Redecoration Woes

Mother, is Maxwell House really the only coffee in the world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, its father knows best, transcribed in Hollywood, starring Robert Young as father. A half hour visit with your neighbors, the Anderson's, brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House.

The coffee that's always good to the last drop. During the third act of Romeo and Juliet, the fair Miss Capulet comes up with a dilly. Was ever book containing such vile matter so fairly bound she asks?

You know what she meant? Don't judge a book by its cover, that's all. Well in Springfield, in the White Frame House on Maple Street, the Andersons aren't quite as flowery as Juliet, but they're going to be given a treat just the same in the fine art of judging books and other things like this.

Margaret, I'm home! Margaret! If there wasn't anything else I could do... What's going on in here? Didn't you hear me, Cole? I'm sorry, dear. We didn't know you'd come in. Hi, Daddy! Hello. I've been standing in the hall for 10 minutes, screaming my head off.

Well, we seem to have a little problem. Father, I couldn't help it really, I couldn't. What did she do now? She's in love! Taffy! Mush, that's all it is. Just plain mush. Never mind, bud.

I may be a little dense, but since when does Betty falling in love constitute a problem? Father! She changes boyfriends like I change my socks. Jim, the problem is not Betty's new boyfriend. Well, Kathy just said.

I said she was in love, and she is. Why don't you mind your own business? I do! I mind everybody's business. Posh, that's all it is. Mush. But if that's the most you can add to the general conversation.
