How about it.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
I'll sell this to the first person silly enough to
say ten dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
That did it?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Ten dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I don't know why you didn't want to open it
down there, dear.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Well, there's no sense taking chances. It just might be
something real valuable.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Hurry up, pop, I can hardly wait.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I'll get the knife and kinds of strings.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, calm down, boys, don't get excited. I can break
the string and tear off the top with my hands.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Here we are, hurry up. I'm dying to know what
it is.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
You sure have this thing packed well enough? Whatever it is?
What is this? Holy smoke?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Get your glass basketball?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Looks like a crystal ball to me. Well, that's exactly
what it is, Harry.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
We've been swindled. That big crook has deliberately cheated us.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Well it's for a good cause, dear.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Oh, I realized that, and I'm happy to donate ten dollars.
I just don't like to be made a full.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Of I thought, sure it was gonna be ice cream,
fine swimdle, but I'll be the man said it is,
I not be worth anything.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Well, sure, he said that. I know how those fellows work.
They pick out some guy in the audience. It looks
like a yoko No, no, yokel David Sack. No, no, no,
you mean sucker, don't you cop?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
No?

Speaker 4 (07:30):
I mean they pick somebody who looks like a generous,
kind hearted, chatable.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Person and an unload. They're worthless, junk on the poor sucker.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
That's so.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
I think the best thing to do is just philosophical
about it.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
The thing that makes me so mad is such a
disappointment to the boys. Doesn't bother me, pops me either.

Speaker 9 (07:49):
Look at your mother trying to laugh it off, and
all the while she's ready.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
To burst into tears. But no, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Honestly, go ahead and cross you.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Want to pop.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Don't admit I am a little letdown. Frankly, I thought
I was a better judge of human.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Nature than that. There's no sense getting.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Bitter about it. You ain't mad at the auctioneer. Why
should I be?

Speaker 9 (08:16):
Why blame him?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It wasn't his fault.

Speaker 9 (08:18):
You're just doing a job.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Cheating people's probably the only trade he knows.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I think it's kind of pretty. Besides, you might have
some fun with it, you know.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
I'll bet it's that it's the only crystal ball in town.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
You boys are better start getting undressed now. I'll go
run your baths for you. Which is forem pomps.

Speaker 9 (08:37):
We're you're supposed to gaze into it and see miraculous visions,
you know, mystic stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
There are a lot of bunk, aren't they, Pops.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
I wouldn't say that, David.

Speaker 9 (08:45):
Anything that's been going on for centuries must have something
in his favor. Men have been gazing into crystal balls
for all these years. They must see something.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
All I can see is a big blue eye staring
at me.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Well, that's your own. I ain't getting there. It's at
the reflection, you see. A man would sit with the
crystal ball on a table in front of him like this,
and he'd gaze into it and tell what he saw.
I turn off the lights with you. No, that's side switch.
After that turns them all off. I'll just leave this

(09:19):
desk lamp on.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
This is really spooky, boy. Oh, Ricky, stop holding my hand.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Why, boy, let's get into the mood of this. I'm
gazing into the crystal ball. I see something. It's blurred
and far away. Now it's coming closer.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
This is a lot of bunks. I see a small
boy with a butch haircut.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
That's me.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
He's in a schoolroom in the second row.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's me, Pop, that's me.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
He's studying very intently. I knew this was a lot
of hooey. I'll see now he's studying a history book. Yes,
studying it very.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Care stops looking at me.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
What's this inside the history there's a comic book. That
must be the kid in front of me.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Here's a school and arn't your farm? What have we here?
My crystal ball now shows me another boy.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
He too is in a classroom, but he's in trouble
with his teachers.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Hey, David, that's you. He has to stay after school.
Keep quiet, keep I see it all in the crystal
They're a dangerous boy.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Can you still see the schoolroom? Pop?

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Oh, sure, the schoolroom and all the children.

Speaker 9 (10:35):
Then tell me something about the person who sits in
front of me.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Well, I see a person of about your age.

Speaker 9 (10:44):
This person is wearing school clothes, and this person keeps
looking forward to summer vacation.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Gee, that's everybody in the class.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Is your boy or a girl? Oh that's not easy.
We'll have to concentrate on that.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Is she a boy or a girl?

Speaker 3 (11:07):
I see a hair ribbon, I see a dress. P
here's my boysh ricky.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is she a boy or is she a girl?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Joila, she is a girl.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Wait till Tommy Johnson hear's that.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
In here?

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Just gazing into the crystal ball, Harriet, huh? And I
see two boys taking a short trip, a trip that
seems to have something to do with water.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't believe.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
It's the truth.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Come on, boy, your bads already.

Speaker 9 (11:47):
I look deep into the crystal ball, into the whirlpool
of time, into the mists.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Of the future.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
I hear range voices. Perhaps I've found the secret of
the crystal the key to the lock that opens the future.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Ozzi, it's as though some woman were calling my name.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Some strange, beautiful, exotic creatures. Ozzie, come on here, it's
lay What is this vision?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
What strange and fantastic creature are you?

Speaker 2 (12:23):
That's not funny. You've seen these hair curers lots of time.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Oh, horrid. You broke the spell. I'm just beginning to
get the hang of this thing. If you keep looking
long enough, you're bound to see something.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
You know you see me getting up to fix breakfast.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Come on to bed.

Speaker 9 (12:39):
I'll be there in just a minute.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
You know you're not doing that right. That desk lamp
gives off much too much light. The moon is supposed
to have occult powers. Why just put it over on
the night stand and look at it by the reflection
of the moon. Yeah, that might work with us.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Now, where can I sit and look at it?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I have an idea. Why don't you get into bed.
You're supposed to be completely relaxed while you watch it.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, maybe you're right. It's a lot better than sitting up.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Now, stretch out, lean your head back. I'll turn up
the electric blanket a little.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
There you are.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Not, just relax, stretch out, watch your crystal ball. Relax,
Put your head on the saw and stretch out. Watch
your crystal balls. Blending dreams swammy, same.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
To you, smarty, Hey, what do you think about this?
Do you believe in crystal balls?

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Well, look, if you happen to have one around the house,
take a look in it, right, now does it tell
you that open stock pieces of eighteen forty seven Rochers
Brothers are again available and that you can get those
open stock pieces at the same price you paid for
them in nineteen forty one.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
It does, eureka, that's right, absolutely right.

Speaker 6 (14:30):

the four lovely eighteen forty seven patterns for the first
time in eight years. There's even a special eighteen forty
seven Rochers Brothers completing set, complete with the open stock pieces.

Ice drink spoons and eight oister forks. The completing set

Your silverware dealer first.

Speaker 6 (15:11):
Thing in the morning and tell your friends about it.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Open stock pieces of eighteen forty.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Seven Rogers Brothers are again available and at nineteen forty
one prices. That's eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers, the finest
silver plate in America. Throughout the years since man first

(15:38):
began to wonder and fear what tomorrow would bring the
assaut to look into the future. Among the many mystics
of the last century, the most famous of all was
the Great Nelson Osie. See him now as he gazes
into his crystal ball, pondering some great problem of the future.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Icye gLing himbos.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
I see fox's bread flame names blue flames lend me.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I saw he's your pads on fire.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
Following in the footsteps of Nelsonosi the Great was his son,
Nelsonosi the Great Junior. With his father's crystal balls, he
amazed millions with.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
His accurate predictions. I see a wonderful career for you,
my boys. You will become one of the.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
World's greatest violinists. But beware of your generosity. I see
you spending money lavishly, foolishly.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Thank you, Swami. What is your name, my boy Jack?

Speaker 6 (16:39):
Many see that man gazing into the deep mystic pools
of the future. As Ozzie Nelson of eighteen forty seven
Rogers road on his head, he wears the ancient turban
or as it is sometimes called bathtal very sits gazing

(17:00):
into the crystal ball.

Speaker 9 (17:02):
Crystal unveil my eyes to the secret you hold.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Some crystal balls, Milton. Oh, I mean low, come on in.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I heard about your crystal ball and I just had
to come over.

Speaker 9 (17:18):
Have you seen anything in it yet? No, not a
darned thing.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
But you've gotta keep trying, mitter Milton. Ring it over
here by the window, raise the shape so we can see.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's no use, Milton. But I've been looking at it
all day. What does the future hold for me?

Speaker 9 (17:34):
I asked, Just sit there staring at me with that
blank expression.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Oh please, mister Nelson, please try once more.

Speaker 9 (17:41):
Well, okay, yeah, let me get it on the table here.
Oh crystal ball, you've got to talk with it. Give
me some sign of an event in my future. Deep

(18:03):
deep into the swirling death.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Amy, what was working? I see something?

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Let me know.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
It's nothing.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
It's a baby.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
A baby? What does it mean?

Speaker 1 (18:16):
It means it's somebody in your family. It's gonna be
a mother. Nobody's gonna have a baby, yes, but who
there's a Nelson of cars?

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Certainly? Why not? Oh, she has so many other things
to do.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Can's not here in the crystal ball.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
I'm gonna rush home and tell him mother.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
She'll want to give you a shower.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
You mean, no, no, no, it's the customary thing to
give the bride a shower. I can't understand why missus
Nelson hasn't.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Told me, but you know how women are mis alson.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
She probably wants to surprise.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
You all she does, does she? Well, I think i'll
surprise her. You know what I'm gonna do.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
I'm gonna on the emporium and order a complete layer
all the baby things, and then.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Something the matter.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Mister Nelson, do you have a stranger's look on your base?

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (19:15):
I was just thinking how nice a pickle or a
piece of watermelon would take.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
We will look at we fun. Let me do it.
It's in here in the bottle of the box. Oh
you mean in the big.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Box, Daddy ball, the one the crystal ball came in.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
Yeah, it was way down in the barn.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Well, i'll be during.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
What is it? Let's see?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
This is a cord.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
This must be the base, and this is evidently the shade. Oh, oh,
poor daddy, his magic crystal ball is nothing but.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
A lamp, Poor daddy.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
What about me?

Speaker 5 (19:52):
I want an ice cream. Look, boys, daddy's having so
much fun being a swami.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
That's not telling right away?

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Shall we?

Speaker 1 (19:59):
I want to nice?

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Great?

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Well, here's a quarter. You can both get some JESU.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
Now you guys run along, because I've got some sewing
to do.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
All right in here?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Well there have you been having her?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Don't speak? Let me drink in this beautiful scene.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
There you sit in the platform rocker. The bloom of
life tints your cheeks and your lap. There's a sewing
basket soon, a flashing needle. Swiftly make tiny garments?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Harriet?

Speaker 3 (20:35):
What makes you think you can keep a secret from
me who's trying to keep a seat all that?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
How did you find that out?

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Believe it or not?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
I saw it in the crystal ball.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
So if you saw it in the crystal ball, and
you know it's not a crystal ball, well.

Speaker 9 (20:49):
All right, I'm surprised you making jokes about anything as beautiful.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
As that beautiful.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Of course I haven't seen it as Simmels, but I'll
bet it's the ugliest thing you ever late eyes.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
On, Harriet, what a thing to say?

Speaker 9 (21:10):
Oh, I'm sorry, dar you you must be tired, or
at least a little dizzy.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Maybe would you like to lie down for a while.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Wait a minute, maybe we're not talking about the same secret.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
By golly, I'll bet you don't even know about it yet. Harry,
I've got wonderful news. You're gonna have a baby.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
Well, man, why did you have to go and tell me?

Speaker 2 (21:29):
I love surprises?

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Really, Harry, You're going to be a mother and I'm
going to be a father.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Well that works out very nicely.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
It's the truth.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
I thought, my crystal ball adee, I think you've got.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
That tall rap too tight around your head.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Okay, I'll show you. Come on in the living room.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Well, after you get through there, i'll tell.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
You my secret.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
You see, Just stay where you are. I'll bring it
over the table.

Speaker 9 (21:57):
Well, just looking there, you see it.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
I certainly do quite a baby.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Are you kidding? Or do you really see it?

Speaker 2 (22:08):
I want such a beautiful baby too, that lovely red hair.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Are those a new bathing suits?

Speaker 1 (22:15):
What are you?

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Oh? No, wonder new baby suit?

Speaker 7 (22:20):
Harrd.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
You've got the crystal ball sitting on my Esquire magazine.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
You're looking at one of the pictures.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Where did you have the crystal ball sitting right over
there on the Ladies Home journal.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
But you can you put it lady's home journal? Oh no,
I said, Oh he is cute.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
They always look so pink and sweet in those ads.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (22:49):
Well, I guess my little joke on you didn't work?

Speaker 3 (22:51):
What little joke you mean? You really thought I was
serious about seeing a baby in the crystal ball?

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Or you did sound pretty convincing?

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Was they?

Speaker 5 (22:58):
Aren't you gonna ask me about my secret?

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Well? That's right? What is your secret?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Well?

Speaker 5 (23:02):
I hope it won't be too much of a disappointment,
But it seems there's more to your crystal ball than
you think.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
You mean, some magic words or something. I hate to.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Disillusion your dear, but your crystal ball is really part
of a lamp. The boys found the other pieces in
the box.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Then it isn't even a crystal ball.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
No, I'm afraid not.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
How do you like that? Just part of a lamp?

Speaker 2 (23:25):
An old mysterious.

Speaker 9 (23:29):
All right, I'll but it's some sort of a magic lamp,
like an Aladdin lamp.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Ozzie, why don't you just admit that you've donated ten.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Dollars to charity? Perhaps an oriental wishing lamp.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's funny, Ozzie, What did you order? From the emporium.
The truck is stopped in front of our house.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Oh, just a few baby things, baby, did I say
baby things? Well? Yes, why did you order them? This
calls for an explanation. You'll have one as soon as
I can think of one.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Whole crystal ball. I'm seeking an explanation, Harriet. Are you asleep? Yes, Darren,

(24:29):
so are you?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Oh? I'm not either, Harriot. Did you notice the shade
on that lamp?

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Ozzie, The crystal ball is not a real one, and
the lamp is not a Laddin's lamp.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
I know, I know, you don't have to keep talking
about it. I just wanted if you noticed.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
The lamp shade some sort of parchment, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yes, an old parchment, very old parchment. And there's a
map of the Caribbean, the area where all the old
pirates bury their treasure.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
A wonderful idea, then you think it might be a
real treasure map.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
To know that.

Speaker 7 (25:06):
I've been wondering what to do with the lamp.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Now I know tomorrow I'm going.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
To take it out in the backyard and bury it.
