George Cooper, would you look at this room? 01:12.000 --> 01:13.000 Huh? 01:13.000 --> 01:15.000 What do you think you're doing with a Sunday paper? 01:15.000 --> 01:17.000 Oh, what does it look like? I'm reading it. 01:17.000 --> 01:24.000 But you've got it scattered all over the floor and the furniture. What are you going to do, paint the ceiling? 01:24.000 --> 01:28.000 It's a shame a man can't read the Sunday paper in peace. 01:28.000 --> 01:31.000 You mean in pieces. 01:31.000 --> 01:33.000 What's biting you? 01:33.000 --> 01:36.000 Nothing's biting me. I was just looking at this room, that's all. 01:36.000 --> 01:42.000 Paper's all over, ashes on the floor, you sitting there in your shirt sleeves with your shoes off. 01:42.000 --> 01:43.000 What's wrong with that? 01:43.000 --> 01:50.000 Oh, nothing. It's nice to have a slob around the house. 01:50.000 --> 01:54.000 I'm just being comfortable. Now, what difference does it make what the living room looks like? 01:54.000 --> 01:56.000 Nobody's going to see it but you and me. 01:56.000 --> 01:58.000 Well, somebody might come by. 01:58.000 --> 02:05.000 Oh, wouldn't it be dreadful if someone found out that our living room has been lived in? 02:05.000 --> 02:12.000 Well, I don't mind if it looks like it's been lived in. This room looks like it's been died in. 02:12.000 --> 02:16.000 Look, honey, I'm in my own house on a Sunday afternoon. 02:16.000 --> 02:22.000 Now, what am I supposed to do? Get dressed in my tux and read the paper in the hall closet? 02:22.000 --> 02:28.000 Oh, what's the use? I might as well give up and admit I'm married to a mess cat. 02:28.000 --> 02:29.000 What's a mess cat? 02:29.000 --> 02:38.000 I don't know. But if they ever look for one, you're the large economy side. 02:38.000 --> 02:41.000 Oh, no, somebody's at the door. What are we going to do? 02:41.000 --> 02:43.000 How about letting them in? 02:43.000 --> 02:47.000 The way this house looks? Quick, George, pick up the papers. 02:47.000 --> 02:48.000 Oh, okay. 02:48.000 --> 02:50.000 Oh, no, let me do that. You put on your shoes. 02:50.000 --> 02:53.000 What for? I don't have any holes in my socks. 02:53.000 --> 02:55.000 George Cooper. 02:55.000 --> 02:56.000 Okay, okay. 02:56.000 --> 02:59.000 And roll down your sleeves and put on your coat. 02:59.000 --> 03:03.000 We're going to feel awfully silly if it isn't President and Mrs. Truman. 03:03.000 --> 03:08.000 Never mind. Hand me that ashtray. Now, I guess the room doesn't look too bad. 03:08.000 --> 03:12.000 I'm coming. I'm coming. Yes? 03:12.000 --> 03:15.000 There's a good old George Thompson to live here. 03:15.000 --> 03:17.000 No, he doesn't. 03:17.000 --> 03:19.000 But this is the address. 03:19.000 --> 03:21.000 Well, you've made a mistake. Now go on. Beat it. 03:21.000 --> 03:32.000 Flirt. 03:32.000 --> 03:33.000 Hmm. 03:33.000 --> 03:37.000 Well, President and Mrs. Truman, come in, come in. 03:37.000 --> 03:38.000 Never mind. 03:38.000 --> 03:43.000 Oh, sit down. Oh, no, not at the piano. 03:43.000 --> 03:49.000 Well, put her there, President. Pardon my claws. I'm a mess cat. 03:49.000 --> 03:50.000 George. 03:50.000 --> 03:51.000 And how's Margaret? 03:51.000 --> 03:52.000 Now that's enough. 03:52.000 --> 03:54.000 Oh, can I relax now, Liz? 03:54.000 --> 03:55.000 I suppose so. 03:55.000 --> 04:01.000 Good. You know, I hate shoes. 04:01.000 --> 04:05.000 You know, if I could get away with it, I'd never wear shoes again. 04:05.000 --> 04:11.000 Well, you can always dye your feet brown and glue on some laces. 04:11.000 --> 04:13.000 That's a good idea. I might try it. 04:13.000 --> 04:17.000 What are you doing now? You're spreading the papers all over the floor again. 04:17.000 --> 04:19.000 Well, where's the sports page? 04:19.000 --> 04:22.000 Oh, honestly, George, you've got the room looking just as bad as it did before. 04:22.000 --> 04:24.000 Oh, what's the difference? 04:24.000 --> 04:30.000 George, I want to have the kind of house they take pictures of for magazines, like young homemakers. 04:30.000 --> 04:35.000 This room belongs in better homes than garbage. 04:35.000 --> 04:38.000 Oh, no. Now that's bound to be company. 04:38.000 --> 04:41.000 Oh, but where'll they sit? The Truman's have the good chairs. 04:41.000 --> 04:48.000 Oh, wait till I look out the window. Oh, it's the adobaries. Quick, put your shoes on. Get your coat. I'll pick up the papers. 04:48.000 --> 04:49.000 Now, just a minute. 04:49.000 --> 04:50.000 Hurry, George. 04:50.000 --> 04:55.000 Nothing doing. I'm not getting tidy for the adobaries. They're our best friends. 04:55.000 --> 04:57.000 But I don't want the house looking a mess. 04:57.000 --> 04:59.000 I'm not touching a thing. 04:59.000 --> 05:05.000 All right. That side of the room is yours. I don't care what you do with it. I'm cleaning up my side. 05:05.000 --> 05:06.000 That's a deal. 05:06.000 --> 05:13.000 Here. You can have these papers on your head and these magazines and this old tired coffee cup. 05:13.000 --> 05:20.000 There. Certainly glad I don't have to go through your side of the room to get to the door. 05:20.000 --> 05:21.000 Hi, Liz. 05:21.000 --> 05:22.000 Liz, girl. 05:22.000 --> 05:25.000 Hi, Iris. Hi, Miss Stadaberry. Come on in. 05:25.000 --> 05:29.000 We were just out driving and thought we'd drop in and see what you were doing. 05:29.000 --> 05:33.000 Where's George, boy? 05:33.000 --> 05:36.000 He's in his half of the living room. 05:36.000 --> 05:37.000 Meg Potton? 05:37.000 --> 05:39.000 Come on in. You'll see. 05:39.000 --> 05:40.000 Hi, folks. 05:40.000 --> 05:44.000 Hello, George. How are... Oh, my goodness. What happened? 05:44.000 --> 05:46.000 What do you mean, what happened? 05:46.000 --> 05:53.000 Well, it looks like the room tilted and all the junk slid to one side. 05:53.000 --> 05:56.000 Yeah, just look at that side of the room. 05:56.000 --> 05:58.000 I don't see anything wrong with it. 05:58.000 --> 06:00.000 Stadaboy, Mr. Stadaberry. 06:00.000 --> 06:07.000 What's going on, Liz? Half the room is neat and half is yee. 06:07.000 --> 06:16.000 Well, it's a little game George and I play called I'll take the high road and you take the low road and I'll have a junkyard for you. 06:16.000 --> 06:23.000 The clean half of the room is mine and that other half over there belongs to George, King of the Hobos. 06:23.000 --> 06:25.000 What caused the great divide? 06:25.000 --> 06:29.000 Well, George just refuses to be neat. He says he wants the room to look lived in. 06:29.000 --> 06:34.000 Oh, bully for you, boy. 06:34.000 --> 06:39.000 Oh, bully for you, boy. 06:39.000 --> 06:42.000 Go on, Rudolph. Side in with him. Yeah. 06:42.000 --> 06:46.000 Well, why not, Iris? After all, George is just relaxing in his own home. 06:46.000 --> 06:50.000 He's relaxing all right, just like you do, making a mess. 06:50.000 --> 06:54.000 Making a mess, making a mess. 06:54.000 --> 06:57.000 That all has a familiar ring to it. 06:57.000 --> 07:01.000 Mr. Stadaberry, would you care to join me in the hobo jungle? 07:01.000 --> 07:04.000 I'd consider it a privilege. Where'll I sit? 07:04.000 --> 07:11.000 Oh, just scrape around in the debris. You'll find an old orange crate or something. 07:11.000 --> 07:16.000 Make yourself comfortable, Mr. Stadaberry. Take off your shoes if you want to. 07:16.000 --> 07:21.000 No. I'll take up on that, boy. 07:21.000 --> 07:27.000 I'm talking to my tail and my trousers are getting... 07:27.000 --> 07:30.000 Drop your cigar ashes anywhere you want to. 07:30.000 --> 07:33.000 On the rug? Anyplace. 07:33.000 --> 07:38.000 Gah! This is living! 07:38.000 --> 07:41.000 Would you look at that sight, Iris? 07:41.000 --> 07:43.000 It's disgusting. 07:43.000 --> 07:50.000 Aren't we lucky? We're spending Sunday afternoon with the slobsey twins. 07:50.000 --> 08:03.000 I can't stand to look at them anymore, girl. Let's go upstairs. 08:03.000 --> 08:06.000 Katie? Yes, Mrs. Cooper? 08:06.000 --> 08:11.000 Katie, you've been married five times. Tell me, how can you break a man of being sloppy? 08:11.000 --> 08:15.000 You can't. Each of my husbands was messier than the last. 08:15.000 --> 08:19.000 Oh, you just got to face it. Women are neat and men aren't. 08:19.000 --> 08:21.000 But why does it have to be like that? 08:21.000 --> 08:30.000 I don't know. That's the difference between men and women. 08:30.000 --> 08:36.000 Anyway, I'm not talking about a man. I'm talking about George. I'm going to break him of being messy. 08:36.000 --> 08:39.000 My name isn't Mrs. George Cooper. 08:39.000 --> 08:44.000 You better do it carefully or your name might not be Mrs. George Cooper. 08:44.000 --> 08:46.000 Oh, I wouldn't push him that far. 08:46.000 --> 08:50.000 Remember, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. 08:50.000 --> 08:58.000 Well, I don't expect him to sit up and speak. But maybe I can teach him not to bury his bones in the living room. 08:58.000 --> 08:59.000 What are you going to do? 08:59.000 --> 09:05.000 Katie, it's time for drastic action. Now, my plan involves having Mother Cooper over to dinner tonight. 09:05.000 --> 09:06.000 Mr. Cooper's mother? 09:06.000 --> 09:10.000 That's right. You'll have to admit the plan is loaded with drastic. 09:10.000 --> 09:15.000 But I don't get it. What will having her to dinner accomplish? 09:15.000 --> 09:21.000 Don't you see, Katie, Mother Cooper is always looking for some reason to accuse me of being a bad housekeeper. 09:21.000 --> 09:21.000 Yes. 09:21.000 --> 09:26.000 Well, I'll leave the house just the way it is. She'll jump at the chance to blame me. 09:26.000 --> 09:30.000 Then I'll tell her it's her beloved son's idea. 09:30.000 --> 09:33.000 It might work. He usually pays attention to what she says. 09:33.000 --> 09:39.000 He always pays attention to what she says. I only know of one time he didn't and she's never forgiven him. 09:39.000 --> 09:40.000 When was that? 09:40.000 --> 09:42.000 The day we got married. 09:42.000 --> 09:52.000 Now, don't move a thing, Katie. I want the old bear to see her cub in his native habitat. 09:52.000 --> 09:54.000 Oh, she'll explode. 09:54.000 --> 10:11.000 And how? There'll be three for dinner tonight, Katie. George and me and old blockbuster Cooper. 10:11.000 --> 10:18.000 Poor Liz has her problems with George. But there are some easy ways to charm a husband's heart and save his pennies. 10:18.000 --> 10:25.000 Here's one way to do it. Yes, you guessed it, with Jell-O puddings. And here's a swell new dessert to try. 10:25.000 --> 10:30.000 Coffee Scotch Pudding, made with buttery brown sugar Jell-O butterscotch pudding. 10:30.000 --> 10:35.000 Just prepare the pudding as directed, using milk and strong coffee for the liquid. 10:35.000 --> 10:42.000 Chill, then fold in foamy whipped cream and chopped pecan nuts, and garnish with individual baked meringues. 10:42.000 --> 10:53.000 You'll find the complete recipe in leading magazines for June, and it's delectable, cause all three delicious Jell-O puddings are velvety rich and smooth as cream. 10:53.000 --> 10:59.000 Jell-O chocolate, butterscotch, and vanilla pudding. And they take only about five minutes to cook to satiny perfection. 10:59.000 --> 11:07.000 Get all three Jell-O puddings tomorrow. Find out why more women buy Jell-O puddings than any other prepared puddings in the world. 11:07.000 --> 11:11.000 That name Jell-O is a registered trademark of General Foods. 11:11.000 --> 11:17.000 J-E-L-L-O 11:17.000 --> 11:21.000 And now back to Lucille Ball in My Favorite Husband. 11:21.000 --> 11:38.000 As we return to the Coopers, the trap is all set for Liz to change George into a neat, orderly husband, with the unknowing aid of Mother Cooper, her mother-in-law. 11:38.000 --> 11:45.000 Mother Cooper will be here any minute, Katie. I threw a little extra bait into the trap. A couple of empty beer cans and stuff. 11:45.000 --> 11:49.000 Where's Mr. Cooper? I just looked into the living room and didn't see him. 11:49.000 --> 11:55.000 Oh, he's in there somewhere. If you lift the right piece of junk, you'll find him. 11:55.000 --> 11:59.000 Oh, that's her. Mother Cooper, queen of the dust catchers. 11:59.000 --> 12:06.000 Well, she won't have to test any table tops with her finger tonight. It's just as dirty as she's always hoped it would be. 12:06.000 --> 12:08.000 I'll let her in. 12:08.000 --> 12:15.000 Okay, gosh, this is a mother-in-law's dream to catch daughter-in-law with her vacuum cleaner down. 12:15.000 --> 12:17.000 It's all right, Katie. I'll get it. 12:17.000 --> 12:19.000 All right. 12:19.000 --> 12:20.000 Mother, come in. 12:20.000 --> 12:25.000 George, my little baby. How are you? 12:25.000 --> 12:28.000 Oh, fine. Liz, Mother's here. 12:28.000 --> 12:30.000 Coming. Hi, Mother Cooper. 12:30.000 --> 12:31.000 Elizabeth dear. 12:31.000 --> 12:33.000 Gee, I'm glad you could come tonight. 12:33.000 --> 12:40.000 George, you don't look well. How do you feel, baby? 12:40.000 --> 12:43.000 I'm all right. 12:43.000 --> 12:45.000 And how are you, Elizabeth? 12:45.000 --> 12:46.000 Oh, I'm... 12:46.000 --> 12:49.000 Now, George, you take care of me. 12:49.000 --> 12:52.000 Nice of you to ask. I really feel terrible. 12:52.000 --> 12:54.000 I couldn't stand it if you were sick, George. 12:54.000 --> 12:58.000 Oh, don't worry about me. I won't pull through. How are you? 12:58.000 --> 13:02.000 Well, that's good. 13:02.000 --> 13:08.000 Well? Oh, wasn't I properly concerned about your health, Elizabeth? 13:08.000 --> 13:18.000 It's just that you never look sick. You look like a horse to me. 13:18.000 --> 13:29.000 That usually goes as strong as a horse. 13:29.000 --> 13:34.000 Let's go into the other room. You didn't tell me Mother was coming over, Liz. 13:34.000 --> 13:37.000 Well, I wanted to surprise you, dear. 13:37.000 --> 13:39.000 Well, go on into the living room, Mother. 13:39.000 --> 13:41.000 Yeah, into the living room. 13:41.000 --> 13:45.000 I have to get some pipe tobacco from the den. I'll be right in. 13:45.000 --> 13:49.000 Come on, Mother. Well, here's the living room. 13:49.000 --> 13:51.000 Well? 13:51.000 --> 13:52.000 Well what? 13:52.000 --> 13:54.000 The condition of this room. 13:54.000 --> 13:57.000 Well? 13:57.000 --> 14:05.000 Elizabeth, when you had this fight, you didn't hurt George, did you? 14:05.000 --> 14:09.000 I don't know what you're talking about. This is just a nice, comfortable living room. 14:09.000 --> 14:14.000 Comfortable? Only a pig would be comfortable in this room. 14:14.000 --> 14:30.000 I can't argue with that. It's right from the old sour self. 14:30.000 --> 14:39.000 Such housekeeping. When I think of poor George and the kind of house I used to keep for him, well, I won't say a thing. 14:39.000 --> 14:40.000 Oh, go ahead. 14:40.000 --> 14:48.000 No, no, I'm no longer a mother. I'm a mother-in-law, and I'm not one to step out of line. 14:48.000 --> 14:51.000 Oh, go ahead. Why stop now? 14:51.000 --> 14:55.000 Elizabeth, when you finally prevailed upon George to marry you, I- 14:55.000 --> 14:58.000 Just a minute. I prevailed upon George. 14:58.000 --> 15:02.000 That's what I said. 15:02.000 --> 15:09.000 And when that happened, I said to myself, Letitia, Letitia, no matter what goes on in that house, you are not to open your mouth. 15:09.000 --> 15:11.000 Is that what you said to yourself? 15:11.000 --> 15:12.000 Yes. 15:12.000 --> 15:23.000 It must have been hard to hearing. 15:23.000 --> 15:30.000 You should be thankful, Elizabeth, that you have a mother-in-law who'll keep quiet about this.
