Your Coca-Cola bottler presents Claudia, faced on the famous play and novels by Rose Franken. Brought to you transcribed Monday through Friday by your friendly neighbor who bottles Coca-Cola. Relax and while you're listening refresh yourself. Have a Coke.

And now, Claudia. Hey David aren't you gonna have a second cup of coffee? What for? You go with your second piece of toast. I suppose if I had nine cups of coffee, I'd have nine pieces of toast or vice versa.

How did you know I want a second piece of toast? Psychic, because I love you. That's nice. Did I'm psychic, you mean? Oh, but you love me. Oh, David, isn't it a lovely morning? Oh, it's lovely. Very lovely. It's raining cats and dogs.

Raining, who cares? It's lovely inside. I hope mom is headaches better. Of course it is. Wasn't it a beautiful moon last night? Oh, not bad. I love you even more when you try to be off-handish.

It's so funny. Off-handish, man. Oh, I feel so good this morning. I don't even mind the rain. Well, rain and no rain. Off to work. That is the only blot on the scutcheon. Scutcheon? You don't even know what a blot on a scutcheon is.

Of course I do! It's a fly in the ointment. You're catching that train every morning. He's a fly on our scutchings. I thought you were going to say I was catching flies every morning. That wouldn't make any sense to anybody, including me.

Well then you're not as bright as I am. No, I guess I'm not. Say, isn't this house cozy in the rain? Cozy when it isn't raining. That's because it's well insulated. Beautifully designed too. We had a wonderful architect.
