That I shouldn't go

to work tonight.

Does this run

look too bad?

( laughter on TV )

You Don't think I can

do anything, do you?

What?

I think you can do

anything you want to

If you put

your mind to it.

That's what

your mother says, anyway.

How do I look?

( laughter on TV )

Ooh, ooh.

Bye-bye, dear.

Oh, Don't take my car.

Hmm?

Take my mother's.

Oh, why?

Well, I've got

to change the oil.

Oh, okay. Bye.

Ilene:

Uh, Bobby wants me

to use your car tonight.

Is it okay?

Charlotte:

Why certainly, dear.

The keys are in the ignition.

Ilene:

Okay, well, bye now.

Charlotte:

Good night, dear.

Robert:

Good night.

Charlotte:

Drive carefully.

Ilene:

Uh-huh. Bye.

( footsteps moving away )

As a matter of fact,

She and you are my first

undiscovered talents.

That's right.

Yes.

I am probably

the first one.

Yes...

( car door closes )

( laughter on TV )

I'm still waiting.

No, you're not.

You are right now

a very big personality

In the home

of every television owner.

Yeah!

( laughter and light applause on

TV )

My press agent...

( laughter on TV )

That Busby sure looks good

for 72...

( laughter on TV )

The band feels

good tonight.

Isn't it... Isn't it

great to do this

Without boo-boo jumping in?

That's right.

Uh, have we something there

you want to, uh...

We're having

something

A little bit new

I think tonight.

We ought to keep talking,

and we won't have to do it.

( laughter on TV )

I just like to get

in the mood with you.

I like to feel, like

the Corsican brothers.

( laughter on TV )

It's more

like a dolly sisters.

( laughter on TV )

hooray for Hollywood!

Now here's a message.

Oh, yes!

Well...

Isn't he silly?

Huh?

I'm bushed.

So am I.

What did you

need your car for?

I'll be happy

when that bazaar is over.

What?

So will we all, huh?

Oh, I, uh...

Got to check

some of the hoses.

Okay. Well,

good night, son.

Come on, Charlotte.

I'll be right in.

Good night, sir.

Commercial announcer:

...And at very little expense.

You look tired, dear.

Don't tinker with that

car all night now.

I won't.

You really like that

insurance job, Bobby?

They keep you so late.

Well, sure,

it's a good job.

I spoke to your

brother today.

Oh, yeah?

Everyone's fine.

The baby has a cold.

Oh, that's too bad.

Charlotte?

Well, good night, dear.

Not too late now. Promise?

I promise.

That's a good boy.

Charlotte?

Coming.

These worries need not be yours

With the kind of protection

offered you

By Grant of Richmond,

The old line company

that cares about you.

Pick up your phone.

The number's in the white pages.

Give us a call,

and let us do the worrying.

That's Grant of Richmond.
