Key Discussion Points & Plot Progression

1. Birdie’s Lodge Event & Patriotic Planning

• Birdie asks for the evening off to attend a lodge (“Daughters of Cleopatra”) fish fry honoring local soldiers, underlining the patriotic spirit of the times (03:06).
  • Birdie: “I’m now the exhausted ruler of the pyramid. I’ve been promoted.” [03:08]
• Gildersleeve and family discuss the influx of soldiers expected in Summerfield and the USO’s request for citizens to host them at Thanksgiving (04:49).
  • Leroy: "Can we have a soldier for our Thanksgiving dinner, Uncle Mort?" [05:01]
  • Gildersleeve (joking): "Leroy, you sound like a cannibal." [05:01]

2. Opening Homes for the Holiday

• Family decides to host one or more soldiers (“Why not? When I think of all those boys, many of them so far away from home, it takes me back to the lonesome Thanksgiving I spent in the Army hospital back in 1918.” – Gildersleeve, 05:12)
• Gildersleeve reminisces about his own Army days, exaggerating his heroism, comic tales of buying mules for the army, and getting kicked (“I got 9,000 of them before one got me.” [06:07]).

3. Escalating Plans and Comic Banter

• Marjorie proposes a grander celebration for multiple soldiers and invites her “lovely friends” (07:32).
• Leroy objects to including girls, quipping, “Don’t you think those soldiers are doing enough for their country as it is without wasting their day off with a bunch of silly girls?” [07:58]

4. Gildersleeve’s Radio Campaign & Its Fallout

• Gildersleeve rehearses a radio speech urging the town to open doors to servicemen. As a result, the town is abuzz, and almost every family in Summerfield is now seeking a soldier for dinner (08:17, 14:03).
  • Judge Hooker (later, ironically): "People at the USO headquarters tell me that there would have been plenty of them if this radio speaker hadn’t really correct all their plans by urging everybody in town to come down after a soldier.” [25:00]

5. Chasing Down a Soldier

• Thanksgiving Day arrives, and chaos ensues as Gildersleeve and Leroy find that all the soldiers have already been invited elsewhere due to his broadcast (18:46).
• They compete with Judge Hooker and others in a frantic, comic hunt to find a single, available soldier.
  • Gildersleeve (to a sergeant): “We have three turkeys and almost a dozen beautiful girls at our house just waiting to entertain some soldiers…” [20:13]
• The rivalry between Gildersleeve and Judge Hooker escalates as they both vie for the attention of a uniformed young man, attempting to entice him with promises of food, entertainment, and dancing (26:24–28:04).
  • Judge Hooker (to Gildersleeve): “You hypocritical hippopotamus!” [25:36]
  • Gildersleeve (to Hooker): “Now see here, Hooker, you point a pinky at me and I'll beat the daylights out of you and back in again.” [27:59]

6. The Final Reveal – A Thanksgiving Twist

• After an elaborate effort, Gildersleeve returns triumphant with “Private Jerry Arnold”—only to discover the young guest isn’t a soldier at all, but a Boy Scout in uniform (29:27–29:37).
  • Boy Scout (sheepishly): “Why, no sir. I’m a Boy Scout.” [29:37]
• The comedic twist is classic Gildersleeve, highlighting both the good intentions and the gentle chaos of community spirit.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Birdie’s Hierarchical Title:
  “I’m now the exhausted ruler of the pyramid.” (Birdie, 03:08)

• Gildersleeve’s Army Humor:
  "That mule kicked me so high they gave me a pilot’s license. You know, I spent three weeks in bed flat on my stomach. In those days I had a flat stomach. But remember, kiddies, never mention a word of this to anybody. It's still a painful subject. Even now I twitch when I pass a mule." (Gildersleeve, 05:32)

• Leroy on Girls:
  “Jeepers, don’t you think those soldiers are doing enough for their country as it is without wasting their day off with a bunch of silly girls?” (Leroy, 07:58)

• Birdie Asserting Kitchen Control:
  “No, sir. I ain’t gonna subdivide none of them birds before the zero hour. And when I serves them, they gonna be intact. A thing of beauty and a joy for about two minutes.” (Birdie, 13:31)

• Judge Hooker’s Flustered Praise:
  “That’s Peter. There’s a man. The way he told every citizen to do his duty by our new army was stirring and inspirational.” (Judge Hooker, 24:38)

• Comic Reveal:
  “Why, no sir. I’m a Boy Scout.” (Jerry Arnold, 29:37)

Episode Tone & Style

The tone is cheerful, fast-paced, and filled with dry wit and family banter. Gildersleeve’s blend of pomposity and earnestness sets a jovial mood, with recurring jabs between characters (especially with Judge Hooker). The dialogue relishes wordplay, puns, and comic misunderstandings, true to Golden Age radio sitcom classics.

---

For New Listeners

If you haven’t heard this episode, you’ll find a heartwarming (and hilarious) slice of wartime Americana where intentions are noble, plans go awry, and laughter (plus turkey) abounds. The story affectionately lampoons its characters’ foibles while celebrating the spirit of gratitude and generosity at Thanksgiving.

So tomorrow, ask your dealer for parkay. P A R K A Y. And now let's visit our friend, the great Guildersley.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, my goodness, Birdie, the ashtrays are all empty for once. What is this, some special occasion?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

For me it is. Mr. Gills, please. I'd like to have the evening off.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, is this your night to leave early?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

No, sir, but I'd sort of like to get an advance on next week's night off.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh. Any reason why not, Marjorie?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Oh, not at all. Go ahead, Verdie.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Thanks. I wouldn't ask. Only we've got spectacular things tonight down at our lodge. That's the mysterious and bewildering orders of the Daughters of Cleopatra.

[Leroy]

Yeah, Birdie's the head sphinx.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Not no more, Leroy. I'm now the exhausted ruler of the pyramid. I've been promoted.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes, I see. Does that make you the head man?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

No, sir. I Practically a stowaway on the royal barge of the Ancient Nile. And ahead of me comes the major domus of the outer chamber of the inner sanctum. Then the chief searcher into bulrushes for the daughters of Pharaoh. And above her comes the royal rejector of delinquent daughters.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, isn't there a queen Bertie?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Mr. Gillslee, in our organization, every gal's a queen.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, my. Pardon.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

What are you holding tonight, Bertie? An initiation?

[Leroy]

No, ma'.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Am.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

It's the red, white and blue fish fry. In order, you know, to honor a group of our visiting soldier boys.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, yeah.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

The Daughters of cleopatris are all 100% American.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, that's a fine thing, Birdie, entertaining your soldier friends.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Yes, we've even hired a military jitterbug band. The Brown Skinned Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, go right ahead. And if you want to take anything from the pantry for the fish fry, help yourself. Birdie? Yeah? You may want to broil a couple of cans of sardines.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Gilson.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, that's all right.

[Leroy]

Say un. You know something, Leroy?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

I wish you wouldn't keep using that expression. Of course I know something, but what is it?

[Leroy]

Well. Well, I was reading in the paper where there's going to be about a thousand soldiers in Summerfield over Thanksgiving. Yes, let me see. Yeah, here it is.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, the city will play host to 32nd Regiment Thursday. USO urges all citizens to invite army men to dinner.

[Leroy]

That's what I mean. Can we have a soldier for our Thanksgiving dinner, Uncle Morris?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Leroy, you sound like a cannibal.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Leroy, you mean, can we invite a soldier to come to dinner?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes, and I think it's a splendid idea.

[Leroy]

Oh, then we're going to have one.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Why, of course. When I think of all those boys, many of them so far away from home, it takes me back to the lonesome Thanksgiving I spent in army hospital back in 1918.

[Leroy]

Gee, Unc, I never knew you were wounded.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, it's something I never talk about.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

What happened to you, Uncle Mort?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

I was kicked by a mule.

[Leroy]

Where were you kicked, Uncle?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

In the customary place. That mule kicked me so high they gave me a pilot's license. You know, I spent three weeks in bed flat on my stomach. In those days I had a flat stomach. But remember, kiddies, never mention a word of this to anybody. It's still a painful subject. Even now I twitch when I pass a mule.

[Leroy]

Gee, Uncle Mort, where did this happen?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

In France?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

No, Leroy, in Missouri. I was buying mules for The Army. Sort of talent scout for jackasses. Yeah, well, anyway, I. I got 9,000 of them before one of them got me.

[Leroy]

Hey, I never knew you knew anything about mules.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, yes, Leroy. I had quite an asinine education. Yeah, but that was a long time ago. Let's forget it. Children.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Yes? Does that paper say how we go about inviting a soldier for dinner?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Inviting? Let me see. Oh, yes. Here it is. Patriotic. Families who wish to share their Thanksgiving dinner with members of the army are requested to be at Bacon Square, opposite the city hall before noon Thursday to pick up their dinner guests. The army men will be bivouacked at the square.

[Leroy]

What's bivouacked, Uncle?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

A big wack. Bivouac is a place where barking dogs are cooled off in pup tents. Yes, I gotta remember that also that word.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Well, but it's very simple. Just one more for dinner says yes. You can drive down in the morning and pick up one of the boys, Uncle.

[Leroy]

Gee, that's gonna be keen.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

We better ask Birdie if it's all right with her first, though. Oh, Birdie.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Yes, it's all right indeed.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

That woman's wasting her time as a cook. She'd get a job as an airplane detector.

[Leroy]

Say, I have a better idea.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Let's have a real celebration. We'll get a couple of extra turkeys and invite eight or 10 boys.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Eight or 10? Won't that be too much trouble, Marjorie?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Oh, no. I'll ask some of my girlfriends to come over.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Girlfriends? Oh, by all means. That'll be jolly for the soldiers too.

[Leroy]

Oh, gee, Unc, the whole idea sounded great till you brought in the girls. So we have to have girls?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Why not?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

What's wrong with them?

[Leroy]

Jeepers, don't you think those soldiers are doing enough for their country as it is without wasting their day off with a bunch of stuff? Silly girls.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

And in conclusion, fellow citizens of Summerfield, let me urge you once more on the eve of Thanksgiving to open your hearts and your homes tomorrow to the soldiers visiting our fair city. Yep. Quit popping your bubble gum, Leroy. Especially while I'm rehearsing my radio speech.

[Leroy]

I'm sorry, Unc. I'm doing it unconscious.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes, I'm sure you are, young man. If you keep playing with your gum that way, someday you're gonna have a blowout. And remember, you haven't got a spare face.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Finish your talk, please, Uncle Mo.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, I don't need to rehearse it anymore, Marjorie. I know that speech backwards.

[Leroy]

You do? Let's hear it. I bet it sounds Even better backwards.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, Leroy, you keep that up and you're gonna get some applause. Backwards.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

You know, I think it's wonderful of you, Uncle Mort, to go on the air tonight and urge everyone to entertain the soldier.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, people have always told me I should be on the radio. They say I sound just like that fellow who used to be with Pippa McGee and Molly.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Oh, that's probably some of the girls now.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, wonderful. Oh, yeah. Cute, aren't they?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Uncle Mort, I want you to meet Betty Wilkins and Mildred Sherman. Hello.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

What lovely friends you have, Margie. You should invite them here oftener. Much oftener.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Oh, thank you, Mr. Gilder.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Slee.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Not at all, my dear. I've always had an eye for redheads.

[Leroy]

But, Uncle Mort, last year she was a blonde.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

I see she's got a convertible top.

[Leroy]

Oh, Mr. Gild, all of that's to be going.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Think you're simply too tremendous starting these soldier parties.

[Leroy]

Oh, he ain't so tremendous. It's that suit he's wearing.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Well, I like him just the way he is. Especially that straight military bearing. After all, he was an army man, you know he was? What branch of the service were you in? You flew, didn't you?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

For a short time.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

What kind of a plane did you use?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

A plane? There's an old Jenny.

[Leroy]

And.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

And you were wounded too, weren't you?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes.

[Leroy]

Oh, dear.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Whereabouts were you wounded, Major Gilbert?

[Leroy]

At the front? No, it was in the Leroy. I was just gonna tell him it.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Was in the middle of a Leroy.

[Leroy]

What else? You told me yourself you were wounded right smack in the middle of Missouri.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, yes, that's right. In Jefferson City Mall.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

But even so, you were lucky to have recovered.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes. Everybody said I had a horseshoe in my hip pocket. I didn't get rid of it either, till they operated.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Well, what were you doing in the army when you weren't flying, Major?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, I was sort of a recruiting officer. Yes. Brought more than 9,000 recruits into the field artillery alone. I got a kick out of it, too.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

I imagine that must have been a lot of fun.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Fun?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, only at the beginning, my dear. I get awfully tired in the end.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Hey, uncle, isn't it time for you.

[Leroy]

To go to the radio station?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Why, George, you're right. Margaret, Leroy, you want to come along?

[Leroy]

Well, I'd like to, Unc, but I got a little surprise of my own for tomorrow. I'm going over to Piggy Banks house.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Oh, say, while you're there, Leroy, remind Piggy's sister Penny about coming tomorrow.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

You mean that Piggy Banks has a sister named Penny Banks?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Yes. Huh. She was named after her aunt Penelope, who lived in Indiana. Abby is one of the.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Don't tell me, Marjorie. I know one of the banks of the Wabash.

[Leroy]

Look, Peggy, how's about lending me your bugle?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Oh, I don't know, meatball.

[Judge Hooker]

What you want with it?

[Leroy]

I need it for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Oh, you got the wrong instrument on Thanksgiving. You play with drumsticks.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Now beat it.

[Leroy]

Oh, for corn's sake. Well, Pig, the reason I wanted is because we're gonna have a lot of soldiers for dinner. So what?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

We're having our cousin Rockwell. He's a city alderman.

[Leroy]

Oh, what's a measly old alderman? My uncle used to be a big shot in the army. A major in the Missouri Mules.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

What you mean?

[Leroy]

Oh, that's what they called his outfit. Say, he recruited the toughest, meanest, frightenest outfit that ever come out of Missouri.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

What kind of outfit was it?

[Leroy]

A field artillery. You know, the cannoneers with hairy ears.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Do they really have hairy ears?

[Leroy]

Oh, brother.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

I still can't see that this got.

[Judge Hooker]

Anything to do with Borrow my bugle.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Gee, you're dumb.

[Leroy]

I gotta make these soldiers feel at home so they can enjoy the turkey dinner. I'm gonna blow mess coil on your bugle.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Oh, I get you.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

That's a keen idea, meatball.

[Leroy]

Now, will you lend it to me?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Sure.

[Leroy]

Well, now, there's only one thing I gotta do.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

What's that?

[Leroy]

I gotta learn how to play a bugle.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

My, those turkeys sure look good. Birdie, you don't happen to have a spare leg, do you?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

No, sir, But I sure could use one with all the running around I got to do.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

No, Birdie. I mean a spare turkey leg. No, sir.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

I ain't gonna subdivide none of them birds before the zero hour. And when I serves them, they gonna be intact. A thing of beauty and a joy for about two minutes.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah? How about some stuffing then?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Nobody's gonna do no stuffing know how till? Everybody does. And that includes stuffing yourself with stuffed olives too.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, yeah? You talking to me?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Yes. I've hardly got enough olives now to spell out welcome to 32nd Regiment into mashed potatoes.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Huh?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

You know, people have been coming to the door all morning asking for soldiers for dinner just because you went on the radio last night.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, but I told them to go down to Bacon Square. Jumping jeeps. What's that?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Oh, it sounded like it came from the living room.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, it can't be anything serious. Then again, Maybe it can. I'll find out right away. Leroy, what are you doing?

[Leroy]

Learning how to blow a mess call.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Unc, was that mess call? Sounded more like a moose call.

[Leroy]

Boy, won't those soldiers be surprised when they hear me blowing the bugle.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, and won't you too?

[Leroy]

Oh, gee, give me a little time. All I need is practice. I heard in school that Grace Moore practices six hours a day.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, a lot of good it does her. I bet she still can't play the bugle. Well, it's a sweet thought, Leroy, Even if your music is sour. Oh, there's a doorbell. I'll get it. Folks. Yes.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Excuse me, please. Is this the gentleman who was speaking last night by the radio from Soldiers for Thanksgiving?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes, madam.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

They'll permit me to introduce myself. Mrs. Sapiro. Glad to meet you.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Right now in the oven, a nice young kosher turkey. And I am wanting a soldier who is likewise.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

I'm sorry, Mrs. Sapiro, but I haven't anything to do with these soldiers. Officially, you'll find him down at Bacon Square.

[Leroy]

Please.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

If the soldier boy I'm looking for is at Bacon Square, then he's not the soldier boy I'm looking for. Goodbye.

[Leroy]

You just got it downtown yet?

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

You better get going. It's almost 12.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

All right. Just as soon as I get my coat and hat.

[Judge Hooker]

And.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Leroy. Leroy, come on, if you're going downtown with me.

[Leroy]

Oh, Cam, here I come.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah. Stop that for a little young man. What are you doing swimming around in my old army uniform?

[Leroy]

See, that's part of the surprise. How do I look?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

You and the mothballs look fine.

[Leroy]

Girls, come in here and see Leroy.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Look. Cute at that.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

He's got uncle's uniform on. And it's all pinned up, isn't it?

[Leroy]

Shoot, the way the britches almost reach to the floor.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

I'll make you gilder. Steve, why don't you put it on?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, I'm sorry, girls, but I couldn't get into that uniform if it were three times as big as it is now, and I was twice as small small as I am, which would still be half again as large as the suit would be if it were double the size of what it is now. Which it isn't, thank goodness, because if it was, I'd have to wear it. And I can't because it doesn't fit. Heroi. With all those girls coming over to our house this afternoon, I'm gonna have to ask for about 12 soldiers instead of eight.

[Leroy]

Oh, that'll be super, Uncle.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Huh?

[Leroy]

Hey, look at all those tents. Gee, where are all the soldiers?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, they must be inside.

[Leroy]

Say, you don't think they've all been invited out already, do you?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Leroy, you get the most fantastic ideas.

[Narrator / Announcer]

Hello.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Where is everybody? How do you knock on a pup tent?

[Leroy]

There's nobody in here, Unc.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, my goodness. Nobody home. Leroy, get away from that cannon before it goes off and takes you with it. Why did we wait so long? If all these pup tents are empty, I'm certainly going to be in the doghouse.

[Leroy]

Hey, Uncle Moore, here comes a soldier. Shall we invite them?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes, of course. Oh, a soldier.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Yeah.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

How would you like to come over to my house for dinner now? Oh, I don't know. We're gonna have a. Hey, wait a minute. You leave this boy alone. He's coming home to dinner with me. Is that so? Don't you try to rustle my recruit. I saw him first. Oh, no, you didn't.

[Judge Hooker]

I saw him first.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

You did not. I saw him at least 20 seconds before you did. Mister, I saw this boy 20 years before you did.

[Judge Hooker]

He's my son.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

You. Come on, boy.

[Judge Hooker]

Mom's waiting.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, Mom's waiting. Oh, my goodness, Leroy, if I don't bring back a bevy of boys for that gang of girls, my goose Will be cooked instead of my turkeys.

[Leroy]

Hey, let's look in this big tent. Maybe somebody's here. Oh, hello, mister.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Hello.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

This is the mess tent, Leroy. Hello, Sergeant. Leroy, this is the mess, sergeant. Where can I find some of your borders?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Sergeant, they've disoited me. And after I've been working my fingers to the bone over a hot stove all morning.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Him?

[Leroy]

You mean they've all been invited to homes already?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Everybody, including my dishwashers.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, Leroy, we're sunk.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

You're sunk. What about me? 50 gallons of the finest turkey a la king made from a special recipe created by Prudence Penny. 20 dozen Dainty Parker House rolls that couldn't be topped by Parker house himself. And 32 mince pies made out of the tenderest part of the mint.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, well, I can sympathize with you, Sergeant, but maybe you can help us. How? Well, it just so happens that we've gotten ourselves into something of a mess, Sergeant. We have three turkeys and almost a dozen beautiful girls at our house just waiting to entertain some soldiers.

[Leroy]

Yeah, you should see the cookies that are waiting for the rookies.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

You'd have a wonderful time at our house. Sarge, how about taking off that apron and coming with us?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

I'm sorry, sir, but I'm on duty. Yeah, like the captain of a ship. Everybody else can leave, but I gotta get down with me pipe.

[Leroy]

Gee, that's too bad.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Come on, Unc.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Before you go, I got just one slight request I'd like to make. Would you please take a taste of my turkey, Akin?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, I don't think I. Oh, come.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

On, just one teensy weency little taste. Just so I didn't labor all morning in vain. Here.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Conscientious, isn't he, Leroy? Well, thank you.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

You have some, son.

[Leroy]

Thank you, but it is my appetite for dinner. And I've been saving this appetite for a week.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

How do you like it, mister?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, I think I'll have a little more.

[Leroy]

Oh, no, no, no, Uncle Mort. Come on, we gotta dig up some soldiers.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, you're right. Leroy, are you sure you won't come with a sarge? No, buddy.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Duty is duty. And besides, the colonel would be sure to catch me if I sneak down.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

The colonel? I'll bet he's got a few soldiers up his sleeve. Where can I find him?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Way over there at the other end of the square, sitting in his tent.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

You sit. Well, come on, Leroy. We'll lay our troubles in his lap. Yes, yes. I'm Colonel Atterberry. What can I do for You, Colonel? My name is Gilder Sleeve. Oh, yes, very unusual name. What can I do for you, Colonel? Colonel, I. I have a lovely big home, a wonderful cook and a dozen of the sweetest girls in Summerfield. What? No boys? You know, that's the trouble, no boys. We get all prepared to entertain 10 or 12 soldiers at dinner today. And when I come down to pick them up, what do I find? No soldiers. Not a single solitary rear rank, third assistant. But private. Well, I. I'm sorry. Sorry. HE gargles Hi, George. This is a pretty pickle for our army to get itself caught over a barrel in.

[Leroy]

Yeah, and after I've been practicing mess calls all day, too.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes, the poor little fellow almost blew his brains out. Well, I'll tell you what I'll do, Mr. Gilder sleeve. Gilder Sleep, sir. I think I know you from some place. Yes, yes. I can't place your face, but your.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Manners are awfully familiar.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes, well, never mind. As soon as some of our men return, I'll send them out to your house. That's just the old brush off. I'm just stubborn enough to stay. Right stubborn. That's it.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

I've got it.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Mules. That's where I know you from. You were stuck again, Gilder Sleeve, the officer who bought more bad mules than the whole artillery could shake a stick. Why, you don't pay any attention to the way he jokes, Leroy. Great kidders, these army men. Well, Colonel, now that you recognize me, I hope you'll trot out some suitable recruits for us to take home. Gilder Sleeve, I've got just the right detachment for you. Wonderful. Who are they? Some old friends of yours. A whole corral full of mules that just love to be your guest. Come on, Leroy. What am I laughing at? Donna Wish you'd invited me to go to dinner today. Leroy, you better run along home now and tell the girls I'll bring back some soldiers if I have to call out the Marines.

[Leroy]

Okay, Uncle. Where are you going now?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

I'm gonna try the USO headquarters. And if you see any soldiers on the way home, grab them. Even if they're wearing Civil War uniforms.

[Leroy]

I'll do my best, Uncle Mort. See you when you get home.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah. All right, Leroy. Oh, look who's standing on the corner. Well, hello, Judge Hooker.

[Judge Hooker]

Hello, Gilder Sleeve.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

What's wrong? You look as though you've lost your last friend. Of course, I know that happened years ago.

[Judge Hooker]

Gilder Sleeve, I'll thank you to keep your nose out of my business.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

I'll be Only too glad to. What are you doing hanging around street corners?

[Narrator / Announcer]

I'm.

[Judge Hooker]

Well, it's a long story. I happened to turn on the radio at home last night and there was a fellow urging everyone to invite a soldier to dinner.

[Narrator / Announcer]

Oh.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh. Oh, he did?

[Judge Hooker]

Ah, that's Peter. There's a man. The way he told every citizen to do his duty by our new army was stirring and inspirational.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

It was?

[Leroy]

Yes.

[Judge Hooker]

Why, the first thing I did this morning was phone the best restaurant in town and order the most expensive turkey dinner out to my house. I was going to invite a soldier to share it. That's the effect that speaker had on me.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, where is your soldier?

[Judge Hooker]

That's where the trouble comes in. People at the USO headquarters tell me that there would have been plenty of them to go around if this radio speaker hadn't really correct all their plans by urging everybody in town to come down after a soldier.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, my goodness.

[Narrator / Announcer]

So that was it.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Of all the numbskull notions.

[Judge Hooker]

Not a word against that man Gildersleeve. He made a wonderful impression on me. Clean cut, vibrant personality. One of nature's noblemen, I should judge. Wish I could meet him someday.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Would you really want to?

[Judge Hooker]

Yes.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, then shake hands.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Oh, you'd like to meet him, too?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Good gracious, no. I am him.

[Judge Hooker]

What?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

You? Why, you hypocritical hippopotamus.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

What?

[Judge Hooker]

No, no, that's wrong with me. I've misjudged you, Gildersleeve.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Well, I guess I've misjudged you too, Judge Hooker. I never thought you had a heart under that old thick height of yours. No, no. I just thought your blood circulated because you brought it to a boil.

[Judge Hooker]

What are you doing roaming the streets on Thanksgiving afternoon, Gildy?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, same thing as you are, Hooker. Looking for some military men to fight their way through a couple of 20 pound turkeys.

[Judge Hooker]

I suppose we do our hunting together, Gildy, old pal.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Why not, old chum? After all, this is Thanksgiving Day and we should treat each other like human beings for change.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Splendid.

[Judge Hooker]

That goes for me, too. At least for today.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah, well, come on, come on, come on. You work this side of the street and I'll take the other side.

[Judge Hooker]

All right.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Oh, boy. Wait a moment. What is it? Look, here comes the young fellow in uniform now. And I saw him first.

[Judge Hooker]

Yes, that's so. Hey.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Hey, son, come here.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Come here. Stop that, you double crossing little bot. Fly.

[Judge Hooker]

Young man, how'd you like a delicious turkey dinner, huh? Who, me?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes. He wants you to come up to my house.

[Judge Hooker]

I don't either. I'm in my house. I've got a great big turkey just for two of us.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

We got four turkeys at our house. And we'll give you a whole one for yourself, son.

[Judge Hooker]

Oh, gee whiz, I couldn't eat that much. And besides, I'm supposed to report to USO headquarters. They're closed for the day.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Corporal.

[Judge Hooker]

Come on out to my house. Oh, but I'm not a corporal.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Of course not, Sergeant. Now, my car is right over here, so if you'll excuse us, Judge.

[Judge Hooker]

No, come this way with me, Lieutenant.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

You wouldn't like it at his place, Captain.

[Judge Hooker]

Oh, now, gentlemen, please.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Let go of me.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Hey, you're tearing my uniform.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Let go of the major's uniform.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Let's trot along.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Let's trot along.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Okay, if you.

[Judge Hooker]

You want to get indigestion. Now, my turkey is his.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Turkey is as old as he is and just as tough.

[Judge Hooker]

Hey, I wish somebody would tell me.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

What this is all about.

[Judge Hooker]

Don't let him confuse your son. I'll take you to a movie after dinner.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

A movie? We're going to have dancing at our house. You'll have 12 beautiful hostesses to dance with.

[Judge Hooker]

Who wants to dance on a full stomach?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

You do, don't you, son?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Well, gee, I don't know. I never learned.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

No time like right after dinner.

[Narrator / Announcer]

Come on.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

That's my car right over there.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Of all the low down, back down, biting, double dyed, unscrupulous. I've had enough. Come back here, young man.

[Judge Hooker]

Who, me?

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Yes, you.

[Judge Hooker]

I'm going to start off entertaining you this afternoon by making this fat worm fold up like a roadmap. Here, hold my coat.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

I'll be very glad to.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

No, I won't.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Now see here, hooker, you point a pinky at me and I'll beat the day lots out of you and then back in again.

[Judge Hooker]

Gee, aren't you two fellas a little too old for this sort of thing?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

If you keep out of this. Who invited you to say I invited you? Come on, let's go home.

[Judge Hooker]

No, you don't. Yielder sleeve. I'm going to knock you colder than an Eskimo mother in law's kiss.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Why, you. Hold your. Oh, what's the use of quarreling like this if you've got your heart set on taking this young man home? Judge, I won't stand in your way.

[Judge Hooker]

But haven't I anything to say?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

No.

[Judge Hooker]

Get. Leave. Do you mean this?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yes, Judge. Go on, get your car. Hurry up now before I change my mind.

[Judge Hooker]

All right, you just Wait right here, soldier. I'll be back in a jiffy, and.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Then we'll have a wonderful dinner.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Yeah.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

Happy Thanksgiving. Kill Day.

[Judge Hooker]

Gee whiz, mister, you got me all confused. Do I have to have dinner with that other gentleman?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

With that old goat? Of course not.

[Narrator / Announcer]

Huh?

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

Wait till he turns the corner. All right, come on now. Run like anything.

[Birdie / Marjorie]

But the judge went that way.

[Narrator / Announcer]

I know that.

[Spin Quest Legal Disclaimer / Mr. Gilder Sleeve]

My car is this way. Hurry up, boy.

[Margaret / Mrs. Sapiro]

Old Laugh. There they are now. Come on, girls. Let's go to the front door. Come on, Birdie.

Get things ready, Leroy.

There's your cue.

What?

Why, no, sir. I'm a Boy Scout.
