Original subtitles

"The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," starring

the entire Nelson family.

Here's Ozzie.

Here's Harriet.

Here's David.

And here's Ricky.

Here they are, America's favorite family, the Nelsons.

Hey, uh, did you guys see this?

- What is it? - I don't know.

Some sort of a notice from the dean's office.

Well, open it up.

It might be good news. - Are you kidding?

When did we ever get good news from the dean's office?

Why don't we just write moved, no forwarding address,

and put it back in the mailbox?

That's a good idea.

- Not in my handwriting. - Here, let me have it.

I'll open it.

Yeah, I don't want to touch it.

My fingerprints are on file down there.

Well, what's it say, Rick?

Well, it's sort of an invitation.

To a cocktail party?

Well, not exactly.

It seems that the dean wants somebody

from the fraternity to meet him in his office

at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

OK, Charlie.

What have you done now?

It doesn't say what it's about, huh?

No.

Well, good luck, Rick.

Yeah, good luck.

You better hurry.

It's five minutes to 3:00 now. - Hey, wait a second, you guys.

Why me? - 'Cause you got the envelope.

- I've got you now. - OK, OK.

- Hi, Wally, Rick. - Oh, hi, honey.

I've been looking all over for you.

Oh, I haven't got time to talk with you now.

I'm going in to have a little chat with the dean.

Well, don't forget, you promised to drive me over

to the meeting tonight. - Yes, I know.

I'll be there.

And remember, you said you'd help me carry all that stuff.

Yes, I know.

And don't forget Tuesday night.

Look, don't plan too far ahead.

I might not even be around Tuesday.

Well, come on. - OK, OK.

Don't push me.

Well, come in, fellas.

Thank you.

Sit down.

This'll just take a minute.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

I know you're busy, and so am I,

so I'll get right to the point.

I've been checking over the scholastic averages

of the various fraternities, and unfortunately, your house

isn't doing too well this semester.

Oh?

I know you have a number of excellent students

who consistently get good grades,

but apparently, some of the others

aren't doing their share.

I don't have the individual records here,

but I'm sure you can find out without too much difficulty

just who isn't pulling his weight.

Well, you know If the average doesn't

show a marked improvement by the next report,

your house will automatically go on social probation, which

means no social activities for the rest of the term.

Well, uh, yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Frankly, I'd hate to see that happen.

My wife and I always enjoy your parties.

In fact, they're just about the best

on the campus, which may be the reason the grades are not

what they should be.

Uh, uh, yes, sir.

I can assure you, we'll call a meeting about it right away.

Uh, yes, sir. We'll take care of it.

Yeah, we sure will.

If there are any goof-offs in the house,

we'll find out who they are.

Well, good.

Perhaps you can work out a more efficient program

with the chairman of your scholarship committee.

Oh, yes, sir. That's the first thing we'll do.

Uh, yes, sir. That's the first thing we'll do.

Appoint a scholarship committee.

Hey, what's going on in here?

Well, most of us are trying to study.

In the middle of the afternoon?

Are you kidding?

It's almost dinnertime.

Well, what are you trying to do, spoil your dinner?

Come on, Wally.

Knock it off, will you?

Well, what's wrong with all you guys?

You heard what the dean said. You were there.

Oh, so that's it.

Don't let the dean worry you.

That's just his annual threat.

He tells the same thing to everybody.

- Yeah, I bet he does. - Believe me.

I know what I'm talking about.

He just had us up there today because he wanted somebody

to talk to.

He sits up there in that little office and gets lonesome.

We'll take your word for it.

Now, relax, will ya?

OK.

Hey, fellas.

How about a little game?

What'll it be?

Five card draw?

Seven card stud?

How about a little showdown?

A jack.

The big ace.

A little lady.

War.

Hey, Rick.

Ace bets.

Uh, later, Wally.

Uh, Jimmy, ace checks to you.

Forget it.

OK, OK.

I can take a hint.

Anybody care for a walnut?

Fellas?

Oh, well.

Solitaire isn't so bad.

Well, what are we going to do about it?

Well, the bylaws say we can fine a guy who won't study.

That won't do too much good with Wally.

He'll borrow the money from us to pay the fine.

Well, it's pretty obvious we're

going to have to do something about it,

or we'll never get our grades up.

Yeah, it's hard enough to study as it is.

Hey, what are you guys doing up here?

Well, you're just in time.

We're having a little impromptu meeting.

Oh, well, carry on, boys. Who are we talking about?

What's her name?

Believe it or not, we're discussing an entirely

different subject this time.

OK, I'll check with you later then.

Hey, wait a minute, Wally.

Maybe you can help.

Sure, what's your problem?

Well, we kind of figured the reason our grade average is

down is because it's so darn hard to study around here.

Yeah, I've noticed that, too.

What do you think we ought to do about it?

Well, it seems to come down to this.

There are a couple of guys--

One in particular.

Yeah, one in particular who keeps goofing off,

and it makes it that much harder for everyone else to study.

Oh?

We're trying to figure out what to do about it.

Do you have any suggestions? - Well, yeah.

Tell me who he is.

I've been looking for somebody to play cards with or checkers

or anything.

Come on, Wally.

It's no joke.

We don't want to go on social probation.

Let's hear your opinion.

What would you do about a guy like that?

Well, I'd drum him out of the fraternity.

Tar and feather him.

Ride him out of town.

That is, if I thought you were talking about somebody

else besides me. - Look.

we're not trying to put you on the spot.

But if we all hit the books a little now,

it'll save us a lot of trouble later on.

Yeah, and if you can't settle down to study,

maybe it'd be better if you just get out of the house.

Get out of the house?!

I don't mean permanently.

I mean just while we're trying to study.

Well, what about Wally himself?

We've got to get him studying, too.

Well, that's part of the idea.

Maybe if he's alone with his books for a while,

he might get bored enough to open them up and see

what's inside of them.

What do you say, Wally?

Well, it might be worth a try.

At least it's better than tar and feathers.

Look. I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll make you a good offer.

You can come over to my house, and we can both study there.

Hey, that sounds like fun.

Oh, not exactly fun.

I'm really going to hit those books.

That is, if I can find them.

Now you're talking.

Way to go, Wally.

Come on, Rick, before I change my mind.

Hey, uh, Wally?

Uh, give me the cards.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Well, what do you want the cards for?

Because we're going to study.

We're not going to play cards.

The harmonica.

Radio.

And the comic books.

Comic books?

Yeah, comic books.

That's not fair.

You know me too well.

Boy, how long we been studying?

About 15 minutes.

Well, don't you have a test coming up in a couple days?

- Yeah, three of them. - Well, so do I?

Let's get to work.

I guess I am kind of a goof-off,

but I just can't seem to help it.

Well, you get by.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder how.

Anyway, I want you to know I really appreciate

what you're doing for me, Rick.

Well, actually, I'm not doing anything.

Well, sure you are.

Having me over here at your house, studying with me,

it's a big help.

Well, good.

I know I have a tough time buckling down and studying,

but things have a habit of distracting me.

Just don't let them.

Oh, I'm not gonna from now on.

- Hi, boys. - Oh, hi--

- Hi, Pop. ---Mr. Nelson.

Come on in.

I don't want to interrupt your studying.

Oh, that's OK. We were due for a break anyway.

How's your golf game been lately?

Oh, not too bad.

I'm a little unhappy with my short game,

but I'm hittin' the ball pretty well off the tee.

Uh, Pop?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Go ahead, fellas.

Uh, drop in anytime, Mr. Nelson.

- Fine. - Gee, your dad's a nice fella.

Yeah, sure is.

Now, come on, Wally.

Now, don't blame your mother.

It's not her fault. That is, not entirely.

Well, I thought you were going to study with me.

Well, I just came down for a glass of water,

and I got a whiff of this apple pie,

and it was just too much for me.

Besides, you can't study on an empty stomach.

Are you kidding? His stomach's never been empty.

Yeah.

I'd like to keep it that way, too.

Well, it's about time for a break, anyway.

Well, here's one for you, too.

Oh, thanks, Mom.

Hello?

Oh, yeah, uh, just a second.

Uh, Wally, it's for you.

It's Ginger.

Oh, thanks.

Uh, hi, Ginger, honey.

You haven't forgotten about tonight, have ya?

- Tonight? - Yeah.

You promised to drive me over to that meeting.

Oh. Holy smokes.

That's right. Uh, listen, honey.

I'll be right there.

You'll be right where?

I'm supposed to take Ginger to that meeting tonight.

Well, you're also supposed to be studying tonight.

You got a lot of back work to make up,

and I promised the guys. - OK, OK.

Uh, just a second, honey.

Look, I can't tell her I'm studying.

She'll never believe that.

Hey, wait a minute.

You're almost finished, aren't ya?

Well, yeah. Why?

Will you do me a favor?

OK, I'll take her.

Oh, thanks, Rick.

Listen, honey.

I'm kind of hung up studying tonight, but Rick said--

uh, studying.

You know, with books?

Anyway, Rick said he'd take you if that's OK.

Oh, fine.

Uh, bye.

Well, she said it's OK with her if it's OK with you.

Yeah, it's OK with me.

Now, wait a minute.

I'm not so sure it's OK with me.

Remember, she's my girl.

Well, I'll try and keep that in mind.

Now, where do I go?

Uh, pick her up at the sorority.

She has to take a punch bowl and some cups

over to some meeting or something.

And remember, she's my girl. - OK.

And thanks for the pie, Mom. - Uh, have fun.

- Thanks. - Now, wait a minute.

That was only a figure of speech.

- Oh, hi, Rick. - Hi.

Is Ginger here? - She sure is.

Come on in. - Well, thanks.

Ginger, Rick is here.

- Hi, Rick. - Hi, Ginger.

I hope this isn't putting you to too much trouble.

Oh, no.

Well, might as well get started.

Tell me the truth, though, will you?

Is Wally really starting?

Believe it or not, he really is.

Oh, thanks.

Here, let me get that for you.

Oh, thank you.

I guess I'm a little too used to Wally.

Thanks, Ginger.

How long are you guys going to keep Wally on this project?

Well, it's not only Wally. It's the whole fraternity.

We're going to keep at it till we bring our grades up.

In other words, it's going to go on for quite a while.

I mean, especially for Wally.

Well, he's got a couple of tests on Monday.

We'll see how he does.

Well, personally, I'm all for it.

But I was kind of counting on his help this week.

I've got all kinds of things to do.

Well, we'll try to work something out.

How far is this place?

Oh, not very far.

We're about a half hour early anyway.

Well, how come?

Well, I guess it's my fault. I always

tell Wally a half hour early so we won't

be more than a half hour late.

Well, now that we have a little time to kill,

do you want to stop off someplace and have

a cup of coffee?

Well, I'd love to, but I forgot my wallet.

Are you kidding? It's on me.

Oh, good. It's usually Dutch with Wally.

Oh, thank you.

You know, maybe we ought to keep Wally

studying as long as possible.

Well, congratulations, Wally.

Yeah, way to go, Wally.

Oh, thanks, fellas.

Hey, uh, what's up?

Congratulations are in order for Wally.

The professor asked him a question,

and he knew the answer.

Yeah, and even threw in a couple of footnotes

to go with it. - Well, that's great.

Oh, it was really nothing.

Any Phi Beta Kappa could have done the same.

What did the professor say?

Well, he was a little stunned, but he managed

to finish out the lecture.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Keep up the good work, Wally.

Oh, thanks.

And keep him at your house, Rick.

We got a lot of studying done last night, too.

OK.

I can take a hint.

Well, I guess I better get going, too.

I promised Ginger I'd meet her down at the malt shop.

Hey, wait a second. Are you all through for the day?

Well, no.

I've got a free period and then History.

Well, don't you think you ought to go over

to the library and study?

Well, I don't know.

Maybe you're right.

But what about Ginger?

I don't want to stand her up.

Well, I suppose I could go tell her you're studying.

Yeah, but I promised to have a malt with her.

- I'll buy her a malt. - Well, now, wait a minute.

Don't spoil her.

I just said I'd have one with her.

I didn't say I'd buy it.

OK, I'll see you later.

OK, so long.

Well, now, let's see.

Which way is the library?

Gee, that was a great dinner, Mrs. Nelson.

Oh, thank you.

Of course, I want you to understand that this study

program doesn't necessarily include

a free dinner every night. - I know.

On the other hand, it is an excellent way

to get me here on time.

Should have heard Wally today, Pop.

He was a regular quiz kid.

Wow, good for you.

Oh, thanks.

You know, I kind of like the idea

of knowing the answers for a change.

You can sit right down in front, and you don't

have to hide behind your book.

I get the feeling you aren't quite as bad as you say.

Well, maybe not.

But I do think this studying is doing me a lot of good.

- Want some more coffee? - Oh, no, thanks.

We have to get upstairs and hit those books.

Well, get him. The new Wally.

Come on now. No goofing off.

Well, you go on up.

I'll see you in about an hour.

Well, where are you going?

Over to the sorority.

Ginger's chairman of some kind of alumni dance committee,

and you were supposed to help her hook up the PA system.

Well, I'll do it.

You don't have to get stuck with that kind of stuff.

That's OK. I'm all caught up on my studies.

Yeah, but if you go over there,

who's going to make me study? - Oh, don't worry.

Pop's going to check on you every half hour,

and Mom's going to bring you a Toll House cookie every time

you finish a chapter.

I'll see ya later.

Testing, one, two, three.

Sounds great.

Why don't we try a record on it?

OK.

Do you think there's too much wax on this floor?

No, I don't think so.

Hey, Dave.

Oh, hi, Rick.

Uh, what are you doing down here?

Oh, I just came down to do a little research at the library.

Who are you suing today?

Nobody.

Aye, what's this I hear about you and Ginger?

What do you mean?

Well, I've been on the campus for about five minutes,

and at least 10 people have told me

you've been seen all over town with her.

Oh, that.

Well, I've sort of been filling in for Wally.

- Oh? - Look.

Ginger's a nice girl, but I'm certainly

not interested in her.

All I know is what I hear.

You were dancing with her at the sorority last night,

weren't you?

I was helping her put up the PA system.

Oh, sure.

I hear stories like that in court every day.

Look, Dave.

I'm telling you, there's nothing to it.

Hi, Rick, Dave.

Oh, hi, Ginger.

I want to thank you again for last night, Rick.

Oh, sure.

Is everything straightened out for the dance Saturday night?

Yeah.

Believe it or not, I don't have any more projects for tonight.

Oh, good.

I'm glad everything's under control.

I guess Wally's going to be studying pretty hard

tonight, huh? - Well, yeah.

Well, we're going to keep him at it until he

has those tests on Monday.

Well, he's supposed to take me to a movie tonight.

There's an awfully good picture I'd like to see.

Oh.

Well, maybe I'll see it if it comes to town again.

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

- Well, so long, fellas. - Bye.

Bye.

Now, come on, David.

I didn't say a word.

It's obvious she's not interested in you.

She just wants to go to the movies.

I thought I was doing Wally a favor,

but now it looks like I'm trying to steal his girl.

- I don't think so, Rick. - Well, of course not.

It's not your fault that Ginger's

taken an interest in you.

Well, I'm not sure she has.

At least I hope she hasn't.

Well, it certainly sounds like she

was hinting to have you take her to the movies tonight.

And under the circumstances, I don't

think that's such a good idea.

Well, don't worry.

I didn't take the hint if that's what it was.

Oh, hi, Mr. Nelson. Hi, Rick, old man.

- Oh, hi, Wally. - Hi, Wally.

Is dinner almost ready, Mrs. Nelson?

- Almost. - Oh, good.

Boy, that's the best part of studying over here.

Say, Rick, how about doing me a little favor tonight?

Uh, what kind of a favor?

How would you like to take Ginger to a movie?

Oh, gee, Wally. I don't think so.

- Well, she'll pay for it. - Well, it's not that.

Uh, I'd sure appreciate it.

It's a picture she's been dying to see.

- Well, why don't you take her? - Are you kidding?

With those tests coming up on Monday?

You don't want me to break training, do you?

No, I just thought it might be a good idea for you

to take a night off. Relax a little.

Oh, no. Not now.

I'm just getting into the swing of this thing.

Besides, I've already told Ginger you'd take her,

and she thinks it's a great idea.

Well, I'm not so sure about that.

Look, why don't you get somebody else to take her out tonight?

Well, not that she isn't a very attractive girl

and a lot of fun to be with--

Well, that's just the point.

You're my best friend, and I trust you.

I don't want her going out with some wolf.

Well, excuse me.

I'll go get cleaned up for dinner.

Well, just don't sit in the balcony.

Hey, uh, Wally?

Uh, yeah?

I really think you'd better take her to the show tonight.

Well, what do you mean? Why can't you take her?

Well, she may feel like you've been neglecting her lately

and decide to latch on to some other guy.

And I'm the one who's been around all the time.

Oh, will you cut it out, Rick?

It's like I told you.

You're my best friend, and I trust you.

Besides, how can she possibly be interested in anybody else

when she's got me?

You handsome devil, you.

I'm kidding, but not much.

OK.

Where's the show playing, anyway?

At the new drive-in theater.

Pick her up about 8 o'clock, will you?

Oh, wasn't that the most beautiful love scene?

Yeah.

It's a real good picture.

Listen to that music.

Yeah.

It's real good.

It's a little chilly, isn't it?

Yeah.

Do you want me to put up the top?

Oh, no.

I'll just put my coat over my shoulders.

Uh, how about some hot coffee or some popcorn or something?

Oh, not for me, thanks.

Oh, well, will you excuse me?

I think I'll get some. - Oh.

Oh, sure.

Uh, Mom?

Can I talk to Wally for a minute, please?

Oh, he isn't here.

Well, he isn't? Well, where is he?

I don't know.

He left right after you did.

Oh, that's great.

He puts me on a spot like this, and he's not even studying.

What's the trouble? Is something wrong?

Well, no.

It's just-- well, it's OK, Mom.

I'll see you later.

Yeah.

So long.

Is this the same picture? - Oh, no.

You missed the end of it.

This is the coming attraction.

Oh.

I got you some popcorn anyway. - Oh, gee.

Thanks, Rick.

I must say, you're just about the most thoughtful boy

I've ever been out with.

Oh, thank you.

Well.

- Hey, Wally. - What are you doing here?

Oh, I just thought I'd drive over and see

if my girl and my best friend were enjoying themselves.

Well, we're having a very pleasant evening, thank you.

So I notice.

A little too pleasant, if you ask me.

Come on, Wally.

Yeah, pretty tricky of you to lure me into studying so

you could take my girl away from me.

Wally.

Just a second, Rick.

Look.

If you must know, it's been pretty nice going out

with a gentleman for a change.

I'd forgotten how nice it can be having somebody open the car

door for you, help you on with your coat,

and pick up the check.

Well, OK.

If I had to lose to somebody, I'm glad it's you, Rick.

Now, wait a second, fatso.

You're not going to get rid of me that easily.

- What's this, honey? - You heard me.

You mean you still like me a little bit?

Unfortunately, yes.

Oh, honey.

Sweetie pie.

I wuv you.

I wuv you.

Uh, uh, this is getting pretty revolting.

I think I'll go home, if you don't mind.

Oh, gee, Rick.

Don't you want to stay and see the other picture?

No, you two stay here.

I'll drive your car home.

Uh, here are the keys.

Oh, thanks.

And I'm really sorry, Rick. No hard feelings?

No. Forget it.

That's the way the old ball bounces.

Oh, you're a lovely couple.

You're beautiful, both of you.

I guess we are, at that.

And you're a wonderful guy, Rick.

Thanks for everything.

Oh, it was my pleasure.

Uh, you sure you won't stay?

Oh, uh, no, thanks.

Uh, I have a little studying I'd like to do...

uh, a few things I'd kind of like to look over.

You know how it is. - Oh, sure.

We'll see tomorrow then. - OK.

- Good night, Rick. - Good night.

Uh, hi.

Hi.

You're Ricky Nelson, aren't you?

Well, yeah.

Well, you look kind of familiar, too.

Well, I think we met at a couple of parties or something.

Oh, honey, have you met Ricky Nelson?

Well, hi, Rick.

Oh, hi.

Won't you join us?

Oh, I was, uh, uh, just on my way home.

Well, uh, good night.

Good night.

Well, you can't win 'em all.

It's a young world.

When you're in love, you're in young world.

So take my hand and let me show you just

how true young love can be.

In a woah-woahhh-ohhh, it's a young world.

And if you tell me you're my one girl.

You'll make my whole life worth living just

by giving your love to me.

All of the world is a treasure when you have someone to care.

Promise me your love forever.

We'll have the whole world to share.

And it's a young world.

When you're in love, you're in young world.

If you believe what I told you, let me hold you.

Say you love me.

It's a young world.

Ohhhhh.

It's a young world.

Ohhhh.

It's a young world.

Oooooo.

Tonight's "Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet"

was brought to you by Peter Paul.

Mm.

These Peter Paul almond clusters.

Will you try 'em?

Like Mounds, they're indescribably delicious.
