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.
|
|
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.
