International famous Panch Blue Ribbon, finest beer served anywhere presents the life of Riley, starring William Bendix as Riley. Nineteen years ago today, a beautiful young girl with the name of Margaret Barker made the biggest mistake of her life.
She married Chester A. Riley. At least that's what her family told her. But Mrs. Riley seems to have enjoyed her mistake all these years, and today in fact, she's celebrating its anniversary for the 19th time.
Hurry up, will ya? It's almost 8 o'clock p.m. Well, snap it up. I don't know why every time we go out of Tacey Mother, a half a day to get dressed. Well, don't you want Mother to be pretty?
Well, she's pretty enough. She can't improve our nature. Us men, we slip on a coat and a pair of pants, and where we're flat, we let it stay flat, and where we bodes, we let it bodes.
For you women, where you bodes, you want to be flat, You want to be flat, boy. You're flat. You want to be bold. Are you coming for pizza? I'm coming. Stop yelling. Here's it. The back.
We didn't even dress yet. It's the eight o'clock. You were the one who wanted to go to the ballet. At least you can do is be ready on time. I'm ready. I'm ready. Oh, there's my purse.
Oh, now she's got to look for her purse for two hours. Daddy, why do you get so excited whenever you go out with mother? Well, it's still a novelty to it. You only take me out once a year.
It's a fine attitude. These tickets cost me $5 a piece, and you don't even appreciate it. This is a fine anniversary. Oh, I'm sorry, dear. Yer a piece. Here's the kiss. Oh. Here's the kiss.
