- [towards the end, Goofy has fully recovered from the cold and is back at work two weeks later]
- Narrator: And so, two weeks later, Mr. Geef's cold has run its natural course and once again, Mr. Geef felt just like a human being. Mr. Geef was firmly convinced that a cold is nothing to be sneezed at.
- Narrator: The carrier of the common cold is a tiny virus easily identified by his red nose. Although the virus wins few friends, he "influenzas" many people. Sometimes the average man seems to deliberately try to catch cold.
- [Goofy AKA George Geef has caught a cold and his boss catches him sneezing]
- Boss: Geef! Take that cold outta here!
- Goofy: [clearly congested] But boss, look. I don't have a cold.
- [He sneezes again, knocking the phone off his desk]
- Boss: Now look, Geef. A cold is nothing to be sneezed at.
- [pause]
- Boss: BEAT IT!
- Narrator: [Goofy had been sent home from work early because of a cold he has] Poor Geef, an outcast from society, shunned by a cruel, cold world.
- Goofy: [returning home and sneezing the front door open] Hello?
- [sneezes again]
- Goofy: I feel awful!
- [looks around; no one is there]
- Goofy: Where is everybody?
- [sees note on table and reads it]
- Goofy: "Honey, playing bridge at Mabel's. Dinner in icebox." Deserted!
- Narrator: Deserted by the ones he loves the most in his hour of need, alone with his misery.
