The Barefoot Executive Page #4

Hi. Hey, what's the matter

with the Bernaduccis?

They have to

go to San Francisco.

That's what they said. So what's

the matter with San Francisco?

Hey, what's everybody

sniffling about?

Mr. Bernaducci's been transferred.

With all that fog and dampness,

they can't take Raffles.

- He gets colds too easily.

- Oh.

And after having him

all these years.

Don't take it so hard.

What'd they do, stick him in a zoo?

- No.

- Did they put him away or something?

No, not that!

Jen, you didn't take him?

Oh, no!

Well, I couldn't let them

put him in a zoo.

I'd have found that

real easy to do.

- Do you think he'll be happy here?

- I don't know why you're bothering.

He'll be nothing but trouble.

Steve!

Will you listen to me?

He only had three people

in this world up until tonight.

- Mr. And Mrs. Bernaducci and me.

- Aw.

Now he only has me

and I'm not going to let him down.

You're treating him

like a human being.

He's just a hard-to-get-along-with,

miserable, spoiled chimp!

Seems to me you're the one

acting hard to get along with.

Oh, I'm sorry. Look, can we

just stick him in the bedroom?

I'm not going

to do any such thing.

He has been through enough today

without locking him in some bedroom.

Now you just go in and watch TV

with him while I finish dinner.

- What are you doing to him?

- I didn't do anything to him.

Oh, he can't see

the TV from there.

"Mother Carey's Chickens. "

I guess you know,

you're witnessing one of the wildest

slam-bang football games

played anywhere.

...snapped to Humphrey.

He fakes a handoff...

Leave it alone.

What did you do to him now?

Nothing.

I didn't do anything to him.

Oh, Steve.

You changed the station.

You can't do that.

What do you mean,

I can't do that?

If he likes a program

and you change it,

he gets all upset.

He does it to me all the time.

Well, he's not gonna

do it to me. Jen.

Steve, just try and be

a little patient, okay?

Patient, my foot.

You expect me to sit here

and watch a lousy show

called Mother Carey's Chickens?

Well, it's over anyway, so

it doesn't make any difference.

It makes a lot of difference.

That chimp is spoiled rotten.

He's not spoiled. He's lonely.

Now, let him have his

own way tonight, okay?

Steve, would you please pour

the wine? Dinner's ready.

Stay tuned to this station

for Star Journey

which follows immediately.

Star Journey's coming on.

They expect that to rate number one.

Oh, good. I want to see that.

...episode of The Maxwell Family,

the program for all ages.

Maxwells. If you think we're gonna

watch that soap opera, you're crazy.

- What happened now?

- It's that creep.

He doesn't want
