The Armed Forces Radio Service presents my friend Irma. Starring Marie Wilson as Irma, Joan Banks as Jane, and Hans-Conry as the lovable Professor Kerpatkin. Friendship, friendship, for Ben, forgot to... I kept you so long.
Well, past our station. Why? Well, every time I went to get off some nice gentleman, got up and offered me a seat, and I just couldn't turn him down. Oh, Jean, I have wonderful new, really?
I've decided to better myself. Oh, wonderful. You're going to give up, Al. Oh, no, Jane. I mean, I've made up my mind to have culture and social position, so I took my last $30 out of the bank and enrolled in the school for piano lessons.
Piano lessons? Mm-hmm. Erma, look in the corner. Mm-hmm. Oh, it's not there. No. Oh, well, you probably mislaid it someplace. Yes, I swept it under the rug while I was cleaning. Look, sweetie, I'm trying to get this situation clear.
I sent the piano back to cut down expenses, and you have to pick this time to take piano lessons. Irma, I can't understand how you could do a thing like that. You'll never touch that piano.
Well, it got me all confused. It has three pedals on the bottom, and I only have two legs. Irma, let's not waste any more time. The piano is gone, and you need your money. So go back to the music school and tell them you've changed your mind.
Oh, Jane, they won't give them money back. You can see what it says right here in this circular. Let me see. The Beethoven School of Music. San Beethoven Presidents. Oh, they have a real nice slogan, haven't they, Jane?
