you know what would happen?

They'd take us to jail!

Pack that grip!

Pack that grip!

Hurry up before

they get in here!

Pack that grip.

That's fine. Hiding away

like thieves in the dark.

For what reason?

For what reason

I ask you?

Why should the police

be after us?

- Why you asking me? I don't know.

- Quiet! Pack the grip.

Nice goings on!

Like criminals

hiding away here.

Then again,

wait a minute!

Why can't we take this

to court and fight this out?

Unpack that grip.

Unpack the grip!

Why sneak away?

Let's take it to court!

You're willing to go

to court, aren't you?

Well, I am.

I've got people to think of.

I'll take it to court.

I'll take it to the highest

courts in the country!

That's what I'll do!

Let's see, where will

I take this?

I'll fight them! Why should

I be afraid of the cops?

But wait a minute!

That requires money.

We have no money.

Mm-hmm, that's

food for thought.

Yeah, we can't.

We gotta get out!

We've gotta get

away from here!

I don't know where we're going

but we've gotta sneak out...

like cowards... cowards!

Wait a minute!

We're not cowards!

Why should we be cowards?

What have we done?

What have we done

to be ashamed off?

Nothing!

Certainly not!

I should say not!

We've done nothing!

But can we prove it?

We can't prove it!

That's the whole trouble. That's

the whole trouble in a nutshell!

But wait a minute!

We've gotta prove it!

We've gotta prove it!

We can't sneak out like this!

We can't sneak out! Think of our

families. Think of our families.

But you can't tell them!

You can't convince them of that!

Pack that grip!

We go to jail

and we don't go to jail!

I pack and then I unpack!

Why don't you

make up your mind?!

- Then on the other hand...

- No!

Ow!

You! Tubby!

Tubby!

Did you hear

anything, dear?

No, I didn't

hear anything.

You'll have to put

the lights out.

I can't sleep

with them on.

- All right.

- Thank you.

Huh?

- Here you are, sir.

- Thank you.

All right, nurse.

I'll take charge of him now.

Doctor, Miss Osborne's

coming with us.

All right, Buster.

Track 23.

Watch yourself!

Now listen, Tubby,

we've got to follow those crooks

and prove they robbed the bank.

- I don't mind following them. Only one thing bothers me.

- What's that?

- We might catch up to 'em.

- A cop! Duck! Duck!

Hurry up.

Get up.

Get something to carry, so

we won't look conspicuous.

Come here.

I'll carry you.

Never mind me!

Get ahold of something.

Go ahead,

get ahold of something.

Hey, can I carry

your tennis rackets?

Tennis rackets?

Don't you know a fly-swatter

when you see one?

All right. I only asked you

a sensible question.

May I carry your bag?

Now wouldn't you look sort of silly

carrying that bag?

It doesn't match

my ensemble.

Thanks just the same.

What's the matter

with you?

There goes the girl

I've been in love with all my life.

In love?

Do you know that girl?

Did you ever meet her?

Are you going crazy?

You must be!

Let's find out how

to get on this train.

Come on, come on.

Don't stand in a daze!

Will you wake up?!

Wake up! Wake up!

- Excuse me.

- It's all right.

All right, stop it.

Don't get silly.

Not me!

There's our chance!

First trombone.

- First sax.

- Second sax.

- First bass.

- Second bass.

- Third bass.

- Shortstop.

- "Shortstop. "

- First trumpet.

- "First trumpet. "

- Second...

Shortstop?

Hey, shortstop!

You hear me

singing psalms

About your

subtle charms

I'd give the world itself

To win them

My place is

in your arms

My arms are out of place

Whenever you're

not in them

I'm like a fish

out of water...

A sky with no star...

A glamorous Heddy...

Without the LaMarr...

I'd like

to murder the guy

Who put the headache

in my horoscope

I'm just a dilly, that's all

The little lady they call

Arabella the dope

I'm like the picture

by Disney...

Minus the mice

A shrimp a la creole...

Without any rice...

Although I love a fire

How I tire

Answering false alarms

Like a fish out of water

Who certainly ought to be

in your arms

I'm like a fish

that's out of water

Oysters

in the month of June

A serenade by Cole Porter

Without any tune

The little things

that you say

The corny jokes

that you play

Gee, but they're getting me down,

but down

Men:
I'm walking round in

a stew, an individual who

All:
Can't help acting the clown, rah-da

Like a fish out of water

Doo, doo day

A cat without kits

Doo, doo day

Or even DiMaggio

without any hits

The well-known misfit

Just as apropos

as Gypsy Rose Lee

Down at the old

schoolmarm's

Like a fish out of water

Doo dee

- A nautical daughter

- Doo dee

A fish out of water

All:
Who certainly ought to be in...

Be in your arms.

Oh, Tubby!

Hey, Weokie!

- Johnny Long!

- Flash!

- How are you? Tubby.

- Good to see you.

Well, this is

a surprise.

Are you boys going

up to Sun Valley, too?

Yes. Say could you get us

a job up there?

Well, the hotel manager

is a friend of mine.

Maybe I can do

some good for you.

- That'll be swell.

- Tickets!

Excuse me, boys.

Tickets.

FBI, Washington.

COD, Alcatraz.

I'm sorry, young fellow.

I hate to see anyone handcuffed.

Yeah, well, that's okay.

Thanks a lot.

Now see here,

you can't do that on this train.

I can't see! I can't see!

I can't see! I can't see!

Now what are we

gonna do?

We've gotta get tickets

or we'll be thrown off this train.

- You want tickets?

- Yes. Why?

Get this.

Tickets, please.

Man:
Just a minute, conductor.

Thank you.

Hey, three of them.

Now we even got one

for an extra party!

Wrong party!

Flash:

All right, all right!

- What's the trouble?

- Them monkeys from Detroit.

- I don't want to lose them.

- You're not gonna let them get away?

Relax, you couldn't lose them

if you wanted to.

Come on inside.

Marcia!

Harry, what are you

doing here?

I was just going to ask you

the same question.

- Come on inside.

- Oh well...

It's been a long time

since Club 77, hasn't it, Harry?

- That's right.

- Those fellows may get away

if you don't go

right after them.

I told you to relax, didn't I?

I left an unsigned note

telling them where we were going.

They think they're following us.

Are you in trouble, Harry?

Yeah.

Look, Marcia,

how'd you like to help

the fellow that gave you

your first break?

I'd be glad to do anything

I can for you,

but I'm on my way to Sun

Valley to sing with the band.

That's wonderful!

We'll all be up there together.

Would you

give me a hand?

Sure... if it's on

the up and up.

That's swell. I'll tell you

all about it at Sun Valley.

Right now the boys are bothering

me about some unfinished business.

- See you later, eh?

- See you later.

Say, where does

the dame come in?

She comes in

so the Detroit boys can go out.

She's bait to bring 'em

out in the open

where we can knock 'em off

with a minimum of vice versa.

- Nobody in here.

- They must have doubled back on us.

All right, hold it!

There you are.
