I Dream of Jeannie (1965–1970): Season 3, Episode 6 - Jeannie, the Hip Hippie - full transcript
Tony prepares to go on a camping trip with Jeannie. Unfortunately, Doctor Bellows, who also was due to go on vacation, is forced to cancel because he must find a musical group to perform at a charity bazaar that Amanda is in charge of and because of this he forces Tony to cancel his vacation as well and orders him to help him find a group. Not wanting Tony to miss his vacation, Jeannie helps him by getting four non-musicians, including a couple of guys named Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, and turning them into musicians. In fact, Jeannie is so successful in turning them into a group that they wind up getting an audition with Phil Spector.
[♪]
Two packed meals,
two horses and a guide.
Yeah.
Right. And you got my check
for 300 dollars?
Okay, I'll be there. Right...
No, no. No chance.
How does this look, master?
Thanks a lot.
I'll see you.
Huh? Oh, yeah.
Well, the fish are gonna
love you.
I can hardly wait to go.
I've never been
on a fishing trip before.
Yeah... Well, I've waited
three years for this vacation.
I'm a little rusty
with this thing.
Rusty?
Mmm.
And how would I look
if I came home without a fish?
Oh, you do not have to worry
about that, master.
Oh, yeah?
What?
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Whoa!
Ho, ho, ho, ho.
[GIGGLES]
That's a... A fake fish.
Practice.
[♪]
[HUMMING]
Alfred, what are you doing?
Oh, I'm, uh,
packing these books.
Uh, I'm bringing them
on our vacation.
Well, you might as well
unpack them.
Unpack them?
We're not going.
Not going?
Who says we're not going?
The Rolling Waves.
Oh, Amanda,
what are you talking about?
Darling, the Rolling Waves
were all set to sing
at my charity bazaar,
and now they've canceled out.
Well, why would they do that?
Because they were mobbed
in Indiana,
and one of them
is in the hospital.
Oh, I hope it's nothing serious.
Nothing serious?
Alfred, I have to find another
group to replace them, darling.
And that's why we can't go
on our vacation.
Amanda.
Do you mean to tell me,
that I have to cancel
my vacation,
that I've waited for
for five years
because a Rolling Wave
was mobbed in Indiana?
I'm sorry, dear. Yes.
Well, you can't be serious.
Darling, now look.
I'm the chairman
of the entertainment committee,
correct?
Yes.
And I discovered
the Rolling Waves.
Well then, darling,
it's up to me
to find another group
to replace them.
How long will that take?
I don't know, dear.
I'm working on it now.
[SIGHS]
Amanda, the general knows
I'm going on my vacation.
All the boys
at the officers' club
know I'm going on my vacation.
I'm sorry, dear.
Oh, well.
I'll try to find some excuse.
Oh, Amanda.
Don't let anyone know
that I've cancelled my vacation
because of the...
Rolling Waves.
Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
But after all, darling...
that's show business.
Major Nelson.
Oh.
Would you mind telling me
what you're doing?
Sir, I'm...
I'm just practicing.
I'm... I'm going
on my vacation tomorrow.
Well, I wouldn't count on it
if I were you.
Why not, sir?
Well, we're gonna postpone
your vacation.
Postpone it? But I've been
waiting for three years
for this vacation, sir.
I know some people who've waited
five years for their vacation.
I'm sorry, major,
but we're expediting your tests
for the lunar project.
We're starting tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yes, I'm afraid so.
Well, how long are the tests
gonna last, sir?
I have no idea.
Major, that's show business.
Major.
Sir.
If you don't...
Well, thank you.
Master, I'm home.
Well, I...
What?
Hello?
Look what I bought.
How do you like it?
Oh, brother.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to get a little use
out of this equipment,
before I have to send it back.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
That's the guy who's probably
coming to pick up his stuff.
Oh, I'll get it. Ahh, Jeannie.
Uh, there's something wrong
in the kitchen with the tap.
Would you check it please?
Oh, yes, master.
Oh, boy.
Yes?
Oh, hello, major.
Oh, pardon me
for barging in like this.
Oh, isn't this cute.
You're camping out
in your living room.
Well, that's adorable.
You know, I try to get Alfred
to do things like this,
but he's just too conservative.
Yeah. I'm just, uh,
trying out some equipment
that I'm not gonna be able
to use.
Oh... You're going
on a vacation, huh?
Well, it's been postponed.
AMANDA:
Isn't that a coincidence.
You know, Alfred's vacation's
been postponed too.
TONY:
Oh, really?
You see, since I've lost
the Rolling Waves, I can't go.
So, I mean, naturally
if I can't go,
Alfred can't go either.
Oh, naturally. Obviously.
AMANDA:
So that's why I'm here, major.
You see, since I've lost
the Rolling Waves,
I have to find another
musical group to replace them.
And I thought...
[CHUCKLES]
Maybe you could help me
find a musical group.
I really don't know
anything about singing.
I'll tell you what we need.
We need a group...
that's hip.
Hip?
Yes. You listen
to the radio, don't you?
Well, I... Wasn't going to take
this on vacation with me.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS OVER RADIO]
That.
That's what we need.
Why?
Well, major, because that is the
kind of music that draws crowds.
Don't you understand?
See, I'm in charge
of this whole thing.
It was all my idea.
I... I've got to get another
group to replace them.
I'm not gonna leave town
until I get a group
that is gonna kill them.
Oh, I see.
If I can help you find a group,
then you and Dr. Bellows
can go on your vacation.
Exactly, exactly.
That's it. Yes, yes.
Oh, major.
Huh? Oh, sorry. Yes.
But you listen to me.
It is very important
that Alfred not know
that I asked you for any help.
Oh, don't worry about a thing.
I'd be the last one to tell him.
Thank you very much, major.
Now, listen,
if you hear of anything at all.
You know, if you think of any,
you will let me know.
Yes, I certainly will.
I mean,
it'd be such a shame to...
waste all that marvelous
equipment.
I know. I-I...
Bye.
Master. Oh, master,
you will never guess what?
I've just figured it out.
Do you know why Dr. Bellows
canceled your vacation?
Yeah. So do you.
You've been listening
in the kitchen.
Well, why are you unhappy?
Jeannie, do you have any idea?
How hard do you think it'd be to
find a better group than this?
[CHUCKLES]
They remind me of a group
that Caligula had beheaded.
Well, you could pick up
better singers
on any street corner.
You could?
Oh, well, then I think
I can solve your problem,
master.
Huh?
You mean you know a group?
Well, I...
I do not know a group but I...
I think I know
where I can find one.
Yeah? How long would it take
you to get them?
Can you give me 10 minutes?
Sure.
That's my girl.
[♪]
Ah, there we are.
Where are we?
I don't feel so good.
Oh, you will.
Oh, dear.
Someone is missing.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Ah. Ha!
I'm here to pick up
the camping equipment.
Oh, I know.
Now, we are ready.
Ready for what?
I can hardly wait
to hear you sing.
I'm sorry lady,
but I don't sing.
Neither do I.
Oh. Well, I thought
everyone sang.
Jeannie, did the guy
come to pick up...
Oh. Hey,
this is the group.
This is your vacation, master.
We can leave at any time.
[LAUGHING] No kidding.
We... Uh,
go ahead, go ahead.
Go ahead and what?
Well, you know.
I mean, go ahead...
Sing or whatever you...
Master, they...
They have not rehearsed yet.
Huh? Oh, uh, listen.
Don't let me disturb you now.
I'll put this in the kitchen,
I'll be right back.
You guys go and rehearse.
I'm getting out of here.
Ah, ah, ahh.
You must not leave until
Major Nelson has heard you sing.
All right, now.
Ready?
A one, and a two, and a three,
and a four and...

TONY:
Hey, Jeannie, you're wonderful.
Be ready to leave
tomorrow morning.
Lady, would you mind telling me
what's going on?
Certainly.
You are all going to sing
at a charity bazaar.
I'm getting out of here.
But, sir,
Tony's been looking forward
to this vacation
for a long time.
No, Major Healey.
I'm not going on my vacation,
Major Nelson's not going
on his vacation.
We're gonna do these tests
and that's final.
Oh, morning, sir.
Good morning.
I'm ready to go to work.
Yes, I see you are.
It'll take us about six weeks
to get through all this stuff.
Yes.
[WHISTLING]
What are you
so happy about, major?
Oh, uh, good music
always does that to me, sir.
I just heard
a new singing group.
[CHUCKLING] They're fantastic.
This new singing group?
Yes, sir.
Uh, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
They're really great.
Well, shall we go to work
on this?
You mean they're here?
Yes.
In Cocoa Beach?
Yes.
Oh, there's the new inversion
chart I've been looking for.
I knew you had that in here...
Are they available?
Who?
The singing group?
Oh, yes, yes.
I imagine so.
Uh, you see the PCH starts...
Major, will you stop
changing the subject?
Well, I thought this was
the subject, sir.
Where can I get hold of them?
I believe they're on their way
over to your house.
Now, you don't think Dr. Bellows
is going to let you
go on vacation, do you?
Yeah, I know he is.
Well he's not,
because I talked to him.
He's got experiments worked out
so it's gonna take
about the next 50 years.
No, I'm leaving in the morning.
Oh, no you're not. Yeah.
Oh, you wanna bet?
You wanna bet? How about $100?
I don't want your money.
I really don't.
Come on, a hundred dollars
says you're not.
I'll bet you a dollar.
$100.
Five.
$100.
Roger, $100... A hundred.
You're on.
Now, wait a minute...
A hundred dollars.
You're on.
There you are, Major Nelson.
You've been looking for me, sir?
I've been thinking things over.
You've been working
terribly hard, but, uh...
That's what we're here for, sir.
I realize
that it's been three years
since you've had a vacation...
That's quite all right, sir.
I'm prepared to go ahead
with the tests.
No, major.
I won't let you make
that sacrifice.
It so happens, I'm taking
a little vacation myself,
starting tomorrow morning.
You can take your vacation
as well.
Oh, well, that's different
of course.
That's...
That's quite different.
You can start leaving
tomorrow morning.
Have a good time.
Well, thank you very much, sir.
Thank you.
You're uh, not gonna
take the money, are you?
You wouldn't take it, would you?
Because it was just...
You said five and I said 100,
but you said one.
No. Take it all.
What is this for?
Jeannie, we're going camping.
Why do you keep putting
these things in my way?
You know, tomorrow afternoon
I'm going to take them
to see Phil Spector.
Good, good.
He handles the biggest
musical acts in the country.
Uh, tomorrow afternoon
we're not gonna be here.
We are not?
No, we're going
on our vacation, remember?
Oh.
Well, I am afraid
we will have to cancel that.
Cancel?
Mm. Yes, master.
Ohh.
Well, that is show business.
Are you...
Are you trying to tell me,
Jeannie, that I'm gonna have
to cancel my vacation
because of those four, uh,
what's their names?
The Boyce & Hart Group.
Yeah.
You telling me that?
Oh, yes, master.
They need me.
Is it not strange
they were not even interested
in show business
until the bazaar.
Jeannie, music is very well,
in it's place it's great.
And when we come back
from our vacation,
you can listen to
the... Oh, no, master.
We must strike
while the iron is hot.
Where'd you hear that?
Aristotle said it.
[CHUCKLING] You know...
You know how you worry about me?
Yes, master.
[LAUGHS]
Well, you have reason to.
Jeannie, I've been
looking forward to this vacation
for a long time.
Going to the great outdoors.
Under the stars, under the trees
with maybe a fire
in front of the tent.
And a tinkling little stream
in the distance.
I need a rest.
A R-E-S-T.
Yes, master. Yes.
Oh, good evening, Major Nelson,
I hope we're not disturbing you.
It's my fault anyway, major.
I insisted that we come by
and thank you personally.
Yes.
Come in.
Thank you.
You're camping
in your living room.
Yeah, it's sort
of a rehearsal, sir.
With trees?
BELLOWS:
And a babbling brook?
I wanted to get the feel of it.
I think it's marvelous.
Oh, Alfred, why don't we ever
do something like this?
Amanda, I spend half my life
curing people
who do things like this.
I see you even have
a fire going.
Yes, sir.
Got chilly in here.
I think we'll be running along.
Oh, yes. But, major, listen,
I want to thank you again.
You don't know
what that group did for me.
I can't tell you
what they did for me.
I wouldn't wait until tomorrow
to go on your vacation
if I were you.
I'd leave now.
Trees.
Tent, fire and...
babbling brook.
Hey, baby.
How you doing?
Yeah, look,
I just played your new song.
Well, let me see.
The bridge is very weak.
Well, the tempo's awful.
The lyric?
Stinks.
I think you got another smash.
Congratulations.
Look, I'm ordering
100,000 records,
and that's just the beginning.
Uh, look,
I'll talk to you later.
How did you get in here?
Excuse me,
are you Mr. Phil Spector?
Look, it's been a real bad day.
Would you come back in April?
Are you not looking for singers?
[RINGS]
You'll have to make
an appointment. Uh, hello?
No.
No, you have to go to Nashville,
and bring the group back
yourself.
I'm telling you,
it's the greatest group
I ever heard in years.
Of course you have to bring
their mother with them,
they're only nine years old.
What?
Are you still here?
What is this, a convention?
Where is Bill?
I don't know.
Helen, will you please get
these people out of my office...

Great.
I can feel it here.
You mean you really like it?
Like it?
What does the phrase,
"number one record" mean to you?
Ohh!
Hey, Tony!
Hi. What are you doing?
Um, baking a chocolate,
angel-food cake.
Y-you're really going, huh?
Yep.
Oh, you're gonna have a ball.
Boy, I really envy you.
Uh, remember me
when you're spending my money.
Will do.
Uh, where's Jeannie?
She isn't going.
She isn't...?
What do you mean...
Well, what happened?
I'll tell you what happened.
She's more interested
in four, absolute strangers
than she is in me.
Who are the strangers?
Oh, their names are
Boyce & Hart.
Oh, you mean the guys at the bazaar?
Yeah.
Oh, they were brilliant. I mean,
really. I mean, they were the...
They were average...
Below average group.
Well, let her stay.
Who needs her anyway?
Yeah, yeah,
who needs her anyway.
It'll be great being away
from her for two or three weeks.
Oh! Yeah, great.
You'll have a ball.
Yeah, just...
Just have a ball.
No one to get me in trouble
every time I turn around.
Yeah, no one to cook for you.
No one to try to run
my life for me.
No one to take care of you.
Yeah.
Really looking forward
to this, Roge.
I'm gonna have a terrible time.
You want me to help you
put them in there?
Well, why don't you just cancel
the whole thing?
What do you mean ca...?
I can't cancel.
It'd give her the upper hand
for the rest of my life.
Yeah, well, what's she got now?
Besides, it's the principle
of the thing.
I got 300 dollars tied up
in that equipment.
Well, think of it this way.
It only cost you 200 dollars.
JEANNIE:
Master!
Hey, what do you mean?
There's Jeannie now.
JEANNIE:
Master!
I knew she'd come back.
I never doubted it for a minute.
Master!
Oh! Oh.
I looked all over for you.
Oh, well, I was, uh,
just leaving, Jeannie.
Oh, but I could not let you
leave without me.
Couldn't you?
Oh, no, I would miss you
so very much.
Well, let this be
a lesson to you.
How long would
it take you to pack?
Oh, not long.
Oh! Well...
You sure
you didn't forget anything?
I do not think so.
So long, Roge.
Yeah.
Well, have a good time,
and, uh, write me something
in Jeannie, huh?
We will.
Now, I have our route
all marked out.
First, we stop in Chicago.
Um, Jeannie, we're going
to Little Bear Lake.
Oh, did I not tell you?
We are going on tour.
After Chicago,
we stop in Minneapolis,
Detroit and Montreal.

I've never been
on a fishing trip before.
Yeah... Well, I've waited
three years for this vacation.
I'm a little rusty

Alfred, what are you doing?
Oh, I'm, uh,

Uh, I'm bringing them
on our vacation.
Well, you might as well
unpack them.
Unpack them?
We're not going.
Not going?
Who says we're not going?
The Rolling Waves.
Oh, Amanda,
what are you talking about?
Darling, the Rolling Waves
were all set to sing
at my charity bazaar,
and now they've canceled out.
Well, why would they do that?
Because they were mobbed
in Indiana,
and one of them
is in the hospital.
Oh, I hope it's nothing serious.
Nothing serious?
Alfred, I have to find another
group to replace them, darling.
And that's why we can't go
on our vacation.
Amanda.
Do you mean to tell me,
that I have to cancel
my vacation,
that I've waited for
for five years
because a Rolling Wave
was mobbed in Indiana?
I'm sorry, dear. Yes.
Well, you can't be serious.
Darling, now look.
I'm the chairman
of the entertainment committee,
correct?
Yes.
And I discovered
the Rolling Waves.
Well then, darling,
it's up to me
to find another group
to replace them.
How long will that take?
I don't know, dear.
I'm working on it now.
[SIGHS]
Amanda, the general knows
I'm going on my vacation.
All the boys
at the officers' club
know I'm going on my vacation.
I'm sorry, dear.
Oh, well.

Oh, Amanda.
Don't let anyone know
that I've cancelled my vacation
because of the...
Rolling Waves.
Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
But after all, darling...
that's show business.
Major Nelson.
Oh.
Would you mind telling me
what you're doing?
Sir, I'm...
I'm just practicing.
I'm... I'm going
on my vacation tomorrow.
Well, I wouldn't count on it
if I were you.
Why not, sir?
Well, we're gonna postpone
your vacation.
Postpone it? But I've been
waiting for three years
for this vacation, sir.
I know some people who've waited
five years for their vacation.
I'm sorry, major,
but we're expediting your tests
for the lunar project.
We're starting tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yes, I'm afraid so.
Well, how long are the tests
gonna last, sir?
I have no idea.
Major, that's show business.
Major.
Sir.
If you don't...
Well, thank you.
Master, I'm home.
Well, I...
What?
Hello?
Look what I bought.
How do you like it?
Oh, brother.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to get a little use
out of this equipment,
before I have to send it back.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
That's the guy who's probably
coming to pick up his stuff.
Oh, I'll get it. Ahh, Jeannie.
Uh, there's something wrong
in the kitchen with the tap.
Would you check it please?
Oh, yes, master.
Oh, boy.
Yes?
Oh, hello, major.
Oh, pardon me
for barging in like this.
Oh, isn't this cute.
You're camping out
in your living room.
Well, that's adorable.
You know, I try to get Alfred
to do things like this,
but he's just too conservative.
Yeah. I'm just, uh,
trying out some equipment
that I'm not gonna be able
to use.
Oh... You're going
on a vacation, huh?
Well, it's been postponed.
AMANDA:
Isn't that a coincidence.
You know, Alfred's vacation's
been postponed too.
TONY:
Oh, really?
You see, since I've lost
the Rolling Waves, I can't go.
So, I mean, naturally
if I can't go,
Alfred can't go either.
Oh, naturally. Obviously.
AMANDA:
So that's why I'm here, major.
You see, since I've lost
the Rolling Waves,
I have to find another
musical group to replace them.
And I thought...
[CHUCKLES]
Maybe you could help me
find a musical group.
I really don't know
anything about singing.
I'll tell you what we need.
We need a group...
that's hip.
Hip?
Yes. You listen
to the radio, don't you?
Well, I... Wasn't going to take
this on vacation with me.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS OVER RADIO]
That.
That's what we need.
Why?
Well, major, because that is the
kind of music that draws crowds.
Don't you understand?
See, I'm in charge
of this whole thing.
It was all my idea.
I... I've got to get another
group to replace them.
I'm not gonna leave town
until I get a group
that is gonna kill them.
Oh, I see.
If I can help you find a group,
then you and Dr. Bellows
can go on your vacation.
Exactly, exactly.
That's it. Yes, yes.
Oh, major.
Huh? Oh, sorry. Yes.
But you listen to me.
It is very important
that Alfred not know
that I asked you for any help.
Oh, don't worry about a thing.
I'd be the last one to tell him.
Thank you very much, major.
Now, listen,
if you hear of anything at all.
You know, if you think of any,
you will let me know.
Yes, I certainly will.
I mean,
it'd be such a shame to...
waste all that marvelous
equipment.
I know. I-I...
Bye.
Master. Oh, master,
you will never guess what?
I've just figured it out.
Do you know why Dr. Bellows
canceled your vacation?
Yeah. So do you.
You've been listening
in the kitchen.
Well, why are you unhappy?
Jeannie, do you have any idea?
How hard do you think it'd be to
find a better group than this?
[CHUCKLES]
They remind me of a group
that Caligula had beheaded.
Well, you could pick up
better singers
on any street corner.
You could?
Oh, well, then I think
I can solve your problem,
master.
Huh?
You mean you know a group?
Well, I...
I do not know a group but I...
I think I know
where I can find one.
Yeah? How long would it take
you to get them?
Can you give me 10 minutes?
Sure.
That's my girl.
[♪]
Ah, there we are.
Where are we?
I don't feel so good.
Oh, you will.
Oh, dear.
Someone is missing.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Ah. Ha!
I'm here to pick up
the camping equipment.
Oh, I know.
Now, we are ready.
Ready for what?
I can hardly wait
to hear you sing.
I'm sorry lady,
but I don't sing.
Neither do I.
Oh. Well, I thought
everyone sang.
Jeannie, did the guy
come to pick up...
Oh. Hey,
this is the group.
This is your vacation, master.
We can leave at any time.
[LAUGHING] No kidding.
We... Uh,
go ahead, go ahead.
Go ahead and what?
Well, you know.
I mean, go ahead...
Sing or whatever you...
Master, they...
They have not rehearsed yet.
Huh? Oh, uh, listen.
Don't let me disturb you now.
I'll put this in the kitchen,
I'll be right back.
You guys go and rehearse.
I'm getting out of here.
Ah, ah, ahh.
You must not leave until
Major Nelson has heard you sing.
All right, now.
Ready?
A one, and a two, and a three,
and a four and...

TONY:
Hey, Jeannie, you're wonderful.
Be ready to leave
tomorrow morning.
Lady, would you mind telling me
what's going on?
Certainly.
You are all going to sing
at a charity bazaar.
I'm getting out of here.
But, sir,
Tony's been looking forward
to this vacation
for a long time.
No, Major Healey.
I'm not going on my vacation,
Major Nelson's not going
on his vacation.
We're gonna do these tests
and that's final.
Oh, morning, sir.
Good morning.
I'm ready to go to work.
Yes, I see you are.
It'll take us about six weeks
to get through all this stuff.
Yes.
[WHISTLING]
What are you
so happy about, major?
Oh, uh, good music
always does that to me, sir.
I just heard
a new singing group.
[CHUCKLING] They're fantastic.
This new singing group?
Yes, sir.
Uh, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
They're really great.
Well, shall we go to work
on this?
You mean they're here?
Yes.
In Cocoa Beach?
Yes.
Oh, there's the new inversion
chart I've been looking for.
I knew you had that in here...
Are they available?
Who?
The singing group?
Oh, yes, yes.
I imagine so.
Uh, you see the PCH starts...
Major, will you stop
changing the subject?
Well, I thought this was
the subject, sir.
Where can I get hold of them?
I believe they're on their way
over to your house.
Now, you don't think Dr. Bellows
is going to let you
go on vacation, do you?
Yeah, I know he is.
Well he's not,
because I talked to him.
He's got experiments worked out
so it's gonna take
about the next 50 years.
No, I'm leaving in the morning.
Oh, no you're not. Yeah.
Oh, you wanna bet?
You wanna bet? How about $100?
I don't want your money.
I really don't.
Come on, a hundred dollars
says you're not.
I'll bet you a dollar.
$100.
Five.
$100.
Roger, $100... A hundred.
You're on.
Now, wait a minute...
A hundred dollars.
You're on.
There you are, Major Nelson.
You've been looking for me, sir?
I've been thinking things over.
You've been working
terribly hard, but, uh...
That's what we're here for, sir.
I realize
that it's been three years
since you've had a vacation...
That's quite all right, sir.
I'm prepared to go ahead
with the tests.
No, major.
I won't let you make
that sacrifice.
It so happens, I'm taking
a little vacation myself,
starting tomorrow morning.
You can take your vacation
as well.
Oh, well, that's different
of course.
That's...
That's quite different.
You can start leaving
tomorrow morning.
Have a good time.
Well, thank you very much, sir.
Thank you.
You're uh, not gonna
take the money, are you?
You wouldn't take it, would you?
Because it was just...
You said five and I said 100,
but you said one.
No. Take it all.
What is this for?
Jeannie, we're going camping.
Why do you keep putting
these things in my way?
You know, tomorrow afternoon
I'm going to take them
to see Phil Spector.
Good, good.
He handles the biggest
musical acts in the country.
Uh, tomorrow afternoon
we're not gonna be here.
We are not?
No, we're going
on our vacation, remember?
Oh.
Well, I am afraid
we will have to cancel that.
Cancel?
Mm. Yes, master.
Ohh.
Well, that is show business.
Are you...
Are you trying to tell me,
Jeannie, that I'm gonna have
to cancel my vacation
because of those four, uh,
what's their names?
The Boyce & Hart Group.
Yeah.
You telling me that?
Oh, yes, master.
They need me.
Is it not strange
they were not even interested
in show business
until the bazaar.
Jeannie, music is very well,
in it's place it's great.
And when we come back
from our vacation,
you can listen to
the... Oh, no, master.
We must strike
while the iron is hot.
Where'd you hear that?
Aristotle said it.
[CHUCKLING] You know...
You know how you worry about me?
Yes, master.
[LAUGHS]
Well, you have reason to.
Jeannie, I've been
looking forward to this vacation
for a long time.
Going to the great outdoors.
Under the stars, under the trees
with maybe a fire
in front of the tent.
And a tinkling little stream
in the distance.
I need a rest.
A R-E-S-T.
Yes, master. Yes.
Oh, good evening, Major Nelson,
I hope we're not disturbing you.
It's my fault anyway, major.
I insisted that we come by
and thank you personally.
Yes.
Come in.
Thank you.
You're camping
in your living room.
Yeah, it's sort
of a rehearsal, sir.
With trees?
BELLOWS:
And a babbling brook?
I wanted to get the feel of it.
I think it's marvelous.
Oh, Alfred, why don't we ever
do something like this?
Amanda, I spend half my life
curing people
who do things like this.
I see you even have
a fire going.
Yes, sir.
Got chilly in here.
I think we'll be running along.
Oh, yes. But, major, listen,
I want to thank you again.
You don't know
what that group did for me.
I can't tell you
what they did for me.
I wouldn't wait until tomorrow
to go on your vacation
if I were you.
I'd leave now.
Trees.
Tent, fire and...
babbling brook.
Hey, baby.
How you doing?
Yeah, look,
I just played your new song.
Well, let me see.
The bridge is very weak.
Well, the tempo's awful.
The lyric?
Stinks.
I think you got another smash.
Congratulations.
Look, I'm ordering
100,000 records,
and that's just the beginning.
Uh, look,
I'll talk to you later.
How did you get in here?
Excuse me,
are you Mr. Phil Spector?
Look, it's been a real bad day.
Would you come back in April?
Are you not looking for singers?
[RINGS]
You'll have to make
an appointment. Uh, hello?
No.
No, you have to go to Nashville,
and bring the group back
yourself.
I'm telling you,
it's the greatest group
I ever heard in years.
Of course you have to bring
their mother with them,
they're only nine years old.
What?
Are you still here?
What is this, a convention?
Where is Bill?
I don't know.
Helen, will you please get
these people out of my office...

[MUSIC FADES OUT]
Great.
I can feel it here.
You mean you really like it?
Like it?
What does the phrase,
"number one record" mean to you?
Ohh!
Hey, Tony!
Hi. What are you doing?
Um, baking a chocolate,
angel-food cake.
Y-you're really going, huh?
Yep.
Oh, you're gonna have a ball.
Boy, I really envy you.
Uh, remember me
when you're spending my money.
Will do.
Uh, where's Jeannie?
She isn't going.
She isn't...?
What do you mean...
Well, what happened?
I'll tell you what happened.
She's more interested
in four, absolute strangers
than she is in me.
Who are the strangers?
Oh, their names are
Boyce & Hart.
Oh, you mean the guys at the bazaar?
Yeah.
Oh, they were brilliant. I mean,
really. I mean, they were the...
They were average...
Below average group.
Well, let her stay.
Who needs her anyway?
Yeah, yeah,
who needs her anyway.
It'll be great being away
from her for two or three weeks.
Oh! Yeah, great.
You'll have a ball.
Yeah, just...
Just have a ball.
No one to get me in trouble
every time I turn around.
Yeah, no one to cook for you.
No one to try to run
my life for me.
No one to take care of you.
Yeah.
Really looking forward
to this, Roge.
I'm gonna have a terrible time.
You want me to help you
put them in there?
Well, why don't you just cancel
the whole thing?
What do you mean ca...?
I can't cancel.
It'd give her the upper hand
for the rest of my life.
Yeah, well, what's she got now?
Besides, it's the principle
of the thing.
I got 300 dollars tied up
in that equipment.
Well, think of it this way.
It only cost you 200 dollars.
JEANNIE:
Master!
Hey, what do you mean?
There's Jeannie now.
JEANNIE:
Master!
I knew she'd come back.
I never doubted it for a minute.
Master!
Oh! Oh.
I looked all over for you.
Oh, well, I was, uh,
just leaving, Jeannie.
Oh, but I could not let you
leave without me.
Couldn't you?
Oh, no, I would miss you
so very much.
Well, let this be
a lesson to you.
How long would
it take you to pack?
Oh, not long.
Oh! Well...
You sure
you didn't forget anything?
I do not think so.
So long, Roge.
Yeah.
Well, have a good time,
and, uh, write me something
in Jeannie, huh?
We will.
Now, I have our route
all marked out.
First, we stop in Chicago.
Um, Jeannie, we're going
to Little Bear Lake.
Oh, did I not tell you?
We are going on tour.
After Chicago,
we stop in Minneapolis,
Detroit and Montreal.
