00:00You have a date with the Angels, starring Betty White, Bill Williams as Gus Angel.
00:28The time? Five months after Vicki and Gus Angel were married. The main character? One stork. The plot? Rock-a-bye... Boo-boo.
00:50The doctor always gives long reassuring talks to new mothers when babies get close.
00:56Mr. Clemson and my husband are picking us up here. Gonna take us to lunch.
01:00That's all for today, Mrs. Clemson. Now remember, stay on the protein diet with an occasional bit of cuttlebone.
01:08Cuttlebone?
01:11For the stork.
01:15Vicki, Dr. Gordon says only three more weeks.
01:18About. And that's barring any unscheduled flights.
01:22Oh, honey, that's wonderful. Wilma, did you tell Dr. Gordon what we were talking about?
01:29Dr. Gordon, in the last month or two, George has become quite nervous. But you've seen him.
01:38Yes, yes, I have. We have a medical term for his condition. He's coming unglued.
01:45Fine. He even checked to make sure you really went to medical school.
01:54Yes, I heard that. I understood he was very much upset when he found that I graduated fifth in my class.
02:02He wondered if they could get the four ahead of me.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Well, do you think you might talk to him, Doctor?
02:09I love him, but he's wearing me out with attention.
02:13Can't you see that idea is plain stupid?
02:16I'm telling you, Gus, I don't trust that elevator.
02:18Oh, hi, Doc.
02:19Hi.
02:20Hello, Mother.
02:21Oh, Gus.
02:22Hi, sweetheart.
02:23Now, what's this about the elevator?
02:24Well, this is an old building, and I don't want Wilma riding that elevator.
02:27That thing's on its last legs.
02:29How's she gonna get downstairs?
02:31Well, she can lean on me, and we'll walk down.
02:34Eleven flights?
02:37I just don't want her all joggled up.
02:40That's all, right?
02:42Well, I'm all joggled up just thinking about it.
02:45Oh, I'm sorry, Doc. I'm not myself these days.
02:49Uh, Doc.
02:52I didn't mean that, and I forgot my manners completely.
02:55It's good to see you, Doc.
02:57Good to see you.
02:58Hi, Vicki.
02:59Hi, Gus.
03:00Nice to see you again.
03:02George.
03:03George.
03:04Dr. Gordon says George Jr. will be here in about three weeks.
03:07Catch him.
03:08Well, that's all the more reason to be careful.
03:10We gotta find a doctor.
03:12Oh.
03:15I'm sorry, Doc.
03:16I didn't mean that.
03:17You know that.
03:18It's not that I don't trust you.
03:19Oh, I know.
03:20It's just that you don't have a doctor friend, do you?
03:23You see, I thought, maybe, that both of you...
03:25Uh, Mr. Clemson, I have a little book that I want you to take home and read.
03:31It's called, What to Expect of the Expectant Father.
03:35Not the Lord.
03:40Boy, he's a mess.
03:43I guess waiting 14 years for your first child gives you a right to be.
03:48But this is the worst I've ever seen him.
03:50Oh.
03:51You should see him at home.
03:53Dr. Gordon will simmer him down.
03:55From now on, you let us do the worrying.
03:56All right.
03:58Gus, we've gotta do something.
04:00Well, maybe we can think of something down at the office.
04:02All the boys do is talk about the baby anyway.
04:05You'll find some excellent advice in there for the first time, Father.
04:10Thoughtful consideration should be the keynote.
04:12With no heavy-handed efforts at being helpful where help is neither needed nor wanted.
04:17Now, that makes sense.
04:19Honey, you shouldn't be lifting heavy things.
04:22Doc, if she doesn't take care of herself, I'm going to.
04:25So long, Doc.
04:26See you later.
04:27Come on, honey, let's go.
04:28Thank you, Dr. Gordon.
04:29Come on, honey.
04:30Walk down all the slums.
04:31It'll be easy.
04:32She's not sick for him.
04:33Come on.
04:34Come on.
04:35Oh, let him fight with him.
04:37And remember, Mr. Clemson, we've never lost a father yet.
04:41But I'd be willing to try.
04:47I tell you, women just don't realize what a father goes through.
04:56First he's happy, then he's miserable, and he doesn't trust anybody, and finally just becomes numb.
05:02Like that?
05:03Like that?
05:06Like that.
05:08If I had it to do over again, I'd take the diaper service.
05:14Wilma's mother's gonna be here for a week or so. She can do that.
05:17Uh-uh.
05:18You just can't let that grandmother thing get out of hand.
05:20I'll buy that, Carl.
05:21Those grandmas are murder.
05:24When I had my baby, Eve's little tiny mother turned up and turned into a regular Julius Caesar.
05:32Oh, sure.
05:34How about when your own mother shows up?
05:36Oh!
05:38The two mothers team up with your wife, and the three of them throw you right out of the house.
05:43Sounds like the easiest thing is having the baby.
05:46Just don't ever say it's easy, Gus.
05:49You've no idea how I suffered.
05:52You know Eve was in there darn near two hours?
05:56Naturally, it was a boy.
05:59Somewhere I heard that the first one usually is a boy, is it?
06:01Always, always.
06:02What do you mean, always?
06:04Just what I said, always.
06:05Well, how can you say always?
06:06Well, you'll read...
06:07Well, 50% of people are girls, aren't they?
06:08Well, 50% of people are girls, aren't they?
06:09Any medical journal will tell you that the first one...
06:10But the fellas...
06:12I'm not going through with it.
06:17It's a little late to back out now, George.
06:20Besides, it'll be the first office, baby.
06:23Go ahead, George. We all want to be uncles.
06:26All right.
06:29Shall I have tea sent in, gentlemen?
06:30Oh, I couldn't eat a thing.
06:34George, try to get your mind off the baby and onto your work.
06:37You think no one around here ever had a child before?
06:40Well, as we were saying, sir, it is the first office, baby.
06:42Yes, I know.
06:43But I don't like to see business come to a complete standstill for personal matters.
06:46I understand, sir.
06:47How's Wilma holding up?
06:49George seems to be her main problem.
06:51He's so worried about her that she just isn't getting the rest she should get.
06:54She has to put up with it for three more weeks, sir.
06:57Three weeks?
06:58Yes, sir.
06:59I was going to ask either you or Koenig to run down to San Diego for a couple of days on that Sheffield account.
07:04But it might simplify things to send Clemson.
07:07He'd never go, sir.
07:08He has no choice.
07:10Clemson!
07:11It's routine fire insurance.
07:13He can't possibly do anything wrong.
07:15And it's only a half an hour's flying time.
07:17Wilma should really need him.
07:20Clemson, Angel's in a bit of a bind on that Sheffield deal down in San Diego.
07:26So, I'm sending you.
07:29Oh, you'll be able to handle it easily.
07:31It's a simple thing for you.
07:32After all, you're one of the best men I've got.
07:35How beautiful, Sheffield.
07:36Oh.
07:42I'm doing everything Vicki tells me.
07:46How's San Diego?
07:49I'm sure it'll be a boy.
07:54Honey, if I didn't like the name George, I never would have married you.
08:00Well, take the pills Dr. Gordon gave you.
08:04George, honey, we have four numbers where we can reach you.
08:10Bye.
08:12He's still pretty excited.
08:14Well, men are supposed to get excited at a time like this.
08:17I think it's sweet of him to call so often.
08:20Nine times in 24 hours?
08:25I just hope he calms Don after George Jr. comes.
08:28Well, if he doesn't, just give him the baby and let him walk the floor.
08:32Good idea. Thanks, then.
08:34Oh, Vicki, I'm so glad somebody's calm.
08:41I just wish you could stay right here until the baby arrives.
08:42I just wish you could stay right here until the baby arrives.
08:43Mm-hmm.
08:44Mm-hmm.
08:45Anything special you feel like for dinner?
08:46Mm-hmm.
08:47Mm-hmm.
08:48Mm-hmm.
08:49Mm-hmm.
08:50Dr. Gordon said you needed plenty of protein and lots of quiet.
08:53Mm-hmm.
08:54Guess we'd better find you some quiet protein.
08:55Mm-hmm.
08:57Mm-hmm.
08:58Wilma?
09:00Wilma?
09:01Dr. Gordon said you needed plenty of protein and lots of quiet.
09:07Guess we'd better find you some quiet protein.
09:12Wilma?
09:15Vicki, I think we'd better go to the hospital.
09:19All right.
09:22We'll see you next time.
09:24Now, you sit right there and I'll, um, your hospital bag's all packed.
09:39I'll call the doctor and we'll get the car out and we'll be on our way.
09:54Now, let's go.
09:58Vicki, before we left the house, did you call...
10:02Honey, I let them know we were coming.
10:04No, no, I didn't mean to...
10:06What I meant was, did you really call...
10:09I called the doctor and I let them know down at the office.
10:11Now, you sit right here and relax.
10:13Miss, the nurse...
10:24Melvin, I called about 20 minutes ago, Mrs. Clemson.
10:31Name?
10:32Clemson.
10:34Oh, Wilma.
10:35Wilma Clemson.
10:44She prints.
10:50E or O?
10:52Beg your pardon?
10:54Clemson.
10:54Is it spelled with an E or an O?
10:57O, E.
10:58O, and there's an O, too, at the end.
11:01C-L-E-M-S-O-N.
11:07Address?
11:08717 West Guthrie Avenue.
11:13Would it be possible to hurry just a little if you...
11:16Excuse me.
11:21Now, who is the doctor, please?
11:23Franklin P. Gordon.
11:26Why, Dr. Gordon is an obstetrician.
11:29Well, yeah.
11:30We're going to have a baby any minute.
11:32Oh, well, you didn't tell me it was a maternity case.
11:37Oh, maternity case would have to be registered on the blue card.
11:47Name?
11:48Wilma Clemson.
11:49And, gee, you had it all done on this card.
11:53Let's be calm, shall we?
11:56It's so important.
11:58Now, then, father's name?
12:05George Clemson.
12:06Spelled the same way.
12:10And that address was, um, he's in San Diego.
12:17Oh, George.
12:19The address, please.
12:22Wilma.
12:22Oh, uh, it's 717 West Guthrie Avenue.
12:29Are you all right, sweetie?
12:31I'm fine.
12:33Doctor?
12:34No, no, no, no.
12:35I'm fine.
12:35This is Mrs. Clemson and her friend, Miss Beisman.
12:43How do you do?
12:46112 hasn't rung the buzzer for 10 minutes.
12:48Well, that's a record for him, isn't it?
12:49The buzzer's broken.
12:50Oh.
12:51125 checked out and left a box of candy for us.
12:53Oh, that's nice of her.
12:55Are you all right, Wilma?
12:56Oh, she's fine.
12:58Oh.
12:58Come with me, Mrs. Clemson.
13:02Well, Vicki?
13:02No, it's good-bye.
13:05I won't.
13:32Here, I have two nickels.
13:34Oh, thank you, but I have to call San Diego.
13:36Well, reverse the charges.
13:38Of course.
13:39Oh, please.
13:54Mom, guess what he is, a boy or a girl?
13:56How'd you guess?
14:02Eight pounds.
14:04And there's a lady outside the booth here, and even she looks stunned.
14:08I'll call Dad, will you, Mom?
14:11He's a giant.
14:19Is the baby born yet?
14:20I mean, uh, did Mrs. Clemson get here all right?
14:22Mrs. Clemson, she's having one of your babies.
14:36Maternity to the left.
14:37Thanks.
14:48We're having more put in.
14:50There's a phone booth across the street if you're in a hurry.
15:14This one's a father for the first time.
15:17He's calling people who don't even know he's married.
15:20But Mr. Clemson's in San Diego.
15:23He'll make it.
15:24I have nine kids, and when they called me for the seventh, I was in Phoenix.
15:28Got here in time to read Gone with the Wind.
15:32But I didn't call Mr. Clemson at all.
15:36Excuse me.
15:36If Mrs. Clemson needs me, I'll be across the street.
15:41That'll be fine.
15:48Oh, Vicki.
15:49Gus.
15:50Gus, I've done a terrible thing.
15:52I forgot to call George.
15:54He should be here to have this baby, and nobody called him.
15:57Sure they did.
15:57When you called me, I told Ross to call him.
16:00You did?
16:00Sure, and you should see the excitement down at the office.
16:03Oh, darling, what would I ever do without you?
16:05You just can't imagine the relief.
16:07What did he say?
16:07Well, I'll have to ask you to keep your voices down.
16:11How's Willen?
16:12Any word on Mrs. Clemson while I was gone?
16:14Nothing further.
16:18Oh, sweetheart, she was so brave.
16:20I wish you could have seen her.
16:21And that gentleman right over there had an eight-pound boy,
16:24and he's telling everybody.
16:25Oh, and I want you to meet Mr. Davenport.
16:27Mr. Davenport, this is my husband.
16:29The name's Nemeth.
16:30I told her I sell furniture.
16:32Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Nemeth.
16:35Mr. Nemeth's been so kind.
16:37He lent me money for the phone,
16:38and he's sure George is going to get here in time.
16:40And he's the father of nine children, and...
16:43Nine?
16:45Going on ten.
16:47And as long as you've told George,
16:49there's nothing to worry about.
16:50Except Wilma.
16:59Dear you!
17:00Come back here!
17:03Don't you realize you're in a hospital?
17:08Now then, who did you wish to see?
17:12Mrs. George Ignatius Clemson.
17:14Now I'll take your name.
17:16Thompson.
17:17Well, Nurse Thompson,
17:18I'm going to see the superintendent.
17:19Here, where are you letting that fellow sue?
17:21Hey, Harold, come back here.
17:24Well, Ross, I didn't know it was you.
17:26Heck, you didn't.
17:27Why are we being detained?
17:29Whom did you wish to see?
17:30Mrs. Clemson, please.
17:32Maternity, to the left.
17:33Well, now, I could have told them that.
17:35Her name is Thompson.
17:36When this thing is all over,
17:37I'm going to come to the superintendent.
17:38I'm going to come to the right.
17:39I love it.
17:39I love it.
17:48Yes, I tell you, I'm perfectly all right.
17:52And tell them to stop looking at me.
17:54Come on, honey.
17:55Let's get some more water, huh?
17:57Come on.
17:58Add it, girl.
17:59The walk will do you good.
17:59I don't want any more water.
18:01A little bit more.
18:03If Vicki knew how they ran these hospitals,
18:05she'd stop worrying.
18:06How do you mean?
18:08Well, we've been here for over an hour,
18:09and I guarantee you,
18:10that baby was born 20 minutes ago.
18:15Who told you that?
18:17Well, it stands to reason, Vicki.
18:19Look, Wilma isn't the only patient here.
18:21And they can't come charging out here
18:23and tell us every time a new baby is born.
18:25Oh, sure.
18:26They save them up till they have a nice big fat batch.
18:28Then they announce them all at once.
18:31Well, Dr. Gordon would let us know right away,
18:35wouldn't he?
18:36Well, it's been my experience.
18:37They notify you as quickly as possible.
18:39Ha!
18:40What does he know?
18:43Carl, don't start making up stories
18:45just to try to make me feel good.
18:46Now, Vicki, I've studied this whole thing
18:48in medical journals, and I know...
18:49I have to ask you to keep your voices down.
18:54Just the same, Vicki.
18:55I can tell you with some authority,
18:56because I've had two children,
18:58it can't be much longer.
19:01An hour's a long time.
19:03That's good to know.
19:04Thank you, Ross.
19:05Feel better, sweetheart.
19:08I can't imagine.
19:13Bernadie!
19:14Oh, Dr. Gordon!
19:15Will you be here soon?
19:19He isn't even here!
19:20Dr. James said Mrs. Clemson
19:22will be ready for you shortly.
19:24Fine, doctor.
19:27Mrs. Clemson's doing nicely.
19:29The doctor will be here in plenty of time.
19:31Oh, good.
19:32Now, just don't you worry.
19:33Well, I guess that takes care of everybody.
19:44My old scoutmaster really took it big.
19:49How did your wife's parents take it?
19:51Oh, my gosh!
19:58Incidentally, Ross,
19:59what did George say when he heard the news?
20:01I wish I'd heard him.
20:02What did he say?
20:03How should I know?
20:04What was his reaction, Gus?
20:07Didn't anybody call George?
20:09Well, Ross, you were supposed to...
20:11You were not...
20:12Oh, thanks for the tip.
20:16Long distance?
20:18There's a photo group on the street.
20:19Well, I don't tell you.
20:20Well, maybe Mr. Malcolm.
20:21Oh, Mr. Malcolm,
20:22do you know that the Angels
20:23forgot to notify Clemson?
20:25It wasn't Vicki's fault.
20:26Well, somebody should have done it.
20:29Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.
20:31I notified Clemson naturally.
20:32I called him a minute and just told me.
20:34Now, that was real executive thinking.
20:36Yes, sir.
20:36I go along with Ross on that, sir.
20:38That was real executive...
20:39Wyatt!
20:41Thompson, this is Bightman in maternity.
20:43Don't let any more through for Clemson.
20:46I've got all I can handle.
20:51Right.
20:5286 on the Clemson.
21:00Just a minute.
21:01Just a minute.
21:03It's all right.
21:04I'm the fellow you're expecting.
21:06And now then,
21:07whom did you wish to see?
21:09Wilma.
21:09Wilma who?
21:12No, Wilma Clemson.
21:14Oh, Clemson.
21:17Wait right over there, please.
21:18Good evening.
21:40Good evening, Nurse Thompson.
21:41Come on, now.
21:42Doctor.
21:45Clemson, what are you doing in here?
21:47Well, how do I know?
21:49Mr. Clemson,
21:50this is the father?
21:52One look should have told you.
21:55Come along.
22:01I wonder how Wilma is.
22:03Honey, don't pester the nurse anymore.
22:05I won't.
22:09Mrs. Clemson, it's fine.
22:11Nurse,
22:12I mean this constructively.
22:14I happen to know where Dr. Gordon's office is,
22:17and it shouldn't take him
22:18any hour and a half to get here.
22:20It's been barely ten minutes
22:22since I talked to him.
22:26Listen up.
22:27Oh, boy, I can't sit back.
22:28I'm sorry, she won't have to.
22:29Come on, now.
22:33Come on.
22:34Come on.
22:39Come on.
22:40Come on.
22:41Come on.
22:41Come on.
22:42Come on.
22:43Come on.
22:43Come on.
22:43Come on.
22:43Come on.
22:44Come on.
22:44Come on.
22:44Come on.
22:47Yahoo!
23:02Hello?
23:03George!
23:04George!
23:04George!
23:05George!
23:06George!
23:06George!
23:07George!
23:07George!
23:12When did you get here, boy?
23:14How's Wilma?
23:16Oh, she's just fine.
23:18I am a little bit worried about Dr. Gordon, but...
23:20Oh, me too.
23:21I came in with him a while ago, and he looks a little peeky.
23:25Oh, nurse, is Dr. Gordon here?
23:28The doctor has been here for quite a while.
23:30Why, there, you see, boy?
23:32She's going to love these flowers.
23:34Wait a minute.
23:36We have just welcomed two beautiful twin girls into the world.
23:42Oh, now, George, congratulations, Mrs. Heddle.
23:50Could I see Mrs. Mammoth now?
23:52Come with me. We'll see.
23:56Come on now, Vicki.
23:57This won't get you anywhere.
23:59I've had a lot of experience of falling apart lately, I know.
24:03That's right.
24:03Besides, the twins belong to the other fellow.
24:05And look how calmly he took it, Vicki.
24:07Mr. Clemson, your wife has just presented you with a fine seven-pound boy.
24:16Both she and the child are doing splendidly.
24:18You'll be able to see them in just a little while.
24:22When I read that book, I told myself I'd not be a typical father.
24:27Now, if one of you guys will take each arm and hold me up,
24:29I won't fall on the floor.
24:32I don't want anybody to be able to tell that kid in there
24:34that his father fell on the floor when he was born.
24:37Oh, boy.
24:37He's a boy.
24:39He's a kind of boy.
24:41Give us a cigar.
24:43What a father.
24:44What a father.
24:45Congratulations.
24:46Congratulations.
24:48Honey?
24:49Oh, sweetie, I'll never be able to go through this.
24:54Oh, yes, you will.
24:57Someday.
24:58Got a date with an angel
25:09Going to meet her at seven
25:11Got a date with an angel
25:14And I'm on my way to heaven
