(APPLAUSE) JACK: Thank you, thank you, thank you�Hello again, this is Jack Benny talking. And Don, that was a very clever introduction, so I think it�s only fair that I tell the audience that you, too, were the inspiration for a song. DON: Me? JACK: Yes. My Truly Truly Fat�Don, here it is only the second program of the season�and already you have to give me a sarcastic introduction. DON: Sarcastic? Jack, believe me, I didn�t mean it to be. JACK: Oh, you didn�t mean it to be�Well look, Don, we have a long show to do tonight, so let�s� DON: Jack, if I had any idea that you would misconstrue what was meant to be a compliment, I certainly wouldn�t have said it. JACK: Okay, okay, let�s forget it�And now, ladies and gentlemen, since we�re going to do a very important� DON: Jack, I can�t forget it. JACK: Don.. DON: I wouldn�t say anything to hurt you for the world. JACK: All right. DON: In fact, when I thought of that introduction, I told it to my wife. And she said, �Donald, that�s beautiful. I�m so glad you�re not going to say anything to make that old goat unhappy.� JACK: What? Don, your wife called me an old goat? DON: Well� JACK: Don, does your wife know about the new contract I gave you? DON: Well Jack, it�s not so different. I�ve always worked from week to week. JACK: Well, this year you�re working from word to word. I can fire you between L S and M F T�Now go and sit down. DON: Wait a minute, Jack. JACK: Huh? DON: If you feel that my services are no longer needed on this program, just say the word and I�ll go. JACK: Don, forget it.. Sit down, will you?�Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we�re going to do a very important----Oh, hello, Mary. MARY: Hello, Jack. I�m sorry I�m late. JACK: That�s all right. MARY: I�ll tell you what happened. I was driving down Sunset Boulevard.. I made a left turn from the wrong lane and a cop stopped me. JACK: No kidding.. did you get a ticket? MARY: Well, he was going to give me one, but I talked him out of it.. I told him I was a working girl and I didn�t have much money.. and right now it was especially tough on me because I was sending my brother through college. JACK: Well, did he believe that? MARY: He didn�t seem to, so I opened my purse to show him my brother�s picture.. but I was so nervous I showed him a picture of my Sister Babe. JACK: Oh, then you were really in trouble. MARY: No, it worked. JACK: Now wait a minute, Mary. I know we kid a lot about Babe, but don�t tell me that when you show someone a picture of her, they would mistake her for a man. MARY: (LAUGHING) Well, fortunately, Jack, when this picture was taken, Babe had just come home from a football game and was still wearing her helmet. JACK: Oh.. well, I imagine that broken nose helped a little too�..Anyway, Mary, I�m glad you didn�t get a ticket�And now, ladies and gentlemen, for our feature attraction--- DON: I�VE GOT MY PRIDE, YOU KNOW. JACK: What?�Oh, Don, forget it. DON: I won�t forget it. If I�m not wanted on this program, I�ll leave. MARY: Jack, what�s wrong with Don? JACK: It�s nothing. DON: Nothing, he says.. and after all I�ve done for him. JACK: Huh? Now just hold it a minute, Don.. what have you ever done for me? DON: I�ll tell you what I�ve done for you.. I�ve been on this program seventeen years.. and for seventeen years I�ve been eating and eating and stuffing myself just so you can do jokes at my expense. JACK: What? DON: How many laughs would you get if I weren�t a big fat slob? JACK: Don Wilson, I�ve never called you that. DON: Well, you�ve thought it many a time. MARY: Jack Benny, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. JACK: Ashamed of myself? For what? I knew this whole thing would be twisted around where it would all be my fault. DENNIS: My mother hates you, too. JACK: Dennis, this doesn�t concern your mother and it doesn�t concern you either. This is just between Don and myself. MARY: Wait a minute, Jack. What concerns one member of the cast concerns all of us. JACK: Look, Mary, you can keep out of this, too. DON: Wait a minute. .you can�t talk to Mary like that. JACK: Oh, I can�t, eh? Well, let me tell you something� PHIL: Hold it, hold it, hold it.. Stop this bickering. JACK: Huh? PHIL: (CALMLY AND FATHERLY) We�ve got to stick together�we�re still in radio. JACK: Phil, this whole thing is Don�s fault. He not only made me a sarcastic introduction, but now he tells me that I owe my whole career to him.. that if he didn�t eat and get fat, I would have no show at all. PHIL: Well, Jackson, Donzy�s got a point there. JACK: What? PHIL: Look what I have to do to live up to the character you gave me. JACK: Look, Phil � PHIL: Do you think I like to drink? JACK: Huh? PHIL: Do you think I like to spend my time in pool rooms and cocktail bars and staggering home at four o�clock in the morning�Do you think I enjoy that? JACK: Hmm�I see�Phil, you mean to say you do all this just for my program? PHIL: That�s right. JACK: Well, then let me ask you something.. We weren�t on the radio last night.. so how come I saw you lying in the gutter? PHIL: Rehearsal, Dad, rehearsal. JACK: (SARCASTIC) Well, Phil, in that case, I owe you an apology.. Is there anything I can do to make amends? PHIL: Yes, don't tell Remley I hate the stuff, it'll break his heart. [Pencilled in: Yes, you can buy me a drink.] JACK: I won't, I won't�Now look, kids, I�ve listened to all your complaints.. Don claims he stuffs himself at the table so he can be fat for my program.. Phil claims he drinks a lot so he can remain in character just for my show.. Well, let me tell you something.. I make sacrifices, too, to get laughs� Do you think it�s easy for me to be stingy and cheap? (LONG PAUSE.. JACK LOOKS AT AUDIENCE AND LOOKS BACK) MARY: Well.. this is a loyalty test if I ever heard one. JACK: Never mind. Now Dennis, it�s time for your song. What are you going to sing? DENNIS: " " JACK: Good. DENNIS: I was gonna sing �Too Young� but I didn�t want to start another fight. JACK: All right, sing anything. (APPLAUSE) (DENNIS�S SONG) (APPLAUSE) (SECOND ROUTINE) JACK: That was � � sung by Dennis Day�And now, ladies and gentlemen, for our--- DENNIS: Well, that�s certainly a fine way to start a season. JACK: What? DENNIS: I just sang a song and you didn�t even compliment me. JACK: Oh yes, Dennis, you did sing a song�I�m sorry. DENNIS: Some compliment. JACK: Anyway, Dennis, I don�t have to compliment you every time you sing a song. After all, you�re getting paid, aren�t you? DENNIS: No. JACK: What do you mean, no? DENNIS: That�s why I have to wear these old clothes all the time. JACK: What are you talking about? Don�t I send you a check every week? DENNIS: Uh huh. JACK: Well, what do you do with the money when you cash them? DENNIS: Ooooh, cash them! JACK: Mary, give me a dramamine. MARY: Well Jack, I didn�t want to embarrass you in front of everybody, but since we�re on the subject, I�d like to talk about the check you sent me last week. JACK: What about it. MARY: It bounced. JACK: Bounced! You mean it came back marked Insufficient Funds? MARY: No, Improper Signature. JACK: My check? Why I remember signing it Jack Benny. MARY: I know, but you left off �Star of Stage, Screen, and Radio.� JACK: Oh yes, that�s my commercial account. Now let�s get on with the program�unless the delegate from Encino has a complaint. Anything wrong with your check, Phil? PHIL: No, I just show it to Alice, we have a good laugh, and that�s the end of it. JACK: Phil.. Phil.. Alice can laugh at Glenn McCarthy's checks� Believe me. Now kids, let�s drop all of these arguments and get on with the program�.Now ladies and gentlemen, for our feature attraction tonight, we�re going to do a dramatic play�Our version of Warner Brother�s great Technicolor production.. Captain Horatio Hornblower. MARY: Jack, I saw that picture and it was really exciting. JACK: I know.. Now, in our sketch, I am going to play the part of Captain Horatio Hornblower. DENNIS: Naturally! JACK: Hmmm�Look Dennis, the only reason I�m playing the leading role is because I used to be in the Navy. DENNIS: I was in the Navy too and I was an officer. JACK: That�s right, Dennis.. you were an officer.. and you know, until two weeks ago when they signed the peace treaty, I never believed we won the war�Now Mary, you�re going to play the part that Virginia Mayo played in the picture. MARY: Oh.. Lady Barbara. JACK: That�s right.. And towards the end of our sketch, I nurse you through a siege of Yellow Fever.. during which you fall hopelessly and madly in love with me�Now do you know why you fall in love with me? MARY: Yes.. when I was delirious, you looked like Tyrone Power [Pencilled in: Gregory Peck]. JACK: No, that�s not it at all�Anyway, you�re Lady Barbara, and you were sent on a special mission by the Duke of Wellington. PHIL: Hey, he�s got a great orchestra. JACK: THAT�S DUKE ELLINGTON! PHIL: Oh. JACK: And Phil.. you�re going to be the first mate on my ship.. and Don, you�re going to play the part of an Admiral. DON: Well, an admiral�that sounds real important. JACK: It is, Don�and you�re going to be one of the biggest admirals.. you have a nineteen inch screen. DON: I wouldn�t be able to play that part if I didn�t stuff myself just for you. JACK: Never mind.. don�t do me any favors.. I�ll change that part.. You�ll just be a member of my crew�And finally we come to you, Dennis. DENNIS: It�s about time. JACK: Dennis, you�re going to play the part of El Supremo. DENNIS: El Supremo? JACK: Yes, he�s an unscrupulous, power-mad, ruthless, bloodthirsty cut-throat who�ll stop at nothing to get what he wants. DENNIS: Gee, that�s my agent. JACK: No! It�s just a coincidence�El Supremo happens to be a Spanish Rebel�Now Don, set the scene for our play. DON: Okay.. (VERY DRAMATIC) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE TIME OF OUR PLAY IS THE YEAR EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SEVEN---- (SOUND: PHONE RINGS) JACK: Hold it, Don, just a minute. (SOUND: RECEIVER UP) JACK: Hello? ROCH: HELLO, MR. BENNY, THIS IS ROCHESTER. (APPLAUSE) JACK: Rochester, I�m just ready to do a play.. What do you want? ROCH: WELL BOSS, DON�T GET MAD, BUT I BROKE ONE OF YOUR GOLF CLUBS. JACK: Broke one of my golf clubs! Rochester, you had work to do. Why did you go out and play golf? ROCH: I DIDN�T GO OUT. I USED YOUR GOLF CLUBS TO CLEAN THE HOUSE. JACK: Now that�s ridiculous. How could you use golf clubs to clean house? ROCH: EASY. I WRAPPED RAGS AROUND THE DRIVER AND USED IT TO MOP THE FLOORS. JACK: What? ROCH: I DID THE KITCHEN IN FIVE STROKES, THE PANTRY IN FOUR, I HAD TROUBLE IN THE HALL, BUT COMING THROUGH THE DEN I WAS THREE UNDER PAR. JACK: Well, if there�s any way of making play out of work, you�ll find it. I�m surprised you didn�t try this little trick of yours in the living room. ROCH: I WANTED TO, BUT THAT DUST ON THE PIANO IS WORSE THAN A SAND TRAP. JACK: That I know. ROCH: HEE HEE HEE HEE. JACK: What are you laughing at? ROCH: MR. BEN HOGAN SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME THIS MORNING. JACK: Why? ROCH: I CHIPPED AN APPLE CORE FROM YOUR BEDROOM RIGHT INTO THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL. JACK: Say, that�s pretty�Wait a minute.. from my bedroom, you�ve got to turn right in the library, and then go through the dining room to get to the kitchen.. so how could you do that? ROCH: I�VE GOT A NATURAL SLICE. JACK: Rochester, I don�t care what you�ve got�just leave my golf clubs alone. GIRL: (SEXY) Rochester, honey, hang up that phone and let�s finish the game. JACK: Rochester, who was that? ROCH: MY CADDY. JACK: Now cut that out!.. Rochester, I�ll be home in about an hour.. so you better have dinner ready. ROCH: YES SIR.. GOODBYE. JACK: Goodbye.. ROCH: OH SAY, BOSS.. JACK: Now what? ROCH: THAT CHECK YOU GAVE ME LAST WEEK THAT HAD MY FIRST RAISE IN SALARY BOUNCED. JACK: Oh for heaven�s sakes, what was wrong? Improper signature? ROCH: NO. JACK: Insufficient funds? ROCH: NO. JACK: Then what was wrong? ROCH: THEY JUST WOULDN�T BELIEVE IT. JACK: Oh.. well, we�ll have it notarized, don�t worry�Goodbye. ROCH: GOOOOOODBYYYYYE!

JACK: Yes, Mate, and I don�t know what to do.. Here I am.. the most brilliant captain in the King�s Navy, and I don�t know how to get the boat moving. DON: Captain, I have a suggestion that might help the boat to move. JACK: What is it? DON: Pull up the anchor. JACK: All right, if you think it will help.. (SIGHS) Those poor devils.. breaking their backs to tow the boats.. I feel sorry for them. PHIL: Don�t worry, Captain.. they�re English sailors.. they can take it.
