Music intro
KEN:
Chester Ray Riley considers himself a tolerant father. He believes.in allowing his teenage daughter Babs to do whatever she pleases, as long as what she does pleases him. And one of the things that definitely does not please Riley is Babs' persistent boyfriend, a certain young swain by the name of Simon Vanderhopper.
RILEY:
The nerve of that Simon. 11 o'clock and he ain't brought Babs home. Where did they go Peg?
PEG:
Well Simon had tickets for Toscanini's Orchestra.
RILEY:
I knew it. I knew it. I told him a thousand times not to take Babs dancing at Ocean Park.
PEG:
Riley, you don't dance to Toscanini. Honest I don't know why you got it in for Simon. He's a polite boy isn't he?
RILEY:
Well, yeah.
PEG:
And he's an honest boy.
RILEY:
Yeah.
PEG:
And he's an ambitious boy.
RILEY:
Yeah.
PEG:
Well then what have you got against him?
RILEY:
He's a boy. And Babs is too young to go with boys.
PEG:
Oh, for heaven's sake. Don't you want Babs to get married some day?
RILEY:
Well sure, but she don't have to go out with boys.
PEG:
If she doesn't know any boys then tell me how on earth is she going to get a husband?
RILEY:
I'll think of something.
PEG:
Oh, you just don't make sense. Don't you realize it's a good thing for a young girl to go out with a lot of boys so she can pick and choose. That's what I did.
RILEY:
Yeah and look who you wound up with.
PEG:
You don't even know what you're saying anymore. Go on to bed.
RILEY:
No, I'm gonna wait up for that Simon, and when he....SHHH, they're here. They're out on the porch. Yeah I hear Simon talking to Babs.
PEG:
Now, you're not going out on that porch and make a scene.
RILEY:
Don't worry, Simon's perfectly safe as long as just keeps talking.

BABS:
Well, goodnight Simon. Thanks for everything. I enjoyed the concert.
SIMON:
So did I. Especially Ravel's Bolero. There's something about the passionate beat of the tom toms that brings out the primitive beast in me. Why before I knew it I ate three bags of lady fingers.
BABS:
Well, I'd better go in now.
SIMON:
You know Babs this has been an unforgetable evening. Especially that ride home on the bus. What a thrill.
BABS:
A thrill? We were jammed in that bus like sardines.
SIMON:
Yes, and every time the driver stepped on the brake, you stepped on my foot. It was most enjoyable.
BABS:
Simon, how you talk.
SIMON: Can't you see what I'm trying to tell ya? I love ya, Babs. I love ya madly.
BABS:
What's gotten into you lately?
SIMON:
I've changed. All my life I was like a tiny brook that trickles gently down the mountainside. Then you came along and wham, I'm Boulder Dam.
BABS:
Simon, stop being silly.
SIMON:
Oh, excuse me. I don't know what I'm saying. Let's get married.
BABS:
Simon, its late. You really have to go.
SIMON:
Oh, all right, I'll go, but first somebody's gotta kiss me.

Somebody? Who?
SIMON:
Somebody who's sweet and exciting and gorgeous.

SIMON:
You mean he bites too?
RILEY:
Peg, you let me handle this. Why did he ask Babs to marry him.
SIMON:
I love her.
RILEY:
That's the silliest excuse I ever heard. Why you ain't got a cent to your name. You couldn't even take Babs on a decent honeymoon.
SIMON:
Oh Yes I could. A friend of mine promised to lend me his motor launch and I could take Babs on a cruise.
RILEY:
Humph. I can just see the three of us in a small motor launch.
SIMON:
Three of us?
RILEY:
You don't think I'd trust my daughter alone with you on your honeymoon?
PEG:
Riley, will you please stop this jabbering.
RILEY:
Now look here Simon. Before a couple gets married the man has gotta make sure of three things. A place to live, a bank account, and a job.
SIMON:
I guess you're right Mr. Riley.
RILEY:
You bet your life I'm right. Like when I married my wife. She had a place to live, her father had a bank account, and I ...Simon, get out of this house.

Well, what's the trouble Waldo.
WALDO:
Well I just came from Doctor Quimby. He said I have to cut down on cigarettes. Two packs a day is too much.
RILEY:
Why Waldo, you smoke forty cigarettes a day?
WALDO:
Oh, I don't smoke them, I eat them. They're chocolate cigarettes.
RILEY:
Oh, but chocolate cigarettes can't hurt you're throat.
WALDO: Oh, my brand can, they have nuts in them.
RILEY:
You think you got trouble, Waldo. My daughter's mad at me because I threw her boyfriend out again last night.
WALDO:
Well, Mr. Riley I think you made a fatal error.
RILEY:
But Waldo, I hadda. He's talking about marrying Babs.
WALDO:
He's only doing what comes naturally. Remember, if you try to keep young lovers apart you'll only drive them into each other's arms. Why look at Romeo and Juliet.
RILEY: Well, they were different. You, you can't compare that loafer Simon to a nice boy like Juliet.
WALDO:
Well, if you want my advice Mr. Riley, let Babs see Simon constantly and do you know what'll happen?
RILEY:
What?
WALDO:
She'll get sick of him.
RILEY:
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'll do. I'll sicken her with Simon. Only she might get suspicious I'm up to something.
WALDO:
Well, just tell her that you thought it over and you realize that their desire for companionship is perfectly normal.
RILEY:
Yeah, that's it, perfectly normal.
WALDO:
After all, you were a boy once.
RILEY:
I was a boy once.
WALDO: It's just a matter of using psychology, Mr. Riley. After a few dozen dates, Babs will get so bored with Simon that she'll throw him over.
RILEY:
That's it Waldo. Boy this is a great idea. It's an idea only a genius could think up, and I'm certainly glad I thought of it.

Teel will bring you the second act of the Life of Riley in just a moment. Meanwhile this is Ken Carpenter. Don't wait for that warning signal...
WOMAN:
Tender gums.
KEN:
Serious dental trouble is often forecast by
WOMAN:
Tender gums.
KEN:
If your gums were tender, sore, when you brushed your teeth this morning, there are two common sense things to do. First, see your dentist. And second stop all gum irritation. Dental authorities say that brushing with toothpaste and powders which contain harsh abrasives is irritating. It only makes things worse. And with gums already tender and sore, further gum irritation must be stopped. That's why I urge you at the first sign of tender gums switch to Teel, the liquid dentifrice. Teel contains no abrasives so Teel does not irritate even tender gums. Teel is good for tender gums. In fact, because Teel is a liquid, it reduces the irritating affect of the brush itself, authorities say. Teel lets you massage your gums gently. Once you've used Teel the chances are you'll continue. You'll like the way it makes teeth look sparkling clean, the way it helps sweeten your breath, and gives your mouth a refreshed, tingling taste. So when gums hurt, see your dentist, and switch to Teel. Better yet, don't wait for that warning signal. Get Teel now and follow directions on the package. Remember, that's Teel,
