Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hers at Madison High School, and it often does.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
You can get the lowdown from our Miss Brooks, who
teaches English there.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
She always knows which way the wind is blowing.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
The biggest wind usually blows from the office of our
beloved principle, mister Conklin, whenever he directs his huffing and
puffing at me, and he often does.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
All I can.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Do is batten my hatches and yell blow me.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Down, and he often does.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Last Thursday, for example, when we observed Visitor's Day at Madison,
mister Conklin arbitrarily ordered me to spend the noon hour
directing visitors through the school instead of merely wasting my
time eating lunch. Next morning, I answered the phone at
seven o'clock, and once again the voice of the turtle.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Was heard throughout.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The get over to school on the double. I have
a little chow for you, Miss.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Brooks, but mister Conklin, can't it wait until I've had breakfast?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Jothish Well.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
A few minutes later, Walter Denton picked.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Me up and we headed for school.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
Helloa, what a glorious day, Oh what a beautiful morning.
Everything's going my way.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Those pedestrians seem to be going the other way, Walter,
slow down, slow down.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Well, you're not in a hurry to see mister Conklin.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
That's the understatement of the year.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Slower Walter.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
There are more pedestrians coming up or going down, as the.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Case may be.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Boy If there's one thing I can't stand as pedestrians.
So why don't they get a car and defend themselves.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Because I'm looking at school driving on the wrong side
of the street.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
It must be another European. They're all over town, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, evidently you haven't been reading the papers.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
A large group sailed over as a unit to see
America yesterday. Our mayor gave them the keys to the city.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
The way they drive, he must have given them the
keys to a saloon. Now I can understand why there
were so many foreigners rubbernecking in our classrooms on visitors Day,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Now must have been hundreds of them.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
At least my classroom looked like Ellis Island with blackboards.
You know.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
He had a group that included several irishmen, Miss Brooks,
and although most of them were perfect gentlemen, there was
one fellow who told mister Boynton he didn't know the
first thing about teaching biology, while he became so insulting
and right in front of the students that.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Mister Boynton finally had to just kick him out.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
No, I'm not surprised I had the same trouble with
a temperamental frenchwoman. Without provocation, she vehemently ridiculed my teaching
men and then went on to call mister Conklin a
big fat pig, A big fat pig.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
A scream.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
What an old marblehead mister Conklin say when she called
him a fat pig?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, luckily he wasn't there. She merely referred to him
in those terms. But I think it's rude and disrespectful
of you to find the matter amusing, Walter.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
After all, mister Conklin is our principal.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
I'm sorry, miss Brooks, but what did you say when
she called mister Conklin a fat pig?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Nothing? I was laughing so hard, who could talk? Good morning,
mister Conklin at ease. It appears to me you're losing weight.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Well, I'm on sort of a request diet, sir. A
request here, sir, whenever I get a chance to eat,
you request me to do something else. You're calling me
here so early this morning prevented my having breakfast.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
No, no, now, you ought to thank me for helping
you to keep slim my, Dear, If the day should
ever arrive when mister Boynton sums up the courage to
put his arm around you, you wouldn't want to be
fat now with you?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Well, no, but I'd still want something less that he
could get a grip on.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, of course, that isn't the point.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I've been working very hard, mister Thompson, haven't we all?
Speaker 8 (04:37):
Visitor's Day just about knocked me out.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Gad.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
I never saw such weird characters, particularly a Swedish chap
who had the audacity to tell me how to run
my office. Well, I didn't wish to appear rude, so
I gently escorted him to the door and gave him
a healthy boot in the pants calculated to fell an
ars pick him out.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Literally.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
My hunting days at old Rutgers stood me in good stead.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
At Miss Brooks, they didn't.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Call me tricky toes os good for nothing, Barby.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It for me to belittle the talents of your toes
mister complin. But unless you summon me here for something
more urgent than to play.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
This little piggy went to market. I'd like to eat.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh you are impatient, aren't you.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Well, I'll tell you why I summoned you, and then
you may bite me if you wish. Last night, mister
Henry Newton flew in from Washington. Mister Newton happens to
be a distinguished member of the National.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Board of Education, Miss Brooks. And inasmuch as.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
You are faculty advisor to ours papers of the school,
I want you to get out a special edition in
his honor.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's that important.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yes, he is.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
To borrow a rather humorous expression from my old army buddies,
mister Newton is as top brass as a doorknob in the.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I see, And you'd like to polish the doorknobs exactly.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
You will run over to journalism at once and write
a brilliant editorial under the name of ours good Conflict.
In it, you will heap lavish praise on mister Newton
for his sterling achievements.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And outstanding Good morning.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
Well mister Stone.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You know the illustrious head of our Board of Education,
Miss Brooke.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh, certainly, if you excuse me, mister Stone, I've got
to run over to journalism and write a story on Henry.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
Newton, and by all means stick around. I might be
able to contribute some interesting.
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Facts to that story.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh splendid.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
You may state, for example, that mister Newton is a
champion of international unification of teaching methods. Teachers in other
lands simply do not understand our methods, nor do we
understand there perfectly true, what do we have in common
that men of all nations can understand?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Outside of Marilyn Monroe. I can't think of the thing.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
That's rather amusing, Miss Brooks. Is it all good?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yes, sir, she said, outside of.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
You? Yeah, I do more of those tired jokes, Miss Brooks,
you were saying.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
Sam Oh, so strongly does mister Newton advocate the exchanging
of ideas among our teachers and those of other countries
that he flew in from Washington for the sole purpose
of addressing a delegation of school officials and teachers who
are now visiting America intent on studying our teaching methods firsthand.
These dignitaries from Broad included the Honorable Frank McTeague, Madame
(07:47):
Michelle LaBouche.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Well, missus tone If, Miss McTeague and Madame Lebouche should
care to visit our school.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
We'll certainly make them feel at home.
Speaker 9 (07:56):
When they were here yesterday, you and mister Boynton kicked
them out, caer Amber, Oh did you insult our good neighbors,
Miss Brooks, Oh, shut up, Oswood. The chap you insulted
was Eric Stromstad, president of Public School for All Scandinavia.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
Moum Mami kicked him out.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
As I say, they don't call him tricky toes Oswood.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
For now, the injured parties have prevailed upon me to
write a letter of introduction to mister Newton. They intend
to meet him at lunch and officially protest the treatment
they received that your hand, Well, sir, if.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You could perhaps tell mister Need, I can tell him nothing.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
As a member of the National Board, his powers far
exceed mind. You stepped on the toes of his pet project,
and in so doing you may well have committed occupational suicide.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Yeah, you mean he might have our jobs.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
Under similarly grave circumstances. He has forced the dismissals of
many teachers.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Oh teachers.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh well, I'll be sorry to see you and mister
Boynton go.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Miss brooke Wee, mister Conslon.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
As for mister Boynton, his actions were entirely justified.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Mister mctigue insulted him in the presence of his student.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Nevertheless, and as for Madame la Bouchet, while I had
to get rid of her, she was disrupting my classroom.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That is now called you a big fat pig.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The guillotine would be too good for her.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Missus tone, my chivalrous nature compels me to spring to the.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Defense of American womanhood.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
If mister Newton should discharge this poor woman, this poor
teacher you see.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Cringing before you.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
He's been known to fire not only teachers ask good,
but principles as well, principles too.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Only if I should lose my job.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Never mind her, She's just a woman. I'm a married
man with child.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I'm a single girl with nothing.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
The fact remains that you were guilty of shocking misconduct.
Chris Brooks. Osgood. When those foreign dignitaries informed Sir Nwton
of the shabby treatment you extended them, you may rest
assured that heads will roll.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Where are you going, miss Brooks?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
If heads are going to roll, I'll set up mister
Boynton's in the next alley. With the threat of unemployment
hanging over our heads like the sword of Damocles, mister
Boyne and I trudged into the school cafeteria at noon
and joined Walter Denton at his table.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Since none of us was in.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
A conversational mood, we sat there in funereal silence, grimly
scooping up our foods.
Speaker 10 (11:03):
Greeting Helloha, pull up a tombstone and sit down.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Thanks. I wish I were dead.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
All in favor, say I.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
I funny, never thought it could happen to me.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
My dad lost his job once and he was my
age at the time. Funny, I remember Dad telling me
about it.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Son.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
He said, I lost my job, like father, like son.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
Honey, me os good confline. Ten years a high school
principal and now a bum.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Like father like son.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Eh.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Funny to think that at this very moment, those three
dignitaries are having lunch with mister Newton and sealing our
professional doom.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Pretty soon, it'll all be.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Over, Honey's all over now. Mister Stone got back to
me about an hour ago with the information that mister
Newton had just received a telegram from Madame Lebouche. The
Honorable Frank McTeague and Eric Strumstead in it they vilified
us but good vividly recalling the harrowing events of yesterday.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Then mister Newton knows the whole story.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
He does in May Heaven have mercy on us. Newton
that having lunch with him could serve no valid purpose,
but the brutal facts contained in the telegram could speak
for themselves.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
What can we do? Where can we go?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Honny, gosh, gad.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
They say Siberia is lovely at this time of the year.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Perhaps if we could meet those people again and try
to reason with it too late.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Shortly after mister Stone had hung up, Madame le Bouchet
called me. She said, and I quote I and the
messieurs mctigue and Strums that have decided to return to
our homelands where people are cultured, and we are leaving
at once and bombvoyres you big fat pie.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yes, it's all over now we have but to wait
for the official axe to fall.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Well, this is it funny? I wish I were a gorilla.
Eh sounds kind of silly, I guess not to me,
it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I wish every girl were a gorilla.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Then we the weaker sex would have a fighting chance
in this world in which the survival of the fittest
is the rule.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
As gorillas, we'd have power there.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
We'd be foraging for ourselves, growing our own fur coats,
needing nothing but a banana, a coconut, and a place
to hang our tails.
Speaker 11 (14:46):
Uh huh, miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
They also say the booby hatch is lovely this time
of year.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
They'll give me a room.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I'm ready.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Wait a minute, Well, I've got a skin that might
save your next Supposing one of those three dignitaries was
to visit mister Newton at his hotel and act just
as brazen and repulsive as he or she did yesterday,
then the guy might understand why you were forced to
boot him out.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Are you bucking for a padded cell?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Toude?
Speaker 8 (15:16):
And in the first place, Madame le Bouchet told me
all three of them were leaving town at once.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
You know that, mister Conklin, but mister Newton doesn't.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
And besides, it's a sense she's never met them, or
else they wouldn't have asked mister Stone to write a
letter of introduction. Yeah, I'm merely suggesting a little masquerade, sir.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
The heck, with all the costumes we got in Dramatics Club.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
One of you could look Irish or French or anything.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Oh that's preposterous, Walter, Not preposterous, just drastic.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
And if you don't think a situation shut up. If
you don't think a situation like this costs for drastic action.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
Woos, you're fuzz crested up a lip boy masquerade. Indeed,
it's perfectly clear that our only hope lies in mister
Newton's allowing a cooling off period before taking any action.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Time is the great healers.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Excuse me, folks, scattery har Well, I've been taking messages
in your office, and mister Stone's telephoned.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
He said he'd been contacted by mister Newton, who's called.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
An emergency meeting at the board for tomorrow morning. An
emergency meeting, yes, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
He said.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
At that meeting, mister Newton.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Will recommend the summary dismissals of you and mister Boynton and.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Daddy tomorrow morning.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
Funny, gosh, gad.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Funny.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Never thought it could happen to me, Me, a poor
teacher deprived of a livelihood by another woman, a wealthy woman.
At That's how I envied her. The fur coat she
was wearing. She didn't grow at herself. Must have paid
thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
For it at a time like this. That's a strange
thing to envy her. For Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Anyway, you have a for a quart of your own,
not anymore. Last night it woke up and walked back
to the kennel.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
Those members I have named will constitute a quorum at
our board meeting in the morning, Mister Newton, I.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Am not pleased.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Conton Boynton and Miss Brooks have struck a vicious flowd
by efforts in behalf of international goodwill and unity among educators.
Mister Stone, I want the maximum membership.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Of that meeting.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Call everyone very well, mister Newton.
Speaker 9 (17:36):
Excuse me, I'll use the phone in your bedroom.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Bonjeo, monsieur to omit me to make the introduce.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I am Madame Lebouche.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
Ah, what a delightful surprise to meet you. Madame le Bouchet.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You must come in and.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Tell me all about your horrible.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
Experience with Miss Brooks.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
My dear, I am mister Newt.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
You are mister Newton, but I expect to meet a
pleasant looking man. You are a big fat pig, fat, bald,
old and dirty in your pardon, I heard you are
a bachelor, monsieur, and now I can understand why Sucray
(18:23):
Blue such a stupid face?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Who could marry?
Speaker 8 (18:30):
This must be some sort of a joke. Madam, I
have been married to a lovely woman for ten years
and never have I because she probably wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
At you, Kissa, when did you first realize this woman
married you for your money?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
What?
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
See here?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
If these brazen remarks are a sample of what you
gave miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh please do not mention that blockhead of a woman.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
You must discharge miss Brooks at once because I am
insult yesterday, I am in classroom and when I kick.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Her just a moment, Why did you kick her?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Do I got to have a reason. I'd like to know.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Why did you kick miss Brooks?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Because she is a big, fat pig.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
That may be true, but surely she must have said
something of an insinuating or insulting nature to provoke your action.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Oh she did.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
She told me to stop throwing her students out the window.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
You were throwing children out the window, only the small ones,
the big ones.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I couldn't lift.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
My poor friend Eric stromstad he had the same embarrassing
experience with mister Conklin after he kicked mister Comfort.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Just just a moment.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Why did he kick mister complict because he is a
big fat pig.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
And I mean it, Eric and I we do not
like big fat pigs. Now, you take my friend Frank mctigue.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
He kicked mister Boynton.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Why because he is a skinny pig. Mctigue does not
like skinny pigs. So you see, miss Newton, if you
could get it through your thick skull.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
To understand, I'm beginning to understand a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Madam, come in, Yes.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
You've been humany evan.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Eric Strom said, oh no, I am Henry Newton.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Mister Strum said a moment ago. I was shocked to
learn that you kicked mister Conklin yesterday. Conklin, that knuckle headed,
brain less off.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah he kicked him. Good.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
They do not call him tricky toes Eric for nothing,
can you, Eric, I don't believe a beIN Madame LaBouche.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Listen Newton, he you speaking here to make sure you
fire kompling.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You don't fire him.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
A beat is heading the fight now look, I don't
approve a fisty coach.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Mister Strumbstad.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Then the wressel Japanese style.
Speaker 12 (21:31):
You yitsu, you sound.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
Like a yerk.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Shut up.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
It's now perfectly clear to me that you folks were
the belligerents and yesterday's happenings at Madison High you misrepresented
your keys to me. You know what you shated on
your telegram.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
No we do not, monsieur.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You see when we wrote this telegram we are loaded.
Speaker 12 (22:08):
Loading.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
Yeah, yeah, we are drinking. You old goat, old coat, no,
old co.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
This is a little joke I heard on Cookla Friend
and Pierre.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Heaven.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
You people are in safe.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
Regarda I'm Frank mctigue.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I'm mister U.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
The pack may hand to the front of your FACEE
woo mctigue.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
You remember me, Madame Lebouchet.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
And of course this gentleman here with the Alpine jacket
and the bear knees is being a.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Reck Stromstad erics stromstud you.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Well, that's the silliest class.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Whom I ever saw.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
Shut up, you jackass, and if you'll go outrageous demonstration,
I have decided not to press charges against miss Brooks.
Mister Compton and mister Bunton.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
You mean that, monsieur.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Oh this is a terrible blow.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, yeah, we go now, there's.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Nothing wor.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I'm frank MCTI.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Go home.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Mitig you got here five minutes ago.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
What in the world's going on here?
Speaker 9 (23:34):
I made those calls mister Newton and I it's your stone.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Sure Blue you've been.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
He's above Sure Blue again.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Excuse me. I've got to get back to France. I
left the roast in the oven.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
All on there, Miss Brooks, Miss Brooks, and Osgarne, Conklin, Poynton, Denton.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
What's the meaning of this masquerade?
Speaker 8 (24:04):
A masscarrie?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
So come on gang like I say, Siberia is lovely
this time of years. As mister Newton was about to
fire us on the spot, a miracle happened. He received
an acidly phrased telegram from Madame la Bouchet, which so
infuriated the distinguished gent that he gave us his blessings
(24:29):
and sent us on our way. But when mister Boynton
drove me home, I was still so nervous that I
had some difficulty in finding the doorbell.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
What's the madame, Miss Brooks, you need glasses glasses.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Oh no, it's just nerves, mister Boynton. Oh here's the bell.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Missus Davis isn't home, but her sister Angela will let
us in.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Oh hello Connie, mister Boynton. Oh what a day we've had. Angela.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I can imagine I've been terribly worried ever since you
called me a new want to explain your predicament.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Everything worked out okay, thanks to a telegram mister Newton
received from Madame la Bouchet.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yes, it was in the form of a poem.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
It said, I will tell General Dugauld you're the fattest
pig of all.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Why the impish giggle? Angela?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Oh, Madame le Bouchet didn't send that telegram, Connie, I
did you.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
I hoped it might help you out of your predicament.
Speaker 13 (25:30):
Angela, you're a doll that calls for a big kiss.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
You kiss me, hell kill me.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
I need glasses.
Hers at Madison High School, and it often does.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
You can get the lowdown from our Miss Brooks, who
teaches English there.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
She always knows which way the wind is blowing.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
The biggest wind usually blows from the office of our
beloved principle, mister Conklin, whenever he directs his huffing and
puffing at me, and he often does.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
All I can.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Do is batten my hatches and yell blow me.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Down, and he often does.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Last Thursday, for example, when we observed Visitor's Day at Madison,
mister Conklin arbitrarily ordered me to spend the noon hour
directing visitors through the school instead of merely wasting my
time eating lunch. Next morning, I answered the phone at
seven o'clock, and once again the voice of the turtle.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Was heard throughout.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The get over to school on the double. I have
a little chow for you, Miss.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Brooks, but mister Conklin, can't it wait until I've had breakfast?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Jothish Well.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
A few minutes later, Walter Denton picked.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Me up and we headed for school.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
Helloa, what a glorious day, Oh what a beautiful morning.
Everything's going my way.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Those pedestrians seem to be going the other way, Walter,
slow down, slow down.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Well, you're not in a hurry to see mister Conklin.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
That's the understatement of the year.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Slower Walter.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
There are more pedestrians coming up or going down, as the.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Case may be.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Boy If there's one thing I can't stand as pedestrians.
So why don't they get a car and defend themselves.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Because I'm looking at school driving on the wrong side
of the street.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
It must be another European. They're all over town, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, evidently you haven't been reading the papers.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
A large group sailed over as a unit to see
America yesterday. Our mayor gave them the keys to the city.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
The way they drive, he must have given them the
keys to a saloon. Now I can understand why there
were so many foreigners rubbernecking in our classrooms on visitors Day,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Now must have been hundreds of them.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
At least my classroom looked like Ellis Island with blackboards.
You know.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
He had a group that included several irishmen, Miss Brooks,
and although most of them were perfect gentlemen, there was
one fellow who told mister Boynton he didn't know the
first thing about teaching biology, while he became so insulting
and right in front of the students that.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Mister Boynton finally had to just kick him out.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
No, I'm not surprised I had the same trouble with
a temperamental frenchwoman. Without provocation, she vehemently ridiculed my teaching
men and then went on to call mister Conklin a
big fat pig, A big fat pig.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
A scream.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
What an old marblehead mister Conklin say when she called
him a fat pig?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, luckily he wasn't there. She merely referred to him
in those terms. But I think it's rude and disrespectful
of you to find the matter amusing, Walter.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
After all, mister Conklin is our principal.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
I'm sorry, miss Brooks, but what did you say when
she called mister Conklin a fat pig?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Nothing? I was laughing so hard, who could talk? Good morning,
mister Conklin at ease. It appears to me you're losing weight.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Well, I'm on sort of a request diet, sir. A
request here, sir, whenever I get a chance to eat,
you request me to do something else. You're calling me
here so early this morning prevented my having breakfast.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
No, no, now, you ought to thank me for helping
you to keep slim my, Dear, If the day should
ever arrive when mister Boynton sums up the courage to
put his arm around you, you wouldn't want to be
fat now with you?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Well, no, but I'd still want something less that he
could get a grip on.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, of course, that isn't the point.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I've been working very hard, mister Thompson, haven't we all?
Speaker 8 (04:37):
Visitor's Day just about knocked me out.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Gad.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
I never saw such weird characters, particularly a Swedish chap
who had the audacity to tell me how to run
my office. Well, I didn't wish to appear rude, so
I gently escorted him to the door and gave him
a healthy boot in the pants calculated to fell an
ars pick him out.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Literally.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
My hunting days at old Rutgers stood me in good stead.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
At Miss Brooks, they didn't.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Call me tricky toes os good for nothing, Barby.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It for me to belittle the talents of your toes
mister complin. But unless you summon me here for something
more urgent than to play.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
This little piggy went to market. I'd like to eat.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh you are impatient, aren't you.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Well, I'll tell you why I summoned you, and then
you may bite me if you wish. Last night, mister
Henry Newton flew in from Washington. Mister Newton happens to
be a distinguished member of the National.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Board of Education, Miss Brooks. And inasmuch as.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
You are faculty advisor to ours papers of the school,
I want you to get out a special edition in
his honor.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's that important.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yes, he is.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
To borrow a rather humorous expression from my old army buddies,
mister Newton is as top brass as a doorknob in the.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I see, And you'd like to polish the doorknobs exactly.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
You will run over to journalism at once and write
a brilliant editorial under the name of ours good Conflict.
In it, you will heap lavish praise on mister Newton
for his sterling achievements.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And outstanding Good morning.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
Well mister Stone.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You know the illustrious head of our Board of Education,
Miss Brooke.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh, certainly, if you excuse me, mister Stone, I've got
to run over to journalism and write a story on Henry.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
Newton, and by all means stick around. I might be
able to contribute some interesting.
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Facts to that story.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh splendid.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
You may state, for example, that mister Newton is a
champion of international unification of teaching methods. Teachers in other
lands simply do not understand our methods, nor do we
understand there perfectly true, what do we have in common
that men of all nations can understand?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Outside of Marilyn Monroe. I can't think of the thing.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
That's rather amusing, Miss Brooks. Is it all good?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yes, sir, she said, outside of.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
You? Yeah, I do more of those tired jokes, Miss Brooks,
you were saying.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
Sam Oh, so strongly does mister Newton advocate the exchanging
of ideas among our teachers and those of other countries
that he flew in from Washington for the sole purpose
of addressing a delegation of school officials and teachers who
are now visiting America intent on studying our teaching methods firsthand.
These dignitaries from Broad included the Honorable Frank McTeague, Madame
(07:47):
Michelle LaBouche.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Well, missus tone If, Miss McTeague and Madame Lebouche should
care to visit our school.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
We'll certainly make them feel at home.
Speaker 9 (07:56):
When they were here yesterday, you and mister Boynton kicked
them out, caer Amber, Oh did you insult our good neighbors,
Miss Brooks, Oh, shut up, Oswood. The chap you insulted
was Eric Stromstad, president of Public School for All Scandinavia.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
Moum Mami kicked him out.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
As I say, they don't call him tricky toes Oswood.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
For now, the injured parties have prevailed upon me to
write a letter of introduction to mister Newton. They intend
to meet him at lunch and officially protest the treatment
they received that your hand, Well, sir, if.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You could perhaps tell mister Need, I can tell him nothing.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
As a member of the National Board, his powers far
exceed mind. You stepped on the toes of his pet project,
and in so doing you may well have committed occupational suicide.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Yeah, you mean he might have our jobs.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
Under similarly grave circumstances. He has forced the dismissals of
many teachers.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Oh teachers.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh well, I'll be sorry to see you and mister
Boynton go.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Miss brooke Wee, mister Conslon.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
As for mister Boynton, his actions were entirely justified.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Mister mctigue insulted him in the presence of his student.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Nevertheless, and as for Madame la Bouchet, while I had
to get rid of her, she was disrupting my classroom.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That is now called you a big fat pig.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The guillotine would be too good for her.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Missus tone, my chivalrous nature compels me to spring to the.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Defense of American womanhood.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
If mister Newton should discharge this poor woman, this poor
teacher you see.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Cringing before you.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
He's been known to fire not only teachers ask good,
but principles as well, principles too.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Only if I should lose my job.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Never mind her, She's just a woman. I'm a married
man with child.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I'm a single girl with nothing.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
The fact remains that you were guilty of shocking misconduct.
Chris Brooks. Osgood. When those foreign dignitaries informed Sir Nwton
of the shabby treatment you extended them, you may rest
assured that heads will roll.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Where are you going, miss Brooks?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
If heads are going to roll, I'll set up mister
Boynton's in the next alley. With the threat of unemployment
hanging over our heads like the sword of Damocles, mister
Boyne and I trudged into the school cafeteria at noon
and joined Walter Denton at his table.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Since none of us was in.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
A conversational mood, we sat there in funereal silence, grimly
scooping up our foods.
Speaker 10 (11:03):
Greeting Helloha, pull up a tombstone and sit down.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Thanks. I wish I were dead.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
All in favor, say I.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
I funny, never thought it could happen to me.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
My dad lost his job once and he was my
age at the time. Funny, I remember Dad telling me
about it.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Son.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
He said, I lost my job, like father, like son.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
Honey, me os good confline. Ten years a high school
principal and now a bum.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Like father like son.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Eh.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Funny to think that at this very moment, those three
dignitaries are having lunch with mister Newton and sealing our
professional doom.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Pretty soon, it'll all be.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Over, Honey's all over now. Mister Stone got back to
me about an hour ago with the information that mister
Newton had just received a telegram from Madame Lebouche. The
Honorable Frank McTeague and Eric Strumstead in it they vilified
us but good vividly recalling the harrowing events of yesterday.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Then mister Newton knows the whole story.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
He does in May Heaven have mercy on us. Newton
that having lunch with him could serve no valid purpose,
but the brutal facts contained in the telegram could speak
for themselves.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
What can we do? Where can we go?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Honny, gosh, gad.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
They say Siberia is lovely at this time of the year.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Perhaps if we could meet those people again and try
to reason with it too late.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Shortly after mister Stone had hung up, Madame le Bouchet
called me. She said, and I quote I and the
messieurs mctigue and Strums that have decided to return to
our homelands where people are cultured, and we are leaving
at once and bombvoyres you big fat pie.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yes, it's all over now we have but to wait
for the official axe to fall.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Well, this is it funny? I wish I were a gorilla.
Eh sounds kind of silly, I guess not to me,
it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I wish every girl were a gorilla.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Then we the weaker sex would have a fighting chance
in this world in which the survival of the fittest
is the rule.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
As gorillas, we'd have power there.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
We'd be foraging for ourselves, growing our own fur coats,
needing nothing but a banana, a coconut, and a place
to hang our tails.
Speaker 11 (14:46):
Uh huh, miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
They also say the booby hatch is lovely this time
of year.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
They'll give me a room.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I'm ready.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Wait a minute, Well, I've got a skin that might
save your next Supposing one of those three dignitaries was
to visit mister Newton at his hotel and act just
as brazen and repulsive as he or she did yesterday,
then the guy might understand why you were forced to
boot him out.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Are you bucking for a padded cell?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Toude?
Speaker 8 (15:16):
And in the first place, Madame le Bouchet told me
all three of them were leaving town at once.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
You know that, mister Conklin, but mister Newton doesn't.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
And besides, it's a sense she's never met them, or
else they wouldn't have asked mister Stone to write a
letter of introduction. Yeah, I'm merely suggesting a little masquerade, sir.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
The heck, with all the costumes we got in Dramatics Club.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
One of you could look Irish or French or anything.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Oh that's preposterous, Walter, Not preposterous, just drastic.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
And if you don't think a situation shut up. If
you don't think a situation like this costs for drastic action.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
Woos, you're fuzz crested up a lip boy masquerade. Indeed,
it's perfectly clear that our only hope lies in mister
Newton's allowing a cooling off period before taking any action.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Time is the great healers.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Excuse me, folks, scattery har Well, I've been taking messages
in your office, and mister Stone's telephoned.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
He said he'd been contacted by mister Newton, who's called.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
An emergency meeting at the board for tomorrow morning. An
emergency meeting, yes, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
He said.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
At that meeting, mister Newton.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Will recommend the summary dismissals of you and mister Boynton and.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Daddy tomorrow morning.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
Funny, gosh, gad.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Funny.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Never thought it could happen to me, Me, a poor
teacher deprived of a livelihood by another woman, a wealthy woman.
At That's how I envied her. The fur coat she
was wearing. She didn't grow at herself. Must have paid
thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
For it at a time like this. That's a strange
thing to envy her. For Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Anyway, you have a for a quart of your own,
not anymore. Last night it woke up and walked back
to the kennel.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
Those members I have named will constitute a quorum at
our board meeting in the morning, Mister Newton, I.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Am not pleased.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Conton Boynton and Miss Brooks have struck a vicious flowd
by efforts in behalf of international goodwill and unity among educators.
Mister Stone, I want the maximum membership.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Of that meeting.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Call everyone very well, mister Newton.
Speaker 9 (17:36):
Excuse me, I'll use the phone in your bedroom.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Bonjeo, monsieur to omit me to make the introduce.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I am Madame Lebouche.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
Ah, what a delightful surprise to meet you. Madame le Bouchet.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You must come in and.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Tell me all about your horrible.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
Experience with Miss Brooks.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
My dear, I am mister Newt.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
You are mister Newton, but I expect to meet a
pleasant looking man. You are a big fat pig, fat, bald,
old and dirty in your pardon, I heard you are
a bachelor, monsieur, and now I can understand why Sucray
(18:23):
Blue such a stupid face?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Who could marry?
Speaker 8 (18:30):
This must be some sort of a joke. Madam, I
have been married to a lovely woman for ten years
and never have I because she probably wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
At you, Kissa, when did you first realize this woman
married you for your money?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
What?
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
See here?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
If these brazen remarks are a sample of what you
gave miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh please do not mention that blockhead of a woman.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
You must discharge miss Brooks at once because I am
insult yesterday, I am in classroom and when I kick.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Her just a moment, Why did you kick her?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Do I got to have a reason. I'd like to know.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Why did you kick miss Brooks?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Because she is a big, fat pig.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
That may be true, but surely she must have said
something of an insinuating or insulting nature to provoke your action.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Oh she did.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
She told me to stop throwing her students out the window.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
You were throwing children out the window, only the small ones,
the big ones.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I couldn't lift.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
My poor friend Eric stromstad he had the same embarrassing
experience with mister Conklin after he kicked mister Comfort.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Just just a moment.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Why did he kick mister complict because he is a
big fat pig.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
And I mean it, Eric and I we do not
like big fat pigs. Now, you take my friend Frank mctigue.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
He kicked mister Boynton.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Why because he is a skinny pig. Mctigue does not
like skinny pigs. So you see, miss Newton, if you
could get it through your thick skull.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
To understand, I'm beginning to understand a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Madam, come in, Yes.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
You've been humany evan.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Eric Strom said, oh no, I am Henry Newton.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Mister Strum said a moment ago. I was shocked to
learn that you kicked mister Conklin yesterday. Conklin, that knuckle headed,
brain less off.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah he kicked him. Good.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
They do not call him tricky toes Eric for nothing,
can you, Eric, I don't believe a beIN Madame LaBouche.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Listen Newton, he you speaking here to make sure you
fire kompling.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You don't fire him.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
A beat is heading the fight now look, I don't
approve a fisty coach.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Mister Strumbstad.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Then the wressel Japanese style.
Speaker 12 (21:31):
You yitsu, you sound.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
Like a yerk.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Shut up.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
It's now perfectly clear to me that you folks were
the belligerents and yesterday's happenings at Madison High you misrepresented
your keys to me. You know what you shated on
your telegram.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
No we do not, monsieur.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You see when we wrote this telegram we are loaded.
Speaker 12 (22:08):
Loading.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
Yeah, yeah, we are drinking. You old goat, old coat, no,
old co.
Speaker 4 (22:21):

You people are in safe.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
Regarda I'm Frank mctigue.

and the bear knees is being a.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Reck Stromstad erics stromstud you.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Well, that's the silliest class.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Whom I ever saw.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
Shut up, you jackass, and if you'll go outrageous demonstration,
I have decided not to press charges against miss Brooks.
Mister Compton and mister Bunton.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
You mean that, monsieur.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Oh this is a terrible blow.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, yeah, we go now, there's.

He's above Sure Blue again.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Excuse me. I've got to get back to France. I

Speaker 8 (23:56):
All on there, Miss Brooks, Miss Brooks, and Osgarne, Conklin, Poynton, Denton.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
What's the meaning of this masquerade?
Speaker 8 (24:04):
A masscarrie?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
So come on gang like I say, Siberia is lovely
this time of years. As mister Newton was about to
fire us on the spot, a miracle happened. He received
an acidly phrased telegram from Madame la Bouchet, which so
infuriated the distinguished gent that he gave us his blessings
(24:29):
and sent us on our way. But when mister Boynton
drove me home, I was still so nervous that I
had some difficulty in finding the doorbell.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
What's the madame, Miss Brooks, you need glasses glasses.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Oh no, it's just nerves, mister Boynton. Oh here's the bell.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Missus Davis isn't home, but her sister Angela will let
us in.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Oh hello Connie, mister Boynton. Oh what a day we've had. Angela.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I can imagine I've been terribly worried ever since you
called me a new want to explain your predicament.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Everything worked out okay, thanks to a telegram mister Newton
received from Madame la Bouchet.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yes, it was in the form of a poem.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
It said, I will tell General Dugauld you're the fattest
pig of all.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Why the impish giggle? Angela?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Oh, Madame le Bouchet didn't send that telegram, Connie, I
did you.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
I hoped it might help you out of your predicament.
Speaker 13 (25:30):
Angela, you're a doll that calls for a big kiss.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
You kiss me, hell kill me.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
I need glasses.
