It starts with D and ends with T. That's Dressed. Procter & Gamble's Sudsing Miracle, 2000 years newer than soap. Dressed brings you the life of Riley. Dressed, D-R-E-S-C. Dressed, America's largest selling brand for washing silks, nylon, woolens, dishes, presents the life of Riley with William Bendyks as Riley.

The name of Babs Riley's boyfriend, Simon Vanderhopper, affects Chester Riley in the same way that a lighted match affects the firecracker. Riley is just her that Simon plans to drop in tonight, so the firecracker is beginning to splutter.

Thanks. Didn't I tell you that good for nothing Simon can't come in this house till he gets a job? But he's got a job. He's got novelty. Some job. I've seen those novelty. Say Gardenia is sticking to your lapel and they squirt water.

Oh, is that what he's selling? But gosh, only a morn would buy junk like that. Junior's right. Besides, that Simon is a crook. The one I bought from him don't work. That's right. You know something better comes along.

Puppy rut. Oh. Relax, Ryan. Oh, that's easy for you to say, Peg. You're not a father. Oh. Oh, Daddy, what have you got against Simon anyway? I don't trust him. He's up to no good.

He wants to marry you. Ridiculous Simon and I are nearly platonic friends. That's what I thought I was when I ran around with your mother. But she didn't want to be friends. She wanted to be married.

Oh, is that so? Well, it's okay. Okay, let Simon come here tonight, but I'm going out. Where? Over to Maxie's Biddiered Academy. Right. I've asked you a dozen times not to hang around that pool room.
