Riley's Anniversary

A life of Riley starring William Bendix as Riley. It was a rainy day in Brooklyn in April 1932 that saw the marriage of Chester A. Riley to Miss Peg Barker.

But today in California, the son is smiling as Mrs. Riley says to her two children. Married 18 years. It's hard to believe. And to the same man, that's phenomenal. especially when the man happens to be Chester A. Royley.

You think, Gaddio, remember your anniversary? No, don't take any bets on it. His memory is atrocious. Not men awful. Well, what's so awful? When a guy's married 18 years, he wants to forget it. And meanwhile, our hero on this, the 18th anniversary of his marriage, is saying, Yes, sir, do this today's one day I could never forget.

This is the 10th anniversary since I got my job at the plant. Hey, it's a long time to have the same job. Something to celebrate, all right? I went out and treated my social box to a guy.

Oh, yeah? That's the box you got there? Yeah, la la lolaitas. La la lolaitas. Yeah. I could go for one of them. They're a romance. It's such a wonderful odour. Well, you give your window up when after dinner and I'll blow some smoke your way.

La la la la. Oh, gillers. So long, my gillers. Oh, Perc! In the kitchen here! Oh, okay. That's it. Oh, hiya, don't run tight, kids. Hiya, Bob. Well, what have you got in that parcel, Ryan?

Oh, something special. Special? Yep, something special for a very special day. Are you forgetting what anniversary this is? Riley, you remember. He probably thought you'd forget. See, mother, you were wrong. Well, of course I remember it.
