"Are you going to eat your pie?" "Or can I..." "You've had two pieces of pie." "incidentally, when are you going to pay me for your board and room?" "I gave it to him." "Why?" "He said he was boss, now." "He did?" "Don't get sore." "I was only kidding." "From now on, you only pay me." "well..." "We've got to be running along." "Come on stanley." "Bye, honey." "Bye." "Where do you think you're going?" "We're going to the ball game." "You're going to the ball game." "We businessmen have to relax some time, don't we?" "We certainly do." "If you want to relax, you can stay home and wash these dishes." "What do you mean "wash the dishes"?" "Yeah, what will his friends think?" "You keep out of this." "You stay home." "Come on, the dishes." "I'II be seeing you." "No you don't!" "If I have to stay and wash the dishes, he's going to dry them." "I don't care who does what." "But you won't leave me here washing the dishes alone." "After we get through, can we go to the ball game?" "You can do what you Iike." "Thank you, honey." "Mrs. Hardy." "Get me the dish pan." "Over there." "Get me the soap powder." "Don't forget to rinse them off." "Get out of the way." "pull out that board." "Don't keep handing them to me." "When you get it dry, put it in a nice dry place." "Now we're getting someplace." "You open the cupboard." "I'II put that away." "See who that is." "Is Mr. Hardy home?" "Yes, but he's not in." "What's the matter with you." "Too lazy to answer the door?" "Good afternoon, Mr. FinIayson." "Good afternoon." "What's the idea?" "I'm collecting the furniture payment." "It was paid yesterday." "Steady, woman." "Not to me, it wasn't." "oliver!" "Yes, baby, I'm coming." "oliver, there must be some mistake." "Did I or did I not give you the money to pay on the furniture?" "You certainly did." "Then why wasn't it paid?" "I gave it to him to pay it for me." "What did you do with it?" "I gave it back to him." "You gave it to me?" "Yeah, I gave it to you to pay my room and board." "Then you gave it to her." ""Recommember"?" "You mean the money that he gave to you that you gave to him that he gave to me, was the same money I gave to him to pay him?" "If that was the money you gave him to give me to pay to him it must've been the money that I gave him to give to you to pay my rent." "Mr." "FinIayson, I owe you an apology." "And 37 dollars." "Then this money must belong to you." "Next time, I want my payment without any detour." "He gave it to him and he gave it to you and who give it to what." "You're all nuts!" "You big dumb-beII." "I can't trust you to do a thing." "And as for you." "I've a good mind to throw you out." "You can't do it." "I can't do it!" "No, because I paid my room and board in advance." "And I gave it to him." "What do you mean "you gave it to me"?" "That was the money that she gave to me and I gave it to you to give to him then you gave it back to me and I had to give it to her to give to him." "Was the the money that she gave to him that I gave to you" "to give to..." "certainly." "well if she wants to give it to him that's her business." "No use you and I arguing about it." "Cut it out!" "What humiliation." "Creditors hounding me at my very fire-side." "You know what?" "What?" "I've got an idea." "Let's hear it." "How much money have you and your wife got in the bank?" "well, if it's any of your business, we have a joint account of 300 dollars." "Why?" "Why don't you draw the money out of the bank pay off the furniture and own it outright?" "You wouldn't have any interest to pay." "And you wouldn't have any hounds in your fireplace." "That's a good idea." "I'm glad you Iike it." "Honey?" "What is it?" "stanley's got a great idea." "What now." "He said we should draw our money out of the bank" "and pay the furniture off." "We'II do nothing of the kind." "That money stays right where it is." "Listen, tumbleweed, from now on, you mind your own business." ""Draw the money out of the bank", the very idea!" "I've come to the conclusion you haven't an ounce of brain." "You let her talk to you Iike that?" "certainly not." "I don't blame you." "She talks to you Iike water off a duck's back." "If she was my wife, I'd draw out of the bank and buy some furniture." "stanley, you're absolutely right." "I'II learn her." "Come on." "You know where the bank is?" "certainly." "300 dollars." "That's a Iot of money." "It sure is." "Ladies and gentlemen, this beautiful antique is worth 25 hundred dollars." "You're asking me to give it away for 150 dollars?" "155." "155, thank you sir, you won't regret it." "155 for the beautiful antique clock." "At last we get something for nothing." "160." "160 dollars." "Do I hear any more?" "160 dollars for this beautiful antique clock." "gentlemen, step right up." "We're giving things away today." "There's plenty of seats right in front here." "200 dollars." "Don't let this stop at 200 dollars." "200 dollars once..." "205." "205, 205!" "210." "210!" "225 dollars." "225 dollars!" "230." "230 dollars once...!" "Just a minute." "Take your time." "please, will you do me favor?" "My heart is set on having that clock." "But I've left my money at home." "will you keep the bidding open until I go home and get my money?" "Don't let anyone have it." "I'II pay you well for your trouble." "Being a true southerner, chivalry is my middle name to say nothing about hospitality." "230 dollars!" "Do I hear any more?" "230 dollar going once...!" "235." "Thank you." "I'II be back in a minute." "235 once, 235 going twice!" "Third and last call!" "240 dollars." "240 dollars!" "Do I hear any more?" "240 dollars." "245." "245 dollars!" "250." "250 dollars!" "255." "255!" "260." "260!" "265." "265!" "270." "270!" "270..." "What are you bidding against me for?" "You're bidding against me." "275." "275!" "280." "280!" "285." "285!" "290." "290!" "290!" "sold to the jolly gentleman for 290 dollars." "Thank you." "folks, that concludes the sale for today." "You!" "Come pay your money and take you clock out of here." "Pardon me just a moment." "I beg your pardon sir, but you don't understand." "I wasn't bidding for myself." "I was bidding for a lady and she went home to get her money." "Yeah?" "well, you did the bidding and you'II do the paying." "Boss." "Yes." "What is it?" "He bought a clock and won't pay." "Is that so?" "We've got a real..." "I'II handle this." "I've had trouble with these birds before." "You pay this money that you bid or I'II call the cops!" "You take that clock and get out of here!" ""You gave it to him and he gave it to me and I"..." "Get out!" "Get out!" "Good morning." "Good morning, Mrs. Hardy." "I wonder if you'II do me a favor." "I have a joint account with my husband and I'd Iike to fix it that nobody can draw the money out but me." "I'd be glad to do it for you" "but you husband was here just now." "Very nice, thank you." "What?" "Did he take the money?" "Yes, ma'am." "AII of it." "He closed the account." "ollie." "What?" "Let's put it down a minute." "Mr." "FinIayson." "Yes?" "Have you seen my husband?" "He was here a while ago." "Thank goodness for that." "Did he pay you for the furniture?" "No." "What was he doing here?" "He bought a grandfather's clock." "A clock?" "What for?" "For 290 dollars." "That's what for." "Here's another nice kettle of fish you've pickled me in." "What will you tell her about the clock?" "I'II tell her nothing." "I'II keep everything in the dark." "And if you keep your mouth shut, nobody will be the wiser." "hello, honey." "What's the matter?" "Where's the clock?" "What clock?" "The clock you paid 290 dollars for." "Why that's ridiculous." "Where would I get 290 dollars?" "Where's that clock?" "I don't know." "He said he would keep it in the dark." "And if I didn't keep my mouth shut then nobody would be the wiser." "Why didn't you keep your trap shut?" "Give me that chair." "Are you cooking something?" "Yes, I'II cook his goose!" "Taking my money out of the bank." "I'II give him clocks." "You can go in." "The second room on the right corridor." "Thank you." "Good morning, Mr. laurel." "Good morning." "How is Mr. Hardy." "I believe he's convaIescing." "Okay." "I'II wait until he gets through." "I'II sit over here." "Get Mr. laurel on the phone." "Have him down here at once." "That's Mr. laurel there." "Good." "We need you." "Right this way." "I regret to inform you that Mr. Hardy has had a relapse." "I find it necessary to give him a blood transfusion." "Mr. Hardy has suggested that you, being his best friend would be pleased" "to let us take the blood from you." "How do you mean?" "We take some of your blood and transfer it to Mr. Hardy." "To give him strength and make him well." "What do you think I am, a bIood-worm?" "Nurse?" "Yes, sir." "Take Mr. laurel upstairs." "Prepare him for the operation." "Right this way." "Wait a minute." "Do I have to take my hat off?" "." "I'm afraid!" "Ready, nurse?" "Ready, doctor." "Open the valve." "Doctor!" "Look!" "close the valve, quickly!" "It won't work." "It must." "Try it again." "Get the doctor." "Doctor, that laurel and Hardy case." "What's the matter?" "Mr. laurel has passed out." "We've taken too much blood." "Reverse the operation." "Take some from Mr. Hardy and give it to Mr. laurel!" "But that'II get them all mixed up." "What difference does it make." "Do what I tell you!" "Yes, sir." "They come to me for everything." "Come on!" "well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into." "well, I couldn't help it." "The doctor sent me upstairs to get a blood transfusion and I Iook like you and you look like me" "now I don't know what to do." "Shut up and come on!" "Goodbye, Mr. Hardy." "Goodbye." "Goodbye, Mr. laurel." "Goodbye, my dear madam." "Wait a minute, I forgot something."
