00:00You have a date with the angel, starring Betty White, Bill Williams as Gus Angel, presented
00:29by Plymouth, star of the forward look, and the Plymouth Dealers of America.
00:42The time, ten months after Vicki and Gus Angel were married.
00:46The plot, the telephone's a wonderful invention.
00:49The characters, four wrong numbers.
00:52Boy, Dad, you really ought to read this book.
01:01It'll give you some good ideas on how to run the storm.
01:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:09Good morning, Howard.
01:10Billy.
01:11Hello, Miss Spear.
01:13Getting ready for the weekend, people, I see.
01:16Yeah, there should be a few up this afternoon tomorrow.
01:20Certainly, it was a nice day.
01:21It was the most fabulously unsanitary way of merchandising.
01:25The city people like the village quaint, and there's nothing quainter than selling pickles
01:31out of a barrel and putting money in my quaint little cash register.
01:36Oh, Dad, that idea about city people just completely flips me.
01:41Well, if they think of us as hillbillies, why they've got to take the consequences.
01:45Your father's right, Billy.
01:47I keep telling Mark Jr., you may be a big letterman and an honor student up here,
01:53but to the people from Los Angeles, you're just another hillbilly.
01:57Oh, if I hear that word, hillbilly, again, I'm just going to...
02:02Oh, by the way, Mark tells me he's taking you to the dance Saturday night.
02:07Yes, ma'am.
02:08Oh, that's good.
02:14Hello, Mr. Stanger.
02:15Oh, howdy, folks.
02:16How are you, sir?
02:17Oh, about the same.
02:19Let's see, you were up here, oh, four weekends past, wasn't it?
02:23Three.
02:24Oh.
02:24Mr. and Mrs. Angel, the shady rest cabin.
02:27Oh, now I place you.
02:29How's everything in San Bernardino?
02:31Well, fine, I guess.
02:32We're from Los Angeles.
02:34Oh, sure, now I place you.
02:38I'm going to want two dozen eggs.
02:40Two dozen eggs.
02:41And a couple of pounds of bacon.
02:43Bacon.
02:44And six quarts of milk.
02:46Six quarts?
02:47The other two couple come up with you?
02:48Uh, no, just on nephew.
02:50Oh.
02:50He's a teenager.
02:54You better get 12 quarts.
02:56I have a teenager at home, and I know.
02:59I'm Margaret Spear from the other side of the lake.
03:02Oh, hi, Miss Spear.
03:03This is my husband, Gus Angel.
03:04Hello.
03:05How do you do?
03:05Oh, and this is my daughter, Billie.
03:08Otherwise known as know-it-all spank.
03:11Oh, hi.
03:13And then I'm going to...
03:15Well, honey, look.
03:17Pickles and grime.
03:18And I haven't seen that since I was a kid.
03:20Uh, let's remember to get some.
03:26Uh, well, uh...
03:27Cut it out, huh?
03:30Our nephew's visiting us from Mississippi,
03:32and he's so excited about being up in the mountains.
03:35He says while he's up here,
03:36he's going to study to be a hillbilly.
03:37Well...
03:38Is that so?
03:43Uh, anything else, Mrs. Angel?
03:45Oh, some pancake mix.
03:47Better make it two.
03:48Yeah.
03:49And a pound of butter.
03:52Butter.
03:54Uh, Wheeler.
03:57Boy, whoever has been to this,
03:59sure wasn't any Edison,
04:00but it worked.
04:01Look, Uncle Gus,
04:02when you pull this door here,
04:03it hits the little bell.
04:05The only trouble is,
04:06it does it on the way back, too.
04:09Leave the door alone, huh?
04:11Oh, sure.
04:11Sorry, Uncle Gus.
04:12Don't forget the milk here, Vicki.
04:14Don't worry.
04:15Mr. Spangler's rounding up the herd.
04:17Boy, this place is sure a blast.
04:19Oh, hi.
04:20Hi.
04:20I think that's about all, Mr. Spangler.
04:22Oh, uh, oh, you mentioned pickles.
04:25Hey, mister,
04:25all your fish are dead.
04:32Come on.
04:33I'll take them in the jar, please.
04:38Oh, boy, did you ever see so much junk?
04:41This is like a real young-belly store.
04:43You know what this is, Aunt Vicki?
04:45A butter churn.
04:46And look at that fat old wreck
04:47standing over there.
04:52What's the matter, Wheeler?
04:53Well, I meant the pot-bellied stove.
04:54Not that fat.
04:56Not that lady.
04:57Not that lady.
04:58Never mind.
04:59Just never mind, Wheeler.
05:03I, uh, would you put that on the charge,
05:04please, Mr. Spangler?
05:05Uh, yes, of course.
05:06I'm sure he didn't mean that you, uh,
05:13well, you know how thoughtless teenagers are.
05:16A lot depends on their upbringing, Mr. Angel.
05:20Howard, here's my list.
05:22Will you please send them over in the morning?
05:24Yes, ma'am.
05:24I, uh, I just don't know what to say.
05:38Well, honest, mister, I'm at the pot-bellied stove.
05:40Not that fat.
05:41Forget it.
05:45Oh, hello, Mr. and Mrs. Jensen.
05:46I'll be with you in a minute.
05:47Hey, they used to be city folks.
05:52Live here all the year around now.
05:54They like it up here.
05:55We know them.
05:56Do?
05:56We were at a party at their house once.
05:59Oh, honey, they wouldn't remember us.
06:01Sure they will.
06:02I sold them quite a policy.
06:04Hey, what are you whisper about?
06:07Hello, Mr. Jensen?
06:09Why, hello there.
06:11Uh, look who's here.
06:13Well, for heaven's sake.
06:15How have you been?
06:18Well, fine.
06:20How about you?
06:21Couldn't be better.
06:23That's a small world, isn't it?
06:26It certainly is.
06:28Mr. Angel was just saying, he said,
06:31Vicki, he said, I'll bet you haven't seen the Jansons
06:34since their party last June.
06:36And I said, that's right.
06:38And I'll bet you haven't seen Mr. Jansons
06:40since you sold him that insurance policy.
06:42Gus?
06:42And I'll bet I've told Paul a thousand times
06:45we must have Gus and Vicki Angel up to the lodge.
06:48Haven't I, Paul?
06:50Practically every day, Catherine.
06:58This is our nephew, Wheeler.
07:00Oh, hi.
07:01Oh, your nephew, huh?
07:03How old are you, Wheeler?
07:04Well, I'm 16, sir.
07:06Oh, how nice.
07:09Are you going to the welcome dance tomorrow night, Wheeler?
07:12We haven't even heard about the dance.
07:14Wheeler hasn't even seen our cabin yet.
07:16Put three tickets in with their groceries, Mr. Spangler.
07:19Oh, you simply must come.
07:22Well, that's very nice of you.
07:24We'd love to.
07:24I didn't want to give you Uncle enough a hand.
07:25We've got to go.
07:26That's very sweet.
07:27Well, it is very nice to see you.
07:28Bye.
07:29Goodbye.
07:29By the way, where are you staying?
07:32Oh, we're at 17 Ponderosa Road.
07:34Bye.
07:35Well, I'm going to see you.
07:36Yeah.
07:37Bye.
07:38Bye, Mr. Spangler.
07:39Bye.
07:40Hello, Hallie.
07:42How are you?
07:52Well, here we are.
07:56Boy, this place is as rusty as you said it was.
08:01Rusty.
08:01Oh, I'm glad you like it up here, Will.
08:05We were a little afraid you might get bored.
08:07Me?
08:08Why, this is the kind of junk I like.
08:10Did you ever stop to think that city living makes us a bunch of flabby misfits?
08:14Well, now, take you and Uncle Gus.
08:15Thanks a lot.
08:19Well, you're doing something about it.
08:20You bought this place up here in the mountains so you wouldn't get any flabbier than you already are.
08:24I'm always saying something I don't mean.
08:28We understand, Will.
08:30Say, did the Jackson strike you as acting a little peculiar?
08:34Now that you mention it, yes.
08:36That's a telephone.
08:38I know, but it's broke.
08:39The numbers fell off.
08:42That's a party line.
08:43You just tell the operator, whoever you want.
08:45Boy, these hillbillies up here are smarter than I thought.
08:49Down home, we have to die.
08:50Honey, I don't want to lecture you, but I do want you to understand something.
08:59Your Uncle Gus and I come up here every three or four weeks,
09:02and we just have to get along with the people who live up here all year round.
09:06So, in case you have to go to the store for something,
09:09would you try to think a little before you point at somebody
09:12and say, look at that fat old wreck over there?
09:15I'm at the stove, honest, Aunt Vicki.
09:17I know you did, but you just don't think before you talk.
09:22See, your Uncle Gus and I believe that the permanent residents up here
09:27resent the weekenders a little bit.
09:29So we have to be real careful.
09:32After all, these people aren't hicks or hillbillies.
09:37Okay, end of lecture.
09:40I dig it, Aunt Vicki.
09:42You know, sometimes I get to thinking about me, and you're right.
09:44Well, my tongue starts talking before my brain finds out what's going on.
09:51Uncle Gus, you shouldn't do that.
09:53Well, there's an old man down home that threw his back outlifting everything.
09:59What a little morale booster he is.
10:03Wheeler explained the whole thing to me, darling.
10:05His tongue just has a head start on his brain.
10:08And Vicki, your refrigerator ain't making any ice cubes.
10:11It's a new invention, Wheeler.
10:15It's called an ice box.
10:17You put ice in it, and it keeps things cold.
10:19Well, what's that?
10:20Down home, we have to plug them in.
10:22The transistors must be busted or something, Uncle Gus.
10:38I hear voices.
10:39That's a party line, Wheeler, and we don't butt in on conversations.
10:43Oh, okay.
10:44Wheeler, we have a delicate problem up here.
10:47Well, I know, Uncle Gus.
10:48Aunt Vicki explained it to me.
10:49She says the hicks up here don't like to be called hillbillies.
10:55And the next time I see two fat old wrecks standing side by side,
10:58I should make sure the one I point to the stove.
11:04That's not quite it, but you get the idea.
11:08Maybe I ought to apologize to that lady, Uncle Gus.
11:10I could tell her that I was pointing at the stove,
11:13but she took up so much room.
11:14No, no, that's...
11:15Why not something smooth like, um...
11:20Say something, Mrs. Pierce,
11:21or I'll know which one of you to put the coal in.
11:30Who have you been talking to?
11:32Uh, nobody.
11:35Thank goodness.
11:36Hello?
11:37Hello?
11:37Hello?
11:38Hello?
11:39Hello?
11:40Hello?
11:42Hello?
11:47What are you thinking?
11:51I was just wondering how smart it was
11:53to let Wheeler go down to the village for ice by himself.
11:56Very smart.
11:57It was the only way I could get you to myself.
11:59Mm-hmm.
12:00Probably the juvenile authorities.
12:09Hello?
12:10Oh, how are you?
12:10Hi, how are you?
12:11Oh, what a lovely place you have.
12:14Uh-huh.
12:15Yeah.
12:15Why, uh, we just dropped by
12:18to see if you'd like to help us decorate the canoe club
12:21tomorrow afternoon for the dance.
12:23It's, uh, well, it's sort of a social privilege up here.
12:27Well, I'd love to.
12:29Guess you're in good with the natives.
12:32You'd be fine.
12:33Say, I'd like you to meet our daughter.
12:35Oh.
12:36Come in here, honey.
12:37Come in, Christine.
12:44Well, nobody's going to bite you, Christine.
12:47This is Mr. and Mrs. Angel.
12:50Straighten up, dear.
12:52We're very happy to meet you, Christine.
12:55What do you say to Mrs. Angel?
12:59Uh, too bad Wheeler isn't here.
13:00He went down to the village.
13:02Uh, uh, Wheeler's their nephew, dear.
13:04Won't you all sit down, for goodness sake?
13:06Oh, uh, no, I'm sorry, but we really can't stay.
13:09Well, are we going to see you at the dance, too, Christine?
13:12Well, she doesn't want to go because she doesn't have a date.
13:14Why doesn't Wheeler take Christine?
13:20Why, fine, sure.
13:24I don't know what his plans are.
13:26What plans?
13:27Wheeler doesn't know anybody up here.
13:28He'll be happy to take Christine.
13:31No.
13:32Oh, that, that, that just sounds wonderful.
13:34Now, I'll check with you later to find out the details.
13:37Oh, then, oh, we really must go now.
13:39Straighten up, dear.
13:41Uh, what do you say to the angels?
13:43Nice to have met you.
13:45Nice meeting you, too, Christine.
13:47Thanks so much for coming.
13:48We'll, we'll, I'll see you tomorrow.
13:49All right, nice to see you.
13:51Oh, what those people are doing to that poor child.
14:05And, honey, I know you were more or less trapped into it,
14:07but I've learned we must never arrange dates for Wheeler.
14:11Oh, he's a good-hearted kid.
14:12He won't mind.
14:14I'm thinking of Christine.
14:17You'll probably point at that poor self-conscious little thing
14:20until her, the kindergarten went that-a-way.
14:25Even Wheeler has more sense than that.
14:30Boy, this is what I call an ice cube.
14:35I told him down there, I said,
14:36you hillbillies are pretty smart packing ice that's on us.
14:39They don't talk much, do they?
14:44It depends on who is insulting him.
14:47Who were the people in the big car were just left?
14:49Well, those were clients and those were friends of your Uncle Gus's.
14:54Did you get a good looking at them?
14:55Nope.
14:56Looked like a lady and a man and a dog in the back seat.
15:07Wheeler, we were wondering if you'd do us a favor.
15:11Sure, Uncle Gus.
15:12Hey, guess what?
15:13What?
15:13I'm taking Billy Spangler to the dance.
15:28Just introduce yourself around.
15:29Everybody's so friendly up here.
15:32Hello there.
15:35Hi, Mrs. Spears.
15:42Hi.
15:43What's the matter with everybody?
15:44I haven't even broke anything yet.
15:48Well, whatever it is, be as friendly as you can.
15:55Oh, Mrs. Angel.
15:56How nice of you to come and help.
15:58I'll get you a ladder and some pins and put you right to work.
16:02Let's see.
16:02I think I left the pins up on the table.
16:05Oh.
16:06I see who brought Wheeler.
16:09Christine's just dying to meet him.
16:11Oh, Mrs. Jansen.
16:13I'm afraid Wheeler already made arrangements for tonight.
16:16And he won't be able to take Christine to the dance.
16:22Well, hi.
16:23Look at that clunky girl over there, Vicki.
16:30Mrs. Jansen has some work for us to do, Wheeler.
16:33Why don't you get the pins?
16:34They're up on the table.
16:35She must think she's little Bo Peep.
16:38Will you just go get the pins, Wheeler?
16:41Yeah, looking at the right one, Aunt Vicki.
16:42There, and the get the pins!
16:45Come back, boo.
16:48Oh, nice to see you again, Mrs. Jansen.
16:50He just doesn't think.
16:55He's really a wonderful boy.
16:57What a shame it doesn't show.
17:00Come along, Christine.
17:02Please, Mrs. Jansen, don't be like that.
17:04Hello, Christine.
17:09Is there something I could do to help Mrs. Spear?
17:16No, thank you.
17:19Oh, on second thought, perhaps you'd like to do something about making it a little warmer in here.
17:25I'll keep talking so you'll know which stove to put the coal in.
17:37Mrs. Spear, I was merely correcting my nephew, and even he wasn't being malicious.
17:41Mrs. Angel, it appears that your nephew thinks he's taking my daughter to the dance.
17:48Well, he invited her, and she accepted.
17:51We hillbillies think that he had no right to ask her, knowing he already had a date with my son.
17:57That's right.
17:59Well, wait a minute.
18:01Isn't that up to her?
18:02Here's the pins, Aunt Vicki.
18:03Oh, may I?
18:04Oh, there!
18:04Wheeler, I understand Billy already had a date with another boy.
18:13Yeah, but her and me and him don't care.
18:15But her paw acts as kind of jerky about it.
18:16Wheeler!
18:19I think he's insecure.
18:20I...
18:21Go!
18:22Get some more pins!
18:24Oh, oh, oh, excuse me, sir.
18:25I thought you...
18:26Oh, oh, boy.
18:30Mr. Spear, I can...
18:31I can explain this whole thing that you...
18:34Mrs. Spear, I can explain this whole thing that you're talking about.
18:38You see, what happened...
18:39Wheeler had never...
18:41Mrs. Angel, I don't know how much of this is deliberate.
18:51Deliberate?
18:52You and your family seem to be going out of your way to make things uncomfortable for the people up here.
18:57Oh, that's not true.
18:59We love it up here.
19:00But you certainly have a strange way of showing it.
19:02I should say you do.
19:03It just so happens I was listening on the party line and heard you insult the whole community.
19:09No, I didn't.
19:10And I assure you that never in my life have I been referred to as a pot-bellied stole.
19:17And I don't know why you think you have the right to come up here and humiliate us.
19:21We live in the mountains, but we're not hillbillies.
19:24And furthermore, your nephew is extremely rude.
19:28And when youngsters are rude, they've learned it from their elders.
19:31It rubs off.
19:32And speaking for the whole village, if you don't like us, you can very well take your family and leave.
19:37Excuse me.
19:38It's quite obvious that you've...
19:39Well, I know it ain't polite to talk to grown-ups like I'm going to, but you ain't being polite to Aunt Vicki either.
19:45Her and Uncle Gus have been trying to tell me that you folks ain't hillbillies and that I should be careful what I say because it ain't polite to hurt nice people's feelings.
19:54And I thought my Aunt Vicki was right about you folks until now.
19:57But nice folks don't hurt people.
19:59And there's two sides to every story.
20:02Well, anyway, bawl me out if you want to.
20:06But don't talk to me, Aunt Vicki, because I think she's a real lady.
20:11Thank you, Wheeler.
20:15Now let's get out of here.
20:18What happened then?
20:39That's when the balloons went up.
20:43And then I sent a bunch of silly junk and we left.
20:46Silly junk?
20:47Gus, he was...
20:49Well, he gave him quite a blast.
20:53Yeah, I'm sorry, Uncle Gus.
20:55What a ridiculous mess this is.
20:57He said he was sorry, Gus.
21:01Listen, we're going to that dance.
21:04We are?
21:04You're darn right we are.
21:06No one's going to make my family hole up like squirrels in a tree.
21:09Gee, Uncle Gus, you're a real crash.
21:13We're going to that party and we're going to have a good time.
21:15Right, Wheeler?
21:15Right.
21:16Right there, Vicki.
21:16I'll go change.
21:22I want to hear one of them say just one word out of line, that's all.
21:26Good evening.
21:29Uh, ladies and gentlemen, I know it's early, but we might as well get started.
21:34As you all know, this is our welcome dance.
21:40So, you all year-rounders pick the partner you'd like to welcome to the village.
21:46Welcome to the village, Mr. Angel.
22:07Welcome to the village, Wheeler.
22:08Come on, let's blast off.
22:09Come on, let's blast off.
22:10Uh, no thanks.
22:11Well, I can't.
22:12Here comes your old man, your father.
22:16Uh, Mrs. Angel?
22:17Mr. Spangler, I'm sorry about what I said.
22:20Oh, don't just stand there, boy.
22:22Go on and blast off.
22:23He's a nice kid.
22:29They both are.
22:30You know, that speech he made this afternoon wasn't a Gettysburg address, but it sure made
22:35us stop and think.
22:37Welcome to the village.
22:57Thank you, Mrs. Spangler.
23:00No, it's true.
23:02Oh, you're doing all right.
23:05It certainly was.
23:06Oh, that was fun.
23:09Gus, do you think we ought to get Wheeler to ask Christine for just one dance?
23:14No, sweetheart.
23:15That's exactly what Chanson expects us to do.
23:18Client or no client, Wheeler dances with anybody he wants to.
23:21Boy, hey, Mr. Ball, I want to get some punch.
23:23Wheeler.
23:27Gus.
23:30You know, Wheeler is right.
23:31She does dress like little Bo Peep.
23:35Honey, we'd better get over this.
23:39Boy, what a clunky thing to say.
23:41That thing couldn't possibly hold more than two gallons.
23:44It can, too.
23:45Because the opaqueness of the cut glass, it, it, well, it makes all kinds of optical illusions.
23:50Well, maybe.
23:53What's your name?
23:55Chris.
23:56Mine's Wheeler.
23:57How come you wear those clunky clothes?
24:02What's wrong with them?
24:03Well, you look like little Miss Muffet, and that's a toughest virus all was.
24:09Like we say down home.
24:10You can't tell if Flamingo's got good looks until he comes out of the swamp.
24:13Do, do I have good looks?
24:17Well, sure.
24:18Wanting your daddy's shirt and some blue jeans?
24:20You'd be a blast.
24:22Just say that thing don't hold more than two gallons.
24:24Sure it does.
24:25Okay, let's go.
24:37I'm good.
24:38Well, you got cheese last night.
24:40Come on.
24:41Come on.
24:42We got you.
24:46All right.
24:51Come on.
24:52Come on.
24:52Come on.
24:53Come on.
24:54Come on.
