Well, hello, Mrs. Post.
Hi, Mr. Reeves.
Mr. Post.
Oh, darling, isn't it beautiful?
Isn't that great?
And it's all ours.
Yes, yours and mine and a man from the bank.
Oh, Mr. Post, I know you went a little higher than you figured.
I couldn't help it.
As soon as I saw this place, I fell in love with it.
Well, you're an architect.
You know good, solid construction when you see it.
I certainly do.
Don't I, dear?
Thank you, honey.
Mr. Addison, your next-door neighbor who used to own it, has always kept it in fine shape.
I'm sure he has. Thanks very much, Mr. Reeves, for everything.
Well, thank you. I know you two are going to be very happy here.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Well, shall we go in?
Wilbur, it's our first house.
Aren't you going to carry me over the threshold?
Oh, yes, sure.
Good, solid construction.
Oh, I've got to get the key.
Wilbur, don't put me down. It's bad luck.
Oh.
You better get the key, then. It's in one of my pockets.
Down there.
Wait a minute. I forgot to get it for Mr. Reeves.
Mr. Reeves!
How do you do?
I'm Roger Addison. I live next door.
Oh, I'm just carrying my wife across the threshold.
Well, aren't you going in the wrong direction?
Yes, I am.
Oh, Mr. Reeves!
Would you mind? I won't be long.
Mr. Reeves!
How do you do? I'm Carol Post.
How do you do?
Well, now that we've met, perhaps I'd better put you down.
Oh, no, no, no. You see, it's bad luck.
I got it, honey.
Oh, this way, Mr. Addison.
There we are.
Oh, here.
Oh, how do you do? I'm Wilbur Post.
How do you do?
Won't you come on in?
Not right now. I have the feeling that I might be intruding.
Come on, honey. Let's go look at the rest of our estate.
All 200 feet of it?
Isn't this wonderful? I've never lived in the country before.
Oh, you'll love it.
I lived in a place like this when I was a kid.
Ah-ha! Now there's something you learn on a farm.
A rake lying on the ground. That is dangerous.
Oh, well, sure, if you stepped on it and you bare feet...
No, no, no, no, no. Not bare feet. Not just that.
Well, if you were to step on that, I could come right up and smack you in the face.
Oh, you mean it's dangerous just to do this?
That is dangerous.
Come on, honey. Come on.
I'm sorry.
Well, that's what I was telling you about, honey.
This could be converted into an office for me.
I figured I'd put Skylight up there.
And right next to my drafting table, we could build cabinets.
Carol, look.
A horse. But he wasn't here when we first looked at the place.
Well, maybe he was outside.
How about that? A horse.
Oh, let's get out of here. Get him out of here and do something.
Well, you two certainly are the most affectionate couple I've ever seen.
He tried to bite me.
I suppose that's all right. You're married.
She means the horse.
Him? He doesn't bite. He's just a mangy old nag.
As a matter of fact, that's what I came to tell you about.
You see, the people who rented this house before you bought it owned this horse.
Well, they had to leave in a hurry, and they said you can keep him, you can sell him,
do anything you want with him.
We'll keep him.
Wilbur, of course not. We'll sell him.
No, we'll keep him.
Sell him.
Keep him.
Sell him.
Keep him.
Sell him.
I'm glad to hear you two arguing.
For a moment I was wondering if you were a normal married couple.
Wilbur, come here, honey.
We've gone to a lot of expense to buy this house, and we just can't afford to feed the animal.
Well, okay, I guess you're...
Oh, you see, I'm right. I'll find a horse dealer in the phone book.
Look, I'm sorry, old fellow. I wanted to keep you, but...
Hey, I'm sorry.
I wanted to keep you, but... Hey, do you have any water?
You know, I should never have started cleaning you up.
The better you get to look, the more I want to keep you.
That's that. Let's get started with the feet now, huh?
It's just hot in here.
Should open a window.
Mr. Parker, this is my husband, Mr. Parker.
He's a good man.
He's a good man.
He's a good man.
He's a good man.
Mr. Parker, this is my husband, Wilbur, and that's the horse.
Why didn't you let him guess?
I didn't, Mr. Post.
I think I can take him off your hands for $50.
Honey, you're making a big mistake. This is a very intelligent horse.
We've been all through that, dear. We'll take the $50.
All right.
There you are. Give it to her.
There you are, ma'am. $50. And I think we both made a good deal.
This horse looks to be in pretty good shape.
Goodness, this horse is lame.
Lame?
Lame, huh?
A horse wouldn't be much use to you like that.
A horse that, uh, there's nothing out of place.
Probably just a barn cramp.
Oh, barn cramp, huh?
And of course, if this horse were in real pain, he wouldn't be holding his head so high.
The minute a horse is distressed or off his feet,
first thing you notice, that head goes right down.
Oh, boy, that animal is ailing.
Well, he can't take advantage of the man, honey. Give him his money back.
Oh, honey.
Of course, he can't be, uh, real sick.
If a horse can stand, he's worth $50.
Hmm.
I'll be.
Give me back my $50.
Horse trading is a thieving, conniving, double-crossing business at best.
But this beats all.
Oh, just a minute.
10, 20, 30, 40, 45.
Yeah, it's all here.
Wilbur, what are we going to do now?
Well, honey, if the man doesn't want the horse...
But, honey, how can we take care of him?
Look at him. He's sick.
Maybe the SPCA can help us. I'll go call them.
Hmm.
Harold. Harold.
Can you come over right away?
I'm afraid he's a very sick horse. He's on his back.
Hello. Look, you can forget about it.
The horse is perfectly all right.
Thank you.
Wilbur, what do you mean the horse is all right?
Do you know that horse was only kidding?
Well, he was only pretending to be sick so he could stay with us.
Wilbur, I know you want to keep the horse, but this is ridiculous.
But it's true.
Why do you think I winked back at him?
You winked back at him?
Yeah, well, he winked at me first.
Look, there is nothing wrong with that horse. Look.
All right, Wilbur. All right. You can keep the horse if it means that much to you.
But start making up these fantastic stories.
I love you.
Well, prove it.
Come in.
Aren't you people overdoing this a bit?
She's letting me keep the horse.
Now, what I came over to tell you is this.
That I'm having some neighbors over tomorrow night and I'd like to have you come over and meet them.
Oh, thank you.
We'd be delighted.
If I were you, I'd keep my door closed.
Well, you're going to stay after all. Isn't that great?
Oh, I never thought owning a horse could mean so much to me.
I guess it's because when I was a little boy, I wanted a pony.
Of course, I'm not going to be a pony.
Of course, it's been a long time since I was a little boy.
It's been a long time since I was a pony.
You like that, huh?
Oh, no. That's impossible.
Did you say that?
No. How could you?
Did you say it?
No, I didn't hear it.
How could I?
But I did.
But I did.
Oh, this is impossible. I don't believe it.
Now, while I'm looking right at you, say something.
Like what?
Anything. Anything.
Cow, now. Brown cow.
Cow, cow, cow, cow.
What is it, honey?
Cow, the horse.
Down here, dear.
Cow, the horse.
Horse.
Better sit down, dear.
The horse.
Uh-huh.
He talks.
Grover, I told you you can keep the horse.
Now, I'm going to keep the horse.
I'm going to keep the horse.
I'm going to keep the horse.
I'm going to keep the horse.
Grover, I told you you can keep the horse.
Now, I...
Look, look, I know it sounds fantastic, unbelievable, but it's true.
The horse talks.
I didn't believe it myself at first,
and then I made him say something while I was looking right at him.
What did he say?
How now, brown cow.
The rake. The bump in the head.
Yeah, the rake.
The rake, that's what it was.
How do you feel?
Fine.
Carol.
Carol.
Carol.
Sit down.
Carol, that horse talks.
You've got to go to bed, and I'm going to call the doctor,
and everything will be all right, honey.
Come on with me.
You're going to hear it straight from the horse's mouth.
Wilbur.
Wilbur.
Wilbur.
Wilbur, I'm worried about you.
I'll prove it to you.
You'll see.
All right, say something.
Well, don't just stand there.
Say something.
I know why you won't talk.
You've turned your back on him.
That horse is sensitive.
Carol, will you please turn around?
This whole thing is ridiculous.
Will you please turn around?
All right.
I told you he was sensitive.
I wouldn't believe that horse could talk
if the two of you stood there and sang a duet.
Carol.
Why didn't you talk to my wife?
I hate skeptics.
You make me look like such a fool.
You've got to talk to my wife.
Why did you talk to me?
Because I like you.
This whole thing is fantastic.
I just don't understand it.
Don't try to.
It's bigger than both of us.
I'm going to kill you.
Hello, Mr. Addison.
Oh, hello, Post.
I didn't recognize you without your wife in your arms.
Come in.
Mr. Addison, I'd like to ask you something.
Why, certainly, Post, certainly.
Anything at all.
Oh, a cigar?
No, I haven't got one with me.
No, no, no, Post.
I'm offering you a cigar.
Oh, thank you.
You know, I'm sorry my wife won't be back from New York
in time for the party tomorrow night.
I did want you and your wife to meet her.
Oh, fine.
We'll enjoy seeing her.
Post, I know we're both in the same room,
but I don't think we're in the same world.
Is there something on your mind?
Yes, Mr. Addison, there is.
Well, sit down and tell me about it.
Thank you.
Ah, Mr. Addison,
the man who lived in the house before we did,
um, he rented from you.
Mr. Oldfield.
Yeah.
Did you know him very well?
Oh, yes, indeed. We were very close friends.
Did you ever exchange confidences with him?
Yeah, quite often.
Did he ever tell you about his horse?
No, what about his horse?
Did he ever tell you his horse talked?
Oh, no, Oldfield said a lot of funny things.
Would you repeat that, please?
He didn't say anything about his horse talking.
No.
Did the horse ever say anything?
No.
No.
Did the horse ever talk to you?
He's been talking to me all afternoon.
I just realized, Mr. Addison,
I'm a little tired.
I think perhaps a little rest would do me good.
It might not be a bad idea for you to get some rest, too.
I played 18 holes of golf today,
and that's a little too much for me.
Normally, I only play nine.
I'm a little fatigued.
Mr. Addison, the reason I came over here
is I need your help.
You see, I've got a problem with my wife.
I can't convince her that the horse talks.
I would say that your wife had the problem.
I'm so frustrated.
Is it my neighbor, my wife, my own wife?
I tell them I got a horse that talks,
and they don't believe me.
Why should they?
It's ridiculous.
But you do talk.
Only to you.
Why only to me?
Because you're the only one I ever liked well enough
to talk to a girl.
I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about my wife.
You're the only one I ever liked well enough
to talk to a girl.
Oh, thanks.
Ed.
Ed?
What kind of a name is Ed for a horse?
What kind of a name is Wilbur for a man?
Now, stop gabbing and get me some oats.
I'm starved.
Oh, that's right.
You do need some oats, yeah.
Oh, um, where shall I get them?
Go to Duffy's Feed and Grain store.
Wilbur.
Yes?
They give green stamps.
Oh, honey, let me give you a hand with that.
It's all right.
There we are.
Well, honey, what's wrong?
I had an awful time at the market today.
What happened?
Everybody was talking about the new couple that moved in,
the Posts.
They said that the husband thinks he has a horse that talks.
What did you say?
I said my name was Mrs. Jones.
Oh, honey.
Oh, look, dear, don't worry about it.
These things have a way of clearing themselves up.
I don't know.
Hello, Post.
This is Mr. Addison.
I'm sorry, but the party for tonight is canceled.
Goodbye.
That was Mr. Addison.
The party's been called off.
I knew it.
I just knew it.
Look, Carol.
Carol.
Don't call me Carol.
My name is Mrs. Jones.
I've got to prove it.
This horse took the tape recorder.
That'll do it.
Hi, Wilbur.
Hiya.
What you doing?
Oh, just thought I'd drop in, say hello.
That's nice.
You know, I'm very flattered that I'm the only human being
that you picked on to talk to, old horse.
I'm a little spoiled.
Can I get you some oats or anything, old horse?
Nope, I'm fine.
Can I open the window for you, Mr. Ed?
Nope, leave it closed.
Well, good night, horse.
Good night.
Hey, Wilbur.
What?
Nice gadget you got there.
Oh, yes, yes, it is.
Tape recorder, huh?
Oh, well, yeah, you might call it that, I guess.
Goodbye.
Hey, Wilbur.
What?
How you gonna convince anyone the other voice on that tape is a horse?
Huh?
Oh, oh, this is great.
All because you had to pick on me to talk to.
Millions of people in the whole world, you could...
And you got to pick on me.
Now, everybody thinks I flipped my lid, Carol's heart broken.
All because you pick on me to talk to.
Wilbur, I can get you out of this.
Out?
Phone that real estate man, Reeves.
Reeves?
You tell him what I'm going to tell you.
If I know Reeves, he'll run right to Addison.
Well, then what?
Then your troubles will be over.
Now, listen, Wilbur.
What do you mean Post doesn't want the house?
He bought it, didn't he?
Sure, but he wants to make you give him back the money without asking for it.
That's ridiculous. The man's out of his mind.
That's exactly what he wants you to believe.
That's why he told me the horse talks.
Right. Don't you understand?
That's the oldest trick in the real estate game.
He wants to make us think he's got a screw loose up here.
That way you'll try to get him out of the neighborhood.
I see. Well, he'll never get away with it.
Mr. Addison, you tried to settle this house for a long time.
There were no takers at your price.
You leave it to me, Reeves.
I know how to handle Post.
Carol, will you come downstairs?
No.
Honey, I'll make your lunch.
I'm not hungry.
Honey, there's nothing to worry about.
Mr. Addison just told me how to straighten out this whole mess.
Oh.
Maybe you'd better stay upstairs.
Oh, hello, Mr. Addison.
Hello, Wilbur.
I want you to come on in. Sit down.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
What a pleasant surprise.
My horse just told me a very funny story.
Funniest one I've heard in years.
I'm still laughing about it.
Let me hear it.
Well, these two fellows are at a bar, you see.
And one of them says, give me four martinis.
I know that joke.
You do?
Yeah, my dog told it to me.
Your dog?
Well, your horse told it to my cat,
my cat told it to my dog,
and my dog told it to me.
I like the way things get around.
Wilbur.
Huh?
If I cut $2,000 off the price of the house,
will that make you stay?
Two?
Is it a deal?
It's a deal.
Now, Wilbur, does your horse talk?
No.
Does your dog talk?
No.
Your cat?
Mm-mm.
You know, for a minute, I was a little worried about you.
We're not worried about you.
Oh, and by the way, the party is not canceled.
I'm expecting you and your wife.
Oh, just a minute.
Carol? Carol?
I don't want any lunch.
Honey, Mr. Addison's here.
He's inviting us to the party tonight.
Really?
Wonderful!
Look, not only that, he likes us so much,
he's knocked $2,000 off the price of the house.
Thank you, Mr. Addison.
Oh, Wilbur.
Honey.
Dad.
Dad, you asleep?
Not anymore.
Well, everything worked out fine.
We went to the party, the ladies invited Carol out to lunch.
Wilbur.
Yeah?
Good night.
Well, I haven't finished telling you about Carol.
Good night, Wilbur.
Good night.
People.
Talk, talk, talk.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
Honey, I'll be out in my office.
I promised Mr. Harrison he could look at the sketches tonight.
All right, dear.
Wilbur?
Yeah?
Don't be gone too long, darling, there's a chill in the air.
New perfume, huh?
Mm-hmm, like it?
If you weren't my wife, I'd kiss you.
Wilbur?
What did you buy and how much did it cost?
I'd better not tell you.
You say it's too expensive.
You're right, it's too expensive.
But Wilbur, it's something I really need.
What is it?
Well, it's, uh...
It's, uh...
No, if I told you, I'm sure you'd turn me down.
Maybe I wouldn't.
I'm sure you would.
Well, ask me.
First, promise me you'll say yes.
Oh, no.
That's how you got me to marry you.
Look, let's not play games.
What is it you want?
Well, it's...
It's a, uh...
Oh, no.
I just couldn't stand it if you turned me down.
Wilbur?
It's for you.
Thank you.
Yeah?
I just figured out how we can pay it off in 12 installments.
Pay what off?
Uh...
Oh, you just say no.
Oh, boy.
Women.
You think we'll ever understand them?
Don't try.
Just enjoy them.
Oh, if only I knew what my wife wanted.
And you, if you were more cooperative, I could afford to get her anything.
How's that?
Well, if you would only talk to everybody instead of only to me.
I mean, I could put you on television, clean up a fortune.
Television?
Not me.
I'm a trigger.
He's a very mixed-up horse.
What do you think of these sketches?
Not bad.
I put in plenty of night work on these sketches.
When Addison sees these tomorrow, that country club job is in the bag.
I still say the exterior should be redwood, not stucco.
Besides, he's my next-door neighbor.
How can he possibly turn me down?
Easy.
There's no...
I know I could sell Mr. Addison these plans if only I could be with him when he looked
at them.
Why don't you take him to lunch, hmm?
I don't know him that well.
I mean, I feel funny just inviting him out of the blue, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
You're a chicken.
I don't know, Ed.
Want me to dial?
No, never mind.
Be subtle.
Lead up to that invitation.
I got it.
Yes, dear.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Addison.
This is your neighbor, Wilbur Post.
Hello, Post.
I was wondering...
Want to go for a walk?
Would you like to go for a walk?
Walk?
I'd look rather conspicuous in my pajamas.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Were you sleeping?
Yes, until the phone rang.
Invite him to lunch.
How about lunch?
No, thank you.
I just had dinner.
I mean, tomorrow at the club.
You'll pay.
You'll pay.
You'll pay.
I mean...
It's on me.
I'll pay for my horse.
I mean, I'll pay.
Mr. Addison, I finished those sketches.
I would like to discuss them with you at lunch.
Very well, Post.
Twelve o'clock sharp.
Good night.
Weird fellow.
Addison doll.
Addison doll.
They're having a flower show at the Civic Auditorium.
Baby doll.
Cupcake.
I know you're awake, little faker.
I am not going to any flower show.
I'm in my pajamas and I'm not starting from this couch.
Flower show.
Hi.
Where's Wilbur?
He's outside going over the plans for the new clubhouse.
Oh, that's nice.
My husband's sleeping.
Yours is out working.
Well, that's what keeps married couples together.
Separateness.
Oh, I just love a second television for our bedroom.
How would you get your husband to buy you one?
Easy.
I'd show him the sail slip.
That's the one thing my husband understands.
You've got to be forceful and aggressive.
But I didn't even have the nerve to ask Wilbur.
You want to know the best time to ask him?
Right after a good meal.
A good meal?
Yes, there's only one thing that works.
Stuff him in the morning and skin him at night.
You're just being serious.
I mean it.
Oh, but my husband isn't easy.
I give him tomato juice, he wants orange juice.
I give him orange juice, he wants tomato juice.
What about pineapple juice?
I give him pineapple juice and he'd want papaya juice.
Find out what he likes and give it to him.
If you want that television set.
Are we having company for breakfast?
No, dear.
What would you like?
Orange juice, pineapple juice, grapefruit juice, prune juice, vegetable juice, papaya
juice or our sauerkraut juice?
I'd like orange juice.
Two minute eggs, three minute eggs, four minute eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, coddled
eggs, poached eggs, I'll set his side up.
No eggs, Benedict?
I didn't have room on the tray.
What did you buy and how much did it cost?
Bacon, ham, mixed sausage, breakfast steak, liver, I'll...
Chef Malani, sit down.
Now look, what is this you want?
Coffee, hot chocolate...
Just a minute.
I don't know what you want, but whatever it is, we can't afford it because this breakfast
costs more.
Honey, please.
What is it?
A television set.
What is it?
A television set for the bedroom.
Is that...
Is that what...
Is that all?
You know, for a minute you had me worried.
You mean I can have it?
No.
Honey, look, I just spent a fortune on this house and all this furniture and all this
food.
Oh, look, sweetie.
Come on, let's have a little smile.
Look, dear, I'll tell you what.
I'm going to have lunch with Addison this afternoon.
If I can sell him on the clubhouse, I'll get you the set.
Oh, you're the most wonderful husband in the world.
I'll get a big 24-inch model with remote control and we can both watch the late show through
our toes.
Oh, wait a minute, honey.
Addison hasn't seen the sketches yet and he's not an easy man to sell.
Oh, his wife told me how to handle him.
All you have to do is be forceful and aggressive.
Forceful?
Aggressive?
Me?
Honey, if you want to make this sale, you've got to be aggressive.
Be a pusher.
Oh, honey, let's face it.
I'm not a pusher.
I'm more of a nudger.
Oh, honey, you can do it.
I know you can.
Yeah.
Yeah, I can.
I can be very forceful.
I can be aggressive.
Good.
Now, don't forget, Wilbur, push, don't nudge.
Ed.
Whoops.
How many times have I got to tell you not to listen in on the party line?
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Who was that on the phone?
Mrs. Ferguson.
I heard her say she's going to have another baby.
You mean she's expecting?
Expecting nothing.
She's sure.
You're out of feed.
How about I get you some oats?
No, please.
I'm starting a diet today.
A diet?
Yeah.
Eat like a horse, look like a horse.
Unless you can find me some low-cal hay.
All right.
Wish me luck with Mr. Addison, will you?
One word of advice, Wilbur.
What?
Be a pusher, not a nudger.
Right.
Where did you hear that?
I also listen in at windows.
Hi Addison, old boy.
How's my favorite pigeon?
Hello, Robbins.
We playing golf again tomorrow?
We'll see.
I sure love separating you from that two bucks today.
You're the world's worst loser.
I am not.
You should see yourself paying off a bet.
Your Adam's apple keeps bobbing up and down.
I know how to lose gracefully.
Oh?
Well, I'll give you another chance to be graceful.
I'll bet you two bucks there's less than 12 lumps of sugar in that bowl.
Well?
Oh, how obvious can you be?
You've got it all set up.
I'll wager there are less than 12 lumps of sugar in that bowl.
Okay.
It's a bet.
I'll bet you two bucks there's less than 12 lumps of sugar in that bowl.
Someday I'm going to beat you.
Oh, don't lose that attitude.
That's going to send my boy through school.
And now may I suggest that you run along?
I'm having luncheon with Wilbur Post.
Wilbur Post?
You're not having lunch with him.
I am.
He's bringing over some sketches for the new clubhouse.
You know him?
Oh, very well.
Grew up with him.
Went to school with him.
He's a little dird.
He doesn't have any get up and go, you know what I mean?
Between my wife at home and you at the club, I get pushed around enough.
It'll be quite refreshing to meet someone who is modest and unassuming.
Addison!
Hey, how's wife put her there, huh?
Hey, Harry, how's Mabel?
What do you say, Sam?
Look, I'll talk to you over at the curtain.
Oh, sorry.
I'll put up my bill.
Give yourself a big tip.
Well, how?
What are you, on the building committee?
Wilbur, why don't you, uh, the whole thing?
I'm not sure I can do it.
I'm not sure I can do it.
I'm not sure I can do it.
I'm not sure I can do it.
Give yourself a big tip.
I'm not sure I can do it.
I'm not sure I can do it.
I'm not sure I can do it.
Cheer up, honey.
Try to forget about this afternoon.
This has taught me a lesson.
I'm never going to try to be anything that I'm not.
I've got to accept that once and for all, I'm a 100% 14-carat nudger.
Wilbur, I am not going to sit here and listen to you tear yourself down.
I went through two years of that with my folks.
Well, I was always under the impression that your folks sort of liked me.
Oh, they did.
I mean, they do.
They will.
They're right.
You should never have married me.
Oh, no, honey.
Forget about Addison and his old clubhouse.
You don't need him.
Why, there are lots of men in this town who appreciate your work.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
That Addison.
He gets me so mad.
You know, if he were to walk in here this very minute and get down on his hands and knees
and beg me to do that job, I'd do it.
Oh, honey, it's so good to see you laughing again.
Darling, it's only one job.
I know, but I promised you a TV set.
Oh, forget about the set.
I can wait.
You said you needed it.
There's only one thing I need.
Hello there.
Oh, I envy you two.
You know, Addison and I used to kiss all the time.
Then we got married.
Oh, well.
Did your husband tell you what happened today at lunch?
Um, not too much.
He talked mostly about our house.
Your house?
He wants to sell it.
Oh, now, look, kid, stop worrying.
I've had a little talk with Addison, and he's agreed to look at your sketches.
Wonderful.
I'll take him right over.
Uh, no, you better let me.
He's wearing his best shirt tonight.
Kay, we really appreciate this.
Oh, Kay, you're such a wonderful neighbor.
It means so much to Wilbur, to both of us.
Well, don't get your hopes up.
I'll get Addison to look at these, but I can't guarantee he'll give you the job.
That's good enough for us.
See you later, huh?
Whoop.
You're going to get me in trouble with this eavesdropping habit of yours.
It's wrong to listen to other people's conversations.
They're entitled to their privacy.
Why do you do that?
Compulsion.
Besides, I didn't expect to get caught.
Now, this is the last time I'm going to tell you.
I hope so.
What's so funny?
I heard about your ketchup caper this afternoon.
Where'd you hear about that?
Happened to stroll by Addison's window.
What did he say about me?
Sorry, I don't use that kind of language.
Oh, Mr. Addison.
Good evening, Mrs. Post.
You come in.
Thank you.
I'm so glad to see you.
You're looking well.
Is your husband home?
Yes, I'll go get him.
Oh, Mr. Addison, I'm terribly sorry about what happened this afternoon.
Well, I assure you, Mrs. Post, it is not a memory that I will cherish in my golden years.
Actually, it was all my fault.
You see, I told Wilbur to be aggressive, and I guess he over-diddled it a little.
What?
Over-doodled.
Diddle.
Doodle.
What I mean is that Wilbur isn't like that at all.
He's really quite the opposite.
I'm sure.
Anyway, I've looked over your husband's sketches, and I believe they have possibilities.
Oh, that's wonderful.
He'll be so happy to hear it.
He's in the barn in his workshop.
I'll go get him.
Don't bother.
I'll go and talk to him personally.
Good evening, Mrs. Post.
Oh, Mr. Addison, I'm so happy.
I could just kiss you.
Please, let's not over-doodle it.
I wonder how Mrs. Addison's making out with her husband.
Maybe I should drop over there, you know, ring the bell, and pretend to borrow a cup of sugar.
How corny can you get?
I shouldn't worry about her.
She's got her husband completely buffered.
Buffered?
She's got him stampeded.
He's not such a bad guy.
No, not bad.
Just stuffy.
He's got less personality than a dead mackerel.
He's not such a bad...
Mr. Addison.
The horse.
Please.
What?
Huh?
Mr. Addison, look, I don't want to rush you,
but have you made any decision on the plans for the horse?
I heard... talking?
That wasn't the horse.
I'm a ventriloquist.
A ventriloquist?
That is remarkable.
You didn't even move a muscle.
Mr. Addison, would you believe it if I were to tell you the horse actually talks?
Why, of course not.
I've been a ventriloquist for years.
Fantastic.
Let me see you do that just once more while I'm watching you closely.
I can talk while I drink a glass of water.
Boy, there is more to you than I thought.
I am amazed.
Well, that makes two of us.
Look, Mr. Addison, what are the plans?
Well, we'll discuss this when you drop by my house.
I'd like to have you over there around 9 o'clock.
Fine, fine, I'll be there.
Good.
Ventriloquist.
People will believe anything.
Why don't you acknowledge that I'm a better gin player than you are?
I've beaten you nine straight games.
Yeah, luck, that's all, just plain luck.
It's bound to change sometime.
And oh, it has.
This is the best hand I've had all night.
Hey, wait a minute.
I only have nine cards.
It's a missed deal.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, you don't.
Take another card.
My play.
Gin.
Look, at 50 cents a game, that's $5 you owe me.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll toss you a coin, double or nothing.
No, no, no, no.
To use your expression, this pigeon has had it.
Besides, I'm expecting Wilbur Post.
Wilbur Post?
What do you see in that dud?
Wilbur Post is a very talented young man.
Well, I suppose he's a fairly good architect.
And a very amusing young man.
Amusing?
Wilbur Post happens to be a very fine ventriloquist.
Wilbur Post?
He's lucky to get words out of his own mouth.
Roberts, how much did you beat me for today?
Well, $4 and this 5 makes 9.
Why?
For once, I would like to come out ahead of you.
Would you care to wager $10 that Wilbur Post is a ventriloquist?
Now I've heard everything.
Okay, if your Adam's apple can stand it.
You've got a bet.
Sure, little pigeon, sure.
Wilbur, my boy, come in.
Ah, lovely evening, isn't it?
Hello, Hal.
Oh, hiya, Wilbur.
Say, Addison thinks an awful lot of you.
Oh, he told you about the plans, huh?
Well, that new clubhouse is going to look beautiful.
Never mind that now, Wilbur.
I was just telling Robbins what a great ventriloquist you are.
I am?
Oh, well, no, I wouldn't say I was great.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Well, let's see what you can do.
Give us a demonstration.
Come on, Wilbur. Make your voice come out of this Beethoven statue.
Well, no.
Come on, come on here.
Make your voice come out right here.
Come on, come on, huh?
I've never performed in front of the public.
Never mind the false modesty.
I've made a sizable wager with Robbins that you're a ventriloquist.
And I don't intend to lose it.
Well, I...
We're waiting, Post.
And if you expect to do business with me,
we'd better hear a few words from Beethoven.
I used to remember.
I left the shower running.
I'd better call my wife.
Excuse me.
I'm going to get my...
You'll never learn.
Hello, Carol.
Look, I'm in a spot.
Call me right back and tell me I'm needed at home.
Carol is out.
This is your answering service.
You and that ventriloquist bit.
You got me into a real jam.
If I can't make Addison's Beethoven statue talk,
I'm going to lose the contract.
I left the shower on, but fortunately my wife is in it.
Come on, Post.
I've been waiting for years to win just one bet from this man.
Now, come on.
Throw your voice, won't you, please?
Just once. Once, please, huh?
Mr. Addison, I must tell you the truth.
I'm not really a ventriloquist.
But I heard you.
If you've made some kind of bet, I'll gladly pay it.
I saw you throw your voice in the barn.
In the barn, I'm a ventriloquist.
Come on, fork over the ten bucks.
Don't pay him.
This is Beethoven talking.
He did it! Did you hear him?
He did it there! He did it!
I don't believe it.
Do it again.
Yeah, certainly.
Well, uh, won't you, uh...
Won't you say something else for the nice people, Beethoven?
Please, don't be so formal.
Call me Ludwig.
Oh...
Well...
Whoa...
He's lucky I can talk.
Ed, we did it. We did it.
I got the contract,
and tomorrow I'm gonna buy my wife a television set.
And all because of you. You are wonderful.
That's fine.
Now do me a favor, will ya?
Anything.
I'm gonna buy my wife a television set.
And all because of you. You are wonderful.
Now do me a favor, will ya?
Anything.
What?
When you're watching television,
don't turn on any of those old westerns.
Why not?
I hate to see people sitting on my friends.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
Well, did you find a good movie, honey?
There's a new Japanese picture at the art cinema, Yakimura Samurai.
Oh, I'm not crazy about those foreign pictures.
When they're finished, I'm always five subtitles behind.
Those subtitles in Brigitte Bardot's pictures don't seem to bother you.
You ever heard of Who Reads?
Oh, mouth to teeth.
To me, you are a combination of Brigitte Bardot, Gina Lollobrigida, and Larry Sherry.
Larry Sherry?
Isn't he a baseball pitcher?
Oui, oui.
But like him, you have the wonderful curve.
Oh, okay.
The last time my husband kissed me was New Year's Eve, 1946.
In the dark, he thought I was a cigarette girl.
Wilbur and I are going to a movie tonight.
How about you and Roger joining us?
Oh, Kat, my civic group is meeting tonight, and I'm heading up a new campaign.
Really?
It sounds exciting.
Sweetie, why don't you join my club?
How about coming along tonight?
Oh, I don't think so.
Oh, you go on, honey.
I think women should take an interest in civic affairs.
Right now, our group is fighting for something important, very important.
Anything that helps the community helps the country.
What are you fighting for?
Benches at every bus stop.
Don't elect a woman president.
At least you'll have a few seats in the house.
Wilbur, are you sure you don't mind?
Not at all.
This will give me a great chance to finish up those Whitaker sketches.
Oh, let's go, huh?
Kat, if I do join, can I be on your committee?
Well, do you like Mabel Benson?
Not really.
Then you're on my committee.
How about you and you'll be late?
These westerns, they all look alike to me.
I thought you didn't like westerns.
I'm waiting for Leonard Bernstein.
Well, you'll have to catch Leonard Bernstein some other time.
I have work to do.
Moe, brow.
Hello, Wilbur.
Oh, hi, Roger.
I can't understand why you don't build an office in the house.
How can you work in a barn near this broken down nag?
I have a feeling that horse doesn't like me.
Oh, by the way, your wife dropped by.
She took Carol to a club meeting.
Club meeting?
I hope you'll have a good photograph of your wife.
Why?
You may not be seeing her for years.
But you let your wife join the women's committee for civic improvement.
What is so terrible about that?
Before Kay joined the WCCI, I had a wife.
Now I find I've married a gypsy.
Oh, she doesn't leave you alone that much?
I have to stick pins in a map to keep track of her.
Wilbur, when you let your wife join that group, you became a husband without portfolio.
A married bachelor.
A man in search of a can opener.
Now, wait a minute, Roger.
Carol would never neglect me for anything.
Mark my words.
The only time you'll see her in the kitchen is when she's passing through on her way to
meet the girls.
Now, you just don't know my wife.
Your wife, my wife, they're all alike.
They get married to escape their parents.
Then they join clubs so they can escape their husbands.
Oh, I'm glad you're in, Roger.
Hey, you left it on your television set.
I must have left it on.
You know, you're all wrong about Carol.
You think Carol is different.
I'd say that by tomorrow, your dear little wife is going to be so involved in her civic
duties that you'll be doing the shopping for her.
Care to make a bet on that?
Any amount you want.
Sky's the limit.
How about a dollar?
You got a bet.
That'll be the day when Carol has me pushing around a shopping cart.
Oh, pardon me.
I'd like three tomatoes.
Beef tomatoes.
Kind Mrs. Post gets.
Mrs. Post.
She real fine lady.
You Mr. Post?
Yes.
I'm helping out today.
My wife is sick.
Oh, that's too bad.
I throw in extra tomato for good luck.
Oh, well, thank you very...
I better throw him a stick.
You need something Mr. Post?
Oh, yes.
I dropped a dime.
Oh, I'll help you find it.
I can't...
Hello Sam.
How are the endives today?
Oh, fine.
I see you're shopping again.
Yes, Mrs. Addison has just started a new campaign with her civic group.
Oh, you're going to be with us through watermelon season.
Excuse, just my customer.
Please, if you must squeeze, squeeze apple.
Good morning.
How come you look for dime here when you drop there?
Well, you never know how far money will go these days.
You feel all right Mr. Post?
Oh, hello Mrs. Post.
How come you're out of bed?
What?
Sam, there's a wonderful picture playing at the art cinema.
Yakamura Samurai.
Why don't you go see it?
No, American subtitles too confusing.
Wilbur, why did he ask me what I was doing out of bed?
Oh, he just takes an interest in his customers.
I'm glad you're going to finish the shopping.
Oh, but I'm not Wilbur.
Darling, I'm on my way to an emergency meeting at the WCCI.
So, would you be a darling and take care of these things after you finish your shopping?
Have a car wash, take shoes to repair, pick up laundry.
I hope you don't mind dear.
Well, honey.
Oh, thanks honey.
I believe the wage here was for $1.
Thank you little mother.
Whoops.
Why do you insist on eavesdropping?
You haven't been around for three days.
I'm lonesome.
I've been busy.
Doing what?
Keeping house?
What's wrong with a man helping out his wife?
Nothing Wilma.
Wilma, Wilbur.
Ted, I admit I have been neglecting you, but really, these committee meetings at Carroll
will be all finished with in about two weeks.
Maybe.
If you were a real man, she'd stay home nights.
Are you suggesting that Carroll is losing interest in me?
If the horseshoe fits.
What am I doing wrong?
Nothing.
That's what's wrong.
Maybe I have been taking Carroll for granted.
After a man's been married for a few years, he stops showering his wife with these little
attentions.
And then, before you know it, strange cigarettes in the ashtray.
Still, I can't remember the last time I brought Carroll anything like, well, like little things.
Like flowers.
Or perfumes.
Or candles.
Or even taker dancing.
Stop jumping up and down.
You're making me dizzy.
I'm not giving up.
No sir.
Boy, am I glad I remained a bachelor.
Honey, I've got so much work to do.
Can I help you?
Would you like to hear my speech?
Love it.
Madam Chairman.
Beautiful, beautiful.
You may get a prize for this.
Oh, Wilbur, they're lovely.
What's the occasion?
You're my wife and I love you.
Now listen, Madam Chairman, it is with pleasure that I report to you tonight that, honey,
that the funds for the benches at every bus stop...
Wilbur, let me finish my speech.
Go ahead, I'm listening.
Carroll?
Very sorely, long number.
Very sorely, long number.
Honey, you should have let me talk to her.
It might be something important.
You're a devil when there's fire in your eyes.
Maybe I'd better call a bath.
Come here, you jezebel.
Wilbur, what's happening?
What's gotten into you?
This is the real me.
Ardent, impetuous, irresistible.
Yes, just like a great woman.
Don't you two ever fight?
I can't.
Very sorely, long number.
You know, when you said it the second time, your voice fooled me completely.
Oh, probably an echo.
We've been getting a lot of that in the party line.
Still, I don't mind as long as they don't double our phone bill.
Oh, Carroll, I've got good news.
We just got a big contribution from Mrs. Harding for our bus bench drive.
Oh, how wonderful.
Who's Mrs. Harding?
Her husband manufactures bus benches.
Now, there is a coincidence.
Carroll, you know what this means.
With the added money, we can keep our campaign going for months and months.
Isn't that great?
And, Carroll, you know, we're all gonna have to pitch in and work twice as hard, maybe
three, four nights a week.
Get about the club, honey.
You know you can count on me, Ken.
Did you finish the correspondence, dear?
All we have to do is stamp them and mail them.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Cost $5.
They are divine.
Honey, this is your husband talking.
Oh, heavens, we haven't made up our mind about that yet.
I'm going upstairs now, honey.
Oh, we'll just have to call another emergency meeting.
I'm gonna look upstairs and throw myself out of the window.
How about Mabel Benson?
I think that's pretty good.
We can get some bar food for a change.
That's marvelous.
Now, listen, you've got to know.
I'm gonna dig my heels out, honey, I ain't never gonna come home.
Oh, god!
Hello?
Is Carol there?
Belle et Salle.
Long number.
Get off the phone.
Is this Carol Post's house?
Yes, it is Mr. Post.
This is Mabel Benson.
Oh, Mabel, well, my wife left a message for you.
You are to pick up some stationery at Joanne's.
Or Agnes'.
Or Linda's.
I vote for Agnes.
Get off the phone.
Who are you talking to?
Would you believe it's a horse?
Mr. Post, isn't it rather early in the morning to be hitting the bottle?
Hello?
He hung up on us.
To quote my own immortal words, a man in search of a can opener.
Oh, Lord.
I just got busy with these sketches, so I picked up a sandwich at Hofmeyer's Delicatessen.
Anything wrong with that?
No.
Only I have the feeling that for the next six months, you're going to be seeing more
of Hofmeyer than you do of your wife.
How about that?
You know, it's quite ironic when you think of it.
Our wives out fighting for benches at bus stops.
My wife's never been on a bus in her life.
The club is doing some good, isn't it?
Good.
Two years ago, those women put up a fight to save a park statue that even the pigeons
didn't want.
Still, I'm not going to beg Carol to give up the club.
I mean, if she wants to quit, she can do it of her own will and accord.
I can see you now celebrating your golden anniversary with Hofmeyer.
To fill in all those empty years ahead, I would suggest you take up a hobby.
Perhaps butterfly mounting, stamp collecting, painting, taxidermy.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold it, hold it.
What?
You got it.
Got what?
I'm going to take up a hobby.
Yeah, what, what?
Painting.
You want to paint in the kitchen?
Taking up painting will get Carol back in the kitchen?
Yeah, well, it will the way I'm going to do it.
Now, see, I've got an easel here.
I just need to get some canvas, some paints.
Do you think that's enough food?
Is Mabel Benson coming?
Uh-huh.
Then you haven't got enough.
She's the only one I know who starts with seconds.
Hello, girls.
Is it Halloween already?
What in the world are you doing in that outfit?
Haven't you ever seen an artist before?
Did you get enough air in that bun?
I thought I would take up a hobby as long as you were busy with your club meetings.
Oh, I think that's wonderful, honey.
Tonight I'm going to do a picture of Mr. Ed.
Well, do a good job.
If it comes out nice, he may order a half a dozen.
Oh, I must have got that mouth on canvas.
Oh, there are the girls.
Well, good luck with your bus benches.
I shouldn't have done that, you know.
I may never paint again.
Ed, what are you doing?
Cut off my ear and call me Van Gogh.
What are you doing with my canvas?
Ed, I'm sorry.
I know I've been neglecting you lately, but it won't be for long.
As you all know, our campaign to get bus benches on every corner is rapidly gaining momentum.
The reason for this meeting is to find an appropriate slogan.
Oh, I've got one.
A bench is a place for people to meet.
It's also a wonderful place to eat.
How about this one?
Excuse me.
Sit and leave your trouble.
Hello, I'm Jane Parker.
Mr. Post is expecting me.
He is?
Yes, I'm modeling for him.
But I thought he was painting his horse.
He is.
I'll be sitting on it.
We're doing Lady Godiva.
Where is your husband's studio?
It's that building in the rear, right off the patio.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, Ed, stop being so stubborn.
Nobody's sitting on my back.
You can talk.
You tell it to the model.
I only talk to you and dumb animals.
Very funny.
Very funny.
I'm Jane Parker.
Oh, how do you do?
I'm Wilbur Post.
Didn't you bring your costume?
Sure, it's in here.
Well, you can get changed in here.
I'll be outside.
I'm painting you by moonlight.
How are you?
Oh, did, um, did my wife say anything to you?
No, she just seemed a bit surprised.
Good.
Just a minute.
Here he comes.
It is therefore resolved that the Women's Committee for Civic Improvement...
Pardon me, girls.
Do you mind if I steal these olives?
Are you having martinis?
No.
Janey just had a yen for olives.
Hello, Wilbur.
Oh, hi, Roger.
What are you doing out here?
Well, this is part of my plan to get Carol back in the kitchen.
By painting your horse?
That's ridiculous.
Well, I'm ready.
Oh, this is Mr. Addison, my neighbor.
This is Miss Parker, my mother.
May I split a canvas with you?
Why, it's Roger.
Hello, dear.
I just dropped in for a tray of ice cubes.
Girls, meeting adjourned.
I think I better put Picasso to bed.
Now relax, my dear.
Now smile.
Show me those beautiful teeth.
Not you, Ed.
I beg your pardon?
Oh, nothing.
Just smile, my dear.
Hi, dear.
Hello, honey.
Now let's see those lovely dimples.
That's wonderful.
Darling, it was getting a little chilly,
and I thought maybe Miss Parker would like to borrow my sweater.
No, thank you.
I'm very warm-blooded.
Now, Janie, my dear, lift the knee just a little.
That's it. That's it.
Wilbur?
Yes, dear?
How long do you think it's going to take you to finish this picture?
A few weeks, a few months.
Rembrandt never punched a time clock, you know.
Guess what?
I just resigned from my club.
You did?
Uh-huh.
It was taking up too much of my time.
Well, you know best, dear.
Hey, what do you think?
Not very good.
It's terrible.
All right.
Better take up another hobby.
I think that's a wonderful idea.
That'll be all, Miss Parker.
Wilbur?
Hmm?
What hobby are you going to take up next?
That's a nice hobby.
Ed, Carol and I are going dancing, so I thought...
Ed, what in the world are you doing in that beret?
I got a little filly coming over for a sitting.
This has been a Filmways television presentation.
Thank you.

Hello. I'm Mr. Red.
Wilbur?
Good for you.
Thanks, Dad.
Hello?
Can you come in for a minute?
The vacuum cleaner's stuck.
Be right over, honey.
Oh, sweetheart, give me a little kiss.
Sickening.
Wilbur?
Hi, Roger.
Have you any plans for the weekend?
Just work. Why?
According to this fishing report, the marlin are running wild at Ensenada.
They say they're practically leaping into the boat.
Yeah. They must be using Mexican jumping beans for bait.
What do you say?
Tomorrow morning we pack our fishing gear and in a few hours we'll be south of the border.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha.
I'll tell Carol to get packed.
Oh, no, wait a minute, wait a minute. This trip is for men only.
What, you mean you want to leave Kay and Carol at home?
Exactly. We don't need our wives. We'll have the marlin, and they talk less.
The trouble with you is you're henpecked.
I am not.
I wear the pants in my family.
That's the spirit, and be firm.
Right. See you later, Roger.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha.
Ed.
Ed, I can't take you with us.
You heard Mr. Addison. This trip is for men only.
What do I look like, a girl?
Ed, it's impossible.
You're leaving me alone on my birthday?
Your birthday?
Yep.
Seven years ago, that old vet slapped me on the back and said to my father,
Congratulations, it's a boy.
Seven years old, huh?
You know, you don't look more than five and a half.
I try to stay in shape.
What time do we leave?
Look, Ed, we'll discuss it later. Carol's waiting for me.
Wilbur.
Yeah?
Be firm. Just us men.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha.
Carol, I had a talk with Roger Addison.
Honey, when you get that out, will you please put this extension in?
I have to vacuum those drapes.
Yes. He showed me this newspaper article.
You got it loose yet?
Oh, no. It's a very exciting article.
They're leaping into the boat at Ensenada. Marlon, I mean.
Marlon, honey, will you please listen to me?
Why, yes, dear. What is it?
Well, the...
Yes?
Can I help you with the drapes?
Oh, you're so sweet.
You know, honey, I've been working pretty hard lately,
and I thought it isn't good for a fellow to all work and no play,
and I thought perhaps maybe I could...
Honey, be careful!
Yeah, well, as I said, I've been working kind of hard lately, and I...
I'll get the hammer so you can fix the rod.
I thought perhaps...
Operator?
Would you please test my phone?
Yeah.
Yes, will you ring... Will you ring State 1-1781?
Right away. Thank you.
Here, dear.
Oh, thank you.
Now what were you saying, dear?
Who, me? I wasn't saying anything.
I'll get it, honey.
Hello?
Hello?
Oh, yes! Hello, Roger.
It's Roger Addison.
Hello, Roger.
Huh?
Three days?
Ensenada?
Oh, sure, I love to go fishing.
Just us men, huh?
Well, I don't know, Roger. I hate to leave Carol alone.
Oh, no, you're wrong about that, Roger.
If I were to ask Carol, I know she'd let me go in a minute.
Huh?
They're leaping into the boat, huh?
Roger.
Well, I'll talk to Carol.
Wilbur, who are you talking to?
Must have been some practical joker.
He certainly sounded like you.
I guess he has a twin brother. Have you?
Gee, Carol, I'm leaving tomorrow morning on a three-day fishing trip.
Your husband would like to accompany me, but he hasn't the nerve to ask you.
Oh, well, for heaven's sake, is that all?
Honey, of course you can go.
You'd let me go alone?
If you'd like to.
But I'll miss you.
Well, it was your idea.
You didn't say you wanted to go alone.
You never asked me.
Well, you could have suggested it.
But I thought you wanted to go alone with Roger.
Look, Carol, I did not marry you to go on trips with this man.
Wilbur, don't raise your voice to me.
Carol, you're fighting me. Your place is with your husband.
But, dear...
Legally, you haven't got a leg to stand on.
Wherever the husband goes, the wife has to go.
Right, Roger?
You tell him.
Oh, here's my darling breadwinner.
Addison, would you mind driving me to...
Kay, guess what?
The boys want us to go along with them to Ensenada.
No.
Why, Addison doll, whatever made you change your mind?
It seemed as illegal for a husband to catch a fish unless accompanied by his wife.
Ensenada, what a lovely idea.
Honey, we'd better start shopping right away.
We've got no time to lose.
Right, I've got a million things to do.
You'd better find a place for Mr. Ed to stay while we're gone.
What do you mean?
Since you're not married to the horse, I don't believe you're legally obligated to include him on the trip.
Well, I thought we could hitch a trailer to the car and take him along with us.
Oh, good thinking.
Then if you boys get tired, the horse can take his turn at the wheel.
Darling, we can put him in a stable.
Put Mr. Ed in a stable?
He's too big for a kennel.
Darling, don't look so worried.
There must be a good place around.
But I mean, it would break his heart.
Tomorrow's his birthday.
His birth...
His birthday.
How do you know?
We...
I think it said so on his papers.
So it's his birthday.
We could send him a singing telegram from Ensenada.
Let's go, Carol. Those dress racks are calling.
Darling, would you mind putting away those things and fixing the drapes?
I just hate to shop in a hurry.
What's the difference? Buy now, return later.
Listen, it'll only take me a minute to change. Come on up with me.
All right, dear. Stay out here. The water's very warm in Ensenada.
Ed, you better sit down.
Uh-uh. Here comes the snow job.
Ed, I can't take you along.
That's nice.
You'll be having a ball in Mexico while I stand around here twiddling my hoofs.
Ed, I'm not gonna leave you alone.
What are you gonna do? Get me a horse sitter?
Oh, be sensible.
What fun would a horse have sitting around watching people fish?
What fun do people have watching horses run?
Well, you're such a great talker. Why don't you talk to Carol about coming along?
Try her again, will you?
All right. Soon she gets back from shopping.
Muchos gracias, amigo.
Uh-oh.
I just bought this one dress. All these are Kay's.
Yes, and that's just what I could carry. The rest I'm having delivered.
Kay, you better rush back to the store.
Why?
You forgot to get snowshoes in case there's a blizzard.
Oh, fooling. What are you gonna do with all these things?
No problem. I'm running a sale on Monday.
I think I'll wear the brown belt with this. What do you think?
Maybe.
I'm worried about leaving Ed.
Oh, he'll be fine.
It would break your heart to see Ed. He feels terrible about being left behind.
That's silly. You're just imagining things.
Who ever heard of taking a horse along on a fishing trip?
Carol, Ed wouldn't be any trouble.
Wilbur, I'm beginning to think you're using Mr. Ed as an excuse.
Excuse?
To make me stay at home.
You're sorry you asked me to come along. Why did you say so?
Carol.
Oh, well.
There's no sense in watching you two fight. I may as well go home and start my own.
You know, Ed, I've been thinking about Mexico.
With this change of climate, you're gonna feel real lobey.
Then there's the difference in the food, you know, and the water, and the altitude.
Maybe you should reconsider.
I can see the handwriting on the wall.
Look, Ed, I tried, but Carol just doesn't want you to come along.
Okay. Leave me alone on my birthday.
Ed, pull yourself together. It's only for three days.
Besides, Carol started to cry. When I see tears, I just can't say no.
Ed, don't.
Okay, Ed, you're going.
Anything she can do, I can do better.
You can pick up some new handbags in Ensenada.
Mm-hmm, that's right. Oh, sure.
All right. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Yes, dear? Just a minute, Kay.
Honey, I was just out in the barn, and if you could see Ed, it tears your heart out.
No, no, don't cry. He's gonna stay.
He wanted to take that horse to Ensenada again.
Oh, these men will try to get away with anything.
I guess I'll just have to try again.
So, I got the axe again, huh?
I have asked you not to listen in on that phone.
You don't like me.
Oh, stop saying that.
I might as well go to work in a kiddie park.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Those kids will ride me, kick me, beat me, but what do you care?
Ed, be reasonable. If I have to pick between you and Carol, you know what my decision has to be.
Yep, just break it to her gently.
Ed, I'm gonna have to board you in a stable for a few days.
Do anything you want. I don't care.
Oh, now I don't know what to do.
Can I help you?
Yes, my name is Post. I phoned Mr. Kramer about boarding my horse here.
Why, Mr. Kramer, how long do you want to leave?
Well...
Well, um, I'd like to leave him here for three days.
All right, I think we can arrange that.
I'll pick him up Sunday night. What time's...
What are we whispering about?
The horse feels terrible about coming here. This is his first time away from home.
Oh, God, don't worry it. We got some horses that's been here for months.
No!
I'd like to leave him here for just three days. Three short days.
Has he been fed?
No, he's on a hunger strike today.
Just leave the horse here. We'll take care of him.
Come on, Ed, it's only for three days.
Post, we've got more stuff in here than you can get in the average freight car.
Most of your wife's.
Wilbur, do you mind if I sit in the car with the rest of the group?
I can't have you blocking the license plate for me.
I told the girls we wouldn't have room for all these suitcases.
I didn't think we'd be able to squeeze it all in.
Well, this is it.
Sweetie, don't forget to close the door.
Can you fit these in, dear?
Look, if I squeeze all that stuff in, I'll have to drive from the glove compartment.
Ladies, we're only going away for the weekend. We're not fleeing the country.
It's our fault you men don't know how to pack a car.
Do you girls have any suggestions?
I have. Here, put all the stuff in the back seat, Wilbur.
There you go. Now, Addison, you take the rest of the bags.
Carol, dear, look out so Wilbur can get them in there. There you go.
Don't crash the car. Yes, in the back seat, please.
Out there. Oh, there's plenty of room in there.
Now then, Wilbur, get right into the driver's seat, just easy as pie.
Here you go.
Do you really think this is going to work?
Oh, certainly. I've done it a million times.
Get right in there next to Wilbur.
Take them out and out of the mold.
There you see, dear, nothing to it.
I'll just stand here and wave as you drive away.
Oh, I'm sorry, dear. Come on, get in. Now, squeeze over, everybody.
Come on, now. We've got lots of...
Oh, Wilbur. I know. That blue bag in the back can go.
Wait a minute. You picked on the one valise containing my things.
Well, it only has fishing clothes in it. Can't you catch fish in your slacks?
Yes. Or we can go fishing at night and catch them in our pajamas.
I have the perfect solution. What?
Send the bags to Ensenada and we'll stay here.
Come on, let's be sensible. We've got too much stuff in this car.
This can go.
This radio can go.
This bag...
That stays.
That's our phone, honey. Where did you pack it?
Never mind, I'll get it.
Let's compromise. Supposing we leave just a couple of things behind.
Right. Two wives.
Hello.
Mr. Post? Yes?
Got some bad news. Your horse is missing.
Missing? What happened?
I think he's been stolen. Just before he disappeared, I heard a voice in his stall.
Oh, I don't know. Something about a kiddie park.
No, I didn't see anybody around. That's what makes it so peculiar.
He told me he'd run off to a kiddie park.
Do you see my little black bag?
Your black bag? There are 75 bags in there.
Right behind there. I'm awful sorry.
I'm going to the kiddie park.
Well, that's one way to settle the packing problem.
Did he say kiddie park?
He said, like they say, men are little boys at heart.
Ed! Ed, it's me!
Hmm.
Hold it, Mac. You can't go out there.
That's my horse. He ran away from home.
What are you talking about?
He's mine. Don't believe what he tells you.
Wait a minute.
That horse has been here ever since I came to...
Who told me?
Excuse me. I'll be back in a minute.
You looking for trouble, Mac?
I've got to get out there.
Only riders are allowed out on the tracks, eh?
How much for a ride?
15 cents, four for a half.
Wait a minute. I get it.
This is a hidden camera show. We're on TV, right?
Where's the camera?
Where'd you hide it?
Boy, you had me fooled for a minute.
Where's the camera?
Hiya, honey. Hiya, Davey boy. This is Daddy.
Where'd you hide the microphone?
Under your lapel.
Four rides on that pony, please.
Oh, I beg your pardon, madam. That's my pony. I was here first.
Wait a minute, mister. I was here before you.
No, no, you see, I was talking to the ticket taker when you came up.
You ought to have numbers, like in the butcher shop.
How long is your child going to ride?
Excuse me.
Are you going to ride that pony?
Just for a minute. I only bought one ticket.
What's the matter, mister? A big man like you riding a pony?
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you big...
Madam, please. You're on television.
Television?
Hidden camera.
No.
Where's the camera? Oh, this is exciting.
Oh, are they going to give away prizes?
Oh, hello.
Mother, are you watching?
Oh, I have to clean you up. We're on television.
Say hello to Grandma.
Come on, faster. Catch that big horse. Come on, let's go.
Kid, you shouldn't have run away.
Get away from me, boy, you bugger.
Listen, kid, you knew I tried to get Carol to change her mind.
I wouldn't go now if you're big.
Who does he want you to go?
Ensenada.
Oh?
I thought you didn't talk in front of anybody but me.
How come you talk to a kid?
Who believes kids anyway?
Follow that big horse. Come on, let's go.
Come on, let's go. Come on, let's go. Hurry up. Come on.
Get it. Get it. Get it.
Come on, come on. Ed.
Ed, will you please listen to me?
Ed, you win. You are going to Ensenada, okay?
Will you put that in writing?
I solemnly swear to you, I will not go to Ensenada.
Okay? Will you put that in writing?
I solemnly swear.
Check.
Ed, where is Ensenada?
Mexico.
Oh?
Are you coming home now, Ed?
Si, senor.
Well, did you have a good time?
Mommy, that horse talks.
What?
He said he didn't want to go to Mexico.
The horse said that?
Uh-huh.
Children, where do they get those imaginations?
Wilbur.
Carol.
Ensenada.
What's Mr. Ed doing here?
He ran away.
Don't tell me he wanted to visit his relatives on the merry-go-round.
By the time we get to Mexico, our clothes will be out of style.
You better take Mr. Ed back to the stable, honey.
Carol, Ed is going with us.
And if you feel like crying, be my guest.
All right, honey. You win.
Excuse us.
Back to the car.
Now are you all comfy back there?
Hurry, Wilbur.
Just a minute, dear.
Happy birthday, Ed.
Thanks, amigo. Thanks.
Now, make a wish and blow out the candle.
Happy birthday, Ed.

Hello. I'm Mr. Red.
Morning, Wilbur. Ed, isn't this a beautiful morning?
Only for people. What are you so grouchy about?
Didn't sleep a wink last night. What kept you up?
The smoke from your barbecue. What bothered you, huh?
No. That's too bad. Still, we've got to use the barbecue.
Wanna bet? Hello.
Wilbur? It's that fussy Mr. Goodwin again.
Thanks, Ed. Good morning, Mr. Goodwin.
Wilbur, I've been thinking it might be a good idea to put the fireplace in the den after all.
Fine, but yesterday you told me that... I changed my mind.
My wife wants the fireplace. All right. It's your money, Mr. Goodwin.
Goodbye. That Goodwin. His wife says one thing, he jumps.
Wilbur? Coming, honey. Hey, Wilbur.
Yeah? You're not a bad jumper yourself.
There you go.
One morning, just one morning, I'd like to see go past without trouble from that mischievous horse.
Honey, you can't blame Mr. Ed for everything. I mean, this could have been done by a stray cat.
Well, it must have been some cat to kick over a barbecue and leave hoof prints all over it.
Wilbur, that horse is becoming destructive. Maybe we ought to get rid of him.
Honey, you can't blame Ed. I mean, maybe the smoke kept him awake all night.
He said it gave him quite... I mean, you can tell by his cough.
Wilbur, you never ride him. He doesn't do any work for us. Why are we keeping him?
Well, he came with the house.
Oh, I suppose if termites came with the house, you'd want to keep them too.
Only the friendly ones.
If you must keep him, at least tie him up so he won't go wandering about the place destroying things.
I'll do it right now.
Now, Ed, look, I just saw that barbecue. I'm going to have to tie you up.
But that's slavery. You know, we fought a war.
Ed, please.
Four score and seven...
Well, it's about time you got a little sunshine.
Wilbur, have you tied Mr. Ed up yet?
What a silly question. How's your vegetable garden doing, honey?
Oh, honey, I'm so thrilled with it.
Just imagine, I put a little seed in the ground and up come those beautiful tomatoes.
It's a miracle of nature.
Yeah? Especially when you planted radishes.
No kidding. That garden has cost me $62.
Don't you think that you could whip up a couple of those tomatoes in a salad tonight?
Eat my tomatoes.
Honey, don't look at me as though I were a cannibal. We've got to eat them sometime.
Wilbur, let's not eat those tomatoes just yet, huh?
What are you going to do, make lamps out of them?
Mmm.
What you thinking about, honey?
My spring onion. It should have been up by now. What do you think it needs?
Another spring onion.
So, you know, this garden of yours has cost me a fortune.
What are you going to show for it?
Three radishes, four tomatoes, and a spring onion that can't make up its mind.
You're a big help.
Hey, scratch my back.
Hi, Luther Burbank.
Hi, Kate.
Guess what? Addison's surprising me with a gorgeous mink stole.
Oh, what's the occasion?
My anniversary.
Is it today?
Well, not exactly. It's eight months from now.
Eight months?
As a matter of fact, he doesn't even know he's buying me the stole.
That's the surprise.
Yes.
Well, I'm going to have to ask him to come downtown with me and help me pick it out.
Kate, can we go a little later this afternoon?
Oh, I have to finish shopping by three.
Why three?
By that time, the banks are closed and my husband's helpless.
Come on, put that thing down. Hurry up. Hurry up.
Oh, hello, Roger.
How are you today?
Not so good.
During the night, someone demolished my barbecue.
And there's been a stray cat around the neighborhood.
Stray dog?
Try old plug.
I'm awfully sorry about your barbecue, Roger.
I'll take it.
Hello?
Yes, he's here. Just a minute.
It's your wife.
My wife?
Oh, thanks.
Yes, Kate?
Are you wearing your sweater, darling?
Yes, I am.
Keep it buttoned.
I don't want you catching cold, pudding pie.
Pudding pie.
She's setting me up for something. I can feel it in my wallet.
Just because a wife is nice to her husband doesn't mean she wants anything.
Post, how long have you been married?
Three years.
I put in 21 years.
Take my advice.
When your wife begins to act unnaturally kind, kiss her.
But don't take your hands out of your pockets.
Roger, did it ever occur to you that Kate is being nice to you because she loves you?
That horse seems to have more sense than you have.
But in the future, just keep him away from my house.
Ed, I'm ashamed of you.
Why did you destroy our neighbor's barbecue?
Well, what have you got to say for yourself?
I'm not saying a word until I hear from my lawyer.
Well, I'm going to lock you in your stall until you've learned your lesson.
No, I've got a better idea.
You're going to go without your lunch today.
Well, aren't you going to say anything?
Time doesn't pay.
Go without my lunch?
Not while there's a garden full of vegetables.
Hey, Ed!
What are you doing?
Blocking my plants, darling.
Mr. Ed, Carol's garden is completely ruined.
Those crows will eat anything.
It was you who ate them.
Me?
Then whose hoof prints are those?
So far, that's pretty flimsy evidence.
Why did you do it, Ed?
You took away my oats.
I was hungry.
When Carol finds out you wrecked her garden, she'll insist on getting rid of you.
What are you going to do about it, Wilbur?
Me?
You could cover up for an old pal.
What do you suggest?
Run down to the market.
Buy a few vegetables to stick back into the ground.
Pretty sneaky.
Yeah, I thought you'd like it.
I'll give it a try.
Why do I do these things for you?
Because we like each other.
Get going.
Yeah.
Boy, I got out of that one pretty neatly.
Hi, Roger.
Hello, Wilbur.
Don't tell me you're planting vegetables in the hope seeds will come up.
Oh, if you'll excuse me, I'm in a jam.
Have you seen my wife?
She and my checkbook seem to have gone out together.
Well, I think she went shopping with my wife.
Then she'll be returning soon.
Yeah, the banks have just closed.
Wilbur, I don't think you're well.
Ed, she's here.
Thanks, Carol.
It's a lovely stove, Kay, and I know you'll look just beautiful in it.
Well, I hope Addison will think so.
When are you going to show it to him?
I may have to break it to him gently.
Maybe I'll just wear the box for a couple of days.
Thanks a lot, Carol, for going with me.
Well, happy anniversary, whenever it is.
Kay, good luck.
I'll need it.
Uh-oh, here she comes.
Relax, Wilbur.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh!
Hello, Wilbur.
Carol, oh, darling.
Sweetheart.
Why, what have we here?
Don't you recognize the vegetables from my garden?
Yes, they're beautiful.
Aren't they?
You know, this is the most amazing tomato I ever grew.
Really?
It grew without a stem, upside down, and all tied up.
Nature is wonderful.
And just look at these radishes.
Oh, those are lovely radishes.
You should win a prize with those.
I should.
You see, I planted red radishes and white ones came up.
Wilbur, what happened to my beautiful garden?
Honey, it was an accident.
It was that horse again, and now don't you try to cover up for him.
It was all my fault.
You see, I took his oats away, and he was very hungry.
He promised he'd never do it again.
He promised?
What I mean is you could tell by the look on his face that he was sorry.
You're always alibiing for him.
Sometimes I think you love that horse more than you do me.
Just a minute.
And if he could cook, I'd be without a job.
You would not.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, if you love that horse so much, you could sleep in the barn with him.
Carol, you don't mean that.
Oh, yes, I do.
And for your sake, I hope your friend doesn't snort.
Whoa!
Buddy boy.
What do you want?
So it won't be a total loss.
Pass me those vegetables, hmm?
Hmm?
Carol thinks I'm going to call her and apologize.
She's mistaken.
Uh, Wilbur, next time get my pizza pie with anchovies.
You know, just between the two of us, Carol is perfectly justified in being angry with you.
You had no right to eat her vegetables.
Look who's talking.
You stuck those vegetables in the ground, not me.
Andre.
Sit, I'll get it.
Never mind.
Hello, honey.
This is Mr. Goodwin again.
Oh.
All right, I'll put the fireplace back, Mr. Goodwin.
Goodbye.
You know, maybe I ought to call Carol.
Wilbur.
You're right.
Any woman who would allow her husband to sleep in a broken-down stable...
Please, you're talking about our home.
Come in, honey.
Please, you're talking to your next-door neighbor.
Somebody here?
No, I was just talking to myself.
Oh.
I understand you're going to be sleeping in the stable tonight.
Oh, news gets around quick, doesn't it?
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
I've got work to do.
Besides, this isn't really a stable, this is my office.
Oh, sure, sure.
And I see you've engaged a secretary to take short-hand.
Mr. Ed.
My boy, do you know where you made your first mistake?
Getting married?
No.
There's nothing wrong with marriage, provided there is just one in the family who wears the pants.
I'll take it.
Excuse me.
Hello, honey.
Oh, no, Wilbur, this is Kay.
Is Addison there?
Yes.
Your pants is on the phone.
Yes, dear.
Doll, will you please hurry home?
I just baked a special cake for you.
I'll be there.
Baked a cake, huh?
She must have bought something really expensive.
If there's whipped cream on it, I'm bankrupt.
Just one more piece of cake, Addison doll.
Really, Kay, three pieces are sufficient.
Oh, but Addison, I...
Well, shall we have the ice cream now or later?
Later.
All right, sweet.
Now, let mother make you comfy.
Here, I'll put this nice pillow behind you.
Now, lay back, you've had a hard day.
Here's the evening paper for you.
Thank you.
Isn't that nice?
Nice.
Now, just you relax, dear.
Relax, dear.
It goes back in the morning.
You could at least look at it.
Beautiful.
It still goes back in the morning.
I'm keeping it.
Oh, is it going to be one of those nights?
Am I losing the ice cream, too?
I'm keeping the stole.
Over my dead checkbook.
Oh, now, Addison, be fair.
Did I raise a fuss when you went out last week and squandered a fortune?
I bought a pair of socks for $2.
That doesn't answer my question.
Did I raise a fuss?
That stole goes back in the morning.
If it does, it will have to walk by itself.
Are you going to let me have some peace tonight, or must I find somewhere else to stay?
Say, Wilbur, is this animal going to sleep in here with us?
Yeah, he's paid up till the end of the month.
Besides, maybe we can learn a few things from him.
He's the only one around here who hasn't been kicked out by his wife.
I'm afraid this couch is too narrow for both of us.
You know, I toss a little in my sleep.
Oh, I toss, too.
Well, look, you take the couch.
I'll get something for myself from the patio.
Oh, Wilbur, I'm sorry to put you to so much trouble.
Oh, forget it.
And look at it this way.
You haven't lost a wife.
You've gained a stablemate.
Oh, yeah.
Stablemate.
Well, did you get those with chop suey?
They happen to be a gift from Kay.
Is that what started the fight?
No, our little tiff revolved around a mink stole my dear wife purchased this afternoon.
Oh, is that why she was buttering you up all day?
This was more of a lubrication job.
Take heed, folks.
Females are tricky creatures.
They don't have teeth but fangs.
Not nails but claws.
And instead of a heart, a charger plate.
If you feel that way about women, why did you get married?
Man does not live by bread alone.
Come on, admit it.
You know you're crazy about your wife.
Of course I am, but I dare not tell her that.
It would destroy our entire relationship.
I'm crazy about Carol, too.
So why are we sleeping in the barn?
We are teaching them a lesson.
Oh, thank heaven that sleeping pill is beginning to take effect.
Gesundheit.
Of all things.
I'm allergic to hay.
Gesundheit.
Thank you, Wilbur.
You better cover up, boy.
You sound a little hoarse.
Yeah.
Night.
Oh!
That stall still goes back in the morning.
Oh!
Maybe I can help.
Darling, I'm sor...
Oh, hi, Carol.
I thought it was my diamond Jim Brady.
Do you mind if I come in, Kay?
Glad to have you, honey.
I was getting tired talking to my mink.
Kay, I have something to tell you.
Oh?
Maybe we were wrong.
Maybe we should tell them.
We asked them to come home.
Well, I don't know, honey.
What was that?
Do you think it could be prowlers?
Louie, this joint looks like a pushover.
But don't use the rods unless you have to.
Let's get out of here quick.
Wilbur!
Wilbur!
Wilbur, wake up!
Wake up, Wilbur!
What happened? What's wrong?
There are prowlers outside.
They're trying to rob the house.
Prowlers? Prowlers?
Wake up, honey.
They're going to rob the house.
It still goes back in the morning.
Oh, dear.
Be careful, darling.
They were right under that window.
Huh.
There's nobody here but...
but Ed.
Hi.
They seem to be gone, darling.
Mr. Ed must have scared them away.
Mr. Ed?
Yeah, pretty smart, huh?
Smart? He's wonderful.
You still want to get rid of him?
Oh, no, honey.
I'm so ashamed of myself.
Believe me, if Ed could talk,
he'd forgive you.
Come on, honey.
It's nice of you to drive me downtown, Wilbur.
Kay is using my car.
That's all right.
And I'm sorry I took that sleeping pill last night
and wasn't able to assist you in that emergency.
Oh, that's okay.
There were only four burglars,
so I was able to handle it all.
Four, huh?
Yeah. Well, where are we going?
To the fur shop.
Fur shop?
I told you, I wear the pants in my family.
And this morning, when I insisted on returning this mink stole,
Kay gave it to me without an argument.
Oh, well, let's go.
This has been a Filmways television presentation.

Hello. I'm Mr. Red.
Hello.
I'd like to make a reservation.
Is this Trans-Oceanic Airlines?
No, lady.
This is the Pony Express.
Who was that on the phone?
Well, who was it?
Wrong number.
You know, you're a strange horse.
You'll talk on the phone, you'll talk to me, but you won't talk in front of other people. Why?
How should I know?
I'm a horse, not a psychiatrist.
Millions of horses in the world and I have to get the one who talks.
Why do I only seem to hear voices when I come in here?
I want to ask you a favor.
Sure, what is it?
Would you allow me to take your horse over to State University for the weekend?
I doubt if they'd accept him.
He never got out of high school.
No, really, I'm serious.
You see, I attended an alumni meeting last night of Sigma Nu Delta.
That's my old fraternity at State U.
Well, it seems that State's rival college has stolen our mascot, a horse just like yours.
And I promised the boys I would deliver Mr. Red for the big game next Saturday against Brighton U.
Well, since you promised, you can't have him.
Well, thank you...
I beg your pardon.
Maybe you better get another horse.
Ed is very uncomfortable away from home.
But the university is only a ten minute drive from here and the boys will bring him back right after the game.
Well, as long as they bring him back, you can't have him.
Well, look, I'm in a bad spot.
I promised the boys the horse and you're putting me in a very difficult position.
Well, if that's the case, you're in trouble.
I'm sorry, Roger.
Well, that's quite all right.
Thank you, neighbor.
Yes?
Is Mr. Utterson there?
Nope.
Who is this?
Willie McIntyre.
Is this the man who's going to lend us the horse?
Get yourself a mule.
Yes, I understand how important it is for you to borrow, Mr. Ed.
You know, Carol, I've done a few favors for Wilbur, like getting him the contract to build Mr. Gordon's ranch house.
I know.
And the lawnmower, I lend him every Sunday.
Of course, I'm not the kind who would remind Wilbur of these things, but I wish you would.
I'll talk to him, Roger.
Sometimes I can get him to do things, especially if he thinks it's his idea.
There he is. I'll call you.
Oh.
Who is that, honey?
That Roger Addison.
I wish he'd stop pestering us about lending him Mr. Ed.
He just doesn't give up, huh?
He's never done us any favors.
Oh, let's be fair, honey.
Well, name one thing.
He got me the contract for the Gordon ranch house.
What else?
Those theater tickets.
What else?
Well, uh...
So he lends you his lawnmower every Sunday.
Did I say that?
All right.
If it means that much to you, lend Roger the horse.
It would upset you, darling.
Oh, no, no, no.
You've convinced me.
Lend Roger the horse.
That's what I love about you.
When you're wrong, you admit it.
Roger, listen.
It worked.
Oh, bless you, my dear.
I still don't understand why your husband raised
such a fuss over that old nag.
What was that?
Must be a bad connection.
Well, thanks again, and goodbye, my dear.
Ed, I've been thinking.
Not lately.
Ed, listen.
Maybe you'd have fun being mascot for those kids,
just for the weekend.
No, thanks.
I'd rather die in bed.
Well, you may get your picture in the paper.
With 22 football players on my back.
Look at it from my point of view.
Mr. Addison is my neighbor.
He's been doing me a lot of favors,
and it's about time I did him one.
They tricked you, Wilbur.
I heard him on the phone.
Never mind what you heard on the phone.
I'm telling Mr. Addison the Sigma Nu Delta
can borrow you for the football game.
Oh.
Lay it on hard, lay it on low.
All right, stay, stay.
Go, go, go.
Why don't you watch where you're going?
I'm sorry.
My name is Wilbur Post.
I lent you fellas my horse for the football game.
Football game.
With an S and a T and an A-T-E.
Stay, stay.
Yay!
T.
I know, fellas, but won't you even listen to me?
Excuse me, I'm Wilbur Post.
I lent you my horse for the football game.
I'm a little worried about him.
It's his first time away from home.
Would you boys know where they're keeping him?
You are fraternity boys, aren't you?
You are boys.
You are alive.
Why should I want to fool you fellas?
I tell you, Norma's a living doll.
She'll go nuts over him.
Pardon me, my name is Wilbur Post.
I'm here about my horse.
Would you know where they've hidden him?
I'll call you right back, fellas.
Are you a spy from Brighton?
Now, fellas, please, you've got this all wrong.
I'm Wilbur Post, Mr. Addison's friend.
I'm the one who lent you the horse.
I just want to see him.
Oh, well, we've got him hidden where those Brighton creeps won't find him.
Oh, well, would you mind telling me where?
Hi, Hank.
How's our horse?
I think he likes it in that steam room.
We better not keep him in there too long.
He's liable to come out a pony.
Willie, you're a genius for dreaming this up.
Those BU guys will never think of looking for him in here.
The horse's owner is coming over now to have a look at him.
It's okay to let him in.
Check.
Uh-oh, here comes Professor Thornhill.
What do we do?
Don't panic.
I'll handle him.
Ah, MacIntyre.
Hi, River.
How's the steam today?
Nice and warm, I hope?
Oh, Professor, it's pretty hot in there.
Maybe you ought to skip it today.
The heat's liable to crack your glasses.
Oh, I always leave my glasses outside.
Ah!
Oh, dear, oh, dear.
Oh!
Now, off we go.
Who's that big fellow in there?
Uh, that's Moose Jackson, sir.
You better not go in there, sir.
He's still sore at you because you flunked him in psychology.
Oh, I had to fail him.
In his last examination, he even spelt his name wrong.
Oh, I beg your pardon.
Here.
I'm so sorry.
Gentlemen, there is a horse in the steam room.
A horse, sir?
Yes, a horse.
And don't tell me it's the moose.
Well, sir, that horse is our new mascot, sir.
We were hiding him from the BU guys.
MacIntyre, what are you majoring in?
Physics, sir.
Oliver?
Advanced electronics, sir.
And to think, the free world is waiting for you scientists.
Ed, I've been looking.
Oh, sorry, sir, I thought you were someone else.
Oh, it's quite all right.
Tell me, young man, you always wear all your clothes in the steam room?
Well, I... I have a cold.
Oh, I see. That probably makes sense.
By the way, by the way, have you noticed that we have two
horses in that company?
Nobody here, sir, just us and the horse.
Just us and the horse.
Tell me, young man, are you majoring in any science?
No, sir.
Oh, then there is hope for the world.
Ed, it's good to see you.
How are you, boy?
Medium rare.
Cheer up. He'll find another hiding place for you.
By tomorrow, they'll have me up on a church steeple.
Come on, enjoy yourself while you're here.
Have fun with the kids.
Hit them hard, hit them low.
Come on, steak, go, go, go.
My life is at stake in your cheering.
I'm sorry about this, Ed.
I'll make it up to you later.
Just keep the services dignified and simple.
You're not angry with me, are you?
I'll see you at the game.
Wilbur.
Yeah?
Close the door fast.
These drafts are murder.
By tomorrow, they'll have me up on a church steeple.
My life is at stake in your cheering.
Just keep the services dignified and simple.
Wilbur.
Honey, you ate so little at dinner.
I fixed a little snack for you.
Thank you, dear.
Oh, darling, you're not still worried about Mr. Ed, are you?
No, of course not.
Wilbur.
Wilbur.
Wilbur, here they are.
Four tickets on the 50-yard line.
Oh, Roger, you shouldn't have bought them.
I didn't buy them.
They're a gift from the Sigma Nu Delta boys.
Pretty good, huh?
If I find him up on a church steeple, it's all your fault.
Church steeple?
What are you talking about?
Oh, nothing.
I'll get it.
Hello?
Yes, he's here.
Who?
One of the boys from the fraternity, Willie McIntyre.
Let me take that.
Hello?
I've got some bad news for you about your horse.
Bad news?
What happened to him?
That bunch from Brighton jumped us and stole him.
What's wrong, dear?
Mr. Ed.
Mr. Ed's been stolen.
Wilbur.
Hello, Edna?
Our boys did it to state you again.
We've got their first mascot hidden at a riding academy.
I'm sure they'll be happy to see you.
I'm sure they'll be.
I'm sure they'll be.
I'm sure they'll be.
I'm sure they'll be.
I'm sure they'll be.
I'm sure they'll be.
I'm sure they'll be.
And guess where the second one is?
Right in the basement of our sorority house.
Good evening, Sandy.
Hello, Mrs. Davis.
Linda, how did the boys ever get the horse out of that steam room?
Weren't there any state boys guarding him?
It was a breeze.
I was a decoy.
You mean they sent you into the steam room?
Don't be ridiculous, Gloria.
One of the boys told the boy guarding the steam room that a blonde wanted to see him outside.
And he left his post?
Honey, when he saw me, he would have left his country.
And what did you do to keep him outside while our boys were stealing the horse?
Well, we discussed the international situation.
Girls, girls, hold it down.
Mrs. Davis just came back.
If she finds out the horse is right down here in the basement, we're in trouble.
Do you think Mrs. Davis suspects anything?
Not so far.
She'd been so busy fixing up the house for Miss Pentecost's lecture.
And what a subject for a lecture.
Ornithology.
That's for the birds.
Oh, poor horse.
He must be hungry.
Let's fix him some poached eggs or something.
Great idea.
Poached eggs.
There it is.
Operator.
Hello, honey.
Will you get me state 11781?
You can dial that number, sir.
Dialing number.
You can dial that number, sir.
Uh, I can't see.
Just broke my glasses.
Very well, sir.
I'll get it for you.
If anything happens to that horse, I'm going to hold you responsible.
Wilbur, stop worrying.
I'm sure they'll find him.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Wilbur.
This is Ed.
Where are you?
They're holding me captive in a sorority house.
Which one?
Where?
To whom are you talking?
It's, uh, it's Max Trellefas.
Where are you?
Alpha Epsilon Mu house at Brighton U.
I'll be right over.
Hold on, pal.
Come on, Roger.
Where are you going, dear?
They're holding Ed in a sorority house.
Max Trellefas just phoned.
Who's Max Trellefas?
I don't know.
Probably the house mother.
Wilbur, I suggest I handle this.
I've had experience with sororities in my time.
I don't need any help.
Now, I'm telling you, you'll never get in.
Well, what can I do for you?
I'm Mrs. Davis, the house mother.
May I please come in for a moment?
I'm sorry.
No men are allowed in this house after 8 o'clock.
I'm afraid I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
I'm afraid I can't.
Well, I can't, either.
If I were you, I would leave this house after 8 o'clock.
But you've got my horse in there.
If I were you, I'd go home and sleep it off.
Now may I show you the proper approach?
These women have to be handled with dignity and authority.
How do you do?
My name is Roger Addison.
And I...
I gotta get in there.
Nobody can get by that female fullback except a woman.
Wait a minute. Roger.
I gotta get Ed out of there.
And I think I have an idea.
Come on.
Wilbur, I know you love that horse, but I think this scheme of yours is absolutely ridiculous.
I just gotta get my horse out.
This is my only chance.
It's impossible, unfeasible, unworkable.
And my apologies, madam.
Your mother-in-law's clothes fit me pretty good, eh?
Much better than they fit her.
Roger, forgive my bursting in like this, but I was so worried about Wilbur.
He seems so upset.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had company.
Oh, uh, Mrs. Post, may I present Maxine Trelafas, the sorority housemother.
How do you do?
Where's Kay?
At a meeting, as usual.
Well, if you hear from Wilbur, will you let me know?
Oh, of course, surely.
Nice to have met you, Mrs.
Trelafas.
When Kay gets back, I'll tell her you called.
Thank you, Roger.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Oh, boy, that was a close call.
I'll see you later, Roger. Now I know this is gonna work.
Not if you walk like that.
Hello, I'm Mrs. Adams and I'm shopping for a sorority for my daughter.
Hello, I'm Mrs. Adams and I'm shopping for a sorority for my daughter.
Hello, I'm Mrs. Adams.
Hello, I'm Mrs. Adams.
Hello, I'm Mrs. Pentecost.
Oh, do come in, we've been expecting you.
Come in, Mrs. Pentecost.
Pentecost.
Yes.
Girls, this is Miss Pentecost.
Oh, how do you do?
Nice to meet you, Miss Pentecost.
We're all eagerly awaiting your lecture tomorrow morning.
Well, thank you very much.
You know, I think ornithology is a brilliant science, and I'm sure the girls will just love it.
I will, too.
Rory, would you please zip me up?
Oh, surely.
Excuse me.
I'm so happy that you decided to let our sorority put you up for the night.
The night?
Yes.
Oh, but I didn't bring any... any... at all.
Miss Pentecost, you can use one of my nighties.
Your nighties?
Oh, well, I never sleep.
I stay up all night.
Wonderful, then we can all have a pajama party.
Great idea.
Yes.
How about it?
Yes.
Well, I'll go and get some milk and cookies.
Not on my account.
No trouble at all.
Ornithology is such a fascinating subject.
It sure is.
Please tell us about the blue-tailed finch.
Well, I've... I've never been there.
Is the food good?
Oh, what a delightful sense of humor.
Hello?
What?
They did?
Oh, that's awful.
Thanks, Tommy.
What's wrong?
That's funny.
The dean knows we've got a horse in our basement.
He's on his way over here right now.
But how could he possibly know?
Somebody must have squealed on us.
Yeah, but who?
Oh, we've got to get rid of that horse right away.
Oh, please, Miss Pentecost, not a word to Mrs. Davis.
You see, if she...
Girls, girls, no need to worry.
You just tell me where the basement is,
and I will get rid of the horse for you,
and no one will ever know.
That's wonderful.
You see, not only do I love birds, I also love horses.
Come on, I'll show you the way.
Yes.
Oh, girls, girls, please.
Why don't you just stay here and sort of keep watch?
I'll find my own way.
You keep watch.
Hello, Ed. It's me.
Scram, Grandma.
Look, I've come to take you home. Let's go.
Keep your powder dry, Bloomer Girl.
Get out of here.
You don't need to be the mascot.
No thanks to you.
What do you mean, no thanks to me?
All the trouble I went to to get in here,
and you say no thanks to me?
Well, who do you think squealed?
Who do you think phoned and told the dean I was here?
You?
Yes, Grandma Wilma.
Let's go, Ed.
Getting late, honey. Aren't you coming to bed?
In a minute, dear.
You've been looking at yourself for 20 minutes.
I'm wondering what I'll look like when I get old.
You'll always be beautiful.
I hope so.
I was over to the Addisons this evening,
and I saw the saddest-looking little old lady.
Come on, Ed. Little old lady, huh?
This has been a Filmways television presentation.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
Hello, Mrs. Paulson.
Hello, Henry.
Mind signing this, please?
Thank you.
There you are.
Thank you.
Oh, would you please put the hay in the back?
Hello, Carol.
Of course.
Oh, hi, Kate.
Say, would you like some coffee and cake?
Oh, no, sweetie.
I just started a new diet, and I'll have to cut down on it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I just started a new diet, and I'll have to cut down on some things.
So, uh, just make a cake.
You know, when I'm on a diet, I eat like a horse.
Not as much as our horse.
Do you know that's the fourth load of hay this week for Mr. Ed?
Your horse has it pretty soft.
He doesn't work, he takes naps all day, and he never stops eating.
And I thought being a wife was the best racket.
Well, love and learn.
Hi, I'm on a diet, not a hunger strike.
Carol, Carol.
Oh, hi.
Hi, Kate.
Hi, Wilbur.
Carol, did I get a call from Fred Briggs while I was gone?
No, honey.
That's funny.
He said he'd call.
Plans for his beach house are ready.
Fred Briggs, isn't he the man who directs all those western movies?
That's right.
When you meet him, you don't know whether to shake hands or draw.
Honey, I noticed a truffle with a hay outside.
Did you order that?
Me?
I thought you did.
No, I didn't order it.
Then the horse must have ordered it.
You know, I wouldn't put it past Ed.
Oh, I mean, I did order it.
I forgot.
Excuse me.
Carol, I read that Fred Briggs is starting another picture.
Maybe you can get him to hire Mr. Ed.
Hire Mr. Ed?
That's a wonderful idea.
That way, your horse can earn his keep.
Can he do any tricks?
Well, he has two specialties.
Eating and sleeping.
You, uh, you phoned the feed store again, didn't you, Ed?
I thought I told you that I was the one to give the orders around here.
That's the fourth load of hay we've had delivered this week.
Well, I'm hungry.
How come other horses don't eat as much as you do?
Because they can't phone the feed store.
I'm not trying to starve you.
I would just like to know what is going on around here.
Oh, please, Wilbur.
Do I yell when you eat?
Wilbur, Kay just had the most marvelous idea.
When Mr. Briggs comes over,
why don't you ask him if he'll hire Mr. Ed for his new resting?
Gee, honey, I don't know.
But we have nothing to lose.
Well, honey, at least that way he'll be helping to pay his own way.
You know, all that hay he eats is costing us a fortune.
I don't know, honey.
I mean, Mr. Briggs is coming over to take a look at these plans for his new beach house.
I mean, it doesn't seem ethical to ask him for a personal favor.
Well, think about it, Wilbur, huh?
Hello, neighbor.
Hi, Roger.
What do you think?
The Briggs beach house?
Yeah.
Oh, boy, fine.
Yeah, great.
Hey, that's quite a racket you got there, you know that?
Build a man a house and rent him a horse at the same time.
Oh, that?
Oh, no, no.
I told Carol to forget about Kay's idea.
Kay's idea?
Don't tell me my dear little wife has been interfering in your life again.
Oh, take it easy, Roger.
She meant well.
The road to Reno is paved with good intentions.
You know, it's time that wife of mine learned...
Look, don't start any arguments with Kay on my account.
I mean, I told Carol that I am not sending Ed to work, and that is that.
Honey?
Hello, Fred.
Oh, hi, Wilbur.
Fred, this is my neighbor, Roger Addison.
This is Fred Briggs.
How do you do, Mr. Briggs?
Honey, guess what?
Mr. Briggs said he'd use Mr. Edna's new movie.
I'm afraid my horse will not be available for your picture, Fred.
Okay, anything you say.
Now, about these plans...
Wilbur, I think I'll run along.
Mr. Briggs, nice to meet you.
Yes, my pleasure.
And I'll see you folks tonight for bridge.
My wife needs a few tips first.
She needs some instructions on how to be a dummy.
Bye, Roger.
Bye.
Kay, I like what you've done with the rumpus room.
Thanks, but my idea carried further along.
Will you please get us some coffee, Carol?
Yes.
And a carload of hay for Mr. Ed.
As I was saying, I like the rumpus room.
Wilbur, will you stop harping on Kay?
I think her idea was very good about putting Mr. Ed to work.
Now, please open that bridge table.
The Addisons will be here any minute.
You know, the next time we agree on something, I wish you would stick to it.
I thought I was doing you a favor.
Well, you weren't.
Honey, I still say there's nothing wrong in Mr. Ed paying his way.
Fine.
Ed makes a few dollars and Briggs knocks a few hundred off the price of my plans.
You're just being stubborn.
I don't think so.
Before we were married, you agreed that I would make all the decisions about money in this family.
All right. From now on, you can.
Fine.
Would you put that in writing?
No.
I knew you didn't mean it.
Wilbur, you're just being impossible tonight.
You started it.
You're always listening to Kay.
Oh, you and your arguments. This is all your fault.
I didn't know what I was doing, and you made me do it.
I'm going for everything around here.
Look, now, let's try to be civil while the Addisons are here.
Let's not show them how happy we are.
Now, Kay, I want you to promise me that you won't interfere in their lives again.
I did not interfere.
Why do you have to make the whole world miserable?
I'm married to you. Let's keep it in the family.
Oh, you stuffy.
Oh, hello, Carol.
Hi, Connie.
Come, darling.
Hi, Loki.
Oh, Wilbur, bridge, bridge, bridge.
You look beautiful.
Well, thank you.
Roger.
Well, what would you like?
What would I like?
The usual.
What would you like, sweetheart?
Nothing for me, darling.
Nothing for me either, sweetheart.
Wilbur, why are you limping?
Oh, it's not easy to open a bridge table, is it, honey?
No, sweetheart.
No, sweetheart.
Addison, one leg is a little crooked.
I knew that when I married you.
Nut.
What did you say, dear?
Have a nut.
Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
I'll fix the table, Kay.
Roger?
Thank you.
Magazine's out of balance.
There we are.
Pardon me.
Oh, Roger, why don't you sit here facing your wife
and I'll sit here facing my wife?
There we are.
Cut for deal?
Darling, the table is still wobbly.
Addison, will you fix it?
Your wish is my command, dear heart.
Roger, cut.
Thank you.
Oh!
Look what you've done, you clumsy...
doll.
It was an accident, sweetheart.
Don't blame him, Kay.
I told Wilbur the table was still wobbly.
I'm going to change.
Maybe we can play some other night.
Yes, perhaps tomorrow night.
Darling, be careful.
I don't want you to catch cold outside.
You spilled that drink on purpose, you lummox.
What a stupid remark to make.
Are you calling me stupid?
You called me a nut in there,
and I warned you.
You'd better put on my coat, darling.
Kay, you forgot your bag.
Oh, thank you, Wilbur.
Well, good night again.
Good night.
Good night, Wilbur.
Good night, Roger.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I'm going to change.
I've changed!
I've changed!
Oh, you're going to change.
I hope you're satisfied.
You've changed.
I hope you're satisfied.
I hope you're satisfied.
Bye.
I hope you're satisfied.
You ruined my whole evening.
You ruined my whole evening.
If it weren't for that darn horse,
We wouldn't even be arguing.
We wouldn't even be arguing.
Honey, what's happening to us?
Honey, what's happening to us?
What are we arguing about?
What are we arguing about?
Don't you know that I love you?
Don't you know that I love you?
Oh.
What are we arguing about?
A silly thing like putting Mr. Ed to work.
That's silly.
He doesn't have to work.
Then give me one good reason why he shouldn't.
Because I make enough money
to support a wife and a horse.
When we got married,
it should have been a three ring ceremony.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
A horse wearing a ring.
Hello, information.
I'd like the number of Fred Briggs in Beverly Hills.
Whatever happened to good morning?
Carol and I had a few words again last night.
PHONE RINGS
Well...
Excuse me, Ed.
Hello?
Wilbur, my secretary just gave me your message.
We'll pick up your horse tomorrow morning at 6.
My horse?
But listen, Fred...
Oh, don't bother to thank me, Wilbur.
It was a pleasure.
Look, I must get back on the set.
Goodbye.
That was Fred Briggs.
Carol went behind my back again.
She didn't call.
I called.
You?
That's right.
But I thought you didn't want to go to work.
Changed my mind.
You... You're just trying to get me to work.
Trying to keep peace in the family, aren't you?
Please, don't slobber over me.
I'm going to kill Carol.
Honey?
Honey, I've decided to send Ed to work.
Oh, Wilbur, you're such a wonderful husband.
Honey, honey, honey.
Don't talk, just kiss me.
I will if you'll stop sponging me.
Now I know how Kay felt when Roger spilled the drink on her.
I'm so terrible about that.
Here we've made up and they're still not talking
all on account of us.
Maybe we should go and try to get them together.
Oh, let's.
Honey, you're so thoughtful.
Yeah, yeah.
Lucky for me we didn't make up while you were slicing bread.
Is this the only dirty spot in the house under my legs?
Don't talk to me.
Sir.
Do you intend to strike me?
I sneezed.
You could have said gesundheit.
But you just gave me specific instructions
not to talk to you.
Still, you could be civil.
When one of us sneezes, the other sneezes.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
When one of us sneezes, the other should say gesundheit.
Forgive me, my dear, I've forgotten the rules of war.
In the nine years we've been married, I...
Nineteen years.
I don't count the ten years we weren't speaking.
Now, my paper, please.
Well, I see the rules have just been amended.
Aren't you going to answer the door?
Not until you gesundheit me.
Good morning.
Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
Hi, Carol.
Hello, Wilbur.
Okay.
Hi, Roger.
Have you made up yet?
Nice to see a friendly face around here.
Well, we just dropped by to tell you Ed's going to work.
Well.
He starts that picture tomorrow.
Good.
What made you choose to come here?
Well, I just thought I'd give you a little surprise.
I'm going to be a doctor.
I'm going to be a doctor.
I'm just going to be a doctor.
What made you change your mind?
I didn't want Carol to be unhappy.
We just feel awful when we're not talking.
Gesundheit, my dear.
Gesundheit to you, darling.
All right.
This is a run-through, everybody.
Get set, Brannigan.
Uh-oh.
What's going on, girl?
I don't know.
Uh-oh.
All right.
Roll them.
Roll them.
Okay.
Action.
Okay.
Action.
Well, where's the horse?
Hmm.
Get that horse back where he belongs.
Right away.
Great.
All right.
Let's try it again.
Okay.
Ready, Brannigan?
Ready.
Charles?
All right.
Roll them.
Roll them.
Okay.
Action.
Action.
Stop!
What's with that horse?
Maybe those gunshots are scaring him, Mr. Briggs.
Uh, could be.
Bring him back.
Yes, sir.
Brannigan, don't fire your gun this time.
We can put in the shots later.
That's very good thinking, Mr. Briggs.
Thank you.
All right, let's go.
Charles.
All right, roll.
Roll.
Action.
Action.
Lunch, everybody.
Who told you to call lunch?
I didn't say anything, Mr. Briggs.
It must have been that same wise guy.
All right, everybody, take a five-minute break.
All right, everybody, five minutes.
Five minutes, everybody.
Hiya, Fred. How's my horse doing?
Well, we've had our share of trouble.
What's he doing over there?
I'll get him away.
Come on, Ed.
How's it going, Ed?
I'm quitting.
Get my unemployment insurance.
What's that?
They want me to carry a 250-pound cowboy on my back.
I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to get a job.
I've got a 250-pound cowboy on my back.
I'll be bull-legged in two days.
Uh-oh. Here comes hot lips again.
Isn't this Daphne, the star of this picture?
No, honey, I'm not interested.
Ed, easy.
She's worth a fortune.
When I marry, it'll be for love, not money.
Is Daphne here with this horse again?
George, I thought I told you to get her ready.
I'm sorry, Mr. Briggs. Come on.
Now, uh...
Fred, maybe Ed isn't cut out for movies.
You want me to take him home?
I'm glad you asked me.
Frankly, I don't think your animal is too bright.
Now he's a little bit nervous, you see.
This is his first time in front of a camera.
Incidentally, I have the revised sketches for the beach house whenever you have time.
Oh, good, good. I'll drop around when I'm free.
Okay, everybody, let's go.
Lunch!
Oh, here you are. Fresh cotton.
Thanks.
Sweetie, how long will Mr. Ed be in that picture?
About six weeks.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if he became famous?
Oh, I can see your horse now.
Walking down Hollywood Boulevard, wearing dark glasses, signing autographs.
What an imagination.
Carol, honey, do you think it would be possible for Wilbur
to get us past us to watch him at the studio?
Well, why go to all that trouble? Just turn your head and look.
Wilbur, what's he doing home?
Honey, it just didn't work out.
Excuse me.
Why? What happened?
Well, they were working him pretty hard and Ed was unhappy.
Unhappy?
If you ask me, you never wanted that horse to go to work in the first place.
Look, I never butt in, but I...
Gesundheit, sweetheart.
I didn't sneeze.
You can do it in the house. Come on.
So you went back on your word.
Honey.
Come in.
Oh, hello, Wilbur.
Ed, come in.
Sit down, Ed.
No.
What's the matter?
I may have to cancel my plans for the beach house.
Why? What happened?
It looks as though I may have to stop production on my picture.
Daphne suddenly got sick.
Sick?
Oh, that's funny.
She seemed all right yesterday.
That's just it. The vet can't seem to find anything wrong with her.
She just mopes around.
Fred, I have a hunch what might be wrong with Daphne.
You have? What?
I think she's got a crush on my horse.
Is that possible?
I mean, with horses?
You've heard about the birds and the bees.
The horses are in on it, too.
No, no, no.
Daphne was hanging around your horse all day yesterday.
Maybe you're right. Can I get him back on the picture?
Well, uh, do I finish my plans?
Yeah, sure. You got yourself a house.
You got yourself a horse.
Oh, uh, may I use your phone?
It's right behind you.
Hello, mate. Is George around?
Yes, I'll wait.
Uh, Fred, there are a few little conditions that you'll have to meet.
You want more money?
No, no, no, no. It's about that 6 a.m. schedule.
My horse likes to sleep late.
Okay, we'll make it 7.
We better make it 8.
No, I mean 9.
Okay, 9.
And no heavy cowboys in hand.
Maybe up to...
110 pounds.
But no heavier.
No lunches. He likes plenty of carrots.
Not the green part. Cut that out.
Well, but doesn't Mr. Ed look handsome standing there?
He sure does.
Okay, Charles.
All right. Places, everybody.
Places, everybody.
Fred, did you make that little change in the script the way we discussed?
Yes. Yes.
Okay, let's have a run-through.
Run-through. Places, everybody.
Action. Action.
Action.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
Hooray!
Wilbur, here's the...
All right, girls, at the sound of the bell, I want you both to come out fighting.
I'm going to listen to my husband and come as a hunchback of Notre Dame.
Why didn't you tell me you were coming as carmen?
Well, I've been trying to phone you since last night, but your line's been busy.
That's funny.
You haven't used the phone.
I thought so.
Wilbur, you left the phone off the hook in the barn again.
Must have been that horse.
I mean, he must have knocked it off accidentally.
I'll go and look.
Excuse me.
Is Wilbur coming to the pageant?
No.
Is Roger?
No, I'm meeting with a little resistance.
As soon as I bring up the subject, he locks himself in the bathroom.
It's no fun without Wilbur.
I wish I could think of some way to convince him to come along.
Well, there is a way, darling.
What?
Before I tell you, one of us will have to resign from the Carmen Club.
Well?
Hey!
You left the phone off the hook again.
So I made a mistake.
I'm only human.
Why do you keep using that phone?
I get lonely here all by myself.
Yeah, well, Carol is blaming me, and I'm getting tired of your negligence.
Ed, it is time you and I had a man-to-man talk.
Okay.
Take off the apron.
Well, I was just helping Carol with the dishes.
Wilbur!
Yes, Roger?
Now, don't let me interrupt your work.
I thought maybe you might like to play golf Saturday.
Not a bad idea.
Now, the girls will be leaving for that parade about 12.
We can tell them how beautiful they look, how sorry we are we can't join them,
and then laugh all the way to the golf course.
What do you say?
Great.
See you later.
Hey, you know it's impossible to get you on the telephone?
Uh-oh.
Ed, if you use that phone once more, I am pulling it out.
You understand?
Yes, master.
You forgot your apron, honey.
Hey, what do you think? Isn't it beautiful?
It's gorgeous.
Oh, darling, you'll make a beautiful lane.
Oh, thanks.
But what good is a lane without Sir Lancelot?
Here's the book.
Just do what I told you.
Tell him he looks like Sir Lancelot.
But he doesn't.
Wilbur's too smart.
You can't soft-soap him.
It'll work.
Maybe with your husband, but not with mine.
Oh, for heaven's sake, Carol.
Here he comes now.
Oh, good.
Oh, hi, Wilbur.
Hi, honey.
Look, look at my new costume.
Oh, that's beautiful.
What's the matter?
I'm having quite a resemblance.
What, what, what?
Here, let me see your profile.
Oh, I wouldn't have believed it.
Carol, wait till you see.
It is simply the most marvelous thing I've ever seen in all my life.
Let me see the other side.
Just as good from the other side.
Oh, it's just marvelous.
Oh, here, do you have it?
Goodbye, Kate.
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
Same face.
It's the same face, but I'll tell you what it is, dear.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
What, what, what's the resemblance?
Oh, it's silly.
What, what, what, what's silly?
Kate says you look just like Sir Lancelot.
What's so silly about that?
Same face.
Well, well, in that light, there is a resemblance.
I mean, if I had a spear in my hand, there'd be no doubt about it.
Get up, Merlin.
Here's your spear, honey.
Thank you.
That's no way to hand anybody a spear.
With a spear, the straw goes at that end.
Coward!
Oh, that's wonderful, honey.
Now, would you show Harold Jensen how to hold a spear?
Harold Jensen?
You're going to let Harold Jensen be your knight at the pageant?
Oh, he doesn't look anything like me.
No, he doesn't, dear.
I mean, whoever heard about pot-bellied Sir Lancelot?
Charge!
Please listen to me.
I've got to find a Don Jose by tomorrow.
Oh, my dear, how about me?
Oh, you're not listening.
I...
You?
Of course.
I'd make a beautiful toreador.
Ah-ha, toro.
Vamos, torito.
Ah-ha, oh, yee.
Oh, Addison, I'd have never dreamed of asking you, but you'd be perfect.
Why, naturally.
I have the figure, the bearing, the carriage, and look at these legs.
Can you imagine these two beauties in silk stockings?
Oh, Addison, thank you so much.
My dear, think nothing of it, because I won't be there.
Addison, that was a dirty trick leading me on.
My dear, you're going to have to find another Don Jose, because this bullfighter is going to play golf Saturday.
Very well.
I won't go to the pageant.
Suit yourself, my dear.
I'm going to go on the biggest shopping spree you ever saw.
Where do I go for my Don Jose costume?
Hello, Ed.
Hmm.
What's new?
Don't know.
I missed the morning newscast.
I tried to catch up with you, Wilbur.
Hello, Roger.
What are you limping for?
Oh, I was practicing putting in my backyard for our game tomorrow, and I twisted my ankle.
Oh, that's a shame.
I was looking forward to beating you, too.
Sorry, old man.
Hello, Roger.
Hello, Carol.
Honey, your costume will be ready in about 30 minutes.
Oh.
Good.
Costume?
Didn't he tell you?
No.
He's going to be Sir Lancelot in the pageant.
Him?
Celeste?
Oh, boy.
What's so funny?
Kay is waiting for you to try on your costume.
His costume?
Didn't he tell you?
No.
Well, he's coming as Don Jose, the bullfighter.
Oh.
Oh, I forgot something.
Don Jose, the bullfighter.
Hey, that's cute.
How did you get roped into this?
Kay hit me in my weak spot, my money belt.
How about you?
Just stupidity.
See you later, Lancelot.
Bye, Don Jose.
Don Jose.
Lancelot.
What fools these mortals be.
Ed, there are times when a man has to give in to his wife.
No wife of mine would make me parade five miles in a hot sun.
Wilbur, here's part of the outfit Miss Ed's going to wear.
Oh, so Ed is going to march in the parade, too, huh?
Well, Elaine and Sir Lancelot need a horse, so I figured we might as well use Miss Ed.
Good idea.
I mean, after all, why should we walk five miles in the hot sun when we can ride on the back of good old Ed?
Look, aren't these pretty?
Bells and tassels and plumes.
Yes.
You know, we could tie a great big red bow in his tail.
Harold, I want to talk to you.
I tried to get you on the phone, but your line was busy.
Look.
Wilbur.
That does it.
I warned you.
What?
I warned you.
I did.
I warned her that if I did this once more, I'd take the phone out, and I'm going to.
Hello, operator.
I would like to have an extension phone removed, please.
The name is Wilbur Post.
The address is 17340 Valley Boulevard.
Charge!
Hey!
What are you doing?
Sorry, I was practicing with my spear.
That's nice, sonny.
Oh, will you tell your mother the telephone man is here to take out the phone?
Hmm?
Hmm?
Look, I'm Mr. Post, the owner.
The phone is in the bar.
Oh, right over there.
Thank you.
Why are we whispering?
I don't want him to know the phone is coming out.
You don't?
Who?
The horse.
The horse?
He doesn't want the phone to come out.
The horse doesn't?
That's right.
Look, sonny, will you play with your spear and let me get the phone out?
Leave that phone alone.
Hello, stupid.
Who's that?
Where are you?
On the roof.
Do you want the phone in or out?
In.
Go home.
What are you doing?
Playing games with me?
Playing games?
Yeah.
First you tell me to leave the phone in, then you tell me to pull it out?
Make up your mind, will you?
Oh, well, I'm sorry. There's been a misunderstanding.
You can take the phone out.
I must have done something real bad when I was a kid.
Ed, that phone is going out.
If it does, I don't walk in the parade.
Is that supposed to be a threat?
You can ride on a big dog for all I care.
You are going to be in that parade.
You'll have to carry me.
Oh, Carol, you look lovely.
Oh, thank you.
So do you.
Thank you.
Where's Roger?
Oh, he's right...
Oh, Addison, come on in.
Kate, if I didn't go, how much shopping would you do?
Six hours and four credit cards.
Olé.
This is the last time I buy a suit off the rack.
At last, they're putting men up in cans.
Wilbur, all we can do is pray for rain.
Please. This suit is not guaranteed against rust.
When I'm ready, you better get Mr. Ed dressed.
My lance locked.
Uh-oh, here he comes.
I'm going to teach that phone puller a lesson.
Come on, Ed, it's time for the parade.
It's growing dark.
Where is everybody?
Ed, they're waiting. I've got to get you dressed.
Is that you, Mother?
Get up and stop horsing around.
I hear voices, but not on the phone.
Ed, for the last time...
Please, you're yelling at a sick horse.
I brought some extra milk.
What's wrong with Mr. Ed?
He is perfectly all right.
Wilbur, he's coughing. Maybe I better call a vet.
There is nothing wrong with him.
Then why is he coughing?
He's faking, Carol. Believe me.
Oh, honey, I know you're thinking of me,
but we can't go off and leave Mr. Ed when he's sick like that.
There'll be other pageants. Let's forget about it.
I'll go call a vet.
No, Carol, please.
Oh, that was a dirty trick.
Are you going to let her miss that parade?
Is that you, Mother?
Mother?
Oh, brother.
I absolutely refuse to wear this ridiculous ponytail.
But darling, all bullfighters wear that funny little hairpiece.
Some of them also get gored, but we've got to stop some place.
Okay.
I have bad news. Mr. Ed is sick.
Oh, the poor thing.
We can't leave him alone, so you two better go on without us.
He's not missing the pageant.
I'm afraid so.
Well, well, how do you feel today, old fella?
Oh!
Oh!
Hmm? Doesn't look bad at all.
Nice color.
Huh? Lymph nodes feel all right.
I still say he's faking.
You better not be too sure of that, Mr. Post.
After all, the poor thing can't talk, you know.
But...
Is he all right, Doctor?
Heart feels fine.
Sounds very good.
I think all this fellow needs is a good shot of vitamins.
Now, be afraid, old fellow.
Dr. Connors isn't going to hurt you.
This won't hurt one bit, though.
I told you he was all right.
Come on, honey, you better tell the Addison's.
Doctor, do you think he's all right to leave for a few hours?
Oh, he seems fine.
Well, if you're sure...
Come on, honey.
PHONE RINGS
Hello?
Oh, hi, Wilbur.
Really?
Wonderful.
Oh, Addison, the horse is all right, and we're going to the pageant.
Lee?
Mr. Ed.
Oh, come on. Don't worry.
Dr. Connors knows what he's doing.
Mr. Post! Mr. Post!
Mr. Post!
What happened?
Your horse pushed me down.
I think he wanted to sit on me.
Wilbur, I just knew there was something wrong with Mr. Ed.
But he showed no symptoms at all.
He must be psychologically disturbed.
Doctor, do you know of any horse-sitting service?
Honey, that's a wonderful idea.
Doctor, would you mind staying with Mr. Ed till we get back?
Well, I could be back, but it would cost you so much.
It'll be worth it.
Honey, I know how much this pageant means to you.
Yes, but we still need a horse.
I'll rent one from the Brunswick Stables.
They're right down the road. You call the Addisons. I'll be right back.
Come on, Doctor.
So they got someone else.
Well, I'll fix him.
Oh, Carol, hold still, will you? You're rigging like a fish.
Would you please get that?
I can't get the pin in. Wait a minute, will you?
Let me know if I hit your brain.
Did I?
I'm Dr. Connors.
How do you do, Doctor? Come in.
Hello, Doctor.
Sorry I couldn't get here any sooner.
Oh, we really appreciate you coming back.
That's perfectly all right.
Excuse me. I'll call my husband.
Wilbur! Dr. Connors is here.
Coming, honey.
Giddyap, Josephine.
Honey, look!
Now we can't go.
What's the use? I better tell the Addisons.
Don't call us. We'll call you.
Come, Carmen.
Well, I'll tell Dr. Connors we don't need him anymore.
Hello, Miss Dad.
How do you feel, huh?
Oh, you've had a rough day, haven't you?
I know what was the matter with you.
You were lonesome, weren't you?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh, you're a good horse.
Honey.
I didn't know you liked Ed that much.
Well, I feel sorry for him.
I'll bet if he knew how happy it would make you,
he'd want to go to the pageant.
Well, I just wonder if he's well enough.
Look!
He's his old self again.
He is.
Tell the Addisons.
All right.
You tell them.
Okay.
Let's tell them together.
Good morning, Ed.
Good morning.
I've been thinking, Ed.
That was a real nice gesture going to the pageant yesterday.
It sure was.
You know, if you promise to behave,
I'll put the phone back in the barn, okay?
You've got my word.
Okay, I'll go in the house and call the company.
Wilbur, use the phone in the office.
Okay.
Hey.
Who phoned the company to put this back?
Ed?
It's growing dark.
Where is everybody?
Is that you, Mother?
Hmm?
JAPOAN
Booyakity yak a streak and waste your time a day
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And this one will talk till his voice is hoarse
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this!
I am Mr. Ed

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. A.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. A.
Get back in the barn, Ed.
That was no horse, that was my wife.
Lemonade and cookies for the master of the house.
You're not going to lift a finger during your vacation.
Nobody has worked harder than you have finishing those plans for the Quigley Medical Building.
Another bite of cookie, please.
You're not going to do a thing.
Napkin.
Yes, my lord.
Just rest and enjoy the sun.
Now I want you to take a nice long nap.
Carol.
Yes, dear.
Close my eyes.
Boy, this is what I call living.
Not enough sugar.
Oh, I'm sorry, honey.
Did I disturb you?
How was the lemonade?
Not enough sugar.
Would you like another glass?
No, thank you, honey.
No.
Will you just relax?
Rest.
Isn't she a wonderful wife?
Boy, there's nothing like marriage.
Big deal.
One week off, 51 weeks slaving.
No, you're wrong, Ed.
It's a great life.
There's nothing like having a wonderful wife.
Someone to come home to at night.
Someone to share your sorrows, your joys, your...
You've been out in the hot sun too long.
Hi, Roger.
Maybe a week's vacation isn't enough.
Well, sit down, neighbor.
Oh, no.
I couldn't get up again.
Where's Kay?
She's waiting for me.
My dear wife has had me rearranging furniture all morning.
Not again.
You're probably ready for a week's rest yourself.
If that woman has me move one more stick of furniture, hello, dear, where do you want
me to move the couch?
Addison, doll, I just realized where the piano really belongs.
Carnegie Hall?
Near the bookshelf.
And I promise you, sweets, this will be the last move.
It better be, because the next move is me out of the house.
Oh, come on, muscles.
Yes?
It's for you.
Thanks, Ed.
Hello?
Wilbur Honey, this is your Aunt Martha.
Aunt Martha?
Well, where are you calling from?
From the railroad station, dear.
The railroad station?
Yes.
Didn't you get my letter?
No, Aunt Martha, we weren't expecting you, but it's wonderful.
I'll be right down to pick you up.
How's Carol?
Oh, she's fine, Aunt Martha.
Look, where will I pick you up?
Well, I'll meet you where they stack the trunks and suitcases.
The old bag up front will be your Aunt Martha.
Goodbye, dear.
I won't be long.
Oh, my.
One does get so grumpy, doesn't one?
Right this way, Aunt Martha.
Thank you, dear.
You know, I simply cannot understand what could have happened to my letter.
It must have gotten lost.
No, it's not important.
How long will you be able to stay with us, Aunt Martha?
Oh, a few days.
I'll be back in a few days.
I'll be back in a few days.
I'll be back in a few days.
I'll be back in a few days.
I'll be back in a few days.
Oh, that's not important, how long will you be able to stay with us, Aunt Martha?
Oh, I just love your house.
Stick them up, stick them up.
Isn't Tootsie clever?
It's a hose, it's a hose.
Where did she learn that?
Oh, she just loves to watch those detective stories on television.
Oh, how cute.
Isn't it amazing how a bird can tongue?
I don't know, I got a horse.
Drinks lemonade, eats hay, trots.
Isn't that nice?
That's my Wilbur, he still has the same imagination he had as a little boy.
Don't you, Weeby?
Weeby?
When Wilbur was a little boy.
Please, Aunt Martha.
He was so cute.
I used to bounce him up and down on my knee and I'd say, what's your name, honey?
Well, he couldn't say Wilbur, so he used to say, Weeby.
Weeby, Weeby.
Shall we go in?
Look at that gorgeous backyard.
You know, that's what I like about it.
Wilbur did all the landscaping himself.
He did?
That's right.
It only cost me $200 more than if I'd hired a gardener.
That's my same little Weeby.
Honey, would you please get the suitcases?
Yeah.
Aunt Martha.
Yes, dear?
I'll show you to your room.
I'm sure after that long trip, you'd like a nice rest.
Rest?
In all the wonderful places there are to see in California?
Oh, no, my dear.
Not at all.
Now then, I've made out a little list.
Aunt Martha, this week is Wilbur's vacation.
Oh, how wonderful.
Then I won't be interfering with your work while you're showing me around.
That's right, Aunt Martha.
Isn't it, Carol?
Yes, Weeby.
Aunt Martha, the bedrooms are upstairs.
I'll show you to...
Oh, fine.
I'd like to take my jacket and hat off.
It's all too heavy.
I'll get the suitcases.
Anybody home?
Stick them up!
Stick them up!
It's a holdup!
It's a holdup!
Don't shoot.
Please, don't shoot.
Stick them up!
Stick them up!
They are up.
My money's in my left-hand pocket.
Stick them up!
Stick them up!
Don't do anything rash, Deborah.
Don't do anything rash.
Get your hands up.
Roger.
Are you afraid of that loudmouth bird?
When I get through with him, he'll be behind bars.
No, don't antagonize him.
He's armed.
Look behind you.
It's a parrot.
What?
Then who took my money?
I did, doll.
There's $20 missing.
It's a holdup!
It's a holdup!
If I had pretty Polly, I'd have a mink coat in no time.
I'd have him stuffed.
Where did you get him, Wilbur?
In a police lineup?
Hims or her.
Tootsie, Aunt Martha's parrot.
Aunt Martha?
Having company?
Just arrived.
She's a wonderful person.
Practically brought me up.
Ah, here she is.
Hi.
Andy, I'd like you to meet my wonderful neighbors, Kay and Roger Addison.
This is my Aunt Martha.
How do you do?
How do you do?
Any friend of Weeby's is a friend of mine.
Weeby?
Oh, that's what he called himself when he was a baby.
He couldn't say Wilbur.
Oh, how precious.
Just adorable.
He was the most beautiful child I ever saw.
He had gorgeous blue eyes and long lashes and a head full of golden curls.
Long lashes and golden curls.
What a shame I didn't know you then.
I wasted my youth on Mary Pickford.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Uh, shall I take the parrot up to your room, Aunt Martha?
Oh.
Well, now, we're going to be out most of the time and I wouldn't want Tootsie to be alone.
Oh, we could put her in the barn with our horse.
A horse.
Why, that's perfect.
Tootsie loves animals.
Good.
Let's go, Tootsie.
Oh.
Wilbur is my favorite nephew.
I just know I'm going to enjoy this visit.
How long you staying, Aunt Martha?
Well, that depends.
Carol, I must see your picture.
Certainly, Aunt Martha. This way for the 25-cent tour.
Ah! Stick him up! It's a hold-up! It's a hold-up!
Stick him up! Ah! Ah! Ah!
A talking bird. What'll they think of next?
Ed, this is Tootsie, Aunt Martha's parent.
Tootsie's gonna be staying with you for a while.
Well, who sent for her?
Stick him up!
Ah! Shut your cotton-picking beak!
You might learn a few things from Tootsie.
She seems to be a very smart bird.
Yeah, and what's she doing in jail? Hmm?
Come on, Tootsie.
There. We'll put you right over here.
Honey, I'm starting lunch. Anything special?
Anything. Where's Aunt Martha?
In the living room, adding to that list of places she wants to see.
Kay and Roger went home.
Excuse me.
Darling, it's your vacation, don't you think?
Yeah, honey, it's your first trip, I hear.
Dear, she's a very sweet person, but you've been working so hard, you need the rest.
I'll get it when she leaves.
Oh, from the looks of that list, that won't be till after Christmas.
You're just exaggerating. Look, I'll show you how tired I am.
Where's my Tootsie?
Oh, now you mustn't be bashful in front of me.
Go ahead, Wilbur. Smooch.
Why, Wilbur, you're blushing.
Oh, he always was shy.
I remember when he was four years old at a birthday party,
a little girl tried to kiss him and he ran away and hid under the bed.
What's so fun...
What do you think of Mr. Ed?
Oh, he's a beautiful animal, but you can't beat a parrot when it comes to cleverness.
You are so right.
Well, I'd better start lunch.
Then later we can all sit on the patio and relax.
Relax? What are we, a bunch of old fogies?
Oh, no. Now, let's start doing the town right after lunch.
Wilbur is a bit tired and was planning to take it easy today.
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I didn't realize that.
Well, now don't you worry, Wilbur. I can manage.
Well, wait a minute, though. I think I'd better drive you.
Oh, you don't have to, dear. Although the Addisons and I will miss you.
The Addisons?
Yes, yes. I invited them along, too. They're such a friendly couple.
Well, then it's only fair that we go in our car. Right, Carol?
Of course.
You've got yourself a wonderful wife.
Come on, dear. I'll help you fix lunch.
Weebie.
Ha, ha, ha.
Stick him up. Stick him up.
Ah, knock it off, stupid.
Stick him up. Stick him up. It's a holdup. It's a holdup.
Ah, stick him up. Stick him up. It's a holdup. It's a holdup.
Ah, ah, ah.
Oh, you taste good barbecued.
Will you quit teasing Tootsie?
This bird's driving me nuts.
Ed, you've been beefing for three days.
She's kept me up for three days.
Look at the circles under my eyes.
Well, you're just going to have to put up with Tootsie. That's all.
Stick him up. Stick him up.
Shut up. Is that all you know?
Good news, Wilbur.
Stick him up.
Stick him up. That's the second time in three days she's held you up.
Your Aunt Martha has just given us today's itinerary.
Oh, no. We've been on the go ever since she got here.
So far, the only thing I haven't seen is the city dump.
That's your first stop.
Oh.
No, seriously. Today she intends seeing Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland.
Well, what's the good news?
I'm not going.
How did you get out of this?
Wilbur?
Yes, Aunt Martha?
Wilbur, dear, we're all ready to go to...
Oh, poor Roger. How's your neck now, dear?
Still stiff.
No, I'm awfully sorry I won't be able to go with you.
I've always wanted to see the city dump.
Oh, dear. Poor man. What he's going through.
All right, Wilbur, come on. Carol's waiting.
Yes.
Oh!
Where's the mother dog?
My back. I sprained it.
Oh, I know how to fix that. Turn around, dear.
And let your arms hang.
Yeah, well...
That's it.
Ooh!
There now. I told you we'd be home before midnight.
You're right, Aunt Martha. It's just two minutes to twelve.
We were lucky. The customs guard at the Mexican border let us right through.
Well, he knew I was an American the minute I said, merci beaucoup.
Isn't he cute?
Did I ever tell you I used to bounce him up and down on my knee when he was a little boy?
Yes, you did, Aunt Martha.
He was such a joy. He had the most gorgeous blue eyes.
Well, I'll be right back. Now, don't either of you go away.
Oh, we won't.
You used to bounce me up and down on your knee before she came.
Honey, I promise you, the minute she leaves, I'll bounce you all over the place.
Very funny. Do you know you haven't kissed me once today?
Well, get ready to chalk one up.
Oh, how sweet.
Now, I told you, you must be bashful in front of me.
Go ahead, Wilbert. Kiss her.
Thank you, Mr. Post.
What are you doing with the robe and slippers?
Oh, I thought I'd sleep down here on the couch tonight.
Don't you like your bedroom?
Did Carol make the beds wrong?
Oh, no. No.
I didn't want to bring it up, but it's that jasmine bush just outside my window.
Oh, I forgot your allergy.
Aunt Martha's allergic to jasmine. I should have remembered.
How's it going?
No, it doesn't. I'll go get a pillow and some blankets.
No, we can't let her sleep down here on the couch.
Then where will she sleep?
Well, there's no jasmine bush outside our window. She can sleep in our bedroom.
Won't we be a little crowded?
Oh, no. I'll sleep in Aunt Martha's room.
Now, why didn't I think of that?
Oh, now, Carol, Wilbert, I'll be perfectly comfortable down here.
Oh, no. I insist, Aunt Martha. It will give us a chance to get better acquainted.
Yes, and then I can show you the family album of pictures of Wilbert when he was a little boy.
That's wonderful. I can hardly wait to see his long, golden curls.
Oh, you'll just love them.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to say goodnight to Tootsie.
Well, you've just fulfilled the dream of every American girl,
to share her bedroom with her husband's aunt.
Honey, it'll just be for one night.
Let's just be friends.
We be.
We be.
One, two, cha-cha-cha. One, two, cha-cha-cha.
One, two, cha-cha-cha. One, two, cha-cha-cha.
One, two, cha-cha-cha.
Now, sleep well, dear.
I love you.
I love you. I love you.
Oh, you smart little birdie.
Good night, Tootsie.
If you're so smart, say Peter Piper pick a pick a pickle peppers.
Peter, Peter, Peter, pick them up. It's a hold up.
I knew it. You're stupid.
I love you. I love you.
Smart, huh? Well, I got a way to fix you, sister.
I love you. I love you.
Oh, Wilbur, my favorite jasmine bush.
Well, you want me to put it back?
No, no, no. Dig faster.
Welcome home, dear.
I'll go help Aunt Martha take her clothes back to her own bedroom.
Yeah.
Good morning, Wilbur. Hi, Roger. Oh, no, no, no, no. You shouldn't have done it.
What? They're bound to search for her.
Oh, Roger. Don't worry about me. I won't testify against you.
Wilbur, Wilbur.
Tootsie's gone. She's not here.
Oh, Wilbur.
Wilbur, Wilbur.
Wilbur, Wilbur.
Wilbur, Wilbur.
Wilbur, Wilbur.
She's gone. She's not here.
Tootsie, where are you? What do you mean, she's gone?
She's just gone. She's just not here.
The last time I saw her, she was in her cage right on this stool.
Aunt Martha, don't get excited. Now, we'll find her.
No, you don't think that a cat got her to the apartment bed?
It may take time, but I'm sure we'll find her.
I wouldn't sleep with that.
All right, Ed, what have you done with the parrot?
What parrot?
Ed, where did you hide that parrot?
You don't have a search warrant, but come on in and look.
Excuse me, Ed.
Wilbur, Wilbur.
Yes, Carol?
I just heard about Tootsie.
Do you think one of the kids in the neighborhood could have taken her?
Kids?
Just look.
I wonder if bird napping is a federal rap.
Well, I've scoured the neighborhood.
No sign of Tootsie.
Sure is a mystery.
Oh, here's Wilbur. Any luck?
No.
Aunt Martha's just sick about this.
You know, she went up to her room.
Why don't we buy her another parrot?
Won't help.
Aunt Martha just poured her heart out to me.
Do you know she's had Tootsie for 25 years?
That long?
Ever since her husband died.
That bird's been her closest friend all that time.
She must be a very lonely person.
She's always so happy.
I think that's a cover-up.
You know something else?
I don't think she sent us any letter.
I was thinking the same thing.
She was probably afraid we'd turn her down.
Come on, let's go cheer her up.
Hello?
Wilbur, Tootsie's back.
That's wonderful!
Thank you, officer.
Tootsie's back.
Aunt Martha, Tootsie's back!
I love you. I love you.
Stick him up. It's a hold-up.
Forgive me, Tootsie, for hiding you in that ash can.
Tootsie, sweetheart!
Yes, baby, where were you?
Yes, darling.
Where did you go?
I wonder who could have brought her back.
Yes, dear.
Yes, dear, sweet boy, but where were you, darling?
Mommy was...
Now, we'll talk about that.
Yes, I wonder who.
Ed, I just dropped by to tell you Aunt Martha had a wonderful visit.
You know, the Addisons really took a liking to her.
Well, good night, Ed. Sleep well.
Where are you going?
Why?
I'm lonely. Talk to me.
I've got to get some sleep.
Tootsie was never too busy to talk to me.
Talk to me.
You really miss her since Aunt Martha took her home, huh?
I can't sleep anymore without noise.
Talk to me. Come on, talk to me.
Okay, Ed.
Stick him up, stick him up! It's a whole rabbit!
People yakety yak the street and waste your time a day
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And this one will talk till his voice is hoarse
You never heard of a talking horse?

Good morning, Ed.
I said good morning, Ed.
Sorry, my mind was on something else.
No.
Hello.
No, operator, nobody here put in a call to Pimlico Racetrack.
Must be some mistake, operator.
Ed?
I haven't made a long distance call in weeks.
Let's see, bills, bills, bills.
Grocery bill, electric bill, gas bill.
Do you see a telephone bill that was right here?
Ed?
Don't ask me.
Don't you look at me with those baby brown eyes.
Hand it over.
Here it is.
Thank you.
Six calls to Pimlico.
Ed, why are you calling a racetrack?
Well, I'm worried. My niece is about to run her maiden race.
Six calls? That's a fortune.
Wilbur, I promised my sister I'd keep an eye on her kid.
By any chance have you seen Kay this morning? There's nobody at my house.
Yeah, she and Carol went shopping. They're having dollar day downtown.
The last time they had dollar day downtown, Kay bought downtown.
Oh, we must be in the wrong store.
Nothing in here looks like it only costs a dollar.
Oh, Kay, look at all these beautiful pieces.
That was me before my diet.
Good morning. May I help you?
Good morning. I like this.
Isn't it, darling? It's really a conversation piece.
How much is it?
Only $300.
That's the end of that conversation.
Oh, may I help you?
This is so different. I could wear it to the theater.
What is it?
It's a rug.
Kay, look. Wouldn't this make a perfect lamp base for my living room?
Isn't it interesting? It has its origins in mythology.
It's a Chinese piece and a steal at only $50.
$50? Oh, I just love it, but I'm afraid my husband would think I was being too extravagant.
Honey, buy it. Wilbur will always be around.
The statue may not.
Perfect lamp base.
Carol?
Yes, dear?
Honey, we are loaded with bills this month.
We've just got to start saving money.
You're right, dear.
I mean, yeah, this one. Andre's Beauty Shop.
What are you doing, patronizing him or adopting him?
I'm trying to keep attractive for you, honey.
And this, this little beauty, the electric light bill.
You'd think we were holding night baseball games.
You're absolutely right, honey.
Carol, I'm going to go get my stuff.
Carol?
Yes, dear?
I mean, I don't want you to think I'm picking on you, but I think we should try to hold expenses down.
Oh, I couldn't agree with you more.
I don't want to deny you anything, dear, but I think for a while we should try to just buy the essentials.
You're absolutely right, honey.
I don't mean to suggest that you should stop going to the beauty parlor or stop buying clothes,
but promise me you'll use a little discretion.
Okay, honey.
That's my girl.
It didn't cost much, darling. Do you like it?
That depends. How much did it cost?
Fifty.
Fifty?
Fifty cents.
No.
But, honey, there's a fascinating story connected with this statue.
Would you like to hear about its past?
No, but I can tell you its future. It is going back.
I can't take it back. There was a sign in the store, all sales final.
Then I'll take it back.
Honey, from now on, let's really try to economize, shall we?
Yes, operator. I'm ready for the Pimlico call.
Hello. Are you the trainer of the Philly Little Princess?
That's right. This is Joe King. Who are you?
Mr. Edwards.
I understand Little Princess is running her maiden race tomorrow.
That's right. What about it?
You shouldn't work her out too early in the morning.
Why not?
I know her family. They're late sleepers.
She hasn't been training too well lately.
Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
Buddy, you're getting it right from the horse's mouth.
Well, I'll try anything.
I'll call you back later.
What have you got there, Wilbur?
Oh, nothing. Just a statue.
Oh.
Ming Dynasty, huh?
How do you know?
Maybe I didn't go to college, but I'm not stupid.
Wilbur, how about nine holes, huh?
Oh, love to, but I'm afraid not, Rog.
Hey, wait a minute. What's that?
Oh, Carol made a foolish purchase. I'm taking it back.
Can you imagine paying $50 for that?
What is it?
Don't ask me. All I know is she wants to make it into a lamp.
Well, if she wanted a lamp, why didn't she buy a lamp?
You don't know my wife.
If she bought a lamp, she'd want to make it into a vase.
Something I can do for you, sir?
Yes, I'd like to return something.
Oh.
My wife bought this here.
She's changed her mind.
I'm sorry, sir.
She only bought it an hour ago.
It's still warm.
I'd like to keep my cash box the same way.
I wish you'd take it back.
We really have no use for it.
I thought your wife wanted to make a lamp out of it.
She wants to make a lamp out of everything.
You stand still for a second, she shoves a bulb in your mouth.
Then you'll take it back?
No.
I know you're not obligated to take the statue back, but you'd be doing me a very big favor.
Please?
I do so hope you're not going to cry.
Oh, all right.
But promise me you won't tell anyone that I refunded your money.
I won't even tell my wife.
I said to this antique dealer of yours, look, either I get my money back...
Yes, you told me, dear.
Look, doesn't that trout look delicious?
Look, what is going on around here?
Oh, dear, you told me to economize, and you'll be very proud of me.
There was a sale on fish downtown, and I bought 30 pounds.
30 pounds?
We'll be eating fish for days.
Yes, but think of all the money we'll save on chicken and steak and roast beef.
Oh, wait a minute.
I had fish balls for hors d'oeuvres, I just had clam chowder, and now trout.
What have you got for dessert? Fish cakes?
Oh, you spoiled my surprise.
Well, honey, what's for breakfast?
Fried fish.
Hey, look, delicious.
Well, bring them on.
There you are.
Here's another.
Hi, Carol.
Hi, Kay.
Well, how's...
Shh, he's upstairs.
How's the fish campaign?
Well, it's the third day.
He should be growing fins by now.
Well, keep punching, sweetie.
As soon as you get him off that economy kick, you go right out and buy that statue back.
Shh, here he comes.
Oh, hi, Wilbur.
I wonder if Mr. Phillips has sold my beautiful statue yet.
Look, Carol, I've got a great idea.
Why don't you let me buy it and hold it for you until you break Wilbur down?
Oh, I couldn't ask you to do a thing like that, Kay.
Well, it was just an idea.
You better hurry, the store's closed at 6.
You say this is an original, huh?
Absolutely.
I like it very much.
How much are you asking for it?
$50.
And how much will you take?
$50.
This is a one-price store.
Okay, don't get excited.
I told you I like it.
Would you wrap it, please?
Gladly.
Pardon me.
How much is he asking for it today?
Today?
I thought $25 was quite expensive.
25?
I'm paying him 50.
Oh, that's for two, of course.
Two?
He told me it was an original.
He's got a back room full of them.
No kidding.
He must stamp them out with a cookie cutter.
I see.
An original, huh?
Thank you.
Here's the $50.
Hey.
Anybody home?
It's me.
Hello.
Oh, hello, Wilbur.
Uh, Roger, can I come over to your place for a sandwich or something?
Sure.
Of course.
You're sure?
Yeah.
We're well stocked.
What do you want?
Anything that doesn't swim.
I beg your pardon?
See, Carol's had me on a steady diet of fish the last few days.
All because I returned that silly statue she bought.
You won't believe this, but Kay bought one just like it.
And she's been hiding it from me.
You're kidding.
What are you going to do?
Return it, of course.
Well, look, let me give you a little tip.
If the owner won't take it back, just say please and look miserable.
He's very soft-hearted.
It won't be difficult to look miserable.
Just think of the price.
Yes, sir, may I show you something?
No, thank you.
I'd like to return something.
I'm sorry, we have a no return policy.
Oh, I don't blame you.
As a businessman, I realize you can't make a profit if you keep taking back merchandise you've sold.
Exactly.
May I ask a favor of you, please?
Would you call my wife and tell her you positively will not refund the money?
Why don't you call her yourself?
Well, to be perfectly frank, just before I left the house, we had a terrible argument.
She's very sensitive about making mistakes.
And I'm very sensitive about returning money.
Then you won't call her?
No.
Would you write her a note, please?
Please?
Write her a note?
Please?
Oh, all right.
Oh, thank you.
I knew a kind heart went with that face.
Oh, no.
It's back again.
I need you to pay $50.
What is this, some sort of parlor game?
Musical statues?
Please?
Please?
Please?
Oh, thank you.
You have just saved a marriage.
Honey.
I brought you some lunch.
Sit it down, Carol.
I'll reel it in later.
Oh, I'm cracking up.
That fish looks just like a chicken.
Go ahead, dear.
You deserve a good meal.
You mean you're giving up?
You're throwing in the flounder?
I just couldn't stand to see you suffer anymore.
I don't know who to kiss first, you or the chicken.
Enjoy it, dear.
She's out to get you.
It's worth it.
You gonna eat that without a food taster?
Ed, stick to being a horse.
The condemned prisoner ate a hearty meal.
I got the greatest little wife in the world.
And what's more, I want to surprise her and buy that statue back.
I knew you'd weaken.
So did I.
Good, you haven't sold it.
That'll be $50, I believe.
Didn't you return the statue just a few days ago?
That's right.
As I recall, your wife had just bought it.
Yes.
She bought it, you returned it, and now you want to buy it again?
Yes, but...
Tell me this.
Has my competitor hired you people to drive me out of my mind?
Look, I'd like to buy that statue.
I'll sell it to you under one condition.
What's that?
That you sign a written statement to the effect that you will never return this statue again.
Really?
All right.
I'll sign it.
Repeat after me, please.
I do solemnly swear...
I do solemnly swear...
Better raise your right hand.
I do solemnly swear...
Carol, are you in the kitchen?
Carol?
Oh, no.
Carol?
Are you upstairs, honey?
Carol, look what I...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Oh, hi, Edison doll.
Don't doll me, shifty.
Oh, you found the statue.
Pretty sneaky, getting Carol to buy it back for you.
I don't understand, darling.
I returned the statue once today and I'm returning it again.
But, sweetheart, that's not ours, it's Carol's.
Oh, please, Wilbur returned Carol's.
You bought this for yourself.
I wasn't born yesterday.
If you don't lower your voice, this may become exhibit A at a coroner's inquest.
Kay, are you trying to tell me this is the same statue Wilbur showed me in the barn?
What was he doing in the barn?
I hid it in the closet.
It was before I returned it to the store.
Returned what to what store?
Kay, when you married me, was it for love or revenge?
Now, don't forget, with Little Princess, you got to break fast and stay close to the rail.
Got it.
Now, when do you want the jockey to go to the whip?
No whips.
She cries so easily.
Mr. Redwoods, I was thinking maybe of using blinkers on Little Princess. What do you think?
No, no blinkers.
She likes to read the odds on the tote board while she's running.
I got my hands. I'll put it right down.
Carol, where are you?
Carol, are you upstairs?
Not again.
When I put the statue in the closet, that was just before you brought it back.
I was keeping it for Carol until Wilbur gave her the money.
But when you brought it back, he hadn't given in yet.
So it was premature.
Don't you understand?
Is it necessary that I do?
I'm sorry, darling. I should have told you.
Kay.
Forgive my busting in like this, but why do you keep putting this back in my living room?
It was a mistake, dear.
We didn't realize that you'd gone back and bought the statue again.
Me? But I didn't buy it back.
No? Who did?
Wilbur.
Oh, isn't he sweet?
He wanted to surprise me.
You've certainly got a wonderful husband.
And I'm going to tell it to him, too.
Excuse me.
How's your head, Addison?
Kay, do me a favor.
Sure, sweet.
Anytime you want to help your neighbor, give me five minutes' notice so I can leave town.
You put that there.
What's going on around here?
Thank you, darling.
But I have been spending too much money lately, and, well, maybe we should take it back to the store.
Oh, no. The way that storekeeper feels, I'd be safer taking you back to your mother.
I'm afraid you can't, darling.
Hmm?
You know what they stamped in our marriage license?
What?
Absolutely no returns.
Well, thanks for calling, Mr. King.
Ed, get off that phone.
Good news, Wilbur.
My niece won her first race.
Ed, you promised you would cut out those long-distance calls.
Relax. I'm paying for this one.
You?
The trainer bet five for me, and I won a hundred bucks.
You did?
Yep.
When is your niece going to be running again, huh?
Wouldn't you like to know?
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course, that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

He's always on a steady course. Talk to Mr. Ed.
Keep your yakety yak in the street and waste your time a day.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
Wilbur, are you sure we're on the road to Ensenada?
Of course we are. Leave it to me, I know where we're going.
And Wilbur, you said you knew a shortcut.
How far are we from Ensenada?
Oh, don't ask me. These Mexican roads twist so much.
Just a second, just a second, everybody.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. No doubt about it. We're lost.
Oh, no, Wilbur, I'm famished. If I had a little ketchup, I'd eat this map.
I could do without a bowl of chili myself.
I was looking forward to spending a delightful weekend south of the border, but with your sense of direction...
There's nothing wrong with Wilbur's sense of direction.
Oh, please. I consider it a triumph we got out of his garage.
But, Aristotle, you told Wilbur to make that left turn back there.
Of course I did. The sign said, hombres trabajando. That distinctly means left turn.
Wait, I'll look that up in the dictionary.
Now, believe me, it means left turn. I took Spanish in college, and I finished at the head of my class.
Hombres trabajando. Men at work.
Must have been a very small class, darling.
Wilbur, do you have any idea where we are?
Well, the way I figure it out, we're either just outside the town of Cojotzamamalulu...
or on a small island in the Pacific.
Well, we'd better just keep on driving.
Men at work, huh? Oh, must be an old dictionary.
Let's go, Desi.
I'd better go take a look at Mr. Ed.
Ed, I got a little problem. We're lost.
Who's lost? We're only ten miles from Cojotzamamalulu.
How do you know?
I read a sign back there.
You speak Spanish?
Doesn't everybody?
De nada, amigo.
So, this is Cojotzamamalulu. It certainly does look very big.
The only thing big about this town is its name.
I wonder if they have a restaurant here.
Well, there's a policeman. Let's ask him. Officer?
Oh, no, Wilbur. Wilbur. Let me. I speak the language.
Senor.
Si?
That means yes.
You could have fooled me.
¿Dónde es el restaurant?
You have a thick accent.
Yes, those Irish progs will always throw you.
La Golondrina is a very nice restaurant.
Oh, you speak English?
That means yes.
Is it the best restaurant in town?
Si, and the only one, too.
Thank you. Come on, girls. Por aquí, por favor.
I have a feeling this is not going to be one of the highlights of the trip.
Well, it certainly is very... quaint.
It has a wonderful provincial atmosphere.
Yeah, we're stuck.
Sit down.
I wonder where the owner is.
It isn't exactly the height of the rush hour.
Let's order. I want to send word down to my stomach that help's on the way.
Excuse me, sir.
Is the owner here?
Si.
Do you know where he is?
Si.
How do we get service?
Yes, go for it, Pepe. Thank you.
Pepe?
Pepe?
Are you calling me?
That's what I like. A man who gets right to the point.
You're going to like the beans. They're very good, señor.
Thank you.
Tacos, enchiladas, tortillas, arroz con polo.
Oh, I know what that means. Chicken with rice.
Either that or men at work.
What else do they have, Wilbur?
Uh, rozbif, bifsteck.
Roast beef, beefsteak.
Beefsteak. That's what I want, beefsteak.
I'll have the roast beef.
Steak for me.
And I'll have the arroz con polo.
Four order spins.
What we want.
What is nice. What I got, spins.
Mr. Man, if all you have is beans, why did you bother giving us this menu?
No bother. It's a pleasure.
Beans. If you hadn't steered us wrong, we'd be an ensenada by now.
You know, Kay, that's one of the things I admire about you.
Whenever I make a mistake, you're always the first to point it out.
You're in.
Oh, look at that wheel.
Oh, now we'll be stuck here for a week.
Wilbur, why did you have to bring this horse along?
I told you, he gets lonely.
¿Qué pasa aquí?
Did you see this accident?
No, señor.
Didn't you see anything?
If I see, I say. I don't see, I don't say.
You don't say.
¿Sí?
I say, I don't see.
We've got to get this wheel fixed.
Oh, I know the best mechanic in all Mexico. Arturo Gomez.
Will he do a good job?
Would he do a good job? Would I lie about my own cousin?
Now that you're almost finished, Arturo, don't you think we should agree on a price?
Sí, we should.
¿Eh?
¿How much is it?
Whatever we agree.
¿Ten dollars?
This, I don't agree.
¿How much?
This, I will charge you so you will be a little more poor and I will be a little more rich.
Well, how much more poor will I be?
The same, that I will be a little more rich.
Oh.
Why you not going to eat with your friends? I call you when he's finished.
You couldn't give me an idea of the price.
That's right, I couldn't.
Now your trailer will soon be fixed, Ed.
Good. I was afraid I'd have to walk home.
You were scared when you got hit.
Yeah, I almost ended up in that great big stable in the sky.
I'd like to get my hands on that hit-and-run driver.
Yeah, that beat-up old truck.
Truck? What truck?
License number 4231.
We have agreed on the price, señor. $50.
Would you mind stepping aside, please? I'd like to see your license plates.
$50, please.
You really expect me to pay you $50?
We make it $40?
I no charge you city sales tax.
I'm not paying you a cent. You ran into my trailer with your truck.
How you say this? There was no witnesses.
Ah, then you admit that you did it.
$30?
How do you say policeman in Spanish?
Policía.
Thank you.
Policía! Policía!
Why you call police? $30 is not so much. You like $25 better?
What's going on here, Arturo?
This man doesn't want to pay me for my work. He owes me $75.
That is a lie.
You speak Spanish, señor?
No, but a lie is a lie in any language.
Please.
Why do you not pay Arturo? He's $75.
$75?
All right, $70.
What more can I do?
Arturo, he's being very generous, señor.
Look at his fender. He must have hit me. It's dented.
My fender?
She was dented when the car was new.
What's the matter, Wilbur?
This is the man that ran into our trailer.
Please, Miguel. It is almost siesta time, and I cannot sleep when people, they owe me money.
I am not paying. It's a matter of principle.
Señor, you pay, or I must put you in the jail.
Wilbur, Addison will be glad to chip in half.
Why, of course. I...
No, no, no, Wilbur's right. We will not pay. It's a matter of principle.
But, honey, I don't want you going to jail.
Don't you worry. I'm not going.
Excuse me, señor. You have the time?
I'm in the right, and there is absolutely nothing that they can do.
Hey, what's the big idea?
Shh.
Siesta time and quazamamalulu.
Psst. Amigo.
Hi, Ed.
What time you going over the wall?
I don't have to. I'm going to win this case.
Sure, sure.
I'm going to win this case.
I'm going to win this case.
I'm going to win this case.
Sure, sure.
Ed, are you sure you saw the truck hit your trailer?
Positive. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me.
I know the girls in Roger are looking for a lawyer.
You had your lunch yet?
Yeah, but that Mexican hay is too hot for me.
I've been drinking water like a fish.
I've got to get out of here.
Excuse me, Ed.
All right, sure.
Officer, officer!
Ya, por favor, callese, hombre. Que escandalo trae.
Look, I'm an American citizen. I demand a trial.
Are you going to pay Arturo his money?
No.
Then you'll be a Mexican citizen before your trial.
Look, I insist you phone the judge and tell him that I'm here.
Insist.
Insist.
Why insist? When the judge gets here, he'll see that you're here.
Honey!
Oh, you look so pale. Are you all right?
Did you get a lawyer?
Addison's waiting for him to wake up. It's still siesta time.
This isn't a town. It's a giant sleeping bag.
Wilbur, maybe you ought to pay the man the $75.
70?
I'm not paying you a cent!
Relax, folks. The lawyer will be here shortly.
When?
As soon as he gets out of his pajamas.
Oh, honey.
Please pay the money. I don't like to see you behind bars.
My mind is made up. Now, you and Kay go and find some rooms for the night.
Meanwhile, Roger and I will talk to the lawyer.
You're really determined to fight this through?
Find the rooms, huh?
You never kiss me like that.
I will, dear. When you're behind bars.
Roger, keep an eye on him for me, will you?
Why? Where's he going?
Come on, Kay.
Roger, I didn't want to worry Carol, but that judge may not show up for months.
That's carrying a siesta a little too far.
Maybe you better phone the American consulate in Tijuana.
Good thinking. But I got a better idea.
What's that?
Pay the money and let's get out of here.
I am not going to pay that fellow $75.
$70.
I'll call the consulate.
My good man, have you a telephone here?
Not here, but on the wall.
Thank you.
You want me to make the call for you?
That won't be necessary. I speak the language fluently.
Operadora, usted, por favor, obtenerme el americano consulado Tijuana.
No, operator, I am not speaking Portuguese.
That was Spanish.
How long have you been in this country?
I want Tijuana, not Havana.
I said not Havana, Havana.
Very well, I'll wait.
Begin.
Senor Post, I am Francisco Gomez. I am your attorney.
I've been expecting you. Won't you sit down?
First, let me assure you that you will receive a fair trial.
That is all I expect, sir.
Senor Addison has acquainted me with the situation, but now I must ask a few questions.
Did you see the accident?
No.
Did any of your friends see the accident?
Well, no.
Then I must advise you to pay the $75.
$70.
That man has been lying. He ran into my trailer.
But if you have no witness...
I have a witness. Ed saw everything.
Ed? Ah, this is good.
Who is this Ed?
Well...
Well, he's not exactly the type you'd bring into a courtroom.
Please, senor, do not say this to me. In Mexico, everybody is equal.
Where is this Ed?
Outside the window.
Senor Ed! Senor Ed!
I see only a horse.
That is senor Ed.
This horse, she is your witness?
Senor, have you been drinking tequila?
Please, you've got to believe me.
You do not need a lawyer, you need a doctor. Miguel!
I'm telling you the truth.
Andale.
I'm telling you.
Of course you are.
That is the truth. Ed saw...
Si, como no.
Ed saw everything.
I'm telling you the truth. You've got to believe me.
What's the matter?
Hello.
It's about time.
Is this the American consulate in Tijuana?
What?
Havana?
Operator, I did not want Havana.
I want Tijuana.
T as in tacos.
I as in igloo.
A as in Argentina.
I'm calling the American consulate.
Good.
Well, how did you make out?
Did you find any rooms?
We won't need any, honey.
The judge just got back to town.
And he's going to try your case this afternoon.
Great! Now we're getting someplace.
Marvelous.
What?
Argentina?
Operator, I did not call Argentina.
I want Tijuana.
T as in Texas. No, no, no.
So the judge is here.
Win or lose, we'll be out of this town soon.
Ensenada, here we come.
What did your lawyer say, dear?
He refused to handle my case.
Goodbye, Ensenada.
Refused to handle your case? But why?
What's the difference? I'm innocent. I can't lose.
I... I'll defend myself.
I admire your confidence, Wilbur.
We'll send you cigarettes from the States.
This is just awful.
We'll just have to convince that lawyer to handle you.
Come on.
I'd better go along with him. To translate.
Ed, with you testifying for me, I can't lose.
With who testifying?
Look, I'm depending on you. You're my key witness.
Now you know I only talk in front of you.
This is a matter of principle.
Where's your integrity?
Where's your $75?
All I'm gonna do is tell the truth.
If they find out I can talk, I'll wind up in a circus.
Ed, I'm disappointed in you.
I've always felt towards you the way...
The way Paul Revere felt toward his horse.
But Paul did the talking, not his horse.
Okay, Ed.
No hard feelings, huh?
No. I'm...
I'll be waiting for you, buddy boy.
This way, please.
That's the one, Judge Hernandez.
Uh-huh. He's the guilty one.
Arturo, por favor, don't call a man guilty until there is a trial.
Senor Post, I'm Judge Hernandez.
Your Honor, I'm certainly glad you're here.
I'm sorry I was late.
Where's your lawyer?
Oh, I'll be defending myself.
The lawyer Gomez will not handle his case because he's loco.
Are you loco?
No.
Ah, good. Let us proceed.
Sit down on the bench, both of you.
This court is now in session.
Senor Post, what do you say?
Your Honor, this man hit my trailer with his truck.
And now he wants me to pay for fixing it.
Arturo, what do you say?
He's a big liar.
You say yes, he say no.
Are there any witnesses?
Well, yes and no.
Yes and no.
That makes maybe.
Do you have a maybe witness?
Well...
Ed!
¿Qué pasa con este animal?
Take this horse away from here.
Please, Your Honor, this is my witness.
The horse, he's your witness?
Yes, Your Honor.
Well, how can a horse be your witness?
Well, he told me Arturo's license number.
Oh, in that case, you know...
He told you?
Yes, Your Honor.
Are you sure you are not loco?
The horse saw it all, Your Honor.
Well, how can a horse write down a number?
Oh, he didn't write down the number.
Oh.
He just told me what he read.
Miguel, you know there is a law against serving tequila in jail?
But I didn't give him any tequila.
He is this way all by himself.
Make him to pay me my $80.
$80?
Ed, tell him what happened.
This is ridiculous.
How could a horse tell you a license number?
Uh, by tapping it out.
That's how he communicates with me.
What?
Yes, just write down any number at all, Your Honor, and he'll tap it out.
You are serious in your post?
If you'll please write down a number, Your Honor.
Oh, my God.
$60.
Did he read any number?
Yes.
Yes.
Try him in Spanish.
$50.
Of course, he does everything but talk.
Arturo, you are a liar.
You big mouth.
With a fire.
He isn't here. What did they do to him?
Oh, don't worry, darling. I'm sure everything's all right.
There are no high trees in the neighborhood.
Oh, gotcha.
What's up, little kiddies?
Well, let's get going.
I want to make it to Ensenada before it gets dark.
Well, did you pay him the money?
No, won the case.
You did? How?
Oh, just used a little horse sense.
Let's go, kiddies.

Edison Doll, how about a picture of you? Those baby blue eyes would look beautiful in color.
I don't deny that, my dear, but I'm a little weary.
Oh, please, just one picture for my wallet.
That'd be the closest I've been to my money in a long time.
Hold it just a minute while I focus, honey. There.
Howdy, folks.
Oh, darn.
Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am, did I spoil your snapshot?
That's okay. She's got special rates for group pictures.
You folks interested, maybe, in buying some doodads for the house?
I'm running an auction here this Sunday.
Auction? What auction? Where? What are they selling and how many to a customer?
Auction? Where?
Kay, let's go home.
Come this Sunday, you'll be able to pick up some real fine bargains at Z. Dowd's.
I'm selling everything on this farm from soup to nuts.
We have plenty of both, thank you. Come on, let's go.
Oh, I've got to see what he's selling.
Right this way, ma'am, through the gate.
That woman will buy anything.
To Kay, the world is just one great big department store.
Come on, Roger, it's only money.
I'm glad it's yours.
Well, thank you.
Sit up on the fence for one more, honey.
I?
Oh, move over just a little bit.
I want to get the horse in the background. Make it look real country.
Okay.
Sit back a little more, Roger.
Sit back a little more.
Oh, a little more.
Wilbur? Where are you?
Wilbur!
Oh, honey, are you all right?
I don't know.
Does that camera take x-ray pictures?
There's nothing funny about falling off a fence. It can happen to anybody.
It's never happened to me.
Wilbur, are you in there?
Yes, Roger.
Wilbur, I picked up your snapshots at the drugstore.
Oh, thank you.
I'll have to go back and get them.
I picked up your snapshots at the drugstore.
Oh, thank you. Roger, how much do I owe you?
Nothing. If you will help me on this auction business.
Oh, Kay still wants to go to the auction on Sunday, huh?
That's all she talks about. She wants to pick up a few things for our backyard.
Like what?
Oh, a wagon wheel, a kerosene lamp, an old water pump.
She'd buy the farmer if he were marked down.
I don't think that my wife's any different.
Now, remember, we've got to stick together on this.
No auction this Sunday. Right? Right.
Oh, brother.
What's so funny?
When I fell off the fence, all...
all Carol got was a picture of an old plow horse.
Don't laugh. Some of my best friends pull plows.
Let me see it.
Wait till Carol sees this shot.
Uh-huh.
Wait a minute.
What's the matter, Ed?
That horse in the picture.
What about her?
She's my mother.
Well, there she is.
Are you sure that's your mother?
That's Mama.
Go ahead. Go over to her.
How do I look?
You look fine.
Is my hair combed?
Yes. Now, look, stop being so nervous.
Mom taught us kids to be neat.
Your hair is combed, your shoes are shined, you look great.
Go over to her.
Okay.
Fine-looking horse you got there, mister.
Oh, hello, Mr. Dowd.
Say, aren't you the fellow that fell off my fence a couple of days ago?
That's right.
Hey, your horse seems to like Betsy.
I'll sell her to you real cheap.
Of course, she ain't nothing but a broken-down old plug.
Ah!
What's wrong with him?
You insulted his mother.
His mother?
Yeah. He recognized her from a snapshot we took.
Who recognized her?
Her son. My horse, Ed.
Well, uh, excuse me.
I... I got some butter to churn.
Calling Mom an old plug.
I should have kicked him in his rutabaga.
Yeah, please. Mr. Dowd didn't mean it.
Hello, Betsy. You've got a wonderful son.
No use, Wilbur. She doesn't understand.
You mean she doesn't talk like you?
Nope. I'm the only black sheep in the family.
Then how do you communicate with her?
Horse talk.
You know, we were here before people.
Tell her I like her.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Okay.
Buy my mother and let's go home.
Gee, I don't know, Ed.
I'm gonna have to ask Carol first.
But I don't want my mother pulling a plow.
I know how you feel, Ed.
Well, tell your mother I'll do my best.
Carol?
Yes?
Come here, dear.
Oh, I've missed you.
We've been together all evening.
No, we haven't. You've been in that kitchen for five minutes.
Oh, Wilbur.
You know when I miss you most?
When I'm on my horse.
What?
Yeah. You know, some days when I'm riding along on Mr. Ed,
I just wish you were right there with me.
Wouldn't it be a little crowded in the saddle?
Carol, I've been thinking about buying you a horse.
Two horses?
Well, isn't that a little extravagant?
I mean, the upkeep and...
Oh, what's money when you're riding alongside the woman you love?
Wilbur, you know I don't ride very well.
Yeah, I know.
And that's why I was looking around and I found a real gentle horse.
You'll love her.
Oh, where did you find this horse?
Well, you remember that picture you took when I fell off the fence?
Mm-hmm.
No!
You mean you want me to ride that...
that decrepit old plow horse?
Please. You're talking about somebody's mother.
I get it, Wilbur. We just don't need two horses.
I'll make a deal with you.
You ride Ed and I'll ride the plow horse.
That's absurd.
I'll finish the dishes and we'll go to a movie, huh?
Don't worry, Mama.
You're not gonna pull that plow much longer.
I know I was a kooky kid, but I've sold my wild oats.
I'm gonna take care of you in your old age.
Old age.
Hi, Ed.
Hi, Wilbur.
When do we pick up Mother?
I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
Carol just doesn't want another horse.
Oh.
Look, I'm not giving up.
She wants to go to a movie tonight, so I'll pick a real sentimental one.
Maybe this will soften her up.
Chin up, Mom.
Your little Edward ain't letting you down.
I isn't.
Mother, you are growing old.
Silver thread among the gold.
Oh, come in, neighbors.
Hi, kids. Too late for a cup of coffee?
No, come on in.
Oh, good. How was the picture, darlings?
Great. Just great.
All about a son's love for his mother.
We're not getting another horse.
Is that the name of the picture?
Wilbur wants to buy that plow horse we saw at the farm the other day.
Oh, that's the place we're going to this Sunday.
Kay, dear, I told you we are not going to that auction.
She's a real sweet horse.
But all I want to do is pick up a few things for the backyard.
It was our front yard before she started adding things.
She's the gentlest thing you've ever seen.
You wouldn't think so if you lived with her.
I'm talking about the horse.
We're not getting any horse.
Did my husband call me a horse?
I'm talking about Ed's mother.
Ed's mother?
He had one, you know.
Well, most of us do.
Will somebody please tell me what we're talking about?
My husband wants to buy another horse.
This is not just another horse. This is Ed's mother.
Really?
How do you know?
He says that Mr. Ed recognized his mother from the picture I took.
Pardon me, I've got to bed down my horse.
Does he really want to buy that old plow horse?
Well, you know how Wilbur loves animals.
If it were up to him, we'd be living in a zoo.
Ed's Mother
Well?
I'm sorry, Ed. Carol said no again.
Did you tell her it's my mother?
Yeah, she just doesn't believe me.
Does she want to see my birth certificate?
Yes, Ed. It's hopeless.
Uh, Wilbur.
Yeah?
Would you let your mother pull a plow?
Big deal.
Where's the phone directory?
I'll call Dad myself.
Hello, Ed.
Hello.
Don't worry, Mom.
What is your mother doing here?
What mother?
Tell me, what? How did she get in here?
You bought her.
Me? What are you talking about?
Okay, so I bought her.
What did you do?
I called up Dowd and I told him I was your business manager.
You didn't?
Just send him a check for $50.
Oh, I gotta keep Carol out of here.
Carol's coming. If she sees your mother, she'll kick us both out.
Don't let her come in here.
How? How am I going to keep her out?
Fiddle buster.
Honey, I brought you some lunch.
Sandwich, some milk and some cookies.
Thank you. I'll eat it out here.
In this wind?
What wind?
Oh, Wilbur.
I like to eat outdoors. It's invigorating.
Oh, honey, I don't have time. I have a roasting oven.
You shouldn't have done this, Ed.
Carol's going to think I did it behind her back.
Look at her, Wilbur. Isn't she beautiful?
I better find a place to hide her while I try to get Carol to accept her.
Mm-hmm.
Addison's garage.
Bless you, Wilbur.
Fine lad.
I'm going to get you.
The line's busy.
Ed, I better take your mother right over there.
Mr. Dowd, what time are you starting your auction tomorrow?
11 o'clock? Fine. We'll be there. And I...
The voice you have just heard has been disconnected.
You shouldn't have done that.
Woman, have a heart. We've got a whole garage full of junk.
It's not junk.
We have enough grandfather clocks to start an old folks' home.
Oh, really, Roger. Stop exaggerating. I'm going to use everything I bought.
Kay, dear heart, light of my life,
what do you intend to do with the spinning wheel you bought three years ago?
Well, I... I may make a platter out of it.
You'd make a platter out of anything, wouldn't you?
Addison, please, doll. Let's go Sunday.
I promise you I won't buy. I'll just look.
Well, if you must look, come and have a look at the pawn shop
we laughingly call our garage.
Oh, really, Roger. What are you trying to prove?
I know what I bought.
I just want you to see why I have to park my car in the driveway every night.
Addison, I know what's in this garage,
and it's all stuff that we can use someday.
What kind of a platter is that going to make?
How did that get here?
Why, it's that old plow horse that Wilbur wanted to buy.
Wilbur, where do you think I ought to take her on Mother's Day?
Dad, we're going to have a lot of trouble with Carol.
You should never have phoned Mr. Dowd.
There comes a time when a horse has to take matters into his own hooves.
Well, I'd better phone Roger again and tell him I've got your mother in his garage.
Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo.
Anything else I can get you, dear?
No, thank you, honey.
Are you still angry with me, darling? I mean, about the other horse?
No, no, I see your side of it, dear.
I just hope you'll change your mind.
I don't want to see you obstinate.
That's my girl.
I mean, just promise me you'll keep an open mind. Sleep on it, huh?
All right, Wilbur. I'd better get back to my roast.
Let me carry that for you.
Honey, if you change your mind about that other horse, I think I can get you a quick delivery.
Wilbur.
I, uh, believe this belongs to your herd.
Roger, where'd you get the horse?
Do you like horses? Carol?
Wilbur, there must be an explanation for this.
Yeah? Well, let's hear it.
Wilbur, how could you?
You'll excuse me if I miss this preliminary bout.
I'm fighting in the main event next door.
Keep an open mind. Quick delivery.
That horse goes to the barn.
Keep an open mind. Quick delivery. That horse goes back this instant.
Carol.
Wilbur, right now.
Carol, please.
Right now, Wilbur. Take that horse back right now.
Oh!
Ed, I'm sorry. I tried.
Can I say goodbye to Mama?
Oh, my God.
Hmm. Hmm.
Cheer up, Ed.
Hmm.
Mother, you are growing old.
Silver threads among the gold. Hmm.
Breakfast in a few minutes.
Is he still angry about returning that other horse?
I guess so.
Husbands can be so stubborn.
Do you know that Addison actually believes that I'm not going to that auction today?
And you're not.
Yes, I am.
Good morning, Wilbur. No, you're not.
Good morning, Wilbur. Yes, I am.
Good morning. What's going on around here?
Oh, they're just discussing going to the auction today.
And we decided against it.
Carol would like to go.
Only if it's all right with you, dear.
Oh, yeah. Well, no.
No, I thought we'd just relax around the house today.
Wilbur, you're a man after my own heart.
Well, I'll be right back. I've got to feed Ed.
Hurry, dear. Breakfast will be ready in just a few minutes.
Morning, Ed. How's...
Ed?
Went home to mother.
He must have just left.
The crown is still wet.
Addison, please.
I promise you that we'll only stay at the auction for an hour.
Half hour?
Breakfast is ready.
Fifteen minutes?
We'll just drive by?
My dear, you are not buying any wagon wheels today.
Wilbur and I have decided against it.
Why do you men always stick together?
Because every day of a married man's life is Custer's last stand.
Well, let's finish up breakfast and get down to that auction.
I have just been scalped.
All right, folks, the auction will start in a few minutes.
The auction will start in a few minutes now.
Pardon me, sir.
Yes, sir, what can I... Oh, it's you.
Now, look, Mr. Post, that wasn't fair.
Buying my horse on the telephone and then sending her back.
Anything you buy today is strictly cash on the barrel head.
I'm sorry. Have you seen my horse around here?
What makes you think he'd be around here?
Well, he left a note saying he was going back to mother.
Well, uh, I...
I guess I'd better start the auction.
Wilbur, have you seen Kay? I've been looking all over for her.
No.
I've got to find her before the bidding starts or I'll walk home in a barrel.
All right, folks. All right, gather around.
Now, we got some right powerful bargains for you lucky people.
Now, the first item is this sturdy plow horse.
Got a lot of hard working years left in her yet.
Now, who'll start the bidding?
$10.
$15.
$20.
All right, I hear $20. Do I hear $25?
$25.
$30.
$35.
$35. I have $35. Do I hear $40?
Ed, what are you doing?
Buying my mother. Do you mind?
$40 anyone? $40, $40, $40 anyone?
Thank you.
But you know we can't take her home.
$45.
$45. I have $45. Do I hear $50?
Ed, you don't have any money. How are you going to pay?
This is my mother.
I'll beg, I'll work, I'll steal, I'll do anything.
$50, $50, do I hear $50?
$50.
Thank you. I have $50, $50, $50. Do I hear $55?
Wilbur, what's Miss Ed doing here?
Do I hear $55?
All right. $50 once, $50 twice, $50...
$55.
Sold to that man for $55.
Wilbur, why did you buy that horse?
Honey, because that is Mr. Ed's mother, believe me.
I bought her and I'm going to give her to some nice family,
maybe with a couple of kids who can love her
and make her last year's happy ones.
All right, honey.
I don't mind if you're an animal lover,
as long as you keep on being a wife lover.
I better go find Kay.
Wilbur, if you were a girl, I'd kiss you.
I think I will anyway.
All right, folks. Who'll give me $15?
Believe me, it's a steal.
$15.
$17.
$20.
$22.
$22, $22, I've got $22. Do I hear $23?
Why don't you go up to $50?
$50 sold to that gentleman with a mustache for $50.
Oh, thank you, doll. You bought me my wagon wheel.
I just bought a $50 wagon wheel.
Congratulations. It should make a beautiful planter.
I was on a steady course, talked to Mr. Ed
People yakety yak the streak and waste your time a day
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And this one will talk to his voice, his horse
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this
I am Mr. Ed

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
Three quarters of a mile and eleven.
Morning, Ed.
Morning.
What happened to the sports section?
I'm reading it.
Hey, wait, I'm not through yet.
You know I like to read it with my coffee.
Well, I like to read it with my hay.
Well, I'm sorry.
Why did you mark the horse racing?
Why did you mark the horse racing?
Don't worry, I'm not betting.
Hello, Roger. Want me to get you a cup of coffee?
No, thanks.
Oh, what's this?
Are you playing the horses?
No, I even think the merry-go-round is fixed.
Well, then who made these selections?
Would you believe it if I told you it was Mr. Red?
Well, I'll tell you the truth.
The little boy who delivers the paper is a tout.
Wilbur, you surprised me.
I thought you had more sense than to play the races.
If you must throw your money away, give it to your wife.
Believe me, I never gamble.
You know, I had a good friend who lost a fortune on the races.
Then he started drinking.
First one bottle a day, and then two.
Finally, he was buying it by the case.
You know what happened to that man?
Owns his own liquor store?
It wasn't funny to my friend.
He lost his family, his business, his home.
They darn near kicked him out of the Harvard Club.
Look, Roger, I appreciate your concern,
but believe me, it isn't necessary.
Well, girls, how's the charity drive coming along?
We've never had no said to us in so many different ways.
I never thought it would be so hard to collect money for a milk fund.
How much did you get?
Uh, $40.
Does that include the 20 I gave you this morning?
Mm-hmm.
Does that include the 20 I gave you this morning?
I guess we didn't have such a good day.
Hey, I have a thought.
Why not let Wilbur run your $40 into a few thousand at the charity drive?
Why not let Wilbur run your $40 into a few thousand at the charity drive?
Race track?
Wilbur, you don't...
Wilbur, have you been betting on the horses?
Of course not, honey.
Oh, no.
He just marked off these horses' names because it's their birthday
and he wants to send them some presents.
Come, dear.
Wilbur, take my advice. Forget the races.
And just to remove any temptation, I'll take this along with me.
And incidentally, you're saving a dime.
Oh, yeah?
Well, how about Mabel?
Well, if you deduct what we spent for gas, stationary, phone, and circulars,
our charity drive has already lost $15.
Okay, kid. Talk to you later.
May I come in?
Oh, hi, Roger.
Is Wilbur here?
He's upstairs.
Wilbur!
You must be excited about his luck today.
What luck?
Why, your husband picked eight winners.
Eight winners?
At the race track.
Well, here, look for yourself.
Here are Wilbur's selections, and here are the winners.
Hi, Roger. I'll be right back.
Honey, you... you picked eight winners.
Winners?
Yes, at the race track.
Oh, that's nice.
I picked eight winners?
Yes, you did.
They are.
What do you know? Eight in a row. Not bad.
I didn't bet.
Sure, kid.
I didn't.
Will you excuse me, Roger? I've got to feed Ed.
Is it possible he didn't bet?
Oh, I'm sure he didn't.
You say that so calmly.
If I picked eight winners and didn't bet,
my wife would be on her way to Reno.
Ed, you picked eight winners.
Well, there were only eight races.
Ed, how did you get so lucky?
Not luck. Just horse sense.
You mean you can actually pick the horses?
Better than you can pick people.
What's the secret? How do you do it?
Simple. I see who's running, and I pick the best.
How do you know so much about horses?
Isn't that a stupid question?
Yes, yes. Eight winners. That's amazing.
Look, I've got a reward for you.
Hey, neighbor, let me give you a hand with that.
Thanks. I think I can manage from here.
Well, if a man can't help a friend, what good is he?
It's true.
Oh, by the way, Wilbur, you know, you were just lucky today.
You could never pick eight winners in a row again.
Yes, I could. But what's the difference? You don't play the races.
No, no, no, no. Of course not.
I'm just interested from the scientific point of view.
Oh, is that why you're being so helpful this evening?
Oh, Wilbur, please.
Now, just to satisfy me,
would you make some selections for tomorrow?
I'd rather not, Rog.
Oh, admit it. You were just lucky.
Once they get on the track,
nobody can tell what these stupid animals are liable to do.
Look, Roger, I don't...
Okay, Roger.
You call out the list of tomorrow's entries,
and I'll give you the winners.
Good. First race. Eskibam.
No.
Bleak Lady.
No.
Sunny Boy.
Sunny Boy?
Uh, Sunny Boy.
Yeah, that's the winner. Sunny Boy.
Sunny Boy?
Well, he's 80 to 1.
According to this handicapper, he's never beaten any of these other nags.
Well, tomorrow, he's... he's running for revenge.
I can hardly wait to check the paper tonight.
Then we'll see how good you really are.
Now, the second race.
Maybe the boy didn't deliver the paper yet.
It could be up on the roof.
Kid's got a great pitching arm. Lots of speed, but no control.
Oh, here it is.
Yeah.
Now we'll cut you down to size, my boy.
Roger, are you a sporting man?
What do you have in mind?
If I picked eight winners again, you carry me into the house.
If I didn't, I carry you.
You're on.
You can put me down here, driver.
What on earth is going on?
You never carried me over the threshold.
My dear, you never picked eight horses in a row.
Again?
Again?
Yes. Eight yesterday, eight today.
It's only 16 winners. That's all the fuss about.
Kay, how much money do we have in the bank?
Oh, how fabulous. We'll all be rich.
My mink will be wearing sable.
A laden hatter's lamp. We have our Wilbur.
I wonder when the new model yachts come up.
How do you pick them?
Yes, when did you find out you had this power?
Tell us, Swami.
It all happened a few days ago.
I was on the phone with my mom, concentrating on some sketches.
All of a sudden, I had a strange sensation.
And I found myself circling horses on the sports page.
Too sour, too sour.
May I touch you?
Wilbur, what time do we leave for the track tomorrow?
Why wait for tomorrow? Aren't there any night races?
I'll milk-drive.
We'll have all the money we need.
Milk-drive? Why, with Wilbur on our side,
those kids are going to be drinking champagne.
Look, Roger, I don't bet, and I thought you were opposed to gambling.
My boy backing you is not gambling, it's hoarding.
Now get busy. Take him. Go ahead.
Get him a pencil.
Pencil? Here, Wilbur, take my pen. Keep it. Go on.
I don't like to bet.
You bet for matchsticks, we'll bet for money.
Honey, for the charity drive, please.
Well, if it's for charity,
I'd better go in the barn and concentrate.
You want me to carry you?
I'll help you.
Please.
What a brilliant man I married.
Oh, he's not just yours now, Carol.
He belongs to the world.
Hollywood Park, five million.
Hialeah, five million.
Ed, what do you mean you can't pick any more winners?
I don't like betting for money.
It's against my principles.
You got me into this.
They think I have the power. What can I tell them?
Tell them you blew a fuse.
Aqueduct. Short season, three million.
Come up.
Twenty-five million.
Give the government 24 million.
Oh, well. Easy come, easy go.
Oh, back so soon?
Where are your selections?
I don't have them.
Oh, you left them in your office, huh?
I'll go get them. Here, sit down, my boy.
Sit right here. Relax.
Roger, I haven't got any.
You haven't?
Oh, you don't like the horses today, huh?
Well, that's all right. We'll pick them some other day.
You know, nothing lost except the interest on the money.
Roger, I'm afraid I'm never going to pick the horses again.
Roger, I must have lost the knack.
I tried, but it just wouldn't come.
Sorry, Roger.
Why, darling, what's wrong?
We've been wiped out.
What? What happened?
Now I know how Benedict Arnold's wife must have felt.
Come, dear.
You're not in the house of a friend.
Please, my dear.
I'm not worth it.
Please, my dear. I'm not well.
Just look at them.
I wish Roger would start talking to Wilbur.
If only Wilbur would let him win a few races.
Oh, it's not Wilbur's fault he lost the knack of picking horses.
Does he ever talk in his sleep?
Sometimes.
Well, if he ever mumbles a long shot, jot it down.
I just read about a wonderful new spray for roses.
It's a homemade dust.
You mix nine parts of dusting sulfur with one part of arsenate of lead.
Who's going to win the first race?
I don't know.
Go play with your arsenate.
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
Ed, just one winner?
Just the seventh race. The big one?
No, I couldn't live with myself.
Ed, please.
May I quote you from Oscar Wilde?
Oscar Wilde?
He does not win who plays with sin.
Well, I've got one for you.
He gets no dinner who picks no winner.
What fool said that?
I did.
I mean...
Oh, I don't need your help.
I'll pick the seventh race myself.
That's easy.
Devil's tail.
Is it going to win?
Is it going to lose?
Is it a horse?
I think we need some fresh air.
Oh, I guess I shouldn't have volunteered to head our charity drive.
Maybe one of the other girls could do a better job.
Oh, don't blame yourself, sweetie.
It's the kids I'm thinking about.
That milk fund's very important to them.
I didn't make some bets yesterday when Wilbur picked all those winners.
Do you really think he's lost his touch?
Oh, he must have.
He certainly wouldn't refuse to pick winners to help a cause like this.
Say, Wilbur.
Yeah?
You should have told me it was for the milk fund.
You mean you're going to pick today's winners?
Only for today.
Oh, thanks, Ed.
Imagine picking Devil's tail.
That horse will finish two lengths behind his own tail.
Thanks, Ed.
Stop it.
What do I tell them?
There must be some other way to make money.
Wow.
Carol, hey, I've got the touch again.
I'm going to pick the winners today.
Oh, darling.
Oh, I'll tell Addison.
Addison!
Thank heaven you've come home to us.
Aren't you angry at me anymore?
Golden boy, was I ever angry with you?
I'll need a few minutes alone to make my selection.
Of course, of course.
Everybody out of the yard.
My friend wants privacy.
Out, out, out.
Adol!
Shh.
Do you think I'd look better in a blue yacht or a pink one?
Don't be chintzy, dear.
Why, both.
In the eighth race, who will be blue?
Five pounds over at 118 pounds.
Uh, king's ransom to win.
That's number three.
Thank you.
Number three, of course.
Buddy boy.
The horses are approaching the starting gate.
Let's go, honey.
Oh, I hope we win.
Oh, I can see those mink sails on my yacht now.
The starting gate.
The flag is up.
And coming around the turn, it's Clyver in front,
followed by blue boy, windstorm is up.
Where are you going, honey?
I want to be first in line to collect my money.
But we've got king's ransom.
And he's dead last.
Oh, I knew we couldn't do it three days in a row.
And at the top of the stretch, it's Clyver.
Clyver moving along the rail.
Oh, here comes king's ransom.
It's king's ransom.
Oh, and underhand with the boat.
Coming down the line, it's king's ransom.
Wait for me, golden boy.
Four winners in a row on all long shots.
You're a genius.
Four long shots in a row?
What's he got in this one?
Lady's choice.
Can't lose.
Can I have a look at it, please?
Follow my friend's advice.
It's like stealing money.
Lady's choice.
Likewise.
Wilbur, aren't you going to watch the race?
Why bother walking back to the box?
Let's just wait here for our money.
He sure is confident, ain't he?
My friend, a bank would lend you any amount on his predictions.
Lady's choice.
Number four, please.
Thank you.
Number four.
Likewise.
Likewise.
Well, who's going to win the next race?
Oh, why is one...
My selection is Bluebell.
Bluebell.
Bluebell.
Come along with me, please.
Mr. Post, according to Detective Weems, you picked six long shots in a row.
Is that against the law?
Of course not.
But as steward of this track, I am naturally curious about your good fortune.
Naturally.
Have you been getting advice from any of the jockeys?
No, sir.
The owners?
The trainers?
Then who has been advising you?
My horse.
Mr. Post, you promised to cooperate.
Now, you please tell us who has been giving you these tips.
Ed.
Ed who?
My horse doesn't have a last name.
He must have a last name.
I can see that you're not getting anywhere.
Gentlemen, I can clear this whole thing up with one phone call.
May I use your phone?
Go ahead, Ed.
Thank you.
Post residence.
Oh, Ed, it's me.
I'm at the racetrack.
Ed, isn't it true that you've been giving me all the winners today?
Sure, I gave you all the winners.
Hello, this is Mr. Gray, the steward.
Who is this?
Mr. Ed, the horse.
I don't know what you're doing, Post, but whatever it is, stop it.
Yes.
Oh, if either of you gentlemen want to bet the seventh race, the winner will be Prince Charming.
Prince Charming?
Yes, my horse just told me that Mrs. Prince Charming had a baby last week, so he'll be trying to win for the kid.
What happened to your friend?
Yeah, who are we going to bet on the seventh race?
I don't know.
Oh, yes, I do.
Here he is.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Quiet, quiet, please.
Quiet, everyone, please.
Ah, it is Prince Charming.
Prince Charming!
Prince Charming!
Prince Charming!
Attention, Prince Charming, number seven, has been declared.
Hey, did you hear that?
Prince Charming is back.
What's your next choice?
Come on, what is your next choice?
Please, please.
Don't panic.
My goodness, there's plenty of money for everybody.
Well, Wilbur?
I don't know.
Prince Charming was my only choice.
Oh, come on, you've got to have some other one you like.
Look at all the horses that are running.
Oh, please, come on.
Gentlemen, he has circled Devil's Tail.
Devil's Tail!
The horses are at the starting gate.
The big race is going to start pretty soon.
The girls had better hurry back.
What's the rush?
We didn't bet this race.
Well, all I'm winning is on Devil's Tail.
Oh, that's right.
I may sell my house and move into my bank.
What did you do?
Who told you to bet on Devil's Tail?
I did.
I borrowed your newspaper from your pocket.
That horse can't win.
I picked it myself this morning.
You picked all of them, darling.
They're off to that running.
He shouldn't have bet on Devil's Tail.
He hasn't got a chance.
Out in front, it's Devil's Tail on top by a break.
Six winners.
How greedy can you be?
It's Devil's Tail by a break.
Remember, I picked him all by myself.
It's Devil's Tail on top by a break.
I was just sitting in the office, you know.
Nobody yelled at me.
Just by sheer logic, I decided to pick on Devil's Tail.
And the deer's hopper still fighting on the outside.
He's holding it on Devil's Tail.
The winner of the third prize is Snowflake,
Snowflake,
and the winner of the second prize is Milk Flake.
Well, you can't win them all.
I can't bear to think of it.
My pretty blue yacht sank in the seventh race.
My twelve apartment building.
I think of all that money we could have had for that milk fund.
Oh, wait a minute, honey.
Here's some money for your milk fund.
Where did you get all this money?
I didn't bet on the seventh race.
You didn't?
My mother didn't raise me to be a gambler.
My mother didn't raise me to be a gambler.
Oh, you know where?
Right there, right there.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And no one can talk to a horse, of course.
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. A.
Go right to the source and ask the horse.
He'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. A.
He'll booyakity yak the streak and waste your time a day.
But Mr. A will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And this one will talk to his voice, his voice.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this.
I am Mr. A.

Hello.
This is Paul Fenton.
Just a minute.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Fenton.
Oh, thanks, Ed.
I ought to teach you shorthand.
I'd look silly sitting on your lap.
Okay.
Hello, this is Mr. Post.
I'm Paul Fenton.
I'm looking for an architect to design my new house, and my sister-in-law, Kay Addison,
recommended you.
Kay?
Well, that's very nice of her.
Ed, quiet, this is important.
When can we get together, Mr. Fenton?
Can you meet me in my office tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock?
The address is 1040 North Sunset Boulevard.
I got it.
Yeah, I'll see you in the morning.
Thank you.
Well, that was nice of Kay, wasn't it, huh?
Buddy boy.
Yeah?
How about some oats for your secretary?
How about some more?
I'm a growing horse.
Keep pouring.
Okay, I want to thank you for the recommendation.
Your brother-in-law called me about his new house.
Oh, you'll love Paul, he's a doll.
Kay, is this the brother-in-law who owns that music publishing company?
Yes, it's a very popular company.
I have a father who owns it.
I'm the father of such immortal garbage as,
I call my mother father cause I never had a dad.
Oh, and that other masterpiece of his,
I'm all dressed up with a hole in my heart.
Well, that sold over 200,000 copies.
What fool would buy a thing like that?
Wilbur bought a copy for me.
Well, I got it free with a pound of prunes.
When are you seeing Paul?
At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Should either of you gentlemen tell me if Mr. Fenton is in?
Oh, he's in, man.
But he's gone.
I mean, way out, man.
You dig?
Are you Post?
No, you must be Post.
Come on in.
Say, Mr. Fenton, we've been on ice here for a week.
Take five, boys.
Come in my office, Mr. Post.
Kay's been saying some wonderful things about you.
Musicians, musicians, millions of musicians,
but so few good songs, right?
Well, I'd take a look at this, my biggest smash.
I'm all dressed up with a hole in my heart,
I've got a hole in my heart,
I've got a hole in my heart,
I've got a hole in my heart,

you taking up another instrument?
I happen to be Scottish
and I'm very proud of the bagpipes.
Honey, you're so puffed up.
Maybe you'd better rest your face a while.
You don't like the bagpipes, do you?
Well...
it sounds like a cat yelling for help.
I'll overlook that.
Honey, Paul Fenton asked me to try to remember this tune,
and sometimes when you play an instrument,
a forgotten melody comes back.
I hate to say it, but I think you're scaring it away
with that noise.
-♪
I'll get it.
Oh, hello, Paul.
Hi, Wilbur. I was just passing by when I...
Oh, vacuuming the house?
No, no, I'm trying to remember
the rest of that little tune for you.
Come on in. Oh, thanks very much.
Carol, this is Paul Fenton. It's my wife, Carol.
Hello, Mr. Fenton. My pleasure, Mrs. Post.
I just happened to be in the neighborhood,
well, not exactly in the neighborhood,
about eight or ten miles away, and I, uh,
I thought I'd drop in.
Wilbur, I hope you remember the rest of that tune.
It's been driving me mad.
Well, I'm trying to recapture it with my bagpipes.
Is he gonna play it or milk it?
I'm not sure myself.
-♪
We thought your horse was in pain.
Oh, no.
Hi there, Sister-in-law, you great big, gorgeous,
beautiful thing you...
How I esphynx.
Hello, Paul.
Come, Kay, we were just leaving.
No, no, no, stick around.
Be right back, Paul.
I want to get that preliminary sketch for you.
Kay?
Maybe you can help us remember a certain tune.
What tune?
Well, that's the trouble, we don't know.
Yeah, Wilbur hummed a piece in my office this morning
that has all the makings of a great big hit.
Just what the country needs,
another record monstrosity.
Please, Roger, don't try to tell me how to pick songs.
I very rarely miss.
Yeah?
How about the time you turned down Easter Parade?
It's my fault.
I figured that song could be good for only one day
and I didn't even think about it.
I figured that song could be good for only one day a year.
What about White Christmas?
I gave that one a week.
And don't mention September Song or I may kill myself.
September Song.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Shit.
Where did you hear that?
Hear what?
That tune, the one you were just humming.
Oh, that.
Just a little something I composed once.
You wrote a song?
It wasn't hoagie.
This is great.
I've been trying to remember that tune all day.
How does it go?
Give me an A, Wilbur.
An A, Wilbur.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
There must be a middle and an ending to this tune.
Let's try it again.
Sound like three wounded bumblebees.
Kay, can you give me one good reason why you married him?
I needed new shoes.
That's good enough.
Yeah, let's try it again.
I got it.
I got it.
I remember the whole tune.
Well, let's hear it, Wilbur.
Let's hear it.
Something I made up a long time ago.
Wilbur.
You made up a song?
It wasn't hoagie.
It's a mystery on my bagpipes.
You'll excuse me.
It's getting late.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Wilbur, couldn't you just hum it?
I'll let you build me a bigger house.
Good, let's hear it.
Paul, don't be so impatient.
I'm trying to write the words to this tune.
I'm working on it now.
Oh, well, just a minute.
He's here.
I'll ask him.
Paul wants to know if you want to invest some money in his company.
He figures this song of mine's gonna be a hit and he wants...
I don't think he's interested.
No.
Well, look, I'll call you back as soon as I finish the lyrics.
Okay.
Oh, Paul.
Say, how do you like the plans for the house?
Thanks.
We're seeing ya.
Moon, juice, boom, gloom, solo, spit tune.
Please, I'm trying to write the lyrics for our tune.
Our? When did I make you a partner?
I didn't know it was so tough to write lyrics.
Why don't you use mine?
Please, Ed, I'm trying...
You wrote words for your tune?
Well, if Gershwin could, why can't I?
Let's hear them. What's the title?
Pretty Little Filly.
Pretty Little Filly? That's cute.
She thought so, too.
She?
Yeah, the little filly I was running around with at the time.
Okay, Ed, let's hear the words.
Well, sound your A.
Okay.
Close enough.
I love it, Wilbur. I love the title, Pretty Little Filly.
It's great for the teenagers.
Now, let me hear the lyrics.
The lyrics?
Sure, Paul. He wants me to sing the lyrics.
Well, you ruined my song.
Better let me sing it.
Hello, Paul.
Look, there's a friend of mine here. He's gonna sing it.
He's got a much better voice than I have.
Are you listening?
Good.
Got to date a little later
When the moon is on the trail
With the cutest triple gator
My pretty little filly with a ponytail
It's beautiful.
Just beautiful. It can't miss.
It's got to be a hit, Wilbur. It's got to be a hit.
Paul seems like such a nice fellow. Why doesn't Roger like him?
I don't think Addison's ever forgiven him for what he did at our wedding.
Oh? What was that?
Paul is very emotional.
And when the minister pronounced his man and wife,
he rushed up and kissed me before Addison.
But I think that's terribly funny.
You do?
Yes.
What's so funny, Carol?
Kenny was just telling me something funny that happened to her at the beauty parlor.
Good news! Good news!
I just gave Paul my lyrics and he says
that Pretty Little Filly is gonna be his first big hit of the season.
That big lyric?
First big hit of the season.
That big loud mouth couldn't be first at anything.
He was at your wedding.
Paul told me what happened at the ceremony.
I hate a man who kisses and tells.
Hello?
Oh, yes, Paul.
What?
A 40-piece orchestra?
That's right. I'm setting up a recording date.
Oh, and tell your friend to keep himself available.
What friend?
The fellow with the deep voice. I want him to sing the song.
But does it have to be him?
Of course it has to be him!
He has just the right sound.
You don't understand, Wilbur.
He's the one who's going to make us rich.
Doesn't that make you happy?
Wilbur, say something.
No.
Ed, stop saying no.
No.
Stop it.
Fenton wants the same voice he heard on the phone to make the record.
Did you tell him I'm a horse?
Not yet.
Well, let's keep it that way, buddy boy.
But Ed!
You know I only talk in front of you.
I'm not asking you to talk. I'm asking you to sing.
You're quibbling.
I don't want to pressure you, Ed.
But if you don't make this record,
Fenton is liable to cancel a deal to build his house.
Hi, fellas. Is Mr. Fenton in?
Gee, man, I don't know.
We've only been here a month.
Wilbur, come on in.
Thank you.
Won't be long, boys.
Now, now, now. Sit down, Wilbur.
Make yourself comfortable.
What's it going to be, Wilbur?
Something to eat, drink?
I know, champagne. I'll order the works.
My friend can't sing the song.
Operator, get...
Can't sing the song?
We'll have to get somebody else.
Wilbur, I don't want anybody else.
I want the fellow with the deep voice.
He's got a quality that just fits me.
That just fits, pretty little filly.
Well, I'm sorry, but he isn't available.
Ah, he's out of town.
No, he's in my barn.
In that case, we get nothing.
He's in your barn?
Paul, my horse wrote the song.
Your horse wrote...
Ha! Ha!
What a sense of humor!
For a minute, you had me fooled.
Your horse wrote the song.
Ha, ha, ha, what a gig!
Wait till I tell the boys down at the club about this.
That's the funniest thing I've...
Wilbur, you're not laughing.
My horse really did write the song.
Wilbur, I'll get you a cold towel.
Look, he would tell you himself,
only he won't talk to anybody but me.
He won't... the horse.
He wrote the song?
Yeah.
He wrote the lyrics, too?
He just sat down at the piano and knocked off the tune?
A horse can't play the piano.
Of course not, his hooves are too big to get on the keys.
He has a harmonica.
Wilbur, let's face it.
You don't want me to have the song.
You want to sell it to a bigger company.
That is not true.
Aha! I know what it is, it's that Addison.
He's the one who's responsible for this whole thing.
Instead of kissing her at the wedding,
I should have shot him.
Paul, about the house...
maybe you'd like to get another architect.
Please, please.
How can I think about that now?
I still don't know why you won't tell us who your singer is.
What's the difference? He won't sing.
It's a shame.
I just talked to my sister,
and she says that Paul is just heartbroken.
Shake hands with your new partner.
Partner?
That song of yours kept running through my mind,
and I said to myself, this is going to be a hit.
I walked into Paul's office and said,
now Paul, forget about my personal feeling towards you,
this is business.
This song of Wilbur's can't miss,
and I want to get in on the process.
Well, he just looked at me, didn't say a word.
Just pocketed my check,
and why are you all staring at me?
Come, doll, I'll make you some cocoa and put you to bed.
But I don't want to go to bed.
You will after you hear the news.
Well, we just lost a neighbor.
Oh, no, honey, don't say that.
Why, Roger is a very intelligent man,
and when Kay explains to him what happened...
Oh, no!
Oh!
What were you saying?
We just lost a neighbor.
All right, getting late.
We better turn in.
Oh, honey, look.
All that fencing. He just won't give up.
Wilbur.
Paul, you're a good man.
You're a good man.
Paul, it's useless.
Wilbur, please talk to your friend.
Beg him to sing Pretty Little Filly for us.
It's a bright song, a happy song,
and the country could use a little cheering up now.
Don't ask me, ask him.
All right.
Still sticking to the same old story.
Our country needs my song, and you turn him down.
Me?
You'll benedict Arnold.
You mean you'll sing Pretty Little Filly?
On one condition.
One condition? What is it?
Now, listen.
You don't have to...
Morning, fellas.
No, no! Don't jump!
What jump? I was just fixing the Venetian blind.
Paul, I'm gonna record that song for you.
You?
Yeah. I'm the fellow with the deep voice.
That was me you heard on the phone.
Oh, come on. Now Wilbur, a joke's a joke.
Yeah, it's true.
It's just that when I sing in front of people,
I get nervous and my voice changes completely.
It's sort of like Jekyll and Hyde.
Jekyll and Hyde.
Jekyll sings high, and Hyde is the low one.
Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll get you a small recording studio.
No, no, no. No studio.
We'll record in my barn.
Barn?
The acoustics are just great.
You did say barn.
Well, where am I gonna put the orchestra?
No 40-piece orchestra. Just a small combo.
Man, we've cut records in some weird places before,
but this is the wildest.
Imagine.
Married to a man and I never even knew he could sing.
I was married to Addison for 10 years
before I found out he could wiggle his ears.
Give us a wiggle, doll.
Here he comes.
Excuse me, friends. It's showtime.
Oh, Wilbur.
Are you sure you want that horse in the same stall with you?
He's liable to make some noise.
Well, I hope he doesn't.
I don't know.
I don't know.
He's liable to make some noise.
Well, I hope so.
I mean, he's my good luck piece.
Thor horseshoes?
All right, fellas, stand by.
All right, men.
One, two.
Got to date a little later
When the moon is on the trail
With the cutest triple gator
My pretty little filly with a ponytail
Got a bag of oats to call with
Hey, I'll bring her by the bale
Want to share a double stall
With the pretty little filly with a ponytail
Gee, if she would just agree
She'd be mine today
But no matter when I ask
The answer's always nay, nay, nay, nay
If she'd name that day of wedlock
I would be there without fail
Got the ring made for her fatlock
The pretty little filly with a ponytail
Ponytail
Well, Ed, what do you think of our song?
It's a gas, sir.
Gas, gas, gas, gas, gas, gas
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And no one can talk to a horse, of course
That is, of course, unless

How are the carrots, Ed?
Delicious.
Want some more?
No, thanks, I've had it.
Wilbur?
Yeah?
I'm lucky.
Nice table, all the food I can eat, and a wonderful owner.
You deserve it, Ed.
Why don't you adopt me and make it legal?
You're already one of the family.
Minus you, Carol, and me.
Just the three of us.
That's my boy.
Wilbur, how would you like to join me for lunch?
You know, a nice meat sandwich, some french fried potatoes, pickles?
Sounds good.
Would you mind preparing it?
Why don't we wait until the girls get back, huh?
Oh, you know where my wife is?
She's with Carol.
Today they're working for the Humane Society.
There they go again.
Once again, our dear wives are off on another one of their civic projects.
In the meantime, we join the Legion of the Hungry.
Yep, stomach's synonymous.
There should be a Humane Society for husbands.
Oh, do you mind if I browse through your refrigerator?
I looked in mine and even the light was out.
Help yourself.
Thank you.
In the meantime, in case the cupboard is bare, throw me a carrot.
What's that?
You can bet it ain't a horse.
I wish Addison would let me buy a poodle.
Doesn't he like dogs?
He barely tolerates me.
Oh, come on, Pierre.
Come to your Aunt Kay.
Oh, girls.
Oh, hi, honey.
Cute little dog.
Whose is it?
Ours.
Oh, honey, Kay and I have been working at the pound and he was so cute, I just couldn't resist bringing him home.
Honey, I don't mind you getting a dog, but couldn't you get a man's dog?
I mean, these dogs are so frail and pute and...
Welcome to the family.
Well, he's a cute little thing, isn't he?
What's his name?
Pierre.
He's a lost dog.
Nobody claimed him.
If you offer him a biscuit, he rolls over.
If somebody offered me a biscuit, I'd roll over, too.
Oh, come on, doll.
I'll fix your lunch right now.
Did I neglect my sweetheart?
I don't know about him, but I'm starving.
Oh, come on.
Roger, wait.
Don't you want to see the cute tricks Pierre can do?
I do not like these barking, noisy creatures.
He can't forget the time that a dog bit him on the beach.
Neither can the dog.
I bit him right back.
Come on, Pete.
Come on, Pierre.
Let's see if you can do some tricks.
Yeah.
Oh, you're so cute.
Maybe you can sit up, huh?
Yeah, Pete.
Come on, Pierre.
Sit up.
Sit up.
Sit up.
Come on, sit.
Oh, look.
Hey, that's great.
Isn't that adorable?
Just the three of us here.
Carol, I want you and Wilbur to see the sweater that I got for little Pierre.
Sure, come on over.
Addison doll, wait till you see what I just bought.
Woman, have you no regard for money?
Of course.
I love it.
Then why do you get rid of it so fast?
How do you like it?
Beautiful.
Wear it in good health.
No, it's for Pierre.
My money is buying ermine for a dog?
How come you didn't buy a mink?
Don't be silly, doll.
It wouldn't go with his coloring.
Ermine for a dog, and I have to scrounge for a sandwich.
Carol, look what I got for Pierre.
Any dog would love it, wouldn't he?
Oh, it's adorable.
Wilbur, look, an ermine sweater for Pierre.
Oh, Roger, you shouldn't.
Oh, Wilbur, I didn't.
I hope it's the right size.
If it's too small, Pierre can always wear it as a stole.
Oh, Wilbur, look.
Hold still, Pierre.
You'll love every minute of it.
Beautiful fit.
Isn't it a beautiful fit, Roger?
Like the cut of a pocket.
I like it.
Darling.
It just suits him.
It's marvelous.
This town's not big enough for both of us.
That French mutt's gotta go.
It's one o'clock.
Up, Pierre.
Rise and shine.
Bark.
Wake up that Roger Addison.
Louder, Pierre.
Let's hear it for all day.
Come on.
Bark.
Bark.
That's a nice little stupid dog.
I knew this would happen.
I knew it.
I knew it.
Oh, please don't call, Wilbur.
It's one o'clock and you'll wake them.
Fine.
We'll have a pajama party.
Wrong number.
Please, doll, they're our friends.
Don't start anything.
I am not going to spend the rest of my life falling out of bed at one o'clock in the morning.
Calm yourself, sweetheart.
Oh, there's a nice doggie.
Doll.
Let's go to sleep.
Sorry I'm late with your breakfast, Ed, but I had to feed Pierre.
You know it's hard to find out what a little dog wants.
Well, that's okay.
As long as the little fella's happy.
Say, I hope his barking didn't wake you up last night.
What barking?
Didn't hear a thing.
Wilbur, there's something I'd like to talk to you about.
I know.
I'm sorry our dog woke you up last night.
It won't happen again.
Oh, you sold him?
No.
I'm going to spend the day teaching him not to bark.
You're a strange man, Wilbur.
First a horse, now a dog.
I hope the camels move in.
Anybody who doesn't like dogs is no good in my book.
Hey, meatloaf, rise and shine.
I'm Grouch Addison.
Come on, Pierre, bark.
Wilbur's training got to him.
Come on, Pierre, bark.
Like this.
Arf, arf, arf.
That's it, keep it up.
Never mind my butt pressure.
I'm going to get that mutter on Mugrazu.
Arf, arf, arf.
What's he worried about?
About him waking up out of a sound sleep.
Oh, poor baby.
I wonder why he was barking.
Maybe he heard a noise.
Impossible.
He would have awakened dead.
Wilbur, you promised.
I think I've been very nice about this.
You're absolutely right.
What's wrong with little Pierre?
What is wrong with him?
Carol thinks the dog may have heard a sudden noise.
That was me falling out of bed.
Kids, don't be angry with Addison.
He's a little nervous because he hasn't been sleeping very much lately.
I mean, bye now.
Why can't you fall asleep?
He can't count sheep.
Maybe he's hungry.
Oh, I'll give him some more milk.
Ed.
Coming, Mother.
Oh, hi, Wilbur.
What's up?
Pierre woke up the Addisons again with his barking.
That poor little pup.
He's probably teething.
He might be right.
He needs love, affection, someone who cares.
Ed, you are all heart.
Oh.
We got to do something for that little dog.
I sure will.
Operator, get me the police department.
Oh, come on, Roger.
We want you over for breakfast.
Roger?
Roger?
What?
Why is that, Wilbur?
We want you and Kay over for breakfast.
I'm sorry about last night.
I promise you it won't happen again.
What do you say, Roger?
Will you come over?
We're having your favorite, Kipper's.
Roger?
Huh?
Kipper's?
No, no, this is not the Kipper residence.
You have the wrong number.
This is Mr. Addison.
Roger, don't hang up.
This is Wilbur.
Carol is having your favorite for breakfast.
Kipper's.
Kipper's.
Well, why didn't you say so?
Yeah, we'll be right over.
Kipper's?
Okay, honey, they're coming.
Oh, wonderful.
Kay once told me that Roger loves Kipper's.
Well, he'll flip over yours.
Nobody kips a Kipper like you do, kid.
Mr. Post?
Yes?
You own a dog?
Yes, what's wrong?
We've had a complaint that your dog's barking is waking the neighborhood.
What?
This is a warning.
Next time, we'll have to take action.
Who complained?
Mr. Thompson.
Thompson?
Officer, there's no Thompson in this neighborhood.
Well, you know how it is.
Neighbors sometimes hesitate to use their right name.
I'd keep that dog quiet if I were you.
Mr. Thompson.
I wonder who that is.
Kipper's.
Oh, that heavenly older...
Hello, Roger.
Good morning.
Oh, they look delicious.
Did I forget to say, may I?
Don't act so innocent, Mr. Thompson.
What are you talking about?
We're talking about a man who would stab his neighbor in the back when his dog was turned.
Now, go in the house and play with Addison.
Good morning, darlings.
Look at the cute little booties that I bought for Pierre.
No Kippers for me, no booties for that hound.
Don't you call my dog a hound.
Kay, you belong to the Humane Society.
How could you let Roger do a thing like that?
What did he do?
Eat all the Kippers?
They've accused me of turning their dog into the police.
They did?
Well, that wasn't very nice of you, Addison.
Kay, I did nothing.
Now, wait a minute, Thompson.
And stop calling me Thompson.
Honestly, you two.
Please sit down, Roger.
Here, honey, sit down here, please.
It'll soon be just the three of us again.
Pierre ought to love that little doghouse.
I can't get over that guy calling the police.
He makes Fagin look like a Girl Scout.
That Addison.
He brings out the beast in me.
If only you could buy back my introduction to him.
Post?
What is it, Thompson?
You know my name.
It's on that hammer you borrowed last week.
Since when is your name Sears Roebuck?
That's my initials right there, R-A.
Oh, Rotten Apple.
See here, Post.
You're tarnishing my belt buckle.
For your information, it will never tarnish.
I gave you that belt for your birthday,
and the buckle is solid gold.
Gold-plated.
Oh, I suppose you had it priced.
I didn't have to.
You left the price ticket in the box.
I'm not ashamed of what I paid for it.
That cost me $13.95.
$3.95?
You put a one in front of the three.
Look, the stores don't close till five.
Maybe you can get your money back.
I don't care about the $3.95.
I...
I don't see you returning that tie I gave you for Christmas.
Oh, oh, oh.
Temper, temper, temper.
I gave you something for Christmas, too.
All right.
Happy now?
No.
I gave you a hat.
And stop being childish.
Me, childish?
You phone the police, and I'm childish.
I did nothing of the kind.
Oh, what's the use?
Please get up.
You are denting my dichondra.
Roger, what happened?
Wilbur, where's your shirt?
Well, Mr. Thompson here.
I'll explain.
Carol, whatever you saw in that man,
it's not there anymore.
Come on now, boys.
Wait, Roger.
Wilbur, make up.
Say something.
Okay.
Get off my property.
Wilbur, please.
I do not want to discuss it anymore.
Idiots.
Here's something for your nerves, doll.
How can Wilbur accuse me of turning in his dog?
You never know who your friends are
until a thing like this happens.
Oh, you're right, dear.
Now tell me, why did you call the police?
Kay, you've got to believe me.
Well, you really don't like Pierre.
May I lose every penny I have in the bank
if I call the police?
Now I believe you.
Carol, sweetie?
Right here, Kay.
Sweetie, we've got to get this thing settled once and for all.
Now, where's Wilbur?
Upstairs.
Kay, if Roger would only apologize to Wilbur.
Well, that's why I came over.
Addison never called the police.
Are you sure?
He swore on his money belt,
and that's good enough for me.
Wilbur?
Wilbur?
Yes?
Kay is here, and she said that Roger
did not make that phone call.
Oh, then he's not really Mr. Thompson.
Well, if he were, then I'd be Mrs. Thompson.
Mr. Post?
I've just had another complaint.
I'm sorry, but I've come to pick up your dog.
What complaint?
That same Mr. Thompson again.
Does he sound like he had a mustache?
I don't know who he is,
but he sure doesn't like barking dogs.
Excuse me.
I'm afraid I'll have to pick up your dog.
Where is he?
He's out playing.
I'm afraid I'll have to pick up your dog.
Where is he?
He's out back.
Just a minute, officer.
Do you have a warrant to arrest that dog?
Yes, have you got one?
Oh, come now, folks.
Every dog has its rights.
Take it easy.
Our constitution guarantees freedom of speech.
A dog can't speak, so he barks.
Look, I've got a job to do.
Now, where'd that dog go?
There he is!
Come on!
Right here!
Right!
Right here!
Doll, you've got to take something for your nerves.
Kay, I did not make that first call nor the second,
and I don't understand why Wilbur doesn't believe me.
Well, sweetie, sometimes you don't believe me either.
We're married.
I'll have another pill.
I don't need a pill.
I've got one living next door,
and I'm going over there to talk with him right now.
But, Addison, dear, please, you'll be sick.
You're so nervous.
Bark!
Bark!
Bark!
Bark!
Bark!
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
You get out of my house.
I'm going to get my dog.
But, Addison, you wanted to speak to Wilbur.
In his house.
He's not welcome in my house.
I don't want guys like you that give stool pigeons a bad name.
Excuse me, doll.
That way.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, please.
Will you kindly leave my house?
I'd like to take my arm with me.
And I'll thank you never to bother my lawnmower again.
Don't worry.
The next time I catch you sniffing my roses,
I'll phone the police.
Did the dog run through here?
Post the minute you moved in next door,
I knew there'd be trouble.
Excuse me.
A man that would turn in a little dog.
Excuse me.
Who would sell out his own brother.
And at a profit.
I don't have a brother.
The best thing that could have happened to him.
What are you doing here, you little troublemaker?
Ed, is Pierre in there?
No, I haven't seen the little angel.
Addison called the police again.
They want to take Pierre back to the pound.
Well, maybe the little fellow would be happier there.
Ed, don't say that.
When a dog gets marked as a troublemaker,
nobody wants him.
He'd spend the rest of his life in the pound.
The rest of his life?
Yes, and he's just a little puppy.
Imagine Pierre being locked up for the rest of his life.
No family, nothing.
I never thought of that.
That's what'll happen to Pierre.
Locked up until he's too old.
And then...
Wilbur.
Yeah?
I've got a confession to make.
Confession? What?
I am Mr. Thompson.
What?
You made those phone calls?
Yeah.
Ed, why did you do it?
Since Pierre came here, you don't know I'm alive.
Oh, Ed.
You've got no reason to be jealous.
Well, there's nobody around here could ever take your place.
You mean that, Wilbur.
Of course I do.
Ed, we're buddies.
Let's shake on it.
All right, let's shake.
There.
Ahem.
Well, am I keeping you up?
Pierre.
Did you see the dog?
Officer, you can forget about it.
Mr. Thompson said he's calling off his complaint.
He did, huh?
Yes.
He said he'd call the police station and talk to the sergeant personally.
I wish that Thompson would make up his mind.
Quiet, boy.
What did you say?
Believe me, I didn't say anything.
I suppose it was the horse.
It was.
Okay, I'm so worried.
Where could Pierre be?
Maybe that officer found him and took him back to the pound.
Oh, no.
The poor little thing.
Roger.
Roger, I'm sorry.
I know you didn't call the police.
Mr. Thompson just told me that he did.
Are we still friends?
Now, really, Addison.
Pierre.
You've been protecting him.
I have not.
I don't know how he got here.
Do you see now why I married this cupcake?
Let's not get mushy.
He likes you, Mr. Thompson.
I mean Roger.
That's right.
So I'll get him.
Here he is now.
Wilbur, tell them all.
Thanks, Dick.
Hello.
Yes, this is Mr. Post.
Little dog?
He's right here, yeah.
Yes, he's a gray miniature poodle.
With the Dutch trim, that's right.
Oh.
Well, okay.
Thank you very much.
Goodbye.
That was the pound.
They've located Pierre's owner.
It's a little boy.
Gee, I'll miss this pup.
We all will.
Well, I better go and tell Carol.
Uh, Wilbur.
What?
Get that little boy's address, will you?
What for?
Well, I might just want to nip Pierre something one of these days.
Oh, and just like I said, you're all hot.
Uh.
I wonder if you can understand what I've been saying, Pierre.
I like you.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And no one can talk to a horse, of course.
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. A.
Go right to the source and ask the horse.
He'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. A.
He'll go yakety-yak the street and waste your time a day.
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And this one will talk till his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this.
I am Mr. Ed.
This has been a Filmways television presentation.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
You know, I receive so many letters from you girls, and the letters kind of go like this.
Dear Jack LaLanne, will you please show us something to firm up the hips?
All right, I want you to lie on your side, face me.
Then I want you to lift your leg as high as you can, just like this.
Now let's all do this.
Ready?
Begin.
One and two, that's it, and higher and down, up, down, and rest.
One, two.
That was fine, perfect.
Now, the next move we're going to do, we're going to have to be standing on our feet,
so everyone get up.
Come on, everyone, up on your feet.
That's it, up, up, up, up, up.
We always have somebody that's a kind of a slow one.
Get up, get up, up on your feet.
Great, that's it.
Now the next exercise is dedicated to all of you who want to have a lovelier neck.
That's for me.
Nice.
Let's all begin together.
Ready?
Go.
One, two, that's it, slowly, up and down and around.
That's it, and one and two.
That's it, and one and two.
That feels good.
Now the next exercise is something to firm up the waistline so you can look much nicer
in your clothes.
Here's how it goes.
We go first right, then to the left.
Now you go with me.
Ready?
Begin.
One, two, one, two.
Swing it.
Right.
One, two.
Get way out.
That's it, feel the waistline tightening up.
One, two.
Out, in.
One, two.
One, two.
One, two.
And you and this television set.
Oh, Wilbur.
You left it on again last night.
I fell asleep.
Get me a remote control and it won't happen.
Remote control.
Next thing you'll be asking for is a color television.
Oh, no.
I may be a horse, but I'm not a pig.
Dishes just no end.
In our house, my husband does them.
Kay, you're always joking.
I've been in your house when you did the dishes.
Yeah, but that's only on the nights when my husband does the cooking.
Hello, girls.
Oh, say hi, Wilbur.
I'm glad you came in.
Would you do me a great favor?
You can have anything I've got.
My horse, my house, my mortgage.
That's exactly what I want.
Our mortgage?
No, that's what I call being a good neighbor.
Oh, no, no, no.
I'd like to borrow Mr. Ed for this Saturday.
Oh, you want to take him for a ride?
Me?
I wouldn't ride a horse if he came with whitewall tires.
No, it's from my little niece, Peggy.
Oh, is she feeling any better?
Quite a bit.
You know, I got a letter from her this morning and she wants more than anything else to ride
Mr. Ed again.
Oh, sure.
When's she coming to town?
Well, she can't leave Mountain Springs for a while.
She's still recuperating.
So I guess we'll just have to take Mr. Ed up to see her, huh?
Oh, honey, can we?
It's all right with me.
I don't think Ed has anything planned for the weekend.
Oh, thanks, Wilbur.
Killings, shootings, violence.
Is this for our children?
You know something, man?
We're going to see little Peggy again.
Oh, swell.
When is she coming over?
Well, she's at Mountain Springs, still recuperating.
We're going up there.
Mountain Springs?
How high is that?
It's about 3,000 feet.
No, no, the deal's off.
Why?
I've got acrophobia.
Acrophobia?
That's a fear of high places.
I know what it is, but I didn't know horses could be afraid of heights.
Why not?
I'm a human.
Mountain Springs is only 3,000 feet.
Please.
I get dizzy when I look down my nose.
Ed, it's for little Peggy.
Don't you want to help her?
Sure, but let's face it, Wilbur, I'm yellow.
Ed.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
My horse is chicken.
That's right.
I'm going to go.
Ed, I promised Kay that we'd go to Mountain Springs this weekend to see her niece.
Oh, a fine thing.
All the favors that I've done for you, and this is the way you repay me.
All right.
You can just forget about that remote control, said buddy boy.
Wilbur, to whom are you talking?
Myself.
Didn't you ever talk to yourself?
Not since I've been married.
Are you all right?
You'd never better.
Look, about little Peggy.
I just talked with her on the phone.
Wilbur, you have no idea what a wonderful thing you are doing for that child.
Just the idea of seeing Mr. Ed again has filled that child's heart with happiness.
Yeah.
Well, Roger, I'm afraid you're going to have to get yourself another horse.
Ed can't make it this Saturday.
He can't make it?
Why?
Is anything wrong with him?
Well, I, uh, we...
Got a sore foot.
Peggy is going to be terribly disappointed.
I'd better tell Kay.
Oh, no.
I just haven't got the heart to call that child and tell her the bad news.
I don't understand it.
When I saw Mr. Ed this morning, he seemed perfectly all right.
Well, why don't we rent another horse?
Peggy would never know the difference.
Oh, of course she would.
It's very hard to fool a little girl.
Kay.
Kay, I'm sorry.
If it would help any, I'd throw a saddle on my back and let Peggy ride me.
It's not your fault, Wilbur.
After all, if the horse...
Well, your horse seems to have made a remarkable recovery.
Yeah, well, Ed suffers from a chronic broken leg.
I mean, it comes and goes.
Well, I might as well tell you the truth.
Ed's got acrophobia.
Acrophobia?
What?
Yeah, that's a fear of heights.
It runs in the family.
Wilbur, you've been talking very strangely today.
Do you feel all right?
I feel fine.
He just invented that story so he wouldn't have to lend us his horse.
Oh, but Wilbur, you promised.
Honey, I'm sorry.
Acrophobia.
You know, I'm beginning to develop a case of neighbor phobia.
Come here.
Indian giver.
You believe me, don't you?
Of course I believe you're an Indian giver.
Ed, I think I've got it.
The answer to your problem is hypnotism.
You see, Ed, you're suffering from a phobia.
Would you stop chewing those carrots while I'm talking to you?
You ain't hypnotizing me, Svengali.
I'm just going to put you into a little trance and then make a few post-hypnotic suggestions
to your subconscious.
I got a better suggestion.
Give me back my carrot.
Yeah.
Now, just do as I say now.
Watch the watch.
Now, you're getting sleepy.
Sleepy, sleepy.
Your eyes are getting heavy.
You... are... asleep.
Rock-a-bye, baby.
Now, cut that out.
Rock-a-bye, baby.
Now, cut that out.
Don't you want to lick this height phobia
and help that little girl?
Okay, I won't horse around.
Now, don't talk at all.
You just make your mind a complete blank.
This is ridiculous.
Relax.
You are getting sleepy.
Sleepy.
Sleepy.
Oh.
Keep your eye on the nice new watch now.
Oh.
What are you doing?
Hmm? Oh.
Oh, I was just winding my watch.
I'm glad you wind it with that little knob on top.
Oh, well, I got tired of winding it that way.
I thought I'd just break the monotony of winding my watch.
Wilbert, do you feel all right?
Of course I feel all right.
Why do you always ask that?
Lunch will be ready in a few minutes.
Thank you, honey.
Well, he certainly has been acting rather odd.
Now, Carol, I don't want to worry you,
but I caught Wilbert talking to himself earlier today.
Yeah, and that business about his horse having acrophobia.
And now waving his watch to wind it.
Roger, maybe there's something on his mind that he can't tell me.
Will you please have a talk with him?
Well, of course. Now, don't you worry.
Everything is going to be all right.
Just leave it to me.
Thank you, Roger.
Don't bother.
What do you think, doll?
I think some psychiatrist can start warming up his couch.
Maybe he does need psychiatry.
Why don't you suggest it to him?
I will, but I'll have to be very subtle.
You know, those who need help most usually resist.
Their id is in a continual state of turmoil.
But I'll try.
Goodbye, Sigmund.
Well, winding your watch, I see.
Uh, yeah, yes.
Well, that reminds me. I forgot to wind mine.
Wilbur, I need your advice.
Oh, yeah?
What can I do for you?
Well, it concerns a friend of mine.
He's been under a good deal of tension lately, and he's acting rather strangely.
I was wondering what I could do to help him.
How about a doctor?
Psychiatrist. An excellent suggestion.
You know, there's a time in every man's life when he needs outside help to get rid of his neuroses and phobias.
Phobia?
I know just the doctor for my friend.
Yeah, well, look, I, uh, I have a friend who has that kind of problem.
Would you give me your doctor's name and address?
Oh, sure, of course. Yes.
Here. Write it down.
Right. Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah.
Why are you writing with a carrot?
Don't you always write with a carrot?
No, no, I, I use a pencil.
You better get a hold of yourself, Roger.
Psychiatry. I'm sure my friend will appreciate this.
Uh, yes, uh, yeah.
Thanks, Roger.
I'm worried about him, Ed.
He was trying to write with a carrot.
Oh, well.
Dr. Bruce Gordon.
Wilbur.
Yeah?
No head shrinkers for me.
Sure.
Hello, Dr. Bruce Gordon?
This is Wilbur Post.
Roger Addison recommended you to me.
Roger, it's him.
Yes, Mr. Post, what can I do for you?
I'd like an appointment.
All right, Mr. Post, when would be convenient?
Well, could you come to my barn?
Your barn?
Yeah.
I'd come to your office, but my horse won't ride in the elevator.
He's in big trouble.
Your horse?
Yes, he's the patient.
He's afraid of heights.
This is a classic case.
He says he has a horse that has a fear of heights.
So that's it.
Wilbur has acrophobia and he's afraid to let anyone know.
That's why he canceled his trip to the mountains.
That's the least of his worries.
I don't usually make barn calls, Mr. Post,
but since you're a friend of Roger's, I'll accommodate you.
Thank you, doctor.
Can you be here at 2 o'clock sharp?
Yes.
You see, my wife goes to the beauty parlor, so my horse and I will be expecting you.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Bruce, you're doing me a great favor.
You're doing me a greater favor.
I think this ought to get me the lead article in the psychiatric journal.
A horse.
Interesting.
Well, Ed, Dr. Gordon will be here at 2 o'clock.
You're wasting your time.
I don't talk to anybody except you.
Ed, please, don't worry.
I've thought of that.
I'm going to make the doctor believe that I am the patient.
We don't look alike.
Here's my plan.
The doctor will go into my office.
I'll go into the stall with you.
Behind closed doors, he'll think he's talking to me.
Ha! Ha! He will be, because I ain't going to be there.
Ed, please.
Please, Ed.
Little Peggy, this dear little girl is recuperating,
and she wants to see you.
Now, Ed, you want to help her, don't you?
Okay, okay.
Stop with the hearts and flowers.
Why don't we go into your office, Mr. Post?
I don't want my horse to hear this.
Oh.
What if he did?
Then he wouldn't talk.
I see.
Your horse talks.
Well, that's what I want to tell you.
You're going to be the only other person who knows that he does.
Good, good.
I'm honored.
But let's get started.
I have a long paper to write when this is over.
Yes, Mr. Doctor.
Now, Doctor, you go into my office,
and I'll go into the stall,
and the next voice you hear will be mine.
We're all set, Ed.
Okay, Doctor, I'm ready when you are.
Now, Mr. Post, I want you just to relax
and tell me all about yourself.
Now, what is your earliest recollection?
At birth, I weighed 68 pounds.
68 pounds?
Yep.
I was an incubator baby.
About your acrophobia, Mr. Post,
when did the first syndrome manifest itself?
Make him talk English.
He wants to know when your phobia started.
Oh, why didn't he say so?
It's a family curse.
It started when my great-grandfather fell off a cliff.
How did that happen?
He was chasing a filly.
She made a sudden stop.
Vuh-vuh-vuh-vuh!
Goodbye, Grandpa.
Yes, yes, go on.
After your grandfather fell off the cliff, what happened?
Well, it kind of knocked the wind out of that romance.
How old was your grandfather at the time?
Nine years old.
Mr. Post, I think we've had enough for one day.
Will you come out now, please?
Doctor, before you go, may I ask you one question?
Well, certainly.
Brrr!
Doctor, how do you overcome this fear of heights?
Well, we overcome a phobia by doing the thing we fear.
Oh, you mean by forcing yourself to climb to a high place, you might conquer this fear.
Precisely.
Louder.
Precisely.
Thank you, Doctor.
I'll walk you to your car.
What do you think, Doctor?
It's amazing.
This will make medical history.
You don't know what a relief it is to know that somebody else besides me knows that my horse talks.
Fantastic case of schizophrenia.
Mr. Post, you are part architect, part horse.
No, I've been...
No, no, that's my horse that was talking.
Doctor, you've got to believe me.
Just relax.
The first step toward recovery is knowing your illness.
I'm not sick.
Of course not.
Of course not.
Now, about your next appointment.
I don't need any appointment.
It's him.
Shall we say tomorrow in your stall or in my office?
It's not my stall.
I'm not a horse.
Good.
You see?
You're improving already.
Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
Uh, don't call us.
We'll call you.
You heard what the doctor said.
The only way to lick your fear of heights is by going up to a high place.
You'll have to carry me.
I'll think of something.
Honey?
How about a kiss?
How high are we?
Oh, just a few feet.
How much is a few?
Well, why don't you take a look for yourself?
No, no.
Ed, you are a coward.
We've already established that.
Come on, Ed.
Look.
Can't.
I'm in a trance.
Ed, come on.
Take a look.
Fred, somebody's watching us.
I'll be right back, Bernice.
Come on.
One little peek.
Hey, fella, what are you, a peeping tom?
I beg your pardon?
How long are you going to be here?
Oh, just a few minutes.
Well, hurry it up, will you?
Why didn't you bell him, Watt?
You're being obvious.
You're just trying to cause trouble so he'll chase us away from here,
and you won't have to look down.
Come on, Bernice.
No, not here.
That's telling him, Bernice.
Ed, be quiet.
You're getting me in trouble.
Well, are you taking me down?
Not until you look over the edge.
Come on, Bernice.
Don't kiss that slobber.
You're really a joker, aren't you?
No, no, that wasn't me.
Now, listen.
I'm going to tell you just once.
Beat it.
Make me fat so.
Okay, buddy.
You asked for it.
Shall I call the boys, Wilbur?
Uh, yeah.
The fellow's looking for trouble.
Got to round up the whole gang.
They're just around the bend.
Boy, look, take it easy, will you?
Just forget it.
Forget it.
Okay, Ed.
You win.
Let's go home.
Hey, Wilbur, look.
The San Fernando Valley.
Ed, you're looking down there.
You beat the phobia.
Yeah, what do you know?
Ed, you're going to make a certain little girl
very happy tomorrow.
Wilbur.
What?
Has a horse ever climbed a Matterhorn?
Not today.
Wilbur, wasn't it worth the trip
just seeing Peggy's face light up
when she saw Mr. Ed?
Yeah.
Maybe we'll go up there again next week, huh?
Honey, I'm so glad you're your old self again.
Well, licking my fear of heights
had a lot to do with it.
I'm so proud of you, darling.
Don't be too long now.
Be right with you.
Ed, this has been such an exciting day,
I doubt if I'll be able to sleep tonight.
Buddy boy, look in my eyes.
You're getting sleepy.
Sleepy.
Sleepy.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And no one can talk to a horse, of course
That is, of course, unless the horse
Is the famous Mr. Ed
Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady course
Talk to Mr. Ed
He'll yackety-yack a streak
And waste your time a day
But Mr. Ed will never speak
Unless he has something to say
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And this one will talk to his voice
This horse, you never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this.
I am Mr. Ed

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
Carol, where are you?
In the kitchen.
You shouldn't be working with that sprained wrist.
I want to get dinner ready for Wilbur.
Well let me help.
Oh, thanks, Kay.
Hand me the chicken, will you?
It's in the refrigerator.
One chicken coming up.
Oh, no, I...
Oh, poor doll, he doesn't have a thing to wear.
Just put it in the pot and light the stove.
Oh, no, the little fellow's gone through so much already.
Sweetie, why don't you let me prepare dinner for all of us tonight?
You know, salad, steak, mushrooms, apple pie.
Thanks, Kay.
But I know you hate to cook.
You're so right.
We'll eat out, I'll call Addison.
Okay, really.
Wilbur's on the phone.
Thank you.
I'll have your address, yes.
And Velma, it'll just be for the one week, eh?
There won't be much housekeeping to speak of.
Most of your work is gonna be done in the kitchen.
Cooking.
All right, I'll pick you right up.
Thank you, goodbye.
Well, Ed?
Gisoon, hi.
Carol's gonna be surprised when she finds out I've hired a cook to help her.
That's the trouble with us Americans, we spoil our women.
Oh, come on, Carol's a great cook, you know that.
It's just that she sprained her wrist.
Sure, how did she sprain it?
The can opener slipped.
Gisoon, hi, again.
Velma Pinkney, she sounds very efficient.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
You know, I think I'm allergic to your hay.
What are you complaining about?
I have to eat this stuff.
Wilbur, did you call that cook I recommended?
Just going now to pick her up.
Good.
I hope you didn't tell Kay about my surprise, because she is sure to tell Carol.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I learned my lesson 20 years ago when I told Kay a secret.
What secret?
That I was single.
I should have known.
Look, we want you and Kay to be our guests tonight for dinner.
I mean, the way you talk about this Velma, she must be a wonderful cook.
Oh, she is, great.
But that's the story of my life.
The only time I ever get a good home-cooked meal is when I go to somebody else's...
Go to somebody else's house.
Married men.
Boy, am I glad I'm a bachelor.
This is it, Velma.
I'll tell Mrs. Post you're here.
You'll be surprised.
Honey?
Carol?
Hi, dear.
Surprise for you, honey.
Say hello to Velma, our new cook.
She's going to be with us for a week.
Oh, thank you, darling.
Hello, Velma.
Hello, Mrs. Post.
You happy?
Oh, darling, you're the most wonderful husband in the world.
One thing about my wife, Velma, she always tells the truth.
Oh, hang on to it, Mrs. Post.
A good man is hard to find.
Any man is hard to find.
At my age, even a bad man is hard to find.
Well, there'll be four for dinner tonight, Velma.
I invited Roger and Kay over.
Well, I know you'll be happy here.
Be in my office, dear.
Okay, dear.
I'll show you to your room.
Oh, what a nice man.
Mrs. Post, have you got a butler working for you?
No.
A chauffeur?
No.
Well, on my day off, it looks like solitaire again.
Oh, by the way, do you have your milk delivered?
Yes.
Is the milk man married?
He has kids.
You don't have to rub it in.
Color feast.
Velma, this dinner is delicious.
Oh, thank you.
Marvelous.
Oh, it's perfect.
I'd never do anything like it.
This wasn't a dinner.
This was a banquet.
Oh, this meal is so beautiful.
I could wear it.
That soup is a collector's item.
Oh, honey, thanks again for Velma.
She's the nicest present you've ever given me.
She were a little smaller, I would have had her gift wrapped.
Wilbur, can I open a charge account here?
Oh, no, darling.
We mustn't take advantage.
We should meet here over four or five times a week.
Thank Alaska.
Oh, beautiful, beautiful.
Velma, your hand should be immortalized at Grauman's Chinese.
Oh, Mr. Fose, thank you.
The good ones are always married.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Oh, Velma's such a jewel.
I wonder why the Johnsons let her go.
She quit.
I understand she was engaged to the butler Henry and they broke up.
Oh, that's too bad.
She's such a nice woman.
I hope she finds somebody.
If you wouldn't mind, my dear, I'd marry her myself.
She'd cook for us.
I'd let you.
Sure going to hate to lose her at the end of the week.
Well, if it'll make you feel any better, honey, I'll sprain the other wrist.
Please?
Oh, boy, pizza.
It's for your horse, Mr. Post, a carrot pizza.
For your horse?
Yeah, he loves Italian food.
He's got sugar cubes, I have to feed him breadsticks.
Oh, you like Velma's pizza, huh?
When I worked at the Johnsons, so did my boyfriend Henry.
He ate like a horse, too.
He should only choke.
Do you know I fed that man like a king for four years?
And what happened?
I got the brush.
Man, who needs him?
I do.
Henry's loss is my gain.
Man, this pizza is molto bene.
Santa Lucia.
Santa Lucia.
This is your last homemade pizza, Ed.
Carol's wrist is better and Velma's leaving tonight.
Not so loud.
I don't want my stomach to know it's back to hay again.
You know, she sure fattened you up.
Wow.
Another week, you'll have to get a girdle for you.
Don't let her go, Wilbur.
My friends say I never look better.
I'm going to try to talk her into staying last night, but she wants a job where she
can meet men.
All right, throw a USO dance for her.
I might just do that.
Last piece.
There's only one thing that would make her change her mind, if she met a man.
And that's one thing you can't buy at the supermarket.
How about the postman, Mr. Hodges?
Married.
The plumber?
Married.
Do you think she'd wait for the newsboy to grow up?
I'm ready to leave, Mr. Post.
Will you drive me to the bus station?
Sure.
Now, Velma, if you weren't leaving, what would you be cooking for dinner tomorrow?
I was going to start with little individual cheese souffles.
Cheese souffles.
Cheese souffles.
Artichoke hearts with sour cream dressing.
Sour cream dressing.
Sour cream dressing.
Then?
My main course would be a tornado of beef with Bearnaise sauce.
Bearnaise sauce.
Bearnaise sauce.
And for dessert?
Cherries Jubilee.
Cherries Jubilee.
What are we having for dinner tomorrow?
I'm not sure.
The label washed off the can.
Goodbye, Mrs. Post.
It was so nice working for you.
Well, if you ever change your mind...
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yes, she's here.
Velma, it's for you.
A man.
A man?
Hello?
Yes, this is Velma.
Who's this?
Walter.
Walter who?
Just call me Walter.
Until we know each other better.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
Walter.
That's even better.
Who are you?
Just a secret admirer.
What do you want?
I've watched you from a distance and I adore you.
I don't speak to strange men.
Are you married?
I've never trotted down that middle aisle.
He sounds like a Harvard man.
What do you have in mind?
I'll call you tomorrow.
Will you be there?
Of course I'll be here tomorrow. I'll be here all week.
I work for the Post.
Yes?
Cherries.
Chupuli.
Cheese souffle.
Hello, Ed.
Hello, Wilbur.
Isn't it wonderful about Velma finding a boyfriend and staying?
Yeah.
Just a minute.
Uh, here's the menu I wrote out for my dinner tonight.
Dinner?
Oat cocktail.
Home fried carrots.
Baked apple with alfalfa sauce.
No.
And lobster thermidor.
Lobster thermidor?
That's in case you want to eat with me.
Oh, you're very thoughtful.
Just give Velma the menu and leave her a good tip.
Well, later, Ed. I got work to do.
All right.
Lobster thermid...
Lobster thermidor.
Wilbur!
Velma is leaving!
What, again?
But what happened? She said she'd stay.
Remember that phone call she got from that fellow Walter last night?
Well, he didn't call back, so she's packing.
Maybe I better have a talk with her.
I don't think it'll do any good. She's made up her mind.
Well, I guess Walter has to turn on the old charm again.
Velma?
Yes, Mr. Post?
Velma, can't we sit down and talk this over?
Mr. Post, the only reason I stayed, I was expecting a call from that fellow, Walter.
But there are other men.
Yeah, and I'm going looking for them.
Maybe I could break our TV set and ask for a bachelor repairman.
With my luck, he'd be 90 years old.
No, I'm ready to go now, Mr. Post.
Oh, goodbye, Mrs. Post. I enjoyed working for you.
Well, good luck, Velma.
Oh, wait just a minute, please.
Hello?
Yes, she's here.
Velma, it's for you.
A man.
Hello?
It's me, my love, Will.
What happened? I was waiting for your call.
I, uh, I just lost my nerve.
Oh, you're shy.
Oh, we're perfect for each other.
I'm shy, too.
Cherished jubilee?
Well, goodbye, my love. I'll call you tomorrow.
Tomorrow? If you don't meet me tonight, I won't be here.
Uh, then it's tonight. I'll meet you outside the patio after dinner.
Good.
Oh, I, I hope you're as handsome as you sound.
I am, but it all depends on your point of view.
Au revoir, chérie.
Almost eight o'clock.
I hope that Walter shows up.
The girls have been up there working on Velma for an hour now.
I certainly hope they've prettied her up a little.
Velma deserves happiness. You know, she has so much to offer a man.
Friendship, warmth, loyalty.
Stroganoff, lasagna, shish kebab.
If she leaves, I'll kill myself.
Well, she'll be right down.
How does she look?
Anxious.
I can't even get a hold of you if we're going to make that movie.
Yeah. Roger, would you mind looking in on Ed?
Make sure that barn window's closed.
Oh, sure, sure.
Here she comes.
Velma, you look beautiful.
Oh, Mr. Potter.
Beautiful? She's positively enchanting.
Won't you be late for the movie?
Oh, yes, yes. Come on, honey, let's go.
Have a nice time, Velma.
Have a good time.
Good night, Val.
Thank you. Good night.
Velma, have fun.
Have a good evening, Velma.
Is that you, Walter?
It's me. You look beautiful, Velma.
Why don't you come over here where I can see you?
I told you, I'm shy.
Don't be like that.
We're all alone.
Don't come any closer, Velma.
Oh, why, Walter?
You don't have to be that shy.
Hello, Velma.
You...
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
For doing this?
Does your wife know?
Of course, I just told her.
Well, I'm not that broad-minded.
What's the matter with that woman?
What's she talking about, broad...
What's the matter with me talking to a horse?
He had to show up.
Now I'm back to hay again.
Velma!
Is Romeo here?
Who?
Your husband, our boyfriend.
What are you talking about?
When he complimented me and kissed my hand,
I thought he was only after my cooking.
Addison?
I'll be your witness in court.
Oh, now, just a minute.
There must be a mistake.
Ask your husband what happened in the backyard.
What did happen?
Let Walter tell you.
Walter?
That's your husband.
Now, Velma, I'm sure you must be mistaken.
I don't want to hurt your feelings,
but I just can't imagine my husband leaving me for...
For me?
Mrs. Addison, I may not be as pretty as you,
but when it comes to cooking,
you can't hold a pot to me.
Oh, now, darling, really?
Just because I'm not a good cook
and my husband happens to enjoy your cheese soufflés,
your baked Alaska and your wonderful gravies,
and what did happen in the backyard?
Let him tell you.
Dear, it's getting late.
Should we turn in?
Hey!
Are you crazy?
Here, have some juice, dear.
Thank you.
I can't understand why Velma hasn't been down to fix breakfast.
She must have overslept.
Her boyfriend probably kept her out late.
Oh, not again.
Mr. Post, I'm leaving.
But, Velma, you promised to stay.
Velma.
What happened?
Didn't Walter show up last night?
Yes, Mr. Addison did.
Addison?
You might as well know your neighbor is a chaser.
Oh, Velma, really?
Underneath that mustache, you'll find a blue beard.
Velma, I think you're imagining all this.
Why, Mr. Addison is very devoted to his wife.
Why, he wouldn't think of looking at another woman.
Mrs. Addison believed me last night.
Kay would never believe a story like that.
I wouldn't say that.
Velma?
Please, haven't you done enough?
Roger, what's going on here?
She told Kay the most fantastic story.
How, how, how, how I...
Why don't you take your crummy pizzas and go?
Oh, now, Roger, just a minute.
Her pizzas are not crummy.
I'm going home to mother.
Oh, now, Kay, dear.
I hope that you and Velma and her soufflés, the three of you, will be very happy.
Kay, please.
Now, just a minute, Kay.
I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for this.
Tell her, Roger.
Of course, I'm Walter.
I've been Walter for 20 years.
I am also Bluebeard.
I'm, I'm, I'm Jack the Ripper.
I'm, I'm...
Hello?
Yes, she's here.
Velma, it's for you.
A man.
Hello?
It's me, Walter.
Walter?
What happened last night?
See?
It couldn't have been Roger.
I never doubted you for a minute, doll.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
I don't know who she was talking to last night.
There was just me and the horse.
What did you say, Walter?
I'm sorry I had to leave so suddenly last night, Velma.
Yes, well, I'll try to understand.
I don't think I'm...
No, for you.
Oh, Walter.
Well, I'm kind of a drifter.
You need a man with a steady job.
A fine girl like you needs a real man.
Oh, Walter.
My trouble is, I'm not a real man.
I'm a real man.
I'm a real man.
I'm a real man.
I'm a real man.
I'm a real man.
I'm a real man.
My trouble is...
Yes?
Uh-oh.
Hello?
What?
Hello?
Oh, he hung up.
Oh, now I'm all mixed up.
Velma, now sit down.
Don't you worry.
Now just calm down.
Excuse me a minute, dear.
How do you do?
I'm Henry Gibson.
I work for the Johnsons.
Is Miss Velma in?
Yes.
Velma, come in, please.
Well, this is the worst trick you have ever pulled.
But Wilbur, I...
Do you know you broke that woman's heart?
But Wilbur...
And look what you did to the Addisons.
But Wilbur...
All because of your big appetite.
But Wilbur...
All right, go ahead.
It's your turn.
If only Perry Mason were here to defend me.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Wilbur!
Wilbur!
Guess what?
Velma is engaged.
To Roger?
Stop.
Henry, the Johnsons butler that she was going with,
just showed up and proposed.
Well, that's wonderful.
Come on, she wants you to meet him.
Yeah, well, I'll be there in a minute, honey.
This is lucky for you.
But Wilbur...
I was going to send you to bed tonight without any supper.
But Wilbur, who do you think called the Johnsons
and got Henry Gibson over here to propose?
You.
How did you do it?
I told him somebody was running off with his girl
and if he liked her cooking, he'd better hurry right over.
But Ed, why didn't you tell me?
Because you bawled me out.
But Ed...
Besides, who can get a word in with you around?
But Ed...
You're always jumping to conclusions.
But Ed...
But Ed, but Ed, is that all you can say?
But Ed...
Ed...
May I propose a toast to Kay's first home-cooked meal?
Thank you very much.
Congratulations, Kay.
I hope it's all right.
Well, so much for experimentation.
Well, it's not really bad.
Once you get it down.
My dear, no offense, but would you mind if we celebrated
your first home-cooked dinner at Pierre's restaurant?
Why, doll, I've already made the reservations.
They're off to a fancy restaurant and I'm back to barn-cooked meals.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Ed.
He will yakety-yak the streak and waste your time a day.
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and this one will talk to his voice's horse.

Honey, I got wonderful news!
Carol!
Honey!
Wilbur, I'm down here!
Honey, I got wonderful news for you, but you gotta promise me you won't get excited.
All right, what is it?
Yep, well first promise me.
All right, I promise.
What's the news?
Well, you better sit down so you don't get excited.
What is it?
Well, sit down.
I'm sitting down.
Yeah, I think you're getting excited.
Look, last month I was at the Architects' Convention and I met the editor of Home Beautiful
Magazine.
Yes?
And he's sending a photographer over here to take pictures of our house.
Oh, how nice.
And she'll be here tomorrow.
Oh, well, let's see.
Tomorrow?
I didn't even get excited.
Just look at the house, just look at it.
Oh, how could you do this to me?
Why didn't you tell me yesterday?
I just found out today.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I just found out today.
That's a pretty poor excuse.
Oh, I'll never have the time.
Who you calling?
The cleaning girl.
You had the house cleaned yesterday.
Look at it.
It's all dusty.
Honey, she's coming over here with a camera and not a microscope.
Oh.
Look, I thought this would make you happy, but how many of us are going to upset you
like this while we can call the whole thing off?
Oh, but, honey, look at these drapes.
You were supposed to fix the rod last week.
You better get up there and fix it now.
Oh, when you were supposed to mend the fence
and fix the faucet and mow the lawn and...
Toad that barge and lift that bale.
Let's see now.
Oh, Wil... Wilbur!
Oh, you're standing on my best chair.
Well, I'm using my best feet.
Please, relax. Come on over here.
Sit down.
This woman is gonna come here
and take pictures of the house, not condemn it.
But we've got so much to do.
I'll do it this afternoon.
Why can't you do it now?
Well, I was planning on buying Ed some new shoes.
Well, if your horse is more important than me,
Wilbur Post...
Put down that hammer, woman.
He owes me money.
I hope you're not interrupting anything homicidal.
Hey, guess what?
Home Beautiful is taking pictures of our house tomorrow.
How marvelous. I'll buy a new dress.
New dress? What for?
Well, I'm sure our dear neighbors
will want us in the pictures, won't you, darlings?
Of course. We'll go shopping right after lunch,
and thanks for inviting us.
You're welcome.
Honey, why don't you go shopping with Kay, huh?
And don't worry, I'll get everything done.
Honey, maybe we should invite the photographer
to lunch tomorrow.
Well, I'll fix up a barbecue.
I better get started on the fence.
Why don't you buy yourself something real expensive, huh?
Okay, Mr. Kramer,
I'll have the horse over in half an hour.
Ed, I'm sorry.
I haven't got time to buy you those new shoes.
But I just made an appointment for a fitting.
Maybe next week.
Next week?
My shoes are worn down to the edge.
Look at them.
Oh, they're not too bad.
I'm practically walking on my toes.
Ed, I got things to do.
What am I, a horse or a ballet dancer?
Look, you've been bothering me all week.
What is all this fuss about getting a new pair of shoes?
Well, you know that little chestnut filly
that we meet every Sunday when we go riding in the park.
The one that wears her tail in the upsweep?
Yeah.
Well, I kind of go for her.
Yeah.
You're blushing.
Wilbur, it's spring.
So that's why you want new shoes.
Well, I'm afraid it's going to have to wait, Ed.
You see, I'm going to be very busy today.
There's a woman coming over from Home Beautiful Magazine
to take pictures of the house and all of us.
Uh, me too.
You too.
With holes in my shoes.
Now I know why they call horses names.
Now I know why they call horses nags.
Tempo, tempo, tempo.
What can be keeping the girls?
Oh, relax, Roger.
They've only been gone a half an hour.
How much money could Kay spend in that time?
How much is the national debt?
Don't blame her.
She's just wanting to look her best
for those magazine shots tomorrow.
All this fuss over a silly little magazine.
Little?
Do you know millions of people
will be seeing your picture?
Million?
The magazine has a national circulation.
Millions, huh?
Well, haven't you seen it down at the golf course?
Yeah, now that you mention it.
Wilbur, uh, not that I'm interested, of course,
but what suit do you plan to wear for the pictures tomorrow?
I wouldn't want us to clash.
Well, it's just an informal barbecue.
Why don't you wear something simple, like a tuxedo?
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, but Wilbur, if millions of people are going to see us,
the least we can do is try to look our best.
Oh, I forgot.
You have an obligation to your public.
For your information, my wife has told me many times
that I bear a distinct resemblance to Cary Grant.
Did she say Cary or Ulysses?
Hardy, har, har.
Hardy, har, har, har, har.
Really?
Millions, huh?
Oh, my God.
Will you stop playing carpenter and think of me?
My feet are killing me.
Oh, these bunions.
Oh, what's the matter? Can't you hear me?
I must be imagining things.
Horses can't talk.
I'm not talking. I'm begging.
Please get me new shoes.
Funny.
I hear voices, but there's no one there.
Come on.
If you were in love with a little chestnut filly,
I'd buy you shoes.
Okay.
Oh, and you win.
I'll get him.
Look, I've got to get back before Carol.
So far, I haven't fixed the faucet,
mended the drapery rod, anything.
Oh, bless you, Wilbur.
And if it works out, we'll name our first colt after you.
Wilbur Colt. That's cute.
Yeah.
Tornado, how are you this morning?
You bad little boy.
You didn't finish your breakfast.
You need energy.
Now, if a big, fat gentleman rides you today,
you will fall down.
Excuse me.
Is Mr. Colt here?
Yes, he is.
He's a very good man.
He's a very good man.
Is Mr. Kramer around?
Yes, he was, but what's the matter with your horse?
He claims he needs new shoes.
What?
Oh, I mean, he's been limping.
Oh.
What's his name?
Ed.
Mr. Ed.
Mr. Ed.
Oh.
There's nothing wrong with this shoe.
What does he know?
What did you say?
Well, I didn't say anything.
And this one is all right.
These shoes are all fine.
They're good for another 500 miles.
You would just be wasting your money
if you buy new shoes for this horse.
Why don't you do what you're supposed to be doing?
I asked you to clean the windows.
Customer wants hot shoes, and you talk him out of it.
Excuse me, Mr. Kramer.
No, no, Mr. Kramer is right.
I am used to goof up.
You're a good man, Axel, but I'm going to have to let you go.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Gee, I feel responsible for...
No, no, please, mister.
Don't feel too bad.
Everybody fires me.
Mr. Kramer, if I were to buy new shoes for my horse, would...
No, no, he don't need them.
If Mr. Kramer sold you new shoes for this horse,
he would be stealing your money.
Excuse me, I pack my bag.
Well, I guess we don't need anything today.
Just barn shopping.
Goodbye, Brownie.
You be a good boy.
Yenir.
Goodbye, Yenir.
Goodbye, Lulubel.
Oh, Tornado.
Tornado, don't you skip breakfast.
You will get headaches.
Look, I'm sorry about what happened.
Everything is for the best.
Yeah, but what are you going to do now?
Oh, I'll find something.
I'm a yak of all trades.
A plumber, electrician, gardener, painter, carpenter.
I bet you couldn't name one job I ain't been fired from.
Say, my wife has been after me to do a lot of things around the house.
The job is yours if you want it.
Well, thank you, but you're making a mistake.
No, I'm not. I mean, I need a handyman, electrician and all that.
You can sleep in our office.
Thank you, but you have to promise me one thing.
What?
When you fire me, don't feel too bad about it.
A million things to do and Wilbur is out somewhere with that horse.
I knew it, I just knew it. I knew he'd never get to fix these drapes.
Well, how does it look?
It hangs like a potato sack.
Then why did you let me buy it?
Oh, I'm sorry, Kay. I was talking about the drapes.
That dress is beautiful.
Oh, I think it's a steal at $85.
It certainly is.
Hello, Carol.
Hi, Roger.
Another new dress?
How much did you pay for this one?
$22.50.
You got gypped again.
What?
It hangs like a potato sack.
I know, that's why I'm up here trying to fix it.
Will somebody please tell me what we're talking about?
The wet photographer is coming tomorrow and my husband is out buying his horse shoes.
Kay.
Hmm?
Do you think I should wear my red silk cummerbund tomorrow?
Good idea, but leave your sword at home.
So long, Carol. See you later.
Bye-bye.
I'm going home and sharpen my sword.
Wilbur!
Where have you been? I can't do everything around here.
Oh, honey, take it easy.
We can't discuss this over a hot hammer.
Wilbur.
Honey, your troubles are over.
I just hired a handyman to do all the work around the house.
Oh.
Axel!
Thank heavens. We can certainly use him.
Oh, he's terrific. He can do anything.
This is a beautiful house by Yimini.
Honey, this is Axel.
Axel, this is Mrs. Post.
It's a pleasure, Mrs. Post.
Oh, hello.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, well, it's three o'clock and I'm ready to go to work.
Right on the nose.
But I'm not charging you for any work I do today.
What an interesting watch.
Well, thank you. It's 14 carats gold.
It belonged to my grandfather in Sweden.
Yes, it is a good watch. It never lies to me.
Well, sometimes.
Well, honey, what do you want Axel to do first?
Well, you can start by fixing that rod over there. It's loose.
I'll get the list of other things that have to be done.
I'll be very happy to do that.
Your wife is a beautiful woman, Mr. Post.
Oh, thank you, Axel.
You know, this rod is old.
You really need a new one.
Yeah, they make them now all the time.
Yeah, they make them now all in one piece.
They're even bigger than...
Expensive, too, aren't they?
Yeah, Axel, you're getting better.
You've got that nail halfway in without hitting your finger.
Mr. Post, I'm all thumbs from head to foot.
Oh, no, you're not.
Well, thank you.
I'm always having trouble with hammers.
Look, do you think you could start a fire in the barbecue?
That I can do.
I'll have a beautiful fire burning in the yiffy.
Axel, thank you.
Hey, Wilbur, with hands like that, he should have been a brain surgeon.
Axel, what happened?
Well, the bag of charcoal was on the ground the wrong way,
and I picked it up like this.
This is brutal.
Axel, you better get a broom.
Yes, sir.
It's in the kitchen.
Thank you.
Psst, psst.
I still say fire the bum.
That wouldn't be right.
Poor fella needs help.
He thinks he's a failure.
He's got my vote.
You are just prejudiced against Axel.
Naturally.
I've got a date with that beautiful chestnut filly,
and here I am with holes in my shoes.
Shine them up. They'll be as good as new.
Ah.
I'll clean it up, Mr. Post.
Ah, fine.
Hey, uh, what happened to the broom?
Well, I was taking it out of the broom closet, and the handle got yanked.
But you don't need to worry. I fixed the door later.
I wasn't worried. I just...
What door?
Well, the one that came off the hinges.
Oh, great. I better fix it before Carol finds out.
Are you sure you can start the fire yourself?
Yes, sir. Dad, I can do.
I hope we've got my barn insured.
I'm going to get the door.
Wilbur, the house looks beautiful.
Just beautiful.
Hi, Kay.
Hi, Wilbur.
Hello.
Don't I look gorgeous?
You certainly do, Loretta.
You're a beautiful tomorrow playboy.
Middle page, of course.
Of course.
And, uh, Kay, you will let the woman take some pictures of my furniture?
Of course, darling. But don't be surprised if I'm sitting on it.
Where's Roger?
Bo Brummel?
What?
He's waxed his mustache so many times, he looks like a candle with two wicks.
That woman will be here any moment now.
I think that chair would look better nearer the window.
Wilbur!
Coming.
Axel, maybe you better let me start the fire, huh?
Please, you know, you'll get that nice suit all dirty.
Well, don't be afraid to use lots of charcoal.
Yeah.
And, uh, you know how to start it with a lighter fluid, huh?
Yes, sir.
Wilbur!
Yes?
Yeah?
Don't you think this chair would look better nearer the window?
Honey, the house is lovely. It's perfect.
Oh, thank you, dear.
Good afternoon.
If you're looking for the U.N. ambassador, you got the wrong house.
Well, the thing, too.
I had to tie him down to get his spats off.
I thought one of us should be properly dressed for the occasion.
I hate to sound catty-doll, but didn't you go a bit heavy on the eye shadow?
If you don't think I'm properly dressed for the picture, just say the word and I'll leave.
Leave?
He wouldn't leave if the house was on fire.
Spaulder! Spaulder!
Spaulder! Spaulder! I'll give you pain!
Axel, what happened?
You know how, dear.
The hose, Wilbur. Get the hose.
Get the hose. You get the fire.
Axel, what happened?
A pain, a pain. I've had a pain. Can I use this for a pain relief?
Oh, my pain! Oh, my God!
Oh, was that a car outside?
I-I go see.
Oh, what'll we do?
It-it is a car. It stopped.
Oh, my beautiful house!
It must be. It's the photographer.
Oh, no!
Mr. Post, I help you.
Please, please, Mr. Post, let me do that.
You get your nice suit all dirty.
What happened?
Well, I put your hydrofluid on, like you say, and then I lit a match, and the whole thing went so hot.
Axel, Axel!
I had to put on a towel.
Hey, turn that thing off!
Oh, Roger, what can I say? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I...
Please.
She's not here.
I'll get it, dear. I'm sorry about this.
I'll get it, dear. I'll get it.
Hello, I'm Miss Brooks, from home...
Beautiful?
Oh, my God!
Well, goodbye, Mr. Ed. I made enough trouble.
You're a nice horse.
I hope my snoring didn't bother you last night.
It must be nice to be a horse.
Nobody expects too much from you.
Sometimes I wish I was a horse.
Well, I go over to the Tally Ho Stables now and say goodbye to my older friends, and then...
Well, who knows?
Goodbye.
Uh-oh.
I go out the back, Ray.
Honey, this is gonna be tough.
Wilbur, you just have to let him go.
He's not here.
Wilbur, look.
My, it's Axel's watch.
Let's see the note.
Please, I would like the missus to have this watch.
Maybe it makes her feel better after all the mistakes I've made.
Thank you for giving me a chance. I never deserve it.
You are a nice people, Axel.
Oh, Wilbur, I can't take his watch.
I know.
He was the only valuable thing he ever owned.
Well, look, why don't you go back to the house? I'll see if I can find him and give it back.
Oh, please do. Honey, try to find him.
And you wanted to fire that sweet old man.
Oh, now wait a minute.
An honest man who always tried his best.
Ed, do you know where he went?
Well, if you rush, you might catch him at the Tally Ho Stables.
Thanks, Ed.
Wilbur?
Yeah?
Axel was right. I never really needed new shoes.
Tornado, your feed box is full.
You are a bad boy. You're not eating.
Hi, Axel.
Oh, Mr. Post. How did you know I was here?
Here. We can't take your grandfather's watch.
I don't need a watch. What difference does it make what time I get fired?
Axel, that's your trouble. You're not a failure. You must believe in yourself.
I do. I believe I'm a failure.
Now, don't say that. Everybody's good at something.
Axel!
Oh, I refuse leaving, Mr. Kramer. I'm...
No, no, I don't want you to leave. I'm glad that you're back.
Since he left, the horses have been acting up and I can't handle them.
I'll pay you a dollar and a quarter an hour just to stay and take care of the horses.
No, no. This man has a way with animals.
I'm going to pay him a dollar and seventy-five just to take care of my horse.
But I'm only worth a dollar and a quarter.
A dollar and seventy-five.
Two dollars.
A dollar and a quarter.
You win, Mr. Kramer. You got him for two dollars.
Well, goodbye, Axel. You drop by and say hello, huh?
Thank you. I will.
Oh, and by the way, he was right about my horse. He didn't need new shoes.
How do you know?
My horse admitted it.
Ed, somebody sent you a present.
Oh? Who?
Axel.
That's sweet, by Yemeni.
Oh, look. Four new shoes for you.
Well, what do you know? My favorite kind. Open toe.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course. And no one can talk to a horse, of course.
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. A.
Go right to the source and ask the horse. He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course. Talk to Mr. A.
Heep, poor yakety yak, a streak and waste, too.
He's a horse, a horse, a horse, a horse.
He's a horse, a horse, a horse, a horse.
He's a horse, a horse, a horse, a horse.
Heep, poor yakety yak, a streak and waste your time a day.
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course. And this one will talk to his voice, his horse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this.
I am Mr. Ed.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
Yeah!
Let's go!
Hey, come on, it ain't champions yet.
Yeah!
Come on!
Hi.
Do you want to play ball with me?
Oh, it's the new kid in the block.
You want to play ball?
No, we don't want to play ball.
It's a brand new one.
It is, huh?
Let me see.
Go chase it!
Yeah, hey, come on, Dave!
Yeah!
Stop here, Ed.
About time.
I thought we'd never get home.
We're only out here for a little exercise, Ed.
We?
I've been running, you've been sitting.
Good old Ed.
Huh.
Let me have it!
Hi, Mr. Post!
Hi, Andy!
Hi, Johnny!
Make your horse do some tricks again, Mr. Post.
Tricks?
All right.
You tell him to do something.
Shake your head.
Shake your head, Mr. Ed.
Swish your tail, Mr. Ed.
Swish your tail, Mr. Ed.
Let's go play.
Bye, Mr. Ed!
Bye, boys!
Bye-bye!
We're out here!
Come on, you're getting weak.
I better get you back to the barn.
Besides, I want to show Roger Anderson some new magic tricks I just got.
If you're a magician, lose some weight.
Hold it.
We both walk.
All right, you win.
How do you feel with that on, Ed?
Like Gypsy Rose Lee.
I got a kick out of those kids.
There is nothing like youth.
Yeah, sure wish I was a colt again.
Have a happy childhood, Ed?
Oh, I was a crazy mixed-up two-year-old.
My mom used to wait up all hours for me.
Yeah?
What did you do?
Hung around the stables, watching all the fillies go by.
You had a brawl, huh?
Yeah, I was a gay dog.
My diary would make a bestseller.
You made a hit for those kids today.
All but one.
Which one?
Some unhappy little guy standing behind a tree.
How'd you know he was unhappy?
That sad expression.
He looked like an owl in short pants.
How old did he look?
Oh, my age, about seven.
But a little different, of course.
Yeah, I figured.
I think you're imagining things, Ed.
I've got to get in the house and try out a few new magic tricks on my neighbors.
I wouldn't, Wilbur.
You're a terrible magician.
Oh, yeah?
Well, how would you like to see me saw a horse in half?
Huh?
Not this one.
Saw a horse in half.
Moving along to the more difficult of my illusions,
you will see, sir, that there is nothing in either hand.
Right?
Right.
And now pay close attention.
And with a few magic words,
told to me in secret by the thief of Baghdad,
I will produce a full bouquet of flowers from nowhere.
Aga...
Moony...
Mickey...
Rooney.
I'd say a phone call to Baghdad was in order.
I knew something wrong.
You forgot to blindfold me.
Wilbur.
Ha ha ha ha.
It's funny.
I planted geraniums.
For my next trick.
If I may have your attention, ladies and gentlemen.
Honey, I'm expecting Margaret Birch soon.
Can you children play outside?
Margaret Birch?
Yes, she just moved into the neighborhood, remember?
The one with the little boy.
Oh, yes.
Well, one more trick, honey.
Has Wilbur fooled you yet, though?
No one has ever fooled me.
No?
Then how did you get married, sweet?
Now, if I may have your attention, ladies and gentlemen.
I...
Always happens with new cards.
And new magicians.
Thanks, honey.
I don't want her to see the house like this.
Maestro, I have the feeling your show just closed.
Roger, grab it into this table.
I'll show you a few tricks outside.
Wilbur, let's face it.
As a magician, you're a great architect.
Any more words out of you, you'd be a rabbit in the morning.
Come on, sweetie.
Let's go.
Watch, don't look.
That's my best friend.
Excuse me, Kay.
Hi, Janet.
Hi.
Hello, Carol.
Come on in.
Am I early?
No, not at all.
Kay, I'd like you to meet our new neighbor, Margaret Birch.
This is my dear friend, Kay Addison.
Glad to meet you.
Glad to meet you.
Certainly was nice of you to ask me to join your club.
Not really, we need the do's.
Please sit down, Margaret.
Thank you.
You're going to like the girls.
We're really a very congenial group.
Right, Kay?
Well, it keeps us off the streets.
How do you like our neighborhood?
Oh, I love it, but...
But what?
Well, my son is having a little trouble making friends.
He's kind of shy.
Oh, how old is he?
Peter's eight and a half.
Oh, don't worry.
There are a lot of kids his age in the neighborhood.
Yes, I know, but they just don't seem to want to play with him.
Margaret, would it help if maybe you gave a party
and invited all the kids in the neighborhood?
That's a wonderful idea.
Yes, it is.
Do you think they'd come?
I know most of the mothers.
If you'd like, I'll help you round up the kids.
Oh, that's very sweet of you.
Maybe we could plan it for this Saturday.
Wonderful!
Maybe I can persuade Wilbert
to do some of his magic tricks for the kids.
Persuade?
He'll perform for anything that walks, talks,
or sits up and begs.
You shouldn't be touching that.
Oh, sorry, old man.
Well, I'm ready for your performance.
Well, I have a trick here that is bound to amaze you.
This is called the disappearing water trick.
See, I fill this cup with water from this pitcher.
Yeah, you'll notice that I'm filling it up.
There we are.
Now, I have here, as you can see,
an ordinary cup and an ordinary pitcher.
And now, presto!
That's the greatest trick I ever saw,
and I'm suing you for a new suit.
Hey, you! What's the big idea?
What's the big idea?
If I ever get...
If I ever get my hands on that kid,
he won't be able to sit down for a week.
Thank you for a delightful performance.
No, really, really, thank you very much,
but I couldn't impose.
Oh, you won't be imposing?
Why, we'd just love to have him stay here,
wouldn't we, Wilbert?
Of course we would. Have who where?
How do you remember, Margaret Birch?
Yeah.
Yes, of course.
I'm doing magic for your little boy's party.
We're going to have the party here.
Margaret has to go out of town for the weekend.
Her sister just had a baby,
and we're going to have little Peter stay here with us.
You don't mind, do you?
Oh, not at all.
I'll be able to try out some of my new tricks on him.
Just don't do your sprinkler trick, sweetie.
Addison isn't dry yet.
Look, that wasn't my fault, Kay.
Some fresh kid turned on the water.
Then it's all settled, huh, Margaret?
Well, what can I say?
You're all so wonderful.
I'll have Peter over here Friday morning.
Will that be all right?
Any time at all.
Well, I've heard so much about this young boy of yours.
I'm looking forward to meeting him.
Well, you don't have far to look, darling.
He's in the barn.
Oh, I'll go out and say hello.
Excuse me.
Sure.
Sorry to bother you, Mr. Henn.
But you didn't see me.
You're a nice horse.
At least you listen when I talk.
I don't care about that old party.
Those kids don't like me anyway.
And Mr. Post, when he finds out I turned on that old sprinkler,
he wouldn't do his own magic anyway.
But it was an accident.
I was looking for my baseball.
You believe me, don't you, Mr. Ed?
Peter, are you in there?
Peter, I see you hiding behind Ed.
Guess what, Peter.
You're going to have your party after all.
Right in our backyard.
You know something else?
While your mother's away, you're going to stay with us.
Oh, come here.
Let me go.
Oh, look, Pete, I'm your friend.
There's nothing to be frightened about.
Now, come on, son.
Let me...
The sprinkler kid.
Pete, you come back here.
Peter.
Wilbur.
I'll have lunch ready in a few minutes, dear.
He sure loves Ed.
You know, since his mother brought him here,
that kid hasn't said a word to me.
Every time I go near him, he looks at me like I was a truant officer.
I hope you two become friends before tomorrow.
We will.
Of course, I may have to grow two more legs and a tail.
He's just still upset about that sprinkler incident.
He's upset.
My suit is dragging, too, you know.
Honey, please try to talk to him.
Well, okay.
Of course, I may need to wear a raincoat.
Just call him in.
You call him.
If he hears my voice, he may go into orbit.
Peter.
Peter.
Lunch.
Now, try to gain his confidence.
And don't look so solemn.
You really scare him.
Smile.
Hello, Peter, how's it going, boy?
Lunch will be ready in a few minutes, honey.
Meanwhile, you two men get acquainted, huh?
Peter.
Pete.
Peter.
About this sprinkler business, I've forgotten all about it.
Believe me.
You know, I used to do foolish things like that when I was a little boy, too.
It was an accident.
Sure, sure, it was an accident.
It was.
I hit my baseball in your yard.
Then I went to look for it, and my foot turned on your sprinkler.
Sure, sure.
Now, can we be friends?
You don't believe me.
Look, Peter.
I can prove it.
I left my baseball in the bushes so you can see it.
Oh?
Well, let's go take a look, huh?
It's not there.
Peter, believe me.
I'm willing to forget the whole thing.
I said it there before.
I did.
Peter, I believe you.
No, you don't.
The kid told the truth.
Now, Ed, you're wrong.
You see, you don't understand child psychology.
See, kids sometimes lie without meaning it.
They do something, and then they get scared.
And then they exaggerate the facts a little.
Where did you get that baseball?
I signed up with the Dodgers.
Ed, did you find this under those bushes?
That's right.
I was afraid a dog might run off with it, and you never believe the kid.
Hello, Houdini.
No.
What are you going to do with that?
Turn it into a ping pong ball?
Roger, you know we're throwing a party for a little boy tomorrow.
Yeah, Kay told me the bad news.
Roger, I want this party to be a very big success.
Is there anything you can do to entertain kids?
I might wiggle my mustache.
No, I'm serious.
Don't knock it.
That's how I won my wife.
I know.
You can be my assistant during my magic act.
No, no.
Although I will grant you that I look rather fetching in my black mesh stockings and high heels.
No, you better get somebody else.
Wilbur, can you come in, please?
Peter.
Peter?
Look, I found your baseball.
Peter, I'm sorry.
This whole thing is a mistake.
You didn't believe me when I told you.
I'm sorry, Peter.
But you know, sometimes big people make mistakes, and, well, you've just got to forgive them.
Now, can we be friends?
Did you know I'm going to help Mr. Post with his magic act tomorrow?
That's right.
He insisted.
You are going to have the most wonderful party tomorrow.
But those kids don't like me.
Oh, yes, they do.
Now, are we friends?
Here, let me take your things.
And we'll go out and play catch, huh?
Great.
That's a boy.
I've got some hits upstairs.
You're going to show me the finer points of the game.
You wouldn't go out there and play...
Well, what do you think of your party, sweetie?
It's okay.
Peter, here are some more of your friends.
Hi, Andy.
Hi.
Hello, sissy.
Come on, Mike.
Peter, let's join the group, huh?
Come on, fellas, let's get the entertainment underway.
Here we are.
Hey, Dad, you're it.
Come on.
Now, if you'll just keep your little...
If you'll just keep quiet, I will introduce...
That world-famous magician and prestidigitator...
Who has just returned from a triumphal tour of the provinces...
The one, the only, Will Barini.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I thank you.
Isn't he funny?
Go ask your mother.
Now, if my assistant will please give me a piece of rope,
any piece of rope, I shall perform my next trick.
Why, of course, a piece of rope.
An ordinary piece of rope.
Here you are.
I thank you.
As you can all see, this is just a plain, ordinary piece of rope.
It is not.
It's a trick rope.
I saw it on television.
Yeah, he makes believe he cuts it, but he really doesn't.
It's got a magnet in the middle of it that holds it together.
For my next trick, I should like to perform one never before seen anywhere,
not even on television.
I bet.
This is called my disappearing trick.
For this trick, I shall need two volunteers from the audience.
They're not volunteers.
They're vigilantes.
I'll never get this one.
If my assistant will give each of these boys one of these rubber balls.
Yes, master.
Young man, there you are.
If you will please place one ball in each of my pockets.
That's it.
May I have...
Thank you very much.
I have here a box, just an empty box.
Is that empty?
Are you quite sure?
Stop that.
Here.
This might be a good place to ring down the curtain.
Come on, boys, refreshments.
Here we go.
Come on.
Lunch, refreshments.
Wilbur, where's Peter?
Peter?
I think I know where he's gone.
Would you mind holding these, dear?
Come on, Pete.
It's your party.
All the kids are waiting for you.
You know they're not.
You don't want to miss all that ice cream, do you?
Hey, Wilbur.
Yes?
I've got an idea that'll help Peter.
Yes?
Now, listen.
None of these boys seem to like this part of the interview.
Peter, there you are.
Here, I fixed a plate for you.
Come on, sit down.
The magician has made a horse appear.
Who wants a ride on Mr. Ed?
Johnny, you're the oldest.
You go first.
Gee.
Hey, what's the matter with him?
Nothing.
He always acts like that with a new rider.
Don't be afraid, Johnny.
Come on.
Nothing.
Andy, you go first.
No, thanks.
Frank, you go first.
What, you're all done crazy?
Isn't there anybody here brave enough to ride on Mr. Ed?
No, not me.
No, thanks.
Surely there's someone here who's willing to take a chance.
How about you, Pete?
Him?
He's a sissy.
I'll ride, Mr. Ed.
Atta boy.
Come on, Pete.
Gangway, boys.
Here we are.
Up you go.
Here.
Now, look, if he tries to roll over on you, you jump off fast and get right back on.
Got it?
Okay.
Let's go.
Stand back.
He ain't scared.
Boy, he's brave.
Don't call him a sissy.
Boy, oh boy, let's go.
This is a lot of fun.
It really is.
Come on.
Here, Pete.
Well, what do you know?
You made a little boy very happy, Ed.
Want to make me happy, Wilbur?
Yeah.
Lose a little weight.
I'll think about it.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And no one can talk to a horse, of course.
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.
Go right to the source and ask the horse.
He'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.
People yakety yak a streak and waste your time a day.
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And this one will talk to his voice, his horse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this.
I am Mr. Ed.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
Hello.
Oh, hi, Carol, this is Kay.
Did you get up enough nerve to ask Wilbur to buy you your own car yet?
No, I haven't.
Well, sweetie, if I were you, why are you breathing so heavily?
Me? I thought it was you.
Sweetie, ask Wilbur for the car.
If I were that afraid of my husband, my mink would still be running around in the forest.
Maybe you're right.
I'll ask him this morning. See you later.
Ed, have you been eavesdropping again?
Yes and no.
What do you mean, yes and no?
Yes if you saw me and no if you didn't.
Well, I saw you and you should be ashamed of yourself.
All right, then I won't tell you what I just heard on the phone.
Good. I don't want to hear it.
Okay, but when you're married, you need all the help you can get.
Ed, I told you, I do not want to hear it.
But Carol was talking to Kay and it's going to cost you a fortune.
But if you don't want to hear it, let's skip it.
Huh? Who?
Ed, what is going to cost me a fortune?
You said you didn't want to hear it, so my lips are sealed.
Ed, you talk or there won't be any television for you tonight.
The next voice you hear will be Ed the Blabbermouth.
All right, let's hear it.
Your wife wants her own car.
She does. She does. She does.
She does what?
Wants her own car.
Who does?
My wife.
She does?
Well, I hope you're getting ready to turn her down.
Well, first, I mean, I'll try to be fair.
I'll listen to what she has to say and then I'll turn her down.
Good boy. And hold fast.
Because if you get Carol that car, if I know Kay, she'll want something too.
Boy, will I turn her down.
Good. Now remember, you've got to promise me...
Wilbur, I'm sorry to hear about your losses.
If things don't get better and you feel that you have to borrow money from me, don't hesitate to ask.
Money? But I don't need...
Thank you, Roger.
I'll let you know.
I'm sorry, Carol.
Wilbur, why are you borrowing money?
Borrowing money?
Now, don't you try to hide any bad news from me.
I'm not.
It's nothing that I can't take care of myself.
Well, what can I do for you?
Well, I was thinking that...
Are you sure everything's all right?
Look, darling, no matter what happens, we...
We still have each other.
Of course, that's... that's all we may have.
Wilb... what can I do for you?
Well, I've given this a great deal of thought and I...
Nothing.
I... I was just wondering if you could spare the car. I have some shopping I have to do.
Oh, sure. You know, honey, if I'm not using the car, it's yours.
Oh, thank you, dear.
Of course, if you could find a street without any parking meters, I'd appreciate it.
Wilbur, if you think we should be cutting down on expenses...
Now, now, now. Things aren't that bad... yet.
What are we having for dinner tonight, dear?
Well, I... I was planning on prime rib, but I'm making hot dogs now.
Better make it one each.
All right, dear.
Wilbur, I think it worked.
Oh, I feel like a heel. I mean, I feel awful.
Did you see how sad she looked?
Let's face it, buddy boy, a woman is a sometime thing.
Yeah, sometimes they drive you nuts.
Hello. Oh, hello, Wilbur.
It worked, huh? Oh, great. Fooled Carol completely, huh?
Oh, I knew you could talk her out of that car.
There's nothing easier than pulling the wool over your wife's eyes.
And was I convincing. Carol's liable to go out now and look for a job.
How wonderful. Hey, Wilbur.
Wilbur, why are you breathing so heavily?
Have we been cut off?
Well, no, it's probably a loose connection.
You know, you can always count on that poverty routine. It always works.
I've been pulling it for years on Kay.
For a couple of months now, she's been trying to get me to buy her an expensive strand of pearls.
I keep getting her off the track by...
Bye-bye, Wilbur.
I'll bet you think I didn't know you were there all the time.
That's why I made up that ridiculous...
How dare you spy on me?
That was very sneaky, telling Wilbur not to buy Carol a car.
You advise her, why can't I advise him?
Two wrongs don't make a right. Carol needs a car of her own.
Like you need that string of pearls.
I'll have those pearls in the morning.
Only if you dive for them tonight.
With me advising Carol, they better get a two-car garage.
I wouldn't bet on that, my dear.
I'd bet my new string of pearls on it.
It's a deal. If Carol gets the car, you get the pearls.
Fine.
But if she doesn't get the car, then you hand over your charger plate to me for two months.
Two whole months?
How could I have been such a fool?
Wilbur acted as though we were going bankrupt.
He looked so sad, I could have cried.
Oh boy, oh boy, what a prized simpleton I am.
And I never even got to ask for the car.
Sweetie, take it easy, or you'll have a wall-to-wall omelet.
Oh, that Wilbur.
I didn't even know I was going to ask for the car.
I think Addison has our house bugged.
I'm not going to give up.
Add a girl.
Remember, you're fighting for two of us.
Your car and my pearls.
Oh, who does he think he is?
Why, I'm going to go right out there and tell him a thing or two.
Oh, he probably thinks I'm the stupidest thing that ever lived in this...
No, no, no, no, no.
That's no way.
Tell him nothing.
You've got to hit him in his weak spot.
Weak spot?
Oh yes, you know who your husband loves the most.
What a silly thing to say.
Of course I do.
Good, we agree.
It's the horse.
The horse?
Why, yes.
Now listen, I've been in the marital ring for a heck of a long time,
and I'll tell you, you've got to keep punching all the time.
Ed, what's the matter?
My ears are burning.
Someone's talking about me.
Maybe they're saying nice things for a change.
According to my horoscope, I shouldn't leave the barn today.
I'm surprised at you.
I didn't think you believed in that stuff.
Well, they warned Julius Caesar, and you know where he got it.
Ed.
Right in the lobanza.
I think I've nothing to worry about.
Oh, no.
If I were a cat, I'd be up a tree now.
Take it easy, Ed.
Wilbur, don't leave me today.
You're acting like a baby.
Well, I'm only seven and a half years old.
You've got nothing to worry about.
I'll save your place in the world than a barn.
Wilbur, come on.
We're late.
Wilbur.
I'm worried.
Now, Kay overheard our telephone conversation,
and still Carol hasn't asked you to buy her that car.
Well, what are you worried about?
She knows what my answer will be.
Good boy. Stick with it.
I've got a string of pearls riding on you.
Those pearls will never leave the oyster.
But Carol must know by now that you tricked her.
It's just not natural for a wife not to fight back.
I'm not worried.
Carol isn't the sneaky type.
That's what Samson said just before Delilah reached for the scissors.
You're selling yourself over nothing.
Believe me, we can outwit our wives.
No, we can't.
Say, but your horse hitched to a carriage.
Whoa, Mr. Ed!
What is all this, honey?
Isn't it a great idea?
I thought we'd use Mr. Ed for transportation.
Look, I've been pulling this for two days.
Put a stop to it.
Well, it's not so bad.
The only thing I want behind me is my tail.
Try to hold out a little bit longer.
I think Carol's starting to weaken.
Well, now, that's just fine.
I'm pulling a wagon and she's weakening.
Oh.
Huh?
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Wilbur, I'm proud of you.
Kay hasn't even mentioned those pearls in a couple of days.
That's great, but you know,
pulling this heavy wagon is kind of hard on my horse.
Well, that's what he's for.
He's only a dumb animal.
Oh, he nearly stepped on me.
Come on, girls.
It's a lovely day for a ride.
Oh, I hate to go into the side room.
Huh?
Well, have you ever done that before?
No, I haven't.
Oh, my, I just can't wait to go riding in that surrey.
I'm a weirdo.
Well, off you go, Globel.
All right, here we go.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Uh-oh.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Oh, oh.
Here we go.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, hello, Owens,
front yard of the next town just for us is my patron saint.
Well, I'm
The innocent always suffer.
Give her the car.
It'll only last for a few days.
You see, she'll give in.
I wasn't cut out for work.
I'm a playboy.
S-P-C-A.
May I speak to the Cruelty to Horses Division?
Hello, Mrs. Adams speaking.
Do you protect poor dumb horses?
We certainly do.
Do you know of one that's being mistreated?
They're making him pull an overloaded carriage
that the 20 mule team couldn't pull.
That is awful.
May I please have your name?
Oh, uh, just call me an animal lover.
Well, would you give me the name of the guilty party?
Well, I'm not a squealer.
But her name is Mrs. Post, 17230 Valley Road.
And please hurry.
This poor horse can't talk like you and me.
Don't you worry.
I'll attend to this personally this afternoon.
Thank you.
Honey?
Yeah?
Honey, would you please hitch up Mr. Ed?
I'm expecting the girls any minute now.
Where are you taking him today?
Oh, we haven't decided yet.
It's so much fun just driving him around town.
Will that Flo-Bell McGuire be going?
Of course.
Honey, she must weigh at least 200 pounds.
220.
Oh, and Flo-Bell has a twin sister
who's going to join us today.
A twin? Is she...
230.
Flo-Bell, we're all ready.
We'll be there in a few minutes.
Carol, listen to me.
Oh, excuse me, dear.
Carol, listen to me.
You are not going to take Ed out of the barn today.
He's been sneezing, and he looks tired.
But dear, I'm only doing it for you.
I'm Mrs. Adams of the SPCA.
Are you Mrs. Post?
Yes.
Vent, please.
Thank you.
We have a complaint
that you've been abusing your horse.
Complaint?
Oh, but that's ridiculous.
My wife adores our horse, don't you, dear?
Oh, yes, I adore him.
Yeah.
May I see the horse, please?
Now?
Yeah, well, he's now having his regular three-hour nap.
But we have some lovely photographs of him in our album.
They're in color.
It shows his nice, healthy cheeks, rosy and all.
I'll get him for you.
Why, there he is,
with his head sticking out of the barn door.
Believe me, Mrs. Adams,
my wife loves animals.
I know.
She's been married to me for three years.
May I please see the poor animal?
Oh, Wilbur.
Now, look what you got us into, huh?
Mrs. Adams, we would never mistreat our horse.
What's wrong with him?
Well, I told you he was taking his nap.
Let's tiptoe out of here.
Just a minute, please.
My wife just fed him a big lunch.
He never nibbles between meals.
And no horse ever refuses sugar cubes.
He, uh, he never eats sugar.
Uh, I mean, he likes apples.
Just Washington apples.
Well, he just won't eat a thing.
This horse is not well.
I don't understand it.
Honestly, Wilbur, we girls never took him to the park.
We only took him a few blocks from the house,
just to fool you.
Achoo!
Gesundheit.
I just don't understand what's wrong with him.
I'll be back with a warrant to take him away.
Mrs. Adams, I can explain everything.
Mr. Adams never works a day in his life.
The reason my wife had him pull a carriage...
What's going on here?
Oh, Wilbur, I'm sorry I started the whole thing.
You don't have to buy me a new car.
Oh.
Your charger plate, my dear.
You, you're on your feet.
Well, she said she was getting a warrant to take me away.
So you were faking.
Yeah, everything except there's cold.
Achoo!
I wet my feet down myself the other day to get it.
You mean you deliberately caught cold
so you could get Carol into trouble?
Well, when that woman comes back,
you better tell her the truth yourself.
I talk only to you.
Oh, no, you've outsmarted yourself this time, Ed.
You'd better tell the truth tomorrow to that woman
or tomorrow you're gonna be pulling a milk wagon.
And I thought I had set up a perfect crime.
Well, okay.
I'll talk.
You'd better.
I'm a pretty sick horse, and you're awfully mean to me.
Oh, my aching back.
Now, now, everything's gonna be all right, honey.
But you still haven't told me.
How are you going to convince Mrs. Adams
that I never mistreated Mr. Ed?
Uh, well, look, I was gonna keep it a secret,
but Ed's gonna clear you.
Oh, how?
Well, I can't tell you now because you won't believe me,
but he'll do it because you wouldn't want
to pull a milk wagon either.
I'm in trouble, and you're making up riddles.
Oh!
Oh, Ed, this is gonna be a great day for me.
Not only are you gonna clear Carol,
but people are gonna find out that I am not out of my mind
because you can really talk.
Ed, you're not angry with me, are you?
Well, why don't you say something?
Ed, you haven't changed your mind.
Well, why aren't you talking to me?
Laryngitis?
But that means...
Ed, you've got to talk.
Oh!
How?
Oh, but, Ed, now that lady will be here soon, and...
We've got to make you talk or Carol will be in trouble.
Real trouble.
Oh!
Don't be mad, Ed.
Okay?
Try it again. Say, ah.
Oh!
Open.
Now, again, ah.
Oh!
Now, let's get the tube,
and we'll try this horse-ass thing.
I'm just gonna put it in the tube, see?
Into the mouth, and I'm gonna blow on three.
Okay, ready? Open wide. That's it. Open up.
Ready? Now, one, two...
Oh!
Very funny.
Now, we'll just add a little epsom salt.
Oh!
Oh, now, it'll be all right.
Stand still. There. There we go.
All right, now.
Here, you'll feel fine.
That a boy. Good boy.
Just stand still.
Up, up, up.
There we go. One more, and there we are.
Ah.
How's that, Ed? You feel better?
Oh!
Let's just take your temperature again.
Oh!
Open up. Open up. Open wide.
Come on. Open up.
Hold it.
Hold it, Ed, now.
Just a few more seconds.
Temperature can't be that bad.
That's it.
Aren't you a little old to be playing doctor?
Ed has laryngitis.
Oh? I suppose he told you that.
No, he wrote a note.
Goodbye, Wilbur.
You helped me win a bet, but I think you suffered a nervous breakdown in doing it.
Ah, you're coming back to normal.
Aren't you glad I sprayed your throat?
Oh, my pill.
I don't understand it, Mrs. Post.
I've checked on you in the neighborhood, and you seem to enjoy a fine reputation.
Believe me, Mrs. Adams, I would never harm our horse.
But he looked so ill when I saw him yesterday.
Mrs. Adams, before you do a thing, we've got to have a little talk.
It's too late for that, Mr. Post.
It's very obvious the animal is unhappy here.
He seems like a different animal.
Believe me, he loves my wife.
He loves her more than I do.
I promise you, Mrs. Adams, I'll never hitch Mr. Ed to a wagon again.
She won't have to.
With her own new car.
Wilbur!
Well, I guess you are happy here.
It's a Washington apple.
Oh, it's beautiful. Just beautiful.
Oh, thanks again, honey.
Me, all you have to do is ask.
What a nice husband.
Walkin's for the birds.
I gotta buy myself a car someday.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.

Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.

Gee, it's hot in here.
I'm comfortable.
Not me.
Boy, it's hot.
Why don't you open a window?
Okay, but it's not gonna help.
It's just as hot outside as it is inside.
Now it's even hotter.
Ed, you are leading up to something.
Whatever it is, you're not getting it.
Hello?
Yes, this is Mr. Post.
Who?
Acme Plumbing.
Uh-oh.
I didn't order any shower for my barn.
Uh, no, thank you.
Goodbye.
Think the Dodgers have got a chance this year?
Ed, who gave you permission to order a shower for the barn?
I think the Dodgers have got a chance this year.
Ed?
The Dodgers think they got a chance.
Ed, do you know how much a shower costs?
Take it out of my hay.
I've never heard of a shower in a barn.
Why, a horse invented the idea.
It's called a stall shower.
Now, if it gets hot, I'll hose you down.
You never hose your wife down.
Even if I were silly enough to put a shower in here,
we couldn't afford it right now.
Leave that phone alone, Ed.
We don't need a shower.
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Reynolds.
I thought you were somebody else.
What do you think about my plans for your apartment building?
Well, I did a pretty good job, I think,
and it'll save you a lot of money.
You'll let me know.
Thank you, Mr. Reynolds.
Bye.
Bad news?
I'm trying to get Reynolds to let me build his apartment building for a month now.
I know he likes my plans, but I just can't persuade him to get started.
Know what your trouble is, my boy?
Your face.
Well, I can't go anywhere without it.
No, I mean, you've got a baby face,
and when people are investing a lot of money,
they feel safer with a man who is more mature.
Do you think a little mustache like yours might help me?
It wouldn't hurt, my boy.
Well, I'm in one of those meetings, and stroke my mustache thoughtfully.
Everybody stops and waits for me to say something profound.
Dignity, maturity.
Can I try on your jacket, Rog?
Sure.
With a mustache and my tailor, people will stand up when you come into a room.
Oh, I begin to feel more successful already.
My dignity's a little full in the back, but...
How do I look?
Splendid.
Great.
You must have spoken to the wrong party.
This is Mr. Post, and I did not cancel the order for the barn shower.
Sorry, wrong number.
Edward, I told you, you are not getting that shower.
Oh, my aching back.
You look like Addison, and you're twice as grouchy.
You know why I'm doing this.
I've got to look older.
Gee.
Look, if I make enough money, maybe I will get you that shower.
I don't think that silly mustache will do it.
Why are you complaining about a few extra hairs?
You've got a tail.
But I can use mine to swish flies off my back.
That's enough.
Trigger not only has a shower, he has a sunken bathtub.
You earn as much money as Trigger, and I'll buy you a swimming pool.
Hi, Kay, come on in.
Hi, sweetie.
Oh, you missed a big sale at Mayfair's.
What did you buy?
Who cares? They were bargains.
Kay, do you always buy things you don't need?
Sure, if I ever happen to need them, they may not be on sale.
If I weren't having so much trouble with Wilbur, I'd laugh.
Oh, how is Wilbur?
Just impossible.
Since he grew that mustache, he's been trying to be another Roger.
Well, sweetie, the world isn't ready for two.
I feel like I'm married to a stranger.
I've had that feeling for years.
You know something?
It's that mustache that's changed his whole personality.
Shh, hold it down.
He's fuzzy wuzzy.
Good morning, ladies.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I'm sorry I missed you at breakfast, my dear.
You just missed me again.
I failed to see the humor of that remark.
Now, if you ladies will excuse me, I have work to attend to in my office.
I feel very... profound today.
Wilbur Post, this is ridiculous.
Stop trying to act like Roger and shave off that silly cookie duster.
My dear.
You look like you're peeking at me over a hedge.
My dear, I'm not imitating anybody.
Excuse me, ladies.
It's frightening. He even walks like Addison.
Is he getting cheaper, too?
No, his mustache hasn't gone to his wallet yet.
Well, honey, maybe it will help him get more jobs as an architect.
I don't care about the money.
I married Wilbur, and I don't like that stranger who just walked out.
Look, honey, I've got an idea.
I think I know how to snap him out of this.
Fight fire with fire.
You mean I should burn it off him?
You changed his personality. Why don't you change yours?
I don't understand.
Well, if he can be Addison, then you can be me.
And I can be pretty awful. Huh? Huh?
Huh?
Kay, do you think I look all right?
Oh, you look perfect, just like a fashion ad.
Now, here, hold these boxes if you own all the contents.
Here they are. Now, be po... Don't bounce your head, Carol.
You look so much better when you're poised.
Show dignity. Dignity when you walk.
Quiet. That's the whole thing. Quiet. Now go.
Kay, I don't think I can go through with this.
Oh, sure you can.
Now, don't forget you're me.
Now, go back to the barn and be as miserable as I know how.
Hello, Post Doll.
Well, what are those packages?
Oh, there was a sale at the Mayfair, and I just bought, bought, bought.
Who cares, Angel? It was a bargain, and Kay always...
I mean, I always bought. I mean, she always...
My dear, don't you think you're being just a little obvious?
Wilbur, please shave that thing off and be yourself again.
My dear, I explained to you.
This will help me, business-wise.
Well, it's not helping kissing-wise.
Well, sweetie, how did you do?
I tried to be you, but I wasn't even a good me.
It's Addison's fault. He never should have encouraged Wilbur.
I bet if Roger shaved off his mustache, Wilbur would, too.
Excuse me, dear. Where are you going?
To sharpen a razor.
Shave off my what?
That furry little troublemaker under your nose.
No. I'd be positively naked without it.
Wear a fig leaf.
Addison, if you'll shave yours off, Wilbur will shave his off.
Nonsense. Just because Wilbur and Carol are having a little spat.
A little spat? She's almost ready to leave him.
Think about it.
She's almost ready to leave him.
Think of it this way, doll.
You won't be losing a mustache. You'll be saving a marriage.
But, my dear, be reasonable. I've had this for over 20 years.
We even went through college together.
But Wilbur's been imitating you in every way.
He's been talking like you, walking like you, dressing like you.
Personally, I think it's an improvement.
Sweetheart, they're a young married couple.
And now they've stopped kissing.
They don't shake hands.
Please take it off for your little baby doll.
Baby doll?
Yes.
It stays.
Marriage destroyer, you!
All right, hot lips.
If it means that much to Carol, I'll go and have a talk with Wilbur
and get him to shave his mustache off.
Boy, it's hot.
Boy, it's really hot.
I'll bet if you owed somebody a hot day,
you could pay him back with this one.
No shower.
No shower.
You know, I'm glad I took Roger's advice.
Somehow I feel more mature.
More confident.
More...
This is how you look to me.
How's this for dignity and maturity?
Mr. Post, any time you're ready for lunch, just let me know.
You're acting like a child.
What are we having?
Canned soup, canned stew, and canned fruit.
As long as you want to be Edison, eat like him.
It's going to be a long, cold winter.
Don't worry. She'll get used to it.
Sure, buddy boy.
Start lathering up.
When I make up my mind...
Nobody changes it.
Look, Edward.
Stop calling me Edward.
I feel like I'm wearing short pants.
Nobody changes Wilbur Post's mind.
I am master of my own home.
This mustache stays where it is.
The day anybody gets me to shave this mustache off,
that is the day you will get your stall shower.
Wilbur?
Buddy boy.
I take a size 38 shower cap.
Well, Wilbur, my boy.
How do I look?
We look like our wives got us at a one-cent sale.
Wilbur, I'm afraid we made a mistake.
Mistake?
We're living in a fast-changing world.
To be successful, you've got to be youthful.
You've got to act young, feel young, look young.
But just last week you told me I should look older.
Roger.
Wilbur, get rid of it.
Did Carol put you up to this?
Did she send you out here?
No, Kay sent me out here.
She told me Carol is very unhappy.
Oh.
So you want me to shave her mustache off and make Carol happy?
Right.
All right.
If you shave yours off and make Kay happy.
Now, let me understand this.
You mean you won't shave yours off unless I...
Right. We go together. It's a set.
Very well.
I never thought the day would come when I'd sign a mustache suicide pact.
Oh, uh...
Shh.
With my shower cap, I want a half dozen large-size Turkish towels.
I think the Dodgers have a chance this year, Edward.
I think the Dodgers have a chance this year, Edward.
My dear, how do you think I'd look with long sideburns setting off my mustache?
Like a Saint Bernard.
For all I care, you...
Wilbur, you've come home.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Mmm.
Aww.
Mmm.
I've been away a lot longer than I thought.
How did you change your mind?
Well, I paid $2 for our marriage license and it was going to waste.
Oh, I've got to call Kay.
Honey, Roger just told Kay.
He's shaving his off, too.
He is? I wonder what he'll look like.
Like an open-faced sandwich.
Addison.
Addison, will you quit stalling?
Remember your promise.
I've got to get this leather the right thickness.
You've been mixing that for 40 minutes.
I'm not mixing or baking a cake.
Now what?
It's the light. I need a stronger bulb.
We've already changed it twice. Now come on, shave it off.
I'd better use an electric razor.
Oh, let me do it.
No, no, please.
Kay, will you do me one last favor?
What do you want now, an anesthetic?
Would you leave me alone with my mustache for just a few minutes?
Do you want to say goodbye?
I feel like I'm losing an old buddy.
Oh, so is Wilbur. Now come on.
Hey, how do I know? He hasn't changed his mind.
Well, you told me he was shaving his off.
Yeah, but he could have changed his mind. I'd better go and see.
Oh, I'll go and see.
You have a reprieve for five minutes, but don't expect a phone call from the governor.
Your steak will be ready in a minute, darling.
Thank you, hon.
I'll get it.
Don't you burn that steak.
Hello?
Just a minute.
What do you want?
Now, about that shower.
I'd like a needle spray.
Why? What makes you think I got rid of my mustache?
I smelled steak cooking.
Well, you're wrong. I didn't shave it off.
I'll be in the barn later, and you can see for yourself.
Who was that on the phone, dear?
It was me.
Huh?
I mean, I'm trying to reach a plumber.
I was thinking of having a stall shower put in the barn.
A stall shower in the barn?
Wilbur, I'm so glad you have your sense of humor back.
Oh, it's off. Good boy.
Sent Nanta Harry over to see if I kept my half the bargain.
Honey, about that shower for the barn.
Wilbur, you're not serious.
I am. I mean, it's very practical.
You can take a shower on the beach, you can take a shower in the house.
I can use the one in the barn.
Why do we need two?
We don't need two showers in the barn, just one.
One in the house and one in the barn. One.
You're just silly.
Not two, one.
I'm so glad you stopped being Roger.
I wonder why he hasn't been over since he shaved his off.
Will you quit stalling?
But, my dear...
If you hurry, I'll pluck it out one hair at a time.
My mother warned me at the wedding you had a sadistic streak.
If you stall any longer, it'll fall off from old age.
Shave it off.
You'll never find it now.
Kay, will you wait outside?
Just send me hourly reports.
Kay, are you sure Wilbur shaved his off?
Well, yes. I saw it with my own two eyes.
Don't you trust me?
Of course. I'll go and see for myself.
That's right. I want the shower tiled in baby blue.
Uh-oh. There goes my shower.
Down the drain.
You see, Edward, nobody can influence me when I make up my mind.
Wife or no wife.
I didn't think you had it in you.
Well, it looks like it's going to be a long, hot summer.
You can't win them all, Ed.
I knew it. I knew it.
Oh, thank you, coward. Thank you.
May think something's rotten in Denmark.
Why should I fib to you?
I tell you, I saw Wilbur without a mustache.
Then he grew another one in the last five minutes.
But I wasn't really.
If Wilbur shaved off his mustache, I will buy you a full-length mink coat.
Wonderful. My little stole is going to have a big brother.
Wilbur.
Oh.
Mr. Mann, honey, I dropped my pencil.
Well, what is it, dear?
I just saw Roger running out of here all lathered up. What happened?
Well, let's talk about it outside. It's kind of hot in here.
You're not going to start that business about a shower for the barn again?
No, no. We can always hose him down.
Down?
Hose down. Him down. Who down?
Look, we'll talk about it outside.
Now I'm sure something's rotten in Denmark, and I'm getting a whiff of it over here.
Wilbur, stop teasing.
Honey, let's celebrate tonight.
Celebrate? Oh, this. Swell.
We'll ask the Addisons for dinner.
Fine.
I'll run to the market and get something special.
We'll have a good time.
Wilbur.
Buddy boy.
Yes, Ed.
Just out here in the garden, Ed.
Wilbur.
Wilbur.
What is it, hon?
Shall we have steaks or chops?
Uh, chops. Steaks will be fine.
Wilbur.
Yes, Kate?
I knew it. I knew it.
Addison, will you come here?
Now, look for your...
Your stole is still an only child.
Wilbur, what's going on?
Yes, dear?
Wilbur Post! What are you doing to me?
Wilbur, why are you playing games?
I guess it must be the heat.
Honey, maybe you do need that shower in the barn.
Well, if you'll excuse me,
I've got to shave.
Addison, are you really going to shave it off?
We made an agreement, my dear.
Oh, well, keep your silly old mustache.
I think I like you better that way, anyway.
Mrs. Addison, do you mean it?
I mean it, doll.
Oh, bless you, my dear.
Bless you.
Wilbur, give me that silly thing.
Know something?
You like it?
Hate it.
I like you just as you are, baby face.
Ed! Ed!
Ed, I just got the Reynolds apartment deal the hard way,
without a mustache.
Good. Hand me a towel.
One towel coming up.
I have a mustache.
Hey!
A horse is a horse of course, of course
and no one can talk to a horse of course

Go right to the source and ask the horse
he'll give you the answer that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady course

So yakety yak the streak and waste your time a day

Well listen to this

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
Could you take pictures of both children at the same time?
Sure, my horse, Burndine, don't mind.
She can carry the whole family, and you can climb on too, lady.
Me? Oh, ho!
Gee, you're lazy. Come on, Ed, let's go.
Backseat driver.
Stop kidding around.
Who's kidding? My bunions are killing me.
I've never met such a gold-rick. Remember, it was your idea to come to the park.
I thought I was going to a picnic, not a steeplechase.
You are just lazy. Look at that horse over there, working for a living.
I'll have your picture ready in a couple minutes, lady.
Thanks. Can we all stay on the horse?
Sure. Burndine don't care. She's got a strong back.
Strong back? That poor old horse is ready for Social Security.
She looks okay to me.
Please, she's due right now for the rocking chair and the shawl.
Come on, Ed.
Your picture taken?
No, thank you. No.
Nice looking horse you got there. How old is she?
Burndine's 18.
How old is yours?
Seven.
Although he acts like he's ready for the rocking chair and the shawl.
Yeah, he does look lazy.
Only time he moves is to lie down.
How would you like to buy him? He's for sale.
No, thanks. Burndine's got a lot of good years left in her.
I work her seven days a week, 12, 14 hours a day.
And she never complains.
Well, if you should change your mind, my name is Post and I live on Valley Road.
Funny looking kid.
Hey, lady, they came out great. Beautiful children.
Well, Burndine, so you're going to sell me, huh?
Well, you don't scare me a bit.
No, your four knees were shaking like castanets.
A man's horse works 14 hours a day and she never complains.
How can she? She can't talk.
Ed, someday you're going to find out that you can't enjoy life unless you work.
I've been pretty happy so far.
I can't make a Burndine work 14 hours a day. There ought to be a horse labor law.
Come on, Ed. Let's go.
Hey, I've just got to talk to you.
Why, of course, sweetie.
Are you and Wilbur coming with us to the movie tonight?
I don't know. Wilbur hasn't come back from the park yet.
He spends so much time with that horse, sometimes I...
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know Roger was napping.
Oh, you can talk. He's fast asleep.
Watch.
Doll, I'm going shopping.
I'm going to spend all your money.
Now, if that didn't wake him, nothing will.
He looks so comfortable like that.
Oh, he is. He always sleeps with his hand on his wallet.
When do you expect Wilbur back?
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
When Wilbur's with that horse, I never know when he's coming home.
He certainly spends a lot of time with that animal.
Tell me, sweetie, when you got married, who signed the license?
You or the horse?
Sometimes I think I'd get more attention from Wilbur if I grew a tail.
Let me give you a tip on how to handle your husband.
It's worked with mine for years.
Now, you see, as a matter of fact...
...the husband goes to the doctor to make sure that his wallet's on the outside.
If it's on the outside, he can't...
I don't know why I bought you this saddle, you loafer.
I should have got you a sleeping bag instead.
That poor old horse, Bernadine. He works her seven days a week.
That's all you have talked about since we came home.
She's 18 years old.
If Bernadine was human, she'd be 126.
Ed, that is enough.
Would you let a 126-year-old woman carry kids on her back?
If she enjoyed it, yes.
A great humanitarian you are not.
Look, Ed, Bernadine is not my horse. What do you want me to do?
Let her come live with us. What's another mouth to feed?
Don't press your luck, Ed. I have enough trouble with Carol just keeping you.
Will you send me out to work when I'm 126?
Oh, stop being so dramatic.
I can see the inscription on my tombstone.
Here lies Ed. Dead.
Look, I don't want to hear another word about that horse.
Wilbur, I hate to interfere in other people's lives,
but if you're wise, you'll take a little friendly tip.
What is it?
Sell your horse.
Sell Ed? Why?
Either that or sell your wife.
And with the cold weather approaching, I would say Carol is a better bet.
Has Carol been complaining about Ed again?
She certainly has. You know, you're spending too much time with him.
My boy, take a little friendly tip.
Spend more time with a little woman.
And it might not be a bad idea to bring her some flowers tonight.
Flowers? That's a good idea.
But I wish Carol had told me how she felt.
Well, the time to start worrying is when they stop talking.
You're right.
I remember now. Carol didn't say a word just before I proposed to her.
She sat there staring at me. Sort of makes small talk.
I said, how about getting married?
Wilbur, I'll never understand why you spend so much time with that stupid animal.
Shouldn't have said that. You hurt his feelings.
What?
Animals can tell how you feel about them by the tone of your voice.
They can?
Troublemaker!
You're very juvenile.
What about that poor old Bernadine?
That is enough.
Haven't you got a heart?
All right.
126 years old and still working.
Ed, I'm warning you, you better watch it.
How can I through that door?
You heard what Addison said.
I'm paying too much attention to you and not enough to Carol.
That's going to lead to trouble and trouble is the last thing I want around my house.
I'm going out to buy Carol some flowers now and I don't want to hear another word out of you.
Now about that Bernadine.
Now about that Bernadine.
I wonder where Wilbur went.
I'm afraid we're going to be late for the movie.
He's probably out for a stroll with Mr. Ed.
I wouldn't be surprised if he and that horse eloped.
Oh, I'd hate to miss the opening of the picture.
You never know what's going on anyway.
And what sort of a nasty crack is that?
My dear, at the movie you're either gabbing, buying candy or looking for your shoe.
Oh, what a lucky girl I was to have married the perfect man.
No, no, my dear.
You were not lucky.
You were blessed.
Didn't Wilbur tell you where he was going?
He knows that...
Excuse me.
Wilbur.
Telegram, ma'am.
Mrs. Puts... Putts... Post.
Wilbur, this is no time for games.
Congratulations on your anniversary, Mrs. Post.
What anniversary?
You've been married exactly three years, eight months, six days, 11 hours and 12 minutes.
I never get flowers.
Darling, you're right.
Tomorrow morning I'm going to turn you loose in the garden with a pair of shoes.
Thanks, darling.
Thank you, honey.
You know, for a while there I was beginning to think you preferred your horse to me.
Are you kidding?
It may have more legs than you, but in nylons he's nothing.
Well, now that we've had a belly full of this marsh, shall we get on to the movie?
Right.
I'll get it. I'll cut it short, honey.
I'll get the car.
Hello.
How can you sit at the movie while Bernadine stands on fallen arches?
Look, I told you I refused to discuss it.
I'll be right out.
I'll phone you from my office.
Be right back, honey.
Who was that on the phone, dear?
Jerry Williams.
He wants to discuss a business deal.
It's kind of confidential, so I'm going to phone him from my office.
All right.
Oh, honey, don't stand too close to the roses.
Why not?
Next to you, they look like weeds.
Oh, isn't Wilbur wonderful?
Flowers, compliments, kissing my hand.
If my husband acted that way, I'd have him followed.
Oh, I don't have to worry about my Wilbur.
He's like the geyser in Yellowstone Park.
Old faithful.
So young.
Ed, you are acting like a child.
Now, I don't want to hear another word about Bernadine.
But why can't she live with us?
Two can live as cheap as one.
Not when they both eat like horses.
Okay, then I won't eat.
Give her my food.
Now, where's Wilbur?
By the time we get to that movie, it'll be on TV.
Relax, doll.
The price has changed hours ago.
I'm sorry, Roger.
Wilbur had a call from Jerry Williams.
Jerry Williams?
He left for Europe yesterday.
Well, sweetie, he could have called from the boat.
That'd be a good trick, since he took a plane.
A plane?
Yeah.
Oh, no, no, no.
Must be somebody else.
I'd better turn off the motor.
Why would Wilbur say Jerry Williams called if he didn't?
That's a good question.
Kissing my hand, bringing me flowers, full of compliments.
Why is he doing all of this suddenly?
Oh, well, darling, it could be any reason.
Your husband loves you, and he wants you to be happy.
Or he has a guilty conscience.
Your reason will sound better in court.
They're waiting for me.
Poor Bernadine is 130 years old.
You said she was 126.
Well, you know how women lie about their ages.
I have just made up with Carol,
and I don't intend to start any more arguments.
Now go to sleep.
I won't sleep.
Will you?
I don't want to hear another word about this.
It's over, it's settled, it's finished, it's...
Final.
Final.
About Bernadine.
Go eat your hay.
Party pants.
Well, let's go.
Coming, princess?
Wilbur, who did you say called you before?
Hmm? Oh, Jerry Williams.
That Jerry Williams never stops working.
Working.
Here it is, 8 o'clock, and he's still talking business.
Several days ago, we started on an expedition to the movies.
What happened? Have I lost the safari?
Sorry, Roger. Come on, girls, let's go.
Don't be suspicious, dear.
Whatever you think Wilbur is up to,
we're probably mistaken.
I just hope Old Faithful isn't blowing off steam for somebody else.
Boy, that movie really put me to sleep.
Wilbur?
Yes?
Do you like my hair this way?
Huh?
Oh, yeah, I like it right where it is.
Top of your head.
Good night.
Would you like me better if I changed the color?
Huh?
How about if I dyed it red?
Or black?
Or do you like platinum better?
Honey, I'd like you if you were bald.
Don't you care how I look?
Honey, you can be red one day and brunette the next.
I don't care.
I like girls with convertible tops.
Wilbur?
Do you love me?
Of course.
Say it.
Huh?
Say it.
Oh.
Night.
Is it so hard for you to say I love you?
I love you.
I can't sleep.
Then take a pill.
I don't want a pill.
Would you mind getting me one?
You seem to be keeping me awake.
Wilbur?
Is there anything you think I should know?
Wilbur, there's something we must discuss.
I know you weren't talking to Jerry Williams tonight.
And if there's some other woman in your life, please tell me.
No.
No.
No, Bernadine.
No.
No, I can't support two.
Carol would never let me have another around the house.
I can't.
All the time.
Bernadine.
Bernadine.
What's so funny?
Bernadine.
Benedict, ooh.
Aah!
Ready for breakfast, dear.
What's for breakfast, honey?
Your favorite.
Black coat, burnt eggs, chard, bacon?
Where'd you get this, at a fire sale?
You should have married a better cook.
Didn't you sleep well last night, dear?
No, but you did.
With a big smile on your face.
Hi, Kay.
Good morning, Wilbur.
Kay, I wouldn't go in the kitchen.
You'll have all your hit with a frying pan.
She is in a bad mood today.
I wonder why.
Kay, would you do me a favor?
Find out what's bothering her.
You mean you have no idea?
Hmm?
Oh, yeah.
We talked about it last night.
She made it very plain.
Well, what are you going to do about it?
Hmm? Nothing.
If she wants red hair, it's okay with me.
Excuse me, Kay.
I'm gonna feed Ed.
I'm gonna feed Ed.
Now, who's Bernadine?
I thought you were Wilbur.
Bernadine who?
I don't know.
Wilbur talked about her in his sleep last night.
Oh, poor little doll.
Kay, I'm going to have it out with him.
Oh, no, sweetie.
That'd be the worst thing you could do.
Well, what do you expect me to do?
Keep quiet?
Darling, once you tell him you know, it could be the finish.
Just be patient.
Oh, don't eat that, Kay.
I burned it on purpose.
Mmm.
Tastes fine to me.
This is how Addison always cooks my breakfast.
Kay, what am I going to do?
Look, doll.
I'll have my husband pump Wilbur.
Men tell each other things they never tell their wives.
But then Wilbur will know I know.
Oh, no, doll.
Addison may not be the brightest man in the world,
but he ranks with the sneakiest.
I wonder what Bernadine looks like.
Yes, Wilbur.
It won't stop.
Wilbur, stop shouting.
Stop shouting?
I've never heard of such a thing.
The crime is done.
I've already kidnapped Bernadine.
Ed, you are going to get me into a lot of trouble.
She'll never punch a time clock again.
I'm putting her out to pasture.
Ed, Bernadine's owner, this Charlie Woods, just called me.
He knows she's missing.
Where are you calling from?
That phone booth in the parking lot on Laurel Road.
Oh, I owe you a dime.
A dime?
I took it off of your desk.
Go ahead, add robbery to your charges.
Look, I am not going to change my mind.
You know how I feel about Bernadine.
You stay right where you are. I'm coming over.
We're going to settle this once and for all.
Hi, Roger. Look, I got to run.
Wilbur.
There's something I want to talk to you about.
Not now. I'm in a hurry.
But this is important.
You know, there comes a time in every married man's life
when he feels like stepping out.
Don't do it, Roger. Kay's a wonderful girl.
Didn't Wilbur say where he was going?
No. He just jumped in the car and drove off.
But you were supposed to have that talk with him.
I did.
Well, what did he say?
He said I should stick with you.
What?
He never even came in to say goodbye.
Oh, I'm sure this is a misunderstanding.
Wilbur just isn't the type.
Of course he isn't.
And at least you'll get the house.
Wilbur wouldn't even look at another woman.
Where's my Bernadine?
Ah!
Mr. Post stole her from me.
Just a minute, my good man.
I'll take him to court.
There are laws against these things.
You have only yourself to blame.
If you had treated her properly, she never would have left you.
Mr. Don't-tell-me-how-to-handle-Bernadine,
I haven't laid a whip to her in years.
No wonder you can't hold on to her.
I don't want to argue.
Where's my Bernadine?
With my husband.
Ah!
What's he want with her?
She's 18 years old.
18 years old?
That's right.
And she's got another four or five good years left in her.
No way to talk about your wife.
What?
Bernadine is a horse.
He married her. He ought to know.
Look, I don't know what's going on around here,
but where's my horse?
I got to take pictures in the park.
I got to make a living.
Do you mean Bernadine is really a horse?
Sure.
With four legs?
What other kind is there?
Oh, thank you!
Hey, what's going on?
Mr. Post, I've been looking for you.
Where's Bernadine?
She's outside. I just brought her back.
What's the idea of stealing my horse?
I didn't steal your horse.
My horse stole her.
No, I mean, he didn't steal her.
He thought she was working too hard.
I mean, he doesn't know...
Hey, what's going on?
You're a kook.
Excuse me.
I'm not well.
I've had better days myself.
Wilbur.
I know, I know.
You're upset because I've been spending so much time with Ed.
Come here.
Why were you kissing that man?
Wilbur, you're jealous.
I'm surprised at you.
If a couple can't trust each other,
what is there to a marriage?
You're right, dear. I shouldn't have been jealous.
But why were you hugging that man?
Oh, Wilbur.
People.
They sure can get a horse into a lot of trouble.
Well, wise guy,
I just had a talk with Bernadine's owner.
Do you know what he says?
Yeah.
She was a scrawny, unhappy animal when he got her.
Now she is happy and healthy.
And do you know why?
Yeah.
Because she loves to work.
She loves to work?
That's right.
Only through some horses are dumb animals.
A horse is a horse, a horse is a horse,
a horse is a horse, a horse is a horse,
and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course,
unless the horse is the famous Mr. M.
Go right to the source and ask the horse,
he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. M.
He'll yakety-yak the street and waste your time a day,
but Mr. M. will never speak
unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, a horse is a horse,
you never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this.
I am Mr. Ed.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
Come on, it's your turn.
Uh, move my pawn down.
Here?
Yeah, checkmate.
Darn it, that's the fourth game in a row you've beaten me.
Five, but Pooh's counting.
You've just had an amazing run of luck. I'll beat you this time.
Mm-hmm, well, just to make it interesting, how about a little side bet, like five sugar cubes?
I've told you many times, it is wrong to bet. Warps your character, makes you greedy, and I always lose.
My move, huh?
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Um, you're in trouble.
What did I do wrong?
You started the game.
Uh, will you move my second pawn down, too, please?
Move it yourself.
Please, those small ones get stuck in my teeth.
Uh-huh.
Ah.
Wilbur, you're not much of a chess player, but I enjoy these hours we spend together.
I don't know what I'd do without you. Really, Wilbur.
If you would stop jabbering, maybe I could concentrate and win one of these games.
To show you we're real pals, I'll help you.
Move your king's rook down two squares.
Mm-hmm.
Mine up one.
Now yours down one.
Mine up one.
Bring your bishop down one square.
Now, uh, my bishop in front of it.
Checkmate. You lose again.
Well, I'd like to get you on a tennis court.
A tennis court? Oh, you're beautiful.
Let's play another game. And no help, please.
Okay, you set them up. Meanwhile, I'll get us a couple of apples.
A little later.
You came, Lucklin.
Well, what did Wilbur get you for your birthday?
I don't know yet.
You mean you didn't tell him what you want?
Of course not. I believe in taking pot luck.
Oh, that's dangerous, darling. You're liable to wind up with a pot.
Does he know today's your birthday?
Well, I guess so.
You guess so? Oh, listen to this poor, innocent child.
By now, you should have gotten your gift and exchanged it for something more expensive.
Well, I think I know what he's going to get me.
What?
Well, last week, Wilbur and I were passing Pierre's jewelry shop,
and I saw the most beautiful pair of earrings in the window, and I pointed them out to him.
Sweetie, dogs are pointers. Wives are grabbers.
You should have gotten them on the spot.
Oh, I'm not worried. Wilbur's probably out buying those earrings right now.
Hi, Wilbur.
Hi, Rod.
Kay tells me...
Who are you playing chess with?
With myself.
How are you making out?
I lost four times in a row.
Five.
Last time, I gave myself some bad advice.
Kay just told me you're getting your wife some pearl earrings for her birthday.
I know a place that will give you a wonderful...
Pearl earrings? Holy cow, I forgot.
Well, calm down, boy. Calm down.
Rod, thanks for reminding me.
I better get right down to Pierre's and pick up those earrings.
Pierre's? You are buying your wife genuine pearl earrings?
Yeah, why not?
Never let your heart run away with your wallet.
This time, I'd like to really surprise Carol, you know?
I'll tell you what.
After dinner, I'll bring her over to your place.
I'll pretend we're gonna have a game of bridge.
Then I'll give her the earrings.
We'll have a big birthday cake, imported champagne.
Bacon champagne? What? At my house?
Oh, I'll pay.
Oh, good, fine.
Yeah, you say the little woman deserves the best.
And, Roger?
Yeah?
Would you do me a favor?
I want this to really surprise Carol, so don't tell your wife.
Don't worry.
I only say two things to Kay all day.
Good morning and good night.
All conversation in between is strictly hers.
Well, happy spending.
I thought old pickle pusher'd never leave.
Ed, guess what?
Today is Carol's birthday.
Swell. Set up the chess board and we'll celebrate.
Carol, I can't play chess now.
I gotta buy some earrings.
Um, in the middle of our game?
She's my wife.
So what? I'm your horse.
Sorry, Ed, I can't spend all my time with you.
See you later.
Wilbur, let's compromise, huh?
Spend your evenings with her and your days with me.
Don't feel bad, Ed.
When it's your birthday, I'll get you earrings.
Wife.
Big deal.
I bet it would take her ten minutes to run a mile.
Oh, hi, honey.
Have you been in the barn all this time?
Uh, yes. I just remembered.
I've gotta go downtown.
To get something?
Uh, yes.
For whom?
I mean, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
Oh, I can tell you, dear.
Gonna buy some hay at the feed store.
Oh, thank you, Doc.
Hay?
Yeah. See you later.
Wilbur?
Yeah?
You've always said I had pretty shell-like ears.
A beachcomber's delight, my sweet.
Well, don't you think they need a little something to show them off?
You're right.
Why don't you curl your hair over your ears?
Like that. Beautiful.
Tell you a secret, honey. I married you for your ears.
Sure.
Yeah. I mean, the lips, the nose, the eyes, all that stuff.
Just part of the package deal.
If you want my ears, they'll be in the kitchen.
I'll get it, dear.
Hello?
How about getting back to our chess game?
I can't, Ed.
I gotta go down to Pierre's and pick up Carol's present.
But, Wilbur, we gotta play.
It's the only thing that takes my mind off of my poor sprained back.
You're just faking.
You just don't like to be alone.
Now, look, you play solitaire until I come back from Pierre's.
Pierre's.
I'm sure your wife will appreciate the pearl earrings, Mr. Post.
Yeah. Frankly, I didn't expect to pay so much, but after all, what's money?
Hard come, easy go.
Well, you know what they say.
You have only one wife.
Yes, I do.
And I'm sure she'll appreciate the pearl earrings.
I'm sure she'll appreciate the pearl earrings.
I'm sure she'll appreciate the pearl earrings.
You have only one wife.
Yeah. And at these prices, I'm glad she's got only two ears.
Would you like to have the earrings delivered?
Yes, please.
The address is 17230 Valley Road.
17230 Valley Road.
Wait a minute. On second thought, maybe I better take it with me.
I want to surprise my wife.
But she might notice it. The package is very conspicuous, no?
Yes, that's true.
I know. I'll hide it in the closet, and then after dinner,
when we're playing bridge with our neighbors, I'll go back and sneak it out.
Excuse me.
Piers, may I help you?
Yes. Mr. Post, it's for you.
Me?
Yes.
Thank you.
Hello?
Why did you hang up on me before?
I'm sorry. I was in a hurry.
Look, you eat your hay, and I'll play chess with you later.
No, Ed. I am not ignoring you.
Didn't I ride you in the park on Sunday?
Okay. If you've got burrs in your tail, I'll comb them out.
See you later.
There's a friend of mine. We're always kidding around.
It sounded to me like you were talking to a horse.
Well, how could that be?
Thank you for wrapping the package so nicely.
Oh, excuse me.
Hello? One minute. Mr. Post, it's your friend the horse again.
Thank you.
Now what is it?
Come home. I've got a headache.
My eyes hurt.
Maybe you've been watching TV too much.
You're right. Maybe I need glasses.
Glasses?
Now listen, Ed. I know, but...
I know, but...
No, Ed. There is no such thing as a horse optometrist.
All right. I'll come home.
But Ed, if you're kidding, I'll twist a knot in your tail.
It's a friend of mine. He's quite a character.
A friend of mine.
Believe me, Wilbur, I'm very nearsighted.
Runs in my family.
My mother used to bump into trees.
We'll find out.
And my father was even worse.
He was married to Mother for ten years and never knew what she looked like.
Yeah. Okay, now read the chart.
What chart?
The one on the wall.
What wall?
I know. Stop the faking, Ed.
I want you to read the fourth line from the top,
start at the first letter.
Uh...
It's either a B or a G or an I.
Or an X.
Never mind. Read the big one at the top.
That's easy. It's an O.
You're right. It's an O.
It is not. It's an E.
Ah, your eyes are perfect. I tricked you.
No, my eyes are bad.
I know the Fairbanks Optical Company always puts an E on the top of their charts.
How do you know the Fairbanks Company made this chart?
Well, that's what it says right there on the bottom.
Manufactured by the Fairbanks Optical Company.
How about a little chess?
I am tired of you and your faking.
But I get lonely in here, four empty walls, no one to talk to.
A horse can go stir crazy.
Silver!
In here, honey.
The eternal triangle.
A man, a wife, and his horse.
What would you like for dinner tonight?
Or do you think we should eat out?
Eat out? Oh, no, no, we can't eat out.
You see, after dinner, we're going over to the Addisons.
Oh, is there something going on there?
No, nothing, nothing. Just gonna play some bridge.
Sounds exciting.
I hate to tease her like this, but there's one thing about a surprise gift.
You've got to give it at the right time.
Are you gonna be at the Addisons all night?
Of course, it's my wife's birthday.
Why don't you just hand her the earrings and blow?
Look, Ed, at 8 o'clock, when I sneak out of the Addisons' house to pick up the earrings,
I'll drop by here and say goodnight to you.
Big deal.
Think you can spare the time?
Anybody home?
Kay's upstairs.
Good.
How about Carol's birthday cake here?
Where can I hide it where Kay won't find it?
In the kitchen. She never goes in there.
Addison doll, who came in?
It was Wilbur, my love.
I'll duck this in the closet. She's coming down.
Hello, Kay.
Hi, Wilbur.
I just dropped by to borrow a cup of pencils.
What's Carol doing?
She's getting ready to go to the market.
Why don't you join her, my love?
No, no, I hate to shop for anything I can't wear.
I'm going to the beauty parlor and see what colors they're pushing this week.
Addison, I'd like to get my coat.
Coat? On a stifling day like this?
Oh, hey, it's not only stifling. It's hot.
It's so hot outside that the pigeons are sitting under the statues.
Addison, please.
Goodbye, my dear.
Doll, I'm in no mood for games.
But, sweetheart, I'm only thinking of you.
If you go out on a hot day like this, you might get overheated.
You might get a chill.
And before you know it, you're in the hospital.
And there's only so much penicillin can do.
All right, I'll wear my little black sweater.
Great idea. I'll go get it.
It's in the closet.
Well, I'll have my hair back before dinner.
I'm going to be surprising Carol with that cake in the closet.
Cake? Wilbur would like this to be a real surprise.
Now, promise me you won't say a word to Carol.
Well, of course.
Well, see you.
Hold it, loose lips.
Why don't you stay here until our bridge game tonight?
Well, Wilbur, you trust me, don't you?
Oh, sure. But you know how it is.
You start talking to Carol. She says, how are things?
You say, fine, Wilbur's got a cake in our closet.
And before you know it, she catches on.
Will you please get that while I hold on to the town crier?
Hello?
It's for me.
What is it?
I got an air ache, Wilbur.
Rush over with a couple of hundred aspirin.
Well, I'm sorry, I don't need any insurance, Mr. Christie.
Don't be too rough on her, Roger.
Use leg irons only if necessary.
Ah, that was a delicious dinner.
Let's hope we're lucky at bridge tonight, huh?
It'd be nice to be lucky at something.
I don't know, it's too hot for a coat. I'll put it in the closet.
Oh, no, no. No, you should wear a coat, honey.
It's so cool outside, the pigeons who were sitting under the statue are now wearing sweaters.
Wilbur.
Remember, honey, no tumping my ace tonight, huh?
I'll get it.
No, no. I'll get it. You go on to the Addisons.
Hello?
There's a suspicious looking character hanging around the house.
You'll say anything to get me in that barn, won't you?
But Wilbur, this time I'm telling the truth.
I crossed my Fedlocks and hoped to die.
Suspicious character.
Why don't you invite him in to play chess with you?
Kay, you were so right. He forgot.
I should have been a grabber instead of a pointer.
Excuse me. There is something I must tell you.
Yes?
I'm sorry, my dear.
You were saying?
I will tell Carol that it looks like another warm day tomorrow.
A simple weather report.
Beautifully put, my dear.
Sorry I kept you waiting.
Well, here we go again. Posts against the Addisons.
If you don't mind, I'd like to play with Roger.
I don't mind if Kay doesn't.
You can play with anyone you want as long as the money is in my name.
I could do with a cold drink, too.
Honey, can I get you something?
No, thank you. I have everything I need.
There are some cold drinks in the refrigerator, Wilbur.
Help yourself.
Carol, I've just got...
A wonderful husband you have there, Carol.
That's what he keeps telling me.
Happy birthday, honey.
Happy birthday, Carol.
Oh, my darling.
You fooled me.
Oh, you're all so wonderful.
Big secret, wasn't it?
And that isn't all, honey.
That insurance agent again. I'll get it.
Happy birthday again, dear.
Don't cut it now. Don't cut it.
That crook's in your house now.
No, I've already got enough insurance, Mr. Christy.
Goodbye.
Guy never gives up.
Carol, as I was saying, that isn't all.
I have another surprise for you.
Back in a second.
All right, darling.
Kay, what did he get me?
Kay?
I promised I wouldn't tell.
But they'll look lovely on your ears.
Oh, just what I wanted.
That's right. Earlaps.
I should get you one to put over your mouth.
Oh, my Carol.
Come here, darling.
Hey!
Stop!
Another man in space.
Okay, buddy, put them up.
This is the law.
If you turn around, I'll let you have it.
I ain't moving.
Take one step and you're dead meat.
Please, officer, just arrest me.
The wagon will be here in a minute.
I just phoned the station.
Keep those hands off.
Please, don't shoot. Please.
Don't turn around or I'll blast you.
Sure as my name is Elliot Nass.
I'm not turning, officer. Please.
Just take me in.
Okay, okay, what's going on?
Officer, I'm guilty.
I stole these things from this guy here.
Oh, you did, huh?
My wife's earrings.
My wallet.
Officer, I'm glad you got here.
This cop behind me is trigger-happy.
What cop?
The only thing behind you is a horse.
But there was a cop there.
I heard him talk.
He was holding a gun on me.
He said he was Elliot Nass.
Well, it couldn't be a horse.
There was a man talking, not a horse.
A talking horse?
This man is obviously in need of help.
Come on, buddy.
A man was talking?
That's impossible.
Come on.
You're right.
He was right. I need help.
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't believe you,
but this is what happens when you don't tell the truth all the time.
Yeah, you're right. You're right.
From now on, it's only going to be the truth.
All right.
Tell you what, I'll sneak over later,
and we'll have a nice game of chess.
Good, but hurry, because I got a toothache.
Me, too.
Toothache? Why is he holding his back?
Oh, I love my earrings, darling.
How did you know I wanted them?
Well, when you pointed to them at Pierre's,
you nearly broke the window.
Oh, and thank you, Kay, for the perfume.
Oh, it's powerful stuff, doll.
Don't use it if you're only kidding.
And thank you, Roger, for the handkerchief.
My dear, it was nothing.
You're right.
A toast to my wife.
Yeah.
Carol.
Carol.
To Carol.
Thank you.
Excuse me, I'll be right back.
And you thought I'd forgotten your birthday, huh?
Oh, you sure forgot me.
Oh, you do remind me of my mother, a thousand years ago.
Carol.
Carol.
For me?
It's for you.
Nobody knows I'm here.
It's for you just the same.
Thank you, Roger.
Hello.
Oh, Wilford, how thoughtful, a singing telegram.
A singing...
Yeah.
For she's a jolly good fellow,
which nobody can deny.
Happy birthday, Carol.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much.

Hello, chérie.
How are you?
What's with the beret and the phonograph?
Where'd you get them?
I ordered them over the telephone.
I am thinking of taking the trip around the world.
The only trip you're taking is around the stable.
The horse wanting to travel, that's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard of.
But I want to see Spain, France, China.
China?
China, coming up.
I'm getting the rickshaw, I'll be right with you.
Oh, hopping rickshaw, sir.
25 yen, first mile.
I run very fast.
Oh, come on, here we go.
Oh, we thought we had Great Wall of China.
We're on the right place, and on the right, we have the fate.
I think you've flipped your fortune cookie.
Thank you, Pudgy.
Well, what's new?
You still married?
No, I'm still single.
Well, what's new? You still married, okay?
Wilbur, I don't understand what goes on in here.
Somehow you're a different man once you come into this bar.
You talk to yourself, you act strangely.
Why don't you give up this place and get yourself an office on the outside?
I can't. I'm not well.
I'll see the world if I have to join the Navy.
Hello?
Hello, this is George Hausner from radio station WPXQ.
What's on your mind, George?
I'm calling for our giant jackpot contest.
Is this Mr. Post?
How much is the prize?
$100.
This is Mr. Post. What's your question?
Mr. Post, you have just one minute to answer.
Now, you may feel free to use any books that you have.
Your friends can help you.
Stop gabbing, George, and ask the question.
All right, Mr. Post, you have one minute to answer.
Can you tell us, what is the capital of Iceland?
That's easy. Reykjavik.
Congratulations, Mr. Post, you have won $100.
And you are now eligible for our giant jackpot $5,000 prize next week.
$5,000?
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Those little Spanish fillies are practically sitting on my lap now.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha.
Wilbur!
What? What's the matter?
Why didn't you tell me you won a contest?
Oh, well, I didn't... What contest?
This contest. Oh, you should have told me.
Wilbur Post, 17 Valley Road, won contest.
Eligible for $5,000 final next week.
Must be some other Wilbur Post.
Living at the same address?
You got a point there.
Oh, Wilbur, I'm so proud of you.
Honey, I tell you, it wasn't me.
I'm gonna call the radio station and...
It was me, buddy boy.
Had you fooled for a minute, didn't I?
Oh, Wilbur, how did you know that the capital of Iceland was Rykjavik?
It is? I mean, it is.
Any school horse knows... Any school boy knows that.
Well, how's our famous quiz kid?
Congratulations, my boy.
Isn't it wonderful? Just imagine, if he answers this question, we get $5,000.
Two mink coats as the fur flies.
Wilbur, what do you intend to do with the $5,000 if you win?
Well, I really hadn't thought about it.
Well, we've always wanted to travel, but we never could afford it.
Maybe we could go to Europe.
Sure. And if we run out of money in Copenhagen, I'll just pick up the phone and win another $5,000.
Oh, I wish we could go along.
Why not? Money was meant to be spent.
Oh, I think it's a wonderful idea. The four of us should have a rousing time in Europe.
Sure. We'll spend the $5,000 we won, and then with the $5,000 you're going to spend, we will have a rousing time.
You mean...
We're not going as your guests?
Well, on second thought, let's see America first. It's more patriotic.
And cheaper.
Oh, honey, I always said you were smart.
Wait till my family read about your winning.
My father always thought you were a dumbbell.
Yeah, well, this will prove... He did?
Well, I bet he doesn't know that Reykjavik is the capital of Sweden.
Iceland.
I just want to see if you're on your toes.
Well, if you want me to hear, I'll be in my office, resting my brain.
Rupert, maybe you should start studying. I mean, who knows what question they're going to ask you next week.
Just let them dial. I'll be ready at my end.
Ed? Oh, boy. Ed, how did you do it?
It was nothing.
Start at the very beginning. Tell me all about it.
Nothing to tell. The phone rang, I answered, and please put the hundred in my account.
I was so excited. You know, if we win that $5,000, I'm going to take her to Europe.
Sure, we can't leave her here. Let's take her with us.
And we'll travel first class. I don't like to mix with the hoi polloi.
Ed, forget about it. We can't take a horse along.
Hold it, Mac. Who's taking who?
I answered the phone last night.
But you used my name.
But I used my brain.
Well, we'll try to work something out, Ed.
Meanwhile, I better start phoning up.
Wilbur, I've been thinking.
When that phone rings next week, you may get stage fright.
They may ask you a perfectly simple question like,
Who is the 13th President of the United States?
You can't answer. The next day, millions of people are going to be laughing at you.
Why is your horse wearing this Tyrolean hat?
Oh, well, I let him eat a piece of my Swiss cheese sandwich, and it went to his head.
You were right. You aren't well.
Ed.
The 13th President. Abraham Lincoln?
Andrew Jackson?
Zachary Taylor?
Try Mickey Mouse.
Who was it?
Millard Fillmore, born January 7, 1800, died...
All right, don't rub it in.
Ed, I'll feel like a fool if I miss an easy question.
And you can't help me because Carol and the Addisons will be with me.
Well, don't worry about that.
Just cancel all of your engagements this week.
What for?
I'm going to coach you.
Ed, I would really appreciate it.
Cut the corn. Just repeat after me.
George Washington, born February 27.
Carol, be sensible.
Is it worth it? Your husband is driving himself to exhaustion.
He's been studying every night this week.
He hasn't slept. He's been skipping meals. He's been...
Grover, you look tired. Can I get you some coffee?
Coffee. Brazil. Area. 3,288,050 square miles.
He's a walking zombie.
Honey, you skipped dinner. Can I fix you a turkey sandwich?
Turkey. Republic since 1923.
Bordered on the west by Greece, Bulgaria, and the Aegean Sea.
Look what he's going through to win this contest.
And you want him to throw away that prize money.
Money. The international rate of exchange.
In Greece, the currency unit is the drachma.
In Guatemala, it's the quetzal.
In Honduras, it's the limpera.
In Iceland, it...
Iceland, it's...
Dried fish.
Oh, Addison, why don't you leave him alone?
Alone. The act of lending or a sum of money lent for interest.
See, interest.
Honey, maybe you studied enough tonight.
No, I've got a lot more reading to do, dear.
If you want me, I'll be in the barn.
Darling, the barn's over here.
Morning, Roger. Morning, Kay.
Nine o'clock at night and he says good morning?
Is this worth a trip to Europe?
Europe, a continent with adjacent islands...
Get your thinking cap on, amigo.
We're doing Spain.
Yes, master.
What is the capital?
Cap... Capital of Spain.
Capital of Spain?
Oh, Ed, Ed, it's no use. I'm worn out.
Shall I give you a massage?
Ed, it won't help.
When that phone rings tomorrow,
I'll be too tired to think of the answer.
And with Carol and Addison in the room with me,
you won't be able to help me.
Oh, yes, I will.
Ed, you mean you're going to talk in front of everyone?
No, it's going to be just you and me in this barn, chum.
How far is the Earth from the Moon?
Uh, 250,000 miles.
Right.
Uh, what year was Lincoln assassinated?
1865.
A month?
April.
The day?
The 14th.
You want to know what Abe had for dinner?
Oh, we're a cinch to win tonight, Ed.
Then I'll take you on the continent, all over.
Oh, we'll eat like a king.
In Italy, it'll be a parmesan,
and France, haute sousette.
In Germany, carrots, wiener schnitzel.
Oh, that's what I call eating.
Wilbur, you've been around that horse so long,
you're starting to eat like one.
Hiya, Roger. Pull up a chair.
Thanks.
Have a grape.
No, no, no.
Wilbur, I've come to appeal to you.
If you answer that question correctly tonight,
you may break up a happy marriage.
Oh, no. Carol loves me.
I'm talking about my own marriage.
I'm going to be frank with you.
I'm not as well off as Kay thinks,
and if she goes on a spending spree in Europe,
I'll come home a pauper.
Please, I happen to know you are loaded.
Why don't you want to take your wife on a trip to Europe?
Because I'm not only loaded, I'm stingy.
Wilbur, this is Mr. Hausner from the Giant Jackpot Show.
Oh, don't get up, Mr. Post.
Thank you.
Mr. Hausner, this is my neighbor, Mr. Edison.
Mr. Edison, how do you do?
If you'll excuse me, I have an appointment with the bankruptcy board.
Mr. Hausner is here to give you last-minute instructions.
That's right, Mr. Post.
I want to make sure, first of all,
that you'll be home at 9 o'clock when we make that big telephone call.
Oh, don't you worry. I'll be here.
Honey, would you wake me at, oh, about 5 to 9?
I'll be taking a little nap.
Isn't he confident?
Do you know he has barely looked at a book in two days?
Once I read something, I never forget it.
I have total recall.
Total recall?
He can't remember what he ate today.
Just one more reminder, Mr. Post.
You'll have one minute to answer the question.
Now then, feel free to use any reference books
your friends or your wife can help you.
Oh, thank you. I don't need anybody with me.
You certainly have the most amazing confidence.
I just left your competitor, Carl Schultz, at his grocery store,
and you've never seen a more nervous man.
Some people have it. Some people don't.
He's pretty smart with my brains.
Well, good luck, Mr. Post.
Thanks, but I won't need it.
Oh, did I leave my briefcase in your living room, Mrs. Post?
Briefcase? No, you didn't have any.
Oh, I must have left it somewhere.
Well, remember, you will have just 60 seconds
to come up with the right answer.
60 seconds for a simple geography question.
I wonder what I'll do with the extra 59.
Here, I'll show you out, Mr. Hathaway.
Thank you.
Carl.
Carl, do you think it's all right to come back here?
Nobody answered the front door. Maybe there's somebody back here.
But, Carl, maybe we should bring Mr. Hathaway's briefcase to the radio station.
He must be looking for it.
But he told us he will be coming here.
Maybe there's somebody back in the barn. Let's look.
Nobody answers.
Oh, what a beautiful horse.
Carl, if you are lucky enough to win the contest,
could we buy a little farm and a nice horse like this?
There you go, dreaming again, Frieda.
People like us don't have such luck.
I guess you are right.
Look at this beautiful house.
Must be a very smart man, that architect.
Yes, Frieda, he must be.
Carl, if we are lucky enough and we win,
maybe we can send for my mother.
I haven't seen her in 33 years.
We'll see, Frieda. We'll see. Come.
33 years.
That's a long time not to see your mother.
Those Soltzers are going to need some help.
Carol, shouldn't you be waking him?
They'll be calling in a few minutes.
Oh, Addison doll, you do want Wilbur to win after all.
Nobody wants to live next door to a loser.
Oh, honey, we love Europe.
Of course, they say travel is very broadening.
When it comes to money, it can be very flattening.
Wilbur, it's time.
Coming, dear.
Honey, guess what?
If you win, Roger is coming to Europe with us.
Well...
We'll come down to steerage and say hello to you.
Honey, are you sure you don't want us to go to the barn with you?
We could look for the answer in the books.
I'm an expert page-turner.
I used to date a librarian.
Thank you, thank you. That won't be necessary.
At a time like this, I should be alone with my thoughts.
I'm a lucky girl to be married to such a brilliant man.
You know, Addison may not be smart, sweetie, but he's loaded.
Time for company.
Mrs. Post?
That's right.
I'm Charlie Grant from the Jai Jackpot Show.
I'm here to take some pictures of your husband.
I'm going to go ahead.
In a few minutes, that phone's going to ring.
You'll give the answer,
and soon you'll be serenading a Spanish filly under her stable window.
Pull up a chair, Wilbur.
For you or me?
Wilbur, there comes a time in your life when you have to make sacrifices.
What do you mean?
33 years is a long, long time not to see your old mother.
What are you talking about?
Mrs. Post?
Yes?
I'm Charlie Grant from Jai Jackpot.
Oh, yes, well, would you mind waiting in the house?
I'm expecting the call in a few seconds.
That's why I'm here. I'm going to take your picture.
Well, why don't you take it after I win?
I'll have a bigger smile on my face.
Well, no, I'd lose my job if I didn't get a shot of you on the phone.
You better answer it, Mr. Post.
That's $5,000.
Oh, yes, of course.
Hello?
Mr. Post, you have 60 seconds to answer our giant jackpot question.
For $5,000, in what ocean are the Cape Verde Islands?
Cape Verde Islands?
Cape Verde Islands.
The Cape Verde Islands?
Cape Verde Islands.
Just a minute.
Help! Roger, Carol, Katie, help!
Jogging. Where's the jogging people?
Hold on, hold on.
Jogging.
Wait, wait, I...
Jogging. Excuse me.
Jogging.
Jogging.
Jogging.
What's the matter? Huh? What's wrong?
What's the matter? Wilbur, what's happened?
Where are the Cape Verde Islands?
Cape Verde Islands.
Carol, Carol!
Wilbur, Wilbur, which book would have it?
It's in the geography book. Help me find the geography book.
Geography book.
Just a minute.
Geography book.
Don't stand there.
Here.
Go with it.
Mr. Post, you have just 20 seconds.
19, 18, 7...
Hurry!
I've got to get here somewhere.
14, 13, 12, 11...
Quiet!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6...
The Cape Verde Islands are...
in the Pacific Ocean?
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Post.
They're in the North Atlantic.
I was wrong.
They're in the North Atlantic.
It's just slightly off.
How far?
$5,000 worth.
Mr. Post, it's all about a big smile.
Wouldn't you rather have an honest picture of a man crying?
Thanks a lot.
Better luck next time.
Oh, Addison.
Don't you fret, my dear.
I'll take you on a trip real soon.
Where to, Big Daddy?
Cucamonga?
Why don't you kids come over for coffee in a few minutes?
I should be over my nervous breakdown by then.
Oh, never mind, honey.
We'll take a trip someday.
Yeah, but not to the Cape Verde Islands.
Why don't you give Kay a hand?
I'll be right here.
All right.
Ed, why did you turn your back on me?
It wasn't my fault.
I know you were looking forward to taking this trip,
but I couldn't get rid of the photographer.
And about that geography book,
what do you suppose could have happened to it?
Where is it?
Ed, why did you hide it?
We might have won.
I did it for Carl and Freda.
Carl and Freda? Who are they?
Well, that's a long story.
As I said, there comes a time in your life
when you have to make sacrifices.
This old couple, she hasn't seen her mother in 33 years.
I've just got to care about her.
Ed, here's a picture of the Schultzes accepting the $5,000.
They're cute.
You're not sore at me, are you, Wilbur?
Of course not.
It was a nice thing you did,
making it possible for Mrs. Schultz to bring her mother over.
I always was a softie.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you endorse
He's always on a steady course
Talk to Mr. Ed
Heeple yakity yak, he'll streak and waste your time a day

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course,
that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse, he'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course, talk to Mr. Red.
You don't have to do that.
I don't mind.
My mother always said if you don't keep a place clean, it gets to look like a stable.
Ed, I've got news for you.
Uh-uh.
Carol and I have decided to spend a few days up at Bill Parker's lodge in the mountains.
I need a change.
So do I. I'll pack a few things and meet you kids out front.
Ed, we're not leaving yet and we can't take you along anyway.
Now wait a minute, Wilbur.
You always tell me I'm one of the family, is that right?
Sure.
Then how come every time you take a trip, I suddenly become a horse again?
Stop talking like a baby.
Well.
Roger's gonna feed you and take care of you until we get back.
Big deal.
That old sourpuss hates me.
He does not.
Okay, so I hate him.
Please take me along, Wilbur.
I've never gone fishing.
Fishing?
Who ever heard of a horse fishing?
Well, if you're gonna bring that up, who ever heard of a horse talking?
Please take me along.
I'm a little tired of being cooped up in this old stable.
Where would you expect to live?
This is America, where even a horse can dream of living in the White House.
Pine Lake Lodge.
Oh, I bet the weather is beautiful there.
I'll get it, Martha.
Pine Lake Lodge, Bill Parker, proprietor speaking.
Wilbur Post.
How are you, Wilbur?
Great.
Thinking of coming up?
Fine.
The weather?
Couldn't be more beautiful.
Oh, and of course have your wife bring her bathing suit.
She'll need it.
Reservations?
Just a minute, Wilbur.
Martha, we got any empty rooms?
14 of them.
Yeah, we got four.
I mean, we can just squeeze you in.
We expect to be fine.
Just squeeze you in?
Yeah, just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
Just squeeze you in.
The weather couldn't be more beautiful.
Tell me, Mr. Parker, how do you make up things like that?
Martha, I'm a very truthful man.
And as soon as Mr. Post registers, I'll tell him the truth.
That I lied.
Oh, honey, I'm so glad I finally got you to go away for a weekend.
The rest will do you a world of good.
Come on, let's go.
Okay.
You want me to carry that with you?
Yeah.
Honey, I'd better go see if Mr. Ed's all right.
Hurry, Wilbur, or we'll get stuck in traffic.
Don't worry.
SPCA.
I want to report a neglected horse.
His owners are leaving him for the weekend in a cold, drafty stall.
Hear him coughing?
The name of the guilty party?
Well, it's...
Hey, what are you doing?
I'm calling the Bureau of Missing Horses.
Why?
The minute you go, I'm leaving this chicken outfit.
I tried to explain to you, we can't take you along.
You're taking your wife.
Well, that's different.
We're married.
You mean because I'm single, I'm staying home?
Hey, cheer up.
I told you the Addisons are going to look after you.
Now, you just read your books.
See you Monday.
Oh, uh, Wilbur.
Huh?
Drive carefully.
You're all I have.
Washy.
Oh, Martha.
Wilbur's gone.
Oh, Martha, Wilbur and Carol Post are checking in today.
Did you change the linen in room 12?
What for?
Nobody's used it for three years.
Hey, what's this about a town meeting here this morning?
Well, Ida Brenner's trying to raise some more money for the children's camp.
You better keep your Uncle Bill away.
He's probably still paying off the pledges from last year.
You're so right.
But don't worry.
I sent him off fishing an hour ago.
And by the time he gets back...
He is back.
Uncle Bill, you said you were going fishing.
That's right.
After the meeting.
But Uncle Bill...
Now, Annie, you haven't got a thing to worry about.
I won't open my mouth.
I'll just sit there quietly in the front row.
And why can't you just sit there quietly in the back row?
Because nobody can hear me from there.
Thank you.
Thank you for your contribution, Mr. Finnelly.
Well, some of you have donated very generously to our Pine Lake summer camp.
But we still need $350 if those children are going to have their tables and benches.
Now, won't somebody volunteer to donate just a small part of the money?
Please, friends.
How about someone who hasn't contributed yet?
How about starting it off with $25?
Will somebody please raise his hand?
Oh, come, neighbors.
Remember, this is a very worthy cause.
How about $15?
Please, friends, we have to have $350 for the tables and benches.
Oh, won't somebody help raise the fund?
I can't raise my hands, but I'll raise the money.
All of it.
Oh.
I knew we could depend on you, Bill Parker.
Yeah, I'll get all the furniture those children need.
You can depend on me, Ida.
Well, if you say so, Bill, that's good enough for me.
Meetings adjourned.
Well, you did it again, Big Daddy.
Now, look, Annie, I've got everything all figured out.
I'll do the work, and Dave Miller will donate the lumber.
It won't cost a cent.
And just what makes you so sure he'll donate the lumber?
Because I know Dave Miller, that man's got a heart of gold.
When he hears about those poor kids, he'll turn over his whole lumberyard to me.
Hello, Elsie, get me Dave Miller at the lumberyard.
You better fix up the room for the posts.
They'll be here at 3 o'clock.
Yes, Chief.
I'll be there.
That lumber's as good as in my workshop.
Hello, Dave.
Bill Parker.
Yeah, I'm fine, Dave.
Say, Dave, look, I just volunteered to build some furniture for the summer camp, and I
thought maybe you'd like to contribute it.
A few hundred bored feet of pine.
But Dave, it's for those poor kids.
Look, Dave, you were a kid once yourself.
The stingiest kid in town, and you haven't changed a bit.
Go.
Let's see.
40 kids.
That's about 1,200 feet of lumber.
50 cents a foot, that's $600.
Where am I going to get $600?
Hello, Bill.
Oh, hello, Milo.
Beautiful day, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, it sure is money.
I mean, Milo.
Here, sit down.
Let me dust off a plate for you.
Sit right down there.
Thank you, Bill.
Have any luck catch anything?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Like this.
Oh, by heaven, that's a beauty.
It's all yours.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, I insist, Milo.
I couldn't.
Milo, it's yours.
Thank you.
This is very generous of you, Bill.
Oh, generous.
Look who's calling me generous.
Milo, I'd say that you were about the most generous man in these parts.
Oh, no, you don't.
I heard all about you offering to give that summer camp all the benches and chairs.
You open your mouth, and now you're trying to put my foot in it.
Forget it.
You're right.
It's my problem, not yours.
Yeah.
I'll figure out a way to get that wood.
Don't worry.
I'll...
Milo.
Huh?
You know there's enough wood in one of those trees to furnish three summer camps?
Yeah, but you don't think that old skin-flin Thompson is gonna give it to you, do you?
Fat chance of that.
He...
But, Milo.
Huh?
Suppose by...
By some act of nature, one of those trees suddenly fell over.
And, uh, would that act of nature maybe be one man with a saw?
No.
Two men with a saw.
No, no, no.
One man with a saw.
Goodbye.
No, no, Milo.
Wait a minute.
No, no, no.
Sit down, Milo.
I'll think of something.
Pardon me, gentlemen.
I'm taking pictures for my bird watchers group.
Have you seen a speckle-coated sparrow around here?
Lady, can you handle a two-man saw?
I beg your pardon?
Then the bird went that way.
Oh.
Bill, you will never get anybody to help you.
Oh, don't be too sure.
Wilbur Post will be checking in in about an hour.
Oh, forget about it, Bill.
He will never help you chop down a tree that don't belong to you.
Milo, huh?
You know it don't belong to me, and I know it don't belong to me.
Now, this fish will keep his little trap shut.
Wilbur will never know, will he?
Oh, yeah.
Inkeeper!
Food and drink for the weary travelers.
Oh, hello, Bill.
So good to see you.
And Cindy, my, how you've grown.
Can I have a kiss?
Can I have a penny?
Cindy, little girls don't ask men for pennies.
That's right.
They grow up, marry them, and then take it all.
Wilbur!
Bill!
Carol!
Hello, Bill.
Well, it's about time you two got here.
We would have been here sooner, but we got stuck in the beautiful weather.
Oh, yeah, well, it's cleared up now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uncle Bill's got the whole weekend planned for you, Wilbur.
Yeah, you know the first thing you're going to do tomorrow morning?
Yeah, sleep until noon.
This is strictly a rest cure for me, Bill.
I'm going to plant myself in that old rocking chair and make sure I get a good night's sleep.
Plant yourself in that old rocking chair and let the fat grow.
Now, you've got a pretty good start on that garden right now.
Honey, will you get the bags from the car?
I'll help you, Wilbur.
Come on, I'll show you if you need anything.
Wonderful.
Oh, I say, while you're here.
Ah, there's nothing like this clean mountain air.
Yeah, that and a little exercise and you'll be all better again.
Better again?
Well, what's wrong with me now?
Oh, nothing.
For the shape you're in, you look fine.
For years now, I haven't had a pain or an ache since I've been doing my special exercise.
Special exercise?
Yeah, my secret to a long life.
As soon as I get you unpacked, I'll show it to you.
It's something that every man can do right in his own backyard.
Come on, boy.
Are you sure this is the secret to a long life?
Guaranteed.
Right.
I feel like 70 already.
Oh, you look fine, boy.
You've lost all that paleness.
You've got a nice red color.
Keep sorting, we're almost done.
I tell Carol about this.
Uh, you better not tell anyone.
I just remembered something.
What's that?
What we're doing.
It's a federal offense.
Well, as long as it shows up your muscles.
Federal offense?
Yes.
Timber!
Good work, Wilbur.
Now all we have to do is sort in sections.
What do you mean it's a federal offense?
Oh, that's only in case we get caught.
No, no, wait, wait.
Look, a Forrest Ranger truck.
Duck!
Secret to long life.
We better get going.
It's getting shorter every second.
No, no!
Hello?
Oh, yes, Ann.
Yeah, I'll take the call.
Hello?
Hello, Wilbur.
Ed!
Hey, Ed!
It's nice to hear your voice.
How do you feel?
I don't want to worry you,
but I've lost 50 or 60 pounds.
Ed, will you stop it?
I just talked to the Addisons on the phone yesterday,
and I happen to know you're being very well fed.
Well, that's a big lie.
They've been giving my food to their cat.
Hey, Addison's cat eats hay?
Doesn't everybody?
Look, Ed, we'll be home tomorrow,
so you behave yourself.
Can I watch the Late Late Show tonight?
You can stay up and watch the Late Late Show,
but please don't play that TV set too loud.
Goodbye, Wilbur.
Goodbye, Ed.
Poor Wilbur.
He's been sleeping all afternoon.
He really is tired.
Well, the rest is going to do him a lot of good.
Oh, that's exactly what I told you.
That's exactly what I told him today.
Take it easy.
I said, Wilbur,
the secret to long life is relaxation.
Just don't exercise.
That can kill you.
Where's Jerry?
Has he found the man who chopped down that tree?
Butterfingers.
Not yet, but when he called before, he was furious.
Boy, I'd hate to be the man who did it.
Yeah, me too.
Jerry said that Mr. Thompson,
he owns the property.
He's fit to be tied.
When he catches that criminal,
he's going to prosecute to the fullest extent.
Uh, how full can that be?
A thousand dollars fine and a year in jail.
It's pretty full.
Oh, hello, Milo.
Bill, Bill.
I just heard about what happened yesterday.
Only a lunatic would have cut that tree down.
Now, just a minute, Milo.
What makes you think I had anything to do with it?
Because yesterday you said you would,
and today the tree is down.
So, unless I walk in my sleep, you did it.
Milo, we live in a democracy
where every man is innocent until proven guilty.
And you're looking at the most innocent man
that ever cut down a tree.
Bill, I am ashamed of you.
Oh, stop looking at me like you were Joyce Kilmer.
What has she got to do with it?
When they catch you, they are going to throw you in jail.
And...
There comes Mr. Thompson.
Look, you've got a guilty look about you.
You're liable to give me away.
Go on, scat. Get yourself some coffee. Go ahead.
Well, hello, Mr. Thompson.
Beautiful day, huh?
Is it?
Ranger Moffat back yet? He's going to meet me here.
Well, Jerry should be back soon.
Why don't you pull up a chair on the porch
and make yourself comfortable, Mr. Thompson?
Come on. There we are.
Sit right down there. That's it.
Too bad about that tree yesterday.
Ain't the sort of thing that anybody around here would ever do.
No, sir. We're all tree lovers around here, you know.
As a matter of fact, the sight of a man with an axe
sets my blood to...
Would you like a cup of coffee, Mr. Thompson?
No.
I wish Moffat would get here.
I'm anxious to find out what he learned from that witness.
Well, he's probably... witness?
That's right.
Some woman staying at Snowflake Inn
claimed that she was hiking through the forest
and she saw these two men.
She did?
What's more, she says she can positively identify one of them.
Which one? The young one or the old one?
What's that?
I mean... well, these kind of crooks always work in pairs.
A young one and an old one.
It's a... the young one sort of learns the tricks of the trade
from the old one. It's a...
Learn what you learn.
Well, anyway, she said he was a young-looking man
with sandy-colored hair and a bright Hawaiian shirt.
I've never seen anybody like that around here.
Oh, no. No, I...
Well, now that you mention it, there was a coconut salesman
passed through here on his way to Honolulu.
Coconut salesman?
Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Thompson.
Oh, never mind that.
What did you find out from the woman?
Oh, we're in luck, Mr. Thompson.
She took a picture of the guys running away.
I rushed the film right over to Debbie's candle shop.
She's gonna phone me the minute it's developed.
Fine.
Mr. Thompson, Cherry,
I got something to tell you.
We better go inside.
Well, why?
Well, I got a feeling I'm gonna have to get used to being inside
for about a year.
Wilbur!
Wilbur?
Wilbur.
Wilbur, we're cooked.
What's going on, Bill?
Wilbur and me, we got a confession to make.
We cut down the old pine.
You did?
Yeah.
Don't believe him. He's delirious.
He must have been hit on the head when the tree fell.
It's no use, Wilbur.
I always believe in telling the truth.
Once you get caught,
someone's gonna snap the picture of us.
Mommy, Mommy, Uncle Bill's in trouble again.
Well, Moffat, what are you waiting for? Arrest them.
Hello.
Yes, Mr. Devery.
You did?
That picture will be all the proof I need.
Well, okay. Thanks.
I'm afraid you don't have any proof, Mr. Thompson.
The film was underexposed.
You mean it didn't come out?
Nope.
Well, we don't need that picture anyway.
We still have his confession.
You mean to say you believe that cock and bull story I told before?
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
Wilbur, we sure had him going for a while, didn't we?
I could hardly keep a straight face.
Ha ha!
You old son of a gun, you!
Wait a minute.
What's that?
A lion shirt.
Just like that woman said.
What have you got to say about that?
Aloha?
What's Cindy talking about?
What's the trouble?
It seems...
Come on, Moffat, let's not waste any more time.
Place those men under arrest and I'll prefer charges.
Here, phone the sheriff.
Jerry, don't you dare.
Now, just a minute.
I'll admit that I'm guilty, but Wilbur had nothing to do with it.
He just came up here for arrest.
Well, if I have my way, he's gonna have a nice long one.
Mr. Thompson...
Cutting down your tree was wrong,
but the motive behind it was right.
How do you figure that?
Well, you see, Bill was gonna use that lumber to build benches and chairs for the summer camp.
Forty kids will be coming up here, Mr. Thompson.
Youngsters who never had a chance in life.
This camp is one of the nicest things that could ever happen to them.
All Bill wants to do is make that possible.
That's the truth!
I know trees are expensive, but suppose we personally pay for it.
I can let you have $100.
And we're willing to chip in.
I got $87 laying in the bank as you're collecting dust.
You can take my piggy bank.
You can take my piggy bank.
If you needed lumber, why didn't you ask me for it?
Because everybody knows you're a greedy old skinflint.
I wish you'd put that to him a different way.
Well, it's true. He's never contributed one skinny dime to the camp.
I didn't even know about it.
If somebody had bothered to tell me, I might have considered making a donation.
Well, you've still got time, Mr. Thompson, and it's deductible.
Well, all right. You can have the tree.
Now who's a greedy old skinflint?
Mr. Thompson, I take back every nasty thing I ever said about you in the past.
And that includes anything I might say in the future.
You're all right, Mr. Thompson.
I had you pegged for a good jolt the minute I laid eyes on you.
Take your coconut-picking hands off me.
Mr. Parker. Yes, sir?
Don't let me ever catch you touching one of my trees.
No, no, sir. No, sir.
Well, Uncle Bill, I hope this has taught you a lesson.
Oh, it certainly has, Annie.
You don't ever have to worry about me again.
By golly, I think he means it.
I sure do.
Wilbur, what do you say? Let's you and me go fishing tomorrow, huh?
Okay, where?
I know a great spot over on Thompson's property.
Ed, I'm home!
Ed!
Beg your pardon, stranger.
Oh, Ed. Oh, I really missed you, old boy.
Yeah, then why didn't you write?
Telegram? Postcard?
Well, to tell you the truth, Ed, I got sort of involved.
A phone call, then.
It was a long distance.
Oh, what? I would have been glad to accept the charges.
People yakety yak a streak and waste your time a day.
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And this one will talk till his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this.
I am Mr. Ed.

Hello, I'm Mr. Red.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And no one can talk to a horse, of course, that is, of course,
Unless the horse is the famous Mr. Red.
Go right to the source and ask the horse.
He'll give you the answer that you endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Red.
Hi, Ed. Ready for a walk in the park?
What's the matter? Little orphan Annie in trouble again?
No.
Daddy Warbuck's in the hospital?
No.
Little dog got lost, huh?
No.
Ed, what are you crying about?
I ate some bad hay and I got a tummy ache.
Cut it out, you faker.
You just don't want to go out today.
No.
Come on, Ed. We're going to go for a little ride.
Well, all right.
Who am I riding?
I never saw a horse like you.
You've got four legs?
How about using them once in a while?
Look who's talking.
Drives around in a car all day.
I'll get it.
No, don't try to make up.
Hello?
Oh, hi, Rog.
Oh, hi, Rog.
Wilbert, will you be in your office for a while?
Good. I'll be right over.
There. What would you do without Mommy to help you?
I don't know.
Mommy.
Huh?
I hate to be a perfectionist, my dear,
but shouldn't the right boot be on the right foot?
Mommy will fix it.
I don't care what you say.
Ed.
We are going for a ride in the park.
But my trick knee is acting up again.
An old football injury.
Football injury?
Yeah. I was watching a game of baseball.
Football injury.
Yeah. I was watching a game on TV once and the set fell on my foot.
Ed, you're just lazy.
Yeah. The last time we went to the park,
you stood still so long the pigeons sat on your back.
Because they love me.
You look like a statue.
Hi, Wilbert.
Hello, Rog.
I'm going riding in the park. How about joining me?
As a matter of fact, I was just getting ready to...
Unsaddle Ed.
He's got a sore leg.
Oh, then you can rent one at the stable.
I'm going riding with Fred Gilbert. I'd like to have you meet him.
We've got a big real estate deal cooking and I think I can work you in.
Wow. That's wonderful.
Fred Gilbert.
Name sounds familiar.
Familiar. He's one of the richest men around.
Has his own nine-hole golf course.
A lot of men have that.
Inside the house.
He used to picture right on the society page.
Fred Gilbert, well-known real estate tycoon
with his beautiful black mare, Princess Helen.
Wow, what a horse.
That's the most beautiful mare I've ever seen.
Now, what is this deal you've got cooking with Gilbert?
It's a big, and I mean big, real estate development in Arizona.
The architect's fee should be considerable.
And you think you can get me the job?
Well, that depends.
Now, if Gilbert likes you, you're in.
That's why I want you to go riding with us.
Well, if that important, I can rent a horse.
On the other hand, maybe I will take Ed with me.
The exercise might help his knee.
Fine. I'll meet you on site in about five minutes.
Right.
Come on, Wilbur, let's go.
What made you change your mind?
Oh, that Princess Helen is really built.
Oh, you've got an eye for the ladies, huh?
What a figure.
68, 47, 68.
Make me look pretty, Wilbur.
Okay, Ed.
I'll, uh, I'll put a curl on your tail.
It's an excellent location for the type of building we have in mind.
Now, let me suggest that when we first...
Gentlemen, there you are, three hamburgers.
Just help yourself to ketchup and the hot mustard over there.
That'll be a dollar and a half.
I've got it.
No, let me.
Boys, I insist.
No, I've got it right here.
Good.
Fred.
Thank you.
Roger.
There you are.
Thanks.
Sit right over there.
Fine.
Now, as I was saying,
Boast, Roger tells me you're quite an architect.
Oh, I try to do my best.
Don't be modest, my boy.
Fred, this young fellow has designed some of the finest buildings in this town.
Right, Wilbur?
I don't like to boast.
Well, he did the Adamus Museum of Art.
He's a fine architect.
I'm sure he'll do a good job.
I don't like to boast.
Well, he did the Adamus Building,
the Kingsley Building,
and that 14-story Woodbury Building.
Fifteen.
Oh, that's another story.
Well, you've got a lot of money in this venture.
You strike me as a man who knows what he's doing.
Why don't you drop by my house?
I'm here.
I've got some ideas.
You'd better be getting back to the horses.
Come on.
Beat it, Mac.
Hi, Princess.
My name's Ed.
Saw your picture in the paper.
It doesn't do you justice.
You're gorgeous.
Where did you get those big brown eyes, honey?
Oh, sorry.
I forgot, baby.
You don't understand this lingo.
I'll put it to you this way.
Who's a masher?
Let's face it.
I'm in love.
Yes, this is Fred Gilbert.
Yes, what can I do for you?
Mr. Gilbert, I saw Princess's picture in the paper.
Yes, what can I do for you?
I saw Princess Helen in the park the other day.
So?
She's got the cutest legs in town.
I beg your pardon?
Would you put the phone near her?
I want to hear her neigh.
Is this some practical joker?
Believe me, Mr. Gilbert, my intentions are strictly honorable.
So you want to marry my horse?
Why not?
My father married one.
Are you sure the vet said there's nothing wrong with Ed?
He couldn't find anything.
Something must be bothering him.
He hasn't eaten since yesterday morning.
Here, I'll try to tempt him with these apples.
Here you are, Mr. Ed. Nice crisp apples.
Come on, Ed, you need your vitamins. You're a growing horse.
Look at his eyes. He looks dopey.
I'm kind of worried.
Poor Mr. Ed. He's been just moping around.
He's not eating, not sleeping. He's losing weight.
You know, honey, you were that way when you were courting me.
That's not true.
I never turned down an apple in my life.
All right, take a bite. It's delicious.
Well, I hope he's feeling better soon.
I'll start lunch.
You better get started on those sketches for Mr. Gilbert.
Yeah, okay, honey.
What's the matter, Ed?
Were you ever in love?
Oh, so that's it. You're in love.
Wow. Who's the lucky horse?
Princess Helen.
Oh, I'd sure like to make her my bride.
You're not serious?
Yep. I want a horse just like the horse that married dear old dad.
I wish I could help you, but what can I do?
Well, go to Mr. Gilbert and ask for his horse's hoof in marriage.
Oh, sure, sure. I can just see myself saying,
Mr. Gilbert, my horse is in love with your horse.
True, I know he's not working now, but I figure if you and I chip in a couple of bales of hay each week,
why, we can get those kids off to a good start.
And then they put me away.
Please take me along when you go to see Gilbert.
I can't. We're going to talk business.
But I gotta see my girl. I gotta. I just gotta.
Okay, okay, okay. We'll ride over there after lunch.
Oh, bless you, Wilbur.
Will you eat something?
Well, I'll force myself.
Hi, Princess Helen. I brought you a little gift.
While the men are out talking business, honey, how about a little smooch?
I drove downtown yesterday and looked at that 14-story building you designed.
15. But that's another story.
I told you to get a little smooch.
But that's another story.
I told you that joke yesterday.
Yeah, I know. I like it so much, I use it all the time now.
Oh, really? Well, thanks.
Helen, I love you.
I know you're thoroughbred and I'm from the wrong side of the tracks.
Gee.
I wish you'd stop eating when I'm proposing.
I forgot you don't talk.
Listen, honey.
What do you mean I'm a tram?
Come on, baby. I'll teach you to talk.
Repeat after me.
I love you, Eddie.
Come on. It's easy, baby.
I love you.
And the subterranean parking lot will hold 200 cars.
Oh!
Oh, come on, baby. It was just a little kiss.
What happened, princess?
What's wrong? Why aren't you in your stall?
I wish you hadn't brought your horse over here. He's evidently upsetter.
Meathead.
What did you say?
I didn't say anything.
I suppose your horse called me Meathead.
Well, no, but...
Why don't we go inside the house and discuss the sketches, Fred?
I don't care to talk about it now, Post.
Please take your horse and leave.
Come on, Ed.
Wilbur, why did you call him a Meathead?
Roger, I owe you an explanation.
You see, my horse has fallen in love with Gilbert's horse.
It was love at first sight. I didn't want to take him over there,
but the poor thing, he wasn't eating, he wasn't sleeping.
What could I do? He wants to marry Princess Helen.
You don't believe me, do you?
No. What worries me is that you believe you.
It's the truth. I mean, if you knew somebody who was just sick with love,
wouldn't you try to help him?
Wilbur, what happens to you when you get near that horse?
You see, I'm not a horse.
When you get near that horse, you seem to lose what little intelligence you ever had.
Take my advice. Sell that plug.
For once, old Addison was right.
I'm wrecking your whole life. Sell me.
Sell you? Ed, we're inseparable.
I'm willing to make the sacrifice. Sell me to Gilbert.
Oh, so you can be near Princess Helen, huh?
You said it.
Gilbert wouldn't buy you.
Then give me to him as a gift.
I must go where my heart is.
Oh, boy. Cupid really got you with that arrow, didn't he?
Arrow? The son of a gun used a harpoon.
You get over it. Look, I'm not going to sell you, and I'm not going to give you away.
Well, if you don't, I'll go on a hunger strike.
A hunger strike?
Yeah.
Well, I guess I have no choice.
Please, Wilbur. Please call him on the phone.
Okay, Ed. If you want it that way.
Oh, Ed, I'm sorry. I just can't do it.
Okay, then I'll dial.
Oh, this is a nice gesture, Wilbur, but you don't have to give me your horse.
I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.
But I want you to have Ed.
You see, we don't have much room around our place, and...
well, I know how you love horses.
Well, if that's the case, fine.
I'm going to go and get my horse.
I'll be back.
I love horses.
Well, if that's the case, fine.
My phone. I'll be right back.
Ed, this is it.
Well, you won't forget to write.
I'll phone you every night.
We'll probably run into each other in the park on Sundays.
Sure, good boy.
Bye, Ed.
This isn't goodbye, old friend. It's auf Wiedersehen.
Ed.
Don't move.
Let me remember you just like that.
All right, Phil. Yes, that's it. It's all settled.
No, it isn't the money. She just doesn't seem to be happy here.
Well, when does the ship sail, Phil?
Fine. Well, I'll bring Princess Helen down to the dock myself.
Oh, she ought to be in South America about next Friday.
You're sure you've got a good groom. I wouldn't want anything to happen to her during the trip.
I'll be right back.
Wilbur, how about your sandwich?
Wilbur, the sandwich.
Oh, sorry, honey.
Oh, honey, you didn't have to give Mr. Ed away just to protect that deal.
Money isn't that important to me.
Oh, that's life, I guess.
I guess I'll have to get back to work.
Oh, that's life, I guess.
You raise a kid, you feed him, you worry about him, you take care of him when he gets sick,
and then the first pretty face that comes along, he runs off and gets married.
Wilbur, are you all right?
I mean, maybe you need something to eat.
No, it's all right, honey, I'll grab some hay later.
What's wrong with him? He looks like he lost his best friend.
He has. He never should have given Ed to Mr. Gilbert.
Ah, but think of all the money your husband is going to make as a result of that wonderful gesture.
Oh, Roger, money isn't everything.
Woman, bite your tongue, you're hysterical.
I miss you, Ed.
I miss you, too.
How could I let you go?
I'll never forgive myself.
It wasn't your fault, buddy boy.
Ah, yes, it was. And stop interrupting.
We're together, so...
You really miss me, huh?
I told you, didn't I?
Ed, you're home, you're back.
Helen and I are no longer an item.
What happened?
Gilbert sold her to some guy in South America, so I took a powder.
You mean Mr. Gilbert doesn't know you're here?
I guess I lost you that deal again.
Oh, that doesn't matter, Ed. I'd rather have you.
That goes for me, too.
Gilbert.
Yeah?
We're just a pair of sentimental old slobs.
Get my nose.
What are you going to tell old Vinegar Poulos Addison?
Oh, who cares about him?
If he dares to open his mouth, I'll...
Hello, Wilbur.
That's Roger now. I'd better go out and soften him up.
You tell him, killer.
Wilbur, can we step into your office? There's something I'd like to discuss with you.
Yeah, well, why don't we go inside the house? There's more room.
No, no, no, no. Carol is a little disturbed with me.
Oh, well, let's go to your house.
No, my wife's a little disturbed with you. We'd better leave the office.
Yeah, but, but, Roger...
There's something I want to discuss with you.
Wilbur, in spite of the way Carol feels, I think you did enough...
What is that horse doing here?
What horse?
Mr. Ed. How did he get here?
Well, Ed and the princes are...
They are no longer an item.
His girlfriend left suddenly for South America.
Really? Why am I talking to you when you're near that horse?
Come outside where you're a little more normal.
Now that maybe we can talk...
Wilbur!
Mr. Gilbert wants to see you.
I've got some bad news for you. Your horse ran away.
I was talking on the phone when suddenly he bolted and took off. I have no idea...
Wilbur!
Well, he, uh, he came back by himself.
He's still your horse, Fred.
No. No. I don't like to be an Indian giver, Fred, but I, I'd like my horse back.
If this means I lose the deal, oh well, okay.
And I feel the same way.
Don't listen to him, Fred. When he gets near this barn, he, he, he, he, he's a screwball.
Please, Roger.
Now, now, just relax, Roger.
Any man who cares enough about his horse to jeopardize a big deal is my kind of man.
You mean we're still in business?
You bet. Beautiful the way this boy feels about that horse.
He's a man's best friend. Next to his wife.
Why don't we all go in and have some coffee?
Oh, thank you. You know, your husband is quite an architect.
I just love that new building, that 14-story building he designed downtown.
Fifteen.
Well, I guess that's another story.
Very funny.
How about that coffee?
Coffee, yeah, coffee, Roger.
Ah, 68, 47, 68.
That's a lot of horse to lose.
Ed, what's the matter?
I'm in love.
Oh, no.
Ed, you've just got to forget about Princess Helen.
Princess Helen? Who's she?
Don't tell me you've fallen in love again since yesterday.
This magazine just came today.
Flash Away. She's a pretty horse.
Yeah, she makes Princess Helen look like a boy.
Let's not start again.
How about arranging a date for me, huh?
Sorry. Love is not for horses.
It's for the birds.
Got a date a little later
When the moon is on the trail
With the cutest triple gator
My pretty little filly with a pony tail
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And no one can talk to a horse, of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. A
Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you endorse
He's always on a steady course
Talk to Mr. A
Keep your yakety yak to speak
And waste your time a day
But Mr. A will never speak
Unless he has something to say
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And this one will talk to his voice, his horse
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this
I am Mr. A
