Transcript

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, his father. A half hour visit with your neighbors the Ambisons.

Brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House. The coffee that's always good to the last drop. No, what a carrot is. It's a biennial amnacious plant with a usually orange-coloured spindle-shaped edible root. That's what a carrot is.

Very simple. A carrot is also a little girl by the name of Cathy who lives in Springfield with her family, the Andesans, in a white-frame house on Maple Street. That isn't quite as simple, but it's true.

Like this. I am contained vitamin A for your eyes and skin body and my top. C, Cathy, will you please stop that. But I have to learn it. That's all I've heard for a week.

I am carrot. Jim, why don't you leave the poor child alone? I'd like to move out until she decides whether she's a carrot or a girl. I'm a girl carrot. Margaret. They're going to do the play tomorrow and then it'll all be over.

By tomorrow I'll be a raving maniac. Kathy, why don't you go up to your room and study the parry? They kicked me out. Well, go down to the playroom. But said he'd shoot me. I don't know. I've had a hard day at the office. Dinner is late.

Jim, I told you why it was late. I know. I've got to get this carrot costume finished for Kathy's play and it isn't going to get finished by itself. I understand that, Margaret, but I don't think it's asking too much that I be permitted to read my newspaper.
