00:17Co-Starring Gail Gordon
00:48Is this gate 7?
00:49Yes, ma'am.
00:50Oh, is this where flight 74 comes in from the east about 1201?
00:53Yes, ma'am.
00:54Oh, my girlfriend's on that plane.
00:56Uh, Vivian Bagley.
00:57I mean, her name used to be Vivian Bagley, but now it's Vivian Bunsen.
01:01She got married again.
01:02Flight number 74 is now coming in for a landing.
01:06Oh. Oh, there it is!
01:08There it is!
01:09Oh, isn't this exciting!
01:12Oh, look! Someone's hanging out of the plane!
01:15Why, that's the landing gear!
01:19Flight number 74 will be unloading at gate 7.
01:23Oh! Oh, miss, miss, where are you going?
01:25Oh, I just wanted to be back there.
01:27I thought it would be very nice if I was right there at the bottom of the steps when Viv came out of the plane.
01:31I'm sorry, miss, but you can't go out there!
01:33There's Viv! There's Viv! Viv!
01:37Viv! Viv! Viv!
01:41Oh, I'm so glad!
01:45Oh, I'm so glad!
01:47I just got to play with Viv again!
01:49I wish I was playing!
01:51I wish I was playing!
01:57I'm so happy to see you!
01:59Oh, and I'm so glad to see you!
02:01Oh!
02:03Oh, I don't know how I stayed awake!
02:06I don't know!
02:10Have you had breakfast?
02:12Oh, no! I just had lunch!
02:14Oh, I forgot the difference in time!
02:16Oh, I love it! Now that I'm in California, I'm three hours younger!
02:22Oh, Viv, that's my child!
02:24Here, let me carry this for you.
02:26Oh, boy, that's heavy! What do you got in here?
02:28I bought you a present!
02:30What?
02:31A big bag of oranges!
02:36Yes!
02:40Good morning, Mr. Mooney!
02:43Good afternoon!
02:46I'm glad you finally got here!
02:48Gee, have I got a big surprise for you!
02:50Oh, please, please! No, no, no game!
02:52Not on the dance floor!
02:53I'm waiting to find out who came to see us!
02:55Surprise!
02:57Hello, Mr. Mooney!
02:59Oh, my!
03:06See, I asked Viv to come here because I didn't want her sitting alone in my apartment all day waiting for me,
03:10so I didn't think you'd mind if she waited until I finished work.
03:13Well, not at all. Now, of course, you must excuse us.
03:15We have a lot of important work today.
03:17Oh, don't mind me. Just go right ahead.
03:19You sit right over here, darling.
03:20Oh, okay.
03:21And you put your bags right over here. Take off your coat.
03:23Here's a magazine.
03:25I just know you're going to love it!
03:27There's some wild things in here!
03:28All righty!
03:29Mrs. Carmichael!
03:30Yes, sir?
03:31Will you bring your ledger over here, please?
03:32Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
03:34Now, will you refer to page 44?
03:36Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
03:37Yes. Now, 44...
03:38Oh, Lucy, look at this gown!
03:40Oh!
03:42That's a one-fifth! Is that too much?
03:45Of course, you have to have the figure for it.
03:47Oh, say, did you notice I've lost a lot of weight?
03:50I'm down to a size 12, and that's without my girdle.
03:53Yeah, I sure did notice.
03:55I noticed that on the way home from the airport.
03:57Oh, you did?
03:58Yeah. We never had that much room in the cab before.
04:02Since I got married, I just stopped eating between meals.
04:06You did?
04:07Yep. I just eat my six meals a day now, and that's it.
04:11Six meals?
04:13Uh-huh. I have to keep up my strength.
04:15If I don't, it gets a week I can't eat.
04:19And if I can't eat, I don't have the energy for those singing lessons.
04:22Oh, you're giving singing lessons?
04:25Not giving. Taking.
04:27Oh, how wonderful!
04:29How are you doing?
04:30Oh, way do you hear me?
04:31Not here.
04:35All right, Mr. Mooney, but I want you to hear me before I leave town.
04:38Oh, I want to hear you, Viv. I want to.
04:41My husband refers to me as his happy little canary.
04:44Aw, that's cute.
04:47Cute?
04:49A hundred and fifty pound canary?
04:53Oh, Viv, would you like a cup of coffee?
04:55Oh, I'd love to have a cup of coffee.
04:57You don't mind, do you, Mr. Mooney?
05:00Oh, it'll be just like old times, having a cup of coffee with you.
05:04Oh, and I've got so much to ask you.
05:06Oh, and I've got so much to tell you.
05:08Have you?
05:09Mm-hmm.
05:10Before I left home, I went to the beauty parlor and I picked up all the local gossip.
05:13Oh, wonderful.
05:15Anybody wants me?
05:17No.
05:18No?
05:19No.
05:20Oh.
05:21Anybody wants me, I'll be out in my car.
05:26Oh, Mr. Mooney, aren't you going to stay and have coffee with us?
05:39You're right. He hasn't changed a bit.
05:41He sure hasn't. And I'm so glad he's gone.
05:44Now we can gossip all we want to. Tell me about everybody.
05:47Well, now, let's see. When I was in the beauty parlor, I heard something about Helen and Joe Walton's son.
05:52You mean little Herbie Walton?
05:54Yeah, you remember him?
05:55Certainly. I was at his high school graduation.
05:57I heard that all he does is hang around that Sunset Strip.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Well, they said he's, uh, oh, he just got so he looks very unusual.
06:09Like what?
06:10Well, he's got hair down to his shoulders and he's got a guitar hanging around his neck.
06:15And he wears a watch in his ear for an earring.
06:20Well, never mind that. Tell me why he looks unusual.
06:26I just told you. He's got hair down to here and he wears a watch in his ear like an earring.
06:31Well, on the Sunset Strip, everybody looks like that.
06:35Well, maybe you folks out here in California are used to things like that.
06:39But, oh, boy, if his mother ever hears what happened to him.
06:43Do you mean Helen doesn't know?
06:45No, she doesn't go to my beauty parlor.
06:49Well, maybe we better get up on that Sunset Strip and straighten out little Herbie before his folks hear about him.
06:55Oh, now, Lucy, there's nothing we can do.
06:57What do you mean there's nothing we can do? We can try to talk to him.
07:00Oh, his generation lives in a kooky little world all their own.
07:04They don't want to talk to us.
07:06What?
07:07Well, maybe he would talk to us if he sees us up there on the Sunset Strip and he thinks that we're his own kind.
07:13Now, Lucy, we're outsiders. He wouldn't talk to us.
07:16Besides, I didn't come here to butt into anybody's business.
07:19I came here to see the sights.
07:21Well, then you've got nothing to worry about. You're going to see the Sunset Strip.
07:25And believe me, girl, that's a sight.
07:36Oh, my God.
08:07Oh, my God.
08:27I didn't realize they'd be this far out.
08:30Oh, boy.
08:31Did you see that kook with his beard and curlers?
08:34Yeah.
08:37How about that character with the bare feet and the braided toes?
08:42Gee.
08:43I think I look just as ridiculous.
08:45I don't see why I let you talk me into this.
08:48Because we want to find Herbie Walton, don't we?
08:51Maybe one of those weirdos knows where we can find Herbie.
08:54But remember, they don't trust outsiders. Let's act like we're one of them.
08:58Come on. Just pay no attention.
09:07Hi.
09:09Hi.
09:12Hi.
09:13Hi.
09:15What's your name?
09:16Hi.
09:19Hi. What's your name?
09:21Hi.
09:22Oh, hi, hi. I'm Vi.
09:28I'm Luce.
09:29Luce?
09:31That's short for Lucy.
09:37Well, what are you doing up here?
09:39We're looking for a guy named Herbie Walton.
09:42Yeah.
09:43Herbie Walton?
09:44Uh-huh.
09:45What's this cat look like?
09:47Well, he's got long hair and a guitar.
09:51And he wears a watch in his ear like an earring.
09:54Oh, yeah. You mean itchy.
09:58Itchy?
09:59Yeah, itchy usually makes a scene around this time.
10:02So stick around.
10:04Stick around.
10:05Beautiful.
10:09He was talking to me.
10:24Say, Herbie.
10:25Yeah.
10:27Take a look at those new rules and see if I'm allowed to tell her to get her foot off my motorcycle.
10:41It says here it's okay if you take your hat off first.
10:51Excuse me, miss.
10:53Would you please get your foot off my motorcycle?
10:56Cool it, buds. Cool it. Don't jabber. Don't jabber.
11:00Don't jabber me. Don't jabber me.
11:05Get your foot off my motorcycle.
11:07Cool it, man. Cool it.
11:09All right. All right. Cool it. I'll call the police.
11:13I mean, I'll call the police.
11:19Cool it.
11:27Don't blow your stock, pussycat. Don't blow your stock.
11:32Oh, Lucy, I'm going to get out of here. I want to go home.
11:34No, no. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We want to find Herbie Walton, don't we?
11:37Well, I don't know.
11:38Look, look. There's a lot of coops going into that club across the street. Let's start in there.
11:43In the Harry, eh?
11:45Yeah, that should be a good place to find a guy named Itchy.
11:48Oh, now, Lucy. Don't jabber me. Don't jabber me.
11:51Don't blow your stack, pussycat. Don't jabber me.
12:01Don't blow your stack, pussycat. Don't jabber me.

13:19Just remember, we gotta act in or we'll be thrown out.
13:26Will it be?
13:28What do you have?
13:29Uh, can we have a menu?
13:33We don't have menus. If you don't see it on the tablecloth, we ain't got it.
13:41Uh, we'll just have some coffee.
13:44Okay. Two muddy splashes.
13:49Okay.
14:12They're trying to tell us something.
14:14Uh-oh. They want to dance with us.
14:45Hey, you chicks do the arrow?
14:47The arrow?
14:48Yeah.
15:06No, we don't do the arrow.
15:08How about the rooster?
15:10The rooster?
15:12The rooster?
15:29No, no, we just made this scene. We don't know any California dances.
15:34What kind of dancing do you do?
15:37Well, uh, I can do the lighthouse.
15:40The lighthouse?
15:41Uh-huh.
15:58Hey, that's good. What do you do?
16:00Uh, I can do the chipmunk.
16:04The chipmunk?
16:05Yeah.
16:12See, that was really cool.
16:14Let's go.
16:41Let's go.
17:05Walk away.
17:12All right, all right. We got a little impromptu entertainment.
17:16Got a new cat that wants to try his wings here at the Harry 8.
17:19Itchy Walton.
17:21He'll accompany himself on his own.
17:24Get boxed.
17:37Isn't that awful? Look at that.
17:39Isn't that awful? Look at that hair.
17:42And his father, a barber.
17:46No wonder he's itchy.
17:50I'm going to sing my own composition, Lament to a Small Town.
17:56I come from a small town with grass roots, blue serge suits and turkey shoots.
18:03It's Squaresville, man, like New Moon Hay or Groundhog's Day or Friday night at the PTA.
18:14Yeah, the dialogue's dull as dull can be.
18:17They say things like long time no see or howdy, neighbor, golly gee.
18:26Yeah, or a village fool when he blows his cool will come on with a bye, Jiminy.
18:32Well, I split these scenes before my teens had to take my leave on Christmas Eve
18:37because I sealed Santa up in the chimney.
18:41I could hear him shout that he wanted out as I grabbed his sleigh for my getaway.
18:45On, hipster. On, swinger. On, playboy. On, bunny.
18:50Let's get to the city and go for the money.
18:54Merry Christmas.
19:02Isn't that the worst thing you ever heard?
19:04Man, it'll probably sell a million copies.
19:08Oh, itchy, that was groovy, man, groovy.
19:13Yeah, we dig you, cat. We'd like to buy you a splash.
19:16Yeah, sit down, have a splash, Groovy.
19:19Yeah, groovy, groovy.
19:21You, uh, you really come from a small town, itch?
19:24Oh, you better believe it.
19:26A place called Danfield. Real dope.
19:31And when did you make up your mind to leave there?
19:34Oh, a while ago.
19:36Then I came out here with all these cats and I dug all this swingin' X.
19:41Well, don't you miss your parents or ever think about them?
19:44Well, you know, they're okay.
19:46But that mom and dad scene is really a drag.
19:49That's a drag.
19:51Not that that's a drag.
19:53That's a drag.
19:55Not that they should be stamped out or anything.
19:58Yeah, but that Maggie and Jigs action is pretty hard to fake.
20:01Maggie and Jigs?
20:03Herbie Walton, you ought to be ashamed of yourself talking about your parents like that.
20:07Herbie Walton?
20:08Yes.
20:09How do you know me?
20:10I'm Mrs. Bunsen.
20:11Mrs. Bunsen from Danfield?
20:13Yes, and this is Mrs. Carmichael. Maybe you remember her.
20:16She used to live there in Doleville.
20:19Well, yeah, sure, but what are you two doing here?
20:22What's this?
20:23We're trying to find you, Itchy, and bring you to your senses.
20:26Oh, now, Mrs. Carmichael, I was just putting you on.
20:29What do you mean by that?
20:30Well, I thought you were like all the rest of these characters and I didn't want anybody to get wise to me.
20:35Get wise to you? Wise to you about what?
20:38The hair and all this jazz.
20:41You don't really think I turned out to be one of these kooks.
20:44Well, then what are you doing here like that?
20:46Just getting some material that I need for a thesis.
20:49A thesis?
20:51My psychology class.
20:53Oh, for heaven's sake.
20:56Believe me, I can't wait to take this wig off.
20:59Oh, it's a wig.
21:01Oh, well, are we glad to hear that.
21:03Listen, will you do me a favor?
21:05Sure, what?
21:06What time is it?
21:0810.30.
21:09Oh, my gosh, I've got to be cutting out.
21:11What?
21:12I mean getting back to the dorm.
21:13Oh, the dormitory.
21:14Nice to see you.
21:15Oh, I'm so glad we found you, Herbie.
21:17Good luck with your thesis.
21:19Thank you, thank you.
21:20Oh, when I write Mom and Dad, I'll tell them I saw you.
21:23But I won't tell them how you looked.
21:28Well, now, aren't you glad we came?
21:30Everything turned out just fine.
21:32Yeah, for once one of your crazy schemes didn't backfire.
21:35Come on, let's get out of here.
22:19THE END
