[Dr. Tweedy]

The Fabulous Dr. Tweety written by Robert Riley Crutcher, with Harry Bonsell and starring Frank Morgas. Thaddeus Q. Tweedy, Doctor of Philosophy and Dean of Men at Potts College, is a devotee of the bassoon. It is a musical instrument which is extremely difficult to play. Dr. Tweedy's Old English sheepdog, Baldy, wishes it were impossible.

[Frank Morgas]

Baldy, stop beating your head against the wall. My bassoon playing isn't that bad. And stop sneering. You look almost human. Now, you sit here beside my chair and I'll play you some beautiful music. Now listen, Baldy. The Baldy. You're singing. Well, Baldi, you can sing. You're a singing dog. Let's try shortening bread. Who's Nelson? I can see it now. The Metropolitan Opera Company presents Caruso. Baldi, with all that hair, you'll be perfect for the Barber of Seville. Why, Miss Kitty Bell and Colonel Jackson, won't you come in?

[Miss Kitty Bell]

Thank you, Dr. Tweety. My brother Beauregard and I are so excited about your marvelous idea for forming a little old musical group. But we were talking about it while Beauregard was having his Miss Julep. He's had only one. He's turning over a new leaf.

[Frank Morgas]

I know. A mint leaf.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Dr. Tweedy's hand purchased a new set of mint julep glasses.

[Welby Skinkle]

They're two feet tall.

[Frank Morgas]

My, my, my. One of those. You don't have to hunt for a lamp post. You just lean against the glass.

[Dr. Tweedy]

A delightful drink, sir. While making it, you drop in a mint leaf every six inches.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, and when the two foot glass is full of that delectable fluid, you dust just a suggestion of powdered sugar over the tub. Oh, dear.

[Welby Skinkle]

And then when you drink it down, you.

[Frank Morgas]

You're really living.

[Welby Skinkle]

Yeah.

[Frank Morgas]

And everyone else thinks you're dead. Well, that's the nicest way I can think of to go. And if I go, I can take it with me.

[Miss Kitty Bell]

Dr. Sweetie, it's going to be so much fun having these little musical evenings. I just love classical music. My favorite composers are Rock Marov Proki Atasky Rimsky Costasar Shostakovich Dinsk and the Sorska and Hoagie Carmichael. What are you going to call your little old musical group?

[Frank Morgas]

The Tweedy Chamber Music Society. Now, let's bring in Miss Kitty Bell's harp from the porch. Mrs. Apopolis will be here any minute with her flute. My, it's dark out here. Yes, my porch light is burned out. Yes. Look out, Colonel, the harp. Your nose, you. Well, the harp's out of tune.

[Dr. Tweedy]

But my nose is a perfect seashore.

[Miss Kitty Bell]

Now, Dr. Tweet, if you'll sound your. A borough gobble. Tune up his silver cornet.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Great start, that mint julep.

[Frank Morgas]

I should have drunk the last four inches. Yes, well, Colonel, the wind from your cornet is tarnishing my bassoon. Would you mind blowing the other way? Now, let's tune up. 1, 2, 3.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Hold everything. With her hot flute. Let's jam up the joint.

[Frank Morgas]

Jam the joint.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Well, sir, I love to toodle my floodle.

[Frank Morgas]

Yes, well, notice how much my bassoon playing has improved in the last few weeks.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Little cutie dumpling, with a sweet bastion you've got. That's gorgeous.

[Frank Morgas]

Well, I haven't started playing yet. My finger got caught in the valve. Now, Mr. Papa, sound your a. I'm.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

All focused up and ready to let fly. Stand back, sweet, or you'll get a shower bath.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, dear. Mrs. The populace. I'm afraid you're flat.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Now, wait a minute. Scored. Not so fast. The populace has got. Perfect.

[Frank Morgas]

Yes, of course you have. And you have a delightful tremolo. Well, the little tootsie.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Keep talking. I love it.

[Frank Morgas]

Mr. Popus, did you notice that you have several full notes here?

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Notes for you too. Let's play.

[Frank Morgas]

Well.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Sa.

[Frank Morgas]

Well, the first rehearsal of the Tweedy Chamber Music Society has come to an end.

[Welby Skinkle]

Thank heaven.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, Welby, I didn't see you standing there. Where's Baldy?

[Welby Skinkle]

Out in the backyard. He dug a hole and buried his head in it.

[Frank Morgas]

How is he?

[Welby Skinkle]

Breathing, Doc, if I knew that, I'd have buried my head too.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, dear. Poor Baldy. I'll have to get him some ear muffs like you're wearing.

[Welby Skinkle]

Oh, Doc, I come in to tell you Mr. Potts is at the back door.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, well, thank you. Well, B. I'll go see what he wants.

[Welby Skinkle]

Good.

[Frank Morgas]

Good evening, Mr. Potts.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Sweetie, I came to see you because I have a big problem on My hands.

[Frank Morgas]

How is Mrs. Potts?

[Dr. Tweedy]

Who cares?

[Frank Morgas]

Well, I don't know. I just.

[Dr. Tweedy]

This is a new problem.

[Frank Morgas]

Yes, sweetie?

[Dr. Tweedy]

It's my duty as chairman of the board of Trustees to see to it that we have a good basketball team.

[Frank Morgas]

Yes.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Three weeks ago, we suffered a very humiliating defeat at the hands of Bullfinch.

[Frank Morgas]

But our boys put up a great fight. Once they even got the ball. I thought it was a moral victory. We held them down to 85 points to our nothing.

[Dr. Tweedy]

This morning, the army discharged one of the finest basketball players in the country. This afternoon he enrolled here. Tomorrow night, Bullfinch will get a big surprise.

[Frank Morgas]

They will?

[Welby Skinkle]

Yes. Dribble.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Oh, Dribble, come over here.

[Frank Morgas]

I.

[Welby Skinkle]

Oh, no.

[Frank Morgas]

That's the biggest surprise I've ever. What is? I mean. Who is it?

[Dr. Tweedy]

Tweety, this is Dribble Jones. He stands 7ft 2 inches in his stocking feet. And when he plays, he wears built up tennis shoes. Dribble, this is Dr. Tweedy.

[Frank Morgas]

Where? Here I am. Down here.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Oh, down there. Hi, Dr. Sidi, I've.

[Frank Morgas]

It's Tweety. Thaddeus Q, Ph.D. dean of Men.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Tweety, I want Dribble to stay here with you until the game tomorrow night.

[Frank Morgas]

Yeah.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Take good care of him. And see to it that nothing happens to Dribble. We can't win without him.

[Frank Morgas]

Don't you worry, Ms. Potts. I'll take care of everything. He can double up with Sydney in his. He'll have to double up. Nothing is going to happen to Dribble.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Well, if anything does happen to him, you'll have me to face.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, what a horrible thought.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Yes, well, keep it in mind, Tweety.

[Frank Morgas]

Good night. Good night, Dribble. Good night.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Don't worry about the game, Mr. Potts. It's in the bag. There'll be good news tomorrow night.

[Frank Morgas]

Yes. Well, good night. Where's your luggage, Dribble?

[Dr. Tweedy]

Well, I've got this basketball. I'm a dribbling fool.

[Frank Morgas]

Hey, that looks like fun. Let me try bouncing it.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Sure. Here's the ball, Dr. Petey.

[Frank Morgas]

Yeah, the name is Tweety. Is this the way you do it? Ow.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Hey, that's pretty tricky dribbling. I never saw anybody bouncing with his face before.

[Frank Morgas]

Well, I didn't mean to. Now, we'll pretend the front of the garage there is the basket. Now, just watch me sink this shot, Dribble. The garage moved. Where'd the ball go?

[Dr. Tweedy]

It's over there in the second story window box next door.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, I could ring the doorbell and tell Mrs. Populous there's a basketball in her flower box. Oh, no. I guess it's late. Boost me up, Ribble. Ouch.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Dr. G.D. you're standing on my ears.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll step down to your shoulders. Here's the basketball nestled in the dead petunias.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Sweetle, my Sweetle. A second story man.

[Frank Morgas]

No, I don't. We've not. Good evening, Mr. Poplars. I thought you were in bed.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Romantic. Gazing at each other through the dead fatigue.

[Frank Morgas]

Bit embarrassing. You see, I was looking for a basketball.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Believe it or not, I don't make excuses, Tweedle. Duty, Woodsy. I love it. Just like Romeo and Juliet. You're killing yourself on my balcony. What are you standing on?

[Frank Morgas]

A tall friend of short acquaintance.

[Welby Skinkle]

I'm coming, Mr. Population.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Oh, Sweetle. I heard some and called Colonel Jackson. I did not wish you out there. Oh, how sad. You're looking at an unhappy Greek.

[Welby Skinkle]

You're looking.

[Frank Morgas]

You're looking.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Oh, he's coming with dueling pistols to save me.

[Dr. Tweedy]

So long, Dr. Wheatie.

[Frank Morgas]

Don't dribble. Don't run away. Don't leave me hanging here. Oh, I'm hanging here.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Don't worry, Mr. Poplars. I'll kill all four of those men hanging from your window box.

[Frank Morgas]

Four, then.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Oh, no.

[Frank Morgas]

He's had another two. Footman. Juliet.

[Welby Skinkle]

Ball.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Good.

[Frank Morgas]

Fire.

[Welby Skinkle]

And now back to Frank Morgan as.

[Dr. Tweedy]

The fabulous Dr. Tweedy. Last night, things were pretty much up in the air, including Dr. Tweedy. Today, Dr. Tweedy's manservant, Welby Skinkle, is telling his very dear friend, the houseboy at the Phi Beta quota fraternity house, all about it.

[Welby Skinkle]

Boy, Timothy, I want to tell you about last night. As soon as I finished the ironing, I rushed right over here to the maternity house. Sit down, Welby, and tell me all the juicy details. Yeah, okay. But I can only stay him. There was more. Hey, what are you doing with them long needles? I'm knitting myself a sweater so I'll be warm and cozy when we go out to play in the snow. Yeah, well, you got the perfect shape for a sweater, too. Well, let me tell you about last night. I hear someone yelling. I rushes out and there was the dock hanging from Mrs. Apopolis window box on the second floor. Oh, heavens to Betsy. Go on. Well, Colonel Jackson is shooting off his Dolan pistols and the doc was scared stiff.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, mercy. I'd be scared too.

[Dr. Tweedy]

We've got work to do.

[Frank Morgas]

Mr. Potts wants you and me to.

[Welby Skinkle]

Guard the athletic trophies in the administration building. He's afraid the bullfinches will swipe them before the big game tonight. Oh, yeah, I remember. Like they done three weeks ago. Well, let's get going. I got my wheelbarrow parked in front of a fire plug. I don't want to get no ticket.

[Frank Morgas]

Well, be.

[Welby Skinkle]

We can stop for some refreshments on the way. Yeah, it's cold out. I can use a slug of antifreeze. You know something? I found an old Pierce arrow.

[Frank Morgas]

No y.

[Welby Skinkle]

Nobody has drained the antifreeze out of that radiator since 1926. Oh, boy. Vintage stuff. Hey, where's the pliers and Dixie cup? And here you are, Welby. And just in case those bull pinchers try to steal any trophies tonight. Night. Here's our baseball bat. Oh, boy. Give me that bat. Let me show you what I do to one of them guys. Here. Turn your head a little bit. Don't move. That's right. That's it. Well, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and hit me on the head. I just. Oh, nuts. Timothy, I just bopped you. Now it's my turn to pretend I'm defending the trophies.

[Frank Morgas]

Yeah, and the first one that yells.

[Welby Skinkle]

Ouch is a stick out your hand. Well, look at me bouncing. It must be them rubber heels I'm wearing. Now it's my turn, Timothy. Here, hold your head still. Now, do you hear that little bird singing? Well, the. I'm a nature lover. I'm crazy about birds. I'm getting a little headache. Must have been something I ate. But I don't hear no boy. Turn your head a little bit more and you will. Oh, Timothy. Now that's beautiful. Can you see the boy now? I see nothing but stars. Let's practice defending the trophy some more. Yeah, okay. I love them, boys.

[Frank Morgas]

Good old Baldy. Always sitting at the front door waiting for me to come home. What have you been doing? Oh, yeah. Well, it's late and Sydney isn't home yet. I'd better turn on the lights in the living room. Dr. Tweety, Mary and Sydney. I'm sorry, Sydney, your nose is bleeding. Oh, no. It's lipstick. What are you two doing sitting in the dark?

[Miss Kitty Bell]

Well, you see, Dr. Tweety, I got this wristwatch for Christmas. It has a radium dial. You can see in the dark. And Sydney and I wanted to see what time it was.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh. Well, what time is it? Gee. Where's Dr. Tweedy?

[Miss Kitty Bell]

We were talking.

[Frank Morgas]

Well, I didn't hear anything. I must have come in during a lull in the conversation.

[Miss Kitty Bell]

What we were talking about was a couple of weeks ago, the kids from Bolton Shoe saw our athletic trophies, and we're afraid they'll try it again tonight.

[Frank Morgas]

I remember how mad that made Mr. Potts the last time. Why don't you two go get them and bring them here for safekeeping? Gee, Dr. Tweedy, aren't Mary's lips beautiful?

[Welby Skinkle]

Yeah.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Would you mind turning off the lights.

[Frank Morgas]

On your way out, Dr. Tweedy?

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Oh, yes.

[Miss Kitty Bell]

Would you mind turning off the lights on your way out, Dr. Tweedy? We only have an hour before the basketball game starts.

[Frank Morgas]

Yes, I understand. You have so much to talk over. I'll get Dribble to bring the trophies over here. Dribble, is that you out there in the garage?

[Dr. Tweedy]

Yes, Dr. Petey.

[Frank Morgas]

Well, what do you.

[Dr. Tweedy]

The little gopher.

[Welby Skinkle]

You know, the.

[Dr. Tweedy]

The school mascot.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, that's little Filbert the gopher. How are you tonight? You like being out of your cage, don't you, Filbert?

[Miss Kitty Bell]

Oh, Bo.

[Frank Morgas]

Is he a cute little rascal? Come here, Velvet.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Ow.

[Welby Skinkle]

He bits you.

[Frank Morgas]

I know it. He always bites. Oh, look, now he's sorry. He's licking the wound. Ow. He bit me again.

[Welby Skinkle]

Let me hold him.

[Frank Morgas]

Yeah, but keep him away from your basketball. He might chew it. He might bite the. He bit it. Oh, dear. Where's Pilbar? Oh, there you are. Blew you right back in your car, cage. That'll teach you to keep your big buck teeth out of basketball. Game. Athletic trophies. Dribble, I want you to go over to the administration building, get the athletic trophies and bring them here. I want to be sure nobody steals them.

[Dr. Tweedy]

But what if somebody thinks I'm stealing them? I'm new around here.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, there won't be anyone guarding those athletic trophies. That's why I want to lock them up in my garage. Just be very careful and don't get into any trouble. We need you to win that basketball game.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Those trophies are as good as in the garage right now, Dr. Needy.

[Frank Morgas]

Good. And I'm not needy. I'm seedy.

[Welby Skinkle]

I mean, I'm seedy.

[Frank Morgas]

I'll meet you at the game.

[Miss Kitty Bell]

All right, gang. We'll show those little fingers who's going to win this basketball game.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Game. Let's start off with a pot.

[Miss Kitty Bell]

Sky rocket. He isn't here yet. But how about a cure for our new center, Dribble Jones?

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Hey, Mr. Potts.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Yes, Sidney?

[Frank Morgas]

Take a look at our mascot, Filbert the Gopher in his new uniform. Yellow jersey and purple trunks with a hole for the tail. And little tiny tennis shoes.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Take him away. Have you seen Dr. Tweedy?

[Frank Morgas]

Sure, Mr. Potts. There he is, coming in on the other side of the gym.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Dr. Tweedy? Dr. Tweedy.

[Frank Morgas]

Yes. Did you hear that, Ms. Potts? They cheered me when I came in.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Are you sure it wasn't the Bullfinch cheering section?

[Frank Morgas]

What a thrill, Mr. Potts. Tonight we win our first basketball game. At last. Potts triumphant. Oh, yes.

[Dr. Tweedy]

This is a great day for Potts and a personal triumph for me.

[Frank Morgas]

That's right.

[Dr. Tweedy]

I was shrewd enough to enroll Dribble Jones. And tonight those Bullfinch kids won't steal our athletic trophies again.

[Frank Morgas]

No. I've seen to that.

[Dr. Tweedy]

No, I've seen to that. Yes, I ordered Welby and Timothy to stand guard over them. And you know what they do to anyone who tried to take them. They've each got a baseball bat.

[Frank Morgas]

They have. They've each got a baseball bat. And I sent Dribble Jones over there. Oh, no, Tweety, you didn't. Yes, you'd be surprised. I did.

[Dr. Tweedy]

My brand new tall center. Yes, after they get through with him, with those baseball bats he'll be a foot shorter.

[Miss Kitty Bell]

Excuse me, doctor.

[Frank Morgas]

Tweety, will you hold Filbert? I have to help Mary lead the next chair. Oh dear, what'll I do with him? Here, here, Filbert, get into this big wooden box.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Tweety, this is too much.

[Welby Skinkle]

I can't stand it anymore.

[Frank Morgas]

Well, sit down, Mr. Potts. We want Dribble. We want Dribble.

[Welby Skinkle]

We want Dribble.

[Dr. Tweedy]

We want Dribble. We want Dribble.

[Frank Morgas]

Here comes Dribble now. And he's as tall as he was before.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Hi Dr. CD those trophies are safe in your garage. And I'm sorry I'm a little late cuz I stopped to watch a couple of guys standing beside the trophies beating each other over the heads with baseball bats and talking about birds.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh dear. Welby and Timothy play so rough they.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Didn'T even see me taking the trophy. Never mind, sweetie. Give Dribble a ball and let's start the game.

[Frank Morgas]

Certainly, Mr. Potts. Nothing can happen now to stop this game. Where are the basketballs?

[Dr. Tweedy]

They're all in that box right there.

[Frank Morgas]

In there?

[Mrs. Apopolis]

In that box?

[Frank Morgas]

Well, we'll take one out and in that big wooden box. Yes, but I put Philber the Gopher in there. He bites. Basketball. Oh no. Oh no. I've done it again.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

She would see.

[Frank Morgas]

Mrs. Apopus, you brought it.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Yes, your basketball. You left it in my flower box last night.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh, Mrs. APIs, I could kiss you.

[Mrs. Apopolis]

Well, let's have it. Sw. My sweetle buck.

[Frank Morgas]

Oh no thanks, Morgan. We'll be back in just a minute. But first, here is.

[Dr. Tweedy]

Frank Morgan. Appears by arrangement with Metro Goldwyn Mayer, producers of the Technicolor musical Till the Clouds Roll By. Here again is Frank Morgan with his thought for the week.

[Frank Morgas]

My topic for today is horses. Fast horses that is. But no horse can go as fast as the money of bet on them. Which brings me to my thought for the week. Bulls and bears aren't responsible for nearly as many stock losses as bum steers. Oh dear. Good night.
