Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy Page #2

make a date with me?

You think I'll tell you

I live at...

42-42-54 Ruelle Padle,

Apartment 2B?

You think I'm going to tell you I

am not married, I live by myself...

and that my phone number

is 23-41-648?

Oh. Just because I work

in the cafe, I do my act...

And if you dare

to follow me home...

here's my card.

Hey, wait a minute.

What is this all about?

No, lady.

I don't think I can.

No, lady, I can't.

No, lady,

I don't think I can.

Hey, Abbott, what's

she saying? Maybe I can.

Oh.

Lou, I'm surprised at you.

Accepting a card from a

perfect stranger, a lady...

with her address and her

telephone number on it.

Give me that card.

I'll get rid of it.

Extra! Read all about it!

Dr. Zoomer found murdered!

Here you are, boy.

I'll take one of those.

There you are.

You!

What's the matter with him?

He must have saw something.

"The noted archeologist Dr. Gustav

Zoomer was found murdered in his home...

"and the famous mummy

Klaris stolen.

"The police expect to take the

murderer into custody any minute...

"thanks to some pictures sent

by an anonymous friend.

"For balance of story

and photo, see Page 3."

Hey, you know, those pictures that

you took may solve this murder.

I...

Hey, look at these pictures

you took.

You took me

with Dr. Zoomer.

What have you got to say?

Believe me, he looks better

than you do. Why, you...

Uh-oh.

The kid is

tipping off the cops.

Let's see if there's

a back way out of here.

The newsboy said

this gentleman was here.

Which gentleman?

The one that's alive.

Which one is alive?

The big one.

Have you seen him?

This has been a busy day.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Sit down

and play your flute.

Alms.

Keep playing!

Alms.

Hey, you sit over here.

Alms.

Blow that thing.

They're watching us.

Stop blowing.

What happened?

You got me in enough trouble.

Lay down.

Do you think

this is safe?

We have no choice.

If they didn't bring Klaris out,

then he must still be in there...

and so is

the sacred medallion.

We've got to get it

before they come back.

If they do come back, watch

out for the baby-faced guy.

He's a killer.

He's probably the leader.

We'll take no chances with him.

Now they say that a murderer always

returns to the scene of his crime.

Now we're going inside.

Turn on the recorder...

and when the murderer

hears Dr. Zoomer's voice...

naturally, he's going to

investigate.

Then what do we do?

Run.

No! We grab him. Come on.

Come on.

Press the recorder for a

playback. I'll look around.

Should anyone come in,

call me.

Yeah. I'll tell you

what I'll do.

Hey, Bud, if anybody comes in,

I'm gonna call you fast, because...

He's here.

Who?

Behind me.

That's your reflection!

Look, why don't you

be a man?

Be brave!

Be tough like me.

Be tough like you?

Be tough like me!

Nothing scares me.

Nothing scares me!

Nothing scares me!

Be brave. Be tough.

Nothing scares me.

I can't be tough.

I would if I could.

I'm gonna find out.

This is a gun!

And I'm gonna use it.

Put your hands up

or I'll fill you full of lead!

Back up!

Back up!

Back up!

I'm gonna see

if I'm really tough now.

This is a gun!

And I'm gonna use it.

Put your hands up

or I'll fill you full of lead!

Back up!

Back up!

Don't shoot.

Please don't shoot.

Hey, Buddy, it's me.

Why, you...

Now stop

playing around.

I've gotta clear myself

of this murder rap.

We'll search

the trophy room.

Hide.

A lot of these old houses

had secret doors and passages.

When you knocked

on anything...

you never knew what would happen,

or what you were going to find.

Come in.

Who are you talking to?

Somebody knocking at the door.

It's me knocking.

Did you push me?

Certainly not.

You're imagining things again.

What have you got there?

It's a piggy bank.

Piggy bank?

Yep.

Hey.

What's that?

Finders keepers.

Charlie, Josef,

get the medallion!

Hey, there's no latch on the

door. Come on, move this over.

Keep pushing.

Attaboy.

Yes, sir.

Help!

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Hold it!

What are we gonna do now?

Go over to that door.

As soon as I give you

the signal, open it up.

Grab him. He's the murderer!

Are you sure this is the murderer?

We've been looking for a tall guy.

That's his partner. This is

the one who pulled the trigger.

We heard him say he shot the body

three times and the head twice.

Phone for the patrol.

This is a gun!

And I'm gonna use it.

Put your hands up

or I'll fill you full of lead!

Back up!

Back up!

Back up!

Back up!

He tricked us.

At least I know where to

look for the medallion.

We'll search till we find

him. Remember, he's dangerous.

So am I.

We have located the medallion.

It is in the possession

of a short, fat foreigner.

Take it away

from him.

So you do not fail,

I will go with you.

You know, if all those people

are after this gadget...

there must be some connection

between this and Dr. Zoomer's murder.

Right?

Right.

Right. Now, there's only one

way to find out if it's valuable.

That's to try

and hock it, right?

Right.

Come on.

Here, it's too big.

Come on, get in.

Yes, gentlemen?

What can I do for you?

How much can we get on this?

No! No! It is evil!

It's a curse! Take it away!

Protect me!

Protect me

from the curse of Klaris!

It means death!

Take it away!

There's something wrong

with him.

Let's find another place.

Are you two gentlemen the

proprietors? No, we're customers.

The proprietor

left in a hurry.

All we did was show him this... Take

it away! Don't show it to me, please!

Protect me! Protect me! Take

it away! Don't let me look!

Don't let me look! Protect me

from the curse of Klaris, please!

Ain't you scared?

Well, of course not. It's only a

valueless piece of costume jewelry.

But, of course, if you

need money... How much?

Would $100 help you?

You mean $100 for this?

Well, no, it's not

worth that, but...

it would always remind me

of you.

Well, let's make the price

$5,000 so you don't forget me.

Even if I was

willing to pay $5,000...

it's too large an amount

to carry around with me.

Where do you want to

make the payoff?

Suppose we talk it over

at the Cafe Bagdad at 6:00.

The name is Madame Rontru.

I'll be there.

Good.

I'll be there, too.

I can hardly wait.

$5,000.

Oh, boy!

I'll have to figure

this thing out.

$5,000 will take us

to the States.

Now I gotta figure out

the fare.

Let's see,

a first-class ticket for me...

third-class ticket for you.

A new suit of clothes

for me.

Of course you'll have to

have your shoes shined.

I'll have to buy some expensive

gifts to take home to the folks.

You can send home

a couple of postcards.

Excuse me, I owe you a thousand

apologies for my unwarranted behavior.

I will buy the medallion.

I'm sorry,

we have another buyer.

And she's

prettier than you are.

And tonight I'm gonna

meet her at the Cafe Bagdad.

Hetsut. Iben

We'll wait for darkness.

You came a long way

from St. Louis

You climbed the ladder
