Transcript

Family Theater presents Mitzi Gaynor and Lyle Bechker. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents God in a Red Scooter, starring Lyle Bechker. And now here is your hostess, Mitzi Gaynor. Thank you, Tony Lefrano.

Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. If we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world, family theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family.

Now to our transcribed drama, God and a red scooter, starring Lyle Betker as Ed. Sleep is beautiful, sleep is a soft hand smoothing the frowns and frets on the tired faces of men. There's a mother hand rocking the cradle of the world, rocking it softly, rocking men and women and all the little children to sweet silence and peace.

That's what sleep is. Do you want to know something? I pity the man who does not know how to sleep. Consider little Eddie. I love children like Eddie. Eddie knows how to sleep. Before he went to bed he was having a talk, all by himself down there in the garden.

This is the way he spoke this afternoon, as he sat dropping pebbles into a milk bottle. Know what I said, God? Know what I said to Daddy? I said, God did hear me. That's what I said.

And God, remember when I said, please give me a red scooter like Stevie and Tony Scott? Remember when I said that about the scooter? Didn't you hear me God, didn't you? Look God, I got lots of pebbles.

Whole million. See what I mean? See why I love little children like Eddie. He wanted a red scooter, went to sleep dreaming of a red scooter. Did he get the scooter? Well, I'll have to tell you the whole story.
