have crept into my own house...
vilifying and besmirching
my honesty...
my fair name...
my integrity.
You talk a lot,
but I don't know how much you say.
There's nothing
to these silly rumors.
The sole purpose of our endeavor is the
musical betterment of American youth.
The way you put it,
it doesn't sound so bad.
Oh, you're a sensitive, intelligent
and highly creative person.
Let's talk this over.
I'm sure we can get together.
I've still got my doubts.
Serious doubts.
Make yourself comfortable.
Relax.
Have a smoke.
Have a cigar.
Don't mind if I do.
Something to eat?
Hot cakes, layer cakes,
fish cakes, peanut brittle...
the blue plate special
or chicken pot pie.
I don't mind if I do.
Something to drink?
Schnapps, sake,
slivovitz, Schwepps...
tequila, turtle tears
or just plain cocoa.
- I have no objection.
- Oh, but wait.
For such a distinguished guest,
the pride of our cellars.
Vintage pickle juice.
From our very own
pickle vineyards.
Just whiff that bouquet.
Cheers.
- Shall we dance?
- Don't mind if I do.
Come on
It's time we got together
'Cause it's get-together weather
And in get-together weather
together is just what we got to get
Come on
The weatherman's insisting
This is weather beyond resisting
This is get-together weather
Together is just what we got to get
What wonderful weather
to go on an outing
What wonderful weather
to run around shouting
What wonderful weather
for love to be sprouting
It's mighty fine weather
I hope that it stays
What glorious weather
for zipping and zooming
What glorious weather
for hearts to be blooming
What glorious weather
for briding and grooming
It's mighty fine weather
we're having these days
Come on
The weatherman's reporting
That the weather's right
for sporting
And for love
and assorted courting
Together is just what we got to get
What marvelous weather
for cooing and billing
For yodeling, warbling
gargling, trilling
What marvelous weather
for dally-down-dilling
What marvelous weather
Hey, hey, what a day
What fabulous weather
for loping and leaping
What fabulous weather
for bipping and beeping
For schnipping and schnupping
and schnooping and schneeping
What fabulous weather
Oy vey, what a day
Come on
The weatherman's announcing
That the weather's right
for flouncing
And for b-b-b-b-b-bouncing
This is get-together weather
Together is just what we got to get
Come on
The weatherman's announcing
That the weather's right
for flouncing
And for b-b-b-b-b-bouncing
This is get-together weather
Together is just what we got
To get
Well, that was a pleasant
little interlude.
Now get back to your work,
Mr. Zabladowski.
Thanks, Doctor.
I had a very good time.
You can count on me, sir.
Cigar?
Good-bye, Mrs. Collins.
Mrs. Collins,
get me the physics laboratory.
Yes, sir.
One moment, please.
Physics laboratory.
When the plumber Zabladowski
has installed the last sink...
I want him disintegrated.
I want you
to disintegrate him slowly.
I want him to suffer,
atom by atom.
At dawn.
Mrs. Collins,
you had better come with me.
You're beginning to build up an immunity
to my little hypnotic trances.
I think you'd better
spend tonight...
in your lock-me-tight.
- Please, Dr. Terwilliker.
- There's too much at stake.
There'll be no further liaisons tonight
with the plumber Zabladowski.
You. You get out of my life.
You lied to me.
- I did not.
- You did so.
There's nothing wrong
with that Dr. Terwilliker.
He's daffy at times, but he sets a fine
table and gave me this excellent cigar.
But how about my mother?
Say, there is a beautiful woman.
And as soon as I get the sinks in-
You were tricked,
Mr. Zabladowski.
Sure, I was tricked.
You tricked me.
But I have terrible news for you-
they're gonna disintegrate you at dawn.
You're crazy. You're lying again.
Get outta here. I got work to do.
Listen to a kid,
it gives you nothing but trouble.
Get back to your cell.
Go on!
Now,just because we're kids
Because we're sort of small
Because we're closer
to the ground
And you are bigger
pound by pound
You have no right
You have no right
To push and shove
us little kids around
Now,just because your throat
Has got a deeper voice
And lots of wind to blow it out
At little kids
who don't dare shout
You have no right
You have no right
To boss and beat
us little kids about
just because you've whiskers
on your face to shave
You treat us like a slave
So what
It's only hair
just because
you wear a wallet near your heart
You think you're twice as smart
You know that isn't fair
But we'll grow up some day
And when we do, I pray
We won't just grow
in size and sound
And just be bigger
pound by pound
I'd hate to grow
Like some I know
Who push and shove
Us little kids around
Hey, kid!
Hey, Bart, come here.
Would it help
if I said I was sorry?
No, 'cause
you're not a bit sorry.
Come here, Bart, over here.
I just wanna get one thing straight-
I didn't mean to push you around.
I don't like anybody
that pushes anybody around.
Now, do you believe me?
Well...
maybe.
Right now
I don't like you very much.
I'm a likable fellow
when you get to know me.
I'm not so sure anymore.
Well, how can we be friends again?
Well...
you could take out those sinks.
What good would that do?
It would stop Terwilliker from opening
this place, and my ma would be saved.
I told you,
I wouldn't worry about your ma.
You wouldn't, but I would.
Look, let's make sense,
shall we?
How can I start taking sinks out
when I'm being paid to put sinks in?
Time and a half overtime.
That's a lot of money.
- How much are you being paid overtime?
- Two thousand pastoolas.
Two thousand what?
Two thousand pastoolas.
Dr. T. doesn't pay me in American money.
He keeps that for himself.
He pays me in pastoolas.
What are pastoolas?
The currency here
is a little strange.
First of all comes the drakmids.
At the normal rate of exchange...
there are 59 drakmids
to one silver zlobek.
Zlobek?
Three silver zlobeks
make one golden kratchmuk.
A pastoola normally
is 44,000 kratchmuks.
But these, they tell me,
are not normal times, so-
Pastoolas, kratchmuks.
How much do you get American?
Precisely 20 bucks.
Show me a better job, and I'll take it.
- You will?
- Oh, sure, sure.
- Will you take the sinks out for $30?
- Oh, sure, sure.
- Will you shake on that?
- Oh, sure.
- Mr. Zabladowski, you work for me now.
- Okay, boss man.
I'm gonna get you
all the money you want.
Wait, Bart! Come back!
I was only kidding!
I don't care anything about money!
Mom! Mom!
- I don't recollect your features, do I?
- No.
- You a piccolo player?
- No.
- Trombone player?
- No.
- Violin player?
- No. A piano player.
Then you have no right
in this particular dungeon.
This is reserved exclusive
for non-piano players.
Non-piano players?
For them what play
all other instruments.
