Transcript

[Bill Goodwin]

The Pepsidon Show. Presenting a date with Judy.

[Judy]

Hello.

[Bill Goodwin]

Hello, Judy. What are you doing tonight?

[Judy]

Oh, I have a million things to do. Wash my hair and manicure my nails. I've got to go to the store and Gloria asked me over and I've got to clean up my room.

[Bill Goodwin]

Oh, gee, that's too bad. I was gonna ask you for a date.

[Judy]

A date? Oh, gee, that's wonderful. I'm not doing a thing.

[Bill Goodwin]

Uh huh. You've got a date with Judy. Chaperoned by Pepsidon. Pepsodent, you know, is the tooth powder with the power to produce a luster on teeth twice as bright as the average of all other leading brands. Pepsodent. And only Pepsodent contains composite metaphosphate, a remarkable, safe and efficient polishing agent. If you want to see your teeth gleam and sparkle as they never have before, I suggest you go to your corner store and say, Pepsodent tooth powder, please. And now, slick back your hair and straighten your tie. You have a date with Judy. Well, let's see. Tomorrow is Father Foster's birthday. And that's why we find Judy and her brother Randolph at a downtown department store shopping for the perfect gift.

[Randolph]

You don't think Father would like a baseball bat, do you?

[Judy]

Certainly not. Let's stop fooling Randolph and get Father something he needs.

[Randolph]

Here's a baseball glove. Do you think will Father go for that?

[Judy]

Randall, we only have $2 and we're going to use it to buy Father something he wants.

[Randolph]

Would you think he'd like a canoe?

[Judy]

Father wouldn't know what to do with a canoe.

[Randolph]

I don't know. He does all right with a paddle.

[Judy]

Let's get out of his sports department.

[Randolph]

Hey, where are you going now?

[Judy]

Oh, there's just something over here I.

[Randolph]

Want to look at in the lingerie department.

[Judy]

Will you please wait a second? Randall, isn't this gorgeous?

[Randolph]

I don't think Father would look well in lingerie.

[Judy]

Oh, Randolph, this slip is divine.

[Randolph]

Do you think a slip is something Father really needs?

[Judy]

Well, no, but I wish he would.

[Randolph]

I'm sure he'd get a lot more wear out of a black lace nightgown.

[Judy]

Look, my birthday isn't so fall, so if we bought Father a slip, he'd have it to give me.

[Randolph]

Well, in that case, let's get him a chemistry set, a baseball glove, a bicycle and a Boy Scout knife. It'll relieve Father of birthday worries as far as I'm concerned. For five years.

[Judy]

All right, let's shop further, Randolph.

[Randolph]

Okey dokey. Hey, Judy, what are you Going over to that counter for Father doesn't wear earrings.

[Mother]

Well, hello, children. Did you get your father a birthday present?

[Judy]

Yes, Mother, we did.

[Randolph]

We almost got lost in the wilds of the lingerie department, but we managed to hack our way out.

[Judy]

Why, Randolph, how can you say that? We just took sort of a quick swing through that department.

[Randolph]

Yeah, swing and sway with lingerie.

[Mother]

Where'd you get your father? Something useful, I hope.

[Judy]

Oh, yes, Mother, Something very useful.

[Mother]

What, Judy?

[Judy]

Well, I don't think we ought to tell you because he wanted to be a surprise for Father.

[Mother]

Oh, I won't tell.

[Randolph]

We got him a smoking jacket.

[Judy]

Oh, Randolph, what did you tell for? You know how intimate Mother is with Father.

[Mother]

A smoking jacket. But your father doesn't smoke.

[Randolph]

When he has this jacket, he will.

[Mother]

You mean you got a smoking jacket for $2?

[Judy]

Oh, no, Mother. We couldn't get Father anything cheap. This was $18.

[Mother]

$18? Where did you get $18?

[Judy]

Oh, we charged it.

[Mother]

You charged it? You bought a present for your father and you're making him pay for it? What happened to the $2 you saved?

[Judy]

Oh, the $2. Well, Randolph bought himself a baseball glove for 79 cents.

[Randolph]

Well, Judy bought herself an evening bank for 85 cents.

[Judy]

It was a necessity, Mother.

[Mother]

That still doesn't count up to $2.

[Judy]

Oh, well, when we finished, we were so exalted from shopping that we. I just had to buy Super Duper sundaes.

[Randolph]

Another necessity, Mother.

[Mother]

I see. Well, I'm going to call up the department store and cancel it right now.

[Randolph]

The baseball glove can't be canceled. We bought it outright.

[Mother]

Your father works hard. Then he has a birthday, and what do his children do? They buy themselves. Evening bags and baseball gloves.

[Randolph]

Only one baseball glove, Mother?

[Mother]

Poor Father. No one ever thinks of him. All he ever thinks of is us. But we. We just neglect him.

[Judy]

He is neglected, isn't he?

[Mother]

He certainly is.

[Judy]

Oh, Mother, I'm terribly sorry. I feel awful. Poor Father. We hardly pay any attention to him.

[Randolph]

Well, I could take the baseball glove back.

[Mother]

You know what I think would be nicer than anything?

[Judy]

What?

[Mother]

If you two spend the day with Father on his birthday.

[Judy]

Oh, Mother, what a perfectly lovely idea.

[Randolph]

Sounds mighty ghoulish to me.

[Judy]

Oh, it's perfectly beautiful. Father will have one perfect day. We'll start out early in the morning. We'll go down to his office and surprise him and just make Father happy.

[Mitzi]

Happy birthday, Father.

[Father Foster]

No.

[Randolph]

Well, happy birthday, Father.

[Father Foster]

Oh. Oh, thanks, kids. And now, would you mind scramming?

[Judy]

But, Father, Randolph and I are going to devote the whole day to you.

[Father Foster]

I'm sure that would be very pleasant, but I have an 11 o' clock appointment.

[Judy]

But Father, all the arrangements are made. You've simply got to leave.

[Father Foster]

Look, Judy, a man has come to town. A man from whom I expect to get a large order. A very large order. It's the most important business.

[Judy]

Father. We're going to spend the whole day making you happy.

[Father Foster]

I don't want to be happy. I just want to get my order.

[Judy]

Who is this man who's going to be here at 11:00, Father?

[Father Foster]

Huh? Well, he's stopping at the Carter Hotel just across the street. He'll be here in a minute.

[Judy]

What's his name?

[Father Foster]

Quigley. Aq Quigley. And now would you mind getting out of here?

[Randolph]

Oh, Father, this is what's called a paternal brush off. Goodbye, Father.

[Father Foster]

Goodbye.

[Judy]

Oh, Randolph, what are we going to do? And after all the wonderful plans we've made.

[Randolph]

I guess Father's been neglected so long he likes it.

[Judy]

Randolph, we simply must rescue Father from himself. Come on.

[Randolph]

Where are you going now?

[Judy]

To the Carter hotel. We'll see Mr. Quigley and explain the whole situation. After all, it is Father's birthday and we must have everything. Very the situation is, you see, it's Father's birthday and we've planned this perfect day of happiness for him.

[Aq Quigley]

I see.

[Judy]

We know business is your primary interest and all that, but you wouldn't want to interfere with filial affection, would you?

[Aq Quigley]

Decidedly not.

[Judy]

Oh, thank you, Mr. Quigley. I think you're wonderful.

[Aq Quigley]

Not at all. I'll call your father now and cancel our appointment.

[Judy]

You will? Oh, that's wonderful, Mr. Quigley. You don't know what this day of happiness is going to mean to Father.

[Father Foster]

Yes, Mr. Quigley. I see, Mr. Quigley. But couldn't you. Well, when could you. I see, Mr. Quigley. Goodbye, Mr. Quigley. Oh, I'm sick. Come in.

[Mitzi]

Hello, Father.

[Randolph]

Hello, Father.

[Father Foster]

Oh, you two again. What do you want now?

[Judy]

We thought we'd try once again to give you a happy birthday.

[Father Foster]

Happy birthday. This is the most horrible day of my life. Mr. Quigley just phoned me. He isn't keeping his appointment and he doesn't know when he'll give me another.

[Judy]

Was that so, Father? Then why don't you just come along with us?

[Father Foster]

Why not? What have I got to lose? Lead on.

[Judy]

Oh, Father, I think that's just scrumptious. Now remember, Father, this is absolutely your day. So we want you to do everything you most like to do. Now, what would you like to do the most.

[Father Foster]

Well, I'll tell you right now what I'd like to do. Go to that horrible amusement park you're so fond of. Well, here we are at the amusement park.

[Judy]

Oh, but Father, this was all prearranged. And after we're through here, we can go do something you'd like to do. But you see, Father, this had been planned beforehand. Gee, I wonder where the gang is.

[Father Foster]

The gang?

[Judy]

Yes, Father.

[Father Foster]

Your gang?

[Judy]

Yes, Father. Oh, there they are in front of the funhouse.

[Father Foster]

Just what I love most, your gang. I don't get enough of it at home. Every night I have to have it on my birthday too.

[Randolph]

I see everybody else, but I don't see Mr. Quigley.

[Father Foster]

Quigley? What's Quigley got to do with it?

[Judy]

Well, we invited him to come along.

[Father Foster]

You what?

[Judy]

Well, yes, Father. We thought it'd be nice if you had a pal about your own age.

[Father Foster]

A pal? That tight faced conservative? For the love of heaven, we just.

[Judy]

Did it for you, to make you happy.

[Father Foster]

Happy? I was never lower in my life. I can't believe it. You asked Quigley to come to this den of horrors.

[Judy]

Oh, Father, he'll enjoy it as much as you will.

[Father Foster]

That's what I'm afraid of. A Q. Quigley. Good Lord. A staid, blue nosed old bachelor. Your crowd will kill him.

[Judy]

Oh, is he a bachelor?

[Father Foster]

Yes, he is. Oh, Judy, why do you do things like this to me?

[Judy]

Oh, well, if he's a bachelor, I have to fix him up with a girl. I wonder if Mitzi's his type.

[Father Foster]

Fix Quigley up with a. Oh, no, no, no, Judy, not that.

[Judy]

You want him to have fun, don't you? Hello, gang. Hello, everybody.

[Randolph]

Hello, Judy.

[Mitzi]

Happy birthday for your father, Judy.

[Judy]

Thank you, missy. Oh, Oogie. Yes, Judy, Something's happened that calls for a tremendous sacrifice on your part. Oogie, would you mind giving up Mitzi? Giving up Mitzi? Yes, only temporarily. My father's pal who's meeting us here is a bachelor. And since it's Father's birthday. You wouldn't want my father's pal not to have a date today, would you?

[Father Foster]

Well, no.

[Judy]

Well, I thought Mitzi would be a good type for Mr. Quigley. So would you mind terribly if you once stay? Well, gee, I don't know. Maybe Mitzi isn't willing to sacrifice me. Mitzi, come on over here a second.

[Mitzi]

Yes, Judy?

[Judy]

Mitzi, Oogie's willing to release you for the day because I have another date for you. You have?

[Mitzi]

Mm.

[Judy]

He's an older man.

[Mitzi]

An Older man? Oh, how marvelous. I adore men in their 20s.

[Judy]

Well, he's not exactly in his 20s.

[Mitzi]

Well, suppose he's 19 even. That is all.

[Judy]

Well, he's not exactly 19 either.

[Mitzi]

Heck, that's getting right back to Oogie.

[Judy]

Oh, he's older than Oogie. And he's very rich. A millionaire. Maybe even a multi millionaire. And I give you my word of honor that he's an older man. Much older.

[Mitzi]

It's a deal, Judy.

[Judy]

Swell.

[Randolph]

Judy, come on out of your huddle. Mr. Quigley's here.

[Father Foster]

Mr. Quigley, let me explain this. This is all.

[Judy]

Oh, it's all fixed, Father. I mean, about Mr. Quigley's date.

[Father Foster]

Judy, for the love of heaven.

[Aq Quigley]

How are you, Miss Foster?

[Judy]

I'm fine, Mr. Quigley. Here's your date, Mr. Quigley. Miss Mitzvah.

[Aq Quigley]

How do you do?

[Mitzi]

Is this Mr. Quigley?

[Judy]

Well, yes, Mitzi.

[Mitzi]

I think I'll go back to Oogie.

[Father Foster]

Mr. Quigley, really, I didn't know this was going to happen.

[Mitzi]

I like older men, Judy, but after all, not that old.

[Judy]

How can you say that? How old are you, Mr. Quigley?

[Aq Quigley]

Why, I'm 45.

[Judy]

You see, that's not so old. He's even got most of his hair. Turn around, Mr. Quigley. Judy, you see in the back, it's pretty well covered.

[Mitzi]

It's what I call a fringe.

[Judy]

Don't be silly, Mitzi. Well, I bet if Mr. Quigley had on a page, he'd be stunning.

[Father Foster]

Can I get you something? A Q? I'm dreadfully sorry.

[Aq Quigley]

No, no, nothing at all.

[Randolph]

Can I get you something, Father? You look like you need it.

[Father Foster]

No, Randolph.

[Mitzi]

Well, okay, Judy, I'll do it for you. I'll be his girlfriend, but just for today, on account of it's your father's birthday.

[Father Foster]

Oh, don't do me any favors.

[Judy]

Gee, thank you, Mitzi.

[Mitzi]

Come on, Quiggly Wiggly. Which would you rather do first? Go into the funhouse or in the tunnel of love?

[Father Foster]

Oh, this is horrible. I'll never get an order from him as long as I live.

[Randolph]

Let's go, gang. Nice and loud. Now, all together. Happy birthday, Mr. Foster.

[Bill Goodwin]

Well, that's going to be some birthday, all right. Randolph, did I hear you say, let's go, gang? Nice and loud?

[Randolph]

That's right, Mr. Goodwin. Wasn't that a slick birthday greeting?

[Bill Goodwin]

Oh, it sure was. But, Randolph, do you have any idea how loud twice as loud it'd be?

[Randolph]

Heck, that'd probably bust the tubes in your radio set.

[Bill Goodwin]

Well, it might, as a matter of fact, you'd know it was loud all right, but you wouldn't know it was twice as loud because you couldn't exactly measure it. Of course, scientists could tell you by using delicate instruments. And that's just why the Pepsidan people went to several scientific laboratories to find out how much brighter Pepsidin tooth powder made teeth as compared to other tooth powders. Well, of course we knew it made teeth brighter, but we wanted to know how much brighter. Well, here's the answer we got from these independent laboratories. After they'd made all their tests and all their comparisons measured by scientific instruments, they found that Pepsodent tooth powder makes teeth twice as bright. Yes, sir, twice as bright as the average of all other leading brands. Now that makes a whale of a lot of difference in the way your teeth sparkle and shine. It makes a lot of difference in the way your smile flashes. And it'll certainly make a lot of difference in the way people look at you. So get the big plus in polishing power that Pepsodent tooth powder can give you. Make your teeth shine twice as brightly. All you have to do is go to your corner store and ask for high polish Pepsidant tooth powder. Well, Father's having anything but a happy birthday. He's just about dying at the sight of his straight lace customer, Mr. King Quigley, being led by the nose by Mitzi and the rest of Judy's gang. Right now they're in the fun house at the amusement park.

[Father Foster]

Thank you, thank you. Let me explain.

[Judy]

Oh, Father, I'm so glad you're enjoying your birthday.

[Father Foster]

So I'm enjoying a merry chase, that's what. Every time I open my mouth too quickly, a rolling barrel upsets him. Marie shoots down a slide.

[Judy]

But it's fun, isn't it, Father?

[Father Foster]

Yes, Judy, it's fun. The kind they have in insane asylum.

[Judy]

Oh, Father, watch out. Is that a trap door in front of you?

[Father Foster]

A trap door? It's nothing of the kind.

[Randolph]

Well, that takes care of Father.

[Father Foster]

Judy, what's this hole in the wall called?

[Judy]

Father, how unromantic of you. This is the tunnel of love.

[Father Foster]

Well, I can hardly see. I wonder where Quigley and that Magpie are. I don't know how Quigley's going to hold up under this. Normally he looks like he was ready to cave in. If he's 45. I'm 16, Father.

[Judy]

He and Mitzi are sitting in the seat in front of us.

[Father Foster]

In the seat. Quigley, is that you?

[Aq Quigley]

Yes, it is. I.

[Father Foster]

Oh, it is, isn't it? Well, I. I was just thinking how Nice. It was your being near me where I could get a chance to talk to you. Explain this.

[Mitzi]

Can I tell you something, Mr. Quigley?

[Aq Quigley]

You may tell me something, Mitzi.

[Mitzi]

Well, usually when we get in the tunnel of Love, we pitch woo.

[Father Foster]

Pitch woo?

[Mitzi]

Yeah, you know, hold hands.

[Judy]

In your day, Mr. Quigley, it was probably called bundling.

[Aq Quigley]

That was a little before my day.

[Judy]

You see, Mitzi, he's not so old.

[Aq Quigley]

Ms. Mitzi, shall I be required to pitch woo?

[Mitzi]

That's entirely up to you, Mr. Quigley.

[Judy]

Just do what you like, Father, and I won't watch if you don't want us to. Will we, Father?

[Father Foster]

No, not if you don't want us to.

[Judy]

Oh, it's so wonderful to celebrate your birthday with you, Father. I never knew how much fun it was to just give of yourself for somebody else's happiness.

[Randolph]

I love it.

[Judy]

Just giving and giving.

[Father Foster]

If you really want to give for.

[Judy]

The love of heaven, give me a.

[Father Foster]

Chance to talk to Quigley alone. Mitzi. Oh, Mitzi, would you mind changing seats with me? I'd like to sit up there with. With your date. I want to discuss a new type of canning process. I'm going to can seats.

[Mitzi]

That would be terrible.

[Father Foster]

It would?

[Randolph]

Why, of course.

[Mitzi]

Because what would everybody think if they saw us emerging from the tunnel of Love in the broad daylight? Me sitting with Judy and Mr. Foster sitting with Mr. Quigley.

[Father Foster]

Judy. Judy. What are we going to do now?

[Judy]

Eat our picnic lunch, Father. Then we're going swimming. Oh, isn't it lovely? And to think it's all for your birthday, Father.

[Father Foster]

All I can say is I wish I were never born.

[Judy]

Oh, Father, you say more things to make me laugh.

[Father Foster]

I'm going to be laughing the rest of my life in a maniacal sort of way. In a padded cell.

[Randolph]

Hey, come and look at Mr. What's.

[Father Foster]

Wrong with Mr. Quigley?

[Randolph]

Well, nothing's wrong with him. He just fell off the pier into the water. He's all right now. They pulled him out. Of course. He's kind of puffing like an old.

[Father Foster]

Dinosaur, but I. Oh, for 20 years I've been trying to build up a good, respectable business, and in one fell swoop, I'm ruined.

[Randolph]

Oh, don't worry, Father. If necessary, I can become a professional baseball player and support the family. I've got a glove now.

[Father Foster]

Well, when we get home tonight, you'd better plan wearing it someplace else besides on your hand.

[Judy]

Here we are, everybody.

[Mitzi]

Help yourself to lunch from the basket.

[Father Foster]

Oh, Mr. Quigley. I. Say, Mr. Quigley, are you all right?

[Mitzi]

Mr. Foster? Please don't disturb us. We are having lunchy wunchy, aren't we, Quiggly Wiggly?

[Aq Quigley]

Quite so, quite so.

[Father Foster]

Yes, but after Quiggly Wiggly, Mr. Quigley's.

[Judy]

Fall from the pier, he's perfectly all right.

[Mitzi]

He's a little wet, but after he eats his lunch, he's gonna get in the bathing suit anyhow. So what's the day of?

[Father Foster]

He might catch cold.

[Mitzi]

That's silly. Come on now, Quiggly Wiggly, open your mouth.

[Judy]

That's it.

[Mitzi]

Now, I'll just poke in a spoonful of ice cream.

[Father Foster]

I forgot.

[Randolph]

There we are.

[Mitzi]

Now, how's about a bite of pickles?

[Father Foster]

Oh, for the love of heaven.

[Bill Goodwin]

I'm all right, foster.

[Mitzi]

But please, Mr. Foster. Quig is my day Open wide open. Okay, everybody, get into your suits.

[Judy]

We're going swimming.

[Father Foster]

Swimming? Right after lunch? Are you crazy, Judy?

[Judy]

Oh, Father, we're right here on the lake. You might as well use it. Here's a suit for you, Father. I go in the bath house and put it on.

[Father Foster]

I refuse to go swimming.

[Judy]

But, Father, everyone's going in. There goes Mr. Quigley.

[Father Foster]

Mr. Quigley. He's got his clothes on.

[Mitzi]

Yes, he isn't gonna bother changing. He's all wet anyhow.

[Father Foster]

Oh, I'll never get an order from anybody again as long as I live.

[Judy]

Last one in is a stinky pie.

[Randolph]

Gee, Father's having a perfect day.

[Father Foster]

Oh, do I have a stomach ache.

[Judy]

Come on, Father. We're going to the dance pavilion.

[Father Foster]

The dance pavilion? You mean to dance?

[Judy]

Oh, you won't have to, Jitter bug. I'll dance with you any way you want.

[Father Foster]

I don't want to do it anyway. I just want to stay here and hold my stomach.

[Judy]

Oh, everybody's dancing. Just do it the way you used to in the gay 90s.

[Randolph]

You might even try trotting out a minuet.

[Father Foster]

Do they call that boiler factory din music, Mr. Quigley.

[Bill Goodwin]

Oh, a Q.

[Aq Quigley]

Are you referring to me?

[Father Foster]

Foster, look. Aq when they're not looking, we can sneak out the side door.

[Mitzi]

Come on, Quigley Wiggly, let's dance.

[Aq Quigley]

I shall try to oblige you, Ms. Mitzvah.

[Mitzi]

Can you jitterbug?

[Father Foster]

Jitterbug? Oh, Mitzi, please, please don't do that to him.

[Mitzi]

I took him on for today and I'm gonna do my duty. I'm gonna see he has a good time. That's it, Quig.

[Aq Quigley]

Am I manipulating properly, Ms. Mitzi?

[Mitzi]

Not bad, Quig. Only don't pump my arm. Just jerk it.

[Aq Quigley]

Oh, you mean like this?

[Mitzi]

Now you're getting in the groove.

[Judy]

Come on.

[Mitzi]

A worm, A.

[Judy]

Scullies have the most scrumptious Sundays, Father. That's why we brought you here. It's sort of the finish of a perfect day.

[Father Foster]

Finish is right.

[Mitzi]

Let's order.

[Judy]

Wiggly Wiggly.

[Mitzi]

What do you want? The Hawaiian Dream Special is simply lush. It's pistachio ice cream covered with ripe cherries, ground pecans and marshmallow sauce.

[Father Foster]

Look, can't you just order? Do you have to discuss it out loud?

[Judy]

Oh, jeepers.

[Mitzi]

They have the regular 30 cent junior.

[Judy]

G man sundaes today for only 27 cents. Ooley drooly.

[Bill Goodwin]

Ooley drooly.

[Father Foster]

That means state of suspended elation. Aq.

[Judy]

What are you going to have, Father?

[Father Foster]

I'll have a Bromo Seltzer.

[Bill Goodwin]

Four Super Dupers, one Junior G Man, three Hawaiian Dreams, A Bromo Seltzer coming up.

[Father Foster]

Oh, Judy, please. As a special favor to a sick old man, will you let me out of here?

[Judy]

But this is all for you, Father. How would it look if the person at the party's for just got up and left?

[Father Foster]

In five minutes I won't be able to leave. I'll have to be carried out.

[Mitzi]

You know, Quiggly Wiggly, I'm beginning to think you're kind of cute.

[Aq Quigley]

Thank you, Ms. Mitzi.

[Father Foster]

How does he hold up like that? My girls are purple.

[Judy]

Well, George is a cokey dopey, but he's got a puddle jumper so he doesn't entirely curdle you.

[Aq Quigley]

Foster, would you care to interpret that?

[Father Foster]

Oh, certainly. A Q. A cokidopie is a droopy ick and a puddle jumper is a meat grinder. Yes, but that is a broken down old jalopy.

[Randolph]

When you get through, Father, I'll interpret what you said.

[Bill Goodwin]

Here's your pleasure, wenches.

[Judy]

Father, you've got to take just one spoonful of my Super Duper. It's in celebration of your birthday after all.

[Father Foster]

Why not? After all I've gone through, what can a Super Duper do to me? Good Lord. Is this glorified muck edible? Oh, quick, let me out of here.

[Judy]

What's the matter with Father? Why'd he run out of here like that?

[Randolph]

I guess Father decided to give up his birthday.

[Mother]

Here, Melvin, put this hot water bottle on your tummy. Would you like the ice bag on your head?

[Father Foster]

Everything hurts. My legs from walking around my head spinning in a million different directions. I never had such an awful day in my life.

[Judy]

We were only trying to celebrate your birthday.

[Father Foster]

You celebrated it all right. Another hour of it and it would have been my last birthday ever.

[Mother]

Oh, now, calm down, Nelson.

[Father Foster]

Calm down. You didn't just have a birthday, Dora. Listen to me, all of you. My birthday is hereafter struck out of the calendar completely.

[Judy]

Oh, Father.

[Father Foster]

Well, I'm afraid I've seen the last of Quigley.

[Judy]

But, Father, all we did was for you.

[Father Foster]

Well, don't think I don't appreciate it, Judy. You devoted a whole day to me. Giving up your time, not doing the things you usually do, spending all that. Incidentally, who footed the bill?

[Randolph]

Mr. Quigley.

[Father Foster]

What?

[Judy]

He insisted.

[Father Foster]

If I ever get up from this deathbed, I'll. Oh, my stomach. And poor Quigley. Who's taking care of Quigley? Who's putting hot water bottles on his stomach?

[Randolph]

Oh, that wasn't your stomach, Father. That was the telephone.

[Mother]

I'll get it. Hello? Oh, yes, Melbourne. It's Mr. Quigley.

[Father Foster]

Quigley, what am I going to say to the man? Here, Julie, hold this ice bag. Randolph, you hold this hot water bottle. Hello.

[Aq Quigley]

Hello there, Foster.

[Father Foster]

Mr. Quigley, I want to explain about today. I feel just the way you do about it.

[Aq Quigley]

Well, I didn't know you had it in you. I thought it was wonderful, too. Just wonderful.

[Father Foster]

You what?

[Aq Quigley]

Oh, it was a fine day. Thanks very, very much. And Foster, about that order.

[Father Foster]

Yes?

[Aq Quigley]

I've decided to double it.

[Father Foster]

What?

[Aq Quigley]

See you in the morning.

[Father Foster]

Yeah.

[Aq Quigley]

Say, you don't sound so good. Can't take it, can you?

[Father Foster]

No, I.

[Aq Quigley]

Well, try to get back in shape. I feel great.

[Father Foster]

Well, I never.

[Mother]

What happened, Melvin?

[Father Foster]

He doubled the order. He enjoyed the day.

[Randolph]

Here's your hot water bottle, Father.

[Father Foster]

I don't need it. I feel great. You know, you never can tell about those blue noses. Uh, I wonder who that can be.

[Mother]

I'll get it.

[Judy]

Hello?

[Mother]

Yes, it's Mr. Quigley again.

[Father Foster]

Give me back my hot water bottle. I knew it. I knew it couldn't be true. Let me have that phone.

[Mother]

But he doesn't want to talk to you. He wants to talk to Judy.

[Father Foster]

To Judy?

[Judy]

I'll take it. Hello? Hello, Quigley. Wiggly.

[Aq Quigley]

Hello, Ms. Foster. I just called back to ask you a favor.

[Judy]

Yes, Mr. Quigley?

[Aq Quigley]

Could you give me Mitzi's telephone?

[Judy]

Hey, he wants Mitzi's telephone number.

[Father Foster]

He what?

[Randolph]

Happy birthday, Father.

[Bill Goodwin]

Well, well, Father seems to have had a happy birthday after all. And talking about birthdays, by the way, we're having a pretty happy birthday ourselves.

[Father Foster]

Well, many happy returns, young man. What birthday are you celebrating?

[Bill Goodwin]

Well, Father Foster, just exactly six months ago today on the first Tuesday night in February, the new Pepsodent 50 Tuff toothbrush was announced to the country over these same stations. And in the six months that followed, the PepsiDan 50 tough toothbrush has become one of the most popular, fastest selling toothbrushes in America. Now there's a good reason for that, ladies and gentlemen. The Pepsodent 50 tough toothbrush is giving men and women and children too a more comfortable, more thorough cleansing action than any brush they've ever known. That's because with its 50 tufts of Fibrex, this Pepsodent brush gives you twice as many tufts in a small compact head as any other brush you see in your store. Twice as many tufts for double power cleansing. And those Fibrex bristles are so slender, so gentle, so unlike the harsh, stiff bristles people used for years that they need no breaking in. They're easier on tender gums. No wonder people have gone for this brush in a great big way. No wonder we're celebrating. In just six months, the Pepsodent 50 tough toothbrush has set a record in the drug trade that has never been equaled.

[Father Foster]

Happy birthday.

[Bill Goodwin]

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. We'd like to have you join the celebration. If you haven't used a Pepsodent 50 tough toothbrush yet, get one tonight at your corner store. Well, good night, Judy.

[Judy]

Good night. I had a dreamy time.

[Bill Goodwin]

You ain't wolfing. Well then, how's about a date come Tuesday? Next, Judy, a date next Tuesday?

[Judy]

Oh, I'm mad for it.

[Bill Goodwin]

Yes, you have a date with Judy again next Tuesday. A Date with Judy with Anne Gillis, Paul McGrath, Margaret Brayton and Dix Davis is written by Eileen Leslie and Jerry Schwartz. Music is under the direction of Wilbur Hatch. See you next Tuesday. Don't be late. You have a date with Judy. Bill Goodwin speaking for pepsident.
