My mother, grabbing for her copy
of Look magazine...

:05:14
would find herself cleverly trapped
into reading a Red Ryder sales pitch.

:05:21
They traded Bullfrog. I don't believe it.
:05:24
What's that?
:05:26
Well, for Christ's sake,
the Sox traded Bullfrog...

:05:28
the only player they've got,
for Shottenhoffer.

:05:31
''Four Eyes'' Shottenhoffer,
a utility infielder.

:05:33
Got a whole goddamned team
of utility infielders.

:05:37
That's nice.
:05:38
Ralphie, on the double!
:05:42
Did you hear about this guy
who swallowed a yo-yo?

:05:44
- Swallowed a yo-yo?
- On a bet.

They write the silliest things
in the newspapers.

:05:54
What do you mean, silly?
I mean that's real news.

:05:56
That's not like that politics slop.

What is the name
of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse?

:06:07
- How the hell did you know that?

:06:17
Could be worth $50,000.
:06:22
What kind is it this time?
:06:24
Name the great characters
in American literature.

:06:28
Victor?
The Lone Ranger's nephew's horse?

:06:31
Meanwhile, I struggled
for exactly the right BB gun hint.

:06:35
It had to be firm, but subtle.
:06:36
Flick says he saw some grizzly bears
near Pulaski's candy store.

:06:45
They looked at me as if
I had lobsters crawling out of my ears.

:06:50
I could tell that I was in imminent danger
of over-playing my hand.

:06:55
Casually, I switched tactics.
:06:57
Hey, Dad!
