Thank you.
How are you?
Welcome to our show this evening.
I think we've got a terrific one for you aside from our regulars, Harvey, Lyle and Vicki, our special, special guest stars this evening are Paul Lynde and Bing Crosby.
(audience applauding) Let's turn up the lights and talk a minute before we get started.
Is there anything--Yes?
(woman #1) You wrote an article on You Don't Have to be Beautiful to be a Movie Star or something like that?
(Carol) That's right.
(woman #1) Well, when I read that I said, "She doesn't realize it but she's beautiful."
(applauding) Have you met my Aunt Louis?
Yes?
(man #1) Out of the characters that you do which one would you say is your favorite?
(Carol) Which character is a favorite one that I do?
I really enjoy the domestic sketches that Harvey and I do the Carol and Sis.
They are more real than anything.
Zelda's fun to do 'cause she's such a stinker, you know, and I'm sure everybody has somebody that they know who's like that, who drives people crazy.
Yes?
(woman #2) Does the character Zelda ever come out in your real life?
(Carol) No.
(laughing) My husband says it does all the time.
The other night I was that.
"Can't you pull this shade down?"
Yeah, I guess it does, you know--Yes?
(man #2) If you believed in reincarnation what would you want to come back as?
If I believed in reincarnation what would I want to come back as?
Raquel Welch.
Okay, don't go away, we'll be right back.

♪ (rhythmic music) ♪ (applauding) ♪ -You coming out, Bert?
-Be right there, Molly.
(Molly) Oh, it's a nice October day for the Veterans Parade.
-Bet they'll be a lot of people.
-Always is.
(applauding) Well, how do I look, Molly?
(Molly) Think you better head for Canada.
They're liable to draft you again.
(Bert) Oh, come on, Molly, tell the truth.
I know the shoulders droop a little, the knees are a little baggy and there's lots of wrinkles.
(Molly) But the uniform covers all that up.
(Bert) A little zinger for the old soldier.
(Molly) Oh, come on I'm just kidding.
-Let's sit down.
-All righty.
Give me a little push will you, darling?
Thank you.
-Get mine started.
-Here you go.
(Molly) Woo.
(Bert) I love that rear guard action, honey.
Oh, Molly, I tell you, wearing this uniform again sure brings back memories.
♪ Mademoiselle from Armentières ♪ ♪ Parlez-vous?
♪ ♪ Mademoiselle from Arm...♪ I wonder whatever happened to her.
-Who?
-Little French girl I knew.
Toujour l'amore.
♪ Over there, over there ♪ ♪ It will soon be over, over there ♪ It's over, over here too.
(Bert) Had fun while it lasted, Molly.
This little French girl was crazy about me, just loved me in my uniform.
She was young and I was a dashing American hero.
(Molly) But you married me.
(Bert) That's what made me a hero.
I'm just joshing, Molly.
You know you're the only girl in the world for me.
That remind you of anything?
(Molly) Yankee Doodle.
-Why?
-It's been a long time since he went to town too.
(laughing) (Bert) Say what you want, Molly.
I've got my memories.
(Molly) You talk like you're the only one who's got memories.
I was a nurse in the war, you know.
And there were a lot of soldiers crazy about me.
(Bert) Well, I can believe that, Molly.
Those were desperate men at Valley Forge.
(laughing) -Hi, Molly.
-It's Henry.
Hi, Henry!
Come on over and sit down!
Is Henry gonna march in the parade with you again this year?
(Bert) Yeah, I can't stand him.
It's been 50 years but he can't let me forget he was my commanding officer.
(Henry) How are you, Molly?
(applauding) (Molly) I'm just fine, Henry, have a seat.
-In just a minute.
-What's the matter?
(Henry) I'm waiting for the private to salute a superior officer.
If I see one, I'll salute!
(Henry) That could cost you your stripe.
But I'll forget it this time.
Mind if I sit here?
(Molly) Well, I don't rightly know if that's seat taken.
(Henry) Oh, I wanted to watch the parade with a lovely, charming, beautiful girl.
(Molly) It's not taken.
You look mighty spiffy in your uniform, Henry.
(Henry) Well, I've put on a little weight, Molly.
Fits kind of tight in places.
Especially the hat.
(Henry) At ease, private.
(Molly) What time does the parade start, Henry?
(Henry) 14:00 hours.
(Bert) You don't have that many left.
(Henry) I could bust you for that, private.
(Molly) Now just stop it, you two.
The parade's going to be starting any minute -and you better get going.
-Oh, I don't know if I'm gonna make it this year, Molly.
Tell you what, private.
You have my permission to sit out the parade with me.
(Bert) That's the first sensible order you've given me in 50 years.
(Molly) No, now you two have got to be in the parade.
It just won't be the same without you.
(Henry) They'd never miss us.
Nobody cares about World War I vets anymore.
(Molly) Sure they do, listen to that beat.

(Carol) Thank you, that's--that's really interesting.
Is that your family coat of arms of something?
(Bing) Well, practically, this is the escutcheon of the Pittsburg Pirates.
You know, we won the World Series this year.
-That's right, yeah.
-Pumping it up a little there.
I'm really happy about that.
They're my favorite football team.
-Good night, Gracie.

When last we left Canoga Falls Marian was just saying goodbye to her portrait painter.
(Painter) Well, Marian, it's been a long session.
You must be tired.
(Marian) Tired but happy.
(Painter) I'm really quite pleased with what we've done today.
-Aren't you?
-Oh, yes.
(Painter) You know, Marian, I've never painted anyone -in the nude before.
-Really?
(Painter) No, usually I keep my clothes on.
Well, goodbye, Marian, same time tomorrow?
(Marian) Get some rest.
(laughing) Oh, it's so rewarding being a patron of the arts.
I wonder where the afternoon newspaper is.
Usually it's here by now.
Oh, here it comes.
(laughing) Thank you.
Oh, I just love the Canoga Falls Courier.
One page of news and nine pages of obituaries.
(gasping) Oh, no, poor, poor Martha.
Oh, I must call her husband Arthur and give him my condolences.
Aw.
Hello, Art, Marian.
Free for lunch?
Wonderful.
Oh, I'll get the doorbell.
(laughing) Why, it's Mel Torment.
Canoga Falls town masochist who's only happy when he's in pain.
-Hello, Marian.
-Hello, Mel, come in.
What can I do for you?
(Mel) First of all, close the door.
(cracking) Ow, that hurt.
Thank you.
(Marian) Mel, Mel, please sit down.
More coffee?
(Mel) Only if it's scalding hot.
(steaming) Ow, that's good coffee!
(Marian) Mel, you're getting more neurotic everyday.
(Mel) Marian, you don't know what it's like being a masochist, always looking for pain.
Desperately looking for some way to be hurt.
Buying shoes three sizes too small, having my teeth pulled whether I need it or not.
It's more than I can stand, Marian.
I'm going out of my mind with this sickness.
(Marian) Mel, control yourself.
-I can't.
-Mel, get ahold of yourself.
-I can't, I can't!
-Mel!
(Mel) Oh, bless you, Marian.
Bless you.
Could you do that one more time, only harder?
-No, Mel.
-How about more hot coffee?
(Marian) Mel, no!
No, no, I will not be apart of this sickness of yours.
You've just got to try to beat it!
(Mel) Beat, oh I just love that word!
Beat me, beat me, beat me!
(Marian) Mel, Mel, you need help.
What about your wife?
(Mel) Oh, she's no help.
I've tried everything, I've stayed out all night, drinking, gambling, carousing and never one harsh word from her.
She's an angel.
I hate her.
(Marian) Mel, when did this problem start?
(Mel) The moment I was born.
The doctor held me by my feet and slapped me.
(Marian) And you cried?
(Mel) No, I turned the other cheek.
(audience laughing) (Marian) Will that doorbell never ring?
I'll get it.
Why, it's a lovely teenage stranger in her underwear.
Come in.
(Marian's daughter) Don't you recognize me, mom?
I'm your daughter.
(Marian) Why, shirley you jest, my daughter is upstairs now taking a shower.
(Marian's daughter) Mom, I ran away from home five years ago.
(Marian) No wonder I have such a large water bill.
Well, how are you and what have you been doing?
Sorry I asked.
(Marian's daughter) I'm on the Olympic track team now, Mom.
I run the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds flat.
(Marian) That will be the day.
-Um.
-I gotta be going now.
(Marian) Who's the baby's father?
(Marian's daughter) Oh, he's the fastest man on the team.
They call him Lightning.
(Marian) Make sure he doesn't strike twice.
Now then, where were we?
Oh, yeah.
Why, Mel, I didn't know you smoked.
(Mel) I don't really.
I just take one puff and put it out!
(laughing) (Marian) Oh, Mel, you just can't go on like this.
(Mel) You're right Marian.
(Mel) You've got to get ahold of yourself!
(Mel) Oh, that's a marvelous idea!
(doorbell ringing) (Marian) I'll get it, you're busy.
Why, it's Father Sarge.
The Canago Falls policeman who became a priest.
-Come in.
-Thank you, Marian.
-What brings you here?
-Well, I wanted to thank you for coming to church last Sunday and I wanted to give you this ticket for double parking.
(Marian) But, Father, you're not a policeman any longer.
(Father Sarge) I know, but old habits, you know, are hard to break.
(Marian) Yes, I understand, I guess you just keep slipping back into the old groove.
(Father Sarge) Oh, it can be very embarrassing, Marian.
Last week, I raided my Bingo game.
-How unfortunate.
-Well, I've got to go along now.
(Marian) You know, Father, someday I hope that you will be the one who will officiate at my wedding.
(Father Sarge) I'll do the best I can.
I'll pray for the miracle.
(audience laughing) (Marian) Now back to Mel's problem.
(Mel) Marian, I need a pain fix.
-Oh-- -I've just got to suffer!
(Marian) Terrible thing to say, bite your tongue!
(Mel) Oh, yes, that's a goodie.
(laughing) Oh, I like that.
(Marian) I know what you need, Mel.
-A good kick?
-No.
-Come on!
-No!
(Mel) Come on, send me to the moon!
(Marian) No, Mel, what you need is love.
(Mel) Ugh.
(Marian) No, you do, you need the love that you were denied as a child, you need the love of a real mother.
I'll get it.
(doorbell ringing) (audience laughing) Why, it's Canoga Falls most loveable buttinsky.
-Come in, Mother Marcus.
-Hello, Marian.
(audience laughing) I'm sorry to interrupt, I didn't know you had company.
Don't worry, I wouldn't stay--Woo-hoo.
Don't worry, I wouldn't stay more than two hours, three at the most.
So aren't you gonna ask me how I am at the least?
(Marian) How are you at least, Mother Marcus?
(Mother Marcus) Don't ask.
My shoes are pinching me.
My bra is choking me and my girdle is killing me altogether.
(Mel) How'd you like to trade clothes?
(Mother Marcus) I don't believe I've met the acquaintance.
(Marian) Mother Marcus this is Mel Torment.
(Mother Marcus) How do you do, I'm sure.
So now that we're best friends, why don't you sit down, take a weight off.
Sit down, Marian, please.
Sit down, would you like a piece of fruit?
A chocolate, nothing?
So, um, what line of work are you in?
(Mel) I'm a fulltime masochist.
(Mother Marcus) From this you make a living?
(Marian) You don't understand, Mother Marcus, a masochist is someone who likes to suffer.
-You got children?
-No, I don't.
(Mother Marcus) A lot you know about suffering.
I got four sons.
A lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, and a CPA.
Four geniuses and not one knows how to use the telephone.
You understand what I'm talking...
But enough about me, have I got a girl for you.
My only daughter.
(Mel) I'm married already.
(Mother Marcus) My only daughter running around with a married man!
You got some nerve!
I'll give you what's on mine now.
(Mel) Oh, thank you, thank you.
(Mother Marcus) Thank you, you says?
(Marian) Mother Marcus, Mel is sick.
(Mother Marcus) He's sick?
Why didn't you tell me in the first place.
I have with me my first aid kit.
Some hot chicken soup.
(Mel) Oh, how hot is it?
(Mother Marcus) Don't worry, wouldn't burn yourself.
(Mel) Oh, then I don't want any.
(Mother Marcus) Try it, you'll like it.
-I don't want any!
-Don't holler at me you little pipsqueak!
Listen, you eat it, you're not too old for a spanking.
(Mel) Spanking?
You wouldn't dare.
(Mother Marcus) Oh, now couldn't I.
You come here!
I'll give you!
-More, more!
-More?
Boy is he a meshugana, I'm getting up.
(Marian) Wait!
Before you leave, there is something I have to tell all of us.
(male narrator) What is it that Marian has to say?
And what about Mel Torment?
Will he satisfy his need for punishment and whip himself into shape?
And what about Mother Marcus?
Will she be surprised when she finds out that her sons plan to send her on a long vacation to Egypt.
(laughing) And what about Marian's Olympic track star daughter?
When she crosses the finish line will she set a new record by coming in first and second?
And what about Father Sarge, the policeman turned priest.
Will he leave Canoga Falls or remain as pastor of his church Our Lady of the 12th Precinct.
(laughing) And what about Marian and her painter?
Will the passionate relationship continue?
Or will he discover she's only a still life?
For the answers to these and other unimportant questions tune in tomorrow.
As The Stomach Turns.

-Daughter.
-Father, you have lost your employment, we are indebt to the bank, the cupboard is bare, we are in constant hunger and poverty and now demon rum threatens to spoil all this happiness.
(Father) Than I shall up demon rum!
-Good, Father!
-I'll switch to demon gin.
(Daughter) Oh, Father, no, you promised dear departed mother that you would never touch that infernal poison again.
(Father) Ah, yes, I remember the vow she made me take.
I shall take this instrument of the devil -and throw it into the flames.
-Yes!
Oh, sob, sob, alas, what am I to do if those villainous bankers come to collect our debt we shall be thrown out into the bitter night.
And look!
It is beginning to snow.
And look!
It is beginning to snow.
(knocking) Hark, is that a knock I hear?
(knocking) Is it ever.
(dramatic music) It is the villainous bankers, twins, Meeny and Moe.
-I'm Meeny.
-I'm Moe.
(Meeny) We are evil persons.
(audience booing) (Moe) Boos don't bother us.
(Father) Booze don't bother me either.
(laughing) (Meeny) We've come for the money you owe us.
(Moe) You have five minutes to pay.
(Meeny) Or we'll take away your home.
(Father) More, more time, I beg of you, more time.
Will nothing melt your heart of stone.
(Meeny) No, but your breath is melting his watch.
(Father) Say, take anything we have, take it all!
-But not our happy home!
-For if you do, we shall be thrown out into the snow.
(Meeny) Very well, we'll both take your daughter's hand in marriage.
(Daughter) Marry the two of you?
But that would be bigamy.
(Meeny) Big of you?
It's big of us.
(Moe) Come my proud beauty!
-Father!
-No!
I will not give you my daughter.
(Meeny and Moe) Curses.
(Father) She is pure, innocent!
Untouched by any man.
(Daughter) Curses.
(laughing) (Meeny) If you will not give her to us then we will take her by force!
(Daughter) No, no, a thousand times no!
(Moe) You'll live in a big house with many servants.
(Daughter) No, no, a hundred times no!
(Meeny) You'll have fancy clothes and fine furs.
Fifty times no.
(Meeny) We're gaining on her.
You'll have rubies and diamonds.
(Moe) Emeralds and pearls.
Twenty times no.
(Meeny) And you'll have us.
(Daughter) You just blew it.
(screaming) (Father) Help, help, help!
(Jack Strongheart) Unhand that woman.
(audience cheering) (Daughter) And who are you pray tell?
Sergeant Jack Strongheart to their rescue.
Come into my arms, fair beauty.
(Daughter) What is this strange passion I feel?
Satan is pulling me towards his arms.
Satan is pulling me towards his lips.
If they behind me, Satan, and push!
(Jack Strongheart) Ah, sweet maiden, you're so pure.
Dast I kiss you?
(Daughter) Dast, dast!
-So!
-So!
(laughing) (Meeny) I said "So" not "Snow."
(Moe) You have not defeated us yet!
(Meeny) Come to the tavern, kind sir.
Where mayhaps we can resolve your financial woes.
(Moe) Once there we will ply him with drink and then he signs over his dilapidated house and daughter.
(chuckling) (Daughter) No, Father, please do not go.
They are leading you into temptation.
(Father) Well, they better, I'm in no condition to find it myself.
(Daughter) Alas, all is lost.
Oh, what shall I do?
I know, I think I'll faint.
(Jack Strongheart) The poor innocent maiden has fainted.
She must lie down in her bed.
The bedroom door is locked.
(Daughter) Foiled again.
Oh, Jack Strongheart, I must go at once to the tavern before those evil bankers triumph over my poor, weak father.
-Wait!
-Oh, my.
-I will go with you.
-No, nee.
I have something more urgent for you to do.
-And what's that?
-Stay here and find that key.

(Jack Strongheart) Have no fear, Sergeant Strongheart is here!
(Moe) I'll soon get rid of him with the help of the painted woman!
O.P Dubyah.
Kill.
(painted woman) Hello there handsome.
Care for something intoxicating?
(Daughter) No, Jack, tell her you belong to me.
(Jack Strongheart) I am torn between good and evil.
Shall I choose this young and innocent maiden and a lifetime of sweet matrimony?
(audience cheering) Or shall I throw away my life for one hour of mad passion?
(audience boos) -Sweetheart.
-Yes!
(Jack Strongheart) I'll be back in an hour.
(Father) Oh, it looks like you win you fiends.
-Sign the deed.
-Wait, all is lost--not lost!
I have come to a decision.
I will marry the both of you.
-Good.
-Good.
(Daughter) But first, let us toast our wedding.
Get the hooch.
Little do they-- Little do they know that when they get drunk I shall get the deed.
A toast to the bride!
(in unison) To the bride!
(Daughter) A toast to the grooms!
(in unison) To the grooms!
(Daughter) A toast to the painted lady!
(in unison) A toast to her boom-de-booms!
(Daughter) A toast to my father, the drunkard.
(in unison) The drunkard!
(Father) I'll drink to that.
(Moe) No, no--no more toasts.
(Daughter) Oh, Father, Father, I have the deed in my hand and I can rip it to tatters.
But of what avail is that to me?
You're still hooked on the sauce.
Oh, the iniquitous vessel!
