00:01Suppose I talked to the hotel manager, would that ha-
00:04What?
00:05Well, yes, I did say that.
00:08Well, I-I meant it, but I-
00:10Well, wait just a moment.
00:13Mr. Butterworth wants to know
00:15if we can invite Mr. and Mrs. Durham to be our house guest for a few days.
00:18When?
00:19Well, tonight, now. They're already in town, but they can't stay at the hotel.
00:22Why not?
00:23Uh, Mr. Butterworth, I just spoke to Dorothy and, uh,
00:27our guest room is empty.
00:29So I'll be right down to the hotel to pick them up.
00:32No, no, no trouble at all.
00:34And give my best regards to Mrs. Butterworth.
00:37Goodbye.
00:38Your boy sure has a nerves inviting guests without giving us notice.
00:43Hazel, I don't like the idea either.
00:46But since Mr. Butterworth thought it important enough to call from San Francisco,
00:49we have to give them some consideration.
00:51Well, I'm still waiting to hear why they can't stay at the hotel.
00:54You did remember to make the reservation, didn't you?
00:56Oh, yes, that isn't it.
00:58Mr. Butterworth didn't go into detail, but he did say they were pretty upset because of the hotel's attitude toward their little Rodney.
01:05You mean there's three of them?
01:07Mr. and Mrs. and that little boy?
01:10Well, it seems like it.
01:12If he's as old as I am, that'll be great.
01:15Well, I don't know whether it will or not.
01:17Mr. Butterworth also commented that he certainly understood the hotel's attitude toward the little monster.
01:22Goodbye, dear.
01:25Come on, Missy.
01:26Maybe we can finish the game before the guests get here.
01:31Whose turn is it?
01:32Mine.
01:33And if I got a doozy of a word.
01:35If I can just spell catastrophe.
01:38To whoever was on.
01:39If I get in here, it's a ..
01:40If I can't stand there.
01:41See you around.
01:42Go, can I get in there?
01:43Yes, sir.
01:44Hazel is brought to you by
02:14Hazel is brought to you by
02:44Hazel is brought to you by
02:46Hazel is brought to you by
02:49Hazel is brought to you by
02:54What do you do?
02:55Won't you sit down?
03:03That's a good boy.
03:05You see, these nice people aren't going to hurt my precious baby.
03:09Are you, Mr. Baxter?
03:15Lovely home you have here, Mrs. Baxter.
03:17Thank you for inviting us.
03:18Well, you're welcome.
03:19I just hope that you and Mrs. Durham and Rodney enjoy your visit here with us.
03:24That hotel manager had no heart at all expecting my darling to stay in the basement kennels.
03:30Why, we haven't been separated for a single night, have we, dear?
03:40Your dog sure isn't very friendly, Mr. Durham.
03:43Oh, well, you'll get used to him.
03:46You want a bath?
03:47Yeah, Hazel, I think it'd be nice if you made coffee for everyone.
03:50Now.
03:51Yes, Hazel.
03:52Maybe they'd like a slice of that fresh coconut cake you baked.
03:56Nothing to eat, thanks.
03:57We had dinner on the plane.
03:58But coffee would certainly be welcome.
04:01I'll have it in a jiffy.
04:03You just relax.
04:05I'll be right back.
04:05If you don't mind, please serve it in our room and bring a bowl of warm milk for Rodney.
04:14We're a bit tired after our trip, so if you'll show us to our quarters, Mrs. Baxter.
04:20Oh.
04:21Oh, yes, of course.
04:23Right upstairs.
04:25Oh, God.
04:25That's right.
04:26Son, how would you like to help me with their luggage?
04:45Sure, Dad.
04:46Well, we, uh, got all their luggage upstairs.
05:12Now, look, I couldn't help it.
05:17I had to bring them here.
05:18Where's Harold?
05:20Well, he's outside visiting Smiley.
05:22Oh, boy, it's a good thing that dog was out of the house and Rodney got here.
05:26Why?
05:27Why?
05:28Hazel, if those two meet, they'll be the biggest dogfight you ever saw.
05:32And if anything happened to little Rodney...
05:34Little Rodney?
05:35He could take on King Kong.
05:37What exactly, George, is the relationship between Mr. Butterworth and the Durhams?
05:42Mrs. Durham is Mrs. Butterworth's sister.
05:45Well, then why didn't the Durhams go to their house?
05:48You know the Butterworths are out of town.
05:50Well, I can understand that.
05:52They left town as soon as they heard the Durhams were coming with little Rodney.
05:56Hazel, that had nothing to do with it, I don't think.
05:59I still don't see why we should be inconvenienced by Mr. Butterworth's relatives.
06:03We can't just tell them to go sleep in the park.
06:05Oh, George.
06:06Besides, Mr. Durham's business is very profitable to our law firm.
06:10It is?
06:10It certainly is.
06:12Mr. Durham's here to look for a site for a new factory.
06:14So, inconvenient or not, we can't afford to be inhospitable to the Durhams.
06:18How long are we going to have to put up with them?
06:22Well, four or five days.
06:25Maybe a week.
06:26A week?
06:28George, we can't keep Rodney and Smiley separated for a whole week.
06:32I know, so I think maybe you should take Smiley to a boarding kennel the first thing in the morning.
06:39Oh, oh no, not me.
06:42You're going to kick Smiley out and keep little Rodney?
06:46It's the only thing we can do under the circumstances.
06:49Oh, well, excuse me.
06:52I've got to take little Rodney his warm milk.
06:56Well, now, you can see it's the best solution, can't you?
06:59Don't explain it to me, George.
07:02You explain it to Harold.
07:04Hey, Dad, is it okay with you if I let Smiley sleep on my bed tonight,
07:22the way Mrs. Durham's letting Rodney sleep on hers?
07:26Son, sit down.
07:29Let's have a little talk.
07:31Sure, Dad.
07:34Well, now, first, I want you to know that Mr. Durham is a very important man.
07:42Oh, he doesn't act half as important as Mrs. Durham.
07:47Well, that's not quite what I was getting at.
07:52The point is, we want to make them feel welcome.
07:56And I think it would be best for everyone if we sent Smiley away while they're here.
08:02Send him away?
08:04Why?
08:05Well, you can see how Rodney acts.
08:08He'd never get along with Smiley.
08:10But, Dad, Smiley lives here.
08:13Well, son, think of it this way.
08:17We'll be giving Smiley a vacation.
08:19A vacation from what?
08:22Oh, he'll like that boarding kennel.
08:24Well, it'll be something like going off to summer camp.
08:31Believe me, son, I wouldn't do this if I wasn't convinced it's best for everyone.
08:40You understand that, don't you?
08:43I guess so.
08:44Well, come along, get your coat.
08:47We'll take him over there now.
08:49You can explain it to him on the way.
08:55I didn't even hear George get up this morning.
08:58What time did he and Mr. Durham leave?
09:007.30.
09:02And Mr. Durham says they'd be getting up this early every morning till he finds a sight to the factory.
09:07Oh, the sooner the better.
09:08That dog kept me awake most of the night.
09:12What'd he do?
09:13He snores.
09:15I didn't hear him right through the wall.
09:16I don't know how they can stand it.
09:18Oh, that's why Mr. Durham wears them things.
09:21What things?
09:22Earplugs.
09:23He was still wearing them when he came down to breakfast this morning.
09:26That sounds like a good idea.
09:27I think I'll buy some for George and me.
09:30You know, Missy, I think we was kind of hot on Mr. B last night.
09:35He feels terrible about Smiley.
09:37He doesn't like Rodney being here any more than we do.
09:40I know.
09:41That's what I figured.
09:42So I decided I'd cooperate and make it easy on everybody.
09:47That's right, Hazel.
09:49If we meet the situation with a little less resistance, we'll make it more tolerable for ourselves.
09:55Good morning.
09:55Good morning.
09:56Good morning.
09:56Careful, Rodney.
09:58You're home.
09:59Good morning.
10:00In the dining room.
10:01Come on in.
10:02Good morning.
10:03Good morning.
10:04Well, good morning to you, too, Rodney.
10:07Oh, well, I'm sure sorry to hear that, but you'll feel better when you see what I got
10:14for you.
10:15Poor baby.
10:15He's just like his daddy.
10:17Always grouchy until after he's had his breakfast.
10:20Oh, well, he'll cheer up when he sees what I got.
10:23Come on.
10:23I wasn't sure what he liked best, so I got them all.
10:30Oh, that's too bad.
10:33But I'm sure they'll let you exchange them.
10:36Rodney doesn't eat dog food.
10:38He don't?
10:39I've made out his menu to guide you.
10:41For breakfast, he has four poached eggs, six slices of bacon crisp, one piece of buttered
10:47toast cut into bite-sized squares.
10:49For lunch, a pint of cottage cheese.
10:52For dinner, either a sliced tenderloin medium rare or sirloin tips.
10:57No caviar?
10:59No.
11:00He doesn't like caviar.
11:02But occasionally he enjoys a shrimp cocktail.
11:05And of course, he always has a bowl of warm milk at night.
11:09So he'll sleep well.
11:10Well, Hazel and I, I want you and Rodney to be comfortable while you're here, and we're
11:16very anxious to cooperate, aren't we, Hazel?
11:19Yeah.
11:20More poached eggs coming right up.
11:23Just orange juice and coffee for me.
11:25You can bring everything right upstairs whenever it's ready.
11:28Come, Rodney, dear.
11:29Hey, wait a minute.
11:31You mean everything?
11:33You mean you want Rodney served breakfast in the guest room?
11:37We always have breakfast together in our bedroom at home.
11:41Rodney will feel less upset if we continue the same routine here.
11:45Poor baby, he's so sensitive.
11:48Like Missy says, we'll, we'll cooperate.
11:52Splendid.
11:53And after breakfast, Dorothy, I thought it would be great fun if we could go shopping at
11:57some of the better stores.
11:59With Rodney?
12:00No, unfortunately, he doesn't like shopping.
12:04He'll be much happier here with Hazel.
12:07Oh, boy.
12:08I can hardly wait.
12:10Isn't that wonderful, Rodney?
12:12Hazel must be Sagittarius.
12:14We Sagittarians are more simpatico with Rodney than any other zodiacal sign, you know.
12:19I'll hurry and get ready so we can leave right after breakfast.
12:22Come, dear.
12:22Come, dear.
12:23That's Mr. B's favorite chair.
12:49Hey, get out of there.
13:02Oh, simmer down.
13:03It's just Barney, the mailman.
13:05Well, now, that's more like it.
13:11Hi, Barney.
13:14Is that you, Hazel?
13:18Oh, no.
13:20Oh, no, Barney.
13:22Barney.
13:22Don't worry, Barney, I'll get him.
13:33Here now, here now, sit it down, you.
13:36Here, come on.
13:37You can come down now, Barney.
13:39Oh, no.
13:40Not till you lock that dog up.
13:41Oh, well, he ain't ours.
13:43He's just visiting.
13:44Come on, you.
13:47Come on.
13:48Pull down.
13:48No, Barney.
13:49Ouch.
13:53Come on.
13:54Come on.
13:56If I was like that, I ought to keep locked up in a cage.
14:02Rodney did that?
14:03Yeah, just like he was shot out of a gun.
14:06He chased a grocery boy up the tree, just like he did Barney.
14:09Well, then what happened?
14:10Well, the grocery boy stayed up the tree until I got Rodney back in the house, just like Barney did.
14:15Boy, things are sure different around here since Rodney came.
14:19Yeah, that dog has just taken over everything.
14:22You know, last night he wouldn't even let Dad sit in his favorite chair.
14:25I guess he's taken that over, too.
14:27Oh, sure.
14:28Today the house, tomorrow the whole neighborhood.
14:30We're going to have to do something about that dog before it's too late.
14:34All right, Harold, if you're ready.
14:36We better go.
14:36I'm ready.
14:37Where are you taking the missy?
14:38Over to the kennel.
14:39Oh, come on now.
14:40No matter how much he misses Smiley, the kennel ain't going to take Harold in to board.
14:44Oh, Hazel.
14:46What's so funny?
14:47I'm just going over to the kennels to visit Smiley, Hazel.
14:49After that, Mom's dropping me over at Freddy's house.
14:52I'm staying there all night.
14:53Oh, well, wait a minute.
14:54Here.
14:55Take this to him.
14:58Some candy.
14:59Gee, thanks, Hazel.
15:01That candy's for Smiley.
15:03Not Freddy.
15:04I'm sure it's going to be a lovely party.
15:23Right this way, ladies and gentlemen.
15:25Oh, Hazel, how nice.
15:28I thought you might like a little snack in case they served you dinner late.
15:32Oh, they're delicious.
15:33I'll have two right away.
15:36Drinks or appetizers?
15:38Appetizers, silly.
15:40Come on in and sit down.
15:43Mr. B, I fixed it so you get your favorite chair tonight.
15:48That's what you think.
15:49How'd you get him to do that?
16:00It's a dogly pendant.
16:01It gets him every time.
16:06Well, Mr. Durham, have you had any luck in finding some property?
16:11Oh, my, yes.
16:12Several pieces.
16:13Oh, that's wonderful.
16:15Yes, but it's only the beginning.
16:17Oh.
16:19Now the dickering starts.
16:21And it looks like it's going to be some time before any of those owners come around to my price.
16:28Well, I, uh, I believe that the Maple Avenue property's not too far out of line.
16:35I, uh, think that, uh, perhaps it won't be too long before they accept your offer.
16:41Well, you never can tell about these things, George.
16:44From now on, it's going to be something like a game of poker.
16:47I'm just going to have to sit back and wait it out.
16:51I do hope it won't take too long, Ashton.
16:55You know how difficult Rodney can be when he gets bored.
16:58If you ask me, he was born bored.
17:06Oh, I, uh, just noticed the time.
17:09If we don't leave now, we'll be late.
17:11Now you be a good little boy while Momsy's away.
17:15Hazel, first thing in the morning, I want you to call the exterminator and have that chair fumigated.
17:23ZA, ZA, ZA, ZA!
17:43ZA, ZA, ZA, ZA.
17:45Hey, Zoe!
17:53It's okay, Barney. It's safe. I got them all tied up.
18:11Run for it, Barney! You can make it!
18:15You know, Rodney ain't so dumb. He's just been raised wrong.
18:33Well, the rod spoiled a child. You know what I mean?
18:36Now, just a minute, Hazel.
18:37Oh, I didn't buy no rod to beat him with, if that's what you mean, Mr.
18:40No, this book tells you how to train a dog.
18:44And this special collard helps you do the job.
18:47But, Hazel, Rodney's been spoiled all his life. He's a little old to change now.
18:51Well, the book says a dog is never too old to learn.
18:55Hazel, I admit there are plenty of things Rodney should be taught, but...
18:59You're Don Tootin', and I'm just the girl to teach him that us humans has got to be obeyed.
19:06No! No, no, Rodney! I paid $4.95 for that book!
19:15Rodney? No! No!
19:17There, there, dear. There...
19:24Morning!
19:25Good morning, Hazel. Just, uh, put it on the table there.
19:31The sun tide.
19:34Oh, dear, he did it again. The poor baby had such a restless night. He sneezed four times.
19:42You don't say.
19:44The poor darling's completely exhausted this morning.
19:47So I think you better let him rest now, Hazel, and serve his breakfast later on.
19:51Are you kidding?
19:53You mean because he sneezed four times, he's too weak to eat?
19:56Oh, I do hope he isn't going to start suffering with his allergy again.
20:01I never heard of an allergic dog.
20:03Rodney's another one of those unfortunate cases the doctors can diagnose but don't know how to cure.
20:09He is.
20:11It's a sort of combination of asthma and hay fever that overcomes him.
20:16And when it happens, all we can do is head straight for Maine.
20:22Straight to where?
20:24After all else had failed.
20:26The doctors recommended Rodney have a change of climate.
20:30The only place he could get any relief was Maine.
20:33Don't say.
20:34Rodney, darling, you're feeling better.
20:41Look, Hazel, it isn't his allergy after all.
20:45No, it isn't.
20:46Come here, baby.
20:48Mother will serve your breakfast right away before it gets cold.
20:51You want to buy what?
20:52That's right.
20:53Six of them.
20:54No, no, you better make it a dozen.
20:55And they've got to be in bloom.
20:56I guess I could find some for you in that vacant lot in back of the gas works, but I got to charge you for potting them.
21:11Oh, it'll be worth it.
21:13I'll pick them up this afternoon.
21:14What's she suddenly so happy about?
21:31suddenly so happy about it can't be she's learned to like serving breakfast in bed to a dog
