Speaker 1 (00:05):
Another comedy episode of Our Miss Brooks under the direction
of al lewis Well. The weather's been pretty nice around
Madison High School, where Armis Brooks teaches English.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
That is, up until last week.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Then the gray clouds cascaded moisture, and the streets danced
to the tune of Mother Nature's tears. It was as
though some celestial goblet had overturned, caressing the earth with
rivulets of heavenly champagne.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Or as we say in my neighborhood, it was weather
than the drowned sealed mustache. The rain started Friday morning,
and while I was at breakfast with my landlady, she
made a piercingly accurate observation.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It's certainly coming down, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Sure is, missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Great weather for ducks, I'll get the farmer's your dad though.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Yeah, it should be good for the cross it'll.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Keep the dust swung too.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
The humidity. Now, how did that get in there?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Would you like another cup of coffee?
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Connie?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
No, thanks, I have to get ready for school, Walter.
Then he's picking me up.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Oh is your car in the shop again?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
No, but I wouldn't dare driving this wet weather. With
my tires in such poor condition?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
What's wrong with your tires?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I only have three? Oh that's Walter.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Now I'll just be a minute, Walter, when you help
me into my rainclothes?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Missus Davis, certainly dear.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Here's your yellow slicker right on this chair, saying dead,
and your nice yellow rain hat.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Now you're all sick. How do I look, Missus Davis?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Simply divine? Connie, you look just like the trademark in
the bottle of cod liver oil.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh, don't stand there, throw a halibit over my shoulder,
and I'm coming waller for goodbye.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Missus David.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Good dye, Connie.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Walter. What do you
think of this weather? Boy? It's certainly coming down. Sure
is great weather for ducks.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
I bet the farmers you're glad though.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Yeah, it should be good for the crops.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It'll keep the dust down too. Well.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
There goes all our dialogue for the trip to school.
Now can you help me open this car door? I'll Walter,
where's the top to your car.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
In my garage?
Speaker 6 (02:51):
I always take it down on weather like this?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
You do, yes, ma'am?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
It leaks.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Explains it We wouldn't want to ride with a leaky top,
might get the rain all we.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Get in, Miss Brooks, I've got this Turkish towel to
throw over our heads.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Why Barilett, There's nothing like driving in an open convertible
and listening to the pitter pattern of rain drops on
your nose.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
The tal isn't just for us, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
I've got to protect my electrical shop homework.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Here is holy will you?
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I don't want to seem nosy.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Walder, but what is this contraption? It's got wires and
tubes all over it?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Oh, that's my homework, miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
What are you studying, frankenstein On?
Speaker 6 (03:41):
That's my project for shop. It's an SCR.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Shortwave radio receiver, a radio receiver. Where'd you get it?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
I build it?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
That was my project.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
The electrical shop furnished most of the materials and how
did the rest?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Oh that's wonderful. You kids who are going to school.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Nowadays are certainly fortunate. Just think of it building your
own radios. When I went to school, all I built
was an inferiority complex.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
One's so tough.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Of course, I had to shorder a lot of wires
and backs. There but it turned out pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
What's the thing that's sticking out between the tubes that
looks like a banana?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
It's a banana?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Do you see?
Speaker 7 (04:23):
As I put my lunch in there to keep it dry?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I wish I could get in there. This Turkish towel
is getting to be a Turkish bath. Why are you stopping, Walden?
Speaker 7 (04:36):
I promised to pick up Harriet Conklin this morning too.
Look there's our beloved principle standing next to the house.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Good morning, mister Conklin.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
How do you like your rain?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Hello?
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
What's wrong with a little rain?
Speaker 9 (04:55):
Every time it rains, all manner of weird creatures are
washed from their natural habitat under stones and come slithering
into my driveway.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
And good morning to you, mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Oh, oh, miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
For a moment there, I thought.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Denton had picked up a hitchhiking halibut fisherman.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
I thought it will be out in a moment, young man.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Meanwhile, please remove that junk heap from my driveway. I'm
expecting a furniture band at any moment.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh what kind of furniture are you getting, mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It's custom built Malacca bamboo. At long last, I'm realizing
a dream of mine to furnish our little glasst In
sleeping porch as a sort of tropical lunai, a place
to which I can retreat from the rigors of my
daily routine.
Speaker 9 (05:45):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
I think bamboo furniture is kind of icky myself.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
Well you do, and what is your opinion of it?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Well sir, I'm asking your opinion.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
What do you think of bamboo furniture?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Well, personally, I'm not too crazy about it.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
When I want your opinion, I'll ask.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Hi, Daddy.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Oh, good morning, Miss brook Hello, Harriet, come on get
in so on, Daddy, be sure to get the furniture
in out of ground.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I will, Harriet.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Just to know it's coming makes me feel good all
over my own Shangri la Helloha one at all.
Speaker 10 (06:35):
Vally High and Gazuntide.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Would you do me a favor, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
I don't have shop class till the afternoon, and I
have biology this morning, So would you mind parking this
radio in mister Boynton's lab for me?
Speaker 5 (06:59):
But why should I go into mister Boynton's lab? Well,
because you've.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Got ten minutes before your class starts, and you.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Always manage to sneak in.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
All right, Walter, low for you with a favor.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Thanks, Miss Brooks. Here it is now, be careful of
it now, I see you later.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Good bye, Walder.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Hello, mister Bindon, May I leave this radio for Walter Danson?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
It's his shop homework.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
For certainly, Miss Brooks. Just put it down on my table.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Thanks, he'll pick it up next period. There.
Speaker 11 (07:30):
Say, it's quite a rain costume you've got on.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
How do you like it?
Speaker 11 (07:34):
Yes, indeed, it's just the kind I want. I bet
it makes a wonderful outfit for HALLI with fishing.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
No use talking, I'll have to burn it. I hope
I'm not keeping you from any work. Mister Bidon. Well, good,
then we can chat for a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Very well, Miss Brooks, let's do that all right?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Okay, Well, if it's checked around to me, i'll have
to open.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Where do you stand on rain, mister Bindon?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Rain?
Speaker 11 (08:05):
Well, well by and large, I'd say that rain is
quite beneficial to most forms of plant life.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
You'll never be investigated for that remark.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
What I meant was, don't you think it's rather early
in the year for such a cold, driving rain.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Not at all, miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (08:21):
Our climatic conditions are undergoing a slow but steady change.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's something of.
Speaker 11 (08:26):
A meteorological phenomenon. But do you realize that at this
very moment the equatorial belt is slipping slowly southward?
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Well, I'll turn my back you tighten it up.
Speaker 11 (08:45):
What I'm trying to say is that the warm weather
which we in the temperate zone have long enjoyed, is
moving further south every year. It's entirely possible that in
the future our area may be engulfed in.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Icy arctic weather.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
How far in the future, oh.
Speaker 11 (08:59):
Possibly ten thousand years.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Good.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I should be finished knitting my mittens by the d
I drop this picture too.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Come in.
Speaker 12 (09:10):
Excuse me, mister Boyton, but I've got a message from
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
How did you happen to look for me here? Harriet?
You're kidding, of course.
Speaker 12 (09:20):
Daddy just called and said he'd be delayed with the
furniture a while longer, and asked me to monitor your
class while you sit in this office till he gets here.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, congratulations, miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
What'd I do?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
This makes you? Acting? Principle of madisone that's.
Speaker 12 (09:34):
Right, Miss Brooks. I guess daddy didn't realize what he
was doing. I mean, well, all you have to do
is answer some phone calls.
Speaker 11 (09:44):
If you'll excuse me, I've got to stop under this
fly room for a moment. That is with your permission,
Miss acting Principal.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Granted.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'll just be a few minutes, see you later.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Isn't this Walter's radio?
Speaker 13 (09:56):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yes, it is. It's a complicated looking thing.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I don't see if it works.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It's pretty close to our first class carriers.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Oh, this is swell reception. What do you know? Guy Lombardo.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Keean arrangement, isn't it?
Speaker 14 (10:22):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you a special
weather boet.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Oh good, maybe the rain's going to stop.
Speaker 14 (10:27):
Attention everyone, this is an important announcement. Local weather authorities
have just notified us that the barometer is falling rapidly
and a hurricane is approaching from the southwest.
Speaker 12 (10:38):
Miss Brooks, did you do that?
Speaker 14 (10:40):
A hurricane reports indicate that winds measuring up to one
hundred and fifty miles per hour. We'll strike this area
within the ar Please do not become panicky, but go
immediately to places of safety.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Mister Boyton said our climate was changing, but this is ridiculous.
Speaker 14 (10:57):
Industries will secure all machinery and their plans, and schools
will shut down at once.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Did you hear that, Miss Brooke?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Of course I heard it. I'm listening louder than you are.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I repeat, well, are.
Speaker 12 (11:08):
You gonna shut down the school?
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I have no authorities to do anything like that. Of
course you have. You're acting principal, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But you know your father.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
You'll be furious if I take such a drastic step.
I'd better call him, but there's.
Speaker 12 (11:21):
No time for that now everyone's.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
In great danger. Well then we'd better ask mister Boyton's ADVI.
Come on, Harriet.
Speaker 14 (11:32):
We will stay on the air and bring you father
reports and advice as the hurricane approaches. This is Dudley
Heatherington speaking to you from Station v UM, situated in
the heart of downtown Bombay, India.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
When mister Conklin put Miss Brooks in temporary charge of
Madison High School, he had no idea what a crisis
would arise in his absence, not knowing it's from bombay.
Miss Brooks is taking the hurricane reports she heard on
Walter Denton's radio quite serious.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
And I am miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Did you put my radio in the biology lamp?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yes, I did, Walder. I also turned it on and
hurried a report from the local weather authorities. That's got
me in the tizzy. And I don't tis easily.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
More rain coming.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Oh, it's worse than that.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
There's one hundred and fifty mile hurricane approaching from the southwest.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Will blow me down, It will if we don't get
out of here.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Take Harriet into her father's office to call him up
at home, and I'm trying to locate mister Boynton.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Maybe I can help you.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Maybe you can, And when you find him, tell him
about the hurricane and bring him to the principal's office
at once.
Speaker 12 (14:33):
It's no use, miss brook Our phone at home is
still busy.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I guess your mother's doing her shopping on the phone
on account of the rain.
Speaker 12 (14:39):
No, mother's spending the day with Aunt Bertha. Mother's their
favorite sister, you know, And mother's crazy about Aunt Bertha too.
I guess it's because.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
She was an only child.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Your mother's sister was an only child. Gracie A Harriet, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 12 (14:54):
She was the only child until mother was born. We
haven't much more time, miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
The radio says, there he is, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Oh, what's all this about a hurricane?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
It's true, mister Boynton. It came over the radio. I
heard it too.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
The man said it would do to strike this vicinity
in an hour?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
What man said that, Harriet the announcer, How do you
know he meant this vicinity?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
It's very simple, mister Boyton. He said he was quoting
local weather authorities. Now, if I'm responsible for the students
in this school, I'd better see that they all reach
their homes before the storm hits.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
You mean you're closing the school?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
How dog, Miss Brooks, you can't do that.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
She's got too well.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
This is a very radical step to take. I don't
know if I agree with such a procedure.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
You seem to forget, mister Boyton, I'm acting principle of
this institution.
Speaker 11 (15:42):
For my apologies, Miss Brooks, you're absolutely right, as principally
your authority exceeds mine in this matter.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I await your command.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
At ease. Smoke, if you like.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
The other teachers to dismiss their classes in an orderly
fashion and caution them of.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
The approaching star.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Yes, sir, right away, Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
R Walter.
Speaker 12 (16:12):
You have to drive us over to Daddy's when you
come back. We can't reach him by fall, and he's
got to be told what's happening.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Okay, Harriet.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
It's kind of exciting, isn't it, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
We'll all go over together, and all but me, Harriet,
as acting principle of this great institution, I feel it's
my duty to stay right here and go down with
the school.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
No, no, no, you're going right with us, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Of course you are.
Speaker 12 (16:37):
You've got to report to Daddy.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We'll lock the house up.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
Tight and see that every Oh dear, what if the
hurricane hits before we get to the house.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
What'll you do then, Miss Brooks? What can I do?
I'll let it blow and lash myself to mister Boynton.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
I hope your dad doesn't mind off barging in on
him like this, Harriet.
Speaker 12 (17:03):
Well, it's an emergency, mister Boynton. He'll understand. Come on,
he's probably in mitlen Eye, Daddy, I'm home.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
That's funny.
Speaker 12 (17:12):
He isn't in here.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Know what the new furniture is.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Get a load of this.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Bam gool Wilderness.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
Is an odd looking room, isn't it? How do you
like it? Miss Brooks?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I know where old fishing poles go when they die.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (17:32):
I brought my radio along, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
It'll help while away the hours we have.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
To stay hold up here.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Take care to dance, Harriet, Walter dan and I'm surprised
that you.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
How can you ask anyone to dance with a hurricane
coming in a minute.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I'm sorry it was pretty silly. I guess it.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Was positively inane. Care to dance, mister Boynton.
Speaker 12 (17:54):
You better turn that thing off, Walter. I'm going into
the next room and see if daddy's there.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
That's his dance.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I don't hear any growlings.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Be sure and tell him we're here, will you, Harry?
Speaker 7 (18:05):
I hope he doesn't get angry because Miss Brooks shut
down the school.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Why should he get angry? I merely did my duty.
Come on, let's all go in. No Harriet to go
in alone. He wouldn't hit her relative. Well, I'll just
be a.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Minute, Harriet. You doing home? What's the meaning of this?
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I close this door?
Speaker 11 (18:27):
Well, this will probably come at something of a shock
to mister Conklin.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I wonder how he'll react to my closing down the school.
Let's keep quiet and listen. Oh, she's shut.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Down the stool, missus Brooks, how could you possibly?
Speaker 11 (18:51):
I'm here too, mister Conklin, Hello, Hello, you.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Possibly hello, miss brook How would you possibly?
Speaker 15 (19:03):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
How should you shut down my.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
School in the middle of the day. But sir, there's
a hurricane coming.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
We heard it on the day, mister Conklin.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Harriet told me all about it.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
There's a hurricane blowing in from up southwest.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I've never heard such a batch of unmitigated jabberwockee in
all my days.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
How could a hurricane.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Possibly get this far into the United States?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Smugglers?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Don't be impertinent, Miss Brooks, Boynton, you always seem to
be a person of average intelligence.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
How could you allow this, this this.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Mad woman to shut down my school on a ridiculous assumption?
Speaker 11 (19:46):
But it isn't an assumption, mister Conklin. Miss Brooks heard
the warning on the radio.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
So did I can.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
And there's no time to waste if we're to get
ready for it. Walter, go close all the windows, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Den don't come back here. This happens to be my domain.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
I will give the all Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Go close all the windows.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I just don't want the rain to ruin things.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Hurricanes indeed, But mister Conklin, we heard.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't want to hear any more about it. It's
too late to call the students back to school, I suppose.
But if anything like this ever happens again, please daddy.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
Miss Brooks, turn on the radio. Maybe there's another weather
report coming on. They were convinced him, right, Harriet.
Speaker 14 (20:27):
Heady rain falls and extreme turbulence, All citizens attention. The
following precautionary measures are urged by local authorities for the
protection of life and property during the approaching hurricane.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I said, I don't want to hear any more about
who said that?
Speaker 12 (20:43):
Put the man on the radio.
Speaker 14 (20:44):
Daddy listen, Please follow these emergency measures to the letter. First,
precautions against flying glass from wind shattered windows. Ald up
all windows, I repeat, ord up all windows.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
We don't stand around like a bunch of dummies. We've
got to board up all the windows. Luckily, I've got
my tool kit handy. I was going to saw some
wood for the fireplace.
Speaker 14 (21:08):
The most secure method of boarding up windows is by
using bamboo shoots. I repeat, bold up your windows with bamboo.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Bamboo.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Where in the world are we going to get bamboo?
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Oh no, don't find you furniture.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Well, this is an emergency, mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You heard it yourself, but I haven't even had time
to sit in it yet.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Well, I'll take a fast bounce on that couch and
we'll start chopping.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Oh no, no, no, one moment, just let me sit.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Down for one moment. Your little couch ends up on.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Your feet, mister Conklin. Here's the toolbox, mister Boyne, let's
get started.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I hate to do this, sir, but you know the necessity.
I'll turn my back. I can't bear to watch it.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Oh would you like a bullet to bite on?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Good work?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Mister.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
You saw the coffee table right in half.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Things are bad enough, Miss Brooks. We don't need a
commentator the couch.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Mister Gorington, pass me the act.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Have all the window shutting.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
I holy cows and hurricanes already.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Here you're cutting this bamboo to board up the windows.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Walter Gosh, I've been missing all the fun hand me
that action and stand aside.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Never mind, ned Water.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
Take this bamboo strip I attacked together, and nail it
up against that window.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Yes, sir, give me the hammer and a nail. Harriet,
please hear water?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Shoot? What was that?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Look now, mister Conkland. But you can pick flowers without
opening your windows.
Speaker 12 (23:40):
The more instructions are coming over the air, shut pipes
and lash down your OSCs.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Os CO.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
New cars must be scarcer than we think.
Speaker 14 (24:06):
Instruction number three, attention everyone, disperse all natives to the hills.
I repeat, after forcing them to tie down the thatched
roofs on their straw huts. Disperse all natives to the hills.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
What natives?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Good question?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
And now your.
Speaker 14 (24:29):
Last official instruction before you repair for your storm sellers,
be sure to tether your elephants carefully. Tether your elephants carefully,
quick quick.

You got to get outside and tell them my elephant

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, yeah, yes, it's a panic.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Imagine closing down an entire high school and wrecking a
room full of furniture because of a report on some
idiot's homemade radio telling of a hurricane five thousand miles while.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Your high blood pressure, your.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Concern for my blood pressure is touching, Miss Brooks. But
I'd rather you concern yourself with what I'm to do
about these slivers of bamboo that you've left me with.

Another comedy episode of Our Miss Brooks under the direction
of al lewis Well. The weather's been pretty nice around
Madison High School, where Armis Brooks teaches English.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
That is, up until last week.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Then the gray clouds cascaded moisture, and the streets danced
to the tune of Mother Nature's tears. It was as
though some celestial goblet had overturned, caressing the earth with
rivulets of heavenly champagne.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Or as we say in my neighborhood, it was weather
than the drowned sealed mustache. The rain started Friday morning,
and while I was at breakfast with my landlady, she
made a piercingly accurate observation.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It's certainly coming down, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Sure is, missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Great weather for ducks, I'll get the farmer's your dad though.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Yeah, it should be good for the cross it'll.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Keep the dust swung too.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
The humidity. Now, how did that get in there?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Would you like another cup of coffee?
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Connie?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
No, thanks, I have to get ready for school, Walter.
Then he's picking me up.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Oh is your car in the shop again?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
No, but I wouldn't dare driving this wet weather. With
my tires in such poor condition?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
What's wrong with your tires?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I only have three? Oh that's Walter.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Now I'll just be a minute, Walter, when you help
me into my rainclothes?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Missus Davis, certainly dear.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Here's your yellow slicker right on this chair, saying dead,
and your nice yellow rain hat.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Now you're all sick. How do I look, Missus Davis?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Simply divine? Connie, you look just like the trademark in
the bottle of cod liver oil.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh, don't stand there, throw a halibit over my shoulder,
and I'm coming waller for goodbye.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Missus David.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Good dye, Connie.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Walter. What do you
think of this weather? Boy? It's certainly coming down. Sure
is great weather for ducks.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
I bet the farmers you're glad though.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Yeah, it should be good for the crops.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It'll keep the dust down too. Well.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
There goes all our dialogue for the trip to school.
Now can you help me open this car door? I'll Walter,
where's the top to your car.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
In my garage?
Speaker 6 (02:51):
I always take it down on weather like this?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
You do, yes, ma'am?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
It leaks.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Explains it We wouldn't want to ride with a leaky top,
might get the rain all we.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Get in, Miss Brooks, I've got this Turkish towel to
throw over our heads.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Why Barilett, There's nothing like driving in an open convertible
and listening to the pitter pattern of rain drops on
your nose.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
The tal isn't just for us, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
I've got to protect my electrical shop homework.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Here is holy will you?
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I don't want to seem nosy.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Walder, but what is this contraption? It's got wires and
tubes all over it?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Oh, that's my homework, miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
What are you studying, frankenstein On?
Speaker 6 (03:41):
That's my project for shop. It's an SCR.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Shortwave radio receiver, a radio receiver. Where'd you get it?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
I build it?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
That was my project.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
The electrical shop furnished most of the materials and how
did the rest?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Oh that's wonderful. You kids who are going to school.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Nowadays are certainly fortunate. Just think of it building your
own radios. When I went to school, all I built
was an inferiority complex.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
One's so tough.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Of course, I had to shorder a lot of wires
and backs. There but it turned out pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
What's the thing that's sticking out between the tubes that
looks like a banana?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
It's a banana?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Do you see?
Speaker 7 (04:23):
As I put my lunch in there to keep it dry?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I wish I could get in there. This Turkish towel
is getting to be a Turkish bath. Why are you stopping, Walden?
Speaker 7 (04:36):
I promised to pick up Harriet Conklin this morning too.
Look there's our beloved principle standing next to the house.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Good morning, mister Conklin.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
How do you like your rain?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Hello?
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
What's wrong with a little rain?
Speaker 9 (04:55):
Every time it rains, all manner of weird creatures are
washed from their natural habitat under stones and come slithering
into my driveway.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
And good morning to you, mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Oh, oh, miss Brooks.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
For a moment there, I thought.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Denton had picked up a hitchhiking halibut fisherman.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
I thought it will be out in a moment, young man.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Meanwhile, please remove that junk heap from my driveway. I'm
expecting a furniture band at any moment.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh what kind of furniture are you getting, mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It's custom built Malacca bamboo. At long last, I'm realizing
a dream of mine to furnish our little glasst In
sleeping porch as a sort of tropical lunai, a place
to which I can retreat from the rigors of my
daily routine.
Speaker 9 (05:45):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
I think bamboo furniture is kind of icky myself.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
Well you do, and what is your opinion of it?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Well sir, I'm asking your opinion.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
What do you think of bamboo furniture?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Well, personally, I'm not too crazy about it.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
When I want your opinion, I'll ask.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Hi, Daddy.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Oh, good morning, Miss brook Hello, Harriet, come on get
in so on, Daddy, be sure to get the furniture
in out of ground.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I will, Harriet.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Just to know it's coming makes me feel good all
over my own Shangri la Helloha one at all.
Speaker 10 (06:35):
Vally High and Gazuntide.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Would you do me a favor, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
I don't have shop class till the afternoon, and I
have biology this morning, So would you mind parking this
radio in mister Boynton's lab for me?
Speaker 5 (06:59):
But why should I go into mister Boynton's lab? Well,
because you've.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Got ten minutes before your class starts, and you.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Always manage to sneak in.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
All right, Walter, low for you with a favor.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Thanks, Miss Brooks. Here it is now, be careful of
it now, I see you later.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Good bye, Walder.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Hello, mister Bindon, May I leave this radio for Walter Danson?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
It's his shop homework.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
For certainly, Miss Brooks. Just put it down on my table.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Thanks, he'll pick it up next period. There.
Speaker 11 (07:30):
Say, it's quite a rain costume you've got on.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
How do you like it?
Speaker 11 (07:34):
Yes, indeed, it's just the kind I want. I bet
it makes a wonderful outfit for HALLI with fishing.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
No use talking, I'll have to burn it. I hope
I'm not keeping you from any work. Mister Bidon. Well, good,
then we can chat for a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Very well, Miss Brooks, let's do that all right?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Okay, Well, if it's checked around to me, i'll have
to open.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Where do you stand on rain, mister Bindon?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Rain?
Speaker 11 (08:05):
Well, well by and large, I'd say that rain is
quite beneficial to most forms of plant life.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
You'll never be investigated for that remark.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
What I meant was, don't you think it's rather early
in the year for such a cold, driving rain.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Not at all, miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (08:21):
Our climatic conditions are undergoing a slow but steady change.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's something of.
Speaker 11 (08:26):
A meteorological phenomenon. But do you realize that at this
very moment the equatorial belt is slipping slowly southward?
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Well, I'll turn my back you tighten it up.
Speaker 11 (08:45):
What I'm trying to say is that the warm weather
which we in the temperate zone have long enjoyed, is
moving further south every year. It's entirely possible that in
the future our area may be engulfed in.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Icy arctic weather.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
How far in the future, oh.
Speaker 11 (08:59):
Possibly ten thousand years.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Good.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I should be finished knitting my mittens by the d
I drop this picture too.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Come in.
Speaker 12 (09:10):
Excuse me, mister Boyton, but I've got a message from
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
How did you happen to look for me here? Harriet?
You're kidding, of course.
Speaker 12 (09:20):
Daddy just called and said he'd be delayed with the
furniture a while longer, and asked me to monitor your
class while you sit in this office till he gets here.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, congratulations, miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
What'd I do?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
This makes you? Acting? Principle of madisone that's.
Speaker 12 (09:34):
Right, Miss Brooks. I guess daddy didn't realize what he
was doing. I mean, well, all you have to do
is answer some phone calls.
Speaker 11 (09:44):
If you'll excuse me, I've got to stop under this
fly room for a moment. That is with your permission,
Miss acting Principal.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Granted.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'll just be a few minutes, see you later.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Isn't this Walter's radio?
Speaker 13 (09:56):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yes, it is. It's a complicated looking thing.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I don't see if it works.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It's pretty close to our first class carriers.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Oh, this is swell reception. What do you know? Guy Lombardo.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Keean arrangement, isn't it?
Speaker 14 (10:22):

weather boet.

Speaker 14 (10:27):
Attention everyone, this is an important announcement. Local weather authorities
have just notified us that the barometer is falling rapidly
and a hurricane is approaching from the southwest.
Speaker 12 (10:38):
Miss Brooks, did you do that?
Speaker 14 (10:40):
A hurricane reports indicate that winds measuring up to one
hundred and fifty miles per hour. We'll strike this area
within the ar Please do not become panicky, but go
immediately to places of safety.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Mister Boyton said our climate was changing, but this is ridiculous.
Speaker 14 (10:57):
Industries will secure all machinery and their plans, and schools
will shut down at once.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Did you hear that, Miss Brooke?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Of course I heard it. I'm listening louder than you are.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I repeat, well, are.
Speaker 12 (11:08):
You gonna shut down the school?
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I have no authorities to do anything like that. Of
course you have. You're acting principal, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But you know your father.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
You'll be furious if I take such a drastic step.
I'd better call him, but there's.
Speaker 12 (11:21):
No time for that now everyone's.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
In great danger. Well then we'd better ask mister Boyton's ADVI.
Come on, Harriet.
Speaker 14 (11:32):
We will stay on the air and bring you father
reports and advice as the hurricane approaches. This is Dudley
Heatherington speaking to you from Station v UM, situated in

When mister Conklin put Miss Brooks in temporary charge of
Madison High School, he had no idea what a crisis
would arise in his absence, not knowing it's from bombay.
Miss Brooks is taking the hurricane reports she heard on
Walter Denton's radio quite serious.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
And I am miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Did you put my radio in the biology lamp?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yes, I did, Walder. I also turned it on and
hurried a report from the local weather authorities. That's got
me in the tizzy. And I don't tis easily.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
More rain coming.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Oh, it's worse than that.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
I guess your mother's doing her shopping on the phone
on account of the rain.
Speaker 12 (14:39):
No, mother's spending the day with Aunt Bertha. Mother's their
favorite sister, you know, And mother's crazy about Aunt Bertha too.
I guess it's because.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
She was an only child.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Your mother's sister was an only child. Gracie A Harriet, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 12 (14:54):
She was the only child until mother was born. We
haven't much more time, miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
The radio says, there he is, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Oh, what's all this about a hurricane?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
It's true, mister Boynton. It came over the radio. I
heard it too.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
The man said it would do to strike this vicinity
in an hour?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
What man said that, Harriet the announcer, How do you
know he meant this vicinity?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
It's very simple, mister Boyton. He said he was quoting
local weather authorities. Now, if I'm responsible for the students
in this school, I'd better see that they all reach
their homes before the storm hits.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
You mean you're closing the school?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
How dog, Miss Brooks, you can't do that.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
She's got too well.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
This is a very radical step to take. I don't
know if I agree with such a procedure.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
You seem to forget, mister Boyton, I'm acting principle of
this institution.
Speaker 11 (15:42):
For my apologies, Miss Brooks, you're absolutely right, as principally
your authority exceeds mine in this matter.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I await your command.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
At ease. Smoke, if you like.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
The other teachers to dismiss their classes in an orderly
fashion and caution them of.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
The approaching star.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Yes, sir, right away, Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
R Walter.
Speaker 12 (16:12):
You have to drive us over to Daddy's when you
come back. We can't reach him by fall, and he's
got to be told what's happening.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Okay, Harriet.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
It's kind of exciting, isn't it, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
We'll all go over together, and all but me, Harriet,
as acting principle of this great institution, I feel it's
my duty to stay right here and go down with
the school.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
No, no, no, you're going right with us, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Of course you are.
Speaker 12 (16:37):
You've got to report to Daddy.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We'll lock the house up.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
Tight and see that every Oh dear, what if the
hurricane hits before we get to the house.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
What'll you do then, Miss Brooks? What can I do?
I'll let it blow and lash myself to mister Boynton.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
I hope your dad doesn't mind off barging in on
him like this, Harriet.
Speaker 12 (17:03):
Well, it's an emergency, mister Boynton. He'll understand. Come on,
he's probably in mitlen Eye, Daddy, I'm home.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
That's funny.
Speaker 12 (17:12):
He isn't in here.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Know what the new furniture is.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Get a load of this.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Bam gool Wilderness.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
Is an odd looking room, isn't it? How do you
like it? Miss Brooks?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I know where old fishing poles go when they die.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (17:32):
I brought my radio along, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
It'll help while away the hours we have.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
To stay hold up here.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Take care to dance, Harriet, Walter dan and I'm surprised
that you.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
How can you ask anyone to dance with a hurricane
coming in a minute.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I'm sorry it was pretty silly. I guess it.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Was positively inane. Care to dance, mister Boynton.
Speaker 12 (17:54):
You better turn that thing off, Walter. I'm going into
the next room and see if daddy's there.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
That's his dance.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I don't hear any growlings.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Be sure and tell him we're here, will you, Harry?
Speaker 7 (18:05):
I hope he doesn't get angry because Miss Brooks shut
down the school.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Why should he get angry? I merely did my duty.
Come on, let's all go in. No Harriet to go
in alone. He wouldn't hit her relative. Well, I'll just
be a.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Minute, Harriet. You doing home? What's the meaning of this?
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I close this door?
Speaker 11 (18:27):
Well, this will probably come at something of a shock
to mister Conklin.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I wonder how he'll react to my closing down the school.
Let's keep quiet and listen. Oh, she's shut.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Down the stool, missus Brooks, how could you possibly?
Speaker 11 (18:51):
I'm here too, mister Conklin, Hello, Hello, you.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Possibly hello, miss brook How would you possibly?
Speaker 15 (19:03):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
How should you shut down my.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
School in the middle of the day. But sir, there's
a hurricane coming.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
We heard it on the day, mister Conklin.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Harriet told me all about it.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
There's a hurricane blowing in from up southwest.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I've never heard such a batch of unmitigated jabberwockee in
all my days.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
How could a hurricane.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Possibly get this far into the United States?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Smugglers?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Don't be impertinent, Miss Brooks, Boynton, you always seem to
be a person of average intelligence.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
How could you allow this, this this.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Mad woman to shut down my school on a ridiculous assumption?
Speaker 11 (19:46):
But it isn't an assumption, mister Conklin. Miss Brooks heard
the warning on the radio.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
So did I can.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
And there's no time to waste if we're to get
ready for it. Walter, go close all the windows, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Den don't come back here. This happens to be my domain.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
I will give the all Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Go close all the windows.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I just don't want the rain to ruin things.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Hurricanes indeed, But mister Conklin, we heard.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't want to hear any more about it. It's
too late to call the students back to school, I suppose.
But if anything like this ever happens again, please daddy.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
Miss Brooks, turn on the radio. Maybe there's another weather
report coming on. They were convinced him, right, Harriet.
Speaker 14 (20:27):
Heady rain falls and extreme turbulence, All citizens attention. The
following precautionary measures are urged by local authorities for the
protection of life and property during the approaching hurricane.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I said, I don't want to hear any more about
who said that?
Speaker 12 (20:43):
Put the man on the radio.
Speaker 14 (20:44):
Daddy listen, Please follow these emergency measures to the letter. First,
precautions against flying glass from wind shattered windows. Ald up
all windows, I repeat, ord up all windows.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
We don't stand around like a bunch of dummies. We've
got to board up all the windows. Luckily, I've got
my tool kit handy. I was going to saw some
wood for the fireplace.
Speaker 14 (21:08):
The most secure method of boarding up windows is by
using bamboo shoots. I repeat, bold up your windows with bamboo.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Bamboo.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Where in the world are we going to get bamboo?
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Oh no, don't find you furniture.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Well, this is an emergency, mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You heard it yourself, but I haven't even had time
to sit in it yet.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Well, I'll take a fast bounce on that couch and
we'll start chopping.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Oh no, no, no, one moment, just let me sit.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Down for one moment. Your little couch ends up on.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Your feet, mister Conklin. Here's the toolbox, mister Boyne, let's
get started.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I hate to do this, sir, but you know the necessity.
I'll turn my back. I can't bear to watch it.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Oh would you like a bullet to bite on?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Good work?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Mister.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
You saw the coffee table right in half.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Things are bad enough, Miss Brooks. We don't need a
commentator the couch.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Mister Gorington, pass me the act.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Have all the window shutting.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
I holy cows and hurricanes already.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Here you're cutting this bamboo to board up the windows.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Walter Gosh, I've been missing all the fun hand me
that action and stand aside.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Never mind, ned Water.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
Take this bamboo strip I attacked together, and nail it
up against that window.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Yes, sir, give me the hammer and a nail. Harriet,
please hear water?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Shoot? What was that?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Look now, mister Conkland. But you can pick flowers without
opening your windows.
Speaker 12 (23:40):
The more instructions are coming over the air, shut pipes
and lash down your OSCs.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Os CO.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
New cars must be scarcer than we think.
Speaker 14 (24:06):
Instruction number three, attention everyone, disperse all natives to the hills.
I repeat, after forcing them to tie down the thatched
roofs on their straw huts. Disperse all natives to the hills.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
What natives?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Good question?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
And now your.
Speaker 14 (24:29):
Last official instruction before you repair for your storm sellers,
be sure to tether your elephants carefully. Tether your elephants carefully,
quick quick.

You got to get outside and tell them my elephant

Is a screen.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, yeah, yes, it's a panic.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Imagine closing down an entire high school and wrecking a
room full of furniture because of a report on some
idiot's homemade radio telling of a hurricane five thousand miles while.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Your high blood pressure, your.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Concern for my blood pressure is touching, Miss Brooks. But
I'd rather you concern yourself with what I'm to do
about these slivers of bamboo that you've left me with.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Please, mister Conklin, you can make a fortune with those slivers.
