Ho-ho-ho. You ought to cut a
firebreak in it. Absolutely!
Does your chest ever get
jealous of your upper lip?
A mighty
pretty thing!
There's a spot!
Right there!
Disgusting,
isn't it?
Well, I go. Oh, no, not with our spot.
The spot, she stays. But I go. Wait.
Come right up.
We're not going to harm you.
Watch this... an
amazing demonstration.
Ixnay, ixnay.
You're overdoing it.
A new assistant. Don't worry,
there'll be no extra charge.
Watch closely. I'll
have it gone like that!
Pretty bad spot.
How'd that happen?
Well, I...
Is it ink?
Couldn't be. You have to
be able to write for that.
Is it soup? No, but you're getting hot.
Bubbles a little,
but it'll quiet right down.
Ye gads!
It's alive!
Nothing to worry about. I'll
have it out... just like that?
Look, folks, Spotto,
the housewife's friend,
the working man's delight.
Look. Just like a blonde riding a
white horse through a flock of swans.
What am I going to do
with all this lather?
There's nothing to worry about.
If nobody claims it in 30 days,
brother, it's yours.
That's all right.
You never have to be
alarmed about Spotto.
We're taking' it
on the lam.
All right, just stand by.
I'll clean off that spot.
There you are, my friend.
Just like I told you...
no brush, no lather, no spot.
No coat!
So I am not neat.
Fake!
Fake! Fake!
Why didn't you try out that
stuff before you used it?
I did once before in
Brooklyn. What happened?
Same thing.
Ohm!
Ohm
Ohm
Carry me back
To old Virginie
Ohm
That's where
the cotton
And the corn
and the 'taters grow
Stop it!
Stop it!
I've got work to do, and you're
making a nuisance of yourself.
Yes, and I'm doing an
awfully good job of it too.
I'm going to report
you to the police.
Where's
Mr. Willow?
Your whole attitude
is "abdominal"!
I'm sure that's not
the word I mean.
Mr. Willow?
It's from the home office,
direct to me.
It's probably
that you're fired.
Well, come on.
What does it say?
None of
your business.
It's confidential.
That face!
Who is that face? Mr.
Mallon's son. He's missing.
Missing?
He's here in Kaigoon.
How could he
be in Kaigoon?
How could he be
in Kaigoon? Listen.
I'm walking down the street.
This fellow grabs me,
takes me by the coat. I
struggle, but I cannot get away.
He pulls me.
He pulls me.
All right, he's here.
Let me go. He shakes me.
Then, he throws
some stuff on me.
He rubs and
rubs and rubs...
and rubs and
scrubs and scrubs...
and scrubs and scrubs.
And that's how
I know he's in Kaigoon!
Ace, this is
for cigarettes.
Right?
No, Josh, no.
Do not nail them up.
Just put them over the pole.
That is what it is for.
You know that is
part of the stove too.
Ow!
That did it.
That's the last straw.
Me, too.
"This is for cigarettes, Ace. "
"Better wash the dishes, boys.
Fetch water, chop the wood. "
What are we? Robots? This
is worse than being married.
Only we're
not married.
If we had a wife,
we'd have a wife...
instead of
cauliflower thumb.
We'd probably wind up with
housemaid's knees. That'd be cute.
If you say anything to her,
she looks sad at you...
with those big eyes
and you're cooked.
She's got to go.
Yeah.
Well, I'll call her
in here and you tell her.
What's the matter with you?
You tell her.
I'll call her in and
we'll both tell her.
All right.
Mima.
Hey, Mima.
Yes, what is it?
Ace, please.
Oh, I'm sor...
Did you want me? Ace has
something to tell you.
We've been talking
it over here, and...
we're just a couple
of regular guys.
This
prettying up...
The place was good enough
for us the way it used to be.
Don't you think? If you do not like...
It's not
exactly that.
I don't know. It just
don't seem to work out.
It's just not working out,
this stuff.
A couple of fellows like us,
we like to come and go.
Having a girl around,
it's sort of off-the-elbow.
You mean,
you want me to leave?
Well, that's
the general idea.
I see.
Well...
I was cooking
these beans a new way.
You must keep adding water
or they will burn.
I think
she's leaving.
You wanted her to go,
didn't you?
You wanted her to go,
didn't you? She's going.
All right,
she's going.
Well...
There's nothing
else to say.
Good-bye.
It's not exactly good-bye.
We'll be seeing you
around. Yeah, we'll see you.
This is for cigarettes.
Yeah.
Let's spread out and
get back in the mood.
I thought I handled that
pretty well, didn't you?
You did what? I handled the
situation here pretty well.
This situation?
Who else? Yeah.
What was I doing in there? You were
weakening. I had to back you up.
Digging your toe like
both the rover boys.
I packed her bag and
put her on the bus.
But I was the heavy
in the whole piece.
I had my whip
right there.
I was the man that accomplished
the final brush-off.
You want the bow? Take
a bow. Take a light bow.
There's nobody there. Ta-da.
That's fine. You did it all? I think so.
I'm snookered again.
Partially.
Thank you very much. Thank you. Good night.
Let's get it.
Come on.
Come on!
Listen, I'm not
going to argue with you.
I told you you're coming
with me and that's...
Well, what are you
standing there for?
Go on, get in the house
and fix those beans.
Didn't you hear
what he said?
Hey, you better wipe off
your feet a little. Who?
Hey, where you going? I
got to see a man about a job.
What job?
Just a job.
What are you going to be doing
while I'm gone? I don't know.
You just stay
in the boat, huh?
What for?
Because I want to know
where you are.
Don't give me that baby stare.
I've been hearing things.
Hearing what? About what you've
been doing behind my back.
Like what? Like walking
in the woods with Mima.
What's wrong with walking? Nothing!
But how about those evenings you spent
on the beach holding her hand? What hand?
You've been holding it,
haven't you?
Supposing I have. Maybe
I got to. Oh, you got to?
You got no resistance. I
can love them and leave them.
But the minute they look dreamy
at you, you send for a preacher.
When they look dreamy at you,
their father sends for the preacher.
Why don't you lay off
protecting me?
That's our agreement. No women,
remember? Skip the agreement.
See if you can arrange
to stay in the boat.
What's the matter? Don't you trust me? No.
Look at these, monsieur.
These better than the
others? Oui, much, much.
For any young lady,
these would be very elegant.
15 paseks.
Okay, wrap them up.
Merci, monsieur. Wrap them
up nice with a lot of ribbon.
Very nice, monsieur,
very nice.
Put one of these flowers on
top. Let's go first class. Oui.
What are you doing in here?
Getting myself a few things.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm.
How long you been
wearing these?
All right, so you caught me.
Take a walk, will you?
Where'd you
get the dough?
You hocked my ring. You never
looked good in it anyhow.
There you are, monsieur.
Thank you, I'll take those.
Wait a minute. Whose money paid for them?
