Transcript

Is Max Wilhouse 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 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. Max Wilhouse, always good to the last drop. Today, being the 22nd of February, the people of America are engaged in a nationwide celebration, honoring the birth of the man who was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts

of his country. In Springfield, in the White Frame House on Maple Street, the celebration has reached a melodic and spirited climax, like this. Happy Birthday, Dear Daughter. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday, Father. Thank you.

Thank you for both George Washington and myself. I say thank you. Beach. Beach. Uh, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, Jim, don't you think you'd better blow out the candles before they'd drip all over the cake?

Okay. Hang on to your chairs, kids. This is going to be like blowing out a forest fire. Oh, you just got to get out of here! It's harder every year. Now suppose we forget about the speech and concentrate on the cake.

May I have your plate, Margaret? Just a small piece, dear. Alright. There you are. Jim, I said a small piece. Well, it's my birthday. I'm in a generous mood. Betty? Thank you, Father. But? Don't worry about getting mine too big, Dad.

Alright. How's that? Not the whole cake. Leave him alone, Mommy's doing fine. Boy. But when you feel the explosion coming on, give us time to step back. OK, Dad. Kathy? Is it all right if I don't eat any cake, Daddy?
