how I could have made such a mistake.

1513

01:
22:30,344 -- 01:22:34,075

To say such things to a woman.

You'll have to forgive me.

1514

01:
22:34,649 -- 01:22:36,742

Don't apologize, Pottsy.

1515

01:
22:37,218 -- 01:22:39,482

It was illuminating.

1516

01:
22:43,090 -- 01:22:44,523

Professor Potts!

1517

01:
22:46,594 -- 01:22:49,995

- Somebody is calling me.

- Are they?

1518

01:
22:52,133 -- 01:22:54,067

Maybe it's just as well.

1519

01:
22:54,135 -- 01:22:56,160

- Professor Potts!

- Professor Potts!

1520

01:
22:57,672 -- 01:22:59,162

I'll be back.

1521

01:
23:12,286 -- 01:23:13,981

- Were you calling me?

- Yes, we were, Potts.

1522

01:
23:14,055 -- 01:23:16,182

Potts, something has come up.

1523

01:
23:16,257 -- 01:23:18,020

- Yes, well...

- Well, what?

1524

01:
23:18,926 -- 01:23:22,862

- You better tell him, Martin.

- Maybe he'd better tell him.

1525

01:
23:22,930 -- 01:23:24,329

- Who?

- Potts.

1526

01:
23:26,400 -- 01:23:27,560

There's a gentleman here. No.

1527

01:
23:27,635 -- 01:23:28,727

There's a man here. No.

1528

01:
23:28,803 -- 01:23:32,068

- Four men, four men inside.

- Yes, they'll tell you.

1529

01:
23:41,749 -- 01:23:45,446

- Well, what...

- So you're the bridegroom?

1530

01:
23:45,519 -- 01:23:48,886

- Yes. This is Professor Potts.

- How are you, Bertram?

1531

01:
23:50,324 -- 01:23:53,157

I thought

you'd look like these other squats,

1532

01:
23:53,227 -- 01:23:55,821

only with a beard and pea soup on it.

1533

01:
23:56,297 -- 01:23:58,822

What about me evoked

this interest on your part?

1534

01:
23:58,899 -- 01:24:01,663

- Sounds like it was engraved, don't it?

- Yeah.

1535

01:
24:01,736 -- 01:24:05,069

- What is this all about?

- It's about Sugarpuss.

1536

01:
24:05,139 -- 01:24:09,132

- Perhaps if we talked to him...

- There's been too many detours as is.

1537

01:
24:09,210 -- 01:24:12,771

Maybe you recognize my voice, Bertram,

do you?

1538

01:
24:15,616 -- 01:24:17,243

How's your sinus?

1539

01:
24:18,986 -- 01:24:21,682

- You're not her father.

- You're getting warm.

1540

01:
24:21,756 -- 01:24:22,745

I'm her daddy.

1541

01:
24:22,823 -- 01:24:23,812

(GANGSTER LAUGHING)

1542

01:
24:23,891 -- 01:24:24,880

Shut up.

1543

01:
24:25,359 -- 01:24:28,351

I believe I'm entitled to some clarification.

1544

01:
24:30,197 -- 01:24:31,391

So am I.

1545

01:
24:41,609 -- 01:24:42,906

Lipstick.

1546

01:
24:47,148 -- 01:24:48,877

What are you doing?

1547

01:
24:50,618 -- 01:24:52,449

Calm down now, Wimpy.

1548

01:
24:57,091 -- 01:24:59,685

I was kind of counting on Sugarpuss

to tell you the score.

1549

01:
24:59,760 -- 01:25:03,093

Trouble is she's all right giving out

with the twists and the wise cracks.

1550

01:
25:03,164 -- 01:25:04,756

When it comes to leveling off,

she gets chicken.

1551

01:
25:04,832 -- 01:25:07,528

He's trying to say that our wedding trip

was nothing but a vast lie.

1552

01:
25:07,601 -- 01:25:09,296

A vast lie?

1553

01:
25:09,370 -- 01:25:10,894

Don't you believe it, Bertram.

1554

01:
25:10,971 -- 01:25:13,940

There's going to be a wedding all right,

with Sugarpuss the bride.

1555

01:
25:14,008 -- 01:25:15,032

Only I'm the bridegroom.

1556

01:
25:15,109 -- 01:25:16,098

(LAUGHING)

1557

01:
25:16,443 -- 01:25:17,501

Shake it off.

1558

01:
25:19,713 -- 01:25:23,444

I certainly do appreciate the way

you guys delivered a hot cargo.

1559

01:
25:24,952 -- 01:25:27,352

She was to be handled with care.

1560

01:
25:27,421 -- 01:25:32,984

- Potts, it seems that your bride to be...

- His bride. That's a laugh.

1561

01:
25:33,828 -- 01:25:38,026

It seems that Sugarpuss has used us

to circumvent the police.

1562

01:
25:38,098 -- 01:25:41,465

- We serving as protective coloration.

- PROFESSOR:
Yes.

1563

01:
25:41,535 -- 01:25:42,729

I don't believe it.

1564

01:
25:42,803 -- 01:25:45,135

Professor, you really thought

she was going to marry you

1565

01:
25:45,206 -- 01:25:48,175

with your $3,000 what-was-it a year?

1566

01:
25:48,242 -- 01:25:50,972

She spends that much

for having her toenails painted.

1567

01:
25:51,045 -- 01:25:53,775

She sulks if she has to wear

last year's ermine.

1568

01:
25:56,450 -- 01:25:58,884

He don't believe it. Look at him.

1569

01:
25:59,854 -- 01:26:03,381

All right. Suppose you go tell Sugarpuss

Daddy's here.

1570

01:
26:07,728 -- 01:26:09,525

Joe Lilac's the name.

1571

01:
26:21,208 -- 01:26:23,335

Professor Potts! Professor Potts!

1572

01:
26:23,410 -- 01:26:24,900

- Why, Miss Bragg.

- Is it too late?

1573

01:
26:24,979 -- 01:26:26,742

Have you married that girl?

She knocked me out.

1574

01:
26:26,814 -- 01:26:28,714

Nine hours in a closet.

Something told me all along.

1575

01:
26:28,782 -- 01:26:30,477

Hold the phone, sister.

1576

01:
26:30,551 -- 01:26:31,711

We traced you through your accident.

1577

01:
26:31,785 -- 01:26:34,549

There's a warrant from the DA's office

for this girlfriend of Lilac's.

1578

01:
26:34,622 -- 01:26:36,112

Where is she?

1579

01:
26:58,412 -- 01:27:00,937

There's a Mr. Lilac waiting for you.

1580

01:
27:01,548 -- 01:27:02,640

Yeah.

1581

01:
27:03,584 -- 01:27:07,076

The situation has been explained to me

in simple terms.

1582

01:
27:07,655 -- 01:27:12,752

You don't have to worry about the police.

I told them you and he left a half hour ago.

1583

01:
27:12,826 -- 01:27:14,623

Probably were in Trenton by now.

1584

01:
27:14,695 -- 01:27:17,129

- Thanks, Pottsy.

- Thanks for what?

1585

01:
27:17,731 -- 01:27:21,565

You've given us all a fine course in

the theory and practice of being a sucker.

1586

01:
27:21,635 -- 01:27:24,103

It was a very small tuition fee.

1587

01:
27:24,171 -- 01:27:26,366

Perhaps it wasn't quite worthy

of you choosing us

1588

01:
27:26,440 -- 01:27:29,068

as subjects of your demonstration.

1589

01:
27:29,777 -- 01:27:33,338

Eight pushovers,

like shooting fish in a barrel.

1590

01:
27:34,682 -- 01:27:35,671

I...

1591

01:
27:36,383 -- 01:27:39,011

I didn't want you to get it this way.

1592

01:
27:39,553 -- 01:27:41,418

Not right in the face.

1593

01:
27:42,723 -- 01:27:44,156

I've been...

1594

01:
27:45,292 -- 01:27:48,784

I've been sitting here

trying to write you a letter.

1595

01:
27:48,862 -- 01:27:50,853

Here are all my excuses.

1596

01:
27:54,601 -- 01:27:58,503

The handwriting of a...

What would be your word for it?

1597

01:
28:05,512 -- 01:28:06,809

A tramp.

1598

01:
28:30,337 -- 01:28:32,965

- Good morning, Miss Bragg.

- Good morning, gentlemen.

1599

01:
28:33,040 -- 01:28:35,565

What about some nice hot breakfast?

I made some Parker House rolls.

1600

01:
28:35,642 -- 01:28:37,439

- No, thank you.

- Even have some jam.

1601

01:
28:37,511 -- 01:28:38,876

Strawberry jam, Professor Oddly.

1602

01:
28:38,946 -- 01:28:40,937

Thank you, Miss Bragg,

but I don't think so.

1603

01:
28:41,015 -- 01:28:42,949

- Nobody wants any breakfast?
