The Barefoot Executive Page #2

Oh, Jen, uh, what'd you

think of the show?

Well, I thought it had

certain possibilities.

Did you? I'm glad to hear...

- I thought next time, you could...

- Post! Not tonight!

Oh, he never listens.

He'll never listen!

Steve, did you slip him a note?

Jen, all he needs

is one good program idea.

Steve!

Mertons, will you stop blowing

that infernal horn?

- Wanted you to know I was here.

- I know you're here.

The neighborhood knows. You'd

think you were picking up your date.

And will you stop with the dusting?

I'm in a hurry today!

Yes, boss.

Charlie, get off your bicycle,

and put that paper on the porch.

I'm just sick and tired of digging it

out of the bushes every day.

Careless,

incompetent kids,

grow up that way,

then come to the networks.

No wonder we're having these problems.

Say, boss, would you ask Wilma

to move her car?

No, Wilma can't move her car!

You've got a reverse gear

in this thing.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, my bike!

- My bike! My brand-new bike!

- Now look what you've done.

Yeah, careless,

incompetent kids, huh?

Not him. You!

Well, don't worry about the bike...

But the papers.

If I don't deliver them,

I won't win that trip to Catalina.

I've been working all year

on that trip to Catalina.

Well, he's been working

all year on the...

Oh, put the darn papers

in the car!

How I ever let myself get saddled with

my wife's relatives, I'll never know.

- Hi, Steve.

- Hi, Jen.

I, uh, got something here

for Wilbanks.

Steve, you're supposed to

deliver the mail, not read it.

- It doesn't hurt anything.

- Keep moving.

Mr. Wilbanks should be here

any second.

You know how upset he gets

when he sees you hanging around.

- He's not in yet?

- Mm-mm.

I can't say I blame him

after that show last night.

Steve, please just forget

about last night's show.

Okay. I've seen disasters in my time,

but that one really takes the cake.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Did you happen to get my note?

- Yes.

Every time I put my hand

in my pocket, I got your note.

Now you listen to me, Steven. I'm not

interested in your theories on ratings.

And I'm certainly not interested

in doing a show called

Abraham Lincoln's Doctor's Dog,

whatever that is.

What is it?

Uh, well, sir, it's very interesting.

You see, we had a guest speaker

from our school last night.

A Mr. E.Z. Potter.

You've probably heard of him.

- E.Z. Potter?

- Yes. He's from up north.

- Up north? Where up north?

- Tulare.

- Tulare?

- Yeah.

He's got a surefire approach

for making a top-rated TV show.

- He does?

- And it's very logical too.

It's been historically proven

that the American people

have always preferred stories
