Benson ( citcom)

0:00Hey, this is Strawberry. How y'all doing out there today? I know some of us miss some of those old sitcoms that we used to sit down and watch, maybe run the home from school and watch sit and relax and watch without any chaos. So how do y'all feel about Benson? Alright y'all, let's just listen to that episode because it might be something that you might want to hear or learn something from. Oh, look, here comes my hand. It isn't said amazing. Look at all those fingers. I always must put a generic.

1:06What was that? That's a little chair open. Yeah, it's crooked. This one is like that. Well, it was all this like that. I tried to straighten it, but it wouldn't budge. Let me try. Hold on. I knew you couldn't do it. Good work. Benson, now your books are fireplace. It was a secret component. What? What's that? It's an old letter. Address to somebody named Dolly. Why aren't you going to open it? I don't know if the governor opened it. Why? He's got a letter up there. Look at that. The governor is seeing you. Seeing those days, the governor wore a big ring and he just pressed it down on the wax to make him see you. I wish I'd gotten one of those together. Governor, we're all very anxious to find out what's inside. I should think so. Oh, here we go. Boy, this is exciting.

2:06Well, it's Dolly all right. Everybody ready? My darling Dolly, would I mind express these words in person, but I know you are off-ranging again. How I envy your horse. Never thought I could be jealous of a gilding. That's a gilding. A gilding is a horse that isn't all that. Oh, crazy, huh? My dear one, the times grow precarious. I stand accused of theft, embezzlement, and vote buying. Should the people see through my denials, I shall be forced to take flight. In that eventuality, remember the riddle I talk to you. The solution will lead you to $10,000 in gold I have secreted here in the mansion. $10,000 hot damn! Is that true?

3:06I remain your ardent swain Iki. Iki? Slutter must have been written by Governor Iki about brain. Get that book on history of the state. Up, there's a post script. Tell that young stable boy, Philippe, that my best horse must be ready to ride on a moment's notice. Here it is. Governor Iki about brain held office from 1840 to 1840. Yes, I'm afraid he had to leave office rather suddenly. And, thankfully, he was tired and feathered and hung by the negligent alarmist. Just like me and my ex-wife, Janine, the man always gets it in the neck and the wife ends up with a lute. But I could only have ended up with all the lute if she never got the letter. The seal was unbroken, remember? I never thought of that. I know this is difficult for you, Peter, but try to keep up. And the gold is still here. Forget it. That was over a hundred years ago. The mansion's been rebuilt three times. Somebody must have found that gold long, long time ago. Nobody found some letter? Right. And the possibility remains that the gold is still here.

4:08You're wasting your time. You're not going to find any gold. For the last hundred and forty years, nobody's living his horse with politicians. I'm surprised we still haven't got the silverware. This ugly thing doing here. At the moment, she's looking at a candy dish. Perhaps I need your help up here. I need a photograph of these things on the map. All this far is for me. Even a simple job like this, and you can't do it without me. Perhaps please get on the picture. This is not my camera. I don't want to bring it. Let me answer. Oh, look, here comes my hand. It isn't said of me. He's been looking at all of those fingers. I always must. I'll get you a neck. What was that? That's a little chair over there. Yeah, it's crooked. That's what it's like there. Well, if it's all of this, like I said, I tried to straighten it, but it wouldn't budge. Let me try. Hold it. I knew you couldn't do it.

5:11Good work. And so now your blocks are fireplace. It was a secret component. What? What's that? It's an old letter. I'm dressed to somebody named Dolly. Why? Aren't you going to open it? I don't know what the governor wrote me. Why? He's got a letter. Look at that. The governor's here. Seeing those days, the governor wore a big ring. He just pressed it down on the wax to make his seal. I wish I hadn't gotten one of those. Governor, we're all very anxious to find out what's inside. You don't want to think so. Oh, here we go. Boy, this is exciting. Well, it's for Dolly, all right. Brilliant. Is everybody ready? Yes! My darling Dolly, would I mind express these words in person? But I know you are off-riding again.

6:11How I envy your horse. Never thought I could be jealous of a gelbie. That's a gelbie. A gelbie is a horse that isn't all day. Oh, crazy, huh? No, it's not decreasing. I do want the time's grow precarious. I stand accused of theft, embezzlement, and vote buying. Should the people see through my denials, I shall be forced to take flight. In that eventuality, remember the riddle I talk to you. The solution will lead you to ten thousand dollars in gold I have secreted here in the mansion. Ten thousand dollars hot damn! I can't get ready that cross. Is that true? I remain your ardent swaying icky. Eicky? Slutter must have been written by God for icky about brain. Get that book on history in the state. Up there's a post script. Tell that young stable boy, Philippe, that my best horse must be ready to ride on a moment's notice. Here he is.

7:11Governor Iggabod Brune held office from 1840 to 1840. Yes, I'm afraid he had to leave office rather suddenly. And, thankfully, he was tired and feathered. And hung by the negligent alarmist. Just like me and my ex-wife Jeanine, the man always gets it in the neck and the wife ends up with a lute. But I could only have ended up with all the lute if she never got the letter. The seal was unbroken, remember? I never thought of that. I know this is difficult for you, Peter, but try to keep up. I mean, the gold is still here. I've had it that was over a hundred years ago. And mansions been rebuilt three times. Somebody must have found that gold long, long time ago. Nobody found some letter? Right. And the possibility remains that the gold is still here. You're wasting your time. You're not going to find any gold. For the last 140 years, nobody's living as horse but politicians. I'm surprised we still haven't got the silverware. I know what I do find that gold.

8:11What, honey? I go to McDonald's by a billion burgers and watch and change the number. I'm sorry. You know what? I do find a $10,000. I go off on a long, long boat trip. Would you buy Vincent? Long, long torpedo. What are you going to buy, my see? She isn't going to buy anything, Katie, because there's no gold in this house. And I'd appreciate it if you always stopped talking about it, so I can get some work then. Would you do a dress yourself this morning? Where have you been? I'm hiding in the basement. What are you doing in the basement? Hey, look around. Hello? Hey, don't worry, I didn't find anything. Do you think the gold's hidden in the basement? I'm not anymore. I don't, but I'm not giving up. I've got to find some way to people like the horse. If I should find it, don't tell Jeanine into after the settlement. I'm going to go try the attic. Peter, sleeping in the car again. Good afternoon, Vincent.

9:12What are you after, Glit? I had just had a most fascinating conversation with my broker. It seems the governor brings $10,000 in gold. Would be worth at today's prices. Are you ready? $437,500. I'll go quick, and I just got this map quieted down. Now, those figures are fact. Now, let us enter the realm of speculation. In 1840, most of our gold was in the form of coins. In 1970, there was a single gold coin that sold for $23,000. At that rate, Governor Brune's little nested would be worth conservatively $5 million. You know what this means. Yeah, it means I could buy the world a coke. Fly from the million tops. Peter, where's to be at?

10:12Now that the children are gone, I think we all have work to do. I certainly do have a huge stack of mail on my desk. Your desk, is that way? I don't care. See you later. Where are you going? We've got 20 people coming in for dinner tomorrow night. So I'll check them out. I know things in the chances of finding it are very slim, but there might be $5 million in gold hidden somewhere in the mansion. Think about it. Ciao. Oh, no. Oh, no, that's it. They're mine, Pete.

11:13Becca's that way. Oh, no. We're looking for a contact lens. Oh, yeah, I didn't have any more contact lenses. Oh, I do when I can find them. I'll search for it later. Hey, yeah. Oh, it's a painting. What the? This painting. Oh, yeah. You don't have anything about that hole. Oh, yeah, that was an accident. Just, I happened to tap on a wall and I heard this hollow sound. So, uh, trapped again in the wall crumbled. You do that with your finger? No, with this. Crows, where are you going on the bushes? Fuck, did you hear that? I'm doing you an idiot. I'm lying in there. I'll stay there. I'll get the guy that'll kill you. Come on, let's get in here. You have to do this, Crows. Pete, I was just walking along. And I typed. Oh, what? It's a chimney. It's a chimney.

12:13What in the world were you doing on the roof, woman? I know what she was doing. She was looking at me. On the roof, woman? I know what she was doing. She was looking for gold. On the roof? I was acting on a hunch. You see, in the old days, when the Hessians attacked my great grandparents, kids were valuables on the roof. Why? The Hessians were ferocious on the ground, but they had a fear of heights. That is why they all were checkered ponies. A level detector. I don't believe this. Yes, jealous, because you didn't think of it first. Good morning, Marcy. Good morning, everybody. What are you? Carburet, then? Um, no, nothing like that. I just stopped to do a little gardening on the front of the gardening. Well, start of. Actually, I noticed this mound on the front lawn, and just out of idle curiosity, I started digging. Really bad hands? Yes. Did you find anything? Yes? Well, what was it? A shoebox with a dead squirrel in the tree.

13:14Where do Katie finds out she's dug a corky? Well, you people come to your senses. Now, the first person who mentions gold again is going to get thrown out of here. I know where we can find the gold. Well, that's the second person. Tell us, sir. How do you figure out where the gold is? Ah, no. Let's see. How do I make a long story short? I have somebody else tell it. Where is the gold? I'm getting to that. I'm getting. Now, you all know what a history but fire. Well, I just couldn't stop thinking about Katie's murder, so I called the state archives and had him send over everything they had on government rooms in the administration. And among the official papers, I found his personal diary. Fascinating, darling. I believe he carried it with him to the very end. You can still see the tard feathers on it. I'll clean it later, sir. Why did you find it there, am I? No, but I think I found the riddle. What makes you think so? Because written next one is the word riddle.

14:14I'll find it and read it too. Oh, here's one I missed. He used to wax his mustache. Is it good except for you, Grouse? Sir, the riddle? Huh, yeah. Here it is. When Hyperion's race is through, lesser states are resting too. Through the window in the west, let his glory come to rest. When the final blimmer falls, Harkin, El Dorado calls. What does that mean, El Dorado calls? It means the gold is in the trunk of a Cadillac. No, no. El Dorado obviously refers to the legendary land of gold. Yeah, but who is this fellow? Hi, Hyperion. Hi, Hyperion was the Greek god who pulled the sun across the sky in his chariot. Oh, that guy, Hyperion. That's very good. Clayton was arrested, mate. I don't know. Yet. Which I find rather comforting, because if I can't figure it out, then sure as hell none of you can. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Don't let him see it, sir.

15:14If I memorize it, unsench, follow it. Oh, well, then, Clayton, maybe I better let you see it last. You better. When Hyperion's race is through, lesser states are resting too. What do you think? I think they hung this fellow for his poetry. I'll see if you fuck. If I should think she didn't talk about a coin. Look, why don't we all put our heads together? We figured this thing out, then we split them unevenly. How does that sound? This isn't an easter egg hunt, Peter. This is hard balls, strictly finders, keepers. And what you're all trying to do, you're trying to cut me out. After I'd pioneered expeditions to the basement in the attic. Hey, dear, you came up with zilch. If you're at least I don't dig up squirrels, that's really stupid. I haven't felt that hole in you, Pete, so watch it. We can't just stand here, they'll kill each other. I know, sir, but there's always a chance that Clayton will be the first to go. I won't have any more of this squabbling. If there is a treasure here in this mansion, and if one of you should find it,

16:14you split it evenly with the others. Good thinking, Governor, I couldn't agree with you more. All in favor? No! I suppose Clayton finds a five-minute one doesn't tell the rest of us. Well, we always do it the democratic way. You mean to point us up, comedian, spin seven million to find the fact? It is, one way, but I was thinking more of a system of checks and balances. I know what you're saying. You mean we can team up and one can keep an eye on the other? Good idea? It dips on Clayton. I don't want you, Peter. I'll carry your medal, but I can't. We'll see. Can I get into you and I'll be behind this? Okay, I trust you, Marcy. You better keep an eye on me. I'll run off some copies. I'll be coming with you. Clayton, it's a mess here. Wait a minute, wait a minute, calm down, everybody. Now, we've got the historical society coming to dinner here tonight. And Treasure Hunt is awful to laugh to the banquet. Well, since right, Marcy, you haven't even typed up my speech for tonight. That's because Clayton haven't written it yet, sir. That is no excuse, Marcy. I'll be gone. I've got to get to work.

17:15I want to show that historical society a dinner they will always remember. Though I must say, it seems to me they have plenty to remember already. Until the shin diggers open, nobody even mentions gold. Kraus, what's the first course tonight? William! Well, I thought the historical society did it. It was a great success. I thought it was boring. Well, I didn't think there was so boring. I was sorry to see him leave. I know, sir. It's the first time you've finished an affidim, a speech in the parking lot. You know, it didn't get a chance to tell him about Governor Brune's letter and a five million dollars. You see it oversight, sir? Because if you had, they'd still been here ripping up the floorboards. You know, amazing what people would do for money. Sure. Human nature, sir. That greed is one of the seven deadly sands. That's right up there with sloth. Oh, hi. Well, Marcy, what are you doing here? I've come here to meet my partner and start looking for the gold.

18:16One, one. We promised to wait until after the historical society dinner, but that's all we promised. Now, where have you two been looking? I haven't looked anywhere. Oh, sure. What do you need, sir? I'll keep your mouth off. We'd come back and get a head start on your sales tax proposal. I've never explained my beach getting a shovel. Okay, Marcy. Come on. Let's get going. I've already staked out the library. The library's ours. In a pig's eye. I'll leave it to you, sir. Later at lunch. There's some published bloggers that's going to go on. Well, let's face it, sir. Nobody's going to be worth anything until we find out if the gold is here or not. But the odds against the gold will still be here in the smite for about 10 million to one. I know. There on a wild goose check. My thoughts exactly? Of course, there is one thing we could do to put an ad to it. You and I could team up. You mean become a part of all this craziness? No, no. Of course not. I mean solve the riddle. And prove that the gold isn't here. Well...

19:16Partner? If you want it? So where do you think we should start? Probably with these blueprints. That's what I know. Your blueprints show that the two shag used to be the stables, but why are we going there? Well, do you remember the beginning of the poem? I think so. One, Hyperion's races through lesser states are resting too. Right. Now, states means horses. Where do horses rest? I've got it, the stable. And if you were hiding money and wanted to make a fast, get away. Where would you hide? Normal. I think I found something. Huh? It's a coin which between the floorboards. Let me see that. Oh, Yippee. A 1974 quarter. It's Creighton. Can I have that back? Don't be petty. Look like a hang on to it for sentimental reasons. It's already mixed up with the other change in my pocket. Oh, it's not seen on the air.

20:17Let's check the gazebo. Well, I think the two of you have finally succumbed to the Lord of the Gold. No, we just came down here for handball. That's how Fixie solved the riddle. Ah. From the movie Fact Chance. Yes, sir. Mr. Benson. Marcy, I told you we should follow them. Sir, men are in cahoots. They have teamed up against us. Now, don't jump to any conclusions, veteran. I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation why the four of them are here together. And it's better be good. Vincent, thanks for the golders here. That's good. Oh, this can be a great basin. We've covered every interesting place. You could have missed it. Go ahead, Benson. Well, a poem says, when Hyperion's race is through. Now, if this guy's job is dragging the sun through the sky, his work is through its sunset. Obviously. What's the next five gums? Through the window in the west, let his glory come to rest. I figure what he's talking about is the last race of sunlight through the window. Elementary, my dear Benson.

21:17If you knew anything about the compass, you would know that the only window in this room faces south. And if you knew anything about these blueprints, you'd know that there used to be a window in this room and it faces west. Right up there. Oh, it's been filled in. So? Hit it, governor. Run the final glimmer falls. And that's the sunlight. Park them. El Dorado calls. That's the gold. The last race of sunlight marks the spot. So all we have to do is knock a hole in the wall and let the sun shine in. Don't you knock a hole in your head and let some brains in. It's too hot clock in the morning. So what will we do? Feet? Climb the ladder. No, I can't do it, Benson. Heights make me nauseous. I mean, you don't look Hessian. Get into me. I'll do it. Come on. Cross, turn on the flashlight. Marsy, turn off the light. Right. What now? Aim the light at the floor. Now that's the sunlight. Now I'm going on the idea that as the sun slowly sets in the west,

22:17the light comes through the window across the floor and up the wall. Come on, come on. Let's go up the wall here with this. Yeah. Come on. Keep going. Keep going. Oh, hold on, my scroll. I got room. There's a crack in the mortar. Oh. Sir, this is one of the most far-fetched tapasites. Oh, Titan Cat. It goes all the way around. Hey, the stone is loose. Do something. Yeah, okay. Marsy, turn on the light. It's moving. Are we blinded? We're retarded. Hold it, Clayton. This was Manson's discovery. You should have the honor. Thank you. And then, Miss Denson, we split it six ways. No, no, no. It's the same thing you hit with paper. That's all? Maybe you're to check. No, it's a letter. Read it. Derek, when you hit the goal, Philippe and I were watching

23:18from our favorite rendezvous spot, the halal. By the time you read this, your trusty stable boy, the goal, and I will be on a clip of ship, bound for Spain. And Philippe on his dolly. Tipper ship, bound for Spain, all that goal, and Philippe, how romantic. I hope the ship's sank. Now I wish I'd told my ex-wife about this. I'd like her to share the disappointment. This reminds me of a time in a third grade, when Louis Ryan took my cupcake. He went to Spain, too. With your cupcake? Oh, I don't think so. Manson, he was in his 30s when he woke. Come now, people. Be of good cheer. Someday we'll laugh about all this. Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. I'll let you in on a secret. If I had found that goal, I would have retired and spent so rest of my life on a tropical island.

24:19I'll get you a palm tree where you spend the rest of your life in your room.
