- What?

1691

01:
33:28,969 -- 01:33:32,837

- Louder, please.

- We're still talking it over.

1692

01:
33:32,906 -- 01:33:34,931

Good idea. Important step.

1693

01:
33:36,209 -- 01:33:39,701

- Hey, wait a minute. Where you going?

- For lunch. Five minutes late.

1694

01:
33:39,780 -- 01:33:43,773

- When are you going to be back?

- After I've ate and had my nap.

1695

01:
33:44,384 -- 01:33:46,784

How long are we gonna argue this?

1696

01:
33:47,454 -- 01:33:50,753

- Now look, Sugie.

- I said no. And no is no.

1697

01:
33:50,824 -- 01:33:53,952

Sugie, when I was nine years old,

I was in love with my piano teacher.

1698

01:
33:54,027 -- 01:33:56,825

She played classical.

You're not nine years old.

1699

01:
33:56,897 -- 01:33:57,886

I love him.

1700

01:
33:57,964 -- 01:34:00,432

- She loves him.

- Yes, I love him.

1701

01:
34:00,500 -- 01:34:03,594

I love those hick shirts he wears

with the boiled cuffs.

1702

01:
34:03,670 -- 01:34:05,831

And the way he always has

his vest buttoned wrong.

1703

01:
34:05,906 -- 01:34:08,374

Looks like a giraffe and I love him.

1704

01:
34:08,442 -- 01:34:09,841

I love him because he's the kind of a guy

1705

01:
34:09,910 -- 01:34:12,902

that gets drunk on a glass of buttermilk.

1706

01:
34:12,979 -- 01:34:16,380

And I love the way

he blushes right up over his ears.

1707

01:
34:17,617 -- 01:34:21,212

I love him because he doesn't know

how to kiss, the jerk.

1708

01:
34:22,022 -- 01:34:25,185

I love him, Joe.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

1709

01:
34:25,258 -- 01:34:27,249

I'll never see him again.

1710

01:
34:27,928 -- 01:34:30,294

But I'm not gonna marry you.

1711

01:
34:30,364 -- 01:34:32,491

Not if you tie a ton of cement

around my neck

1712

01:
34:32,566 -- 01:34:35,091

and throw me into the East River

like you did to all the others.

1713

01:
34:35,168 -- 01:34:36,999

- I tell you, Joe was framed.

- Oh, sure, sure.

1714

01:
34:37,070 -- 01:34:39,504

So you tell me, I know better now.

1715

01:
34:40,374 -- 01:34:43,036

I guess she'd better talk to her professor.

Get him on the phone.

1716

01:
34:43,110 -- 01:34:44,668

You leave him out of this.

1717

01:
34:44,745 -- 01:34:47,236

Imagine that big giraffe

at the bottom of the East River.

1718

01:
34:47,314 -- 01:34:49,578

You wouldn't like that to happen

to him, would you, Sugarpuss?

1719

01:
34:49,649 -- 01:34:52,083

- That ain't funny, McGee.

- Who said it's funny?

1720

01:
34:52,152 -- 01:34:53,744

I mean business.

1721

01:
34:54,488 -- 01:34:56,854

That is if you don't say "I do"

like a nice little bride.

1722

01:
34:56,923 -- 01:34:57,912

Uh-uh.

1723

01:
34:58,492 -- 01:35:01,893

I kind of figured you'd bumped your brains

into one of them pink clouds.

1724

01:
35:01,962 -- 01:35:04,726

- You can't do this, Joe.

- It's too late, Sugie.

1725

01:
35:04,798 -- 01:35:07,528

- The pressure's on already.

- What is this? Putting the screws on me?

1726

01:
35:07,601 -- 01:35:09,933

You said it,

and right where it'll do the most good.

1727

01:
35:10,003 -- 01:35:12,699

- Neighborhood of the heart.

- Hello.

1728

01:
35:12,773 -- 01:35:15,435

This is McNeary. Hang on. Here you are.

1729

01:
35:16,376 -- 01:35:17,775

You take it.

1730

01:
35:22,149 -- 01:35:24,014

- Hello?

- Hello, Sugie.

1731

01:
35:25,185 -- 01:35:26,948

Sure, it's Pastrami.

1732

01:
35:29,055 -- 01:35:30,989

Just dropped in on the boys,

Asthma and me,

1733

01:
35:31,057 -- 01:35:33,389

with our little old typewriters.

1734

01:
35:34,361 -- 01:35:36,090

That's up to the boss.

We're waiting for orders.

1735

01:
35:37,364 -- 01:35:40,094

- For orders?

- Can we make a deal now, Sugie?

1736

01:
35:40,834 -- 01:35:45,362

Sure we can, brother.

Put him on, Pastrami, just a word.

1737

01:
35:46,640 -- 01:35:49,370

Would you mind stepping

to the phone, Professor Potts?

1738

01:
35:49,443 -- 01:35:51,638

A lady friend of yours.

1739

01:
35:51,711 -- 01:35:54,339

I have nothing to say to Miss O'Shea.

1740

01:
35:55,015 -- 01:35:58,576

- Oh, please, please!

- You haven't?

1741

01:
35:58,652 -- 01:35:59,641

Just a moment.

1742

01:
35:59,719 -- 01:36:01,380

Goodness, this is awful.

Yesterday, a nightclub...

1743

01:
36:01,455 -- 01:36:03,116

Shut your clam, sister.

1744

01:
36:03,190 -- 01:36:04,350

Hello.

1745

01:
36:05,158 -- 01:36:08,286

Yes, Miss O'Shea, this is Professor Potts.

1746

01:
36:08,361 -- 01:36:10,226

Your friends are here.

1747

01:
36:10,864 -- 01:36:13,856

Not at all.

Your methods are familiar by now.

1748

01:
36:13,934 -- 01:36:16,494

I don't know the exact purpose

of this maneuver.

1749

01:
36:16,570 -- 01:36:19,038

What more can be gained from us?

1750

01:
36:19,105 -- 01:36:21,573

But I hope

that it works to your advantage.

1751

01:
36:22,642 -- 01:36:25,702

I'm sorry, Pottsy,

but it'll be all right in a little while.

1752

01:
36:25,779 -- 01:36:30,478

They won't hurt anybody.

Just don't do anything foolish.

1753

01:
36:30,550 -- 01:36:32,643

- Promise me, Pottsy.

- Give it.

1754

01:
36:35,589 -- 01:36:38,615

Okay, Bertram, put Pastrami back on.

1755

01:
36:39,259 -- 01:36:41,727

I imagine he wants to talk to you.

1756

01:
36:42,696 -- 01:36:44,027

Yes, boss?

1757

01:
36:44,698 -- 01:36:49,567

Okay, we'll wait for the call.

And best wishes, boss. Congratulations.

1758

01:
36:51,271 -- 01:36:55,002

Well, all we have to do

is to wait for the all-clear signal.

1759

01:
36:56,009 -- 01:36:59,342

We'll dismiss the class

right after the ceremony.

1760

01:
36:59,412 -- 01:37:02,973

- Did you say after the ceremony?

- That's what I said.

1761

01:
37:03,049 -- 01:37:04,448

You mean they're not married yet?

1762

01:
37:04,518 -- 01:37:06,349

Why do you think

we're futzing around with these?

1763

01:
37:06,419 -- 01:37:07,545

Well, I don't know, I thought...

1764

01:
37:07,621 -- 01:37:11,648

A little trouble with Sugarpuss'

vocal chords. Wouldn't say yes.

1765

01:
37:12,025 -- 01:37:14,516

She wouldn't say yes? What...

1766

01:
37:14,594 -- 01:37:16,027

You very ugly young man,

1767

01:
37:16,096 -- 01:37:18,826

you know, to me at this moment

you look perfectly delightful?

1768

01:
37:18,899 -- 01:37:20,457

- I mean absolutely beautiful.

- I what?

1769

01:
37:20,534 -- 01:37:22,058

- Positively wonderful.

- Are you nuts?

1770

01:
37:22,135 -- 01:37:24,296

(LAUGHING) No, I feel like yodeling.

1771

01:
37:24,371 -- 01:37:25,360

(YODELING)

1772

01:
37:26,873 -- 01:37:28,135

Pardon me.

1773

01:
37:28,208 -- 01:37:32,008

Dr. Gurkakoff,

my apologies to Professor Freud.

1774

01:
37:32,078 -- 01:37:33,340

Thank you.

1775

01:
37:33,413 -- 01:37:36,109

But you don't understand.

This visit is no longer a mystery.

1776

01:
37:36,182 -- 01:37:37,877

Apparently, it requires those two guns

1777

01:
37:37,951 -- 01:37:40,852

leveled on us

to force Sugarpuss to marry Mr. Lilac.

1778

01:
37:41,087 -- 01:37:42,520

- You mean to say that...
