Manners in School (1958)

[Music] yeah it's almost time best Larry I just wanted to remind you it's your Bo a Miss ran we are going to play ball at recess honest you better get somebody else some girl I'm CL thism hi Larry my name is chalky gosh you can talk sure and and run and even jump God a that's nothing important Larry I'm here for a purpose to do something about your manners what do you mean my manners I'm worried about you Larry you need someone to give you some advice some advice on how to become a regular guy say who do you think you are you're just like everyone else always picking on me I don't think I like you now now Larry no one wants to pick on you hey hey hey what are you doing I'm going to wipe you out that's what look out there hey hey stop look out now now help you think you're smart don't you my Heavens you are a bad mannered young man aren't you I dare you to come down here and say that I think we'll continue this little talk from up here now about those manners I'm afraid you've got to improve them yeah who says so I do and practically everyone else everyone who knows you thinks you're rude ah you're just making that up people like me are I'm afraid not Larry I guess I'll have to prove that though won't I You're darn to I dare you all right you ask let's look when you arrived at school yesterday wasn't time for class so you went out to the playground the other kids were you can't do that you got to work up like everybody else try and take it over away from me don't argue with him Jeff a few minutes before the Bell Rings a playall okay sign a ball well I wouldn't have had time to work up before the bell rang for class uh-uh Larry that's no excuse but speaking of the bell for class I seem to recall that you played ball after the bell rang being late for class is another example of bad manners what's more you got others into trouble by making them late too and miss Rand do you think that her morning isn't busy enough without teaching the same thing twice well gee I didn't me well I didn't um I was wondering Larry you wouldn't erase me if I came down a little well I don't know maybe maybe not I think I can trust you Larry after after all I'm just trying to be your friend I guess I'll let you stay a minute but I could get you if I really wanted to thank you Larry but I don't want you to pick on me most of the time when people offer advice they're not picking on you they're really doing their best to help you doesn't that sound reasonable well I guess so sure and almost all of us need to learn and use good manners what's so special about good manners anyway what do you want me to do curtsy when I come to school Larry good manners were never invented to make anyone look silly good manners show our consideration for the feelings of other people to help us we have rules that we follow rules of good behavior do you understand Larry well then if people are going to live and work together don't you agree that we should have rules or manners to guide them in the way they treat each other good Larry I can see that you're beginning to get the idea now I don't intend to pick on you Larry but let's go back to your behavior in class it's always Bad Manners when you don't pay attention to your teacher she's there to help you and its Bad Manners to distract your classmates look at it this way Larry if you had something to say wouldn't you want the others to listen all right then there's something to remember improve your manners by being a good listener now another little thing that happened rude when you made fun of Alice's picture of course you were just kidding you were just showing off but Alice didn't know that you were just kidding Larry it's always wrong to make fun of other people even if it's just a gag that goes for their work their appearance anything it's Bad Manners to hurt other people's feelings I'm sorry chalky I didn't mean to hurt her feelings should I apologize it's always good mans to say you're sorry when you've done something wrong oh by the way do you remember what happened just before recent yes Larry Larry Carson yeah it's almost time for recess Larry I just wanted to remind you it's extremely Bad Manners to show disrespect for your teacher by answering yeah shocky I guess I have been pretty bad tell me what else I did Larry I think we can forget about what you've done let's talk about what you could do I've got an idea chalky if I knew good manners i' I could use them maybe you could make a list of good manners in school say that is a good idea let's make it together hold on there you just tell me what you want to write well first manners in school hey that's neat how'd you do it nothing to it now what's the first good mans rule let's see one pay attention in
