WHAT’S MY LINE?-Taped January 14, 1969

Host: Wally Bruner

Announcer: Johnny Olson

Celebrity Panel:

  • Gene Rayburn (Match Game)
  • Dr. Joyce Brothers (Famous Psychiatrist)
  • Jack Cassidy
  • Arlene Francis

FIRST GUEST: Paul Francis (London, England)

Mr. Francis has had a lot of careers before today: Chef, Hairdresser, Drummer. Today, he’s dealing with a product and salaried.

Arlene: We’re not related, are me?
No, Just Checking
A product I might use?
Yes, men too!
I can hold it in my hand?
No $5

Gene: Does it come in contact with the body?
Yes, but not beyond the hand so No $10

Joyce: When used, do you move it around?
In a loose way
Large enough to be taller than a person?
Sometimes
Large enough for someone to get into?
No $15

Jack: Is the product mobile?
Wally asks again, does he mean place to place? Yes
It’s possible
Outdoors instead of indoors?
No $20

Arlene: Found in a home?
Possibly, but not likely $25

Gene: Anything therapeutic?
No $30

Joyce: Used in the World of Sports?
No $35

Jack: Sold to the consumer market?
In a sense
Would I have to come to you?
Yes
Do you demonstrate the product?
Possibly but No $35

Clue: Paul works in Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

Arlene (Ha, Ha, Ha!): Does it have to do with gambling?
Yes
Do it have to do with the tables?
No $45

Gene: By table, does that include roulette?
Yes (Arlene goes Oh!)
Gene: Do it have to do with the ocean?
The Last No

Arlene wants a guess: SLOT MACHINES! Again, Arlene is too little, too late. Paul specifically repairs them at the Paradise Island Casino in the Bahamas. He originally came to the island as a croupier, then took a six-week course in Chicago, before taking the job. Then the important question: Can you change the odds? Yes! Joyce asks how often the Big Jackpots come along. Well, there’s no rhyme or reason. It depends on the number of symbols on each machine. Jack thinks it’s set by the owners! Wally tries to equate it to how many ways a toothpick fall. In a 24-hour span, Paul figures you’ll lose about 20¢ on every dollar. Some machines can range from $500-$1,000. Back-to-Back Jackpots have happened.

SECOND GUEST: Alice Schiller (Hollywood, CA)

She’s self-employed and deals with a service.

Gene: Do both men and women use this service?
No $5

Joyce: Performed for animals?
No $10

Jack: Service confined to male?
No $15

Arlene: “What else is there?” Women use it?
Yes
Any relation to the entertainment world?
Yes
For women in the entertainment world?
Yes
Either do something for someone or how to someone?
Yes
Show them how to do it?
Yes
Do anything with the way they look?
In the sense, but it’s not the basic part
Do you operate something?
Alice said yes, but when indicating a product, Wally says No $20

Gene: Is this a physical thing?
Yes
Would they get a little “dewy”? What he means is perspiring.
Yes
Would they eventually do it in front of a movie camera?
Yes
Anything to do with losing weight?
No $25

Joyce: Do it have to do with movement?
Yes
In walking or exercise?
No $30

Jack: Looking for a specific area, is it part of the water?
No $35

Arlene, The Art of Self-Defense?
No $40

Gene (who Wally thought would get it in the first try): Do it have to do with love making?
No $45

Joyce: Do you touch the person in any way?
Takes a second before…The Last No

Jack has a thought, does it help women with a relationship? No! Gene is off with stunt driving. Alice TEACHES STRIP TEASE DANCING. Dr. Joyce is curious how Alice can teach that without movement. One black mark for Wally. Mrs. Schiller is the “Dean” of Pink Pussycat College Dancing in Hollywood, California. Requirements include being over 21, fine moral character, and be very serious about strip tease. And, of course, a voluptuous body. At graduation, instead of a degree, they get a stripper’s kit and a T-Shirt. Inscribed is the slogan “The Navel Academy of the West”. Dr. Joyce asks if they take the shirts on or off at graduation. The answer “Both”. For the lady panelists, the kit for one and the shirt for the other.

MYSTERY GUEST:

A great applause

Dr. Joyce: Would I know you from the movies?
Perhaps

Jack: Do you presently have a TV series?
No

Arlene: Are you known for TV apperances?
Yes

Gene: Have you ever appeared in Broadway?
Stumbles out a “Yes, ever” (Not his primary fame)

Joyce: Are you a singer?
Yes

Jack: Have you ever done a Disney film?
Yes

Arlene: Are you appearing presently at a hotel/club in NY?
Almost (to clarify, it will open soon)

Gene:
Do you have a current hit record?
No, I wish I did (15 seconds left)

Joyce: Is the Disney picture a recent one?
Fairly

Jack: Are you that Big, Tall, Handsome, Smashing Baritone John Davidson?
YES

Backstage, John told Wally that Jack Cassidy was his idol and kinda expected “Ol’ Jack” would catch me. That’s “Ol” no “Old”, it’s a term of endearment. John was concerned about sitting down and reading the requirements: “Admission requirements, Over 21, High Moral Character, voluptuous body.” Dr. Joyce will give him the Rhinestone from the Stripper’s Kit for his navel. Psychology of inhibitions, controlling the structural components of the anatomy. Anyway, John is saddened by the end of “Maggie Smith” on Broadway, starring Cassidy. And that night club that John’s is almost performing at the Diversion Room (open now on airdate). Live performances are better than taped for John.

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES-Date Unknown (Around 1956)

Host: Jack Bailey

All contestants in a soundproof booth unaware Olympic decathlete Bob Mathias is in the studio for a surprise.

First Group:

  • Richard Lee (Chinese)
  • Joe Sansini (Italian)
  • Lloyd Yjke (German)
  • Charlis Gibiante (French)

All they have to do is answer a question before Beulah the Buzzer blanks them out. If they don’t, it’s time to pay a penalty.

Question: What is a dry dock?

TIME’S UP!

A thirsty doctor.

Consequence:  Singing Row, Row, Row your Boat as a round, in each men’s native language.  They’ll also be wearing native hats as well. 

Charlis loses the beat, but that’s good enough.  Each receive an RCA clock radio, Bulova Watch and cartons of Old Gold Filters.

Returning guest: George Benson

George Benson won a Jack look-alike contest for $1,000 four weeks ago.  When Benson came to receive his money, however, he was in for a surprise.  Bailey’s grandfather left it in a safe deposit box and a trustee holds the key.  Jack had viewers send him keys to him, and he ended up with over 50,000.  Last week, George was sent to a clothing store window to try all those keys.  He opened the safe and inside…an old Phonograph with a record.  The voice of Grandpa Bailey left a message to meet the trustee, Mr. Higgledy Figgeldy in Des Moines, Iowa.  This wasn’t the end as the money was in a box buried Downtown.  Half the town was already digging by the time Mr. Benson got there, and someone found the lucky box first.  That man got $1,000 for himself, while Mr. Benson only got a slip of paper.  On it was an address for a Chinese Laundry in Boston, MA.  This last week, Benson’s been searching for the right laundry.  Time for an update, his boss is selling more air coolers than ever before.  Dorothy, his wife, has been with him.

After searching 133 laundry centers, George found the right one and was given a bag “To be Opened only in the presence of my squinty eyed grandson, Jack Bailey” He who’s had enough of the chase.  Jack’ll pay $2,500 for the sack of laundry.  George of course says…NO???  Can’t disappoint all those fans with keys. Let’s open the package.  It’s Laundry…I knew it.  But wait, one rob has a $1,000 bill…torn in half.

There goes the phonograph, Grandpa Bailey has another message.  George will get the other half of that bill in the mail, back home by next week.  “See ya later, Alligator” What a wonderful sport!

When George is gone, Jack has another surprise. He needs TV viewers to send a bunch of empty envelopes to Mr. Benson’s address, which we saw just a moment ago.  Again, why didn’t George just take the $2,500??

Moving on…

Two college boys are in a soundproof booth.  Their consequences will be running an obstacle course against an older woman.  In disguise is Bob Mathias.  He and his wife will soon start their own TV show. 

Larry Dominick and Roger Mitchell, both played Basketball in Glendale, CA

Question: What is a parking meter?

TIME’S UP!

A snitching post

Introducing their opponent, Mrs. Ruthie Jones. She was a bloomer girl in the 1800s. Here’s the course:

It starts with a run through the backstage area, down the hallway and backstage right.  Then jumping over two hedges and up two steps, moving hand by hand over a suspended ladder.  If they slip, they fall in a small pool.  The next challenge is climbing over a Marine Net (Cargo Net as American Gladiators would call it) before pole vaulting onto sawdust.  It ends with a quick step to a chair, and the first to sit down wins the bonus.  Mrs. Jones is getting a head start.  She’s across the hallway when Jack finally says Go! 

Mrs. Jones is climbing the Net while the men were crossing the ladder.  Larry falls in the pool.  Mrs. Jones vaults over the pole and is in the chair while only one man is over the net. 

Once the gag is revealed, Bob announces the premiere of the movie “Alexander the Great” at the Fox Welcher.  All proceeds from the showing will go to the U.S. Olympic Fund.  As for the gentlemen, they each get a Graflex 35mm Camera with Tripod and Case…and don’t forget the cigs.

FINAL GUESTS:

Paul Humiston and Dave Ross are next, both expectant fathers selected from the audience.

Question: What’s the slogan of the famous newspaper “The Daily Gesundheit”?

TIME’S UP!

A Paper not to be sneezed at.

For their consequences, the gentlemen will have a baby dressing race.  Winner gets a Maytag Washer and Dryer.  Each will get their own children with baby carriages…but warning, they’re a couple of monkeys.  Three minutes to make it happen.

Surprisingly, the three-time father Paul can’t keep the baby in the carriage.  Dave, a first-time father, Is well ahead.  Both men receive $150 Spiegel Gift Certificates.

WHAT’S MY LINE?-Taped November 7, 1968

Host: Wally Bruner

Announcer: Johnny Olson

Celebrity Panel:

FIRST GUEST: James Proco (NYC)

We already learn he’s an usher right in this theatre and a college student. In between that, he’s salaried and working in a service.

Soupy (After a bit of rambling…) Does it have to do with show biz?

In the broadest sense, on the fringe (“He Makes Fringes”) It’s a Yes

Does it have to do with other people in showbiz?

No $5

Anita: Would I like to use your service?

Indirectly, same for Orson

It doesn’t matter if it’s a man or woman?

It doesn’t matter, Yes

When you perform, do people come to you?

Yes

Do you perform in a building? 

Yes

Do you require a uniform?

Yes     

Anita gets lost finding the next question: Do you use any equipment?

No $10

Orson (who thought Anita was talking instruments of torture): Would people come to you all alone?

No, which means your turn is over, Orson. $15

Arlene: You deal with groups of people?

More Than One

Do you instruct in any way?

James leans to No, but Wally needs a conference.  There may be advice given, but there’s no degree of instruction.  It’s still No $20

Soupy: Do you deal with groups other than people?

No $25

Anita: Do people hire you to take them around a building?

No $30

Orson: Is it a small group/number of people?

Yes

Would it be two?

Not necessarily

Would it help to know what you’re wearing?

Yes

Are you fully clad?

Yes

Wearing a suit like the suit and tie he’s wearing now?

No $35

Arlene: Anything athletic?

No, two to go and 15 seconds left

Soupy: Do you move around?

Another conference after James jumps with a No.  Allegedly, he may have ups and downs.

Soupy: Do you have to touch anything to go up and down?

Wally brings this game to an end

If there’s anything James touches, it might be his nose going up and down the chimney.  Mr. Proco is a DEPARTMENT STORE SANTA CLAUS.  Specifically, at Lord & Taylor’s in NY, and it’s his second year.  It took a while to learn how to get the voice down.  We see some great looking pictures with a wide-eyed kid.  Soupy asks if Jim every got a smack in the face. “Almost!”

Christmas is another story for the panel not figuring this out.  In Soupy’s building, the elevator operator for 18 years is fired because the regular one came back.

SECOND GUEST: Charlotte Drury (Jackson Heights, NY)

After some applause from friends, we learn Charlotte is salaried, in services AND deals with a product

Arlene: A service I might use?

Yes

Requires some dexterity, for her to give it to me?

For the service itself, but let’s focus on the product

Is it a product you can hold it your hand?

No $5

Soupy with the age old Question:  Is it bigger than a bread box?

Yes

A product used by men and women?

Yes

Does it touch the human body?

A quick no, then a conference changes it to Yes

Is it used in the home?

Definite No $10

Anita: Is it used in or near water?

Yes

Is it MUCH larger than a bread box?

Yes

Some sort of boat?

Yes

Do you operate this boat?

The boat is the product, she’s not involved in the operation.  No leeway!  $15 “It’s all yours, Orson”

Orson: Do you instruct in some way?

No $20

Arlene: Boats large enough for three or more passengers?

Yes

Are these decorated by you?

No $25

Soupy: Is it a dinghy?

Too small, “I’m pretty dinghy myself”, We’ll move on

Do you sell boats?

No $30

Anita: Arranging trips on boats?

Yes

Are you a travel agent?

Yes

Is it the liner around Manhattan?

Wally’s had enough!  Charlotte RENTS YACHTS.

Mrs. Drury works for Wakefield Fortune Incorporated arranging cruises.  A new service at the time, Charlotte has become a specialist in this field.  Yachts all have their own crews.  As you’d know from game show history, popular spots include the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Greek Isles.  If Wally and the panel wanted a boat to rent, the smallest they could get would be about 54 ft.  About $206 per person for one week including three meals a day.  A larger, 200ft. power yacht on Mediterranean would take the whole studio.  Total $12,000 a week per person.  The interior is as fancy as any local hotel around here.

MYSTERY GUEST

A strong applause marks his/her arrival

Orson: May I assume that you’re in show business?

Yes

Arlene: Are you known for your work in the theater?

No

Wally says there are some you’d know this guest from theater, but primarily for something else.

Soupy: Would this activity be in motion pictures?

Yes

Anita: Do you live in this city, most of the time?

Wally doesn’t know for sure.  In her business, she would be found in NYC sometimes.

Orson (30 sec. to go): Are you also in TV?

No, not at this moment

Arlene: Are you a singer?

Yes

Soupy: Did you earn your reputation in movies for musicals?

Yes

Anita: Are you in a musical picture right now?

No

Orson: A non-musical picture?

No, 15 seconds

Arlene: Are you appearing in a club or hotel in NYC?

No, TIME’S UP!

It’s Historic Maggie Flynn, SHIRLEY JONES

Honest Answers:

Mark Rafferty (Staten Island, NY) for Anita:  How tall are you?  You seem so little, how do you get into mini-skirts?

Answer: 5’1” in stocking feet, but she often says 5’3”.  And she buys clothes in the Junior Department.  Not many mini-skirts, though

Larry Schmidt (Potsdam, PA) for Orson: “Where did you get the name Orson Bean?”

Answer: He made it up.  His real name is Dallas Burrows which he said “Sounds Like a name a nut like Orson Bean would make Up” One last letter for “Souper Sales” but not enough time.

ALL-NEW LET’S MAKE A DEAL-September 24, 1984

Host: Monty Hall

Featuring: Brian Cummings and Karen LaPierre

Yes, week two is on for the return of Let’s Make a Deal, for fans who’ve never forgotten the show.  Those who’re too young to have see it, prepare to get Zonked!

First Trader: Deborah Bradley (Pickle with bumpy dress, “Let’s Make a Dill” sign and a “Deal Monty” hat)

Monty has something in his hand…a dime.  But it’s a dime dated 1875.  What does that mean?  It could be worth Brian’s small box.  Deborah keeps her little dime.  Inside the box…A LOW-RENT FUR COAT from Monty’s wife closet…along with a $1,000 bill.  Debra does get the coat and keeps the dime, but she’ll have to wait to find out its value later.

Right now, we have three wallets. They’re going to…

Irene Garcia (nurse), Steve Geiger (brown apron) and Mary Sanchez (Unofficial Mother of the Olympics)

Some have $1 or $2, and if it’s $2, that’s what they get…200 cents. If it’s just $1, it can buy a real fur coat: a Dicker and Dicker Davina Bukhara/Fox Coat ($3,000) Irene, who’s really an order entry operator, can keep her red wallet or trade for the big box. She’ll trade giving up on…Two Dollar Bills. Instead, she gets a Samsung Microwave and White-Westinghouse 17 cu. ft. Fridge/Freezer packed with Champale. ($1,364.45)

Steve’s wife would love that fur. Is there just one bill inside his tan wallet? Would he rather trade for Curtain #2, which has a KFC certificate? he won’t know what’s inside until he decides. Steve keeps the wallet, so now we’ll see the curtain had some fur…THREE GIANT PLUSH DOGS!

In the wallet, ONE DOLLAR WORTH OF BUKHARA!

Mary, who’d trade her go for the gold bunny pin for a deal, had a blue wallet.  It could still have just a single dollar bill to buy another fur.  Monty decides to buy it back for up to $250.  Nope, but what about Curtain #1.  Mary choses neither, she wants the door…err, curtain. “Should I?” Don’t regret it Mary, because in the wallet…there was one bill too many.  But will she trade the “door” for $300.  NO! $600 is Monty’s final offer. Mary keeps the curtain. She thinks it’s a new motorcycle…IT WAS IN 1927.

Back to Deborah and her dime. She can cash it in right now to join in on an $1,100 shopping deal. Our little dill is keeping the dime for now. Instead…

Heli O’Der (Canadian Angel, Estonian Name, Gold Medal Deal) and Wanda McCoy (Minnie Mouse, “I Will Squeak a Deal”)

Four items, one at a time, the one who’s closest gets the cash.

$100: Cortizone 5 (1 oz. Tube)

Heli: $3.59 Wanda $1.89

ARP: $3.40 Heli wins

$200: True Value Tru-Test E-Z Kare Paint (1 gal.)

Wanda: $12 Heli: $15.25

ARP: $18.95 Another $200 for Heli

$300: 2000 Flushes (14 oz.)

Heli: $2.89 Wanda: $3

ARP: $2.25 Heli’s 3 for 3, $600 Total

$500: West Bend Ski and Cycle Stopwatch

Wanda (Last Chance): $45 Heli: $89

ARP: $24.95 Wanda Wins at Last

The Sunshine Box is up! Will Wanda trade her hard-earned cash for that? She quickly says “yes” and winds up with…a KitchenAid Dishwasher W/$25 of ElectraSol. ($804.95)

Now for Heli:  We see Curtain #2, we see Os-Cal (We hear the old theme to “Split Second”)  Heli will go for the “Door”, get it right.  Either way, she winds up with…Brian and Karen’s SOUSAPHONES

BIG DEAL OF THE DEAL: $8,101

Steve$3,000
Irene$1,364.45
Wanda$804.95
DeborahThat Little Dime
MaryQueasy Rider
HeliOOMPAH! OOMPAH!

Deborah finally decides to trade in that lil’ ol’ dime to go for that $8,101 big deal.  According to the Los Angeles Coin Company, that 1875 Liberty Dime has an appraised value of…$2,000!  She’ll have to make up for it.  The other trader is Steve, who’s wife is probably fuming right now.  (Deborah who’s dime was a grand less than the fur gets first choice.) First…

Monty’s Cookie Jar, inside is $815 and it goes to…NO ONE.

There’s Galaxy Ariba Carpeting which goes lovely under a new Simmons Contemporary Living Room with Selig Tables. ($4,573) It goes to…Steve. (Hope the wife likes that)

And what did Deborah’s get for that little dime?

First, there’s Skyway Luggage and Ray-Ban Shades. She’s taking all that to the Bahamas (1wk.@ Bahamas Princess) along with a check for $4,500! ($8,101)

Total Winnings: $14,843.40

Quickie Deals: Marie Washington (fancy tux and tails) can get $50 for a mirror, $150 for a mirror on both sides.  Monty was also looking for a wallet as the “Telepictures” logo came up to end the program.

WHAT’S MY LINE-Taped October 1, 1968

Host: Wally Bruner

Announcer: Johnny Olsen

The “Bright and Alert” Celebrity Panel:

FIRST GUEST: John Garrity (Kenoshia, Brooklyn, NY)

John makes an edible product and is self-employed

Pia: Does it comes from some animal?

No $5

Gawn: In the line of sweeties (as we call candy?)

Yes

Would I lick it rather than chew it?

No $10

Arlene: Would other than human beings enjoy it? 

No, or at least never find out $15

Soupy: Is it sold outdoors (like football games or parks)

Yes

Is it larger than an ice cream cone?

Yes

Is it like cotton candy?

No, no like cotton candy…IT IS COTTON CANDY!

1 out of 47 isn’t bad

Soupy

Mr. Garrity goes by the name “Johnny Cotton Candy”, same as Soupy’s Mother.  It got started by a friend to pay tuition, he’s now a graduate student at St. John’s in American History.  Soupy’s not done, he asks about the sugar base that’s put into the spinner.  It’s PURE SUGAR!  We get a full demonstration on stage.  With a twist of the hand, BING! A Whip of pink magic!  The panel walks over to try it out making “Q-Tips for the Jolly Green Giant” Soupy’s words again who gives himself a Santa Beard.

Note:  Gawn calls it “Candy Floss”.  Also, “Sweetie” doesn’t mean girls.  The Brits call them Broads.

SECOND GUEST: Catherine W. Stone (Madisonville, KY)

She’s salaried and deals with a product.

Soupy: Is it a product I might use?

Yes

Would women use it more than men?

No $5

Pia: Likely found in the home?

No $10

Gawn: Am I assuming it has nothing to do with the derby?

Yes, nothing to do with horses

Might find it outside the home?

Yes

Anything to do with open air?

Tricky, considering the last question.  Try another question, Gawn.

Anything to do with the elements?

No $15

Arlene: Any moving parts?

Gets an Ooh, then a No $20

Soupy: Something run by electricity?

No $25

Pia: Something I could hold in my hand?

Yes

Is it a useful product?

Yes

Would I have to buy it to use it?

Yes

Would I WANT to buy it?

If for some strange reason, Yes

Would it make me look better using it?

Nothing could $30

Gawn: More to do with children?

No $35

Arlene: Made of wood?

No $40

Soupy: Used in building or excavation?

Yes

It’s not a shovel, is it?

No (That wasn’t Soupy, that was the producer trying a ventriloquist act)

Soupy Passes

Pia: Used in my garden?

No $45, one to go

Gawn: Would it help hold things together?

Just the opposite, Soupy said the correct answer right after the last card flips:  SHE SELLS DYNAMITE $50

Employed by the Atlas Powder Company in Knoxville, we see a GIANT stick of commercial dynamite used for coal mines.  Wally’s only used to the small type for fence post holes.  Catherine says the type on stage could blow up the theatre, though it’s not the biggest bomb the theatre’s seen.  HA! HA! HA! Our guest used to be a contractor who drilled those coal mines, and it took a lot of convincing for Atlas to hire her.  Wally concludes that this is a business with many ups and downs.

MYSTERY GUEST

Arlene: Are you a name we’d find in the entertainment pages?

Yes (Light Falsetto)

Soupy: Are you on television?

Yes

Pia: Are you an actor?

Sometimes

Gawn: Comedian?

Mm-hmmm

Arlene: Do you sing?

Nhh-nhh

Soupy: Under 40 years old?

No

Pia: Deal with ethnic humor?

Yes

Gawn: Do you play an instrument?

Yes, Soupy thinks he’s got it

Arlene: Are you also a writer?

Yes

Soupy: Is it a violin?  Are you Henny Youngman?

NO!

Pia: Jack Benny?

NO!

Gawn: Do you dance?

No

Arlene: Do you have a TV program?

No

Soupy: You don’t use the violin in your act?

That’s correct

Pia passes, Gawn: You write your own material?

Yes

Arlene: Are you humorous in one line or endeavor? (Irish, Jewish, etc.)

Not necessarily

Clue: His autobiography is a smash best-seller

Soupy jumps in with Sam Levenson

YES!

Sam did play violin on TV, which he called “A great failure”.  He never lived up to his mother’s dream.  His autobiography is titled “Everything but Money”, which was a title Wally wanted for his book.  “Everything but Money” meant Sam grew up with lots of love, books and music, but no money.  Soupy points out Sam was a teacher before going into show biz.  If he were a teacher today with a class of long hairs and wild clothes, would have sneakers on to leave in a hurry.  But seriously, every generation has great potential, and the older people have the responsibility to keep them on the straight and narrow.  We can all help each other and understand each other, regardless of ethnicity.  As for music, Sam calls himself a “Long Hair of the Old School”.  “You can become a howling success by just howling” The best he can do is find the roots of it all.

You can’t come to every idea with an open mouth. An open mind requires a little education.

One of Sam’s sayings during his teaching days

Closing: Wally speaks with Pia, his former ABC news colleague.  She was doing evening news in San Francisco, proving she’s more than just Ingrid Bergman’s daughter.  They were recently in France visiting their own townhouse which is falling apart.  Soupy Sales, meanwhile, has been going around in circles from what Wally’s heard.  Actually, Soupy has circles around his eyes, while Arlene is going around the best circles.
