 0:28: And here's Edgar Bergin and Charlie McCarthy. 
 0:43: You. 
 0:44: do do do do do. 
 1:01: That was high C above vitamin D. 
 1:06: Well, Charlie, you certainly seem to be in an unusually happy mood. 
 1:09: Oh, I am, Bergen. 
 1:11: I am looking at the world through a rose-colored monocle. 
 1:14: Is that Zoe? 
 1:17: Well, Charlie, if I diagnose the symptoms rightly, you're, you're in love again. 
 1:23: Am I right? 
 1:24: Give the man 10 silver dollars. 
 1:27: I thought so. 
 1:28: Now tell me, what's her name? 
 1:30: Daisy, Daisy, mhm, that's a pretty name. 
 1:34: And Maisie, Maisie. 
 1:36: Well, now which one is it? 
 1:40: bace yourself for this one there again. 
 1:42: It's both, both. 
 1:44: I'm in love with twins. 
 1:45: Oh no. 
 1:48: Oh, so that's it. 
 1:49: Yeah, Cupid gave me both barrels, Isa. 
 1:53: Well, I can understand you being in love with them, but, are they willing to share you? 
 2:02: McCarthy is better than none. 
 2:06: By the way, but why Charlie, 2 girls. 
 2:09: Why 2? 
 2:10: Well, it's as I drive down the rocky road to romance, I like to carry a spare. 
 2:20: I always did like crowds. 
 2:22: I know it's the Manville. 
 2:24: Yes, yes, yeah, but. 
 2:28: But isn't making love to two sisters apt to get you into trouble? 
 2:32: Well, I'm very careful to tell them both the same lies, I see. 
 2:38: Well, that's very amusing. 
 2:39: Charlie, what do they look like? 
 2:42: Each other, of course. 
 2:43: Oh yes, I know. 
 2:44: You know, they, they look so much apart, I can't tell them alike. 
 2:47: I did. 
 2:48: Well, how do you tell them apart? 
 2:50: , there are la. 
 2:59: When one sits down and the other one stands up, yes, she seems to be a little taller. 
 3:05: Well, I should think so. 
 3:07: Well, they must be very attractive to make you fall in love with both of them. 
 3:11: Oh, they are. 
 3:12: They really are. 
 3:14: Brother, there are a couple of tomatoes that are really packed solid. 
 3:20: Yes, but dating two girls at once, that, that's expensive, isn't it? 
 3:25: Well, I suppose it is, but, they can afford it. 
 3:28: They each get 50 cents a week allowance. 
 3:32: I'm ashamed of you, Charlie, letting them pay. 
 3:36: Oh, it's perfectly proper. 
 3:38: We're engaged. 
 3:39: Oh, I see, engaged. 
 3:42: Now don't tell me that it's gone that far. 
 3:43: Yes, and someday the minister will make us 30, I see. 
 3:50: I'll take one for better and one for worse. 
 3:56: Of course, we'll honeymoon at Twin Falls. 
 3:58: There's, of course. 
 3:59: Well, let me say, Charlie, this whole thing is ridiculous. 
 4:02: You can't marry them both. 
 4:04: Oh yes, I can. 
 4:05: I told them all about you, Bergin, and they're gonna marry me anyway. 
 4:09: Oh, they are. 
 4:10: But I mean in this country, nobody has two wives. 
 4:14: No, no. 
 4:15: What about, John's other wife? 
 4:18: Oh, well. 
 4:19: No, you don't understand such a thing. 
 4:21: Well, it just isn't done in this day and age. 
 4:24: No, no. 
 4:25: Well, I ain't hampered by tradition. 
 4:27: No, I. 
 4:29: The law definitely says that a man can only have one wife. 
 4:33: Yeah, I know that. 
 4:34: I know, but I get around the law. 
 4:36: I see. 
 4:37: You see, I, I say that they're half sisters, you see. 
 4:40: That adds up to one. 
 4:43: No, Charlie, you'll have to choose one of them and give up the other. 
 4:49: Never. 
 4:53: I tell you no, begging. 
 4:54: All right, it's double or nothing. 
 4:59: All right then, young man, if that's the way it is, I forbid you to see them. 
 5:03: Do you understand? 
 5:05: Yes, that's fine. 
 5:06: OK, you win. 
 5:10: If I have to pick one, I'll pick Daisy. 
 5:13: And now you're being sensible, but I'm rather curious to know why you picked Daisy. 
 5:18: Well, because she's got the bluest eyes. 
 5:21: I see. 
 5:22: And besides, she's got the cutest girlfriend. 
 5:25: Oh, you're in. 
 5:39: Ray Orble and his orchestra play a special arrangement of the new tune, Under the Willow Tree. 
 7:18: When I say coffee, you think chase and Sanborn. 
 7:21: When you taste chase and Sanborn, that's shade grown flavor. 
 7:26: Shade grown is the word for that extra flavor chase and Sanborn always gives you. 
 7:30: It's the lavish abundance of goodness you taste in your cup. 
 7:33: And here's where it comes from. 
 7:35: In the tropics, the soil and the climate are ideal for growing coffee, but unless the fierce rays of the sun are cut off, the coffee grows too fast, ripens prematurely. 
 7:45: Coffee doesn't have time to gather in the abundant flavor-making qualities of the rich volcanic soil. 
 7:51: Unless shade is provided, so these finer coffee beans are grown in the shelter of taller trees. 
 7:57: They provide a leafy awning to filter the sunlight. 
 8:01: The coffee grows slowly, matures completely, stores up a wealth of shade grown flavor for your cup of chastens Sanborn. 
 8:09: Take full advantage of this grand opportunity. 
 8:11: Get this richer blend. 
 8:13: Ask your grocer for Chase and Sanborn, the coffee with shade grown flavor. 
 8:36: Oh boy oh boy oh boy. 
 8:39: Or take me to the ball game. 
 8:46: Rod. 
 8:49: Hello, Mortimer. 
 8:51: How do you find yourself these days? 
 8:54: Ru I say, how do you find yourself these days? 
 9:03: I just start looking and. 
 9:05: Pretty soon I turn up. 
 9:06: Is that right? 
 9:10: 00, I'm Mortimer. 
 9:13: Why, why? 
 9:14: Just look at those bumps and those bruises on your head, yeah, and on your face there too. 
 9:20: Well, atroid. 
 9:22: Why? 
 9:22: You look positively atrocious. 
 9:25: Well, thank you. 
 9:28: You're looking right 30 years old. 
 9:32: Why, you poor boy? 
 9:33: Why, you must be suffering. 
 9:36: Do you feel like an aspirin? 
 9:37: Oh, I feel like Mortimer. 
 9:39: You're doing. 
 9:41: What in the world have you been up to? 
 9:42: Oh, I've been having more fun than you could, shake a monkey out. 
 9:48: No, no, not shake a monkey up. 
 9:50: Oh, no, baboon, no. 
 9:55: Whoa, shake a stick out. 
 9:59: Shake a stick of what. 
 10:00: Just forget it. 
 10:01: OK. 
 10:01: Now, what were you doing? 
 10:03: Well, I was playing the ball game that Charlie showed me down at the carnival. 
 10:07: Oh, you've been down at the carnival. 
 10:11: I see. 
 10:12: Well, it must have been a pretty rough ball game. 
 10:13: What was it? 
 10:13: Football? 
 10:15: No, no, it was, head, head ball, I see, yeah. 
 10:21: I stick my head through a hole in a big canvas. 
 10:24: You stick your head through a hole in the canvas. 
 10:26: Oh, I see. 
 10:27: And then they throw baseballs at it. 
 10:31: Oh, you poor boy, I can see. 
 10:33: Aren't you able to dodge those baseballs? 
 10:36: Is that what I'm supposed to do? 
 10:43: Why, of course you are. 
 10:45: That's very dangerous. 
 10:47: Why, certainly, you know, constant percussion of the cerebral membranes mighty invite chronic dementia. 
 10:54: Yes, and disfigure your entire physiognomy. 
 11:00: No. 
 11:04: Yes, indeed, it, it might even prove fatal. 
 11:09: Is that That is, yeah, you're gonna be rigor Lord of the lightsit in. 
 11:18: Yeah, now you better take my advice and give your head a little rest. 
 11:21: Okey dokey keep off my head for a few days. 
 11:24: Yes. 
 11:26: You ought to be ashamed of yourself, and Charlie, I'm disgusted with him. 
 11:30: What did he do? 
 11:31: Why? 
 11:32: Don't you see he was renting you out to that carnival. 
 11:35: Oh you bet. 
 11:38: Why you're so gullible, Marty. 
 11:40: I'll bet if Charlie told you black was white, you'd believe it. 
 11:45: Well, which is it? 
 11:50: Mortimer, why do you always have to show your stupidity? 
 11:53: Gosh, is that darn thing shown again? 
 12:11: Charlie, did I tell you that Jack Benny might drop over tonight? 
 12:14: No, yes, and if he does, I want you to be very nice and make him feel at home. 
 12:19: Yeah. 
 12:20: Should I wear a tobacco leaf over my one ear? 
 12:23: No, no, no, no. 
 12:24: Now promise me that you'll treat him with the respect that he deserves. 
 12:28: Oh, sure, sure, naturally I shall say, O king of comedy, we bow to you in humble tribute. 
 12:36: Yes, and then we'll bow real low. 
 12:38: You mean like this? 
 12:40: Oh, no, more like this, way down like this, way down. 
 12:44: What's the matter with you two guys, Lumbago? 
 12:46: No. 
 12:47: Oh, shut up. 
 12:48: Oh, hello, Mr. 
 12:49: Bear. 
 12:59: That's enough, folks. 
 13:00: That's enough. 
 13:02: Well, Jack, I'm awfully glad you dropped in. 
 13:05: Well, I wanted to thank you, Edgar, for that nice basket of fruit you sent me last week for my opening broadcast. 
 13:10: Oh, you enjoyed it. 
 13:11: Oh, yeah, I love that apple. 
 13:15: Were so round, so firm, so full of worms. 
 13:22: But nevertheless, I appreciate the gesture, and if there's anything I can ever do for you, yeah, well, you just let him know when the basket is empty. 
 13:29: He gets 7 cents refund. 
 13:32: Jack, it was, it was nothing more or less than just a little tribute to a really great artist. 
 13:39: Thank you, thank you. 
 13:39: And Edgar, words of praise take on an added luster when coming from an artist of your magnitude. 
 13:48: Stand back, folks. 
 13:50: This stuff is gonna splash. 
 14:00: Well, I want you to know, Jack, that I have followed your career very closely. 
 14:05: Yes, and I've watched your rise too, Edgar. 
 14:07: They never did trust each other. 
 14:11: Charlie. 
 14:11: You know, Jack, I'm, I'm on my 10th year in radio. 
 14:14: Oh, you are? 
 14:16: I'm starting my 15th. 
 14:17: Yes, well, of course, I'm, I'm younger than you are, Jack. 
 14:24: I don't know. 
 14:24: There might be a few days' difference in our ages. 
 14:28: When were you 37? 
 14:29: , would, would you two like to be alone to talk over the old days? 
 14:42: What? 
 14:42: Oh, you know, the days of the covered noggin. 
 14:51: By the way, Jack, you, you were so late coming back on the air this fall. 
 14:55: You know, we've been on the month already. 
 14:57: Yeah, what was the idea, Mister Benny? 
 14:59: Well, it's like vaudeville, Charlie. 
 15:01: They like to save the star until later on. 
 15:04: 00. 
 15:07: I thought maybe it took a month for the sponsor to make up his mind whether he wanted to. 
 15:15: That is not true, Charlie, because when Jack is on the air, they sell many more cigarettes. 
 15:20: Oh, you mean when he comes on, the listeners all go out there smoke, stinker. 
 15:24: , well, by the way, Jack, I think it's very generous of you to let the talent on your show develop to such importance that they become stars in their own right. 
 15:37: Oh, it's nothing, Edgar, really, it's nothing. 
 15:40: Of course, you, you can do it without fear, for after all, there's, there's only one on the Benny show or rather there is no one on the Benny show. 
 15:49: That louses that up. 
 15:53: My answer to What are you gonna say, old man? 
 15:59: Well, I was going to tell Jack that there's no one on the Benny show greater than Jack Benny. 
 16:04: Well, I've always tried to keep it that way and. 
 16:14: And believe me, brother, it isn't easy. 
 16:18: Johnny, are you going to meet me at the Sugar Bowl? 
 16:20: 00, excuse me. 
 16:24: Who's this? 
 16:25: Oh, this is Anita Gordon, my little singing protege. 
 16:28: Anita, this is Jack Benny. 
 16:30: Oh, Mr. 
 16:31: Benny, I didn't know you were so good looking. 
 16:35: Well, I, I'm, I'm not really good looking. 
 16:38: I'm handsome, perhaps, but I wouldn't. 
 16:43: I bet you'd like to grab Anita for your show. 
 16:46: I'll be satisfied to grab her, Charlie. 
 16:51: So, Anita, why don't you sing a song for Mr. 
 16:53: Benny? 
 16:54: Show him all that I've taught you. 
 16:55: Oh, Charlie, don't be nervous, stand straight and don't fiddle with the ribbons now. 
 17:13: One Oh to Hold you in my embrace and thrill with. 
 17:32: time I look at your face. 
 17:52: Your hand cling to. 
 17:56: And one. 
 18:01: A Constant And feel the. 
 18:25: As you Heartbeats next to. 
 18:29: I want more to. 
 18:53: One more to. 
 19:21: Yeah lovely Anita, I'm proud of you. 
 19:24: Charlie, I wonder if you appreciate the wonderful opportunity Bergen has given you young people. 
 19:31: Well, Jack, that's nice of you to say that, but it's it's a little embarrassing in front of the boy. 
 19:36: Well, Edgar, would you leave us alone, I'd like to have a little talk with Charlie. 
 19:41: , oh yes, yes, indeed, Jack. 
 19:44: Yes, gladly, gladly, yes. 
 19:47: Now Charlie, now that we're alone, I'll tell you why I'm really here. 
 19:52: Charlie, you've been working for Bergen for a long time. 
 19:57: Have you ever had the Have you ever had the feeling you'd like to branch out? 
 20:10: Well,, especially in the spring, yeah. 
 20:14: When I get my feet wet. 
 20:17: What am I saying? 
 20:18: No, no, no, Charlie. 
 20:20: Look, I mean, a show of your own. 
 20:22: You know, I've done it for others. 
 20:24: I can do it for you. 
 20:26: Yes, yes, yes. 
 20:27: I remember, if you want to go places, you've got to hit your wagon to a star. 
 20:31: Oh, so that's why you've come to me. 
 20:34: Yes, now, when I back up, you hitch on. 
 20:40: But, but no kidding, Mr. 
 20:41: Benny. 
 20:42: Your, your proposition interests me. 
 20:45: Good, good. 
 20:45: But before we go into that, there's just one little favor you can do for me, Charlie. 
 20:49: Now, I want all my fans to know that I'm back on the air again. 
 20:54: Well, surely, what can I do, Mr. 
 20:57: Benny? 
 20:58: Well, when Bergin's not around, they sort of sneak this announcement in, you know. 
 21:03: Sunday is fun day, we want you to know, because Benny is back on the radio. 
 21:14: Well I am. 
 21:17: Benny is back. 
 21:18: Well, no, I, I don't know, Mr. 
 21:21: Benny. 
 21:21: That's not it, it's not quite ethical. 
 21:25: But look, look, it, it means a great deal to me. 
 21:28: Well, just how much does it mean to you? 
 21:32: In dollars and cents. 
 21:36: Half a dollar? 
 21:37: Oh, that doesn't make sense. 
 21:41: All right, how about $1? 
 21:43: OK, in advance. 
 21:45: Well, all right, turn your back while I get it. 
 21:53: Let's see, where's my wallet. 
 21:55: Oh, here it is. 
 22:07: There you are. 
 22:08: Thank you. 
 22:10: I've never seen a Confederate dollar. 
 22:14: Now, if you could get Ray Noble to play some nice background music while you read it. 
 22:18: Well, I can ask him. 
 22:19: Oh, Ray, Ray Charles, old boy. 
 22:22: Ray, of course you know Benny, the famous comic, don't you? 
 22:26: Oh, not the Bugs Bunny. 
 22:31: I had my ears, Bob. 
 22:35: No, this is Jack Benny. 
 22:37: You know, he has Phil Harris on his program. 
 22:40: Yeah, the guy that gets on your nerves, you know. 
 22:42: Let me tell you, he gets on mine too. 
 22:44: Phil is so dumb, he thinks an arpeggio is an Italian dish. 
 22:51: It sounds just like. 
 22:53: I mean, everybody knows it's a Spanish dish. 
 23:01: Well, tell me, is it really true that Phil Harris leads his orchestra with a swizzle stick? 
 23:07: Yes, kid. 
 23:08: Ray, I wish Phil Harris was more like you. 
 23:10: You're so intelligent. 
 23:11: I mean, you, you've composed so many songs. 
 23:13: Well, thank you, Jackie. 
 23:14: I've had absolutely nothing to work with but my two hands. 
 23:17: Well, didn't you compose the very thought of you? 
 23:20: Yes, and good night, sweetheart. 
 23:22: Good night, dear. 
 23:23: I mean, good night. 
 23:27: I go back and sit down on your podium, yes, yes.

 23:43: Yes, your bugs, Benny. 
 23:45: Yeah. 
 23:46: Well, do you mind if I, take a picture of your bugs? 
 23:57: I, I know I can have it published, and I can give you a big spread too. 
 24:01: Oh well, no, no, I can't exactly give you a big spread either because you've already got one. 
 24:07: Is this going to be a flashlight picture? 
 24:09: A flashlight? 
 24:10: Oh no, I never use artificial liar. 
 24:13: What do you do on cloudy days? 
 24:15: I wear rubbers.

 24:17: Benny, if you'll just hold that smile and cross your knees, you mean like this? 
 24:22: Oh yes, that's peachy.

 24:48: , no, no, but I, I have a good connection with that magazine a time and a half. 
 24:55: Well, what do you do with the other hand? 
 24:57: Well, I deliver telegrams and, oh, that reminds me, I, I have a telegram for, Charles McCarthy.
