I am going to get a goodnight's sleep. I am not going to
be disturbed by some some kettle drumsqueeching beat me daddy seven to the balls.
(05:58):
Father, I'm terribly sorry I evenmentioned it. I'll call Oogie right

(06:25):
message for you from mister Evans atthe plant. I was just ready to
hop into bed, into bath withyour hunting boots on. Well, Randolph,

that, yes, father, Iam yeah, you know. I just
(06:46):
happened to notice them tonight in thecloset tonight. I haven't worn them in
such a long time. I thoughti'd take them out and see if they
still fit through What just happened tonotice them in the closet? Yeah?
Something isn't how something to be infront of you for months and you'll never
even see it, and then forno reason at all, you yes,
father, Yeah, Randolph. Sometimein the course of events, you too
(07:15):
will become men, so they tellme. And when you do, you'll
understand that there are some things youjust can't explained to a woman, like
going duck hunting. Randolph, howdid you guess I didn't? Mister Evans
told me. Oh, And hesaid that when you go down at the
plant for your gun in the morning, you're not to worry because the safe
is empty. Safe empty, Randolph. You mean it's been robbed? No,
(07:38):
painted, Oh, mister Evans saidthey moved the securities to the bank
fault so the safe could be leftopen to drive. Oh, you had
me worried for eminent father. Youdon't have to start worrying until mother finds
out you going duck hunting. Now, Look, Randolph, I assure you
I had every intention of telling yourmother tomorrow night where I've been. I
just didn't want to mention it beforehand, because well, because will you remember
(08:03):
last time? Not remember? Noducks? She was quite upset. See,
she'd invited the Emazons for dot dinnerand you came home with poison ivy
instead. Yes, not to mentionthe faint of romof scutt all right,
random, but I just thought itwould be better not to say anything ahead
(08:24):
of time. No, right,but father, Yes, Randolph, now
that I know why you're getting upso early tomorrow morning, don't you think?
All right, Scrooge enough, No, two, No, I'd like

most exciting experience in a man's life. But you better get a good night's
sleep, but have to be upby three foot first. I had to
go to the movies with Judi andmother. Movie. Yes, we thought
that'd be the best way to keepfrom bothering you tonight. Oh, we
want to be sure you have agood night sleep before you meet that important
(09:07):
customer in the morning. Well,goodbye, Melvin, we're leaving. No
time you have everything you want,father, Oh, I think so I'm
going to read a little while andthen go to sleep. Oh that's fine,
(09:28):

will now to get on with somereally worthwhile reading The Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire, chapter one,page one. Oh, phone, wouldn't
(10:01):
you know it? Just when I'vegot to sleep. Oh just a minute,
just a minute, I'm coming atthe table. I'm coming. I'm
coming. Hello, father, Isthat you Judie? Something wrong? Father?
I can't talk but a minute,because it's right in the middle of
the movie and I want to getback before I missed the part where Gregory
(10:22):
Peck decided that he's been a heelafter Julie. I hated to leave it
all, but this is the partthey chowed last week in the trailer,
so I guess I can think upthe story. All right. Well,
that's lovely. Or was that whatyou wanted to tell me? Oh?
No, father, Father, yousound like you've been asleep. I have.
Oh, well, the only reasonI called was it? I thought
I should warn you that I'm expectinga call from Mitzi about a place where
(10:43):
Oogie can practice, So you bettertake the phone off the hook. I
wouldn't want anything to disturb your sleep. Oh, four two thousand, nine
ten, fourteen thousands off bells?So can't sleep? All right? All

and what happens everything? Callouts telephones? Well tell her, mister Foster,
boogie pringle, what are you doinghere? Well, I've just been
ringing. The doorbell has not avery good shout because it, mister Foster,
(11:37):
No, it suddenly is not.Well. You see, if I
get the job of playing for thesenior prom I have to be a master
of ceremonies too. I thought Ibetter practice a few jokes ahead of time.
Well, when you find one,you stopped practicing it. Well,
I thought maybe Judy'd be here andwould help me. No, she is,
Oh gosh, mister Foster. Wereyou asleep? Yes, boy,
I was. I'm sure sorry ifI woke you ups? All all right,
(12:00):
ob any man with a telephone anda doorbell in his house should know
better than they think he could geta night's sleep. Or mister Froster,
I can fix the doorbell so itcan't ring. You can't. Sure,
It's very simple. You just loosenthis, and then you pull out this
wire and push that s through.Derek's fixed for the night, frankly Steinmetz,
it looks like it's fixed forever,Froster. Good night and sweet dreams,
(12:26):
Sweet dreams, Zoie. Well backto the decline in the fall of
the Roman Empire. And then,breathlessly, Amber looked up at him.
(12:58):
O servants, Sir, she murmured. He looked at her, and what's
that? No, Oh, mygoodness, somebody's breaking thanks, So what's
going on? Dor? Hello,mister Poster, let's see Hoffman. What
(13:20):
are you doing thawing rocks through ourwindows? Oh, mister Foster, I
didn't tend to break the window.I thought it was open. I still
don't understand why you're going around flowingrocks through our windows. Well, gosh,
I just had to get an importantmessage of Bible import to Judy.
What message? I found a placefor Ugie's orchestra to be here? Oh?
(13:41):
Why didn't I just let Oogie comehere in the first place? Well,
you see, I tried to phone, but the operator said the receiver
was off for her. And thenI tried the doorbell but nobody answered,
and I just had to let Judyknow before morning. So you see,
I threw the note in her window. All right, let's see. All
right, I'm sure she'll find itsjoy, mister Foster. I hope I
(14:03):
didn't disturb you. Oh I neverpaid any attention to rocks being throwned to
a window. Were you trying tosleep, mister Poster? That was the
general idea. Oh will you seewhen my father wants to sleep, he
usually stuffs his ears with cotton cothe does. Yeah, you just try
(14:26):
it, mister Poster. Now that'san idea, mensy, I think I
will by My father said he couldn'thear anything if I. If I all
a fire engines in town, letloose it once. Oh, your father
says that too. Doesn't mean yes? Well, good night, mister Poster.

next question. Cool, here weare, all the lights are are like
his father's sound asleep, But usleave the car right here in the driveway.
(16:00):
That garage door makes so much noisemight wake him up. Yes,
that's very quiet. I'm glad Igot a new lock for the front door.
At least it won't squeak when weopen it. I just thought of
something, what Randolph wouldn't be funnyif we've gone all his trouble to be
quiet, and and then mother hadforgotten her key? Rand Out, What
a horrible idea. Don't worry aboutit, Judy, I have one clear
(16:22):
record. I've never forgotten the keyand my entire Oh dear, what's the
matter? Mother? Mother just brokea record? Rand Out? You're right,
Oh Jeep's mother. What do wedo while we're not going to disturb
your father. Come on, theback door might be open. It's no
(16:49):
use, mother, the door islocked, Randolph. You would just have
to climb through a window. Rafflesfaster, they called me in those days.
Oh dear, every window when thefirst floor is locked. I always
wondered what I would be like tobe a second story man. Well,
(17:10):
there's a leader in the garage,granddaugh, and be careful. I think
there's a rung in that leader.Yeah. What what'd you say? Mother?
I said, I think there's arung in nothing. What are you
(17:33):

a broken rung And you were soright, mother, Nor there's nothing else
(17:56):
to do. We just have towaken your father, Judy when you were
in doorbell do all right? Mother, I don't hear any ring, Mother,
I just had it fixed, soI know it works perfectly. We
probably just can't hear it outside.I'll try again. This is trauma,
Randaph. Probably take your father severalminutes to get down here. He's never
(18:18):
gotten out of bed yet without hittingthat night table. So one day.
He hasn't a toe left, andso one do we have any night table
left? Mother, I don't hearany sounds inside, dear, my time
knocking. Maybe the bell is outof order. You know, I can't
(18:40):

sleeper. He's always said he couldhear a pin drop. Well, here's
my boy, scobpin, I'll dropit. Oh, you know, I'm

off the hook. I'll tell youwhat I'll do. We'll drive out there
and if your wife say you're MelvinFoster, we forget the whole thing.
That's fine. Come on, father, I just thought of something you want,
Randolph, What are you gonna tellmother? Well, I'll just tell
her. Oh my goodness, I'ma officer line. I just remember the
(23:56):
doorbell doesn't work. These are aboutthe feeblest excuses I've ever heard. Well,
i'll make up your mind. Wifefor jail. Father, I think
he'd better take the jail. MissI'm sorry to wake you up at this
(24:18):
hour, but is this Melvine Foster'sresidence? Yes, it is. Papicers
anything matter. I caught a manprowling in your father's plan who says he's
Melvin Foster out there in my car. Oh that's ridiculous. My father sound
asleep upstairs. This man seemed prettypositive. Well, he's mistaken, and
now if you don't mind, I'dbe very grateful if you go away quietly.
My father's likely to hear the noise, and it's absolutely imperative that he'd
(24:42):
not be disturbed. That's that,missus. Yes, young lady says you're
upstairs sound asleep. Oh that's ridiculous. Look cry again. I's going to
go up to see if her fatheris there. Have a look for me

(25:56):
Byans sent me a beautiful knight.It's the loveliest. Would you please explain
this? Explain of course, staris simplest thing in the world, and
then go ahead. We see itwas this way. I got to thinking
that it well, it so happenedthat what you see it was all because
well I felt that, well itwas this way. I you see mother,
(26:17):
Melton, you and Randolph had betterget a move on if you expect
to meet that important customer on thefive fifteen train. Oh, just the
train, Randolph's four fifty. Comeon, we'll have to hurry. Good
by, Dog and Melton. I'veasked both the Amazons on the Hoffman's to

important customer who's coming in on thefive fifteen train. Five fifteen that's practically
dawn. Yes, yes, andit's very important that I make a faithorful
impression. So if there's one thingI am determined about, it is that
I am going to get a goodnight's sleep. I am not going to

(06:25):
message for you from mister Evans atthe plant. I was just ready to
hop into bed, into bath withyour hunting boots on. Well, Randolph,
why do you know who I gotmy boots on? I think of
that, yes, father, Iam yeah, you know. I just
(06:46):
happened to notice them tonight in thecloset tonight. I haven't worn them in
such a long time. I thoughti'd take them out and see if they
still fit through What just happened tonotice them in the closet? Yeah?
Something isn't how something to be infront of you for months and you'll never
even see it, and then forno reason at all, you yes,
father, Yeah, Randolph. Sometimein the course of events, you too
(07:15):
will become men, so they tellme. And when you do, you'll
understand that there are some things youjust can't explained to a woman, like
going duck hunting. Randolph, howdid you guess I didn't? Mister Evans
told me. Oh, And hesaid that when you go down at the
plant for your gun in the morning, you're not to worry because the safe
is empty. Safe empty, Randolph. You mean it's been robbed? No,
(07:38):
painted, Oh, mister Evans saidthey moved the securities to the bank
fault so the safe could be leftopen to drive. Oh, you had
me worried for eminent father. Youdon't have to start worrying until mother finds
out you going duck hunting. Now, Look, Randolph, I assure you
I had every intention of telling yourmother tomorrow night where I've been. I
just didn't want to mention it beforehand, because well, because will you remember
(08:03):
last time? Not remember? Noducks? She was quite upset. See,
she'd invited the Emazons for dot dinnerand you came home with poison ivy
instead. Yes, not to mentionthe faint of romof scutt all right,
random, but I just thought itwould be better not to say anything ahead
(08:24):
of time. No, right,but father, Yes, Randolph, now
that I know why you're getting upso early tomorrow morning, don't you think?
All right, Scrooge enough, No, two, No, I'd like
to go hunting with you, allright, Randolph, it's a deal.
(08:46):
I've always wanted to take you,show you what it's like to have the
most exciting experience in a man's life. But you better get a good night's
sleep, but have to be upby three foot first. I had to
go to the movies with Judi andmother. Movie. Yes, we thought
that'd be the best way to keepfrom bothering you tonight. Oh, we
want to be sure you have agood night sleep before you meet that important
(09:07):
customer in the morning. Well,goodbye, Melvin, we're leaving. No
time you have everything you want,father, Oh, I think so I'm
going to read a little while andthen go to sleep. Oh that's fine,
(09:28):

will now to get on with somereally worthwhile reading The Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire, chapter one,page one. Oh, phone, wouldn't
(10:01):
you know it? Just when I'vegot to sleep. Oh just a minute,
just a minute, I'm coming atthe table. I'm coming. I'm
coming. Hello, father, Isthat you Judie? Something wrong? Father?
I can't talk but a minute,because it's right in the middle of
the movie and I want to getback before I missed the part where Gregory
(10:22):
Peck decided that he's been a heelafter Julie. I hated to leave it
all, but this is the partthey chowed last week in the trailer,
so I guess I can think upthe story. All right. Well,
that's lovely. Or was that whatyou wanted to tell me? Oh?
No, father, Father, yousound like you've been asleep. I have.
Oh, well, the only reasonI called was it? I thought
I should warn you that I'm expectinga call from Mitzi about a place where
(10:43):
Oogie can practice, So you bettertake the phone off the hook. I
wouldn't want anything to disturb your sleep. Oh, four two thousand, nine
ten, fourteen thousands off bells?So can't sleep? All right? All

right, I'm coming down that table. It tries to get one night's sleep,
and what happens everything? Callouts telephones? Well tell her, mister Foster,
boogie pringle, what are you doinghere? Well, I've just been
ringing. The doorbell has not avery good shout because it, mister Foster,
(11:37):
No, it suddenly is not.Well. You see, if I
get the job of playing for thesenior prom I have to be a master
of ceremonies too. I thought Ibetter practice a few jokes ahead of time.
Well, when you find one,you stopped practicing it. Well,
I thought maybe Judy'd be here andwould help me. No, she is,
Oh gosh, mister Foster. Wereyou asleep? Yes, boy,
I was. I'm sure sorry ifI woke you ups? All all right,
(12:00):
ob any man with a telephone anda doorbell in his house should know
better than they think he could geta night's sleep. Or mister Froster,
I can fix the doorbell so itcan't ring. You can't. Sure,
It's very simple. You just loosenthis, and then you pull out this
wire and push that s through.Derek's fixed for the night, frankly Steinmetz,
it looks like it's fixed forever,Froster. Good night and sweet dreams,
(12:26):
Sweet dreams, Zoie. Well backto the decline in the fall of
the Roman Empire. And then,breathlessly, Amber looked up at him.
(12:58):
O servants, Sir, she murmured. He looked at her, and what's
that? No, Oh, mygoodness, somebody's breaking thanks, So what's
going on? Dor? Hello,mister Poster, let's see Hoffman. What
(13:20):
are you doing thawing rocks through ourwindows? Oh, mister Foster, I
didn't tend to break the window.I thought it was open. I still
don't understand why you're going around flowingrocks through our windows. Well, gosh,
I just had to get an importantmessage of Bible import to Judy.
What message? I found a placefor Ugie's orchestra to be here? Oh?
(13:41):
Why didn't I just let Oogie comehere in the first place? Well,
you see, I tried to phone, but the operator said the receiver
was off for her. And thenI tried the doorbell but nobody answered,
and I just had to let Judyknow before morning. So you see,
I threw the note in her window. All right, let's see. All
right, I'm sure she'll find itsjoy, mister Foster. I hope I
(14:03):
didn't disturb you. Oh I neverpaid any attention to rocks being throwned to
a window. Were you trying tosleep, mister Poster? That was the
general idea. Oh will you seewhen my father wants to sleep, he
usually stuffs his ears with cotton cothe does. Yeah, you just try
(14:26):
it, mister Poster. Now that'san idea, mensy, I think I
will by My father said he couldn'thear anything if I. If I all
a fire engines in town, letloose it once. Oh, your father
says that too. Doesn't mean yes? Well, good night, mister Poster.
(14:46):
And sweet dreams, Oh yes,sweet dreams, mis sweet dream You

originally heard on April the ninth,nineteen forty six. Solis always neutralize eccesscility
with toms tums toms for the tomaid. And now back to a date
with Judy. Oh mother, wasn'tit the most wonderful picture you ever saw?
(15:39):
Yes, Judy, I certainly enjoythis. I think it's a shame
poor father had to miss it.Poor old father. Sometimes I think we
don't appreciate how hard father works,do you, Randolph? I'll take the
next question. Cool, here weare, all the lights are are like
his father's sound asleep, But usleave the car right here in the driveway.
(16:00):
That garage door makes so much noisemight wake him up. Yes,
that's very quiet. I'm glad Igot a new lock for the front door.
At least it won't squeak when weopen it. I just thought of
something, what Randolph wouldn't be funnyif we've gone all his trouble to be
quiet, and and then mother hadforgotten her key? Rand Out, What
a horrible idea. Don't worry aboutit, Judy, I have one clear
(16:22):
record. I've never forgotten the keyand my entire Oh dear, what's the
matter? Mother? Mother just brokea record? Rand Out? You're right,
Oh Jeep's mother. What do wedo while we're not going to disturb
your father. Come on, theback door might be open. It's no
(16:49):
use, mother, the door islocked, Randolph. You would just have
to climb through a window. Rafflesfaster, they called me in those days.
Oh dear, every window when thefirst floor is locked. I always
wondered what I would be like tobe a second story man. Well,
(17:10):
there's a leader in the garage,granddaugh, and be careful. I think
there's a rung in that leader.Yeah. What what'd you say? Mother?
I said, I think there's arung in nothing. What are you
(17:33):
hurt? Oh no, I alwayswalk on my knees. Now what were
you going to say? Mother?And I was just going to save as
a broken rung And you were soright, mother, Nor there's nothing else
(17:56):
to do. We just have towaken your father, Judy when you were
in doorbell do all right? Mother, I don't hear any ring, Mother,
I just had it fixed, soI know it works perfectly. We
probably just can't hear it outside.I'll try again. This is trauma,
Randaph. Probably take your father severalminutes to get down here. He's never
(18:18):
gotten out of bed yet without hittingthat night table. So one day.
He hasn't a toe left, andso one do we have any night table
left? Mother, I don't hearany sounds inside, dear, my time
knocking. Maybe the bell is outof order. You know, I can't
(18:40):
understand joke. Other is sleeping throughall this racket. He's such a night
sleeper. He's always said he couldhear a pin drop. Well, here's
my boy, scobpin, I'll dropit. Oh, you know, I'm
a little worried. Maybe he's sickor something. Come on, let's call
outside his window. That's a goodidea, Melvine, Melvine, it's Dora,
(19:00):
father, father, it's Judy.I'm Randolph. It's no use.
He just doesn't hear us, Randolph. That settles it. We sleep in
the garage. Oh, we'll haveto call the police. Police. Well,
I'm worried something might have happened toyour father, and I've got to
(19:22):
get to him, even if thatdoor has to be broken down. Day

That's what I'll do. I'll shakethe door. Oh nothing, nothing
at all. We just sake too, hollo at all, as fine as

neighbors, and the moonlock on thefront door smashed the smitheringland Dora, And

Now, that's an interesting question.Yes, my father's fine. He was
just sleeping with cotton in his ears. That's well, he's all right.
Thank you very much for breaking thedoor open. It's baking, could bake
lyne melvine. It wastens enough thathe took the phone off the hook and
(20:56):
disconnected the doorbell. You had toput cotton in your ears too, or
all I wanted was to be sureI got a good night's sleep. Well,
all I can say is that towand all the problem he has caused
your customer surely must be important fromthat he is mother, that he is

Randolph, Randolph, wake up,I can why not? I haven't been

Just some ducks, Randolph. Nowlet's see here's my gun. Well,
yes, we're ready to go.One of the name. I'll get your
hands up and keep him up.But officer, I'm Melbourne Foster, I
almost plan youre sure, I know, and you're just empty. That's safe
(22:27):
to have it painted for safe painted? Oh yes, yes, as a
matter of fact, that's right.Shame on you, a big strong man
like you telling a whopper like thatto an officer of the law. You
should hear the ones he tells mother, Randol. Now, now, son,
(22:48):
what are you doing here? Well? He showing me what it's like
to have the most exciting experience ina man's life. Oh so that's training
a young kid like you to followin his footsteps. Now see here,
officer, you're making a big mistake. I tell you why, Melvin Foster,
this is my son, Randolph.We're going duck hunting. We stopped
all here to get my god.Why didn't you take your guns home with
(23:10):
you? Why? I didn't wantmy wife to suspect I was going.
I'll tell you what. I'll callyour house, and if you're not there,
I would believe your story. Whatif he is there, I'm taking
him in. Better not be there, father, Now you just tell me
the number, certainly ELM three six. Oh, let's trouble. I just
(23:33):
remembered it. It won't do anygood to call the house to the phones
off the hook. I'll tell youwhat I'll do. We'll drive out there
and if your wife say you're MelvinFoster, we forget the whole thing.
That's fine. Come on, father, I just thought of something you want,
Randolph, What are you gonna tellmother? Well, I'll just tell
her. Oh my goodness, I'ma officer line. I just remember the
(23:56):
doorbell doesn't work. These are aboutthe feeblest excuses I've ever heard. Well,
i'll make up your mind. Wifefor jail. Father, I think
he'd better take the jail. MissI'm sorry to wake you up at this
(24:18):
hour, but is this Melvine Foster'sresidence? Yes, it is. Papicers
anything matter. I caught a manprowling in your father's plan who says he's
Melvin Foster out there in my car. Oh that's ridiculous. My father sound
asleep upstairs. This man seemed prettypositive. Well, he's mistaken, and
now if you don't mind, I'dbe very grateful if you go away quietly.
My father's likely to hear the noise, and it's absolutely imperative that he'd
(24:42):
not be disturbed. That's that,missus. Yes, young lady says you're
upstairs sound asleep. Oh that's ridiculous. Look cry again. I's going to
go up to see if her fatheris there. Have a look for me
too. Well look, let's letme come with you. Okay, okay,
(25:02):
but you're going to be mighty sorryif you are upstairs, please I
must ask you not to disturb usanymore. It's father me too for him
to what good mistakes? What areyou two doing with the policeman? Margin?
Shooty, you don't have to wakeup your the whole neighborhood northern Hello,

and you identify these two missus Fosters. Why, of course it's my
husband and my son. Good Night, I'll be on my way. I'm
sorry, mister Foster. Oh it'snothing at all. Goodbye, so long
(25:56):
Byans sent me a beautiful knight.It's the loveliest. Would you please explain
this? Explain of course, staris simplest thing in the world, and
then go ahead. We see itwas this way. I got to thinking
that it well, it so happenedthat what you see it was all because
well I felt that, well itwas this way. I you see mother,
(26:17):
Melton, you and Randolph had betterget a move on if you expect
to meet that important customer on thefive fifteen train. Oh, just the
train, Randolph's four fifty. Comeon, we'll have to hurry. Good
by, Dog and Melton. I'veasked both the Amazons on the Hoffman's to
dinner, so you'd better bring backplenty of that. I'm sure i'll probably
bring home. Why do hold on, we'll be back at the frosts in

I wouldn't have missed that dinner foranything. Did you really enjoy it,
Oogie did I? Oh? Boy, there's nothing I like better than
baked beans fast. I was alittle worried, you see, Oogie.
