B
Sounds swell, Kurt. Say, how's about adding a little music to those words, huh?

There in the darling light There in the still of the night I look behind a star and there you are Whenever there's a storm I don't even hear the thunder My heart with Love is so aflame I only hear each little raindrop repeating your name and when the long day is through I long for you, Only you and I pretend you're there and there you are.

Time now to swing open the door of our Nash Calvinator Green Room. The door through which steps our guest of the week to receive an award of merit for his outstanding contribution to the world of entertainment. Our guest tonight is a guy who's parlayed a mythical friend into a national institution, who's walked onto stages in theaters and nightclubs from Trenton to Tallahassee, draped himself carelessly around a microphone, told a deceptively simple story about a guy he knows, and spent the rest of the evening between laughs, remembering out loud other assorted incidents in the life and hard times of Sam Lapidus. You know who I mean now?
- [14:28]
E
That's right.
- [14:28]
B
Stepping from the Green Room with his cane on one arm and Sam Lapidus on the other. That great comedian Lou Holtz.
- [14:42]
C
Oh, Lou, we're honored to have you here. All three of you. Yourself, your cane and Lapidus.
- [14:47]
E
Well, thank you, Patty.
- [14:48]
B
Thank you.

There's a lodge. There's a lodge in Lower east side, New York City called Itsy Pitsy Lodge. They have a meeting every four weeks. After the meeting, they give away a prize. This night they were giving a prize away to the most stubborn man in the lodge. First guy to get up Is Lapidus. He's a gentleman. He says, slip me the 15 bugs because I am a mule. Nobody stubborn as I am. He says, do you all prove it? Do you all prove it? To share that I got a daughter, a sweet patootie. The less hoarding femininity. Going around with a fellow named Abe Shmuelitz. He makes a beautiful dollar. He's a salami hanger. Hangs a salami in the delicatessen windows either horizontal or perpendicular according to the architectural structure of the window. Came to me, said I'd like to marry a daughter. I told him, okay, okay. I told him with a finger in his face, okay. He said, we'll have a wonderful wedding. Orchestra, music. Eleven piece. I said, Nine pieces. He said, Eleven. I said nine. I said eleven. I said nine. I said 11. I said, the marriage is off. That's 14 years ago. They're still engaged. I'm holding out for two pieces. Next fellow get up, says I heard the remarks. Lapidus, a member of Ritzy Pizza in good standing. He is stubborn, but mildly gentleman. He said, I had a toothache. Shouldn't happen to a dog. I couldn't eat or drink or sleep or think for six days and nights. Finally, I couldn't stand it any longer. I went to a dentist. I said, dentist, extract me to tooth. He said, which tooth is hurting you? I wouldn't answer him. I told him, I brought the toothache. You got the education. Open up my mouth. Look around there, see what's going on. Yank me out of toot, he says, dodge the tooth. I says, no, Yank me out of not a toot. He says, dodge the toot. I said, no. Yanked me out every tooth except the right one. That's six years ago and the tooth still hurts me. Next fellow grub says, I heard the remarks of the last two members of Itsy Pitsy. They are stubborn, but amateurs. Cause I was born in Russia. Of course, you never know I'm Russian from the way I'm speaking English. He said, one win tonight in Russia. The worst winter we've ever known. 0 was below. 11:00 clock at night. I was thinking about my sweetheart Sarah. Says I to myself, says I on a night like this wouldn't go out on the street. I dog. So I'll go down to Sarah's house and surprise her. I walked down on the street. There wasn't enough numbers on a thermometer to tell you how cold was the freeze. By the time I walked five blocks, froze by me. The lips, ears or nose deep blue Almost a purple. By the time I got to her house, I was numb, frozen stiff, more dead than alive. I rang the bell. She says, who's there? I wouldn't answer her. I rang the bell again. She heard that, wouldn't answer her. I stood there for five hours, froze to the sidewalk, fell over and I dead, faint. They took me to a hospital. I laid there for seven months between life and death. That's 31 years ago. She don't know to this day who rang the bel.

Don't go away until I give you this symbol of the Green Room Award. You see, it's a bronze model of the door you stepped out of just a Lapidus or two ago. Now, the door opens when you turn that little knob. And there's a gold plaque reading. For outstanding contribution to the world of entertainment. The Nash Calvinator Green Room Award is presented to Sam Lapidus and his chief supporting player, Lou Holtz.
- [18:56]
C
Thank you.
- [18:58]
E
I want to thank you from the bottom of Sam Lapidus heart. Thank you very much.

It's the new Nash 600 and it's the pattern of cars to come for here's a car that delivers from 25 to 30 miles per gallon of gas at moderate highway speeds. A low priced car with all the headroom, leg room and elbow room for six large people to travel in comfort and style. Yet with all this, a car that's easier to handle, handle, more convenient to park, smoother to steer, more comfortable to drive too, because deeper coil springs on all four wheels cushion the shocks of even the roughest roads. In addition, your new Nash 600 will offer you the Nash Conditioned air system, providing a constant flow of fresh filtered air in summer and an atmosphere of thermostatically controlled filtered warm air in winter. And the body and frame of the new Nash 600 will be a single unit of welded steel, 500 pounds lighter and free from annoying squeaks and rattles. Your Nash dealer now has photographs and specifications of the new Nash 600 and the new Nash Ambassador 2. See him soon and see why you'll be ahead with n.
