Transcript

The Castello program brought to you by Camel, the cigarette that's first in the service, according to actual sales records. See if your throat and your taste don't bake Camel, the first with you too. Find out for yourself.

Listen to the great rhythms of Freddie Ritch and his orchestra, the swingy singing of Connie Haines. And that great statesman from the Dumb Barton Oaks Conference, who said... Hey, Castellac, Castellac, come here a minute.

Come here, will you please, what's all the excitement about it? What are you so happy about? Oh, look at it. I just got a letter from my cousin, Corporal Hugo Costello. He's way over in Africa, and he says, all the soldiers in his company are going to have a white Christmas.

Why, you dummy, it's very hot in Africa. How could the soldiers have a white Christmas? Their cook is going to bleach the beans. The end. Costello, it's about time you were thinking of Christmas. Do you realize there are only age-chopping days left?

You know, I just bought a hundred Christmas seals. A hundred Christmas seals? Sure. For goodness' sakes, how are you going to feed them? I... Look, Costell, are you going to make much out of Christmas this year?

Am I what? Are you going to make much out of Christmas this year? I can't tell until I sell the presents I get. I... Sell your presents? Oh, sure, rabbit, sure! What are you talking about?

I even sold that electric bed warmer. You gave me last year. That was no good. That electric bed warmer? That wasn't an electric toaster. An electric toaster? Certainly. No wonder it kept turning me over and throwing me out of bed.
