Closer.

542

00:
30:53,117 -- 00:30:55,085

Come on, give.

543

00:
30:55,153 -- 00:30:57,747

Hello, kids. Look down my throat.

544

00:
30:57,822 -- 00:30:59,414

Go on. Look down.

545

00:
30:59,490 -- 00:31:01,390

All right, right down there, look.

546

00:
31:01,459 -- 00:31:03,620

I don't know what to look for.

547

00:
31:03,695 -- 00:31:07,722

There is possibly a slight rosiness

in the laryngeal region.

548

00:
31:07,799 -- 00:31:09,289

Slight rosiness?

549

00:
31:09,367 -- 00:31:11,767

It's as red as the Daily Worker

and just as sore.

550

00:
31:11,836 -- 00:31:13,360

- Who are you?

- I'm...

551

00:
31:13,438 -- 00:31:14,598

Who is he?

552

00:
31:14,672 -- 00:31:18,108

This is Dr. Magenbruch,

our physiological expert.

553

00:
31:18,176 -- 00:31:20,007

This is Professor Robinson, law.

554

00:
31:20,078 -- 00:31:23,912

- Professor Gurkakoff...

- Not so fast. Just let it creep up on me.

555

00:
31:23,982 -- 00:31:25,381

I'll get to know them.

556

00:
31:25,450 -- 00:31:28,681

Come here, physiology.

For all I know, I've got a fever. Feel.

557

00:
31:28,753 -- 00:31:30,015

- It's possible.

- Certainly.

558

00:
31:30,088 -- 00:31:32,488

And he wants to throw me out on my tin.

559

00:
31:32,557 -- 00:31:35,321

There'll be no 9:30 for me

if you let me go out in the rain now.

560

00:
31:35,393 -- 00:31:36,417

Naturally not.

561

00:
31:36,494 -- 00:31:38,894

With the streets cold

and the subway hot and full of germs.

562

00:
31:38,963 -- 00:31:41,397

I'm a push-over for streptococcus.

563

00:
31:41,900 -- 00:31:44,494

- Can I have this now, kid?

- Pardon me.

564

00:
31:45,370 -- 00:31:48,669

We'll call you a heated taxi and furnish you

with woolen socks and warm slippers.

565

00:
31:48,740 -- 00:31:51,174

- How do you like that?

- Really, I don't understand you, Potts.

566

00:
31:51,242 -- 00:31:53,574

- Why take chances?

- With valuable material?

567

00:
31:53,645 -- 00:31:56,546

- You must think of your article, Potts.

- See, they get the point.

568

00:
31:56,614 -- 00:31:58,741

If I might venture a suggestion,

569

00:
31:58,850 -- 00:32:00,579

why couldn't the young lady

sleep in my room?

570

00:
32:00,652 -- 00:32:01,846

- What?

- What?

571

00:
32:01,920 -- 00:32:04,047

- Well!

- Professor Peagram!

572

00:
32:04,822 -- 00:32:06,756

I can bunk in with Professor Robinson.

573

00:
32:06,824 -- 00:32:08,655

I sometimes do

when there's an electric storm.

574

00:
32:08,726 -- 00:32:10,523

Yes, he's afraid of thunder.

575

00:
32:10,595 -- 00:32:12,927

Well, then it's all settled.

576

00:
32:12,997 -- 00:32:16,262

Well, I guess I'll turn in.

Can I have my coat?

577

00:
32:16,334 -- 00:32:18,928

- Of course.

- Thank you.

578

00:
32:19,003 -- 00:32:21,062

- Hi-de-ho, fellows.

- Hi-de-ho.

579

00:
32:21,906 -- 00:32:24,704

- I'll show you to my room.

- Yes, we all will go.

580

00:
32:24,776 -- 00:32:26,141

I know where my own room is, thank you,

581

00:
32:26,210 -- 00:32:28,303

- without any help from you.

- Why shouldn't... Why shouldn't...

582

00:
32:28,379 -- 00:32:31,041

I'll find it. Don't bother.

Just rough out the directions.

583

00:
32:31,115 -- 00:32:33,743

Top of the stairs

and the third door on the left.

584

00:
32:33,818 -- 00:32:35,683

Gentlemen, just a moment, please.

585

00:
32:35,753 -- 00:32:37,277

Gentlemen, this is all highly irregular.

586

00:
32:37,355 -- 00:32:39,482

What if this should come

to the attention of the Foundation?

587

00:
32:39,557 -- 00:32:40,922

And what about Miss Bragg tomorrow?

588

00:
32:40,992 -- 00:32:43,552

What are you talking about?

This is research, isn't it?

589

00:
32:43,628 -- 00:32:44,890

- Yes.

- Certainly.

590

00:
32:44,963 -- 00:32:47,693

Who was that guy learned so much

from watching an apple drop?

591

00:
32:47,765 -- 00:32:51,826

Isaac Newton, 1642 to 1727.

592

00:
32:51,903 -- 00:32:54,565

- The law of gravity.

- Yeah, that's him.

593

00:
32:55,139 -- 00:32:59,235

And I want you to look at me

as another apple, Professor Potts.

594

00:
32:59,310 -- 00:33:01,039

Just another apple.

595

00:
33:09,887 -- 00:33:11,752

It fits you like a glove,

you admit that, don't you?

596

00:
33:11,823 -- 00:33:15,122

I like a little more effect around

the shoulders, sort of a puffed sleeve.

597

00:
33:15,193 -- 00:33:18,754

- You know that JL could be Joe Lilac.

- Could be.

598

00:
33:19,297 -- 00:33:22,391

- Still claim it isn't yours?

- No, it isn't and never was.

599

00:
33:22,467 -- 00:33:25,493

Come on, loosen up, Joe.

It's 5:
00 in the morning.

600

00:
33:25,570 -- 00:33:27,902

How's about a little Benzedrine?

601

00:
33:27,972 -- 00:33:30,065

- Put it on Benny the Creep.

- Sure.

602

00:
33:30,141 -- 00:33:31,472

Take off your coat.

603

00:
33:31,542 -- 00:33:34,943

I should have brought along my valet.

I'm a sucker for comfort.

604

00:
33:35,013 -- 00:33:37,675

Why, don't worry, Joe.

You'll have your comfort.

605

00:
33:37,749 -- 00:33:42,152

We'll have platinum bars on your cell,

and we'll heat up a chair for you, special.

606

00:
33:42,253 -- 00:33:43,777

Twenty thousand volts.

607

00:
33:45,256 -- 00:33:46,518

AC or DC?

608

00:
33:50,261 -- 00:33:52,786

- So those are your pajamas, huh?

- Yep.

609

00:
33:53,631 -- 00:33:56,191

You always wear them

three sizes too big?

610

00:
33:56,267 -- 00:34:00,533

Allows for my chest expansion.

And my fingers get kind of chilly at night.

611

00:
34:00,605 -- 00:34:02,539

And the JL?

612

00:
34:03,775 -- 00:34:06,869

It stands for jellybean.

It stands for lollipop.

613

00:
34:08,179 -- 00:34:10,010

- Take him away.

- Come on.

614

00:
34:10,081 -- 00:34:12,208

That's fine. That's great.

615

00:
34:13,484 -- 00:34:16,647

You never heard of Benny the Creep.

Benny the Creep never heard of you.

616

00:
34:16,721 -- 00:34:18,985

There was no murder.

And there is no murder ring

617

00:
34:19,057 -- 00:34:22,288

with you at the control boards

pushing the buttons.

618

00:
34:22,827 -- 00:34:24,556

- Good morning, Joe.

- Hiya, McNeary?

619

00:
34:24,629 -- 00:34:26,790

Morning, and pardon my glove,

Mr. District Attorney.

620

00:
34:26,864 -- 00:34:28,491

Good morning.

621

00:
34:28,566 -- 00:34:33,003

- All right, I've got a writ of habeas corpus.

- I've forgotten my reading glasses.

622

00:
34:33,071 -- 00:34:35,232

Too bad. Come on, Joe.

623

00:
34:35,306 -- 00:34:37,297

May be a couple of days

before I find them.

624

00:
34:37,375 -- 00:34:40,503

- I won't stand for my client's...

- It's all right, McNeary.

625

00:
34:40,578 -- 00:34:42,546

The man's trying to clean up the city.

626

00:
34:42,613 -- 00:34:44,808

Why not give him

all the cooperation we can?

627

00:
34:44,882 -- 00:34:48,340

- Does that mean you're going to talk, Joe?

- What about?

628

00:
34:49,187 -- 00:34:51,712

Well, I'll make the pajamas talk.

629

00:
34:51,789 -- 00:34:53,780

Here's the sales slip for them.
