Transcript

From Hollywood, it's the George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. With Bill Good one, Pete Benadere at Hell March and Marvin Miller. As we look in at the Burns home today, we find George talking to Gracie.

Sounds simple, doesn't it? We'll try it sometime. You look worried, Gracie. Watch the trouble. I think too much, George. I'm afraid my brain will wear out. Really? What do you think about it? Everything. Oh, I'm away ahead of other people.

A look at that girl who married Carrie Grant. Everybody says, what a smart girl. Well. I thought of marrying Carrie Grant years ago. You're thinking every minute? I come from a family of thinkers. Big thinkers.

The biggest, the biggest. My brother Willie is famous for thinking out of his feet. Yes, I'm sure. When anyone asks him how much to and to are, he takes off his shoes and thinks out of his feet.

Yes. Yeah, then Willie's a bright kid. He must have gotten some high marks in school. Willie got the highest marks ever given by a teacher. Willie? Yes. They were on top of his head. She hit him with a ruler.

That's a brother to be proud of. Oh, and all my sisters are smart too. Pearl, Bessie, Westinghouse, Hazel. Well, my sister... Gracie, I've always wanted to ask you. How did Westinghouse get her name? Oh, well, when she came along, my mother really wanted a refrigerator.

Westinghouse, Alan. Nice name. Well, anyway, my sister... Hey, Gracey, aren't you getting kind of tired? No, I could talk for days about my family. What I'm afraid of, yes. You know, Gracey, I think you've got too much time on your hands.
