Transcript

My friend Irma, created by Cy Howard, transcribed from Hollywood, and starring Marie Wilson as Irma, and Kathy Lewis as Jane. The guy who is about 110. Let me introduce you to my roommate Irma Peterson, a girl who only came close to 110 when she had a fever of 99.

What's the use I give up? Irma, what are you talking about and where have you been? I'm talking about my homework assignment for my night school class. I've been up on the roof counting people.

Counting people? Yeah, they want to know what the population of New York City is. All right, this might seem like the hard way to you, but if you'll just look it up in the world, all monack over there.

Wait, wait, never mind. Never mind. I'll do it. Here it is. Here it is. 8,053,000. Gee, I was off, I guess. How many did you count? 62 and a half. A half? Yeah, look, right over there.

Erm, he's tying his shoelaces. People do everything to confuse me. Jane, can I have that almanac? Why? Oh, well, I have to learn places of interest in New York. Be my guest. Thank you, now.

Let me see. Places of public interest in New York. I've just addressed it in New York. The George Washington Bridge. The George Washington Bridge has one of the longest suspenders in the world. That's suspension, Sonny.

And incidentally, did you know that the George Washington Bridge has enough cable to go around the world twice? Well, if I was going around the world, I'd want to go buy a boat or a plane. I would want to go buy cable.
