give up cigarettes. Yeah.

Nix. You want that dude

to snap out your front rack?

You don't think I'm afraid

of him, do you?

I am.

Why you...

Come on.

Come on.

Go on.

How 'bout getting' up,

junior?

Come on.

Get up.

What's the matter?

It's on sidesaddle.

I'll fix that.

How's that? Better. Thanks.

How 'bout a little

breakfast? Wouldn't hurt.

Why don't you

let her get it?

That's not

a bad idea.

Come on, get up.

Hey!

She's a sound sleeper,

this kid.

- She's gone!

- Gone?

I thought so. My knife!

Our money... 42 cents!

It's gone. My watch...

My grandfather's watch!

We're clean. She didn't

leave us change of a match.

Serves us right for

getting' mixed up with a dame.

Where'd she go? I tell

you, Caesar, I do not know.

Where is she? Everything I

know I have already tell you.

She has gone with the Americans. Aah!

Good morning to you.

- Where's my knife?

- Right here.

I tried to sell it;

but the man, he laughed.

Where's my watch?

Right here.

That was my

grandfather's watch!

Could you eat it? No, but you

can't take things like that.

Why don't you ask us

when you want something?

Did you buy this too? I got

that from where I used to live.

This is mine. Why didn't you hock

that instead of my grandfather's watch?

Because in Kaigoon

you do not need a watch.

This we may need.

Ah.

There is a spring in the forest.

Go get some water.

Go on.

And you can build a fire. Huh?

You'll find firewood

right outside.

Go ahead.

Hurry up.

When shadows fall

And the night

is dark and deep

I've a rendezvous

That I must keep

Or my poor heart

Would not sleep

I have two friends

The strangest company

The gay

lighthearted moon

And the willow tree

The sad willow tree

And when we meet

I notice suddenly

The moon

begins to smile

But the willow tree

Starts weeping for me

Somehow I know

it's about my love

The willow

must doubt my love

Will ever appear

And yet

The moon

seems to say

My love

will soon be here

Which one is right

They never quite agree

The smiling moon

And the weeping

Willow tree

Da-da-da-da-dee

Da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-dee

Da-da-da-da-da

Where you going'?

Oh, I...

I need some air.

The night air's bad for

you. Back in the net. Yeah.

The smiling moon

And the weeping

Willow tree

Mama!

Where's Mima? She come and get her clothes.

Where'd she go? She do not tell me.

If she comes back,

find out where she lives.

And do not say

I have been here.

Thank you.

You've certainly had

a busy life.

Yes, and my father...

he had so much life in him...

the way he laughed!

It made people feel good

just to be near him.

- What was your mother like?

- Oh, she was very beautiful.

She was a dancer.

My father met her in Algiers...

and they were married

that very day.

Where, uh...

When did he...

My father was killed.

My mother did not

live long afterwards.

Oh, that's tough.

How'd you happen to get

mixed up with this... Caesar?

After my father died,

my mother had a hard time.

She worked with Caesar.

I think he was in love with her.

After she was gone,

I just kept on with him...

because I did not

know anything else.

It was all right

while I was young, but...

now,

the way Caesar acts,

I think it is good

I am away from him.

You think she's working'

on us? How do you mean?

The cooking and the routine

about her father and mother.

What is that?

Yeah, how 'bout this?

Moving' in, taking' charge...

she's getting' kind of clubby.

She's really dreaming it up.

What does she want?

Got me worried. Me too.

First thing we know,

she'll be getting' our slippers,

sending out the laundry,

and lighting' my pipe.

Yeah.

Shh.

Break it up.

There.

That is better.

See what I mean?

What are you doing'? I must

keep the place clean for you.

You cleaned me out good...

out of watches.

You will get your watch back

as soon as you go to work.

- Work?

- Work!

Listen, fellas,

I want you to stand there

and admire me for a while.

I got an idea that's

going to make us a fortune.

I don't know how I do it! What do you got?

Soap and water,

that's what!

And stuff a guy in

a medicine show told me about.

All you have to do is get me

some bottles... any kind.

Bottles? Big bottles, small

bottles, pints, quarts...

- Help!

- If I get you...

Help!

What's the matter?

- She's got it.

- I have not.

What has she got?

What has she got!

She's got...

An apple for the teacher

Will always do the trick

That's enough.

Suckers are in.

Now folks, we'll regale you

with a slight song.

You vamp me, brother? One vamp coming up.

Do you remember Yuba

who played on the tuba

And made the rumba

such a popular beat

The old peanut vendor

was a solid sender

Not to mention

Piccolo Pete

Of course you've heard of

Sammy from Alabammy

That old accordion man

Well, while

we're on the subject

Do you know

how the beguine began

Music soothes the savage

That's a well-known phrase

But your heart becomes

full of kettle drums

When the sweet potato piper plays

Go on, throw your hats up

Shout a few hoorays

'Cause you can't hold back

you're just a jumping' jack

When the sweet potato piper plays

Though it's not

a magic flute

There's a fascinating' toot

It's not exactly beautiful

It's sort of like

I don't know

I guess you call it cute

Sunbeams try

new dance steps

Songbirds

sound their "A's"

And the world joins in

with a great big grin

When the sweet potato

piper plays... play piper

Well, yes.

Naturally!

When the sweet potato

piper plays

Get me out of this.

Sunbeams

try new dance steps

Songbirds

sound their "A's"

And the world joins in

with a great big grin

When the sweet potato piper plays

Now, ladies and gentlemen,

my associate...

has an item he wishes

to describe to you.

This contains no grit,

grime or grease;

made from bark, root,

herbs and berries.

For your kind indulgence, I want to

introduce Spotto, the miracle worker.

Remove spots, stains,

blemishes of all kinds,

and will make your clothes

the color of snow.

Pure as the driven snow!

You know what snow is.

No, I guess

you don't.

Who'll take

the first bottle?

I'm going to pass it among you

so you can inspect it.

There you are...

Spotto, the miracle worker!

The dollar bottle,

selling for 50 cents,

is now available for a

quarter. Down to a quarter?

I'll take a dime.

Dipped to a dime.

A cigar coupon.

An old razor blade.

A beat-up yam.

A bus ticket.

We're going to make

a fortune, all right.

Wait, don't sell another

bottle. Back in the trunk.

I have one more attractive offer

to make before we close.

I'm going to remove any spot

in the crowd free of charge.

A demonstration!

That's it.

If somebody will just walk in. Ahhh!

There's your man.

Agh!

There's your man. A volunteer. Yes, sir.

Gentlemen, please... the suit. Oh, wait.

Where's your broom?

Have you any spots?

Only when I open my eyes. You

must have a spot somewhere.

What is this blemish

here? That is my moustache.
