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.
