Well now Charlie Let’s uh let’s take a shotgun from here as he’s coming out of the building after a day’s work huh you know I’ve taken pictures of big shots movie stars Kings I have never run into a ham like this one uh what do you expect yesterday’s an ordinary bus
Driver today he’s gonna have his picture taken getting free free paid spread in Universal magazine tomorrow is being honored at City Hall it’s got to affect him uh big deal he won an award is the safest bus driver in the city sure sure it’s a big deal the biggest thing that
Happened to a bus driver look you all yeah bringing the man of the hour make it natural huh Mr Crandon what are you trying to do well I thought that would be a good pose you know for the cover of your magazine Mr crown and this picture isn’t going to
Be on the cover this is just one in a series of Articles dealing with the big days and the lives of people in various lines of work well when you wrote the story about Marilyn Monroe you had her picture on a couple if you get into a bikini bathing suit
We’ll put your picture on the cover now look Mr panel just stand there as you are and we’ll take the shot until you just come out huh Charlie go ahead thank you well that’s all I’m going back to the office okay Charlie see you tomorrow at
City Hall uh the commission is off yeah 12 30 Sharp oh Mr cramlin can we finish this interview over a cup of coffee oh well I’d like to but like I said I’m waiting for my friend that I told you about Ed Norton he’s going to meet me
Here well I guess we can do it here uh Mr Kramden something you said struck me as being very strange now uh you’ve just won the award as the safest bus driver of the year and yet you say that you felt that bus drivers don’t get the recognition they should
Well that’s right you see here this award that I’m getting is a special award you know it’s not an award that’s given out all the time and uh like cops and firemen they get Awards all the time and I think that a bus driver is just as
Much of a public serving as they are yeah but those awards are usually given out for bravery in the face of extreme danger now uh when does a bus driver have to show bravery in the face of extreme danger when all the time all right only the other
Day a lady got on my bus she’s got a dog it must have been six foot high it’s one of those French poodles you know with the Italian haircuts so she tries to get on the bus but the guy said wait a minute lady you can’t
Bring that Mongrel in here she says what do you mean Mongrel it’s a pedigree I said I don’t care what it is Pedigree or a Mongolia it can’t get in the bus well uh what did she say to that she says how dare you she says this dog has weighed
Ten thousand dollars well then what did you do he said if he’s white that much let him take a cab boy well how’s the celebrity all ready to go home now yeah pal oh by the way yeah this is Mr Martin from Universal magazine this is my friend Ed Norton how
Do you do that well I’m glad they had the chance to ask me some questions Mr Norton well if the category is Ralph Prime then I’m willing to take a shot at the 64 000 question well let’s see how to begin with your close friends well I
Am as close as anybody can get the real family long time tell me how long ago did you meet oh I’d say uh 150 pounds ago you’re a riot man the real right uh Mr Knightley tell me something what uh what kind of work do you do well I
I’m employed by the city I’ve seen a white collar job no you say it was a horrible what color job I’m a underground engineer uh he uh works in the sewer Marsha lyman’s way of putting it Mr Norton tell me something have you ever ridden in your friend’s bus here oh
Yes I ride my friend’s bus every opportunity I get the chance because I’m assured of a comfortable smooth safe ride and besides that he lets me ride on the bus for nothing Sorry Charlie left I’d like to have gotten a picture of you two together oh

But uh he was taken down with a sudden attack of the flu who’s going to present the award well I’ve arranged to have uh judge Lawrence Norton a hurdle take the commissioner’s Place judge hurdle that’s right hollering hurdle hollering yeah he’s a traffic court judge famous for his 50
Fines and 50 minute lectures oh yes that’s right he’s very strict about Traffic Offenders but there’s nobody in the world he admires more than a careful driver well he said he’d be very honored to give you the award thank you very much yes now I’ll get the judge oh by the way
After you get your award I’ll take you upstairs and let you meet the mayor because I know is there something wrong Mr Mr Kramden and I were involved in a traffic accident a few months wait wait wait until you hear the whole story I was under the impression that
The accident was Mr kramden’s fault that he didn’t put out his hand to make a right turn but on the way over here my wife informed me that he did put out his hand and that I failed to see it well if for a very good reason because it
Unluckily I was wearing my reading glasses instead of my regular glasses yeah so the accident is my fault time to keep the record straight I’m finding myself fifty dollars don’t forget the 50-minute lecture Mr Kramden it gives me real pleasure to present to you this award as the year’s safest bus driver
Thank you uh may I say thank you very much in uh presenting me with this award I know that I am not worthy of it but still I would wish to accept it on behalf of all the other bus drivers in the country who drive I
Am glad to see that people realize that a bus driver hasn’t got an easy job of it and that the safety of the public is always the uppermost things in their mind and once again I want to thank you and you for presenting me with this and

Well he doesn’t want to take and I’m telling you bro if you remember the dancers we used to go to at the sons of Italy Hall yeah yeah yeah they had some good bands in that joint too Isom Jones Ted fear Rita yeah little Jack little
Not to forget basil foamy basil for me not even messing with his toy piano you know something talking like this it teaches you one thing acting young isn’t my peepsie young but if you got some memories some good memories Young that’s what keeps you young thinking
About it in your old days when you were a kid all the things that you did that’s the whole secret of it you know it’s a shame I read some place one time and a guy was right about it too I think it was uh Bernard Shaw he says it’s a shame
That youth has to be wasted on young people that’s right Folk you know something wrong why I learned something tonight too yeah why well I learned that I don’t even mind growing old as long as you and I grow all together baby
