he can hound me all day.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
Hello osbod confident speaking Hello Hello, there's no dial tome.
Some lame brain must have called this number and left the.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
Receiver off the hook. Hello, Hello, Hello, I found.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
This telegram under your door.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
Telegram. Let me see that. Let's see.
Speaker 13 (23:57):
Well, it's from mister Stone, it says, dear osgood the
futility of trying to reach you by telephone.
Speaker 10 (24:03):
I hereby inform.
Speaker 13 (24:04):
You that the Board of Education has authorized you to
suspend classes for the remainder of the school day in
recognition of Madison's splendid attendance record.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
Gosh, mister Conklin, does that mean there's no more school today?
Speaker 13 (24:15):
Evidently water Now, please go out to the athletic field
and inform the teachers and students of my decision to
give them the rest of the day off.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yes, sir, Oh, before I go, I better bring you
back the key.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
I left it in the door, or just leave it there.
Speaker 13 (24:28):
I've got a little work to clean up. I can
get it on my way home.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Let's make the most of our afternoon off, mis Brooks.
I'd like to do something really exciting today.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
If you're game game, wis Brooks, I'd like to take
you to the zoo.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'm afraid that's a little too gamey for me. Mister Door,
I'd much rather go to a movie. Say we must
be the last two people on the ground. I feel like, oh,
excuse me a minute, Brooks. I just noticed the front door.
Walter left the key in it. You know, the extra
lock was my idea.
Speaker 10 (25:08):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Mister Conklin's been so worried about this key all day.
I'm not gonna take any chances.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
What are you gonna do, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I'm gonna lock up the school and mail this key
to mister Conklin.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Well after I mailed the key, mister Boyne took me
to the zoo. Then we had a nice Dutch dinner,
saw a very exciting movie, and wound up at Marty's
malt Shop.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
Give us a couple of martyrs coming right up. Folk.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
That certainly was a terrifying picture, especially when Lucy starts
to hear the voices.
Speaker 10 (27:06):
I don't know, lots of manic depressors wind up like that.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Beg pardon, mister b Oh. I guess it's the effect
of that movie. Now, wait a minute, I'm not that
far gone. It's coming from the phone booth. I better
see what that is. Well, that's funny. The receiver's still
off the hook. Hello, Hello Brooks, Yes, mister Conklin. Indeed,
(27:40):
have you been trying to reach me? Mister Conklin, I have. Oh,
if it's about the school, mister Conklind, you don't have
a thing to worry about. I locked it securely before
I left the campus. Nobody can possibly get in.
Speaker 9 (27:52):
That's not what I'm worried about, Miss Brooks. I'm worried
about getting out.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Oh no, you're not still I'm still.

Oh, mister Boynton, do you think you would lift me up?
Speaker 14 (28:10):
Or?
Speaker 10 (28:10):
Of course, Miss Brooks.

This is CBS the Bombia Rush at

Brooks starring Eve Arden.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Not very many of us like to get up early
in the morning, but our Miss Brooks, who teaches English
at Madison High School, doesn't seem to mind at all.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
No.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
In fact, I get quite a kick out of waking
up in the morning because it offers proof positive that
I managed to live through the day before. However, last Wednesday,
my landlady, missus Davis, woke me at what seemed like
an excessively early hour.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Canny, get up, Cannie? Why because it's six am and
I'm leaving the house early, and there are several things
I want you to do, like what, for instance, like
feeding our cat Minerva at five minutes after seven?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
But why don't you feed her now?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
Why? Connie?
Speaker 5 (01:05):
You ought to know better than that Minerva never gets
up until seven.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I'm sorry I lost my head. That cat certainly doesn't
lead a dog's life. But why are you leaving the
house so early, missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I've got to visit my sister Angela. I received a
message from her during the night.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Oh I hope nothing's wrong.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
No, she's quite well, she said, she just wants to
see me.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
She must have called pretty late. I didn't hear the
phone ring at all.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Oh, she didn't phone Connie.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Was it a wire? No special delivery letter? No walkie
talkie pigeon? Before I use up my twenty questions, how
did you hear from your sister?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Well, you know how absent minded Angela is, Yes, and
you probably have noticed it. But lately I've been growing
quite absent ninety.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Two, I've noticed it.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Last night, I finally arrived at the point where Angela
and I were tuned to the same wavelength. She reached
me by mental telepathy.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
How did she come over? AM or FM?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You can joke if you like, but I know just
as surely as I'm standing here, that Angela wants to
see me immediately.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
So I'll have to leave right after breakfast.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
All right, missus Davis, it'll do you good to get
out of the house for a change anyway. Now, what
did you want me to do for you?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Do for me?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yes? You said when you woke me that there were
several things you wanted me to do. I did, yes,
in connection with your leaving the house this morning.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
But I didn't leave the house this morning.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I know, but you're going to I am I must
be tuned in on the wrong wavelanguage. I'll see you breakfast,
missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Will how did you like your breakfast? Connie?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Fine, missus Davis. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get
ready to go to school. Mister Boynton's picking me up.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Oh good, well, I'll finish these dishes before I go.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Connie, Oh, I'll get it coming. Well, if it isn't
our school, custodian, mister Jensen, If.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It isn't your school custodian, mister Jensen, then what.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
When you opened the door?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You said, well, if it isn't our school, custodian, mister Jensen.
Then I said, if it isn't your school custodian, mister Jensen,
then what Catching people saying things that don't take any
real meaning is a hobby of mine?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Oh that's very cute, mister Jensen. Won't you come in?
Speaker 8 (04:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Thank you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Oh that's better.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
What's better?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Look look at what I don't mean. Look, I mean, listen,
I'm in kind of a hurry.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
What kind.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
The usual kind to leave the house? And get to school. Therefore,
your hobby doesn't have the charm for me. It might
have it some other time.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I guess you've got me there where.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Oh great, you've got me doing it. Never mind, mister Jensen.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Well, you can open up the school this morning, if
you will, Miss Brooks. I talked to mister Conslon on
the phone and he said, to give you the key.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Oh here it is.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
It's this that little devil with the blue ribbon on it.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Oh I thought that was your tie. Oh oh, you
mean the key to the school. But why don't you
open up as usual? Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Because I have another stop to make before I go
to school. It might cause me to be tardy. Another stop, Yes,
the maternity hospital. My wife is going to have a baby.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Why, mister Jensen, I.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Don't know, Just because I got.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
It's our sixth child, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Honestly, mister Jensen, well.
Speaker 9 (05:44):
I didn't steal them.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
If that's what you meant, well, I'd better be getting
along now.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
My wife will be expecting me. She's sort of used
to having me arrived.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I imagine she is. Mister Please accept my heartiest best
wishes for both of you.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh, thank you, Miss Brooks. May I remind you to
be prompt in opening the school. I wouldn't want mister
Conker and the students to be kept waiting.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Now they won't be, mister Jensen, and be sure and
let me know whether your wife has a boy.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
Or a girl.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
I will, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Good day, mister Jensen.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Yes it is, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I'll just put this key on the whole table here
so I don't forget it.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Oh, Connie, will you come into the kitchen a.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Moment please, yes, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I'm all finished with the dishes and i'd like to
leave immediately now, Connie, when you make wake Minerva, be
sure to wake her gently. She's been quite sensitive about
noise ever since she fell into my new speed Queen
washing machines.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I don't know why. It did a very good job
on her, but I'll be careful not to upset her.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Missus d Oh, here's Minerva. Now, good morning, dear cal
did you sleep?
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Hear me?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Well?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I'll be running along now. You'll give Minerva her milk,
won't you come in?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Certainly, Missus Davis. Remember me to your sister Angela. I remember, I.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Will dear, put a little cream in with the milk.
She likes it that way, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Missus Davis. That is if we have any cream here.
We are no no cream left. She'll have to drink
it black. I'll just pour the milk into this dish.
There you are, Minerva. There isn't any cream left, Minerva.
(07:47):
We'll have cream for you tomorrow. Bring that milk, or
I'll turn on the washing machine. I thought that would
do it.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'll get it. I'm on my way out anyway.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Oh, come in, mister Boyton.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
Thanks, Missus Davis, you're leaving the house so early.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yes, let's see if I've got everything my purse, my hat,
my shoes and oh yes, now I'm all said. You'll
find miss Brooks in the kitchen. Mister Boyton. I'm going
over to see my sister Angela.
Speaker 11 (08:25):
Oh say hello for me. Hello, I mean to your sister.
Speaker 10 (08:33):
Missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Oh, thank you, mister Boynton, goodbye.
Speaker 10 (08:39):
Good morning Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Hello, mister Boyton. Would you like a cup of coffee?
Speaker 10 (08:42):
Oh? Yes, thanks for you. Join me.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'd love to here up for.
Speaker 10 (08:47):
A riving the mister Jensen down the block. Cream. Yes please,
he told me his wife was going to have a baby.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I think large families are wonderful. When I meet the
right man, if I haven't already met him, I want
to get married and have several children of my own.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
Sugar, Yes, mister.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Boynton, I mean yeah, look at the clock.
Speaker 10 (09:11):
We'd better hurry with his coffee.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh you're so right, mister Boynen. And before we go,
i'd better unlock the back door. Missus Davis invariably forgets
her key.
Speaker 10 (09:19):
Oh she didn't forget it this time.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
When she was leaving, I noticed she took a little
fat one off the hall table.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
She took the little fat mister Boydon, that was the
key to the school. Mister Jensen asked me to open
up this morning. Oh no, oh yes, mister boynhan.
Speaker 11 (09:31):
Oh gosh, pretty soon, mister Cocklan and all the students
will be arriving at school. Nobody will be able to
get in. Mister Cocklan will be furious at you.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Don't remind me. I can see the sparks flashing from
his tongue already. Gee, I'm quite a spot, aren't I
aren't I That shows how upset I am, mister Boynton.
An English teacher should never be guilty of saying aren't I?
Speaker 10 (09:51):
But miss Brooks, what about school? Supposed to be? Hurry over?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
There is merely the contraction of are not. Therefore, one
who says aren't I is guilty of saying are not I?
The correct form is am I, not aren't I? Being
nothing more than an absurd and altogether ungrammatical affectation.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
Miss Brooks, what about school?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I ain't going.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Harness Brooks darring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment.

Speaker 12 (11:39):
Use big bath size pomolive in tub or shower.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Well. I finally decided to face the music, even though
I knew that the music would consist of some angry
pear shaped tones emanating from mister Conklin's pear shaped head.
By the time mister Voyne he dropped me off, there
were so many students milling around dear old Madison High
that it looked like a training school for young pickets.
(12:10):
I found mister Conklin pacing up and down outside his
office windows.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
Ah, there you are, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Good morning, mister Conklin, it's.
Speaker 13 (12:17):
About time now, then, if you'll give me the key,
the key, Yes, the key, let me have it.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I'll let you have it as quickly as possible. There
is no key, no key, but mister Jensen was supposed
to he did, but then I put it on a
table in the hall and missus Davis took it with
her to her sister Angela's. It wasn't really my fault,
mister concor.
Speaker 10 (12:37):
I don't care whose fault it was.
Speaker 13 (12:39):
We've got to get into this school and quickly. You see,
miss Brooks, the Board of Education is presenting Madison High
with a plaque today, a plaque for what, mister content.
It's an award for the best attendance record of any
high school in the counter.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Why that's wonderful. Congratulations mister Conklin.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
Thank you, miss Brooks.
Speaker 13 (12:57):
But I'd rather receive your felicitations inside my office instead
of out here.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That's your phone, isn't it, mister Conklin.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 13 (13:10):
But thanks to your far sighted suggestion after those two
boxes of chalk disappeared, ours is the only school with
a double lock on the front door and bars on
all the windows. I can't get in to answer it.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, maybe it isn't important, mister Conklin.
Speaker 13 (13:27):
I think I know who's calling, Miss brook It's the
Board of Education. They want to know when I'm going
to hold an assembly. An assembly, yes, mister brook they
want to give us a plaque for perfect attendance.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
And nobody's in school to answer the phone.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh please, mister Conklin, try to be calm. We'll think
of something. Maybe I could call missus Davis when she
gets to her sisters. Now Angela has no phone. I
know I'll go out to her house.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
You'll do no such thing, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 13 (13:58):
You'll need every teacher we've got to set up glasses
on the athletic field.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Oh, daddy, Miss Brooks, don't you think it's time we're
getting into school?
Speaker 11 (14:05):
Now?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
That's an excellent suggestion, Harriet.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
Miss Brooks hasn't got the key.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Wait a minute, you drive, don't.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
You, Harriet?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Well, certainly, Miss Brooks, can I go somewhere for you?
Speaker 13 (14:15):
You will stay right here, Harriet. It must be someone
else you can send, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (14:19):
How about my dream boat, Walter Denton dream boat.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
He's an idiot, Daddy.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Walter is a wonderful driver, he'll pick up the key
wherever it is and have it back here in.
Speaker 13 (14:37):
Nothing flat, nothing but his head, that is. Oh maybe
that's a good idea, Miss Brooks. Get Denton to drive
out to wherever missus Davis is. At least his brain
is expendable.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
All right, I'll look for Walter and ask him to
go after the key. You won't have to look for him,
miss Brooks. Walter's coming over right now.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Well, if it isn't my light of love, are you
a bonje r, Miss Brooks? And to you esteem principal felicitations?
What's tomorrow, mister Conklin, catch your rancid wheat cake at breakfast?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Mister Conklin's not in a very good mood this morning, Walterer.
You see, today's the day the Board of Education is
supposed to award Madison the plaque for its fine attendance record.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Oh what's bad about that? Let's get into the jolly
institution and snag that little beauty.
Speaker 13 (15:31):
I'd love to Walter, maybe we could melt you down
and pull you through the bar. I'm going to inform
the other teachers of our dilemma. Miss Brooks, Please get
expendable here on his way with me.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Harriet Flywalter, A you lovely one and lovely One's father.
Speaker 13 (15:58):
Book.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Certain times when I say, it's an animosity in that man. Now,
what do you suppose could cause such a reaction?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Hatred? For one thing? Now, please listen carefully, Walder. You
know missus Davis's sister Angela, don't you?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Sher?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
I gave missus Davis a right out there last week.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Good do you remember where she lives? Well, it's way
on the other side of town.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
I didn't notice the addressed, but I think I could
find it.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
There was a mailbox on the corner.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
A mailbox. Isn't there anything else that would help you
identify it?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Well, nothing outstanding.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
What color was the house?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I don't remember the background color, but the stripes were purple.
I guess I could find.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
It all right, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
But I wish you'd tell me what this is all about.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, it's about the key to the school, Walter. Missus
Davis walked off with it this morning, and it's up
to you to go and get it back. Now, just
ask her for the little fat key on a blue ribbon.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Your wish is my command, Miss Brooks. My eager Gelloppy
is champing.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
At the curb.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
What kind of a car is that anyway, Walder.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Oh, it has no name, Miss Brooks, just a slow
a slogan.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Yeah, you know how they call a new huts in
the car you step down into. Yes, well this is
the box you back away from.
Speaker 13 (17:13):
Well, miss Brooks, it's over hours and it's Denton left,
and he's still not back with that key.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I'm sure it won't be much longer, mister Conklin.
Speaker 10 (17:20):
Here goes that phone again. I wish mister Stone would
stop calling my office.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I know one way to stop him, mister Conklin. We
can go to the malt shop next door and call him.
That way, you can stall him off till Walter gets
back with the key.
Speaker 13 (17:31):
Oh it's not a bad idea, better than standing around
listening to that phone.
Speaker 10 (17:34):
Come on, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Well, here we are, mister Conklin, Martin's malt Shop, Madison's
unofficial annex.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
After you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Well, if it is a Miss Brooks, hi, Marty sneak
away from the ogre for a little fizz water.
Speaker 10 (17:55):
No, the ogre is along today. I'm sorry, mister Conklin.
Just a little nickname I picked up from the kids.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Why I'm surprised at you, Marty. Nobody at Madison calls
mister Conklin by anything but his right name.
Speaker 10 (18:09):
Well, I'm happy to know that, miss Brookes.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Oh, here's the phone booth right over here. Pear shape,
mister Conklor, I'll style the board of Education for you.
School day, school day, dear old golden rooms.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Bord of Education. Mister Stone speaking.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Mister Conklin, calling you, mister Stone. One moment, please, here
you are, mister.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
Con Hello, mister Stone, Is that you Conklin?
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Yes, it is, mister Stone.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I might as well have a coke while I'm waiting here.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
It's about time. I was beginning to think that Madison
High School had slid into the sea.
Speaker 13 (18:49):
Well, uh, I have to step out of my office
for a minute, mister Stone. But I'm back in it now. Yes, sir, watch.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
What's what?
Speaker 9 (19:04):
That's good? Are you hissing me?
Speaker 10 (19:10):
No? No, we must have a bad connection.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
It's a terrible connection. You say you're in your office. Yes, sir,
I'll call you right back.
Speaker 10 (19:17):
But mister Stone, by Heaven's.
Speaker 9 (19:18):
Sakes, don't disappear again. Goodbye.
Speaker 13 (19:20):
Wait, mister Stone, Wait, mister Wait, miss, this is.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
The last straw.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
What did he say? Mister Concres said he's going to
call me right back.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Now I'm in deeper than ever.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Oh we'll figure some way out of this. After all,
mister Stone is only a human being.
Speaker 13 (19:35):
A human being who happens to be the head of
our local board of education.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Oh this is awful.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Use me, daddy, but the telephone in your office is ringing.
The telephone in your office is ringing.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
What do you suggest, Harriet?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I don't know, daddy, but don't worry. I'm sure Walter
won't fail us.
Speaker 13 (19:51):
Eat better not now, Miss Brooks, time going over to
inspect the classes that have been set up on the
athletic peoples. I want you to call the board and
talk to mister Stone.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Me but what your I tell him?
Speaker 10 (20:00):
Improvise?
Speaker 13 (20:01):
Oh, Miss Brooks, I'm pouting on you.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Oh great, well, I might as well get it over with.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
What are you going to tell mister Stone, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I don't know yet, Harriet. I'll wait till he answers.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Hello, mister Stone speaking Hello.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Mister Stone. This is Miss Brooks at Madison High. I'm
calling for mister Conklin's office. Mister Stone, he asked me
to call you give me a double strawberry temptation, Mark.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Oh, indeed, what about.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Miss Brooks about his not being able to talk to
you for a while.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
What in the world is that show?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Oh that's the radiator, mister Stone. It's defective radiating in tune. Well,
they're just testing it as a matter of fact. That's
why mister Conklin can't talk to you. One of our
students was just in his office and this jet of
hot water started out of the radiator and mister Conklin
jumped in front of the boy to save him and
accidentally knocked out six of the boy's teeth.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
That's too bad, miss Brooks. That radiator should be fixed immediately.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Oh, it was, mister Stone. But mister Conkland doesn't want
to leave the boy's side. He's on the couch across
the room. He's giving him a transfusion.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
A transfusion of teeth.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Oh, didn't I tell you? He also cut his foot.
He's in a bad way, mister Stone. We're hoping for
the best.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
Eh. Where is the boy now? In a molded milk machine? Off?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
There must be somebody else on this line, mister Stone,
i'd better call you back.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
No, Miss Brooks, don't bother. I don't quite know what's
going on at Madison today, but I'm going to find out.
You tell mister compan that i'll call him in exactly
ten minutes. If he isn't at the phone prepared to
carry on a rational conversation at that time, well he'd
better be.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
But mister Stone by Miss Brooks, goodbye, and goodbye. Mister Conklin. Well,
well nothing, It's worse than ever. Mister Stone's gonna call
again in ten minutes. Wait a minute, Harriet, I think
I've got an idea. What is it, Miss Brooks. First
I'll get Marty to hang an out of order sign
on his phone booth, and then I'll call mister Conklin's
office in five minutes and leave the receiver off the
(22:27):
hook on this end.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
Do well.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
That will ensure mister Stone's receiving a busy signal when
he calls in ten minutes, and that's what he'll continue
to receive until Walter returns with the key.
Speaker 12 (22:37):
Miss Brooks, you're a positive.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Genius, Please, Harriet, don't exaggerate. I'm not a bit positive.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Please calm down, Daddy, I'm sure Walter will be back
any minute.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
Oh there.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
Instead of sending him for the key, I should have
sent some other idiot.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I should have gone myself. He's nothing but.
Speaker 13 (23:08):
An unreliable ladderd, a detestable, nauseating, blundering knucklehead.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Excuse me, mister Conklin, here's the key, bless.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
You, bore.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
Well, don't stand there and open the door.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Yes, sir, there you are, sir.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Out of the way, Out of the way. How to
get that phone? It must be mister Stone. Well, I
just give him a piece of my mind. He's thinks
he can hound me all day.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
Hello osbod confident speaking Hello Hello, there's no dial tome.
Some lame brain must have called this number and left the.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
Receiver off the hook. Hello, Hello, Hello, I found.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
This telegram under your door.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
Telegram. Let me see that. Let's see.
Speaker 13 (23:57):
Well, it's from mister Stone, it says, dear osgood the
futility of trying to reach you by telephone.
Speaker 10 (24:03):
I hereby inform.
Speaker 13 (24:04):
You that the Board of Education has authorized you to
suspend classes for the remainder of the school day in
recognition of Madison's splendid attendance record.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
Gosh, mister Conklin, does that mean there's no more school today?
Speaker 13 (24:15):
Evidently water Now, please go out to the athletic field
and inform the teachers and students of my decision to
give them the rest of the day off.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yes, sir, Oh, before I go, I better bring you
back the key.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
I left it in the door, or just leave it there.
Speaker 13 (24:28):
I've got a little work to clean up. I can
get it on my way home.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Let's make the most of our afternoon off, mis Brooks.
I'd like to do something really exciting today.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
If you're game game, wis Brooks, I'd like to take
you to the zoo.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'm afraid that's a little too gamey for me. Mister Door,
I'd much rather go to a movie. Say we must
be the last two people on the ground. I feel like, oh,
excuse me a minute, Brooks. I just noticed the front door.
Walter left the key in it. You know, the extra
lock was my idea.
Speaker 10 (25:08):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Mister Conklin's been so worried about this key all day.
I'm not gonna take any chances.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
What are you gonna do, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I'm gonna lock up the school and mail this key
to mister Conklin.
