It's new! It's what you've been... Oh, P-R-E-L-L. Procter and Gamble's new radiant cream shampoo in the handy tube. Now 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 Band-Dix as Riley. Kester A. Riley and his wife, Pegg, are a normal married couple. They love and respect one another, but being human they occasionally have their little differences.
It usually takes two to make a quarrel, but in this case it takes one. Riley. Let's listen as Riley and his wife are having a little skirmish in the living room of their California bungalows.
Well, all I say is, why are you so lazy? Once in a blue moon, why can't we dress up and go out? Now, Peg, stop making up things. When did we ever go out without being dressed?
You know what I mean. I mean go out formal to a nice restaurant where we can dance. Dancing? Ain't you a little old? Old? Who's old? Me. Anyway, you know I don't like dancing. Sure.
Now you don't like dancing. But before we were married, you took me out every Saturday night to a restaurant. All you wanted to do was dance. Well, that was different. I was wintertime and it was cold there in Brooklyn.
I only danced with you to keep warm. Well, maybe you should have married a radiator. I'm getting a little fed up sitting home night after night. Well, I'd take you out, Peg. Three weeks ago, didn't I take you to Ocean Park to play bingo?
