Irma Wants an Older Man ( )

My friend Irma, created by Cy Howard, transcribed from Hollywood, and starring Marie Wilson as Irma, and Kathy Lewis as Jane. So I think I'll wake her up and congratulate her. Watch what happens now. Irma? Honey?

You take your hands off of me, card gable? Boy, when this kid dreams, she really dreams. Irma, come on. Hey, hey, hey, Irma. Huh? Good morning, Janie. Good morning, Cookie. You know what day this is?

No. May 5th. Doesn't that mean anything to you? Let me think. May 5th. What is it? 256 shopping days until Christmas. No. Years ago. 25. Your mother and father had an addition to the family.

Oh, I remember. That was the year the barn burned down the cowl slept in the kitchen. Oh, good. No. No, today is your birthday. Oh, so it is. Congratulations, honey. Gee, just think, today I'm a year older.

That's right. They say the older you get, the smarter you get. That's what they say. And I always be spru- I don't think so. You just put two spoons full of salt in your coffee.

See? Hey, Cookie, I've been doing so much extra work for Richard this week. I haven't had time to arrange anything for you in the way of a celebration. I hope you'll understand. Oh, that's all right, Jane.

You didn't have to plan anything. Besides, my Al is taking me out to a special birthday lunch today. Well, that's very nice. Yeah, Gee, Jane, I can't tell you how different life has become since my Al is working steady.

What do you mean? Well, this is the first time he's taking me to lunch without asking me to bring sandwiches along. Or I didn't have much time to shop, but I hope you like this little birthday present I bought you.
