Hello, Hello Jack, this isArchie. Let me talk to mom and
come, I don't by her death. Relax, Hochy, Relax. The
r coming twenty about the Wells,martyred all the dead, and now for
(00:29):
our weekly visit to Riverdale. It'sSaturday afternoon as we look in on the
Andrews' home, but this Saturday,being the beginning of a new month,
we find mister Andrews seated at hisdesk in the living room, engaged in
the very unpleasant occupation of paying lastmonth's bills. Nine five or fourteen,
seventy twenty one and eleven is thirtytwo makes thirty two dollars and forty eight
(00:51):
cents. And that settles that whothese bills? Money? Money, money,
money. Everybody and his brother wantsmoney. Can I have some money?
I guess I was wrong, wrong, wrong about what Mary. Before
you walk in here, I remarkto myself that everybody and his brother wants
money. I should have said everybodyand his brother and my wife wants money.
(01:12):
Oh, Fred, I only wantmy weekly allowance so I can go
shopping. Mary, I know whatyou only want, but just look at
these bills. Oh, you alwayshave a lot of bills on the first
of the month. That's exactly thepoint. There was just no reasons why
a small family living as modestly aswe do should spend the kind of money
we spend. Mary, We've gotto start economizing. But Fred, we
(01:33):
entertain very little, We go outvery rarely, We buy only the clothes
we need, and we have noservants except the cleaning woman once a week.
Now, what's there to w economizeon? Everything? What I said
everything, Dear. If there areno big items to cut down on,
then we've got to cut down alittle on these small items. That's the
only way to save money. Ijust watch the pennies everywhere. The dollars
(01:55):
will take care of themselves. Fred, that's ridiculous. Yuh right, that's
absolutely d ridiculous. Now, Mary, what is ridiculous? All this talk
about saving pennies. It's more troubleand it's worth and it never amounts to
a thing. Oh is that sowell, missus Andrews, You've got a
surprising store for you. I amgoing to start a campaign right now to
save every penny we can possibly save, and I'm going to keep a record
(02:16):
at every penny I save today andI'm going to show you just how much
it adds up to in just oneday. Oh, pray, I bet
we can say as much as twodollars in one day just by watching the
little things. And two dollars aday is fourteen dollars a week, and
fourteen dollars a week is fifty sixdollars a month, and fifty six dollars
a month. Bet all right,all right, I get the point.
(02:37):
It's two million dollars by the timewe're ninety years old. Yeah, Now,
go ahead and save if you've gotsuch a saving Bar's just what I'm
going to do, Yes, sir, you just watch how much we can
save today just by turning off thelights we don't use and not wasting anything,
and by by your watching how youshop and how I shout Fred Andrews.
(02:58):
Are you insinuating I don't know howto shop, Mary, I am
not insinuating, but I'm sure youcould shop more wisely if you wanted to.
Here, just hand me that shoppinglist to yours. Now about a
nickel, I can show you howto save money. Well, I'd like
to see you find anything wrong withthis list. Let me see brand tomatoes
and aha, just what I thought, Just exactly what I thought. What's
(03:20):
the matter? What's the matter?Here? Look, look at this first
item. Three cans of tomatoes,three cans of tomato juice. Now,
and you tell me why we needthree cans of tomato juice when we only
drink it out of those anybody juicelashes bread. It so happens that tomato
juice is ten cents a can,but I get three for twenty five cents.
(03:42):
Oh you do, I certainly do. Well. Well, that's good,
fine, But what about the restof this list, all this other
stuff that says just one of everything, but that's all I need? See
see, huh, you're not usingyour foresight as you can save money by
buying three at a time, Thenbuy three of everything on the list.
(04:03):
If you don't use it today,you'll use it tomorrow. I'll correct this
list for you right now. Threebottles of vanilla extract, three boxes of
black pepper, three loads of bread, three dozen bananas, three boxes of
sugar, three bunches of parsley,three dozen eggs, and three watermelons.
(04:27):
Now that's what I call smart shopping. That's gonna save money. Oh,
for pity's sake, Fred, youcan't buy three of everything like this.
Don't expect to save anything. Isay you can. In fact, I
insist you buy everything on this list. Oh you insist, do you?
I do by Georgia. I paythe bills around here. Then I'm gonna
have something to say about how themoney is spent. And I want you
(04:48):
to buy everything on this list justthe way I wrote it down. And
that settles that, all right,mister efficiency expert. If that's the way
you feel, I'll buy everything onthis list and show it doesn't say the
thing. Oh is that so well? I'll show you that. Oh,
hello, Archie, Mary, I'llshow you. Hello, dear Mary,
I'll everyone today. Fine, Mary, I'll show you today. Is Archie?
(05:15):
All right? So it's a swellday today. But I'm trying to
talk to your mother. You mindshe was dead. I don't mind.
Thank you. You're welcome for archy, Okay, Dad, Okay, Now,
Mary, as I was about tosay, you go and buy everything
on that list, and I'll showyou that it does save money, but
you be sure you write down exactlywhat everything costs now, because I don't
want to keep a record. Yes, dear, maybe we ought to hire
(05:36):
a certified public accountant, now married. I see no reason for sarcasm.
This is an important experiment, yes, doctor, it was doctor. What
do you mean by that? Mary? She's gone there? Oh that woman.
I get no cooperation from her whatsoever, none at all. Dad,
what's this all about, Archie?This is all about money? Huh.
(06:00):
That's right. Money. I've decidedwe spend entirely too much money around here,
and from now on, we aregoing to save money every way we
can possibly think of. Well,tee, Dad, I know a wonderful
way to save money, you do, sure? You see? I got
a date with Veronica tonight. Yes, and that's gonna save what's a lot
of money? Archie? How isa date with Veronica? They're going to
save us money? Well, yousee that. I've decided that whenever I
(06:24):
see Veronica from now on, I'mgonna save a penny every time I hold
her tight. Oh fine, andwe're gonna watch the pennies grow, Archie,
would you I'm gonna save a pennyevery time we kiss good night,
And then when we are married,we can own a bungalow, a penny,
(06:46):
a kiss, a penny, hug. We're gonna save our pennies using
a big brown jug, A penny, A kiss, a penny, hug.
O rich we're gonna be. I'mgonna save a penny when we're cuddled
in a clinch closer than a quarterafter three. With all the saving neck
(07:13):
we do, it's practically a cinchthat everyone in town will think we own
a money tree. Oh a penny, A kiss, a penny, a
hug. We're gonna save our penniesin a big brown jug, A penny,
A kiss, a penny, ahug. Oh how rich we're gonna.
(07:36):
Oh how rich we're gonna. Ohhow rich we're gonna be. Well
then, how'd you like that?Ah? Chie looked? The song was
very nice. But I am notin the mood right now for songs or
(07:57):
for joking about the saving business.I'm serious about this. Saving money is
a serious thing. So that's whatI want to talk to you about,
Dad, saving no money money.Uh huh. Today's the day when I
get my allowance. Oh fine,well, Archie, you will get your
allowance, but you will get itjust as you should get it. Huh.

new fat about saving money. OctThis is not a fat. Just a

Yeah, this is work, noteven better than I thought it would.
But Veronica still doesn't know what we'redoing tonight. Then go over to
her house and tell her all aboutit. Go over there, yes,
Hockey, go over there to ourhouse and spend as much time as you
(13:09):
like, and it won't cost anything. Oh but did you ever do that?
Oh? Oh, it's easier justto pick up the phone and talk
all afternoon and run up a bill. And that's just the kind of thing
that has got to stop. Okay, dad, okay, I guess you're
right. I'll go over there rightnow, she was, who can act

Just drop in and see what you'redoing. Well, I'm just going
over to veronicas you want to comealong? Sure, I got nothing else

That's what I like about this house. Always got something good to eat
around here. Judge head, giveme that box of chocolates she took yourself,
or believe the carmells. I likethose. Well that's just too bad,
(14:18):
but you can't have them. Huh. It just so happens. We
started an economy program around here,and that box of chocolate costs almost two
dollars two dollars a pounds. Idon't see why you'd leave it lying about
here. There's free lunch for ahat to get to Riverdale from now on,
Jughead, eat before you come overhere. Geez, it isn't easy
to break your habits so quickly.Even dope teans are allowed to take me
(14:41):
juhn. I can't even have onelast chocolate for all times sake? Please,
you want me to tell people youtake candy from children? Jug Heads?
All right, all right, soyou can tell people I take candy
from children and that you're a dopefeed if you want to. But that
candy costs money and you can't haveit, so stop arguing. But I'm
hungry. Then go out in thekitchen and take some bread and butter.
(15:05):
It's bread and butter. Yes,I just lost my apps tired, that's
what I thought, And that's whyyou can't have any candies. So if
you want archie, you're going toBaronica. Just go and quit arguing.
Yeah, let's go, Judge.My father is serious about the saving stuff.
Okay, but how serious can youget? See you later that?
Yeah? I see you later,Celia saved some more money that time,
(15:28):
eh, sir. Let's see now, if I hadn't stopped Judge yet,
he'd probably have eaten another dozen chocolates. And that's the saving of twenty five
cents at least, So save candytwenty five cents till Mary thought I couldn't
save any money this way. Eh, well, just wait till she sees
(15:48):
how I've been the Dickens. Wasthat? Oh good grief, my car,
Archie, Archie, where are thecof you going? She went?
Dadonic is like you told me to, Archie Andrews. You mean to tell
me you are going to save aten cent phone call and use a fifty
cents worth of gas oil and brakesand tires just driving to Veronica's house and
(16:11):
back. Okay, daddle from backin and call her up? All right,
that's better call her up, Archie. You'll do no such things.
But Dad, if I can't havethe car and I can't call her up,
how am I gonna tell her abouttonight? You can just walk over
there? Walk, Dad, it'san awful long walk to Veronica's house,
Archie. I don't care if it'san overnight height. You're going over there,
(16:32):
to save money, and driving mycar is the way to do it.
If it's two pine a walk,use your bicycles. But you cannot
have the car with Dad, Archie, he would. Okay, Dad,
I'll put the car back in thegarage, don't bother, Just leave it
out in the front in case Iwant to use it later. Driving up
and down that driveway. You wastegas too, you know, she would,
Dad. I didn't think this economyprogram was going to be busy economical
(16:55):
what it is, so you mightas well get used to it. Okay,
Dad, nerve of those kids rousingaround in my car for no good
reason whatsoever. Just write that down. Saved on car fifty cents, sir.
This is even better than I God, I've already saved two dollars and
fifty five cents now, by George, that's what I call economy. Yes,
(17:22):
Oh Mary, Hello, dear,Well, how's the big economy program

groceries you want out to buy?Oh? That well, Fred, when
you changed the list to order threeof everything. There was so much I
(17:45):
couldn't possibly carry it home myself.So I told him to deliver it.
Deliver it, deliver it. Afterthe big speech I made about saving money
when you shop. Oh, Fred, don't be silly. The delivery is
free, Mary. The delivery maybe free as far as the story is
concerned. But I'll have to tipthe delivery boy, won't I tip the
Fred Andrews, You mean you're goingto stop and quibble about tipping a delivery
(18:07):
boy. I certainly am. Isaid save pennies, and I meant it
old. Oh, they must bethe delivery boy now. But I think
you're carrying this whole thing too far. Mary. I am not carrying it
too far. I said we weregoing to save money, and we're going
to save money. These women giveher a big lecture about saving money,
so she goes to some fancy storewith fancy delivery service. I don't know
(18:30):
why she couldn't just carry not thedelivery boy. It's Tom Jenkins. Tom
Jenkins, what's he doing here?He's standing at the door. He says
he wants to borrow some machine oilmachine. Well, by George, he
can't have it what, No,sir, that old goat's over here every
second day borrowing and paint and puttyand plaster and whatnot, and those things
(18:51):
cost money. Well, sir,he can't have the oil, now,
Fred, you can't refuse him alittle oil, I certainly can. I
am not going to save my pennyso he and borrow me out of house
and home. I'll tell you somyself, now fair, don't be Mary,
you just leave it to me allat time, old man. I

a little repair work around the house, and well I just had to run
out of machine oil. You mighthave buy borrow yours. Well, now
you know, I don't mind,old fellow, but it just happens that
I'm out of machine oil myself.Oh you are yep, awfully sorry.
I haven't got a drop on thehouse anyplace. Well that's too bad.
(19:33):
I guess I'll have to run downtownbuy some only thing to do, I
guess, And sorry I couldn't helpyou out. But where's the machine oil
on my work bench? The machineoil? What machine oil? The machine
oil I use on my bike.I'm going over to Veronica's house like you
told me to. But the frontwheel was squeaking like the decades. I

that's big can of boy you boughtlast week. You did just yesterday.
The I'm sewing machine, you remember, And she even said one thing
you'd never be without the house ismachine oil. Oh that machine Oh dad,
Well, I forgot all about that. Well, you know, Tom's
(20:18):
this is lucky. Archie just remindedme that I have some machine oil after
all. You know, I'd forgottenall about it. You know, it's
funny you actually go get the machineoil for unless you drinking. Okay,
funny how those things just slipped yourmind. You know, it's funny.
Got all about it. Got toomuch junk around the house anyway. I
(20:41):
never know what I have half thetime. You know how it is,
don't you. Here's the oil,Dad? Oh? Good, well here

dropping anytime you eat something well bye, now, goodbye, good time,
mister Jenkins. By time, oldfella, He'll go, Fred Andrews,
(21:27):
I've never been so embarrassed in allmy life. When I'm Mary, how
do you think I felt? Iwas embarrassed personally and financially. I not
only had to give him the oil, but one of my best cigars too.
And this is all your fault,Archie. My faulty was that.
How did I know, mister Jenkinswant of the machine oil? You should
have known that that old goat nevercomes over here unless you want to borrow
(21:48):
something. You start blaming Harchie forthis. I told you penny pinching never
worked, Now, Mary, itdoes work. Just because things went wrong
that time doesn't mean it won't workother times where door again ripped their grocery.
Oh my order, Fred, takethe bags from the boy. Good
grief? Did we order all that? I got only what you told me
(22:10):

Hello, Hello Jack, this isArchie. Let me talk to mom and
come, I don't by her death. Relax, Hochy, Relax. The
r coming twenty about the Wells,martyred all the dead, and now for
(00:29):
our weekly visit to Riverdale. It'sSaturday afternoon as we look in on the
Andrews' home, but this Saturday,being the beginning of a new month,
we find mister Andrews seated at hisdesk in the living room, engaged in
the very unpleasant occupation of paying lastmonth's bills. Nine five or fourteen,
seventy twenty one and eleven is thirtytwo makes thirty two dollars and forty eight
(00:51):
cents. And that settles that whothese bills? Money? Money, money,
money. Everybody and his brother wantsmoney. Can I have some money?
I guess I was wrong, wrong, wrong about what Mary. Before
you walk in here, I remarkto myself that everybody and his brother wants
money. I should have said everybodyand his brother and my wife wants money.
(01:12):
Oh, Fred, I only wantmy weekly allowance so I can go
shopping. Mary, I know whatyou only want, but just look at
these bills. Oh, you alwayshave a lot of bills on the first
of the month. That's exactly thepoint. There was just no reasons why
a small family living as modestly aswe do should spend the kind of money
we spend. Mary, We've gotto start economizing. But Fred, we
(01:33):
entertain very little, We go outvery rarely, We buy only the clothes
we need, and we have noservants except the cleaning woman once a week.
Now, what's there to w economizeon? Everything? What I said
everything, Dear. If there areno big items to cut down on,
then we've got to cut down alittle on these small items. That's the
only way to save money. Ijust watch the pennies everywhere. The dollars
(01:55):
will take care of themselves. Fred, that's ridiculous. Yuh right, that's
absolutely d ridiculous. Now, Mary, what is ridiculous? All this talk
about saving pennies. It's more troubleand it's worth and it never amounts to
a thing. Oh is that sowell, missus Andrews, You've got a
surprising store for you. I amgoing to start a campaign right now to
save every penny we can possibly save, and I'm going to keep a record
(02:16):
at every penny I save today andI'm going to show you just how much
it adds up to in just oneday. Oh, pray, I bet
we can say as much as twodollars in one day just by watching the
little things. And two dollars aday is fourteen dollars a week, and
fourteen dollars a week is fifty sixdollars a month, and fifty six dollars
a month. Bet all right,all right, I get the point.
(02:37):
It's two million dollars by the timewe're ninety years old. Yeah, Now,
go ahead and save if you've gotsuch a saving Bar's just what I'm
going to do, Yes, sir, you just watch how much we can
save today just by turning off thelights we don't use and not wasting anything,
and by by your watching how youshop and how I shout Fred Andrews.
(02:58):
Are you insinuating I don't know howto shop, Mary, I am
not insinuating, but I'm sure youcould shop more wisely if you wanted to.
Here, just hand me that shoppinglist to yours. Now about a
nickel, I can show you howto save money. Well, I'd like
to see you find anything wrong withthis list. Let me see brand tomatoes
and aha, just what I thought, Just exactly what I thought. What's
(03:20):
the matter? What's the matter?Here? Look, look at this first
item. Three cans of tomatoes,three cans of tomato juice. Now,
and you tell me why we needthree cans of tomato juice when we only
drink it out of those anybody juicelashes bread. It so happens that tomato
juice is ten cents a can,but I get three for twenty five cents.
(03:42):
Oh you do, I certainly do. Well. Well, that's good,
fine, But what about the restof this list, all this other
stuff that says just one of everything, but that's all I need? See
see, huh, you're not usingyour foresight as you can save money by
buying three at a time, Thenbuy three of everything on the list.
(04:03):
If you don't use it today,you'll use it tomorrow. I'll correct this
list for you right now. Threebottles of vanilla extract, three boxes of
black pepper, three loads of bread, three dozen bananas, three boxes of
sugar, three bunches of parsley,three dozen eggs, and three watermelons.
(04:27):
Now that's what I call smart shopping. That's gonna save money. Oh,
for pity's sake, Fred, youcan't buy three of everything like this.
Don't expect to save anything. Isay you can. In fact, I
insist you buy everything on this list. Oh you insist, do you?
I do by Georgia. I paythe bills around here. Then I'm gonna
have something to say about how themoney is spent. And I want you
(04:48):
to buy everything on this list justthe way I wrote it down. And
that settles that, all right,mister efficiency expert. If that's the way
you feel, I'll buy everything onthis list and show it doesn't say the
thing. Oh is that so well? I'll show you that. Oh,
hello, Archie, Mary, I'llshow you. Hello, dear Mary,
I'll everyone today. Fine, Mary, I'll show you today. Is Archie?
(05:15):

talk to your mother. You mindshe was dead. I don't mind.
Thank you. You're welcome for archy, Okay, Dad, Okay, Now,
Mary, as I was about tosay, you go and buy everything
on that list, and I'll showyou that it does save money, but
you be sure you write down exactlywhat everything costs now, because I don't
want to keep a record. Yes, dear, maybe we ought to hire
(05:36):
a certified public accountant, now married. I see no reason for sarcasm.
This is an important experiment, yes, doctor, it was doctor. What
do you mean by that? Mary? She's gone there? Oh that woman.
I get no cooperation from her whatsoever, none at all. Dad,
what's this all about, Archie?This is all about money? Huh.
(06:00):
That's right. Money. I've decidedwe spend entirely too much money around here,
and from now on, we aregoing to save money every way we
can possibly think of. Well,tee, Dad, I know a wonderful
way to save money, you do, sure? You see? I got
a date with Veronica tonight. Yes, and that's gonna save what's a lot
of money? Archie? How isa date with Veronica? They're going to
save us money? Well, yousee that. I've decided that whenever I

see Veronica from now on, I'mgonna save a penny every time I hold
her tight. Oh fine, andwe're gonna watch the pennies grow, Archie,
would you I'm gonna save a pennyevery time we kiss good night,
And then when we are married,we can own a bungalow, a penny,
(06:46):
a kiss, a penny, hug. We're gonna save our pennies using
a big brown jug, A penny, A kiss, a penny, hug.
O rich we're gonna be. I'mgonna save a penny when we're cuddled
in a clinch closer than a quarterafter three. With all the saving neck
(07:13):

a money tree. Oh a penny, A kiss, a penny, a

a serious thing. So that's whatI want to talk to you about,
Dad, saving no money money.Uh huh. Today's the day when I

Yeah, this is work, noteven better than I thought it would.
But Veronica still doesn't know what we'redoing tonight. Then go over to
her house and tell her all aboutit. Go over there, yes,
Hockey, go over there to ourhouse and spend as much time as you
(13:09):
like, and it won't cost anything. Oh but did you ever do that?
Oh? Oh, it's easier justto pick up the phone and talk
all afternoon and run up a bill. And that's just the kind of thing
that has got to stop. Okay, dad, okay, I guess you're
right. I'll go over there rightnow, she was, who can act

or believe the carmells. I likethose. Well that's just too bad,
(14:18):
but you can't have them. Huh. It just so happens. We
started an economy program around here,and that box of chocolate costs almost two
dollars two dollars a pounds. Idon't see why you'd leave it lying about
here. There's free lunch for ahat to get to Riverdale from now on,
Jughead, eat before you come overhere. Geez, it isn't easy
to break your habits so quickly.Even dope teans are allowed to take me
(14:41):
juhn. I can't even have onelast chocolate for all times sake? Please,
you want me to tell people youtake candy from children? Jug Heads?
All right, all right, soyou can tell people I take candy
from children and that you're a dopefeed if you want to. But that
candy costs money and you can't haveit, so stop arguing. But I'm
hungry. Then go out in thekitchen and take some bread and butter.
(15:05):
It's bread and butter. Yes,I just lost my apps tired, that's
what I thought, And that's whyyou can't have any candies. So if
you want archie, you're going toBaronica. Just go and quit arguing.
Yeah, let's go, Judge.My father is serious about the saving stuff.
Okay, but how serious can youget? See you later that?
Yeah? I see you later,Celia saved some more money that time,
(15:28):
eh, sir. Let's see now, if I hadn't stopped Judge yet,
he'd probably have eaten another dozen chocolates. And that's the saving of twenty five
cents at least, So save candytwenty five cents till Mary thought I couldn't
save any money this way. Eh, well, just wait till she sees
(15:48):
how I've been the Dickens. Wasthat? Oh good grief, my car,
Archie, Archie, where are thecof you going? She went?
Dadonic is like you told me to, Archie Andrews. You mean to tell
me you are going to save aten cent phone call and use a fifty
cents worth of gas oil and brakesand tires just driving to Veronica's house and
(16:11):
back. Okay, daddle from backin and call her up? All right,
that's better call her up, Archie. You'll do no such things.
But Dad, if I can't havethe car and I can't call her up,
how am I gonna tell her abouttonight? You can just walk over
there? Walk, Dad, it'san awful long walk to Veronica's house,
Archie. I don't care if it'san overnight height. You're going over there,
(16:32):
to save money, and driving mycar is the way to do it.
If it's two pine a walk,use your bicycles. But you cannot
have the car with Dad, Archie, he would. Okay, Dad,
I'll put the car back in thegarage, don't bother, Just leave it
out in the front in case Iwant to use it later. Driving up
and down that driveway. You wastegas too, you know, she would,
Dad. I didn't think this economyprogram was going to be busy economical
(16:55):
what it is, so you mightas well get used to it. Okay,
Dad, nerve of those kids rousingaround in my car for no good
reason whatsoever. Just write that down. Saved on car fifty cents, sir.
This is even better than I God, I've already saved two dollars and
fifty five cents now, by George, that's what I call economy. Yes,

Oh Mary, Hello, dear,Well, how's the big economy program
going? Hell? Mary, ifyou really like to know it, so

than h Marry, where is it? Where's what? Well? All the
groceries you want out to buy?Oh? That well, Fred, when
you changed the list to order threeof everything. There was so much I

Deliver it, deliver it. Afterthe big speech I made about saving money
when you shop. Oh, Fred, don't be silly. The delivery is
free, Mary. The delivery maybe free as far as the story is
concerned. But I'll have to tipthe delivery boy, won't I tip the
Fred Andrews, You mean you're goingto stop and quibble about tipping a delivery
(18:07):
boy. I certainly am. Isaid save pennies, and I meant it
old. Oh, they must bethe delivery boy now. But I think
you're carrying this whole thing too far. Mary. I am not carrying it
too far. I said we weregoing to save money, and we're going
to save money. These women giveher a big lecture about saving money,
so she goes to some fancy storewith fancy delivery service. I don't know

why she couldn't just carry not thedelivery boy. It's Tom Jenkins. Tom
Jenkins, what's he doing here?He's standing at the door. He says
he wants to borrow some machine oilmachine. Well, by George, he
can't have it what, No,sir, that old goat's over here every
second day borrowing and paint and puttyand plaster and whatnot, and those things

a little repair work around the house, and well I just had to run

I'm out of machine oil myself.Oh you are yep, awfully sorry.

on my work bench? The machineoil? What machine oil? The machine
oil I use on my bike.I'm going over to Veronica's house like you

dropping anytime you eat something well bye, now, goodbye, good time,
mister Jenkins. By time, oldfella, He'll go, Fred Andrews,

do you think I felt? Iwas embarrassed personally and financially. I not
only had to give him the oil, but one of my best cigars too.
And this is all your fault,Archie. My faulty was that.
How did I know, mister Jenkinswant of the machine oil? You should
have known that that old goat nevercomes over here unless you want to borrow
(21:48):
something. You start blaming Harchie forthis. I told you penny pinching never
worked, Now, Mary, itdoes work. Just because things went wrong
that time doesn't mean it won't workother times where door again ripped their grocery.
