Lucky strike. First again with tobacco men. The Lucky Strike program starring Jack Benny with Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Rochester, Dennis Dain, yours truly down Wilson. Ladies and gentlemen, once again, we'd like to take you out to Jack Benny's home in Beverly Hill.
It's evening and Jack has just finished dinner and is relaxing in his usual way. You know, Rochester, I always like to play my violin after dinner. No, it soothes and relaxes me.
I hope it doesn't bother you. Oh, no, I haven't had my dinner yet. You know, Rochester, I often think what a fool I was not to have made the violin my career. You know, I might have become a great virtue also, but no, no.
Instead, I had to become a comedian, a clown, a buffoon. What a rich buffoon! That's the wrong attitude. The world will be better off if people have a different viewpoint. No money isn't everything. Remember what Shakespeare said.
