The Jack Benny program. Benny with Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Rochester, and yours truly. Non-well, we take it to Jack Benny's home in Beverly Hills. It's early morning.
Jack is still asleep and Rochester is in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Gotcha, Trapp! It's in my clientele. Guess I'm safe now.
Uh-oh. I'll have to dig up some excuse about Mr. Benny's tuxedo. Dog gone when I rented out for Jerome. Hard I know there's gonna cream aid him. Before the boss gets up. Good morning, Rochester.
I see by the snow to lift you want me to start delivering milk again and stop leaving cream. Yeah, Mr. Benny's back. Oh, say Rochester. Is it true that Mr. Benny is going on the air for a new sponsor?
Yes, sir. Well, look. You tell Mr. Benny I'll be listening to him. Good-bye. Good-bye. Oh, by the way, there's a little matter of last month's bill. Here it is. Twenty-eight dollars for cream. Okay, I'll write you out of check for it.
Wait a minute. Is that a pair of dice you're taking out of your pocket? Mr. Milkman, play that bill down on the ground. Oh, but Rochester, now look, I don't want it. It's too late now, I'm wound up.
Oh, all right. Here it goes. Dog gone, I've been homogenized again. Rochester.
Oh, good morning, boss. Sit right down and have your breakfast. Thanks. See, it's good to be home. Good to have you home, boss. You'll never know how much I miss you. Did you, Rochester? Yeah.
The three months you were away, this old house was so lonesome. I'd go into the living room and see a big, easy chair with no one in it. I'd feel like crying. Gee. The trees outside were in bloom, but they looked bad to me.
