00:00And now, here's Fanny Bright in her incomparable characterization of that unbelievable child, Baby Snooks.

00:10Tonight, Daddy Snooks, played by Hanley Stafford, is in a bad way.

00:14He went to a stag affair at his lodge last night and is now trying to recover from his horrible after-effects of the wassail bowl.

00:19He is resting in his study as Baby Snooks enters.

00:22Let's hear you groan, Daddy.

00:23Oh, my head.

00:27Oh.

00:28Oh, Daddy.

00:30Oh, you're here.

00:33Go away, Snooks.

00:34Daddy's trying to rest.

00:36What are you laughing at?

00:38Because you're wearing that funny hat.

00:40It's not a funny hat.

00:41It's an ice bag.

00:42It looks like a funny hat.

00:44Well, it's not.

00:45Only crazy people wear funny hats.

00:47Crazy people?

00:48Yes.

00:49And this thing on my head is an ice bag.

00:51Are you hot?

00:52No, I'm not hot.

00:54I've got chills.

00:55From the ice bag?

00:56No, I've got chills because I have a fever.

00:59Uh-huh.

01:00My temperature's high, so my resistance is low.

01:03And when my body heat rises, it makes me feel cold and I'm really very warm.

01:06Can I get you the funny hat, Daddy?

01:10I don't want any funny hats.

01:13And leave me alone.

01:13My head is splitting.

01:15Oh.

01:16Why is your head splitting, Daddy?

01:18Oh, because I...

01:19Because I worked too late in the office last night.

01:22Oh.

01:23How was your smoker, Daddy?

01:26All right, you little snooper.

01:28So I went to a smoker.

01:29And don't ask me to tell you what a smoker is.

01:31And don't bother me at all.

01:32Just get out of here.

01:34All right.

01:34Oh.

01:35Oh, my stomach.

01:37Am I sick?

01:38Daddy.

01:39Oh.

01:40What do you want?

01:41How'd you get sick?

01:43Oh, well.

01:45At this party last night, there was so much smoke that it got into my lungs.

01:50Paws is heavy.

01:51Now do you know what's the matter with me?

01:53Uh-huh.

01:54You got a hangover.

01:57Look.

01:58What are you saying?

01:59That's what Mommy said on the phone.

02:01Oh, she did, eh?

02:03Big blabbermouth.

02:05Huh?

02:06Nothing.

02:07Go away and let me get some sleep.

02:09All right.

02:10Oh.

02:11Oh.

02:13Daddy.

02:13Oh, don't do that.

02:15Do what, Daddy?

02:16Yell in my ear like that.

02:17Huh?

02:17Yell in my ear.

02:18All right.

02:19All right.

02:20Oh.

02:21My head.

02:22Why?

02:22What are you doing to me?

02:24You told me you're yelling in your ear.

02:26Look.

02:26Please, leave me alone for a half an hour.

02:29Just one half hour.

02:31Please.

02:32All right.

02:33Bye.

02:34Oh.

02:34Now what is it?

02:36Where did you go last night?

02:37To my large.

02:38It was our annual smoker.

02:40Did you take Mommy?

02:41No.

02:41Why?

02:43Because no women are allowed there.

02:44Only elk.

02:45Then why did you go?

02:47Because I'm an elk.

02:49Huh?

02:50I said I'm an elk.

02:51Ah!

02:52What are you whoring about?

02:55Because I think you're crazy.

02:58Oh, what's crazy about my being an elk?

03:00A lot of people are elves.

03:02Oh.

03:04My boss is not only an elk.

03:05He's a lion, a moose, and an eagle.

03:09How much does it cost to see him?

03:13It doesn't cost anything.

03:15Those are the lodges he belongs to.

03:17Now run along and let Daddy's headache get better.

03:20I'll go if you buy me an ice cream cone.

03:22Oh, ice cream.

03:24You can't have any ice cream cone.

03:27Don't cut my head like that.

03:29I want an ice cream cone.

03:30I can't afford it.

03:32I work too hard for my money.

03:34I'm too rich, Daddy.

03:36No, I'm not rich.

03:37That is not in cash.

03:39But I'm wealthy in other things, I guess.

03:41Oh, my head.

03:43What are you wealthy in, Daddy?

03:45Well, I have your mother and you.

03:49And your baby sister.

03:50I place a great value in all of you.

03:52How much?

03:54Oh, I don't know.

03:55I guess I rate you as a million dollars, your mother as a million, and the baby as half a million.

04:00Oh.

04:01Daddy.

04:02What?

04:03Sell the baby and buy me an ice cream cone.

04:05Now, listen, you're old enough to learn not to ask for so many things and to give a little more.

04:12Give what, Daddy?

04:14Well, for instance, you have a lot of toys.

04:16Mm-hmm.

04:16Only last month you got that great big doll for a present.

04:19You mean the one that Uncle Louie sent me?

04:21Yes.

04:22And that poor little Smith girl down the street has no toys and no Uncle Louie to send her any.

04:27Mm-hmm.

04:28Now, wouldn't you like to give her that doll?

04:30No.

04:31Well, what would you like to give her?

04:32Uncle Louie.

04:33Look, I'm afraid you're not imbued with this phrase of charity.

04:38I want you to grow up and be loved by everybody.

04:40Be kind and generous.

04:41Mm-hmm.

04:42You'll be much happier, too.

04:43You'll learn what a wonderful thrill there is in giving.

04:46Much greater than receiving.

04:47Mm-hmm.

04:48Do you know why I'm telling you all these things?

04:50Mm-hmm.

04:51Why?

04:52Because you don't want to buy me an ice cream cone.

04:54That's not it at all.

04:56I thought maybe you'd remember that Sunday is Father's Day.

04:59And, uh, well, you might buy me a little present.

05:04All right, Daddy.

05:05Would you like me to buy your chocolate cake?

05:07Oh, no.

05:09Wait, what present?

05:10Oh, stop that.

05:11Wait, marshmallow?

05:12Oh, I'm sick.

05:14Snooks, don't mention food.

05:15Why?

05:16What shall I buy you, Daddy?

05:18Oh, anything.

05:18Go away now.

05:19Let me pull myself together.

05:20All right.

05:21I see how much money I got my little piggyback.

05:24Yes, yes.

05:25Oh, thank heaven.

05:28Now maybe I'll rest.

05:30Snooks, what's all that noise?

05:33I lost the feet of my bank, and I've got to break it up.

05:36Oh, don't go now, please.

05:40Oh.

05:41I've got it open, Daddy.

05:42Oh, good.

05:43Now leave me alone.

05:44All right.

05:45You know what I'm going to buy you for Friday's day?

05:48No, what?

05:50A new watch.

05:51Oh, that's silly.

05:52I've already got a beautiful watch.

05:55No, you ain't, Daddy.

05:57Why do you say that?

05:58Because I just used to break open my back.

06:01What?

06:02Why, you little vandal, take that.

06:10Boy, oh, boy, can that Henry Stafford take it.

06:14Incidentally, incidentally, I have a wire from the National Father's Day Committee,

06:19quote, condolences to the most patient father of the most precocious child in America, end

06:24quote.

06:24I certainly agree with him.

06:25So, thank you.

06:31All right.

06:34All right.

06:35We'll take the picture.

06:35Bye.
