George Burns and Gracie Allen Substitute ( )

With Danny K still overseas entertaining the GIs in the Pacific Jack Benny Eddie Cantor Ed Gardner and Duffy's tavern and tonight George Burns and Gracie Allen Yes, it's George and Gracie with Bill Goodwin and the music of Meredith Wilson and his orchestra At the Burns home today, we find Gracie talking to her next door neighbor Meredith Wilson

So you see Meredith the sale ends today I'm just gonna get that new half and George won't give you the money not a penny I've used up my budget. I even used up my mad money. Gosh. I didn't know married women had mad money Well, I call it mad money. My husband went mad and gave me five dollars

And that's gone too, huh? Well, I sent it to my poor uncle Tim so we could get himself some glasses Oh, that was nice. Yes uncle Tim got tired of drinking out of bottles Well, I sure would like to lend you the money for the hat, Gracie, but I'm broke too.

Oh, Meredith Shae-yum. You should have some money saved up. It was two months ago that George auditioned you, and you've been on our program ever since. I know. I wonder how much longer I have to audition before he starts paying me.

Well, George is a little slow making up his mind. I remember when he auditioned me about ten years ago. I was awfully worried at first. You were? Yes, but no more. I'm sure he's gonna hire me.

I hope he hires me too. Well, I guess we both got a problem there, isn't it? Yeah. But I'm just gonna get that new fall hat. Can't you think of some way I can get the money out of George?
