00:36Mr. B! Breakfast!
00:41Did you remember to take a clean handkerchief, Sport?
00:44Yeah, Hazel.
00:45Yes. And clean socks and underwear?
00:47Yes, Hazel.
00:48That's a good boy.
00:50Morning, Hazel.
00:51Oh, good morning, Mr. B.
00:53Did you sleep well?
00:54Well, I tossed and turned a little.
00:56Oh, sure. Thinking about Missy, I guess, huh?
00:58Yes, I guess I was.
01:00I miss Mother, too. When will she be back?
01:03Well, Harold, you remember what her last letter said.
01:06Just as soon as Aunt Barbara's able to get around again.
01:09Somebody's got to take care of them kids, you know, Sport.
01:12Drink your juice, Mr. B.
01:14Did you remember to take a clean handkerchief?
01:16Yes, Hazel.
01:17And clean socks?
01:18Hazel, I'm not a child.
01:20I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.
01:22I did the wash yesterday.
01:24Oh, what about it?
01:26It was a full week's wash, and you only had six pairs of socks in it.
01:29Hazel, I change my socks every day.
01:31Well, in one of them days, you must have gone barefoot.
01:34In this weather, Dad?
01:36Harold, I did not go barefooted,
01:38and I did not wear the same socks for two days.
01:41Somehow, a pair must have gotten lost.
01:44Oh, yes. Things happen like that, I guess.
01:46All right, Hazel. It could have happened.
01:48Now, would you mind bringing in our breakfast?
01:50Yes, sir.
01:52They were probably stolen in the middle of the night
01:55by a gang of international sock thieves.
01:59Oh, boy, I'd like to.
02:01What, Dad?
02:03Oh, nothing, son.
02:05Well, here it is Saturday.
02:07What are your plans for the day?
02:09Oh, I'm going over to the vacant lot.
02:11We're digging a hole.
02:13Oh? For any special reason?
02:15We want to find out what's down there.
02:17Hmm. Have you found anything so far?
02:20Just dirt. It's very interesting, though.
02:22I'll bet it is.
02:24What are you going to do today?
02:26Well, son, I'm not quite sure.
02:28I know one thing. I'm getting out of this house as soon as possible.
02:31Mr. B! I even have to tell him to change his socks.
02:35Oh, for pity's sake.
02:36Oh, he's just like a lost soul, Rosie.
02:38I never felt so sorry for anybody in my life.
02:41Well, you better start thinking about yourself.
02:44Say, this is your afternoon off.
02:46Why don't we go to a movie?
02:48Oh, no. I don't think I better do that.
02:50Mr. B just mope around the house without me here, you know, to keep things peppy.
02:55Well, I wouldn't give up my afternoon off for anybody.
02:58Well, I'm doing my best to cheer him up.
03:00You know me and my terrific sense of humor.
03:02You know, it helps him a lot.
03:05I'll be right back, Rosie.
03:09There you go, Mr. B.
03:12Harold?
03:13Thanks!
03:14Mr. B, did you watch the, the, the Washington College show on television last night?
03:19What show was that?
03:20You know, the one with the funny little comedian, uh, what's his name?
03:23Hazel, I don't know what you're talking about.
03:25Oh, well, anyway, he told a terrific joke.
03:28Mr. B, do you know how to top a car?
03:32What?
03:33You know how to top a car?
03:35How to top a car? No.
03:38You tap on the brake, stupid.
03:41I can't believe it.
03:44All right, all right, Hazel, that'll be all.
03:46Boy, that was funny, wasn't it, Dad?
03:48Oh, and there was another, he told another one.
03:51It was terrific, Mr. B.
03:52Oh, fine, tell it to Harold.
03:54Oh, oh, Sport, uh, do you know what one fried egg said to the other fried egg?
03:58When the man sat down to breakfast?
04:00What?
04:01He said, want to see this man go crazy?
04:03I'm gonna wink.
04:06All right, all right, that'll be all, Hazel.
04:08Don't you get it, Mr. B?
04:10You see...
04:11Hazel, I said that'll be all.
04:13Yes, sir.
04:19You see, Dad, two fried eggs look like...
04:21Son, I know, I get it,
04:24but I'd rather not encourage Hazel in her joke telling.
04:28I'm just worried sick, Rosie.
04:30Two terrific jokes like that and he never even cracked a smile.
04:33Well, that's a lawyer for you.
04:34No sense of humor.
04:36Oh, no, you don't know Mr. B.
04:38He's got a terrific sense of humor.
04:40Wait a minute.
04:42I think I know what's bothering him.
04:44He's got this empty weekend ahead
04:46and he just don't know what to do with it.
04:48I'll be right back.
04:52Mr. B, after breakfast,
04:54what do you say if you and me go over to the driving range
04:57and knock out a couple of buckets of golf balls, huh?
04:59I don't think so, Hazel.
05:01Well, I thought maybe I could help your game, you know.
05:03You got this tendency to slice, you know.
05:06Hazel, I am not interested at all.
05:08Oh.
05:09Well, what about a little bowling?
05:11I could give you some coaching,
05:13that might bring your average up, you know.
05:15Hazel, I'm not interested in bowling either.
05:17Oh.
05:18What about an archery lesson, Mr. B?
05:20I've been wanting to take that up for a long time.
05:23Fine, then by all means take it up,
05:25but I'm not interested.
05:26Oh.
05:27Dad, do you want to go bowling with me?
05:30Dad, do you want to help me dig my hole?
05:33Thanks, son, but I don't think so.
05:37Well, Mr. B, if you think of anything you want to do,
05:40just let me know.
05:50I offer to do everything except play tiddlywinks with him.
05:54He just ain't interested.
05:56That's a lawyer for you.
05:58They've read so many books, they've forgotten how to play.
06:00Oh, not Mr. B.
06:03Hey, wait a minute.
06:04Maybe you got something.
06:06What Mr. B would probably like to do
06:08is bury himself in his work.
06:10Well, he's not like me.
06:11As far as I'm concerned, my work can just get lost.
06:14Oh, no, he ain't like you, Rosie,
06:16except for Missy and little Harold,
06:18that law office is his whole life.
06:20Excuse me.
06:23Baxter residence.
06:25Oh, hi, Mr. Williams.
06:26How are you today?
06:27Couldn't be better, Hazel.
06:29I'm hoping to get that boss of yours out for a little golf game.
06:32Oh, there ain't a chance, Mr. Williams.
06:34No, he told me he don't even want to go out to the driving range.
06:38Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
06:41I'll have to find someone else.
06:43Oh, no, no, wait a minute, Mr. Williams.
06:45He's your law partner, and he needs your help.
06:47Well, listen, I'll tell you what help he needs.
06:50He needs something to take his mind off Missy.
06:52He's so lonesome, he can't stand it anymore.
06:55Can't you bring over a contract or something for him to work on?
06:58I suppose I could, Hazel,
07:00but that would mean I'd have to give up my golf game.
07:05Well, sure, I know George would do it for me,
07:08but, Hazel, weekends are the only time I have to...
07:14Oh, all right, Hazel, I'll do it.
07:16Oh, that's terrific, Mr. Williams.
07:18But, look, if he knew you was just doing him a favor,
07:21he'd probably refuse, so pretend you need his help.
07:24Okay?
07:25Just a sec, I'll put him on.
07:28This is gonna work out just fine.
07:30Mr. B, you went...
07:32Where's your dad?
07:34Oh, he just went home, got in the car.
07:36Oh, for Pete's sake.
07:42Mr. B!
07:43Mr. B!
07:44Wait a minute!
07:46What is it, Hazel?
07:47Someone's on the phone.
07:49I think it's Mr. Williams.
07:52All right, I'm coming.
07:56Hello?
07:57Oh, hello, Harry.
07:58Hazel thought she recognized your voice.
08:00Say, George, I'm in a bit of a spot.
08:05You know that Peterson contract I've been working on?
08:08Would you do me a favor?
08:10I'd like to drop by and go over it with you.
08:13Well, Harry, that sort of contract is your specialty.
08:16Why in the world would you need me?
08:18Well, this is involved, George.
08:21Very involved.
08:23I want to make sure we don't get into any litigation.
08:26Can I count on you, buddy?
08:29Oh, thanks a lot, George.
08:32See you shortly.
08:35Doggone it.
08:37My Saturday's ruined.
08:39Oh, brother, now I'm stuck in the house for the rest of the morning.
08:44Hi, Mr. Griffin. This is Hazel.
08:47Hazel, how are you?
08:50Oh, I'm terrific. How are you?
08:52Oh, well, that's probably because you don't eat enough greens.
08:57Well, greens and lots of liquids ought to help.
09:01Say, Mr. Griffin, you know how I always told you not to bother Mr. B on weekends?
09:06Well, I haven't been bothering him lately, Hazel.
09:09Honest, I haven't.
09:11My word of honor.
09:13Yeah, I know. That's why I called.
09:15I guess you know Missy's out of town.
09:17Uh-huh.
09:18Well, Mr. B's so at loose ends with himself, he don't know which way to turn. It's pitiful.
09:23Do you happen to be forming any new corporations this weekend?
09:27Oh, that's too bad.
09:30Well, do you have any legal business that needs taken care of?
09:34Of course I have.
09:35I have a thousand and one things that need attending to.
09:38I don't know what this world is coming to, Hazel.
09:40The six-day week was good enough for my father, and it's good enough for me.
09:45I can?
09:46Yeah, but just while Missy's gone.
09:49No, you better not talk to him now.
09:51No, you see, I just arranged for him to talk to somebody else.
09:54And he's got his pride, you know, so I don't want him to know that I'm helping.
09:58All right, Hazel.
10:00I'll wait an hour, and then I'll just drop by.
10:05I'll pretend it's a casual visit.
10:08Right, Hazel?
10:10Not a word.
10:11Goodbye.
10:13Well, I must say, you certainly are going to a lot of trouble.
10:16Oh, I ain't through yet.
10:18Who are you going to call now?
10:19Oh, I ain't calling anyone.
10:21I got to arrange for your appointment with Mr. B.
10:23My appointment?
10:25I haven't got any legal problems.
10:27Well, you will have as soon as I can figure one out.
10:35Why settle for a half a workout on an ordinary treadmill
10:39when you can get a superior total body workout?
10:42Introducing the incredible new WalkFit from...
10:49Bobby, a minute, Mr. B.
10:52Yes, Hazel, what is it?
10:54Well, it's about Rosie, poor thing.
10:57It's so pitiful, it just makes you want to cry.
11:00What's the matter with her?
11:02Well, she's got this terrific legal problem
11:04and she ain't got no money to hire a lawyer.
11:07So you know what I said?
11:08Yes, Hazel, I'm afraid I do.
11:10I said she ought to go to have a little talk with the Legal Aid Society.
11:14Well, now, that was very sensible of you, Hazel.
11:17Oh, well, I didn't want to bother in a busy man like you.
11:20But do you know what she said about you, Mr. B.?
11:23What?
11:24Oh, it's such a compliment, you're going to think it's silly.
11:28No, I won't. Go ahead.
11:30Well, she said that if they gave her a whole battery of lawyers,
11:34it wouldn't be as good as one George Baxter.
11:37Well, that was very generous of her, even though she does exaggerate.
11:41She said that there's something about you that gives a person confidence.
11:45Now, that was very nice of her.
11:47And then she said, oh, you're going to think this is silly.
11:51No, I won't.
11:53Oh, yes, you will.
11:54No, I won't. Go ahead.
11:56She said that you have the brain power of an intellectual giant.
12:00Well...
12:02You see, you think it's silly.
12:04No, I don't.
12:06I mean, I think Rosie's very generous.
12:09However, I wish you'd come to me first.
12:11You see, the Legal Aid Society does excellent work, but they're a little impersonal.
12:15You mean, you're going to talk to her?
12:17Oh, yes, I...
12:18Rosie! Come on in.
12:21Hazel Burke, you flim flam me again.
12:24Well, as long as she's here, you might as well talk to her.
12:29All right, Rosie, sit down.
12:31Thank you, Mr. Baxter.
12:34Now, just what is your problem?
12:37Well, I've been working for the Bradys for seven years now.
12:41Yes, I know.
12:43And I want to sue them for a million dollars.
12:47You what?
12:49Wait till you hear the grounds.
12:51I can hardly wait.
12:53Oh, you go right on.
12:55I gotta get the door, Rosie.
13:01I want to sue them on the grounds of, uh...
13:04On the grounds of, uh...
13:07Could we wait until Hazel comes back?
13:10Why?
13:11I've forgotten what the grounds are.
13:14I think they inflamed my character.
13:17Inflamed?
13:19Rosie, did Hazel put you up to this?
13:23Well, she said that you needed something to take your mind off Mrs. Baxter's being away, and...
13:27Rosie, that's enough. This farce is over. Goodbye.
13:31Sorry, Mr. Baxter.
13:32Goodbye, Rosie.
13:34See you in a moment.
13:35Did you settle Rosie's case already?
13:37Yes, and I'll settle yours later.
13:39Oh, I hope you advise her not to sue the Bradys,
13:41because they're terrific people, Mr. B.
13:43That's all, Hazel.
13:44Oh, you want a cup of coffee?
13:46No, thanks, Hazel.
13:47That will be all, Hazel.
13:48Yes, sir.
13:49Harry, I don't mean to be jumping on you, but I thought you said you were coming right over.
13:52Oh, uh...
13:54Did I say that?
13:55Yes, you did.
13:56And incidentally, aren't those your golf clothes?
13:59Well, yes, they're very comfortable.
14:04Uh, Harry, you didn't by any chance have a little talk with Hazel, did you?
14:09Hazel who?
14:10Hazel Burke.
14:13Well, she answered the phone when I called you to look at the contract.
14:18Oh, come on now, Harry.
14:19What's this all about?
14:21You've never asked me to check an ordinary contract before in your life.
14:25Well, George, Hazel explained that with Dorothy out of town,
14:29you were at your wit's end trying to keep busy.
14:32My wit's end?
14:33I've been wanting to play golf.
14:35No kidding?
14:36Well, that's really the reason I called you.
14:40Oh, brother, am I going to have a few words to say to Hazel?
14:45And I hope you have some brownies on hand.
14:47Oh, sure, I always keep some hidden for special guests.
14:52Mr. Griffin, what are you doing here?
14:54What am I doing here?
14:55Well, you're my attorney, aren't you?
14:57Let's get to work.
14:58Hazel Burke, did you have anything to do with Mr. Griffin being here?
15:02Well, I, uh, well...
15:04Hi, Mr. Griffin, Mr. Williams.
15:06Don't interrupt, son.
15:07Go on, Hazel.
15:09I thought I might have made a phone call, Mr. B.
15:11Hazel Burke, you go out in the kitchen and stay there.
15:14You're an interfering busybody.
15:15Huh?
15:16Yes, an interfering busybody, and I'm sick and tired of it.
15:25Boy, would Mother be mad at you.
15:28You ought to be ashamed of yourself, George.
15:31She was only trying to do you a favor.
15:33She thought you were lonesome.
15:34You numbskull, Baxter.
15:36Hazel is one of the finest women who ever lived.
15:39She reminds me of my mother.
15:44I hope you're satisfied, Mr. Baxter.
15:46You made Hazel cry.
15:48Now, wait a minute.
15:49She was interfering with my life.
15:51That woman loves you, George.
15:53She's nursed you when you're sick.
15:55She's taken care of your little boy.
15:56She's not the one.
15:58Do you know what I know about him?
16:00What?
16:01He doesn't change his socks every day.
16:04Oh, for Pete's sake, George.
16:06I do, too.
16:08That's disgusting, Baxter.
16:10I do, too, change them.
16:11What in the world is going on here?
16:13What's the matter with everybody?
16:14There's nothing the matter with me.
16:16I'm going home.
16:17I'm going to play golf.
16:20Well, now, where are you going?
16:21I'm going into your den.
16:23Let's get to work.
16:30Son, I...
16:32I guess I spoke too hastily.
16:35You're going to apologize to her?
16:38No, Harold.
16:40Hazel interfered, and she shouldn't have.
16:47Hazel?
16:52Are you all right?
16:54Yes, I'm all right.
16:55I just don't...
16:56I just don't want to be talking for a little while.
16:59All right.
17:01I'll see you later.
17:05You know something?
17:07You haven't been on my lap in a long time, have you?
17:10You say it ruins your crease.
17:12Well, tonight it doesn't matter.
17:16Come on up here.
17:20I want to talk to you.
17:22Now, you and your mother and Hazel and I are a family.
17:27We love each other very much.
17:30Oh, we have our arguments at times, but they don't last.
17:34Well, I'll bet when Hazel comes in here to call us for dinner,
17:37she'll be her old, smiling self again.
17:40Oh, then you apologized?
17:43Well, no, Harold.
17:44You see, I still feel that Hazel was interfering
17:48in something that was none of her business.
17:51But I've forgiven her.
17:53Now, you watch and see.
17:54Everything's going to be just fine.
17:56Sport?
17:57Mr. Baxter?
17:58Mr. Baxter?
17:59I'm just going to put dinner on the table.
18:01Thank you, Hazel.
18:04Come on, son. Let's not keep her waiting.
18:07She called you Mr. Baxter.
18:09I never heard her do that before.
18:12Well, son, you see, that's Hazel's way of kidding.
18:22Now, look, Harold.
18:24Tonight, let's laugh at every joke she tells,
18:26no matter how corny or familiar it may seem.
18:29I always laugh.
18:30Remember the one this morning?
18:32You kept on your break, too, bud?
18:34Yes, I remember.
18:35That was funny.
18:40There you are, Sport.
18:41Lamb chops, just the way you like them.
18:43And hot biscuits coming right up.
18:45Slam!
18:46Meal fit for a king, Hazel.
18:48I beg your pardon, Mr. Baxter?
18:50I said a meal fit for a king.
18:52Oh. You want some honey with your biscuits, Sport?
18:54Please, Hazel.
18:55Coming right up.
18:56Maybe she isn't going to tell any jokes tonight.
18:59Well, she's just a little slow in getting started.
19:02Well, I'll tell her one when she comes in.
19:05That's a good idea. You do that, son.
19:10Biscuit, Mr. Baxter?
19:12Oh, thank you, Hazel.
19:14Harold?
19:15Thanks, Hazel.
19:16Hazel, did you hear the joke about the elephant trainer and the elephant who took a trip together?
19:21The trainer sent his trunk ahead and carried his suitcase,
19:24but the elephant sent his suitcase ahead and carried his trunk.
19:34I heard an amusing story the other day.
19:36There was a customer in a restaurant complaining to the waiter.
19:39He said, waiter, you brought my steak, but you didn't bring a knife.
19:43And the waiter said, stop complaining. It's too tough to cut anyway.
19:48Did he get his money back?
19:50Well, I don't know, son. It's just a joke.
19:55Don't you got it, Hazel?
19:56Oh, yeah. Terrific.
19:58Clean up your plates, Sport.
20:00We're going to have chocolate cake for dessert.
20:02I want a big piece, Hazel.
20:05She's too mad, isn't she?
20:08Yes, I'm afraid she is, son.
20:10Your piece of cake will probably be so small, you won't even be able to find it.
20:15You won't even be able to find it.
20:22There you go, Sport.
20:30Is it real?
20:34Yes, son, it is.
20:35Well, then Hazel must not be mad anymore.
20:39Oh, yes, she is, son.
20:41That woman has a diabolical mind.
20:43She knows how much I love cake, and she deliberately gave me a big piece.
20:47But you asked for a big piece.
20:49Well, of course I did.
20:50I always ask for a big piece, and I always get a sliver.
20:54This is that woman's way of getting revenge.
20:56Son, she's trying to turn me into a fat man.
21:02Hazel, I'd like to have a few words with you.
21:05Yes, Mr. Baxter?
21:07And stop calling me Mr. Baxter.
21:09Yes, sir.
21:10Now, look at that piece of cake.
21:12This is just revenge because...
21:15Well, because I got a little excited and used a few strong words I shouldn't have.
21:19Now, isn't it?
21:20Yes, sir.
21:21Are you apologizing?
21:24You were interfering.
21:25Well, yes, I guess I was, in a way.
21:29Are you apologizing?
21:31I will, if you will.
21:34It's a deal.
21:35Shake.
21:36I apologize.
21:38Oh, Mr. B, you better give me that piece of cake.
21:41No, wait a minute. I asked for a big piece.
21:43Yes, I know, and when you got it, you were scared to death.
21:46You go in and sit down, and I'll bring you a sliver.
21:51All right, Hazel, you win.
21:53And Mr. B, don't forget, when you get dressed tomorrow morning, clean socks.
22:07All right.
