Transcript

Mother, is Max Willhouse really the only coffee in the world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, it's father knows best. Transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young, his 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. We once knew a man who was extremely wealthy, And he had a wonderful system for acquiring money, which we think we'll interest you.

He was up every morning at six, worked 14 hours a day, seven days a week for almost 20 years. And then, when he was only 45 years of age, his uncle died and left him three million dollars.

Wasn't that nice? Of course, a thing like that would never happen to our friends in Anderson's, but it almost did. Yes, sir, they came awfully close to being the richest family in Springfield. Like this?

I know Frank, but I don't care what Gribble says. Look Frank, Van Norton's willing to give us the land, and if the committee isn't willing to take it, okay Frank, okay. And you can tell Gribble for me that he's nothing but a pig headed old goat.

He's nothing but a self-centered stubborn old jackass, that's what he is. Is something wrong there? Oh, that Gribble. He's killing the whole deal I worked out for the playground. Jim, I wish he wouldn't take it so much to heart.

After all, it isn't your responsibility. Well, that isn't the point. I talk Van Norton into giving ten acres of land for the playground. Giving it, mind you. And Gribble won't even take it. Says there must be something wrong with it.
