Rick.

Rick? Rick? Rick.

Well, where you two been?

Where you been?

And where did you get the money

to pay the rent?

Oh, I've arrived, boy. I've arrived.

It's me and Rembrandt now.

We're neck-and-neck. Look.

- Oh, you sold the painting!

- Oh, Rick, that's wonderful.

That was nothing.

Matter of fact, I feel another

masterpiece coming on right now.

What is it, curly top?

Well, I feel

a little ashamed of myself, Rick.

I thought you got the money

for doing a comic book for Mr. Murdock.

Here. That's from Mrs. Muldoon,

and that's from me.

Thanks.

Jury still out on you?

Not guilty.

Hey! Cute characters.

Your boyfriend has a story idea

for children's books.

- I'm going to illustrate them.

- My boyfriend?

He's up to his ears with the Bat Lady.

Well, you should have told him

it was you.

I wanted him to go for me,

not for some costume you dreamed up.

Well, you weren't wearing a costume

when he kissed you.

You weren't wearing a costume

when he kissed you.

But I told you,

he thought it was you coming back.

You just be patient.

He'll stop those crazy dreams

and see you for your own charming self.

Our song.

All right, you said that. Okay, you said it.

Dream louder. Louder.

Vincent flaps his feeble wings

as he tries to fly back

to his space station

before Zuba gets to him.

She looks across the water

with her lavender eye

and then moves in for the kill.

Lavender eyes? You said purple eyes.

One lavender, one purple

and one magenta.

Three eyes?

One in the back, like a rear-view mirror.

And she uses her beautiful body

like a pair of pontoons.

She sails across the jungle swamp,

ready to sink her fangs

into Vincent's jungular veins

so that she can get away

with his secret power formula,

X34 minus 5R1 plus 6-X36.

Oh, boy.

Bessie?

What do you suppose

the stars would say about Rick?

I've taken up numerology.

I'm off the stars.

They made me flip my Little Dipper

and fall for a guy

who's in love with the lady in black.

I'll gonna tell him you're the Bat Lady.

Oh, no, you don't. I don't want to wear

a mask the rest of my life.

Some honeymoon,

with a pair of wings on my back.

How's the numerology working out?

You know, numerology's a science.

I take the numbers,

the day, the month and the year

that I was born.

I add to the day, the month

and the year that Eugene was born.

And that answer,

I divide with my street address,

then I add that

to my Social Security Number,

and with that answer, I divide

Eugene's Social Security Number.

Then I mutiply that by the number

of dancing lessons I take,

and the number of calories

I eat in one day, I subtract from that,

and then I multiply the whole thing,

by now tall I am, and that's the answer.

- How does it work out?

- Zero. Eugene again.

That still doesn't help me with Rick.

Could be

you're in love with Rick, maybe.

Oh, Bessie, you don't fall in love with

someone you've only seen a few times.

I guess I'd better put some oil on you.

You're going to burn.

You have strong hands.

Bessie?

I wonder if he really likes me.

I bet if he had the chance,

he couldn't keep his hands off you.

I love this song. Listen.

If our lips should meet

Innamorata

Kiss me, kiss me sweet

Innamorata

Hold me close and say you're mine

With a love as warm as wine

I'm at heaven's door

Innamorata

Want you more and more

Innamorata

You're a symphony

A very beautiful sonata

My innamorata

Say that you're my sweetheart

My love

- Bessie?

- Yeah?

Who's that singer? He sounds like Rick.

Oh, you know, he's the fellow that had

that big record on "That's Amore".

You remember, the one...

How can you be rubbing my back

from way over there?

Oh!

I don't sing as good as he does,

but I'm trying.

Yes, he...

Strong voice and very strong hands.

You're breathing heavy again.

I should have brought along

my stethoscope.

Oh, you're a doctor, too?

I think I could prescribe something.

Like a chiropractor treatment, no doubt.

A little pink pill that says

you can fall in love with someone

you've only seen a few times.

If our lips should meet

Innamorata

kiss me, kiss me sweet

Innamorata

There. Now, how's that for Freddie?

Oh, he looks just like

I dreamed he would. He's cute.

He looks like you, Eugene.

No, I'm not cute.

They wanted to have me drowned

when I was born,

but the SPCA stopped them.

I know somebody else

that thinks you're cute.

Oh, you mean your Bat Lady model?

I can't wait to meet her.

You will. She'll be dancing

at the Artists and Models Ball.

You'll meet her then.

Oh, you mean she dances, too,

like Bessie?

- Almost exactly like Bessie.

- Oh.

Now, how about trying

that Goosey Goose pose again?

Oh, okay.

Okay, Anita. Take five.

- How's it going?

- Oh, pretty good.

You've changed.

Now when I pose for you,

all you do is draw.

Rick! Rick! Rick!

- Oh, yes.

- Come on. Please hurry.

Is that why you've changed?

You change. Go get dressed.

Come back tomorrow, the same time.

It's Eugene. He was posing for me.

I think it's his sacroiliac.

He can't straighten up.

Come on, quick! He can't straighten up.

Good afternoon,

Eureka Massage Parlour.

Our rub and steam

will make you dream.

Just a minute, I'll check.

Bring him right in here. Right in here.

Yes, we can take you

this afternoon at 5:30. Bye.

We don't need

your assistance now, son.

Just put him down.

Now, you run and have some alfalfa tea.

We'll have him all fixed up in no time.

- Think nothing of it.

- Easy.

- Hurt?

- No.

A little tougher than I thought.

What have you been eating, anyway?

Your diet's all wrong.

All fixed up.

Oh, easy. Easy, please.

Oh, pain. Oh, plenty of pain.

Oh, I gotta get new soles.

Oh, easy. Easy.

Anyone for taffy?

Wait, no.

Wait a second. No, lady.

Look, get this foot...

No, wait. This... Oh, my leg's falling off.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Wait, just hold everything.

One second, please.

Lady, one second. Rick. Rick!

Wait one... My friend will...

- Rick!

- What is it?

Here, you better get...

- We're in trouble a little here.

- You're in trouble? Well, I'll help.

Yeah, why don't you

put your foot under hers?

Brace her foot up. That's it, that's it.

- Just put your foot... Yeah.

- Under her?

- Sit here, Rick, by leaning back.

- All right.

That's it. Good.

- That way?

Herbert Baker

Sir Herbert Baker (9 June 1862 – 4 February 1946) was an English architect remembered as the dominant force in South African architecture for two decades, and a major designer of some of New Delhi's most notable government structures. He was born and died at Owletts in Cobham, Kent. Among the many churches, schools and houses he designed in South Africa are the Union Buildings in Pretoria, St. Andrew's College, Grahamstown, St. John's College, Johannesburg, the Wynberg Boys' High School, Groote Schuur in Cape Town, and the Champagne Homestead and Rhodes Cottage on Boschendal, between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. With Edwin Lutyens he was instrumental in designing, among other buildings, the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament and North and South Blocks of the Secretariat, all in New Delhi, which in 1931 became the capital of the British Raj and later of the Republic of India. He also designed the administration building at the then Prince of Wales School in Nairobi, Kenya now known as Nairobi School. His tomb is in Westminster Abbey. more…
