Olgate Dental cream to clean your breath while you clean
your teeth and help stop tooth decay. And Bluster Cream
shampoo for soft, glamorous.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Caressible hair.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Bring you our Miss Brooks, Darring Eve Arden.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
It's time once again for another comedy episode of our
Miss Brooks under the direction of our Lois Well. Most
of us have already made our plans for celebrating Thanksgiving,
but our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School,
hadn't given it much thought up until last Friday morning,
when she sat down to breakfast with her Landlady.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Well, it's only six more days so Thanksgiving, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
I can hardly believe it, Connie. A whole year has
gone by since last Thanksgiving, Isn't it awful?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
The years do that every year.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
It seems like yesterday that I was preparing our last
Thanksgiving dinner. We didn't have very much money to stand
on our shopping, but we celebrated just the same.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'll never forget that meal, Missus Davis, A horrow stuffed pepper.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I feel very badly about not being able to spend
Thanksgiving with you this year, Connie, but I've accepted an
invitation for my sister Angela.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Oh that's all right, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
I'd ask you to join me in her place, but
she hasn't been at all well lately, so we're just
having the immediate family, my brother Victor and myself.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Oh poor Angela.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
It seems the older she gets, the more absent minded
she gets.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Yes, you mentioned it to me, Missus Davis.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Lately she's been worse than ever.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
While sometimes she can be talking right along and suddenly
right in the middle of a sentence.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yes, right in the middle of a sentence.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Right in the middle of a sentence, right in the
middle of a sentence.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Work, right in the middle of a sentence. Whatt you've
been seeing a little too much of Angela? Angela, she's
your brother Victor's absent minded sister. Don't worry about my holiday,
Missus Davis. I'll get my pearly teeth into something on
(02:14):
Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
How about mister Boynton.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yum yum you he's spending the day with him. Well,
he hasn't asked me as yet, but I'll toss him
a hint at school today.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I'm certain that he'll invite you out, Connie, and then
you can be sure of your turkey and all the trimmings.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I don't know about the turkey, but if mister Boyton
and I eat out, I'm a sinch to take my
usual trimming.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Does mister Boyton always insist on going Dutch?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Connie?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I wouldn't say that, Missus Davis. It's just a coincidence
that I'm buying him a pair of wooden shoes for Christmas.
But do I worry about it now? As Madison's star athlete,
Stretched Nodgrass told me in English class, the day live
good in the present the future. Never done nothing to nobody.
(03:07):
A Stretch is a nice kid, though he seemed genuinely
concerned about my spending Thanksgiving alone. He told me he
would have asked me to his home, but his folks
are going out of town for the weekend with the Dentons.
Oh that must be Walter. Now he's driving me down
to school.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Coming, Walder, I'll tear off the table and get started
on the dishes.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
Honey, say hello devoter for me.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
All right, Missus Davis, come on in, Walter.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
I step over this threshold with fear intrepidation.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
What do you mean?
Speaker 10 (03:38):
I am the editor in chief of the Madison monitor. True, true, well,
I made the mistake of letting Stretch Notdgrass set up
some of the type yesterday, and he sneaked nied.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
Him into the personal column.
Speaker 10 (03:50):
That cannot but be a source of great mortification to
someone very near and dear to both our hearts who
you none other?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I got a copy with me.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
Look at this paragraph, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Let's see it to who it may concern. That's Stretch,
all right. It says it is pitiful to be alone
on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
If there is one way how people should show their.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Real thanksgivingness, it is by sharing their dinner with some poor,
unfortunate fellow human person who is alone.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
I'm not mentioning any names.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh well, that's a relief.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Keep reading, not mentioning any names.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
If somebody wants to share his or her meal with
this lonely human person, all you have to do is
walk up and say you can have Thanksgiving dinner with me,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Books, isn't that awful? Are you gonna punish Stretch?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I'm not making any snap judgments, Walter. First, let's see
if this ad brings any resis.
Speaker 11 (05:10):
Excuse me, miss Brooks, but I'd like to talk to
you before you go into your classroom.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
I think that might be arranged, mister Bington.
Speaker 11 (05:16):
I just read this rather peculiar notice in the school paper,
and I wondered.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Oh, that's a little prank that stretch played on me,
mister Boynton. Just pay a lot of attention to it.
Speaker 11 (05:28):
When I read it, Miss Brooks, I made up my
mind I'd be the first one to talk to you
about it.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Really, How nice, mister Briton.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
It isn't easy to be alone on Thanksgiving on a holiday, No,
You're so right.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Many is a Thanksgiving dinner. I've eaten alone.
Speaker 11 (05:42):
But when I saw that notice in the paper, I
said to myself, by George Philip Boyton.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I didn't know your name was George Philip Boynton.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It is, and that's just an expression I use.
Speaker 11 (06:01):
As I was saying, I said to myself, this is
one Thanksgiving you don't have to eat alone. Now, what
I want to ask you isn't easy for me, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Maybe I can help. I promise not to order anything
over a dollar fifty.
Speaker 11 (06:19):
Since I saw that paragraph and the monitor, I wondered,
if well, if.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I'll make it a dollar even and I'll leave the tip.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Please, mister Boynton, just ask me what you want to
all right?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I will good, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
If that notice brings you more than one invitation to dinner,
could I make use of the extra one.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
You wanted to see me?
Speaker 12 (06:53):
Mister Conklin, Yes, Miss Brooks, sit down. Won't you please
take this leather chair by my desk?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's it?
Speaker 13 (07:00):
Are you nice and comfye?
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Yes, sir, I'm fine? But how are you.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
Splendid thanks This is the time of year when we
should all be imbued with the true thanksgiving spirit.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's why I've summoned you to my office, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (07:16):
To tell you that, in spite of the inconveniences you
have wreaked upon me, I harbor no ill will.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Well, that's very nice to hear, mister Conklin. I have
been the source of annoyance to you on occasion. I
suppose that I.
Speaker 12 (07:29):
Am thankful for everything that's happened to me in the
past year. Take the time you drop that typewriter on
my toe, I just give thanks that it didn't land
higher and fracture my whole foot.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
That was careful of me, wasn't it.
Speaker 11 (07:48):
Then?
Speaker 12 (07:48):
When I think back to the time you stepped on
my eyeglasses and crushed them.
Speaker 13 (07:52):
I give thanks that they weren't on my nose at
the time.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
But my main purpose in.
Speaker 12 (08:00):
Calling you here is to inform you that I have
read the notice in this morning's monitor.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Oh that's just a joke, mister Conklin. It was written
by one of the pupils in my English class.
Speaker 12 (08:09):
Yes, I could tell from its construction. However, I want
you to know, miss Brooks, that I was.
Speaker 13 (08:17):
Quite touched by that item, the.
Speaker 12 (08:19):
More so since I too will be all alone this Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But what about your daughter and missus.
Speaker 12 (08:25):
Complan that they're spending the day with Harriet's grandmother, my
wife's dear mother. We asked there and join us for
the holiday, but she lives almost one hundred miles away,
and she thinks she's got high blood pressure or something.
So nothing would do but that Harriet and Martha visit
her bless her crotchety old high.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
But why aren't you going along?
Speaker 12 (08:49):
What me make a trip like that with my blood pressure?
The doctor has absolutely forbidden it. In any event, when
I read that.
Speaker 13 (08:57):
Notice, Miss Brooks, a thought occurred to me which might make.
Speaker 12 (09:00):
Thanksgiving more enjoyable for both of us, both of us. Yes, yes,
since we're both going to be alone, I'd like to
ask you that is, I wonder if you'd what.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I have to say isn't easy for me, Miss Brooks,
maybe I can help. I promise not to order anything
over a dollar fifty.
Speaker 12 (09:21):
Loneliness can do more to undermine a person's morale than
almost anything.
Speaker 13 (09:25):
And well, if you'd that is, if possible.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
I'll make it a dollar and I'll leave the tip.
Speaker 13 (09:33):
Please don't misunderstand, miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
What I want to ask you.
Speaker 12 (09:36):
Is, well, if that notice brings you more than one invitation,
could I make.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Use of the extra water?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Why should you be an exception?
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Of course, mister Conklin. Now, if you'll excuse me, sir,
I've got to get to my classroom very well.
Speaker 13 (09:53):
You may go, be sure and keep me a prize
of all results, Miss.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Brook Yes, sir, I'm sure we'll be pelted with turkey
dinners spirit of Thanksgiving. Are you comfy, Miss Brooks? Pick
this chair, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 14 (10:07):
Of all the by Miss Brooks, I see that you
just came out of Daddy's office.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Is he very disgruntled this morning?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
No, Harriet, he's not grumpling any louder than usual. He
does seem a bit put out at having to eat
Thanksgiving dinner alone.
Speaker 14 (10:21):
Oh, but he's not going to Grandmother's coming down to
our place after all.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
We're going to surprise Daddy.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Oh that should do it.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
He's so sent a metal about holidays. Now he'll be
able to do his Thanksgiving carving just like always. It'll
be loads of fun.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I've already invited Walter Danton over good. I can't think
of anyone your father would rather carve.
Speaker 14 (10:46):
I know he's not crazy about Walder, but during the
holiday season, Daddy's always a little more mellow.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I'm going to do some of the shopping today. Mother
gave me five dollars for a turkey.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That doesn't seem like much, Harriet, how big a turkey
are you planning? I'm getting, oh, just a nice eight pounder.
But will that be enough to go around? Mister Boyton's
a pretty big eater, you.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Know, mister Boynton. But he'll be eating with you, won't he?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
He certainly will. And at what better place could he
join me for Thanksgiving dinner than in the warm confines
of your cozy dining room.
Speaker 14 (11:19):
I would like to invite you both, Miss Brooks. But
I've only got this five dollars. That's all Mother said
to spend.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Tell you what, Harriet, Give me the five dollars and
I'll see that we get a big enough turkey for
all of us.
Speaker 14 (11:31):
Well, if you really want to come, miss Brooks, I'd
certainly like to have you, and I'm sure mother would too.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
But there have been times when you and daddy.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Don't you see, Harriet, if Walter's coming, you will be
doing your daddy a good turn by inviting me.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Oh, how do you mean, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 7 (11:46):
With both of us, there will be an antidote for
each other.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Brush your teeth with.
Speaker 13 (12:01):
Cold Gates Coldgate dentel cream.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
They cleaned your breath water toothpaste by clean your teeth.
Coldgate toothpaste clean your breath water toothpaste by cleaner tea.
Coldgate nettle cream cleaned your breath while it cleans your teeth.
And the cold gateway stop tooth decay best.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
More than two years research showed the cold gateway of
brushing teeth right after eating helped stop more decay for
more people than.
Speaker 13 (12:29):
Ever before reported in Deennifrie history.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yes, the cold gateways stop tooth decay best, better than
any other home method of oral hygiene.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
No other dentifrie ammoniated or not, has proof of such results.
And you should know that Colgates, while not mentioned by name,
was the one and only toothpaste used in the research
on tooth decay recently reported.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
In Reader's Digest.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
So always follow the cold gateway to clean your breath
while you clean your teeth and stop tooth decay.
Speaker 12 (13:00):
Yes, bre'sh your teeth and cold Gates gold gated of green.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Clean cap water, toothpaste. Water clean your teeth, and.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
The coal gateway stops tooth decayed best.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Well.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
When lunch period arrived, as luck and I would have it,
mister Boynton brought his tray right to my table in
the cafeteria. In spite of the fact that he had
a nice lunch before him. He didn't begin eating, but
sat with his fork poised and stared into my eyes
with a deep and absorbing emotion. It was a terribly
(13:42):
romantic moment as mister Boyton leaned across the table, and
then the voice, choked with passion, said.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Get any extra invites to Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
No, and get your fork out of my cottage cheese.
Speaker 11 (14:00):
Sorry, I was just wondering about that notice in the monitor.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Well you can forget about the notice, mister Barton. I've
wrangled us both in invitation to join the Conklans for
the holiday.
Speaker 11 (14:10):
Well, say that's wonderful, missus. Conklin's a fine cook.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
There's only one catch. We've got exactly five dollars with
which to buy a turkey that'll feed six people.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well, how in the world are we going to do that,
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 7 (14:21):
You and I can chip in another five dollars between us.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
There must be some other way.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Well there isn't, not unless I put up the entire amount,
and I can't unless I pawn my ear rings. Again,
I wouldn't care if I hadn't had my ears pierced.
You had no idea how drafty my lobes get in no.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Better, you won't have to pawn anything.
Speaker 11 (14:51):
There is a way we can get a good sized,
young turkey very reasonably, how.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
By merely eliminating the butcher.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
What do we do buy the turkey from his parents?
Speaker 11 (15:02):
Don't you see, miss Brooks? We have to go after
a live turkey. They're much cheaper than in the stores. Why,
we can probably pick one up for even less than
five dollars.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Well, there's nothing to it, of course not. All we
have to do is find a young turkey who hasn't
learned the value of money.
Speaker 11 (15:18):
Once we get a good one, we can kill it ourselves,
pluck the feathers, clean it, and dress it.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
There must be some other way.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
Believe me, this will work, Miss Brooks. I know a
place about twenty miles from here. Fellow named Tobin has
a turkey farm. We'll drive out after school and see
what he's got.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Say, it might be fun at that, a nice drive
in the country for sure.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
That fresh air will be good for all of us,
all of us, you, me and my pet frog McDougall.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He hasn't fit at all well lately, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
What's the trouble?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He can't seem to sleep.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Maybe he reads too late. I mean, where's he been
sleeping or his.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Usual place on a newspaper in his cage.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Well there's your answer. How can anybody sleep with the
news it's in the paper nowadays?
Speaker 11 (16:11):
Well, old Tobin certainly gave us a nice gobbler for
five dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yes he did, But I still can't get too enthusiastic
about having to execute at ourselves.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
Or you just feel that way because she's a hen turkey.
Tobin seemed quite attached to her too. What was it
he called her.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Again, Bernice?
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Oh, isn't that cute? She knows her name?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh that's nothing. Mac knows his name too.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
You're Frog.
Speaker 11 (16:40):
Of course, his cage is right beside you on the seat.
Just pick it up and call to him.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Oh that's ridiculous, mister Boyne.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
And I'm not going to start any conversations with McDougall. Well,
if you don't mind, I'm putting him in the back
with her niece. There you go, Mac, you can keep
each other company back there.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Oh for Mac, he's been so apathetic from lack of
sleepy he probably won't even notice Bernice from.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
The saying like father, like frog.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Bernice is very interested in Mac. Oh isn't that cute.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
She's got her head right next to his cage.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
What in the world is Mac doing?
Speaker 7 (17:34):
You have just heard the frog's version of a wolf whistle.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's one for the book.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
Mac is definitely smitten by that hen turkey.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
What's going on in the back seat, namous brooks.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Something that should be going on in the front seat.
They're getting better acquainted. I wouldn't be a bit surprised
if he's asking her out to a dance.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
That would be quite a sight. Oh, actually, Bernice is
much too tall for Mac.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
No, I don't know. She's a natural for a barn dance.
Don't see dough now, I ain't bluffing. Dance too hard
and you'll lose your stuffing. Oh, come down, Bernice, I
was just kidding.
Speaker 11 (18:34):
Now that we've got her, miss books, where are we
supposed to take the turkey.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
To the Conklin's backyard. Mister and missus Conklin are attending
a tea party, so it won't spoil mister Conklin's surprise.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Will Harriet be there to give us a hand?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Uh huh, so will Walter. He's bringing his axe. How
do you like that she can spell?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Too careful with his crap, Walt? It is a slat
loose on the side.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
Yeah, I got it, mister Boyton. Then now let's sit
it down in the driveway.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
What a wonderful turkey.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Sorry, Mac, you'll have to wait in the car.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
He's a beauty, all right, absolutely inspiring. Oh, what a
perfect combination.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
The lovely, graceful neck of a turkey and my trusty
boy scout hatchet on.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
A charming thought. You've been seeing too many kid shows
on television. But if it has to be done, the
quicker the better.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Right, mus Brooks want a blindfold turkey?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
No, but I do.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
Wings while If he's heading for the house, Miss Brooks,
do something.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
You look at me. I'm on her side.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
She's going through the dining room window. What made her
do that?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Maybe she wants to try on one of the platters. Beside,
we've got.
Speaker 14 (20:04):
To get her out of there before Daddy comes home.
We want this to be a surprise. Come on in
the side door.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Where could she have gone?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
She doesn't seem to be in the dining room anymore.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Maybe she went into daddy's study.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
You look in there, Harriet and Walter. You try the kitchen,
but where are you gonna look? I'll take the closet
with mister barn You kids, go ahead, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You don't think the turkey really went into the classic?
Do you?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Who knows?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
It shouldn't take us more than twenty minutes to find out.
Speaker 14 (20:44):
I think the turkey's definitely in this study somewhere.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Take a look behind the couch, Walter.
Speaker 10 (20:48):
Okay, Harriet, I'll sneak up on the little beauty with
the stealth of a barefoot pilgrim.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
That might be Daddy. He always forgets his key. Walter,
you stay put behind that couch. Mister Boynton, follow me.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Where are you going to hide us?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
In this clothes closet right across the hall?
Speaker 12 (21:05):
Quick?
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Miss Brooks, get.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
In, okay, be you right there?
Speaker 12 (21:10):
Hello, Daddy got my key again, Harriet Choy's mother. She's
doing some shopping for tonight for dinner. Oh, don't mention
that word. I ate so much at that confounded tea
potty that I can hardly breathe. I'm going into my
study and lie down on the couch for a while.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
But but you can't.
Speaker 14 (21:24):
I mean, you know what nightmares you get when you
go to sleep after eating. Remember the time you thought
there were bats in your bedroom?
Speaker 12 (21:33):
That was after I saw last weekend. I don't fuss
around me, child. I can hardly keep my eyes open.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
But Daddy, wouldn't the bedroom be more comfortable?
Speaker 13 (21:42):
I'd never make it up the stairs, Harriet. Just call
me in an hour.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Oh, dear miss Brooks, Mister Boynton, come out of the closet.
Go away.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Did I hear you find to say he was going
to take a nap in the study? How are you?
Speaker 6 (22:02):
That's right, mister Boyton. And I'm almost positive the turkey's
in there.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Oh, we can't be sure. I'm going to look around
the back of the house.
Speaker 14 (22:09):
Okay, mister Boyton. Miss Brooks, let's tip to up to
the study door. Listen, she's asleep already, Thank goodness.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Well, let's open the door. Then take another peek, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
The turkey just came out of that closet. She's walking
towards the couch.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Now he's starting to wake up.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Daddy's looking at the turkey.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Now the turkey's looking at Daddy. I wonder which one
I'll scream first.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
Okay, oh, oh, it's a nightmare. I'd never have tried
to sleep after all that food. Look, turkey, nice turkey.
I know you're not there, but please go away.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You stay here, Harriet. I've got an idea, mister Conklin.
Speaker 13 (23:11):
Hello, mister Conklin, run what this book is that you?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Are you really here?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
What's the difference? As long as it's a nightmare. I
heard you moaning in your sleep sir, and I thought.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
May never mind what you thought?
Speaker 13 (23:23):
Get this turkey out of my study?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
What turkey?
Speaker 13 (23:33):
What turkey?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
What is that?
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Maybe your dream turkey has an allergy.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
The turkey just walked out the door.
Speaker 13 (23:44):
That sneeze came from behind the couch.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
Mister Conklin, Me and my trusty hatchet.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Believe or no, dream.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
Boy, there's no reason to go for circ We've had
our difference in Charlie. What do you know in my heart,
I've always had a warm spot for you.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Don't get hysterical.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Why don't you lie down and close your eyes?
Speaker 9 (24:15):
How can I close my eyes with Wallace handing over.
Speaker 13 (24:17):
Me with a hatchet?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Walter Walter, Who.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
I don't call my doctor when I wake up, I'll
never go to sleep again.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Oh well, I might as well relaxed.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
That's the idea, mister Conklin.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Take a nice long snooze.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
Miss Brooks Bernice just ran out in the backyard and
I beg your pardon, mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I didn't mean to disturb you.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
Oh that's all right, Boon. You will disappear in a
few minutes.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Disappear.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Mister Conklin's been dreaming, and let's keep it that way.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
It's all right, miss Brooks. The turkey ran right into
our garage and I closed the door.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
What's going on here? We just wanted a surprise you, sir,
may I say you have?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Please don't be angry, daddy.
Speaker 14 (25:12):
Miss brook saved us a lot of money by getting
a live turkey.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I only gave her five dollars.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Five dollars, yes, sir, you see you're not going to
be alone after all. That was the surprise Harriet planned.
Not only is your mother in law coming down to Thanksgiving,
but we're all joining you too.
Speaker 12 (25:30):
And now I have a dispatch for you. After the tea,
I saw my doctor and he put me on a
strict vegetarian diet. Harriet and her mother are going to
spend the holidays with Granny as planned. As for you,
Miss Brooks, kindly hand over the five dollars my daughter
gave you, but.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
We paid that for the turkey.
Speaker 13 (25:51):
You can have the turkey. All I want is my money,
but we.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Can't get a refund.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Now the used turkey market is shot to pieces.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
What mister Boyne than I do with an entire turkey?
Speaker 12 (26:03):
That, Miss Brooks is your concern for once I might
add the joke.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Is on you.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Well, I've celebrated some thanksgivings in my time, but this
is the biggest bird I ever received.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Bring you our Miss Brooks, Darring Eve Arden.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
It's time once again for another comedy episode of our
Miss Brooks under the direction of our Lois Well. Most
of us have already made our plans for celebrating Thanksgiving,
but our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School,
hadn't given it much thought up until last Friday morning,
when she sat down to breakfast with her Landlady.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Well, it's only six more days so Thanksgiving, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
I can hardly believe it, Connie. A whole year has
gone by since last Thanksgiving, Isn't it awful?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
The years do that every year.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
It seems like yesterday that I was preparing our last
Thanksgiving dinner. We didn't have very much money to stand
on our shopping, but we celebrated just the same.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'll never forget that meal, Missus Davis, A horrow stuffed pepper.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I feel very badly about not being able to spend
Thanksgiving with you this year, Connie, but I've accepted an
invitation for my sister Angela.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Oh that's all right, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
I'd ask you to join me in her place, but
she hasn't been at all well lately, so we're just
having the immediate family, my brother Victor and myself.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Oh poor Angela.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
It seems the older she gets, the more absent minded
she gets.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Yes, you mentioned it to me, Missus Davis.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Lately she's been worse than ever.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
While sometimes she can be talking right along and suddenly
right in the middle of a sentence.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yes, right in the middle of a sentence.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Right in the middle of a sentence, right in the
middle of a sentence.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Work, right in the middle of a sentence. Whatt you've
been seeing a little too much of Angela? Angela, she's
your brother Victor's absent minded sister. Don't worry about my holiday,
Missus Davis. I'll get my pearly teeth into something on
(02:14):
Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
How about mister Boynton.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yum yum you he's spending the day with him. Well,
he hasn't asked me as yet, but I'll toss him
a hint at school today.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I'm certain that he'll invite you out, Connie, and then
you can be sure of your turkey and all the trimmings.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I don't know about the turkey, but if mister Boyton
and I eat out, I'm a sinch to take my
usual trimming.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Does mister Boyton always insist on going Dutch?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Connie?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I wouldn't say that, Missus Davis. It's just a coincidence
that I'm buying him a pair of wooden shoes for Christmas.
But do I worry about it now? As Madison's star athlete,
Stretched Nodgrass told me in English class, the day live
good in the present the future. Never done nothing to nobody.
(03:07):
A Stretch is a nice kid, though he seemed genuinely
concerned about my spending Thanksgiving alone. He told me he
would have asked me to his home, but his folks
are going out of town for the weekend with the Dentons.
Oh that must be Walter. Now he's driving me down
to school.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Coming, Walder, I'll tear off the table and get started
on the dishes.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
Honey, say hello devoter for me.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
All right, Missus Davis, come on in, Walter.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
I step over this threshold with fear intrepidation.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
What do you mean?
Speaker 10 (03:38):
I am the editor in chief of the Madison monitor. True, true, well,
I made the mistake of letting Stretch Notdgrass set up
some of the type yesterday, and he sneaked nied.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
Him into the personal column.
Speaker 10 (03:50):
That cannot but be a source of great mortification to
someone very near and dear to both our hearts who
you none other?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I got a copy with me.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
Look at this paragraph, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Let's see it to who it may concern. That's Stretch,
all right. It says it is pitiful to be alone
on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
If there is one way how people should show their.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Real thanksgivingness, it is by sharing their dinner with some poor,
unfortunate fellow human person who is alone.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
I'm not mentioning any names.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh well, that's a relief.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Keep reading, not mentioning any names.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
If somebody wants to share his or her meal with
this lonely human person, all you have to do is
walk up and say you can have Thanksgiving dinner with me,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Books, isn't that awful? Are you gonna punish Stretch?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I'm not making any snap judgments, Walter. First, let's see
if this ad brings any resis.
Speaker 11 (05:10):
Excuse me, miss Brooks, but I'd like to talk to
you before you go into your classroom.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
I think that might be arranged, mister Bington.
Speaker 11 (05:16):
I just read this rather peculiar notice in the school paper,
and I wondered.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Oh, that's a little prank that stretch played on me,
mister Boynton. Just pay a lot of attention to it.
Speaker 11 (05:28):
When I read it, Miss Brooks, I made up my
mind I'd be the first one to talk to you
about it.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Really, How nice, mister Briton.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
It isn't easy to be alone on Thanksgiving on a holiday, No,
You're so right.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Many is a Thanksgiving dinner. I've eaten alone.
Speaker 11 (05:42):
But when I saw that notice in the paper, I
said to myself, by George Philip Boyton.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I didn't know your name was George Philip Boynton.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It is, and that's just an expression I use.
Speaker 11 (06:01):
As I was saying, I said to myself, this is
one Thanksgiving you don't have to eat alone. Now, what
I want to ask you isn't easy for me, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Maybe I can help. I promise not to order anything
over a dollar fifty.
Speaker 11 (06:19):
Since I saw that paragraph and the monitor, I wondered,
if well, if.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I'll make it a dollar even and I'll leave the tip.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Please, mister Boynton, just ask me what you want to
all right?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I will good, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
If that notice brings you more than one invitation to dinner,
could I make use of the extra one.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
You wanted to see me?
Speaker 12 (06:53):
Mister Conklin, Yes, Miss Brooks, sit down. Won't you please
take this leather chair by my desk?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's it?
Speaker 13 (07:00):
Are you nice and comfye?
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Yes, sir, I'm fine? But how are you.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
Splendid thanks This is the time of year when we
should all be imbued with the true thanksgiving spirit.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's why I've summoned you to my office, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (07:16):
To tell you that, in spite of the inconveniences you
have wreaked upon me, I harbor no ill will.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Well, that's very nice to hear, mister Conklin. I have
been the source of annoyance to you on occasion. I
suppose that I.
Speaker 12 (07:29):
Am thankful for everything that's happened to me in the
past year. Take the time you drop that typewriter on
my toe, I just give thanks that it didn't land
higher and fracture my whole foot.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
That was careful of me, wasn't it.
Speaker 11 (07:48):
Then?
Speaker 12 (07:48):
When I think back to the time you stepped on
my eyeglasses and crushed them.
Speaker 13 (07:52):
I give thanks that they weren't on my nose at
the time.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
But my main purpose in.
Speaker 12 (08:00):
Calling you here is to inform you that I have
read the notice in this morning's monitor.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Oh that's just a joke, mister Conklin. It was written
by one of the pupils in my English class.
Speaker 12 (08:09):
Yes, I could tell from its construction. However, I want
you to know, miss Brooks, that I was.
Speaker 13 (08:17):
Quite touched by that item, the.
Speaker 12 (08:19):
More so since I too will be all alone this Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But what about your daughter and missus.
Speaker 12 (08:25):
Complan that they're spending the day with Harriet's grandmother, my
wife's dear mother. We asked there and join us for
the holiday, but she lives almost one hundred miles away,
and she thinks she's got high blood pressure or something.
So nothing would do but that Harriet and Martha visit
her bless her crotchety old high.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
But why aren't you going along?
Speaker 12 (08:49):
What me make a trip like that with my blood pressure?
The doctor has absolutely forbidden it. In any event, when
I read that.
Speaker 13 (08:57):
Notice, Miss Brooks, a thought occurred to me which might make.
Speaker 12 (09:00):
Thanksgiving more enjoyable for both of us, both of us. Yes, yes,
since we're both going to be alone, I'd like to
ask you that is, I wonder if you'd what.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I have to say isn't easy for me, Miss Brooks,
maybe I can help. I promise not to order anything
over a dollar fifty.
Speaker 12 (09:21):
Loneliness can do more to undermine a person's morale than
almost anything.
Speaker 13 (09:25):
And well, if you'd that is, if possible.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
I'll make it a dollar and I'll leave the tip.
Speaker 13 (09:33):
Please don't misunderstand, miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
What I want to ask you.
Speaker 12 (09:36):
Is, well, if that notice brings you more than one invitation,
could I make.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Use of the extra water?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Why should you be an exception?
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Of course, mister Conklin. Now, if you'll excuse me, sir,
I've got to get to my classroom very well.
Speaker 13 (09:53):
You may go, be sure and keep me a prize
of all results, Miss.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Brook Yes, sir, I'm sure we'll be pelted with turkey
dinners spirit of Thanksgiving. Are you comfy, Miss Brooks? Pick
this chair, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 14 (10:07):
Of all the by Miss Brooks, I see that you
just came out of Daddy's office.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Is he very disgruntled this morning?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
No, Harriet, he's not grumpling any louder than usual. He
does seem a bit put out at having to eat
Thanksgiving dinner alone.
Speaker 14 (10:21):
Oh, but he's not going to Grandmother's coming down to
our place after all.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
We're going to surprise Daddy.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Oh that should do it.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
He's so sent a metal about holidays. Now he'll be
able to do his Thanksgiving carving just like always. It'll
be loads of fun.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I've already invited Walter Danton over good. I can't think
of anyone your father would rather carve.
Speaker 14 (10:46):
I know he's not crazy about Walder, but during the
holiday season, Daddy's always a little more mellow.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I'm going to do some of the shopping today. Mother
gave me five dollars for a turkey.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That doesn't seem like much, Harriet, how big a turkey
are you planning? I'm getting, oh, just a nice eight pounder.
But will that be enough to go around? Mister Boyton's
a pretty big eater, you.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Know, mister Boynton. But he'll be eating with you, won't he?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
He certainly will. And at what better place could he
join me for Thanksgiving dinner than in the warm confines
of your cozy dining room.
Speaker 14 (11:19):
I would like to invite you both, Miss Brooks. But
I've only got this five dollars. That's all Mother said
to spend.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Tell you what, Harriet, Give me the five dollars and
I'll see that we get a big enough turkey for
all of us.
Speaker 14 (11:31):
Well, if you really want to come, miss Brooks, I'd
certainly like to have you, and I'm sure mother would too.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
But there have been times when you and daddy.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Don't you see, Harriet, if Walter's coming, you will be
doing your daddy a good turn by inviting me.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Oh, how do you mean, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 7 (11:46):
With both of us, there will be an antidote for
each other.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Brush your teeth with.
Speaker 13 (12:01):
Cold Gates Coldgate dentel cream.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
They cleaned your breath water toothpaste by clean your teeth.
Coldgate toothpaste clean your breath water toothpaste by cleaner tea.
Coldgate nettle cream cleaned your breath while it cleans your teeth.
And the cold gateway stop tooth decay best.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
More than two years research showed the cold gateway of
brushing teeth right after eating helped stop more decay for
more people than.
Speaker 13 (12:29):
Ever before reported in Deennifrie history.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yes, the cold gateways stop tooth decay best, better than
any other home method of oral hygiene.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
No other dentifrie ammoniated or not, has proof of such results.
And you should know that Colgates, while not mentioned by name,
was the one and only toothpaste used in the research
on tooth decay recently reported.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
In Reader's Digest.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
So always follow the cold gateway to clean your breath
while you clean your teeth and stop tooth decay.
Speaker 12 (13:00):
Yes, bre'sh your teeth and cold Gates gold gated of green.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Clean cap water, toothpaste. Water clean your teeth, and.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
The coal gateway stops tooth decayed best.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Well.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
When lunch period arrived, as luck and I would have it,
mister Boynton brought his tray right to my table in
the cafeteria. In spite of the fact that he had
a nice lunch before him. He didn't begin eating, but
sat with his fork poised and stared into my eyes
with a deep and absorbing emotion. It was a terribly
(13:42):
romantic moment as mister Boyton leaned across the table, and
then the voice, choked with passion, said.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Get any extra invites to Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
No, and get your fork out of my cottage cheese.
Speaker 11 (14:00):
Sorry, I was just wondering about that notice in the monitor.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Well you can forget about the notice, mister Barton. I've
wrangled us both in invitation to join the Conklans for
the holiday.
Speaker 11 (14:10):
Well, say that's wonderful, missus. Conklin's a fine cook.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
There's only one catch. We've got exactly five dollars with
which to buy a turkey that'll feed six people.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well, how in the world are we going to do that,
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 7 (14:21):
You and I can chip in another five dollars between us.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
There must be some other way.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Well there isn't, not unless I put up the entire amount,
and I can't unless I pawn my ear rings. Again,
I wouldn't care if I hadn't had my ears pierced.
You had no idea how drafty my lobes get in no.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Better, you won't have to pawn anything.
Speaker 11 (14:51):
There is a way we can get a good sized,
young turkey very reasonably, how.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
By merely eliminating the butcher.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
What do we do buy the turkey from his parents?
Speaker 11 (15:02):
Don't you see, miss Brooks? We have to go after
a live turkey. They're much cheaper than in the stores. Why,
we can probably pick one up for even less than
five dollars.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Well, there's nothing to it, of course not. All we
have to do is find a young turkey who hasn't
learned the value of money.
Speaker 11 (15:18):
Once we get a good one, we can kill it ourselves,
pluck the feathers, clean it, and dress it.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
There must be some other way.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
Believe me, this will work, Miss Brooks. I know a
place about twenty miles from here. Fellow named Tobin has
a turkey farm. We'll drive out after school and see
what he's got.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Say, it might be fun at that, a nice drive
in the country for sure.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
That fresh air will be good for all of us,
all of us, you, me and my pet frog McDougall.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He hasn't fit at all well lately, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
What's the trouble?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He can't seem to sleep.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Maybe he reads too late. I mean, where's he been
sleeping or his.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Usual place on a newspaper in his cage.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Well there's your answer. How can anybody sleep with the
news it's in the paper nowadays?
Speaker 11 (16:11):
Well, old Tobin certainly gave us a nice gobbler for
five dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yes he did, But I still can't get too enthusiastic
about having to execute at ourselves.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
Or you just feel that way because she's a hen turkey.
Tobin seemed quite attached to her too. What was it
he called her.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Again, Bernice?
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Oh, isn't that cute? She knows her name?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh that's nothing. Mac knows his name too.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
You're Frog.
Speaker 11 (16:40):
Of course, his cage is right beside you on the seat.
Just pick it up and call to him.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Oh that's ridiculous, mister Boyne.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
And I'm not going to start any conversations with McDougall. Well,
if you don't mind, I'm putting him in the back
with her niece. There you go, Mac, you can keep
each other company back there.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Oh for Mac, he's been so apathetic from lack of
sleepy he probably won't even notice Bernice from.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
The saying like father, like frog.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Bernice is very interested in Mac. Oh isn't that cute.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
She's got her head right next to his cage.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
What in the world is Mac doing?
Speaker 7 (17:34):
You have just heard the frog's version of a wolf whistle.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's one for the book.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
Mac is definitely smitten by that hen turkey.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
What's going on in the back seat, namous brooks.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Something that should be going on in the front seat.
They're getting better acquainted. I wouldn't be a bit surprised
if he's asking her out to a dance.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
That would be quite a sight. Oh, actually, Bernice is
much too tall for Mac.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
No, I don't know. She's a natural for a barn dance.
Don't see dough now, I ain't bluffing. Dance too hard
and you'll lose your stuffing. Oh, come down, Bernice, I
was just kidding.
Speaker 11 (18:34):
Now that we've got her, miss books, where are we
supposed to take the turkey.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
To the Conklin's backyard. Mister and missus Conklin are attending
a tea party, so it won't spoil mister Conklin's surprise.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Will Harriet be there to give us a hand?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Uh huh, so will Walter. He's bringing his axe. How
do you like that she can spell?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Too careful with his crap, Walt? It is a slat
loose on the side.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
Yeah, I got it, mister Boyton. Then now let's sit
it down in the driveway.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
What a wonderful turkey.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Sorry, Mac, you'll have to wait in the car.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
He's a beauty, all right, absolutely inspiring. Oh, what a
perfect combination.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
The lovely, graceful neck of a turkey and my trusty
boy scout hatchet on.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
A charming thought. You've been seeing too many kid shows
on television. But if it has to be done, the
quicker the better.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Right, mus Brooks want a blindfold turkey?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
No, but I do.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
Wings while If he's heading for the house, Miss Brooks,
do something.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
You look at me. I'm on her side.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
She's going through the dining room window. What made her
do that?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Maybe she wants to try on one of the platters. Beside,
we've got.
Speaker 14 (20:04):
To get her out of there before Daddy comes home.
We want this to be a surprise. Come on in
the side door.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Where could she have gone?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
She doesn't seem to be in the dining room anymore.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Maybe she went into daddy's study.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
You look in there, Harriet and Walter. You try the kitchen,
but where are you gonna look? I'll take the closet
with mister barn You kids, go ahead, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You don't think the turkey really went into the classic?
Do you?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Who knows?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
It shouldn't take us more than twenty minutes to find out.
Speaker 14 (20:44):
I think the turkey's definitely in this study somewhere.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Take a look behind the couch, Walter.
Speaker 10 (20:48):
Okay, Harriet, I'll sneak up on the little beauty with
the stealth of a barefoot pilgrim.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
That might be Daddy. He always forgets his key. Walter,
you stay put behind that couch. Mister Boynton, follow me.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Where are you going to hide us?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
In this clothes closet right across the hall?
Speaker 12 (21:05):
Quick?
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Miss Brooks, get.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
In, okay, be you right there?
Speaker 12 (21:10):
Hello, Daddy got my key again, Harriet Choy's mother. She's
doing some shopping for tonight for dinner. Oh, don't mention
that word. I ate so much at that confounded tea
potty that I can hardly breathe. I'm going into my
study and lie down on the couch for a while.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
But but you can't.
Speaker 14 (21:24):
I mean, you know what nightmares you get when you
go to sleep after eating. Remember the time you thought
there were bats in your bedroom?
Speaker 12 (21:33):
That was after I saw last weekend. I don't fuss
around me, child. I can hardly keep my eyes open.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
But Daddy, wouldn't the bedroom be more comfortable?
Speaker 13 (21:42):
I'd never make it up the stairs, Harriet. Just call
me in an hour.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Oh, dear miss Brooks, Mister Boynton, come out of the closet.
Go away.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Did I hear you find to say he was going
to take a nap in the study? How are you?
Speaker 6 (22:02):
That's right, mister Boyton. And I'm almost positive the turkey's
in there.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Oh, we can't be sure. I'm going to look around
the back of the house.
Speaker 14 (22:09):
Okay, mister Boyton. Miss Brooks, let's tip to up to
the study door. Listen, she's asleep already, Thank goodness.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Well, let's open the door. Then take another peek, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
The turkey just came out of that closet. She's walking
towards the couch.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Now he's starting to wake up.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Daddy's looking at the turkey.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Now the turkey's looking at Daddy. I wonder which one
I'll scream first.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
Okay, oh, oh, it's a nightmare. I'd never have tried
to sleep after all that food. Look, turkey, nice turkey.
I know you're not there, but please go away.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You stay here, Harriet. I've got an idea, mister Conklin.
Speaker 13 (23:11):
Hello, mister Conklin, run what this book is that you?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Are you really here?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
What's the difference? As long as it's a nightmare. I
heard you moaning in your sleep sir, and I thought.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
May never mind what you thought?
Speaker 13 (23:23):
Get this turkey out of my study?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
What turkey?
Speaker 13 (23:33):
What turkey?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
What is that?
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Maybe your dream turkey has an allergy.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
The turkey just walked out the door.
Speaker 13 (23:44):
That sneeze came from behind the couch.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
Mister Conklin, Me and my trusty hatchet.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Believe or no, dream.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
Boy, there's no reason to go for circ We've had
our difference in Charlie. What do you know in my heart,
I've always had a warm spot for you.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Don't get hysterical.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Why don't you lie down and close your eyes?
Speaker 9 (24:15):
How can I close my eyes with Wallace handing over.
Speaker 13 (24:17):
Me with a hatchet?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Walter Walter, Who.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
I don't call my doctor when I wake up, I'll
never go to sleep again.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Oh well, I might as well relaxed.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
That's the idea, mister Conklin.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Take a nice long snooze.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
Miss Brooks Bernice just ran out in the backyard and
I beg your pardon, mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I didn't mean to disturb you.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
Oh that's all right, Boon. You will disappear in a
few minutes.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Disappear.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Mister Conklin's been dreaming, and let's keep it that way.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
It's all right, miss Brooks. The turkey ran right into
our garage and I closed the door.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
What's going on here? We just wanted a surprise you, sir,
may I say you have?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Please don't be angry, daddy.
Speaker 14 (25:12):
Miss brook saved us a lot of money by getting
a live turkey.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I only gave her five dollars.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Five dollars, yes, sir, you see you're not going to
be alone after all. That was the surprise Harriet planned.
Not only is your mother in law coming down to Thanksgiving,
but we're all joining you too.
Speaker 12 (25:30):
And now I have a dispatch for you. After the tea,
I saw my doctor and he put me on a
strict vegetarian diet. Harriet and her mother are going to
spend the holidays with Granny as planned. As for you,
Miss Brooks, kindly hand over the five dollars my daughter
gave you, but.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
We paid that for the turkey.
Speaker 13 (25:51):
You can have the turkey. All I want is my money,
but we.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Can't get a refund.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Now the used turkey market is shot to pieces.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
What mister Boyne than I do with an entire turkey?
Speaker 12 (26:03):
That, Miss Brooks is your concern for once I might
add the joke.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Is on you.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Well, I've celebrated some thanksgivings in my time, but this
is the biggest bird I ever received.
