Hold it.

You call it.

Let him have it.

Easy.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Sooner or later, I'm gonna get those rats.

I got a feeling it's gonna be sooner.

I thought you said you defused that.

I lied.

Yeah.

(SINGS "GET HAPPY")

MAN:
Sit right here, Lieutenant.

Speer, you amaze me.

Thank you, my dove.

Madam.

Hi, Addy. You know,

I been thinking it over, and...

We make a pretty fair team.

Yeah, I suppose so, shorty.

All right, that tears it.

Step out here, brass ass,

- and let's settle this right now.

- (MOUTHING)

Hey, pal! Pipe down and then sit down.

- MAN 1:
Down in front.

- MAN 2:
Sit down!

Hey, pal, when you talk to me, stand up.

Sorry, you are standing.

No reason to kneel. We're not in church.

Oh, boy! We can play ball.

We got three bases.

Play ball.

Ah!

This is either the Woolworth Building,

in which case it's okay, or...

"The Leith police dismisseth us."

(GRUNTS)

Aren't you gonna help him?

I abhor violence.

(MIKE SCREAMING)

"The Leith police dismisseth us."

- (CHOKING) I got a situation here.

- So?

That's it.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

MIKE:
I'll take it from here, Tuck.

Good luck in your radio career.

Where we going? Oh, out there, huh?

Fine with me.

I need a lot of room for you, pal. Yeah.

You know, I looked up "Neanderthal"

in the dictionary.

There was a picture of you. (CHUCKLES)

Whereabouts?

Right here. That's good for me.

I don't know what Addy sees in you.

You know, she should go out with humans.

- SPEER:
I was wrong.

- What?

You can't take care of yourself.

Oh...

- They wrote a song about you.

- SPEER:
Oh?

Brother, Can You Spare a Brain?

- You want to know something?

- What?

You'll always be "shorty" to me.

Blake Edwards

William Blake Crump (July 26, 1922 – December 15, 2010), better known by his stage name Blake Edwards, was an American filmmaker. Edwards began his career in the 1940s as an actor, but he soon began writing screenplays and radio scripts before turning to producing and directing in television and films. His best-known films include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, 10, Victor/Victoria, and the hugely successful Pink Panther film series with British actor Peter Sellers. Often thought of as primarily a director of comedies, he also directed several drama, musical, and detective films. Late in his career, he transitioned to writing, producing, and directing for theater. In 2004, he received an Honorary Academy Award in recognition of his writing, directing, and producing an extraordinary body of work for the screen. more…
