1. Oh, my, that looks yummy, Lily.
Copy !req
2. I'll bet there's not a family
on the block that's having a meal
like this tonight.
Copy !req
3. Well, thank you, dear.
But before we start,
Copy !req
4. Eddie has some news
for us tonight about school,
haven't you, Eddie?
Copy !req
5. That's right. This Saturday night
is talent night at school.
Copy !req
6. - Talent night?
- Yeah. It's going to be held
in the school gym.
Copy !req
7. And if any kid has someone
in his family who has talent,
Copy !req
8. he's supposed to volunteer
them to perform.
Copy !req
9. And did you volunteer a member
of your family to perform?
Copy !req
10. Oh, sure. I volunteered the one
who has the most talent off all.
Fine.
Copy !req
11. - What time do I have to be there?
- Oh, I didn't volunteer you, Grandpa.
Copy !req
12. I told 'em my Pop would
perform on talent night.
Copy !req
13. - Herman?
- Me?
Copy !req
14. Uh, hmm, hmm.
Well, uh, well, now. How about that?
Copy !req
15. ?
Copy !req
16. ?
[Off-key]
Copy !req
17. Herman?
Copy !req
18. Herman?
Herman!
Copy !req
19. May I ask you something?
Copy !req
20. Why of course, Grandpa.
Just what do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
21. I'm trying to decide what to sing
at Eddie's school on talent night.
Copy !req
22. You are going to sing?
Copy !req
23. That's right.
And why not?
Copy !req
24. After all, as they used to say...
Copy !req
25. "Herman Munster has the finest
set of pipes in Transylvania."
Copy !req
26. Herman, they were talking about
your circulatory system,
not your singing.
Copy !req
27. Very funny.
You're just jealous because
Eddie volunteered me instead of you.
Copy !req
28. And as that great philosopher,
Steve Allen, has said on
many occasions...
Copy !req
29. "Jealousy is the stinkweed
in the garden of life."
Copy !req
30. Herman, wh-what happened?
Uh, what happened?
Copy !req
31. Bobby Darin here just
brought down the house.
Copy !req
32. Grandpa. Grandpa, there must be
something Herman can do
to entertain on talent night.
Copy !req
33. If he lets Eddie down,
he'll be so disappointed.
Copy !req
34. I know, Lily. And when it comes
to Herman, I'm going to break
a long-standing American tradition.
Copy !req
35. I'm gonna be nice to my son-in-law.
Copy !req
36. How kind and noble you've become
since you've started reading Mary Worth.
What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
37. Come with me, Lily.
I'll show you.
Copy !req
38. - Ballet slippers?
- Magic ballet slippers.
Copy !req
39. When Herman puts these on,
he'll get instant talent.
Copy !req
40. I got the recipe from
Hans Christian Andersen.
I'll show you how they work.
Copy !req
41. "Ballet, Old Soft Shoe,
Mexican Hat Dance, the Twist. '"
Copy !req
42. Now, I take this
magic dancing powder,
Copy !req
43. sprinkle it on the shoes,
and they start to dance.
Copy !req
44. "Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake,
Nutcracker Suite...
Copy !req
45. Swing it, shoesies,
with a ballet beat."
Copy !req
46. ? "Dance Of The Reeds'"]
Copy !req
47. Oh, Grandpa, how wonderful!
Copy !req
48. I know. Okay, fellows,
that's enough for now. Take five.
Copy !req
49. Herman, I made these ballet slippers
in your size... 26E.
Copy !req
50. I'll just tie a little bow
over the ankle.
Copy !req
51. Oh, they're so cute.
Copy !req
52. But gee, Lily, l... Golly, I don't want
to do the ballet at Eddie's school.
Copy !req
53. People might get
the wrong impression.
Copy !req
54. You know, that I was a...
Communist or something.
Copy !req
55. You don't have to do the ballet.
Copy !req
56. Just pick any magic dancing powder
you want for any kind of dance
you want. Be my guest.
Copy !req
57. Go ahead, Herman,
for Eddie's sake?
All right.
Copy !req
58. Hmm.
Copy !req
59. Uh, let's try the Old Soft Shoe.
Good.
Copy !req
60. There always was
a little Gene Kelly in me.
Copy !req
61. Where they got it from,
I'll never know, but there was.
Copy !req
62. Put the other foot on, please.
Thank you.
Copy !req
63. A little Soft Shoe.
There you are.
Copy !req
64. Hurry, Grandpa, I'm so excited.
Copy !req
65. You know, I think I'll sprinkle
a little Indian Rain Dance powder on.
Copy !req
66. We've had a dry spell lately.
Might as well kill two birds
with one stone.
Copy !req
67. "Heel and toe it,
make us know it.
Copy !req
68. Strut your stuff
and really show it."
Whoosh!
Copy !req
69. Uh! He's doing the ballet.
Copy !req
70. Holy mackerel! That's not "Soft Shoe."
I used the wrong powder.
Copy !req
71. Oh, dear! He can't stop!
Grandpa, do something.
Copy !req
72. Oh, this is terrible!
How long will he keep on dancing?
Copy !req
73. Oh, two, maybe three hours.
Copy !req
74. Well, there's one consolation.
At least he'll be home
in time for lunch.
Copy !req
75. Oh, well, it's not a total loss.
It's started to rain.
Copy !req
76. Ooh.
Oh, that feels good.
Copy !req
77. Ahh.
Copy !req
78. Herman. Herman,
will you listen to me?
Copy !req
79. Look,
all I have to do is take these shoes
to the shoemaker, have them resoled...
Copy !req
80. and then the night of the talent show
you'll be in business again.
Copy !req
81. Uh, no, no, Grandpa.
It's no use.
Copy !req
82. When it comes to talent,
Herman Munster is a complete washout.
Copy !req
83. I'm just gonna have to
tell my little boy that his daddy
is a great big stupid lox.
Copy !req
84. No, dear. You're
a great big lovable lox.
Copy !req
85. Pop.! Pop.! Hey, Pop.!
Copy !req
86. I just talked to my teacher
again about talent night,
Oh, uh...
Copy !req
87. and you won't have to sing or dance
or juggle or any of that corny stuff.
Copy !req
88. Oh, good, because...
'Cause I volunteered you
for the best spot of all.
Copy !req
89. I said you were the world's
greatest magician.
Copy !req
90. Oh, boy.!
Copy !req
91. Well, Herman,
the world's greatest magician.
Copy !req
92. Uh, what do you
have to say to that?
Copy !req
93. Bibble ibble ibble ibble
ibble ibble ibble ibble.
Copy !req
94. ? Carnival]
Copy !req
95. There.
Copy !req
96. I shall now make
a few passes over the hat...
Copy !req
97. and I shall proceed to pull
a live chicken from the hat.
Copy !req
98. - Oh, Herman, you're so clever.
- Please, dear. Don't egg me on.
Copy !req
99. This is the loosest chicken
I ever saw.
Copy !req
100. If you'll just allow me a few minutes
for a little bit more practice?
Copy !req
101. Of course, Uncle Herman.
Now you just call us when you're ready.
Copy !req
102. Fine. Fine. I'll be ready.
Copy !req
103. Brawwk!
What's up, Doc?
Copy !req
104. Uh, I seem to have
run out of eggs.
Copy !req
105. Uh, do you think
you could oblige?
Copy !req
106. Don't look at me, buster.
My name's Charlie. Brawwk!
Copy !req
107. At least he could
have made an effort.
Copy !req
108. Please, Grandpa.
Copy !req
109. You've got to do the magic
for Uncle Herman.
Copy !req
110. Oh, but you mustn't let him know.
It would just break his heart.
Copy !req
111. I'm sorry. I helped him
with the dancing shoes.
I'm not gonna try again.
Copy !req
112. Grandpa, how can you act like that
after all Herman has done for you?
Copy !req
113. Why, if it wasn't for him,
you'd still be back in the Old Country,
hanging around in some damp old cave,
Copy !req
114. scratching fleas out of your wings
and wondering who your
next square meal was coming from.
Copy !req
115. I guess you're right, Lily.
Copy !req
116. In the hustle-bustle of daily living,
we're inclined to forget those golden
moments of kindness. I'll do it.
Copy !req
117. Where is the bum?
Copy !req
118. Now, here we are.
Copy !req
119. I shall proceed to pull
a live chicken from the hat.
Copy !req
120. I did it! I did it! I did it! I did it!
I did it! I'm a magician!
Copy !req
121. Oh, boy!
Copy !req
122. Lily, this book... how corny can you get?
It's got jokes with the tricks yet.
Copy !req
123. Never mind the jokes,
Grandpa.
Copy !req
124. When Herman does
those tricks tonight at school,
are you sure they're gonna work?
Copy !req
125. Lily, with me in the wings,
he'll look like the greatest magician
since Merlin.
Copy !req
126. Why, there's not a trick in this book
that I can't do with my eyes closed.
Copy !req
127. Oh, Marilyn, lunch is almost ready.
Have you seen Herman and Eddie?
Copy !req
128. Oh, yes.
They're down in the lab.
Copy !req
129. Uncle Herman wants
to practice his magic act,
so he'll be all ready for tonight.
Copy !req
130. He's so proud thinking he can do magic.
I hope nothing goes wrong.
Copy !req
131. How can anything go wrong?
If he sticks to the tricks in this book,
Copy !req
132. there's not a chance of him
making a boob of himself.
Copy !req
133. ? [Harmonica, Bells, Percussion]
Copy !req
134. Well, Herman, you're on next.
This is your chance, Herman.
Copy !req
135. Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa.
Calm down, calm down.
Copy !req
136. Anyone would think
you were performing.
Copy !req
137. Just stand in the wings and watch.
Copy !req
138. Yes. Uh, thank you very much,
Teddy Branston's father.
Copy !req
139. Now I'm sure you all recognized
"Clair de Lune" too.
Copy !req
140. Now, uh, according to our program here,
we're in for a real treat.
Copy !req
141. Uh, we have magic, uh, as performed
by Munster the Magnificent!
Copy !req
142. ?
Copy !req
143. Now where did that come from?
Copy !req
144. I get it. It's a gag.
He's a clown magician.
Copy !req
145. Yeah. What a getup.
Gee, look at the size of that guy.
Copy !req
146. Wow! Looks like there could be
two fathers inside that costume.
Yeah.
Copy !req
147. I'd like to introduce myself.
Copy !req
148. I'm Herman Munster, and my family's
in the iron and steel business.
Copy !req
149. My mother irons
and my father steals.
Copy !req
150. - [Whistling, Cheering]
- Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
151. Oh, oh, please.
Oh, oh, you're too kind. Thank you.
Copy !req
152. Tonight, I have some amazing
magic in store for you,
Copy !req
153. but first, I would like to introduce
my assistant, Marilyn Munster.
Copy !req
154. Five, six, seven, eight...
Copy !req
155. Now you know what's
been holding up the act.
Copy !req
156. These aren't mine.
They belong to my brother-in-law.
Copy !req
157. But he doesn't need them.
His wife is the one who wears
the pants in his family.
Copy !req
158. Grandpa! Wasn't there
a rabbit in that hat?
Copy !req
159. I got it out just in time.
The big goof!
Copy !req
160. And now, miss,
Copy !req
161. if you would permit me
to place this egg on your head.
Copy !req
162. And now, if you will
watch my assistant closely.
Copy !req
163. I guess she must have
had bats in her belfry.
Copy !req
164. The last time I saw a ham that big,
it was in a butcher's window.
Copy !req
165. And now for the grand finale.
Copy !req
166. My wife is standing in the wings.
Copy !req
167. I'm going to ask my wife
to come out here on stage,
Copy !req
168. and I am then going to proceed
to make my wife disappear.
Copy !req
169. A trick which any husband
should appreciate.
Copy !req
170. Make me disappear?
What is this?
Copy !req
171. I don't know.
Th-That trick wasn't in the book.
Copy !req
172. Excuse me.
Copy !req
173. Come on, Lily, we're on.
But, Herman,
you can't do that trick.
Copy !req
174. And just why can't I?
'Cause it's not in the book,
and I don't know it.
Copy !req
175. Who cares whether you know it or not?
I'm doing the magic.
Copy !req
176. Come on.
No. Herman,
I have news for you.
Copy !req
177. Uh, well, Grandpa's been
standing back here in the wings...
Copy !req
178. making all your tricks work for you.
Copy !req
179. That's right.
I've done every one of them.
Copy !req
180. Oh, I get it. I've been out there
doing magic and making a big hit...
Copy !req
181. And you want to stand here
in the wings and get all the credit.
Copy !req
182. Hear that? Hear that?
Copy !req
183. That proves I'm a better magician
than you are. Hear that applause?
Those are my people.
Copy !req
184. Come on, Lily.
But, Herman...
Copy !req
185. Lily, dear, come on.
They're calling for us.
Copy !req
186. The show must go on.
Copy !req
187. Ladies and gentlemen...
Mrs. Munster.
Copy !req
188. I want you to take a good look at her,
because she's not gonna be here long.
Copy !req
189. I wish you now
to observe this cabinet.
Copy !req
190. Solid on this side,
Copy !req
191. solid in back,
Copy !req
192. solid... solid...
Copy !req
193. solid all the way around.
Copy !req
194. And now, Lily, dear,
Copy !req
195. if you please.
?
Copy !req
196. Isn't that just like a woman?
Copy !req
197. She doesn't want to go anywhere
where she can't spend money.
Copy !req
198. "Alakazee, kazi, kazeer.
Copy !req
199. Woman in the cabinet,
disappear!"
Copy !req
200. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
?
Copy !req
201. And now,
ladies and gentlemen, uh,
for a more difficult trick...
Copy !req
202. and to me,
a more painful trick.
Copy !req
203. I will now make my wife reappear.
Copy !req
204. "Alakazee, kazi, kazeer.
Copy !req
205. Woman in the cabinet,
reappear!"
Copy !req
206. Thank you.
Copy !req
207. Not now.
Copy !req
208. Marilyn, not now
during the bows, dear.
Copy !req
209. Not during the applause, dear.
Copy !req
210. Lily, where are you?
Lily? Lily?
Copy !req
211. Uh, where
are you, dear? Lily.!
Copy !req
212. Lily!
Copy !req
213. Lily! Come back, Lily! Lily!
Copy !req
214. Lily! Uh-Uh-Uh,
Grandpa, help me!
Copy !req
215. "Alakazee, kazi, kazeer!" Lily!
Copy !req
216. Lily!
Copy !req
217. Uh, listen, Eddie,
uh, about your mother...
Copy !req
218. Pop, we've looked for her
a million times.
Copy !req
219. She isn't there.
She's disappeared.
Copy !req
220. Yes, well, I wanted to
talk to you about this.
Copy !req
221. Uh, just come over here.
I want to, uh, tell you something.
Copy !req
222. What is it, Pop?
Copy !req
223. Eddie, I've just discovered something.
Copy !req
224. What?
Copy !req
225. I'm a widow
and you're an orphan,
Copy !req
226. and it's all my fault.
Copy !req
227. Hi, Herman.
Oh, Grandpa!
Copy !req
228. What's new?
Grandpa! Grandpa,
you've got to help me!
Copy !req
229. You've got to
make Lily reappear!
Me? You're the big magician.
Copy !req
230. All I do is stand in the wings
and watch.
Copy !req
231. Oh, Grandpa, Grandpa.
I'm sorry about that.
Copy !req
232. I don't know what happened.
The trick backfired.
Copy !req
233. Well, how could that have happened?
Copy !req
234. Well, all I did was...
I'll show you.
Copy !req
235. I put Lily in the cabinet...
Copy !req
236. I pull the curtain,
Copy !req
237. I said a few magic words,
Copy !req
238. and I push the button...
Copy !req
239. and then I open the curtains
and she was gone.
Copy !req
240. Grandpa, you've got to help me.
Copy !req
241. Lily! Lily, you've...
you've come back!
Copy !req
242. Hi, Mom. I'm glad you're back.
Pop was really crackin' up.
Copy !req
243. Oh, was he, Eddie?
Oh, thank you, Grandpa,
thank you.
Copy !req
244. Lily, sweetheart,
I will never do magic again.
Copy !req
245. I shall be humble
and contrite and...
Copy !req
246. Oh, Lily, I don't know
what I'd do without you.
Copy !req
247. Believe me, Lily, I don't.
Copy !req
248. Do you really mean that, pussycat?
Copy !req
249. Of course I do, sweetheart.
Copy !req
250. Besides, your-your name's
on all the bath towels.
Copy !req
251. And if I ever got married again,
I'd have to find someone named Lily.
Copy !req
