And here is your hostess, the glamorous, unpredictable, Toulula Bankhead. Well, darling, here it is 1951, 1951. It seems like only yesterday it was 1941. But of course 1941 was five years ago.

I may be a poor mathematician, but I'm going to be the youngest poor mathematician. Well, I woke up this morning, thank goodness. And I looked in the mirror and I said to myself, that morning flew the darling.

I called everybody darling darling. And I had to look talk with myself. Now I talk to myself all the time. Goodness knows, no one else doesn't think I want to listen to. So I said, now look here, Tallulah.

This is a new year. Now let's make it a good one. No tantrums, no temper, no endstuffs. And the face of the mirror said yes, darling, and no radio show. It was ended, I realized, and it wasn't the mirror at all.

I'd been looking out of my window to poster advertising all about Eve. Pardon me, Tallulah, may I interrupt this conversation you are having with yourself? Red, darling, Fett, Alan. Tallulah, I happen to be all about eavesdropping.
