Transcript

That's right folks. C for comedy, A for Abbott, M for Maxwell, E for Ennis, L for Luke Costello. Put them all together and they spell camels. Experience is the best teacher.

Try a camel. Let your own experience tell you why more people are smoking camels than ever before. And draw off a chair for tonight's camel show starring Bud Abbott and Luke Costello. Hanley Stafford is pinch-hitting for Bud Abbott, who has a bad case of Larry and Jydus, and is listening in at home.

So, Costella, come over here. What's the matter with you? Oh, Hanley, I feel so unnecessary. Tomorrow is the first day of spring. Yes, and I hope you didn't forget to take that spring tonic I made for you.

That's sulfur and molasses. Yes, but I'm not going to take any more rest of Hanley. You put too much sulfur in it. Too much sulfur. Yes, this morning when a barber massage my face, my nose lit up.

Castello, you got spring fever. Oh yes, Kelly. I think I'm in love with Marilyn Maxwell. Everywhere I look, I see her face. As I look around this room, even the design in the wallpaper seems to say, Marilyn. Marilyn. Marilyn. Marilyn. What was that? A crack in the wallpaper.

Where? Oh, Marilyn. You are my road to love. Road to love? Yes, and what detours? Ireland, don't mind Costello. He's got spring fever. Ah, but springtime is romantic, Louis. Suppose, though, suppose I would have take you in my arms and say, I only have one heart. One heart. What would you say?

Two clubs? Well, Lewis, Lewis, I've got to go now and order my new BVD. BVD? Mm-hmm. That's my brown velvet dress. See you later, boys. Hey, Haley, remind me to give it of my IOU.
