has the negative?

Me.

May I see it?

No.

Now may I see it?

No.

Now may I see it?

No.

I give up!

I've had enough.

You've had enough?

Well, no, not me.

Oooh, ooh, ooh!

I never had a kiss

affect me like this before.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

I get it.

Ohhh!

In the ancient land

of Switzerland

Where the customs

never change

They yodel- o-del high

Because the Alps

are in their range

Instead of giving

orchids there

They give 'em edelweiss

Instead of merely kissing them

They slap 'em once or twice

First grab a partner

Then let each

belle and beau

Join hands together

And do a figure "O."

But if your heartbeat

Is 23 below

You turn and clap...

And then you slap...

Here's my advice

To each charmer

in the dell

If Willie loves you

And you love Willie well

Let Willie kiss you,

but don't let William tell

Or Mama slap

A double slap

Oh-le-o-lay

This is the slap-happy polka

of the day...

"Fall in love,"

say the silver skates

Describing figure eights

Across the ice

Boys and girls

in their skating shoes

Men:
Will soon be raiding shoes and rice

Band:

So just grab your partner

And whirl her

once or twice

You'll find the polka

Will help you

break the ice

Then kiss the missus

because it feels so nice

And then you clap

And then you slap

Oh-le-o-lay

This is the slap-happy polka

of the day

Here's my advice

to each charmer in the dell

If Willie loves you,

and you love Willie well

Let Willie kiss you,

but don't let William tell

Or Mama slap

A double slap

- Oh-le-o-lay

- Oh-le-o-lay

This is the slap-happy polka

of the day

- Oh-le-o-lay

- Oh-le-o-lay

This is the slap-happy polka

of the da-a-ay.

Are you being paid

to do this?

Mr. Fellowsby ordered me

to take the afternoon off.

Does that meet with your

approval, Dr. Legree?

Now wait a minute,

don't get me wrong.

I have to protect

my patients.

If Mr. Fellowsby says you

should go out and enjoy yourself,

suppose we do it together? Come

on, let me show you how to skate.

University

of Wisconsin, '38.

University of Toronto, '41.

No hard feelings, I hope?

Oh no.

- Flash!

- Doc!

I never expected

to see you up here.

I thought you were

a photographer, not a waiter.

It's a long story. Remember that

bank across from the hospital?

Bank? Say, those pictures

in the newspaper...

I thought they looked like you.

You're hiding out.

No, we're on the trail

of the crooks.

The cops think

we robbed that bank.

When we prove our innocence,

you're going to lose a patient.

- You mean Fellowsby?

- That's right.

Now it all ties up. When Peggy

said he was out of the room...

He was across the street

robbing the bank.

That's why they

brought her up here.

She knows too much.

Where's Tubby?

There he is.

Come on.

Get up. Get up!

Tubby, I never expected

to see you on skates.

I don't ever expect

to see myself on them either.

Come on, get up

and wait on the tables.

Okay.

Now hold me, kid.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

That kid is strong.

Right foot,

left foot,

right foot...

everybody's doing it.

Right foot,

left foot.

Right foot...

Whooooh!

Here I come!

Whooooh!

I can't hang on

any longer!

I don't like this!

Whoooh!

I don't like this!

Here I come!

Oh, Peggy!

Are you following me,

I hope?

You've got to pack up and

get back to town immediately.

And don't stop

to tell Mr. Fellowsby.

And just when I was

beginning to think you were human.

You've got to trust me.

You'll understand everything later.

I understand everything now.

It positively hurts you

to see me with a job.

I hate to do this, but you force

me to order you off the case.

- You're to leave immediately

- I understand, Doctor.

Now see if you

understand this.

- I've come to say goodbye.

- Oh, you're leaving?

Yes, Dr. Burns and I

don't seem to get along.

And I might add

that in my opinion

you're not sick enough

to need a nurse.

Your reasons would

interest me.

They're not important.

I'll leave my address at the desk

and you can mail me the check.

Now, now, nurse,

let's not do anything rash.

Stay on for a couple of days

and I'll make it worth your while.

Sorry, I really must go.

Now, you be

a smart girl and...

- Look, Mr. Fellowsby,

if you think you can frighten me...

Take her inside.

Oh, Doctor,

I was just about

to ring for you.

Doctor, I think I'd like to go

up to that mountain cabin now.

I don't think that would be

advisable in your condition.

I think the fresh air

will be good for me.

I'd like you to come up

and take care of me.

What about Miss Osborne?

Won't she be there?

No. I told her

to take today off.

Very well, Mr. Fellowsby,

whatever you say.

I'll get my things together

and leave word at the office.

That dame's got more legs

than a centipede.

You don't mean to tell me a big lug like

you had trouble tying up a little girl?

Next time get a male nurse...

one that don't bite.

What about those friends of yours...

the boys from Detroit?

They'll be following us.

You can depend on that.

Get 'em all

out there together,

out on one of those

big snowbanks.

One push and... gin!

Come here, I want

to talk to you, Flash.

Fellowsby is heading

for the mountain cabin.

He wants me to go

along with him.

That's the cabin

where he's hidden the money.

Right. You get ahold of Tubby

and get there ahead of them

and keep watch until they

come out with the money.

Leave it to Tubby and me.

We'll take care of everything.

- Okay. I'll see you up there.

- Okay.

Come on, Tubby.

We've got to get to that

mountain cabin before they do.

What's that for?

In case we meet

WC Fields.

Wooo.

Right. Oatmeal!

Cornmeal!

Mush!

Whoa!

Hey, that must be

the place.

There's no other place

around the place.

That must be the place.

- Come on.

- Okay. Wait there, kids.

Looks like we're

the first one's here.

I'll try and get

in the window.

It must be locked

from the inside.

- Hey, give me a boost.

- Go ahead.

Why didn't you tell me

that door was open?

- You said you wanted to come through the window.

- Hold that glove.

- Give me that.

- You hold it. I mean after all...

Put your hands down.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Oh, come here!

Come here!

Come here! It's only

a bearskin. Look!

Don't tell me

about those things.

- I used to hunt them.

- You hunted bear?

- Oh no, I had my clothes on.

- Stop it.

Another thing, I want to tell

you about this hunting business...

once when I was hunting,

it was lightning and thundering.

- Out of the woods came a big animal with horns.

- Reindeer?

- It sure did, honey.

- Come on, let's get in the next room.

Come on.

Never mind that.

All right, don't fight.

Stand still.

We'll stay in here till we find

out where they hide the money.

When they go to sleep,

we'll grab it,

take it back to the bank

and clear ourselves.

When don't you let me

overpower them like you said?

- I'll give them the old

one-three. - All right, stop.
