Ed: How come Alice found out about such a thing as television, Ralph? I thought you kept her in the dark about things like that. Well, if you're going to buy a television set then I guess what I came down to see you about is out. I was down pricing those television sets and they're pretty steep, pretty expensive. I can't afford one right now. I figured maybe I'd borrow a little money from you. |

Ed: I can't. They won't give me any more credit down there at the store. I got eighteen accounts going already. No, nineteen. I bought a water softener last week.Well, I guess just for the next two, three months I got to go without television. Boy, I'm going to miss it, too. I couldn't come at a worse time. Do you realize that tomorrow afternoon Captain Video takes off for Pluto? |

Ralph: Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute, I got the solution to the whole thing. Look, you haven't got enough money to buy a set. I haven't got enough money to buy a set. But if we put our money together, we got enough dough to get a great set. It solves the whole problem. You can see Captain Video. I can go bowling. And Alice can sit around here watching television all day if she wants. |

Ed: I gotta go along with you, Ralph. The whole route, all the way, except for one thing. How come automatically the television set lands down here instead of up there? Ralph: I've seen some babies in my day, but you are the champ. Alright, we'll flip a coin to see where the television set goes. Give me a coin. Alright. Heads I win, tails you lose. Right? Tails, you lose. |
