Starring Jack Benny with Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Rochester, Larry Stevens and yours, Pouly, Don Wilson. And let's go out to Jack Benny's house where we find Jack and Rochester cleaning out the swimming pool. Who now, boys?
Yeah. Got this pool short and get dirty in a few months. Maybe we'd keep cleaner if it had a little, if it had a towel bottom. Well, I... Or even a cement bottom. Well, I...
In fact, any kind of bottom would be there in Mississippi, but... Well, I would cement it, but I'm growing rice in the shallow end. I'll come on, let's start cleaning the pool. We'll begin down with the deep end.
OK. Watch your step going down the sloping part. It's still wet and slippery. Ooh. Congratulations, boss. Eighteen inches, pearls and lashes. Rachas, or help me up. OK. Mm. Now, Rachas, or pick up that stick and clean out the drain.
What stick? That one up there on the edge of the pool. Boss, put on your glasses, that's the diving board. Ah, no. Anyway, let's get out with the scrubbing. OK, I'll go to the house and get a bucket full of water.
You don't have to go to the house for water, just turn that handle up there. But, Boss, that's the one that fills the pool. Don't worry, you turn the handle, I'll hold this bucket under the pipe.
But, Boss, that'll be tough, tuck, tuck. Now, go ahead and turn the handle. I've got the bucket. OK. Ready? Yeah. Right at all. I'm drowning. Everything's gone black. You ain't drowning, boss. You got the bucket over your head.
Don't stand there saluting me. Take that bucket off my head. Okay. Come on now. Let's try to... Try it. Now look at that frog over there in the corner of the pool. Really cute? Yeah, it's your big dude.
