00:00Welcome to the Buddy Blake Show!
00:05And here he is now, the star of our show, Mr. Buddy Blake!
00:11How-do, how-do! How-dee-dee-dee-dee-doo!
00:16Hello, buddy! Buddy Dee!
00:19Welcome to the Buddy Blake Variety Hour!
00:22Do you believe it's 1973?
00:24Hey, we've been on the air for seven years!
00:27Count them!
00:31Thank you! Ah, thank you so much!
00:33Your applause gets me right here!
00:35Or is it here? Maybe it's heartburn!
00:37Hey, I had leftovers for lunch that kept staring at me!
00:43Uh, you don't think that's funny?
00:45Listen to me! I'm here to tell you that that is funny!
00:47Do you know how much of my jokes? How much more of my jokes?
00:50Wait! I did it for you! I did it for you!
00:53Always for you!
00:55What? You never did this to Pearl!
00:57Oh!
00:59Oh!
01:00No! You don't understand!
01:02Michael!
01:03Michael!
01:04Michael!
01:05I'm here, Dad!
01:06Michael!
01:07I'm here!
01:08They killed me!
01:09They killed me!
01:10I'm blind!
01:11No, you just had the dream again!
01:13Just relax!
01:14Here, here, take these!
01:16Okay!
01:17Take deep breaths!
01:18Okay!
01:19Take deep breaths!
01:20Okay!
01:21Just a bad dream!
01:22I swear!
01:23What the hell kind of doctor did you get me?
01:26All these pills!
01:27All these pills!
01:28And they can't stop a simple nightmare?
01:30They're just sleeping pills!
01:31Oh, they're gonna help you, Dad!
01:33Gonna help you!
01:34Help me!
01:35Look at me!
01:36Some doctor!
01:37Thanks for nothing, Michael!
01:39Get away from me!
01:40You give me the creeps!
01:42My throat is very dry!
01:45Give me some juice!
01:49What's the matter, Dad?
01:50You afraid the dreams might come true?
02:12Not like a movie!
02:13No!
02:14I'm sorry!
02:15No!
02:16No!
02:17No!
02:18No!
02:19No!
02:20No!
02:22No!
02:23No!
02:25No!
02:26No!
02:33No!
02:34No!
02:36No!
02:38No!
02:39No!
02:40No!
02:41No!
03:12I know this is a big project, amigo, but if we put on a full court press, you could pull it off.
03:17I can pull it off?
03:19I'm booked on this Caribbean cruise seminar on cost accounting, but I'll be back in time for the telethon itself.
03:24Congratulations, compadre. I'll send you a postcard mark. Thanks.
03:35Jack, I can't thank you enough for stage managing this affair.
03:38Come on, no sweat. I had to do this once in high school. It's kind of fun.
03:42I got Phil covered for me at the hospital, so...
03:44Oh, that does not belong there.
03:47Okay, and you're going to coordinate the talent, right, Dolores?
03:50Well, if you can call them that, where did you get these people from?
03:54Carlo, the cavorting camel.
03:57Sir, we've got to be grateful for what we can get.
03:59Need I remind you guys, if we don't raise at least $100,000 during that 24 hours,
04:03we close the emergency room doors.
04:05I'm on the case.
04:07Well, I got to ask you something.
04:08Why did you get this guy, Buddy Blake, to host this thing?
04:11I mean, who remembers him?
04:13Jack, the man's a TV legend.
04:15He was number one on television from the late 60s through to the early 70s.
04:20You know, they used to call him Mr. Boob Tube, but in those days it was a compliment.
04:23Who cares?
04:25Hey, guys, the band goes to the left, all right?
04:28Dad, look, I'm sorry I'm late.
04:30Well, it's all right.
04:30I need you.
04:32You know what's really got me excited is we've got almost all the old crew together.
04:35We've got his old sidekick, Hank Mallory.
04:37We've got the two writers, Monty and Sarah Emerson, all coming together.
04:41Oh, that is great.
04:43You know, I can't believe it.
04:44Buddy Blake is right here.
04:46This is the welcoming committee of Governor Hammer.
04:48Hank, Monty, Sarah, where are they?
04:50I don't know, Dad.
04:50I thought they'd be here by now.
04:51Oh, you thought.
04:52I thought I smelled something burning.
04:54Why don't we hire somebody to do your thinking for you,
04:56and then we'll know it'll be done properly.
04:58Uh, Mr. Blake?
04:58That's me.
04:59I'm Dr. Mark Sloan from Community General.
05:01I cannot tell you what an honor it is if I may meet you.
05:03Well, try, try.
05:05Excuse me?
05:06Hey, doctor, you know what you're going to do?
05:07Call me Buddy.
05:09All right.
05:10Buddy?
05:10I'd like you to meet my son, Steve.
05:12Oh, it's a pleasure.
05:14Dr. Sloan, it's good to see you.
05:17Michael, how are you?
05:18Do you know that I was this man's teacher in med school?
05:21Very, very promising student who shouldn't have dropped out, by the way.
05:24I've heard this before.
05:25Oh, man.
05:27You must be Mrs. Blake.
05:29Oh, please, call me Marcy.
05:31What are you waiting for, idiot boy?
05:32Take this stuff to the dressing room.
05:34Marcy, may I call you Marcy.
05:36Could you get me some teeth that isn't going to make me throw up?
05:39Go, go, go.
05:41Well, folks, let's get this show on the road, Joey.
05:44This way, Mr. Blake.
05:45Good.
05:45I'm going to help Dolores.
05:46Oh, good.
05:47Thanks.
05:47All right.
05:48Mr. Blake.
05:49Yes?
05:49Jack Stewart.
05:50I'm a huge fan of yours.
05:52What the hell?
05:52I'm a stage manager.
05:55What about Crazy House?
05:56That's good.
05:57How about take it from the slab?
05:59Funny, too, but we have to think about something to do.
06:01Hey, Mallory, you old bag of bones.
06:03God's been good to you.
06:04You're still breathing.
06:05Oh, buddy.
06:07No.
06:08No, no, no.
06:08You're supposed to say how happy you are to see me.
06:11This is the best second man out of the whole business.
06:13Look at this guy.
06:14You give this guy a kick in the butt, he takes it better than anybody.
06:17The best.
06:19Whoa, look what the cat dragged in.
06:21My two favorite writers.
06:23Author.
06:24Author.
06:25Never wrote a joke I didn't have to fix.
06:27Correct me if I'm wrong.
06:28Are you still both happily divorced?
06:31I guess that does it for hello, eh, buddy?
06:33Yeah, we're still divorced, buddy.
06:35Hey, bingo.
06:36In case you're interested, Monty and I haven't seen each other in years.
06:40Tell you the truth, I'm not that interested.
06:42Okay, the reunion is over.
06:44Children, everybody, in my dressing room.
06:46I need Washington jokes, Bill and Hillary jokes.
06:49I want them put into the Robin Hood sketch.
06:51And no puns or you're dead meat.
06:54Doc, get my lunch, will you please?
06:56No oil, no soul, no taste.
06:57My job, grin and bear it.
06:58Your job, go fetch it.
07:00All right, Doc, go.
07:01Fetch.
07:02The fetching doctor.
07:07I'm back, Mark.
07:09Oh, hello, Norman.
07:09How was your cruise?
07:11Buddy Blake is the best you could do?
07:12There are a lot of people who remember and love Buddy Blake.
07:16It'll work fine.
07:17Fine.
07:17I'm calling Jerry Lewis.
07:22And now, here is your host for the first annual Community General Emergency Room Telethon,
07:30Mr. Boatube, Buddy Blake!
07:33How do, how do, how dee-dee-dee-dee-doo?
07:47It's me, Buddy B.
07:49Ha, ha!
07:50I cannot tell you how wonderful it is for me to be here in Vegas.
07:55Wait.
07:56Ha, ha, ha, ha!
07:56Wrong jacket.
07:58Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
07:59Oh, I know.
08:01I know you're thinking what a warm and funny guy this Buddy Blake is.
08:06And if you're not, why aren't you?
08:08Hey, you know, when my good friend, Dr. Mark Sloan, called me and asked me to do this telethon,
08:14I had one question for the good doctor.
08:17When do you want me?
08:18And here I am.
08:22Okay.
08:23Before we get the stuffing going, the stuffing going, I've got it going now.
08:28Before we get things started, I want every one of you wonderful people out there in television
08:34land to call up and make a generous pledge, because this time tomorrow night, we have
08:40got to raise $100,000!
08:43And remember, I know where you live.
08:50Okay.
08:50Today, it gives me great pleasure to bring you the antics of Carlo the Cavorty Camel.
08:58Let's hear it!
08:59All right!
09:01Yes!
09:02Oh, what a sweet...
09:04Yeah, hey!
09:04Careful with that nose.
09:06Yes.
09:07One.
09:07Tee.
09:09Tui.
09:10What a slow slow.
09:12Ha, ha.
09:14Enjoy!
09:15All right, let's go.
09:16All right, let's go.
09:17All right, let's go.
09:17All right.
09:18Dad, Dad, can I talk to you for a second?
09:27You little moron.
09:28We're gonna chip in and get you a brain.
09:30How dare you book me in this sideshow.
09:32Dad, please.
09:32Don't shush me.
09:33Don't shush me.
09:34I'll turn you into a doormat and I'll wipe my feet off on you.
09:37You think you're a man?
09:38You're a useless parasite.
09:40Look, I'm through being your whipping boy.
09:42Oh, really?
09:43What are you gonna become?
09:44A doctor?
09:44You mean, self-centered old has-been, and you're like it to be here.
09:50Don't you walk away from me.
09:52I just did.
09:53No one's answering the phones.
10:07They're not ringing.
10:08Exactly.
10:11Where's Jerry Lewis?
10:12I left a message.
10:16He'll pick up, Norman.
10:17How's it going?
10:22Well, unless his son kills, and Buddy and his Robin Hood sketch is up next.
10:25No, he's up now.
10:27Claire, some of us are working.
10:28Finally.
10:29Wait, we're working.
10:31We're working, Claire, Claire.
10:32Where the hell is that idiot son of mine?
10:34He's needed for brain surgery in my dressing room immediately.
10:36I can't find my hairpiece.
10:38I can't work like this.
10:40Someone has to stall.
10:41You.
10:42I'll get ready.
10:43You stall.
10:44Get out of my way.
10:45No.
10:47Oh, no, sir.
10:48No, hey, guy.
10:49Wait.
10:49No.
10:54Why?
10:55Hi.
10:58Hello there.
10:58I'm Dr. Mark Sloan.
11:00Oh, the camera doc.
11:02Oh.
11:05Talk.
11:06I'd like to talk to you about the importance of our emergency room service.
11:11You know, emergency room service is a medical service that's available to really very few
11:18people at this moment because so many of our emergency rooms around the city have closed.
11:24And it's very important that we keep this one open.
11:28If we can, in our sector of the city, we are the only emergency room that we're in quite a hardship.
11:34On that part of the population, of course, we're in quite a hardship.
11:35On that part of the population, of course, we're in quite a hardship.
11:37Dad?
11:37Oh, very funny.
11:41What's the matter?
11:42What's the matter?
11:42And I can assure you, if you have never seen this sketch, you all are in for a real treat.
11:50It's what I would call a classic TV sketch.
11:54Some of you are probably, a lot of you are probably too young to have ever seen us, so
11:58get out your, oh, here comes Buddy.
12:00I mean, uh, Bobby's a, call an ambulance.
12:30I'm sorry.
12:40Buddy's aorta was punctured.
12:41We didn't make it.
12:43We did everything we could.
12:46I know it's a show.
12:46I gotta, I, uh.
12:48Mrs. Blake, my deepest sympathy.
12:51Where's the phone?
12:53It's, uh, down the hall.
12:57Buddy was such a wonderful guy.
13:00A real humanitarian?
13:02He was an original talent.
13:04There'll never be another one like him.
13:06Never.
13:07Excuse me, Dad.
13:08Could I speak to you for a minute, please?
13:10Excuse me a moment.
13:15Where is Michael Blake?
13:17He's down the hall.
13:18Why?
13:20I'm here to arrest him for the murder of his father.
13:23Michael?
13:24No.
13:25I know Michael.
13:26He didn't kill his dad.
13:27Dad, I've got my doubts, too, but look at the evidence.
13:30I saw him fight with his father.
13:32He was alone in the dressing room with him.
13:34Buddy Blake ends up with a knife in his back, and Michael's got blood on his hands.
13:38DA says that's all we need.
13:39Give me a moment more than I am.
13:44Go ahead.
13:44Go ahead.
13:55Buddy wasn't always so terrible, you know?
13:59Well, difficult, sure.
14:02Bad-tempered.
14:05But in the old days, you know, when his show was on, there were times...
14:10Oh, I wish I hadn't have said those things to him.
14:19I called him a has-been.
14:21Oh, I know that hurt him.
14:29Guess I...
14:30Guess I loved him in spite of himself, huh?
14:36Michael, I hate to have to tell you this.
14:41The police think that you killed your father.
14:42Well, they don't really believe that.
14:47I'm afraid they do.
14:49You don't believe it, do you?
14:52No.
14:52What am I gonna do, Mark?
14:59Well, I don't know.
15:01Maybe I can help.
15:02Do you know anyone who might want to kill Buddy?
15:07Yeah, sure.
15:07Anyone of those four down the waiting room pretending to grieve.
15:10They all hated that.
15:14Do you know exactly why?
15:16Yeah.
15:17It's all that dirt I didn't print in my book.
15:22It takes time, Mark.
15:27Mr. Blake, I'm afraid I'm going to have to place you under arrest for the murder of your father.
15:32Read you, Mr. Reitz.
15:35You have the right to remain silent.
15:37Anything you think.
15:38Michael didn't kill his father.
15:39Dad, I can't believe it either.
15:41But right now, all the evidence points to him.
15:43I had no choice but to arrest him.
15:46I think one of those four people killed Buddy Blake.
15:49That's gonna be very hard to prove.
15:51If no trouble is with Buddy gone, they're all gonna leave town.
15:55I can't stop him.
15:56Look, I'll see you back at the studio.
15:57All right.
16:01As you know, Buddy Blake was just rushed to Community General's emergency room.
16:07Our thoughts and prayers are for his full recovery.
16:11This tragedy just points out the importance of our emergency room services.
16:17What if we were closed today?
16:20Buddy Blake may not have survived.
16:23And so we could...
16:24Are you sure about this?
16:34Unfortunately, even the valiant efforts of our emergency room crew could not...
16:44Buddy Blake did not survive.
16:47He passed away a few moments ago.
16:49So, as shocking as this is,
16:54and what could be more shocking than the untimely demise of a truly great man,
16:59let us remember that Buddy Blake's last wish was to raise as much money as possible
17:05for the hospital he loved, Community General.
17:08So we will continue on with our telethon for just one reason.
17:12Buddy Blake would want it that way.
17:14And now, how about a nice welcome for a wonderful pair of ballroom dancers,
17:26Marvin and Maxine.
17:27Let's hear it.
17:28Come on.
17:28Marvin and Maxine.
17:29Come on.
17:30I know how upset you all must be.
17:49But I also know you all came down here out of your great love for Buddy.
17:53So, uh, I'm asking you to see this telethon through in Buddy's memory.
17:58I can't get a plane out till tomorrow, anyway.
18:05Monty and I used to do an act together.
18:08Do you remember it, honey?
18:10Sure, sure.
18:10We could do that.
18:12I was rehearsing some bits Buddy would have loved.
18:16I'll stay.
18:20Thank you all.
18:21Thank you all.
18:22Thank you all.
18:23Thank you all.
18:25Thank you all.
18:27I'm going to tell you something.
18:32I think Steve is right.
18:33How are you going to prove that one of those four people killed Buddy?
18:36I don't know yet.
18:37How's it going out there?
18:38Well, ever since Buddy got killed, we shot up to 27,000.
18:42But after that, he just died.
18:44I'm telling you, somebody's got to front this thing.
18:46Where's Briggs?
18:47He's lying in the back with an ice pack on his head.
18:49Huh?
18:49He's fine.
18:50He's nervous.
18:52Dad, Elvis has left the building and Dolores can't find him anywhere.
18:56Great.
18:57Steve, my boy.
19:00What do you want?
19:02Do you remember mentioning that you'd do anything to help out?
19:04Yeah.
19:05Take this list of acts out there and read them as they come on.
19:08No.
19:08That's all you have to do.
19:08Dad, I can't do that.
19:09Look, Steve, it's for the emergency room.
19:11I'm not a performer.
19:12Dad, I don't even like to get up in front of people.
19:14It's all right.
19:14Don't do this to me.
19:23Say something.
19:31How do you like to sew shofar?
19:44May I help?
19:45Uh, yeah.
19:45You can give me a hand with this.
19:46It's stuck.
19:50Let's see.
19:53Well, here it is.
19:56Do you think Michael killed Buddy?
19:59Looks that way, doesn't it?
20:02Obviously, you don't.
20:04Uh, no.
20:04No, I don't.
20:05But I think someone close to him did.
20:09Like his widow?
20:11His rich widow?
20:14If all I wanted was the money, I would have divorced the slob 20 years ago.
20:17Well, I guess to wear a bikini.
20:20Well, but then if you just divorced him, you'd only get half the money.
20:27With the Michael out of the way, you get the whole estate.
20:32I do now.
20:35Just toss this and the rest of the stuff here, huh?
20:38Where were you when Buddy was killed?
20:41None of your business.
20:42That's where I was.
20:44That was the, uh, three little piggies doing my achy bacon heart.
21:04Uh, our next act will be appearing nightly at the Gallery Barn Grill.
21:08Please welcome Waldo the Juggler.
21:16You're supposed to introduce the Tumno Tasmanians.
21:19Oh.
21:21Marcy Blake is starting to look like a prime suspect.
21:23Keep an eye on her.
21:24Hey, hold down the floor.
21:26I want to talk to you.
21:31They're sitting on their hands out there.
21:32I mean, can't those comedy writers give me a few jokes?
21:34I'm dying out there.
21:36Steve, would you like something, uh, cold to drink, maybe?
21:38Yeah, make it a diet soda, lots of ice, please.
21:42Makeup.
21:42I just spoke to you.
21:46You must have broken old speed records between San Francisco and Denver.
21:49No, no, Herb, I don't think that's a good idea.
21:51Somebody might see us together.
21:54Me too.
21:56I know.
21:57Okay, well, meet me in the lobby of the Crown Regent Hotel.
22:04Okay, bye.
22:27Yeah, give me the floors.
22:45How you doing?
22:46Listen, um, I need to send some flowers to Buddy Blake's room, all right?
22:57Um, let's go to our tote board, shall we?
23:00Well, I see we're a little short of our $100,000 goal, so please keep those calls coming in.
23:07Our next act is a very talented dancer who's here with her...
23:12Snakes.
23:15Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Sahar.
23:18We've got one minute before I'm back on.
23:28Where's the bathroom?
23:29Sound that hall.
23:31You better go back.
23:32What?
23:33When the snakes got away.
23:37I hate snakes.
23:38I hate snakes.
23:38Oh, my goodness.
24:01I hate snakes.
24:31To us.
24:53Finally.
24:56Did you bring the rest of the papers?
24:58Yeah, the sooner we get this thing out of the way, the better.
25:02You may use my pen.
25:12So I said, who's got time for that?
25:16Oh, I like it. Very nice.
25:19Yes. Yes, it's very nice.
25:27Hotel security, you're busted.
25:38Well, I was just sitting here, minding my own business, and this woman came into my room.
25:42Happens all the time, sir. You just relax. Everything's under control.
25:45What about my money?
25:46Evidence. You be quiet. And you.
25:49You keep your nose clean from now on, you hear me?
25:51I will.
25:53I will.
25:55Come on.
25:56Hey, hey, hey, hey. What's the story here? And don't tell me you're hotel security.
26:01Don't worry about who I am. And you want to make this 200 the easy way it was?
26:06Yeah, I'm listening.
26:07All right, come with me.
26:08What are we going to do?
26:10But, Rita, I kid around, but I really love doctors.
26:13And I love that they have this knowledge and all this education.
26:17And if I am ever in any kind of trouble, I want a doctor near.
26:21So I move next to a golf course.
26:23Don't laugh.
26:26The other day, I keeled over, and I asked for a doctor.
26:29Two of them came over.
26:30One of them says, I think you fainted.
26:32I said, I'd like a second opinion.
26:34The other doc says, I think your backswing's too short.
26:39Hank is great.
26:40Yes, he always was.
26:41Now, folks, I've heard a rumor that Community General's own Dr. Sloan has been known to cut loose with some fancy footwork.
26:50Maybe with a little encouragement.
26:52What do you say, doc?
26:54Ladies and gentlemen, for Community General Hospital's emergency room, Dr. Mark Sloan.

30:19Housekeeping. Forgot your mints.
30:21Hey, come back here.
30:23$69,405.
30:25Now there's only seven hours to go, so let's keep those pledges coming.
30:29Terrible feeling. We'll never raise the $100,000.
30:3117 hours. Has anybody ever talked for 17 hours?
30:35Hey, Mr. Wainwright, don't ever take me seriously again. Never.
30:39Tell Monty and Sarah I can't learn their jokes. My eyes won't pull.
30:4217 hours into this telethon, we've only raised two-thirds of the money. Two-thirds.
30:46You know, maybe just a little too many.
30:48Oh, no, no. No, Sloan Jr. No, no. Stay up. Stay up.
30:52Sloan, you have to help me out. I guarantee the board will raise the money.
30:55I guarantee the board, Sloan. I guarantee them.
30:57Calm down. It isn't over yet.
30:59How are you, sir?
31:00Mm-hmm.
31:00Oh, great. Just like I'm swimming through jail.
31:03Here. Finish.
31:06Where are Monty and Sarah?
31:07They're in their dressing room rehearsing their old act.
31:09All right.
31:10Okay, let's go. Let's go sleep.
31:11Let's go back to the stage.
31:12Right this way. Let's bring this home.
31:14Where am I? Right here. Stage right this way.
31:16This way.
31:17This way.
31:17When I first met Sarah, I asked if I could see her home. So she gave me a picture.
31:23When we first got married, it was great. Then, as we were walking back down the aisle...
31:28I said to Sarah, what would you like for a wedding gift? And she said, separate honeymoons.
31:32I always say, love is mind over matter.
31:35That's right. She doesn't mind and I don't matter.
31:40Oh, hiya, Doc Sloan.
31:42Hey, don't stop. I love the routine.
31:44So do the troops at Valley Forge.
31:47We're not that old, darling. It was Gettysburg.
31:49Is there something we can do for you?
31:53Well, I wanted to ask you a couple of questions.
31:55Oh, do we win a prize?
31:57No, but maybe we find out who killed Buddy.
32:01Michael killed Buddy. Poor kid.
32:04You know, I don't think so, really. Not Michael.
32:07But somebody who hated him did.
32:11And you two both had good reason to hate Buddy Blake.
32:15Mr. Warmth, Mr. Personality.
32:17I mean the Buddy Blake who ruined your marriage.
32:23Let's take a break, Monty.
32:28You're right. I did have an affair with Buddy.
32:30Years ago when we were working with him.
32:33It didn't last long.
32:35None of Buddy's affairs ever did.
32:37It was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life.
32:41Well, Sarah, from what I hear, you took that affair pretty seriously.
32:44And when Buddy broke it off so abruptly, you were very upset.
32:49I thought he loved me because he called me honey.
32:51Turned out he couldn't remember my name.
32:56Monty, is it true at that time you threatened to kill him?
32:59Sure, but I didn't have to.
33:01He was dying every Wednesday night in front of 30 million people on television.
33:06But you took the breakup of your marriage pretty hard, didn't you?
33:09Oh, I mean, wouldn't you?
33:11But after six weeks in a rubber room...
33:13No, no, I got over it, Doc.
33:18And here we are again, for the first time.
33:21That's great. I'm happy for both of you.
33:25Oh, one last thing.
33:28When Buddy was murdered, where were the both of you?
33:31Is this a trick question?
33:32No, really. I just wonder where you were.
33:37Together.
33:37Together.
33:38As in, in the same room, at the same time.
33:41Oh.
33:44Well, I mean, you had finished writing Buddy's material,
33:47and nobody saw you backstage, so I was just wondering what you were doing.
33:51Megan, whoopee!
34:00Oh.
34:02Sorry.
34:03Congratulations to the both of you.
34:12Mark.
34:13Chad, where have you been?
34:14I think I know who killed Buddy Blake.
34:17I got the proof right here.
34:18Well, one more hour to go.
34:38One more hour.
34:40Uh, let's go check the tour board, shall we?
34:49Oh.
34:51Isn't that nice?
34:53Folks, let's put it over the top, shall we?
34:56For, for the emergency room.
34:59I love the emergency room.
35:01They have beds there.
35:05Nice.
35:07Soft.
35:07Warm beds with...
35:10blankets and...
35:14pillows.
35:19Um, uh, our next guest is...
35:23Carlotta, who is going to yodel for us.
35:33Well, what do you know?
35:35After all Buddy's insults, he gave Marcy power of attorney.
35:38Mm-hmm.
35:39She didn't waste any time transferring his money into her bank accounts, either.
35:42Or changing the ownership on the rest of their home.
35:44Now, look at these.
35:45The changes are dated last week.
35:49Add that to Mr. Loverboy, and you get...
35:51Survival.
35:52Now, I don't know who you two think you are, but I've got a good mind to call a cop.
35:56Well, you know, then you'd have to explain how all of Buddy's bank accounts very suddenly became yours.
36:00And as lately as last week.
36:03Now, maybe I can explain, if you'll allow me.
36:05I'm Herb Morton, Buddy's business manager.
36:07Man, that's not all you manage, pal.
36:10It's true.
36:11Marcy and I love one another, which is why I couldn't stand by and watch what Buddy was doing to her.
36:16So what?
36:17You killed him?
36:18Hardly.
36:19Look, everybody knows Buddy was a horrible person.
36:22But what you probably don't know is that he was...
36:24He was also a two-timing philanderer and gambler.
36:27It's true.
36:29Every month I'd see large sums of money paid out to one young woman or another or to cover his markers in Las Vegas.
36:34I was...
36:35That is, we were merely protecting what was left.
36:39All I'm hearing is a stronger motive for murder.
36:43Unless you can tell us where you were around the time Buddy was killed.
36:50I was backstage, on the phone with Herb.
36:52Actually, we were on a conference call with an associate at my office.
36:57We were talking about the information in those faxes.
37:00The call was timed and dated, if you'd care to check.
37:06Any other questions?
37:08Doc?
37:09Uh, no, I don't think so.
37:13Unless you want to make a contribution to the telephone.
37:16He'll excuse us.
37:19Guess not.
37:20I'm sorry, Mark.
37:28I...
37:28I thought we had to kill her.
37:31That's okay.
37:31So did I.
37:33So what does that mean?
37:34Margie's got an alibi.
37:36Hank was across the street at the bar having a drink, which I checked.
37:39And Sarah and Monty were together.
37:43Who's the leader?
37:46Leavers you know who?
37:47Michael.
37:48You know, not necessarily, though, because Monty and Sarah only have each other as alibis.
37:59Joe, can you play the tape from just a few minutes before Buddy comes out there?
38:02Mark, I'm not quite sure what we're looking for here.
38:05Okay, hold up.
38:05Right there.
38:06Now, there's Monty sitting at the celebrity phone bank.
38:10Yeah.
38:10Clock says 12.15.
38:12Okay, go ahead.
38:14All right, stop.
38:16Now, look.
38:18Monty's gone, and the clock reads 12.18.
38:23Can you fast forward now to when he comes back?
38:28All right.
38:28Now, Monty's back at the phone bank, and the clock says...
38:3112.30.
38:33So, where'd he go for the 12 minutes?
38:37I don't know.
38:39Wait a minute.
38:39Didn't you tell me that Sarah said Monty was with her backstage?
38:44Maybe.
38:46Joe, could we see this from a different angle, right from the top?
38:52Okay, freeze it right there.
38:56Can you enlarge that, Annie?
38:57Yeah, see?
39:01Now, there's Sarah and the clock.
39:03What does that say?
39:0412.
39:0512.18.
39:07Okay, okay.
39:08Keep going, Joe.
39:1212.30.
39:14Sarah's still there.
39:15No sign of Monty.
39:17So, she lied about Monty being with her.
39:21But, come on, Mark.
39:22That doesn't mean that Monty murdered Buddy.
39:27Joe, can I see that angle of Monty again?
39:34Can you enlarge that, Annie?
39:35I can't.
39:37Yeah.
39:39All right.
39:40Now, on the same screen, can you show me this picture of Monty from before?
39:46There.
39:49Oh, this is very interesting.
39:52Now, I think we have something.
39:57Steve.
40:03Steve.
40:04Hey.
40:05You all right?
40:06All right, good.
40:07Listen, your dad needs to see you right away.
40:08He's in the editing room.
40:09Well, now he wants me to edit?
40:10No, man.
40:11He just wants to see you.
40:12Mr. B will take over.
40:13No, impossible.
40:14I don't think so.
40:15No.
40:15I'll just open your mouth, Norman.
40:17Something will come out.
40:18I don't enjoy public speaking.
40:20I'm good at it.
40:20I just don't enjoy it.
40:21No, just relax, all right?
40:22Just be yourself.
40:23No, I don't do it.
40:23Come on, walk with me.
40:25Whatever happened to Jerry Lewis?
40:26He's in France.
40:27I don't want to do this.
40:27Come on.
40:28Please, Norman.
40:29Trust me.
40:29You're going to be fine.
40:34What's going on?
40:36Now, plasma with cream and sugar.
40:39It wasn't only going to take a minute.
40:41I thought you'd like to be here when I exposed Buddy Blake's killer.
40:44Well, uh, this better be good, Doc.
40:47I've been up for about 36 hours.
40:49I'm beat.
40:49It's not going to take long.
40:50I just have a tape I want you to see here.
40:52Oh, and Sarah, I want to tell you I know that you lied about being backstage with Monty.
40:57You never left the set.
40:58We have it on tape.
41:00So?
41:01This is ridiculous.
41:02Come on, sir.
41:02No, wait a minute.
41:03That's not what I want to show you.
41:05You know, in reviewing these tapes, there's one thing that caught my attention, and that
41:10was your hair, Monty.
41:11And that's how I know you're the one that killed Buddy Blake.
41:14What is this, a joke?
41:16What's the punchline?
41:17Take a look here.
41:17We edited some tapes.
41:20Now, if you look closely, at the beginning of the telephone, Monty's hair is rather short.
41:26Now, after Buddy was killed, you notice Monty's hair hangs over his ears.
41:32Now, I had to ask myself the question, how much hair can a person grow in 30 minutes?
41:38All right.
41:38What you got me, how much?
41:40The answer is, it wasn't your hair.
41:44When you and Buddy struggled in the dressing room, and you stabbed him, your toupee must
41:49have fallen off.
41:50And in your rush to get out of there, you grabbed Buddy's by mistake, which is longer than yours.
41:57That's crazy.
41:58My toupee fits perfectly.
42:00Well, of course it does, because you have a spare toupee.
42:02Because as soon as you could, you took off Buddy's toupee and put on your own.
42:06This one.
42:09You can't prove any of this.
42:11When Buddy staggered on stage, I thought he was coming toward me.
42:18But actually, he was going toward you, clutching this hairpiece, your toupee.
42:23This is the hairpiece that Buddy was carrying on stage, your toupee.
42:27And it has the same code number assigned by the wig maker to identify a specific client.
42:35In this case, you.
42:36Monty, I'm so sorry.
42:47You were afraid he did it, weren't you?
42:50That's why you lied for him.
42:55He was such a mean, cruel creep.
42:57I hated him for what he took from me.
42:59My career, my dignity.
43:04Most of all, because of you.
43:06He never had me, Monty.
43:09He had a simple, naive girl who came to her senses too late and has regretted it ever since.
43:17Sure look like you.
43:27Let's go, Monty.
43:29What?
43:30I'm placing you under arrest.
43:33I'm being arrested by an emcee?
43:35What is this, Hollywood?
43:36Steve is a detective with the police for us, Monty.
43:41Come on.
43:43Monty?
43:45This time I'm going to stick around.
43:47And after college, I got a job working for a textile manufacturer.
44:07Cotton does your body good.
44:09Just don't ask the sheep.
44:10Um, well, I don't know where everybody is, but we have ten minutes to go, and we haven't reached our goal yet.
44:20So then I, I, Dr. Sloan, Steve, somebody, help me.
44:25Forget your troubles, and just get happy.
44:38You better chase all your cares away.
44:40You better chase all your cares away.
44:46Sing hallelujah.
44:47Sing hallelujah.
44:48Come on, get happy.
44:49Come on, get happy.
44:50Get ready for the happy day.
44:51The sun is shining.
44:52Come on, get happy.
44:53The sun is shining.
44:54Come on, get happy.
44:55The Lord is waiting to take your hand.
45:07Shout hallelujah.
45:08Come on, get happy.
45:10We're going to the promised land.
45:13We're heading cross the river.
45:16Wash your sins away in the tide.
45:19And it's all so peaceful on the other side.
45:25We're heading, wash away the tide.
45:31I don't have school.
45:32It's all so peaceful.
45:34Thank you, son.
45:37We did it.
45:38We did it, Sloan.
45:39You had a phone call from Jerry Lewis.
45:41Take a message.
45:42Forget your troubles, come on.
45:44Get happy.
45:45You better chase all those cares away.
45:48Come hallelujah.
45:49Come on, get happy.
45:51Get ready.
45:52Get ready.
45:53Do get ready.
45:54Get ready.
45:55Get ready.
45:56Get ready.
45:57Get ready.
45:58Get ready.
45:59For that happy day.
46:03We're going to have a happy day.
46:07Get ready.
46:10We'll have...
46:11Get ready.
46:43Viacom.
47:13Viacom.
