00:00The Aldrich family, based on characters originated by Clifford Goldsmith, and starring Ezra Stone as Henry, with Jackie Kelk as Homer.
00:09Henry! Henry Aldrich!
00:12Coming, Mother!
00:13The Aldrich!
00:44You are, Father? You really are?
00:47Certainly, Mary. May I ask what's so unusual about taking your mother to a masquerade on New Year's Eve?
00:52But, Father, did you know that people dance at masquerades?
00:55Certainly I know.
00:56Oh.
00:57What do you mean, oh?
00:59Nothing.
00:59Mary!
01:00I'll be right back, Father.
01:02All right, Mary. Take your time.
01:03Where are you, Mother?
01:04In the dining room. And, dear, I was just wondering how you and Kermit were going to spend this evening.
01:09Didn't I tell you, Mother? Oh, my goodness, I'm so thrilled.
01:12Really?
01:12I guess Kermit's just about the most thoughtful person in the whole world.
01:17My, where's he taking you?
01:18No place.
01:20No place?
01:21He's just coming over here, where we can be all by ourselves with just each other.
01:24What? Isn't that thoughtful of him?
01:27Well, yes, dear, of course.
01:29Oh, goodness, when I think of all the poor girls whose boyfriends can't think of anything better to do than throw their money around and never get a romantic thought in their lives.
01:38My, doesn't your heart bleed for them?
01:40It certainly does, Mary.
01:41And I know just how you feel.
01:43Your father was always very thoughtful that way, too.
01:47Oh, really?
01:48Did you know he's planning on actually dancing tonight?
01:51Dear, your father's been dancing for 25 years.
01:54That's what I mean.
01:55Wouldn't you think he'd get tired?
01:56Oh, goodness, I never thought of that.
01:59I wonder...
02:01Excuse me, Mary.
02:02Oh, Sam, do you think I should bake something for Kermit?
02:05As long as you stick to macaroons, Mary.
02:08Alice, I'm trying to read.
02:09I know, dear, but I just got to thinking about...
02:13About what?
02:15Sam, are you sure you want to go to that masquerade tonight?
02:18Of course I'm sure.
02:18Why do you ask?
02:19Well, it's just...
02:21Are you sure you aren't getting tired?
02:24Tired?
02:24After all these years?
02:26Tired, Alice.
02:27These years with you have been the happiest of my life.
02:30What?
02:30Dear, I'm talking about the masquerade.
02:33Oh.
02:33Well, Alice, when you first mentioned the masquerade,
02:35I may not have been too enthusiastic,
02:37but now I'm really looking forward to it.
02:39You are, dear?
02:40Not only that, I promised I'd take you,
02:41and Alice, when I give my word, I keep it.
02:43Oh, father!
02:44Yes, Henry, I'm in the living room trying to read.
02:47You go right on with your reading, Sam.
02:48It's nice and restful for you.
02:50What, sir?
02:51Father, I've turned the whole house upside down,
02:53and you're my last hope.
02:54I am.
02:55Gee whiz, do you know where my shin pads are?
02:57Your shin pads?
02:58What do you want them for?
02:59I'm taking them to the hockey game tonight, father,
03:01and have them autographed.
03:02I'm afraid I haven't seen them, son.
03:03You haven't?
03:04By the way, father, what are you planning on wearing tonight?
03:07I don't know yet, Henry.
03:08Mr. and Mrs. Brown are looking out for the costumes.
03:11You're wearing a costume?
03:13Certainly.
03:14You are, father?
03:15You really are?
03:16Yes, I am, and I'm also going to dance.
03:19You are?
03:20I am.
03:22You're going to dance at a thing like a hockey game?
03:25What?
03:26Well, yeah, you know, the game you promised you to take me to tonight.
03:29When did I promise a thing like that?
03:30Why, just before Christmas, father,
03:33when you couldn't take me to that basketball game you promised.
03:35Well, yes, but...
03:36And you said the very next time there was a hockey game,
03:38no matter if the world came to an end, we'd go.
03:41Yes.
03:42Well, Henry...
03:44Henry, I just want you to know that there's nothing I'd rather do
03:48than take you to that hockey game.
03:50Boy, isn't it lucky I reminded you?
03:52Yes.
03:53Especially since I already turned down three different New Year's Eve parties.
03:57Oh, you did?
03:58Sure.
03:59And none of the kids would believe me
04:00when I told them how my father thought enough of me to...
04:03Henry...
04:03...to turn over the entire end of his old year to me.
04:08Henry, Henry, would you excuse me a minute?
04:11Sure, fine.
04:12Alice!
04:13Yes, Sam?
04:14Alice.
04:14Dear, the Browns didn't phone, did they?
04:16The Browns?
04:17They said they'd get all the costumes,
04:19and my goodness, it's the middle of the afternoon now.
04:21Alice, Alice, I just got a wonderful idea.
04:24You did, dear?
04:25Why don't we put on our coats and hats,
04:27say, next Saturday night,
04:29and go down to the mansion house for dinner.
04:31Why, Sam...
04:32And go dancing afterwards.
04:33You don't really make a night of it.
04:34Sam, you'd be...
04:35You'd like that?
04:37Like it?
04:37Why, Sam, I'd adore it.
04:39Fine.
04:40Then, Alice...
04:41And, dear, I think you get more thoughtful every day.
04:44Well...
04:44My goodness, how many husbands realize
04:47how tired we wives get eating our own cooking all the time?
04:50Alice, what I had in mind was that we would do that
04:53in place of going to the masquerade tonight.
04:56But, dear, I've been looking forward to this masquerade.
04:59Well, look, Alice, why don't we make a night of it
05:02not just next Saturday, but every Saturday night in the year?
05:05What?
05:05You know, make a regular date of it.
05:07My goodness!
05:08Instead of going to the masquerade tonight.
05:11Well, naturally, Sam, if you're feeling your age,
05:14of course I won't drag you out.
05:16Alice, I am not feeling my age.
05:18Well, dear, suddenly you do look awfully haggard.
05:20Mother, I can't find the coconut!
05:23I'll look for it, Mary.
05:24But, Alice...
05:26Oh, Henry!
05:29Yes, Father?
05:30Henry, you know, Henry,
05:32when I wasn't able to take you to that basketball game...
05:35Yes, sir.
05:35Well, that was a very good example
05:37of the way things have been in 1948.
05:40But not next year.
05:41No?
05:42No, sir.
05:42Next year, son, there's going to be a big change.
05:45You and I are going to be closer.
05:47We are?
05:47We are.
05:48Gee, that's swell, Father.
05:50And, boy, what a swell way to start the new year off.
05:53Going to a hockey game together.
05:56Well, this is still 1948, Henry.
05:59Why start a new regime tonight?
06:00Why not start it, say, any night next week that you name?
06:04Next?
06:05Well, sure, but...
06:06And we'll go out on the town and have the time of our lives.
06:08We will?
06:09Absolutely.
06:09Even if...
06:10Even if...
06:11Even if the world comes to an end?
06:14Uh, yes.
06:16Well, sure, that's okay, Father.
06:19Fine.
06:20Now, you're sure, are you, son?
06:22Sure.
06:23Sure that that's what you'd rather do?
06:25I mean, I don't want to appear to be forcing you into anything.
06:28No, it's okay, Father.
06:30After all, hockey is rather a strenuous form of amusement for a man of my age.
06:34Well, I mean...
06:35Sure, Father, I understand.
06:37You really do?
06:38Well, I'll find somebody younger to go with.
06:41But, Homer...
06:52Homer, are you still there?
06:54Sure.
06:54Well, how about it?
06:55Nothing doing, Henry.
06:57But, look, Homer, who really wants to go to Willie's party on New Year's Eve?
07:01I do.
07:02Gee, you sit around, play stupid games, wear your feet out dancing,
07:06and watch a lot of dumb girls watching you to see if you're watching them.
07:11What?
07:12But, boy, you go to a hockey game, see?
07:14And there are all these swell players, and there's this little piece of rubber.
07:18Sure, and all they do is chase it around.
07:20Homer, they do a lot more than that.
07:22Boy, they trip up each other with their sticks and push each other into the sideboards.
07:26Sometimes a player even lands in your lap.
07:29In my lap?
07:30Sure.
07:30No kidding.
07:31Sure.
07:31I'd rather go to the party.
07:34But, Homer...
07:35And you can go to the hockey game.
07:37All by myself?
07:38Sure.
07:39Just think, you'd have one seat to sit in, one seat for any player that might land there.
07:44Gee, that wouldn't be any fun.
07:46Well, I'd like to bum around with you, Han.
07:48Only, gee, a hockey game.
07:50Isn't there anything you'd rather do than go to Willie's party?
07:54Well, what I'd really like is to go to that masquerade.
07:57The masquerade?
07:58Sure, that our folks are going to.
07:59Gee, they're giving prizes and everything.
08:02Well, then why don't we both go?
08:03You need money to rent costumes.
08:05Look, Homer, my father gave me an extra dollar, and if I could sell my hockey tickets, I'd have enough money.
08:11How could you sell them at this late date?
08:14Everybody will have plans.
08:15For the sake of your New Year, Homer, the least I can do is try.
08:30Hello?
08:30Hello, Sam.
08:31Oh, hello there, Will.
08:32Everything all set for the masquerade?
08:34You betcha, Sam.
08:35Fine.
08:36Just the thought of getting out on the dance floor makes me feel like a boy again.
08:39Sam, I phoned to tell you we have the costumes.
08:41Good.
08:42What are they?
08:43We're going as the four seasons of the year.
08:45Say, that's a darn good idea, Will.
08:47You're winter.
08:48What?
08:49You're winter, Sam.
08:51Oh, I am?
08:52You wear a long white beard, see, and you even have a cane.
08:55A cane, huh?
08:56Sure.
08:56So you won't even have to dance, Sam.
08:58All you have to do is hobble around all evening.
09:01I see.
09:02Well, well, that's just great.
09:04I'm glad you like the idea, Sam.
09:06Oh, I do.
09:07I do indeed.
09:09What are you, Will?
09:10I'm Summer.
09:11Summer, I see.
09:13Well, so long.
09:13We'll get together later and try the costumes on.
09:16Fine.
09:16Goodbye, Will.
09:17Oh, Alice.
09:18Yes, Sam.
09:20Alice, how old is Will Brown?
09:21Why, I'm not sure.
09:23Isn't he a couple of years older than I am?
09:25Yes, I believe he is.
09:26Why?
09:27What's the matter?
09:28Nothing, Alice.
09:29Nothing at all.
09:30But, Homer, listen to reason.
09:40Henry, stand aside.
09:41Where are you going?
09:42Who?
09:42But, Homer, it's the only costume he has left.
09:45It isn't my fault.
09:46It isn't my fault either, and I refuse to have anything to do with it.
09:50But I've already sold my hockey tickets, Homer, and you promised you'd go to the masquerade with me.
09:55Not in this costume.
09:56I can't go in and alone.
09:58Listen, Henry, I'm not being the back end of any horse, and that's that.
10:02Is that all that's worrying you?
10:04Look, you can be the front end.
10:06No, I'm not starting the new year by being any part of a horse.
10:10But, Homer, you...
10:10Henry, I said no.
10:12Do you think I want to dance with you all evening back to front?
10:23Sam, what are you trying to say?
10:25Simply this, Alice, that some time ago, I gave Henry my word I'd go to a hockey game with him this evening.
10:30But, Sam, what about the Browns?
10:32That's unfortunate, Alice, but the more I think about it, the more I feel my first duty is to my son.
10:36But think of how disappointed they'll be.
10:38I know, and I'm sorry, but they'll just have to find themselves another winter.
10:42Sam, what do you mean?
10:43Well, I... nothing.
10:45And what about me, dear?
10:46Alice, I'm sorry about that, but I'll make it up to you next week.
10:49Dear, do you mean I have to stay home tonight with Mary and Kermit?
10:52Mother, you do, right here in this house?
10:54Yes, Mary.
10:55You mean right in the living room?
10:57Excuse me, I'd better phone the Browns.
10:58But, Mother...
10:59That's all right, Mary.
11:00I won't bother you and Kermit.
11:02I can fix myself up very comfortably in the kitchen.
11:05In the kitchen?
11:06I'll be fine, Mary.
11:07I'll take an armchair out there and just nib.
11:10My goodness, we wouldn't think of letting you do a thing like that.
11:13Well, Mary, if you really don't object...
11:16Kermit will bring the radio out in the kitchen for you.
11:19Mary, do you mean to say you'd really banish your own mother to the kitchen on New Year's Eve?
11:25Mother!
11:26Yes, Henry?
11:27Has anyone phoned for me while I was out?
11:29No, dear.
11:30No one at all?
11:31Not even Homer?
11:32No, Henry.
11:33Oh.
11:33Henry!
11:34Yes, Father?
11:35Oh, come in here, please.
11:36I've been looking for you.
11:36Mother, you don't understand.
11:38Yes, I do, Mary.
11:39I understand perfectly.
11:40Henry, I have news for you.
11:42You mean Homer changed his mind about going with me?
11:44Henry, I'm going with you.
11:46You are?
11:46Yes, sir.
11:47I've managed to change my other plans, and, son, you can count me in.
11:50I can?
11:51That's definite, Father.
11:53It is.
11:53I may have been forced to go back on my word a few times in the past, but not anymore, Henry.
11:57Oh, boy, then let's try it on.
12:00Try what on?
12:00The costume.
12:01What?
12:02I have it right out in the hall, Father, and, boy, it's the best darn looking horse you
12:06ever saw.
12:07Horse?
12:08Now, wait a minute.
12:08I thought we were going to a hockey game.
12:10Not anymore, Father.
12:11We're going to the masquerade instead as a horse.
12:13Now, wait.
12:14You're in the back end.
12:16Now, wait.
12:17You just promised, Father.
12:18I know, but I thought, Henry, you don't expect me to walk around all evening bent over
12:23double.
12:23But, Father...
12:24I'm not a young man, Henry.
12:26Father, you mean you're backing out again?
12:28No, but...
12:29After you said we were going to be closer?
12:32This year?
12:32Not that close.
12:33Oh.
12:38Thank you, sir.
12:39Yes, getting back to the troubles of Henry Aldrich.
12:58Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich had made arrangements to attend a New Year's Eve masquerade with the Browns
13:02when Henry informed his father of a promise to take him to a hockey game tonight.
13:07Due to his efforts to keep his word to everyone,
13:10Mr. Aldrich has now wound up as the hind end of a horse.
13:15The scene opens in the Browns' living room.
13:17It is late the same afternoon.
13:19Mother, would you phone Willie Marshall for me?
13:22What for, Homer?
13:23And tell him it looks as though I'm going to recover and I'll be able to go to his party tonight after all.
13:27Recover from what?
13:28My pneumonia, my pneumonia.
13:30What pneumonia?
13:31My mother.
13:32He thinks I'm staying home with pneumonia instead of going to his New Year's party.
13:36You're not going to Willie's party?
13:38I told him I wasn't, but gee whiz, I'll be darned if I'll be a whore.
13:42Homer, just because you're a whore, there's no reason to think you're coming down with pneumonia.
13:46What?
13:46Just go and gargle, dear.
13:48But, Mother, Homer, do as you're told.
13:50Can't you see I'm busy thinking?
13:51Oh, okay, but gargling isn't going to straighten me out with Willie.
13:55Dear, you just have to have faith.
13:57Faith?
13:58I know, but...
13:59Out of my way.
14:01Oh, Mother, Mother.
14:03Homer, what's the matter?
14:04Mother, there's a tree out in our hall.
14:06A tree?
14:07And it spoke to me.
14:08Oh, dear, that's no tree.
14:10That's your father.
14:11Why?
14:12And get off my lap.
14:14Here I am, Elizabeth.
14:15How do I look?
14:16Father, is that really you?
14:18Sure, I'm Summer.
14:19You're what?
14:20I'm Summer.
14:21Summer.
14:22Oh, boy.
14:24Will, stop fooling around with that costume and help me find a spring and winter.
14:28Who?
14:28Spring and winter, dear.
14:29They're just backed out.
14:30What's that?
14:31Gee whiz, I'm going upstairs and right there.
14:34Elizabeth, what do you mean they've backed out?
14:35Will, the Aldrich has suddenly decided they can't come to the masquerade tonight.
14:39Well, that's a fine thing.
14:40Now, Will, calm down.
14:41You're shedding your leaves.
14:44There's the phone.
14:45But, Elizabeth, what are we going to do?
14:47We can't go just this food season.
14:49Will, I've been trying to think how we could convert our costumes, but I'm afraid it's
14:52hopeless.
14:53Oh, hello.
14:55Oh, hello, Elizabeth.
14:56This is Sam Ulrich.
14:57Oh, Sam, you'll never know how disappointed we are.
14:59Well, that's what I called about.
15:00Even if I can't make it, do you think you could still fit Alice in as spring?
15:05Well, the only thing is, Sam, wouldn't the three of us look a little awkward without winter?
15:10Nonsense, Elizabeth.
15:11If there's one season you can dispense with, it's certainly winter.
15:14Well, maybe we could work out something.
15:16Oh, I'd appreciate it, Elizabeth.
15:17Goodbye.
15:17Goodbye.
15:18Elizabeth, was that Sam on the phone?
15:20Yes, he wants to know we could fit Alice in as spring.
15:23You mean all by herself?
15:24But who'll we get as winter?
15:26I haven't any idea.
15:28Unless...
15:28Yeah?
15:29Will, I've got it.
15:30What?
15:31He's not going anywhere tonight.
15:32Oh, Homer!
15:33Yes, Mother?
15:34Come down here and try on this beard.
15:45Father, could you hold the horse's tail still a minute?
15:49Henry, what are you doing?
15:50Well, the trouble is, when I put my head in first, my feet won't go in.
15:55Why putting your feet in first?
15:57Are your feet in, Father?
15:58Yes.
15:58Maybe I should sort of bend over.
16:01Father, what happened?
16:03The hind legs are sticking straight up in the air.
16:06Yes, and I'm on my back.
16:08Well, maybe that's the way to do it.
16:10We both lie on our back seat and stick all our four feet up in the air.
16:14Now, wait a minute.
16:15Gee, isn't this going to be fun, Father?
16:18Sam, will you please answer the phone?
16:20Well, I'll try.
16:21I'll get it, Father.
16:22Henry, stop pulling my leg.
16:24That's my leg, Father.
16:26Now, look.
16:26That's your leg over there.
16:28It is?
16:29Well, whose arm is this?
16:31Now, wait.
16:32Now, wait.
16:32Isn't anybody going to answer the phone?
16:34Now, Henry, let's take one leg at a time.
16:37Hello?
16:38Hello.
16:39Is that you, Mary?
16:40Yes.
16:41Is that you, Kermit?
16:42Yes.
16:43Hello.
16:43Hello?
16:45My, it was nice of you to phone.
16:47Mary, I have some news for you.
16:49You have?
16:49I have news for you, too, Kermit.
16:51You have?
16:52What is it?
16:52You tell me yours.
16:53No, you tell me yours.
16:55No, you.
16:56Well?
16:57Well, first of all, I made something wonderful for you to eat tonight.
17:00You did?
17:01That's wonderful because, frankly, Mary, I am getting a little tired of macaroons.
17:05Oh.
17:06Oh, my goodness.
17:07And not that I'm not crazy about your macaroons, Mary.
17:09Well, that's all right, Kermit.
17:10Goodbye.
17:11You're leaving?
17:11Yes, I have to go, and that is, yes.
17:14But, Mary, I haven't told you my news.
17:16Well, could you tell me quickly?
17:17Sure.
17:18We're going to a hockey game tonight.
17:20A hockey game?
17:21Yeah, I guess who sold me the ticket.
17:23Kermit, a hockey game on New Year's Eve?
17:25Yeah, isn't that swell?
17:27Mary?
17:29Mary, are you there?
17:30Yes, but, my goodness, I was looking forward to...
17:33To what?
17:35Kermit, if you don't know, I'm certainly not going to tell you in goodbye.
17:38Mary, what's all the commotion out here?
17:40Father, I think you men are just hateful.
17:42What?
17:42You're all the same, every one of you.
17:45Mary, what did I do now?
17:47Well, I think I've got that horse licked, Father.
17:49Henry, you can forget about that horse.
17:51Forget about it?
17:51I can see your heart isn't in it, son.
17:53Now, where are those hockey tickets?
17:54I haven't got them.
17:55Forget them.
17:56When I say I'm going to take you to a hockey game, Henry, then that's what I'm going to do.
17:59But, Father...
17:59I'm not going to palm off a masquerade on you instead.
18:02But, Father, I can't get the hockey tickets.
18:04I sold them to Kermit.
18:05What?
18:06I see.
18:08Excuse me, Henry.
18:10Father, you mean you're going to change your mind again?
18:13Alice?
18:13I'm in the kitchen, Sam.
18:15Well, look.
18:16Would you like one of Mary's macaroons, dear?
18:18No, thank you.
18:19Alice, I've been thinking it over.
18:21Thinking what over?
18:22And while I made a promise to Henry, I also made a promise to you.
18:26Yes, but...
18:26Henry's young.
18:27He'll get over it.
18:28Whereas you...
18:29Whereas you...
18:31Whereas I what?
18:32Alice, would you explain to Henry that you insist I go to the masquerade with you?
18:37But, dear, I can't.
18:38You can't what?
18:39I can't insist now.
18:40What do you mean?
18:41Elizabeth just phoned me and I'm going with someone else.
18:44What?
18:45Alice, do you mean to say you're going out tonight with some other man?
18:48Well...
18:48Who is he?
18:50Frankly, dear, I don't know.
18:51Elizabeth said it would be a surprise.
18:53That's pretty unbelievable.
18:54Why, Sam, you're jealous.
18:56Jealous?
18:56I am not.
18:57Now, dear, you haven't a thing to worry about.
19:00Alice, you're to call the whole thing off immediately.
19:02But, Sam, I've given my word.
19:03Alice!
19:04And, dear, I'm sure that once I've made a promise, you wouldn't want me to break it off.
19:17Henry, everything's all settled.
19:18You and I are going to that masquerade as a horse.
19:21But, Father, I thought you didn't want to.
19:23Only I'm going as the front end, you understand, where I can keep an eye on, where I can watch,
19:28where I can see what's going on.
19:30But, gee whiz, Father, you're too late.
19:32What's that?
19:33Look, I just got the hockey tickets back from Kermit.
19:36The hockey tickets?
19:37Sure.
19:37I traded him something for them.
19:39Kermit Hannigan, you certainly have your nerve.
19:41But, Mary, you said you wanted us to be secluded.
19:43I've never been so insulted in all my life.
19:45But, Mary, you can be the front end.
19:48Just a minute.
19:50What's going on here?
19:52I can tell you, Father.
19:53Mr. Aldrich, would you try to explain something to Mary for me?
19:56Kermit, I'm not dumb.
19:57I don't need anything explained to me.
19:58Mr. Aldrich.
19:59I think I'll just stay out of there.
20:00But, Mr. Aldrich, you're better at managing women than I am.
20:03Oh, Sam.
20:03Who, I?
20:05Hello, everybody.
20:06How do you like my costume?
20:07It's very nice.
20:08Alex, I'm giving you one last chance here and now to break your date.
20:12Mother, you have a date?
20:13Yes, dear.
20:14With a man, Mrs. Aldrich?
20:15Well, Kermit, what's wrong with that?
20:17Yes, Kermit, with a man.
20:19Mother, a man?
20:20Hey, Mrs. Aldrich.
20:21Homer, we're busy.
20:23You are?
20:24You mean you can't go with me?
20:25Good heaven.
20:27Did you?
20:28Gee whiz, Homer.
20:29Where'd you get that beard?
20:31Homer, you mean you're...
20:33You're...
20:33Sure.
20:34I'm Winter.
20:37She's got a character.
20:38Are you laughing?
20:39Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
20:40Father
20:55Father, how do you feel now?
20:59How do I look, Henry?
21:01Frankly, terrible
21:02Then you know how I feel
21:04The only thing is, there's only about ten minutes left in 1948
21:08Yes?
21:09Wouldn't it be a better omen if you saw the new year in with a smile?
21:14Perhaps, you're right
21:15Father, you gonna sit up?
21:17I'm gonna try
21:18It's a darn good hockey game, wasn't it, Father?
21:21Yes, son, it was
21:23Until they carried me out
21:24Gee, that player who got thrown into your lap
21:28I think it did him good
21:30Well, I'm glad to hear it
21:31Sure, he just dusted himself off and jumped back on the ice and scored the winning goal
21:37Good for him
21:38Now, please hand me that steak again
21:41Sure
21:41And how's your eye coming along, Father?
21:45Gee whiz, there's the phone
21:46You stay right where you are, Father, old-timer
21:49Thank you, Henry
21:49Hello?
21:51Hello, Henry, how was the hockey game?
21:53Boy, Mother, it was the best one I ever went to
21:56How's the masquerade?
21:57Just lovely, dear
21:59Did you win the grand prize?
22:01No, dear, Homer upset the whole apple cart when he discovered his beard was made of spun sugar
22:05What happened?
22:08He ate it
22:09And, Henry, may I please speak to your father?
22:12Father, Mother wants you on the phone
22:14Mother, who did win the prize?
22:16Mary and Kermit, everyone thought they made a wonderful horse
22:19Is that your mother, Henry?
22:21Sure, Father
22:22Will you see who's at the door, son?
22:23Sure, Father
22:24Hello, Alice
22:25Sam, I just wanted to be the first one to say Happy New Year to you
22:29Why, thank you, Alice, and the same to you
22:31Are you having a good time?
22:33Frankly, dear, not as good a time as if you were here
22:36Alice, I'm going to make everything up to you
22:38I haven't forgotten the promise I made you
22:40Dear, you really mean we'll go out someplace every Saturday night for the whole year?
22:45Absolutely
22:46Well, my goodness, I'm certainly looking forward to 1949
22:50Father, Father
22:52Oh, just a minute, Alice
22:53Father, guess who was at the door?
22:55Who?
22:55The man from the hockey rink
22:57And he wanted to know how your black eye was
22:59Yes
23:00And just to show there's no hard feelings, look what he gave us
23:03A season pass to all the hockey games
23:06What's that?
23:07Every Saturday night for the whole year
23:09Every Saturday?
23:12Sam, it's midnight
23:13But, but
23:14Happy New Year, Sam
23:15Happy New Year, Father
23:17Yes
23:18Well, Happy New Year
