Stranded Strangers

Mother, 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 as father. A half hour visit with your neighbors, the Hamdasons, 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. A wondrous gift I bring to thee, bright as a star and a velvet sky, light as a moonbeam dancing by, and I call my gift, contentment.

It's raining in Springfield, it's been raining as a matter of fact for the past three days. In the White Frame House on Maple Street, close confinement has sharpened nerves to a razor's edge, and tension mounts precariously with each falling reindrum.

Dramatic, isn't it? Go ahead, Kathy. Wait a minute. Kathy, I'll trade you Indiana Avenue in the electric company from Marvin Garden. I don't want Marvin Gardens. Daddy? Yes, Kathy. How many do I need for the B&O railroad?

Five. I hope you get a ten in land and jail. But, well she's got all the other railroads now. But if you and Betty can't be good sports about it... Father, I don't mind losing, but she gets the boardwalk in part place every game and what fun is it?

Well, what do you know? Five! Alright bud, give her the other railroad. Here's two hundred dollars bud, put another house on the boardwalk. You can't put any more houses on the boardwalk, you've got a hotel now.

Well, why cannot Father, she doesn't know anymore about this game than a rabbit. I do too. You do not. I do too. Nothing I like more than a nice quiet game of Monopoly. I do too.
