630

00:
34:53,858 -- 00:34:56,918

They were bought by Miss O'Shea.

She bought them for you.

631

00:
34:56,994 -- 00:35:00,088

Or maybe you never heard of her.

Maybe she isn't your girlfriend.

632

00:
35:00,164 -- 00:35:04,362

- Why bring a lady's name into this?

- I'll bring the lady in herself.

633

00:
35:06,504 -- 00:35:09,371

Where do we stand with that O'Shea girl?

What?

634

00:
35:09,440 -- 00:35:10,839

What about the deputies?

635

00:
35:10,908 -- 00:35:12,535

All right, let me talk to Collins himself.

636

00:
35:12,610 -- 00:35:14,134

- What about the girl?

- Don't worry.

637

00:
35:14,212 -- 00:35:16,578

We've got her in safe deposit temporarily.

638

00:
35:16,647 -- 00:35:19,810

- Temporarily is not good enough.

- I've got something figured out.

639

00:
35:19,884 -- 00:35:21,977

- Nothing gloomy, I hope.

- Strictly legal.

640

00:
35:22,053 -- 00:35:23,577

A wife can't testify against her husband.

641

00:
35:23,654 -- 00:35:25,349

- She's not my wife.

- Not yet, she isn't.

642

00:
35:25,423 -- 00:35:27,653

But once they let you go,

we'll pull a fastie.

643

00:
35:27,725 -- 00:35:29,056

Of all the incompetent...

644

00:
35:29,127 -- 00:35:30,856

What sweetheart dreamed up that law?

645

00:
35:30,928 -- 00:35:34,989

Don't give me that. You've had six hours.

Tell those guys to get a jump on.

646

00:
35:37,768 -- 00:35:39,360

Having some trouble, Mr. DA?

647

00:
35:39,437 -- 00:35:40,768

Don't worry, Joe.

648

00:
35:40,838 -- 00:35:43,807

And don't underestimate this office

or the State of New York.

649

00:
35:43,875 -- 00:35:46,935

I've got some boys

that can find a needle in a haystack.

650

00:
35:47,011 -- 00:35:48,205

Why, that's a cinch.

651

00:
35:48,279 -- 00:35:52,579

All you have to do is get a horse

to eat the hay and then X-ray the horse.

652

00:
35:53,885 -- 00:35:54,510

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

653

00:
35:59,957 -- 00:36:01,720

Okay. Okay.

654

00:
36:03,261 -- 00:36:04,888

Hold your horses.

655

00:
36:07,765 -- 00:36:10,029

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

656

00:
36:10,134 -- 00:36:12,967

What time is it?

This is worse than being in the army.

657

00:
36:13,037 -- 00:36:16,006

Professor Potts started

the round table discussion 10 minutes ago.

658

00:
36:16,073 -- 00:36:18,439

He did? Say, that's divastigating.

659

00:
36:18,509 -- 00:36:21,205

- And this came for you.

- Who brought it?

660

00:
36:21,712 -- 00:36:24,180

- A couple of persons.

- Any message?

661

00:
36:24,248 -- 00:36:27,308

- Well, they spoke very picturesquely.

- Yeah, very.

662

00:
36:27,385 -- 00:36:30,479

Yes, they said it's getting hot and hotter

663

00:
36:30,555 -- 00:36:33,353

and to stay in the icebox

like a good little salad.

664

00:
36:33,424 -- 00:36:35,688

And this is the dressing.

665

00:
36:35,760 -- 00:36:38,285

- The salad, huh?

- And we wondered what it meant.

666

00:
36:38,362 -- 00:36:39,386

Yes, we did.

667

00:
36:39,463 -- 00:36:41,260

I'll tell you, sweetie. I...

668

00:
36:41,332 -- 00:36:42,697

Gentlemen. Gentlemen.

669

00:
36:42,767 -- 00:36:44,394

- Miss Bragg.

- Oh, my goodness.

670

00:
36:44,468 -- 00:36:46,766

Sounds like Mother calling.

Kids, you better go.

671

00:
36:46,837 -- 00:36:48,771

See you later.

672

00:
36:48,839 -- 00:36:52,832

- Gentlemen, where are you, gentlemen?

- We're coming, Miss Bragg, we're coming.

673

00:
36:52,910 -- 00:36:55,378

- On our way.

- I would like to talk to you.

674

00:
36:55,446 -- 00:36:56,435

I wanted to ask you,

675

00:
36:56,514 -- 00:36:58,482

what were all your trousers

doing in my kitchen?

676

00:
36:58,549 -- 00:37:00,847

- I wanted mine pressed.

- Well, that accounts for one pair.

677

00:
37:00,918 -- 00:37:02,715

- I did, too.

- Mine, too.

678

00:
37:02,787 -- 00:37:04,652

Seven pairs, all at once?

679

00:
37:04,722 -- 00:37:06,781

What's going on in this house anyway?

680

00:
37:06,857 -- 00:37:09,849

No constitutional this morning.

You've hardly touched your breakfast.

681

00:
37:09,927 -- 00:37:13,260

Professor Potts in the dining room with

a conglomeration of dubious characters.

682

00:
37:13,331 -- 00:37:14,457

You, not at your desks.

683

00:
37:14,532 -- 00:37:18,059

- That's right, gentlemen, we have to work.

- Yes, we have to work.

684

00:
37:18,135 -- 00:37:23,038

- What were you doing upstairs, anyway?

- We took up a suitcase.

685

00:
37:23,107 -- 00:37:24,836

- Suitcase?

- Yes.

686

00:
37:24,909 -- 00:37:27,173

- Whose suitcase?

- We're very busy, Miss Bragg.

687

00:
37:27,245 -- 00:37:28,439

I said, whose suitcase?

688

00:
37:28,512 -- 00:37:31,845

Well, now, Miss Bragg, there is...

689

00:
37:33,584 -- 00:37:36,018

- There is someone staying with us.

- Staying with us?

690

00:
37:36,087 -- 00:37:38,920

- That's it.

- Who?

691

00:
37:38,990 -- 00:37:40,389

Who's staying with us?

692

00:
37:40,458 -- 00:37:42,653

What's the matter? Cat got your tongues?

693

00:
37:42,727 -- 00:37:44,854

- Who's staying with us?

- (VOICE CRACKING) Well, I...

694

00:
37:44,929 -- 00:37:48,365

- Well, I... Oh, dear.

- Professor Potts didn't tell you?

695

00:
37:48,432 -- 00:37:50,764

- No, and I want to know.

- Well, under the pressure

696

00:
37:50,835 -- 00:37:53,030

- of a very trying assignment...

- Yes?

697

00:
37:53,104 -- 00:37:55,368

- He's...

- Go on.

698

00:
37:55,439 -- 00:37:58,067

- He's taken a temporary assistant.

- Yes.

699

00:
37:58,142 -- 00:38:01,043

- So we're running a hotel now.

- Not exactly.

700

00:
38:01,112 -- 00:38:04,240

It seems to me that... Professor Robinson,

701

00:
38:04,315 -- 00:38:07,648

- is that one of your socks?

- No, not mine.

702

00:
38:08,452 -- 00:38:10,079

I wish that it...

703

00:
38:11,722 -- 00:38:15,021

Well, I know Professor Peagram

explains the corset he wears

704

00:
38:15,092 -- 00:38:16,491

as due to a floating kidney.

705

00:
38:16,560 -- 00:38:17,959

What's the explanation of this?

706

00:
38:18,029 -- 00:38:22,329

Say, kids, I'm stuck.

Any of you can jerk a zipper?

707

00:
38:22,400 -- 00:38:23,628

A zipper?

708

00:
38:23,701 -- 00:38:26,067

Yeah, the darn thing's stuck...

709

00:
38:26,137 -- 00:38:27,866

Hello, who are you?

710

00:
38:27,938 -- 00:38:31,465

- This is our Miss Bragg.

- Miss... Did you say Bag?

711

00:
38:31,542 -- 00:38:33,100

Bragg. How do you do?

712

00:
38:33,177 -- 00:38:35,111

Great-o.

Do you know anything about zippers?

713

00:
38:35,179 -- 00:38:36,578

- Do you? Do you?

- Well, I...

714

00:
38:36,647 -- 00:38:37,944

- Well, do you?

- Do I?

715

00:
38:38,015 -- 00:38:41,416

- No, I don't, but Professor Gurkakoff.

- Okay.

716

00:
38:41,485 -- 00:38:44,511

- Well, it's purely mechanical.

- But look, you were married.

717

00:
38:44,588 -- 00:38:45,782

No, I'm just a botanist.

718

00:
38:45,856 -- 00:38:48,188

Look, kids, after all,

you know, this is only a zipper.

719

00:
38:48,259 -- 00:38:50,489

- Come on, Gurky.
