00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00Fine, I'll take it with me
01:01And further down the street, we hear...
01:03This is a beautiful handbag
01:04Good, wrap it up for me
01:06And still further down the street, where Mel Blanc is engaged in getting a gift for his girlfriend Betty, we hear...
01:11This is a beautiful watch
01:13Thanks, but can't you loan me more than five dollars on it?
01:18So Mel pawned the watch, and now we find him back in the fix-it shop figuring out the amount he has for Betty's gift
01:24Well, let's see, I borrowed five, I pawned the watch for five, I closed out my savings account at the bank
01:31That's another dollar
01:32Eleven dollars
01:35What can I get, Betty?
01:37Oh, I know, every time I go to her house and we sit in the parlor, the lights go out
01:41I ought to get her a flashlight
01:42No, a flashlight isn't a gift for a woman
01:46It isn't a gift for a man either
01:48It's really a gift for an usher
01:50Oh, well, it's late, I better close the fix-it shop and buy the gift
01:55Hello, Mel
01:57Oh, hello, Betty, I didn't expect to see you here
01:59I thought you'd be busy at your father's big Christmas party
02:02How's it coming along?
02:03Oh, fine, except for Willie Murdoch
02:05He's awfully fresh, you know, as soon as he came in he tried to kiss me
02:09Kiss you?
02:10Huh? Why, I'll kill him
02:11Gosh, Mel, you should see how strong Willie is since he took those barbell exercises
02:16Strong?
02:18Hmm
02:18Well, Betty, it's a free country, every man can do what he wants
02:21Oh, Mel, when you talk like that, I sometimes think you don't love me at all
02:27Oh, you know I do, Betty
02:28Gosh, if we were only married, how wonderful it would be
02:31Yes, every Christmas we'd have a tree
02:34And I'd come down the chimney and on the mantelpiece would be your stocking and my stocking
02:39And maybe another stocking, or two, or even three
02:43Betty, how many feet does your father have?
02:49Gee, I wish I'd been invited to your father's party
02:51Oh, well, Mel, that's what I came down here for
02:54To invite me?
02:54Yes, in fact, father said, Betty, I want to make it possible for Mel Blanc to feel the warmth of Christmas spirit
03:01Oh, I don't know, Betty, last time your father said that, he got me halfway to the furnace
03:05Don't be silly, darling
03:10Come on, they must be looking for me at the party
03:12Okay, Betty
03:13Oh, oh, wait a minute
03:14I've got to get something very important
03:16I'll tell you what, you go on and I'll be there in a short while, huh?
03:19Well, if it's that important, all right
03:21I'll see you later, darling
03:22Bye
03:22Oh, what can I get for Betty?
03:26Gosh, she sure is beautiful
03:28She looks just like the cover girl on this month's Drill Press Digest
03:32Miss Conveyor Belt of 1947
03:36Hello, Mel
03:40Oh, hello, Mrs. Bradley, and Merry Christmas
03:42What brings you in here at this late hour?
03:44Well, Mel, you've been so nice all year fixing all of little Bobby's broken toys
03:48That I thought I'd bring you a Christmas present
03:50Here
03:51Oh, gee, thanks, Mrs. Bradley
03:54Just what I've always wanted
03:55A dollar bill
03:57Oh, oh, there's some writing here
04:00To Mel
04:01A Merry Christmas and a Happy Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
04:05Oh, I'm reading your writing and the government's
04:08Well, I've got to close up, Mrs. Bradley
04:10A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
04:12Uh, what's the matter, Mrs. Bradley?
04:15Oh, I was just thinking
04:17You know, Mel, Bobby and I are alone
04:19And for the past few years we haven't had any Santa Claus come down our chimney
04:23Well, it's gotten so that Bobby doesn't believe there is a Santa Claus
04:27Oh, gosh, that's one of the worst things I know
04:29A kid not believing in Santa Claus
04:30Well, I've got to go, Mrs. Bradley
04:33Mel, I was just thinking that if you don't have anything important to do tonight
04:37Maybe you'd play Santa Claus for my Bobby
04:39Me? Play Santa?
04:41Mm-hmm
04:41Oh, but Mrs. Bradley, I've got a very important
04:43Oh
04:44No
04:44I don't have anything to do
04:47Anyway, not, not anything that's more important than making a kid believe in Santa Claus
04:51I'll come down that chimney tonight
04:53Oh, oh, Zookie
04:54Oh, that's wonderful
04:55Uh, yeah, Mel
04:57Oh, oh, hello, Mrs. Bradley
04:59Bradley
05:00Bradley
05:01Thanks
05:02Now, look, Zookie
05:04I want you to go over to Betty's house and tell her I'm sick
05:07But Mel
05:07What can he say is wrong with you?
05:09Anything
05:10Tell Betty I was bitten by a streptococcus
05:12No, no, she just saw me
05:19Oh, I know
05:19Tell her I'm in the hospital
05:21I tried to mail a package at the last minute
05:23Mrs. Bradley
05:26Tonight I'm going to convince your son that there is a Santa Claus
05:28Now, hurry up, Zookie
05:29Oh, thanks, Mel
05:31Oh, leave it to me, Mel
05:32Uh, hi, oh, still
05:33Hi, oh, still
05:34So who's
05:35Yes
05:36Yes
05:36Hi, oh, blitzing
05:38Oh, hello there, Zookie
05:51Hello, everybody
05:52Merry kiki
05:53Merry kiki
05:54Merry kiki
05:54Merry kiki
05:55Happy New Year
05:57Come on in, Zookie
05:59Right
06:00Well, how do you like me in my new dress, Sookie?
06:07Cute.
06:09Hey, everybody.
06:10You want to hear me sing a Christmas carol?
06:12Why, yes, Sookie.
06:13Go right ahead.
06:14Oh, okay, okay.
06:15In my merry oldsmobile, in my merry oldsmobile, in my merry oldsmobile, in my merry oldsmobile,
06:22in my merry oldsmobile, with a one-horse open sleigh.
06:30Hey, uh, hey, Sookie, where's Mel Blanc?
06:35Oh, uh, that's what I came to tell you.
06:37He can't come.
06:38He's got the moon, and the moon, and the moon, and the moon.
06:40He's got the, he's got chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken.
06:46He can't make up his mind what he's got.
06:49I don't know.
06:50Sounds very fishy to me.
06:52I wouldn't be surprised if he had a date with another girl.
06:55He has.
06:56I mean, you know.
06:58You mean he went out with another girl?
07:00Sookie, who is she?
07:01Well, she's a, I mean, there isn't any, he ain't going out with any, no, no.
07:07He, I, he, he, he, and besides, I promise not to tell.
07:17And he is going out with another girl.
07:19Ah, you see?
07:21What did I tell you, Mr. Colburn?
07:23Betty, I told you that, Mel Blanc's a scoundrel.
07:25Oh, I, I'm going to break every bone in his body.
07:28Oh, gee, well, where's, him, oh, well.
07:31Mel's in there, terrible, dear.
07:33He's doing somebody a favor, but I bet he thinks he's doing something.
07:40Let's sing Christmas carols.
07:41Well, Mel is in a jam again
07:57His girl Betty thinks he's out with another girl
07:59But actually, Mel has promised Willow Bradley
08:02He would play Santa Claus for her little son tonight
08:04But no matter how much trouble he has
08:07The wonderful thing about Mel is
08:09That he can always concentrate on his duties in the fix-it shop
08:12Right now, his brilliant mind tackles the difficult problem
08:15Of repairing a priceless violin left by a customer
08:18Gosh, why did I ever promise Mrs. Bradley I'd go to her house?
08:22With skilled fingers and expert eye
08:24He delicately tunes the sensitive instrument
08:26Well, I'm glad I did
08:30The most important thing I could do
08:32Is make a child believe in Santa Claus
08:33And now, having completed the masterful repairs
08:36He gently places the rare violin under his chin
08:39Raises the precious bow
08:41And draws it across the muted strings
08:43Nothing like classical music
08:55Gee, I gotta run over to Mrs. Bradley's
08:58I'll try to call Betty once more
09:00Hello?
09:05Hello, can I speak to Betty?
09:06Listen, Blank
09:07How many times do I must I tell you
09:09Betty doesn't want any part of you?
09:19But Willie
09:20All right, Willie, I'll talk to him
09:22So you are going out with another girl
09:25Now, Blank, I never want to see you again
09:31And furthermore, I would marry you on a bet
09:33Oh, Betty, you can't mean that
09:36You are going to be the mother of my children
09:38Well, it's too late
09:42Well, I don't mind about myself, Betty
09:44But what am I going to tell all those kids?
09:49Betty, if you don't give me a chance to explain
09:51I'll drown myself
09:52I'll go right out and throw myself in the reservoir
09:54I don't care
09:55Betty, do you realize you have to drink that water?
10:00You have nothing more to say to me, Mel Blank
10:02Goodbye
10:02Oh, who has time for petty arguments?
10:06I gotta go
10:07Got a big job to do today
10:08Uh-oh, here comes Mr. Cushing, my lodge president
10:11Hello, Mel
10:13Ug-g-g-a-boo, ug-g-a-boo-boo-ah-ga
10:14Greetings, mighty potentate
10:18Ug-g-g-a-boo, ug-g-a-boo-boo-ah-ga
10:19Well, what's the matter, mighty potentate?
10:21You're not looking so well
10:22Well, Mel, I woke up this morning on my left side
10:26Oh, what's so bad about that?
10:28That's the side that faces my wife
10:30Every morning I get up and there she is
10:35Yawning with her mouth wide open
10:36I tell you, Mel, it's like living in the Rose Bowl
10:40Oh, I don't know, mighty potentate
10:44You can find beauty in every person if you only dig deep enough
10:47Mel, I have no room in my garage for a steam shovel
10:50And now she's got that new mine detector in the house
10:55Mine detector?
10:56Yeah, every time I put my hand in a purse for some extra cash
10:59She yells, stop, that's mine
11:00What a woman
11:03If you'll pardon the expression
11:04But I don't know why I'm telling you all this
11:08It's just that I've got no one to talk to
11:11Well, slow down, Mel
11:14I suppose I'll see you at Colby's party
11:16Well, I'm not going there, mighty potentate
11:22I promised to play Santa Claus for Widow Bradley's boy Bobby
11:25Well, that's a noble gesture, my boy
11:27Well, I can't stop the talk now, Mel
11:29I've got to go to Colby's
11:30And I have to get a substitute present for my wife
11:32Well, but you told me you got her one last week
11:34Oh, I did
11:35I had it all Christmas, wrapped, I tied a red bow on it
11:37Put a do not open till X-mas sticker on it
11:39And I hid it under her bed
11:41Well, don't tell me she opened it before Christmas
11:43Yeah, during the night she heard the darn thing ticking
11:46Well, hello, Mel
11:49Goodbye, mighty potentate
11:53A merry boo and a happy new ugger to you
11:54Well, I've got to get a Santa Claus suit
11:58And go to Mrs. Bradley's now
11:59I never thought it would get me in so much trouble
12:02But it's worth it if I make that kid believe in Santa Claus
12:05Gosh, Mom, let's go to sleep
12:16It's 9.30 already
12:17Let's not be so hasty, Bobby
12:19What would you say if a man came down the chimney?
12:23I'd say, look, Mom, a burglar
12:24Well, I'm going upstairs anyway
12:27I'm tired
12:28Night, Mom
12:29Merry Christmas
12:30Oh, just a moment, Bobby
12:31I think I...
12:33Oh, dancer
12:33Oh, prancer
12:35Watch that first step
12:37Missed that first step
12:45Merry Christmas
12:48Merry Christmas, Bobby
12:49Hey, Mom, look
12:51What is it?
12:52That's Santa Claus, Bobby
12:53That's right, my boy
12:54It just came from my igloo
12:56Igloo?
12:57What's that?
12:58A Quonset hut made out of ice cubes
13:00Oh, it was cold and barren, but I was lucky to get it
13:05It was formerly owned by a veteran
13:07Mom, he really is Santa Claus
13:09I told you, Bobby, there really is a Santa Claus
13:13Only one?
13:14Why, there are hundreds all over the world
13:16In fact, I just came from the Santa Claus Convention at the North Pole
13:20A Santa Claus Convention?
13:22Yes?
13:23You should have heard the Scandinavian Santa Claus
13:26He said, by yomp and yimmini
13:28We're going to make all the little girls and boys very happy
13:31So, Merry Christmas and a happy new smorgasbord
13:35And the Santa Claus from Scotland got up and he said
13:39How I ever become a Santa Claus, I'll never know
13:43All I do is give things away
13:45It ain't likely
13:49Then the fellow from Italy got up
13:51They have a Santa Claus in Italy, too?
13:53Sure, Giuseppe Claus
13:55He got up and he said
13:57I've got to do the worst job of all
14:00It's a break in my back
14:01To carry this stuff
14:03Every house you got to turn the bambinos
14:05I've got to put on more help
14:08Either that or my sled
14:10She's got to have a trailer
14:11And the Brazilian Santa Claus said to the convention
14:15I hope you all have a very good Christmas
14:18And a happy new year
14:20We're going to make all the kiddies very happy
14:23Because our slogan is
14:25South America, give it away
14:27And then the convention was closed by the Russian delegate
14:33And he sang
14:34Santa, do you have any toys for me?
14:51Oh, Bobby, we mustn't ask for everything
14:54You have your old toys
14:55It isn't necessary for Santa to bring new
14:57Oh, that's quite all right, Mrs. Bradley
14:59I have plenty of toys for Bobby
15:01You have?
15:02Why, sure, I'll take them out of my bag
15:04Here's roller skates
15:06A water pistol
15:07A chemical set
15:09And a hockey stick
15:11Oh, see me
15:12Now, let's see now
15:13Yep, $11 worth
15:14Gee, Mom, we've got everything this Christmas
15:18Oh, yes, Bobby
15:18Thank you, Santa
15:19I wish we could have a big party for you, Santa
15:22Oh, that's quite all right
15:23We're having a great party right here
15:25Let's sing, huh?
15:26Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
15:29Oh, what fun it is to ride
15:31I wonder what Betty's doing right now
15:33Oh, come in
15:35Well, hello
15:37Merry Christmas
15:38Hello, Bobby
15:39Merry Christmas
15:40It's Mr. Cushing and Mr. Colby
15:42Betty
15:43Now, darling, why didn't you tell us Mr. Cushing explained everything?
15:47That's right, Mel, and I feel good
15:50I almost feel good enough to go home and kiss my wife
15:53Blindfolded, of course
15:55Mel, my boy, you've done a wonderful thing
15:59You wouldn't come to our party, so he brought the party to you
16:01Oh, and here's some gifts for Bobby
16:03Uh, Drungus Brown, didn't you have something?
16:05Oh, yeah
16:05Here, Bobby, my boy
16:07A hundred of them
16:08And each one good for a soda
16:09Gee, thanks, Mr. Brown
16:11A box of straws
16:13Oh, this is so wonderful
16:19Everybody's here
16:20The mayor, the chief of police, the...
16:22Hey, where's Willie Murdoch?
16:24That troublemaker
16:25I fired him
16:26What's more, I was gonna break every bone in his body
16:29On Christmas, Mr. Colby?
16:30Well, I thought of that, Mel
16:31So I just broke every other bone
16:33Gosh, Betty, that was a wonderful party, wasn't it?
16:44You were wonderful, Mel
16:46This is the best Christmas I've ever had
16:48Yeah, except for one thing
16:49You got me a gift, and I haven't got a present for you
16:52Oh, that's all right, darling
16:54I know what you did with the money
16:55And I'm gonna give you a hug for the hockey stick
16:57For the water pistol
16:58For the chemical set
17:00And two hugs for the roller skate
17:02Why didn't I get Bobby that bag of jelly beans?
17:07Oh, wait a minute, Betty
17:08I do have a Christmas present for you
17:10You do? What is it?
17:12Come closer
17:12Oh, Mel
17:16Everybody's looking and listening
17:21Listening?
17:22Where?
17:23Can't you see the microphone there?
17:25Oh, gosh
17:26You can't do a thing around here
17:28Without millions of people listening in
17:29Well, we hope you keep on
