Transcript

Is Maxwell House the best coffee in the whole world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, it's father knows best. Transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young's father. A half hour visit with your neighbors, the Anderson's, brought to you by Maxwell House.

The coffee that's bought and enjoyed by more people than any other brand of coffee at any price. Maxwell House, always good to the last drop. Not too many weeks ago, we spoke of love, and now we're going to speak of it again.

This might prove to be monotonous except for one thing, the peculiar quality of love itself. You see, love is a sickness full of woes, all remedies refusing. Despite repetition, you'll find that it grows constantly more confusing.

So let's go to Springfield to the White Frame House on Maple Street, where for the next half hour, the Andesans will add their special sort of bewilderment to our own natural confusion. But good. Alright, Kathy, let's pretend it's a game. Now listen, A has 12 apples. He gives one third to B. Why? What do you mean why? Why does it give one third to B? Kathy, how

can I understand it if I don't know why he's giving the apples away? Jim, but isn't busy And I'm sure you're... Margaret. Yes, dear. I'm perfectly capable of explaining simple fractions even to this... genius.

All right, dear. I suppose you know best. Now look, Cathy. If I just knew why he was giving the apples away, then maybe I could figure it out. They're very good friends, Kathleen. A and B? Yes. How come?

They were in the army together. While they were in the army, they decided that if they ever had any apples, they'd share them. Now is that clear? It didn't say that in the book. It was on another page and the page fell out. Oh, well no wonder I didn't understand that.
