Because he's got no teeth in his brittle. You know, there was a lot of excitement in that store, Cassella. What happened? Well, Annie Clark, he kept running up and down the stairs. You should've seen him up and down the stairs. Why? Well, he had to. His beard was caught in the escalator. Bad. Did you buy anything besides the peanut brittle? Yes.

That's not a girl's basketball player. You saw a bubble dance. I thought it was funny to never drop that ball. I she's crying, Carcella. Now that's enough from you. Give my friend here a chance at the microphone. PDQ gasoline is so full of power, mileage, and the spirit of Christmas that PDU dealers had a pretty swell gift to make your Christmas more fun than a cleansing. Three Christmas stickers. You know how to dial up those pretty packages you wrapped. Beautifully, colorfully printed. Some of them just dripping sentiment. Others quick as an offhand gag.

Get yours before they're gone. Get them p q. Are you ready, mister Vanda? Then arm with the Abbott and Costello show.
Come on, Costello. I'm back. Take those bicycle clips off your trousers. Did you ride your bicycle to the studio again today? Yes. It's very dangerous. Oh, it ain't as dangerous as being a pedestrian. It's getting so bad that even us voice cops can't help old ladies across the street anymore. But we figured out of the system. What do you do? We round up all the old ladies among corners, then we sent for Tom Brennaman. I got sellers don't make fun of Tom Brennaman. He's got quite an influence on the lady. You're telling me? My aunt and me have gotten to so many of his broadcast, you won't let my uncle Mike come to the breakfast table unless he's wearing a woman's backpack. Mike still plays the he washed up with Mike Jones' band.
That's case number. Mike Jones had to get rid of him. Why? The test went to a test. He pulled his watch up and bought a fender. Alright? What is your uncle Mike doing now? Well, he drives in the Midget Auto Races. Is, Mike a fast driver? Abbott. I drove down the highway with him chunky. We were going so fast, the Burma gave signs were lathering up doctor Pepper. Sir, uncle Mike, your uncle Mike is wackier than you are. I can't understand how your aunt made married him. Happens to say they got married, uncle Mike was drugged. Your aunt may drugged him? Yeah. She drugged him all the way to the church and then drugged him right up to the altar. It was a beautiful wedding. They had a double ringed turmoil. A double ringed thermal? Yeah. My uncle Mike slipped the thing on her finger, and my aunt may slip once to his nose.
Right after the wedding, uncle Mike put his foot down. He said, Mae, the one that wears the pants in this family will handle the money. Well, how does it work out? You know, my aunt may look mighty nice and black
[00:05:20] Unknown:

Your uncle Mike and aunt may are quite a couple. Have they got any children, Lou? But sure. Last year, they had triplets. Triplets? Boys or girls. Well, one was a boy and one was a girl, but they never found out what the person was. When I was three days old, it blew away. How long have it? I'm going up to the hospital to visit my uncle Mike. Mike? Mike in is in the hospital? Mhmm. Why only last night I saw him zero with a blonde. So did my aunt May. I brother, did she hit him? I don't blame her. She hit him with provocation. Yes. She hit him with what was that? She hit him with provocation. She did not. She hit him with a chair. No. No.
I'm talking about provocation. Provocation made her hit him with a chair. Provocation may have made her hit him with a chair, but fighting a zero was her own idea. Why do they always fight? Why why can't they be like me and my wife? We deal with arguments coming along like globs in the yard and cool off. Yes. You haven't been in the house in twenty years. That's right. Now I found out how you get that 10. Never mind that. That's not true, Costello. My wife and I are very happy. Oz is a real

Yes. You're a wrecking piece. Look like a toothbrush. Not I would say you're really cute, Mary. You. You don't even know what a husband is. A husband is what's left of a sweetheart after the nerve has been killed. I am. You know what? You know what's the matter with you? You're afraid to get married. I am not. Alright. What would you do if a beautiful blonde came along and proposed to you? I'd get a marriage license to marry you. Suppose a beautiful redhead came along and proposed to you? I'd get a marriage license to marry you. And if a beautiful brumette came along, I'd get a marriage license to marry you. Wait a minute. Where are you getting all those marriage licenses? The same place you're getting all the girls. Hi. Tell me you never tried to get married. I did too. I once spoke to the Lonely Hearts Club. I said I wanted to marry somebody with hair like mine, and I enclosed the lock of my hair and what happened. I got letters from two cocker spaniels.
Then please look. How is your romance coming with mister Miller? I think she wants to see me in a baby. What makes you sad? Every time I ask her to go out with me, she tells me

I'm just as big an ignoramus as you are. The one that Susan will go out with you. You've never offered to do anything for her. Susan, let me take you home tonight. I'll help you solve all your problems. But I haven't got any problem. I haven't taken you home yet. Oh, goodbye. I don't blame Susan Miller for turning you down every night in the week. You're off with a different girl. You long have it? I only go out with six girls. Six girls. I take Sunday off. Monday, I go with Mabel. Tuesday, I go with Rose. Wednesday, I go with Amy. Thursday, I go with Ruth. Friday, I go with Betty. Saturday, I go with Clarence. And Sunday, I take off. Hello, mister Costello. There goes my Sunday off.
Costello, if you put your money in the bank, you wouldn't be able to rob a girl. Now I'm taking you to the bank right now, and you're going to open a savings account with that $10.
[00:09:34] Unknown:
Now let's go in.
[00:09:35] Unknown:
Just banking on it. Look at that sign. Asset, $4,000,000. Oh, how does that make that make them dishonest move? My mother put $7 in that bank yesterday. Why didn't they change that sign? That's evidence of a fine bank. That man coming this way, he's the president. That looking guy is the president, certainly. What happened to Truman? Then Republicans have probably got him standing in for any future. Oh, right, Castello. Here he is. Well, well, mister Abbott, hey. Who dragged this oversized piggy bank in here? Oh, pardon me. That's Costello. That Costello wants to put some money in the bank. Fine. Fine. Now where would you like to put it, Costello? Taking account, savings account for the bull? Can I have that last thing again? Bull. Bull. Surely, you know about our bull. Well, I don't fault very well, but if you wanna dance, let's get him.
Thank you, Melonette. Castello wants to open a savings account. Fine. In that case, we'll have to fill out a new deposited part. Here we are. Now first your name. Lou Costello.
[00:10:37] Unknown:
How do you spell Costello? I don't see I'll see what? See what? You just put down Joan. Alright.
[00:10:47] Unknown:
Now how do you spell Joan? Let Joan worry about that. My name is Costello. Now look look. We have to have your name. It's the rules of the same. Now in case something goes wrong, the money goes to your next of kin. Now tell me your name so I can tell your mother. My mother knows my name. Alright. How much money have you got to deposit? I got $10.01 dollar bill. Okay. Hand it over here and I'll count it. Let me see. 12345678.

There's only $4 here. Wait a minute. Let me count it. It won't last. I'm not at risk. Look. I wanna deposit $10. Now I only got 4. That's alright. You can put up security for the other $6. Now about security, do you have a car or jewelry, or does anyone in your house have a fur coat? Only my air tail, but I don't think it's your sign. Well, in that case, I'll accept the $4. Congratulations. You are now one of our depositors. Now when you walk into the bank of cellos, you can put up a big front. How do I do that? In your case, walk in backwards.
[00:12:11] Unknown:
Mister Ronald, we're now on the road to success. Remember,
[00:12:14] Unknown:
to become rich, you must save your money. You've got to be thrifty. Thrifty. You've got to be economical. Economical? Artemonious. Artemonious? You don't know the meaning of failure. I don't know the meaning of parsimonious. Just give me my money, melon. But you came in here as one of our depositors, Cicello. If you take your money back, you will go out of here as one of our withdrawers. I'll go out like what? Withdrawers. Withdrawers. I hope so. I came in here when I'm It's okay. Gotcha. Don't withdraw your money. Remember, you're putting it in the bank so you won't spend it on girl. Girl, joker, tell her you squander your money on girl, do you? How long has this been going on? When did you start going with girl?
As soon as I found out that I wasn't one. Enough of this nonsense, Gastel. Your money's saved here, and Bank of Melon Head is going to handle your financial affairs. I certainly will handle your financial affairs. Costello, here's how I'll do it. First, I will calculate your fiscal remuneration. Next, I will deflate your budget by taking a terrific slice out of your monetary millennium. After that, I'll compound your debenture, flip your coupons, and then I will set your capitalized assets until your amortization covers your inflated fiduciary encumbrances.
You wouldn't dare. Well, Castello, now that you've got a bank account, why don't you ask the president of the network for a for a raise? I asked him for a raise our first week and he said, don't worry. We'll take care of you. Just play ballroom. I asked him again the second week. What did he say? Just play ball with it. Then I asked him again the third week. What did he say then? Just play ball with it. Well, are you gonna get the raise? No. But I'm getting to be a heck of a ball player. I well, if you do get the raise and save the money, you'll wind up with a bankroll. With the money they're paying me, I'll be looking if I went up with a pussyroll. But I made a smart investment of it. I just bought forty thousand nineteen forty six calendars for $3, like, you dummy. Nineteen forty six calendars are worthless.
$19.46 is gone. Yeah. But if it ever comes back, brother, will I be rich? I'm not sure why you figured with all the money you had in that bank. Well, no. I really got another hundred dollars, but don't worry. It's in the safest place in the world. Where is that? Susan Miller's stocking? That's a safe place? Sure. I can always keep my eye on it, but I can't get my hands on it. She keeps it right over her knee. It's a joint account. But But I'm gonna ask Susan to get it back to me. Why? You keep me wearing the new long shirts that don't draw no interest. I you keep your money in the bank. No Christmas shopping. You You understand? I get my coffee yesterday at it. When them stores crowded, you get pushed around. Switched around?
Wow. I bought a gift at the May company, and I had to get it wrapped at first. I got my change at Nancy's department store. I left right away a magazine, found out I had the wrong package, and the only place I could exchange it was East In Columbia for Broadway at night. I have been spending money on girls again. I told you have a day tonight with that, redhead from Glendale. I don't go there no more, Adam. Every time we park in my car, she tried to start to fly The car? Then I have taken out a new girl. She thinks I'm a great football player. Darcella, why do you always try to deceive the girl? You'll never get away with it. Bluffing people that you can play football. Why not? Stanford University has been doing it all season. But, sir, I'm gonna take you to a psychiatrist and see if we can cure you from continually pretending to be something you're not. My uncle Mike went to one of them guys. My uncle Mike, he used to think he was a saint for our dog. Is he cured? No. But he's much better. Now he thinks he's only a pink and eat. Alright.
Yeah. But you ain't taking me no to no psychiatrist.

Now look at Abbott. I'm getting out of here. Now look at that guy. He's got a big lump on his head. Oh, you've noticed a lump on my head. I got it last night playing piggyback with my three year old me. Playing piggyback with your three year old me? Yes. I fell off her back. Oh. That's nothing. I once had my nose broken in three places. Well, What did you do about it? I'm staying out of those three places.
Ocetto? Acella, you remind me of a patient of mine, a traffic cop, gives everybody tickets, gives tickets for no reason at all. Well, wouldn't he be considered crazy? Not in California, he wouldn't. And last night, he gave his wife a ticket at the dinner table just for parking the butter too near the kitchen. He was right. She was in a red zone. You know, some schooling yes, indeedy. Some schooling cops gave me a ticket this morning just because I stuck something in the back of another guy's car. What was it? The front of my car. We're getting no place to you could say that again. Yes. I'm I'm saying it. Can you cure Costello of going out with girls? I think so. I'll give him something that'll make him too tired to go out with girls.
[00:18:00] Unknown:
Here, walk over to this drugstore and get this prescription paid. Joe's Drug Store, Dayton, Ohio.
[00:18:08] Unknown:
Will, will the medicine make you too tired if I were to? Oh, the medicine's no good, but that walk ought to knock you out. But, Pastor, Costello's trouble is that he has these girls such a terrific line that they all fall for. Well, in that case, I'll have to close his mind. Now, Costello, lay down on that rubber life raft. I'm having my car three up on. That's right. Now tell me, just what do you say to these girls? Well, every Monday night, I call on seventy ten points. I go to her.
