Teal for a beautiful smile, the life of Riley for laughs. Teal, T-E-E-L, teal, the amazing liquid dendafress. That's it. T-E-E-L. Teal, the amazing liquid dendafress brings you the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley.

Remember frames for beautiful smiles, it's T-E-E-L, teal, and just for laughs it's our eye, L-E-Y Riley, and the life of Riley. Master A. Riley, father of 13-year-old Junior Riley, is very proud of his son.

But Riley's pride is often deflated by his friend Jen Gillis, who is also the father of a teenage boy, Eggbert. Right now we find the two fathers admiring a special window display in Witherspoon's drugstore.

Yes, sir Riley, that there window is a masterpiece. You get the angle, Riley? It's advertising Mother's Day. Yeah, sure, I get it, Gillis. And that's a good idea they got spelling out Mother with aspirin tablets, hm?

Yeah, it's a great plug for mother. Yeah. It'll help kids remember the day. Of course, my boy Egg Boy don't need no reminder. Like some kids I could mention. I don't know. Gillis, you wasn't referring to my boy Junior, was you?

Oh, no, no, no, no. But if the shoe fits, you might as well swallow it. Now, my boy Egg Boy never forgets his duty. He's got a memory like an elephant. Yeah, and a nose to match.

Very humorous. All I know is he already got his mother a genuine imitation leather face. What's your junior getting his mother? Well, I'd better run along, right? Riley, you mean your kid ain't getting his mother nothing?

Don't you worry about my boy, he'll come through. But any said nothing about him? Well, oh, that's a bad sign. Riley, any man that don't bring up his boy to do right by his mother is a failure as a father.
