Well hello, come right in. Oh, Jog, we've got company! Yes, sir! And out meets the people who live in the burnt house, George and Gracie. Well, last month, Gracie stole the burnt house, and ever since she's been looking desperately for an apartment.
We now find George on a park bench, waiting for Gracie to meet him and make her daily report. Well, this is great. She was supposed to meet me at twelve o'clock and it's already past two.
of all the... Hello, sweetheart. Am I late? You certainly are. Well, that cleared that up. Did you know when I heard the clock strikes too, I couldn't decide whether I was two hours later, ten hours early.
I'm glad I cleared it up. Did you find an apartment? No. That's fine. Still no place to live. Oh, now, George. You've got nothing to worry about. Remember, your marriage to an Allen. Believe me, that's something to worry about.
No, I mean, we all have to sit together. You and I can move in with anyone in my relative. But for example, my brother Willie. Willie? Is that the tall brother? No, it is the short one.
He's exactly the tall because he's got high blood pressure. Oh, that'll do it, I guess. If we move in with him, we can sweep him instead. Well, doesn't he use it? No, he can't down the floor, so his blood pressure will be lower.
You know, there's only one drawback to moving in with Willie. We might have to send him to get from his house to end these two. Where does he live? New Jersey. No wooden skates be quicker?
