00:04:51It's almost time for the Red Star Cheese Program, Homer.
00:04:55Say, that's right. Thanks, Mom.
00:04:57How do you feel tonight, Grandma?
00:04:59Only fair.
00:05:01Boy, I sure hope Don Gray sings my song tonight.
00:05:04It's nigh on to two months since Homer sent that song to Mr. Gray.
00:05:08Two months ain't very long, Martha.
00:05:10Don't forget, you had to blow all the way to New York.
00:05:15Shh. I got it.
00:05:17♪♪♪
00:05:27♪♪♪
00:05:37Ladies and gentlemen, that was Don Gray singing his own composition,
00:05:42Sitting on the Edge of My Chair.
00:05:44Did you hear that?
00:05:46He said it was his own composition.
00:05:48Homer, isn't that nice?
00:05:50Him singing the first song you sent him.
00:05:55Well, he could have said I wrote it anyhow.
00:05:58Homer, maybe he just forgot.
00:06:01Forgot nothing.
00:06:03Well, Mom, you couldn't forget if somebody sent you a song
00:06:05and you used it and said you wrote it when you never...
00:06:08I always said you never can trust one of them crooners.
00:06:11I'll say you can't.
00:06:12I've got a good mind to go to New York
00:06:14and beat the stuffing out of that Don Gray.
00:06:16Oh, now, Homer.
00:06:18It costs a lot to travel.
00:06:21Take at least $50 to go to New York and back.
00:06:26Mama, pack my things.
00:06:28What are you going to do?
00:06:29I've got an idea.
00:06:31Oh, for land's sake.
00:06:33♪♪♪♪
00:06:43Looks like Spec Higgins is bringing his cow in here.
00:06:46What?
00:06:48Here, in here.
00:06:50Sure.
00:06:51I could use a glass of beer.
00:06:53Have you got any?
00:06:54No.
00:06:55Then why don't you ask me first?
00:06:58Howdy, Spec.
00:07:01Spec Higgins is here.
00:07:03That's what I just got to tell you.
00:07:05What?
00:07:06Oh, for shush.
00:07:08Hello, Sheriff.
00:07:09Howdy, Mayor. How are you?
00:07:10What can I do for you?
00:07:11What are you sore about, Sheriff?
00:07:13Oh, I ain't sore.
00:07:14That old limb-cracking ass like that all the time, he can't hear a thing.
00:07:18What's on your mind, Spec?
00:07:19Well, look, Sheriff, I want to see you, Mayor.
00:07:21Can't hear what you said.
00:07:22He said he wanted to see me.
00:07:24Well, he's looking right at you, ain't he?
00:07:26You see, Sheriff, it's like this.
00:07:27I want to go to New York at once and I need $50.
00:07:31You ain't going to get married, are you, Spec?
00:07:34No.
00:07:35No, it's more important than that.
00:07:36You see, it's about a song I wrote.
00:07:38I figured that, well, you could let me have $50
00:07:40and I could leave Minnie here until I could pay you back.
00:07:43Why, that cow ain't hardly worth no $50.
00:07:46Yes, she is.
00:07:47What did you not hear that about, Spec?
00:07:49Well, you heard what he said.
00:07:50He said Minnie wasn't worth $50.
00:07:51Well, why don't you sell her?
00:07:52I don't want to sell her.
00:07:53I just want to borrow money.
00:07:54He wants to borrow on her.
00:07:56How much?
00:07:57$50.
00:07:59Why don't you let him have it?
00:08:01Well, Spec, I'll let you have the $50.
00:08:03Say that's swell.
00:08:04But you'll have to pay for the fee.
00:08:05Ain't you going to let him have it?
00:08:07If he pays for the fee.
00:08:09As mayor of Huckabee, it's my duty to help you out, Spec.
00:08:13You bring Minnie over to my house.
00:08:15I'll let you have the money.
00:08:17And you won't have to pay for the fee, nubber.
00:08:20Say, that's swell, Mayor.
00:08:21Say, do you want me to leave the halter with you?
00:08:23Again?
00:08:24Oh, I just said thanks.
00:08:26What did he say?
00:08:28He said he wanted to leave the halter with you.
00:08:30No, I don't want any water.
00:08:32I want beer.
00:08:33Are you going to start that over again?
00:08:35Huh?
00:08:36Oh.
00:08:39Oh.
00:09:00He did.
00:09:02All right, then.
00:09:03Yes, I'll tell her to wait.
00:09:04Just a minute.
00:09:06Won't you have a seat, please?
00:09:09Oh!
00:09:11You've got the whole floor.
00:09:12You don't have to put your foot right onto me, do you?
00:09:16Excuse me.
00:09:21You play the guitar?
00:09:22Huh?
00:09:23Oh, yes, I'm the guitarist.
00:09:24Well, I'm sorry.
00:09:25There are 321 hillbilly auditions ahead of you.
00:09:28I ain't a hillbilly, and I don't want an audition.
00:09:30I want to see Don Gray.
00:09:31But that's quite impossible.
00:09:33Why?
00:09:34The Red Star Cheese Program is on the air right now.
00:09:37Oh.
00:09:39OK, thanks.
00:09:42What's delaying Don Gray?
00:09:43Well, I'm sure I don't know.
00:09:45He's already 10 minutes late.
00:09:46Run in the next act.
00:09:47I'll check up on him.
00:09:48OK.
00:12:15Now looky here Miss, I come all the way from Huckleberry, Arkansas, 1212 miles and I'll tell ya I got this scene.
00:12:22Very well then. Have a chair and I'll call you when he comes in.
00:12:26Yes, thank you.
00:12:32And now I'm going to turn the microphone over to our sports commentator, Billy Green.
00:12:38All right. It's all yours.
00:12:40Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, your favorite news commentator is very, very happy to be
00:12:47up here as guest of the Starcheese program.
00:12:50And I have brought you a great surprise indeed.
00:12:52No doubt you all remember that great All-American fullback, State, 1928-31, and today hailed
00:12:57as America's All-America coach, I'd like to have you meet him as your guest this evening
00:13:02and my guest, Big Slip Manahan.
00:13:05Well, how are you, coach?
00:13:06It's a pleasure to see you.
00:13:07I know that you look a little tired this evening.
00:13:08No, no, no, no, not tired, not tired.
00:13:09Ah, the old inexhaustible coach.
00:13:10Ah, yes, sir.
00:13:11Oh, I'm very sorry, coach.
00:13:12You know, coach, you don't mind a little interview over the air tonight?
00:13:13I'm sure that the public would like to know this new game that you're sort of instituting
00:13:14for the next year.
00:13:15They'd like to have you tell them a little something about the plays that you're going
00:13:16to use at the bowl when you play for the championship.
00:13:17Don't sleep while I'm talking, coach.
00:13:18It's a pleasure to see you.
00:13:19I know that you look a little tired this evening.
00:13:20No, no, no, not tired, not tired.
00:13:21Ah, the old inexhaustible coach.
00:13:22I'm sure that the public would like to know this new game that you're sort of instituting
00:13:26for the next year.
00:13:27They'd like to have you tell them a little something about the plays that you're going
00:13:31to use at the bowl when you play for the championship.
00:13:34Don't sleep while I'm talking, coach.
00:13:35It's a pleasure to see you.
00:13:36I'm, uh, I'm still talking.
00:13:37Uh, coach, you just, uh, you just stepped out of the stadium.
00:13:43I want you to tell these ladies and gentlemen just what systems you use, the different teams
00:13:48that you play.
00:13:49I'm sure that they'd be interested.
00:13:50After all, you know that football is sort of a national institution, coach.
00:13:54And, uh, yes, it is.
00:13:56And you could tell them a little something about the intricacies of football.
00:14:00Coach, do you mind, uh, if I ask you a little question?
00:14:04You no doubt remember the time I failed to make a touchdown for you back in 1928 as your
00:14:08star quarterback back there with the full front of the University of Illinois?
00:14:12Oh, yeah.
00:14:13Well, coach, tell them a little something about that game.
00:14:16Sort of make me reminisce.
00:14:18You know, coach, I don't...
00:14:19Aw, you're a little tired.
00:14:20Will you go right ahead?
00:14:21But this time, the studio audience and everybody listening in on the air would like to hear
00:14:25a few words.
00:14:26You go right ahead.
00:14:27Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure.
00:14:32Football today means more to the public than anything that people call a centipede.
00:14:35You can all see it.
00:14:36You can call that a football king.
00:14:37But the one thing, one thing must know, that any man, woman, or child would know that football
00:14:41king.
00:14:42A boy, what does he want in football?
00:14:43He can't start a football game unless you have a football.
00:14:45There you are, coach.
00:14:47That's what you live for.
00:14:48The old pigs care.
00:14:49Oh, please.
00:14:50Why?
00:14:51Well, ladies and gentlemen, you get the football team.
00:14:52The two teams get on the field.
00:14:53And the whistle blows.
00:14:54And they get going.
00:14:55They kick off like that.
00:14:56They kick off.
00:14:57Then you get into a huff.
00:14:58And the boys get to it.
00:14:59And then everyone else is in it.
00:15:00And the game shuts down.
00:15:01And the two teams are gone.
00:15:02And they get...
00:15:03And then the city gets together.
00:15:04And they get into a huff.
00:15:05And everyone else is in it.
00:15:06And the old people are in it.
00:15:07And the game is over.
00:15:08Go.
00:15:09You just stepped out of the game again.
00:15:10Don't stop me, please.
00:15:11Please.
00:15:12Go.
00:15:13Go.
00:15:14Please.
00:15:16Let's go.
00:15:37Any mail, Jane?
00:15:39Oh, Mr. Mulvaney has been frantic, Mr. Gray.
00:15:42Hey wait a minute. Come on Don hurry it up you're late all right all right it's me
00:15:53it's very clean. Hey you can't go in there. Why can't I? You got a pass? No sir. Well we can't
00:15:58have anybody messing up Mr. Gray's program. Yeah well I've got a good mind to mess him up
00:16:02besides why don't you mind your own business. Oh wait a minute one more crack like that you're
00:16:05gonna get a poke right in the nose. Yeah well where I come from down in Huckabee they poke
00:16:09each other in the nose. I just happen to be Mr. Gray's publicity manager. Yeah well that don't
00:16:14mean anything to me he stole my song. He did what? He stole my song and I aim to collect. Oh he did
00:16:20did he? I see well I tell you what you do you stay right here and I'll see that somebody takes care
00:16:25of you. You're not just trying to stall me are you? Do I look like the kind of a guy that would
00:16:29stall anybody? Well yes sir you do. I'll see that you're well taken care of. Now I'm getting somewhere.
00:17:00Yeah I remember you now. You're the boy that tried to murder me. Oh man I never saw you before in my life.
00:17:12What are you talking about? Don't try to deny it you're wearing horn-rimmed glasses huh? You're the guy.
00:17:22Well now am I the guy? Oh you wanna fight huh? I had a fight that's why I'm here. Here I'll give you a hand.
00:17:34There you go. Thanks. Well let that be a lesson to you. Boy you're knocking them for a loop. Thanks. You know that song is gonna make a fortune for you.
00:17:54Oh incidentally this week's report shows that you're second in nationwide popularity. Only second? Well
00:18:01I've done everything but put a copy of that song in every home in America. After the publicity campaign I put on for you.
00:18:08As a matter of fact I just about saved your life a few minutes ago. Some jealous radio husband?
00:18:14No I didn't ask him if he was married but he claims you stole his song. Why should I steal one when I can write a song like that last number?
00:18:26That's what I thought but the country app claimed that's the number you stole. They want to beat the daylights out of you.
00:18:34Where is he now? In jail. I called the cops. Nice work Flash. Answer this mail will you and this last one. Tell her no. Definitely no.
00:18:56Hey I know you. No you don't. Well then why are you wearing glasses like that? I can just naturally see better with them. See who?
00:19:06Say did you steal my coat? Steal your coat? What are you talking about? Say is it about time you let me out of here?
00:19:15It's this guy I'm taking out. Who me? Yes you. Come on. Say listen here. As his personal lawyer I demand that he have a fair and impartial trial.
00:19:26You can't convict a condemned man and I'm just the guy that can do it. Come back here.
00:19:32Are you Speck Higgins? Yeah why? What do you want? This is the man that paid your bail. You can go. Is this your hat? Yeah thanks. Much obliged to you.
00:19:50Forget it. I'm sorry about you being thrown in jail. Yeah can you imagine that? But if I ever lay hands on that guy at the broadcasting station.
00:19:58I don't blame you for being angry about that. Suppose we have dinner together. I've got a little business I want to talk over with you.
00:20:04Bro I could go for some eats. What kind of business? It concerns a song you sent me. Say you're not Don Gray. Yes.
00:20:16Why you don't look like the kind of a man that'd steal my song. I didn't steal your song. You see I mislaid your address and I'm waiting for you to get in touch with me.
00:20:26Let's go. We'll straighten everything out while we're dining. That suits me. Okay we'll go to the Club Miracle.
00:20:56Music
00:21:18Music
00:21:31Mr. Gray do you reckon that lady back there knows her address is slid up the side? I reckon she does.
00:21:42Hey the demitasse. Here monsieur.
00:21:44Music
00:21:59Bring me that. Oh but surely monsieur wishes more than an order of radishes. Sure I do. But that's what you ordered monsieur.
00:22:08Music
00:22:11Just bring me the same as he took. Oh monsieur.
00:22:14Music
00:22:24Applause
00:22:30Now then Higgins what do you think you ought to get for that song? Well I'll have to figure her up here now let me see.
00:22:43Fifty dollars that I borrowed from Sheriff Wade. But I spent that fifty that makes still another fifty.
00:22:56Now I have to pay that back Mr. Gray that's another fifty.
00:23:03And forty two dollars and ninety cents that's railroad fare from Huckabee out here. Yes.
00:23:10And a dollar and twenty cents for my eats. Now let's see that's a hundred and ninety four dollars and ten cents all told.
00:23:21A hundred and ninety four dollars and ten cents. Yes sir and I ain't going to take a cent less.
00:23:27Suppose I make it an even two hundred dollars. Oh that would be right big of you Mr. Gray.
00:23:33And then I could take some pretties home to mom and grandma. Fine.
00:23:36And we'll draw up a contract covering everything and I'll give you my check.
00:23:40Waiter. Yes. Bring me a sheet of writing paper and a pen please. Very good.
00:23:46And now ladies and gentlemen may I present the charming little lady Miss Barbara Holdbrook. Miss Holdbrook.
00:23:53Sweet as perfume from a lovely flower. That adds enchantment to each hour. Every moment sweet.
00:24:22I know her. Is that so? Sure we met down on the farm. What do you think of that?
00:24:28What did he say her name was? Her name is Barbara Holdbrook. Barbara Holdbrook.
00:24:36Say that's a pretty name ain't it? Mmm hmm.
00:25:07Everybody knows you're sweet.
00:25:21Hello Mr. Draper. Oh Barbara. There's a message from your brother.
00:25:26The phone call came to my office while you were singing. Is he in again?
00:25:32I'm afraid you've guessed it. Alright. I'll go down and bail him out after the last show. Thanks.
00:25:47This contract merely states that for the sum of $200 you give me the rights and the title to the song sitting on the edge of my chair.
00:25:54Sign right there.
00:25:57Well if you say it so right I guess it is. Why there isn't the slightest doubt about it Higgins.
00:26:02Sign on this line and I'll give you my check. Well here goes.
00:26:16Of course the song really isn't worth $200 but I'll take that chance.
00:26:22Now remember Higgins. From now on I wrote that song.
00:26:27Oh sure Mr. Gray. Whatever you say.
00:26:34You know Grandma used to have them wheezing spells like that. Huh?
00:26:45Well hello boys. Fellas we've got a new racket. What? Great. Let's have it.
00:26:50We're going to publish music. Is it legitimate?
00:26:55Well yes and no. Well which is it mostly? Yes or no?
00:27:00Jack, Don Gray is sitting outside at the table. Bring him in here will you? Okay boss.
00:27:05What's he got to do with it? Just stick around. You'll find out.
00:27:10Gray, I'm starting a music publishing company. I've decided to take you in, let you sing your songs and cut you in for 20% of the take.
00:27:18Well that's very nice of you. But this isn't Christmas. No I'm not giving presents, I'm taking them.
00:27:24So I'll thank you for the contract that hayseed out there signed over to you.
00:27:29I get it. That's fine. Because two very unpleasant things might happen to a young man in your position if you were dumb.
00:27:40Namely? Well first the great American radio audience might be shocked to find that one of its favorite crooners was a thief.
00:27:48And second, countless feminine romantic admirers might be discouraged if his nose were moved over a couple of inches.
00:27:55Do I make myself clear? Very. That's splendid. Sit down and we'll talk it over.
00:28:02Your friend won't miss you for a minute. He'll be enjoying the entertainment.
00:28:08Good evening Mr. Henderson. Hello Phillip. I presume you want to join Mr. Gray.
00:28:11Oh I didn't know he was here. Yes I'd like to. This way please.
00:28:17I'm sorry sir, Mr. Gray was here a moment ago. I'll see if I can find him. Alright thanks.
00:28:23Hey, how did you get out? So you were just stalling me, huh?
00:28:34Now I find I'm right back where I started.
00:28:41I met you, gave you my heart, never knew we'd drift apart, but I find I'm right back where I started.
00:29:01You loved me, life was a song, suddenly everything's wrong and I find that I'm right back where I started.
00:29:20I thought your love for me was so sincere, something sent from up above.
00:29:31But you were fooling from the start I fear, were you just in love with love?
00:29:42Somebody new might come my way, but just like you, she'll go away and I'll find that I'm right back where I started.
00:29:55That's not the way it goes. Play it again and I'll show you. Go ahead.
00:30:00You loved me, life was a song, suddenly everything's wrong and I find that I'm right back where I started.
00:30:15You guys pipe down, how do you expect an old man to sleep?
00:30:20You loved me and now it's all right.
00:30:26That even hurts my eardrums.
00:30:34Throw that guy that's singing in the shower. It'll be a pleasure.
00:30:38Say, how does it go from there, will you show me?
00:30:41I'd be glad to.
00:30:44I thought your love for me was so sincere, something sent...
00:30:52Come on, you.
00:30:53What's wrong now?
00:30:54What do you think this is, an opera house?
00:30:56Where are we going?
00:30:57You'll find out.
00:31:02Hey, the law provides that two witnesses must be present to test the... of the candidate, huh?
00:31:09Hey, what are you doing?
00:31:11We're going to cool off those hot pipes of yours. Come on.
00:31:14In the common law of the state of New York, ordinance 342A, people versus Gallagher.
00:31:21What are you doing here?
00:31:25I'm in jail.
00:31:29Hey, you got the wrong guy.
00:31:32What's that?
00:31:34You got the wrong guy.
00:31:36What's that?
00:31:38You got the wrong guy in the shower.
00:31:41You got the wrong guy under the shower.
00:31:44Here, I'll handle this.
00:31:46Well, I was only helping you out.
00:31:48Say, while you hear me, let me out of here, will you?
00:31:51Hey, let me out of here.
00:31:53Hey, you got the...
00:31:54I'm sorry.
00:31:58Hey, what goes on here?
00:32:06So this is the setup.
00:32:08I take over the contract, cut you in on that or any other songs we get from Higgins,
00:32:13which saves us a lot of unnecessary trouble and you a great deal of embarrassment.
00:32:18You aren't giving me much choice, are you, Draper?
00:32:21I'm not giving you any.
00:32:23This is my racket. Do you understand what I mean?
00:32:26Only too clearly.
00:32:37Thanks.
00:32:39Now we'll go and tell Higgins that I'm taking over the contract.
00:32:50Hello, Don.
00:32:51Hi, Draper.
00:32:52Where's Higgins?
00:32:53Higgins?
00:32:54Oh, that's the guy that was gonna beat you up.
00:32:56Come on, where is he?
00:32:58It's lucky for you that I saw him first. I had him thrown in jail again.
00:33:03I wish you'd keep your nose out of my affairs.
00:33:06Jack, go down and get him out of jail.
00:33:09Okay, boss.
00:33:11And in the meantime, we'll just stick together.
00:33:14If this is a double cross...
00:33:17Good evening, Sergeant.
00:33:19Good evening, Miss Holbrook.
00:33:20How much is it this time?
00:33:22Our price has never changed. It's the same as it was the last time.
00:33:25Very well.
00:33:27Hello.
00:33:28Bring out Holbrook.
00:33:30Holbrook?
00:33:31Right.
00:33:37That was great of you to do that for me, old pal.
00:33:44Come on, Holbrook.
00:33:45You're out.
00:33:46Wait, wait, wait.
00:33:47I refuse to desert my friend.
00:33:49I will leave here without spot.
00:33:52No, sir.
00:33:53Not Gilbert Holbrook.
00:33:55Look, you better clear out while you got a chance.
00:33:57I'll see you when you come back.
00:33:59No, sir.
00:34:00Anyone who will take a shower for me is my pal, and I refuse to abandon him.
00:34:05Let's give him the high sign of the exalted order.
00:34:10Are you coming out or not?
00:34:12No.
00:34:13Both or none.
00:34:15All right.
00:34:16Have it your own way.
00:34:26Now, you see? He's changed his mind.
00:34:28Oh, that's all right.
00:34:29He left the door open long enough for us to get a little fresh air, didn't he?
00:34:37Hello?
00:34:39Just a minute.
00:34:42Your brother's got a friend in there, and he won't leave without him.
00:34:45It's a wonder he didn't bring along the Rotary and the Elks.
00:34:47He belongs to both of them.
00:34:49Is that so?
00:34:50You know, I'm an eagle.
00:34:52How exciting.
00:34:54Well, what's the friend in for, and how much is it?
00:34:57Disturbing the peace, and it's $20.
00:35:00All right.
00:35:02Okay, bring them both out.
00:35:04Right.
00:35:27It must be a jailbreak.
00:35:30Reckon it's all right?
00:35:31Shh.
00:35:56Hello.
00:36:07Hello.
00:36:09Gilbert.
00:36:17Hello, Barbara.
00:36:18Well?
00:36:20Well, it's just like it was before.
00:36:23You had a big case.
00:36:25You couldn't think of anything brilliant.
00:36:27So you thought a drink would help you.
00:36:29But I won.
00:36:30What do you think of that?
00:36:32Oh, I'm tired.
00:36:33Let's go home.
00:36:34Now, wait, wait, wait.
00:36:36Gosh, I didn't expect to see you here in jail.
00:36:39And I didn't expect to see you in New York.
00:36:41What?
00:36:42You two know each other?
00:36:43Sure, we met down on the farm.
00:36:45The what?
00:36:46Homer lives on a farm.
00:36:47Homer Hall.
00:36:49His name is Spot.
00:36:50It's Speck, Mr. Holbrook.
00:36:52Oh, I'll try and remember that Spot.
00:36:55What are you doing in jail?
00:36:57Why, he lives here.
00:36:58He's been in twice already tonight.
00:37:01Let's go, Gilbert.
00:37:03Now, wait a minute.
00:37:04Spot's going with us.
00:37:08But I can't go looking like this.
00:37:10Oh, don't worry about that.
00:37:11I have a couple of suits home I'll let you have.
00:37:13Please, Gilbert.
00:37:15Spot is going with us.
00:37:17All right.
00:37:18But let's go before we all get thrown in jail.
00:37:23So long, Todd.
00:37:29See you later.
00:37:47Good evening, Sergeant.
00:37:49Well, what can I do for you?
00:37:50I want to spring a...
00:37:51Oh, I mean I want to bail out a fellow by the name of Speck Higgins.
00:37:54You're about five minutes too late.
00:37:56A young lady and her brother just took him home.
00:37:58Well, what do you think of that?
00:38:00I think he's lucky.
00:38:02You don't happen to know who the girl is, Sergeant?
00:38:06Her name was Barbara Holbrook.
00:38:08Oh, her.
00:38:09Well, much obliged, Sergeant.
00:38:11Wait a minute.
00:38:12Are you a good friend of this Speck Higgins?
00:38:14Sure, he's one of the best friends I've got.
00:38:16Well, he left his guitar here.
00:38:18Do you mind taking it to him?
00:38:19You betcha.
00:38:22Sign that.
00:38:27Sweet as perking from a lovely flower
00:38:33That adds enchantment to each hour
00:38:37Every moment sweet
00:38:41Oh, do-de-de
00:38:44Sweet do-do-de-de
00:38:47Do-do-de-de-de-de
00:38:50Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
00:38:52Do-do-de-de
00:38:57No.
00:39:00Look here, Draper.
00:39:01I've got a broadcast to do tonight.
00:39:03I've got to get some sleep.
00:39:04There'll be no sleep for you until Higgins is safe in my hands.
00:39:08If I were you, Gray, I'd keep my fingers crossed.
00:39:13Yeah, I guess so.
00:39:16Thankful that at last the love has come to stay
00:39:20Oh, come, so do-do-do
00:39:23So fond and sweet
00:39:25Do-do-do-do-do-do
00:39:28Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
00:39:31Do-do-do
00:39:32Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
00:39:39I just thought I'd fix us some breakfast.
00:39:41You seem to be doing a thorough job of it.
00:39:45Oh, I guess the clock must have stopped.
00:39:49No, I reckon that's about right.
00:39:51Oh, I forgot. You're from the country.
00:39:54Yeah, I guess we do get up a little early down there.
00:39:56You know, the rooster crows and up we get.
00:39:59Mmm, smells awful good.
00:40:01I'll set the table.
00:40:03Say, that's fine.
00:40:04The stuff's about ready to put on anyway.
00:40:08Didn't I hear you singing when I came in?
00:40:11I guess so, but I didn't know you heard me or I'd have tried to do better.
00:40:15That's the number you sang at the merry-go-round last night.
00:40:17Yes, I know.
00:40:27Would you mind if I wrote a song about you?
00:40:30That is, if I could think of one.
00:40:32I'd be flattered if you could think of one.
00:40:35I'll do my best and I'll bet you'd be right proud to hear it too.
00:40:39Oh, I'm sure I shall.
00:40:44Mm-hmm, what's this?
00:40:50Hello.
00:40:57Have we a new cook, my dear?
00:40:59You remember Mr. Higgins, Gilbert.
00:41:01Mr. Higgins? Remember Spot?
00:41:05Yes, you two were jailmates.
00:41:08I took a shower for you.
00:41:11But I'm in the habit of taking my own showers.
00:41:14There must be some mistake.
00:41:18You'll have to pardon my brother, Mr. Higgins.
00:41:21His memory isn't always up to par.
00:41:23The morning after.
00:41:31A little abacus salsa would do you more good, Gilbert.
00:41:39Well, everything's ready, but I couldn't find any cream.
00:41:43It's right outside the door.
00:41:45You go and get it while we change our clothes.
00:41:47Right.
00:41:50Come along, Gilbert.
00:41:55Hello.
00:41:56Good morning, sir.
00:41:57Excuse me.
00:41:58Ain't you the guy that wrote that song for Don Gray?
00:42:00Well, yeah, but why?
00:42:01Well, he's waiting for you to write another one.
00:42:03Oh, I see.
00:42:05Well, yeah, but why?
00:42:06Well, he's waiting for you to write another one.
00:42:08Only better.
00:42:09Well, tell him I'll see him after breakfast.
00:42:10Hey, you heard him.
00:42:11You coming with us now, or do we have to carry our feet first?
00:42:19Well, if you put it like that, I guess I'd better go along with you.
00:42:23Ah, that's a good boy.
00:42:24All right, come on.
00:42:30I don't forget what I told you.
00:42:32Well, here he is, boss, and no trouble at all.
00:42:35Did you want to see me, Mr. Gray?
00:42:36Why, yes, Spec.
00:42:37I want you to meet a very good friend of mine, Mr.
00:42:39Well, golly, do you mean to tell me you dragged me away from my breakfast just to meet a friend of yours?
00:42:43Well, this is very important, Spec.
00:42:44Spec Higgins, Mr. Draper.
00:42:46How do you do, sir?
00:42:47How do you do, Mr. Higgins?
00:42:48I have a business proposition to discuss with you.
00:42:51Well, if it's business, I guess it's all right, but they don't have to get so tough about it, do they?
00:42:55Did they get tough?
00:42:57Why, boys, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
00:43:00Well, that's just what you told us to do.
00:43:02Quiet down, Mugg.
00:43:05I'm sorry.
00:43:06I told them it was urgent, but I'm afraid they were a little too impetuous.
00:43:10Is that what you all call that up here in New York?
00:43:12Back in Huckby, we'd call it just plumbodacious.
00:43:15Come on, sit down.
00:43:16I'll tell you what I have in mind.
00:43:22Make yourself at home.
00:43:25Can I get you anything?
00:43:26Cigarette?
00:43:27Drink?
00:43:28No, thanks.
00:43:29I don't use them.
00:43:30But a little something to eat wouldn't hurt nothing.
00:43:32Oh, of course.
00:43:33Dixon, fix Mr. Higgins some breakfast.
00:43:35Yes, sir.
00:43:36This is Dixon.
00:43:37Anything you want, just ask him.
00:43:39Why, you do, sir.
00:43:42Speck, Mr. Draper is a music publisher.
00:43:45He's going to take over your contract.
00:43:47That's right, Higgins.
00:43:48And I'm going to pay you $50 more than Mr. Gray gave you for that last song.
00:43:53Only $250?
00:43:56Well, I can get more than that back in Huckby.
00:43:58Well, how much do you expect?
00:44:02Well, let's see.
00:44:06Make her $275 and she's a deal.
00:44:09All right, fine.
00:44:11Well, I guess you don't need me any longer.
00:44:14If I do, I'll whistle.
00:44:17Make sure it's the right tune.
00:44:19Good luck, Speck.
00:44:20Sure, and thanks a lot, Mr. Gray.
00:44:24Are you anxious to get to work?
00:44:26You mean now?
00:44:27Yes.
00:44:28Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Draper.
00:44:29I can't go to work now.
00:44:30Why not?
00:44:31Oh, I couldn't write a thing without Minnie.
00:44:33Minnie?
00:44:34Now, look here.
00:44:35I thought you were doing a solo.
00:44:37Of course, if you have a partner, I suppose we'll have to cut her in.
00:44:41Much as I hate mixing women into business.
00:44:44Where can we locate her?
00:44:46Well, back in Huckby, but Minnie's not a woman.
00:44:49She's my cow.
00:44:51What?
00:44:53That guy's a phony.
00:44:54He never wrote no songs.
00:44:56Maybe we'd better rub him out and start all over again.
00:44:59Say, what is a cow?
00:45:02Yeah, a lot of people think it's funny, but I get my rhythm from milking.
00:45:06Now, look here, old man.
00:45:07I realize that you've been under a great strain, but...
00:45:10but this idea of having a cow to help you write music is ridiculous.
00:45:15What is it, an obsession?
00:45:16No, sir, it's a jersey.
00:45:18Say, what are you trying to do, kid me?
00:45:20Now, look, Mr. Draper, I know what I can do and what I can't.
00:45:23When I say I need Minnie to write songs, well, that's about the way it stands, I guess.
00:45:27If it doesn't suit you, I'd just as soon be on my way back to Arkansas right now.
00:45:31All right, all right.
00:45:34We'll wire her for her.
00:45:36Oh, that'll be dandy.
00:45:37Who shall I send it to?
00:45:39Sheriff Wade, County Sheriff's Office, Huckaby, Arkansas.
00:45:49Must have Minnie in New York right away.
00:45:51What's that?
00:45:52Spec wants Minnie right away.
00:45:55That's what I'm asking you.
00:45:56What did you say?
00:45:58I've got to send Minnie to New York.
00:46:01What's the matter?
00:46:02They're running out of milk there?
00:46:05Maybe they can get better prices for it.
00:46:08Oh.
00:46:10Telegraph money order covers your loan of $50 in freight.
00:46:14Huh?
00:46:21Prepaid, signed here.
00:46:23I've delivered a lot of Pekingese dogs and poison cats in my life, but you've got them all big.
00:46:28Oh, I see.
00:46:29Are you sure she brought her cub with her?
00:46:32Her what?
00:46:33Her cub.
00:46:34You know, the thing they, um, chew with?
00:46:36Oh, well, you look her over carefully and you'll find that she's got everything.
00:46:39Oh, how thoughtful of her.
00:46:41Thank you very much.
00:46:42I'll do that at once.
00:46:45So that's a cow.
00:46:47Yep.
00:46:48Had her for seven and a half years.
00:46:50There's not another in Larkin or all of Huckleberry.
00:46:52No, I imagine not.
00:46:54Well, I suppose you were anxious to get to work.
00:46:57Yep, now that Minnie's here, it won't take me no time to think up something.
00:47:00Anything you want, Mr. Spec, sir?
00:47:02Uh, a milking pail, Dixon.
00:47:04A milking pail, sir?
00:47:06You heard him, a milking pail.
00:47:08But we have no milking pails, sir.
00:47:11Milk and pail.
00:47:12But we have no milking pails, sir.
00:47:14Well, get something.
00:47:15Something that will hold some milk.
00:47:17Very good, sir.
00:47:19Will you need anything else, Higgins?
00:47:21My guitar and some writing paper and a pencil.
00:47:27Boy, I sure am glad Minnie got here safe.
00:47:29There you are.
00:47:30Put it over there, will you, boys?
00:47:32You heard him.
00:47:33Put it over there.
00:47:36Will this serve the purpose, sir?
00:47:39Certainly not, Dixon.
00:47:40Get something much bigger.
00:47:41Something that will hold a tank full, if necessary.
00:47:44Oh, yes, sir.
00:47:46I'm sure sorry to put you folks into so much trouble.
00:47:49Oh, no trouble at all.
00:47:50Oh, skip it.
00:47:59Well, I've given you everything you asked for, Higgins,
00:48:01and I'm expecting great things of you.
00:48:03I'll do my best not to disappoint you, Mr. Draper.
00:48:06A big pardon, sir, but this is the only thing I could find.
00:48:09How about it?
00:48:10That'll do.
00:48:11Put it down.
00:48:13Down?
00:48:15Yes, sir, but where?
00:48:17Here, I'll take it down.
00:48:18Oh, thank you very much, sir.
00:48:20Well, I guess you two want to be alone now.
00:48:23Yeah, a few minutes with Minnie and everything will be all right.
00:48:25That's fine.
00:48:26All right, boys.
00:48:27Thank you, sir.
00:48:30If you ask me, this gag I need in the car to write a song is a lot of holding.
00:48:33Yeah, and I think we're a bunch of suckers to fall for it, too.
00:48:36You're telling me?
00:48:37That guy's been here all this time, and what's he done?
00:48:39Well, he'll write a song now, or that cow will be looking for a new composer.
00:48:43That's right, boss.
00:48:45Well, I guess we'd better get busy if we're going to write that song for Mr. Draper.
00:48:48I'll tell you all about it later, huh?
00:49:07I haven't got a heart that strong, dear.
00:49:19Though it may skip a beat or two, it seems out of gear.
00:49:25It's natural, dear, cause of trouble with me is you.
00:49:31That's a marvelous number, Higgins.
00:49:33The minute I saw Minnie, I knew something was going to happen.
00:49:36You know, Higgins, if we could come out with two or three songs like this in a row, it would be splendid.
00:49:42You mean you want me to write some more songs for you?
00:49:44If you have any more ideas.
00:49:46Well, I'll have to think up something.
00:49:48Well, I'll take this down to the publishing house and get the ball rolling.
00:49:51In the meantime, you make yourself right at home.
00:49:53Oh, Mr. Draper.
00:49:54Yeah?
00:49:55Would you cash this check that Don Gray gave me?
00:49:58Of course.
00:49:59Gee, 200 fish.
00:50:01You see, I owe somebody some money here, and I want to pay him.
00:50:04Well, that's perfectly all right.
00:50:06There you are.
00:50:08200 even.
00:50:09Thank you, sir.
00:50:10All right, boy.
00:50:13Anything else you want, sir?
00:50:15Yes, take this away, Dixon.
00:50:17Yes, sir.
00:50:18What do you wish me to do with it, sir?
00:50:20Well, drink it.
00:50:21Water on it, sir?
00:50:23Sure.
00:50:24Well, I'll do my best, sir.
00:50:26Thank you, sir.
00:50:28Take a look at this, Minnie.
00:50:30Not bad for a boy and girl that just come to the big town, huh?
00:50:33Two songs on Broadway already, and that's just a starter.
00:50:46Well, what do you know about that?
00:50:48You want to hear Miss Holbrook sing, Minnie?
00:50:51Just listen to this.
00:50:53Sweet as perfume from a lovely flower
00:50:59That adds enchantment to each hour
00:51:03Every moment sweet
00:51:08Sweet as perfume from a lovely flower
00:51:15That adds enchantment to each hour
00:51:21Sweet as graceful as a bird in flight
00:51:27You came to me on wings of night
00:51:31Every moment sweet
00:51:36Goodbye to solitude since you have come my way
00:51:41And with gratitude I face the day
00:51:45Thankful that at last the love has come to stay
00:51:49Come whatever may, oh sweet
00:51:55You're everything that I require
00:51:59What else could anyone desire?
00:52:02My heart's afire
00:52:04You're the one that's sweet
00:52:08Everybody knows
00:52:12You're sweet
00:52:18Is that the number you meant?
00:52:20Yeah, say, that sure was pretty, Miss Holbrook.
00:52:23You know, I wrote Mama and Grandma about you.
00:52:26Is that so?
00:52:27Of course, they're not very high on you big city singers, but...
00:52:30but I told them that you's a lot different.
00:52:32Well, maybe you should have told them that I was raised on a farm myself.
00:52:35Honest?
00:52:36Why, sure.
00:52:37No, you're just spoofing about that.
00:52:38No, really.
00:52:39Until the time I came to New York.
00:52:41Well, by George, what do you know about that?
00:52:45Excuse me, please.
00:52:47Won't you sit down? Make yourself at home.
00:52:49Yeah, thank you.
00:53:12Gilbert.
00:53:13Hello, Barbara, my dear.
00:53:15Say, how did you know I was out there?
00:53:18You rang the bell.
00:53:20What a strange coincidence.
00:53:22So did I.
00:53:34Well, if it isn't my old pal Spock.
00:53:38Wait, wait, wait.
00:53:44Sheba, it's good to see you again.
00:53:47It's good to see you.
00:53:48Say, you...
00:53:49Please, Gilbert.
00:53:50What is it, my dear?
00:53:52A little rest will do you good.
00:53:54Let me take you to your room.
00:53:56Not without my old pal Spuddy.
00:53:59No, you go ahead. I'll see you later, huh?
00:54:01Well, all right if you say so.
00:54:03But don't go away.
00:54:04I'll be back before you know about it.
00:54:13Phew.
00:54:43They are all as good as new
00:54:46There's only one thing that's wrong with me
00:54:49Oh, the trouble with me is you
00:54:52Well, it doesn't take a physician
00:54:55To analyze my condition
00:54:58No hot water bottle, no powder or pill
00:55:01Can ever revive me like your kisses will
00:55:05Haven't got a heart that strong, dear
00:55:08Though it may skip a beat or two
00:55:11Seems out of gear, it's natural, dear
00:55:13Cause the trouble with me
00:55:19Oh, the trouble with me is you
00:55:29Hello, I was just singing.
00:55:31Yes, I heard you.
00:55:32It's a grand number, Spec.
00:55:34I'd like to use it at the club.
00:55:36Do you know who wrote it?
00:55:37Uh-huh, I did.
00:55:38You?
00:55:39Oh, I do remember you saying something
00:55:41About writing a song.
00:55:43Yes, that's one of them.
00:55:45Why, it's wonderful.
00:55:46Why don't you try and get it published?
00:55:48Oh, it's gonna be published all right.
00:55:50Well, I guess I'd better be going.
00:55:52You wouldn't want me hanging around here.
00:55:53No, no, no.
00:55:54Stay and have some tea.
00:55:55And then you can tell me all about it.
00:55:57Sure I will.
00:55:58All right, it'll only take a minute.
00:56:00Find some cigarettes on the table.
00:56:09I thought you were too smart to get yourself
00:56:11Messed up like that.
00:56:13I guess I was a sap.
00:56:15What burns me up is the way Draper's
00:56:16Giving me the runaround.
00:56:18The way he aced you out, you mean.
00:56:20All right, have it your way.
00:56:22He pulled a fast one on me in Brooklyn
00:56:24A couple of years ago.
00:56:26You know, I have an idea how we can
00:56:28Upset Mr. Draper's little apple cart.
00:56:32You have?
00:56:33It may be kind of tough on Higgins,
00:56:34But I think he'll be all right.
00:56:35Let's have it.
00:56:36Now, here's what I want you to do.
00:56:40Spank, there's something about you
00:56:42I don't think you realize.
00:56:44You're terribly clever.
00:56:47No, I'm serious.
00:56:49Why, you should make oodles of money
00:56:50On your songs.
00:56:51Oh, that's fixed already.
00:56:52Really?
00:56:53Do you know what Mr. Draper's
00:56:54Paying me for that song?
00:56:56$275.
00:56:58$275?
00:57:00Sure, and that's $75 more than
00:57:02Don Gray paid me for writing
00:57:03Sitting on the edge of my chair.
00:57:05Spank Higgins, do you mean to tell me
00:57:07You wrote that song, too?
00:57:09Sure, yep, I mean, yes, ma'am.
00:57:11And you sold the two songs for $475?
00:57:18That's right, and I think that's
00:57:19Doing all right for a fellow that's
00:57:20Just come to town and don't know
00:57:21Nobody or nothing.
00:57:23You need a guardian, country boy.
00:57:25Spank, do you realize that Don Gray
00:57:28Is making thousands of dollars
00:57:29On that song?
00:57:30Sure.
00:57:31What?
00:57:32And now Draper will make even twice
00:57:33As much on the one he's publishing.
00:57:35Why, songs like that have been
00:57:36Known to make a million dollars.
00:57:38A million dollars?
00:57:40Gosh.
00:57:42And I was just fixing to write
00:57:43Another one for him.
00:57:44Spank Higgins, don't you dare
00:57:46Do anything of the sort.
00:57:47From now on, my brother will act
00:57:48As your attorney.
00:57:50You mean Gilbert in there?
00:57:52Yes.
00:57:53That's nice.
00:57:54Well, he'll see to it that you
00:57:55Get the money, not Mr. Draper
00:57:57Or Don Gray.
00:58:01Boy.
00:58:02What's the matter?
00:58:03I was just wondering what to do
00:58:04About that song that I gave Draper.
00:58:06Don't do anything.
00:58:07We'll let Gilbert take care of it.
00:58:09Draper is no man for you to deal with.
00:58:12Well, why?
00:58:13He and his so-called friends
00:58:15Are ex-gangsters and racketeers.
00:58:17They'll stop at nothing to gain their point.
00:58:19Why, they wouldn't think anything
00:58:21Of murdering you or anyone near and dear to you.
00:58:26Say, you don't think they'd do
00:58:27Anything to Minnie, do you?
00:58:29Minnie?
00:58:30Yeah.
00:58:31I brought her to New York.
00:58:32She's at Draper's apartment
00:58:33Right now waiting for me.
00:58:35But I don't see...
00:58:36I've got to take her where she'll be safe.
00:58:38Very well.
00:58:39If she'd like to, she can stay here
00:58:40Until everything's straightened out.
00:58:43She'd like that, all right.
00:58:44But I wouldn't put you out like that.
00:58:45She'd get everything all dirty.
00:58:47Dirty?
00:58:48Yeah, she's not very tidy.
00:58:49At home, I always keep her in the barn.
00:58:52In the barn?
00:58:53Sure.
00:58:54Say, I shouldn't be wasting time like this.
00:58:56I've got to get a truck
00:58:57And go over to Draper's place
00:58:58And get Minnie out of danger.
00:59:00Wait a minute, Beck.
00:59:01Let me get this straight.
00:59:03Minnie's at Draper's apartment.
00:59:05She isn't very tidy,
00:59:06So she can't stay with me.
00:59:08Now you have to get a truck
00:59:09So you can move her.
00:59:11That's right.
00:59:12I must confess, I don't understand.
00:59:14She must be quite a girl.
00:59:17A girl?
00:59:20I don't see anything to laugh about.
00:59:25Why, Minnie's not a girl.
00:59:26That's my cow.
00:59:28A cow?
00:59:32Back on the farm,
00:59:33I used to sing all of my songs to Minnie.
00:59:35She was sort of my inspiration, I guess.
00:59:38Well, I know it sounds a little funny,
00:59:40But I got my rhythm from milking, you see.
00:59:43Oh, I understand now.
00:59:45Well, we'll take care of Minnie.
00:59:46I'll have a truck meet us
00:59:47At Draper's apartment immediately.
00:59:49Gee, thanks, and tell them to hurry.
00:59:51Now you understand what I want, Dixon.
00:59:53You see that the cow is put safely away someplace,
00:59:56And I'll see that she's taken out of the building
00:59:57After dark tonight.
00:59:58Oh, yes, indeed, sir.
00:59:59I understand thoroughly, sir.
01:00:01And if you don't mind my saying so, sir,
01:00:03I shall be only too glad to see the end of her.
01:00:06Oh, yes, yes, of course, Dixon.
01:00:12Good day, sir.
01:00:13Don't forget, Dixon.
01:00:14No, sir.
01:00:28Just a minute, sir.
01:00:30Just a minute, sir.
01:00:31You know, this sort of thing isn't done.
01:00:33I must protest.
01:00:34Most vigorously, sir.
01:00:35I must protest.
01:00:36Really, sir.
01:00:37Spank, she's gone.
01:00:38Now, look here, sir.
01:00:39You can't come dashing around like...
01:00:40Where is she?
01:00:41Where is my Minnie?
01:00:42I don't know where the filthy beast is, sir.
01:00:44Oh, wait a minute, Spank.
01:00:46I'll get her.
01:00:47I'll get her.
01:00:48I'll get her.
01:00:49I'll get her.
01:00:50I'll get her.
01:00:51I'll get her.
01:00:52I'll get her.
01:00:53I'll get her.
01:00:54I'll get her.
01:00:55I'll get her.
01:00:56Oh, wait a minute, Spank.
01:00:59Spank.
01:01:00Operator, this is Spank Higgin.
01:01:02Never mind who I am.
01:01:03It's awful.
01:01:04It's kidnapping.
01:01:05It's happened right here, right before my eyes.
01:01:07Operator, give me police, army, navy, anybody, ambulance.
01:01:09Send them on out of here.
01:01:10Doggone it.
01:01:11Hurry, will you?
01:01:12Oh, don't be foolish, Spank.
01:01:13And I'm not kidding either.
01:01:26Spank.
01:01:27Spank.
01:01:28Spank.
01:01:29Spank.
01:01:30Spank.
01:01:31Spank.
01:01:32Spank.
01:01:33Spank.
01:01:34Spank.
01:01:35Spank.
01:01:36Spank.
01:01:37Spank.
01:01:38Spank.
01:01:39Spank.
01:01:40Spank.
01:01:41Spank.
01:01:42Spank.
01:01:43Spank.
01:01:44Spank.
01:01:45Spank.
01:01:46Spank.
01:01:47Spank.
01:01:48Spank.
01:01:49Spank.
01:01:50Spank.
01:01:51Spank.
01:01:52Spank.
01:01:53Spank.
01:01:54Spank.
01:01:56Pass.
01:02:00Whoo-hoo.
01:02:01Well, if it isn't my old friend Spock.
01:02:05Hi there, boy.
01:02:06Hello, Barbara.
01:02:08At a time like this, you could have stayed sober.
01:02:11Oh, that's so right.
01:02:13I didn't plan to find myself against a truck ride.
01:02:16Well, we won't need a truck now.
01:02:17Minnie's gone.
01:02:19Well, that's a relief.
01:02:20Hey, well, it's not for Minnie.
01:02:25Excuse me, just a minute, I'll look for Minnie.
01:02:30Hey, Minnie, Minnie, Minnie.
01:02:32Hey, Minnie.
01:02:33Hey, Minnie.
01:02:44Have you a drink of the house?
01:02:45I'll get you one, sir.
01:02:46Never mind, I'll go with you.
01:02:47Oh, very good, sir.
01:02:51That's them.
01:02:52Did you report a fire?
01:02:53Yes, I did.
01:02:54All right, I'll find it.
01:02:55Well, hey, wait a minute.
01:02:56I want to tell you about it.
01:02:57Did you report a kidnapping?
01:02:58Yes, sir, I did.
01:02:59You see, it's like this, Sergeant.
01:03:00Do you want to give us a description?
01:03:02Yes, sir.
01:03:03She's got brown eyes and reddish hair.
01:03:04She's 10 years old and weighs about 850 pounds.
01:03:07Wait a minute.
01:03:0810 years old and weighs 850 pounds?
01:03:11That's what I said.
01:03:12What is she, a circus performer?
01:03:14No, she's my cow.
01:03:16Cow?
01:03:17Cow?
01:03:18Hey, I can't find any fire.
01:03:19What's the idea of turning a cow into a circus performer?
01:03:21Why, what's the idea of turning in a false alarm?
01:03:23What are you doing?
01:03:24Kidding us?
01:03:25We ought to run you in.
01:03:26Oh, you can't do that, officer.
01:03:27No?
01:03:28Oh, can't we?
01:03:29Hey, what's going on in here?
01:03:30Looks like you all mixed up in something rude, Raper.
01:03:32Yeah, what's this about a kidnapped cow?
01:03:34Kidnapped cow?
01:03:35You kidnapped Minnie.
01:03:36What'd you do with her?
01:03:37Now, what would I be doing with a cow in my apartment?
01:03:40The man's insane.
01:03:41Yeah, it looks like that way to me, too.
01:03:42Maybe we'd better take him down and book him for insanity.
01:03:45Just a moment, officer.
01:03:47Maybe I'd better explain.
01:03:48Now, let me see.
01:03:50Minnie's on the roof.
01:03:51Oh, you're cold.
01:03:53I'm cold.
01:03:56Minnie's in the bedroom.
01:03:57Oh, you're positively frigid, sir.
01:03:59Ah, so you want to find...
01:04:00No, no, no.
01:04:01Oh, well, it's a good thing for you.
01:04:04Minnie's in...
01:04:06Minnie's...
01:04:07Minnie's in the cellar.
01:04:09You're getting warmer, sir.
01:04:12By the furnace.
01:04:13Oh, you're frightfully hot, sir.
01:04:15You're telling me?
01:04:16Yes.
01:04:17And I'm going to tell you something.
01:04:19You've laid yourself open to arrest.
01:04:21Arrest, sir?
01:04:22On two counts.
01:04:23And if you don't return Minnie here within five minutes,
01:04:27I'm going to sit here and think up two more counts
01:04:30that's going to put you in jail until you have a long, white beard.
01:04:35In that case, I'll go and fetch her at once.
01:04:38Put me in jail.
01:04:42Oh, how humiliating.
01:04:44You won't mind that after six or eight months.
01:04:49When Mr. Higgins and I got here, Minnie was gone.
01:04:52And that's a fact.
01:04:53That's a lot of nonsense.
01:04:55It's nothing of the kind.
01:04:59You're disgusting, Gilbert.
01:05:01Everything's all right.
01:05:03Spock!
01:05:04I found Minnie.
01:05:06Where is she?
01:05:07She'll be here in a minute.
01:05:08Oh, boy.
01:05:11Mr. Draper.
01:05:13As Mr. Higgins' legal advisor, I wish to inform you
01:05:17that the contract between Mr. Higgins and Don Gray was personal.
01:05:21Therefore, not transferable to you.
01:05:24Say, what are you trying to do, Holbrook?
01:05:25Throw a scare into me?
01:05:27Furthermore, if you publish that song to which you hold neither rights nor title
01:05:32without giving Mr. Higgins and Minnie 50%,
01:05:36we'll sue you for everything you own.
01:05:38And who knows?
01:05:40We may even break you.
01:05:44All right, Holbrook.
01:05:45You win.
01:05:46From now on, we'll cut in Speck and Minnie.
01:05:50Hold this a minute.
01:05:52All right, boys, let's go.
01:05:54I'll go with you.
01:05:55You stay here.
01:05:56Oh, that's what you think.
01:05:57I'll be seeing you later.
01:06:01So Gilbert came through after all.
01:06:03Yeah, but where is Minnie?
01:06:05Why, she's...
01:06:07Pardon me if I say so, but...
01:06:11Minnie!
01:06:12Minnie!
01:06:16Now look here, Higgins.
01:06:17I'm going to reorganize.
01:06:18From now on, it's the big three publishing companies.
01:06:21You, me, and Minnie.
01:06:27You'll have to take it up with my new business manager.
01:06:31I'm gonna give my heart and say
01:06:35I've signed it all away
01:06:39With love and kisses to you
