Mister Ed1958

Wilbur Post:
Carol, at all costs, I'm not going to let Roger dress up Ed for some photography contest.

Carol Post:
Why not?

Wilbur Post:
Because I don't want Ed to look ridiculous.

Carol Post:
You're the one that's being ridiculous!

Wilbur Post:
Carol, I know you may not know this, but Ed comes from a very distinquished family.

Carol Post:
[scoffs] I find that hard to belive.

Wilbur Post:
It's true. I could never desecrate the son of a war hero.

Carol Post:
War hero?

Wilbur Post:
Ed lost his father at the Battle of San Juan Hill. He was the horse that Teddy Roosevelt was riding on during the charge up the hill. The horse that was shot out from under Teddy.

Carol Post:
How can that be? That battle was in 1898, over 60 years ago. Ed's father wasn't even born then.

Wilbur Post:
I know but...

[Wilbur's face suddenly lights up with suprise, and in seconds the suprised look turns into anger as he finally realizes that Mister Ed had lied to him]

Wilbur Post:
[angry] Carol, have you finished Ed's costume yet?

Carol Post:
Just about.

Wilbur Post:
Well, finish it! And get Roger on the phone... we are taking that picture of Ed! The sooner the better!

Carol Post:
Oh Wilbur, thank you! I knew you'd come to your senses. I'll also talk to Kay and she can help me with the costume.

Wilbur Post:
Good! I'll go and get Ed ready.

Carol Post:
Say, what made you change your mind?

Wilbur Post:
No horse is going to make a monkey out of me!
