00:02:11,898 --> 00:02:15,857
Make the same. It's good for you.
Spring air.

3
00:02:16,236 --> 00:02:19,672
The way you're gulping it up,
there won't be enough left to go around.

4
00:02:19,739 --> 00:02:22,708
Isn't it very hot for so early in April,
Dr. Gurkakoff?

5
00:02:22,775 --> 00:02:24,140
I'm not surprised.

6
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:27,202
This recent bombardment
by ions from the sun.

7
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,408
You see, temperature is due
to the quantity of molecular...

8
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:32,212
Hey, hey. Stop, stop,

9
00:02:32,285 --> 00:02:33,843
if you don't want me to retaliate

10
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,946
by reciting all the tributary branches
of the Amazon.

11
00:02:37,023 --> 00:02:40,550
Incredible that only last week we were
drawing lots for our hot water bottle.

12
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:43,824
Observe the forsythia or golden bell.

13
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:46,161
I never knew it to bloom so early.

14
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:56,809
Gentlemen. Gentlemen.

15
00:02:58,278 --> 00:02:59,939
It's 8:46, gentlemen.

16
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:02,641
Oh, Potts.
Just once more around the park.

17
00:03:02,715 --> 00:03:04,740
Before we go back to our mausoleum.

18
00:03:04,817 --> 00:03:06,546
I saw a scarlet tanager

19
00:03:06,619 --> 00:03:09,918
which must have flown
all the way from Florida just to enjoy it.

20
00:03:09,989 --> 00:03:11,650
- 1,500 miles.
- Yes.

21
00:03:11,724 --> 00:03:14,591
Our constitutional
has taken up too much time already.

22
00:03:14,661 --> 00:03:16,185
We're working under pressure.

23
00:03:16,262 --> 00:03:19,527
After nine years of effort we are,
as the race track enthusiast might say,

24
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:21,157
in the home stretch.

25
00:03:21,234 --> 00:03:23,225
Three more years
and our encyclopedia will be finished.

26
00:03:23,303 --> 00:03:25,567
Let's not bog down
in the middle of the letter "S."

27
00:03:25,638 --> 00:03:27,765
PROFESSOR: All right. All right.
That's done it.

28
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,866
It's now 8:49, gentlemen.
I, for one, am going back to work.

29
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:33,538
- Teacher's pet!
- Bertram Potts, the incorruptible.

30
00:03:33,613 --> 00:03:35,444
The eternal no-no man.

31
00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:36,504
Back home. Back home.

32
00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:39,108
Oh, well,
it may be raining this afternoon, anyway.

(WHISTLING)

34
00:03:59,272 --> 00:04:01,365
- Good morning, Miss Bragg.
- Good morning, Miss Bragg.

35
00:04:01,441 --> 00:04:04,376
- Good morning, Miss Bragg.
- Good morning, Professor.

- Good morning.

37

- Good morning, Miss Bragg.
- Good morning, Professor.

38
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:14,850
Gentlemen, before you get down to work,
I have got something to say.

39
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:16,912
One of you made off with
a jar of strawberry preserves

40
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:18,252
from my pantry last night.

41
00:04:18,324 --> 00:04:22,761
I located the empty jar on the shelf behind
<i>The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.</i>

42
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:26,060
That seems to indicate our historian,
Professor Peagram.

43
00:04:26,132 --> 00:04:27,565
I did no such thing, Miss Bragg.

44
00:04:27,634 --> 00:04:29,192
I'm not accusing anybody,

45
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:32,761
but until it's cleared up, I think
we'll dispense with jam for breakfast.

46
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,103
- Miss Bragg.
- Yes, Professor Oddly.

47
00:04:35,174 --> 00:04:36,766
I am the one.

48
00:04:36,843 --> 00:04:41,280
I was writing about strawberries
when suddenly I got a horrible craving.

49
00:04:41,347 --> 00:04:43,747
A crime confessed is half atoned.

50
00:04:45,385 --> 00:04:47,319
Miss Bragg. Miss Bragg.

51
00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:50,652
I had some material here.
What happened to it?

52
00:04:50,723 --> 00:04:51,815
What happened?

53
00:04:51,891 --> 00:04:54,359
I blushed for my duster
when I did your desk.

54
00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:57,453
You'll find everything
in the middle drawer, face down.

55
00:04:57,530 --> 00:05:01,830
I'm just starting my article on sex,
Miss Bragg. Any objections?

56
00:05:01,901 --> 00:05:06,031
No, I trust you have more control
of yourself than Professor Oddly.

57
00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:12,637
Professor Gurkakoff,
your window shade again.

58
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:14,646
Yes, Miss Bragg.

59
00:05:14,714 --> 00:05:17,376
It's a crime
to carelessly expose this good carpet.

60
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:19,941
You've just committed
a more serious crime, Miss Bragg.

61
00:05:20,019 --> 00:05:21,782
You have split an infinitive.

62
00:05:21,854 --> 00:05:25,620
Never "to carelessly expose."
Always "to expose carelessly."

63
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:27,091
I'm not here to juggle words.

64
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,890
It's my job
to conscientiously see that this house...

65
00:05:29,962 --> 00:05:31,896
You've just split another one, Miss Bragg.

66
00:05:31,964 --> 00:05:33,022
- Professor...
- Oh, oh.

67
00:05:33,099 --> 00:05:34,726
- Here's whatchamacallit.
- Who?

68
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:37,702
The lawyer for the Foundation.
And Miss Totten's with him.

69
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:39,965
And this place looking like a flicker's nest.

70
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:43,941
Yes, we're in for our semi-annual wigging,
I suppose.

71
00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:45,705
- You'd better put your coat on, Potts.
- Why? What...

72
00:05:45,778 --> 00:05:48,269
- Better fix your tie.
- Fix your hair, fix your hair.

73
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:49,645
Say, what is all this nonsense?

74
00:05:49,716 --> 00:05:52,685
GURKAKOFF: This nonsense is Miss Totten.
JEROME: And will you please smile at her?

75
00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:53,980
Say, this is all very undignified.

76
00:05:54,053 --> 00:05:56,385
- If you think you're being funny, I...
- Shh!

77
00:05:58,458 --> 00:06:00,756
- Morning, gentlemen.
- ALL: Good morning.

78
00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:03,057
Won't you sit here, Miss Totten?

79
00:06:03,129 --> 00:06:05,120
It's a very nice morning, Miss Totten.

80
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:07,098
Would you like to speak, Miss Totten,
or shall I?

81
00:06:07,166 --> 00:06:08,929
You, please, Mr. Larsen.

82
00:06:09,001 --> 00:06:11,060
I'll make this as brief as possible,
gentlemen.

83
00:06:11,137 --> 00:06:16,575
To date, $283,000 have been expended
in writing this encyclopedia.

84
00:06:16,943 --> 00:06:20,777
You all realize that Miss Totten's father,
the late Daniel S. Totten,

85
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:23,441
left only a quarter of a million dollars
for this project.

86
00:06:23,516 --> 00:06:26,781
Every additional penny will have to come
from Miss Totten's own pocket.

87
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:30,949
We would like a frank estimate
of how much longer you will take.

88
00:06:31,023 --> 00:06:36,017
- Maybe three years, maybe four.
- It cannot be. It just cannot be.

89
00:06:36,095 --> 00:06:38,029
Oh, my dear Miss Totten,

90
00:06:38,097 --> 00:06:40,622
you wouldn't discontinue
your father's great gesture

91
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,793
towards human enlightenment?

92
00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:45,394
"Human enlightenment."
What nonsense, Professor Jerome.

93
00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:48,838
Papa had just one reason for ever starting
this unfortunate enterprise.

94
00:06:48,908 --> 00:06:49,932
Vanity.

95
00:06:50,009 --> 00:06:52,375
He broke a blood vessel
because he found his name was omitted

96
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:54,037
from the <i>Encyclopedia Britannica.</i>

97
00:06:54,113 --> 00:06:57,241
Because 30 pages were devoted
to Thomas Alva Edison,

98
00:06:57,316 --> 00:06:59,307
17 to Alexander Graham Bell,

99
00:06:59,385 --> 00:07:03,947
but not one line to Daniel S. Totten,
the inventor of the electric toaster.

100
00:07:05,391 --> 00:07:07,825
In our encyclopedia,

101
00:07:07,894 --> 00:07:11,091
Mr. Totten shall receive
an appropriate amount of space.

102
00:07:11,164 --> 00:07:12,722
- Oh, yes, yes.
- Yes, of course.

103
00:07:12,799 --> 00:07:15,996
- Three quarters of a page, I should think.
- Three quarters of a page?

104
00:07:16,068 --> 00:07:17,763
- That's all he deserves.
- Is it?

105
00:07:17,837 --> 00:07:19,498
You may go on, Mr. Larsen.

106
00:07:19,572 --> 00:07:22,097
All we ask is
that you bring this thing to a close

107
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:24,837
somehow or the other.
Get on with it. Slap it together.

108
00:07:24,911 --> 00:07:27,209
Mr. Larsen, may I have a word?

109
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,511
- Hello, Professor Potts.
- Hello, Miss Totten.

110
00:07:31,584 --> 00:07:34,485
Mr. Larsen, you said, "Slap it together."

111
00:07:35,321 --> 00:07:37,118
We're not the slapping together kind.

112
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:38,851
We have started an encyclopedia,

113
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:41,621
and we shall finish it
as thoroughly as is humanly possible.

114
00:07:41,694 --> 00:07:44,561
- Another $100,000?
- If necessary, yes.

115
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:47,793
If our work goes slowly
it's because the world, it goes so fast.

116
00:07:47,867 --> 00:07:50,131
Take Professor Jerome, our geographer.

117
00:07:50,203 --> 00:07:51,329
He has to rewrite all the time.

118
00:07:51,404 --> 00:07:53,099
- And Dr. Magenbruch...
- LARSEN: I'm not interested.

119
00:07:53,172 --> 00:07:55,299
Don't interrupt, Mr. Larsen.

120
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:57,502
Go on, Professor.

121
00:07:58,711 --> 00:08:00,736
I'm sure it's your wish that this monument

122
00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:04,112
to your father be finished
as nobly as it was begun.

123
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,918
I'm appealing to you, Miss Totten,

124
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:11,889
to your vision and to your heart.

125
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:13,949
Maybe I'm a little inarticulate,

126
00:08:14,026 --> 00:08:16,460
but I've always regarded you as a...

127
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:18,487
Yes, Professor?

128
00:08:20,132 --> 00:08:22,123
Always regarded you as a...

129
00:08:22,201 --> 00:08:23,168
(EX CLAIMING)

130
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:25,093
Oh, Professor.

131
00:08:27,773 --> 00:08:31,265
- You know what I mean, Miss Totten.
- Yes.

132
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:33,869
I warn you, Miss Totten,
another four years of this, with...

133
00:08:33,946 --> 00:08:36,744
After all, it was Father's wish.

134
00:08:36,816 --> 00:08:40,445
But, gentlemen, you will hurry
and finish the encyclopedia, won't you?

135
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,545
- We will.
- Yes, yes, indeed.

136
00:08:44,624 --> 00:08:47,991
Last year, when all the other professors
came to my musical,

137
00:08:48,094 --> 00:08:50,426
where were you, Professor Potts?

138
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:53,558
Sinus. But I shall be there this year.

139
00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:56,925
I shall look forward to seeing you again.

140
00:08:57,003 --> 00:08:58,664
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

141
00:08:59,171 --> 00:09:01,230
- Goodbye, madam.
- Good day.

142
00:09:01,307 --> 00:09:03,070
- Good day.
- Good day.

143
00:09:04,343 --> 00:09:06,538
(MUTTERING EX CITEDLY)

144
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,103
That maneuver down my spine
was very unnecessary.

145
00:09:09,181 --> 00:09:11,046
- Was it, my dear Potts?
- Didn't it work?

146
00:09:11,717 --> 00:09:12,911
MAN: Hi.

147
00:09:13,119 --> 00:09:15,849
I hope you don't mind.
I came through the kitchen.

148
00:09:15,922 --> 00:09:18,356
- POTTS: Who are you?
- I'm the garbage man.

149
00:09:18,758 --> 00:09:21,226
I want to find out something
about Cleopatra.

150
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:22,784
- Cleopatra?
- Yeah.

151
00:09:22,862 --> 00:09:25,023
This is some kind of a library or school,
isn't it?

152
00:09:25,097 --> 00:09:27,793
Neither, we are writing an encyclopedia.

153
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:30,028
- Icyclo-what?
- An encyclopedia.

154
00:09:30,102 --> 00:09:32,764
A work which endeavors to compile
and catalog all human knowledge.

- I'm not your sister, and you get out.

00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:53,053
MAN: More! More!
WOMAN: Yeah!

310
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:55,992
- Okay, what do you want, hep cats?
- More of the same.

311
00:19:56,061 --> 00:19:57,358
- Same thing?
- Yeah.

312
00:19:57,429 --> 00:19:59,897
Okay, we'll mix it up a little.
Come on down, Krup.

313
00:19:59,965 --> 00:20:01,626
You're gonna have to be
awful quiet on this.

314
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:03,167
I'm gonna need a little help,
okay, squares?

315
00:20:03,235 --> 00:20:04,497
- All right.
- All right.

316
00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:06,834
I want this chair,
and we'll clean off the table.

317
00:20:06,905 --> 00:20:08,463
A little juice down here, junior.

318
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:10,701
- What's cooking, Sugar?
- Match boogie, Krup. How about it?

319
00:20:10,776 --> 00:20:12,209
Want match boogie? You'll get it.
Where's some matches?

320
00:20:12,277 --> 00:20:13,369
I have some right here.

321
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:19,341
You two go with me,

322
00:20:19,418 --> 00:20:22,046
and the rest of you take boogie
with you on the orchestra, right?

323
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:23,178
- Right.
- Okay.

324
00:20:23,255 --> 00:20:25,849
Here we go, Krup, like buster's gang.

325
00:20:25,924 --> 00:20:27,915
Very quiet. One, two.

326
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:29,382
(SOFTLY SINGING <i>DRUM BOOGIE)</i>

327
00:20:29,528 --> 00:20:31,189
(EVERYONE HUMMING)

328
00:20:45,043 --> 00:20:46,237
Boogie.

329
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:18,573
Yeah!

330
00:21:21,647 --> 00:21:23,638
Young man,
what is the name of that young lady?

331
00:21:23,715 --> 00:21:26,047
- Sugarpuss O'Shea.
- An astounding specimen.

332
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:30,054
She jives by night, root, zoot and cute
and solid to boot.

333
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:31,953
- Are you kidding?
- No.

334
00:21:33,659 --> 00:21:35,251
- Come on, Sugar, quick.
- Yeah, quick is right.

335
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:36,351
What's the fever?

336
00:21:36,428 --> 00:21:37,759
Listen, Sugie, you gotta take it on the lam.

337
00:21:37,829 --> 00:21:38,818
- Yeah, they're looking for you.
- Who?

338
00:21:38,897 --> 00:21:40,023
- The District Attorney's office.
- Why?

339
00:21:40,098 --> 00:21:41,292
You've got to get dressed and out of here

340
00:21:41,366 --> 00:21:42,799
- before they slap a subpoena on you.
- A subpoena?

341
00:21:42,868 --> 00:21:44,563
Shh! Come on, we'll talk about it
in the dressing room.

342
00:21:44,636 --> 00:21:46,399
Well, why can't you tell me now?

343
00:21:48,674 --> 00:21:50,301
What is all this subpoena business?

344
00:21:50,375 --> 00:21:52,070
On account of
Benny the Creep had an accident.

345
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:53,702
I never heard of Benny the Creep.
Who's he?

346
00:21:53,779 --> 00:21:55,337
- One of the boys.
- He was on kind of an errand

347
00:21:55,414 --> 00:21:57,109
when he grazed into a police car,
that dope.

348
00:21:57,182 --> 00:22:00,174
And for that I've got to hide out?
That don't make sense, Pastrami.

349
00:22:00,252 --> 00:22:02,186
No, you see,
when the bulls gave Benny a ticket,

350
00:22:02,254 --> 00:22:03,721
they saw Kinnick in the back of the car.

351
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:04,949
- Dead.
- In the accident?

352
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:06,547
That's what Benny was trying to tell them.

353
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:08,786
- Only they saw Kinnick's feet.
- They was in a cake of cement.

354
00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:10,418
Benny was gonna dump him
in the East River.

355
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:13,191
- That was the errand.
- What is all this? Where do I come...

356
00:22:13,265 --> 00:22:15,233
Wait a second.
Is Joe Lilac mixed up in this?

357
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:16,927
The DA had him picked up
about a half hour ago.

358
00:22:17,002 --> 00:22:19,300
That's why we're here.
That's why you got to beat it.

359
00:22:19,371 --> 00:22:21,202
- Joe Lilac mixed up in a murder?
- Yeah.

360
00:22:21,273 --> 00:22:22,706
I don't believe it, not for a second.

361
00:22:22,774 --> 00:22:25,072
He was framed, Sugie, honest he was,
may I drop down dead.

362
00:22:25,143 --> 00:22:27,543
- Wasn't he, Asthma?
- And there was them pajamas they found.

363
00:22:27,612 --> 00:22:29,307
- Pajamas?
- Yeah, that's where you come in.

364
00:22:29,381 --> 00:22:31,941
Remember the dozen pink ones
you gave to the boss last Christmas?

365
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:34,212
Before you knew
that the only color Joe Lilac wears is lilac?

366
00:22:34,286 --> 00:22:35,878
- Yeah.
- So we handed them out to the boys.

367
00:22:35,954 --> 00:22:38,980
And in the suitcase right beside
Benny the Creep when he gets caught

368
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:41,150
is a pair with that big JL monogram.

369
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:45,757
SUGARPUSS: Who is it?

370
00:22:45,831 --> 00:22:48,857
I'd like to speak to Miss O'Shea
regarding an investigation I'm conducting.

371
00:22:49,067 --> 00:22:51,194
Okay, we'll take care of it.

372
00:22:51,536 --> 00:22:53,060
Just a minute.

373
00:22:57,743 --> 00:22:59,608
- How do you do, Miss O'Shea?
- Hello.

374
00:22:59,678 --> 00:23:01,578
I hate to intrude like this,
but mine is a very...

375
00:23:01,646 --> 00:23:02,840
Cut the corners. What is it?

376
00:23:02,914 --> 00:23:05,815
Well, this inquiry
is one of considerable importance.

377
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:07,852
- Stop beating up with the gums.
- What was that?

378
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:09,409
Get this. I don't know from nothing.

379
00:23:09,488 --> 00:23:12,184
Oh, but you do.
Every word you say proves as much.

380
00:23:12,257 --> 00:23:14,657
- Where's that paper?
- Subpoena?

381
00:23:14,726 --> 00:23:17,991
Suppose you tell the DA
to take a nice running jump for himself?

382
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:21,191
Bewildering. And you want to tell me
you're not the person I'm looking for?

383
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:24,929
- Say, how many of you are on this job?
- The entire project? Eight.

384
00:23:25,003 --> 00:23:28,131
Oh. The other seven waiting outside?

385
00:23:28,206 --> 00:23:30,197
Oh, no. They're at home.
Sound asleep I imagine.

386
00:23:30,275 --> 00:23:32,971
- Asleep?
- Yes, they go to bed at 9:00 every night.

387
00:23:33,044 --> 00:23:36,138
Do you mean to tell me
with crime what it is in New York...

388
00:23:36,214 --> 00:23:37,943
Say, are you a bull or aren't you?

389
00:23:38,016 --> 00:23:41,008
Well, if bull is the slang word
for professor, then I'm a bull.

390
00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:42,644
- A professor?
- Of English.

391
00:23:42,721 --> 00:23:43,710
Oh.

392
00:23:43,789 --> 00:23:45,950
I thought
there was some misunderstanding.

393
00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:47,150
Sure was.

394
00:23:47,225 --> 00:23:49,557
You see, I'm conducting an investigation
on current slang.

395
00:23:49,628 --> 00:23:52,426
Would you object
if I used you for observation and study?

396
00:23:52,497 --> 00:23:54,192
- Yeah, I would.
- If I could have your assistance

397
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,358
for just a few days it would be...

398
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:56,992
Out, out, Professor.

399
00:23:57,068 --> 00:23:59,468
- Then you won't help me?
- No. Out. Shove in your clutch.

400
00:23:59,538 --> 00:24:01,870
"Shove in your clutch."
Exactly the kind of thing I want.

401
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:04,408
Perhaps if I could come back here again
when you have more time...

402
00:24:04,476 --> 00:24:06,740
Save the gas. I won't be here after tonight.

403
00:24:06,812 --> 00:24:09,337
Well, look,
here's the address of the Foundation

404
00:24:09,414 --> 00:24:11,507
if you should happen
to change your mind by any chance.

405
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:13,710
- It's my residence, as well.
- Listen, not now.

406
00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:17,346
- Well, I'll just leave it here.
- Okay, scrow, scram, scraw.

407
00:24:17,422 --> 00:24:20,516
The complete conjugation.
All right, I'll scraw.

408
00:24:22,527 --> 00:24:24,586
Stop futzing around.
You haven't got time to get dressed.

409
00:24:24,663 --> 00:24:26,187
- All right. Only I...
- PASTRAMl: We'll go out the window.

410
00:24:26,264 --> 00:24:27,925
I think you're a pair of cracked dice.

411
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:32,933
- Excuse me.
- Look out, mister.

412
00:24:38,276 --> 00:24:39,641
Good night.

413
00:24:40,812 --> 00:24:43,110
- Miss O'Shea.
- What do you want?

414
00:24:44,349 --> 00:24:45,782
Right there.

415
00:24:52,591 --> 00:24:55,116
Open up. District Attorney's office.

416
00:25:07,472 --> 00:25:09,997
- Where to?
- Just keep cruising, Jack.

417
00:25:11,076 --> 00:25:14,273
- Well?
- How about that warehouse on West 11th?

418
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:15,779
- No. Too many rats.
- Hey, wait a minute.

419
00:25:15,847 --> 00:25:18,077
- Where are you taking me?
- It's just for the night, Sugarpuss.

420
00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:20,140
We can't take you to your place,
they'll have it covered.

421
00:25:20,218 --> 00:25:22,482
Joe's apartment,
they got sealed up like a can of coffee.

422
00:25:22,554 --> 00:25:25,114
Oh, I see.
Yeah, but you live someplace, don't you?

423
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,589
Yeah, sure and the cops know where.

424
00:25:26,658 --> 00:25:30,059
Yeah, hotel, I thought of a hotel,
but they'll fan every hotel in town.

425
00:25:30,128 --> 00:25:31,425
Well, I could change my name.

426
00:25:31,496 --> 00:25:34,988
Listen, Sugie, why take chances?
It's an awful nice warehouse.

427
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:38,399
He says rats, big mouth does.
Well, maybe a few little bitty mice.

428
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:39,459
Uh-uh. That's out.

429
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:42,598
Tomorrow we'll get hold of a lawyer
and figure out something with more class.

430
00:25:42,674 --> 00:25:44,505
Say, I got an uncle who's an undertaker

431
00:25:44,576 --> 00:25:46,806
and with business like it is,
he's always got an extra slab.

432
00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:49,870
That's fine. That's all I need.
Keep thinking.

433
00:25:50,982 --> 00:25:52,711
Hey, what's this?

434
00:25:52,784 --> 00:25:55,378
"Bertram Potts..."
Oh, that's that professor jerk.

435
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:00,980
Uh-oh.

436
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:08,389
I never would have believed it.

437
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:10,263
But how do you account for the name?

438
00:26:10,335 --> 00:26:11,825
Have I missed anything?

439
00:26:11,903 --> 00:26:13,768
No, I was just about to explain...

440
00:26:13,838 --> 00:26:16,272
- You see, the word "puss" means face.
- Yes.

441
00:26:16,341 --> 00:26:18,935
As for instance, sourpuss, picklepuss.

442
00:26:19,711 --> 00:26:22,373
Sugarpuss implies
a certain sweetness in her appearance.

443
00:26:22,447 --> 00:26:23,436
- Sugar, yes, yes.
- Yes.

444
00:26:23,515 --> 00:26:25,073
Never mind the etymology.

445
00:26:25,150 --> 00:26:26,742
- Was she...
- Was she blonde or brunette?

446
00:26:26,818 --> 00:26:29,616
- Yes, which?
- That, I don't know. I didn't notice.

447
00:26:30,055 --> 00:26:32,080
But her vocabulary,
even in ordinary conversation...

448
00:26:32,157 --> 00:26:33,988
You spoke to her?

449
00:26:34,059 --> 00:26:35,856
- Yes, in her dressing room...
- In her dressing room?

450
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:37,758
- Backstage?
- Yes.

451
00:26:37,829 --> 00:26:41,492
Unfortunately,
she disclaimed any interest in our project

452
00:26:43,134 --> 00:26:46,001
in words so bizarre
they made my mouth water.

453
00:26:46,071 --> 00:26:48,938
- "Shove in your clutch," for instance.
- Why, it's amazing.

454
00:26:49,007 --> 00:26:51,032
Potts, could you tell us
what was it like backstage?

455
00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:52,872
Very vivacious, I imagine.

456
00:26:52,944 --> 00:26:57,438
And perhaps, ballerinas giggling
up and down iron staircases.

457
00:26:57,515 --> 00:26:59,073
Around and around.

458
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:01,778
- Possibly wearing tights.
- Tights.

459
00:27:01,853 --> 00:27:04,947
And that ineffable smell of rice powder.

460
00:27:05,023 --> 00:27:06,684
On nude shoulders.

461
00:27:08,426 --> 00:27:09,552
Well.

462
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:12,494
It's getting a bit late, gentlemen.

463
00:27:12,564 --> 00:27:14,759
Perhaps we had better get to bed.

464
00:27:23,341 --> 00:27:25,309
Someday, I'll tell you my experiences

465
00:27:25,377 --> 00:27:27,242
with a young actress
named Lillian Russell.

466
00:27:27,312 --> 00:27:28,336
Did you know her?

467
00:27:28,413 --> 00:27:30,347
I stood in the snow four hours to get to...

468
00:27:30,415 --> 00:27:31,439
(DOORBELL RINGING)

469
00:27:31,516 --> 00:27:33,416
Is that our doorbell?

470
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:34,952
But it's 12:25.

471
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:38,319
It must be the statistics
on San Salvador's saltpeter.

472
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:39,646
I'll get it.

473
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:42,784
I asked for it to be sent registered airmail.

474
00:27:46,164 --> 00:27:47,426
Hi-de-ho.

475
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,898
Don't tell me I'm too late for class,
Professor.

476
00:27:50,969 --> 00:27:51,958
Oh, my goodness gracious.

477
00:27:53,271 --> 00:27:54,863
Say, what is that?

478
00:27:56,107 --> 00:27:58,302
- Those are my colleagues.
- Oh.

479
00:27:59,077 --> 00:28:02,513
- I apologize for their lack of costume.
- Oh, that's all right, Professor.

480
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:04,343
And the fact
that I haven't got my tie on and...

481
00:28:04,416 --> 00:28:07,647
Oh, you know,
once I watched my big brother shave.

482
00:28:09,454 --> 00:28:11,581
- Won't you come in?
- Why not?

483
00:28:12,624 --> 00:28:15,684
Frankly, your coming here
was the last thing I expected.

484
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,022
Your "no" was so explicit.

485
00:28:17,095 --> 00:28:18,585
Well, I got thinking it over

486
00:28:18,663 --> 00:28:21,257
and "Foo," I said to myself,
"Who am I to give science the brush?"

487
00:28:21,332 --> 00:28:24,859
- Then I take it you've reconsidered?
- Yeah, that's the big idea.

488
00:28:24,936 --> 00:28:26,062
Well.

489
00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:28,600
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

490
00:28:29,507 --> 00:28:30,769
Look out.

491
00:28:32,010 --> 00:28:35,639
- Well, that was Professor Oddly.
- Any more of them around?

492
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:37,113
I hope not.

493
00:28:37,849 --> 00:28:40,044
Say, who decorated this place?

494
00:28:41,453 --> 00:28:43,080
- The mug that shot Lincoln?
- This is our work room.

495
00:28:43,688 --> 00:28:45,849
The living quarters are upstairs.

496
00:28:45,924 --> 00:28:48,950
That's a lot of books. All of them different?

497
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,049
- I trust.
- Uh-huh.

498
00:28:50,161 --> 00:28:52,686
- May I have your coat?
- Yeah, thanks.

499
00:28:54,199 --> 00:28:55,598
Miss O'Shea.

500
00:28:57,602 --> 00:29:01,732
Greek philosophy,
I've got a set like this with a radio inside.

501
00:29:02,173 --> 00:29:04,266
Are you sure you don't want your coat?

502
00:29:04,342 --> 00:29:07,368
No, I'm fine.
Except I've got a run in this stocking.

503
00:29:07,445 --> 00:29:08,969
Well, how do we start, Professor?

504
00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:12,175
You see, this is the first time
anybody moved in on my brain.

505
00:29:12,250 --> 00:29:14,514
Have you got some kind of a machine,

506
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:17,714
an X-ray or a vacuum cleaner maybe
that sorts out the words you want?

507
00:29:17,789 --> 00:29:19,347
What's your method, Professor?

508
00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:22,723
Well, it's quite simple. If you will be here
tomorrow morning not later than 9:30...

509
00:29:22,794 --> 00:29:23,783
Tomorrow morning?

510
00:29:23,862 --> 00:29:26,592
Why, yes.
I have arranged a round table discussion

511
00:29:26,664 --> 00:29:29,462
with a few people of various backgrounds.

512
00:29:29,534 --> 00:29:30,660
Uh-huh.

513
00:29:30,735 --> 00:29:34,535
You don't think we could sort of
begin the Beguine right now?

514
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:36,699
Well, it's nearly 1:00, Miss O'Shea.

515
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,868
Oh, foo, Professor,
let's get ourselves a couple of drinks,

516
00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:41,673
light the fire maybe, and you can start
working on me right away.

517
00:29:41,746 --> 00:29:45,011
I wouldn't think of imposing upon you
at this hour.

518
00:29:45,083 --> 00:29:47,950
Listen, I figured on working all night.

519
00:29:48,019 --> 00:29:51,614
Well, any hasty random discussion
would be of no scientific value.

520
00:29:51,689 --> 00:29:53,623
You see, I have to have my notes
thoroughly prepared

521
00:29:53,691 --> 00:29:55,716
- for the seminar tomorrow.
- Mmm-hmm.

522
00:29:56,361 --> 00:29:58,295
Okay. Where do I sleep?

523
00:29:59,030 --> 00:30:00,759
I don't know. Where do you live?

524
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:02,561
Up on Riverside.
But I'm going to sleep here.

525
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:03,828
Here?

526
00:30:03,902 --> 00:30:05,836
You don't understand, Miss O'Shea.

527
00:30:05,904 --> 00:30:09,806
We're all bachelors with the exception
of Professor Oddly, who is a widower.

528
00:30:09,874 --> 00:30:11,637
Why, no woman ever...

529
00:30:12,210 --> 00:30:14,303
Even Miss Bragg who takes care
of our needs

530
00:30:14,379 --> 00:30:16,711
goes home every night at 7:30.

531
00:30:16,781 --> 00:30:19,272
If you want me
tomorrow morning at 9:30, you...

532
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:21,250
Oh, I do, Miss O'Shea.

533
00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:27,047
Even the most free-thinking people
must respect the...

534
00:30:28,193 --> 00:30:29,990
All right, feel that.

535
00:30:30,528 --> 00:30:32,393
Go on. Feel that foot.

536
00:30:33,932 --> 00:30:36,423
Okay, tootsie bell, what do you say?

537
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:38,992
- It's cold.
- It's cold and it's wet.

538
00:30:40,638 --> 00:30:42,196
Now, come here.

539
00:30:44,309 --> 00:30:45,640
Come here.

540
00:30:48,246 --> 00:30:49,474
Closer.

541
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,309
Closer.

542
00:30:53,117 --> 00:30:55,085
Come on, give.

543
00:30:55,153 --> 00:30:57,747
Hello, kids. Look down my throat.

544
00:30:57,822 --> 00:30:59,414
Go on. Look down.

545
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:01,390
All right, right down there, look.

546
00:31:01,459 --> 00:31:03,620
I don't know what to look for.

547
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:07,722
There is possibly a slight rosiness
in the laryngeal region.

548
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:09,289
Slight rosiness?

549
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:11,767
It's as red as the <i>Daily Worker</i>
and just as sore.

550
00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:13,360
- Who are you?
- I'm...

551
00:31:13,438 --> 00:31:14,598
Who is he?

552
00:31:14,672 --> 00:31:18,108
This is Dr. Magenbruch,
our physiological expert.

553
00:31:18,176 --> 00:31:20,007
This is Professor Robinson, law.

554
00:31:20,078 --> 00:31:23,912
- Professor Gurkakoff...
- Not so fast. Just let it creep up on me.

555
00:31:23,982 --> 00:31:25,381
I'll get to know them.

556
00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:28,681
Come here, physiology.
For all I know, I've got a fever. Feel.

557
00:31:28,753 --> 00:31:30,015
- It's possible.
- Certainly.

558
00:31:30,088 --> 00:31:32,488
And he wants to throw me out on my tin.

559
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:35,321
There'll be no 9:30 for me
if you let me go out in the rain now.

560
00:31:35,393 --> 00:31:36,417
Naturally not.

561
00:31:36,494 --> 00:31:38,894
With the streets cold
and the subway hot and full of germs.

562
00:31:38,963 --> 00:31:41,397
I'm a push-over for streptococcus.

563
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,494
- Can I have this now, kid?
- Pardon me.

564
00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:48,669
We'll call you a heated taxi and furnish you
with woolen socks and warm slippers.

565
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:51,174
- How do you like that?
- Really, I don't understand you, Potts.

566
00:31:51,242 --> 00:31:53,574
- Why take chances?
- With valuable material?

567
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:56,546
- You must think of your article, Potts.
- See, they get the point.

568
00:31:56,614 --> 00:31:58,741
If I might venture a suggestion,

569
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:00,579
why couldn't the young lady
sleep in my room?

570
00:32:00,652 --> 00:32:01,846
- What?
- What?

571
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,047
- Well!
- Professor Peagram!

572
00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:06,756
I can bunk in with Professor Robinson.

573
00:32:06,824 --> 00:32:08,655
I sometimes do
when there's an electric storm.

574
00:32:08,726 --> 00:32:10,523
Yes, he's afraid of thunder.

575
00:32:10,595 --> 00:32:12,927
Well, then it's all settled.

576
00:32:12,997 --> 00:32:16,262
Well, I guess I'll turn in.
Can I have my coat?

577
00:32:16,334 --> 00:32:18,928
- Of course.
- Thank you.

578
00:32:19,003 --> 00:32:21,062
- Hi-de-ho, fellows.
- Hi-de-ho.

579
00:32:21,906 --> 00:32:24,704
- I'll show you to my room.
- Yes, we all will go.

580
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:26,141
I know where my own room is, thank you,

581
00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:28,303
- without any help from you.
- Why shouldn't... Why shouldn't...

582
00:32:28,379 --> 00:32:31,041
I'll find it. Don't bother.
Just rough out the directions.

583
00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:33,743
Top of the stairs
and the third door on the left.

584
00:32:33,818 --> 00:32:35,683
Gentlemen, just a moment, please.

585
00:32:35,753 --> 00:32:37,277
Gentlemen, this is all highly irregular.

586
00:32:37,355 --> 00:32:39,482
What if this should come
to the attention of the Foundation?

587
00:32:39,557 --> 00:32:40,922
And what about Miss Bragg tomorrow?

588
00:32:40,992 --> 00:32:43,552
What are you talking about?
This is research, isn't it?

589
00:32:43,628 --> 00:32:44,890
- Yes.
- Certainly.

590
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:47,693
Who was that guy learned so much
from watching an apple drop?

591
00:32:47,765 --> 00:32:51,826
Isaac Newton, 1642 to 1727.

592
00:32:51,903 --> 00:32:54,565
- The law of gravity.
- Yeah, that's him.

593
00:32:55,139 --> 00:32:59,235
And I want you to look at me
as another apple, Professor Potts.

594
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:01,039
Just another apple.

595
00:33:09,887 --> 00:33:11,752
It fits you like a glove,
you admit that, don't you?

596
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:15,122
I like a little more effect around
the shoulders, sort of a puffed sleeve.

597
00:33:15,193 --> 00:33:18,754
- You know that JL could be Joe Lilac.
- Could be.

598
00:33:19,297 --> 00:33:22,391
- Still claim it isn't yours?
- No, it isn't and never was.

599
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:25,493
Come on, loosen up, Joe.
It's 5:00 in the morning.

600
00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:27,902
How's about a little Benzedrine?

601
00:33:27,972 --> 00:33:30,065
- Put it on Benny the Creep.
- Sure.

602
00:33:30,141 --> 00:33:31,472
Take off your coat.

603
00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:34,943
I should have brought along my valet.
I'm a sucker for comfort.

604
00:33:35,013 --> 00:33:37,675
Why, don't worry, Joe.
You'll have your comfort.

605
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:42,152
We'll have platinum bars on your cell,
and we'll heat up a chair for you, special.

606
00:33:42,253 --> 00:33:43,777
Twenty thousand volts.

607
00:33:45,256 --> 00:33:46,518
AC or DC?

608
00:33:50,261 --> 00:33:52,786
- So those are your pajamas, huh?
- Yep.

609
00:33:53,631 --> 00:33:56,191
You always wear them
three sizes too big?

610
00:33:56,267 --> 00:34:00,533
Allows for my chest expansion.
And my fingers get kind of chilly at night.

611
00:34:00,605 --> 00:34:02,539
And the JL?

612
00:34:03,775 --> 00:34:06,869
It stands for jellybean.
It stands for lollipop.

613
00:34:08,179 --> 00:34:10,010
- Take him away.
- Come on.

614
00:34:10,081 --> 00:34:12,208
That's fine. That's great.

615
00:34:13,484 --> 00:34:16,647
You never heard of Benny the Creep.
Benny the Creep never heard of you.

616
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:18,985
There was no murder.
And there is no murder ring

617
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:22,288
with you at the control boards
pushing the buttons.

618
00:34:22,827 --> 00:34:24,556
- Good morning, Joe.
- Hiya, McNeary?

619
00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:26,790
Morning, and pardon my glove,
Mr. District Attorney.

620
00:34:26,864 --> 00:34:28,491
Good morning.

621
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:33,003
- All right, I've got a writ of habeas corpus.
- I've forgotten my reading glasses.

622
00:34:33,071 --> 00:34:35,232
Too bad. Come on, Joe.

623
00:34:35,306 --> 00:34:37,297
May be a couple of days
before I find them.

624
00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:40,503
- I won't stand for my client's...
- It's all right, McNeary.

625
00:34:40,578 --> 00:34:42,546
The man's trying to clean up the city.

626
00:34:42,613 --> 00:34:44,808
Why not give him
all the cooperation we can?

627
00:34:44,882 --> 00:34:48,340
- Does that mean you're going to talk, Joe?
- What about?

628
00:34:49,187 --> 00:34:51,712
Well, I'll make the pajamas talk.

629
00:34:51,789 --> 00:34:53,780
Here's the sales slip for them.

630
00:34:53,858 --> 00:34:56,918
They were bought by Miss O'Shea.
She bought them for you.

631
00:34:56,994 --> 00:35:00,088
Or maybe you never heard of her.
Maybe she isn't your girlfriend.

632
00:35:00,164 --> 00:35:04,362
- Why bring a lady's name into this?
- I'll bring the lady in herself.

633
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:09,371
Where do we stand with that O'Shea girl?
What?

634
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,839
What about the deputies?

635
00:35:10,908 --> 00:35:12,535
All right, let me talk to Collins himself.

636
00:35:12,610 --> 00:35:14,134
- What about the girl?
- Don't worry.

637
00:35:14,212 --> 00:35:16,578
We've got her in safe deposit temporarily.

638
00:35:16,647 --> 00:35:19,810
- Temporarily is not good enough.
- I've got something figured out.

639
00:35:19,884 --> 00:35:21,977
- Nothing gloomy, I hope.
- Strictly legal.

640
00:35:22,053 --> 00:35:23,577
A wife can't testify against her husband.

641
00:35:23,654 --> 00:35:25,349
- She's not my wife.
- Not yet, she isn't.

642
00:35:25,423 --> 00:35:27,653
But once they let you go,
we'll pull a fastie.

643
00:35:27,725 --> 00:35:29,056
Of all the incompetent...

644
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:30,856
What sweetheart dreamed up that law?

645
00:35:30,928 --> 00:35:34,989
Don't give me that. You've had six hours.
Tell those guys to get a jump on.

646
00:35:37,768 --> 00:35:39,360
Having some trouble, Mr. DA?

647
00:35:39,437 --> 00:35:40,768
Don't worry, Joe.

648
00:35:40,838 --> 00:35:43,807
And don't underestimate this office
or the State of New York.

649
00:35:43,875 --> 00:35:46,935
I've got some boys
that can find a needle in a haystack.

650
00:35:47,011 --> 00:35:48,205
Why, that's a cinch.

651
00:35:48,279 --> 00:35:52,579
All you have to do is get a horse
to eat the hay and then X-ray the horse.

652
00:35:53,885 --> 00:35:54,510
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

653
00:35:59,957 --> 00:36:01,720
Okay. Okay.

654
00:36:03,261 --> 00:36:04,888
Hold your horses.

655
00:36:07,765 --> 00:36:10,029
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

656
00:36:10,134 --> 00:36:12,967
What time is it?
This is worse than being in the army.

657
00:36:13,037 --> 00:36:16,006
Professor Potts started
the round table discussion 10 minutes ago.

658
00:36:16,073 --> 00:36:18,439
He did? Say, that's divastigating.

659
00:36:18,509 --> 00:36:21,205
- And this came for you.
- Who brought it?

660
00:36:21,712 --> 00:36:24,180
- A couple of persons.
- Any message?

661
00:36:24,248 --> 00:36:27,308
- Well, they spoke very picturesquely.
- Yeah, very.

662
00:36:27,385 --> 00:36:30,479
Yes, they said it's getting hot and hotter

663
00:36:30,555 --> 00:36:33,353
and to stay in the icebox
like a good little salad.

664
00:36:33,424 --> 00:36:35,688
And this is the dressing.

665
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,285
- The salad, huh?
- And we wondered what it meant.

666
00:36:38,362 --> 00:36:39,386
Yes, we did.

667
00:36:39,463 --> 00:36:41,260
I'll tell you, sweetie. I...

668
00:36:41,332 --> 00:36:42,697
Gentlemen. Gentlemen.

669
00:36:42,767 --> 00:36:44,394
- Miss Bragg.
- Oh, my goodness.

670
00:36:44,468 --> 00:36:46,766
Sounds like Mother calling.
Kids, you better go.

671
00:36:46,837 --> 00:36:48,771
See you later.

672
00:36:48,839 --> 00:36:52,832
- Gentlemen, where are you, gentlemen?
- We're coming, Miss Bragg, we're coming.

673
00:36:52,910 --> 00:36:55,378
- On our way.
- I would like to talk to you.

674
00:36:55,446 --> 00:36:56,435
I wanted to ask you,

675
00:36:56,514 --> 00:36:58,482
what were all your trousers
doing in my kitchen?

676
00:36:58,549 --> 00:37:00,847
- I wanted mine pressed.
- Well, that accounts for one pair.

677
00:37:00,918 --> 00:37:02,715
- I did, too.
- Mine, too.

678
00:37:02,787 --> 00:37:04,652
Seven pairs, all at once?

679
00:37:04,722 --> 00:37:06,781
What's going on in this house anyway?

680
00:37:06,857 --> 00:37:09,849
No constitutional this morning.
You've hardly touched your breakfast.

681
00:37:09,927 --> 00:37:13,260
Professor Potts in the dining room with
a conglomeration of dubious characters.

682
00:37:13,331 --> 00:37:14,457
You, not at your desks.

683
00:37:14,532 --> 00:37:18,059
- That's right, gentlemen, we have to work.
- Yes, we have to work.

684
00:37:18,135 --> 00:37:23,038
- What were you doing upstairs, anyway?
- We took up a suitcase.

685
00:37:23,107 --> 00:37:24,836
- Suitcase?
- Yes.

686
00:37:24,909 --> 00:37:27,173
- Whose suitcase?
- We're very busy, Miss Bragg.

687
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:28,439
I said, whose suitcase?

688
00:37:28,512 --> 00:37:31,845
Well, now, Miss Bragg, there is...

689
00:37:33,584 --> 00:37:36,018
- There is someone staying with us.
- Staying with us?

690
00:37:36,087 --> 00:37:38,920
- That's it.
- Who?

691
00:37:38,990 --> 00:37:40,389
Who's staying with us?

692
00:37:40,458 --> 00:37:42,653
What's the matter? Cat got your tongues?

693
00:37:42,727 --> 00:37:44,854
- Who's staying with us?
- (VOICE CRACKING) Well, I...

694
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:48,365
- Well, I... Oh, dear.
- Professor Potts didn't tell you?

695
00:37:48,432 --> 00:37:50,764
- No, and I want to know.
- Well, under the pressure

696
00:37:50,835 --> 00:37:53,030
- of a very trying assignment...
- Yes?

697
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:55,368
- He's...
- Go on.

698
00:37:55,439 --> 00:37:58,067
- He's taken a temporary assistant.
- Yes.

699
00:37:58,142 --> 00:38:01,043
- So we're running a hotel now.
- Not exactly.

700
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:04,240
It seems to me that... Professor Robinson,

701
00:38:04,315 --> 00:38:07,648
- is that one of your socks?
- No, not mine.

702
00:38:08,452 --> 00:38:10,079
I wish that it...

703
00:38:11,722 --> 00:38:15,021
Well, I know Professor Peagram
explains the corset he wears

704
00:38:15,092 --> 00:38:16,491
as due to a floating kidney.

705
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:17,959
What's the explanation of this?

706
00:38:18,029 --> 00:38:22,329
Say, kids, I'm stuck.
Any of you can jerk a zipper?

707
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,628
A zipper?

708
00:38:23,701 --> 00:38:26,067
Yeah, the darn thing's stuck...

709
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:27,866
Hello, who are you?

710
00:38:27,938 --> 00:38:31,465
- This is our Miss Bragg.
- Miss... Did you say Bag?

711
00:38:31,542 --> 00:38:33,100
Bragg. How do you do?

712
00:38:33,177 --> 00:38:35,111
Great-o.
Do you know anything about zippers?

713
00:38:35,179 --> 00:38:36,578
- Do you? Do you?
- Well, I...

714
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:37,944
- Well, do you?
- Do I?

715
00:38:38,015 --> 00:38:41,416
- No, I don't, but Professor Gurkakoff.
- Okay.

716
00:38:41,485 --> 00:38:44,511
- Well, it's purely mechanical.
- But look, you were married.

717
00:38:44,588 --> 00:38:45,782
No, I'm just a botanist.

718
00:38:45,856 --> 00:38:48,188
Look, kids, after all,
you know, this is only a zipper.

719
00:38:48,259 --> 00:38:50,489
- Come on, Gurky.
- Well, I can try.

720
00:38:50,561 --> 00:38:52,825
You know, I had this happen one night
in the middle of my act.

721
00:38:52,897 --> 00:38:55,730
I couldn't get a thing off,
was I embarrassed.

722
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,199
How's chances for a cup of coffee?

723
00:38:57,268 --> 00:39:00,260
- No breakfast after 9:00.
- You see, it's a rule.

724
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:03,432
Just like my Aunt Beulah that
brought me up, that's why I left home.

725
00:39:03,507 --> 00:39:04,496
- There.
- Oh, swell.

726
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:06,338
Now where is this little clambake
of Professor Potts'?

727
00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:09,811
- In the dining room, just across the hall.
- In the dining room. See you later, kids.

728
00:39:14,685 --> 00:39:17,848
Don't tell me the jive session
has beat off without baby.

729
00:39:17,922 --> 00:39:20,390
Shut the door please, Miss O'Shea.

730
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:24,918
You're late.

731
00:39:24,995 --> 00:39:27,190
I won't waste time with introductions.
These are our collaborators.

732
00:39:27,264 --> 00:39:28,788
- Hi, kids.
- Hi.

733
00:39:28,866 --> 00:39:31,391
As I was saying, I've worked out
a series of cross-references

734
00:39:31,469 --> 00:39:33,562
which I believe will be the best approach
to our subject.

735
00:39:33,637 --> 00:39:35,070
Going like gangbusters, isn't he?

736
00:39:35,139 --> 00:39:36,800
Sit down, please.

737
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:43,341
I don't think
you'll find our venture dull, Miss O'Shea.

738
00:39:43,414 --> 00:39:47,248
The scientific conquest of
an important subject is never dull.

739
00:39:48,018 --> 00:39:50,680
"Slang," as the poet
Carl Sandburg has said,

740
00:39:50,755 --> 00:39:52,416
"is language which takes off its coat,

741
00:39:52,490 --> 00:39:54,651
"spits on its hands and goes to work."

742
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:57,626
Let us... Let us, too,
then get down to work.

743
00:40:04,301 --> 00:40:07,202
Well, we've accomplished a lot
in the last three days,

744
00:40:07,271 --> 00:40:09,796
and I'm very grateful to all of you.

745
00:40:09,874 --> 00:40:12,365
There's another word
I'd like to take up now.

746
00:40:12,443 --> 00:40:14,502
It's recurred several times
in our discussions,

747
00:40:14,578 --> 00:40:16,569
and its meaning still eludes me.

748
00:40:16,647 --> 00:40:18,239
I think it was Miss O'Shea
who used it yesterday

749
00:40:18,315 --> 00:40:20,943
in reference to the cuffs that I wear.

750
00:40:21,018 --> 00:40:23,748
- The word is "corny."
- Yeah, wouldn't you say they were corny?

751
00:40:23,821 --> 00:40:27,188
- Because of the cornstarch in them?
- Because it's 1941.

752
00:40:27,925 --> 00:40:31,884
- Then corny means old-fashioned.
- Kind of hick, loose-tooth.

753
00:40:31,962 --> 00:40:33,486
Mortimer Snerd.

754
00:40:34,298 --> 00:40:35,856
Oh, gee.

755
00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:38,128
There's other kinds of corn, too.

756
00:40:38,202 --> 00:40:39,863
When you give your girl
your fraternity pin,

757
00:40:39,937 --> 00:40:42,235
well, if she says, "I'll keep it forever,"

758
00:40:42,306 --> 00:40:44,570
- that's corny, too.
- Yeah, or take a joke.

759
00:40:44,642 --> 00:40:46,439
"That's no lady, that's my wife."

760
00:40:46,510 --> 00:40:48,842
Making your baby's shoes into ashtrays.

761
00:40:48,913 --> 00:40:50,278
- That's corn.
- Right off the cob.

762
00:40:50,347 --> 00:40:52,645
Well, let's stick to corn.

763
00:40:52,716 --> 00:40:54,581
Is it synonymous with baloney?

764
00:40:54,652 --> 00:40:57,746
No, it's anything
that gets them in the sticks.

765
00:40:57,822 --> 00:41:00,416
"Long time, no see," that's Indian corn.

766
00:41:00,491 --> 00:41:02,049
Yeah, when a guy comes to see a girl
and says,

767
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:03,957
"Let's turn off the lights,
it hurts my eyes."

768
00:41:04,028 --> 00:41:05,723
Brother, that's corn.

769
00:41:05,796 --> 00:41:08,856
The implication is
he's trying to pull some hoytoytoy.

770
00:41:08,933 --> 00:41:12,892
- You're catching on, Professor.
- Countrified, old-fashioned, sentimental.

771
00:41:25,916 --> 00:41:27,406
Business kind of peaked, Jack?

772
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:30,386
Yeah, it takes up a lot of time
being on the faculty.

773
00:41:30,454 --> 00:41:32,422
- I'll buy the heap.
- There's no call for you to do that.

774
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:34,321
Why not?
I want to line my bureau drawers.

775
00:41:34,391 --> 00:41:35,517
Gee, thanks.

776
00:41:36,293 --> 00:41:39,524
- Back in a second, Professor.
- Oh, yes, all right.

777
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:55,672
- Miss O'Shea.
- Just a minute.

778
00:41:59,950 --> 00:42:01,076
- Miss O'Shea.
- Yeah?

779
00:42:01,151 --> 00:42:03,016
We saw you pass the library arch,

780
00:42:03,087 --> 00:42:05,385
and we kind of got a little problem
on our hands.

781
00:42:05,456 --> 00:42:06,889
- Would you help us?
- Why, I'd love to.

782
00:42:06,957 --> 00:42:07,981
Oh, good.

783
00:42:08,792 --> 00:42:10,760
You're kind of spruced up today,
aren't you, Professor?

784
00:42:10,828 --> 00:42:12,455
- The spats?
- Yeah.

785
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:16,159
I ran across them in my bottom drawer.
Why let the moths eat them?

786
00:42:16,233 --> 00:42:18,292
Attaboy. What's your problem, sweetie?

787
00:42:18,369 --> 00:42:20,234
- Well, look.
- Let me start again.

788
00:42:20,437 --> 00:42:22,462
ODDLY: But, Professor,
I'm completely exhausted.

789
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:25,737
But we've got to get it right.
Now, start with the right foot.

790
00:42:25,809 --> 00:42:27,470
- The left foot.
- The right foot.

791
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:28,603
Gentlemen, it's the left foot.

792
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:30,738
- Which foot, please?
- The right foot.

793
00:42:30,814 --> 00:42:32,907
All right, but you're wrong.

794
00:42:33,417 --> 00:42:35,612
One, two, three, four.

795
00:42:35,686 --> 00:42:38,086
One, two, three.

796
00:42:38,155 --> 00:42:40,623
But I can't "humph" from here.

797
00:42:41,825 --> 00:42:44,988
We've been working on it
ever since luncheon.

798
00:42:45,062 --> 00:42:46,188
Holy smoke.

799
00:42:46,263 --> 00:42:49,858
- Start again with the left foot, come on.
- The left foot.

800
00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:54,503
One, two, three.

801
00:42:55,639 --> 00:42:57,334
Well, it's the right motion.

802
00:42:57,408 --> 00:43:00,775
- But it doesn't feel right.
- It doesn't look right.

803
00:43:01,312 --> 00:43:03,109
Possibly it isn't right.

804
00:43:03,180 --> 00:43:05,512
There was two "humphs." Humph, humph.

805
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:08,017
Well, that would make it right.
Humph, humph.

806
00:43:08,852 --> 00:43:10,114
You're wrong, my dear Gurkakoff.

807
00:43:10,187 --> 00:43:12,815
Mathematics can never be wrong.
Look here, I'll show you.

808
00:43:12,890 --> 00:43:15,120
- Stay there, Professor Oddly.
- Show him.

809
00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:18,293
One, two.

810

Professor Oddly, please stand up.

811
00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:21,458
I beg your pardon.

812
00:43:21,532 --> 00:43:25,093
- One, two, three. Humph, humph.
- Just one.

813
00:43:26,170 --> 00:43:28,934
- The expert is here. We need you.
- What's the trouble?

814
00:43:29,006 --> 00:43:30,837
Well, that dance you showed us last night.

815
00:43:30,908 --> 00:43:32,637
- Yeah?
- Yes, maybe we're not very bright.

Professor Gurkakoff has been trying
to reconstruct it by compound fractions.

- You'd better relax, lover.
- Who, me? Thank you.

818
00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:42,942
I can't find the common denominator
between the steps and the music.

Probably to tell you
to take the price tag off.

00:47:59,409 --> 00:48:01,843
Yeah, but it took the DA
to make him pop the question.

914
00:48:01,912 --> 00:48:03,038
He sent you a love message.

915
00:48:03,113 --> 00:48:06,139
He says to tell you he gets more bang
out of you than any dame he ever knew.

916
00:48:06,216 --> 00:48:09,413
And he's the top, Sugie,
do you realize that? He's the top.

917
00:48:09,519 --> 00:48:10,986
Mrs. Joe Lilac.

918
00:48:11,054 --> 00:48:13,716
Third Avenue girl
in the major league at last.

919
00:48:13,790 --> 00:48:16,088
Wait till they find out,
those other dolls in the show.

920
00:48:16,159 --> 00:48:18,252
Watch me break their crockery with this.

921
00:48:18,328 --> 00:48:19,920
Here, here,
the wedding's got to be a fast one, though.

922
00:48:19,997 --> 00:48:21,259
Over in New Jersey someplace.

923
00:48:21,331 --> 00:48:23,765
Now, this is the application for the license,
and you sign right here.

924
00:48:23,834 --> 00:48:25,495
- Will I? You got a pen?
- Yeah.

925
00:48:25,569 --> 00:48:27,799
- Unscrew it for Mrs. Lilac.
- Right here, right here.

926
00:48:27,871 --> 00:48:28,963
You know, I can't make up my mind.

927
00:48:29,039 --> 00:48:33,373
Will I continue my night club career
or bust in on the Helen Hayes racket?

928
00:48:33,443 --> 00:48:35,206
Say, this ought to be signed
before a notary public.

929
00:48:35,279 --> 00:48:37,975
I'm a notary public,
permission expires 1943.

930
00:48:38,048 --> 00:48:39,777
Were those pajamas a good investment.

931
00:48:39,850 --> 00:48:41,875
You'll get the final dope
by tomorrow morning.

932
00:48:41,952 --> 00:48:43,044
Joe will phone around 10:00.

933
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,554
Now, meantime lie low
and stick close to the Ameche.

934
00:48:45,622 --> 00:48:47,920
- Okay, the what?
- The telephone.

935
00:48:52,396 --> 00:48:55,229
- Miss Sugarpuss.
- You'd better duck.

936
00:48:55,299 --> 00:48:57,392
- Okay, 10:00, I'll be waiting.
- Okay, okay.

937
00:48:57,467 --> 00:48:59,435
- Miss Sugarpuss.
- Here I am.

938
00:48:59,503 --> 00:49:01,403
Just getting a little air.

939
00:49:01,471 --> 00:49:04,031
- Miss O'Shea.
- What's buzzing, cousin?

940
00:49:04,107 --> 00:49:06,507
Professor Potts would...

941
00:49:06,576 --> 00:49:09,443
He wishes to speak to you.

942
00:49:09,813 --> 00:49:11,075
- Yes.
- Yes.

943
00:49:11,148 --> 00:49:13,378
Don't worry, kids, cheer up.

944
00:49:13,450 --> 00:49:14,439
(CLICKING TONGUE)

945
00:49:14,918 --> 00:49:17,148
- Shut the door, please.
- Sure.

946
00:49:21,224 --> 00:49:24,682
- Take this chair, please, Miss O'Shea.
- This particular one?

947
00:49:24,761 --> 00:49:25,887
Okay.

948
00:49:29,032 --> 00:49:31,000
- Open your mouth, please.
- Hmm?

949
00:49:31,068 --> 00:49:33,536
Open your mouth. Wider.

950
00:49:34,671 --> 00:49:35,695
Thank you.

951
00:49:35,772 --> 00:49:37,330
- Can I close it now?
- Please do.

952
00:49:37,407 --> 00:49:38,704
- Okay.
- Miss O'Shea.

953
00:49:38,775 --> 00:49:39,799
Yeah?

954
00:49:39,876 --> 00:49:43,243
Circumstances, under, over which
neither of us has the least control,

955
00:49:43,313 --> 00:49:46,373
force me to a step
I am most reluctant to take.

956
00:49:47,684 --> 00:49:50,676
The sky is perfectly clear.
The thermometer stands at 76.

957
00:49:50,754 --> 00:49:53,848
Your throat seems quite normal.
I must ask you to leave.

958
00:49:53,924 --> 00:49:55,983
Leave here? Why?

959
00:49:56,059 --> 00:49:58,892
Miss O'Shea,
I want you to look at our project,

960
00:49:58,962 --> 00:50:02,125
I mean the encyclopedia, as a voyage,

961
00:50:02,199 --> 00:50:04,667
a long, hard, tedious one.

962
00:50:04,735 --> 00:50:06,794
A voyage from "A" to "Z."

963
00:50:06,870 --> 00:50:08,735
Now, when the Foundation
launched our vessel,

964
00:50:08,805 --> 00:50:13,265
it very wisely followed an old rule
of the sea, no women aboard.

965
00:50:13,343 --> 00:50:16,210
It chose a crew of single men
with nothing to distract them

966
00:50:16,279 --> 00:50:17,871
from the course they were to sail.

967
00:50:17,948 --> 00:50:21,145
Say, junior, couldn't stop
walking around a little, could you?

968
00:50:21,218 --> 00:50:24,346
For four days, we have been drifting,
Miss O'Shea.

969
00:50:24,421 --> 00:50:26,753
The needle of the compass
no longer points to the magnetic pole.

970
00:50:26,823 --> 00:50:29,451
It points, if I may say so, to your ankles.

971
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:31,824
Come now, Admiral,
a bunch of grown men,

972
00:50:31,895 --> 00:50:33,886
they've seen a pair of ankles before.

973
00:50:33,964 --> 00:50:35,454
Not for nine years.

974
00:50:35,532 --> 00:50:39,525
Except for the singularly uninspiring
underpinnings of Miss Bragg.

975
00:50:39,603 --> 00:50:41,002
Now, my colleagues...

976
00:50:41,071 --> 00:50:43,301
If you think I'm bothering them,
I'll sit on my legs.

977
00:50:43,373 --> 00:50:45,773
- And I'll do it in my room or in the kitchen.
- Too late.

978
00:50:45,842 --> 00:50:49,073
- You must leave, Miss O'Shea.
- Well, I can't leave now.

979
00:50:49,146 --> 00:50:51,637
How about that slang?
It's not finished yet.

980
00:50:51,715 --> 00:50:53,615
There's a lot of words
we haven't caught up with.

981
00:50:53,683 --> 00:50:56,516
For instance, do you know what this
means, "I'll get you on the Ameche"?

982
00:50:56,586 --> 00:50:57,814
- No.
- Of course, you don't.

983
00:50:57,888 --> 00:50:59,253
An Ameche is the telephone.

984
00:50:59,322 --> 00:51:01,153
- On account of he invented it.
- Oh, no, he didn't.

985
00:51:01,224 --> 00:51:05,854
- You know, in the movies.
- I see what you mean. Very interesting.

986
00:51:05,996 --> 00:51:09,659
Make no mistake, I shall regret
the absence of your keen mind.

987
00:51:09,733 --> 00:51:13,794
Unfortunately, it is inseparable
from an extremely disturbing body.

988
00:51:13,870 --> 00:51:15,098
(WHISTLING)

989
00:51:15,172 --> 00:51:17,470
All right. I'll go, only don't shove.

990
00:51:17,541 --> 00:51:20,237
- I'll leave sometime tomorrow.
- Not tomorrow. Right away.

991
00:51:20,310 --> 00:51:22,437
- But I tell you I've got a...
- I insist, Miss O'Shea.

992
00:51:22,512 --> 00:51:23,945
Oh, Crabapple Annie.

993
00:51:24,014 --> 00:51:25,675
- Listen, Pottsy...
- Crabapple Annie?

994
00:51:25,749 --> 00:51:27,910
Why, that implies
that I'm puritanical and narrow-minded.

995
00:51:27,984 --> 00:51:29,008
Yeah.

996
00:51:29,086 --> 00:51:31,782
I am a perfectly normal man
with perfectly normal instincts.

997
00:51:31,855 --> 00:51:34,323
- But an awful high boiling point.
- Not even that.

998
00:51:34,391 --> 00:51:37,189
I, too, have been acutely aware
of your presence.

999
00:51:37,260 --> 00:51:39,057
- You have?
- Twice, to be exact.

1000
00:51:39,129 --> 00:51:40,460
Once when you leaned over my shoulder

1001
00:51:40,530 --> 00:51:42,464
to correct my spelling of
the word "boogie-woogie,"

1002
00:51:42,532 --> 00:51:44,261
I could feel your breath on my ear.

1003
00:51:44,334 --> 00:51:46,768
And yesterday afternoon when you
happened to stand against the window

1004
00:51:46,837 --> 00:51:49,135
with the sunlight in your hair.

1005
00:51:50,874 --> 00:51:54,037
- What'd you do about it?
- I left the room,

1006
00:51:54,111 --> 00:51:55,703
dipped my handkerchief in cold water

1007
00:51:55,779 --> 00:51:57,679
and applied it to the back of
my neck right there,

1008
00:51:57,747 --> 00:52:00,807
- where the nerve center is.
- That's cute.

1009
00:52:00,884 --> 00:52:03,944
You see, that's the basic difference
between me and the other professors.

1010
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:06,750
We are all beguiled,
but I am relatively young.

1011
00:52:06,823 --> 00:52:08,120
I can suppress temptation.

1012
00:52:08,191 --> 00:52:11,752
I generate enough energy
to take precautionary measures.

1013
00:52:12,963 --> 00:52:16,421
A little sun on my hair
and you had to water your neck.

1014
00:52:18,502 --> 00:52:20,936
Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it,
Miss O'Shea,

1015
00:52:21,004 --> 00:52:22,869
but I'm merely trying to point out the fact

1016
00:52:22,939 --> 00:52:25,772
that the success of our enterprise
is at stake.

1017
00:52:25,842 --> 00:52:27,901
I want you to...

1018
00:52:31,748 --> 00:52:33,272
Cooperate.

1019
00:52:33,350 --> 00:52:35,113
I want you to leave.

1020
00:52:36,219 --> 00:52:38,016
All right, I'll go.

1021
00:52:38,922 --> 00:52:42,153
But if I'm going to go anyway,
I guess I might as well spill it.

1022
00:52:42,225 --> 00:52:44,489
Spill it? Spill what?

1023
00:52:44,561 --> 00:52:46,324
Why do you suppose
I came here in the first place?

1024
00:52:46,396 --> 00:52:47,454
To help with the research.

1025
00:52:47,531 --> 00:52:49,522
- I did not. I came on account of you.
- Me?

1026
00:52:49,599 --> 00:52:51,533
And not on account of
you needed some slang.

1027
00:52:51,601 --> 00:52:53,296
On account of
because I wanted to see you again.

1028
00:52:53,370 --> 00:52:55,964
Miss O'Shea, the construction
"on account of because"

1029
00:52:56,039 --> 00:52:57,734
outrages every grammatical law.

1030
00:52:57,807 --> 00:53:00,605
So what? I came on account of
because I couldn't stop thinking about you

1031
00:53:00,677 --> 00:53:02,440
after you left my dressing room.

1032
00:53:02,512 --> 00:53:07,074
On account of because I thought
you were big and cute and pretty.

1033
00:53:07,150 --> 00:53:08,481
- Pretty?
- Yeah, I mean you.

1034
00:53:08,552 --> 00:53:11,919
Maybe I'm just crazy, but to me,
you're a regular yum-yum type.

1035
00:53:11,988 --> 00:53:13,979
- Yum-yum?
- Yeah, don't you know what that means?

1036
00:53:14,057 --> 00:53:15,115
No, we never got to that.

1037
00:53:15,192 --> 00:53:16,887
Well, we've got to it now,
and I'm glad it's out.

1038
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,689
I don't give a whoop
whether the others went for me.

1039
00:53:18,762 --> 00:53:20,627
You're the one I'm wacky about,
just plain wacky.

1040
00:53:20,697 --> 00:53:22,460
- Can you understand that?
- Please, Miss O'Shea.

1041
00:53:22,532 --> 00:53:24,693
Oh, please, nothing.
Maybe you can generate or whatever it is

1042
00:53:24,768 --> 00:53:27,032
for all that suppress business, but...

1043
00:53:27,103 --> 00:53:29,401
I can't. No, you're too tall.

1044
00:53:32,142 --> 00:53:33,404
- What are you doing?
- You'll find out.

1045
00:53:33,476 --> 00:53:35,068
Those are Professor Gurkakoff's
reference books.

1046
00:53:35,145 --> 00:53:37,204
- Now, isn't that just too bad!
- And they're very...

1047
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:38,872
- That's perfect.
- What are you going to do?

1048
00:53:38,949 --> 00:53:41,713
Come here,
I'm going to show you what yum-yum is.

1049
00:53:41,785 --> 00:53:43,150
Here's yum.

1050
00:53:44,688 --> 00:53:46,519
Here's the other yum.

1051
00:53:48,525 --> 00:53:50,288
And here's yum-yum.

1052
00:53:54,164 --> 00:53:55,495
Excuse me.

1053
00:53:56,233 --> 00:53:57,257
Hey, where are you going?

1054
00:54:08,745 --> 00:54:11,805
Did you see?
He practically stepped on my hand.

1055
00:54:11,881 --> 00:54:13,712
- Three steps at a time.
- Shot out of a gun.

1056
00:54:13,783 --> 00:54:15,444
- But where is he going?
- Why?

1057
00:54:15,518 --> 00:54:19,215
To get a razor strop, I hope,
and I hope he knows where to apply it.

1058
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:28,062
- Well, Professor Potts?
- Yes, Miss Bragg.

1059
00:54:28,131 --> 00:54:31,430
Will one of you call a taxi
from the corner for Miss O'Shea?

1060
00:54:32,102 --> 00:54:34,093
- Right away.
- Thank you.

1061
00:54:40,010 --> 00:54:42,376
- Fine business.
- I beg your pardon?

1062
00:54:42,445 --> 00:54:44,072
What's the idea of
running out on me like that?

1063
00:54:44,147 --> 00:54:46,240
Nothing, nothing.

1064
00:54:46,816 --> 00:54:49,876
The last few minutes
only confirmed my former decision.

1065
00:54:49,953 --> 00:54:51,944
Your further presence here would be fatal.

1066
00:54:52,022 --> 00:54:55,583
You must get me out of your mind
just as I must get you out of this house.

1067
00:54:55,659 --> 00:54:59,026
- Your hair's wet.
- Well, never mind, please.

1068
00:54:59,095 --> 00:55:01,586
- Well, it is wet.
- Well, what of it?

1069
00:55:01,665 --> 00:55:02,893
Nothing, I just happened to mention it.

1070
00:55:02,966 --> 00:55:05,560
- Well, forget it, please.
- Okay, okay.

1071
00:55:06,269 --> 00:55:09,295
Now to get back to the subject
under discussion.

1072
00:55:09,372 --> 00:55:12,739
It would be idle of me to deny that I, too,
feel the affinity

1073
00:55:12,809 --> 00:55:16,176
that you mentioned a few minutes ago,
very strongly.

1074
00:55:16,246 --> 00:55:18,111
After three years,
when my work is finished,

1075
00:55:18,181 --> 00:55:20,979
perhaps we can take up where we left off.

1076
00:55:21,051 --> 00:55:25,988
In the meantime, I hope we can keep up
some sort of correspondence.

1077
00:55:27,223 --> 00:55:31,319
- Would you, Miss Sugarpuss?
- Oh, Pottsy.

1078
00:55:32,629 --> 00:55:35,894
I know that's the way I feel, too,
but it has to be.

1079
00:55:37,434 --> 00:55:41,768
Sugarpuss, before you go, would you...

(POTTS CLEARS THROAT)

1081
00:55:48,511 --> 00:55:49,978
Would you

1082
00:55:51,514 --> 00:55:53,414
yum me just once more?

1083
00:56:00,790 --> 00:56:03,486
- It seems so unnecessary.
- Yes.

1084
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,187
- Yes.
- The taxi's here.

1085
00:56:05,295 --> 00:56:06,785
I'll tell him.

1086
00:56:12,168 --> 00:56:15,660
Professor Potts,
the taxi for that young woman is here.

1087
00:56:17,774 --> 00:56:19,071
The taxi.

1088
00:56:20,611 --> 00:56:22,841
- Yes, what is it?
- The taxi's here.

1089
00:56:22,913 --> 00:56:24,278
Taxi? What taxi?

1090
00:56:25,149 --> 00:56:27,049
Miss O'Shea's or mine.

1091
00:56:28,853 --> 00:56:31,219
It's all yours, Crabapple Annie.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

1093
00:56:53,911 --> 00:56:56,675
What is the delay, young man?
Delivery was promised for 10:00.

1094
00:56:56,747 --> 00:56:58,112
Sign here.

1095
00:56:58,649 --> 00:57:01,516
- I trust that it's engraved correctly.
- I guess so.

1096
00:57:01,585 --> 00:57:03,849
- $39.85, wasn't it?
- Yeah.

1097
00:57:03,921 --> 00:57:06,685
Here's $40. Keep the change.

1098
00:57:11,729 --> 00:57:14,129
- You're sure the setting is solid gold?
- Why, of course.

1099
00:57:14,198 --> 00:57:16,462
There was one $5 cheaper,
but not nearly so handsome.

1100
00:57:16,534 --> 00:57:18,024
- Let's see it, Potts.
- Yes, please.

1101
00:57:18,102 --> 00:57:20,229
No, no, it's wrapped so neatly, I hate to.

1102
00:57:20,304 --> 00:57:22,670
- I'll take it, Miss Bragg.
- Room service.

1103
00:57:22,740 --> 00:57:26,676
- Now we've got room service.
- I thought she might like this.

1104
00:57:26,744 --> 00:57:28,678
- Thank you.
- It's nothing, really.

1105
00:57:28,746 --> 00:57:30,145
Be careful.

1106
00:57:32,983 --> 00:57:35,781
If I were the cream
for that woman's coffee, I'd curdle.

1107
00:57:35,853 --> 00:57:38,754
I thought you meant to leave us
in protest, Miss Bragg.

1108
00:57:38,823 --> 00:57:39,949
- Yes.
- Yes.

SUGARPUSS: Come in.

1111
00:57:59,909 --> 00:58:03,276
- Morning, Pottsy.
- Good morning. I brought your breakfast.

1112
00:58:03,345 --> 00:58:07,145
Good, I'll have it right here
in the snooze stand, thank you.

1113
00:58:07,950 --> 00:58:10,441
- How do you take it?
- Just jav, no cow.

1114

- Just what?
- Black.

1115
00:58:13,055 --> 00:58:14,750
- Sugar?
- Straight.

1116
00:58:15,958 --> 00:58:17,721
- Toast?
- No, thanks.

1117
00:58:18,661 --> 00:58:21,186
- You sure you don't want some toast?
- Uh-uh.

1118
00:58:21,263 --> 00:58:23,788
Well, here's some jam to go with it.
It's blackberry.

1119
00:58:23,866 --> 00:58:26,130
- Never use it.
- Not just one bite?

1120
00:58:26,202 --> 00:58:27,328
Mmm-mmm.

1121
00:58:28,070 --> 00:58:29,662
Sit down and take a load off your feet.

1122
00:58:29,738 --> 00:58:32,138
Say, I found out what's wrong with
"on account of because."

1123
00:58:32,208 --> 00:58:33,232
It's saying the same thing twice,

1124
00:58:33,309 --> 00:58:35,573
you know, like calling somebody
a rich millionaire.

1125
00:58:35,644 --> 00:58:39,671
You call it a pleo...
No, wait a minute, a plea...

1126
00:58:39,748 --> 00:58:42,308
- A pleonasm?
- Yes, that how you pronounce it? That's it.

1127
00:58:42,384 --> 00:58:44,318
- Who told you that?
- This room's full of books about grammar.

1128
00:58:44,386 --> 00:58:46,047
I read for a couple of hours.

1129
00:58:46,121 --> 00:58:47,179
I couldn't sleep, either.

1130
00:58:47,256 --> 00:58:50,225
I walked in the park till the sun
came up over the East Sixties.

1131
00:58:50,292 --> 00:58:52,089
It took me all that time
to gather my thoughts,

1132
00:58:52,161 --> 00:58:55,619
to analyze my impulses
and clarify our relationship.

1133
00:58:55,698 --> 00:58:56,824
Have we got one of those?

1134
00:58:56,899 --> 00:58:59,663
It's a very important moment,
a new chapter.

1135
00:58:59,735 --> 00:59:01,726
In fact, for me, it's the first chapter.

1136
00:59:01,804 --> 00:59:06,241
For what has my life been up till now?
A preface. An empty foreword.

1137
00:59:06,308 --> 00:59:08,435
You couldn't talk a little plainer,
could you?

1138
00:59:08,510 --> 00:59:10,569
Not if you won't have a piece of toast.

1139
00:59:10,646 --> 00:59:13,581
At least just... At least look under the lid.

1140
00:59:17,653 --> 00:59:20,884
- You went and bought me a present.
- I hope it fits.

Gurkakoff calculated the circumference
of your finger.

1142
00:59:33,969 --> 00:59:36,870
I woke up the jeweler at 7:00 this morning.

1143
00:59:38,407 --> 00:59:42,468
- It's a lovely ring, Pottsy, really it is.
- I hoped you'd like it.

1144
00:59:43,679 --> 00:59:46,978
It's our... It's our engagement ring.

1145
00:59:48,083 --> 00:59:52,611
- Pottsy, do you mean you...
- Yes, I did, I...

1146
00:59:53,522 --> 00:59:55,422
You mean you really...

1147
00:59:59,261 --> 01:00:00,387
Well?

1148
01:00:02,431 --> 01:00:05,491
- What am I supposed to say?
- Just say yes.

1149
01:00:06,368 --> 01:00:10,737
After you've declared your feelings,
it's the only logical step to take.

1150
01:00:11,907 --> 01:00:16,071
Don't you think you'd better take
another turn around the park, Pottsy?

1151
01:00:16,512 --> 01:00:18,275
I'm just as surprised as you.

1152
01:00:18,347 --> 01:00:21,111
Marriage? I thought
I was married to my books.

1153
01:00:21,183 --> 01:00:23,242
The only thing
I thought I could care for deeply

1154
01:00:23,319 --> 01:00:25,787
was a correctly constructed sentence.

1155
01:00:25,854 --> 01:00:31,520
The subject, predicate, adverbial clause,
each in its proper place, and then you...

1156
01:00:31,593 --> 01:00:34,994
You see, I've had rather a curious life.

1157
01:00:35,064 --> 01:00:37,658
I graduated from Princeton when I was 13.

1158
01:00:37,733 --> 01:00:41,260
I recited <i>Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright</i>
when I was a year old.

1159
01:00:41,337 --> 01:00:44,135
Before I was two, I could read fluently.

1160
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,066
People like that just, well...

1161
01:00:49,244 --> 01:00:52,736
You see, dust just piles up on their hearts.

1162
01:00:52,815 --> 01:00:55,215
And it took you to blow it away.

1163
01:00:56,752 --> 01:00:58,379
Yeah, but I...

1164
01:00:59,021 --> 01:01:02,115
I didn't mean
to blow it smack into your eyes.

1165
01:01:02,191 --> 01:01:06,059
Well, that's what happened, look.
Look inside the ring.

1166
01:01:08,464 --> 01:01:10,489
Oh, yeah, there's writing.

1167
01:01:11,333 --> 01:01:14,791
- "Richard III." Who's Richard III?
<i>- Richard III.</i>

- There wasn't room for all the words.
- What words?

1170
01:01:22,211 --> 01:01:25,510
Well, they go like this, quote,

1171
01:01:25,581 --> 01:01:28,709
"Look, how this ring
encompasseth thy finger.

1172
01:01:28,784 --> 01:01:32,276
"Even so thy breast
encloseth my poor heart.

1173

"Wear both of them,
for both of them are thine."

1174
01:01:38,093 --> 01:01:39,856
Unquote, I suppose.

- Come in.

01:01:53,542 --> 01:01:55,669
- There is a telephone call for you.
- For me?

1179
01:01:55,744 --> 01:01:59,202
We didn't want to interrupt, but the man
on the wire said it was from your daddy.

1180
01:01:59,281 --> 01:02:01,408
- Daddy?
- That's what he said.

1181
01:02:01,517 --> 01:02:02,506
Oh.

1182
01:02:03,152 --> 01:02:06,553
- Oh, yes, Daddy!
- It's long distance.

1183
01:02:06,622 --> 01:02:08,317
Yeah, I'll get it.

1184
01:02:09,224 --> 01:02:12,022
- How did it go, Potts?
- She seemed quite overwhelmed.

1185
01:02:12,094 --> 01:02:13,288
That was to be expected.

1186
01:02:13,362 --> 01:02:16,388
You see, excuse me,
you see, the customary procedure

1187
01:02:16,465 --> 01:02:18,933
is to approach
the parents of the young lady first.

1188
01:02:19,001 --> 01:02:21,196
- Yes.
- Yes, I realize that.

1189
01:02:23,639 --> 01:02:26,472
- Hello?
- Hello, hello, it's Asthma, Sugie.

1190
01:02:26,542 --> 01:02:27,668
The boss wants to talk to you,

1191
01:02:27,743 --> 01:02:30,303
only we're relaying the call
so it won't be traced, dig me?

1192
01:02:30,379 --> 01:02:32,210
Here she is, boss. Ready?

1193
01:02:32,281 --> 01:02:34,977
Okay, Sugie, don't use no names, though.

1194
01:02:43,425 --> 01:02:46,292
Oh, boy, did you call at the right minute.
Where are you?

1195
01:02:46,361 --> 01:02:49,922
Some whistle snort in New Jersey.
Rancocas, it's called.

1196
01:02:50,466 --> 01:02:53,731
Well, how you been, Sugie? I hear
you're hiding out with the seven dwarfs.

1197
01:02:53,802 --> 01:02:56,930
Eight. And it's kind of indicated
I'd better get out of here quick.

1198
01:02:57,005 --> 01:03:01,066
Oh, no, nothing like that, it's just that one
of the professors got off the beam a little.

1199
01:03:01,143 --> 01:03:03,668
Yeah, a slight case of Andy Hardy.

1200
01:03:03,745 --> 01:03:08,148
Why don't you just take his umbrella
and whack him over the knuckles?

1201
01:03:08,217 --> 01:03:11,380
Well, everything's all set, babe.
The license comes through this afternoon.

1202
01:03:11,453 --> 01:03:14,286
I got a justice of the peace all lined up.

1203
01:03:14,756 --> 01:03:17,953
Yeah, that's what we're trying
to figure out, how to get you here.

1204
01:03:18,026 --> 01:03:21,154
No, I don't want you to take a train.
They'd spot you like a lead dime.

1205
01:03:21,230 --> 01:03:24,199
They'll be watching everything,
Holland Tunnel, Washington Bridge.

1206
01:03:24,266 --> 01:03:26,097
I don't even trust the highways.

1207
01:03:26,168 --> 01:03:28,363
I don't care
if I have to hook a ride on a hearse.

1208
01:03:28,437 --> 01:03:30,837
I want to get out of here.
I don't like it. I want to blow.

1209
01:03:30,906 --> 01:03:31,895
(DOOR CLOSES)

1210
01:03:33,775 --> 01:03:36,642
Well, what other news is there, Daddy?

1211
01:03:36,712 --> 01:03:40,204
Everything fine at home? Is Mom all right?

1212
01:03:44,086 --> 01:03:48,750
For Easter? Well, I don't know, Daddy.

1213
01:03:49,224 --> 01:03:52,489
Just a minute.
I won't be long, just wait in the library.

1214
01:03:52,561 --> 01:03:55,428
Do you mind if I have a few words
with your father?

1215
01:03:56,565 --> 01:03:57,725
Sure.

1216
01:03:59,801 --> 01:04:03,601
Daddy, this is the professor
I was telling you about.

1217
01:04:07,609 --> 01:04:11,204
Mr. O'Shea? My name is Bertram Potts.

1218
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:16,915
I judge your daughter has already
told you of my aspirations in her regard.

1219
01:04:18,020 --> 01:04:19,544
Hey, are you crazy?

1220
01:04:20,355 --> 01:04:23,347
You're quite right, Mr. O'Shea.

1221
01:04:23,425 --> 01:04:25,154
It's inexcusable for one
to introduce oneself

1222
01:04:25,227 --> 01:04:28,458
to one's future father-in-law
over the telephone.

1223
01:04:29,331 --> 01:04:31,458
But before even considering

1224
01:04:31,533 --> 01:04:33,433
entrusting your daughter's
future happiness to my care,

1225
01:04:33,502 --> 01:04:36,232
I'm sure you want to know all about me.

1226
01:04:38,106 --> 01:04:39,698
Well, as character references,

1227
01:04:39,775 --> 01:04:42,642
you might get in touch with the head
of the Rockefeller Foundation,

1228
01:04:42,711 --> 01:04:45,544
and the President of Princeton,
my own university.

1229
01:04:47,516 --> 01:04:50,007
Well, except for occasional trouble
with my left sinus,

1230
01:04:50,085 --> 01:04:52,679
I am in excellent physical condition.

1231
01:04:53,355 --> 01:04:56,654
- How's your digestion, son?
- Good.

1232
01:04:57,492 --> 01:05:00,461
I draw a salary of $3,200 per year.

1233
01:05:01,463 --> 01:05:04,830
In the last election,
I voted the straight Republican ticket.

1234
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,093
That's fine, that's fine.

1235
01:05:08,704 --> 01:05:11,172
I just had a brain flash, McNeary.

1236
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,237
What did you say your first name is, son?
Bertram.

1237
01:05:16,144 --> 01:05:18,442
Well, Bertram,
I don't know if Sugarpuss told you,

1238
01:05:18,513 --> 01:05:20,777
but she's our only child.

1239
01:05:20,849 --> 01:05:24,080
We kind of never figured
on having a professor in the family,

1240
01:05:24,152 --> 01:05:27,053
but if that's what she wants,
then that's fine with us.

1241
01:05:27,122 --> 01:05:30,250
Well, I shall do everything I can,
Mr. O'Shea, to make her happy.

1242
01:05:30,325 --> 01:05:32,623
Just one thing more, Bertram.

1243
01:05:32,694 --> 01:05:36,994
Mom is kind of an invalid,
doesn't do any traveling.

1244
01:05:37,065 --> 01:05:39,863
But it would just break her heart
not to see Sugarpuss married.

1245
01:05:39,935 --> 01:05:42,529
- You understand that?
- Of course, sir.

1246
01:05:42,604 --> 01:05:45,801
My mother's dead,
but I know it would have...

1247
01:05:46,675 --> 01:05:49,508
It would have made her happy
to be present.

1248
01:05:49,978 --> 01:05:53,004
So, suppose you just bring the kid
right down here.

1249
01:05:53,081 --> 01:05:57,177
We want to see you and
let's have the ceremony in our hometown.

1250
01:05:57,853 --> 01:05:59,946
Why, of course, Mr. O'Shea.

1251
01:06:00,722 --> 01:06:03,213
May I call you Father, Mr. O'Shea?

1252
01:06:04,226 --> 01:06:06,126
Thank you, Father.

1253
01:06:07,362 --> 01:06:11,389
It was better than I hoped for.
Your father wants to talk to you.

1254
01:06:15,404 --> 01:06:17,872
Well, Sugie,
this solves your transportation.

1255
01:06:17,939 --> 01:06:19,702
That Jack was made-to-order.

1256
01:06:19,775 --> 01:06:23,677
Who's gonna stop the Rockefeller
Foundation and Princeton University?

1257
01:06:23,745 --> 01:06:26,646
And suppose you get a couple of the other
old beavers to come along in the car.

1258
01:06:26,715 --> 01:06:29,115
Maybe there's some other way.

1259
01:06:29,184 --> 01:06:31,414
I don't want to take them
for that kind of a ride.

1260
01:06:31,486 --> 01:06:33,886
That's quite all right.
I'll take a couple of days off.

1261
01:06:33,955 --> 01:06:36,583
- Yes, we all will.
- That's a good idea.

1262
01:06:36,992 --> 01:06:40,257
Now cut out the menkenkes, Sugie.
This gets you to Rancocas.

1263
01:06:40,328 --> 01:06:42,728
Once you're here, we'll give the professor
the boot, easy like,

1264
01:06:42,798 --> 01:06:44,857
where it won't blind him.

1265
01:06:44,933 --> 01:06:47,868
I don't want any discussions.
Just one thing.

1266
01:06:48,470 --> 01:06:52,600
Watch out for the Washington Bridge.
That'll be swarming with cops.

1267
01:06:53,642 --> 01:06:56,008
Hello? Hello?

1268
01:06:59,081 --> 01:07:02,812
- What's the matter, my dear?
- He's always in such a rush.

1269
01:07:02,884 --> 01:07:05,546
Which is my great good fortune,
the sooner the better.

1270
01:07:05,620 --> 01:07:08,418
Gentlemen, I now have the honor
to announce our betrothal.

1271
01:07:08,490 --> 01:07:09,821
Congratulations.

1272
01:07:09,891 --> 01:07:13,657
Very sensibly condensed,
as in the <i>Reader's Digest.</i>

1273
01:07:15,831 --> 01:07:18,959
- Please don't cry, I'm very happy.
- Can't help it.

1274
01:07:19,034 --> 01:07:22,435
Look, why don't you go upstairs and
pack my fianc�e's things for her? Please.

1275
01:07:22,504 --> 01:07:25,405
- I want to be an usher.
- We'll all be ushers.

1276
01:07:26,074 --> 01:07:28,304
One kisses the bride. May I?

1277
01:07:28,376 --> 01:07:30,901
- We'll all kiss the bride.
- Yes, of course.

1278
01:07:30,979 --> 01:07:33,971
- May we?
- Go ahead.

1279
01:07:37,986 --> 01:07:40,216
We are very happy.

1280
01:07:40,288 --> 01:07:43,451
We feel that you are marrying
all of us, a little.

1281
01:07:43,525 --> 01:07:45,220
Yes, yes, indeed.

1282
01:07:51,399 --> 01:07:54,027
We wish you every happiness, my dear.

1283
01:07:56,471 --> 01:07:57,802
All of us.

1284
01:08:01,209 --> 01:08:05,270
If we're gonna get started
this afternoon, I'd better be going.

1285
01:08:11,086 --> 01:08:12,383
(DOOR OPENING)

1286
01:08:13,455 --> 01:08:14,547
Well.

1287
01:08:18,393 --> 01:08:21,760
- Kind of a cheesy picture of me, isn't it?
- Recognizable, thank heaven.

1288
01:08:21,830 --> 01:08:22,956
- Wait a minute.
- Get your things together

1289
01:08:23,031 --> 01:08:24,589
and get down the back stairs
before I call the police.

1290
01:08:24,666 --> 01:08:25,758
I've got something to say.

1291
01:08:25,834 --> 01:08:28,462
A gangster's moll thinking
she'd marry one of my professors.

1292
01:08:28,537 --> 01:08:30,368
Don't worry,
I'm not marrying any professor.

1293
01:08:30,438 --> 01:08:33,134
- Certainly not.
- I'm mink coat. I'm no bungalow apron.

1294
01:08:33,208 --> 01:08:34,641
That's the guy I'm getting.

1295
01:08:34,709 --> 01:08:36,870
Pretty good getting for a gal
that came up the hard way.

1296
01:08:36,945 --> 01:08:39,436
We'll have this room fumigated
when you're out of it.

1297
01:08:39,514 --> 01:08:40,742
- Well, you ought to, I guess.
- Let me past.

1298
01:08:40,816 --> 01:08:43,376
No, no, no, any spilling that's to be done,
I'll do, but not yet.

1299
01:08:43,451 --> 01:08:46,011
- Not while it would bug up everything.
- If you think I'll hold my tongue...

1300
01:08:46,087 --> 01:08:48,385
Why don't you look at it this way, Braggo?
The harm's been done.

1301
01:08:48,456 --> 01:08:51,482
Pottsy's gonna wear his heart in a sling
whether he finds out sooner or later.

1302
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,427
Here or in New Jersey
won't make any difference to him.

1303
01:08:54,496 --> 01:08:57,056
Only, in New Jersey's
a darned sight better for me.

1304
01:08:57,132 --> 01:08:58,258
Better for you, indeed.

1305
01:08:58,333 --> 01:08:59,459
- No, no, no.
- Why, you, you...

1306
01:08:59,534 --> 01:09:02,002
- Open that door or I'll scream.
- No, I can't have you screaming, not now.

1307
01:09:02,070 --> 01:09:04,595
- A piercing scream...
- Sorry, Braggo.

1308
01:09:25,427 --> 01:09:27,019
- What did you say?
- What?

1309
01:09:27,095 --> 01:09:29,893
I was just running
through the marriage service.

1310
01:09:29,965 --> 01:09:31,262
"To be my lawful wedded wife.

1311
01:09:31,333 --> 01:09:33,358
"For better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer."

1312
01:09:33,435 --> 01:09:35,164
- Please, Pottsy.
- What?

1313
01:09:35,237 --> 01:09:36,704
Don't, please.

1314
01:09:38,506 --> 01:09:40,872
You're very nervous aren't you, darling?

1315
01:09:40,942 --> 01:09:42,603
It's been a very exciting day.

1316
01:09:42,677 --> 01:09:45,942
It's just this business of going to Jersey.
I mean, back home.

1317
01:09:46,014 --> 01:09:49,211
Every time I get to this old bridge,
I get worried for fear I might get stuck

1318
01:09:49,284 --> 01:09:51,081
and not be able to get back over again.

1319
01:09:51,152 --> 01:09:53,985
We'll bring you back, don't you be afraid.

1320
01:10:00,562 --> 01:10:02,086
Okay, go ahead.

1321
01:10:09,938 --> 01:10:12,463
- Hey.
- Sorry, sorry.

1322
01:10:12,540 --> 01:10:14,940
You trying to play piggy-back?

1323
01:10:15,010 --> 01:10:16,568
Listen to that.

1324
01:10:16,645 --> 01:10:19,512
- I don't see any reason for sarcasm.
- Neither do I.

1325
01:10:24,286 --> 01:10:26,254
Something wrong with your brakes,
sonny?

1326
01:10:26,321 --> 01:10:30,189
I couldn't locate it for a moment.
This is a rented car.

1327
01:10:30,258 --> 01:10:32,954
- Got a driver's license?
- I have, indeed.

1328
01:10:39,901 --> 01:10:44,167
"1903."
This should have been renewed 20 times.

1329
01:10:44,239 --> 01:10:46,366
- This is as far as you drive, brother.
- No, no.

1330
01:10:46,441 --> 01:10:49,308
But, Officer, this is a wedding party.

1331
01:10:50,445 --> 01:10:51,912
A wedding party?

1332
01:10:51,980 --> 01:10:54,141
- Are you the bridegroom?
- No, I am.

1333
01:10:54,215 --> 01:10:56,410
- Is this the bride?
- Yes.

1334
01:10:56,484 --> 01:10:57,883
- Pardon me.
- Officer, please.

1335
01:10:57,953 --> 01:10:58,942
What is it?

1336
01:10:59,020 --> 01:11:02,251
It's good luck to touch a bride,
and I got a promotion coming up.

1337
01:11:02,324 --> 01:11:05,851
Well, could you reciprocate
by letting us proceed?

1338
01:11:05,927 --> 01:11:07,417
- Yes, we'll drive very carefully.
- Yes.

1339
01:11:07,495 --> 01:11:10,225
Postponing a wedding
is bad luck, you know, Officer.

1340
01:11:10,298 --> 01:11:12,232
That's right.
Well, what are you waiting for?

1341
01:11:12,300 --> 01:11:13,892
- Get going.
- Okay.

1342
01:11:13,969 --> 01:11:15,596
A very nice gentleman.

1343
01:11:19,107 --> 01:11:21,940
All that nonsense with my driving license.

1344
01:11:23,144 --> 01:11:26,477
With that license I once drove
President Theodore Roosevelt.

1345
01:11:26,548 --> 01:11:28,778
And he pronounced my driving bully.

- Look out! Look out!

1358
01:12:13,294 --> 01:12:16,559
All right, I didn't mean to say it, I'm sorry.

1359
01:12:16,631 --> 01:12:18,826
Hey, wait a minute,
there's a car driving up now.

1360
01:12:18,900 --> 01:12:19,889
(PHONE RINGING)

1361
01:12:21,836 --> 01:12:24,202
Listen, sister, I said I was sorry.
What do you want me to do?

1362
01:12:24,272 --> 01:12:26,570
Send you a bouquet of...

1363
01:12:26,641 --> 01:12:29,371
It's you, wait a minute.
Hey, it's Sugarpuss.

1364
01:12:31,679 --> 01:12:33,943
Sugie, say,
what the sweet Judas gives out?

1365
01:12:34,015 --> 01:12:35,004
Where are you?

1366
01:12:35,083 --> 01:12:38,917
We're not down here to enjoy ourselves.
This is a wedding.

1367
01:12:38,987 --> 01:12:41,785
A what? They had an accident.

1368
01:12:42,490 --> 01:12:47,484
Nothing serious.
No, it just shook the old boys up a little.

1369
01:12:48,163 --> 01:12:50,529
I couldn't get to a phone before.

1370
01:12:50,598 --> 01:12:52,828
I don't know,
some little hotel near Kingston.

1371
01:12:52,901 --> 01:12:55,199
Poplar Grove, it's called. Yeah.

1372
01:12:56,504 --> 01:12:58,995
Oh, sure, Joe,
there's a midnight bus. I can grab that.

1373
01:12:59,074 --> 01:13:00,541
Midnight bus, what are you talking about?

1374
01:13:00,608 --> 01:13:03,736
I'll have Asthma and Pastrami
pick you up in about 40 minutes.

1375
01:13:03,812 --> 01:13:04,904
Sure tonight.

1376
01:13:04,979 --> 01:13:07,140
I've got a justice of the peace on call.

1377
01:13:07,215 --> 01:13:08,978
There'll be a justice
of the peace tomorrow.

1378
01:13:09,050 --> 01:13:10,984
Now, why not do this thing right?

1379
01:13:11,052 --> 01:13:15,284
I want to wait until the old boys go to bed.
I can't walk out on them cold.

1380
01:13:15,356 --> 01:13:16,448
Maybe you'd like to sit down

1381
01:13:16,524 --> 01:13:18,856
and knit them eight little sweaters
to remember you by.

1382
01:13:18,927 --> 01:13:22,158
I've told you how it's going to be,
now stop barking orders.

1383
01:13:22,230 --> 01:13:23,458
So long.

1384
01:13:27,168 --> 01:13:28,863
Get the car ready.

1385
01:13:30,472 --> 01:13:33,066
GURKAKOFF: I could prove to you
by the laws of relativity

1386
01:13:33,141 --> 01:13:36,372
that it was not I who ran into the signpost,

1387
01:13:36,444 --> 01:13:38,639
but that it was the signpost which ran...

1388
01:13:38,713 --> 01:13:41,113
That's all right, go ahead, sit down.

1389
01:13:42,050 --> 01:13:45,144
But that it was the signpost
which ran into me.

1390
01:13:46,554 --> 01:13:47,680
Let me explain.

1391
01:13:47,755 --> 01:13:51,816
If you do, by that same law,
your head will run into this bottle.

1392
01:13:52,660 --> 01:13:56,357
- Before you do that, I'd like a drink, please.
- By all means, excuse me.

1393
01:13:56,431 --> 01:13:58,194
No, I think I'll hit the hay, get some sleep.

1394
01:13:58,266 --> 01:14:00,097
- Why?
- The evening's young yet.

1395
01:14:00,168 --> 01:14:02,568
Oh, no, I don't belong here.
This is a bachelor dinner.

1396
01:14:02,637 --> 01:14:04,969
- But this one is different.
- No, that's the law.

1397
01:14:05,039 --> 01:14:07,473
We've heard from the garage.
The car will be ready in the morning.

1398
01:14:07,542 --> 01:14:09,476
Perhaps it will hold together
until Rancocas.

1399
01:14:09,544 --> 01:14:10,602
Then we'll be leaving early.

1400
01:14:10,678 --> 01:14:15,342
Yeah, after issuing an urgent appeal
to all signposts not to charge at us.

1401
01:14:15,550 --> 01:14:16,574
That's right.

1402
01:14:16,651 --> 01:14:17,777
What...

1403
01:14:17,852 --> 01:14:20,116
What time shall we waken you,
about 7:30?

1404
01:14:20,188 --> 01:14:22,213
I'll be awake all right.

1405
01:14:23,158 --> 01:14:26,093
Well, kids, here's to you.

1406
01:14:26,161 --> 01:14:28,857
- Here's to you.
- Here's to all of us.

1407
01:14:28,930 --> 01:14:30,056
Yes, to all of us.

1408
01:14:35,069 --> 01:14:36,502
Pottsy, I...

1409
01:14:38,706 --> 01:14:41,174
You know,
you boys still have time to warn him.

1410
01:14:41,242 --> 01:14:44,370
- A man is a goof to marry any woman.
- Just let them try to warn me.

1411
01:14:44,445 --> 01:14:48,074
He'll have to console us that
there aren't seven more just like you.

1412
01:14:48,149 --> 01:14:51,846
- Yeah, one for each of us.
- Of assorted ages, of course.

1413
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:53,251
Naturally.

1414
01:14:53,821 --> 01:14:54,810
I...

1415
01:14:55,857 --> 01:14:56,846
Well, I...

1416
01:14:57,425 --> 01:15:00,360
I'd like to keep you all in a locket, always.

1417
01:15:00,962 --> 01:15:04,125
Eight squirrelly cherubs
right out of this world.

1418
01:15:05,934 --> 01:15:08,630
- Bye, kids.
- Good night.

1419
01:15:08,970 --> 01:15:10,096
Goodnight.

1420
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,731
Did you hear, Potts?
I'm a squirrelly cherub.

1421
01:15:33,361 --> 01:15:36,592
No, no, no.
No, I insist, the happiest marriages

1422
01:15:36,664 --> 01:15:38,894
are those which produce three children

1423
01:15:38,967 --> 01:15:42,232
at intervals of not less than two
or more than three years.

1424
01:15:43,871 --> 01:15:46,203
Gentlemen, gentlemen. Please.

1425
01:15:46,941 --> 01:15:50,138
You are all speaking very glibly
about a subject

1426
01:15:50,211 --> 01:15:52,475
of which you know practically nothing.

1427
01:15:52,547 --> 01:15:54,742
No, I know what I'm saying.

1428
01:15:54,816 --> 01:15:59,810
If you feel the need of any guidance,
may I suggest that you turn to me.

1429
01:15:59,887 --> 01:16:01,752
That's right.
You were married, weren't you?

1430
01:16:01,823 --> 01:16:06,556
Oh, yes. Genevieve has been dead
for some 24 years but...

1431
01:16:06,628 --> 01:16:10,530
I have relived every moment
of our happiness so many times.

1432
01:16:10,598 --> 01:16:13,726
And my experience
is entirely at your disposal, Bertram.

1433
01:16:13,801 --> 01:16:15,029
Thank you, Oddly, but I really...

1434
01:16:15,103 --> 01:16:20,666
I judge I do not have to start
with basic principles.

1435
01:16:21,576 --> 01:16:23,305
Being...

1436
01:16:23,678 --> 01:16:27,114
Being a botanist,
I find an astonishing parallel

1437
01:16:27,181 --> 01:16:30,810
between a woman's heart
and the wind flower

1438
01:16:30,885 --> 01:16:33,149
or <i>Anemone nemorosa.</i>

1439
01:16:33,221 --> 01:16:37,157
Perhaps you know the plant,
how it waits for the warm sunshine

1440
01:16:37,225 --> 01:16:41,821
and soft winds before it unfolds its petals.

1441
01:16:42,897 --> 01:16:44,489
Sensitive and delicate.

1442
01:16:44,565 --> 01:16:48,968
One rough, impetuous bee
can completely destroy the bloom.

1443
01:16:49,103 --> 01:16:51,230
Come out of the garden, will you, Oddly?

1444
01:16:51,306 --> 01:16:52,568
- Jerome.
- Have a heart.

1445
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:53,834
I'm much obliged to you, Oddly, but I...

1446
01:16:53,908 --> 01:16:58,106
Please, please, Bertram.
Think of me as an elder brother

1447
01:16:58,179 --> 01:17:02,548
or father, anxious to send you off properly.

1448
01:17:03,117 --> 01:17:05,347
As we all are. Of course.

1449
01:17:05,420 --> 01:17:07,684
Now, tenderness,

1450
01:17:08,423 --> 01:17:12,553
that is what I advocate.
Tenderness and patience.

1451
01:17:13,961 --> 01:17:16,020
Genevieve was a watercolorist.

1452
01:17:16,097 --> 01:17:20,693
Therefore, after the wedding reception,
we went straight to the Catskills.

1453
01:17:23,338 --> 01:17:28,640
We spent there a beautiful week
filled with promise.

1454
01:17:29,377 --> 01:17:32,972
And returned to New York
with 14 excellent watercolors.

1455
01:17:33,614 --> 01:17:35,047
Fourteen watercolors.

1456
01:17:35,116 --> 01:17:39,416
Back in New York, I flung my enthusiasm
into preparing a lecture,

1457
01:17:39,487 --> 01:17:41,717
"The Flora of the Catskills,"

1458
01:17:41,789 --> 01:17:44,519
whilst Genevieve painted
a flight of swallows

1459
01:17:44,592 --> 01:17:47,117
around the walls of our living room.

1460
01:17:47,695 --> 01:17:48,889
Ah, me.

1461
01:17:49,897 --> 01:17:54,459
I remember for three months,
every time I bade her goodnight

1462
01:17:54,535 --> 01:17:57,732
I would kiss the palm of her little hand,

1463
01:17:57,805 --> 01:18:00,638
astonished at my own boldness.

1464
01:18:00,708 --> 01:18:02,699
What did you say
the name of the flower was?

1465
01:18:02,777 --> 01:18:06,269
<i>Anemone nemorosa,</i>
of the buttercup family.

1466
01:18:07,148 --> 01:18:10,709
Genevieve was a blonde.

1467
01:18:12,453 --> 01:18:14,546
Here is a lock of her hair.

1468
01:18:15,022 --> 01:18:16,489
- Very lovely.
- Yes.

1469
01:18:16,557 --> 01:18:19,526
I remember, it used to shine a great deal.

1470
01:18:19,594 --> 01:18:23,121
And there was a song at that time
everyone sang.

1471
01:18:23,798 --> 01:18:26,562
Unfortunately, I can never carry a tune.

1484

Robinson, what did you make
of what Oddly was saying?

1485
01:20:36,564 --> 01:20:38,759
Don't ask me, Potts. He's the expert.

1486
01:20:38,833 --> 01:20:42,269
- What's his bungalow number?
- I don't know. Ask Peagram.

1487
01:20:42,336 --> 01:20:45,134
Peagram, what's the number
of Oddly's bungalow?

1488
01:20:45,206 --> 01:20:46,605
He's in six.

1489
01:21:10,765 --> 01:21:11,925
Oddly?

1490
01:21:14,235 --> 01:21:15,998
I'm sorry, Oddly,
but I've got to talk this out.

1491
01:21:16,070 --> 01:21:19,267
I must get this off my chest
before it stifles me.

1492
01:21:20,341 --> 01:21:21,831
If you don't mind,
we won't turn on the light

while we're discussing
these things extremely personal.

1494
01:21:25,179 --> 01:21:26,976
What you said,

1495
01:21:27,048 --> 01:21:30,814
I recognize the beauty and delicacy
of the relationship you described.

1496
01:21:30,885 --> 01:21:33,353
But I'm... I don't trust myself.

1497
01:21:33,421 --> 01:21:36,185
I'm afraid
I'm a lot bolder than you are, Oddly.

1498
01:21:36,257 --> 01:21:39,124
You don't think that would necessarily
endanger everything? Do you?

1499
01:21:39,193 --> 01:21:42,685
Why, the very idea that I should
have to spend my honeymoon

1500
01:21:42,763 --> 01:21:44,731
watching her paint in watercolors

1501
01:21:44,799 --> 01:21:48,565
just because she's like somebody
from the buttercup family, I...

1502
01:21:49,904 --> 01:21:51,895
I'm a man in love.
It's the first time in my life.

1503
01:21:51,973 --> 01:21:53,907
I want to take her in my arms.

1504
01:21:53,975 --> 01:21:58,139
I thought because I was young,
I had self-control but that's not true.

1505
01:21:58,212 --> 01:22:00,476
I think of her every waking moment.

1506
01:22:00,548 --> 01:22:03,415
Why, if this marriage had been delayed,
I mean, should have been delayed,

1507
01:22:03,484 --> 01:22:05,281
I mean, should be...

Listen to that.
Oddly, I don't know my tenses anymore.

1509
01:22:09,190 --> 01:22:13,286
I've gone goofy, completely goofy,
bim-buggy, slap-happy.

1510
01:22:13,361 --> 01:22:16,956
Can a man like that keep his mind
on the <i>Anemone nemorosa?</i>

1511
01:22:17,832 --> 01:22:20,357
- Pottsy.
- What...

1512
01:22:25,673 --> 01:22:30,269
I'm sorry, I don't know
how I could have made such a mistake.

1513
01:22:30,344 --> 01:22:34,075
To say such things to a woman.
You'll have to forgive me.

1514
01:22:34,649 --> 01:22:36,742
Don't apologize, Pottsy.

1515
01:22:37,218 --> 01:22:39,482
It was illuminating.

1516
01:22:43,090 --> 01:22:44,523
Professor Potts!

1517
01:22:46,594 --> 01:22:49,995
- Somebody is calling me.
- Are they?

1518
01:22:52,133 --> 01:22:54,067
Maybe it's just as well.

1519
01:22:54,135 --> 01:22:56,160
- Professor Potts!
- Professor Potts!

1520
01:22:57,672 --> 01:22:59,162
I'll be back.

1521
01:23:12,286 --> 01:23:13,981
- Were you calling me?
- Yes, we were, Potts.

1522
01:23:14,055 --> 01:23:16,182
Potts, something has come up.

1523
01:23:16,257 --> 01:23:18,020
- Yes, well...
- Well, what?

1524
01:23:18,926 --> 01:23:22,862
- You better tell him, Martin.
- Maybe he'd better tell him.

1525
01:23:22,930 --> 01:23:24,329
- Who?
- Potts.

1526
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:27,560
There's a gentleman here. No.

1527
01:23:27,635 --> 01:23:28,727
There's a man here. No.

1528
01:23:28,803 --> 01:23:32,068
- Four men, four men inside.
- Yes, they'll tell you.

1529
01:23:41,749 --> 01:23:45,446
- Well, what...
- So you're the bridegroom?

1530
01:23:45,519 --> 01:23:48,886
- Yes. This is Professor Potts.
- How are you, Bertram?

1531
01:23:50,324 --> 01:23:53,157
I thought
you'd look like these other squats,

1532
01:23:53,227 --> 01:23:55,821
only with a beard and pea soup on it.

1533
01:23:56,297 --> 01:23:58,822
What about me evoked
this interest on your part?

1534
01:23:58,899 --> 01:24:01,663
- Sounds like it was engraved, don't it?
- Yeah.

1535
01:24:01,736 --> 01:24:05,069
- What is this all about?
- It's about Sugarpuss.

1536
01:24:05,139 --> 01:24:09,132
- Perhaps if we talked to him...
- There's been too many detours as is.

1537
01:24:09,210 --> 01:24:12,771
Maybe you recognize my voice, Bertram,
do you?

1538
01:24:15,616 --> 01:24:17,243
How's your sinus?

1539
01:24:18,986 --> 01:24:21,682
- You're not her father.
- You're getting warm.

1540
01:24:21,756 --> 01:24:22,745
I'm her daddy.

Shut up.

1543
01:24:25,359 --> 01:24:28,351
I believe I'm entitled to some clarification.

What are you doing?

Calm down now, Wimpy.

1548
01:24:57,091 --> 01:24:59,685
I was kind of counting on Sugarpuss
to tell you the score.

1549
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:03,093
Trouble is she's all right giving out
with the twists and the wise cracks.

When it comes to leveling off,
she gets chicken.

He's trying to say that our wedding trip
was nothing but a vast lie.

1552
01:25:07,601 --> 01:25:09,296
A vast lie?

1553

Don't you believe it, Bertram.

1554

There's going to be a wedding all right,
with Sugarpuss the bride.

I certainly do appreciate the way
you guys delivered a hot cargo.

She was to be handled with care.

1560

- Potts, it seems that your bride to be...
- His bride. That's a laugh.

1561
01:25:33,828 --> 01:25:38,026
It seems that Sugarpuss has used us
to circumvent the police.

1562
01:25:38,098 --> 01:25:41,465
- We serving as protective coloration.
- PROFESSOR: Yes.

1563
01:25:41,535 --> 01:25:42,729
I don't believe it.

1564
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:45,135
Professor, you really thought
she was going to marry you

1565
01:25:45,206 --> 01:25:48,175
with your $3,000 what-was-it a year?

1566
01:25:48,242 --> 01:25:50,972
She spends that much
for having her toenails painted.

1567
01:25:51,045 --> 01:25:53,775
She sulks if she has to wear
last year's ermine.

He don't believe it. Look at him.

1569
01:25:59,854 --> 01:26:03,381
All right. Suppose you go tell Sugarpuss
Daddy's here.

01:26:07,728 --> 01:26:09,525
Joe Lilac's the name.

Professor Potts! Professor Potts!

01:26:23,410 --> 01:26:24,900
- Why, Miss Bragg.
- Is it too late?

1573
01:26:24,979 --> 01:26:26,742
Have you married that girl?
She knocked me out.

1574
01:26:26,814 --> 01:26:28,714
Nine hours in a closet.
Something told me all along.

1575
01:26:28,782 --> 01:26:30,477
Hold the phone, sister.

1576
01:26:30,551 --> 01:26:31,711
We traced you through your accident.

1577
01:26:31,785 --> 01:26:34,549
There's a warrant from the DA's office
for this girlfriend of Lilac's.

Where is she?

There's a Mr. Lilac waiting for you.

Yeah.

1581
01:27:03,584 --> 01:27:07,076
The situation has been explained to me
in simple terms.

1582
01:27:07,655 --> 01:27:12,752
You don't have to worry about the police.
I told them you and he left a half hour ago.

- Thanks, Pottsy.
- Thanks for what?

1585
01:27:17,731 --> 01:27:21,565
You've given us all a fine course in
the theory and practice of being a sucker.

1586
01:27:21,635 --> 01:27:24,103
It was a very small tuition fee.

1587
01:27:24,171 --> 01:27:26,366
Perhaps it wasn't quite worthy
of you choosing us

I didn't want you to get it this way.

1592

I made some Parker House rolls.

- No, thank you.
- Even have some jam.

Thank you, Miss Bragg,
but I don't think so.

I'd like to say a few words.

You've been very kind and very tactful.
If I may say so, over-tactful.

The entire ride home in the car,

1610
01:29:19,787 --> 01:29:23,553
you avoided a certain subject
and made empty conversation.

01:29:23,624 --> 01:29:26,491
Now, let's have it out.
I made an ass of myself and I know it.

Oh, well, we all have, Potts.

Yes, but I was the lead donkey.

Why not just regard the episode
as a prolonged constitutional?

That's right. That's what we'll do.

- Are you sure?
- Positive.

1635

Because if this is the one she gave
back to you and not the one you gave her,

Please, she happened
to pull that one off by mistake.

never makes mistakes.

And she kept the one she wanted, yours.

- Bosh and nonsense.

01:31:45,265 --> 01:31:47,165
- And this one.
- Yes.

1659
01:31:47,868 --> 01:31:50,666
"Professor bridegroom carries
ball of fire across state line."

1660
01:31:50,737 --> 01:31:52,534
And many others like it.

1661
01:31:52,606 --> 01:31:57,202
For my father, I feel profound humiliation.
For myself, unutterable disgust.

1662
01:31:57,277 --> 01:31:58,938
- Shall I go ahead?
- Please.

1663
01:31:59,012 --> 01:32:00,445
For the aforesaid reasons,

1664
01:32:00,514 --> 01:32:02,607
Miss Totten has decided
to discontinue the encyclopedia.

1665
01:32:02,683 --> 01:32:03,741
What?

1666
01:32:03,817 --> 01:32:05,842
- How soon can you vacate?
- Vacate? After nine years?

1667
01:32:05,919 --> 01:32:08,012
- Expelled in disgrace?
- Pull the chair from under us?

1668
01:32:08,088 --> 01:32:10,215
Thrown out like eight old shoes?

1669
01:32:10,290 --> 01:32:13,020
I'm sorry, gentlemen,
but my mind's made up.

1670
01:32:13,093 --> 01:32:14,321
Go ahead, Mr. Larsen.

1671
01:32:14,394 --> 01:32:16,385
Several real estate firms
are interested in this property.

1672
01:32:16,463 --> 01:32:19,489
One of the companies wants to erect
an apartment house here, giving you...

1673
01:32:19,566 --> 01:32:20,794
Whoa! Please don't do that.

1674
01:32:20,867 --> 01:32:22,198
I'm sorry.

1675
01:32:22,803 --> 01:32:25,363
One word, Miss Totten, may I?

1676
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,000
In your very understandable excitement,
a great injustice is being done.

1677
01:32:29,076 --> 01:32:30,236
I am the guilty one.

1678
01:32:30,310 --> 01:32:33,336
And I accept my dishonorable discharge
without protest,

1679
01:32:33,413 --> 01:32:36,075
but that others should suffer
and be punished

1680
01:32:36,149 --> 01:32:38,583
(STAMMERING) for my misconduct
is unthinkable.

1681
01:32:38,652 --> 01:32:40,051
(WINDOW BREAKS)

1682
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:42,452
Oh, my goodness, what was that?

1683
01:32:46,893 --> 01:32:48,656
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

1684
01:32:48,729 --> 01:32:52,165
Everybody line up over there,
like for a photograph.

1685
01:32:53,467 --> 01:32:55,833
With you, Bertram, in the foreground.

1686
01:32:55,902 --> 01:32:57,426
Come on, get going.

1687
01:32:57,504 --> 01:33:00,871
Get around, get around. Go on.
Faster. Keep moving.

1688
01:33:02,242 --> 01:33:06,542
Saint Valentine's Day!

1689
01:33:23,930 --> 01:33:26,262
Is the bride ready yet?

1690
01:33:26,333 --> 01:33:28,198
- No, not yet.
- What?

1691
01:33:28,969 --> 01:33:32,837
- Louder, please.
- We're still talking it over.

1692
01:33:32,906 --> 01:33:34,931
Good idea. Important step.

1693
01:33:36,209 --> 01:33:39,701
- Hey, wait a minute. Where you going?
- For lunch. Five minutes late.

1694
01:33:39,780 --> 01:33:43,773
- When are you going to be back?
- After I've ate and had my nap.

1695
01:33:44,384 --> 01:33:46,784
How long are we gonna argue this?

1696
01:33:47,454 --> 01:33:50,753
- Now look, Sugie.
- I said no. And no is no.

1697
01:33:50,824 --> 01:33:53,952
Sugie, when I was nine years old,
I was in love with my piano teacher.

1698
01:33:54,027 --> 01:33:56,825
She played classical.
You're not nine years old.

1699
01:33:56,897 --> 01:33:57,886
I love him.

1700
01:33:57,964 --> 01:34:00,432
- She loves him.
- Yes, I love him.

1701
01:34:00,500 --> 01:34:03,594
I love those hick shirts he wears
with the boiled cuffs.

1702
01:34:03,670 --> 01:34:05,831
And the way he always has
his vest buttoned wrong.

1703
01:34:05,906 --> 01:34:08,374
Looks like a giraffe and I love him.

1704
01:34:08,442 --> 01:34:09,841
I love him because he's the kind of a guy

1705
01:34:09,910 --> 01:34:12,902
that gets drunk on a glass of buttermilk.

1706
01:34:12,979 --> 01:34:16,380
And I love the way
he blushes right up over his ears.

1707
01:34:17,617 --> 01:34:21,212
I love him because he doesn't know
how to kiss, the jerk.

1708
01:34:22,022 --> 01:34:25,185
I love him, Joe.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.

1709
01:34:25,258 --> 01:34:27,249
I'll never see him again.

1710
01:34:27,928 --> 01:34:30,294
But I'm not gonna marry you.

1711
01:34:30,364 --> 01:34:32,491
Not if you tie a ton of cement
around my neck

1712
01:34:32,566 --> 01:34:35,091
and throw me into the East River
like you did to all the others.

1713
01:34:35,168 --> 01:34:36,999
- I tell you, Joe was framed.
- Oh, sure, sure.

1714
01:34:37,070 --> 01:34:39,504
So you tell me, I know better now.

1715
01:34:40,374 --> 01:34:43,036
I guess she'd better talk to her professor.
Get him on the phone.

1716
01:34:43,110 --> 01:34:44,668
You leave him out of this.

1717
01:34:44,745 --> 01:34:47,236
Imagine that big giraffe
at the bottom of the East River.

1718
01:34:47,314 --> 01:34:49,578
You wouldn't like that to happen
to him, would you, Sugarpuss?

1719
01:34:49,649 --> 01:34:52,083
- That ain't funny, McGee.
- Who said it's funny?

1720
01:34:52,152 --> 01:34:53,744
I mean business.

1721
01:34:54,488 --> 01:34:56,854
That is if you don't say "I do"
like a nice little bride.

1722
01:34:56,923 --> 01:34:57,912
Uh-uh.

1723
01:34:58,492 --> 01:35:01,893
I kind of figured you'd bumped your brains
into one of them pink clouds.

1724
01:35:01,962 --> 01:35:04,726
- You can't do this, Joe.
- It's too late, Sugie.

1725
01:35:04,798 --> 01:35:07,528
- The pressure's on already.
- What is this? Putting the screws on me?

1726
01:35:07,601 --> 01:35:09,933
You said it,
and right where it'll do the most good.

1727
01:35:10,003 --> 01:35:12,699
- Neighborhood of the heart.
- Hello.

1728
01:35:12,773 --> 01:35:15,435
This is McNeary. Hang on. Here you are.

1729
01:35:16,376 --> 01:35:17,775
You take it.

1730
01:35:22,149 --> 01:35:24,014
- Hello?
- Hello, Sugie.

1731
01:35:25,185 --> 01:35:26,948
Sure, it's Pastrami.

1732
01:35:29,055 --> 01:35:30,989
Just dropped in on the boys,
Asthma and me,

1733
01:35:31,057 --> 01:35:33,389
with our little old typewriters.

1734
01:35:34,361 --> 01:35:36,090
That's up to the boss.
We're waiting for orders.

1735
01:35:37,364 --> 01:35:40,094
- For orders?
- Can we make a deal now, Sugie?

1736
01:35:40,834 --> 01:35:45,362
Sure we can, brother.
Put him on, Pastrami, just a word.

1737
01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:49,370
Would you mind stepping
to the phone, Professor Potts?

1738
01:35:49,443 --> 01:35:51,638
A lady friend of yours.

1739
01:35:51,711 --> 01:35:54,339
I have nothing to say to Miss O'Shea.

1740
01:35:55,015 --> 01:35:58,576
- Oh, please, please!
- You haven't?

1741
01:35:58,652 --> 01:35:59,641
Just a moment.

1742
01:35:59,719 --> 01:36:01,380
Goodness, this is awful.
Yesterday, a nightclub...

1743
01:36:01,455 --> 01:36:03,116
Shut your clam, sister.

1744
01:36:03,190 --> 01:36:04,350
Hello.

1745
01:36:05,158 --> 01:36:08,286
Yes, Miss O'Shea, this is Professor Potts.

1746
01:36:08,361 --> 01:36:10,226
Your friends are here.

1747
01:36:10,864 --> 01:36:13,856
Not at all.
Your methods are familiar by now.

1748
01:36:13,934 --> 01:36:16,494
I don't know the exact purpose
of this maneuver.

1749
01:36:16,570 --> 01:36:19,038
What more can be gained from us?

1750
01:36:19,105 --> 01:36:21,573
But I hope
that it works to your advantage.

1751
01:36:22,642 --> 01:36:25,702
I'm sorry, Pottsy,
but it'll be all right in a little while.

1752
01:36:25,779 --> 01:36:30,478
They won't hurt anybody.
Just don't do anything foolish.

1753
01:36:30,550 --> 01:36:32,643
- Promise me, Pottsy.
- Give it.

1754
01:36:35,589 --> 01:36:38,615
Okay, Bertram, put Pastrami back on.

1755
01:36:39,259 --> 01:36:41,727
I imagine he wants to talk to you.

1756
01:36:42,696 --> 01:36:44,027
Yes, boss?

1757
01:36:44,698 --> 01:36:49,567
Okay, we'll wait for the call.
And best wishes, boss. Congratulations.

1758
01:36:51,271 --> 01:36:55,002
Well, all we have to do
is to wait for the all-clear signal.

1759
01:36:56,009 --> 01:36:59,342
We'll dismiss the class
right after the ceremony.

1760
01:36:59,412 --> 01:37:02,973
- Did you say after the ceremony?
- That's what I said.

1761
01:37:03,049 --> 01:37:04,448
You mean they're not married yet?

1762
01:37:04,518 --> 01:37:06,349
Why do you think
we're futzing around with these?

1763
01:37:06,419 --> 01:37:07,545
Well, I don't know, I thought...

1764
01:37:07,621 --> 01:37:11,648
A little trouble with Sugarpuss'
vocal chords. Wouldn't say yes.

1765
01:37:12,025 --> 01:37:14,516
She wouldn't say yes? What...

1766
01:37:14,594 --> 01:37:16,027
You very ugly young man,

1767
01:37:16,096 --> 01:37:18,826
you know, to me at this moment
you look perfectly delightful?

1768
01:37:18,899 --> 01:37:20,457
- I mean absolutely beautiful.
- I what?

1769
01:37:20,534 --> 01:37:22,058
- Positively wonderful.
- Are you nuts?

1770
01:37:22,135 --> 01:37:24,296
(LAUGHING) No, I feel like yodeling.

1771
01:37:24,371 --> 01:37:25,360
(YODELING)

1772
01:37:26,873 --> 01:37:28,135
Pardon me.

1773
01:37:28,208 --> 01:37:32,008
Dr. Gurkakoff,
my apologies to Professor Freud.

1774
01:37:32,078 --> 01:37:33,340
Thank you.

1775
01:37:33,413 --> 01:37:36,109
But you don't understand.
This visit is no longer a mystery.

1776
01:37:36,182 --> 01:37:37,877
Apparently, it requires those two guns

1777
01:37:37,951 --> 01:37:40,852
leveled on us
to force Sugarpuss to marry Mr. Lilac.

1778
01:37:41,087 --> 01:37:42,520
- You mean to say that...
- Yes.

1779
01:37:42,589 --> 01:37:45,615
- That explains everything.
- Break it up, break it up.

1780
01:37:45,692 --> 01:37:47,523
- We can't allow that.
- No, no, indeed.

1781
01:37:47,594 --> 01:37:49,186
Can't, huh?
What do you think we're here for?

1782
01:37:49,262 --> 01:37:53,255
But, young man, you see,
we all love this young lady very dearly.

1783
01:37:53,333 --> 01:37:55,233
Better look out. It's gonna spit.

1784
01:37:55,302 --> 01:37:56,963
What is going to... Oh, dear.

1785
01:37:57,037 --> 01:38:00,404
- Now, sit down, all of you. Sit down.
- Yes, we're... I mean, we're...

1786
01:38:07,380 --> 01:38:08,404
Ah.

1787
01:38:08,481 --> 01:38:11,712
Don't look so big now,
them eight big brains.

1788
01:38:11,785 --> 01:38:13,548
Not to me they don't.

1789
01:38:14,988 --> 01:38:16,615
You are under the impression
that you are big

1790
01:38:16,690 --> 01:38:17,850
because you have those firearms

1791
01:38:17,924 --> 01:38:20,654
because you know how to load them
and pull the trigger.

1792
01:38:20,727 --> 01:38:23,161
It would be interesting
to teach them the contrary...

1793
01:38:23,229 --> 01:38:25,254
Button it up, understand?

1794
01:38:27,267 --> 01:38:30,031
Hey, fellows, this won't take a second.

1795
01:38:30,103 --> 01:38:32,298
They're pulling a double or nothing
on that quizzola.

1796
01:38:32,372 --> 01:38:35,068
Three new questions. First.

1797
01:38:35,141 --> 01:38:37,905
"The sword of Damocles, was that a..."

1798
01:38:39,212 --> 01:38:41,009
Say, was you holding a meeting
or something?

1799
01:38:41,081 --> 01:38:43,049
More like a wake, maybe.

1800
01:38:46,553 --> 01:38:49,215
- Excuse me.
- Just a minute, Jack.

1801
01:38:49,789 --> 01:38:53,247
We got a loge seat for you,
right in the back row.

1802
01:38:53,326 --> 01:38:54,918
This way, please.

1803
01:39:01,267 --> 01:39:02,734
That's right.

1804
01:39:03,937 --> 01:39:05,427
ASTHMA: Now, sit down.

1805
01:39:23,223 --> 01:39:27,751
Young man, your...
You don't mind if we talk, do you?

1806
01:39:27,827 --> 01:39:30,125
- PASTRAMl: Just keep it funny.
- Thank you.

1807
01:39:30,797 --> 01:39:35,063
Your question as you came in was about

Yeah.

1809
01:39:36,503 --> 01:39:39,063
- But I'd just as soon skip it.
- No, but it's a very interesting subject.

- Never mind.
- Yeah, but I do mind.

I just wanted to tell you
that the sword of Damocles

1812
01:39:44,911 --> 01:39:46,606
was suspended over his head.

1813

- Yes, by a single hair.
- Exactly.

Mr. Pastrami,
you know your history, don't you?

01:39:59,693 --> 01:40:04,187
It's not one of my best points.
I never went in for that kind of stuff.

1818
01:40:04,864 --> 01:40:08,391
- At least, not very much.
- Well, I thought I'd just ask you.

1819
01:40:08,468 --> 01:40:11,494
- A very interesting lesson indeed.
- Yes.

1820
01:40:12,205 --> 01:40:16,574
Yes, indeed. I've always found it
a most absorbing subject.

don't you, Dr. Gurkakoff?

1838
01:41:02,689 --> 01:41:04,589
Extremely enlightening.

- Now, the latest centrifugal research

that syllogism is enigmatic to prolonged

would you look up something

in Tate's <i>Oriental Philosophy</i> for me?

- Yes, yes.

- Line one, chapter seven.
- Yes.

is giving me a headache.

Hold 'em up there. Hold 'em up!
I mean it! I mean it.

1958
01:48:23,095 --> 01:48:27,293
Come on, now.
Put 'em up. Put 'em up. I mean it.

1959
01:48:36,175 --> 01:48:38,234
Get his gun, get his gun.

1960
01:48:46,552 --> 01:48:48,986
All right, Joe. Put up your dukes.

1961
01:48:50,590 --> 01:48:52,080
Okay, Bertram.

1962
01:49:16,215 --> 01:49:17,876
Come on, Bertram.

1963
01:49:22,088 --> 01:49:23,612
(SIRENS WAILING)

1964
01:49:39,438 --> 01:49:42,339
This load of garbage
goes to the DA's office.

1965
01:49:43,776 --> 01:49:46,370
Something must have went wrong, boss.

1966
01:49:48,581 --> 01:49:52,950
Listen, you squirrelly cherubs,
you eight wise idiots, it wouldn't work.

1967
01:49:53,386 --> 01:49:55,650
Remember, Pottsy, no women aboard.

1968
01:49:55,721 --> 01:49:59,953
And now, above all women,
you want to take a dizzy dame like me.

1969
01:50:00,026 --> 01:50:03,723
If you'll allow me, I can prove to you
the inevitability of this step

1970
01:50:03,796 --> 01:50:06,424
- by higher mathematics.
- I can cite examples from history.

1971
01:50:06,499 --> 01:50:09,627
Or from geography,
two rivers converging irresistibly.

1972
01:50:09,702 --> 01:50:10,726
Yes, indeed.

1973
01:50:10,803 --> 01:50:12,361
PEAGRAM: I can prove it
by examples from literature.

1974
01:50:12,438 --> 01:50:14,030
MAGENBRUCH: Physiology.
ROBINSON: By law.

1975
01:50:14,106 --> 01:50:16,074
- All of them.
- Gentlemen.

1976
01:50:16,542 --> 01:50:19,602
As a grammarian,
I know when words cease to be of use.

1977
01:50:19,679 --> 01:50:21,840
There remains one argument.

1978
01:50:23,849 --> 01:50:26,579
- Come here, dear.
- Oh, no, please, Pottsy.

1979
01:50:26,652 --> 01:50:28,916
- Get up, darling.
- But, Pottsy...

1980
01:50:28,988 --> 01:50:30,512
- It isn't fair.
- It isn't?

1981
01:50:30,589 --> 01:50:32,318
No. It is not fair.

1982
01:50:33,125 --> 01:50:36,891
Oh, my goodness, Bertram.
Remember the <i>Anemone...</i>
