Get wet and forget at Home Depot, Lowe's and Walmart. It's Bob Hope weekdays of a most of these stations. Now it's the old rich family on NBC. Henry, Henry old rich. Coming mother. Rest of your rich family is transcribed, written by Clifford Goldsmith. As every grown-up knows, a typical teenage boy never has to go looking for interesting problems to solve. The problems come looking for the boy. And you can be sure that a new and startling one pops up every day, especially for Henry old rich. The scene opens in the old rich living room. The time is evening.

Mother, could you look at it this way? I'm sorry, Henry, but I don't want to discuss it anymore. Mother, don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to discuss it. I just want to ask you. Henry, Mrs. Brown came over here to visit with me not to listen to us argue about whether you should have a new suit. Oh, excuse me, Mrs. Brown. Oh, that's all right, Henry. It's nice to see you take an interesting clothes. Sure. Mother, if you thought of it this way, you've got to buy me a new suit sometime. Why not get one tomorrow and let me get a little wear out of it? Henry, I think it's time for you to go to bed. Without a... Without a... Henry? Yes, mother. Good night. Good night, dear. Good night, Mrs. Brown. Good night, Henry. I hope you'll pardon the way my bathrobe hangs in the back. Yes, dear. Alice, I didn't want to say anything about it while Henry was here. But would you mind if I suggest something? No, not at all. But it's only because I know you don't want to buy anything that isn't absolutely necessary. But Homer has a new suit I think would fit Henry. Really?

He'd put it on just once and Alice, believe it or not, it's been hanging in the closet ever since. My goodness, Elizabeth. And it's a good suit, Alice. Homer's uncle said it to him only the other day. Who don't say? Yes, and he's an awfully good dresser. He sells things all over the country. And the shoe, Alice. Well, when you first see it, you might say... Well, yes. But when you stand off at a distance, dear, the chicks. They're brown with a sort of orange stripe in the background. Well, the chicks all seem to blend right in. And Homer refused to wear it? Yes, but he doesn't care a thing about clothes. You know how Homer is. How sometimes I think he doesn't care about anything? No, I wouldn't say that. Alice, you just don't know. Well, I said to him, I said, Homer. That shoe will make people stop and look at you. And Alice, he acted just the way he does about broccoli and salad. Mother! Yes, Henry? Did you know that the government expects a wool shortage before spring? Dear, I want you to get right into bed.

Yes, mother. Only don't you think we should take advice from our own government? Good night, dear. Elizabeth, are you positive you wouldn't mind Henry having that suit? Alice, I think it would teach Homer a lesson. And if you aren't doing anything now, why don't we walk over to my house and get the suit? That's a wonderful idea. I'll put it on the chair beside Henry's bed in the morning and surprise him. Good breakfast, Alice. Good breakfast. And you're not leaving for the office. This early, are you? Sorry, goodbye. Goodbye, dear. Tell Henry I'm sorry I didn't see him before he came down. I will. Mother! Yes, Mary? Yes, Henry. He'll be down in just a few minutes dear. He's in the bathroom washing. Oh. And Mary, while he's in there, I want you to take this up to his room so he doesn't see you and lay it on his chair. This mother? Yes, Mary, I just finished pressing it. Oh, what are you going to do? Cover his chair with it?

What do you mean cover his chair? Well, it isn't a slip cover or something. Now, Mary, that's a perfectly good suit. Mother, you mean Henry has to wear that? Where did you get it? The Mrs. Brown gave it to Henry. And the only reason you don't care for it is because it's folded and you're standing too close to it. But, Mother, you can see these checks the block away. Now, dear, please take it upstairs. Yes, Mother. I just hope Henry doesn't find out that I had anything to do with it. And now, Mary? Mrs. Aldrich, is Henry ready for school? But, good morning, Homer. Aren't you just a bit early? Boy, I'll say. I wanted to get out of the house before. I was afraid my mother might make me wear a good morning. Well, Homer, I'm afraid it's going to be some time before Henry gets down. And, dear, you don't want to be late, do you? Well, I don't mind waiting. Oh. Has he had his breakfast yet? No, Homer. Are you having hotcakes? Mother! Yes, Henry? What's this thing up here?

What thing? This thing on my chair. Why, Henry, that's for you. For me? This? Yes, you asked for one, didn't you? I? I asked for a rug. Henry, if you'll unfold it, you'll see it is not a rug. Well, what is it, Mrs. Aldrich? Well, gee, wind. Just put it on, dear. What's he got, Mrs. Aldrich? What's he got? What's that, Homer? Mother, I don't mean to criticize, but where did you get this? Well, why is it, Mrs. Aldrich? What is it? Homer, I'm sorry to be inhospitable, but Henry may have a lot on his mind when he comes down. I mean, Homer, you better be going. Now, goodbye. Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello, mother. Henry, aren't you in school yet? I've got time, mother.

I just had a phone and ask you something. Where are you? One just three blocks down the street. And, mother, here's what I want to ask you. Well, it's about this darn suit I'm wearing. Now, Henry, I don't want to hear you speak that way about that suit again. Well, I didn't mean to be disrespectful about it. Mother, don't misunderstand me only. You think this is, this is really a school suit? Henry, if you didn't wear it to school, where would you wear it? Well, that's true. Now, dear, just think back a minute. Remember how we both agreed it made you look much bigger and older? Well. And it didn't even Mary tell you how much you look in it? Yes. And there you are, dear. But I remember only last week we ought to tell Mary we liked your dress and boy. Just a minute, Henry. Mary, please call away from here. If you want Henry, leave you. What's that? Nothing, Henry. Mary was just saying something about a slip cover for a chair or something.

Oh, boy, Henry. Oh, boy. How you, Willie? Wait a minute, I'll walk down the corridor with you. Where did you get it, Henry? Nice morning, isn't it, Willie, all the time? Boy, pipe the new suit. Hi, Toby. Hey, Henry, take it off. We know who you are. Are you going to history, Toby? Don't get near me, Henry. You want to blow into me? That's what I say, Henry. Flashing a thing like that, right? My guy's lying. Hey, wait, fellas. Who do you think he's going to win the game Saturday? Hey, Jimmy, look at Henry. Hello, Henry. Hello, Lucy. Are you going to history? Not good. What's the matter? What are you looking at me like that for? Not good. Turn around. What for? I want to see where there's a belt in the back. Now, listen, Lucy. This who happens to be all wool. I'll say. And a yard wide. Hey, Lucy. Homer. Homer, look. What? Well, gee, who is? Henry, is that... Is that...

Now, listen, Henry, let me see that. What's the matter, Homer? Well, I'll be done. What? Sure. That's what I thought the minute I saw. That's my Uncle Askers. What, Homer? Well, sure it is. I could tell that suit a mile away. You're crazy, Homer. My mother bought this suit for me. Well, you're crazy yourself. Here he is, Charlie. Take a look at that suit. Yeah. Where are my Doc glasses? The golden pants are all one piece. Listen, fellas. I want you to meet my Uncle Asker. Bye, Asker. Bye, Asker. Oh, Homer, you're killing me. Homer, I'm warning you. I'm warning you. I've got just so much patience. I suppose you think I'm making it up about my Uncle Asker. Sure you are. All right. Henry, I'll prove it to you. Let me see the label. No, wait, Homer, keep your hands off me. Go ahead, Homer. You want me to hold him for you? I'm sure. No, Homer, I warn you. Keep your hands off this. Henry, that you... Hello, Eleanor. Well, aren't you going to be late to history? Why? Late Eleanor? What are you getting around about, Asker? For the last time, fellas, let's cut this out and just...

Just all go to history. You got any checkers, whether you're fellas? Wait on, Asker. It's like a blanket. Is that so, Willie? Well, I'll have you understand this suit never belonged to Homer's uncle. What does it say on the label, Homer? Here, I'll show you. Stand back, Homer. Stand back. What? Why should I? Sure, go ahead, Homer. That's your uncle's suit and you can do anything you want. Sure, I can. Sure, I can. For the last time, Homer, remember what I said. Go ahead, Asker. Sock him. Sure, I will. And stop calling the Asker. Let's fight right into gold. I'm not fighting Eleanor. I'm just protecting myself. Go ahead, Homer. Go ahead, Tom. I suppose you think I'm afraid to take another step. Well, why not, Janet? Now listen, Willie, quit pushing me. He took another step, everyone. He took another step. Well, that one doesn't count. But Homer, if you take another, boy, will you? Will you? Stand back, fellas. Stand back and give him room. Boy, I think you're both just awful. Are you really going to fight? Lucy, I hope you don't think. I hope you don't. Has anybody got the time?

Yes, it's time for history. It is? Well, listen, Homer. It's a very good thing for you what is. And it's a very good thing for you, Cho Henry. You mean you're going to quit? Hey, Toby. Let's get the two of them together at three o'clock. Hey, that's an idea right after the last period. Today? I mean, I got to fight Homer at three o'clock? That's right. Oh, what for? I mean, I got to fight Henry? Sure, Homer. Well, let's find. Sure. That's fine. Okay. Are they the best? Yes, Will. Is that Homer on the phone? Yes, dear. He wanted me to get him out of school early this afternoon. What for? I hope you didn't tell him he would. Oh, no, Will, of course I didn't. But he literally begged me to make an appointment for him after dentist. Homer, dear? And before the last period this afternoon. That's the trouble with you, Elizabeth.

You're just spoiling him. He'll let him have his own way about everything. Will, I told him definitely he could not leave early. Even if he does need some dental work done. Oh, good. And what's more, Elizabeth, I think it's time we put our foot down and made him wear that suit at Oscar's ending. Yes, dear. I agree with you. Only first. I think maybe I ought to tell you something. Well? Now, don't fly off the handle, Will. And don't hit the ceiling. Only... Only what? I gave it to Henry Org. You did what? Now, my brown. Now, my brown. Homer is your son and he has your stubbornness. And I just couldn't go through life fighting both of you over one suit. I know, Elizabeth. But suppose Oscar arrives and wants to see how it looks on Homer. But, dear, we can't go over and ask Henry to return this suit. Can we? Why not? Which is more important. Henry or my brother, Oscar, who makes $11,000 a year. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

No! No! No! No, Lucy. Look at what somebody put up on a bulletin' boy. Wear Eleanor, right in front of you. The big poster. Today at three o'clock, the fright of the century. Oh, my goodness. Homer brown versus Oscar the Flash. Oh, come on, Lucy. We'll be late for English. All right. Where's the fight gonna be, Alamore? I don't know. I certainly hope you aren't going. Well, I just hate fights, but I haven't anything else to do. I, Lucy, have you seen Homer any place? No, I haven't, Toby. You know what I told him I do for him? What, Toby? Be a second this afternoon. Is what? His second, his second, and Willie's gonna be Henry's second. You mean when Henry and Homer get tired of fighting, you and Willie are gonna fight? No, we tell him what to do, and then we get water to drink. My goodness, they're even gonna drink water. Hey, Toby. Hi, Charlie. The football team's getting up a petition for the coach to cancel practice this afternoon, so they can all go see the fight. What are you gonna do? You think I'd be making a mistake if I didn't see it? No, see, it's a grudge fight.

Why, it's been building up for three years. Oh, let's go into English. Quiet, please. Quiet. That's what's up in your order. Hello, Henry. Hi, Alamore. Hey, Alamore, are you sitting way back here? Oh, I just decided to change my seat. Quiet, please. Now, please turn to page 103. By the way, Henry Aldridge, may I ask why you're sitting way back there in the last row? Why, why, just, how can you sit down here? Would you mind standing up when you speak, please? No, Miss Agustin. Oh, my goodness. Quiet, please, quiet. I don't see anything funny to laugh at. And Henry, as long as you do not like your regularcy, I suppose you come right down here and take the seat in the front row by me. Now? Yes, please. Quiet, quiet.

Seems to me, Henry, you should have plenty to do without deliberately upsetting this entire class. Yes, Miss Agustin. You want me to sit here? Well, as long as you're standing, I'll call on you first. To read? Please start for the first paragraph at the top of page 103. Yes, Miss Agustin.

During the mold decade at the end of the 19th century, they're passed across the English literary scene a figure whose prominence derived not only from his writing but from his elaborate taste in clothes. This man was Oscar. Oscar. Let's go to flash!

She wears Oscar Wilde! Alice? Alice, I want you to come into the living room and meet a business friend of mine. Sam, you mean you brought him home for lunch? Alice, he doesn't expect much. Just have something real nice. But Sam, mother? Yes, Mary, I'm in the dining room. Mother, I was just downtown. And what do you think somebody told me? I've got to go back to the kitchen and take off his apron. Father, would you like to hear what I heard about home a brow? Mary, there's a gentleman in the living room who's come to town, a rather important Mary. You don't wear that dress for lunch? Why, I plan to father. Yeah. I'll spot you run upstairs and see whether you can't do it. What do you can't do? You mean you want me to put on something a little nicer? Yes, ma'am. Mother! Henry, come here, please. I'll ask mother what I should put on. Henry, where are you? Right here in the hall. Is there something you want? Yeah, I want you to come in and meet... Henry.

You know what, father? I can't help but mother made me wear it. That thing? Where did she... That's what I'd like to know. Turn around. Father, who is it you want me to meet? No one. Henry? Henry, what are you doing home for lunch? Well, mother, I just thought I'd rather eat here. Here, dear? Isn't this hot dog day in the school cafeteria? Yes, mother, and I like hot dogs, but... Frankly, I don't enjoy eating them in a place where everyone's there and sees... and sees... Oh, my goodness! Now listen, Mary! My Henry! Mary, I thought you were going upstairs and changed your dress. I am only, I mean, I have to change and you're going to let Henry... No, Mary? Yes, mother. Only first, is I tell you what I heard about Homer? What about him? He's going to be in a big fight with somebody to tap to know... Fight with... Here? Yes, Henry, with Oscar, somebody. Who could that be? With Oscar? My goodness, the whole town's talking about it.

Henry, I think if Homer's going to turn out to be that kind of a boy, the less you have to do within the better. You're sure, mother? I don't like any of that crowd at school. That's why I thought I'd come home for lunch. Henry, you're not going to eat here with us, are you? Well, guess, father, we're not in this. I'm going to go upstairs and change first. Henry, you can't possibly change. Your other suit is at the tailor's. Well, mother, at least I can go out and put on my corduroy. No, dear, your corduroy is in the wash. Now turn around and show your father these shoulders. That's an excellent suit. Yes. And feel it, Sam. Feel it? She was, father, be honest. Just now when you first saw this suit, you almost faded. Who I? Yeah, sure. Sam. Henry, it's an excellent suit I hadn't seen in the back before. But you really think it's worth fighting over? I said they're telling you it's handsome, not going ahead and wear it. Well, Mr. Oliver, is this your family here in the hall? Yes, Mr. Thomas. This is Mrs. Oliver. Dear, this is Mr. Thomas. How do you do? And I'm sorry, but my daughter Mary's just stepped out.

Was that Henry I see right behind you? Yes, this is Henry. He just came home to put on a costume for a school play, then. Now he's got to rush right back. What's up, father? Goodbye, Henry. Goodbye, and good luck. Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas. It's OK. The old-age family has been family-l listening for a long time, but here at NBC we have a number of families who bring you top comedy.

["Henry O'Ritche"] Now getting back to the troubles of Henry O'Ritch, because Henry has had to wear a suit that formerly belonged to Homer Brown's Uncle Oscar, he suffered more than his share from the gang at school. As a result, the students have scheduled an open fight at three o'clock this afternoon between Henry and Homer, the scene opens in the principal's office. Come in. Did you want to see me here in your office, Mr. Bradley? Yes, Mr. Eggleston. Sit down. I hope I didn't call you for many class. No, Mr. Bradley. Mr. Eggleston, I happened to pass by your English pass this morning, and frankly, it seemed to me I heard more disturbance than was really necessary.

Mr. Bradley, may I say something? Yes, Mr. Eggleston, just as soon as I am finished. A reasonable amount of laughter is quite an order in any class, but when the students sound as though they were rolling on the floor, I can only conclude that the teacher has lost all control. Now may I say something, Mr. Bradley? Yes, Mr. Eggleston, as soon as I have finished. As I pass by your partly open door, it seemed to me that in the midst of all this commotion, I saw you laughing. But, Mr. Bradley, I'm only human. Thank you, partner. I'm sorry, but it would be impossible for me to describe what happened. Now come, Mr. Eggleston, I can appreciate a joke just as much as anyone. No, Mr. Bradley, I didn't mean to insinuate that you couldn't digest me. Regardless of what you meant, that's certainly the way it sounded. And to be frank, I think it would be very wise if I visited your class tomorrow. Come in. Do you chant for me, Mr. Bradley? Yes, Willie, come in. That will be all, Mr. Bradley. That will be all. And tomorrow, we'll all have a good laugh together. Very well.

Now then, Willie. Yes, Mr. Bradley. Of course, the door, please. Oh, yes, Mr. Bradley. Well, I had a talk with Mr. Bradley. I told him just exactly what you said. So there won't be a public fight on the school grounds this afternoon. Are you made it quite clear, Willie? Oh, yes, Mr. Bradley. And the fight is off entirely? Well, not entirely. That is, instead, we decided I mean, they're going to have it on the vacant lot and back, Willie, it isn't going to be on the school grounds. Willie, I understand. You are one of the ring leaders in all this. Who I, Mr. Bradley? A ring leader? Oh, no. I'm just a second. Are you sure of that? Oh, Mr. Bradley, if there's one thing I hate to see, it's two guys in a good fight. Well, I suppose if they've got to get it out of their system, understand, Willie. I am emphatically against boys fighting. But if it's off the school grounds, I don't see how I can in any way interfere.

Yes, Mr. Bradley. And that will be all? Yes, Mr. Bradley. Oh, Willie, just one moment. Yes, Mr. Bradley. Where did you say this fight is going to be held? Why? I didn't say. Yes, that will be all. Hey, fellas, look, what I've got for Homer, a pale, and a spot. Oh, that's nothing. Look at what I got for Harriet Shockler. Olamin, who's going to keep time? I am Willie. I am. Where's Henry and Homer? Oh, they all be along. Henry said he'd get here as fast as he could. Boy, was he anxious to get into this? Well, Homer was anxious, too, he said he wouldn't be late. My goodness, Elinor, isn't this exciting? I think it's terrible. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. I can hardly wait.

What time is it, Homer? It's exactly 25 minutes after three. Is that right? It's a pretty good sound, isn't it, Henry? Boy, I'll say. And don't misunderstand me. I'd be perfectly willing to go over to that lab and fight you, Henry. Only sure. I know what you mean. And I hope you don't think I wouldn't be willing to fight you, Homer. She was. I'd be willing to knock your block off for you. But as the fellow at this order fountain just told you, your father's been looking all over time for you. Sure. And if he wants me to keep an appointment at the dentist or something, naturally I can't disobey him. Naturally. Homer, don't look toward the door now, but I think some of the gang just went by. Do you think they're still looking for her? Sure. Let's have another soda. I'll pay for this one. Oh, no, Henry, you let me. Are you crazy? Homer, I got a quarter right here. Now, wait a minute. Oh, she was. Did I knock it out of your hand? Well, that's all right, Homer. It's right down here in the floor, someplace. Oh, wait a second, Henry. You let me get it for you. Well, I'm already under the table, Homer.

So am I. Hey, fellas. Here they are. Where, Charlie? They're wrestling under the table. Oh, she was. Hey, fellas. Don't you realize the whole school is waiting for you over at the line? Who was? Now, listen, Homer, you stop twisting my ankle. Henry, take your hands off my throat. Oh, my feet are going good now. What are you doing about Lucy? They haven't even swine at each other yet. They haven't. What are they doing? Open your eyes and you're seeing. Oh, my goodness. They're at least six feet away from each other. Why, shall I? Henry, why, shall I? Sure, I will. Homer, what do you keep circling around them for? I'm measuring them. Come on, let's have some action. Yeah, that's what I say. Hey, Henry. You're done swine. How can I hit them? Look at them keep backing away. Yeah. You're crazy. You're backing away yourself. I am not. What happened? Hey, who tripped me? Hey, help Henry out, somebody. Because I'm all right. Now, listen, Homer.

Stop running all around me like that. Oh, it's running. Who's running? Oh, let's talk into him, Homer. Let's tell him when I get off. Homer, tell him I can't think of his soap. Come on. Sure. Some soap. Some soap. You look just like my uncle Oscar. No, listen, Homer. Do you call me that once more? Oh, Henry, go away from soccer. I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm going to. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Don't you win. Homer, run here. Is that you? Do I have to go to the dentist? You come with me. Now? Mr. Brown, you mean I can't beat Homer up? I can't let this for you, Henry. All right. You come along, too. And ring that suit with you. Boy, am I ashamed? Am I ashamed? Well, listen, Homer. Here we are all the way out in the edge of town. She was entire walking.

Boy, am I ashamed? Oh, it doesn't look so bad on your home or not. The sun's going down. All the checks are sort of blended together. Yeah, I know. But my father said, I've got to wear this suit to school tomorrow. Listen, Henry, you've already broken it in. Wouldn't you like to wear it? Homer, didn't your father tell you I couldn't keep it? But he wanted you to have the pleasure of wearing it? Yeah, sure. What do you think I want everyone in town to call me? Ask her this and ask her that for as long as I live here? I wonder... I wonder... you wonder what? I don't suppose we could burn this suit, could we? Right on me? Well, the only thing is, Henry. My father wouldn't believe it was an accident. You know what I mean? Well, listen, let's go back into town, then. Oh, no. Not until it's pitch black. Hey, Homer, look out. What's the matter? Do you see what I see crawling across the road?

Henry, what is that? She wears it. It's a skunk, isn't it? Henry, is that a skunk? Are you sure it's a skunk? Sure it is. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. Here, kitty, kitty. Come to Homer. Homer, hurry. He's getting away from you. Come to Homer. Come to Homer. Come to Homer. Come to Homer. Right now, even in November, many sections of the country are unusually dry. This increases the danger of forest fires. So every time you're out in the fields of forest, follow these rules. Crush out cigarette, cigar, and pipe ashes. Break matches in two after using them. Drown all campfires, then stir and drown them again. Learn and respect the law before starting any fire. Forest rangers can fight forest fires, but only you can prevent them.

Yes, father. Are you back already? Well, father, it's like this. Homer, didn't I tell you to go down to the dentist? Yes, sir, I did. Only he said he'd rather wait a week or two before he works on me. The old-reach family is transcribed as written by Clifford Goldsmith. Henry is played by Bobby Ellis and Homer by Jack Rines.
