Narrator/Announcer
Lux presents Hollywood. Weaver Brothers Companies, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theater. Starring William Powell and Ann Southern in I Love you Again. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley.
William Keeley
Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. When I came to Hollywood some years ago, my first assignment was dialogue director at Warner Brothers. And my first picture starred an actor whose charm and personality were equaled only by his talent, William Powell. So it's something of a reunion to have him here tonight co starred with an actress you've enjoyed so often on the screen, Ann Southern. They bring you Metro Golden Mare's riotous comedy I love you Again. The story of what happens when a man comes to after six years of amnesia or complete forgetfulness and finds himself in very baffling circumstances. In the year since Belle Powell and I first met, the motion picture industry has made great stuff. Strides in technical improvements, as you've been aware, a trait that's typically American, that constant search for something better. And your response to the new Lux, those tiny diamonds that are so helpful in caring for your fine fabrics, is another example of this country's eagerness for something better. Indeed, we're gratified that this new Lux has more than come up to your fondest expectations. Here's Act 1 of I Love youe Again, starring William Powell as Larry Wilson and Ann Southern as K. On an ocean liner approaching New York harbor is a passenger from Haversville, Pennsylvania, Mr. Lawrence Wilson. An hour ago, he cornered three unfortunate gentlemen in the ship's lounge and. And for 60 weary minutes he's been boring them to death as only Mr. Lawrence Wilson can.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes, gentlemen, this watch was given to me by the Chamber of Commerce. Pretty fine timepiece, isn't it?
William Keeley
Terrific.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Mr. L.J. hotspur himself made the presentation. I can remember every word he said to one of our first and foremost citizens, Lawrence Wilson, for his unfailing energy as chairman of the Habers Bill Morals and Clean Government Committee. Oh, fine, fine. Bet you're some pumpkins back there in Habersville well, you. You know how it is. Well, gentlemen, last night out. How about having a farewell drink with me? Dutch treat, of course. I figured that out. Or Stuart. Stuart, service, please. Wanted be fellows such as orange. You make mine the same. Well, all right. Steward, you know mine.
Doc Ryan
Yeah.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Ginger ale and grape juice. Come on now, Wilson, that's no drink. Sorry, fellows, but that's all I ever taste.
Doc Ryan
Hi, man.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hello, Ryan.
Doc Ryan
Hi, fellas. I also have All Starpuss. Hey, Story, give all star puss a drink.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Thanks, Ryan, but I told him does.
Doc Ryan
It's too good to drink with me, huh?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I'm sorry. Good night, gentlemen.
Doc Ryan
Ah, come back here, you.
Narrator/Announcer
No, no, no.
William Keeley
Take it easy, Ryan.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Mr. Wilson doesn't drink malice.
William Keeley
Well, see, you snooded me long enough
Doc Ryan
on this boat, see? Take off that stuff shirt. Come on, knock me down.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Ryan, you're inebriated.
Doc Ryan
Oh, so I'm inebriated, huh? Well, I'll walk a straight line with anyone on this boat. With anyone on any boat. I'll even go out there on the deck and I'll walk along the rail.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Here, here, Ryan. Now don't go out on deck.
Doc Ryan
Lego, I'll show you.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
You'll fall overboard.
Doc Ryan
Lego, get away from that rail.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Now, listen. Right on, old man.
Doc Ryan
That. How's that? Right up on the rail, huh?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Come down. Come down. You are too intoxicated to realize your peril.
Doc Ryan
Watch this one, Wilson. Tight rope. Market watch. I can balance myself like a.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Be careful. Let go.
Doc Ryan
Let go. I saw. I saw the whole thing. That man fell off the rail and Mr. Wilson jumped in to save him. The grape juice man.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
He's a hero. Well, are the passengers all right? I think he will be, Captain. But Mr. Wilson's still unconscious.
Narrator/Announcer
Unconscious?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
He had a rather nasty blow on the temple. How did that happen? I'm not certain, but I believe when your men lowered the boat, one of your sailors accidentally hit him on the head with an or. Oh.
Doc Ryan
Oh, that's the stuff. Wilson, old boy. Come on, open your eyes up now. Wake up now, pal.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Come on. Who are you?
Doc Ryan
It's me, pal. It's your old friend Ryan.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Ryan, you dirty rat. Come here. No, no.
Doc Ryan
Take it easy, pal.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Let go, you slug me.
Doc Ryan
No, no, no, pal. Honest, it wasn't me. It was a sailor with an O.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Same with the. Hey, wait a minute. But this is a boat. I'm on a boat. That was the idea. Why was I taking all that? Train.
Doc Ryan
What? What train?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
You know what train. You're double crossing.
Doc Ryan
Oh, wait, wait. Look, look. Don't you remember me? Ryan. Doc Ryan.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I never saw you before in my life. Holy smoke.
Doc Ryan
But you saved my life last night. Why?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Don't want to do that?
Doc Ryan
I don't know. Mr. Wilson.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Huh? What's that? You called me Mr. Wilson. Your name. Say, what's going on here? What's happened to me?
Doc Ryan
Well, you took a dive for me last night when I fell overboard. You were socked on the head.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
You're crazy. I can't swim. And besides, last night I was on my way to the fight in New York.
Doc Ryan
What fight?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Don't you read the papers? The Louis Kahn fight. Say, I must have missed it.
Doc Ryan
I'll say you missed it by six years.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Six years? What date's this? Here.
Doc Ryan
Here's the ship's news. October 10, 1947.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Let me see that. 1947. That must be a misprint.
Doc Ryan
No, pal, honest.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Wait a minute. It was 1941 last night.
Doc Ryan
Hey, I'd better get the ship's doctor.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I don't need a doctor. I need a drink.
Doc Ryan
Okay, I'll ring for you. Ginger ale and grape juice.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Ginger alen. Look, I want a drink, not a foot bath.
Doc Ryan
Well, that's what you've been drinking. Buckets of it.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Ginger ale and grape juice.
Doc Ryan
Now, look, Mr. Wilson.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Why do you keep calling me Wilson? My name's Davis. George Davis from Detroit.
Doc Ryan
George Davis. Detroit. Well, you ever know a guy in Detroit named Duke? Sheldon Duke? Sure.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I used to be in. In business with him. Why? Why?
Doc Ryan
Because. So was I in business with him once. Well, what do you know? We're in the same racket.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yeah, possible. What's your pitch?
Doc Ryan
Oh, I've been kind of working the boats. You know, cards, a few tricks with a dice and. I get it. Now. You've been working this boat yourself under the name of Wilson Said.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
What are you talking about? You know, I remember getting on that train in 1941. I was going to the fight. You mean you ain't got no line
Doc Ryan
on yourself since then?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I went in with a smoking car. It was a card game. I was going great till somebody got wise. There was a battle. I fell to the floor. The last thing I remember is a bottle. It was sailing through the air straight at my head.
Sheila Graham
You don't remember nothing?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
What's happened since then? Nothing. I don't even know where I've been. Say, there's a name for this thing. A lapse of memory. Lost identity. Amnesia. That's it, amnesia.
Doc Ryan
Is that what you got?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
No, that's what I've had. You know, a blow on the head can make you forget the past. You live on as somebody else, perhaps forever. Unless. Unless another shock or a blow brings you back to your right self. You read about these things, but you never figured them happening to yourself. Hey, what was this Wilson like?
Narrator/Announcer
Oh, an awful heel.
Doc Ryan
I like Davis better.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Thanks.
Doc Ryan
Yeah, all you did. I mean, all Wilson did was talk about Habersville.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hey, Brazil. Who's he?
Doc Ryan
No, no, not he. It. It's some berg in Pennsylvania.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, never heard of it. Hey, I wonder if Mr. Wilson has any money. I think I'll take a look at his luggage.
Doc Ryan
Funny, ain't it? Here we are talking about you and a guy named Wilson, and you're both guys.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Look at this suit. Jesus, I must have bought her this one. Undertaker. Now, what's all this stuff? Hair restorer, saltine crackers, dyspepsia tablets. You know, a bottle of Gargle. Hey, I certainly took good care of Wilson. Oh, here's.
Doc Ryan
Here's a lot of papers and stuff. Boy, were you a joiner. Rotary, Elks Owls, Community Chest, Primrose League.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, wait a minute. A bank book. Hey, give it to me. Habersville National Bank. Lawrence Wilson checking account C. $147,000 and 83 cents. 100. And let me look at that. And that's the C account. That means there must be an A and B as well.
Doc Ryan
It might even go right through the Alphabet.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Say, why wouldn't it be a good idea for Mr. Wilson to pay a visit to Habersville just long enough to get the money?
Doc Ryan
Do you think you can swing it? We'll be in New York tomorrow morning.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
It's worth trying, but there's a fortune in this thing. Doc, how'd you like to win on it with me? You mean it? Look, I'll cut you in for 25%.
Doc Ryan
I've done it for 10. After all, you saved my life.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Look, I'm gonna need some money. I think I'll send a radiogram to the Habersdale National Bank. I tell them to send me five grand to the Whitney Hotel tomorrow morning.
Doc Ryan
25% cent of five grand.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
What a cut. Hey, but there's one thing, Doc. You better stick close to me.
Narrator/Announcer
Yeah.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
If anybody starts asking questions, if I seem to be getting into a tight spot, I'll pull a faint. And don't forget to catch me.
Doc Ryan
Oh, you can trust me, pal. I'll be a regular Florence Nighting gown. Gameplay down, Passengers asore. Gameplay down. Come on, D, snap into it.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
We'll get right to the hotel and See if the Habersville bank has sent that.
Doc Ryan
Well, well, what's the matter?
Kay Wilson
Here I am.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hey, took a. Take a look at that skirt over there. What a dish. Don't know who she's waving to. Come on, come on.
Doc Ryan
Keep your mind on your work.
Kay Wilson
Larry. Oh, Larry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Larry. Why, she's.
Doc Ryan
Larry. Hey, that's you.
Kay Wilson
Oh, Larry, are you all right?
William Keeley
Huh?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Me? Sure, sure, I'm fine, fine. So how are you?
Kay Wilson
Oh, Larry, the papers all said you were injured.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, nothing serious, you know. You know how papers are. Well, certainly it's good to see you.
Kay Wilson
Yes, I know you're surprised.
Doc Ryan
Surprise is my word, Larry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, excuse me. This is Doc Ryan. Doc, this is. Yes, sir, Good old Doc Ryan.
Kay Wilson
How are you, Doctor?
Doc Ryan
Never better, miss, thanks to Larry.
Kay Wilson
You know, Larry, Habersville is pretty proud of that rescue.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Ah, Habersville. Ah, well, well, well, good old Habersville. Did you. Did you just leave there?
Kay Wilson
Well, when I heard you were heard, naturally I had come.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yeah, naturally, naturally. It certainly is good to see you.
Kay Wilson
Yes, so you said.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, it's just worth repeating.
Kay Wilson
Larry, you seem strange.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Who, me? Oh, well, that's. That's just because you haven't seen me for a while. Why, before you know it, we'll. We'll be right back where we were.
Kay Wilson
Larry, what in heaven's name is the matter with you?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Nothing. Why, I'm just. Just surprised to see you here.
Kay Wilson
What's so surprising about that? Haven's? Joe wouldn't think it very proper if a wife didn't meet her husband.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, I don't know about
Doc Ryan
why.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Did you? Did she?
Kay Wilson
No. What is it? What's the matter?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Nothing, nothing at all. I'm fine. I'm just wonderful.
Doc Ryan
Oh, no, no, no, you're not. You're sicker than you think.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
You need a lot of rest and quiet. Oh, nonsense. I never felt better in my life.
Kay Wilson
I'll take you over to your hotel.
Doc Ryan
Huh?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, sure.
Doc Ryan
No. Now, now listen, Larry, sock away.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Can a man speak to his own wife?
Doc Ryan
Foreign.
Kay Wilson

Spin Quest Announcer

Kay Wilson
Well, this isn't like you at all, Larry. The Whitney Hotel. A whole suite of rooms.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
The best is none too Good for you, Mrs. W. Larry, I don't quite
Kay Wilson
know how to begin.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Begin what?
Kay Wilson
Well, I've decided once and for all to go through with the divorce.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Divorce? Oh, but now wait, you can't do that.
Kay Wilson
I've made up my mind.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, but a divorce, that. That's awful. After all, we mustn't be too hasty about this thing.
Kay Wilson
Well, I wouldn't call five years exactly hasty.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
How about a divorce? Why, it can break up a marriage.
Kay Wilson
So I've heard.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
And what's more, very often. What. What really seemed a good reason for a divorce isn't a good reason for a divorce after all. Now if I'd beaten you or something
Kay Wilson
like that, I'd like to see you try it.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, or if I'd been running around with some woman.
Kay Wilson
Oh, good heaven. You with a woman?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, after all, you know, sometimes a vacation can change a man a lot. Sierra and all that.
Kay Wilson
No, I'm afraid it'll take more than Sierra to change you.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Larry, what's the matter with me? Say, look, let's. Let's forget the divorce and try it just once more. Starting from scratch, huh?
Kay Wilson
It's too late, Larry. I shouldn't.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, nonsense. It's never too late.
Kay Wilson
There's someone at the door.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, ignore it.
Doc Ryan
Go away.
Kay Wilson
You might as well, Auntie Larry. I'm leaving anyhow.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
No, but listen, I'll be at the
Kay Wilson
shore haven if you want to get in touch with me.
Doc Ryan
Oh, hello, Mrs. Wilson.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Lying Mrs. Wilson.
Kay Wilson
Oh, Mr. Billings.
Libby
How are you?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Couldn't be Keena.
Libby
Thanks.
Kay Wilson
Well, I was just leaving. I'm sure I'll be seeing you though.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I hope so. Oh, wait, don't go.
Kay Wilson
Hi, Larry.
Doc Ryan
Say, Larry, I. I met Mr. Billings in the lobby. He. He came all the way from the Habersville National Bank.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Bank? Oh, oh, bank. Well, well, well, how are you? How are you, Mr. Billings? Couldn't be keener.
Libby
Thanks.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
That's fine, fine. May like a two handed Mr. Wilson. And here's your money. 5,000.
William Keeley
Here you are, Tim.
Narrator/Announcer
What the hell.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I call that Service.
Doc Ryan
Yeah, me too.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Now, let me see. This 5,000 makes you 2,700. Overdrawn. Overdrawn? When you went away, you had $2,800 on deposit. And we paid 500 for you on that land at Marsh's subdivision. By the way, here's your deed for that. And I owed the bank $2,700. The bank was only too glad to accommodate you. Oh, but, but, but, but what about those other accounts? Well, in the C account we have $147,000.83. Would you repeat that, please, sort of slowly? $147,000.83. Uh huh. That is the Community Chest account.
William Keeley
Huh?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
The Community Chest account. And naturally, all CH checks have to be countersigned by Mr. Finns, Ms. Breathwaite, two directors of the fund and yourself. Oh. Now, in the B account, which is the Anti Vice League fund, we have the Anti Vice League. Well, let's not bother. How much we have there. Just as you say, Mr. Wilson.
Doc Ryan
Well, I've ever.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Run along and I trust I've made everything clear. Terribly clear. Let's give My greetings to Mr. Sims and Ms. Wet Breath Weight. I will indeed.
Narrator/Announcer
Goodbye.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Goodbye. The more I learn about Larry Wilson, the more I like termites.
Doc Ryan
Yeah. Raisin. Go for the Anti Vice League. Boy, you certainly were a stinker.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Wasn't I? Say, wait a minute. Larry Wilson may be a dope, but in Haversville he's trusted and respected.
Doc Ryan
Yeah, a guy that raises thousands of dollars for a chest certainly ought to be able to raise a little dough for himself.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
And that's. That's Pennsylvania. Hey, how about oil?
Doc Ryan
Lot of money in oil.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
We'll do it, Doc. We'll locate Duke Sheldon. He specializes in oil. We'll wire him to meet us there.
Doc Ryan
Oh, well, wait a minute. What about your wife?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
My wife? She's divorcing me. I meet a beautiful girl and in 20 minutes she's divorcing me. No, I can't let her do that. I need her more than ever. Now.
Doc Ryan
What for?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
What was the divorce going on? Larry Wilson couldn't sell peanuts in a town like that.
Kay Wilson
Whoa, whoa.
Doc Ryan
Where you going?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
To the Shore Haven to call on the little woman. Who is it? Open this door.
Doc Ryan
Hey, what. Take it easy.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Open this door. I'll smash it. Hey, what's the idea? Where is she?
Doc Ryan
Where are you hiding her?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Say, who are you?
Doc Ryan
You know very well who I am. Where is she? Larry?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Come on. Where's who? Where's Kay? She was here with you. Oh, was that Kay? Yes. I look at the regular, I look at the register. Lawrence Wilson and wife.
Doc Ryan
Why, you dirty sneak.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, after all, she's my wife, isn't she? Well, she may be your wife, but she's engaged to me.
Doc Ryan
Holy smoke.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Engaged to you? Now, now, listen. Why should Kay want to divorce me? Answer me that.
Doc Ryan
You know why.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, of course I do. But do you? Why? It's written all over you. Kay wasn't married to you.
Doc Ryan
She was married to the Rotary, the
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Taiwan as the Lions and the Greater Habersville Committee.
Doc Ryan
Boy, is that bigamy. Will you get rid of your stooge?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
We'll settle this thing between the two of us. That's nothing to settle. Things and people have changed. All bets are off. From now on, it's every man for himself.
Doc Ryan
You promised Kay a divorce.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Why, you dirty, double crossing. You've been asking for this.
Doc Ryan
And you asked for this. There.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I guess you forgot that I was
Doc Ryan
the amateur champ of Boomtown County.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
So long, Larry.
Doc Ryan
How are you, pal?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Come on.
Doc Ryan
Come on, now. Come on, wake up, pal. Come on, wake up.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, you might at least have told me his name. Hey, get me up. Where's the phone? What for? I'm gonna call my wife. You don't think I'm gonna take this lying down, do you?
Doc Ryan
Well, you were doing pretty well just a minute ago.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I'm gonna take her out to dinner and just let that guy try to interfere, that's all. Ah, champagne. Here, dear, have some more.
Kay Wilson
Thank you. I've had enough.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
And if you ask me, Wilson, so have you. Who asked you? Look, darling, did you have to bring your bodyguard along?
Kay Wilson
Herbert and I are engaged, Larry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Ah, yes, Herbert and Hugh were engaged. Now, look here, Wilson.
Doc Ryan
Kay and I want to know what
Larry Wilson / George Davis
you're going to do about the divorce. The divorce? Oh, Kay can have a divorce. She can in a month or six weeks. But I'm opposed to this unseemly haste. Somebody might get the idea my wife didn't like me.
Doc Ryan
You can't fool me, Wilson. It's not Kay you're thinking of.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
It's the Chamber of Commerce.
Kay Wilson
Of course, I might have known. Six weeks, you said. And by an odd coincidence that happens to be electric times of President of the Chamber of Commerce. Now, wait, Larry. You're just afraid divorce will hurt your chances. Well, I'm not going to ruin my life so you can win an election.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I should say not. Very well, then. Unless Kay comes back to Haversville with me and for six weeks palms herself off as my devoted and loving wife, I'll fight the Case I feel it my duty.
Kay Wilson
Oh, he feels it his duty, Herbert. We're young. We'll have to give in.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Herb, you're taking my wife. The least you can do is to give me the Chamber of Commerce.
Doc Ryan
Oh, all right.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
You win. Oh, thanks, Herb. I believe this is your hotel, Wilson. That's right, Herb. Well, good night, K, dear.
Kay Wilson
Good night, Larry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Gay, do you think. That is if Herbert doesn't mind if I kissed you goodbye? Now, listen.
Kay Wilson
Oh, it's all right, Herbert. It doesn't mean anything.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Certainly not. Now, just. Just lean this way a little, dear. That's the girl. All right, Wilson. Hey, Wilson, that's enough.
Doc Ryan
I said, that's enough. Hey, now, look here, Wilson. Say, what do you think they did? Hey, now, cut it out. Let her alone.
Kay Wilson
I haven't said.
Narrator/Announcer
Return with Act 2 of I Love you again. In a moment. I hear you were visiting a 20th Century Fox this week, Libby.
Libby
That's right, John.
Kay Wilson
They were celebrating the winning of the
Libby
Academy Award with Darl Xanak's great picture, Gentleman's Agreement. But they're not resting on their laurels. Their latest is a domestic comedy about a babysitter. It's simply hilarious.
Narrator/Announcer
That must be sitting Pretty.
Libby
That's the name, all right. And Clifton Webb is the sitter who completely reorganizes the home life of Robert Young and Maureen o'. Hara.
Narrator/Announcer
A case for gossiping neighbors, isn't it, though?
Libby
Especially when Maureen is found in a nightie talking with Clifton.
Narrator/Announcer
I remember that scene.
Libby
You know, that down was very carefully
William Keeley
chosen satin, wasn't it, huh?
Libby
Because the texture photographs so beautifully. Maureen told me that during the shooting, the hem got quite soiled from the soundstage, but the wardrobe department fixed it up before you could say retake tomorrow.
Narrator/Announcer
With gentle luck. Skin care, no doubt.
Libby
That's right. And after luxing, it looked just as fresh and sparkling as new. But that didn't surprise Maureen because she insists on lux care herself for all her personal things.
Narrator/Announcer
And now the new tiny diamonds of lux make it easier than ever for women to keep pretty lingerie lovely longer.
Libby
They're so sheer and so tiny. You just know they're the right care for delicate lingerie. They're so fast. Why, they practically melt into suds the instant they touch the water.
Narrator/Announcer
Richer, too. Make thick, abundant suds that last and last.
Libby
And they do more for you. Remove soil which other kinds of suds can't leave things cleaner, fresher and make
Narrator/Announcer
pretty under things last twice as long. Tests prove that, so why risk wrong washing methods? Anything safe in Water is safe in luck. Here's Mr. Keeley at the microphone.
Bretzky
What's up everybody? It's Bretzky. And America is turning 250. And I can't think of a better way to celebrate that than playing on an American owned social casino.

Act two of I Love you again. Starring William Powell as Larry Wilson and Ann Southern as K. Larry Wilson, amnesia victim and confidence man extraordinary, is piecing together the puzzle of a life he doesn't remember. And with a wife like K as one of the principal parts, he looks forward to finishing the picture with K. He is just getting off the train in Haversdale. Doc Ryan, two steps to the rear.

Hey, Larry, look. It's a welcoming committee.

Of course. You need know you're a hero.
Doc Ryan
How you fellas? Hi there. Great to be back. I feel fine.
Kay Wilson
Larry, darling, let me see you.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, hello.
Kay Wilson
Oh, Larry, Let me kiss you, darling.
Doc Ryan
Excellent.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I got the wife with me.
Doc Ryan
Scram, babe.
Kay Wilson
What, dear? Hello, mother. Hey, darling.
Doc Ryan
Mother.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh. Oh, Mother.
Doc Ryan
Well, how, how are you, Mother? Doesn't she look wonderful, Kay?
Kay Wilson
My mother usually looks all right.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
You're looking wonderful yourself, Larry. But you changed. What is this?
Kay Wilson
Mary, here's Mayor Carver.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hello, my boy. Welcome home.
Doc Ryan
Well, Mayor Carver, how's the old chief executive?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Habersville is mighty proud of you, my boy. Well, thanks, Mayor. And now, Larry, it is my proud privilege to present a gift from the municipal band. A solid silver bugle.
Doc Ryan
Thank you, Mayor.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Much of bride beller. And now we loans to the Habersville town song. Your own brilliant composition, huh? Larry, suppose you start us off with a fan fair on your new bugle, huh? Fan fair bugle me? Go ahead, son. Oh, yes. Well, well, now, when you see, you see, I, I.
Doc Ryan
He just couldn't stop all this happiness. Get a ambulance.
Libby
Larry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Larry, are you awake? Oh, come in, Mother. What time is it? Oh, after 10. You feel better? Oh, I feel fine, Larry. Now, about Kay. I know the whole story and it's ridiculous. The idea you in this room and kick K over there across the hall for a whole year. I don't know how you could do such a thing. Neither do I. Well, we are going to change all that. I've come to stay for a while. I'm taking the porch room, which should have been a nursery long ago.
Doc Ryan
Mother, now don't argue.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Who's arguing? Well, but you can't win Kay back with a stuffed squirrel. A stuffed what? Those animals you're always stuffing. You got to stop it, Larry. Mother, believe me, I'll never stuff another animal as long as I live.
William Keeley
Good.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.
Libby
Hey.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hey.
Kay Wilson
Yes?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
It's me, Larry.
Kay Wilson
What do you want?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, I. I'm hungry.
Kay Wilson
Well, look in the ice box.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, all right, dear, don't you bother. I'll get my own food. That is, if I don't faint again. Good night, dear.
Kay Wilson
Oh, all right. Wait a minute. Would you like some eggs?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
More than anything in the world. Almost.
Kay Wilson
Well, come on down to the kitchen.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Okay. You don't know what this means to me.
Kay Wilson
Never mind the sentiment. We're going down for eggs.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Here you are, darling. More toast?
Kay Wilson
No.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
More coffee?
Kay Wilson
No.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
More champagne?
Sheila Graham
Yes.
Libby
Good.
Kay Wilson
You know, the last time we had champagne in this house was three years ago on New Year's Eve. That bottle my mother gave us for Christmas.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I wish you would forget about the past, Kay. You know, the fact of the matter is I changed quite a bit lately.
Kay Wilson
Oh, Larry, you couldn't change any more than one of your speed stuffed owls could change. But K. You know, I feel awfully good. Awfully, awfully good.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Do you, darling? See, that's fine. Here, let me fill your glass.
Kay Wilson
Yeah. I'm so sorry. Sorry, but I'm not in love with you anymore. Because if I was still in love with you, I'd be awfully in love with you right now.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
K, I'd like to show you the most wonderful game of two handed post office.
Kay Wilson
I think I better drink the coffee.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yeah, but.
Kay Wilson
But listen, K. No, no. I'm in this house simply because of our agreement to convince the general public that I'm still your wife.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
All right, convince me I'm one of the public.
Kay Wilson
That strikes me as a pretty foul things say about the public. Now eat. Eat your egg.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, I'm not hungry.
Kay Wilson
Oh, you're not? You got me out of bed. Spoil my teeth. But you're not hungry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, not really.
Kay Wilson
You don't want to eat your nice gumbolin?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
No, dear.
Kay Wilson
Then how would you like to wear them over your ears?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hey.
Kay Wilson
Good night.
Doc Ryan
Oh, Mrs. Wilson. Hurt my face.
Kay Wilson
Insufferable.
Doc Ryan
Hiya, Larry.
William Keeley
How's it.
Doc Ryan
Hey, what do you got in your head?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Scrambled eggs. What'd you think?
Doc Ryan
I didn't know.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Say, look, what'd you find out in town?
Doc Ryan
Oh, it's pie. The town's loaded with dough. Just right for an oil boom.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Duke Sheldon's at the hotel and he's
Doc Ryan
going to plant the oil tomorrow.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Fine. Now, what about me?
Doc Ryan
You are the manager of a big pottery works here.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I make pots.
Doc Ryan
Yeah. You may not have any money, but you certainly got plenty of pots.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Pots. Just what I've always wanted. A whole lot of pots.
Doc Ryan
Welcome back, Mr. Wilson. Welcome back to your potassium in the same with us.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, thanks, boys.
Doc Ryan
Thanks very much.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
But right now, we've all got our little jobs to attend to.
Doc Ryan
That's right, boys, back on the job.
Kay Wilson
Mr. Wilson, your wife is here.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
My wife? Well, send her in. Outside, everybody. Do your job, please. Okay.
Kay Wilson
Hello, Larry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, what would you like to hit me with this morning? I can recommend the inkwell.
Kay Wilson
I'm not going to apologize. You were very aggravating.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, then I'll apologize. I should have ducked day.
Kay Wilson
Today's the 15th.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Huh? Oh, oh, yes, yes. 15th. Course.
Kay Wilson
Don't you know what that means?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yeah, why? Yeah, it means that Tomorrow is the 16th.
Kay Wilson
It's amazing the things you can think of to keep from writing a check.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Check? Oh, yes, yes, yes, the 15th.
Kay Wilson
I guess we've established. Establish that. All right.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Just. Just let my mind gay. You know, all the excitement of getting home. And let me see now, that would be how much?
Kay Wilson
You know perfectly well how much.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, what about $200?
Kay Wilson
What?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, just for the time being. Of course, if you. If you run short, just call on me.
Kay Wilson
Oh, well, don't wake me up. Let me dream. Well, goodbye.
Libby
I'm going shopping.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, no, no. We're going shopping. You need a man's advice.
Kay Wilson
No, thank you. The last time I went shopping with you, I ended up in a cut price mother Hubbard.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
And today you'll end up in a creation by Charmaine.
Kay Wilson
Where did you learn about Charmaine?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Huh? Oh, I. I read about it on
Kay Wilson
the boat on the road. Huh? You know how much a Charmaine creation might cost?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
200, 300. What's the difference?
Kay Wilson
Larry, do you mind if I just stay quietly?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes. Tea. I've been like tea after a hard day shopping.

Larry Wilson / George Davis
So do I. Now. Hey, look. See those tea leaves? Want your fortune told?
Kay Wilson
Please.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, I. I see someone in your life. It's a man. A tall, dashing, handsome man with a striped tie like mine.
Kay Wilson
Go on.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, he's tall and handsome and very dashing.
Kay Wilson
Yeah, that's what puzzles me. The D dashing Ms. Barrel. Why, neither understand it?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, it's nothing at all.
Kay Wilson
Give me your cousins. I tell fortunes too, you know.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, see anybody I know?
Kay Wilson
It's a woman.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Wonderful. What's she look like?
Kay Wilson
Suppose you tell me.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, she's about five foot five. Lovely complexion and hair. Just like yours.
Kay Wilson
Larry, what is she like?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Who?
Kay Wilson
The woman who taught you about Charmaine and dancing and Bing. Dassy. Where did you meet her? On the boat?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes, sort of.
Kay Wilson
Well, but you don't want to talk about it.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, there's really not much to talk about. I mean, nothing's really happened yet.
Kay Wilson
Oh, but it's real, Larry. I'm sure of it.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Honey, if you're sure of it, that's good enough for me.
Kay Wilson
Well, I. I know it's none of my business, but I. I've been worried that you might have changed like this. You know, to please me and maybe patch things up. Of course, that's out of the question. My plans are all made with Herbert.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hey, have you ever taken a good look at Herbert?
Kay Wilson
Now listen here.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, take a look at him now. He's just outside the window making faces at us.
Kay Wilson
Oh, my goodness. I had a date with her. But you'll never forgive me standing up in the rain.
Doc Ryan
Wait.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
You can have him cleaned and pressed. He'll look as good as new.
Kay Wilson
You be quiet.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Evening, Mother, dear.
Kay Wilson
Terry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Listen, Herbert's been here all evening. He just left.
Sheila Graham
I don't like it.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Then neither do I, Mother. But what can I do? Well, you can go and speak to Kay about it. Where is she? In her room. And if you have to Kick in the door. Why, Mother, you pioneer woman. I'll see you later.
Kay Wilson
Who is it?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
It's me, Larry. Open the door or I'll kick it down. Open the door, you hear me?
Kay Wilson
Well, it is open.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, so I thought it was locked.
Kay Wilson
I suppose it had been, I'd have kicked it down.
Libby
What for?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, so I could come in.
Kay Wilson
Larry, I've just spent two hours packing things up with Herbert. Don't you think you've got me into enough trouble for today?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
No.
Kay Wilson
Sometimes you remind me of a high school boy on a street corner whistling at girls.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, it's romantic to whistle at the opposite sex. Birds do it. Love birds.
Kay Wilson
Lovebirds don't whistle. They coo.
William Keeley
They whistle.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Sort of a low cooing whistle like this. Gets you, doesn't it?
Kay Wilson
Not particularly.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I once knew of a case where a female lovebird locked the male lovebird out of her nest.
Kay Wilson
No.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
He stood outside and cooed for hours. It was pitiful. He finally lost his temper and he kicked the door of the cage down. And what do you think the female lovebird did then?
Kay Wilson
Gave him a sharp peck at the base of the skull.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Not at all. She put her soft little wing around him and she sighed and laid him an egg.
Kay Wilson
Oh, Mary. Mary, please leave me alone.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
But, Kay, what have I done?
Kay Wilson
Well, I. I suppose you didn't take me out and buy me the most expensive clothes in town.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Is that bad?
Kay Wilson
And I suppose you didn't say nice things and pay me dozens of compliments and try your best to please me.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, well, when you put it that way, I guess I've been a heel.
Kay Wilson
And I wish you topic I want you to be yourself. Your owl stuffing, speech making, pompous old self.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
You're upset because I'm acting as though I found you very attractive. Yes, but you are very attractive.
Kay Wilson
There you go again. Now, look, I've got something to tell you. And I don't want you to say another word.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Not a word.
Kay Wilson
No, Just. Just keep quiet. You understand?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well.
Kay Wilson
Well, it's your pride, that's all. You're losing me. So suddenly I seem worth holding on to. But you don't love me and you never did. Public opinion's the only thing you love. Public opinion, public buildings, public positions. And that's why my door is going to stay locked as long as I'm in this house. Now, if you've got anything to say, please make a choice. Oh, you. You get out of here.
Narrator/Announcer
We pause now for station identification. This is cbs, the Columbia Broadcasting System,
William Keeley
Act three of I Love you again. Will continue in a moment. We're delighted to have as our guest this evening a Hollywood newspaper correspondent as glamorous as she is famous, Ms. Sheila Graham. Sheila brings us some exciting news of the film capital.
Sheila Graham
Well, Mr. Keeley, our first item concerns Mr. And Mrs. Van Johnson, who left today for Honolulu on their first real honeymoon.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
With all our heartiest good wishes.
Sheila Graham
And another big piece of news is the release of Frank Capra's picture, State of the Union.
William Keeley
The Pulitzer Prize hit starring Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn and Van Johnson.
Sheila Graham
It's a wonderful romantic story with a very funny political background and very smart
William Keeley
timing on the part of Metro Golden Mayor to release it now.
Sheila Graham
I think the picture has some of the best laughs of the year.
William Keeley
No wonder Frank Capra, the producer, director, Spencer Tracy and Katherine HEPBURN Together hold eight Academy Awards.
Sheila Graham
You know, Mr. Keeley, Ben Johnson makes a fine reporter. Of course, the newspaper angle is especially interesting for me.
William Keeley
No doubt you enjoyed Angela Lansbury's performance as the beautiful and powerful publisher.
Sheila Graham
I sure did. And when I visited Angela during the production of State of the Union, I found we had something in common.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
What was that?
Sheila Graham
Our stockings take a lot of punishment. Angela seems a calm sort of person on the set, but oh boy, she's just as active as I am. And that's terribly hard on stockings. So I told her that I use luck. And Mr. Kennedy will be interested to know that she does too.
Narrator/Announcer
I guess that solves your problem, right?
Sheila Graham
In fact, Metro Golden Mare cares for starting just the way we career girls do with luck.
Narrator/Announcer
Well, here's another piece of news that's worth headlining, Ms. Graham. The new tiny diamonds of Lux are here. Wonderful as Lux has always been, it's actually been improved. It's better than ever. These tiny sheer diamonds are so much faster and richer. They make stockings last twice as long. Tests prove so smart girls steer clear of strong soap or cake soap rubbing that extra wear you get from Lux care is just like getting an extra pair of stockings every time you buy a pair. Thank you for coming tonight, Ms. Sheila Graham. Back now to our producer, William Keeley.
William Keeley
Act 3 of I Love you again. Starring William Powell as Larry Wilson and Anne Southern as K. Well, Kay has made up her mind.
Kay Wilson
Hey, everybody.
Lady Luck

It obviously features over a thousand slot games and live blackjack, live craps, live bubble craps, head on over to spinquest.com get yourself a 30 coin pack for just 10. 10 bucks.

William Keeley
The door's been closed on Larry and he shut out of her life. In his office the next afternoon, Larry decides to go through with his oil swindle and call it quits.
Doc Ryan
It's a cinch, pal. Duke Sheldon's got an option on all the land surrounding yours at Marsh Creek.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
What about the oil?
Doc Ryan
Duke planted it all over the place. And Susan up through the creek to beat the band. But it might take weeks for anybody to sing it out there in that jungle.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yeah, we'll have to fix that somehow. Yeah, Marsh Creek. Gonna have to get the yokels down there, get a line on any of them.
Doc Ryan
Oh, did I take a look at this.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Leonard har, income of 210 grand. Edward Little John, 131,000.
Doc Ryan
If we can only get a couple of these boys to go swimming in the creek.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yeah, swimming in oil up to their necks. But how are we going to do it?
Kay Wilson
Oh, Mr. Wilson.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes, Ms. Sting?
Kay Wilson
Is it all right for Corporal Benson now?
Sheila Graham
It's Thursday, you know.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Huh? Oh, yes, yes, that's right. So it is.
Doc Ryan
Who is Corporal Benson?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Who is Corporal Beanson? Tell him this thing.
Kay Wilson
He has a Ranger Madagon, two Silver
Sheila Graham
stars and a community stripe.
Doc Ryan
You don't say.
Kay Wilson
You may come in, Corporal. Corporal Bear. And some reporting to Scout Leader Wilson.
Doc Ryan
Scout Leader?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Who's a Scout leader? Why, good afternoon, corporal.
Kay Wilson
It's three o', clock, Mr. Wilson. The troop's outside already.
Doc Ryan
Oh, where they going?
Kay Wilson
That's up to Mr. Wilson, sir.
Doc Ryan
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
He can't go this afternoon.
Kay Wilson
But it's Harper's test today, sir.
Doc Ryan
No, no, it's out of the question.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Wait. Did you say Hawksburg?
Kay Wilson
Yes, sir.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Leonard Hawksburg's little boy?
Kay Wilson
Sure, Junior. He's been waiting for you to get back to take the test for First Class Ranger. And so will Little John.
Doc Ryan
Little John, of course.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
And I've worked out a special test for the day I saw a sort of a test by water. You remember, Doc, we were just talking about the water test.
Doc Ryan
Why, sure, very interesting.
Kay Wilson
That's splendid, sir. But first, how about tooting the buck?
Doc Ryan
All right, I'll fade it. I'm ashamed of you, Corporal. Gambling at your age.
Kay Wilson
Oh, you don't understand, sir. Mr. Wilson taught us how to trail a deer. We call it shooting the bus.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, what do you know? But today, Corporal, we have A new test. Brand new.
Kay Wilson
Really, sir?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes, indeed. You tell the men that we're leaving in 10 minutes for Marsh Creek.
Kay Wilson
Mr. Wilson, sir.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes, Corporal?
Kay Wilson
We've just taken the test, sir, and I'd like to report that the whole troop is all over Oil.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oil? Well, where did you get oil on you?
Kay Wilson
In the creek, sir.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, Corporal, this is terrible. Tell the troop to report to their homes. I imagine their fathers will find a way to take it off.
Kay Wilson
Troop 7, report it home and get the oil washed.
William Keeley
Now, come in.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Come in with gentlemen. Sit right down. How are you, Larry? Oh, fine. This is Dr. Ryan, Mr. Harkspur.
Doc Ryan
Doctor, how are you?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
How do you do? And this is Mr. Little John and Mr. Beeland. How do you, Doctor? Larry, I'll come right to the point. We want to do something concrete for you, to show our appreciation of what you've done for Habers. Oh, come now, gentlemen. I've done nothing. Larry, you own a piece of land here near Marsh Creek? Yes, I believe I do. Well, the state is building a new highway, and we brought some pressure to see that it's built on your land. Now we can take it off your hands at a good profit. Well, that. That. That's awfully decent of you. I only paid 2,500 for it. What would you say to a check for $10,000?
Doc Ryan
What?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Why, that's 300% of my investment. Oh, it's too much. We feel you've got it coming to you, Larry. Why, you make me feel like a profiteer.
Doc Ryan
Excuse me, gentlemen. Someone at the door.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, Larry, what do you say? It's a deal, gentlemen. Splendid, splendid. I've got a check right here.
Doc Ryan
I must see Mr. Wilson at once, sir. It's a matter of the utmost importance. But he's busy. Can't be disturbed.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Stand aside, sir. Now, which one of you gentlemen is Mr. Wilson? I am Mr. Wilson, sir. Thank you, sir. My name is Sheldon. Colonel E.J. sheldon, sir. Oh, how do you do, Colonel? Mr. Wilson, you're owner of Marsh's subdivision, I believe. Why, yes. Splendid, splendid. Now, I'm prepared, sir, to make you a handsome offer for that land. $25,000. What do you mean? That I am not in the habit of joking, sir. Well, Colonel Sheldon must have heard about the new road. New road? I know of no road. I'm in the gravel business, Mr. Wilson, and your land contains valuable deposits of gravel. Gravel? On my land? Oh, it's ridiculous. Of course it is, Larry. We'll match his offer dollar for dollar. You will? Why, that. That's wonderful.
Kay Wilson
Larry, what are you doing? You're not selling those lots. You won't?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, no, not yet, Kay. But it looks like I will.
Kay Wilson
Do you know what's on the land?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, yes, dear. Gravel.
Kay Wilson
Gravel, my foot. It's oil.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oil? No, just a word. Wild rumor, I'm sure, sir.
Doc Ryan
These things start up, and before you
Kay Wilson
know it's a wild rumor. This is oil. Gobs of it. I just heard about it.
Narrator/Announcer
Oil?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Colonel Sheldon, you just tried to swindle one of our leading citizens. Permit me to inform you, sir, that I have options on all the surrounding land. I'll give you $100,000 for a half interest.
Doc Ryan
Mr. Wilson.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Now, look here, Sheldon. I couldn't think of it. 200,000. Now, wait a minute, Colonel Sheldon, suppose we buy you out. With what, sir? With hard cash. How much do you want for your options? Well, I own four parcels. I'll take 50,000 each. All right, it's a deal. We'll meet later tonight and sign all the papers. Very good, sir.
Doc Ryan
That was great work, pal. A clean profit of 200,000 smackers.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yeah. Say, what happened to K. K?
Doc Ryan
Oh, I saw her go out a minute ago with a letter in her hand. That reminds me. How did she know about the oil?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
That's what I want to find out.
Doc Ryan
Okay.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hey, wait a second.
Kay Wilson
Hello, Larry.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I deduced from the envelope that you're going to mail a letter.
Kay Wilson
Yes, to Herbert. I'm still so mad I can't explode those crooks pretending to be your friends. And Herbert's no better. He acted as though I were a common thief. So I ought to be glad of a chance to take a pocket legally.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, so that was how you knew
Kay Wilson
Herbert wanted me to get the land from you. Larry, you're the only honest one in the whole crowd.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Me?
Kay Wilson
Yes, you. You're really too good for this town.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
No, not really.
Kay Wilson
Well, here's the mailbox. And that's that.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Exit, Herbert.
Kay Wilson
Exit, Herbert. I want a walk. Let's go up to the top of the hill, shall we?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yeah. You like it?
Kay Wilson
Isn't it a lovely view from here? Oh, Larry, don't tell me you've forgotten this place.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Forgotten to. I. How could I forget it?
Kay Wilson
Remember what you want to show me here?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, vaguely.
Kay Wilson
You said, kay, darling, marriage is the soundest investment two people can make.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, hey, whatever made you marry me?
Kay Wilson
Because I felt that underneath that watch chain with all its large pension clothing, there was another person. An exciting person. The sort of man I dreamt about. Mary.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
He wasn't really there, though, was he?
Kay Wilson
Yes, but I didn't find him for such a long time. I'm sorry I didn't find him sooner.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Don't apologize for what you thought about me. You're right. You're still right.
Kay Wilson
No, I was terribly wrong. But I was afraid of falling in love with you again.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
If you were afraid then, you should be twice as afraid now.
Kay Wilson
I don't understand that.
Libby
Mary.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I hope you're never well. But I. I think we better go.
Kay Wilson
No, wait a minute. If there's anything that turns my stomach, it's a man who acts noble. Yes. You know darn well you love me. You're just being noble and giving me up because something's wrong. I don't know what it is, but I'm going to find out.
Narrator/Announcer
I can't.
Kay Wilson
Ever since you got off that boat, you've been trying your darnness to make me fall in love with you. And now you have. Now I'm going to do the cake.
Sheila Graham
And believe me brother, before I'm through,
Kay Wilson
you're going to know you've been chased. Kiss me.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, I know it right now.
Doc Ryan
Come on, pal, you got to get over to Duke's room. All those big shots are going to be there when we get it. Larry. What's the matter with you?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Doc, how'd you like to work in my pottery mill? Yeah, making pots. Chance to eat regular and sleep regular. Maybe have a little home of your own. A porch, a garden.
Doc Ryan
See? Sounds wonderful.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Glad you like it, Doc, because that's what we're going to do.
Doc Ryan
We can't stay here after the oil deal.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
The oil deal is off, Doc.
Doc Ryan
But, but, but what about Duke?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes, there's. There's Duke to consider. I don't think Duke cares much for home and the kiddies. He's a wee bit mercenary.
Doc Ryan
Yeah, and he likes money too.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
However, I may as well get it over with. It may be a tough fight, but I'm not afraid. Not much. Or not.
Doc Ryan
No, no, no. Don't do it, Larry. I seen you fight one fight and you were awful. Here he'll tear you to.

Fit.
Doc Ryan
Let me Go with you, just in case.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, this is my job.
Doc Ryan
I'll phone you when it's all over,
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Doc, if I'm able.
Doc Ryan
No. He'll be murdered here. Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson, where are you? What do you mean, the deal's off?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
What kind of a double cross have
Doc Ryan
you and Ryan cooked up?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
I'm through with rackets, Duke. That's all. Look, friend, if this is a rib. It's not a rib, Duke, and it's not a double cross. I'm staying here in Haversville with my wife. Save your breath, Kyle. You and that dame are up to something. You're wrong. She doesn't know a thing about it.
Kay Wilson
Hello, darling.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, okay. She don't know, huh? Kay, what are you doing here?
Kay Wilson
It's all right, Larry. I just had a talk with Dr. Ryan. He told me everything about you.
Doc Ryan
What? Larry, I had to let her in. I couldn't help it.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Shut up. Okay, I want you to go home. Nobody's going home, my friend. I'm gonna bring you.
Kay Wilson
You overgrown bull. Don't you dare lay a hand on him.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Shut your trap, madam. Now get this, Wilson. If you and this tootsie want to
Doc Ryan
play house when we get the kids cash, okay, but first we get the cash.
Kay Wilson
You can't give him orders, you crook.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
That's right, lady.
Doc Ryan
I'm a crook. And what do you think he is, a Bible serial?
Kay Wilson
I don't care if he was an axe murderer. That's all finished, lady.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Generally speaking, I never sock a dame.
Doc Ryan
But I'm trying to make an exception for you.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
All right, Duke.
Doc Ryan
You asked for it. Okay, pal.
Kay Wilson
How dare you. You killed him.
Doc Ryan
I hope so. Water.
William Keeley
Water.
Doc Ryan
Give him water.
Kay Wilson
Get the water pitcher. Oh, Larry. Larry, look at me.
Doc Ryan
Here's the water. I'm drowning.
Kay Wilson
Oh, Larry, my poor darling.
Narrator/Announcer
Oh.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, Kay. Katie. How do you get on the boat? Oh, this is all your fault, Ryan. Your drunken behavior was inexcusable.
William Keeley
Hey.
Doc Ryan
Hey. It's coming back. Just like on the boat.
Kay Wilson
Oh, lie still, darling. Don't talk. You'll be all right in a minute.
Doc Ryan
All right, Davis.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Get up and quit stalling.
Doc Ryan
Davis.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Were you addressing me, sir?
Doc Ryan
What do you think?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
But I. I'm afraid I don't know you.
Doc Ryan
Holy Ike. He's got him again. Them amnesias.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
This isn't a boat. Well, what's happened? Hey, you see Looney? Did I knock him Goofy?
Doc Ryan
Worse.
Kay Wilson
Oh, you've ruined everything.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Hey, Davis.
Doc Ryan
George.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Georgie. Don't you know me? Duke Sheldon. Duke Sheldon. I'm very flattered to Meet you, your highness. Look, look, look. Now, come on, come on.
Doc Ryan
Put yourself together.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
We got a big deal on a big deal. But if you'll call at my office, sir, I'll be very glad to show you our full line of pots. Pops, take the guy's nuts.
Doc Ryan
I'm getting out of here. Now, now, now, let's get out of my way. I'm getting out of here. Goodbye, your highness. You come back here. You can't get away with it.
Kay Wilson
Larry. Larry, darling.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes, dear?
Kay Wilson
You've forgotten everything, haven't you?
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Of course not.
Kay Wilson
I mean, when he hit you. You're Lawrence Wilson again. Do you suppose if you got hit on the head again, you might be George Davis?
Doc Ryan
No, no.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Wait, wait. Put down that vase.
Kay Wilson
I've got to do it, darling.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
No, no, no, no. Listen to me. Listen to me. Well, K. Dear K. Well,
Kay Wilson
Darling,

In
Narrator/Announcer
just a moment our stars will return for their curtain claws. Tell me, Libby, why the pencil and paper?
Libby
Well, I've just been figuring that the average housewife with a family of four washes at least 329 dishes a week. And that doesn't count the silver or the pots and pans.
Narrator/Announcer
I should think when she went to sleep, she'd see dishes instead of sheep.
Libby
Well, dishwashing is depriving to some women, but modern housewives have discovered how easy it can be with the right kind of suds.
Narrator/Announcer
And that's where the new Lux steps right in and takes over. The new diamonds of Lux are so sheer and so tiny, they're faster, you know, more than turn on the water and presto, you have mountains of suds.
Libby
Such thick, abundant suds. Just compare them with any other suds you've ever used. They're richer.
Narrator/Announcer
What makes these new diamonds especially wonderful for dishes is the way the suds last and last so they do more work. Tests prove that, too. Lux washes up to twice as many dishes as the same weight of any of 10 other leading soaps tested.
Libby
When you use these new diamonds, you needn't bother about drying the dishes. Lux studs rinse so completely, dishes drain sparkling dry without wiping.
Narrator/Announcer
Yet Lux is so kind to your hands. They stay as soft as and smooth as if you never washed a dish in your life. So get these new Lux diamonds tomorrow. Sure. Try this really modern way to wash dishes. We return you now to William Keeley.
William Keeley
Before they get away from us, let's turn the spotlight back on William Powell and Anne Southern, who meet you as they are in real life.
Narrator/Announcer
You know we are.
William Keeley
Tonight's performance you two certainly put yourselves. Well, way above the snow bunny class.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well thanks Bill, but. Huh, what's this snow bunny business? Easter's over.
William Keeley
Well, I'm sure that Ann, as one of Hollywood's more enthusiastic skiers knows just what I mean.
Kay Wilson
Of course, a snow bunny. And I'm certainly in that class. There's an avatar who goes up to the mountains with a hundred dollar ski outfit and leaves nothing but Fitzmarks on the ski slope.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Fitzmarks? Are they what I think they are?
Kay Wilson
Yes Bill, just what you think they are.
William Keeley
I take it Bill, that unlike Anne, you aren't much of a winter sportsman.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, when it comes to leaving sits marks, I can do all right with a deck chair down at Palm Springs.
Kay Wilson
How do you. You wouldn't enjoy seeing Dill if you've never tried it.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Oh, I tried it once.
William Keeley
And how did you end up.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
That's how. End up.
Kay Wilson
Well, perhaps honey, you're better off at Palm Springs after all.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, I think so. So let's just let the skis slide.
Kay Wilson
And meanwhile, let's hear what you're doing next week in the spirit of a spirit Keely.
William Keeley
Next Monday night we bring you the absorbing story of a fascinating woman as human as any character you've ever known. One who finds herself trapped between the love of two men. It's 20th Century Fox's deeply moving drama, Daisy Kenyon and our stars are two of the screen's great favorites, ID Lupino and Dana Andrews.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Well, Daisy Canyon is obviously going to
Narrator/Announcer
be a real treat for your listeners.
William Keeley
Good night and thanks for the most entertaining hour. Lelever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Lakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday evening when the Lux Radio Theater presents Dana Andrews and Ida Lapino in Daisy Kenyon. This is William Keeley saying good night to you from Hollywood.
Narrator/Announcer
Ladies. Here's how to make some pocket money and do a good turn too. Save all fats left over from frying or roasting. Your dealer will pay you a good price for them. Now maybe you're reusing fats and cooking. Well that's fine. But remember, even when fat is no longer any good for you, it is still good for industrial uses. We're facing the biggest shortage of fats and oils in history. That's why your government asks you to keep a tin handy. Save every drop of used fat and turn it in promptly. William Powell and Anne Sutton appeared by arrangement with Metro Golden Mayor, producers of Homecoming, starring Clark Gable and Lana Turner. Our music was directed by Lewis Silverstone. And this is your announcer John Milton Kennedy reminding you to join us again next Monday night to hear Daisy Kenyon with Ida Lupino and Dana Andrews.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Pepsidan won by three to one.
Narrator/Announcer
Yes.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
In a recent survey, families throughout America compared new pepsidan toothpaste with a brand they've been using at home by an overwhelming average of 3 to 1. They preferred new Pepsodent with Irum over any other brand they tried. They said new Pepsidan toothpaste tastes better,
Doc Ryan
makes breath cleaner, makes teeth brighter.
Larry Wilson / George Davis
Yes, with families who made comparison tests, Pepsodent won by 3 to 1.

Be sure to listen next Monday night to the Lux Radio Theater presentation of Daisy Kenyon with Dana Andrews and Ida Lupino. Stay tuned for My friend Irma which follows immediately over most of these stations. This is cbs, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

The plot unfolds as George, regaining his former self, maneuvers through his new/old life, struggles with the expectations of his wife Kay, and is tempted by one last scheme, all while rediscovering love.

— Larry/George (09:09)
“Well, I wouldn’t call five years exactly hasty.”
— Kay (15:47)
“The more I learn about Larry Wilson, the more I like termites.”
