Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy Page #3

---

of success

I've seen the town and country

cars that were parked out in front

Of your fancy address

You came a long way

from St. Louis

You broke

a lot of hearts between

I've met a gang

of gloomy gals who were

Doing all right

till you came on the scene

You blew in from the middle

west and certainly impressed

the population hereabouts

But, honey, I've got news

for you I'm from Missouri, too

So naturally,

I've got my doubts

You've got them

dropping by the wayside

A feeling

I ain't gonna know

You came a long way

from St. Louis

But, baby, you still got

a long way to go

You blew in

from the middle west

And certainly impressed

the population hereabouts

But, honey,

I've got news for you

I'm from Missouri, too, and

naturally, I've got my doubts

You've got them dropping

by the wayside

A feeling

I ain't gonna know

You came a long way

from St. Louis

But, baby you still got

a long way to go

You've got

a long way to go

You got a long way to go

No, you don't.

Well, I don't see her.

Maybe we're too early.

Well, I've got enough money

for hamburgers and coffee.

And after we

sell the medallion...

we'll have

steaks and potatoes.

Come on, let's sit down.

Waiter.

Two hamburgers

and two coffees, please.

Yes, sir. Very well, sir.

Hey, this is a good time to get

the lowdown on that fake jewelry...

before we make a deal

with that dame.

Waiter.

Does this mean

anything to you?

It means death.

Death to whoever holds it.

Hey.

You better get rid of that medallion.

You heard what the waiter said:

"It's death to

whoever holds it. "

Mmm-hmm.

You know, Lou...

I think it was the medallion that caused

those characters to throw the knives at us.

You're so right.

Boy, am I glad

I feel good.

Flowers?

Flowers.

How much are those flowers?

$1.

How much are these?

$1.

I ain't got no money.

No money?

Uh-uh.

They're a little wilted, you

can have them for nothing.

Sorry, sir. When you put

the flower on my tray...

you accidentally

put this jewelry on it.

Oh, no.

I will bring the coffee later.

Okay.

Lou.

Isn't that

a beautiful girl over there?

Abbott, I believe this girl

over here is much prettier.

Wait a minute. How can

you compare this girl...

with that gorgeous creature

over there?

Why, it's ridiculous.

Just a minute.

I still believe that that girl

over there is much prettier.

I still say that girl

over there...

is the prettiest girl

in the place.

Would you mind

if I try yours?

Sorry to have

kept you waiting.

I have a private dining room

just for us.

Well, that's mighty nice of you. Not you.

I prefer to deal direct.

Come, little man.

You brought the medallion?

May I see it?

I see you want

your money first.

It's warm in here.

Let me have your coat.

I'll put some soft music on.

What's the matter?

Termites.

You're seeing things.

Come over here. Sit down.

Make yourself comfortable.

There, and I'll fix us

some refreshments.

Isn't that head

a scary thing?

You know, they say that animal

devoured a man just before they shot it.

And when they stuffed him,

they forgot to pull the guy out.

No, you don't.

I'll take care of this.

I'll hang it up myself, that

way I'll know everything is...

Give me this thing.

Why are you leaving?

Pickpockets.

You must be mistaken.

There's no one here but us.

What about this guy over here?

You see,

it's only a statue.

Apparently,

you don't trust me.

So here's your money.

Thank you.

Light?

Yes.

See how honest I am?

Get out of here.

I've had enough

of this nonsense. Charlie!

Josef!

I want that medallion.

Can't give it to you.

Why not?

I ate it.

You ate it?

With ketchup.

The police have arrested Hetsut

for the murder of Dr. Zoomer.

Then they no longer blame

the tall foreigner?

Not after the autopsy.

It showed the infidel Doctor died from

a poisoned dart imbedded in his ear.

So Hetsut put the noose

around his own neck.

Let him hang.

What about the two

that have the medallion?

They were taken to the house

of Dr. Azzui.

In that case,

I shall visit the Doctor.

You may as well put away

the gun. I will not help you.

My dear Doctor, I spent

many months as a nurse.

I'm fully capable of handling

either an X-ray or a fluoroscope.

Take care of him, Charlie.

Take off your coat

and unbutton your shirt.

Yes, ma'am.

Please don't cut me up.

Don't get excited.

I just want to look at you...

through the fluoroscope to see

if you're telling the truth.

Get behind there. No!

Turn out the lights, Charlie.

A marble, a couple of

buttons, a safety pin...

I lost a tie clasp two years

ago. See if it's in there.

Shut up.

What are those letters

of the alphabet?

They're from the necklace Dr.

Zoomer used to hold the medallion.

Those letters don't prove

he ate the medallion.

The only way to find

out is to cut him open.

No. Maybe if you stand me on

my head, it might fall out.

That's an idea,

but I've got a better one.

Turn on the lights.

Now what?

Shake him up a bit.

That's enough.

Get behind there.

Turn off the lights.

Lights.

Little man, if you've lied to me

about that medallion, you'll regret it.

Let's stop fooling

and cut him open.

No, don't. Shake me up

once more. I know it's there.

All right. Just once more,

but that's final.

You, help shake him up.

If you think I'm gonna help

shake up my pal...

you're right.

Grab his feet.

Pick him up.

Abbott!

Don't let him get away.

Grab the table.

All right, get him down.

What good is the x-ray?

We can't read hieroglyphics.

We'll get someone

to translate them.

I'll answer it.

You stay here

and watch them.

I told you to watch those two

men. What are you doing here?

I came to warn you that someone

else is after the medallion.

Go in there with Charlie.

I'm looking

for two gentlemen.

A pawnbroker friend

of mine told me...

they had a rare medallion

to dispose of.

If you'll tell me why you're

interested in the medallion...

I'll tell you whether or not

they're here.

As a student of archaeology,

I am interested in any object...

which deals

with ancient history.

Could you read

hieroglyphics, Mister...

Professor Semu.

As I told you,

I'm a student.

I shall be happy to lend my

humble assistance, Madame...

Rontru.

Wait here a minute,

please.

He says he can read the hieroglyphics.

We've got to take a chance.

I wouldn't trust him. Suppose he

reads the secret and then disappears.

That's exactly what

I'm planning on.

Here's an x-ray.

The sacred medallion of Ara.

What an extraordinary place

to keep it.

But a safe place. It would

be difficult to steal it.

Quite.

However, the x-ray of the

hieroglyphics reveals the way...

to the untold wealth

of Ara.

"Past the pyramid...

"near the ruins of an old

temple, is a large rock. "

With my knowledge of the desert,

I could prove a valuable guide.

For how much?

I will leave that up to you.

I'm sure you will be generous.

When would you like to

start our expedition?
