Uh-oh. There's a friend in need.

Hey, cheer up.

- Who are you? - I'm a Good Guy.

I've just come from the Good Guy clubhouse,

and I'll be your friend to the end.

You will? You mean you'll be my friend now?

Sure, I will.

I saw this one.

All right, Good Guys, that's our "Good Guy Show" for today,

but don't go away,

because we've got a very important Good Guy message

just for you.

Hi, Good Guys. Boy, have I got news for you.

Now you can have your very own Good Guy doll.

That's right. You can have all the adventures

we have on TV in your very own home.

Good Guys say three different sentences.

We even turn our heads and blink our eyes when you talk to us.

Right, Oscar?

Hi, I'm Oscar, and I'm your friend to the end.

Hidey-ho!

Wow!

Every Good Guy has a name all his own

so he can be your very own best friend.

So remember to tell Mom and Dad you want a Good Guy.

Perfect for birthdays or just any old time.

And remember, you can buy

all of our Good Guy accessories, too.

- Right, Oscar? - Right.

Mommy, wake up!

Mommy!

Mommy, wake up!

Mommy, wake up!

- Wake up, Mommy, wake up! - Andy!

- What time is it, Andy? - Wake up.

6:30. It's only 6:30 in the morning.

Oh!

But it's a beautiful day outside. See?

It certainly is. How long you been up, birthday boy?

- Since forever. -

I made you breakfast in bed.

You did? Oh, God.

Well, thanks.

Well, this looks just excellent.

- Um... -

I'll tell you what.

Why don't I eat this just a little later, okay?

Mm-hmm.

But first, I gotta give you your super-duper birthday tummy-gummy.

Come here. Come here. Come here.

- - Come here.

That's one. How many years old are you today? Two?

Happy birthday, pumpkin.

Thanks. Can we open my presents now, Mommy?

- Yes, we can. - Terrific!

Good morning, Chicago. Leading off at this hour

Charles Lee Ray, the notorious Lake Shore Strangler,

was shot and killed shortly before three AM this morning on Wabash Avenue.

Can I open this first, Mommy? Can I? Can I?

Andy, don't you want to start with the smaller one first?

Okay, go ahead.

Well, what do you think? You need these clothes so badly.

Hey, I think they're gonna be okay.

We'll just have to take them up just a couple inches.

- What's the matter? - Nothing.

Oh, I know. You want some toys, don't you?

Not boring old clothes.

Try the other one.

Well? What do you think?

I want a Good Guy to go with it.

I know you do, Andy, but I didn't know about it

in time this month to save up for it.

[Sal-En.

You know that doll you wanted for Andy? The one that costs 100 bucks.

- Yeah, the Good Guy doll. - There's a peddler in the alley

behind the store and I think he's got one.

What? What would a peddler be doing with a doll?

Who cares? Would you grab your purse and come on? We can get a deal on it.

- But I can't just leave my counter. - Do you want the damn doll or don't you?

- Of course I do. - Well then come on.

- Come on! - All right!

There he is.

Okay, show her.

Well, is it a Good Guy or not?

It is. It is!

- Yeah, well, I told you. - Oh, uh, how much do you want for it?

- 50 bucks. - 10 and not a penny more.

- 30. - What, are you kidding?

That thing is not worth 30 dollars.

Hey, look. Take it or leave it. Somebody else will buy it.

- I'll take it. - Karen, it's too much money.

No, it isn't. You have no idea how much Andy wants this doll.

But we don't even know if the damn thing works.

Here you go, lady.

May it bring you and your kid a lot of joy.

Thank you.

Hey! Hold on, you!

How do we know the damn thing isn't stolen, huh?

- Steal this! - Ah, steal this yourself.

- Maggie. - I think I dated him.

Come on. We gotta get back to work.

Maggie, I don't know how you do it.

Andy's going to love it!

Mrs. Barclay, so nice of you to drop by. Have a nice break?

I'm sorry, Mr. Criswell. I was only gone for a minute.

Have a heart, Criswell.

We were downstairs buying her little boy a birthday present.

We have specified break times for activities like that, Miss Peterson.

Mrs. Howe has taken sick and we're shorthanded tonight.

You'll have to fill in for her.

I can't. I have to pick up my son at the day care center in an hour.

- I'm sorry, this is an emergency. - Wait a second, I'll take over for her.

Miss Peterson, you work in shoes, not in jewelry.

You'll just simply have to do it.

Now, you can take off at five but you'll have to be back at seven.

It's my son's birthday.

Mrs. Barclay, are you happy with your job here?

Yes, of course I am.

- Then I suggest that... - Hey.

Chill out, would you, Walter? Huh?

- I'll take care of Andy for you. - Oh, Maggie, you can't do it again.

Don't be silly. It'll be the hottest date I've had in months.

I can't imagine why.

- Hey, where are you going? - Good Guys are on TV.

Well, I may have something better for you.

What?

This isn't groceries.

A Good Guy! I knew it!

I knew you'd get me one!

Show me how he works, okay?

Hi, I'm Andy. What's your name?

Hi, I'm Chucky, and I'm your friend to the end.

- Hidey-ho. -

Wow! He's something, isn't he?

Oh, Mom, thanks.

You're welcome, honey.

See, that's how you build things.

WDOL with a late-breaking report.

Eddie Caputo, reputed accomplice of Charles Lee Ray,

has just escaped the Michigan Avenue Precinct.

More details to follow on the news at nine next.

Hey, Chucky, you're not watching me.

Hey, want to play?

Hey, it's time for bed, Andy.

Come on, Chucky. We have to get ready to go to bed.

Aunt Maggie, Chucky wants to watch
