Transcript

It's Friday night, so we take you now to Duffy's Tavern, starring Archie himself and Gardner. Duffy's Tavern is brought to you by Bristol Myers, makers of Vitalis and Minutrov. Two products that will pay you to remember.

Minutrov, modern chest rub, Vitalis for well-groomed hair. Minutrov, Vitalis. Hello, Duffy's Tavern. What do you like me to eat, aren't you? I just spakein' up, he ain't here. Oh, oh, Duffy, Merry Christmas to you.

Uh, by the way, we got two more Christmas cards tonight. Well, one from Colochita, Fruit Padler. Yeah, very pretty card to it. It's got his coat of arms. Two crossed bananas with a tomato rampant in the background.

Yeah, and the other one's from Cavendish, the undertaker. Yeah, it says, wishing you a joyous and Merry Christmas, and a short but happy new year. P.S. drop in and see our new Christmas wrappings. Hey, you ought to be here, Duffy.

You're ready to join this reek and with Christmas, the audit. Yeah, we're even putting on a show tonight, take Christmas, Carol. What's no play by Charles Dickens? Dickens, as in Go-To-D. You know, this guy's a very famous writer.

Duffy wrote David Copperfield, the picnic papers. I don't know what about the dame, you know. Oliver's Twist. Look, Duffy, I'm busy now. I got to rewrite the Christmas Carol. Yeah, well, I got to fix it up.

You know, some of that grammar is a little old-fashioned. I'll call you back, Duffy. Merry Christmas. OK. Hey, Eddie. Yes, look, it's Christmas. Why don't you say we kind of infest the joint with a little Christmas flavor?

We've just put some mistle toes around and some holly rates, huh? Oh, we've practically got a holly we've already. The customers at the bar turn in red, and the ones that just finished eating, they turn in green.
