WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.000 Music 00:06.000 --> 00:11.000 Peel, the amazing liquid dentiflous, brings you the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley. 00:11.000 --> 00:16.000 Applause 00:16.000 --> 00:24.000 Remember friends, for beautiful smiles it's P-E-E-L Peel and just for laughs it's R-I-L-E-Y Riley and the life of Riley. 00:24.000 --> 00:29.000 Music 00:29.000 --> 00:38.000 If you're meeting Chester A. Riley tonight for the first time, be prepared for a happy man who goes out of his way to change that condition. 00:38.000 --> 00:43.000 It's lunchtime at the California Aircraft Plant where Riley is employed as a riveter. 00:43.000 --> 00:48.000 He usually spends this hour chatting with his co-worker and friendly rival Jim Gillis. 00:48.000 --> 00:51.000 Today however, Gillis is strangely silent. 00:51.000 --> 00:53.000 Hey Gillis. 00:53.000 --> 00:54.000 Yeah, yeah? 00:54.000 --> 00:56.000 What's that you got there? 00:56.000 --> 01:01.000 Oh, this Riley is something to which a type like you never comes in contact with. 01:01.000 --> 01:04.000 It's a book. 01:04.000 --> 01:06.000 And I'm reading it. 01:06.000 --> 01:15.000 Ha, don't kid me Gillis, you ain't reading. I've watched you for the last five minutes, you ain't even moved a lip. 01:15.000 --> 01:16.000 What's that book about? 01:16.000 --> 01:20.000 It's about how to run a big factory. I'm taking that examination next week. 01:20.000 --> 01:21.000 What examination? 01:21.000 --> 01:24.000 Oh, the big boss Stevenson's trying out a new system. 01:24.000 --> 01:29.000 When a better job opens up, they ain't going to just promote a guy at ransom. 01:29.000 --> 01:35.000 See, everybody who wants takes the exam and the winner gets the job and a raise. 01:35.000 --> 01:39.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard about that. Waste of time. 01:39.000 --> 01:45.000 That's the trouble with you Riley. You don't look ahead. You don't try to improve yourself financially. 01:45.000 --> 01:51.000 Oh, financially I'm sitting pretty. I'm only three months behind with my rent. 01:51.000 --> 01:53.000 I'm satisfied with what I got here. 01:53.000 --> 01:57.000 You're satisfied, but is your family satisfied with what they got? 01:57.000 --> 02:01.000 You bet they're satisfied with me. 02:01.000 --> 02:09.000 My wife Peg and Nathan married 17 years. We had two kids and she ain't said one word about annulling the marriage. 02:09.000 --> 02:15.000 You know Riley, I made the same mistake you're making. I thought my family respected me too. 02:15.000 --> 02:22.000 And then one day I heard a lecture on self-analysis. The professor said, go look at yourself. 02:22.000 --> 02:25.000 So I went and took a look at myself. 02:25.000 --> 02:28.000 Sickening, wasn't it? 02:28.000 --> 02:35.000 Very humorous. Believe me, it woke me up. I began to notice the little things. 02:35.000 --> 02:36.000 What little things? 02:36.000 --> 02:41.000 Oh, little cracks my family was making. Little dicks. You hardly noticed them dicks. 02:41.000 --> 02:47.000 Keep your ears open Riley and you'll find out why your family don't respect you. 02:47.000 --> 02:52.000 I know now why they don't respect me. I mean, they do respect me. 02:52.000 --> 02:56.000 Go ahead Gillis, study. If you want to be a fig shark, that's no skin off my nose. 02:56.000 --> 03:01.000 A little skin off of your nose wouldn't hurt. 03:01.000 --> 03:05.000 At least I got my nose trained. It keeps out of other people's business. 03:05.000 --> 03:10.000 All I said was listen to see if they make them little dicks, that's all. 03:10.000 --> 03:17.000 I will not listen, Gillis. You're always trying to worry me. Always putting ideas into my head. 03:17.000 --> 03:21.000 And I don't like it. There's no room in my head for ideas. 03:31.000 --> 03:34.000 Oh, Babs, get your father's slippers. I see him coming up the wall. 03:34.000 --> 03:35.000 Right away, mother. 03:35.000 --> 03:40.000 My the poor darling. He looks so tired. 03:40.000 --> 03:43.000 Yeah, poor Pop works like a horse. 03:43.000 --> 03:48.000 Yes, and Junior, don't you and Babs ever forget he does it for us. 03:48.000 --> 03:55.000 Oh, I know mom. But soon as I'm old enough, I'm getting a swell job. Then Pop can be a loafer. 03:55.000 --> 03:58.000 Junior, the word is retire. 03:58.000 --> 04:02.000 Hmm, well that's what I meant. A retired loafer. 04:02.000 --> 04:07.000 Oh, I better fold up the paper. Pop likes it nice and neat. 04:07.000 --> 04:08.000 Peg, I'm home. 04:08.000 --> 04:09.000 Oh, we're in here, dear. 04:09.000 --> 04:10.000 Oh, hello, Duncan. 04:10.000 --> 04:11.000 Hello, Riley. 04:11.000 --> 04:12.000 Hi, Junior. 04:12.000 --> 04:15.000 Hi, Pop. Hey, your shoelace is untied. 04:15.000 --> 04:16.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, I know. 04:16.000 --> 04:22.000 Nice, and you got some new ones, dear. Oh, those are full of knots. 04:22.000 --> 04:26.000 Peg, is that a dig at the way I look? 04:26.000 --> 04:30.000 Hmm? Dig? Well, what do you mean, Roddy? 04:30.000 --> 04:38.000 Just remember, Peg, it ain't a man's feet that count. It's what goes on at his other end. 04:38.000 --> 04:42.000 Here, here, let me tie it for you, Pop, so you won't have to bend. 04:42.000 --> 04:50.000 What's the matter? You think I'm getting old? I can tie my own shoelaces. 04:50.000 --> 04:53.000 There. See? 04:53.000 --> 04:58.000 My, you look funny when your hair falls all over your eyes like that. 04:58.000 --> 05:04.000 Oh, so now I look funny? Ugly, maybe. 05:04.000 --> 05:07.000 Well, for heaven's sake, Riley, don't be so touchy. 05:07.000 --> 05:11.000 Oh, now I'm touchy. Nothing but digs. 05:11.000 --> 05:15.000 Oh, mother, dear, the... Oh, oh, hello, Daddy. I didn't see you at first. 05:15.000 --> 05:23.000 You didn't see me? I'm sitting right here out in the open. Now I got no personality. 05:23.000 --> 05:24.000 What, Daddy? 05:24.000 --> 05:31.000 Don't let it pass. Only when your father comes in the house, Dad, it ain't very nice to act like somebody just went out. 05:31.000 --> 05:39.000 Oh, Daddy, you're silly. Here's a big kiss for you. My, you need a shave. 05:39.000 --> 05:45.000 Well, now I'm a big flop. 05:45.000 --> 05:49.000 Peg, the least your children can do is show a little respect for their father. 05:49.000 --> 05:54.000 Well, what's gotten into you? Stop acting like an elephant with a sore ear. 05:54.000 --> 05:59.000 Now I got elephant ears. More little digs. 05:59.000 --> 06:01.000 What are you talking about anyway? 06:01.000 --> 06:11.000 Okay, okay, I can take a hint. I ain't neat. I'm old. I'm touchy. I'm ugly. I got no personality. And I got ears like an elephant. 06:11.000 --> 06:14.000 Well, why don't you say it? Go ahead, say it. 06:14.000 --> 06:16.000 Say what, Daddy? 06:16.000 --> 06:34.000 What you've been thinking? If I hadn't married your mother and we didn't have you two kids, you'd never have even let me into this family. 06:34.000 --> 06:40.000 Ears like an elephant. I'll remember that. An elephant never forgets. 06:40.000 --> 06:43.000 Riley, oh Riley. 06:43.000 --> 06:45.000 Huh? Who's that? 06:45.000 --> 06:49.000 It's me, Riley. Your conscience. 06:49.000 --> 06:53.000 Oh, well beat it, conscience. 06:53.000 --> 06:58.000 You're always pestering me. It's like last March when I was filling out my income tax. 06:58.000 --> 07:08.000 Yes, I had quite a battle convincing you that you can't list a slot machine as a dependent. 07:08.000 --> 07:11.000 Get away from me. I've got enough trouble. 07:11.000 --> 07:18.000 I know, Riley. You're worried that maybe Gillis was right about your family. They don't respect you. 07:18.000 --> 07:20.000 After all I've done for them. 07:20.000 --> 07:22.000 Just what did you ever do for them? 07:22.000 --> 07:28.000 I give them anything they want. Only yesterday, Junior asked me for a dime and I gave it to him. 07:28.000 --> 07:39.000 Yes, but you made him give you two nickels for it. And last week when your poor wife wanted a new hat, she didn't get it. 07:39.000 --> 07:41.000 Oh, I was broke. 07:41.000 --> 07:42.000 That's what you say. 07:42.000 --> 07:50.000 Honest I was. From the bottom of my feet to the top of my head, I was flat. 07:50.000 --> 07:54.000 Then why don't you do something about it? Get a better job. 07:54.000 --> 07:55.000 How can I? 07:55.000 --> 08:03.000 Go back to night school and study for the exam. Unless you'd rather have your family ashamed of you. 08:03.000 --> 08:09.000 Oh, I couldn't stand that. I'll go back. I'll study. I'll pass that exam. 08:09.000 --> 08:10.000 That's the spirit, Riley. 08:10.000 --> 08:18.000 I'll be a big success someday. I'll prove that my wife wasn't throwing away her money when she spent her last two bucks for our marriage license. 08:18.000 --> 08:32.000 Say, Pop, it's time for night school. You don't want to be late the first time. 08:32.000 --> 08:40.000 Oh, no, that's right, Junior. I've got to go. I don't want to get in the wrong with my teacher, Miss Jessup. She's taking charge of the exam at the plant. 08:40.000 --> 08:41.000 Oh, how come? 08:41.000 --> 08:44.000 Well, the boss wanted a real teacher to handle it, see. 08:44.000 --> 08:47.000 You think you stand a chance for the job, Pop? 08:47.000 --> 08:52.000 I don't know, but I'll study. I'm going to work my head to the bone. 08:52.000 --> 08:58.000 Riley, why are you going through all this? Aren't you happy with the job you have now? 08:58.000 --> 09:03.000 Well, sure, Peck, but that ain't the point. I want this family to get something. 09:03.000 --> 09:11.000 I want my daughter, Beth, to be the best dressed girl in school and get elected to the best fraternity. 09:11.000 --> 09:13.000 Pop sorority. 09:13.000 --> 09:19.000 Oh, that's right. I ain't forgotten you either, son. You'll be elected to the best sorority. 09:19.000 --> 09:23.000 If you can fix that, I'm going to like college. 09:23.000 --> 09:28.000 Well, Riley, you're sweet to worry about it. I wish you all the luck in the world. 09:28.000 --> 09:33.000 Oh, thanks, Humbert. Well, I'm off to climb the tree of knowledge, 09:33.000 --> 09:38.000 and I won't be satisfied until I'm hanging from the highest bridge. 09:38.000 --> 09:47.000 The Highest Bridge 09:47.000 --> 09:54.000 And now, Pop, let's begin your first session at night school with a very simple type of algebra problem. 09:54.000 --> 09:56.000 Come in. 09:56.000 --> 09:58.000 Good evening, Miss Jessup. Teacher? 09:58.000 --> 10:03.000 Oh, Mr. Riley. Tell me, what are you doing here? 10:03.000 --> 10:05.000 I come to get educated. 10:05.000 --> 10:09.000 I repeat, what are you doing here? 10:09.000 --> 10:13.000 Your record last year was unbelievably deplorable. 10:13.000 --> 10:17.000 Well, don't worry, teacher. This year is going to be believable. 10:17.000 --> 10:22.000 I've got a reason to work hard now. I want to take that test for the new job at my plant. 10:22.000 --> 10:28.000 Oh, you are? Well, now, that's most commendable. I told you my very best to help you. 10:28.000 --> 10:34.000 Oh, thank you, teacher. I hear that you're in charge of that exam. 10:34.000 --> 10:36.000 Yes, that's correct. 10:36.000 --> 10:39.000 You're going to mark our papers on the exams, too, I guess, huh? 10:39.000 --> 10:42.000 Naturally. Now, take your seat, please. 10:42.000 --> 10:48.000 Oh, by the way, teacher, I have a little something for you. 10:48.000 --> 10:51.000 Here, I hope you can use a pair of nylons. 10:51.000 --> 10:56.000 Nylons? Oh, thank you, Mr. Riley. 10:56.000 --> 11:01.000 Mr. Riley, I trust this gift has no bearing on the exam. 11:01.000 --> 11:04.000 You know that I would never allow myself to be influenced. 11:04.000 --> 11:08.000 Oh, no, no, no. 11:08.000 --> 11:15.000 You got me wrong. I'm giving you these nylons because you're so, so lovable. 11:15.000 --> 11:22.000 Well, in that case, I see no reason why I shouldn't accept your little gift. 11:22.000 --> 11:27.000 And, Mr. Riley, there seems to be only one starting here. 11:27.000 --> 11:31.000 You get the other one after I pass the exam. 11:31.000 --> 11:42.000 He was just brought to the first act of the life of Riley, 11:42.000 --> 11:47.000 and we'll be back with night school student Riley in just a moment. 11:47.000 --> 11:49.000 Meanwhile, this is Ken Carpenter. 11:49.000 --> 11:54.000 You know, people used to be real shocked when we told them they were grinding cavities into their own teeth, 11:54.000 --> 11:59.000 grinding in ugly cavities at the gum line by the daily use of toothpastes and powders, 11:59.000 --> 12:01.000 containing harsh abrasives. 12:01.000 --> 12:05.000 But now millions of people use teal to avoid such damage. 12:05.000 --> 12:09.000 Millions of people know that teal cleans teeth without abrasives. 12:09.000 --> 12:15.000 They realize the tremendous importance of that fact, the beauty and well-being of their teeth. 12:15.000 --> 12:17.000 What do you realize that importance? 12:17.000 --> 12:22.000 Do you know that out of every ten adults, eight have receding gums, 12:22.000 --> 12:30.000 and that when gums recede, softer parts of your teeth are exposed, 25 times softer than tooth enamel? 12:30.000 --> 12:32.000 Yes, it's a fact. 12:32.000 --> 12:39.000 And those softer parts are easily damaged by daily brushings with toothpaste or powder containing harsh abrasives. 12:39.000 --> 12:44.000 The chances are eight in ten you're risking ground-in gum line cavities right now, 12:44.000 --> 12:48.000 unless the dentifrice you use contains no such abrasives. 12:48.000 --> 12:54.000 Well, teal alone, of all leading dentifrices, contains no abrasives. 12:54.000 --> 12:58.000 Clean teeth safely and gently with a patented ingredient. 12:58.000 --> 13:04.000 Therefore, teal protects teeth from ground-in gum line cavities as no other leading dentifrice can. 13:04.000 --> 13:10.000 The teal whey takes one extra minute a week to make teeth look their sparkling best safely. 13:10.000 --> 13:13.000 Just follow the easy directions on the package. 13:13.000 --> 13:18.000 Everybody loves the tangy flavor of teal. It's refreshing aftertaste. 13:18.000 --> 13:24.000 Insist on TEEL, the safe liquid dentifrice. 13:24.000 --> 13:28.000 And now back to the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley. 13:28.000 --> 13:40.000 Well, Riley has been going to night school to prepare for the important exam that's being given at the plant where he works. 13:40.000 --> 13:45.000 The worker making the best mark gets promoted to a better job with a raise in pay. 13:45.000 --> 13:55.000 Now the time has come and poor scared Riley is walking to the examination room where he's stopped by a shifty-eyed man named Benny. 13:55.000 --> 13:57.000 Riley, just a minute. 13:57.000 --> 14:01.000 Oh, hello, Benny. Benny, is that the room where they give the exam? 14:01.000 --> 14:02.000 Yeah. 14:02.000 --> 14:03.000 You've taken it, Riley? 14:03.000 --> 14:04.000 Yeah. 14:04.000 --> 14:05.000 Yeah, I've got to go in now. 14:05.000 --> 14:10.000 Hey, listen, Riley, you want a tip on today's winners? 14:10.000 --> 14:13.000 Well, you know I never bet on horses, Benny. I've got to go inside now. 14:13.000 --> 14:21.000 Oh, you've got me wrong, Riley. I'm branching out. Instead of the ponies, I'm in the educational racket. 14:21.000 --> 14:22.000 Now I've got here. 14:22.000 --> 14:24.000 No, I've got to go, Benny. I'm almost late. 14:24.000 --> 14:26.000 Better late than helpless, chum. 14:26.000 --> 14:29.000 Listen, you're taking the exam to win, ain't you? 14:29.000 --> 14:44.000 So I can put you under a good thing, straight from the feed box. I got here all the winning answers, right here on this little cheat sheet. 14:44.000 --> 14:48.000 What? Well, Benny, how did you get the answers? 14:48.000 --> 14:55.000 Oh, I know my way around. Same as at the track. Now with these here answers, you'll win by ten lengths. 14:55.000 --> 14:59.000 Slip me two bucks and it's yours. But it ain't honest. 14:59.000 --> 15:06.000 What do you mean it ain't honest? I take a note. These are the correct answers. 15:06.000 --> 15:09.000 Come on, Riley, slip me a douche. This is a sure thing. 15:09.000 --> 15:15.000 No, no, I ain't no cheater. Anyhow, I ain't got no dough. 15:15.000 --> 15:23.000 I hate to see a lovely character like you get left at the post. But I'll tell you what I'll do. And put these answers here in your pocket, see? 15:23.000 --> 15:25.000 No, no, no, I don't want it. Take it back. 15:25.000 --> 15:39.000 It's in your pocket. Why make it first? If you don't use it, you owe me nothing. If you do and it pays off, I'll see you around for my cut. So long, chum. Keep your nose out in front and ride to win. 15:39.000 --> 15:42.000 No, no, Benny, come here. Take it back. Benny, I don't want it now. 15:42.000 --> 15:50.000 Who's making all this noise? Oh, it's you, Mr. Riley. If you are not inside in ten seconds, I won't permit you to take the exam. 15:50.000 --> 15:58.000 Oh, wait, Miss Jessup, please. I've been training for this race. You can't scratch me now. 15:58.000 --> 16:12.000 Only two minutes more, then pack on your papers. 16:12.000 --> 16:22.000 Two minutes? Two minutes. Four answers to go. Oh, gee, these are tough. I'll never make it. There's only one way I can get these answers and win. 16:22.000 --> 16:25.000 Ah, ah, ah, Riley. 16:25.000 --> 16:27.000 Listen, conscience, beat it with you. 16:27.000 --> 16:29.000 Riley, don't touch that cheat sheet. 16:29.000 --> 16:30.000 I ain't touching it. 16:30.000 --> 16:33.000 You're pulling it out of your pocket. Put it back. 16:33.000 --> 16:36.000 I can't. It won't let go. 16:36.000 --> 16:38.000 Riley, don't look at it. 16:38.000 --> 16:43.000 Just one little peek. It's not for me. It's for my wife and kids. 16:43.000 --> 16:45.000 They'd rather have you lose than cheat. 16:45.000 --> 16:54.000 They won't know unless you shoot your big mouth off. I've got to be a success. That new job means more money. 16:54.000 --> 16:57.000 How can you spend money you get by cheating? 16:57.000 --> 17:00.000 I'll force myself. 17:00.000 --> 17:04.000 Think of your family. They'll hate you if they find out. 17:04.000 --> 17:08.000 You're right. You're right. I mustn't do it. I won't cheat. 17:08.000 --> 17:09.000 Throw that cheat away. 17:09.000 --> 17:11.000 Yeah. Yeah, look, I'm throwing it away. 17:11.000 --> 17:15.000 Mr. Riley, what's that you just took out of your pocket? 17:15.000 --> 17:17.000 Ah, ah, ah, my hand. 17:17.000 --> 17:19.000 And what is in your hand? 17:19.000 --> 17:27.000 Ah, ah, five fingers. A thumb, a pinky, and a few middle fingers. 17:27.000 --> 17:29.000 Let me see that paper you took out of your pocket. 17:29.000 --> 17:31.000 Oh, wait. I'll read it to you. 17:31.000 --> 17:34.000 Never mind. I'll read it myself, thank you. 17:34.000 --> 17:36.000 Here's Miss Jessup. 17:36.000 --> 17:43.000 Oh, I was afraid of this. Mr. Riley, I never thought you'd stoop low enough to cheat. 17:43.000 --> 17:48.000 No. No, I didn't cheat. I took it out to throw it away, Miss Jessup. Honest. 17:48.000 --> 17:52.000 Mr. Riley, hand in your examination paper. 17:52.000 --> 17:54.000 Yes, teacher. 17:54.000 --> 18:00.000 Now, now you can go. I shall report your disgraceful conduct to your employer, Mr. Stevenson. 18:00.000 --> 18:02.000 But I didn't cheat. 18:02.000 --> 18:06.000 Please leave this room. 18:06.000 --> 18:15.000 Okay. I'll go. 18:15.000 --> 18:21.000 I just want to say one thing. You're accusing me of being a cheat. 18:21.000 --> 18:27.000 But I say like Captain John Smith said to Polka Hottest before she chopped his head off. 18:27.000 --> 18:42.000 You're hanging an innocent man. 18:42.000 --> 18:44.000 Is that you, Riley? 18:44.000 --> 18:45.000 Hello, Dumplin. 18:45.000 --> 18:46.000 Hello, Daddy. 18:46.000 --> 18:48.000 How did the exam go this morning, dear? 18:48.000 --> 18:51.000 Uh, it went. 18:51.000 --> 18:55.000 Well, that's fine. I bet you can't wait for the results. 18:55.000 --> 18:57.000 I can wait. 18:57.000 --> 18:59.000 Is that you, Junior? 18:59.000 --> 19:02.000 Yeah, it's me. 19:02.000 --> 19:05.000 Why, Junior, dear, you've got a black eye. 19:05.000 --> 19:07.000 Oh, gee, what a shyness. 19:07.000 --> 19:11.000 Junior, how many times have I told you not to go around fighting? Who was it? 19:11.000 --> 19:14.000 Shorty Gillis. But I had to do it. 19:14.000 --> 19:15.000 You've got no business. 19:15.000 --> 19:17.000 I did it for you, Pop. 19:17.000 --> 19:21.000 I can fight Shorty myself. 19:21.000 --> 19:23.000 What do you mean you did it for me? 19:23.000 --> 19:29.000 Well, well, he called you a name. He said you were a cheater. 19:29.000 --> 19:32.000 Forget it, Junior. Go wash your face. 19:32.000 --> 19:36.000 Just a minute, Junior. He called your father a cheat? 19:36.000 --> 19:37.000 Yeah, he said the... 19:37.000 --> 19:43.000 Okay, Junior, that's enough. Peg, I guess I might as well tell you myself. 19:43.000 --> 19:45.000 What happened, Daddy? 19:45.000 --> 19:49.000 Well, at the exam this morning, Miss Jessop accused me of cheating. 19:49.000 --> 19:52.000 Cheating? Why, that's ridiculous. 19:52.000 --> 19:54.000 What made her do that? 19:54.000 --> 19:59.000 I don't know. Just because she found the answers in my hand. 19:59.000 --> 20:00.000 Oh, oh, yes. 20:00.000 --> 20:04.000 But it was an accident. I just happened to pick it up. 20:04.000 --> 20:06.000 But where did it come from, Daddy? 20:06.000 --> 20:09.000 Well, my pocket. 20:09.000 --> 20:11.000 Oh, your pocket? 20:11.000 --> 20:15.000 But I wasn't cheating, honest. I swear, I was going to throw it away, you see. 20:15.000 --> 20:21.000 Riley, if you say you didn't cheat, that's good enough for us. We believe you. 20:21.000 --> 20:22.000 Of course we do. 20:22.000 --> 20:28.000 And your word's good enough for us, even if you did it. 20:28.000 --> 20:35.000 Gee, gee, you're a wonderful family. I don't deserve such a wonderful family. 20:35.000 --> 20:39.000 Oh, now, now, dear, don't talk like that. 20:39.000 --> 20:48.000 Well, it's true. I disgraced you. The whole neighborhood will know from Gillis that scandal mongrel. 20:48.000 --> 20:52.000 And only that's my borsal probably, fire me for this. 20:52.000 --> 20:55.000 Well, I don't care. The main thing is you didn't do it. 20:55.000 --> 20:58.000 Now, come on, dear, eat your supper. You'll feel better. 20:58.000 --> 21:05.000 No, Peg, I ain't got no appetite. I'm going outside and blow my brains out. 21:05.000 --> 21:06.000 Riley! 21:06.000 --> 21:23.000 No, just with some fresh air. 21:23.000 --> 21:24.000 Oh, there, Riley. 21:24.000 --> 21:26.000 Huh? Who's that? 21:26.000 --> 21:31.000 It is I, Digby O'Dell, the friendly undertaker. 21:31.000 --> 21:33.000 Oh, hello, Digger. 21:33.000 --> 21:40.000 You're looking fine, Riley. Very natural. 21:40.000 --> 21:44.000 Oh, maybe so, but that ain't the way I feel. 21:44.000 --> 21:53.000 Tell me, Digger, were you ever in a tight spot where you didn't know which way to turn, sort of all boxed in? 21:53.000 --> 21:59.000 Not I personally, but I know what you mean. 21:59.000 --> 22:01.000 And what's troubling you, Riley? 22:01.000 --> 22:03.000 Well, I don't feel like talking about it, Digger. 22:03.000 --> 22:07.000 Oh, you know me, Riley. I'm your friend. 22:07.000 --> 22:18.000 If you're trying to hide something, I'll be glad to cover you up. 22:18.000 --> 22:21.000 Well, you see, Digger, I took an exam this morning. 22:21.000 --> 22:27.000 Ah, examination. Last minute cramming the night before. 22:27.000 --> 22:32.000 Your heart palpitating wildly as you entered the classroom. 22:32.000 --> 22:36.000 Your brain frantic-alas searching for the answer. 22:36.000 --> 22:39.000 Lest you fail and be in disgrace. 22:39.000 --> 22:42.000 I adore examinations. 22:42.000 --> 22:49.000 That's okay. 22:49.000 --> 22:56.000 Well, this one wasn't. I was accused of cheating, but I didn't. I swear, Digger, I... 22:56.000 --> 23:07.000 No, you wouldn't cheat, Riley. I've known you for years, and you've always been honest and above ground. 23:07.000 --> 23:09.000 You mean above board. 23:09.000 --> 23:15.000 Above ground is better, believe me. 23:15.000 --> 23:20.000 The worst of it is, this exam was run by the plant and now my boss will probably fire me. 23:20.000 --> 23:26.000 Oh, my word. I just saw your boss a few moments ago going into your house with Miss Jessup. 23:26.000 --> 23:33.000 My house? They come to fire me. I know it. I've got to get home. I need that job. 23:33.000 --> 23:36.000 If I have to, I'll get down on my knees and beg for it. 23:36.000 --> 23:43.000 No, Riley, be a man. Beat him to the punch. Resign before he fires you. 23:43.000 --> 23:46.000 You're right, Digger. I've got my pride. 23:46.000 --> 23:51.000 Speak right out. Tell him you don't have to take his cup, even if he is the kingpin. 23:51.000 --> 23:52.000 Kingpin. 23:52.000 --> 23:53.000 And head of the plant. 23:53.000 --> 23:59.000 And head of the plant. That's just what I'll say. And someday he'll be sorry. He'll beg me to come back. 23:59.000 --> 24:08.000 That's right. So just be patient, like I am. 24:08.000 --> 24:17.000 In my profession, we have a saying, everyone comes to him who waits. 24:17.000 --> 24:19.000 Cheerio. 24:19.000 --> 24:32.000 I'm sure Riley will be home in a few minutes, Mr. Stevenson, if you don't mind waiting. 24:32.000 --> 24:34.000 Why, why not at all, Mrs. Riley. 24:34.000 --> 24:38.000 I imagine the incident this morning upset him considerably. 24:38.000 --> 24:42.000 My goodness, Jess, he was afraid he was going to be fired. 24:42.000 --> 24:49.000 Well, that's just like Riley, imagining the worst. Well, he's got nothing to worry about on that score. 24:49.000 --> 24:54.000 Oh, Riley, I'm so glad you're home. Mr. Stevenson's here to talk. 24:54.000 --> 24:55.000 I see him. 24:55.000 --> 24:57.000 Yes, Riley, how are you tonight? 24:57.000 --> 25:07.000 All through the talking around here, Stevenson. I resign. You can keep your measly job. I wouldn't work for you if you paid me. 25:07.000 --> 25:11.000 What? Riley, what are you saying? 25:11.000 --> 25:13.000 Now hold on a minute, Riley. 25:13.000 --> 25:19.000 I don't have to take no gust from you, even if you are the kingpinhead of the plant. 25:19.000 --> 25:22.000 Riley, what are you saying? 25:22.000 --> 25:24.000 No, Peg, I got my bride. 25:24.000 --> 25:27.000 Just a moment, Mr. Riley. 25:27.000 --> 25:29.000 Yes, teacher? 25:29.000 --> 25:35.000 If you'd allow Mr. Stevenson to get a word in, you'd learn that he's not here to fire you. 25:35.000 --> 25:40.000 Well, wait a minute. Do you mean I'm not fired? 25:40.000 --> 25:44.000 Of course not. You've still got your job. 25:44.000 --> 25:54.000 Yes, Riley, and you can have it for life. What a revolting development this is. 25:54.000 --> 26:03.000 We realize that you have an opportunity to cheat this morning, but we know now that you didn't. I'm proud of you, Mr. Riley. 26:03.000 --> 26:08.000 Well, so am I. But how did you find out that I didn't cheat? 26:08.000 --> 26:18.000 Well, that sheet I caught you with had all the right answers. Yet when I read your paper, I discovered that you were the only one who had every answer wrong. 26:18.000 --> 26:28.000 All of them? 26:28.000 --> 26:32.000 Every single one. 26:32.000 --> 26:35.000 Every answer wrong? 26:35.000 --> 26:43.000 Isn't that marvelous? 26:43.000 --> 27:00.000 It just goes to show, it pays to be ignorant. 27:00.000 --> 27:09.000 The Rallies will be back in half a minute. If you're smart, you'll start using teal on your toothbrush right away. Teal instead of toothpaste or powder. 27:09.000 --> 27:18.000 Teal protects teeth from ugly gum line cavities, cavities ground in by the daily use of toothpaste or powders containing harsh abrasives. 27:18.000 --> 27:24.000 Teal cleans teeth without abrasives, avoids the risk of such unnecessary cavities. 27:24.000 --> 27:31.000 Ask for TEEL. Teal, the safe, refreshing liquid dentifrice.
