Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #4

out of here.

I don't like mice.

Who are you calling a mouse?

It talks!

Hey, Slim.

What?

Those guys must be

seeing things.

Pay no attention to them.

They're drunk.

You know, there's always

a way of...

Hey, Slim, what happened?

Come to.

Come on now. Slim.

Hey, Slim,

you don't look so good.

Tubby.

What I just saw!

Great, big... He was...

He...

Oh, no!

Slim.

Oh, boy!

I...

Hey, Slim, what am I?

A man or a mouse?

A minute ago,

I thought you were a mouse.

I've got it. That stuff that

you drank in the laboratory.

How do you like that Dr. Jekyll?

He turned me into a mouse, the rat!

Let's tell the Inspector.

Let's tell the Inspector.

Which way did he go?

You claim that Dr. Jekyll

is using drugs...

to transform people

into other people?

Yes, sir.

What kind of people?

Mice.

Pardon me, did you say mice?

He means mouse.

Mouse. I took a drink of something,

and I turned into a mouse.

He's right, and I was

right there. I saw it.

Where did this mouse-turning

take place? In a pub.

I see.

You turned into a mouse

in a pub, and you saw it.

Yes, sir.

You were drunk.

You were seeing things.

You expect me to arrest...

one of the most prominent doctors

in London on evidence of that kind?

Get out of here.

Get out and stay out.

Mice.

Mouse.

Get out. Get out!

I can't believe what they've said

about Dr. Jekyll. It's too fantastic.

If it reached the papers,

it would ruin his reputation.

So fantastic, I wouldn't think of

using a story like that without proof.

Look, I saw the monster.

Ain't that proof?

I know Tubby drank something

in the laboratory...

that turned him

into a mouse.

Oh, my dear.

This is a pleasant surprise.

And you brought visitors.

Come in. Come in.

Henry, is it true you've been

experimenting with weird drugs...

that change humans

into animals?

In a hidden laboratory?

Oh, dear!

I suppose these two gentlemen

are responsible for this nonsense.

Now, if you'll be kind enough

to step into the library...

I'll be glad to answer

any questions.

First of all, let me say that if

I used my knowledge of medicine...

to concoct drugs that turned

a human being into a beast...

why, I'd be arrested

for practicing witchcraft.

But you do have

a laboratory?

All my research

is done at the hospital.

I've no laboratory

on the premises.

Yeah? What's that thing back there where

you got all the animals? A dog kennel?

What about the secret place

behind the bookcase?

There's nothing secret about it. I'll

be glad to show you through there.

I don't think

it's necessary, Henry.

I'm sorry, Dr. Jekyll, but I still

have the curiosity of a newspaperman.

Are you sure you're telling

the truth? Sure, I'm sure.

When I say I seen something,

I seen something.

Mr. Adams, if you'll follow me,

I'll be glad to show you through.

Then there'll be no doubt

in your mind.

Follow me.

Follow you!

You always push me in first.

Right down the stairs,

Vicky.

Bruce, now we got him. Wait till

you see what he's got inside there.

This certainly doesn't look

like a laboratory, Henry.

Dr. Jekyll, I'm afraid

I owe you an apology.

That's all right, my boy.

Say no more about it.

Shall we go back

to the library now?

Slim, come here.

Now, we were down here before.

You and I know that there

was a laboratory here.

I know that. He sure made us

look like a couple of dopes.

Listen, if we could find out

where that guy hid the stuff...

then we could prove to Bruce

that we're right.

You've got something there.

Come on.

Hey, Tubby,

lets look around here.

Maybe he hid

some of his drugs here.

Let's take the overcoats off some

of these bottles and find out.

What's that?

Hey, this is the stuff

you drank, Moselle.

This is what turned you

into a mouse.

Come here, sit down.

You're gonna drink some more

of this, turn back into a mouse.

Then we'll prove to Bruce

that the doctor was lying.

Wait a minute. Suppose I drink

this, and I turn into a mouse...

and I don't turn back to the way

I am, to the way I like to be?

Don't worry. I'll bring you

cheese every day. Now drink up.

Anything to prove something.

You feel anything?

No. Maybe I didn't give you enough.

Go ahead, drink up.

Now, do you feel like a mouse?

No, just a little warm

all over.

Dr. Jekyll,

I feel like a fool.

Don't be upset, Bruce. Henry

understands. Of course I understand.

Go ahead, drink it up.

Now are you a mouse?

I'm doing all the drinking,

and you turn into a mouse.

A big mouse,

you're turning into.

I'm gonna have to

take you up to Bruce...

and I'm gonna show him

that we was right.

You changed into a mouse.

We're gonna show him that

the doctor was lying. Come on.

Aren't you going to come

upstairs with me? Come on.

This is a lot of

steps here, mousy.

Tubby, are you all right?

Can I do anything for you?

Yeah, give me

a piece of cheese.

Dr. Jekyll,

as Vicky's guardian...

I was wondering if you'd have

any objections to our marriage?

The question's

hardly necessary, Bruce.

Henry's always given me anything

that would make me happy.

Dr. Jekyll?

She has given you the answer.

There's nothing left for me to say.

Well, preparing for a wedding

is gonna keep me quite busy.

So if you'll excuse me,

I'd better run along.

I'll go with you. You can

drop me off at my flat.

Good day, Henry.

Good day, Dr. Jekyll.

One moment, my dear.

If you're going to be

married soon...

there are many things your

guardian should talk over with you.

Very well. I'll see you this evening, dear.

Good day, Doctor.

Good day.

What did you want to talk

over, Henry? Wedding plans.

What plans do you have

for Bruce and me? None.

You can't marry him,

you belong to me.

I've loved you ever since you were a child.

Every plan I ever made, I made for you.

Vicky, we could be happy together.

I can do everything for you.

We'll leave for Paris

tonight, tour the world.

You must be

out of your mind.

I'll not let you

marry anyone but me.

What are you going to do? I'm

going to turn him into a monster.

When I kill him, the police will

think I did it to save my darling ward.

I won't let you do it. Bruce!

Tubby was right.

You're capable of doing

everything he said you did.

You're cruel and inhuman.

You created the monster.

I'm going to tell the police.

You're the monster!

Vicky's in trouble.

Hurry up.

Vicky!

Now let him go.

Vicky, are you all right? Yes.

Good, you stay here where you're

safe. You fellows come with me.

Hey, I heard a sound

come from over there.

Sounds like something

down here.

There he goes!

There he goes!

You've got to stop the monster

before he kills again.

He's in the neighborhood

of Dr. Jekyll's house.

Hurry.

Very well, miss.

I'll send a squad right over.

Stevens, take your men into the East

End. They're chasing the monster there.

We shall show the world

that we're the stronger sex.

From now on, we shall go

forward and not retreat.

I will be your leader.
