Transcript

Erma honey, yes Jane. This magazine says that scientists in Arizona have just found the footprints of a prehistoric animal two million years old. What do you think of that? Well, I think they're silly if they try to track it down.

I'm sure it's dead. Well, that's what you can expect when you listen to my friend Erma. Friendship, friendship, just perfect friendship When other friendships have been forgot, theirs will still be hot. Leave a brother's company makers of Swan, the soap with the exclusive super cream to blend presents.

Our friend Swan with my friend Irma. Starring Marie Wilson as Irma and Kathy Lewis as Jane. You know, tonight is a very important night for me. I'm anxious to be bright and gay, and I want to look my best.

The reason? I met a new fellow. I really kinda like him. So I decided to discuss it with my roommate Irma. Irma, yes Jane, I know this may shock you honey, but I have a date tonight, and it's not with Richard.

Not with Richard. Oh, Jane, you're going to get a reputation for being foot loose. Of course, if you wanna go round with loose feet. Oh, Irma, stop being a puritan. This is 1948. How long gonna girl wait for a man?

I'm getting older. So what do you know what they say, Jane? Wine improves with age. I know. If you wait long enough, it can turn into vinegar. Personally, I think Richard's just wonderful. But it doesn't seem to be getting any more serious.

The sound of those wedding bells seems to be growing fainter. Well, that's one problem. I haven't got Jane. I hear bells in my head all the time. But Jane, who's your new fellow? Oh, his name's Peter Guilford.
