Imagine you probably heard about my playing with the Cucamonga Wildcats last year. You a ball player? I don't believe in Costello. You know nothing about ball. Oh, no. I eat baseball. I live baseball. All night when I'm asleep, I dream about baseball. Don't you ever dream about girls? What? And miss might turn up at bat?

In Paterson, New Jersey, I worked out with a baseball team. I used to stay out till 04:00 in the morning. Why did did you stay out till 04:00 in the morning? This was a girl's baseball team. Now, still, if you're gonna play with the New York Yankees, you really have to know something about big league baseball, Lou. I know all about baseball. Alright. Suppose there's a left handed pitcher pitching. What do you do? I put in a right handed batter. Now suppose there's a right handed pitcher pitching. I put in a left handed batter. But now I trick you. I take out the right handed pitcher and put in a left handed pitcher. And I double cross you. I take out my left handed batter and put in a right handed batter. Now wait a minute. Where are you getting all those right handed batter? The same place where you're getting all those left handed pitch off. Hello, bud. Hello, Louis, honey. It's, it's Marilyn Maxwell.
Hello, Marilyn. I've got great news. I'm gonna play ball with the New York Yankees. I'm taking you along as a pitcher. Oh, no. Costello. Marilyn Maxwell can't pitch. Oh, no. You should see all the guys she struck out that were trying to get the first base.

This kid has got some nice curves. Oh, I love you. Oh, Louis. You're so sweet. But I do hope you'll be careful. You know, big league baseball is a very dangerous game. Oh, what's dangerous about baseball, Maryland? Well, I read in a paper this morning that in the opening game in Boston, Five Players died on base.
[00:05:43] Unknown:
Maryland. You don't seem to know much about baseball. Let me show you how to play indoor baseball. First, I put my left arm around your waist, then I snuggle my head on your shoulder like this, then I press my cheek against your cheek. Oh, wait a minute, Costello. That's not the way to play indoor baseball. How do you like that? Every season, new rules. Well, good bye and good luck, Lewis. I just know you'll become famous for those New York Yankees. Merrill is right, god, Della. This is your chance to become famous. Now you've got a good job as a baseball player, and you might find your proper niche in life. Yes. I might. I mean, after all, if I find my what will I find? An itch. An itch. You'll find your niche.
Abbot. When I find an itch, I scratch it. No. What in the world are you talking about? An itch. I once had the seven year itch. What happened? I scratched real fast and got rid of it in three and a half years. I'm not talking about that kind of a niche. I mean, a niche in life. A niche in life is what everyone is looking for. Anyone who is successful has has found a niche. Well, if that's the case, I know an air dealer that's doing very well. I haven't noticed. Listen to me, Costello. When I say a niche, I don't mean a niche like you have when you have an itch. I mean a niche like you have when you have a notch. Oh, you don't mean an itch like an itch when you have a niche. You mean an itch like you have when you have a notch. Now you've got it. Now I've got it. I don't even know what I'm talking about. Now, Stella, why do you mash everything up like that? You're the most mixed up band I ever saw. Well, maybe it's because I fell on my mother's mix master this morning. She had a sip from mashed potatoes.
Oh. You're more mama. I know that. Idiot. All I'm trying to tell you is that a niche is a notch. Catch? Notch. Notch. Alright. Now you know that a niche is a notch. You know that both of them are the same. Yeah. I could have a notch and you could have a niche. Yes. Knit to me and notch to you. Yeah. Not mister police. I'm only trying to impress you to the importance of being a big big big ball player and having a good income. Did you ever draw a nice big fat salary? No. I never drew a fat salary, but I once sketched a skinny tomato. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No Just as I thought.

Wait till the FBI finds out about this. I'll probably draw twenty years in a clink. And they don't feed you any salary in there either. Customer.
When I say you draw money, I mean you draw like you draw money to spend it. Not not like when you draw on an easel. That's what I always say. With money, it's easel come, easel go. Everybody draws money. I draw money. I've been drawing money for years. My brother draws money. Money. He's been drawing money for years. You draw and your brother draws? Certainly. Just as I thought. You and your brother are an old pair of drawers.

Experience is the best teacher. It happened shortly after the end of the war. Two cigarettes glow in the dusk on the veranda of a country house as a man and woman are chatting. The woman remarks Robert, you've changed your cigarette brand. This is a camel. I can tell without even looking. Yes. I have changed my brand. You know how we smoked whatever cigarettes we could get during the war? Don't I? Yes. I must have tried all the brands during that shortage. That's when I found I liked Camel's best. And weren't you right? Yes. Experience is the best teacher.
During the wartime shortage, people smoked whatever cigarettes they could get. It was this experience that taught millions the differences in cigarette quality. As smokers tried cigarette after cigarette on their T zones, that's T for taste and T for for throat. It was Camel's rich full flavor and cool mildness that stood out from all the others. The result? Today, more people smoke Camel's than ever before. Experience is the best teacher. Try a Camel. And while you light up a camel, here's skinny Annis with Linda.
When I go to sleep,
[00:09:55] Unknown:
I never can sleep. Say to myself, hello, Linda.
[00:10:31] Unknown:
If only she'd smile.
[00:10:33] Unknown:
I'd stop for a while, and then I would get to know Linda. But miracles I have some mistreat. My heart skips the beat. I say to myself, hello, Linda. If only she'd smile, I'd stop her a while, and then I would get to know Linda. But miracles still. And when I let the star begin to shine

And my mother used to hit me with a tennis racket. With a tennis racket? Yes. She didn't like baseball.
Well, well, it's Billy Ellis. Hey, Costello. I heard about you taking, Joe DiVaggio's place for the New York Yankees. That's right. You know, I used to pitch for the Hollywood Stars. And boy, I'll never forget my last game. There were five men on base. Now wait a minute. Five men on base. Now that's impossible. Did you ever see the Hollywood stars play? I Kenneth, I've seen the Hollywood Stars, and I don't remember you. Oh, I've changed a lot since then. Had the biggest butt teeth you ever saw. I was the only man on the team that could slide in the second base and spike you from either end. Well, so long, Fatso. This is Come on, Skinny. Come on. Hey. You know that Skinny would make a ugly skeleton? Alright.

Certainly, there's a fellow pitching. Who do you think they'd use? A girl? Oh, I hear. I know they don't use a girl. I said fellow pitching. What fellow? Fellow with the Cleveland Indians. Look at it. There's nine guys on the Cleveland team. Now which fellow are you talking about? Fellow that pitches. There is only one fellow with Cleveland. You mean nine Yankees are gonna play against one feller? That's right. You mean there's no fellers in the outfield? No. And there's no fellers in the infield? No. Cleveland only has one feller. Well, this feller must be pretty good if if they don't he don't need any other players but himself. Look. All the players will be out there helping him. You just said there was only one fella on the team. That's right. Then where did all them other fellas come from? Oh, you idiot. When I say there's only one fella on the team, I mean there is only one fella that pitches. Well, Abbot, when the manager of the team wants this pitcher, what does he call him? Feller.
You mean he just follows, hey, feller. And this guy knows that they mean him? That's right. Woo hoo. His name is Feller. Feller. Bob Feller. And when I say there is only one feller on the team that pitches, that's it. And the feller that pitches is Feller. There's only the other fellas on the team, but there's, only one feller. Boy, are you mixed up. Oh, you mean the fella that pitches is feller. And there's other fellas on the team, but they're not fellas? Now you grasped it. Yes. I grasped it, but it keeps slipping out of my head. Okay. Let's let's go into this squatting good store and get your baseball equipment. I want you to look right for the opening game.

Well, that's bet you could slaughter anybody. You don't know, doctor. I'm talking about slaughter. Everybody knows slaughter. He knows slaughter. Well, maybe he knows slaughter, but I don't know. You idiot. Everybody knows slaughter the baseball player. Slaughter is the man's last name. What's his first name? He knows. Now there's a clever guy. He knows his first name. Forget about that. Look, listen. Do you have a baseball cap that will fit Costello's head? What size pencil sharpener does he wear? I hear.

Missus Retwash's late husband used to be a big league ball player. Now he was a home run king in other words. Now maybe she'll give you one of his bats for good luck. Let's go over to her house and ask her. Oh, okay. I'll I'll go right over now. You're right, Abbot. As John Adams said to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow how do you like that? I forgot what John Adams said to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Missus Whitwas, Costello is leaving for me off to join Joe DiMaggio's place. Take Joe's place. Isn't that wonderful? He's joining the play with the Yankees. Oh, I can't believe. Yes. What are those big Yanks on with a little jerk like this? Missus Whitwas, that was an insult. I'll have you know that beautiful women find me irresistible.
[00:20:22] Unknown:
I don't find you irresistible.
[00:20:24] Unknown:
And I don't find you beautiful. Why is Cassella? Ask her for those baseball bats her husband left her. Okay. Missus Whitwash, I understand when your husband was alive, he had a lot of old bats. That's a lie. He never went out with anybody but me. Missus Whitwas. Costello means your husband's baseball bats. Maybe he thought you might give him one of them. Yes. That's right, missus Whitwas. You see, I need a good bat. Oh, you need a good bat. I'll be glad to help you out. Can I have the bat right now? Right now.

According to a recent nationwide survey, more doctors smoke Camel than any other cigarette.
[00:23:25] Unknown:
Three leading independent research organizations asked this question of 113,597 doctors. What cigarette do you smoke, doctor? The brand name most was Camel. Now you probably enjoy rich full flavor and cool mildness in a cigarette just as much as doctors do. And that's why if you're not a Camel smoker now, try a Camel on your t zone. That's t for taste and t for throat. Your true proving ground for any cigarette. See if Camel's rich flavor of superbly blended choice tobacco is an extra delightful to to your taste. See if Camel's cool mildness isn't in harmony with your throat.
See if you too don't say Camel's suit my t zone to a t.
[00:24:16] Unknown:
Well, Costello, I'm going to New York with you. You know, Bucky Harris, the Yanks manager gave me a job as coach for as long as you're on the team. Look, Abbott. If you're the coach, you must know all the players. I certainly do. Well, you know, I mean, I never met the guys, so you'll have to tell me their names and then I'll know who's playing on the team. Oh, I'll I'll send you their names, but you know strange it may seem to give these ball players nowadays very peculiar names. Funny names. Strange names. Pet names like Dizzy Dean and Spell it Daffy Dean. Under French cousin, French. Goofy. Goofy Dean. Oh, I see. Well, let's see. We have on on the bags. We have who's on first, what's on second. I don't know who's on third. That's what I wanna find out. I say who's on first, what's on second, I don't know who's on third. Are you the manager? Yes. You're gonna be the coach too? Yes. Do you know the fellow's name? I should. Well, then who's on first? Yes. I mean the fellow's name? Who? You who's on first. That's the man's name. That's whose name. Yes. Well, go ahead and tell me. That's it. That's who. Yes. Oh, you got a first baseman. Thirdly. Who's playing first? That's right.
When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money? Every dollar of it. All I'm trying to find out is the fellow's name on first base. Who? The guy that gets the money. That's it. Who gets the money off the Who does? Every dollar. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it. Who's what? Yes. Look. All I wanna know is when you sign up the First Basement, how does he sign his name to the contract? The guy. Who? How does he sign his name? That's how he signs it. Who? Yes. Oh, I'm trying to tell you what's the guy's name on first base? No. What is on I'm not asking you who's on Second. Who's on First? 1 base at a time. Why not change the plate as well? Why not change the plate as well? Why not change the plate as well? Why not change the plate as well? Why not change the plate as well? I'm only asking you. Who's the guy on First Base? That's right. Okay. Alright. And what's the guy's name on First Base? No. What is on Second? I'm not asking you who's on Second. Who's on Third? I don't know. He's on Third. We're not talking about it.
How how did I get on Third Base? Why you mentioned his name? If I mentioned a third base's name, who did I say is playing third? No. Who's playing first? What's on first? What's on second? I don't know. He's on third. Then I go back on third. Okay. I'll you. I don't even know. Now who's playing third base? Why do you insist on putting who on third base? What am I putting on third? What is on second? You don't want who on second? Who is on first? I don't know. You got outfield? Sure. Let us feel his name. Why? I just thought I'd ask you. What I just thought I'd tell you. Now tell me who's playing that field. Who is playing first? I'm not playing on any instrument. I wanna know what's the guy's name in left field. Oh, what is on second? I'm not asking you who's that thing. Who's John Curry? I don't know. I agree.
And now let's feel the same. Why? Because. Oh, he's center field. He is. Look. You say who's that pitching? I wanna know what's the pitcher's name. Wait one second. I don't know. Today. How to catch it? Certainly. The catcher's name. Today. Today. And tomorrow's pitching. Now you've got it. All we got is a couple of days out of the way. Put it on a catcher too. No. They don't. I can be ahead of Blake, do some fancy catching. Tomorrow's pitching on my team and the heavy hitter gets up. Yes. Now the heavy hitter punched the ball. When he punched the ball, me being a good catcher, I'm gonna throw the guy out of first base so I pick up the ball and throw it to whoop. Now that's the first thing you've said right. I don't even know what I'm talking about. That's all you have to do. If you throw the ball at first base Yes. Now who's got it? Naturally.
Naturally. Naturally. Naturally. Naturally. That's stiff. That's what I said. You're not safe. I throw the ball to who? Naturally. That's stiff. That's what I said. You asked me. I throw the ball to who? Naturally. Now you ask me. You throw the ball to who? Naturally. Same as you. Who? Whoever it is drops the ball and the guy runs the second. Yes. Who picks up the ball and throws it to what? What throws it to I don't know. I don't know if throws it back to tomorrow. Triple play. Yes. I know that I get something. It's a long fly ball to be caught. Why? I don't know. He's on third, and I don't give a darn. No. I don't. I said I don't give a darn. Oh, that's our short stop.

Imagine you probably heard about my playing with the Cucamonga Wildcats last year. You a ball player? I don't believe in Costello. You know nothing about ball. Oh, no. I eat baseball. I live baseball. All night when I'm asleep, I dream about baseball. Don't you ever dream about girls? What? And miss might turn up at bat?
Yes. And another thing, Abbot, what page are you on? Never mind. What page are you on? Never mind. What page are you on? Another thing, Abbot. Not only that. In Paterson, New Jersey, I worked out with a baseball team. I used to stay out till 04:00 in the morning. Why did did you stay out till 04:00 in the morning? This was a girl's baseball team. Now, still, if you're gonna play with the New York Yankees, you really have to know something about big league baseball, Lou. I know all about baseball. Alright. Suppose there's a left handed pitcher pitching. What do you do? I put in a right handed batter. Now suppose there's a right handed pitcher pitching. I put in a left handed batter. But now I trick you. I take out the right handed pitcher and put in a left handed pitcher. And I double cross you. I take out my left handed batter and put in a right handed batter. Now wait a minute. Where are you getting all those right handed batter? The same place where you're getting all those left handed pitch off. Hello, bud. Hello, Louis, honey.

This kid has got some nice curves. Oh, I love you. Oh, Louis. You're so sweet. But I do hope you'll be careful. You know, big league baseball is a very dangerous game.

Maryland. You don't seem to know much about baseball. Let me show you how to play indoor baseball. First, I put my left arm around your waist, then I snuggle my head on your shoulder like this, then I press my cheek against your cheek. Oh, wait a minute, Costello. That's not the way to play indoor baseball. How do you like that? Every season, new rules. Well, good bye and good luck, Lewis. I just know you'll become famous for those New York Yankees. Merrill is right, god, Della. This is your chance to become famous. Now you've got a good job as a baseball player, and you might find your proper niche in life. Yes. I might. I mean, after all, if I find my what will I find? An itch. An itch. You'll find your niche.
Abbot. When I find an itch, I scratch it. No. What in the world are you talking about? An itch. I once had the seven year itch. What happened? I scratched real fast and got rid of it in three and a half years. I'm not talking about that kind of a niche. I mean, a niche in life. A niche in life is what everyone is looking for. Anyone who is successful has has found a niche. Well, if that's the case, I know an air dealer that's doing very well. I haven't noticed. Listen to me, Costello. When I say a niche, I don't mean a niche like you have when you have an itch. I mean a niche like you have when you have a notch. Oh, you don't mean an itch like an itch when you have a niche. You mean an itch like you have when you have a notch. Now you've got it. Now I've got it. I don't even know what I'm talking about. Now, Stella, why do you mash everything up like that? You're the most mixed up band I ever saw. Well, maybe it's because I fell on my mother's mix master this morning. She had a sip from mashed potatoes.
Oh. You're more mama. I know that. Idiot. All I'm trying to tell you is that a niche is a notch. Catch? Notch. Notch. Alright. Now you know that a niche is a notch. You know that both of them are the same. Yeah. I could have a notch and you could have a niche. Yes. Knit to me and notch to you. Yeah. Not mister police. I'm only trying to impress you to the importance of being a big big big ball player and having a good income. Did you ever draw a nice big fat salary? No. I never drew a fat salary, but I once sketched a skinny tomato. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No Just as I thought.

Wait till the FBI finds out about this. I'll probably draw twenty years in a clink. And they don't feed you any salary in there either. Customer.
When I say you draw money, I mean you draw like you draw money to spend it. Not not like when you draw on an easel. That's what I always say. With money, it's easel come, easel go. Everybody draws money. I draw money. I've been drawing money for years. My brother draws money. Money. He's been drawing money for years. You draw and your brother draws? Certainly. Just as I thought. You and your brother are an old pair of drawers.

Experience is the best teacher. It happened shortly after the end of the war. Two cigarettes glow in the dusk on the veranda of a country house as a man and woman are chatting. The woman remarks Robert, you've changed your cigarette brand. This is a camel. I can tell without even looking. Yes. I have changed my brand. You know how we smoked whatever cigarettes we could get during the war? Don't I? Yes. I must have tried all the brands during that shortage. That's when I found I liked Camel's best. And weren't you right? Yes. Experience is the best teacher.
During the wartime shortage, people smoked whatever cigarettes they could get. It was this experience that taught millions the differences in cigarette quality. As smokers tried cigarette after cigarette on their T zones, that's T for taste and T for for throat. It was Camel's rich full flavor and cool mildness that stood out from all the others. The result? Today, more people smoke Camel's than ever before. Experience is the best teacher. Try a Camel. And while you light up a camel, here's skinny Annis with Linda.

Well, well, it's Billy Ellis. Hey, Costello. I heard about you taking, Joe DiVaggio's place for the New York Yankees. That's right. You know, I used to pitch for the Hollywood Stars. And boy, I'll never forget my last game. There were five men on base. Now wait a minute. Five men on base. Now that's impossible. Did you ever see the Hollywood stars play? I Kenneth, I've seen the Hollywood Stars, and I don't remember you. Oh, I've changed a lot since then. Had the biggest butt teeth you ever saw. I was the only man on the team that could slide in the second base and spike you from either end. Well, so long, Fatso. This is Come on, Skinny. Come on. Hey. You know that Skinny would make a ugly skeleton? Alright.

Well, this feller must be pretty good if if they don't he don't need any other players but himself. Look. All the players will be out there helping him. You just said there was only one fella on the team. That's right. Then where did all them other fellas come from? Oh, you idiot. When I say there's only one fella on the team, I mean there is only one fella that pitches. Well, Abbot, when the manager of the team wants this pitcher, what does he call him? Feller.
You mean he just follows, hey, feller. And this guy knows that they mean him? That's right. Woo hoo. His name is Feller. Feller. Bob Feller. And when I say there is only one feller on the team that pitches, that's it. And the feller that pitches is Feller. There's only the other fellas on the team, but there's, only one feller. Boy, are you mixed up. Oh, you mean the fella that pitches is feller. And there's other fellas on the team, but they're not fellas? Now you grasped it. Yes. I grasped it, but it keeps slipping out of my head. Okay. Let's let's go into this squatting good store and get your baseball equipment. I want you to look right for the opening game.

Well, Costello, I'm going to New York with you. You know, Bucky Harris, the Yanks manager gave me a job as coach for as long as you're on the team. Look, Abbott. If you're the coach, you must know all the players. I certainly do. Well, you know, I mean, I never met the guys, so you'll have to tell me their names and then I'll know who's playing on the team. Oh, I'll I'll send you their names, but you know strange it may seem to give these ball players nowadays very peculiar names. Funny names. Strange names. Pet names like Dizzy Dean and Spell it Daffy Dean. Under French cousin, French. Goofy. Goofy Dean. Oh, I see. Well, let's see. We have on on the bags. We have who's on first, what's on second. I don't know who's on third. That's what I wanna find out. I say who's on first, what's on second, I don't know who's on third. Are you the manager? Yes. You're gonna be the coach too? Yes. Do you know the fellow's name? I should. Well, then who's on first? Yes. I mean the fellow's name? Who? You who's on first. That's the man's name. That's whose name. Yes. Well, go ahead and tell me. That's it. That's who. Yes. Oh, you got a first baseman. Thirdly. Who's playing first? That's right.
When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money? Every dollar of it. All I'm trying to find out is the fellow's name on first base. Who? The guy that gets the money. That's it. Who gets the money off the Who does? Every dollar. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it. Who's what? Yes. Look. All I wanna know is when you sign up the First Basement, how does he sign his name to the contract? The guy. Who? How does he sign his name? That's how he signs it. Who? Yes. Oh, I'm trying to tell you what's the guy's name on first base? No. What is on I'm not asking you who's on Second. Who's on First? 1 base at a time. Why not change the plate as well? Why not change the plate as well? Why not change the plate as well? Why not change the plate as well? Why not change the plate as well? I'm only asking you. Who's the guy on First Base? That's right. Okay. Alright. And what's the guy's name on First Base? No. What is on Second? I'm not asking you who's on Second. Who's on Third? I don't know. He's on Third. We're not talking about it.
How how did I get on Third Base? Why you mentioned his name? If I mentioned a third base's name, who did I say is playing third? No. Who's playing first? What's on first? What's on second? I don't know. He's on third. Then I go back on third. Okay. I'll you. I don't even know. Now who's playing third base? Why do you insist on putting who on third base? What am I putting on third? What is on second? You don't want who on second? Who is on first? I don't know. You got outfield? Sure. Let us feel his name. Why? I just thought I'd ask you. What I just thought I'd tell you. Now tell me who's playing that field. Who is playing first? I'm not playing on any instrument. I wanna know what's the guy's name in left field. Oh, what is on second? I'm not asking you who's that thing. Who's John Curry? I don't know. I agree.
And now let's feel the same. Why? Because. Oh, he's center field. He is. Look. You say who's that pitching? I wanna know what's the pitcher's name. Wait one second. I don't know. Today. How to catch it? Certainly. The catcher's name. Today. Today. And tomorrow's pitching. Now you've got it. All we got is a couple of days out of the way. Put it on a catcher too. No. They don't. I can be ahead of Blake, do some fancy catching. Tomorrow's pitching on my team and the heavy hitter gets up. Yes. Now the heavy hitter punched the ball. When he punched the ball, me being a good catcher, I'm gonna throw the guy out of first base so I pick up the ball and throw it to whoop. Now that's the first thing you've said right. I don't even know what I'm talking about. That's all you have to do. If you throw the ball at first base Yes. Now who's got it? Naturally.
Naturally. Naturally. Naturally. Naturally. That's stiff. That's what I said. You're not safe. I throw the ball to who? Naturally. That's stiff. That's what I said. You asked me. I throw the ball to who? Naturally. Now you ask me. You throw the ball to who? Naturally. Same as you. Who? Whoever it is drops the ball and the guy runs the second. Yes. Who picks up the ball and throws it to what? What throws it to I don't know. I don't know if throws it back to tomorrow. Triple play. Yes. I know that I get something. It's a long fly ball to be caught. Why? I don't know. He's on third, and I don't give a darn. No. I don't. I said I don't give a darn. Oh, that's our short stop.
