00:00Tonight, Daddy Snooks, played by Hanley Stafford, is in a bad way.
00:11He went to a stag affair at his lodge last night and is now trying to recover from the horrible after-effects of the wassail bowl.
00:19He is resting in his study as Baby Snooks enters.
00:23Let's hear your groan, Daddy.
00:24Oh, oh, my head, oh.
00:29Hello, Daddy.
00:30Oh, you're here.
00:33Now, go away, Snooks.
00:34Daddy's trying to rest.
00:36What are you laughing at?
00:38Because you're wearing that funny hat.
00:41That's not a funny hat.
00:42It's an ice bag.
00:43It looks like a funny hat.
00:45Well, it's not.
00:46Only crazy people wear funny hats.
00:49Crazy people?
00:50Yes.
00:50And the thing on my head is an ice bag.
00:53Are you hot, Daddy?
00:55No, I'm not hot.
00:56I've got chills.
00:57From my ice bag?
00:59No.
00:59I've got chills because I have a fever.
01:01Mm-hmm.
01:02My temperature is high, so my resistance is low.
01:05And when my body heat rises, it makes me feel cold when I'm really very warm.
01:10Shall I get your funny hat, Daddy?
01:12I don't want any funny hats.
01:16Now, leave me alone.
01:16My head is splitting.
01:18Oh.
01:19Oh.
01:19Why is your head splitting, Daddy?
01:22Oh, because...
01:23Because I worked too late in the office last night.
01:26Oh.
01:27How was your smoker, Daddy?
01:31All right, you little snooper.
01:33So I went to a smoker.
01:35And don't ask me to tell you what a smoker is.
01:36And don't bother me at all.
01:37Just get out of here.
01:39All right.
01:39Oh.
01:40Oh.
01:42Oh, my stomach.
01:43Oh, I see.
01:44Daddy!
01:45Oh!
01:46What do you want?
01:48How'd you get sick?
01:50Well, at this party last night, there was so much smoke that it got into my lungs.
01:54It caused this headache.
01:57Now, do you know what's the matter with me?
01:58Mm-hmm.
01:59I got a hangover.
02:02Brooks, what are you saying?
02:04That's what Mommy said on the phone.
02:07Oh, she did, eh?
02:08Big blabbermouth.
02:11Huh?
02:12Nothing.
02:12Go away and let me get some sleep.
02:14All right.
02:15Oh.
02:15Oh.
02:18Bye.
02:19Don't do that.
02:20Do what, Daddy?
02:22Yell in my ear like that.
02:23Huh?
02:24Yell in my ear!
02:25All right.
02:25Hey!
02:26Oh, my head.
02:27What are you doing to me?
02:29You told me to yell in your head.
02:31Oh, Snooks.
02:33Please leave me alone for a half hour.
02:35Just one half hour, please.
02:37All right.
02:39Daddy!
02:40Oh, now what is it?
02:42Where did you go last night?
02:44To my lodge.
02:46It was our annual smoker.
02:47Did you take Mommy?
02:49No.
02:49Why?
02:50Because no women are allowed there.
02:52Only elks.
02:56Then why did you go?
02:58Because I'm an elk.
02:59Huh?
03:00I said I'm an elk.
03:01Yeah!
03:02I know you're hollering around.
03:05But I think you're crazy.
03:08What's crazy about my being an elk?
03:10A lot of people are elks.
03:11Ah.
03:12My boss is not only an elk, but he's a lion and a moose and an eagle.
03:18How much does it cost to see him?
03:21It doesn't cost anything.
03:23Those are lodges that he belongs to.
03:25Now run along and let Daddy's headache get better.
03:27I'll go if you buy me an ice cream cone.
03:31You can't have any ice cream cones.
03:35Don't do that.
03:36Don't jar my head.
03:37I want an ice cream cone.
03:39No, I can't afford it.
03:41I work too hard for my money.
03:44Aren't you rich, Daddy?
03:45No, I'm not rich.
03:47That is, not in cash.
03:50I'm rich in other things, I guess.
03:52Oh, my head.
03:53Why are you rich in Daddy?
03:55I'm rich in other things, I guess.
03:57Oh, my head.
03:58Why are you rich in Daddy?
04:00Oh, well, I have your mother and you and your baby sister.
04:06I place a great value on all of you.
04:08How much?
04:09Oh, I don't know.
04:11I guess I rate you it's a million dollars and your mother it's a million and the baby it half a million.
04:16Oh.
04:17Daddy.
04:18What?
04:19Sell a baby and buy me an ice cream cone.
04:23Now, listen.
04:27Don't listen to me, Snooks.
04:29You're old enough to learn not to ask for so many things, but to give a little more.
04:33Give what, Daddy?
04:35Well, for instance, you have a lot of toys.
04:37Only last month you got that great big doll for present.
04:40You mean the one that Uncle Louie sent me?
04:42Yes.
04:43And that poor little Smith girl down the street has no toys.
04:46And no Uncle Louie to send her any.
04:48Mm-hmm.
04:49Now, wouldn't you like to give her that doll?
04:51No.
04:52Well?
04:53What would you like to give her?
04:54Uncle Louie.
04:57Snooks.
04:58Oh, I'm afraid you're not imbued with the spirit of charity, Snooks.
05:02I want you to grow up to be loved by everybody.
05:05Be kind and generous.
05:06Mm-hmm.
05:07And you'll be much happier, too.
05:09You'll learn what a wonderful thrill there is in giving.
05:11Much greater than receiving.
05:13Mm-hmm.
05:14You know why I'm telling you all these things?
05:16Mm-hmm.
05:17Why?
05:18Because you don't want to buy me an ice cream cone.
05:20Now, that's not it at all.
05:23I thought maybe you'd remember that Monday is my birthday.
05:26And you might buy me a little present.
05:29All right.
05:31Daddy, would you like me to buy your chocolate cake?
05:34Oh, no.
05:36With whipped cream?
05:37Oh, stop it.
05:38With marshmallow?
05:39Oh, I'm sick.
05:40Snooks, don't mention food.
05:42Well, what shall I buy you, Daddy?
05:44Oh, anything, anything.
05:45Go away now.
05:45Let me pull my stuff together.
05:47All right.
05:48I'll see how much money I got in my little bit of peek-a-wookie back.
05:51Yes, yes.
05:52Oh, thank heaven.
05:55Now, maybe I'll rest.
05:58Oh, Snooks.
05:59What's all that noise?
06:01I lost a team to my bank, and I've got to break it open.
06:05Oh, don't do it now, please.
06:09I got it open, Daddy.
06:10Well, that's good.
06:11Now, leave me alone.
06:12All right.
06:14You know what I'm going to buy you for your birthday?
06:16No.
06:17What?
06:18A new watch.
06:19Oh, that's silly.
06:20I've already got a very fine watch.
06:23No, no, I ain't, Daddy.
06:25Now, why do you say that?
06:27Because I just used to break open my bank.
06:30What?
06:30You little...
06:32Ah!
06:32Oh, that's silly.
06:33Oh, that's silly.
06:34Oh, that's silly.
06:35Oh, that's silly.
06:35Oh, that's silly.
06:36Oh, that's silly.
06:37Oh, that's silly.
06:37Oh, that's silly.
06:37Oh, that's silly.
06:38Oh, that's silly.
06:39Oh, that's silly.
06:39Oh, that's silly.
06:39Oh, that's silly.
06:40Oh, that's silly.
06:41Oh, that's silly.
06:41Oh, that's silly.
06:41Oh, that's silly.
06:42Oh, that's silly.
06:43Oh, that's silly.
06:43Oh, that's silly.
06:44Oh, that's silly.
06:44Oh, that's silly.
06:45Oh, that's silly.
06:46Oh, that's silly.
06:46Oh, that's silly.
06:47Oh, that's silly.
06:48Oh, that's silly.
