Transcript

Family Theater presents Bob Hope. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents It Isn't Quick It. And now here is your host, Bob Hope. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring everyone's attention, a practice that must become an important part of our lives.

I should be out hittin' grounders. He has every right to see ya, he's the new owner. I gotta contract. It's not about the contract, he just wants to meet you and the other girls. You owner, why shouldn't Mrs. Barrett have left the club to someone who knew something about the game?
