Transcript

The fire of 79 Westville Vista is a man of instant decision. He decides important questions in a flash, just like that. Of course, he may not do anything about it right away, but he decides quickly.

For instance, a problem has just come up that, but maybe you'd better hear about it from Fiverr McGee and Molly. Sorry I said to myself, I said, look McGee, I says, the country's got plenty of fuel oil and coal, I said, but they got a problem of distribution, I said.

says, transportation. Well, I asked myself, what can I do about it personally? And that made me sore. Don't be so stupid, I said to myself. Well, one of these days you'll get so mad at yourself you won't speak to you for days.

Well, I almost did this time. Well, I said, looking myself right in the eye, which was kind of hard to do because there's a wobbly place in that hall mirror. Well, you've got I can put our first back to coal burner, I say, because coal is going to be easier to get in this locality than fuel oil.

So that's what I'm going to do. Where's my pipe wrench? You didn't have a pipe wrench. No, you barred it from Mr. Tooks and I gave it back to him. You never smoke a pipe anyway.

Oh, I see. I don't smoke a pipe, so you give away my pipe wrench. Well, will you permit me to keep my monkey wrench if I go out and buy a monkey? I don't be ridiculous.

Besides, I don't think you can change our furnace from oil to coal by yourself anyway. Is that so? Why, it's a thing, Mrs. McGee. Or it would be if you didn't play Mrs. Santa Claus with all my equipment.
