Our Miss Brooks was a beloved American sitcom that ran on CBS radio from 1948 to 1957. It was one of the most popular radio shows of its time, and it was later adapted into a successful television series that ran from 1952 to 1956.
The show starred the iconic Eve Arden as Connie Brooks, a wisecracking and sarcastic English teacher at Madison High School. Arden's portrayal of Miss Brooks was both hilarious and endearing, and she won over audiences with her quick wit and sharp one-liners
The supporting cast of Our Miss Brooks was equally memorable. Gale Gordon played the uptight and pompous Principal Osgood Conklin, Richard Crenna played the dimwitted but lovable student Walter Denton, and Jane Morgan played Miss Brooks' scatterbrained landlady, Mrs. Davis.
The show's storylines were typically lighthearted and comedic, focusing on the everyday trials and tribulations of Miss Brooks and her students. Miss Brooks would often find herself in comical situations, such as dealing with mischievous students, trying to impress her love interest, or getting into trouble with her boss.
Our Miss Brooks was a groundbreaking show in many ways. It was one of the first sitcoms to feature a strong female lead character, and it helped to pave the way for other shows with similar formats. The show was also praised for its sharp writing and its talented cast
.Even though it went off the air over 60 years ago, Our Miss Brooks remains a classic radio sitcom. The show is still fondly remembered by fans, and it continues to be enjoyed by new generations of listeners.

(00:00):
Pamali soup, Your Beauty Hope andLuster Cream shampoo for soft, glamorous,
caressible hair. Bring you Our MissBrooks starring E Barden. Our Miss Brooks
teaches English at Madison Hives. Welike many other aromatically inclined people, she
(00:24):
sent the object of her affections,Madison's bashful biologist, Philip Boynton, an
unsigned card for Valentine's Day, andthen she sat down to wait for his
reply. It wasn't that his replywas long in coming, it just didn't
come at all. Knowing mister Boynton, I wasn't too surprised that he forgot
(00:44):
about Valentine's Day, but I wasdetermined to change the locale of our next
date. For the past six weekswe had spent every Friday afternoon at the
zoo. Now I am definitely notanti animal, but I am a school
teacher and hints at the spending threehours in the monkey house. I just
can't afford to buy taboo by thecourt. I went ruding about it in
(01:07):
the school cafeteria on Friday when HarrietConklan walked over. Mind if I sit
down with you, Miss Brooks.Not at all, Harriet, but don't
you usually have lunch with Walter Denton? Yes, I do, but he's
managed with the basketball team, youknow, and he's giving the boys an
extra skull practice. Really, whoseskull are they using today? I hope
you're not expecting mister Boyton to havelunch with you, miss Brooks. He
(01:29):
told me he was eating his lunchin the laboratory because he didn't want to
leave McDougall alone. No, don'ttell me that Frog is sick again,
not actually sick, it's just springfever or something. It's kind of fun
to have lunch without any men aroundanyway, don't you think so, miss
Brooks? Well, yes and no, what do you mean? Yes and
no. No, we haven't hada real woman to woman's talk in a
(01:56):
long time. No, Walter Dentonis crazier about than ever. All I
have to do is whistle and hecomes running. Really, it's the only
way to train them. That's whatyou want to try with mister Boynton.
I have, But every time Iwhistle, he opens his lunch box.
Sometimes his dog like affection and constantworship becomes absolutely cloying. Well, I
(02:22):
wish mister Boyton would cloy me oncein a while. By the way,
Harriet, when Walter takes you outon a date, where do you usually
who all sorts of places, MissBrooke, a drive in the country,
or for a long walk in thepark, for sometimes to go to a
movie and hold hands. Do youever go to the zoo to zoo?
Gosh, No, except when misterBoyton takes us there for his monthly lecture.
(02:44):
That's where I've got an edge onyou kids. I hear it every
week. So mister Boyne takes youto the movies once in a while,
doesn't he. Oh? Yes,As a matter of fact, we went
last week. Was it romantic?Oh? Extremely? We stood in a
crowd of people behind a velvet ropefor a while, and then an usher
said there's one down front. Yes, that was the last I saw of
mister Boynan for three hours. Ifinally got a seat in the balcony.
(03:12):
Surely that's the same, Miss Brooks. You couldn't hold hands at all,
could you? Not? Even withthe long gloves I was wearing. But
about those fridays in the monkey house, Harriet, I'm surprised at you,
Miss Brooks. You don't really letmister Boynant take you to the monkey House
every week? Do you No,I think it's the monkey House. It
can't be the taj Mahal with allthose bananas. Well, if it isn't,
(03:36):
Madison hides Ferris. May I jointhis charming bevy of pulsitude? Why
Walder? What a lovely speech?Yes you are a delightful Charles Walder.
But if you'll excuse me, missBrooks, I'd like to get my entree
at the steam table. Oh canI be of service fair, Harriet?
I'll gladly fetch what you want?No, thank you, but if you'll
sit up nicely when I return,I'll pat you on that r R.
(04:00):
Can I get you anything this brookNo thanks, Harriet, just bring back
a roast beef bone and a canof strong heart. Okay, Harriet.
You know I think it's wonderful theway you kids get along. You're very
fond of Harriet, aren't you?Walden? Very plus which Harriet's the principal's
daughter, and I'm manager of thebasketball team. And there are things that
I can accomplish quicker If I canget to mister Conklin without having to go
(04:21):
through regulation channels all the time.What's good about getting to mister conkline so
fast. Well, I like gettingthings done fast that need getting done fast,
like new jerseys, for instance,like new jersey's what for instance?
Not new jerseys? Anything? Newjerseys for the basketball team? Oh,
we need them badly? You dowith that? The ones the team more
(04:43):
in their last game looked awfully fuzzy. They didn't wear any in their last
game. But I'm sure the newones will come too. All I I'm
taking Harriet out on a date tonight, and I can bring it up casually
when I see the conkling at hishouse. I don't like to suggest a
career for you, Walter, butI have a feeling you're going to kiss
(05:04):
an awful lot of babies before you'remuch older. Oh, I could never
be a politician. I'm too sincere, how But why are we talking about
me? You seem to have aproblem of your own on your mind,
Miss Brooks. Is it that obvious, Walter? I have been thinking about
mister Barton, but only in connectionwith getting him out of the zoo and
into my parlor. Watching me tootough? What kind of a Webby is
(05:27):
sinning? Webb? Look, MissBrooks. At the risk of feeling like
a trader to a fellow male.I'll help your plot, mister Boynton's overthrow.
But frankly, I'm kind of hungryright now. Then why don't you
eat, Walter and we can finishbuilding the bomb after lunch. Oh,
say, there's mister Leblanche, thenew French teacher. Oh, I don't
know plenty about romance. He's areal frenchman. I'll call him over to
(05:47):
dare Walter when I'm ready to takemy case to the United Nations. I'll
let you know. Besides, i'veseen mister Leblanche on dates with miss Enwright
lately. So what miss Enright goeson dates to anybody? Gosh, every
time she sees mister Boynton she makesGoogle eyes at him. That's not nice,
Walderon. It's Enwright's eyes are alwaysthat way. I mean, it's
(06:10):
ethical. Is better than launchome,Miss Brooks. Oh, mister leblan,
please, yes, would you bekind enough to come over here a minute.
I'd like to talk to you aboutsomething very important. Well, you
better talk to Walter because I bringmy coffee along. And oh, I'll
do you Miss Books fine, howdo you mister LeBlanc? What it?
(06:32):
What did you want to talk tome about Walter's important. I'll see you
later. Now that's what I calla real subtle maneuver. He's a he's
a funny boy. No, no, now, now he's just you and
I, miss Books. Eh,I'm afraid it's just you, mister leblink.
(06:53):
I've got to see Miss the concluentabout something, mister Conkland, Please,
miss Books. I think mister Conkland'sa fine principles but do you have
to mention him during the lunch period? You've got something there. I guess
you can wait a while. It'sonly a question of giving him my weekly
dollar. Are you are him aweekly dollar for what? It's a long
(07:15):
and grim story, but I thinkI can boil it down to the repulsive
essential. A couple of weeks ago, I took an electric heater of his,
connected it mister Boynton's laboratory on anoverloaded circuit, and shorted the building,
started a small fire, and ruinedthe heater. Why do this?
I like sirens? Oh. Ididn't do it purposely, mister leblank.
(07:35):
It was an accident, one forwhich I'm paying at the rate of a
dollar a week and today's dollar dayat Madison. Well that is too bad,
miss Books, but it is notmoney that causes you to look the
way you do today. Is therea sign on my forehead? How do
I look today? Well, thereare only two things that can make a
woman have the look you have onyour face. One is an affair of
(07:57):
the harp. The other is themeat ball in this cafeteria. But neither
of them is in chobl Eh.I'm sure you haven't eaten those meatballs lately.
Look, it's nice of you totry and cheer me up. Mister
LeBlanc. Please call me Paul,and I'm not going to cheer you up.
I'm trying to help you. Firstof all, tell me this.
(08:20):
Did you receive any messages on Valentine'sDay? Oh, scad I got one
from Zimmerman's Bakery, one from thefinance company, a lovely little card from
Bertie's Bicycle Shop in the shape ofa pump. That one was, and
oh yes, a dandy little poemfrom sam our neighborhood scissor sharpener. I
think I remember that one. Itwent. I've applied my grindstone to shears,
(08:41):
both old and new, but Inever met a scissors one half as
sharp as you. Wasn't that apeachy sentiment for Valentine's Day? Quite amusing,
Yes, but not to you.I'm afraid because you're not in love
with Sam the scissor or ball feedthe bicycles. No, my problem is
boyting the biology. Miss Works.Since we have taken me into your confidence,
(09:05):
I would like to make a suggestion. You must play how do you
say in this country? You mustplay difficult to acquire? Difficult to acquire?
Oh you mean hard to get?Now tell me, tell me the
truth. When mister Boynton ask youfor an engagement, do you ever say
no? Well? No, butit isn't just because of mister Boyton.
(09:28):
I'd hate to disappoint four hundred monkeys. I haven't gone out with him much
lately at all because he do notask you. Well. I like that.
I am glad, Miss Works.There's one way to get a man
interested that never fails. You mustmake him jell out. I've tried that,
(09:50):
mister le Blanche, but he justdoesn't jell out very easily. Ah.
Yes, but you've tried it onlyonce. That is not enough.
How do the big American advertising iswork? A repetition over and over the
same thing. What did you hearon the radio all the time, smoke
curbin, smoke curbet. If youwere pretty soften enough, you know what
(10:18):
happens. Yeah, Jack gets prettyburned up. Now, missus Leblane,
I'm afraid mister Boynton is too wrappedup in a frog to pay any attention
to me. Oh, but ofcourse I forget monsieur le frog. You
know, in France we have aproverb luciamo curled dumb, a parthon grenade
translation. The way to a man'sheart is towards frog. I don't see
(10:46):
what it happens. It's simple,really. Here you have a man with
his little pete Mosieur le frog,and here you have a woman with her
pet, Mademoiselle la frog. Nowwe convince the man that monsieurle frog is
lonesome. And where can this poorlittle frog find companionship with Mademoise a love
frog? And when the two littlefrogs go together, where are the man
(11:09):
and the woman pricing junior beds fortadpoles? No, no, miss Books,
no, the man and the womanare also together. Now you know,
miss Books, what you have todo to get mister boyn turns to
be a plastial dog. No,yes, I've got to build a better
frog trap. Look, mister lafrog le Blanche, this idea is a
(11:33):
little bit I'm coming, miss brooksAh, you look better already, hello,
Walter, Mister Leblanche is quite anidea, man. We were just
discussing a really fantastic scheme, notonly fantastic, but ridiculous and absurd.

Walder my last dollar to buy afemale frog, and while he was out
getting it, I took advantage ofa free period to visit mister Boynton in
his laboratory. Hello, mister Boyton, Hello, Miss Brooks. I just
dropped in to say hello mister Barton. Hello. Well to buy mister Barton
(13:41):
Oh, don't go yet. I'vejust been examining McDougall. You know,
my frog. He's got me alittle worried way off his feet, and
we'll look at him. I shouldthink you guys pop up more than usual.
What did you say? I said, don't you think his eyes pop
out more than usual? Yes?For a minute I thought he was Eddie
(14:03):
Candor II Mac. Of course,you know what's wrong with Mac, don't
you? Uh no, miss Brooks, I don't. Well, it's getting
very close to spring, and it'sjust, after all, you raised him
from a tadpole, and it's onlynatural that you should still think of him
as your baby. But he's abig boy. Now, what do you
mean, miss Brooks? Oh,just this, mister Boyton. Did it
(14:26):
ever occur to you that Mac getslonesome all alone in that cage? Oh?
I let him out of a cage. Quite often. He hops all
over the lab. But what goodis that he hasn't got any friends here?
I don't know. There are alwaysa number of guinea pigs around.
Of course he doesn't pay much attentionto them. Well, naturally, guinea
pigs make fine friends for other guineapigs. A frog might crave a different
kind of companionship, or what aboutme? I'm very close to mcgogle,
(14:48):
I've done his constant companion. IfI were a frog, I don't think
i'd consider that the ideal arrangement either. Now I think i'd want something a
little more frog like. What areyou getting at this? Brook Look?
Did you ever sit down and tellmcdoodle about the birds and bees? What
does he want with birds and bees? He won't even make friends with guinea
pigs. Well, let me putit this way, Missus Davis, my
(15:11):
landlady has a cat named Minerva.Now around this time of the year,
Minerva keeps us both awake half thenight with an almost incessant yowling. Or
if you tried giving her a saucerof milk, that's not what she's yowling
about, mister bonho milks. Yes, I know, and believe me,
if I thought it would quiet herdown, I'd give her an autograph picture
(15:33):
of Elsie the Cow. But itwon't. She's yowling because she's lonely.
Well, Missus Brooks, I didn'tknow you were so aware of these biological
manifestations. Where did you learn allthis? My mama done told me.
I found out about a lot ofthings since I've acquired my pet frog.
(15:54):
Pet female frog, that is,you have a pet frog, Miss Brooks.
What's her name? Her name?Uh, Milly Millie? Yes,
from the picture of the mating ofMilly. Now she's offully cute too,
right, you take the Max almostunderstood what you were talking about. Well,
don't think for a minute he doesn't. What do you say, Mac?
Would you like to come over andplay with Milly this afternoon? Today?
(16:18):
You are a man frog. Ohthis is amazing, Miss Brooks.
Looking you talk mind, I'd liketo ask you if shine up your hope
chest Milly, here it comes.I'd like to ask you, miss Brooks,
how about a double date, thatis, if you if it isn't
too much trouble, shall we saymy place for tea splendid Just bring a
pogo stick in a deck of cards, mister Barnham, a pulgo stick and
(16:41):
cards. Yes, while Mac andMilly played, gen you and I can
have a hopping contest. Excuse me? Could you come over here to the
door a minute, Miss Brooks,I've got to get to my next class.
Oh, certainly, Walter, I'lljust be a minute, mister Barnton,
did you get it, Walterer?Yes, in this paper, badness
Brooks here, it's okay. Ihope it works in this Brooks. Well,
(17:02):
i'll see you in English. What'sin the bag, miss Brooks?
This bag? Oh, just aroasty sandwich Walter brought me. It's a
pretty active one. Look out it. It's falling out of the bag here
he let me see that. Yeah, I've got him. Oh, miss
Brooks, he'll realize what you've gothere. Sure an frog. I didn't
want to mention it in front ofMac until we got home. But this
(17:25):
is a male frog. You canalways tell because in the species demorphic notis
from West Africa. There's a veryapparent demorphism and the dentisial. The male's
being provided with a series of largeserrated teeth in the lower jaw, which
in the female is dentialss. Well, flop me with a wet lily pad.
Excuse me, it's the boy andI've got to be running along now,
(17:47):
Why miss Brooks, I've got tosee a boy about a frog here
here, I'll put it back inthe bag for you. Now just hold
the top tighter and he won't getaway. Again. I still don't comprehend
why you got this male frog.Well, I didn't know how you and
Google would react to the idea ofkeeping Millie company, so I thought i'd
play safe and get this one too. I don't think Mac likes the idea
very much. Don't be jealous,Mac, let him live his own lives.
(18:11):
Weeks better not come over this afternoon, Miss Brooks I'm afraid it could
only confuse Mac. Look, misterBoynton, I don't care if a frog
wants to play hard to get,but there's something i'd like you to remember.
What's that, Miss Brooks? Well. I don't want to sound too
much like an English teacher, butwhen one plays hard to get too often,
one sometimes don't get God. I'lljust take this frog into my room
(18:37):
and see how water happened to makesuch a I've been looking all over for
you, Missus Davis. What areyou doing in the hallowed halls of Madison
High Well? I know how you'vebeen waiting for a Valentine cause for mister
Boyne, and I just had totell you that all hope isn't lost.
But today is Friday, Missus Davis. That's just it's conning some mail team
this morning that should have been deliveredMonday. A Valentine. No, a
(18:57):
bill from the gas company. Nowthat's the nicest bit of sentiments. And
Sam's scissors. They say that ifwe don't tell it immediately, they'll shut
off the gas. Just my luckwith mister Boyhan coming over for tea.
It couldn't be the electric company promisingto shut off all the light no time,
and I'm short some money, orI wouldn't bother you in school like
(19:19):
this. You know, Minerva costsme a lot lately with her sticis diet.
No. Just how much do youneed, missus Davis? Real?
If you'll forgive a slang expression,one green bag will do it. I
just haven't have one on me.He's in this bag here. Don't look
so alarmed, Missus Davis. I'mnot cracking up completely. Look, just
take this frog back to Peterson's Petshop and they'll refund my dollar. I'll
(19:41):
explain why I bought the frog later. You don't have to explain anything to
me, Commie. If you wanta frog for a pet, it's perfectly
all right. But why are yougiving it back to keep the gas on?
For one thing? Besides it's amale frog, and I've got to
have a female. Will you don'thave to send any money for that.
I'll get you a female frog inthe park. I never thought of that.
I'd certainly appreciated, missus Davis.Would you bring it back with you
(20:03):
after you've paid the gas bill?Pleasantly? Connie and I just knew that
you'll be very happy together, andso class you were to have these compositions
ready by next Tuesday. That's theend of the period. Class dismissed except
(20:23):
Walter Denton's come up to my desk. Walter, Oh, I'm glad you
asked me, miss Brooks. Iwanted to explain about that froud. You
see, mister Peterson was out tolunch when I got to the pet shop,
so I got you one out ofthe park pond. But was it
all right? I mean, wasshe a girl? No, Walter,
she was a boy with big serratedteeth in her lower jaw. And what
about the dollar I gave you?Oh, here it is, miss Rooks.
(20:45):
I didn't have time to give itto you before. Thanks Walter.
That'll be awesome. Now. ThenI better get over to mister Kunsman's office
and make my payment on that Heather. Oh, here, I am Connie
hill O Walter, Missus Davis.So i'm missus Davis. We will,
But you think, Connie, misterPeterson didn't sell Walter that frog at all,
I know, Missus Davis, buthe said it was a very good
specimen and traded me a lovely femaletolim. And instead of giving us any
(21:10):
money, he promised that when ourfrog becomes a husband, we'll get the
pick of uditors. I can hardlywait. But where's the female frog?
Oh? I had that in thepaper bag and it seems very insecure.
So I put the frog in thedesk across the hall. Nobody saw me
across the hall. But that's misterComplin's office. Missus Davis, who wait
(21:30):
right here? And if I'm notback in five minutes, call the coroner.
How what is it come in?Oh it's you, Miss Brooks.
Please transact whatever business you have inthis office in a hurry. I've got
an appointment with the doctor. Thedoctor. What's the matter, mister concorce.
Oh, just to check up alot of nonsense, if you ask
(21:51):
me. My wife's been telling himall sorts of foolishness about the state of
my nerves to hear her tell it. I've not only got the world's highest
blood pressure, but I'm jumped,me anxious overall, and I'm ill tempered.
(22:12):
Now what is it you want?I just want to give you a
dollar towards the heater I accidentally injured. Here. Oh, let's sit down
for a minute. I'll give youa receipt. I've got a regular Board
of Education receipt book around here somewhere. But mister Conklin, you're a desk
r. Miss Brooks, don't tellme where I keep my things. Of
course, it's in the desk drawthat Tina books should be right over here,
(22:34):
next to this bluff. That's funny. Oh here it is over by
this frog. Hello little frog,and miss Brooks. It won't take a
moment to get the receipt. Hellolittle frog, missus frog? Where did
(23:03):
this monstrous Do you know anything aboutthis horrible creak? How did this?
Mister Comlin, remember the world's highestblood pressure? Come to mind? There?
What is this frog going in mydesk? Calm down, mister conklin.
Our this isn't the only school that'sovercrowded. I thought you'd never get
(23:26):
home from school, Connie, howlong did mister Conklin stand bowling you off?
No, it seemed like ours,but actually it was only a few
minutes. You should have been therewhen mister Conklin and Milly here faced each
other across his death drawer. Poorthing, her heart hasn't stopped beating yet,
neither as yours. Connie. You'reas jumpy as Minerva. Are you
sure? Mister Boyton said he'd beover fifteen? Oh, definitely, Missus
(23:48):
Davis. I told him all abouthow lonely Minerva was and compared her to
McDougall. So he's bringing Mac overto meet Milly. It's the first time
in weeks we've had a date awayfrom the zoo. That's mister. Now
go make the tea, Toney,and you receive him. Oh all right,
Missus Davis coming. Well, it'snice to see you boys. Come
(24:08):
in. Let's go into the livingroom. Thank you, Miss Brooks.
Here's something for Milly. It's fromMcDougall. Oh, I'll open it for
her. Well, wasn't that thoughtfulof mac? Milly? Just what you
needed. The clump of wilted lettershere, I'll put it in this little
box I keep her in. Ooh, I guess Mac wants to see what
(24:30):
Milly looks like. Oh, ofcourse, here, just hold him up.
There we are ooh ooh she likeshim. But Miss Brooks, didn't
you say you had a cat onthe premises? That's right, Minerva.
She usually sleeps in the piano duringthe day. Hear Minerva come out of
the piano. Oh, well,she'll probably wake up in a little while.
(24:52):
Sit down, mister Barton. Ohbefore I do, don't you want
to open this big box for me? Well, what in the world can
this be? It's a cat,Miss Brooks, and I brought him over
to keep Minerva company. Yeah,well, here comes Minerva. Now like

Miss Brooks. Bob Luman speaking tothe CBS A Plump Podcasts
Pamali soup, Your Beauty Hope andLuster Cream shampoo for soft, glamorous,
caressible hair. Bring you Our MissBrooks starring E Barden. Our Miss Brooks
teaches English at Madison Hives. Welike many other aromatically inclined people, she
(00:24):
sent the object of her affections,Madison's bashful biologist, Philip Boynton, an
unsigned card for Valentine's Day, andthen she sat down to wait for his
reply. It wasn't that his replywas long in coming, it just didn't
come at all. Knowing mister Boynton, I wasn't too surprised that he forgot
(00:44):
about Valentine's Day, but I wasdetermined to change the locale of our next
date. For the past six weekswe had spent every Friday afternoon at the
zoo. Now I am definitely notanti animal, but I am a school
teacher and hints at the spending threehours in the monkey house. I just
can't afford to buy taboo by thecourt. I went ruding about it in
(01:07):
the school cafeteria on Friday when HarrietConklan walked over. Mind if I sit
down with you, Miss Brooks.Not at all, Harriet, but don't
you usually have lunch with Walter Denton? Yes, I do, but he's
managed with the basketball team, youknow, and he's giving the boys an
extra skull practice. Really, whoseskull are they using today? I hope
you're not expecting mister Boyton to havelunch with you, miss Brooks. He
(01:29):
told me he was eating his lunchin the laboratory because he didn't want to
leave McDougall alone. No, don'ttell me that Frog is sick again,
not actually sick, it's just springfever or something. It's kind of fun
to have lunch without any men aroundanyway, don't you think so, miss
Brooks? Well, yes and no, what do you mean? Yes and
no. No, we haven't hada real woman to woman's talk in a
(01:56):
long time. No, Walter Dentonis crazier about than ever. All I
have to do is whistle and hecomes running. Really, it's the only
way to train them. That's whatyou want to try with mister Boynton.
I have, But every time Iwhistle, he opens his lunch box.
Sometimes his dog like affection and constantworship becomes absolutely cloying. Well, I
(02:22):
wish mister Boyton would cloy me oncein a while. By the way,
Harriet, when Walter takes you outon a date, where do you usually
who all sorts of places, MissBrooke, a drive in the country,
or for a long walk in thepark, for sometimes to go to a
movie and hold hands. Do youever go to the zoo to zoo?
Gosh, No, except when misterBoyton takes us there for his monthly lecture.
(02:44):
That's where I've got an edge onyou kids. I hear it every
week. So mister Boyne takes youto the movies once in a while,
doesn't he. Oh? Yes,As a matter of fact, we went
last week. Was it romantic?Oh? Extremely? We stood in a
crowd of people behind a velvet ropefor a while, and then an usher
said there's one down front. Yes, that was the last I saw of
mister Boynan for three hours. Ifinally got a seat in the balcony.
(03:12):
Surely that's the same, Miss Brooks. You couldn't hold hands at all,
could you? Not? Even withthe long gloves I was wearing. But
about those fridays in the monkey house, Harriet, I'm surprised at you,
Miss Brooks. You don't really letmister Boynant take you to the monkey House
every week? Do you No,I think it's the monkey House. It
can't be the taj Mahal with allthose bananas. Well, if it isn't,
(03:36):
Madison hides Ferris. May I jointhis charming bevy of pulsitude? Why
Walder? What a lovely speech?Yes you are a delightful Charles Walder.
But if you'll excuse me, missBrooks, I'd like to get my entree
at the steam table. Oh canI be of service fair, Harriet?
I'll gladly fetch what you want?No, thank you, but if you'll
sit up nicely when I return,I'll pat you on that r R.
(04:00):
Can I get you anything this brookNo thanks, Harriet, just bring back
a roast beef bone and a canof strong heart. Okay, Harriet.
You know I think it's wonderful theway you kids get along. You're very
fond of Harriet, aren't you?Walden? Very plus which Harriet's the principal's
daughter, and I'm manager of thebasketball team. And there are things that
I can accomplish quicker If I canget to mister Conklin without having to go
(04:21):
through regulation channels all the time.What's good about getting to mister conkline so
fast. Well, I like gettingthings done fast that need getting done fast,
like new jerseys, for instance,like new jersey's what for instance?
Not new jerseys? Anything? Newjerseys for the basketball team? Oh,
we need them badly? You dowith that? The ones the team more
(04:43):
in their last game looked awfully fuzzy. They didn't wear any in their last
game. But I'm sure the newones will come too. All I I'm
taking Harriet out on a date tonight, and I can bring it up casually
when I see the conkling at hishouse. I don't like to suggest a
career for you, Walter, butI have a feeling you're going to kiss
(05:04):
an awful lot of babies before you'remuch older. Oh, I could never
be a politician. I'm too sincere, how But why are we talking about
me? You seem to have aproblem of your own on your mind,
Miss Brooks. Is it that obvious, Walter? I have been thinking about
mister Barton, but only in connectionwith getting him out of the zoo and
into my parlor. Watching me tootough? What kind of a Webby is
(05:27):
sinning? Webb? Look, MissBrooks. At the risk of feeling like
a trader to a fellow male.I'll help your plot, mister Boynton's overthrow.
But frankly, I'm kind of hungryright now. Then why don't you
eat, Walter and we can finishbuilding the bomb after lunch. Oh,
say, there's mister Leblanche, thenew French teacher. Oh, I don't
know plenty about romance. He's areal frenchman. I'll call him over to
(05:47):
dare Walter when I'm ready to takemy case to the United Nations. I'll
let you know. Besides, i'veseen mister Leblanche on dates with miss Enwright
lately. So what miss Enright goeson dates to anybody? Gosh, every
time she sees mister Boynton she makesGoogle eyes at him. That's not nice,
Walderon. It's Enwright's eyes are alwaysthat way. I mean, it's
(06:10):
ethical. Is better than launchome,Miss Brooks. Oh, mister leblan,
please, yes, would you bekind enough to come over here a minute.
I'd like to talk to you aboutsomething very important. Well, you
better talk to Walter because I bringmy coffee along. And oh, I'll
do you Miss Books fine, howdo you mister LeBlanc? What it?
(06:32):
What did you want to talk tome about Walter's important. I'll see you
later. Now that's what I calla real subtle maneuver. He's a he's
a funny boy. No, no, now, now he's just you and
I, miss Books. Eh,I'm afraid it's just you, mister leblink.
(06:53):
I've got to see Miss the concluentabout something, mister Conkland, Please,
miss Books. I think mister Conkland'sa fine principles but do you have
to mention him during the lunch period? You've got something there. I guess
you can wait a while. It'sonly a question of giving him my weekly
dollar. Are you are him aweekly dollar for what? It's a long
(07:15):
and grim story, but I thinkI can boil it down to the repulsive
essential. A couple of weeks ago, I took an electric heater of his,
connected it mister Boynton's laboratory on anoverloaded circuit, and shorted the building,
started a small fire, and ruinedthe heater. Why do this?
I like sirens? Oh. Ididn't do it purposely, mister leblank.
(07:35):
It was an accident, one forwhich I'm paying at the rate of a
dollar a week and today's dollar dayat Madison. Well that is too bad,
miss Books, but it is notmoney that causes you to look the
way you do today. Is therea sign on my forehead? How do
I look today? Well, thereare only two things that can make a
woman have the look you have onyour face. One is an affair of
(07:57):
the harp. The other is themeat ball in this cafeteria. But neither
of them is in chobl Eh.I'm sure you haven't eaten those meatballs lately.
Look, it's nice of you totry and cheer me up. Mister
LeBlanc. Please call me Paul,and I'm not going to cheer you up.
I'm trying to help you. Firstof all, tell me this.
(08:20):
Did you receive any messages on Valentine'sDay? Oh, scad I got one
from Zimmerman's Bakery, one from thefinance company, a lovely little card from
Bertie's Bicycle Shop in the shape ofa pump. That one was, and
oh yes, a dandy little poemfrom sam our neighborhood scissor sharpener. I
think I remember that one. Itwent. I've applied my grindstone to shears,
(08:41):
both old and new, but Inever met a scissors one half as
sharp as you. Wasn't that apeachy sentiment for Valentine's Day? Quite amusing,
Yes, but not to you.I'm afraid because you're not in love
with Sam the scissor or ball feedthe bicycles. No, my problem is
boyting the biology. Miss Works.Since we have taken me into your confidence,
(09:05):
I would like to make a suggestion. You must play how do you
say in this country? You mustplay difficult to acquire? Difficult to acquire?
Oh you mean hard to get?Now tell me, tell me the
truth. When mister Boynton ask youfor an engagement, do you ever say
no? Well? No, butit isn't just because of mister Boyton.
(09:28):
I'd hate to disappoint four hundred monkeys. I haven't gone out with him much
lately at all because he do notask you. Well. I like that.
I am glad, Miss Works.There's one way to get a man
interested that never fails. You mustmake him jell out. I've tried that,
(09:50):
mister le Blanche, but he justdoesn't jell out very easily. Ah.
Yes, but you've tried it onlyonce. That is not enough.
How do the big American advertising iswork? A repetition over and over the
same thing. What did you hearon the radio all the time, smoke
curbin, smoke curbet. If youwere pretty soften enough, you know what
(10:18):
happens. Yeah, Jack gets prettyburned up. Now, missus Leblane,
I'm afraid mister Boynton is too wrappedup in a frog to pay any attention
to me. Oh, but ofcourse I forget monsieur le frog. You
know, in France we have aproverb luciamo curled dumb, a parthon grenade
translation. The way to a man'sheart is towards frog. I don't see
(10:46):
what it happens. It's simple,really. Here you have a man with
his little pete Mosieur le frog,and here you have a woman with her
pet, Mademoiselle la frog. Nowwe convince the man that monsieurle frog is
lonesome. And where can this poorlittle frog find companionship with Mademoise a love
frog? And when the two littlefrogs go together, where are the man
(11:09):
and the woman pricing junior beds fortadpoles? No, no, miss Books,
no, the man and the womanare also together. Now you know,
miss Books, what you have todo to get mister boyn turns to
be a plastial dog. No,yes, I've got to build a better
frog trap. Look, mister lafrog le Blanche, this idea is a
(11:33):
little bit I'm coming, miss brooksAh, you look better already, hello,
Walter, Mister Leblanche is quite anidea, man. We were just
discussing a really fantastic scheme, notonly fantastic, but ridiculous and absurd.
Walter. Yes, miss brook rundown to Peterson's Pet shop and get me
a female frog. On The swiftstarring Eve Arden will continue in just a

Walder my last dollar to buy afemale frog, and while he was out
getting it, I took advantage ofa free period to visit mister Boynton in
his laboratory. Hello, mister Boyton, Hello, Miss Brooks. I just
dropped in to say hello mister Barton. Hello. Well to buy mister Barton
(13:41):
Oh, don't go yet. I'vejust been examining McDougall. You know,
my frog. He's got me alittle worried way off his feet, and
we'll look at him. I shouldthink you guys pop up more than usual.
What did you say? I said, don't you think his eyes pop
out more than usual? Yes?For a minute I thought he was Eddie
(14:03):
Candor II Mac. Of course,you know what's wrong with Mac, don't
you? Uh no, miss Brooks, I don't. Well, it's getting
very close to spring, and it'sjust, after all, you raised him
from a tadpole, and it's onlynatural that you should still think of him
as your baby. But he's abig boy. Now, what do you
mean, miss Brooks? Oh,just this, mister Boyton. Did it
(14:26):
ever occur to you that Mac getslonesome all alone in that cage? Oh?
I let him out of a cage. Quite often. He hops all
over the lab. But what goodis that he hasn't got any friends here?
I don't know. There are alwaysa number of guinea pigs around.
Of course he doesn't pay much attentionto them. Well, naturally, guinea
pigs make fine friends for other guineapigs. A frog might crave a different
kind of companionship, or what aboutme? I'm very close to mcgogle,
(14:48):
I've done his constant companion. IfI were a frog, I don't think
i'd consider that the ideal arrangement either. Now I think i'd want something a
little more frog like. What areyou getting at this? Brook Look?
Did you ever sit down and tellmcdoodle about the birds and bees? What
does he want with birds and bees? He won't even make friends with guinea
pigs. Well, let me putit this way, Missus Davis, my
(15:11):
landlady has a cat named Minerva.Now around this time of the year,
Minerva keeps us both awake half thenight with an almost incessant yowling. Or
if you tried giving her a saucerof milk, that's not what she's yowling
about, mister bonho milks. Yes, I know, and believe me,
if I thought it would quiet herdown, I'd give her an autograph picture
(15:33):
of Elsie the Cow. But itwon't. She's yowling because she's lonely.
Well, Missus Brooks, I didn'tknow you were so aware of these biological
manifestations. Where did you learn allthis? My mama done told me.
I found out about a lot ofthings since I've acquired my pet frog.
(15:54):
Pet female frog, that is,you have a pet frog, Miss Brooks.
What's her name? Her name?Uh, Milly Millie? Yes,
from the picture of the mating ofMilly. Now she's offully cute too,
right, you take the Max almostunderstood what you were talking about. Well,
don't think for a minute he doesn't. What do you say, Mac?
Would you like to come over andplay with Milly this afternoon? Today?
(16:18):
You are a man frog. Ohthis is amazing, Miss Brooks.
Looking you talk mind, I'd liketo ask you if shine up your hope
chest Milly, here it comes.I'd like to ask you, miss Brooks,
how about a double date, thatis, if you if it isn't
too much trouble, shall we saymy place for tea splendid Just bring a
pogo stick in a deck of cards, mister Barnham, a pulgo stick and
(16:41):
cards. Yes, while Mac andMilly played, gen you and I can
have a hopping contest. Excuse me? Could you come over here to the
door a minute, Miss Brooks,I've got to get to my next class.
Oh, certainly, Walter, I'lljust be a minute, mister Barnton,
did you get it, Walterer?Yes, in this paper, badness
Brooks here, it's okay. Ihope it works in this Brooks. Well,
(17:02):
i'll see you in English. What'sin the bag, miss Brooks?
This bag? Oh, just aroasty sandwich Walter brought me. It's a
pretty active one. Look out it. It's falling out of the bag here
he let me see that. Yeah, I've got him. Oh, miss
Brooks, he'll realize what you've gothere. Sure an frog. I didn't
want to mention it in front ofMac until we got home. But this
(17:25):
is a male frog. You canalways tell because in the species demorphic notis
from West Africa. There's a veryapparent demorphism and the dentisial. The male's
being provided with a series of largeserrated teeth in the lower jaw, which
in the female is dentialss. Well, flop me with a wet lily pad.
Excuse me, it's the boy andI've got to be running along now,
(17:47):
Why miss Brooks, I've got tosee a boy about a frog here
here, I'll put it back inthe bag for you. Now just hold
the top tighter and he won't getaway. Again. I still don't comprehend
why you got this male frog.Well, I didn't know how you and
Google would react to the idea ofkeeping Millie company, so I thought i'd
play safe and get this one too. I don't think Mac likes the idea
very much. Don't be jealous,Mac, let him live his own lives.
(18:11):
Weeks better not come over this afternoon, Miss Brooks I'm afraid it could
only confuse Mac. Look, misterBoynton, I don't care if a frog
wants to play hard to get,but there's something i'd like you to remember.
What's that, Miss Brooks? Well. I don't want to sound too
much like an English teacher, butwhen one plays hard to get too often,
one sometimes don't get God. I'lljust take this frog into my room
(18:37):
and see how water happened to makesuch a I've been looking all over for
you, Missus Davis. What areyou doing in the hallowed halls of Madison
High Well? I know how you'vebeen waiting for a Valentine cause for mister
Boyne, and I just had totell you that all hope isn't lost.
But today is Friday, Missus Davis. That's just it's conning some mail team
this morning that should have been deliveredMonday. A Valentine. No, a
(18:57):
bill from the gas company. Nowthat's the nicest bit of sentiments. And
Sam's scissors. They say that ifwe don't tell it immediately, they'll shut
off the gas. Just my luckwith mister Boyhan coming over for tea.
It couldn't be the electric company promisingto shut off all the light no time,
and I'm short some money, orI wouldn't bother you in school like
(19:19):
this. You know, Minerva costsme a lot lately with her sticis diet.
No. Just how much do youneed, missus Davis? Real?
If you'll forgive a slang expression,one green bag will do it. I
just haven't have one on me.He's in this bag here. Don't look
so alarmed, Missus Davis. I'mnot cracking up completely. Look, just
take this frog back to Peterson's Petshop and they'll refund my dollar. I'll
(19:41):
explain why I bought the frog later. You don't have to explain anything to
me, Commie. If you wanta frog for a pet, it's perfectly
all right. But why are yougiving it back to keep the gas on?
For one thing? Besides it's amale frog, and I've got to
have a female. Will you don'thave to send any money for that.
I'll get you a female frog inthe park. I never thought of that.
I'd certainly appreciated, missus Davis.Would you bring it back with you
(20:03):
after you've paid the gas bill?Pleasantly? Connie and I just knew that
you'll be very happy together, andso class you were to have these compositions
ready by next Tuesday. That's theend of the period. Class dismissed except
(20:23):
Walter Denton's come up to my desk. Walter, Oh, I'm glad you
asked me, miss Brooks. Iwanted to explain about that froud. You
see, mister Peterson was out tolunch when I got to the pet shop,
so I got you one out ofthe park pond. But was it
all right? I mean, wasshe a girl? No, Walter,
she was a boy with big serratedteeth in her lower jaw. And what
about the dollar I gave you?Oh, here it is, miss Rooks.
(20:45):
I didn't have time to give itto you before. Thanks Walter.
That'll be awesome. Now. ThenI better get over to mister Kunsman's office
and make my payment on that Heather. Oh, here, I am Connie
hill O Walter, Missus Davis.So i'm missus Davis. We will,
But you think, Connie, misterPeterson didn't sell Walter that frog at all,
I know, Missus Davis, buthe said it was a very good
specimen and traded me a lovely femaletolim. And instead of giving us any
(21:10):
money, he promised that when ourfrog becomes a husband, we'll get the
pick of uditors. I can hardlywait. But where's the female frog?
Oh? I had that in thepaper bag and it seems very insecure.
So I put the frog in thedesk across the hall. Nobody saw me
across the hall. But that's misterComplin's office. Missus Davis, who wait
(21:30):
right here? And if I'm notback in five minutes, call the coroner.
How what is it come in?Oh it's you, Miss Brooks.
Please transact whatever business you have inthis office in a hurry. I've got
an appointment with the doctor. Thedoctor. What's the matter, mister concorce.
Oh, just to check up alot of nonsense, if you ask
(21:51):
me. My wife's been telling himall sorts of foolishness about the state of
my nerves to hear her tell it. I've not only got the world's highest
blood pressure, but I'm jumped,me anxious overall, and I'm ill tempered.
(22:12):
Now what is it you want?I just want to give you a
dollar towards the heater I accidentally injured. Here. Oh, let's sit down
for a minute. I'll give youa receipt. I've got a regular Board
of Education receipt book around here somewhere. But mister Conklin, you're a desk
r. Miss Brooks, don't tellme where I keep my things. Of
course, it's in the desk drawthat Tina books should be right over here,
(22:34):
next to this bluff. That's funny. Oh here it is over by
this frog. Hello little frog,and miss Brooks. It won't take a
moment to get the receipt. Hellolittle frog, missus frog? Where did
(23:03):
this monstrous Do you know anything aboutthis horrible creak? How did this?
Mister Comlin, remember the world's highestblood pressure? Come to mind? There?
What is this frog going in mydesk? Calm down, mister conklin.
Our this isn't the only school that'sovercrowded. I thought you'd never get
(23:26):
home from school, Connie, howlong did mister Conklin stand bowling you off?
No, it seemed like ours,but actually it was only a few
minutes. You should have been therewhen mister Conklin and Milly here faced each
other across his death drawer. Poorthing, her heart hasn't stopped beating yet,
neither as yours. Connie. You'reas jumpy as Minerva. Are you
sure? Mister Boyton said he'd beover fifteen? Oh, definitely, Missus
(23:48):
Davis. I told him all abouthow lonely Minerva was and compared her to
McDougall. So he's bringing Mac overto meet Milly. It's the first time
in weeks we've had a date awayfrom the zoo. That's mister. Now
go make the tea, Toney,and you receive him. Oh all right,
Missus Davis coming. Well, it'snice to see you boys. Come
(24:08):
in. Let's go into the livingroom. Thank you, Miss Brooks.
Here's something for Milly. It's fromMcDougall. Oh, I'll open it for
her. Well, wasn't that thoughtfulof mac? Milly? Just what you
needed. The clump of wilted lettershere, I'll put it in this little
box I keep her in. Ooh, I guess Mac wants to see what
(24:30):
Milly looks like. Oh, ofcourse, here, just hold him up.
There we are ooh ooh she likeshim. But Miss Brooks, didn't
you say you had a cat onthe premises? That's right, Minerva.
She usually sleeps in the piano duringthe day. Hear Minerva come out of
the piano. Oh, well,she'll probably wake up in a little while.
(24:52):
Sit down, mister Barton. Ohbefore I do, don't you want
to open this big box for me? Well, what in the world can
this be? It's a cat,Miss Brooks, and I brought him over
to keep Minerva company. Yeah,well, here comes Minerva. Now like
