Transcript

Transcribe. appliances. You've heard of tail end Charlie haven't you? You know the youngest member of a family who lives on hand me downs and leftovers. Well his lot isn't

really so bad but every now and then Charlie decides it's time to rebel and at a certain white frame house on Maple Street a Charlie rebellion is underway only this Charlie's name is Kathy like this. Turn blue bud. What did I do?

You see, Margaret? Well, I certainly prefer it to drop dead. You too, Betty. Turn blue. Kathy, try a different color. All right, then. Turn purple. Kathy, come in here. She's been acting this way for days.

I think we ought to take her to a doctor. You take me to a doctor, and you know what I'll tell him? Turn blue. Kathy, stop at this instant. Look here, kitten. That's no way for little girls to act.

Little girls, little girls. That's all I ever hear. Betty and Bud get everything and I don't get anything. Just because they happen to be born first. Kathleen, that's not true. There's no difference in the way we treat you children.

That's so. Betty gets a brand new green formal and I get her all pink dress made over. If you don't like the color of your dress, why don't you give it the same treatment you've given us this morning?

What do you mean, Daddy? Turn blue. Anybody want to go out and play catch? Kathy? No, I won't. You got a brand new mid, and I got your old one. Want to play catch, Dan?

I'd like to, Bud, but I promised myself I'd clean the basement this morning. Hey, Mom, don't put that doughnut away. I'll eat it. Help yourself, Bud. Mmm. That is good. Can I have a doughnut too, Mommy?
