and westfol Vista and big plans are under weigh this afternoon,
because tonight a certain lonely bachelor named Doctor Gamble is
(01:43):
going to have a surprise party thrown at him by
a couple of spreads of Christmas cheer named Fibber McGhee
and Molly.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So I got all the other guys lined up for
the party. Molly, I told him what to do and
what to bring to doc house Win seven thirty.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Well good, I'm so glad we decided to give Doctor
Gamble this big surprise party.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Dearie, Yeah, he'll be the most surprised big party in town.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
You know, Doc must get pretty.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Lonesome being a bachelor. Nothing in is stocking for Christmas
but holes.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Well, you know when I heard that his housekeeper had
gone home for the holidays, I knew we had to
do something. Yeah, we couldn't let the poor lads spend
Christmas Eve alone wandering around that empty house.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Let's face it, to see, no house with Doc Gamble
and it is an empty house.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Why when he walks into.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
The Elks Club, he filled the room like cigar smoke. Well,
even so, did you ever notice when he walked into
our living room how the grand piano steps aside? No
end of a funny idea.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Now look about the party tonight? What time am I
supposed to call and get him away from home?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Whole about seven o'clock?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
You give him a pony name and tell him you
live way out of town and you got a upset stomach.
Old Doc just loves upset stomach. He'd go ten miles
to see you want if he had to crawl there
on his own.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, I hate to pool him, but it's been a
good cause. Say did you manage to get hold of
his extra door key?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
All right?
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Me and Oi did that down to the Elch Club.
We knew he had to get his pants off sea,
so we spilled a bucket of water on him.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
You know, heaven the days, wouldn't the glash of water
have been enough?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You ever noticed the size of Doc's riches? Get glass
of water and then limousine type seat covers wouldn't hardly
make a wet spot. Anyhow, he took the fants down
to the furnace room and swiped the casey knot huddled
around in a pair.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Of red and white striped shorts.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
But the wonder he didn't catch cold.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Well you should have seen him, or maybe you shouldn't have.
From the back, he looked like a Siamese white elephant
were in peppermint bloomers.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
He was the most fall watching McGee. He's coming up
the walk right now.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh yeah, there he is, good old doc. Bless his
little fat wattle.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
He's done. Dock hold it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Tell me good morning doctor gamblers.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Good morning, my dear high a possum puss hi a rumplebucket?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
What are you doing on walking the streets?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
You on the lamb from the medical board again.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Yes, they found out.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I've been your doctor all these years and they want
to arrest me for maintaining a nuisance. Very funny, George,
You pretty busy doctor.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
The holidays and all.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Oh yes, Christmas Eve is starting early this year, Molly,
I've already had one call from an MFS Santa Claus
suffering from the flu.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, how'd you catch it?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Didn't catch it?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He got stuck in it.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Fell a plan to surprise his children.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Tonight, so he tried a dry run this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Drier than he thought.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, boy, I hope you didn't try to go in
after him at me. I sent a brick layer.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Then.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I've had three calls so far from frantic mothers complaining
that that children's tongues have turned blue. Oh my goodness,
what cause is that? Licking Christmas tree ornaments? Sem to
lick the red ones? I just swab off the tongue
and check the nose and tears potinsil.
Speaker 9 (05:08):
What a racket he's got.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Molly probably calls that a tense electomy. He charged twenty
bucks for it. My gosh, I don't know how he
don't talk like well, he upsets my stomach. Your stomach
gets upset every time you look in the mirror loudly.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah, And I don't blame it a bit.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
But I didn't come here to discuss your insides, which
I hate anyhow.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I came to bring a gift.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Well, where is it?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Where's the gut?
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Left it at the office.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'll bring it over tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
So on, Golong, isn't he sweep me?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Gi?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, good old doc. He's got a heart of gold
way down deep inside of that tub of blubber someplace. Hey,
did I tell you the extra present I got for him.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Now, what'd you get?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Something nice?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You know when I am Dock went coil shooting. Yes,
last week I took what Dock shot to attack the
deermers and have it stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Oh he should like that.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, he'll have the only house and wistful vesta with
a stuffed cabbage on the wall.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Oh so that's funny. LL me in good morning Olie, Well, good.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Morning missus, and half on yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Mc gamely are.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
You get along with the food for Doc's party?
Speaker 10 (06:26):
Will use tangm gee, the missus is cooking of a
like sixty. I'll bring the stuff and I get there.
But the missus would be a little late.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
Oh anything wrong?
Speaker 10 (06:33):
Only no, of course she has to go to Skews
tonight because she'd let us spending.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That'll only in the Christmas play.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
What will they be in the play?
Speaker 10 (06:41):
Angel Smith's? But all day they act like they come
from the wrong address.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
They shut up a lot, do they nagee there used
playing murder?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (06:52):
Their mama makes angel suits for him out of my
old knight shorts, and then she makes beings out of
vire and hooks him on their shoulders. That's fairy beings
up from the gee.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I know, I know, I know that you know.
Speaker 10 (07:06):
Anyways, she hooks the wings on their shoulders and the
kids start jumping around and the vire slips down. You
wouldn't believe very vings sprouted from them.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I got a fair idea.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Well, I tell you you're mighty lucky to have those children.
Speaker 11 (07:19):
Only.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Yeah, just think what a lonely life doctor Gamble has
being a bachelor.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
I often think of the doctor at Christmas, message all
by himself from that big house, no little voices on
Christmas morning, no little feet running down the stairs. You're
right o, my message a house seemed like a home.
It must seem use like heaven.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
See there seven forty so long. But you all.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
You know I'm glad Risus Winston is fixing food for
the party.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
She's one of the best cooks in town. Oh, no,
better than you are at all. Maybe you don't think
all notices them things, But to me you are the
queen of the skillet.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Why thank you deady Ain't many women.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Could cook a cheap lambshank so it tastes like the
best fork hams you buy a law on the lamb
and make it seem like we're reading high on the hogs.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Why mc gee, you overwhelmed me me too, and I
love it because I don't get come me in her daughter,
Johnny Hall, their kids, come on, Miss Joel Zimon, my
old timer. Did you get the tree in the holly
for docs party tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Paul took care of Chiny? How was up Brady this morning?
Speaker 12 (08:31):
At half to the woods at the crack of dawn?
My new scout axe, some old battle axe, old battle axe.
My girl friend Bessie. I took her along to help
me pick the holly all. Bessie just loves him crazy
red berries.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Is she coming to the party with you tonight?
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
She can't make a daughter. Her sister Essie is visiting
her for Christmas. She's an ostrich Yes, he is an
ostrich yup married in Austrian always has a glass in
one hand and another glass screwed in his eye. He
sounds like a duke, or maybe a count.
Speaker 12 (09:10):
Might be a duke, Johnny, but the son of a
gun is no count. Worry three dollars from Bessie yesterday
just to get his spats half sold.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
Millennia.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
I hope you got a nice treet for the doctor's house.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You girls.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh, it's a beauty daughter.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
And I know trees.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I come from a long line of free experts.
Speaker 12 (09:29):
In fact, all the Papa's folks spent most of their
time hanging around.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Big Tree.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
By their next probably no, by their tails.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
That's my favorite joke, Johnny. I'll tell it at the
party tonight. So cat.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Billy Mills and the orchestra and the special arrangement of
some familiar Christmas melodies.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Jumper Jumper.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Said, Boy, I can't wait to get over to Docs
(11:24):
and get started putting up the tree and everything almost
time to go in it.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
I'm just pasting Christmas eals on his presence. I put
the fruitcake and the root beer out in the front hall.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What do you got there, oh?
Speaker 9 (11:33):
Books.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I've been looking through my own special treasures to see
if there wasn't something else I could give Old Doc
for Christmas. These books he'll love.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Well, that's a generous thought.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
What are they doing?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
All my favorites.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Here's Tarzan's other eight, here's the Rover Boys with King Karuk.
Here's Tom Swift and his mechanical limp picker. Ah, these
(12:08):
are the prize books of the litter.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I've seen the way you keep your books, Darian.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Litter is the word, all right. Ah, you're sweet though
you are fond of the doctor.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Ah, sure, I love every ton of him. Me and
old Doc hit it off the first time I looked
into his eyes and he looked down my throat. It
was a long time ago, but I'll never forget it.
It was ten years ago or more. We just come
to whistle this. Then I had a back ache and
I saw his sign, doctor George Gamble. I went in
and told Doc what was wrong, and he smiled a
friendly smile and put a friendly hand on my shoulder,
(12:37):
and something clicked.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Friendship, No, my spine.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And give me a wrench.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
That darn near busted my lilyac jured my back ache, though,
So I told him just to mail me a bill
and I'd send him a check. And I will too
one of these days. Leave me, kiddo, and I make
a promise with the prompt.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Hello, MOI prus about time you got here.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
We're almost ready to go to docs.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Did you bring the decorations? Mister Wilcox, where are they?
Where are they out in the car?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Molly got a briefcase full?
Speaker 8 (13:06):
Oh and you shouldn't put Christmas tree ornaments in a briefcase.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You'll smash them, Tah, not these, Molly.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'm going to dress up that tree and dress up
the room with Reynold's rap, that beautiful gleaming aluminum foil.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Off and I should have bought candy cane.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Now wait a minute, look, pal, Reynold's rap can be
used for Christmas decorations in dozens of ways. For instance,
you can wrap things.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
In it and hang them on the tree.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Yeah, what kind of things you wrap in it?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Nuts? Poul?
Speaker 11 (13:29):
Well?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Nuts to you too?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
No? No, well, nuts, poul Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Any what you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Reynold's rat turns them into beautiful shining ornaments. It's almost magical.
Away that gleaming foil dresses up a house at Christmas.
I wouldn't have a Christmas without reynolds wrap.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Come to think of it, I guess we wouldn't either.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You can tie shining bows of it on your Christmas wreath.
You can drape it over the mantel. You can spread
it out under the punch I'll.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Take the old fashioned Christmas for mine with Uncle Dennis
spread out under the punch bowl.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Now, never mind Uncle Dennis I think he Reynolds wrap
decoration sound lovely, mister Wilco, But you.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Haven't heard my best idea, Molly. I'm going to build
a winter scene under Doc's tree, some artificial snow, some
evergreen twigs, and a sheet of Reynolds raft to make
a sparkling lake.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
No, no, Junior, no lake, no lake whie no like?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Oh oh, so there can't be a.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Lake because you no like?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Right.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
A lake ain't a lake unless it's got water in it.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
So no lake.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Wait, wait a minute, A Reynolds rat lake is better
than a lake with.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Water no leak, well leach or no leak I don't like,
so no lake.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Now I'm going to make a Reynolds wrap lake with
no leak. If you no like, you know what you
can do? What no?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Look that's telling him, mister Wilco.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I intend to make full use of Reynolds raft, made
by the world's largest producer of a luminum foil, the
Reynolds Medals Company. Everybody should get an extra supply for
the holidays, because, okay, it's terrific.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
As the farmer said to the.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Hired man on the haystack, got ten feet tall.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
That's enough. Pitch. Now, you boys take the car.
Speaker 8 (15:15):

the high.

A briddle bill Flicky's egg and it looked just like
a light bulb.

and westfol Vista and big plans are under weigh this afternoon,
because tonight a certain lonely bachelor named Doctor Gamble is
(01:43):
going to have a surprise party thrown at him by
a couple of spreads of Christmas cheer named Fibber McGhee
and Molly.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So I got all the other guys lined up for
the party. Molly, I told him what to do and
what to bring to doc house Win seven thirty.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Well good, I'm so glad we decided to give Doctor
Gamble this big surprise party.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Dearie, Yeah, he'll be the most surprised big party in town.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
You know, Doc must get pretty.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Lonesome being a bachelor. Nothing in is stocking for Christmas
but holes.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Well, you know when I heard that his housekeeper had
gone home for the holidays, I knew we had to
do something. Yeah, we couldn't let the poor lads spend
Christmas Eve alone wandering around that empty house.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Let's face it, to see, no house with Doc Gamble
and it is an empty house.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Why when he walks into.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
The Elks Club, he filled the room like cigar smoke. Well,
even so, did you ever notice when he walked into
our living room how the grand piano steps aside? No
end of a funny idea.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Now look about the party tonight? What time am I
supposed to call and get him away from home?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Whole about seven o'clock?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
You give him a pony name and tell him you
live way out of town and you got a upset stomach.
Old Doc just loves upset stomach. He'd go ten miles
to see you want if he had to crawl there
on his own.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, I hate to pool him, but it's been a
good cause. Say did you manage to get hold of
his extra door key?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
All right?
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Me and Oi did that down to the Elch Club.
We knew he had to get his pants off sea,
so we spilled a bucket of water on him.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
You know, heaven the days, wouldn't the glash of water
have been enough?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You ever noticed the size of Doc's riches? Get glass
of water and then limousine type seat covers wouldn't hardly
make a wet spot. Anyhow, he took the fants down
to the furnace room and swiped the casey knot huddled
around in a pair.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Of red and white striped shorts.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
But the wonder he didn't catch cold.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Well you should have seen him, or maybe you shouldn't have.
From the back, he looked like a Siamese white elephant
were in peppermint bloomers.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
He was the most fall watching McGee. He's coming up
the walk right now.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh yeah, there he is, good old doc. Bless his
little fat wattle.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
He's done. Dock hold it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Tell me good morning doctor gamblers.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Good morning, my dear high a possum puss hi a rumplebucket?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
What are you doing on walking the streets?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
You on the lamb from the medical board again.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Yes, they found out.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I've been your doctor all these years and they want
to arrest me for maintaining a nuisance. Very funny, George,
You pretty busy doctor.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
The holidays and all.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Oh yes, Christmas Eve is starting early this year, Molly,
I've already had one call from an MFS Santa Claus
suffering from the flu.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, how'd you catch it?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Didn't catch it?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He got stuck in it.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Fell a plan to surprise his children.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Tonight, so he tried a dry run this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Drier than he thought.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, boy, I hope you didn't try to go in
after him at me. I sent a brick layer.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Then.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I've had three calls so far from frantic mothers complaining
that that children's tongues have turned blue. Oh my goodness,
what cause is that? Licking Christmas tree ornaments? Sem to
lick the red ones? I just swab off the tongue
and check the nose and tears potinsil.
Speaker 9 (05:08):
What a racket he's got.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Molly probably calls that a tense electomy. He charged twenty
bucks for it. My gosh, I don't know how he
don't talk like well, he upsets my stomach. Your stomach
gets upset every time you look in the mirror loudly.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah, And I don't blame it a bit.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
But I didn't come here to discuss your insides, which
I hate anyhow.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I came to bring a gift.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Well, where is it?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Where's the gut?
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Left it at the office.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'll bring it over tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
So on, Golong, isn't he sweep me?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Gi?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, good old doc. He's got a heart of gold
way down deep inside of that tub of blubber someplace. Hey,
did I tell you the extra present I got for him.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Now, what'd you get?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Something nice?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You know when I am Dock went coil shooting. Yes,
last week I took what Dock shot to attack the
deermers and have it stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Oh he should like that.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, he'll have the only house and wistful vesta with
a stuffed cabbage on the wall.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Oh so that's funny. LL me in good morning Olie, Well, good.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Morning missus, and half on yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Mc gamely are.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
You get along with the food for Doc's party?
Speaker 10 (06:26):
Will use tangm gee, the missus is cooking of a
like sixty. I'll bring the stuff and I get there.
But the missus would be a little late.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
Oh anything wrong?
Speaker 10 (06:33):
Only no, of course she has to go to Skews
tonight because she'd let us spending.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That'll only in the Christmas play.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
What will they be in the play?
Speaker 10 (06:41):
Angel Smith's? But all day they act like they come
from the wrong address.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
They shut up a lot, do they nagee there used
playing murder?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (06:52):
Their mama makes angel suits for him out of my
old knight shorts, and then she makes beings out of
vire and hooks him on their shoulders. That's fairy beings
up from the gee.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I know, I know, I know that you know.
Speaker 10 (07:06):
Anyways, she hooks the wings on their shoulders and the
kids start jumping around and the vire slips down. You
wouldn't believe very vings sprouted from them.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I got a fair idea.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Well, I tell you you're mighty lucky to have those children.
Speaker 11 (07:19):
Only.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Yeah, just think what a lonely life doctor Gamble has
being a bachelor.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
I often think of the doctor at Christmas, message all
by himself from that big house, no little voices on
Christmas morning, no little feet running down the stairs. You're
right o, my message a house seemed like a home.
It must seem use like heaven.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
See there seven forty so long. But you all.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
You know I'm glad Risus Winston is fixing food for
the party.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
She's one of the best cooks in town. Oh, no,
better than you are at all. Maybe you don't think
all notices them things, But to me you are the
queen of the skillet.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Why thank you deady Ain't many women.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Could cook a cheap lambshank so it tastes like the
best fork hams you buy a law on the lamb
and make it seem like we're reading high on the hogs.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Why mc gee, you overwhelmed me me too, and I
love it because I don't get come me in her daughter,
Johnny Hall, their kids, come on, Miss Joel Zimon, my
old timer. Did you get the tree in the holly
for docs party tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Paul took care of Chiny? How was up Brady this morning?
Speaker 12 (08:31):
At half to the woods at the crack of dawn?
My new scout axe, some old battle axe, old battle axe.
My girl friend Bessie. I took her along to help
me pick the holly all. Bessie just loves him crazy
red berries.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Is she coming to the party with you tonight?
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
She can't make a daughter. Her sister Essie is visiting
her for Christmas. She's an ostrich Yes, he is an
ostrich yup married in Austrian always has a glass in
one hand and another glass screwed in his eye. He
sounds like a duke, or maybe a count.
Speaker 12 (09:10):
Might be a duke, Johnny, but the son of a
gun is no count. Worry three dollars from Bessie yesterday
just to get his spats half sold.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
Millennia.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
I hope you got a nice treet for the doctor's house.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You girls.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh, it's a beauty daughter.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
And I know trees.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I come from a long line of free experts.
Speaker 12 (09:29):
In fact, all the Papa's folks spent most of their
time hanging around.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Big Tree.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
By their next probably no, by their tails.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
That's my favorite joke, Johnny. I'll tell it at the
party tonight. So cat.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Billy Mills and the orchestra and the special arrangement of
some familiar Christmas melodies.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Jumper Jumper.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Said, Boy, I can't wait to get over to Docs
(11:24):
and get started putting up the tree and everything almost
time to go in it.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
I'm just pasting Christmas eals on his presence. I put
the fruitcake and the root beer out in the front hall.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What do you got there, oh?
Speaker 9 (11:33):
Books.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I've been looking through my own special treasures to see
if there wasn't something else I could give Old Doc
for Christmas. These books he'll love.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Well, that's a generous thought.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
What are they doing?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
All my favorites.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Here's Tarzan's other eight, here's the Rover Boys with King Karuk.
Here's Tom Swift and his mechanical limp picker. Ah, these
(12:08):
are the prize books of the litter.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I've seen the way you keep your books, Darian.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Litter is the word, all right. Ah, you're sweet though
you are fond of the doctor.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Ah, sure, I love every ton of him. Me and
old Doc hit it off the first time I looked
into his eyes and he looked down my throat. It
was a long time ago, but I'll never forget it.
It was ten years ago or more. We just come
to whistle this. Then I had a back ache and
I saw his sign, doctor George Gamble. I went in
and told Doc what was wrong, and he smiled a
friendly smile and put a friendly hand on my shoulder,
(12:37):
and something clicked.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Friendship, No, my spine.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And give me a wrench.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
That darn near busted my lilyac jured my back ache, though,
So I told him just to mail me a bill
and I'd send him a check. And I will too
one of these days. Leave me, kiddo, and I make
a promise with the prompt.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Hello, MOI prus about time you got here.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
We're almost ready to go to docs.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Did you bring the decorations? Mister Wilcox, where are they?
Where are they out in the car?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Molly got a briefcase full?
Speaker 8 (13:06):
Oh and you shouldn't put Christmas tree ornaments in a briefcase.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You'll smash them, Tah, not these, Molly.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'm going to dress up that tree and dress up
the room with Reynold's rap, that beautiful gleaming aluminum foil.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Off and I should have bought candy cane.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Now wait a minute, look, pal, Reynold's rap can be
used for Christmas decorations in dozens of ways. For instance,
you can wrap things.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
In it and hang them on the tree.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Yeah, what kind of things you wrap in it?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Nuts? Poul?
Speaker 11 (13:29):
Well?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Nuts to you too?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
No? No, well, nuts, poul Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Any what you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Reynold's rat turns them into beautiful shining ornaments. It's almost magical.
Away that gleaming foil dresses up a house at Christmas.
I wouldn't have a Christmas without reynolds wrap.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Come to think of it, I guess we wouldn't either.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You can tie shining bows of it on your Christmas wreath.
You can drape it over the mantel. You can spread
it out under the punch I'll.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Take the old fashioned Christmas for mine with Uncle Dennis
spread out under the punch bowl.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Now, never mind Uncle Dennis I think he Reynolds wrap
decoration sound lovely, mister Wilco, But you.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Haven't heard my best idea, Molly. I'm going to build
a winter scene under Doc's tree, some artificial snow, some
evergreen twigs, and a sheet of Reynolds raft to make
a sparkling lake.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
No, no, Junior, no lake, no lake whie no like?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Oh oh, so there can't be a.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Lake because you no like?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Right.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
A lake ain't a lake unless it's got water in it.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
So no lake.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Wait, wait a minute, A Reynolds rat lake is better
than a lake with.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Water no leak, well leach or no leak I don't like,
so no lake.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Now I'm going to make a Reynolds wrap lake with
no leak. If you no like, you know what you
can do? What no?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Look that's telling him, mister Wilco.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I intend to make full use of Reynolds raft, made
by the world's largest producer of a luminum foil, the
Reynolds Medals Company. Everybody should get an extra supply for
the holidays, because, okay, it's terrific.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
As the farmer said to the.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Hired man on the haystack, got ten feet tall.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
That's enough. Pitch. Now, you boys take the car.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Now, I'll call a doctor. Now I'm getting out of
the high.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Are you packed the car, Junior? I'll get the number
for your Hello operator. Give me the residence of doctor
George Gambull wistful bits to.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
