Philip Boynton

Oct 9, 2026

13:46
It afforded some relief, however, to sit in the cafeteria at lunchtime and pour my baleful story into the handsome ears of Mr. Boynton.
13:54
Well now, now let's see if I've got this straight, Ms. Brooks.
13:57
Two weeks ago, Mr. Conklin gave you the school phone bill, told you it was overdue and must be paid at once.
14:02
You gave it to Walter Denton.
14:03
Walter Denton gave it to Stretch Snodgrass.
14:05
Stretch Snodgrass gave it to his sister.
14:27
Temporarily, we've got to assume it's gone, and the point is, where am I going to get another $30?
14:33
Well, perhaps some other member of the faculty might help.
speaker_10UNKNOWN
14:09
[laughs]
14:11
We're extremely short of supplies, Ms. Brooks, so I want you to check every requisition very carefully before handing them out.
14:17
And if for any reason you have to leave the stockroom, you know what to do?
speaker_10UNKNOWN
17:20
[laughs]
17:22
I was talking to Mr. Jensen, the janitor, about it, and he's promised to speak to Mr. Conklin and get him to inspect the system himself.
17:28
You see, I have a lot of electrical appliances in the lab now, but none of them give off much heat.
17:33
I- I've got to have another outlet if I'm to attach any other-
Bob LamondNARRATOR
2:04
Let's listen.
2:06
Oh, my darling Constance, you're so lovely, so desirable.
2:11
I feel I could fly on the wings of our love.
2:14
Won't you join me, Constance, on a flight to paradise?

16 MINS LATER

18:12
Why, Mr. Boynton, you've been peeking at my x-rays.
18:14
x-rays.Serious.
18:19
I know that I can appeal to you for assistance without fear of embarrassment, and I know when you hear my story, you'll want to help.
8:58
Oh, I'm sure we'll get along splendidly.
9:00
And you'll be crazy about my dad.
9:02
Oh, what a sense of humor he's got.
9:04
He's the one who told me the joke about the quiz master who called out, I've got a lady doctor, but before he could ask her any questions, she stuck a thermometer in his mouth and took his pulse.
9:13
Isn't that a scream?

20 MINS LATER

29:01
What I mean is,
29:02
when you gave up your room for Mother, I suddenly realized that you're not only attractive, but also sweet and unselfish.
29:09
So, Miss Brooks, instead of just shaking hands like we usually do...
22:48
But do you know the habits of a Great Dane?
22:50
Well, Miss Brooks, I'm a biologist, if I say so myself.
22:53
I know the habits of animals from A to Z, or perhaps I should say from aardvark to zebra.
22:59
[laughs] That's a little joke we scientists like to tell.
23:20
In the supply room.
23:21
Mm-hmm.
23:22
Now, now, let's consider for a moment the Dane's remarkable sense of hearing.
23:26
It's five times greater than a man's, you know.
2:58
Romantic?
2:59
Mm-hmm.
3:01
I know I haven't been the most aggressive chap in the world, but I do think of other things besides my biological experiments.
3:07
Things that are...
3:08
Well, more personal.
3:10
Personal? Yes.
3:13
The things that a man thinks about a woman sometimes, whether she's a fellow teacher or not.
6:21
know I never bet.
16:41
Namely?
16:42
My, um, uh, uh, my grandmother.
16:44
Uh, that's it.
16:45
My, my grandmother came into town unexpectedly this morning, and I promised to take her out for the day.
16:49
She's, uh, she's rather helpless, you see, because, well, she's quite far along in years.

8 MINS LATER

24:26
Davis.Well, Mr. Boynton, doing a little last-minute Christmas shopping?
24:30
Oh, not exactly, Miss Brooks.
24:32
Miss Enright asked me to come over here right after school.
17:25
I've been more or less expecting you.
17:27
Oh, good.
17:27
Now I'll just set this tray down.
17:30
Oh, I certainly had a difficult morning.
17:33
Some of those kids just flatly refuse to learn biology.
speaker_15UNKNOWN
18:25
[laughs]
18:28
Well, I don't understand, Miss Brooks.
18:30
Just what is it you'd like me to observe? Have you got a new hairdo, or did you manicure your nails in a different shade?
8:55
I'll be expecting you and Tom about noon.
9:00
Tom? Oh, you mean the turkey.
9:03
Well, I'm afraid he won't be with me, Miss Brooks.
9:05
You see, at this very moment, the turkey is on a train headed upstate.

19 MINS LATER

28:32
I guess you and I are pretty fortunate.
28:34
We certainly are.
28:35
But I just remembered that there's another member of Madison's faculty who's all alone tonight and needs cheering up pretty badly.
28:41
Let's do something about it, shall we, Miss Brooks?
18:40
Boynton.
18:40
Oh, it's coming, Miss Brooks.
18:42
Say, the cafeteria's pretty crowded today.
18:43
Here's your tray.
18:45
I don't have much of an appetite myself.
18:47
In my second period, Mr. Conklin came into the lab and brought me a bag of donuts and a bottle of milk.
18:52
He said anyone who worked as diligently as I did needed more nourishment.
19:09
I can't understand this sudden metamorphosis myself.
14:21
Namely?
14:22
My, uh, my grandmother.
14:25
That's it.
14:26
My grandmother came into town unexpectedly this morning, and I promised to take her out for the day.
14:29
She's, uh, she's rather helpless, you see, because, well, she's quite far along in years.

11 MINS LATER

Bob LamondNARRATOR
25:54
This girl gets nothing.
25:56
Now, hold on there, Mr. Bush.
25:57
The contest rules clearly state that the winner must be a child.
11:07
So long, Stretch.
11:13
Come in.
11:15
Well, Miss Brooks, I'll be with you in just a minute.
11:17
I've been trying to correct this biology test paper.
11:19
It's an essay.
11:20
Oh? I can hardly make out the name.
11:23
The writing is so illegible.
11:52
Yes, it is pretty bad.
10:54
Oh, that's terrible.
10:56
I'd be satisfied with any sort of a small place to stay in for the weekend until I can find another apartment.
11:03
Uh...
11:04
I was wondering if you have any suggestions.
11:34
No,
11:35
no thanks.
11:36
I'm not in the market for a trailer, Miss Brooks.
11:38
But if you could only let me stay in it for the weekend, I'd be indebted to you for life.
15:37
Here's a nice table by the window, Mr. Boynton.
15:39
Sorry it's coming, Miss Brooks.
15:41
Say, cafeteria's pretty crowded today.
15:43
Here's your tray.
15:44
I don't have much of an appetite myself.
15:46
I- In my second period, Mr. Conklin came into the lab and brought me a bag of donuts and a bottle of milk.
16:08
I can't understand this sudden metamorphosis myself.
16:11
Well, he started off the day by roaring into my lab like a wounded bull elephant, and asked me why my cages weren't ready for the Clean Up, Paint Up, Fix Up campaign.
12:36
[laughs]
12:37
Yes, they did have 600 of them up there last year, but I don't know, Ms. Brooks.
12:42
Even with the chaperones, you, you know how people talk, and unless we didn't say anything about it, but even then they might find out.
12:50
Although we'd only be gone a couple of days.
12:52
Still, if the rumor got around that we were-
13:21
[laughs]
13:25
I still insist that no one should hear about it, though.
13:27
For the sake of both our reputations, absolute secrecy is essential.
20:03
All right, then I'll let you pay for it.
20:05
Well, that's not the solution either.
20:08
It's a matter of principle with me.
20:10
If I throw my budget out the window this time, I'll be tempted to do it again.
20:13
A thing like that can become habit-forming.
20:15
Don't you see, Miss Brooks, spending money is a disease?
speaker_8UNKNOWN
20:48
aboard.
20:51
You see, the truth of the matter is I spent my last six dollars getting the car repaired, and I just haven't enough money to put any gas in this afternoon.
9:12
And how late were you up fixing your hair?
9:14
Until four o'clock.
9:17
Shucks, I might as well admit it.
9:19
The prospect of having my likeness appear in a magazine is the most exciting thing that ever happened to me.
9:24
Isn't it the most exciting thing that ever happened to you? You should know.

8 MINS LATER

17:43
A lamb chop, some potatoes, peas...
17:45
Just a minute.
17:46
I've got a scheme that might save us our jobs, Miss Brooks.
9:49
Yes, and it's my guess that right now she and her western drawl are loping over to the old bunkhouse in Mr. Boynton's lab.
9:58
Oh, hello there, Miss Brooks.
11:53
Madly.
11:55
Oh, I love all animals, Mr. Boynton.
11:58
You know, sometimes I get to thinking about my childhood days on Dad's farm, Miss Brooks.
12:04
Oh, I miss those days a lot.
12:07
I hope Victor asks me out to his farm someday.
16:30
Here, take one.
16:32
I'll take two, if you don't mind.
16:34
You know how those banquets are.
16:35
Probably won't serve for hours yet.
16:37
You know, it's funny how people acquire different eating habits.
16:40
Some people like to eat three square meals a day.
16:42
Me, I like to pick.
21:42
I think he's looking for a nice pool of Alka-Seltzer.
9:25
I'll be expecting you and Tom about noon.
9:29
Tom? Oh, you mean the turkey.
9:32
Well, I'm afraid he won't be with me, Miss Brooks.
9:35
You see, at this very moment, the turkey is on a train headed upstate.

19 MINS LATER

28:46
I guess you and I are pretty fortunate.
28:48
We certainly are.
28:50
But I just remembered that there's another member of Madison's faculty who's all alone tonight and needs cheering up pretty badly.
28:55
Let's do something about it, shall we, Miss Brooks?
Rick BurgessADVERTISER
24:40
All right, Ms. Brooks, and I know Mr. Boynton will be tickled to hear it
24:43
it[knocking] Come in.
24:52
Oh, hello, Miss Brooks.
25:59
And I'm surprised that you don't feel the same way.
26:02
Well, I, I would like to root for the old team, but I promised Mr. LeBlance the ticket, and once I make a promise, I keep it.
26:09
Well, don't worry about me, Miss Brooks.
26:11
I'll find something to do.
26:12
I'll probably take Miss Enright to a movie or something.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
11:26
could happen to me.
11:47
My dad lost his job once, and he was my age at the time.
11:53
Funny.
11:54
I remember Dad telling me about it.
11:56
Son, he said,

11 MINS LATER

22:41
You remember me, Madame Le Boucher? And of course, this gentleman here with the alpine jacket and the bare knees is Bane Eric Stromstad.
22:51
Eric Stromstad? You? Oh, that's the silliest costume I ever saw.
22:56
Shut
speaker_3UNKNOWN
19:34
It
19:36
did sound pretty good.
19:38
Now, I'll still have to stay close to him to see how the medication I'm giving him catches on.
19:42
I'll get to lunch as soon as I can, though.
19:44
Ah, good old Jacques Monet.
19:46
He's a real man's man.
23:14
Well, uh, why not? Frog's legs are delicious to eat.
23:18
Let's all have them, huh? Me? Eat frog's legs? I'd feel like a...
21:41
Yeah, we raided some racketeers, and the next thing we knew, we were in the pie wagon.
21:46
Well, they have no right to hold you here.
21:48
Oh, officer.
21:50
Officer.
21:51
What is it now? Why, there's been a mistake.
21:54
Please open this cell and let these people out of here.
21:57
Oh, let these people out of here, is it? Why, yes, it just happens that I've had quite a bit of legal training in addition to my biological background, and I can tell you that you have no legal basis upon which to hold them any longer.
22:16
Tell him you'll have him pounding a beat in the swamp.
17:59
Yes, Mr. Boynton?
18:01
I've heard from many people how generous and warm-hearted you are under your veneer of seeming sophistication.
18:06
Of course, I've always known that you're true blue, a hundred percent human being, deep down below the surface.
19:17
They're sick.
19:18
No, not at all.
19:19
They're wonderful specimens.
19:21
But they're orphans.
19:23
Please, Miss Brooks, what I'm trying to tell you is that...
