- Oh, hi, Pop.

- Oh, hi, Rick.

Where are you going?

- Down to the drugstore.

- Oh, while you're
down there, will you

buy a bottle of Listerine?

Your mother always likes
to have an extra bottle

on hand, especially during
this time of the year

when there are a lot
of colds going around.

- OK.
I'll see you later, Pop.

- So long, Rick.

[music playing]

- Listerine, the most widely
used antiseptic in the world,

and Antizyme, the first
all-day anti-enzyme toothpaste,

present "The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet,"

starring the entire
Nelson family.

Here is Ozzie, who plays
the part of Ozzie Nelson.

And of course, his lovely wife
Harriet, as Harriet Nelson.

The older of the Nelson boys,
David, appears as David Nelson.

And his younger brother,
the irrepressible Ricky,

played by Ricky Nelson.

The Nelson's next-door
neighbor, Thorny,

is played by Don DeFore.

- And so you see, in the
wild jungles of Africa,

just as in our modern,
urban civilization,

it is the female of the species
that actually runs the show,

so to speak.

Of course, we're far
too clever to let

the poor male realize this.

[laughter]

[applause]

I see that my time's about up.

In conclusion, I'd like to
say that what I have done

can be done by any of you ladies
who have the desire to step

out and assert yourselves.

Why should you be tied down
to the drudgery of housework

when all sorts of
glamorous careers

are just waiting for you?

This is the age of
feminine opportunity.

Cast off the shackles
that bind you.

Don't let life pass you by.

Thank you for your
kind attention.

[applause]

[chatter]

[music playing]

- I really think that was the
most interesting lecture I ever

attended.

Didn't you think she
was a wonderful speaker?

- Oh, yeah.

What's her name again?

- Betty Van Buskirk.

I thought she was
very interesting.

- Yeah, she's a very attractive
woman, nice personality.

- You know, the
woman's club ought

to have more speakers like that.

You noticed what a
wonderful turnout we had.

- Yeah, it was
very well attended.

- You don't sound very enthused.

- Well, I told you I
thought she was attractive.

I just don't happen to agree
with some of her theories,

that's all.

- Well, she's been to
just about every country

on the face of the Earth.

- Well, what's that
got to do with it?

Look, I'll admit that
by looking at it,

you'd never dream she was a big
game hunter or an expert flyer

or any of that stuff.

- Well, she's just an
average woman, dear.

That was the whole
point of the lecture.

Any woman can
accomplish big things.

It's just that so
few of us ever try it

that when you meet a woman
who's made a career for herself,

you just naturally think
she's something special.

- Well, OK.

I just don't think she
should go around putting

crazy ideas into the
heads of average women.

That is, I mean,
successful housewives.

- Oh, that's it, go right
ahead and make a nice,

old-fashioned speech about
the woman's place being

in the home.
- [chuckles] Now, wait a minute.

You know darn well there's
nothing old-fashioned about me.

I just happen to
think that women

are divided into two
classifications: career

women and those who are born
with the husband instinct.

- Science has proved there's
no such thing as the husband

instinct.

- Well, science has
never been on a hayride.

[laughs]

- Are you coming
upstairs, or are you

going to spend
the night laughing

at yourself in the mirror?

[music playing]

Ozzie.

- Yes, dear?

- Are you asleep?

- No, not quite.

- I'm sorry you didn't
like the lecture.

I realize you weren't
much impressed with her,

but honestly, Betty Van Buskirk
is considered one of the--

- Harriet, please, I didn't
say I didn't like her.

I just said I didn't
agree with her theories.

As far as she's
concerned personally,

I think she's very attractive.

Don't you think she's
an attractive woman?

- Oh, yes.

I did think she had
rather large feet, though.

Although, I expect
she can't help that.

Poor thing, she spent so much
time standing on her feet,

lecturing.

- I suppose.

- And didn't you
notice that her--

Oh, but I suppose, traveling
through those mountainous

countries as she does, she has
to ride horseback a great deal.

But aside from her appearance,
which I grant you is--

- Uh, Harriet, look, we attended
a very interesting lecture

tonight by a very
attractive woman

with some ridiculous ideas
on careers for women.

And I'm sorry, dear,
but I'm awfully sleepy.

- Well, I just want to
ask you one question.

- Is it about Betty Van Buskirk?

- Yes.

- Good night, dear.

- Now, now, now,
wait a minute, Ozzie.

This is really important.

Tell me the truth.

Do you think life
is passing me by?

- No, but I think sleep
is passing us both by.

- OK.
[music playing]

Good night, dear.

- Aren't you kind of
quiet this morning?

- Oh, I've just been thinking.

If a woman like Betty Van
Buskirk can have a career,

I don't see why
I can't have one.

- [chuckles] Betty
Van Buskirk...

You have a career, the most
important one in the world:

making a home.

- I know.

But sometimes I feel
sort of useless.

I wish I actually
were doing something,

I mean something important.

- Hey, Mom!

- Yes, Dave?

- I can't find my new jacket!

- It's on the green
chair in the living room!

- If I had something
to do that would

make an actual contribution
to people's lives--

- Hey, Mom, I can't
find my books anyplace.

- Oh, you left
them in the kitchen

last night when you were
swiping the cookies.

- Oh, yeah.

Hey, how'd you know?

- I'm psychic.

Don't take any more cookies.

You just finished
your breakfast.

- I just want a couple, Mom.

- I just don't seem to be
doing anything important.

- Oh, Harriet, you're making
a home, raising a family.

That's the most important
thing a woman can do.

- Oh, I know I couldn't be
an author or an explorer

like Betty Van Buskirk.

- [chuckles] Betty Van Buskirk--

- But I might find a place
in the business world.

- Harriet, please, you're
doing fine right here at home.

Getting in the
business world calls

for years of special experience
and training for details.

- I suppose so.

- Well, I guess I better
be getting downtown.

- Oh, I asked Ricky to
bring the car around front.

I thought you might
be in a hurry.

Besides, he likes to do it.

- Oh, well, thanks a lot.

Say, wasn't there
something I was supposed

to take downtown with me today?

- Yes, you said you were going
to drop off those insurance

papers at George
Dillon's office.

- Oh, oh, yeah, thanks.

- This morning, for sure.

- OK.

See, that's what I meant about
the business mind trained

for details and efficiency.

I hate to sound like I'm blowing
my own horn, but you see,

I kept it way back in-- in
my subconscious that I had

something important to
do, as the, uh, papers--

oh, uh, uh, where
are the papers?

- They're on the coffee
table in the living room.

- Oh--

- Something the matter?

- [chuckles] I could have
sworn I had my car keys

in-- in my left hand pocket.

- Oh, Ricky brought
the car around.

Don't you remember?
I told you.

- Oh, oh, oh-- uh, yeah, uh.

See, uh, that's what I mean.

See, I-- I remembered
from last night,

uh, putting my car keys in my--
it's just a question of, uh,

disciplining the
mi-- well, bye, dear.

Hey, get that look off
your face, will you?

[chuckles] One businessman
is enough in every family.

- All right.

[music playing]

Drive carefully.

- Bye, dear.

[starts engine]

- Mom, can I have
some lunch money?

- Oh, yes, dear.

My bag's right here
on the coffee table.

Help yourself.

- There's a dollar in here.

Can I have that?

- Bring back some change.

- I don't know why
you need to buy lunch

with all those cookies
you have in your pocket.

- Oh, yeah, you're
such a wise guy.

You forgot your homework.

- What do you mean,
I forgot my homework?

- It's right here on the table.

- Are you crazy?

- Isn't this your homework?

- Of course not.

- Here, let me see that.

Oh, for goodness
sakes, your father

went downtown and forgot to
take the insurance papers.

- Think I can catch him?

- No, that's all right, dear.
I'm going downtown.

I'll drop them off at the
insurance office myself.

[music playing]

- Yes.

Yes, I'll be sure to tell.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

[door chime]

Oh, hello, Mrs. Nelson.

- Hello, Grace.

My husband been
here this morning?

- No, not yet.
- Oh.

Is Mr. Dillon in?

- Yes, but he's busy right now.

Do you mind waiting
a couple of minutes?

- No, not at all.

I have some papers
here he has to sign.

- Oh, you mean Mr.
Nelson's policy.

- Yes.

He left the house this
morning without them,

so I thought I'd
better bring them down.

- [chuckles] Aren't
men forgetful?

Well, won't you sit down?

- Yes, thanks.

I guess I will.

- Say, Mrs. Nelson--
- Uh-huh?

- I wonder if you'd
do me a favor.

- Well, sure, if I can.

- Well, I was late this
morning, and I didn't even

have time for a cup of coffee.

Would you mind sitting
here at the desk

while I run down
to the drugstore?

- Oh, no.
I'll be glad to.

- Oh, good.
I'll just be a minute.

- Oh, that's all right.
Have two cups.

- Oh, thanks a million.
- [laughs]

- I'll be right back.
- Take your time.

[music playing]

- How do you do?

- Oh, hello, dear.

- Oh, Harriet--

Oh, now, Harriet,
this is ridiculous.

- What's ridiculous?

- Well, this whole idea.

Just because some
ridiculous woman

gives a ridiculous lecture
about careers for women,

does that mean you
have to come down here

and get a job for yourself?

- A job?

Oh-- well, I thought it might
be fun for just a little while.

- Why didn't you at least say
something to me at breakfast

this morning?

- Well, I really just decided
myself a little while ago.

- What are you going to
do about your family?

- Oh, the boys are
pretty grown up now.

They're pretty self-reliant.

I think they can take
care of themselves.

- Well, what about me?

- Well, I must admit, I
really haven't decided who

will take care of you, dear.

- Harriet, now, listen, you're
not going to be a receptionist.

- Well, why not?

- Well, in the first
place, you're not the type.

- Oh, I suppose
Betty Van Buskirk is.

- Oh, let's leave Vetty Ban B--

- Ozzie-- [laughs]

- Now, who's excited?

[stammering] Pick up the phone,
and tell Mr. Dillon you've

decided to change your mind.

You're not going
to keep the job.

- Shall I tell Mr.
Dillon you're here?

- I don't want to
speak to Mr. Dillon

personally, if
that's what you mean.

I'm not going to
have anything more

to do with a man who will
offer a job to one of my wives.

[stammering] To a wife of mine.

- Yes, sir.

I'll give him your message.

- Now, look, Harriet, you
have two growing boys at home.

[music playing]

--Two boys who need a
mother's love and affection.

What are we going to tell them?

When I go home a
little later, what

am I going to say
to little Ricky

when he looks up at me
with his big blue eyes

and he says, "Dad, where's Mom?"

- Tell him I'll be home at 5:30.

- OK, you suit yourself.

When you're thinking about
careers, just remember this.

Sitting here at a
typewriter all day

has the same effect
as riding horseback.

- [laughs]

[music playing]

- Hi, Oz.

- Oh, hi, Thorny.

- My goodness, what a long
face we have this afternoon.

What happened?

Didn't you get
your own way again?

- I guess you might
put it that way.

Harriet's gone out and
gotten herself a job.

- No kidding.

When did this happen?

- Well, see, last
night, she and I

attended this lecture
over at the woman's club.

And there was this high-powered
dame giving a talk over there.

- Well, you mean
Betty Van Buskirk?

- Well, yeah.

How'd you know her name?

- Well, I read about her.

I saw her picture in the paper.

A very attractive woman.

- Well, yes, in an
overpowering sort of way.

But anyway, a little later
on after we got home,

I made the mistake of passing
a few complimentary remarks

about this Van Buskirk woman.

So today, I go down to
Dillon's insurance office,

and there sits Harriet as big
as life, the receptionist!

She's taken a job down there.

- Well, I think
that's wonderful, Oz.

- Well, what's so
wonderful about it?

- Well, you don't think a
girl with Harriet's ability

is going to remain in that
job very long, do you?

This is only the beginning.

Why, in no time at all, she'll
climb right up the ladder--

salesman, sales manager, vice
president, president, chairman

of the board.

Well, Oz, she'll be
famous in no time at all.

- Are you kidding, Thorny?

- Of course not.

Everybody will point at her
and say, "There she goes,

the lady captain of industry,
Mrs. Harriet Nelson."

- Well, that's great.

What about me?

- Are you kidding?

You'll be famous, too.

Well, they'll all
point at you and say,

"There he goes, Mr.
Harriet Nelson."

[laughs] Oh, it sure
sounds exciting, Oz.

After she's rich, you'll
move into a big home

and have your own
personal valet.

- I wouldn't have
a personal valet.

- Wear satin pajamas.

- I wouldn't wear satin pajamas.

- Sleep in bed till
11:00 in the morning.

- Well, OK, but I'm not
going to wear satin pajamas.

- [laughs]

[music playing]

- "Vice president,
president, chairman

of the board, Mrs.
Harriet Nelson.

They'll point at you
and say, there he goes,

Mr. Harriet Nelson."

[gunshots]

- Thank you very much
for your kind attention.

[applause]

- You're so wonderful.

I just love you.

[chatter]

[applause]

[roars]

[gunshot]

- Is that you, Harriet?

- Yes, it is.

- How are you, dear?

Here, let me take your coat.

Why don't you sit down over
here in this nice, easy chair

and relax.

There we are.

Dinner will be ready
in just a moment.

- Dinner?
Oh, how nice.

- Let me get your
slippers, dear.

Here we are.

Did you have a hard day
at the office, dear?

- Oh, just so-so.

- Oh-- here, this should
be nice and comfy.

Your paper, turned
to the sports page.

Oh and--

- Uh, no, thank you.

- Oh-- [chuckles] I'm just
putting it out of the way.

Oh-- I hope you won't be too
unhappy about dinner, dear.

I tried to whip up
a few little things.

- Oh, I understand.

You must have had a busy day.

- Well, you know how it
is, a lot of little things,

busy all day, never
seem to finish.

- Yeah, you must be tired.

- Don't worry about me, dear.

As the old saying goes, "We
all have to go sometime."

Just forget about me.

- All right.

- Oh, come now, dear.

You can fight harder than that.

- I guess, I don't
want to fight too hard.

For the first time, I feel
that I'm doing something

constructive and interesting.

As Betty Van Buskirk says--

[doorbell]

- Oh-- [stammering]
Keep talking, dear.

I'll get it as soon
as I get my apron off.

It's all right.
I'll get it.

I'm practically there.

- Good evening.

- Hello.

- Does Mrs. Harriet
Nelson live here?

- Yes.
I'm Mrs. Nelson.

- Oh, how do you
do, Mrs. Nelson?

I was asked to bring
this book over to you.

It's Betty Van Buskirk's
"Advice to Career Women."

- Oh, well, thank you, Mr., uh--

- Van Buskirk.

- Oh, Betty Van Buskirk?

- No, uh, Bertie Van Buskirk.

Uh, Betty is my wife, or
rather, uh, I'm Betty's husband.

- Well, won't you come in?

- Oh, thank you.

- My, this looks like a
very interesting book.

- Well, thank you.

It's meant as a
souvenir remembrance

to your woman's club
for the wonderful way

you received Betty's lecture.

- Oh.

Oh, this is my
husband, Mr. Nelson.

- How do you do,
Mr. Van Buskirk?

- How do you do?

It's so nice of your
wife to ask me in.

- Oh, it's our pleasure.

- My, my, you do have
a lovely home here.

- Oh, thank you.

Won't you come over
here and sit down.

Sit right down here.

This is my favorite chair.

- Oh, thank you.

- [sighs] My, this
is delightful.

- Oh, thank you, very much.

- Oh, I envy you, Mr. Nelson,
having this beautiful wife

devoted to making a home
and raising a family,

filling your happy little nest
with her loveliness and charm.

- Well, thank you.

You're very flattering.

- Yes, indeed.

Being a successful
wife and mother

is a big job, Mr. Van
Buskirk, an important job.

But tell us a little
about your life.

Very exciting, I imagine.

- Oh, yes, it must be wonderful
to be married to a woman as

famous as Betty Van Buskirk.

- Uh, yes, I suppose.

- So intelligent, so
charming, so well-informed,

I imagine she can talk for
hours on just about any subject.

- Uh, yes, she can
for hours and hours.

- But don't tell me it isn't
a great thrill being married

to a famous career woman.

- I'll tell you what
it's like, Mr. Nelson.

Did you ever see one of
those big streamliner trains

go by 90 miles an hour?

Woosh!

And the way the Earth
quivers and the trees

tremble and sway--

- Yes?

- I feel like a leaf
on one of those trees.

- Tell me, Mr. Van
Buskirk, while your wife

is writing these
books and delivering

lectures, what do you do?

- Oh, I'm a busy little bee.

I have to see that the
laundry is sent out

and do the shopping and, oh,
well, so many little things.

You see, before I
married Elizabeth,

I promised her father that
I would take care of her.

I said, Mr. Van Buskirk--

- Uh, wait a minute.

Was her father's
name Van Buskirk?

- Oh, yes.

- Well, then how
come your name is--

- Oh, she made me change
it when we got married.

Oh, well, I better be going.

I haven't even done the
luncheon dishes yet.

- Thank you, so much, for
stopping by and bringing us

the book.

- Yes, thanks a lot.

- Well, thank you both.

You've been very kind.

- Oh, the pleasure
has been all ours.

I do hope you'll stop by and
see us again some evening if you

get a chance.

- Well, I'd certainly
like to do that.

Good night, folks.
- Good night.

- Good night, Mr. Van Buskirk.

Poor man.

Well, Harriet, you
see what happens

to the husband of
a career woman.

Harriet?

- Yes, dear?

- Don't you have
anything to say to me?

- No.

- Nothing to talk about?

- No.

Just looking at this
book he brought over.

- But didn't he make you
think you ought to give up

having a business career?

I mean, after seeing him,
couldn't you visualize

the horrible fate that--

Harriet?

- Yes, dear?

- Are you listening to me?

- No, I'm not.

Listen to this.

"About the author,
the philosophy

of our eminent author is
perhaps best illustrated

by a recent statement of hers.

'I, Betty Van Buskirk,
have never been

and never will be married.

From earliest childhood, I was
determined not to allow myself

to be subordinated
to any mere man.'"

- Oh, well, she probably just
put that there for effect.

- Ozzie, how much
did you pay him?

- Well, I never heard
such an accusation.

It's ridiculous.

- How much did you
pay the man to make

believe he was her husband.

- $15.

And furthermore, he gave
a miserable performance.

- [laughs]

- Well, what gets me is why
did you go to all that trouble?

- Well, I had to find some way
to make you give up the job.

- Do you really want me to?

- Well, of course I do, Harriet.

Don't you see how important
you are to the boys and me

right here at home?

- Well, I'll tell you something.

I don't have a job at the
insurance company or any place

else.

The receptionist asked
me to sit-in for her

while she went downstairs
for a cup of coffee.

- And you let me
dangle all this while?

- Well, I guess it
was selfish of me.

I just wanted some
reassurance that I was still

important to you and the boys.

- [chuckles] Well, you sure went
to enough trouble to find out.

- Oh, it was no trouble.

You assumed I was working, and
I just didn't bother to deny it.

- Now, how about me?

I went out and hired that
guy to play Mr. Van Buskirk.

- I'm glad you did that.

You know, some of those
things he said to me

were pretty flattering.

- Well, sure they were.

They were sincere, too.

- Do you really think so?

- Think so?

I know so.

Who do you think told him what
to say in the first place?

[music playing]

[music playing]

I guess my watch has stopped.

Uh, what time is it?

- Uh, quarter of 11:00.

- Oh, [chuckles] it's a fine
time to be finishing dinner.

- Oh, that's OK.

It was kind of fun for a change.

- It's awful good.

The roast beef was wonderful.

- Well, after all, you
deserve the credit.

You were the one who bought
it and prepared it and did

all the preliminary work.

- No-- [chuckles] no, I don't
know how I could have made

a mistake like that.

- Oh, don't be silly.

Anybody's liable to forget
to turn on the oven.

- [laughs]

[music playing]

- Right now,
Listerine antiseptic

is featured in the family
medicine chest time

display in your favorite store.

Look for Listerine
in the display.

Listerine antiseptic,
kills germs by millions.

- Next week, "The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet,"

starring the entire
Nelson family--

- Ozzie.
- Harriet.

- David.

- And Ricky.

- --will be brought
to you by Hotpoint.

- And remember, Hotpoint
changes your viewpoint--

[chimes]

- Automatically.

[music playing]

- The part of Grace was
played by Barbara Eiler.

Mr. Van Buskirk
was Grady Sutton.

And Mrs. Van Buskirk was
played by Joyce Holden.

This is Verne Smith speaking.
