so I wanted to make sure. If I put

down I'm the head of the family...

nobody would know

the difference, right?

I'll put it down...

I really like you.

Are you married?

- No.

- Oh. When you get married...

don't be like

that whippo I married.

Would you?

- I'll try my best not to be.

- All right.

- Thank you so much. It's nice

talking to you. - You're welcome.

- Good-bye.

- Good-bye.

This is Mr. Whittington.

You were talking to a Mr...

Oh, Valenti, the man

who blows bicycle pump...

on the Ted Mack Original

Amateur Hour. Yes.

Yes, well, I've...

I've been trying to get

in touch with Mr. Mack.

Because...

well, I've tried to...

Well, I play music on

something unusual myself.

We're always looking for

original amateur talent.

Mr. Valenti is unusual

for the fact...

that he not only blows

"Oh, Johnny" on the bicycle pump...

but also does nail file

on a high, flat table...

and also plays

the vacuum cleaner nozzle.

"It's a Great Day

for the Irish."

You say you do

something unusual?

- Well, what do you do, may I ask?

- I play meat.

- You what?

- I play meat.

You play meat?

- Yes, meat. You know, beef

and pork? - That's sick, man.

- M-e-a-t, meat?

- Yes.

It may sound a little strange.

Yeah. I don't mean

to hurt your feelings,

but I've never heard of anybody

who plays meat.

- A lot of people think it's strange.

- Yes, I can understand that.

- No offense. Are you serious

about this? - Yes, I've...

worked here as

an assistant butcher...

and I've found in a cold

storage locker there...

Yes, sir. Whatever

you want, I got it.

- What do you want?

- Fill it with Ethyl.

If Ethel don't mind.

- Want me to check under the hood

for you? - Please. Yes.

Looks like you could use

a new radiator hose.

Where have I heard that before?

I'll get one later.

- You're the boss.

- Not in my house, I'm not.

- Attendant?

- Yes, sir?

- You got change for the telephone?

- Yes, sir.

I'll get you the rest later?

Be with you in a minute.

Operator, I'd like to call

659-0716, collect.

Dave Mann.

The number here is 238-2098.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Honey? It's me.

- What's the matter? Did you have

an accident? - No, nothing like that.

- Well, what happened?

- Well, nothing happened. I just...

I just wanted to apologize.

- You don't have to apologize, Dave.

- I know. I wanted to.

When I left the house this morning,

you were asleep...

so I just wanted to call you up

and tell you that...

I'm sorry about last night.

I don't really

want to talk about it.

Well...

Don't you think

maybe we ought to?

No, because if we

talk about it...

we'll fight, and you wouldn't

want that, would you?

Of course not.
