Transcript

There is starring with field ball with Richard Denny as lives in George Cooper. Two people who live together and like it. As we look in on the Cooper's dinner is over. George Cooper is in the living room reading the paper.

And out in the kitchen, Liz Cooper is talking to Katie, the maid. Katie was at the glass pie plate we used to have. What? Oh, it's in the bottom cupboard. Why? I'm going to try an experiment on George.

No, Mrs. Cooper, don't do it. Please. He's too young to die. Why? What do you think I'm going to do? You're going to pay the pie for him. Oh no, I'm not. I don't be silly.

I'm going to use the power of the gesture. Oh, here he is. Mr. Cami, I want George to buy a television set, but he won't pay any attention to me. Are you going to hit him with that glass plate?

No. No, I'm going to hold it up in front of my face and pretend I'm a television show. Why can't he? I don't know. Your face is always the end of the target. Now I look like television already.

I just hope George gets the idea. Might help if you gave your ladies a mahogany thing. Relax, Kitty. But I wouldn't see what happens. Well, yes, there are mumbling lids can't understand you was at last played in front of your face.

It's supposed to be there. Look at me, George. What am I? A watching machine. Oh, great. Now I've got to think like dirty laundry. I am not a working machine, just again. A sailor looking out of a porthole.
