Speaker 1 (00:01):
Armist Brooks Darring Eve Arden I once Again or another
comedy episode of Armis Brooks written by al lewis Well.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Many of us find.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It extremely difficult to get up early every morning, but
Armis Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, has
been doing it for years.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, and I've learned one thing about early rising that's
helped me immeasurably. Once I jump out of bed, close
the window, and do my setting up exercises, There's only
one more thing I want to do, and that's to
get right back in bed again. Last Friday morning, though
I was up and almost dressed by the time my
landlady knocked on the door. I'm to set up, Kenney,
(00:45):
I am up, Missus Davis, come on in. I'm trying
to get to school early so I can chat with
mister Boynton for a few minutes before our first class.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Give mister Boynton's steel as unapproachable as ever, Courney.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I guess so, Missus Davis. But you know something, during
this past week, I've gotten closer to him than ever before.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Really, Dear, how did you do that?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I've been wearing my sneakers to school. I hope I've
got time for breakfast before Walter Danton comes to pick
me up and something he wants to talk to me
about before school starts.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well, he can talk to you at breakfast.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Connie, mikedness.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You've got to keep your strengths up some way. We
both know you don't get enough sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh, I didn't last night. Minerva slept in here with
me and she was very restless.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I don't know what's the matter with that cat lately,
between you and me, Connie. I think she's got something.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Between you and me. I think she's got several.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Maybe it's a mistake to let her get so friendly
with the collie next door. They play together all the time,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh, so that's the source. M Minerva had me up
pass the night with her pounding.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That's just your tail beating on the floor while she's hunting.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't mind her tail pumping, but every time she
catches something with one paw, she applauds with the other three.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Suppose we joined the nervy in the breakfast milk. I've
just given her some milk.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Fine, I'll have a saucerful too.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Say ride down here, I'll boiled you a couple of eggs,
and just.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
One egg will be plenty, Missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well, I oh, Walgi, that must be Walter Danton.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
No, just six eggs will be planning, Missus Davis. The
door is block.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Come in, Walter.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Huh hi am Missus Brooks, Missus Davis, come on, Walter,
how do you want your eggs?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Walter?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Quickly?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Please breakfast yet?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Sure, but it's seven point thirty almost and we eat
and affle early breakfast.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
At my place powerly quarter to seven.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't know how you're still standing up.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I'll pick up anomalis for all of it.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Miss Brooks. I'd like to ask you about something.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
What's that, Walter? Well?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
As you know, Halloween is usually celebrated Tomorrow night, Saturday,
but Hart Conklin's going up to her folks bungalow at
Crystal Lake for the weekend. So we wondered if it
would be all right with you if we celebrated the
holiday tonight, or.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Why come to me? Shouldn't you contact the Goblins union.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
We wanted to.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Sort of have a little party, you know, Harriet might
pal stretched not grass and Eye, and we were planning
on inviting you too.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Where were you planning on holding this party, Walder at
your place. How nice of you to invite me along,
But I'm afraid we couldn't have any Halloween parties here Walter.
After all, I don't own this cottage. I just ran
a room from missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Oh, we've already got her permission. She's going to the
movies tonight, Harriet asked her on the phone yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It's just up to you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, I'm afraid I'm not interested in Halloween parties. Wald
I've got quite a bit of work to catch up on,
and tonight looks like an ideal time to do it. Sorry,
but you'll have to hold your party someplace.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Out Jenus Brooks, Harriet and Stretch will be awfully just
disappointed and sold.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Mister Boynton.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Mister Barton, Yeah, I was talking to him yesterday and
he was saying, what' swell fun? He always thought Halloween
was when he was a kid. And then we invited
him to the party too, and he accepted.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And now there's no place to have the party.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
That's wrong with having the party right here?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Hello Principals Office osgood Conland himself.

appointment this morning.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He said he wanted to see you before we go
to Crystal Lake tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
I am well aware of that fact.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I've had plenty of time to think about it during
the sleepless hours I spent listening to your dog thumping
his tail at the foot of our bed all night.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
But Prince was so.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Lope to dear.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
After all, we've got each other, he's all alone.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, he wasn't alone last night. I never heard such
scratching in all my born days.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Once he got anyway, pretty cat possibly have anything, dear.
You know he doesn't play with other dogs. In fact,
he would have died of loneliness that week if I
hadn't taken him over to Missus Davis to play with
her cat's minerva.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Well, you've got to keep him away from me. My
blood pressure is higher than it's been in years. To
make my morning complete, when I bent down to tie
my shoelaces. My glasses fell out.
Speaker 2 (05:52):

Speaker 1 (05:54):

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Later than I thought, I'd better hurry.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So you see, Walter, we all meet in the cafeteria
at lunchtime. We can make the plans for all.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Good missus Brooks, I presume.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I'm terribly sorry, mister content. I didn't see you coming.
Oh dear, I seem to have broken your glasses. Do
you have another pair?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
No, Miss Brooks, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
But perhaps I could get you a long stick and
let you smash the windows in my office.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Do you need he in quite a hurry, mister Conklin,
could I maybe take you somewhere?
Speaker 5 (07:05):

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Mister conklin brains done.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Good?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Right, mister Conklin's you're in a bad mood today. He
looks pretty purple, doesn't he?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Even for him? He certainly is excitable.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Hi Walder, Oh hello, Miss Brooky.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh Harriet? Did you run to Daddy this morning? It's
in the hands of the insurance company now.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
His temper's pretty miserable today.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Poor Daddy's been depressed all week long.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
I don't know what he is.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
We all try to please him.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
What he needs is some recreation and diversion.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Say I have an what is it, miss Brooks?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, instead of my place tonight, why don't we have
our Halloween party at your house, Harriet? That way we
could surprise your father and cheer him up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Wonderful, Miss Hooks, you've done it again.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Anxious as I was to get back into mister Conkland's
good graces, I determined to make the Halloween party Friday
night a roaring success. I had asked the kids to
meet me in the school cafeteria at lunchtime, and the
first one to show up was Madison's star athlete, Stretched
nod Grass. Although a whiz on the football field, stretches
outstanding scholastic achievement occurred during a test last week when
(08:48):
he felled his name correctly.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
I was having a.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Cup of coffee when he approached my table.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So here I am, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Mind if I said, aren't not.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
At all stretch, But wouldn't you like to bring some
food over before we discuss the party?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, oh, ma'am I already yet, Please stretch, I've already.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Eaten all good so we can get right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Down to business. Waller said he thought we all had
to masquerade or something tonight.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's a fine idea, Stretch. You could come as a student.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I got my off at all set in, Miss Brooks.
I got some chaps home and spurs and and two
six shooters that shoot real blanks. I'm coming as hop
along Cassidy. That is, if nobody minds.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Why should anybody mind? Unless Roy Rogers shows up?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
What are you gonna masquerade as?
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh? I haven't made up my mind yet, stretch. Of course,
every good Halloween party should have a witch. Yes, I
might come as a witch.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Perfect young.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Time's so enthusiastic, pretty sharp notice to get a costume made.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I may not I go to all that trouble.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Why don't you just well what you got on?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Big as he is, I'll have to slug him.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I stretched, I am, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Stretch.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Well, things are sure shaping up.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Look at these twall noise makers.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I bought this morning.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Wanted to find time to get all this junk water.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
I sneak out of one of my morning classes. Walter,
you didn't, well it was important, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Besides, there's no harm done. Nobody even noticed I was gone.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's what I like, a nice observant teacher.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh, it wasn't the teacher's fault.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You were facing the blackboard at the time. Look at
this horn, it's got a siren in the mouth piece.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Listen, geez, Walter, you're in the cafeteria. So what one
more blast like that? The beef stew will pull over
to the right.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Tell me, how are you going to the masquerade?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I got a terrific idea, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I'm just gonna put on an old sheet, do you think,
mister Conklin will get a kick out of me as
a ghost.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
If you thought it was on the level, would add
ten years to his life. What are you coming in, Strut,
I haven't quite decided yet, any suggestion?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Who just won?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I don't want you to think I'm being fresh or anything,
but well, this is gonna be a Halloween party, and
oh I'd be glad to furnish you with a broom.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I guess I'm a natural for us.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
What's coming over?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Oh it's mister Boyton.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Hello, mister Boyton.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Hello Walter, Hello, mister Boyton.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Hello, Stretch, Hello, Miss Brooks, Hello mister Barton.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Goodbye Walter, goodbye Stretch.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
You're going nowhere?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Stretch, don't you know the old expressions? Two's company, Three's
a crowd?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Sure I do, but there's four of us. Street.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
You gotta help Harry. You figure out a costume for tonight?
Speaker 9 (11:52):
See your later call Yeah later her So long boys, hell,
Mis Brooks. I think it's a splendid idea you're giving
this little surprise party probably principle tonight.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
It should do him a world of good.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It should do us the world too, if he brightens
up a bit. What kind of an out did do
you think you're aware of, mister Boydan.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
Well, I've got a skeleton costume home that I used
to have quite a bit of fun with in my
college days. It's just a black, tight fitting garment with
a bunch of bones hanging on it.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Bone.
Speaker 9 (12:20):
Yes, the treated with a phosphorescent paint that makes them glow.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
In the dark. It's quite a startling effect.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
The more so since I gathered the bones when I
was an anatomy student.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
From anyone I know.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
I don't mean to dwell on it, miss Brooks, but
I find bones are rather fascinating subject, don't you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That depends on what they're wrapped up in.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
How are you masquerading tonight?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Oh, I don't know you're coming as a skeleton. Maybe
I'll come as a bottle of item. And I'm really
a little sum mister Boynton. What do you think I
should be?
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Well?
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Well, the two most popular figures associated with Halloween are
a black cat, a witch, and.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I'm much too tall for a cab. Walter, Oh, Walter,
get a loop job on that broom boy. Constance Brooks
rides tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I'm glad we're going away in the morning, Martha. Doctor
Benson told me I'm very close to the breaking point.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Yes, of course I don't shop.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So he said that some of my trouble was caused
by my blood pressure, but that part of it was
due to an overactive imagination. Wants me to become relax more.
I'd like to see him relax With that recurring dream
I've had.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Do you mean the one where the ghost visits you
at night?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, Only the last couple of times it's gotten worse.
Instead of a plain ghost, I've been getting one with
Walter Denton's head on.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
It.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Really are good. I just don't know what you got
against that poor boy.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Harriet's very fond of him.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Then he should see a doctor too. Where is she, Martha.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
She's in her room, dear, getting dressed. She said something
about a party tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Parties all kids nowadays think about.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
There won't be any parties at Crystal Lake.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
There won't be any nightmares either, White Martha, do you
realize that while I was sitting in the doctor's office today,
I saw a bulldog by his desk, A bulldog. It
was the shadow of his umbrella stand. But I almost
jumped out of my skin before he explained it.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Things like that happen to people every day, are good?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Not to me?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
They don't, at least they'd better not.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
How do you think the Board of Education.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Would like it if they thought one of their principals
went round seeing bulldogs?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Just don't mention it to anyone, Darling. Now I'm going
to get you a glass of warm milk, and you
stay right company in your chair till I get that
you very well.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
That thing looked like a bulldog. Martha's right, though, I'd
better not mention it to us.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Sol.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
How in the world can that be coming?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Good evening?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Mister Conklin? May I come in?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
There's no tactical way I can refuse you admission.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Come in, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Have the others arrived yet?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Others?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
What others you'll see when they get here? Is Harriet
at home? Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yes, she's putting on her party dress.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Oh, then you know about it. It should do you
a lot of good, mister Conklin. There's nothing like a
house full of people to get your mind off yourself.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
A house full of her, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Is this party to be given in this house?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Of course?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
I see, And if you'll.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Excuse me, I'll just take my hat and coat and
beat an orderly retreat. But Conton, my doctor has forbidden
any excitement whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You're a doctor. This is a fine time to tell me.
I mean, I didn't know you were in such bad shape,
mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I am on the verge of a nervous collapse, Miss Brooks.
I don't want to spoil everybody's fun. I'll just leave,
quietly leave.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Put mister Counton where you go.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
What's the difference where I go.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I'll just wander around the park like a homeless gypsy.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
You can't do that. You wouldn't look good in earrings.
You're not a well man, mister Conklin. Look, missus Davis
is going to the movies tonight. Now, why don't you
let me drive you over to our place until I
can eliminate the horde of pets A guests who are
coming here. You'll love it over there, mister Conton. You'll
be able to relax completely if it.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Will stave off my breakdown, Miss Brooks, It's the least
I can do for my family.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Miss Brooks left right after dinner. Mister Boynton, I guess
you forgot to buy a few items to the party site.
I'm sure she'll be right there.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Well, that's way our surprise will work out even better surprise.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yes, ma'am, we thought we'd try out some of our
Halloween tricks on miss Brooks before we go over to
mister Cochlin's house.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
That's a wonderful idea. I hope I didn't scarry in
my ghosts out it?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No, I thought you were the laundryman.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
How do you like my costume, Missus Davis?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Nice? You've lost weight.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Haven't you?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
This is a skeleton suit in honor of Halloween.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Isn't that terrifying?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And who's this cowboy with you?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I'm hop along, cassidy, Missus Davis, but I'm really.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Stretched, not grass I'd never have known. Well, if you'll
all go into the house, I'm sure Miss Brooks will
be lighted to see you. I've got to get down
to the theater.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Now, what movie are you seeing tonight? Missus Davis?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Jipson sings again again again again I saw it last week?
Also a nice time killing.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
What should I do with this pucket of water?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
We're ducking forraffles and waller?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Oh and just put it down at the piano stretch. Now,
I'll tell you what we'll do before miss Brooks comes back.
Let's all hide somewhere so we can really surprise her.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
Good idea water, Why don't you get behind that couch stretch.
You hide behind the kitchen door, and I'll get into
the hall closet.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Great, and we're all coming out when I blow this whistle.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's okay, got your water. Hey, look out the window.
Miss Brooks is coming up the walk and she's got
mister Conklin with her.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
Mister Concklan or she probably wanted to get him out
of the way while we were getting things ready at
his place, so much the better.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Still surprised well of them at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Now, first, I'll put the lights out quick. Let's get
out of sight. Well, here we are, mister Conklin. I
guess missus Davis is left for the movies. The lights are.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
All out, but it does seem quite deserted in here.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I'll turn on this hall light so you can see
to hang your things up in the closet. I'll turn
some lights down in the living room while you'll put
your hat and coat away.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Thank you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
What Boks?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
What is it? Mister?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
What's the trouble?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
In the hall.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
What do you keep in there?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Chuck my coat?
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Mister conflict, I see I see? Tell me, missus Brooks.
Is it a long black coat with luminous bones?
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Hum?
Speaker 7 (19:57):
And this bos?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh no, please wait right here, mister Conklin. I'll investigates me.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Miss Brooks. You should have seen mister Concklin's face when.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You behind those other coats. Immediately, mister Banton. I can't
explain now, but don't you dare come out of there
until you get a signal.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Well, miss Brooks, what did you see?
Speaker 6 (20:20):
See?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I didn't see anything, mister Conston. Must have been your imagination.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
My imagination. Then the doctor was right. I'd rather not
talk about it, miss Brooks. If I could just lie
down somewhere, of.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Course, mister Conklin, just stretch out on this couch. I'll
go get another Coatson.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Are you all right? Uh? I must be quite a
sick man. If I were sick, I wouldn't be moaning
(21:11):
like this. On the other hand, it's better than what
am I saying. Why not the water's moaning.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I've returned.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I've come back.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Who's there? Where are you? Look behind you?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Behind the cow.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That coppen Are you all right, what happened, Ms Brooks?
Speaker 7 (21:55):
How long have I been asleep?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Asleep?
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Eh?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You just hit the cow Minton, which reminds me maybe
you'd better see a good psychiatrist. This screaming of yours
can lead to something dangerous.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Just just do me a favor of Miss Brooks. Look
behind that couch.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Certainly, sir. It didn't make you feel any better, but
I assure you there's absolutely nothing behind this cow. I'm
sorry if I startled you, mister Conklin, but my cat
Minerva's back here with a sheet. She was making her bed.
(22:38):
Stay out of sight, Minerva.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
There's a good her, good.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Boy, if you don't mind, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'd like to take a couple of pills, and my
doctor prescribed there have.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Some water, certainly, sir. If you've got an extra pill
or two, I'll be happy to join you. Just sit
right here, Miss Conklin. I'll go into the kitchen and
get some water. Now, on second thought, you'd better come
with me. I don't want you to get nervous again.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
I think you're right, Miss Brooks. Doesn't do for me
to be alone lately.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Now where is that light switch?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Well?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Dog bike catch it?
Speaker 7 (23:12):
But it ain't round up times.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
What was that?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Brooks?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Do you mean to tell me I've actually taken leave
of my senses?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Isn't the real leave? Mister conference, You're just on the
weekend past. A lot of the people get temporary hallucinae.
Maybe we'd better go back to your house.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yes, yes, at a time like this, I suppose I should.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Be near my loved one.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Her Halloween.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Mister Conlin. What gets me?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Then?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
When did you?
Speaker 9 (24:16):
How did you?
Speaker 7 (24:18):
What's this?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It struck my coat? Coming over? Get back?
Speaker 5 (24:23):
It's me, mister Cocklan. I'm a skeleton.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
See look at me, mister Conklin. I'm hop along Cassidy
and I'll plug the first armbree that makes the moves.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Not grass, I'll.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Stop.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
I must control myself.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
What's wrong, mister Cochlan. You don't seem to be enjoying yourself.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, it's all jumping and funny.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Gosh, Miss Brooks went to a lot of trouble to
get this thing organized.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Oh, Miss Brooks organized, But.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
That she sure she planned the whole thing. She deserves
every bit of credit. Well, she's certainly going to get it,
Miss Brooks. I wanted to Miss Brooks, Miss Brooks. Get
your head out of that bucket. This is no time
to be ducking for apples.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Who's ducking for apples? I'm trying to drown myself.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And now once again here is our Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, mister Conklin was so glad to find out that
the things he thought had been happening to him had
been happening to him that he excused us all and
hurried home. Shortly afterwards, I excused Walter in stretch, which
left just mister Boydon the parlor sofa and me.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Here we are, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
You know with that lamplight shining on your hair, you're
absolutely won.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yes, mister boyd you you what's that?
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Look at the window. It's Missus Davis with a pumpkinhead.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Just what I needed.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Happy Harreen tonniely tweet.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I've got a trick, Missus Davis. Here's sixty cent. Treat
yourself to josen things again again again.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Be sure have.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Listened to mister and missus North Tuesday evening over most
of these same stations, and be with us again next
week at the same time or another comedy episode of
our Miss Brooks. Bob leucon speaking, This is cbf BE
fond me a Broadcasting PIST
Armist Brooks Darring Eve Arden I once Again or another
comedy episode of Armis Brooks written by al lewis Well.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Many of us find.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It extremely difficult to get up early every morning, but
Armis Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, has
been doing it for years.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, and I've learned one thing about early rising that's
helped me immeasurably. Once I jump out of bed, close
the window, and do my setting up exercises, There's only
one more thing I want to do, and that's to
get right back in bed again. Last Friday morning, though
I was up and almost dressed by the time my
landlady knocked on the door. I'm to set up, Kenney,
(00:45):
I am up, Missus Davis, come on in. I'm trying
to get to school early so I can chat with
mister Boynton for a few minutes before our first class.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Give mister Boynton's steel as unapproachable as ever, Courney.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I guess so, Missus Davis. But you know something, during
this past week, I've gotten closer to him than ever before.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Really, Dear, how did you do that?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I've been wearing my sneakers to school. I hope I've
got time for breakfast before Walter Danton comes to pick
me up and something he wants to talk to me
about before school starts.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well, he can talk to you at breakfast.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Connie, mikedness.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You've got to keep your strengths up some way. We
both know you don't get enough sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh, I didn't last night. Minerva slept in here with
me and she was very restless.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I don't know what's the matter with that cat lately,
between you and me, Connie. I think she's got something.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Between you and me. I think she's got several.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Maybe it's a mistake to let her get so friendly
with the collie next door. They play together all the time,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh, so that's the source. M Minerva had me up
pass the night with her pounding.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That's just your tail beating on the floor while she's hunting.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't mind her tail pumping, but every time she
catches something with one paw, she applauds with the other three.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Suppose we joined the nervy in the breakfast milk. I've
just given her some milk.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Fine, I'll have a saucerful too.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Say ride down here, I'll boiled you a couple of eggs,
and just.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
One egg will be plenty, Missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well, I oh, Walgi, that must be Walter Danton.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
No, just six eggs will be planning, Missus Davis. The
door is block.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Come in, Walter.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Huh hi am Missus Brooks, Missus Davis, come on, Walter,
how do you want your eggs?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Walter?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Quickly?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Please breakfast yet?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:38):

and affle early breakfast.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
At my place powerly quarter to seven.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't know how you're still standing up.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I'll pick up anomalis for all of it.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Miss Brooks. I'd like to ask you about something.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
What's that, Walter? Well?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
As you know, Halloween is usually celebrated Tomorrow night, Saturday,
but Hart Conklin's going up to her folks bungalow at
Crystal Lake for the weekend. So we wondered if it
would be all right with you if we celebrated the
holiday tonight, or.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Why come to me? Shouldn't you contact the Goblins union.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
We wanted to.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Sort of have a little party, you know, Harriet might
pal stretched not grass and Eye, and we were planning
on inviting you too.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Where were you planning on holding this party, Walder at
your place. How nice of you to invite me along,
But I'm afraid we couldn't have any Halloween parties here Walter.
After all, I don't own this cottage. I just ran
a room from missus Davis.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Oh, we've already got her permission. She's going to the
movies tonight, Harriet asked her on the phone yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It's just up to you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, I'm afraid I'm not interested in Halloween parties. Wald
I've got quite a bit of work to catch up on,
and tonight looks like an ideal time to do it. Sorry,
but you'll have to hold your party someplace.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Out Jenus Brooks, Harriet and Stretch will be awfully just
disappointed and sold.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Mister Boynton.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Mister Barton, Yeah, I was talking to him yesterday and
he was saying, what' swell fun? He always thought Halloween
was when he was a kid. And then we invited
him to the party too, and he accepted.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And now there's no place to have the party.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
That's wrong with having the party right here?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Hello Principals Office osgood Conland himself.

He said he wanted to see you before we go
to Crystal Lake tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
I am well aware of that fact.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I've had plenty of time to think about it during
the sleepless hours I spent listening to your dog thumping
his tail at the foot of our bed all night.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
But Prince was so.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Lope to dear.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
After all, we've got each other, he's all alone.

Well, he wasn't alone last night. I never heard such
scratching in all my born days.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Once he got anyway, pretty cat possibly have anything, dear.
You know he doesn't play with other dogs. In fact,
he would have died of loneliness that week if I
hadn't taken him over to Missus Davis to play with
her cat's minerva.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Well, you've got to keep him away from me. My
blood pressure is higher than it's been in years. To
make my morning complete, when I bent down to tie
my shoelaces. My glasses fell out.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Later than I thought, I'd better hurry.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So you see, Walter, we all meet in the cafeteria
at lunchtime. We can make the plans for all.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Good missus Brooks, I presume.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I'm terribly sorry, mister content. I didn't see you coming.
Oh dear, I seem to have broken your glasses. Do
you have another pair?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
No, Miss Brooks, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
But perhaps I could get you a long stick and
let you smash the windows in my office.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Do you need he in quite a hurry, mister Conklin,
could I maybe take you somewhere?
Speaker 5 (07:05):

Speaker 5 (07:15):
My daughter Harriet's h.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I'll talk to you later, Miss Brooks, Denton pick up
that shattered glass, Yes, sir, and what should.
Speaker 2 (07:24):

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Mister conklin brains done.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Good?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Right, mister Conklin's you're in a bad mood today. He
looks pretty purple, doesn't he?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Even for him? He certainly is excitable.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Hi Walder, Oh hello, Miss Brooky.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh Harriet? Did you run to Daddy this morning? It's
in the hands of the insurance company now.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
His temper's pretty miserable today.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Poor Daddy's been depressed all week long.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
I don't know what he is.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
We all try to please him.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
What he needs is some recreation and diversion.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Say I have an what is it, miss Brooks?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, instead of my place tonight, why don't we have
our Halloween party at your house, Harriet? That way we
could surprise your father and cheer him up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Wonderful, Miss Hooks, you've done it again.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Anxious as I was to get back into mister Conkland's
good graces, I determined to make the Halloween party Friday
night a roaring success. I had asked the kids to
meet me in the school cafeteria at lunchtime, and the
first one to show up was Madison's star athlete, Stretched
nod Grass. Although a whiz on the football field, stretches
outstanding scholastic achievement occurred during a test last week when
(08:48):
he felled his name correctly.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
I was having a.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Cup of coffee when he approached my table.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So here I am, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Mind if I said, aren't not.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
At all stretch, But wouldn't you like to bring some
food over before we discuss the party?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, oh, ma'am I already yet, Please stretch, I've already.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Eaten all good so we can get right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Down to business. Waller said he thought we all had
to masquerade or something tonight.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's a fine idea, Stretch. You could come as a student.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I got my off at all set in, Miss Brooks.
I got some chaps home and spurs and and two
six shooters that shoot real blanks. I'm coming as hop
along Cassidy. That is, if nobody minds.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Why should anybody mind? Unless Roy Rogers shows up?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
What are you gonna masquerade as?
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh? I haven't made up my mind yet, stretch. Of course,
every good Halloween party should have a witch. Yes, I
might come as a witch.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Perfect young.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Time's so enthusiastic, pretty sharp notice to get a costume made.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I may not I go to all that trouble.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Why don't you just well what you got on?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Big as he is, I'll have to slug him.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I stretched, I am, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Stretch.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Well, things are sure shaping up.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Look at these twall noise makers.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I bought this morning.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Wanted to find time to get all this junk water.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
I sneak out of one of my morning classes. Walter,
you didn't, well it was important, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Besides, there's no harm done. Nobody even noticed I was gone.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's what I like, a nice observant teacher.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh, it wasn't the teacher's fault.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You were facing the blackboard at the time. Look at
this horn, it's got a siren in the mouth piece.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Listen, geez, Walter, you're in the cafeteria. So what one
more blast like that? The beef stew will pull over
to the right.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Tell me, how are you going to the masquerade?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I got a terrific idea, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I'm just gonna put on an old sheet, do you think,
mister Conklin will get a kick out of me as
a ghost.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
If you thought it was on the level, would add
ten years to his life. What are you coming in, Strut,
I haven't quite decided yet, any suggestion?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Who just won?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I don't want you to think I'm being fresh or anything,
but well, this is gonna be a Halloween party, and
oh I'd be glad to furnish you with a broom.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I guess I'm a natural for us.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
What's coming over?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Oh it's mister Boyton.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Hello, mister Boyton.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Hello Walter, Hello, mister Boyton.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Hello, Stretch, Hello, Miss Brooks, Hello mister Barton.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Goodbye Walter, goodbye Stretch.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
You're going nowhere?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Stretch, don't you know the old expressions? Two's company, Three's
a crowd?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Sure I do, but there's four of us. Street.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
You gotta help Harry. You figure out a costume for tonight?
Speaker 9 (11:52):
See your later call Yeah later her So long boys, hell,
Mis Brooks. I think it's a splendid idea you're giving
this little surprise party probably principle tonight.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
It should do him a world of good.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It should do us the world too, if he brightens
up a bit. What kind of an out did do
you think you're aware of, mister Boydan.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
Well, I've got a skeleton costume home that I used
to have quite a bit of fun with in my
college days. It's just a black, tight fitting garment with
a bunch of bones hanging on it.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Bone.
Speaker 9 (12:20):
Yes, the treated with a phosphorescent paint that makes them glow.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
In the dark. It's quite a startling effect.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
The more so since I gathered the bones when I
was an anatomy student.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
From anyone I know.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
I don't mean to dwell on it, miss Brooks, but
I find bones are rather fascinating subject, don't you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That depends on what they're wrapped up in.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
How are you masquerading tonight?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Oh, I don't know you're coming as a skeleton. Maybe
I'll come as a bottle of item. And I'm really
a little sum mister Boynton. What do you think I
should be?
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Well?
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Well, the two most popular figures associated with Halloween are
a black cat, a witch, and.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I'm much too tall for a cab. Walter, Oh, Walter,
get a loop job on that broom boy. Constance Brooks
rides tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I'm glad we're going away in the morning, Martha. Doctor
Benson told me I'm very close to the breaking point.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Yes, of course I don't shop.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So he said that some of my trouble was caused
by my blood pressure, but that part of it was
due to an overactive imagination. Wants me to become relax more.
I'd like to see him relax With that recurring dream
I've had.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Do you mean the one where the ghost visits you
at night?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, Only the last couple of times it's gotten worse.
Instead of a plain ghost, I've been getting one with
Walter Denton's head on.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
It.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Really are good. I just don't know what you got
against that poor boy.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Harriet's very fond of him.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Then he should see a doctor too. Where is she, Martha.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
She's in her room, dear, getting dressed. She said something
about a party tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Parties all kids nowadays think about.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
There won't be any parties at Crystal Lake.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
There won't be any nightmares either, White Martha, do you
realize that while I was sitting in the doctor's office today,
I saw a bulldog by his desk, A bulldog. It
was the shadow of his umbrella stand. But I almost
jumped out of my skin before he explained it.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Things like that happen to people every day, are good?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Not to me?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
They don't, at least they'd better not.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
How do you think the Board of Education.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Would like it if they thought one of their principals
went round seeing bulldogs?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Just don't mention it to anyone, Darling. Now I'm going
to get you a glass of warm milk, and you
stay right company in your chair till I get that
you very well.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
That thing looked like a bulldog. Martha's right, though, I'd
better not mention it to us.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Sol.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
How in the world can that be coming?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Good evening?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Mister Conklin? May I come in?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
There's no tactical way I can refuse you admission.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Come in, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Have the others arrived yet?
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Others?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
What others you'll see when they get here? Is Harriet
at home? Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yes, she's putting on her party dress.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Oh, then you know about it. It should do you
a lot of good, mister Conklin. There's nothing like a
house full of people to get your mind off yourself.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
A house full of her, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Is this party to be given in this house?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Of course?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
I see, And if you'll.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Excuse me, I'll just take my hat and coat and
beat an orderly retreat. But Conton, my doctor has forbidden
any excitement whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You're a doctor. This is a fine time to tell me.
I mean, I didn't know you were in such bad shape,
mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I am on the verge of a nervous collapse, Miss Brooks.
I don't want to spoil everybody's fun. I'll just leave,
quietly leave.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Put mister Counton where you go.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
What's the difference where I go.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I'll just wander around the park like a homeless gypsy.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
You can't do that. You wouldn't look good in earrings.
You're not a well man, mister Conklin. Look, missus Davis
is going to the movies tonight. Now, why don't you
let me drive you over to our place until I
can eliminate the horde of pets A guests who are
coming here. You'll love it over there, mister Conton. You'll
be able to relax completely if it.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Will stave off my breakdown, Miss Brooks, It's the least
I can do for my family.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Miss Brooks left right after dinner. Mister Boynton, I guess
you forgot to buy a few items to the party site.
I'm sure she'll be right there.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Well, that's way our surprise will work out even better surprise.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yes, ma'am, we thought we'd try out some of our
Halloween tricks on miss Brooks before we go over to
mister Cochlin's house.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
That's a wonderful idea. I hope I didn't scarry in
my ghosts out it?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No, I thought you were the laundryman.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
How do you like my costume, Missus Davis?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Nice? You've lost weight.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Haven't you?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
This is a skeleton suit in honor of Halloween.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Isn't that terrifying?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And who's this cowboy with you?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I'm hop along, cassidy, Missus Davis, but I'm really.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Stretched, not grass I'd never have known. Well, if you'll
all go into the house, I'm sure Miss Brooks will
be lighted to see you. I've got to get down
to the theater.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Now, what movie are you seeing tonight? Missus Davis?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Jipson sings again again again again I saw it last week?
Also a nice time killing.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
What should I do with this pucket of water?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
We're ducking forraffles and waller?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Oh and just put it down at the piano stretch. Now,
I'll tell you what we'll do before miss Brooks comes back.
Let's all hide somewhere so we can really surprise her.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
Good idea water, Why don't you get behind that couch stretch.
You hide behind the kitchen door, and I'll get into
the hall closet.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Great, and we're all coming out when I blow this whistle.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's okay, got your water. Hey, look out the window.
Miss Brooks is coming up the walk and she's got
mister Conklin with her.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
Mister Concklan or she probably wanted to get him out
of the way while we were getting things ready at
his place, so much the better.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Still surprised well of them at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Now, first, I'll put the lights out quick. Let's get
out of sight. Well, here we are, mister Conklin. I
guess missus Davis is left for the movies. The lights are.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
All out, but it does seem quite deserted in here.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I'll turn on this hall light so you can see
to hang your things up in the closet. I'll turn
some lights down in the living room while you'll put
your hat and coat away.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Thank you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
What Boks?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
What is it? Mister?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
What's the trouble?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
In the hall.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
What do you keep in there?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Chuck my coat?
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Mister conflict, I see I see? Tell me, missus Brooks.
Is it a long black coat with luminous bones?
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Hum?
Speaker 7 (19:57):
And this bos?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh no, please wait right here, mister Conklin. I'll investigates me.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Miss Brooks. You should have seen mister Concklin's face when.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You behind those other coats. Immediately, mister Banton. I can't
explain now, but don't you dare come out of there
until you get a signal.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Well, miss Brooks, what did you see?
Speaker 6 (20:20):
See?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I didn't see anything, mister Conston. Must have been your imagination.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
My imagination. Then the doctor was right. I'd rather not
talk about it, miss Brooks. If I could just lie
down somewhere, of.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Course, mister Conklin, just stretch out on this couch. I'll
go get another Coatson.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Are you all right? Uh? I must be quite a
sick man. If I were sick, I wouldn't be moaning
(21:11):
like this. On the other hand, it's better than what
am I saying. Why not the water's moaning.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I've returned.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I've come back.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Who's there? Where are you? Look behind you?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Behind the cow.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That coppen Are you all right, what happened, Ms Brooks?
Speaker 7 (21:55):
How long have I been asleep?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Asleep?
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Eh?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You just hit the cow Minton, which reminds me maybe
you'd better see a good psychiatrist. This screaming of yours
can lead to something dangerous.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Just just do me a favor of Miss Brooks. Look
behind that couch.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Certainly, sir. It didn't make you feel any better, but
I assure you there's absolutely nothing behind this cow. I'm
sorry if I startled you, mister Conklin, but my cat
Minerva's back here with a sheet. She was making her bed.
(22:38):
Stay out of sight, Minerva.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
There's a good her, good.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Boy, if you don't mind, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'd like to take a couple of pills, and my
doctor prescribed there have.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Some water, certainly, sir. If you've got an extra pill
or two, I'll be happy to join you. Just sit
right here, Miss Conklin. I'll go into the kitchen and
get some water. Now, on second thought, you'd better come
with me. I don't want you to get nervous again.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
I think you're right, Miss Brooks. Doesn't do for me
to be alone lately.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Now where is that light switch?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Well?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Dog bike catch it?
Speaker 7 (23:12):
But it ain't round up times.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
What was that?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Brooks?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Do you mean to tell me I've actually taken leave
of my senses?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Isn't the real leave? Mister conference, You're just on the
weekend past. A lot of the people get temporary hallucinae.
Maybe we'd better go back to your house.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yes, yes, at a time like this, I suppose I should.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Be near my loved one.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Her Halloween.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Mister Conlin. What gets me?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Then?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
When did you?
Speaker 9 (24:16):
How did you?
Speaker 7 (24:18):
What's this?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It struck my coat? Coming over? Get back?
Speaker 5 (24:23):
It's me, mister Cocklan. I'm a skeleton.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
See look at me, mister Conklin. I'm hop along Cassidy
and I'll plug the first armbree that makes the moves.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Not grass, I'll.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Stop.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
I must control myself.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
What's wrong, mister Cochlan. You don't seem to be enjoying yourself.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, it's all jumping and funny.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Gosh, Miss Brooks went to a lot of trouble to
get this thing organized.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Oh, Miss Brooks organized, But.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
That she sure she planned the whole thing. She deserves
every bit of credit. Well, she's certainly going to get it,
Miss Brooks. I wanted to Miss Brooks, Miss Brooks. Get
your head out of that bucket. This is no time
to be ducking for apples.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Who's ducking for apples? I'm trying to drown myself.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And now once again here is our Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, mister Conklin was so glad to find out that
the things he thought had been happening to him had
been happening to him that he excused us all and
hurried home. Shortly afterwards, I excused Walter in stretch, which
left just mister Boydon the parlor sofa and me.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Here we are, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
You know with that lamplight shining on your hair, you're
absolutely won.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yes, mister boyd you you what's that?
Speaker 5 (25:49):
