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.
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
So 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 till his voice is hoarse
|
|
You never heard of a talking horse?
|
|
Well listen to this
|
|
I am Mr. Ed
