Transcript

From Hollywood, it's Dream Time. Ladies and gentlemen, the makers of Dream Shampoo are pleased to present the 14th at a series of new programs produced by Carlton Alsop and starring Don Abichie. Let me sleep, will you, Blanche?

Francis Langford? I just can't stand that's roaring. Anne, Danny Thomas. I just want to say I'm sorry I couldn't be with you last week, and may I take this opportunity to express my sincerest thanks to a great guy who pinched it for me, Red Skeleton.

And by the way, where's our host? Oh, Darlamichi. Glad to see you back. Thanks, thanks. By the way, Don, I listened last week. I heard you tell Frances that during my spare time, I was a babysitter, and I resented.

Well, do you deny it? No, I just resented. You know, Danny, you'd get much better jobs if you learned to make friends quickly. But how? Well, be neighborly. The philosophy is to walk up to even a total stranger, throw your arms around him and say, let's be friends.

Yeah, I did that the other day, and I got slugged. I don't know, it just doesn't seem to work on girls. You know Danny, I think your problem lies in the fact that you're ignorant of the social graces.

How much schooling have you had? I went to school for three years. Oh, well, I went to school for fourteen years. Some people learn faster than others. Don, if I had my choice, I'd have gone to Vassar.

Oh Danny, Vassar is devoted to girls. What do you think I'm devoted to, ducks? Now Danny, you know, schooling isn't enough. To be a true gentleman, one must have a background of generations of culture.
