He's not only good -looking.

He is, without a doubt, the smartest
person I know.

Oh, what a brain.

Hey, what'd you do? Give up football
players? Who's your boyfriend with a

Oh, Uncle Bill, I'm talking about you.

Oh, me. I'll call you back, Sherry.

A messenger just brought it a few
minutes ago.

You didn't tell us you got such a
wonderful award at the banquet last

Yeah, not bad, is it?

Not bad?

Oh, you're too modest.

It's going right over there in place of
that Greek sculpture.

Oh, you're not putting that thing over
there. I paid a thousand drachmas for

that in Greece.

Well, it's going in the den.

Okay.

Buffy, Jody!

Oh, they're not here. Mr. Finch took
them to the Punch and Judy show.

Well, it's his Thursday. It's his day
off.

You know the twins.

When they go to work on somebody, who
can resist them?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who?

Hi, Uncle Bill!

Well,

I see they talked you into giving up
your Thursday.

Oh, well, there was a slight
rearrangement of plans, sir, but Buffy

most persuasive.

So I noticed.

You should have been with us, Uncle
Bill.

Punch sure bopped Judy around.

Then the devil bopped Punch around.

Buffy, young ladies of breeding do not
say bop.

Hey, let's go watch Captain Hippopotamus
in the den.

Come on.

Children, there'll be no television
until you've washed thoroughly.

Now, uh...

If you'll excuse me, sir, I'll start
dinner. Now, just a minute. I want to

to you about that.

In the first place, don't ever let them
talk you into giving up your day off

again. I didn't mind, sir.

I know that, French. That's not the
point. The point is that we can't let

start running our lives.

But they're nice children, sir.

Sure they are, and that's just why we
shouldn't spoil them.

You may now watch Captain Hippopotamus.

Oh, boy!

Uncle Bill, will you read some more
Wizard of Oz to us after dinner?

You do the cowardly lies real good.

Yeah.

No, no, I'm sorry. I can't do it
tonight, kids. I'm going to be real

I'm going to be awful busy.

Go on. Go on, Scoop, now.

a dog.

It's the proper thing to do, sir.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Had to do it, French.

Hey, you guys, look at the trophy Uncle
Bill got.

It's real pretty.

What's a trophy?

Well, it's kind of like an award you get
if you're real good at something.

Like in school when the teacher gives
you a star for spelling?

Yeah, well, something like that.

Come here and look at this.

The best achievement in construction
engineering.

William Davis.

Who gave it to him?

A group of people who wanted to show
their appreciation.

Uncle Bill's the best builder, all
right.

Jody, why don't you and me give him an
award to show our appreciation?

For being the best uncle?

The best there ever was.

Yeah, that'd be neat.

I could borrow some modeling clay.

From Peter Upstairs.

We'll start on it tonight, right after
dinner.

We can't make it like a building, Buffy.

What do we make it like?

Is this in Mr.

French?

Nobody will keep it a secret between us.

I'm going to make the card that says...

Sit up here with your sister.

I got something I want to say to both of
you.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

It's about what happened this afternoon.

What happened this afternoon?

We went to the puppet show.

I know you went to the puppet show.

And you talked Mr.

French into taking you there on his day
off, and that was not a nice thing to

do.

Now, you kids have just got to quit
thinking about yourselves all the time.

know, us grown -ups have things we want
to do, too.

Like, for instance, next Sunday
afternoon, I'm not going to be around

any outings.

I'm going to play golf all afternoon, so
taking you to the zoo is out. Is that

clear?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Okay. I'll be back later to say
goodnight.

You don't have to if you're busy.

I'm not going to be that busy.

Me neither.

I thought Uncle Bill liked it.

What are you doing that for?

What?

Scratching.

I feel kind of itchy.

French, I'm going to eat at the club
this morning. I got one of those

breakfast things.

I'll see you tonight, kids.

Okay. Mr.

Davis, may we have a word with you,
please?

Not that I'm a worrywart, sir, but I'm
somewhat concerned about Master Jody's

itch.

How long has he been doing that?

Well, I first noticed it last night,
sir, whilst tucking him into bed.

Oh, it's probably nothing. Just to be on
the safe side, you better take him to

the pediatrician after school.

Oh, I think that'd be very wise, sir. As
my father used to say, never wait till

tomorrow to be sorry for what happened
yesterday.

What's that mean exactly?

Well, I'm not quite sure, sir, but it
almost sounded most profound the way he

said it.

Ah, good afternoon.

I believe we have an appointment for Dr.

Felsen. Oh, yes, Mr. French.

How are you, Jody?

Buffy, are you here for your booster
shots?

We got boosted last month.

Jody, it's just something terrible.

Show her, Jody.

Jody, there's no need for a
demonstration.

You may go in now, Mr. French.

Thank you.

Oh, Buffy, you wait here.

It's most baffling, Doctor. He's been
scratching incessantly since last night.

How does he describe the itch?

He tells us it's a very itchy itch. I
doubt if that's much help medically.

Temperature is perfectly normal.

Jody, would you wait outside for a
moment? I want to speak to Mr. French.

Okay.

He's a lollipop.

Can I have one for my sister?

To Buffy with my compliments.

Thank you.

I'll have to make some patch tests on
him beginning Monday.

Patch tests?

You may leave, Jody.

Yes, sir.

Your lollipop.

Mmm, strawberry.

Did the doctor give you any medicine?

Uh -uh.

He's just going to test me for patches.

You got patches?

That's what he said.

Well, I'm not too familiar with
allergies, doctor, but I understand that

can often be caused by food.

By a multitude of things, food,
clothing, often it's a household pet, a

dog. We have neither.

On the other hand, Jody's allergy may
have been triggered by an emotional

of some sort.

Even at his age?

Especially at his age.

Envy could have brought it on, or
jealousy, or frustration.

Frustration?

Interesting.

Frustration.

Steady words, sir.

I don't go along with that.

If there ever was a healthy, normal,
well -adjusted kid, it's Jody. Yes, sir,

but the fact remains he does itch. When
is Hitching's start?

Last evening, sir.

Well, I told him I wouldn't read The
Wizard of Oz to him.

And after that, I went in the bedroom
and told both of them that I wasn't

to take him to the zoo on Sunday.

I guess I did a pretty good job of
frustrating that kid.

Yes, sir, I arrived at the same
conclusion, but what bothers me is the

Buffy doesn't seem in the least
affected.

Oh, well, that's the feminine sex for
you. You know, people say they're weak,

but they get their emotions right out of
control all the time, every minute.

How'd you like my world so far, Buffy?

put terrificus on it, too.

There's no room.

I'll get a bigger piece of cardboard.

Judy. In the closet.

Hi, Uncle Bill.

I'm just coming out of the closet.

I see.

Now, listen, you two. Remember last
night?

I told you I couldn't take you to the
zoo.

Uh -huh. Because you were busy.

That's okay if you were busy, Uncle
Bill.

No, it isn't. You were counting on going
to the zoo, and so we're going to go to

the zoo.

We don't have to go if you don't want
to.

Yeah, but I want to, so we're going to
go tomorrow afternoon.

Now, it's all set. We're going to spend
all Saturday afternoon together, right?

All afternoon?

All afternoon.

This is terrible, Jody. We just got to
finish the trophy.

Yeah, by dinner time tomorrow.

Trust the twins were happy with the
change of plans.

Oh, sure they were. Of course, they
tried not to show it, but I could tell

way they were looking at each other.
They were happy.

Well, so you nipped Jody's frustration
right in the bud.

Yeah, just in time, too.

Listen, will you see if you can find a
copy of Wizard of Oz? I got a bone up on

that cowardly line.

Very good.

Like the sea lions?

Yeah.

Now, this is what I like. I could stand
here and watch these chimps all day.

You really like the zoo, don't you,
Uncle Bill? Mm -hmm.

Hey, Buffy, here.

Look at some peanuts so we can feed the
chimps, huh?

Okay, Uncle Bill.

Well, Jody, uh...

You having a good time?

Yes, sir.

I mean a real good time.

Oh, sure, Uncle Bill.

But we can go home any time you want to.

Yes.

Hey, you have to do that.

Do what?

Scratch like that.

I didn't know I was.

Well, not for me, baby. That's for you.
Here.

Here, Jody.

Scratching just like you, Buffy.

Yeah.

Honey, honey, you don't have to imitate
the champ.

I'm not.

I'm scratching because I eat.

You too?

Uncle Bill, can we go home now?

Yeah, I guess we might as well.

What gets me is why they were both
scratching. There's got to be some

that.

Well, at least you know it's not
frustration.

You took them to the zoo.

That's quite right, sir. It's not your
fault.

I'll go along with you on that, French,
except for one thing. Why were they in

such a hurry to get home?

They could hardly wait to get rid of me,
you know.

Well, perhaps it was a food allergy,
sir. The strawberry mousse I prepared

them Thursday night.

That's right.

They've never had that before.

Buffy might be having a delayed
reaction.

Yeah, that could be.

Oh, good evening, Doctor.

Evening, French. I happen to be in the
building and I just stopped by to see

Davis. Is he home? Oh, Doctor. Oh, how
do you do?

Mr. Davis, I have some rather
interesting information concerning

So have I. Buffy's got it now. Oh, yeah?
Well, it's quite likely in view of the

circumstances.

What circumstances?

Well, I have a young patient in this
building.

Just about Jody's age, Peter Donaldson.

Oh, yes, Peter and Jody are chums.

I'm fine.

I don't blame you. You see, I've been
treating Peter for an allergy that's

similar to Jody's.

And a few hours ago, the patch test
reports came through.

And Peter's allergy was caused by
modeling clay.

But Jody has no modeling clay, Doctor.

Well, maybe he got hold of some of
Peter's clay.

My opinion exactly.

How could get him?

Get Buffy, too.

It'll be finished right in time for
dinner, Jody.

Yeah, I never thought we could keep it a
secret.

Jody?

Buffy?

Quick, hide it.

Buffy?

Okay, open the door.

against the door?

Oh, just cause.

Cause why?

Cause in case.

In case what?

In case cause.

Come on, Uncle Bill wants to see you.

You sure it wasn't something else that
could produce the same symptom?

I'm sure it was modeling clay.

Now, kids, I want to ask you something
that's very important.

Have you been playing with Peter's
modeling clay?

Playing with it?

No, Uncle Bill.

Okay, that rules that out.

Yes, it does.

We'll have to keep looking.

Buffy, may I see your arm where it
itches?

Yours, too, Jody.

Look at this, Mr.

Davis.

Clay.

Got Peter's clay on your hands?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Buffy Jody.

I'll handle this, you see.

I don't want to keep you from your
dinner any longer, Doctor.

Good night.

I'm sorry you're bothered.

Don't mention it.

Good night, kids.

Thank you.

Now, why didn't you tell me you had some
of Peter's clay when I asked you?

You don't want to tell me, huh?

Okay, I guess I'm gonna have to punish
you. You know why, don't you? When you

said you weren't playing with it, and
you were, you were just telling me a

You go on in your rooms.

Stay there.

Okay. Come on.

It's the first time they ever lied to
me.

I wouldn't let the twins get you down,
Uncle Bill.

After all, sir, they're only six.

I know. It's still a big disappointment.

Uncle Bill?

Can Jody and me come in and talk to you
for a minute?

You want to apologize?

No. We want to give you something.

Come on in, Jody.

What's that?

Well, you got a special kind of a trophy
for being the world's best builder. So

we made you one, too, for being the
world's best uncle.

For Uncle Bill, the bestest, nicest,
terrificest

uncle in the world.

Modeling clay.

Yes, sir.

You see, sissy?

We weren't playing.

We were working.

We wouldn't tell you a fib, Uncle Bill.

Are you surprised?

I'm not only surprised, I'm... I'm a
whole lot of things.

French, we got a new centerpiece.

I shall remove the flowers, sir.

Well, I don't know about being the
world's best uncle, but you sure are the

world's best twins.
