Your Coca-Cola bottle represents Claudia based 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 My oh my oh my anything the matter heart me anything the matter I should say not
Everything is superb wonderful static No, I'm glad you have country relatives. I always was David why is it I sleep better in the country. I eat better in the country. That's because you don't live in the country David How about another cup of coffee?
I don't mind if I do. Yes, it's true Claudia. Hartley comes up to the country, spends a day with his farmer brother, and he has absolutely no worries. But worries of you. Must I count them so early in the morning?
Yes, David, go on. Be explicit. Well, hardly I worry that the pipes aren't going to burst. Summer, they don't burst in summer. If pipes could, mine would. And I worry that the cow isn't fed properly.
We haven't got a cow, doke. That's really why I worry. Someplace, somewhere in the state of Connecticut, there's a cow for me. Where? I don't know exactly where, so I can't do anything to see that she's gotten the proper care, so all I can do is worry.
That's a nice, realistic approach to things. What other fantasies are on your mind, David? Well, my fields aren't tilled, my barn isn't completed, my driveway has to be regraveled, and, Mark, may rain. No wonder you look so well.
Those kind of worries will keep you young man. It's the old story about the grass on the other side of the fence. What about it? It's greener. You don't believe a word David's saying. He hasn't got a thing on his mind except problems, and they don't have a thing to do with living in the country.
