YOU DEAD SURE YOU

DIDN'T TRAIN IT THAT WAY?

QUITE SURE,

MR. ARISTOTLE.

WELL, WHA DO YOU KNOW?

I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF BATHTUBS,

BUT I NEVER WATCHED HOW THE WATER RAN.

DID YOU, EMILY?

NO.

GET IN:

OH.

I'M JUST CRAZY

FOR THE OCEAN.

IT'S SO

KIND OF SIMPLE.

SIMPLE AND DUMB.

BUT IN:

A CUTE WAY, HARRY.

I MEAN, ONE LITTLE WAVE PILES

ON TOP OF THE OTHER LITTLE WAVE,

AND THE FISH:

JUST SWIM AROUND.

WHAT MAKES I SO BLACK OUT?

TOO MANY WOMEN HAVE BEEN CRYING INTO IT.

OH...

YEAH, WOMEN CRY

IN THE DARK.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE OCEAN BLACK.

HASN'T HE GO THE WEIRDEST IDEAS?

PATTERSON:

AND EINSTEIN.

I DON'T CARE FOR THE OCEAN

WHEN IT LOOKS SO BLACK.

WELL, THAT'S

EASILY FIXED.

HOW?

WELL, JUST BAIL

ALL THE TEARS:

BACK INTO ALL THE WOMEN

WHO HAVE EVER CRIED.

NOW, YOU KNOW, THAT'S

A BRILLIANT THOUGHT.

THE TRUTH IS, IT'S THE

MEN WHO DO ALL THE CRYING.

MORE TRIPE:

OUT OF BOOKS!

YOU TWO START FIGHTIN'

AGAIN, I'LL JUMP OUT.

SHE STARTED IT.

OH, I WON'T SAY

ANOTHER WORD.

THANKS.

CLANG CLANG CLANG WENT THE TROLLEY

DING DING DING:

WENT THE BELL:

THERE IT IS,

HARRY.

HMM.

EMILY, WAKE UP.

NOT BAD. HOW'D YOU

GET AHOLD OF IT, EMILY?

MY FOLKS LEFT IT TO ME-THE

OLD HOMESTEAD, YOU KNOW?

TURN HERE, HARRY,

IT'S JUS A HEADACHE, HARRY.

I'VE BEEN AFTER EM A LONG

TIME TO SELL THE THING.

WHO'S BUYING IT?

AND I HAD ONE TELEPHONE

CALL FROM A MR. BUCKLEY.

I'M SORRY

I'M LATE.

NOT AT ALL.

WE LOOKED AROUND,

BUT IT ISN' QUITE WHAT WE WANT.

OH, THE PLACE

LOOKS SHABBY,

BUT PEOPLE WITH TASTE COULD

MAKE THINGS VERY CHARMING.

YES, YES, IT DOES

HAVE POSSIBILITIES.

MISS SEARS,

MRS. BUCKLEY.

HOW DO YOU DO?

AND LOOK AROUND A BIT.

THANK YOU, MISS SEARS.

I'LL CALL YOU.

THANK YOU.

DO YOU KNOW:

WHAT I THINK?

THERE'S ONLY ONE

SNAKE ON THIS FARM.

AW, THEY WASN' GONNA BUY.

WHY, IT'D BE A CRIME TO SELL A

FARM LIKE THIS FOR A DUDE RANCH.

YES, SIR! GOOD,

RICH DIRT! SMELL IT!

WELL, YOU COULD

GROW FOOD HERE,

NOT A CROP OF FAT DAMES,

TORTURIN' HORSES,

WASTIN' WATER

IN A FANCY POOL!

YES, SIR! GOOD, RICH DIR THAT AIN'T DOIN' ITS JOB!

IF YOU'RE

SO FOND OF DIRT,

YOU CAN BUY THIS FARM

AT A BIG BARGAIN.

AN IDEA, HARRY.

OH, NO, NOT ME.

I'M SHIPPIN' OUT.

THIS IS A PROPOSITION FOR SOME GUY

WHO WANTS TO GET MARRIED, SETTLE DOWN,

AND HAVE:

A LOT OF KIDS.

WELL, THA COULDN'T BE YOU.

FARMER LUDLOW. DON'T WORRY.

HE'S CRAZY

ABOUT HIS CHICKENS.

LET'S TAKE

A PEEK AT 'EM.

IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING

CHICKENS ARE SURE

DOING NICE ON THAT CORN, EFFY.

WELL, YOU CAN

GIVE 'EM ALL MY SHARE.

I DON'T KNOW

WHY CORN EVER GROWS!

Mrs. Ludlow

And I don't like

Mrs. Ludlow.

Mr. Ludlow?

Mmm mmm!

Mean.

Mmm.

Oh!

Can you imitate

a rooster?

Now, look here!

If you think-

Can you imitate

a rooster?

I think so.

I- I never tried,

but if

Farmer Ludlow-

Never mind

Farmer Ludlow.

Make like

a rooster.

What for?

Want to catch us

a hen.

Well, I bet

it won't work, but...

here goes.

COCK-A-DOODLE-DO!

COCK-A-DOODLE-DO!

I thought you said

we'd catch us a hen.

We will, but

hens are realists.

No hen would come running

for a rooster she can't see.
