Perhaps Blue Ribbon, finest beer served anywhere, proudly presents The Life of Riley, starring William Bendix as Riley. Babs Riley is a freshman at UCLA, and this is a source of never-ending pride and pleasure to Riley Sr.
However, every now and then he is dubious about the advantages of higher education, such as the other day when Babs said, But daddy, I asked mother for $10 and she says she hasn't got it.
She hasn't got it. I just gave her my pay a couple of days ago. She says she hasn't anything left. Oh, is that what she says? Well, you tell her from me. Tell me what.
Never mind. Here's the 10. You ain't going to trap me that way. Oh, thanks, daddy. You're a dog. Yeah, just remember, when you meet some millionaire son at college and you marry him, don't forget the sacrifices your poor old father made.
Daddy, you're always harping on me marrying a millionaire. I may fall in love with a poor man. Never mind. A popular girl like you who can pick and choose, you can see to it that you're falling in love with a rich one instead of a poor one.
Don't make the same mistake I did. That was one mistake I never regretted. Oh, Daddy, you're a screamer. I'll see you later. Okay, honey. That peg was my paper. Riley, must you read the paper all evening?
Well, what else is there to do? What do you might talk to me for a change? What about? Well, can't you think of anything to say to me? Oh, sure, sure, plenty. After all, you and my wife, there's plenty to talk about.
