Transcript

The life of Riley starring William Bendy. Last week Chester Riley's son Junior came home with some wonderful news. During the night there had been a small fire in his school, announced to be closed one week for repairs.

So Junior and his pal Egbert Gillis decided to take advantage of the holiday by going to a Boy Scout camp near Lake Arrowhead. News of this decision soon reached the ears of their building fathers, and Riley's senior said, I absolutely forbid it. Now I don't want no arguments, Junior.

It's time you learned that there's somebody at the head of this house, and the head of this house says you can't go. And I agree with your mother. And in the house next door, Eggford Killis father said...

Eggford, I absolutely forbid it. Now there's no use best for me. Yesterday I permitted. Today I permitted. And if you ask me tomorrow, I'll forward it again. Pop teenage boys are possessed and Ben Riley senior said.

Please don't go, Junior. I'll miss you. I see so little of you. I thought this next week we could pile around together, so don't go. I'll double your allowance. I'll triple it. I'll quadruple it.

Just think Junior, 40 cents a week. Next door, Gillis said egg bite, egg bite, sweetheart. You don't want to leave your pumper? Look, if you stay, I'll buy you a nice present. Something you need.

I'll get you a brand new lawn mower. The boys were stubborn, so finally each father had to put his foot down. I don't care what your mother says. You can't go junior, and that's final. My head's made up.

It's snow, you'll spend an egg bite. I said you can't go, and nothing will make me change my mind. Goodbye,create boy. It couldn't wait for the bus to pull out, find the sons we've got.
