So you found your friends again.

That's fine.

But you'd better go back

to the drawing room, now, Christopher.

But why should you try to kill me,

Uncle Saul?

Mr. Highness, we ought to throw you

right out of that window!

Yeah.

Head first.

Throw me out of the window...

That would be quite a long fall I'm afraid.

I'm told that a person

falling any great distance

loses consciousness

long before he reaches the ground.

Oh, well.

We won't have to throw him out.

Why?

Just give him a little push

when he jumps.

I'm trying to make it easy for you.

The King will make

a very gallant struggle for his life

and I shall arrive too late

to save him.

Oh, you're not too late. We'll help you...

Won't we, Ollie?

And now gentlemen...

And Christopher...

If I may trouble you to climb out

on the ledge outside this window?

Come, come gentlemen.

Please.

I'm a very sensitive man.

I find this quite painful.

He finds it painful.

- How much you got left, boys?

- Just that place near the window.

- Well hurry along.

- Charlie, lets slide it over the sill.

Come, Stanley.

Let no one say that we were afraid to die!

I don't care who says it!

We've done no wrong

so we have nothing to fear. Come.

- Nothing to fear?

- No!

Hold this, will ya?

You're right, Ollie.

Let us laugh in the face of death.

Come, Your Majesty.

Now...

His Majesty first, if you don't mind.

Goodbye, Ollie...

Goodbye, Stan.

- Goodbye, Chris.

- Goodbye, Chris.

What the...?

Quick!

The police!

Let's see what's up.

Come on!

And now gentlemen,

if you would care to say your goodbyes...

Farewell, Stanley!

You've been a wonderful pal.

A nobler creature never lived.

Goodbye, Ollie.

You're a...

Nice fella too.

Look at that. A fine way to leave things.

Come on. Give me a hand.

OK.

Ollie, I'll never forget you.

Never.

Nor I you, Stanley.

At last we've come to the parting of the ways

and our fate lies below...

Far, far below.

Come, come, gentlemen.

I must ask you to step off that ledge.

- Can't we say goodbye first?

- You just did.

I know

but this time we really mean it!

I've had enough of this!

I shall count ten and when I say ten...

You jump!

One...

Two...

It makes me dizzy to look down there.

Close your eyes and try not to land on your head.

That's what Im going to do.

Three...

Four...

Five...

Six...

Nu!

Wait 'til he says ten!

Seven...

Eight...

Nine...

Thank heavens he didn't say ten!

You're tickling me!

Climb up and grab my belt!

Take it easy, now!

Grab my belt!

Over there...

Quick!

Hang on! We'll get ya!

Give me a hand!

Bring him up!

Help me! Help!

Help!

Help me... Help me, Ollie...

Save me... Save me!

It's alright, Stanley.

You're safe!

Open your eyes!

I can't.

I can't look down.

Open your eyes!

How did we get in here?

Where's that Highness fella?

Yes!

Where is Uncle Saul?

Is he alright?

In there. He...

He ain't feeling so good.

We just telephoned.

They're coming right up to take care of him.

Say, Chris.

How about something to eat for the boys?

Sure.

Look.

Salami!

Have a seat, won't you, gentlemen?

Sure...

Thanks.
