It's new! It's amazing! It's Prowl! P-R-E-L-L! Procter and Gamble's new radiant cream shampoo in the handy tube! Prowl brings you the life of Riley! Well, the shampoo that removes unsightly dandruff in as little as three minutes and leaves hair radiantly clean, radiantly lovely presents the life of Riley with William Bendig's as Riley!

Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Chester A. Riley. How is their dinner guest, young Al Miller. And once again, Riley is proving that despite his few minor faults, he is a generous soul. Gas Riley believes that it's far better to give than to receive.

Al, my boy, let me give you some free advice. What's that, Mr. Riley? If I was a young man like you, engaged to be married... Oh, you and Dave, Dale, congratulations. Oh, thank you. Hey, I was following a train of thought.

Kindly don't derail my mind. Oh. Sorry, dear. Take my advice, Al. If I was a young man like you looking for a career, I'd take $50,000 and invest it in oil. That's the thing, oil. Good idea.

Sure, but where will I get the $50,000? Well, from the girl you're going to marry, of course. Joni, she works in the drug store for 22 a week. Oh, here, marry and for love. Well, hi, guy, dear.

Well, tough luck, kid. Oh. Why, Al, don't you listen to him. Listen to him. We didn't have a sense when we got married. And today, 17 years later, we're dead broke. But if we had to do it all over again, we would.

Speak for yourself, Paig. Oh, you just like to pretend you're a big cynic. Oh, there you got me. I love you, Dumplin. The thing is, if I could only get a good, steady job, but I can't make up my mind what I want to do.
