Transcript

The craft fools company presents Harold Perry as the great Gilderslee. The great Gilderslee is brought to you by the craft foods company makers of parkay margarine. Every day millions of women all over America serve parkay margarine because it tastes so good.

To market, to market, to get some barchets, home again home again try it to date. Do you like it? You love it like millions are saved. Have they for it, Marjorie? P-A-R-K-A-Y, Par-K, Marjorie, and made by Krat.

It's after dinner at the Great Gilder's Leaves house, and the evening paper has been parceled out to the family. Leroy has a sports section, Marjorie has the fashion news, and the great man has the financial section, which carries the crossword puzzle on the back.

Marjorie? Yes, Anki? What's an eight-letter word for an African ant eater? That's Ardbark. Ardbark? What's that? An African ant eater. Mmm. Yeah, they eat ants. I know it, Leroy. How do you spell it, Marjorie?

Uh, A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K. Huh, that's the way I had it. Crazy. Oh boy! Hey, El Grusco Fish and a Grass Lake tomorrow. What? Look, here on the paper, the big fish that was caught on 90-pound swordfish.

Swordfish. Swordfish and grasslake? Let me see that. Leroy, this wasn't caught in grasslake. It was caught in Florida. Sure, but it shows they're biting. Mmm. Let's go out of fun. Six o'clock. Mr. Banks took big fish in last Saturday.

How many swordfish do they catch? We didn't catch anything, but they weren't fishin'. Why don't you take Leroy fishing on Keith? Now, Marjorie, a fish hasn't been caught in grasslake in three years. Besides, Leroy has to practice his piano tomorrow morning.
