Now You See Him, Now You Don't Page #5

---

There'll be no mortgage payment.

Medfield is down the drain...

Not quite, sir.

There's... Dexter Riley.

- He still thinks he has something.

- He certainly does.

A mental condition,

with that invisibility experiment.

Dean Higgins, who else have we got?

Nobody.

But Dexter Riley...

[Dexter] Okay, the first thing we have to do

is get everything organized.

[Schuylar] Nobody seems to think we have

a chance at winning this thing,

but Debbie, you and I,

and I guess maybe Lufkin.

You didn't happen to talk to him, did you?

[Dexter] Lufkin didn't seem too enthused,

but we can't pay attention to that.

After this showing,

Medfield'll win the award money

and you and I'll be written up

in every chemistry book in the world.

Me, written up in chemistry books?

You gotta be kidding!

- What's the matter with that?

- I flunked chemistry last semester.

That is kinda weird, isn't it?

First things first. We'll spray you invisible.

As soon as you disappear, pick those

things on the table up one at a time.

- It'll look like they're floating in the air.

- That should look pretty good.

[Dexter] You're darn right, it'll look terrific.

Let's rehearse it.

You're not gonna spray me tonight.

We want to see exactly

how this thing works, don't we?

I've got a date in a half hour.

I don't want that stuff all over me.

I'd have to take another shower.

This is the last time you'll do it.

Now, hold still.

I said I didn't want to do it.

Dexter, now look what you've done!

[Loud crash]

Hold this. You better stay here.

[Cookie] Sorry I startled you,

but I got my foot stuck in this bucket.

[Schuylar] Wonder how he did that?

You know, some people

don't care how they look at all.

Boss, you are not going to believe this,

but I saw it with my own eyes.

- Yeah, Cookie? You saw what?

- I don't how to tell you. It's crazy.

- Tell me what it is.

- You're gonna laugh at me.

So I'll laugh at you!

Will you tell me what it is?

Well, this...

Excuse me.

This kid's got this spray,

like they used to use for bugs...

- Cookie, you're aggravating me!

- You spray people with...

Excuse me. I'm sorry, Al.

- It makes people...

- It makes them what?

- You're not going to believe this.

- Try me.

Invisible.

I believe you.

You see, I knew!

I knew like I know my own name.

- You believe me?

- You bet your sweet life, I do!

I knew there was something crazy

going on around here.

Listen, birdbrain,

this is what I want you to do.

[Forsythe] You know what I mean?

Good morning, Mr. Forsythe.

It's so nice to see you again.

Nice to see you.

I saw you on the golf match on TV.

Very funny.

- Funny, indeed.

- I don't know what happened.

Golf isn't important. It's science.

Hope you have something

interesting for me.

You should have seen

our display last night.

A new version of a helio-spectrogram.

Quite remarkable.

The Medfield Press predicted that

State'll take first place with that one.

[Forsythe] The Medfield Press isn't going

to pick the winner of this contest.

Medfield's display today,

Rutland tomorrow.

Then we'll let me announce

the winner Friday night, won't we?

- Yes, sir.

- Better believe it.

You sure you got everything worked out?

You're not worried?

Don't worry about me. I rise to the occasion

when I perform in front of people.

As soon as you finish your act,

give Debbie the signal.

She'll pour the water on you.

This thing'll be terrific.

Right this way, Mr. Forsythe.

Good morning.

Distinguished deans, honorable scholars,

please come this way.

This would be a good place to watch.

This is Dexter Riley and his assistant.

Nice to know you, young people.

What've you got to show us?

We've come up with something

very extraordinary on invisibility.

- You're not kidding us, are you?

- I don't think so.

Why don't you just sit down?

Let me explain the procedure to you,

so that no one will be alarmed.

I'm going to spray this substance

on Mr. Schuylar and he will disappear.

He will then go to the table and raise those

objects. He will talk as he does this,

so that you will know that it's

his invisible body raising the objects.

All right?

Now, watch closely.

You don't see me, but...

I am now walking toward the table.

Now you will see a vase.

It is floating in the air.

But it is not floating in the air.

Although you cannot see me,

- I am holding the vase.

- Schuylar!

I am now walking back to the table.

This ball.

It seems to be bouncing by itself.

However it is not.

It is I who am bouncing the ball.

We've had enough of this.

Come along!

[Forsythe] You call this science.

It's a disgrace to the academic world.

That's what it is.

Don't apologize, Dean!

It may have been a simple error

in the formula.

[Schuylar] I guess they've seen enough.

I'm over here.

You can hit me with the water now.

I don't want to stay invisible too long.

Pretty good, huh? But listen,

next time try some lukewarm water.

Okay?

This isn't our formula.

This is just colored water.

- What do you mean?

- You didn't disappear.

I don't understand it, but somebody

must've snuck in here and changed it.

Nobody knew about it,

but the three of us.

- Hi, kids.

- Hi, Charlie

You mean I never was invisible?

You didn't tell anybody, did you?

You didn't tell anybody, did you?

- Tell them what?

- Charlie.

- That other janitor, what's his name?

- There's no other janitor.

There was on Tuesday night.

There's no janitor

who works here on Tuesday nights.

Part of Dean Higgins' economy plan.

- And you know the dean.

- Yeah, I do.

Thanks a lot!

It was that fake janitor that

made the switch, whoever he was.

I've seen that face somewhere before.

- What face?

- Arno's chauffeur.

Arno with that stuff could be murder.

- I wonder what he's gonna do with it.

- And how are we going to find that out?

Maybe we should let him tell us.

Testing, one, two, three, four.

[Dexter] Loud and clear. Good luck.

Aren't those beautiful!

- They're for Mr. Arno. Is he in?

- They're gorgeous!

I'll take them in.

No, I'm sorry,

but there's a message involved.

We have to deliver them in person.

There's a message for Mr. Arno.

I see. Okay, just a minute.

Mr. Arno, there are some delivery boys

out here with some flowers for you.

Flowers for me?

Who'd be sending me flowers?

[Secretary] I don't know, sir.

Tell them to leave 'em.

Sir, there's a message involved.

They say they have

to deliver them in person.

All right, send them in.

Who'd be sending me flowers?

Mr. Arno, sir, these flowers are for you.

Ready?

[Humming]

(music) Happy birthday to you

(music) Happy birthday to you

(music) Happy birthday, Mr. Arno

(music) Happy birthday to you (music)

Signed E.J. Higgins,

Dean of Medfield College.

But it isn't even my birthday.

What's this all about?

Why's he sending me flowers?

I don't know, maybe he just likes you.

- What?

- We can't take them back.

It really does liven up your office.

Cookie, take care of them, will you?
