Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #3

and this moron pushed me

into this cage.

I saw...

You saw one of our most

respected citizens...

and you deliberately

pushed him into a cage.

No, Inspector.

Look, he's the monster.

Let him show you the ring.

Tell him to show you the ring.

Go ahead. Let's see the

ring. I wear no rings.

You wish to prefer charges? No,

that's not necessary, Inspector.

I think he suffers

from hallucinations.

Perhaps he and I should

have a little talk someday.

I might be able to help him.

Dr. Jekyll, I thought

I had a pretty good story...

but since your name is

involved, I'll just forget it.

Thank you.

Good night, sir.

Good night, Inspector.

Can I drop you off

at your home, Doctor?

Thank you, no, Inspector.

I'm going to walk.

You're the one that ought to be

behind the bars, not Dr. Jekyll.

Good night.

Good night.

Monsters! Rings!

Good night!

One moment, please.

Gentlemen, I'm a very nervous

man, and all these stories...

in the newspaper about a

monster running around town...

have disturbed me greatly.

Not me. I'd like to get

my hands on that monster.

You would?

Sure.

You're a very brave man.

I must confess, if I came face

to face with the monster...

I don't know

what would happen.

I wonder if you'd be kind enough

to walk with me as far as my house?

Sure.

I'd be very much obliged.

Come on, Tubby.

No.

Come on. It's not every day

you get a chance to walk home...

with a great man

like Mr. Jekyll.

No. You...

As for you, you dummy,

good night.

I can't tell how much I appreciate

your coming with me, gentlemen.

I understand

from the Inspector...

you were both members

of the police force.

How true.

But after what's happened, I

don't think we'll ever get back on.

Well, I think perhaps...

I can make the Inspector

listen to reason.

In the meantime, I'd feel much

safer if you'd stay here tonight.

I'd gladly pay you

for your time. Say L5?

L5? I should say we will.

Won't we...

Tubby, don't get nosy.

We'll stay. Where do we sleep?

This way, gentlemen. I'll show you.

Tubby!

Come on,

we're gonna make L5.

Hey, Slim.

Yeah?

I gotta go home.

I forgot something.

What did you forget?

I forgot to stay there.

No, you don't. Come on.

There you are, gentlemen.

I hope you'll be comfortable.

You've got nothing

to worry about.

You've got the law in

the house now. Thank you.

L5 just to sleep here.

Not bad, Tubby?

Yes. If we're alive in the

morning and able to spend it.

Now look, you can't make

two persons out of one.

If there's a monster,

there's a monster.

If there's a Dr. Jekyll,

there's a Dr. Jekyll.

But one can't be the other.

Now listen, Slim. All I know is

that I locked up the monster...

and when I came back,

Dr. Jekyll was there.

You know, I'm no magician.

You're having hallucinations.

I'm having what?

You're having hallucinations.

I don't know what I'm having,

but I'm gonna tell you this...

either Dr. Jekyll is the monster,

or the monster is Dr. Jekyll.

Hey, you've got

something there, you...

Stop it.

That's the same thing.

I put them in the bedroom

on the second floor.

The fat one saw me.

He saw my ring, too.

You hold it for me.

Perhaps he should

never leave here.

Don't be so impatient, Batley.

He might be interesting

to experiment on.

Now, that newspaperman. I

must find out where he lives.

Good night, Batley.

Keep your eyes open.

Phew!

Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll.

What a cute

little Easter bunny.

Snapped at me.

Now, you stay away from me.

But what seems

to be the matter?

There's someone in this house that

shouldn't be here, and it's me.

What?

Where are you going?

Where am I going?

Go ahead and ask him.

Ask him why he needs you and I

to be a bodyguard for him.

He's got a bodyguard downstairs

who'd like to tear me apart.

Where did this take place?

Where did it take place? Right

behind there. That's a bookcase.

That's a bookcase,

and behind the bookcase...

he's got a laboratory with all kinds

of funny animals down there and things.

Go on, ask him. He won't

tell you, but ask him.

Why shouldn't I? I've a

complete laboratory here.

Of course, I've tried to keep

it hidden from prying eyes.

The research I'm doing

is highly secret.

I'll be glad to show it to

you, if you care to see it.

I've already seen it. The doctor

won't let any harm come to you.

Okay, but I'm not gonna

turn my back on him.

Come on, follow me.

This way, gentlemen.

You gentlemen should feel

highly complimented.

You're the first to see

the inside of my laboratory.

For 15 years, I've been

experimenting with strange drugs.

Drugs that someday

will be of service to mankind.

That rabbit snapped at me.

A rabbit snapped at you?

What your friend says

is quite right.

I've been able to transfer the

characteristics of this dog...

into the brain of that rabbit.

Now this monkey here...

Never mind this monkey.

How about that big ape

that'd like to beat me up?

I know of no such person.

I work here quite alone.

You know...

I think you're seeing things again.

If I was Dr. Jekyll, I'd throw you out.

I wish he would.

Now if you gentlemen

will excuse me.

Slim, there's something funny

about that doctor.

Don't be silly.

If doctors didn't experiment, they'd

never be able to find new cures for you.

As far as that doctor's

concerned, I'm cured.

You were right, Batley. We

must dispose of them right now.

That's funny tasting water.

Come on, let's get out of

here before something happens.

Will you stop complaining?

We're making L5, aren't we?

Well, keep quiet. Now, the doctor

showed you all over the house...

showed you

all of his laboratory here.

Everything's in order,

there's no harm done.

What can happen to you

in a place like this?

He's a legitimate doctor,

he's always...

Tubby? Tubby?

Tubby?

Tubby, come back here.

They've gone!

See that they come back.

Tubby. Tubby!

Tubby, what's the idea

of running out on me?

I don't feel so good.

I don't trust that Dr. Jekyll.

What do you mean?

Any man that can take a dog's

brain and put it into a rabbit's...

he can take a person and change

him into something he ain't.

That's physically impossible.

I've told you that before.

A human being

is a human being...

and you can't make

anything different of him.

Hey, here's a pub. I'm going

to go get me a cold drink.

Hey, Slim?

Now what?

You wouldn't let him change

me into anything, would you?

Certainly not.

Oh, boy.

Now come on, let's get

that cold drink. Okay.

One half-and-half.

Right-o, sir.

What will you have?

Sarsaparilla and some cheese.

Yes, sir.

Is there anything wrong?

Why, no, sir.

Nothing at all, sir. I'll

go and see about that cheese.

Blimey!

What happened to him?

I don't know.

Them mice get bigger

every day.

I may have to

eat with them...

but I don't have to

drink with them.

Hey, what's the idea

of bringing in that mouse?

Go away. You're drunk.

I'm not drunk.

And you take your friend
