BENNY: "Mister Rockford, how about listening to our, our new act?"

ROCKFORD: "Oh, all right, if you insist."

BENNY: "Ready? Ready with your clarinet, Fred?"

ALLEN: "Ready."

BENNY: "Okay. One, two. Atta boy, Fred. Oh, Mister Allen …"

ALLEN: "What is it, Mister Benny?"

BENNY: "Oh, Mister Allen, have you heard that they're making women's bathing suits out of spun glass?"

ALLEN: "Women's bathing suits out of glass? Well, that is worth looking into."

BENNY: "I'll take it, Mister Allen."

ALLEN: "If you will. [Benny plays the violin.] Uhhhhh. You know, Mister Benny, I …"

BENNY: " Yes, Mister Allen? Oh, pardon me."

ALLEN: "I love music."

BENNY: "So do I. Music once saved my uncle's life."

ALLEN: "How did music save your uncle's life?"

BENNY: "They played the Star Spangled Banner just as he was sitting in the electric chair. Take it, Mister Allen."

ALLEN: "[Music] I'm interpolating."

BENNY: "You don't have to finish it, you know."

ALLEN: "Oh, Mister Benny."

BENNY: "Yes, Mister Allen?"

ALLEN: "I want you to meet my new girl. Her name is Well Enough."

BENNY: "Why do you call your girl Well Enough?"

ALLEN: "Because I want the boys to leave Well Enough alone. How about the finale, mister ...?"

BENNY: "In unison? [Music] Well, Mister Rockford, what did you think of us?"

ALLEN: "Wait until he gets his head out of the drawer."

STEVE EMBER: At the same time Fred Allen and Jack Benny were making America laugh, so was Bob Hope. Hope entertained people all over the world for seventy years.
