OF THOSE OMELETS WITH ALL THAT STUFF IN IT.

AND A BIG SALAD,

AND MY FAVORITE PIE: GOOSEBERRY.

WHAT, NO PUDDING?

I'M ON A DIET.

COME ON, JUMBO,

SPREAD THOSE WINGS, WILL YA?

GET UP THAT POLE.

IF THEM GUYS IN THEM PLANES

ARE GONNA BOTHER PEOPLE,

WHY DON'T THEY HOP

OVER TO EUROPE?

[AIRPLANE APPROACHING]

JUMBO, KICK OFF!

OH, NURSE,

MY BACK IS ITCHY.

IT WAS YOUR CHIN

LAST NIGHT.

WHY DON'T YOU BREAK

DOWN AND TELL ME YOUR FIRST NAME?

NURSE TO YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU BOTH

BREAK DOWN AND GIVE ME SOMETHING TO EAT?

YOU'RE STILL ON MILK.

WELL, PU SOMETHING IN IT.

HERE.

NOW, LISTEN, WHAT--

HEY, NURSE?

YES?

WHAT TIME IS IT?

WHY? WHERE ARE

YOU GOING?

HIYA, JOHNNY!

THEY GOT ALL THEM RIBS

OUT OF YOUR LIVER YET?

YEAH, I'M FEELING FINE.

THE DOC FINALLY:

FOUND OUT WHERE ALL THE PIECES BELONG.

YOU'RE LOOKING FINE,

JOHNNY.

[WHIPPLE COUGHING]

THANKS.

[COUGHING]

HIYA, WHIPPLE.

YOU STILL HERE?

WELL, IF I AIN'T,

THEY'RE SENDING THE BILL TO THE WRONG GUY.

THE DAY WHIPPLE:

WAS DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL,

HE FELL DOWN:

THE FRONT STEPS:

AND WAS RUN OVER

BY AN AMBULANCE.

WHIPPLE'S GONNA

RENT A ROOM HERE BY THE YEAR.

OH, HOW'S JUMBO?

THEY'RE LETTING HIM

OUT TODAY.

WHEN DOES THE DOCTOR

SAY YOU'LL BE OUT, JOHNNY?

OH, HE SAYS I GOTTA

GET MY RIBS PLENTY OF TIME TO PATCH UP.

WELL, THEY AIN'T GONNA

PATCH UP IN THIS JOINT.

NOW, LOOK, YOU'RE COMING HOME

WITH FAY AND ME.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE,

HANK.

WELL, YOU'RE NO GONNA STAY COOPED UP

IN THIS BANDAGE FACTORY.

NOW, LOOK, WE GO A NICE ROOM FOR YOU

AND THERE AIN'T A NURSE

IN THE WHOLE JOIN

THAT CAN BEAT HER,

ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT HER.

I'D BE TOO MUCH

TROUBLE FOR HER.

WON'T BE ANY TROUBLE

AT ALL, JOHNNY.

WELL, I'M A ROTTEN

PATIENT.

I EVEN SQUAWK:

LOUDER THAN WHIPPLE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT,

WE'LL SHUT YOU UP.

I AIN'T FORGOT HOW

TO USE A SPUD WRENCH.

[SCREAMING]

Johnny:

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

WELL, I'M CHECKING OU OF THIS JOINT,

AND JUST I'M TRYING TO SAY

GOOD-BYE TO THE NURSE.

HA. FUNNY WAY YOU HAVE

OF SAYING GOOD-BYE.

AAH! BACK!

WHEN I SAY CHECKING OUT,

I MEAN CHECKING OUT,

AND I'VE COME TO SAY

GOOD-BYE TO WHIPPIE, TOO.

GET AWAY FROM ME.

NOW, WHIPPIE, YOU KNOW--

HELP! NURSE! NURSE!

NURSE! NURSE!

MR. WHIPPLE,

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET WELL THIS WAY.

COME ON, BLONDIE,

THROUGH THE WINDOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

I'LL BET YOU IT WAS THOSE KIDS DOWN THE STREET.

THE KID'S NAME WOULDN' BE JOHNNY, WOULD IT?

WHAT'S THIS? TOOTHPICK?

ALL RIGHT.

I JUST WANTED TO GE A LITTLE EXERCISE.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED

TO BE AN INVALID.

OH, I'M FED UP WITH

THAT INVALID ROUTINE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

DON'T YOU LIKE THE SERVICE?

OH, YOU'RE UP

THE WRONG POLE, FAY.

IT'S BEEN SWELL.

WHY, MY MOTHER COULDN' HAVE TREATED ME ANY BETTER.

OH, FORGET IT.

SOMEDAY WHEN I FALL

OFF A TOWER,

YOU CAN TAKE CARE

OF ME.

HI, FAMILY!

WHAT'D YOU DO? BUY

OUT THE WHOLE STORE?

WELL, I TRY TO.

WELL, OUR SON'S GETTING

PRETTY BIG, AIN'T HE?

HA HA.

GOOD THING I DIDN' TELL YOU TO BUY A WATERMELON.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I WOULD DO THAT.

NOW, LISTEN, NO MORE

RUNNING AROUND:

ON THOSE RUBBER LEGS

OF YOURS.

WHAT'S NEW

ON THE JOB, HANK?

OH, NOT SO GOOD.

THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE

A FLOATING GANG OUT OF US

FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WHERE ARE YOU:

GONNA BE WORKING?

OH, THAT NEW

HARPER DAM LINE.

WE GO NEXT WEEK.

GEE, I WISH YOU

WAS WELL ENOUGH TO GO WITH US.

I'LL BE THERE.

WHAT DOES:

THE DOC SAY?

I'M TIRED OF

DOING NOTHING.

IF I KEEP ON:

DOING THAT,

I'LL BE CLIMBING POLES

THAT AIN'T THERE.

HERE'S YOUR MILK.

OH, I JUST HAD

A GLASS OF THAT COW JUICE AN HOUR AGO.

IT WAS TWO HOURS AGO.

COME ON. DOWN THE HATCH.

TIME SLEEPING, TOO.

WELL, THIS STUFF

MIGHT HELP.

BOTHERING YOU?

NO, NOTHING.

I KNOW HANK AIN' THE EASIEST GUY TO GET ALONG WITH.

I'M NOT COMPLAINING.

YOU KNOW, I NEVER

FIGURED YOU STAYING HONEST SO LONG.

HOW DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, DAMES LIKE YOU

SOMETIMES GET RESTLESS.

YOU MISS THE NOISE

AND LIGHTS AND PEOPLE.

IF I MISS ANYTHING,

THAT'S NOT IT.

FAY, YOU MADE HANK

A VERY HAPPY GUY.

I'VE TRIED.

GOT A CIGARETTE?

YEAH.

SOMETIMES I GE THE IDEA THAT YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE CHEERING.

WHAT'S WORRYING YOU?

NOTHING.

YOU SURE?

YEAH, I'M SURE.

WELL, THEN YOU CAN PASTE

THIS IN YOUR NOTEBOOK:

I'M HANK'S FRIEND

AND YOURS, TOO.

IF THERE'S

SOMETHING OFF-KEY,

YOU CAN ALWAYS:

LET ME IN ON IT.

CAN I?

SURE.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU ASKED FOR IT.

THEN TELL ME SOME

WAY I CAN GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND.

HEY.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

YOU HEARD ME.

ARE YOU NUTS?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE.

DON'T STAND THERE

LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.

DID I KNOCK YOU:

OFF THAT POLE?

DID I FIX IT SO THA YOU'D SPEND A MONTH HERE IN THE HOUSE?

THOSE THINGS:

JUST HAPPEN.

NO ONE WANTS I TO HAPPEN.

THEY JUST DO.

BOY, I NEVER EVEN

GAVE YOU A LOOK.

I NEVER MADE:

A PASS AT YOU.

WHY, I NEVER EVEN

THOUGHT THAT YOU'D--

[DOOR OPENING]

WISH I DIDN'T HAVE
