The Riviera Ballet

We present the amusingly transcribed adventures of Aussie and Harriet, starring America's favorite young couple, Aussie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard. Well, it seems rather busy downtown today. As the crowd gathered over in front of the civic auditorium, uh, looks as if they're standing in line for something.

Gosh, I hope there's no trouble of any sort. Oh, I guess not. That policeman looks calm enough. He's just standing there looking over that car. Oh, oh. No wonder he's looking at it. It's parked right in front of a fire hydrant.

Now, who in the world would be thoughtless enough to do a thing like that? Good afternoon, officer. Mm-hmm. Oh, good afternoon. It's a lovely day, isn't it? It's a beautiful day. Uh, things pretty quiet this afternoon?

Oh, yes. Yes. So far. Uh, this isn't by any chance your car here, is it? Car? Well, for goodness' sake. Somebody's pushed me right in front of this fire plug. I want you to look at this officer.

Yes, I've already seen it, thanks. In fact, I was just about to make a little notation on it when you came along. Makes you wonder what in the world possesses people to do a devilish thing like that.

Push a man's car in front of a fire hydrant. Well, people do some strange things sometimes. As a matter of fact, I've never given a ticket to a man for parking in front of a fire plug.

Well, that's a very nice attitude to take. A pardon me, you didn't let me finish. Oh, I'm sorry. You were saying? I've never given the ticket to a man for parking in front of a fireplug who didn't insist he was pushed there.
