The Kraft Foods Company presents Harold Perry as the Great Gilder-Slee... Uh, yeah... The Great Gilder-Slee is brought to you by the Kraft Foods Company, makers of Parquet-Marjurr!

Every day millions of women all over America serve crafts, parquet margarine, because it tastes so good. Don't be late, get it today. You'll stay whoo-rayed for crafts for gay. Parquet margarine, P-A-R-K-A-Y. It's wonderful. Now let's join the great Gilder Slayer.

It's Saturday morning. Breakfast is over at Gilder Slaves House. And Leroy, where do you think you're going? Me? Out. Not so fast, young man. If you cleaned up your room, I would like to know which parts you believe you cleaned up.

I glanced into it on my way down here to breakfast, and I can't understand how any human being could inhabit such a room. I'll straighten it up. How can you get it into such a mess?

I don't know. Well, I know. It's because you just drop everything on the floor. Take off your clothes, drop them on the floor, finish the paper, drop them on the floor, books on the floor, papers on the floor, towels on the floor.

Who's... Oh, oh, hello Ben. Hi, Mr. Gillesley. I didn't see you sitting there. Sorry, we have to go through these little domestic affairs. Oh, that's okay. We understand each other. Do we, Leeron? I guess so.

What's Ben doing here? Waiting for March. Well, get started on your room. Okay. Thanks, can I go out? Have you practiced the piano? I'll do it this afternoon. This morning, Leeroy, while we're fresh. Oh, for corn's sake. It'll be afternoon before I can play at all.

We go through this every week, my boy. I should think you learn. I'll get at it. Well, Saturday's getting to be the worst day of the whole week. Ha ha ha, boys. Well, Ben, I haven't seen you in quite a while.
