Transcript

From Hollywood, it's Dream Time. Ladies and gentlemen, the makers of Dream Shampoo are pleased to present the 16th in a series of new programs produced by Carlton Alsop and starring Donamieche. Let me sleep with you please, Blanche.

Francis Langford. John, I'll go insane if you don't stop that snoring. Danny Thomas. You're a free country. I'm a citizen. And Carmen Dragon and his orchestra. And here is your host for the evening, Donamiechee.

Ladies and gentlemen, and good evening. Hello, Don. Hello, Francis. I haven't been to tell you something for a long time. When I look at you, I see the brush of Raphael kissing a canvas with your likeness.

When I hear you, it's the strains of a Shubert Sonata reaching out to caress my ears. And when I'm with you, it's a divine son of the love written by Shakespeare. Such a lovely comparison and so literary.

Who can be worthy of such words? The way I really feel about you is beyond words. For instance, just look out of that window. Do you see those two Robins on that branch with their beaks together?

What are you supposed to be thinking about? Worms. Why Danny, Danny Thomas. Oh Danny, please, please, why must you always be so horribly present at the wrong times? Until you came along I was having a purely intellectual conversation with a charming girl.

Look I happen to be an expert on a subject. I've got plenty of girls, haven't I? You have. Certainly. I even write my diary two weeks in advance. I might maybe so, but right now you're reading my diary over my shoulder.

Meaning, it so happens that Francis only goes out with certain persons. Well, who's certain you're a person? Wait, that's a pretty nasty observation. I mean, you must have heard how it was between me and June Haver before we had our big argument if she married somebody else.
