Transcript

And the Abbot and Costello program brought to you by Camel, the cigarette of costlier properly aged tobaccos. See if your throat and your taste don't make Camel a first with you too. Find out for yourself.

Listen to the great rhythms of Freddie Ringe and his orchestra, the swingy singing of Connie Haynes. And that little fat boy who, when he heard Frank Sinatra, was going to be on our show tonight, said, hey!

Costello, where have you been? And who's that fellow standing behind you? Oh, this guy, he works for me, Emmett. What does he do for you? Well, I broke my suspenders this morning, and he follows me around and holds his hands on my hips.

You should be ashamed. You should be ashamed of yourself. And take the joke with you. Come here. And I'm mad, Christ Ella. You should be ashamed of yourself. Just look at the condition of your clothes.

You know we're having Frank Sinatra on our program tonight. You know that, don't you? Yeah. Now, how can you be so untidy? Oh, I'm untidy. You are. Did you ever get a good look at Sinatra?

That guy looks like a stand-in for a dasma. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We'll have no incels. Sanatra is considered a very handsome man. And so skinny if they wanted to hang them, they'd have to put the rope under his arms.

Castella looks aren't everything. Sanatra is very intelligent. He's a college man. He has a sheep skin. But why don't you wear a veil and nobody will notice him? Nah. You should be very glad that Sanatra is coming here tonight.
