Rochester, Stephonor, would be late for the broadcast. Okay, boss. Don't turn here. We gotta pick up Miss Livingston. Pick up Miss Livingston? Yes, and we gotta pick up Mr. Harris and Mr. Wilson. It's our first program and it's up to me to gather my little group together.
What are you, mother hans? Never mind what I am. Be careful of those bumps. It's the wonder you wouldn't put a little air in the fire. There's plenty of air that just ain't enough tires.
Now, don't be so funny. I've got a brand new one on the front. Show us this out, don't it? Rochester just dry. Take it easy. Here we are, Miss Livingston's house now. This is waiting for us.
Oh, yeah, doesn't she look cute? Hello, Mary. Oh, Rochester. Oh, Miss Livingston. She, Mary, I called you only ten minutes ago. I'm surprised to see you all dressed up and waiting for us. I owe it all to Sipper's.
Well, they are very handy. We'll hop in the car. We got to get to the studio. Okay. Hold those springs down. I don't want to tear my new dress. All right, get in. There you are.
Oh, they got me. Isn't that awful? Rochester, how many times have I told you to fix these seat cushions? He's a nine or ten. Well, I wish I knew what number was bingo with you.
Now, get going, we still got to pick up the bill and don't. Okay, boy. The motor is a little cold, isn't it? Gee, Jack, I thought you told me you bought a new car this year.
I said nothing to the kind, Mary. I said I was looking at new cars. That'll never start a boom. Rochester, this is a two-way conversation. So keep out of it. Oh Jack, you ought to be ashamed yourself.
