for soft, glamorous green girl hair.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Bring you ar, Miss Brooks, darring Eve Barden.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Our.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Miss Brooks teaches English at Madison High and though she's
fond of her work and her pupils, these last few
days have been rather hectic.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In fact, she's even had to neglect her favorite faculty member,
biology teacher Philip Boynton.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
And when I have to neglect mister Boynton, you can
be sure things are hectic.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
Of course, like most.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Scientific men, he's rather preoccupied, but he doesn't spend all
his time looking at frogs and white mice in his laboratory.
Speaker 7 (00:49):
No.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Indeed, every Friday he goes to the zoo and looks
at frog But in spite of his apparent absorption in
scientific matters, I can't help feeling that deep down underneath,
there's a definite lack of interest in me.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
But I keep trying. Now, take this past week, for example,
I had to get the mid.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Term examinations ready, but I wanted desperately to get my
work done by Thursday afternoon so I could keep a
date we had for that evening. But maybe i'd better
start at the beginning Thursday morning, my landlady, missus Davis
woke me promptly at seven point thirty.
Speaker 8 (01:25):
Oh, conn, it's seven. Help come on in, Missus Davis.
Speaker 9 (01:30):
Time to rise and shine, my dear.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I may rise, but you'll have to get your own shine.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
I'm glad you got me up on time.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Now, maybe I can make up a few questions before
my first class.
Speaker 10 (01:43):
I don't think you should do anything before you finish
your work at school. You've been going at this mid
term examination to hide, Connie. I don't like to scale you,
but I'm worried about your health.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
It's sweet of you to take such an interest in me,
Missus Davis, but work doesn't bother me.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
I'm healthy as a horse.
Speaker 9 (01:58):
Well, just the same.
Speaker 10 (01:59):
Over work isn't good for anyone, even a horse. You
wouldn't want to get You wouldn't want to get gray
around the nine, would you?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Oh? Heaven for Finn.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
But I figured I'll be all right if I keep
my fetlocked shampooed regularly, luster cream shampooed.
Speaker 9 (02:18):
That is, you've got to build yourself up. Cannie.
Speaker 10 (02:22):
Here, I've brought you some juice to drink before breakfast.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
Taste it and kill me.
Speaker 9 (02:26):
What you think it's made of?
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I should know better, but here goes ooh ooh, that's
stronger than usual.
Speaker 11 (02:34):
What's in it?
Speaker 12 (02:35):
Cannie?
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Well, I would say you.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Took a raw potato, one hard boiled egg, some rye crisp,
a cup of kidney beans, and some spinach and threw
them into the mix master.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
You're slipping deer.
Speaker 10 (02:46):
You forgot the harmony, gripe.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Well, I think I'll skip the juice this morning, Missus Davis.
I've got to hurry. Walter Denton's picking me up in
his car.
Speaker 9 (02:56):
Oh, he's yours in the shop again.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Oh, definitely, But the repair job this time won't cost
me as much as the fine I had to pay
twenty dollars for parking twenty dollars.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
Where in the world did you park the lobby.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Of the Stevens Hotel?
Speaker 9 (03:12):
But how did you ever get in there?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Just like anybody else through the revolving door.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Glad you picked me up early, Walter, I've got some
work to get done before my first class.
Speaker 10 (03:32):
Oh that's all right, miss Brooks. Glad to be of service.
But did you say you've got work to do before
your first class?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yes, Walter, I'm preparing questions for your midterm exams. It's
rather difficult getting the right ones.
Speaker 10 (03:44):
Well, if I may make a suggestion, why don't you
forget about the difficult questions and think up the simple
ones that would make it easier on you, wouldn't it?
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Yes, But frankly I questioned your motives.
Speaker 9 (03:56):
I wasn't thinking of myself, miss Brooks.
Speaker 10 (03:59):
It's just that I've been looking at you while I'm
driving here out of the corner of my eye sort
of and well, you.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Walls a look out for that truck.
Speaker 9 (04:08):
Sorry, yes, I looked out at her on corner.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Anyway, I've noticed that you've changed a.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Little changed, Walter.
Speaker 10 (04:17):
Yeah, I remember when you first got to Madison High,
Miss Brooks. You were so vibrant, you were actually pulsating
with life and energy, and well, gosh, you always seem
to be sort of shimmering.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
And that's not all I come in six delicious flavors.
Speaker 9 (04:36):
They're not kidding, miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
You've got to watch your step.
Speaker 10 (04:39):
How long do you think the bloom of youth will
cling to your cheeks?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
It's all according to how you put it on, Walter.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
I hope you don't think I'm being too personal, Miss Brooks.
But as I look at you, I can't help thinking
of something.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
What's that?
Speaker 10 (04:54):
Did you ever drive out in the country and come
to an old, deserted pasture? Well, did you ever see
at the end of the pasture one lonely old horse
with sad brown eyes sharing over the fence rail.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
I knew I should have shampooed those fetlocks.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
I'm not comparing you to a horse, Miss Brutton.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I know, Walder, I'm not fast enough.
Speaker 10 (05:19):
Now. It's just the look the horse gets in his
eye when he's all worn out, as if to say,
I've done my work and now I'm old, Just an old, tired,
beat up, lonely horse with nothing to show for my
years of faithful service.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
It's his own fault. When he was young. He probably
made a man's.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Neck out of himself. I appreciate your interest in me, Walder,
but believe me, I'm not ready for the.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Glue factory yet.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
I hope you're not offended, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Of course I'm not, Walder.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
You know how I feel about you. Gosh, I think
you're a thoroughbred.
Speaker 13 (06:01):
Me.
Speaker 9 (06:01):
I just don't want you to get run down.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
I want Walter. I'm used to hard work. I've been
working since I was a young girl.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
Really, I didn't think they let girls work way back
in those days.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
That is, what kind of work did you do?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Then?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I helped my mother mostly. They had mothers in those
days too.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
Well, what did you do for your mother.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
While father was out hunting dinner? I used to help
clean up our cave.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
You'll sound a little sore, miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Oh, don't be silly, Walder. Why should I be sore?
Speaker 9 (06:35):
All the way I word things?
Speaker 10 (06:36):
Sometimes it's a little unfortunate, like the.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
Stuff about the horse and all I know you meant
it for my own.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Good, forget it, Walter, I have Well, here we are,
I'll find a place to part, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
You go ahead, thanks, Walter.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Oh before you go, yes, Miss Brooks, got a piece
of sugar.

Staddy, you're the principal of this school, and you've got
to do something about it.
Speaker 13 (08:39):
About what, Harriet, come off?
Speaker 14 (08:40):
What I've been talking about Miss Brook's over Workie. I
was talking to Walter Kenton and he told me that
missus Davis told him that miss.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
Brook is just killing herself.
Speaker 13 (08:48):
But Harry, now, one.
Speaker 14 (08:49):
Way to scare a woman into doing something, or not
doing something, for that matter, is to make her think
she's losing her looks. And another way is to get
her interested in doing something other than the thing you
wanted to stop doing.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 13 (09:00):
That isn't simple enough. What are you talking about, Harry.
Speaker 14 (09:05):
We've got to try and get miss Brooks interested in
something outside of schoolwork. Now, I'll talk to mister Boyan first,
then as soon as I find Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
I'll send her in here to talk to you. Agree.
Speaker 13 (09:15):
Absolutely not good.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
I knew you'd see it my way.
Speaker 13 (09:18):
Good.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
That's the end of the period, Boys and Girls class, dismiss,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Could I talk to you for a minute.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Certainly, Harriet, come on up to my desk.
Speaker 14 (09:37):
Miss Brooks, as one woman to another. I'd like the
privilege of being frank with you.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Go ahead, Harry.
Speaker 14 (09:47):
Well, you're working too hard, miss Brooks, and it's beginning.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
To show where.
Speaker 14 (09:54):
You're falling apart specifically or anything. It's just your attitude.
Since he's mid exams have to be written. You're almost
constantly preoccupied. You don't seem to have your old sparkle
and crackle.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Oh great, now I'm a bowl of cereal.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I know conditions in school are pretty awful nowadays. And well,
you've got a big load to pull.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Here we go again, here they ask, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
There's a look you get sometimes like it.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Oh, don't say it, Harry.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Oh, I wouldn't hurt your feelings for the world.
Speaker 14 (10:28):
Miss Brooks. There's nothing really radically wrong with you. It's
just that you're taking this exam too seriously. Why I
noticed you yesterday in the cafeteria with mister Boynton. It
just seemed to nibble at your food.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Oh, that's just to make mister Boyton feel at home.
He's very fond of rabbits, you know.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
And you should forget about work when you're at lunch today.
I want you to relax, sit down at that.
Speaker 14 (10:51):
Table and really tie the feedback on.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
I'll cut those fetlocks off, that's what I'll Oh.
Speaker 14 (11:01):
By the way, Miss Brooks, Daddy would like to see
you in his office, mister conquor.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
What does he want to see me about, Harriet?
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I'm sure I don't know.
Speaker 14 (11:08):
Maybe as principal of this school, he feels it's his
duty to keep his teachers happy.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
Of course, you've got to know how to handle daddy.
Speaker 14 (11:15):
What do you mean, Harry, Just take the bit in
your teeth and don't let him drive.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You too hard.
Speaker 15 (11:22):
Okay, Amen, Oh it's you, Miss Brooks, have a chair,
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (11:37):
I was just finishing this report from the school board.

morale of any unit in Camp Barbriick, Ohio. Now what
has all this to do with you? You asked a
reasonable question. What has all this to do with you?
Speaker 6 (13:08):
I really don't know, mister Conson.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Of course you.
Speaker 13 (13:11):
Now take the time we ran out of ping pong balls.
It was nobody's fault.

As supply officer in charge of the post exchange.

I had discharged my duties faith place. But still there
it was no ping pong ball. Were murmuring from the
men muttering and discontent.
Speaker 13 (13:33):
Swept through the recreation hall.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But I refused to be thrown into a panic. Do
you know what I did, Miss Brooks. I made those
men use their heads by finding another hobby. And that's
what I called you here to tell you, Miss Brooks,
you've got to find a hobby.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Oh but I have a hobby, mister Conson, Oh what

Did you ever think of getting a hobby?
Speaker 16 (15:18):
The cafeteria is pretty crouded to day, Miss Brooks. I
don't know how you manage to get this table.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Oh it wasn't hard, mister Boyton. I just told the
two students who were sitting here i'd flunk them if
they didn't leave.
Speaker 13 (15:28):
How are you working? Do that? Miss Brooks?
Speaker 17 (15:30):

It's fun to shove the little tray along the little railing.
Gives me a feeling of power.
Speaker 11 (15:41):
No, no, I'd rather you sit here and take it easy.
Speaker 16 (15:44):
I've noticed how hard you've been working, Miss Brooks, And
now did I see you? There's something in your eyes
lately that well I can't be specific, but they just
seem to say, all these.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Years of faithful service, and what have I got to
show for exactly.
Speaker 16 (16:00):
Oh, you've got to get your exam questions set. But
the race isn't always to the swift. You've been whipping
yourself terribly.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Oh fine, you know I'm my own jockey.
Speaker 16 (16:09):
Yes, I just want you to know, Miss Brooks, that
if there's anything troubling you, anything at all, i'd be
happy to have you cry on my shoulder.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I'd rather laugh up your sleeves. Oh look, mister Boynan,
it's nice of you to be so concerned, but there's
nothing wrong with me.
Speaker 16 (16:28):
You're right, There isn't a thing wrong with you that
a good hobby won't cure.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Yes, I know, and I've thought of a wonderful hobby.

the Roman Empire.

Speaker 16 (18:39):
Well, I'm not very good at it, but it's wonderful relaxation.

Missus Davis, so I've got to get to work with

Speaker 10 (19:13):
I've got the yarn right here in two sets of
extra large needles. Just look at them.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
My seconds will call on you at dawn. What in
the world are those spoils for?
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Missus Davis.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
I'm going to teach you to knit with this equipment.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
It won't be any time at all before you have
yourself a nice as Dan.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
I don't want myself a nice ass Dan. Give me
an American boy every time.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
He's just wonderful to the nerves.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Connie, just get right here and help me roll this
gin into a ball.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
But missus Davis, I do it for you. Connie, all right,
what do I do first?
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Just hold your hands about six inches apart. That's the girls.
Now I'll start winding around and.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
Around and around and around and a and around and
around and around and.
Speaker 14 (20:02):
Around and around and around and around and around.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
What's the matter, Connie, Nothing? I just wanted to break
the monotony.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
Not tell the truth collage. Isn't this fun?
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Yes, indeed, this is more fun than drawing your fingernail
over a slate.
Speaker 10 (20:22):
Now that we've got a ball, I'll show you how
to cast on. What did you say, dear, Oh it's
the cat.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Go away, Minerva. We're busy.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
Maybe she wants a milk no, she just had her lunch.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
I made it for myself.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Maybe she wants to bicarboners.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
The all the feast thing we do is catch the
yarn onto one needle, so like this and like this. Yeah, now,
don't don't bind the yard.
Speaker 9 (20:56):

Speaker 5 (20:57):
Now, yes, Minerva, be a good girl, and I'll boostre
up to the goldfish.

Speaker 8 (21:09):
If you can catch on to it in no time.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Connie or I really must get some work done. If
you'll excuse me, I'd like to go into the dining room.
I can spread my reference books out on the table there.
Speaker 10 (21:19):
Very well, Connie, we'll do some more on knitting. But
the dining room. Oh, I knew there was something I forgot.
You better get in there right away, Connie. You've got company.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
That's what I like. Prompt messages.
Speaker 11 (21:33):
Well, Hello, I guess I beat you home, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
I guess you did, mister, so did I, Miss Brooks. Harriet?
Did you two come over together? Yes? We did? Oh
Thrank drove them all.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Listen Walter too, well, now that we're all here, suppose
we all keep nice and quiet while I.

Oh you can work later, miss Brooks. Here, I've got
the board all set up. Let me show you how
to play chess.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Go ahead, miss Brooks.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
I'll start sorting my stamps and looking for price specimens
to show you, and.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
I'll get a crosswords puzzle start so it won't be
too difficult.
Speaker 16 (22:02):
Ostro here. These little ones here are points. They move
one or two spaces full.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
I know the moves of the pieces, mister Bryton, but honestly.
Speaker 16 (22:10):
I just played one game. It's Brooks. I'll go first there. Now,
don't rush yourself. Chess is a very patient, easy going game.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
Have you got a clean handkerchief, Miss Brooks? I have
to clean my magnifying glass.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Fine, Oh the game. I'll just go here.

Oh, here's a funny coincidence, Miss Brooks. I need a
six letter word for hobby.

toys to be fixed for Christmas.

I do this work every year, and I help missus
Conkland with my portable carpenter set.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
May I set my vice up over here?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Oh yes, mister Conklin, of course, I'm gonna do these
toys out on the table by mare that we are.
Speaker 11 (23:54):
That's not a legal move, miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Well, I was just oh the chess game. I'm sorry, mister.
I'll take it back. I'll move my knight instead.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
There.
Speaker 13 (24:04):
Ah, this will do your world of good, Miss Brooks.
Give her a broken toy to fix up, Matha. I
think you'd like to stuff a few dolls, Miss.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Brooks, I just love to stuff a few dolls, mister
complin before.

You, flatness Brooks, take this glass and look at this
early cameroon.

Thank you.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
All was good. It was nice to have you over.
Speaker 13 (26:09):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
The main thing, of course, is that we were able
to interest Miss Brooks in something they could from Miss Brookes.
Speaker 13 (26:16):
Miss Brooks, here isn't here?
Speaker 6 (26:19):
What's funny? Work'd she be?

Speaker 5 (28:07):
I didn't get many questions done, but I did see
Rita Hayworth in Loves of Carmen. I knew, of course,
that with the examination question still to be done, I'd
have to cancel my date with mister Boyton.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
But that was almost inevitable from the beginning.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
When I finally reached home, I knew I'd have to
buckle down, so I headed right to the dining room,
opened the door and turned on the light.
Speaker 11 (28:30):
Of course, you can move the night too horizontal.

Our.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Miss Brooks teaches English at Madison High and though she's
fond of her work and her pupils, these last few
days have been rather hectic.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In fact, she's even had to neglect her favorite faculty member,
biology teacher Philip Boynton.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
And when I have to neglect mister Boynton, you can
be sure things are hectic.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
Of course, like most.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Scientific men, he's rather preoccupied, but he doesn't spend all
his time looking at frogs and white mice in his laboratory.
Speaker 7 (00:49):
No.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Indeed, every Friday he goes to the zoo and looks
at frog But in spite of his apparent absorption in
scientific matters, I can't help feeling that deep down underneath,
there's a definite lack of interest in me.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
But I keep trying. Now, take this past week, for example,
I had to get the mid.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Term examinations ready, but I wanted desperately to get my
work done by Thursday afternoon so I could keep a
date we had for that evening. But maybe i'd better
start at the beginning Thursday morning, my landlady, missus Davis
woke me promptly at seven point thirty.
Speaker 8 (01:25):
Oh, conn, it's seven. Help come on in, Missus Davis.
Speaker 9 (01:30):
Time to rise and shine, my dear.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I may rise, but you'll have to get your own shine.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
I'm glad you got me up on time.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Now, maybe I can make up a few questions before
my first class.
Speaker 10 (01:43):
I don't think you should do anything before you finish
your work at school. You've been going at this mid
term examination to hide, Connie. I don't like to scale you,
but I'm worried about your health.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
It's sweet of you to take such an interest in me,
Missus Davis, but work doesn't bother me.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
I'm healthy as a horse.
Speaker 9 (01:58):
Well, just the same.
Speaker 10 (01:59):
Over work isn't good for anyone, even a horse. You
wouldn't want to get You wouldn't want to get gray
around the nine, would you?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Oh? Heaven for Finn.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
But I figured I'll be all right if I keep
my fetlocked shampooed regularly, luster cream shampooed.
Speaker 9 (02:18):
That is, you've got to build yourself up. Cannie.
Speaker 10 (02:22):
Here, I've brought you some juice to drink before breakfast.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
Taste it and kill me.
Speaker 9 (02:26):
What you think it's made of?
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I should know better, but here goes ooh ooh, that's
stronger than usual.
Speaker 11 (02:34):
What's in it?
Speaker 12 (02:35):
Cannie?
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Well, I would say you.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Took a raw potato, one hard boiled egg, some rye crisp,
a cup of kidney beans, and some spinach and threw
them into the mix master.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
You're slipping deer.
Speaker 10 (02:46):
You forgot the harmony, gripe.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Well, I think I'll skip the juice this morning, Missus Davis.
I've got to hurry. Walter Denton's picking me up in
his car.
Speaker 9 (02:56):
Oh, he's yours in the shop again.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Oh, definitely, But the repair job this time won't cost
me as much as the fine I had to pay
twenty dollars for parking twenty dollars.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
Where in the world did you park the lobby.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Of the Stevens Hotel?
Speaker 9 (03:12):
But how did you ever get in there?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Just like anybody else through the revolving door.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Glad you picked me up early, Walter, I've got some
work to get done before my first class.
Speaker 10 (03:32):
Oh that's all right, miss Brooks. Glad to be of service.
But did you say you've got work to do before
your first class?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yes, Walter, I'm preparing questions for your midterm exams. It's
rather difficult getting the right ones.
Speaker 10 (03:44):
Well, if I may make a suggestion, why don't you
forget about the difficult questions and think up the simple
ones that would make it easier on you, wouldn't it?
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Yes, But frankly I questioned your motives.
Speaker 9 (03:56):
I wasn't thinking of myself, miss Brooks.
Speaker 10 (03:59):
It's just that I've been looking at you while I'm
driving here out of the corner of my eye sort
of and well, you.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Walls a look out for that truck.
Speaker 9 (04:08):
Sorry, yes, I looked out at her on corner.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Anyway, I've noticed that you've changed a.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Little changed, Walter.
Speaker 10 (04:17):
Yeah, I remember when you first got to Madison High,
Miss Brooks. You were so vibrant, you were actually pulsating
with life and energy, and well, gosh, you always seem
to be sort of shimmering.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
And that's not all I come in six delicious flavors.
Speaker 9 (04:36):
They're not kidding, miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
You've got to watch your step.
Speaker 10 (04:39):
How long do you think the bloom of youth will
cling to your cheeks?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
It's all according to how you put it on, Walter.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
I hope you don't think I'm being too personal, Miss Brooks.
But as I look at you, I can't help thinking
of something.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
What's that?
Speaker 10 (04:54):
Did you ever drive out in the country and come
to an old, deserted pasture? Well, did you ever see
at the end of the pasture one lonely old horse
with sad brown eyes sharing over the fence rail.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
I knew I should have shampooed those fetlocks.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
I'm not comparing you to a horse, Miss Brutton.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I know, Walder, I'm not fast enough.
Speaker 10 (05:19):
Now. It's just the look the horse gets in his
eye when he's all worn out, as if to say,
I've done my work and now I'm old, Just an old, tired,
beat up, lonely horse with nothing to show for my
years of faithful service.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
It's his own fault. When he was young. He probably
made a man's.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Neck out of himself. I appreciate your interest in me, Walder,
but believe me, I'm not ready for the.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Glue factory yet.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
I hope you're not offended, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Of course I'm not, Walder.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
You know how I feel about you. Gosh, I think
you're a thoroughbred.
Speaker 13 (06:01):
Me.
Speaker 9 (06:01):
I just don't want you to get run down.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
I want Walter. I'm used to hard work. I've been
working since I was a young girl.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
Really, I didn't think they let girls work way back
in those days.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
That is, what kind of work did you do?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Then?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I helped my mother mostly. They had mothers in those
days too.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
Well, what did you do for your mother.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
While father was out hunting dinner? I used to help
clean up our cave.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
You'll sound a little sore, miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Oh, don't be silly, Walder. Why should I be sore?
Speaker 9 (06:35):
All the way I word things?
Speaker 10 (06:36):
Sometimes it's a little unfortunate, like the.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
Stuff about the horse and all I know you meant
it for my own.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Good, forget it, Walter, I have Well, here we are,
I'll find a place to part, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
You go ahead, thanks, Walter.

Way to scare a woman into doing something, or not
doing something, for that matter, is to make her think
she's losing her looks. And another way is to get
her interested in doing something other than the thing you
wanted to stop doing.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 13 (09:00):
That isn't simple enough. What are you talking about, Harry.
Speaker 14 (09:05):
We've got to try and get miss Brooks interested in
something outside of schoolwork. Now, I'll talk to mister Boyan first,
then as soon as I find Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
I'll send her in here to talk to you. Agree.
Speaker 13 (09:15):
Absolutely not good.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
I knew you'd see it my way.
Speaker 13 (09:18):
Good.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
That's the end of the period, Boys and Girls class, dismiss,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Could I talk to you for a minute.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Certainly, Harriet, come on up to my desk.
Speaker 14 (09:37):
Miss Brooks, as one woman to another. I'd like the
privilege of being frank with you.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Go ahead, Harry.
Speaker 14 (09:47):
Well, you're working too hard, miss Brooks, and it's beginning.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
To show where.
Speaker 14 (09:54):
You're falling apart specifically or anything. It's just your attitude.
Since he's mid exams have to be written. You're almost
constantly preoccupied. You don't seem to have your old sparkle
and crackle.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Oh great, now I'm a bowl of cereal.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I know conditions in school are pretty awful nowadays. And well,
you've got a big load to pull.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Here we go again, here they ask, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
There's a look you get sometimes like it.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Oh, don't say it, Harry.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Oh, I wouldn't hurt your feelings for the world.
Speaker 14 (10:28):
Miss Brooks. There's nothing really radically wrong with you. It's
just that you're taking this exam too seriously. Why I
noticed you yesterday in the cafeteria with mister Boynton. It
just seemed to nibble at your food.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Oh, that's just to make mister Boyton feel at home.
He's very fond of rabbits, you know.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
And you should forget about work when you're at lunch today.
I want you to relax, sit down at that.
Speaker 14 (10:51):
Table and really tie the feedback on.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
I'll cut those fetlocks off, that's what I'll Oh.
Speaker 14 (11:01):
By the way, Miss Brooks, Daddy would like to see
you in his office, mister conquor.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
What does he want to see me about, Harriet?
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I'm sure I don't know.
Speaker 14 (11:08):
Maybe as principal of this school, he feels it's his
duty to keep his teachers happy.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
Of course, you've got to know how to handle daddy.
Speaker 14 (11:15):
What do you mean, Harry, Just take the bit in
your teeth and don't let him drive.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You too hard.
Speaker 15 (11:22):
Okay, Amen, Oh it's you, Miss Brooks, have a chair,
Thank you.

The cafeteria is pretty crouded to day, Miss Brooks. I
don't know how you manage to get this table.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Oh it wasn't hard, mister Boyton. I just told the
two students who were sitting here i'd flunk them if

It's fun to shove the little tray along the little railing.
Gives me a feeling of power.
Speaker 11 (15:41):
No, no, I'd rather you sit here and take it easy.
Speaker 16 (15:44):
I've noticed how hard you've been working, Miss Brooks, And
now did I see you? There's something in your eyes
lately that well I can't be specific, but they just
seem to say, all these.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Years of faithful service, and what have I got to
show for exactly.
Speaker 16 (16:00):
Oh, you've got to get your exam questions set. But
the race isn't always to the swift. You've been whipping
yourself terribly.

Oh fine, you know I'm my own jockey.
Speaker 16 (16:09):
Yes, I just want you to know, Miss Brooks, that
if there's anything troubling you, anything at all, i'd be
happy to have you cry on my shoulder.

it's nice of you to be so concerned, but there's
nothing wrong with me.
Speaker 16 (16:28):
You're right, There isn't a thing wrong with you that
a good hobby won't cure.
