Speaker 1 (00:00):
Why don't make one more attempt to scare him up
to a post road tonight, because for the third.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Time this week, I'll be stuck with some extracurricular work
for our beloved principle. Mister Conklin's presiding over election meetings
at his club, and since they have no secretary, he's.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Hired me to take down the minute. Oh that's probably
Walter Denson. Come in.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Let's see a little for me here, all.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Right, Angela, to see you after school.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Oh your trouble, trouble, toil and trouble, caulder and boil
and something something bubble that on the.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Which has seen him at Bethness Brooks.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Thanks Walter, sounded like the comedy highlight of East Lynne.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
But what's your toil and trouble? Max?

Speaker 5 (00:40):
It's mister Conklin. Gosh, I hope he doesn't find out
where I took his daughter Harriet last night.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
I told him I was taking her to the movies, And.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Where did you take her?

Speaker 4 (00:49):
We parked up on our post road.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
That's fine, it sure was.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
Incidentally, we cruised by a few teach who were parked
along the way, Miss Brooks.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
And evidently their minds were far far away from the
old blackboard.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh that's different, Walter. They're a dope while you and
Harriet are only children. The difference in your ages is great.
Jolphe is a great boy.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
You should hear us gurgling at each other. But what
we say doesn't make much sense.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
But it's your as fun saying it.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I can imagine the fire you' was snorting all this
to me, Walter, Well, because I need.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Your help, miss Brooks, I wound up in a heap
of trouble as.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
You came to the right heat.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Watch your beef well.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Shortly after I returned home last night, a woman named
Missus Gorman dropped.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Over and told me that she lives at twelve oh
nine Outpost Road.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
That's the house that Harriet and I had parked in
front of. So so Missus Gorman heard every honeyed word.
We cooed to each other, and then jotted down my
license number, which was simple to trace inasmuch as she
happens to be a policewoman at Juvenile Hall.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
A policewoman.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Yeah, what a dandy place I picked the park Now,
Lucky my folks weren't homeless Brooks at least I had
time to get the old beam working. Since missus Gorman
didn't actually see who was in it, I cooked up
the yarn that Harriet and I hadn't used the car
last night, and that the entire matter was.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Simply a case of mistaken identity.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
It's taken identity.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Yeah, I told her that every night I lend my
car to you and mister Boynton.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, that was quick thinking.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Wal I've got to head.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
He was on a spur of the moment, miss Brooks,
under Missus Gorman's cold stare, your name is.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Just spouted from my lips like a geyser.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Well that's the last time you'll turn your oral hose on.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Me, geyser of Oh, not taken easy, miss Brooks.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
There's no reason for you to be embarrassed when missus
Gorman catches you and mister Boynt in my car tonight.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
When who catches me? And which and what?

Speaker 4 (03:02):
When it's this way? Miss Brooks. She didn't believe my
story till I told her that you and mister.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Boynton will be borrowing my car again tonight, and you'll
probably park right under her window and shmoozle again. When
she hears you two gurgling at each other. She can
sneak out of the car and take a look at
you for herself. Eh, well, nothing can happen to you,
miss Brooks.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
She's a juvenile authority.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
But if she reported me to mister Conklin, I'd be expelled.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Won't you help me, miss Brooks?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Well, I'll tell you what i'll do, Walter.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
If I can.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Persuade mister Boynton to cooperate, I'll help you. And if not,
if not, you'll have to forget it.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I'd look ridiculous up there, schmoozling by myself.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Let me tidy up your desk for you, Daddy.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
That won't be necessary, Harriet.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
I'll just tell you, Martha, Martha, what are you doing
at school?

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Please run along, Harriet, dear, I have an extremely personal
matter to discuss with your father.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
All right, Mother, I'll see you later, Daddy.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
By now.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Well, this is certainly an unexpected pleasure, dumb pleas, it's
no pleasure osgood.

Speaker 7 (04:16):
When I was in the market a few minutes ago,
I had a dreadfully disturbing chest with the grocers. He
happens to be a very good friend of a missus Gorman.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
And who is Missus Gorman.

Speaker 7 (04:26):
She is a policewoman at Juvenile Hall. Have you read
the newspaper stories concerning high school students.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Necking on Outpost Road?

Speaker 6 (04:35):
I have, and I'm a pall thank Heaven, I brought
up Harriet in an atmosphere.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Of discipline and righteousness.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
You see now how my iron hands has paid off.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
I'm proud, indeed to feel that my daughter has let.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Me finished osgood.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Missus Gorman lives on Outpost Road now. Last night, according
to what she told the grocers, she eaves dropped on
a couple who were parts in front of her home.
The car belonged to Walter Denton. And you know who
he was with last night.

Speaker 8 (05:06):
Your docter, and that liver lipped lunkhead told me even
take care of.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Well.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
Walter claimed that he lunged his car to another couple,
whose names the grocer couldn't recall. For Harriet's sake, I'm
hoping that such was the case. But until we have
proof of any wrongdoing on their part, are good. I
think it would be unwise of you to discuss the
matter with either Harriet or Walter.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
You're right, don't you worry your pretty little head about
this dreamboat. I'll conduct a quiet but utter investigation.

Speaker 9 (05:44):
And hurry it out the proof.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
You can depend on me.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Good Now, I'll run on home.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
Oh there's one thing more our good. I heard a
report that several faculty members as well as students sometimes
park on the Outpost road to him.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Then, Oh, I'd love to get my hands on them.
Out both road.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's quite a busy place.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Good morning, sir.

Speaker 7 (06:14):
Oh, how nice to see you, missus Conklin, I'll say,
Miss Brooks.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Well, I was just leading to you too, and I
hope I hope so.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Too, missus Conklor.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
Now don't worry about things, sweetie. I'll investigate thoroughly that
little matter.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
We've discussed it very well.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Also, goodbye, Miss Brooks.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Bye, missus Conklin.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
There's something I have to tell you, Miss Conklin. I
have an important engagement tonight, and I'm.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Afraid I won't be able to make it over to
your club.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
Well, that's quite all right, Miss Brooks. I shall be
going to the club either. Something has arisen that will
need my undivided attention this evening.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Oh well, that's fine. I'll run along the class matter.

Speaker 6 (06:47):
To do that, and bear in mind if you will.
That's from this day forward, I want you and all
of my teachers to be on your best classroom behavior. Remember,
the task of building decent citizens in our schools boils
down to a case of monkey see monkey.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Doo, monkey see monkey do exactly.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
At a certain age, we are highly impressionable. We learn
many things by observing and copying the behavior of those
around us who are more experienced in the ways of
the world. Therefore, Miss Brooks, would you promise me that
you will watch the actions of your students, Reddy.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Carey naturally, missus Compton before tonight, I want to learn
everything I can well.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
At lunch in the school cafeteria, I explained the kid's
predicament to mister Boynton. Then, to my delighted surprise, he
agreed to take their places with.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Me on our post road that evening. Then I made
a delightful suggestion. A thing like this needs rehearsing, don't
you think, mister Biden.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I suggest that after lunch we go up behind the
gym and practice the kissing.

Speaker 9 (07:51):
All that won't be necessary. I remember exactly how he
did it when I kissed you last Christmas.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I know, but this time you'll have to do it
without thematic log Beard.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Hi, a, folks, do you mind.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
If I sit down?

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Well, please do, Walder.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Mister Boynton's agreed to go along with your scheme. Walder.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Oh that's great.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
I knew you'd come through for me, mister Boynton. In fact,
I just typed your parts out in typing class our parts.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Well sure, well, is it just like making a movie.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
You gotta know your lines. If your dialogue isn't exactly
like Harriet's and mine was.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Last night, missus Gorman might get wise.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Now here's your part, mister Boynton, and yours, Miss Brook's
fag Now, let's run through a quick rehearsal. Right now,
I'll set the scene on action. Mister Boynton parks car
in front.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Of twelve oh nine out post road.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
He turns off headlights and cuddles Miss Brooks.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
In his arms. Your first line, mister Boynton, it will
go on. Read it?

Speaker 10 (08:53):
Oh yes, uh, well here we are, sugar cookie let's neck.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Right now action. He kisses her madly. Read your line,
Miss Brooks.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Stop breathing so hard, dreamgoat, you're theming the windshield.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
We are right, My folks are going to be out
tonight so suppose we meet at my house at seven thirty.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Then, after a final rehearsal, I'll give you the.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Keys to my car, mister Boyton, then you can drive
miss Brooks off to missus Gorman's house.

Speaker 9 (09:37):
I ate, okay, frankly, I don't like this scheme at all, Walter.
I'll only go through it that if miss Brooks insists, Well,
what do you say, miss Brooks?

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Let me see. I'm sure that's Walter Denton's house. Oh yes,
if this is his car, occurved, Oh, nobody's looking. If
I can just conceal myself in the bank seat, Oh
it's Angela Devon.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
I am on my way to catch the eight o'clock
movie and it's only seven forty five now, So I
thought i'd drop in on missus Compton and ask her
to join me.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
My wife, you mustn't tell it you saw me.

Speaker 9 (10:26):
I told her I was going to the club.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
What.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Oh, well, I'm conducting a little investigation without my wife's knowledge.
I have good reason to believe that my daughter Harriet
is in that house with Walter Denton's, and it's very
shortly they will be hiding themselves off to a clandestine
clam bake on our coast road. Therefore, I intend to
hide myself in the back seat of Denton's car here
and find out how they behave themselves when they think

(10:49):
they're a lowe.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh now that's a pretty mean tree.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
Well, I'm doing it for their own good, and the
rest assured that should I catch them red handed, I'll
merely speak to them in a very farther manor.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Well, Halliet is your daughter, and there's certainly no concern
of mine.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
I'd better go to the movies by myself tonight.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
Good night, and good night Angela, and good riddance. Now
to conceal myself in the back seat of this giloppe
and we go pull this blanket over me. Oh that's fine.

Speaker 9 (11:26):
Well we're all roads, yes, miss Brooks, I'll slide in
first if you don't mind.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh fine, you sit behind the wheel and I'll sit
at a respectful distance until.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
We arrive at our destination.

Speaker 9 (11:40):
Miss Brooks, do you call that a respectful distance?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I forget. You can't see the road if I'm on
your lap.

Speaker 9 (11:47):
Well, with mister Conklin concealed in the back seat of
Water's geloppee and an.

Speaker 6 (11:51):
Unsuspecting mister Boynton and Miss Brooks on the front seat.

Speaker 9 (11:54):
They made quite an incongruous freesome as they.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
Approached out Post Roads.

Speaker 9 (11:59):
Oh, we're all most there, miss Brooks, and you hardly
said a word during this entire trip.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Oh forgive me. I'm thinking of what I'm going to
say when we park. You know, it could be my.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Imagination, mister Boynton, but I've noticed something rather strange.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
Strange.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
The back of this car seems more underslung than it
was this morning.

Speaker 9 (12:19):
Walter's probably carrying something heavy back.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
There must be a tub of lard.

Speaker 9 (12:28):
Hush, you know I can hardly make out the house
numbers in this darkness. Oh oh, that's the place over
the right. This is twelve or nine out Post Road.
Miss Brooks.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Good, now, let's start the action.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Turn off the ignition. Mister Boynton, then speak up.

Speaker 10 (12:46):
Okay, well here we are.

Speaker 9 (12:49):
Sugar Cookie comes a daddy.

Speaker 10 (12:52):
My little heart flutter.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I'm all yours, loves u.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Um um. Where did you ever learn to.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
Kiss like that?

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Tightening gas from mister Conklin's car. Oh, now tell me
those three little words that I'm longing to hear.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
I am ill.

Speaker 9 (13:35):
Whose aren't the word mister Conklin, Yes, it's me, love duck.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
You teachers supposed to be models for my students, nicking
like a couple of giraffes.

Speaker 8 (13:52):
What's the meaning of this?

Speaker 9 (13:53):
We were just trying to act like Walter and Harriet
when they were up here last night.

Speaker 6 (13:56):
Mister Bindon, Oh.

Speaker 9 (14:00):
I'm sorry, Miss Brooks, it slipped out.

Speaker 8 (14:03):
So Harriet and Liver lips we're up here.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Well, you may as well have the.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Whole story, mister Conflin. Missus Gorman, juvenile hall policewoman who
lives here at twelve oh nine, overheard the exchanging puppy
love phrases, but she didn't see them.

Speaker 9 (14:20):
So when she traced water, he pretended he'd leant his
car to Miss Brooks and me. Then he asked us
if we'd drive up here tonight in the same car
and re enact what he and Harriet did last night.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
It's very interesting. However, the number on the house to
the ride is ten oh nine. Twelve o nine must
be a couple of blocks up the street. Now, then,
Miss Brooks, am I to glean from your gushing performance
with mister Boydan that my daughter spoke in a similar
manner to Walter Denton last night.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Well, yes, sir, her.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Mother must never know.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
We've got to throw Missus Gorman off Harriet's trail once
a brawl. Boyton, I want you to drive Miss Brooks
up to twelve o nine and do a rebroadcast of
the ruble I heard a minute ago. Not me, sir.

Speaker 9 (15:06):
I didn't want to do it in the first place.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Mister Boyton, where are you going?

Speaker 9 (15:11):
You two can figure out the next scheme, Miss Brooks.
I'll walk down the hill and catch a bus.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
Good night for mister Boyton.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Let him go, Miss Brooks, you and I can play
the scene. Who I'll just hop into the driver's seat
and away we go.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
If you stand here by the window, you'll be able
to hear everything, Missus counting.

Speaker 7 (15:43):
Oh thank you, Missus Dorman. It's very kind of you
to allow me into your home so that I might
personally conduct this investigation.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
You're very welcome, my dear. I think heron thought to
know what's going on me day.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
Oh, how right you are. I would have brought my
my husband along, but he's busy at the club. Poor Osgoode.
He's been working like a dog at election meetings every
single night.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
That car fully enough. It's the same one that was
here last night. Oh I still hope your daughter isn't
in it.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
Let's be quiet and i'll see if I can recognize
the voice.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
Well, here we are again.

Speaker 7 (16:29):
Oh no, I'm all yours.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Love Duck loves Duck.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's her voice familiar to you.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
I'll say it's familiar.

Speaker 7 (16:40):
And he always said she annoyed him. Well, now I
know how.

Speaker 8 (16:47):
All this is living doll.

Speaker 7 (16:50):
Hey, no, he's working at the club busy.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
What do you say, missus Purvian?

Speaker 7 (16:56):
Well, love stuck out there is my husband and doll
face is an English teacher.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Follow me, miss consent. You can slip out this tie
door and sneak up on them.

Speaker 7 (17:08):
Thanks. Oh you know.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
What you are, just a crazy, mixed up principle.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh cool, doll, cool.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Cool, cool.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
From none.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
I am your captain, My captain.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
I'm gonna steer your heart into the bubbling waters of eggs.

Speaker 8 (17:31):
And now tell me those three little words that I'm
longing to hear.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
How's the club? Drop banker, captain, the typhoon.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Just hit.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
