Transcript

The Harold Perry Show. Hehehe! Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now... Harold Perry. As Honest Harold, the homemaker. The place Melrose Springs. The time of Saturday morning in April 1951.

On this fateful morning, a great decision has just been made by one of the town's leading citizens. Honest Harold. That's right. This is the day. I'm gonna clean out our cellar. Certainly is an awful mess down there.

Let's see, I'll carry out all those old newspapers and bottles, burn all that old trash. Wonder if that old moose head will go in the incinerator. And I'll carry out all those boxes of ashes, mop the floor, wash the windows, and lug out that old washing machine.

Wow, sounds like quite a job. Maybe I'd better get little Marvin to help me. Marvin! Oh, hello, my boy. Marvin, you know what I'm gonna do this morning? What's that? I'm gonna clean out the cellar.

Oh. Ha ha. Gonna be a lot of fun rumming you around through those old magazines and things. Ha ha ha. Say, would you like to help me Marvin? Mm hmm. I said, would you like to help me Marvin?

I heard you. Oh well, I just thought today being Saturday and if you aren't doing anything... Well, it's such a nice day. Some of its kids were going out to the picnic grounds at Bear Lake.

Well, do you have to go picnicking today? I should get outdoors. You know what you always say. I'm used to growing boy. Well, you can grow in the cellar. Mushrooms do. Hi, Gee, Harold. Well, all right, Marvin.

You want to run off right away today, having a good time? Well, I'm here cleaning the cellar all by myself. It's OK with me. Go right ahead. OK, I will. Go on, Harold. What a sneaky thing to do.
