Speaker 1 (00:00):
Was that.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I meant to ask you. How was missus Richardson's party
the other day?
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:03):
It was very nice. She's the most perfect housekeeper I've
ever seen. Her house is absolutely immaculate.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, that's what I understand.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Her table looked just beautiful. Of course, there was a good.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Reason for that.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Why not. America's Finest silver plate is eighteen forty seven
Rogers Brothers. Why America's Finest silver blade is eighteen forty
(00:40):
seven Rogers Brothers from Hollywood International Silver Company, creators of
eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers Silver Plate presents the Adventures
of Arley and Harriet, starring America's favorite young couple, Ozzie Nelson.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
And Harriet Hiers.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Say, there's something strange going on in the living room
of the Nelson's at eighteen forty seven Rogers Road. There's David,
age twelve, and Ricky, age eight, on their hands and knees,
creeping toward the davenport.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Their faces look so serious.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Must be somebody hiding back there.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I wonder who it is.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Maybe it's Nick, the family dog, or maybe it's little
Will Thornberry from next door. Hey, those feet look offul
big for why it's Ozzy. Now, what's a full grown
man doing hiding behind the Davenport?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
We got okay, fellas, Okay, you caught me. I surrender,
jee coon.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
You're playing right.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
We're supposed to be the cowboys and you're a bad Indian.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, I'm doing the best I can.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
We're supposed to show a little fine. Well.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I've been saying bang bang, but you guys won't fall down.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
You've been missing us. According to the laws of Fort
and Nelson, you're entitled.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
To a trial.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I vote, we shoot him.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
I wote we shoot him too.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It was hardly worth getting the judge out of bed for.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Indian.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Have you any last words?
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Me quit?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You can't quit, pop, David.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
This is the third time you've captured me, and it's
a third time I've been sentenced to be shot and
I quit.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Don't quit now, Pop.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Let us capture you once more, like the first time
when we tie jup.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Hell, okay, just once more, though, we Indians have other
things to do. Say afternoon, I have to pose for
a new nickel.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
You get the laugh through, Ricky, I'll hight here bhind
this cactus bush?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Which cactus bush?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
This one here with the yellow lampshade on it.
Speaker 9 (03:00):
Most time.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I think I'll surprise you guys and show a little fight.
I think he's about time the Indian tied up to
rather short cowboys.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
That's what I've been saying, Pops, been making it too easy.
You get him from that side, Ricky, I'll get him
from this side.
Speaker 10 (03:13):
Grab seat, David through the last due.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
Now you know.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
A little different this time, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
How do you like this.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Team?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Sure? Strong, Pop, you can really fight when.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You wonks boys. Now untie me and letting me up.
Speaker 11 (03:38):
Almost over there, Ricky, that's it, now you can get up.
Speaker 9 (03:42):
Pop.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Watch your foot.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Oh, holy smokes.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
You really busted it.
Speaker 10 (03:48):
Pop, nothing, Harriet, nothing serious, Come on, Ricky, Ricky.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He's already goney.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
For goodness, takes my antique day?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Hi, goodnes help, but I bumped into it accidentally. Beside,
antiques are supposed to look old. Certainly looks much older now.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
The whole living room looks older. What happened to the
scattered rugs?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh they're scattered around her place.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Looks like a cyclone hit it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh, Harriet, don't be so fussy.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
I don't mind telling you.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
I'm getting pretty tired.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Of straightening things up around here, the more work I do,
the messy of the place looks.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Suppose it does look a little disorderly now and then,
after all, it's a home. People live here.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's no reason for it to be messed up all
the time.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Do you know anybody's home that looks nicer than ours?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 8 (04:35):
Missus Richardson's, for one. Her place looks absolutely immaculate all
the time.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, she doesn't have any children to mess the place up.
Don't forget we have two, We have three here.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Pick up your Indian hat. Tanto.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Hello, missus Nelson. Oh, mister Richardson, come in, Thank you.
I hope you'll excuse the appearance of this living room.
The boys have just finished the game of Cowboys in India.
Speaker 9 (05:10):
Oh, forget it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
As a matter of fact, Oh.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Mister richard Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Oh I don't know
who could have.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Put that footstool.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Let me help you up.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
None at all, not at all.
Speaker 9 (05:26):
Please think nothing of it, Missus Nelson. It's been a
long time since I've clipped over a footstool.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I have a chair, won't you?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
But I really can't stay.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
I just stopped by it with this issue of Good Housekeeping.
Missus Richardson said there was an article and that you
wanted to read.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Oh, thanks very much, but I could have picked it up.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, it was right on the way.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
I have to go to the store and get Missus
Richardson some scowling powder.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I have a can of a chicken. Have we buy it?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
By the case.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Your Alive is such a wonderful house keep her. I
do envy her. So your house always looks so immaculate.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Yes it does, doesn't it.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
What a pleasure it must be to live in a
house like that.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
Yes, Missus Richardson enjoys it very much. She used to
be a bacteriologist, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Oh please sit down.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You can't stay for a few minutes.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Can't you?
Speaker 9 (06:22):
All right?
Speaker 8 (06:23):
I will? Oh, Oh my goodness, I guess one of
the boys left this pencil box on the chair.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I'm so sorry, mister richards.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh quite all right.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
It's been a long time since I've sat on the
pencil box.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
I wish i'd known you were stopping by.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I could have at least given the house a quick
going over.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
Really, Missus Nelson, it looks wonderful, very comfortable. Reminds me
of our house back home when I was a boy.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
We have two youngsters, and you know how boys are
about keeping things orderly.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
May I ask you a very direct question, missus Nelson.
Of course, Well you've seen my wife at various social affairs.
You've played bridge with her, seen her club meetings. Yes,
how does she look without a dust cap flying?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Mister Richardson? She doesn't spend that much time cleaning the house,
does she.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Missus Nelson.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I love my wife. She's a wonderful woman.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
We've been married now for ten years, ten spotless antiscepty,
But living in our house is like living in the
operating room of a hospital.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Would you mind awfully if I smoke my pipe?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Of course, not go out of head?
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Oh thank you, Oh you're very kind. Been a long
time since I've smoked the house on a wonderful day.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Dripped over a footstool.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
Sat on a pencil box.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Now I'm smoking my pibe.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Why don't you put your feet up on the hassock,
make a.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Day of it?
Speaker 9 (08:18):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Am I keeping you from anything, missus Nelson?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Oh, nothing important. I just have to wash the dishes
a little later. The sink's full of.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Them dirty dishes?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Could I see them now?
Speaker 9 (08:38):
You're kidding, mister Richard, perhaps a little, But I do
mean this, every word of it. Don't ever change anything
about this house, missus Nelson.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's perfect. As I walked in the door, something seemed
to say, this is a real home.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
People live here, happy, comfortable people.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Oh oz, hi a Thorny, how's You're just the man
I've been waiting for. I have a present for you,
present for me, Yes, sir, I've been cleaning up the
yard and I came across an.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Old boiler and it's yours.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh thank you, Thorny, But I really have no use
for an old boilers, either of I.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
How you like it?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
It's rusty, makes the water nice and red. It gives
you a ruddy complexion.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I hate to see him unappreciative, Thorny, but I really
don't want.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's a present.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You can't give it back.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I haven't accepted it.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You have, so I carried it over and leaned.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
It against your garage. You haven't said thank you, oz,
but I know it's in your heart and you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I bet I can guess what happened at your house,
Catherine pushed you outside to clean up the yard.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
What a ridiculous idea.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Not the same thing at our house. Harriet's on clean
up campaign too. She just practically drove me out of
the house gave me a big lecture about keeping things neat.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
And nat As a matter of fact, I think she's right.
You're kidding, No, I'm not us I really mean it.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Just think of all the things a woman has to
do around the house. She does the cleaning, the cooking,
the shopping, taking care of the kids, and the sewing, the.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Mending of the laundry.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
The least we men can do is co operate, try
to make her job a little easier.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And maybe you're right, THORNI of course.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
I am, matter of fact. Until you started talking about it,
I never realized what a wonderful job Catherine does around
our house. Work, work, work all day long, seven days
a week, standing over a hot stove all day, cooking meals,
mending clothes, getting me off to work on time, keeping
the place tidy. You know something, Oz, I'm going in
the house and tell Catherine to stop this grind and.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Get out for a little fun.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I'll see you later.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh, what's the matter of Thornie?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I just remember, Catherine's not home.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
She's out playing bridge someblati.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hi Pop, hello boys, Ricky? Are those your books on
the hall stairs?
Speaker 5 (11:10):
There are?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well, take them upstairs, will you please?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
As a matter of fact, fellows, from now on, we're
going to be a little more careful about keeping things
neat around here.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Are we gonna have company?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
No? No, it has nothing to do with company. It
says that we've got to start showing a little consideration
for your mother. I just went upstairs and there was
a towel lying right in the middle of the bathroom floor.
Somebody just thrown it down.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Wasn't me, pomp, wasn't me.
Speaker 10 (11:33):
I haven't washed my hands for a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'm gonna start making some new rules around here. No
more lounging on the sofa with our feet propped up
on a chair, No more throwing banana peels in the fireplace,
no more rope whirling in here, and no more pillow
fights in the bedroom.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Is this how it is when you're in jail, Pop.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
No, Ricky, this is how it is when you're part
of a well or organized family. We're gonna help your
mother keep our house well organized. No more wrestling in
the living room, no more tossing the football in the house,
no more sliding down the banister, and no more shooting
firecrackers in the cellar. Holy smart, you guys have been
home about an hour and it looks like a mess.
Let's start and right now by straightening up this room
(12:21):
make it just as neat and clean as missus Richardson's.
Come on, we'll make a game of it.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
Okay, come on, David, I'll be hob On Cassidy and
pop the cattle seat.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
No, no, no, lot, This time, I have a better
game in mine. Let's make believe where the Nelson clean
up commandos. I'll be the captain and you guys will
be my troops.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
You don't have to do that, Pop.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, I just thought the idea of the game would
make it easier if you guys live up to be
a lot of fun, you and Ricky being the troops.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
You don't have to make it a game, Pop.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Okay if you don't want to make it a game,
but let's get started anyway.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
Ready, pure hop we said.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You don't, David, Did I give you an argument when
you wanted to be cowboys. Now, let's go, guys.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I sure hate to see the Nelson House get like
a one for mister Richardson lives in. But if that's
the way Harriet wants it, that's the way it'll have
to be. It's the woman who makes the rules, you know.
It had been that way for years, and it's still
the thing to do, just the way. It's still the
thing for a guy and his girl to go for
a stroll on Sunday afternoon. And it's still the thing
when that young couple are married to own eighteen forty
(13:46):
seven Rogers Brothers, the finest silver plate in America. Yes, now,
as over a century ago, eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers
is the right choice for silver plate whose beauty and
workmanship is unexcelled. Now as then, that famous year mark
eighteen forty seven stands.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
For the very best.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Nowhere else will you find the same lovely features, the
superior imagination of the pattern designs, the exquisite detail, the
extra luster and weight of each piece. Only eighteen forty
seven is so much like solid silver.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So see it tomorrow, won't you?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
For remember it's still the thing as it was over
a century ago to choose eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers
the finest silver plate in America. Man's work is from
(14:44):
sun to sun, but a woman's work is never done. Yes,
it's an old familiar saying, but it's based on years
and years of experience. Through the ages, historians have recorded
proof that man never changes. Back in the old Roman Empire,
there was Antony and Cleopatra.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
Anthony the hair in the milk bath, Cleiol Anthony, I'm.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Getting tired of this. You always leave your things lying
around the trophy.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Rooms a mess.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
But baby, from now on, I want to place kept
in order. But baby, I mean it, starting today, when
you finished your milk bath, don't leave the empty bottles
in the tub.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Even before Anthony and Cleopatra, back in the days of
the caveman, woman was faced with the same problem as.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
It all as a hair in the dinosaur room owner.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
So I'm disgusted. Look at this place. It looks like
an absolute myss.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But baby, you ought to be ashamed.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Look at yourself, a full grown man four foot three.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
I spend all day cleaning and out.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Look at it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But baby, what's wrong with it?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
This cave looks like a hole in the wall.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Even royal families have encountered this domestic conflict. In one
particular case, I think the husband deserved the sympathy, the
case of King Solomon.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Sorry, are tired of this.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
We try and keep the palace queen, and you eat
messy lass. Why can you help us keep the tie?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
But babies.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Today at eighteen forty seven Rogers Road, three sturdy souls
have set forth to rectify this injustice. Now, with contented
smiles and aching bags, they carefully seat themselves in the
living room, which they have put in order. Not a spot,
not a smudge, not a thing out of place. Yes,
it's a pretty self satisfied Ozzie, David and Rickey.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That great, Harriet as she enters, Oh well.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Hello, so quiet. I didn't think anybody was in the house.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
A home should be quiet, Harriet.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
I'm wearing my walled pask because my care has made
too much noise.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
I want to walk around.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Down to the living room.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's so clean, the way home should be.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
How did you put your feet up on the footstool?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
There, no, no, Harriet, I'll just keep them flat on
the floor. They look so much neat.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
That way, David, why don't you and Ricky play a
game of cards or something instead of just sitting there
like a couple of wooden Indians.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
We didn't want to get out the card table, Mom,
it might mess up the living room.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Oh, David, go ahead and get out the card table.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Giannis mar.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
No, thanks.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
I guess we'll just sit here like a couple of
wooden Indians.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I can't get over this house looking so neat and clean.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We've done a pretty good job. Don't you think I
ran the vacuum.
Speaker 11 (17:47):
I guess it.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I washed the windows.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I will not a spec on it. So clean it
doesn't even look like it's there.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
We didn't pop.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I left it open.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
You better close it, David. We don't want a lot
of dust blowing around in here. Where's Nick outside in
the yard where a dog is supposed to be Harriet,
We don't want them getting hair all over the rug
and the furniture.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Little hair on the rug doesn't hurt anything. I haven't
been that fussy.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
The dog stays outside, he sheds the hair here, he
sheds the hair there, he sheds the hair somewhere else.
Pretty soon, what have you got?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
A bald dog?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yes? And a rug that has to go to the
veterinarians to be clipped. The dog stays outside. I mean,
we have some homework to do, all right, boys, but
walk very carefully. I'll get it, would you please, Harriet.
I'm going out to the garage and smoke my pipe.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Op.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Hello, hello, Harriet, his mother?
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Mother? Something he sounded.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
I don't wonder there's strange things going on around here.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Something I should know about.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Oh no, mother, nothing important. In fact, it's a pleasure
for a change.
Speaker 11 (19:06):
I hate to say this, Harriet, but you aren't making
very much sense.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
I'm not trying to be mysterious. It's just that the
whole thing is a little difficult to explain. Ozzy and
I have been playing sort of a little game.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
Oh that nice.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
Valentine.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
See Shall I call back lady? Oh no, now he's
out in the garage.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Now no, mother, No, we're not playing actual games.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It's just that Ozzie's trying to teach me a lesson,
and I won't give him a tumble.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
Oh well, be careful there. Barry Anderson threw out our
sacril iliac and she was only playing charade.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
This is a different kind of a game. I gave
Ozzie a little lecture about messing up the house. So
now he and the boys have started a cleanup campaign.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
That sounds wonderful.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Well, yes, but they're trying it to ridiculous extremes. I
think the idea is for me to beg them to
get back to normal.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Then why don't you do it, dear, make them happy?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
No, I think I'll use a different approach, you know,
the old thing.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
There's more than one way to rope us.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Deer when you do what you like, Dear.
Speaker 11 (20:17):
You know I don't like you in a beer. I'll
forget the whole thing. I won't even call to see.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
How things work out, all right, mother, but to be
sure and call me, okay, mother?
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Goodbye?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
More? Oh him little?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
What are you doing out here in the garage?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
And missus Nelson's trying to keep the house clean? And
I get ashes on the carpets days it keeps the
moths away? Well, maybe so, but the smoke curls up
through the curtains and I kind of like to lean
back on the couch, and that crumples up the pillows.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
My Goodnessess, Chanelson. The man has his right to be
comfortable in his own home.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
After all, this garage is part of our home, and
you'd be surprised it's not too uncomfortable lying here on
the concrete.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
What does missus Nelton think of all this?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Or as a matter of fact, she started the whole
idea frankly, Amy Lucy was getting pretty darn sick and
tired of cleaning up the house only to have us
come along and mess it all up. She said, do you.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Want my opinion this, Chanelson?
Speaker 6 (21:33):
I think this whole thing is a dangerous threat to.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Your home and happiness.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Why don't see how I.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Read a book once where a woman became obsessed with
keeping her house clean.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It was awful.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
She worked from morning till night, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning be
got affecting her.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
She got to change in appearance.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
Her neck grew longer, she wanted all black smock.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
Her feet grew.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Together, and at the end of the book she wasn't
a woman any longer.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
She was a vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
What a terrifying story.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Yes, you can imagine taking a vacuum cleaner to a dam.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yes, the assumption to keep untying your shoes, you've got
to stay.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Them if you know you go in there, take a
damn mess up the house.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Maybe you're right.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Sure you're not a mouse. Take the bull by the horns.
Sure you're a lion. Not a lion, you've been the
goat long enough.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
No one of the houses a mess, all those animals
in it. On the hall table, Yes I know I did.
Where are your coach boys closet? The hall closet. Throw
them on the davenport where they belong.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Oh, boy's being tired of being.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, it's not that, Boy's not exactly. I'm doing it
for your mother. See, it's dangerous to have a house.
It's too nate. It can do things to you. It
can change your appearance, Ricky, don't buck up your lips
like that. You look like a back kim cleaner.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
I don't understand, Pop.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Simply this. We're gonna change this antiseptic tomb we've been
living in back to a comfortable home. We'll start, Yes,
we'll start by dropping this potted ivy right on the floor.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I don't make an awful mess.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Say well, she'll probably rant and ray for a few minutes,
fly off the handle. We can't help that. It's her
own good. Now, where's a good spot?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Hmm, here, David, take this and drop it right over
there on the floor.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Me, no, Pop, why don't you do it?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I have an idea, Ricky. You're closer to the floor.
Maybe if you dropped it, Ricky, Ricky, where did Ricky go? David? David,
m Maybe it might have the same general effect if
I just messed up a few pillows.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
After all, I.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Oh, my potted ivy all over the floor.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
But baby, I mean.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
All right, And honestly, I don't know how it happened.
I was standing here with the potted ivy in my hands,
and all of a sudden something yanked.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
My feet and down.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I went, oh, here, I'll give you a hand. Hey,
what's this?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, no wonder I fell down. Somebody lash owed me.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Yeah, for a minute, I thought I was going to
miss you.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You mean you deliberately lash owed me and made all
a mess.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Now, don't be angry with me, Dereck.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
But I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I thought you liked the house like missus Richardson's.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Well, not quite, dear, not. After talking to mister Richardson.
In fact, I got the last idea from him.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
From mister Richardson, uh huh, I.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Went over there to return a magazine I borrowed, And
there was mister Richardson, a big smile on his face,
stretched out on the couch, smoking his pipe, his feet
up on the radio phonograph, just having a wonderful time.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
For goodness sakes, where was missus Richardson.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Tied up on the back porch?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Then Harryndle back in just a moment.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Well, now that's the way things ought to be natural, livable.
And it was Harriet who said it's great too. There
are a lot of wives who could take a lesson
from Harriet, all right. A lot of wives get hysterical
over the tiniest bit of dust and blow their tops
when some little thing is out of place.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Practically make you take off your shoes when you come
in the house.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Of your wife like that.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Heck no, my wife swelled.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Maybe that's why I bought her that set of eighteen
forty seven Rogers Brothers last week. And you know, mister Smith,
you're absolutely right about that eighteen forty seven silverware.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's really great, isn't it? Really beautiful workmanship?
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Well where else but in eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers
could you find those gem like open work knife handles,
for example, or the extraordinary height and depth of the
beautiful ornamentation. And then there are the striking patterns themselves,
each one. You know, adoration eternally yours first love and
remembrance is designed to suit an individual.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Taste and preference.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
I was pretty impressed with the price of eighteen forty
seven Rogers Brothers.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Too. Hasn't gone up a sin since nineteen forty five.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Oh, that's a wonderful thing, all right, And gosh, I
bet you're getting lots of attention since you gave your
wife that set.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
As a matter of fact, mister Smith, she's.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Been so busy showing it to everybody on Rogers Road
that I've hardly seen her. Wish she'd settle down. The
house is beginning to look all upset. Well, you got
to expect that kind of reaction, you know, After all,
eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers is the finest silver plate
in America. Oh and by the way, there's an interesting
story and color pictures of the Nelson family in the
(26:49):
March issue of Movie Stars Parade magazine.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Harriet, Harriet, are you awake just about what's the matter?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Something's been preying on my mind? For hours. Where did
you learn to use a lasso?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Go to sleep?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Find chance with this thing? And running through my brain?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
What's running through your brain?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
The thought of you and that lasso. You're too good
with it? I keep slinking back to our wedding day?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
What about it?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Tell me the truth?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Was I roped in?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Turn in again?
Speaker 2 (27:50):

Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:03):
It was very nice. She's the most perfect housekeeper I've
ever seen. Her house is absolutely immaculate.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, that's what I understand.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Her table looked just beautiful. Of course, there was a good.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
And Harriet Hiers.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Say, there's something strange going on in the living room
of the Nelson's at eighteen forty seven Rogers Road. There's David,
age twelve, and Ricky, age eight, on their hands and knees,
creeping toward the davenport.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Their faces look so serious.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Must be somebody hiding back there.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I wonder who it is.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Maybe it's Nick, the family dog, or maybe it's little
Will Thornberry from next door. Hey, those feet look offul
big for why it's Ozzy. Now, what's a full grown
man doing hiding behind the Davenport?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
We got okay, fellas, Okay, you caught me. I surrender,
jee coon.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
You're playing right.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
We're supposed to be the cowboys and you're a bad Indian.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, I'm doing the best I can.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
We're supposed to show a little fine. Well.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I've been saying bang bang, but you guys won't fall down.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
You've been missing us. According to the laws of Fort
and Nelson, you're entitled.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
To a trial.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I vote, we shoot him.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
I wote we shoot him too.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It was hardly worth getting the judge out of bed for.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Indian.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Have you any last words?
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Me quit?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You can't quit, pop, David.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
This is the third time you've captured me, and it's
a third time I've been sentenced to be shot and
I quit.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Don't quit now, Pop.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Let us capture you once more, like the first time
when we tie jup.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Hell, okay, just once more, though, we Indians have other
things to do. Say afternoon, I have to pose for
a new nickel.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
You get the laugh through, Ricky, I'll hight here bhind
this cactus bush?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Which cactus bush?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
This one here with the yellow lampshade on it.
Speaker 9 (03:00):
Most time.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I think I'll surprise you guys and show a little fight.
I think he's about time the Indian tied up to
rather short cowboys.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
That's what I've been saying, Pops, been making it too easy.
You get him from that side, Ricky, I'll get him
from this side.
Speaker 10 (03:13):
Grab seat, David through the last due.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
Now you know.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
A little different this time, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
How do you like this.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Team?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Sure? Strong, Pop, you can really fight when.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You wonks boys. Now untie me and letting me up.
Speaker 11 (03:38):
Almost over there, Ricky, that's it, now you can get up.
Speaker 9 (03:42):
Pop.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Watch your foot.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Oh, holy smokes.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
You really busted it.
Speaker 10 (03:48):
Pop, nothing, Harriet, nothing serious, Come on, Ricky, Ricky.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He's already goney.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
For goodness, takes my antique day?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Hi, goodnes help, but I bumped into it accidentally. Beside,
antiques are supposed to look old. Certainly looks much older now.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
The whole living room looks older. What happened to the
scattered rugs?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh they're scattered around her place.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Looks like a cyclone hit it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh, Harriet, don't be so fussy.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
I don't mind telling you.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
I'm getting pretty tired.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Of straightening things up around here, the more work I do,
the messy of the place looks.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Suppose it does look a little disorderly now and then,
after all, it's a home. People live here.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's no reason for it to be messed up all
the time.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Do you know anybody's home that looks nicer than ours?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 8 (04:35):
Missus Richardson's, for one. Her place looks absolutely immaculate all
the time.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, she doesn't have any children to mess the place up.
Don't forget we have two, We have three here.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Pick up your Indian hat. Tanto.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Hello, missus Nelson. Oh, mister Richardson, come in, Thank you.
I hope you'll excuse the appearance of this living room.
The boys have just finished the game of Cowboys in India.
Speaker 9 (05:10):
Oh, forget it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
As a matter of fact, Oh.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Mister richard Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Oh I don't know
who could have.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Put that footstool.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Let me help you up.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
None at all, not at all.
Speaker 9 (05:26):
Please think nothing of it, Missus Nelson. It's been a
long time since I've clipped over a footstool.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I have a chair, won't you?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
But I really can't stay.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
I just stopped by it with this issue of Good Housekeeping.
Missus Richardson said there was an article and that you
wanted to read.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Oh, thanks very much, but I could have picked it up.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, it was right on the way.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
I have to go to the store and get Missus
Richardson some scowling powder.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I have a can of a chicken. Have we buy it?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
By the case.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Your Alive is such a wonderful house keep her. I
do envy her. So your house always looks so immaculate.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Yes it does, doesn't it.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
What a pleasure it must be to live in a
house like that.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
Yes, Missus Richardson enjoys it very much. She used to
be a bacteriologist, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Oh please sit down.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You can't stay for a few minutes.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Can't you?
Speaker 9 (06:22):
All right?
Speaker 8 (06:23):
I will? Oh, Oh my goodness, I guess one of
the boys left this pencil box on the chair.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I'm so sorry, mister richards.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh quite all right.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
It's been a long time since I've sat on the
pencil box.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
I wish i'd known you were stopping by.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I could have at least given the house a quick
going over.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
Really, Missus Nelson, it looks wonderful, very comfortable. Reminds me
of our house back home when I was a boy.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
We have two youngsters, and you know how boys are
about keeping things orderly.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
May I ask you a very direct question, missus Nelson.
Of course, Well you've seen my wife at various social affairs.
You've played bridge with her, seen her club meetings. Yes,
how does she look without a dust cap flying?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Mister Richardson? She doesn't spend that much time cleaning the house,
does she.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Missus Nelson.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I love my wife. She's a wonderful woman.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
We've been married now for ten years, ten spotless antiscepty,
But living in our house is like living in the
operating room of a hospital.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Would you mind awfully if I smoke my pipe?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Of course, not go out of head?
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Oh thank you, Oh you're very kind. Been a long
time since I've smoked the house on a wonderful day.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Dripped over a footstool.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
Sat on a pencil box.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Now I'm smoking my pibe.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Why don't you put your feet up on the hassock,
make a.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Day of it?
Speaker 9 (08:18):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Am I keeping you from anything, missus Nelson?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Oh, nothing important. I just have to wash the dishes
a little later. The sink's full of.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Them dirty dishes?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Could I see them now?
Speaker 9 (08:38):
You're kidding, mister Richard, perhaps a little, But I do
mean this, every word of it. Don't ever change anything
about this house, missus Nelson.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's perfect. As I walked in the door, something seemed
to say, this is a real home.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
People live here, happy, comfortable people.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Oh oz, hi a Thorny, how's You're just the man
I've been waiting for. I have a present for you,
present for me, Yes, sir, I've been cleaning up the
yard and I came across an.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Old boiler and it's yours.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh thank you, Thorny, But I really have no use
for an old boilers, either of I.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
How you like it?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
It's rusty, makes the water nice and red. It gives
you a ruddy complexion.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I hate to see him unappreciative, Thorny, but I really
don't want.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's a present.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You can't give it back.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I haven't accepted it.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You have, so I carried it over and leaned.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
It against your garage. You haven't said thank you, oz,
but I know it's in your heart and you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I bet I can guess what happened at your house,
Catherine pushed you outside to clean up the yard.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
What a ridiculous idea.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Not the same thing at our house. Harriet's on clean
up campaign too. She just practically drove me out of
the house gave me a big lecture about keeping things neat.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
And nat As a matter of fact, I think she's right.
You're kidding, No, I'm not us I really mean it.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Just think of all the things a woman has to
do around the house. She does the cleaning, the cooking,
the shopping, taking care of the kids, and the sewing, the.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Mending of the laundry.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
The least we men can do is co operate, try
to make her job a little easier.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And maybe you're right, THORNI of course.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
I am, matter of fact. Until you started talking about it,
I never realized what a wonderful job Catherine does around
our house. Work, work, work all day long, seven days
a week, standing over a hot stove all day, cooking meals,
mending clothes, getting me off to work on time, keeping
the place tidy. You know something, Oz, I'm going in
the house and tell Catherine to stop this grind and.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Get out for a little fun.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I'll see you later.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh, what's the matter of Thornie?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I just remember, Catherine's not home.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
She's out playing bridge someblati.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hi Pop, hello boys, Ricky? Are those your books on
the hall stairs?
Speaker 5 (11:10):
There are?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well, take them upstairs, will you please?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
As a matter of fact, fellows, from now on, we're
going to be a little more careful about keeping things
neat around here.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Are we gonna have company?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
No? No, it has nothing to do with company. It
says that we've got to start showing a little consideration
for your mother. I just went upstairs and there was
a towel lying right in the middle of the bathroom floor.
Somebody just thrown it down.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Wasn't me, pomp, wasn't me.
Speaker 10 (11:33):
I haven't washed my hands for a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'm gonna start making some new rules around here. No
more lounging on the sofa with our feet propped up
on a chair, No more throwing banana peels in the fireplace,
no more rope whirling in here, and no more pillow
fights in the bedroom.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Is this how it is when you're in jail, Pop.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
No, Ricky, this is how it is when you're part
of a well or organized family. We're gonna help your
mother keep our house well organized. No more wrestling in
the living room, no more tossing the football in the house,
no more sliding down the banister, and no more shooting
firecrackers in the cellar. Holy smart, you guys have been
home about an hour and it looks like a mess.
Let's start and right now by straightening up this room
(12:21):
make it just as neat and clean as missus Richardson's.
Come on, we'll make a game of it.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
Okay, come on, David, I'll be hob On Cassidy and
pop the cattle seat.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
No, no, no, lot, This time, I have a better
game in mine. Let's make believe where the Nelson clean
up commandos. I'll be the captain and you guys will
be my troops.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
You don't have to do that, Pop.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, I just thought the idea of the game would
make it easier if you guys live up to be
a lot of fun, you and Ricky being the troops.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
You don't have to make it a game, Pop.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Okay if you don't want to make it a game,
but let's get started anyway.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
Ready, pure hop we said.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You don't, David, Did I give you an argument when
you wanted to be cowboys. Now, let's go, guys.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I sure hate to see the Nelson House get like
a one for mister Richardson lives in. But if that's
the way Harriet wants it, that's the way it'll have
to be. It's the woman who makes the rules, you know.
It had been that way for years, and it's still
the thing to do, just the way. It's still the
thing for a guy and his girl to go for
a stroll on Sunday afternoon. And it's still the thing
when that young couple are married to own eighteen forty
(13:46):
seven Rogers Brothers, the finest silver plate in America. Yes, now,
as over a century ago, eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers
is the right choice for silver plate whose beauty and
workmanship is unexcelled. Now as then, that famous year mark
eighteen forty seven stands.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
For the very best.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Nowhere else will you find the same lovely features, the
superior imagination of the pattern designs, the exquisite detail, the
extra luster and weight of each piece. Only eighteen forty
seven is so much like solid silver.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So see it tomorrow, won't you?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
For remember it's still the thing as it was over
a century ago to choose eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers
the finest silver plate in America. Man's work is from
(14:44):
sun to sun, but a woman's work is never done. Yes,
it's an old familiar saying, but it's based on years
and years of experience. Through the ages, historians have recorded
proof that man never changes. Back in the old Roman Empire,
there was Antony and Cleopatra.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
Anthony the hair in the milk bath, Cleiol Anthony, I'm.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Getting tired of this. You always leave your things lying
around the trophy.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Rooms a mess.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
But baby, from now on, I want to place kept
in order. But baby, I mean it, starting today, when
you finished your milk bath, don't leave the empty bottles
in the tub.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Even before Anthony and Cleopatra, back in the days of
the caveman, woman was faced with the same problem as.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
It all as a hair in the dinosaur room owner.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
So I'm disgusted. Look at this place. It looks like
an absolute myss.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But baby, you ought to be ashamed.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Look at yourself, a full grown man four foot three.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
I spend all day cleaning and out.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Look at it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But baby, what's wrong with it?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
This cave looks like a hole in the wall.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Even royal families have encountered this domestic conflict. In one
particular case, I think the husband deserved the sympathy, the
case of King Solomon.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Sorry, are tired of this.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
We try and keep the palace queen, and you eat
messy lass. Why can you help us keep the tie?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
But babies.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Today at eighteen forty seven Rogers Road, three sturdy souls
have set forth to rectify this injustice. Now, with contented
smiles and aching bags, they carefully seat themselves in the
living room, which they have put in order. Not a spot,
not a smudge, not a thing out of place. Yes,
it's a pretty self satisfied Ozzie, David and Rickey.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That great, Harriet as she enters, Oh well.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Hello, so quiet. I didn't think anybody was in the house.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
A home should be quiet, Harriet.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
I'm wearing my walled pask because my care has made
too much noise.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
I want to walk around.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Down to the living room.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's so clean, the way home should be.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
How did you put your feet up on the footstool?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
There, no, no, Harriet, I'll just keep them flat on
the floor. They look so much neat.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
That way, David, why don't you and Ricky play a
game of cards or something instead of just sitting there
like a couple of wooden Indians.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
We didn't want to get out the card table, Mom,
it might mess up the living room.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Oh, David, go ahead and get out the card table.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Giannis mar.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
No, thanks.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
I guess we'll just sit here like a couple of
wooden Indians.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I can't get over this house looking so neat and clean.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We've done a pretty good job. Don't you think I
ran the vacuum.
Speaker 11 (17:47):
I guess it.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I washed the windows.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I will not a spec on it. So clean it
doesn't even look like it's there.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
We didn't pop.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I left it open.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
You better close it, David. We don't want a lot
of dust blowing around in here. Where's Nick outside in
the yard where a dog is supposed to be Harriet,
We don't want them getting hair all over the rug
and the furniture.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Little hair on the rug doesn't hurt anything. I haven't
been that fussy.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
The dog stays outside, he sheds the hair here, he
sheds the hair there, he sheds the hair somewhere else.
Pretty soon, what have you got?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
A bald dog?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yes? And a rug that has to go to the
veterinarians to be clipped. The dog stays outside. I mean,
we have some homework to do, all right, boys, but
walk very carefully. I'll get it, would you please, Harriet.
I'm going out to the garage and smoke my pipe.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Op.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Hello, hello, Harriet, his mother?
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Mother? Something he sounded.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
I don't wonder there's strange things going on around here.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Something I should know about.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Oh no, mother, nothing important. In fact, it's a pleasure
for a change.
Speaker 11 (19:06):
I hate to say this, Harriet, but you aren't making
very much sense.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
I'm not trying to be mysterious. It's just that the
whole thing is a little difficult to explain. Ozzy and
I have been playing sort of a little game.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
Oh that nice.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
Valentine.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
See Shall I call back lady? Oh no, now he's
out in the garage.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Now no, mother, No, we're not playing actual games.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It's just that Ozzie's trying to teach me a lesson,
and I won't give him a tumble.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
Oh well, be careful there. Barry Anderson threw out our
sacril iliac and she was only playing charade.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
This is a different kind of a game. I gave
Ozzie a little lecture about messing up the house. So
now he and the boys have started a cleanup campaign.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
That sounds wonderful.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Well, yes, but they're trying it to ridiculous extremes. I
think the idea is for me to beg them to
get back to normal.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Then why don't you do it, dear, make them happy?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
No, I think I'll use a different approach, you know,
the old thing.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
There's more than one way to rope us.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Deer when you do what you like, Dear.
Speaker 11 (20:17):
You know I don't like you in a beer. I'll
forget the whole thing. I won't even call to see.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
How things work out, all right, mother, but to be
sure and call me, okay, mother?
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Goodbye?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
More? Oh him little?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
What are you doing out here in the garage?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
And missus Nelson's trying to keep the house clean? And
I get ashes on the carpets days it keeps the
moths away? Well, maybe so, but the smoke curls up
through the curtains and I kind of like to lean
back on the couch, and that crumples up the pillows.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
My Goodnessess, Chanelson. The man has his right to be
comfortable in his own home.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
After all, this garage is part of our home, and
you'd be surprised it's not too uncomfortable lying here on
the concrete.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
What does missus Nelton think of all this?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Or as a matter of fact, she started the whole
idea frankly, Amy Lucy was getting pretty darn sick and
tired of cleaning up the house only to have us
come along and mess it all up. She said, do you.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Want my opinion this, Chanelson?
Speaker 6 (21:33):
I think this whole thing is a dangerous threat to.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Your home and happiness.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Why don't see how I.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Read a book once where a woman became obsessed with
keeping her house clean.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It was awful.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
She worked from morning till night, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning be
got affecting her.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
She got to change in appearance.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
Her neck grew longer, she wanted all black smock.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
Her feet grew.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Together, and at the end of the book she wasn't
a woman any longer.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
She was a vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
What a terrifying story.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Yes, you can imagine taking a vacuum cleaner to a dam.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yes, the assumption to keep untying your shoes, you've got
to stay.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Them if you know you go in there, take a
damn mess up the house.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Maybe you're right.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Sure you're not a mouse. Take the bull by the horns.
Sure you're a lion. Not a lion, you've been the
goat long enough.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
No one of the houses a mess, all those animals
in it. On the hall table, Yes I know I did.
Where are your coach boys closet? The hall closet. Throw
them on the davenport where they belong.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Oh, boy's being tired of being.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, it's not that, Boy's not exactly. I'm doing it
for your mother. See, it's dangerous to have a house.
It's too nate. It can do things to you. It
can change your appearance, Ricky, don't buck up your lips
like that. You look like a back kim cleaner.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
I don't understand, Pop.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Simply this. We're gonna change this antiseptic tomb we've been
living in back to a comfortable home. We'll start, Yes,
we'll start by dropping this potted ivy right on the floor.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I don't make an awful mess.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Say well, she'll probably rant and ray for a few minutes,
fly off the handle. We can't help that. It's her
own good. Now, where's a good spot?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Hmm, here, David, take this and drop it right over
there on the floor.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Me, no, Pop, why don't you do it?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I have an idea, Ricky. You're closer to the floor.
Maybe if you dropped it, Ricky, Ricky, where did Ricky go? David? David,
m Maybe it might have the same general effect if
I just messed up a few pillows.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
After all, I.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Oh, my potted ivy all over the floor.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
But baby, I mean.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
All right, And honestly, I don't know how it happened.
I was standing here with the potted ivy in my hands,
and all of a sudden something yanked.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
My feet and down.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I went, oh, here, I'll give you a hand. Hey,
what's this?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, no wonder I fell down. Somebody lash owed me.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Yeah, for a minute, I thought I was going to
miss you.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You mean you deliberately lash owed me and made all
a mess.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Now, don't be angry with me, Dereck.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
But I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I thought you liked the house like missus Richardson's.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Well, not quite, dear, not. After talking to mister Richardson.
In fact, I got the last idea from him.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
From mister Richardson, uh huh, I.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Went over there to return a magazine I borrowed, And
there was mister Richardson, a big smile on his face,
stretched out on the couch, smoking his pipe, his feet
up on the radio phonograph, just having a wonderful time.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
For goodness sakes, where was missus Richardson.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Tied up on the back porch?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Then Harryndle back in just a moment.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Well, now that's the way things ought to be natural, livable.
And it was Harriet who said it's great too. There
are a lot of wives who could take a lesson
from Harriet, all right. A lot of wives get hysterical
over the tiniest bit of dust and blow their tops
when some little thing is out of place.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Practically make you take off your shoes when you come
in the house.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Of your wife like that.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Heck no, my wife swelled.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Maybe that's why I bought her that set of eighteen
forty seven Rogers Brothers last week. And you know, mister Smith,
you're absolutely right about that eighteen forty seven silverware.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's really great, isn't it? Really beautiful workmanship?
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Well where else but in eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers
could you find those gem like open work knife handles,
for example, or the extraordinary height and depth of the
beautiful ornamentation. And then there are the striking patterns themselves,
each one. You know, adoration eternally yours first love and
remembrance is designed to suit an individual.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Taste and preference.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
I was pretty impressed with the price of eighteen forty
seven Rogers Brothers.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Too. Hasn't gone up a sin since nineteen forty five.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Oh, that's a wonderful thing, all right, And gosh, I
bet you're getting lots of attention since you gave your
wife that set.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
As a matter of fact, mister Smith, she's.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Been so busy showing it to everybody on Rogers Road
that I've hardly seen her. Wish she'd settle down. The
house is beginning to look all upset. Well, you got
to expect that kind of reaction, you know, After all,
eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers is the finest silver plate
in America. Oh and by the way, there's an interesting
story and color pictures of the Nelson family in the
(26:49):
March issue of Movie Stars Parade magazine.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Harriet, Harriet, are you awake just about what's the matter?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Something's been preying on my mind? For hours. Where did
you learn to use a lasso?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Go to sleep?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Find chance with this thing? And running through my brain?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
What's running through your brain?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
The thought of you and that lasso. You're too good
with it? I keep slinking back to our wedding day?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
What about it?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Tell me the truth?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Was I roped in?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Turn in again?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Next week another adventure of Ozzie and Harriet storrying Ozzie,
no Lenen.
