The Bank Dick Page #2

Uh, I'll put you in

later on, dear.

Uh, give me...

What's the matter, Pop?

Don't you love me?

Don't you dare strike that child.

She's not gonna tell me

I don't love her.

- Those eyes.

- Those eyes.

Those ears.

That nose.

Oh, Godfrey Daniel!

Mother of pearl!

The child's only playing

with you, you fool.

I don't understand her "funning. "

Let's...

Now to continue.

Those ey...

Uh... Thanks.

Study that script.

Say, Joe.

Mr. Sous! Mr. Sous!

How do you like that?

Mr. Greene, you haven't

another thing to worry about.

I'm perfectly okay.

You look it.

- Getting quite late.

- It is!

- See you're still at it.

- Serves ya right.

- Be courteous, James.

- Yes, ma'am.

We'll leave the motor running.

Come on.

Pass over all that dough,

and do it quietly.

Imagine parking his car in front of a

"no parking" sign with the engine running!

Two buck fine will do him a lot of good.

Let's take it to headquarters.

Don't forget to keep

your foot off that alarm.

Somebody must've nailed the car.

Let's take it on the lam.

Help! Help! Police, help!

Please help! Robbery!

Help! Help! Police!

- Let's split that money up right now.

- Keep goin'.

- Supposing we get split up?

- What of it?

- How much money you got? Start counting.

- No!

- Don't you trust me?

- I don't trust nobody. Not even my mother.

- Give me my end.

- Turn loose of me.

Bank robbers. Two of 'em.

Went down this alley.

"Out to tea. Joe. "

Be drinkin' sarsaparilla next.

- Gimme half of that dough.

- I will not!

Must be another holdup somewhere.

There they are!

Grab him while I put these on.

That's not one of the crooks.

That's Mr. Sous.

Yeah, Sous.

Accent grave over the "E."

Fine job apprehending this desperado

and retrieving the bank funds.

- What?

- You saved the $50,000. That's the most important part.

Yeah, 50,000 ain't hay.

- Other fella got away on you, huh?

- What happened?

Uh, yes! Yes! He got away.

Pulled a knife on me.

- An assegai.

- Lucky you had that revolver.

- You always carry it with you?

- Take this.

We detectives gotta do those things.

Never know when you're gonna catch

a couple of bank robbers.

Mr. Skinner would like to see you and

thank you after what's just happened.

- Why don't you drop into the bank?

- I'll tell 'im about it.

- Which way did the other fella go?

- There was another fella?

- He went away.

- Away where?

Look out there!

I'll give him a punch in the nose.

See those handcuffs

are on tight, will ya?

- Come to headquarters and identify this fella.

- Okay.

I'll break every bone in his hand.

- Myrtle should be proud to have a father like you.

- I guess she is.

No wonder,

after a thing like that.

Elsie Mae Adele Brunch Sous's father

just caught a burglar.

And he tried to cut his throat

with a knife about this long!

Yeah.

And he had a gun

about this big!

- You don't say?

- Did you kill him with one bullet?

Mm-hmm.

- Ohh, jiminy, you're pretty good.

- Jiminy!

One or two bullets. I was so busy shooting

him. That's the way I catch burglars.

- Do another!

- Oh, boy!

- Will you teach me?

- Ooh, that's swell.

I'll teach you

when you grow up.

I never smoked a cigarette

till I was nine.

Sign my autograph book,

Mr. Souse?

"Sou-say," son.

Accent grave over the "E."

- There's the accent grave.

- I saw you through the window.

- Oh, did ya?

- A knife four feet long, eh?

I'll say that the sword

Lee surrendered to Grant...

was a potato peeler by comparison.

You better come in and have

a little poultice on the house.

Don't mind if I do.

Mr. Sous? Here's the interview

you gave me for my paper.

- Look it over and see if it's correct.

- Oh, thanks.

I'll pursue it instanta.

Oh, yes!

"Skinner's National Bank robbed.

Egbert Sous makes daring... "

Hey, you!

"Of loudmouthed McNasty,

alias the Wildcat.

Drawing his revolver...

which he carries

for such emergencies,

he struck McNasty... "

You see, putting things like that

on motorcars is what kills people.

Get outta there!

"For such emergencies... "

The Lompoc Picayune Intelligencer

just got out a special edition...

telling how I apprehended

them two crooks.

For heaven's sake, can't you see

we're playing an interesting game?

There was an article in there telling

how I apprehended a couple of crooks...

who stole $2 million

from Skinner's Lompoc Bank.

You would.

Skinner's Lompoc Bank.

Them's the shylocks that's got

the mortgage on this house, ain't they?

Haunting you from morning till night.

The old pinchpennies!

Why don't you move...

I'm sorry they didn't

get away with the bank.

Leave it to him.

He would do a thing like that.

I think I'll go up

to my room for a moment.

They want me to come down to the bank

to get a reward or job or something.

I'll go down

in the morning.

Don't you smoke

up in your room.

Oh! No, I won't, dear.

What am I doing?

- Hello!

- Hello, honey.

- That was a great stunt your father pulled today.

- Huh?

Two crooks got in the bank

and stole $25,000.

- I never knew your father had so much intestinal fortitude.

- Are you kiddin'?

- No!

- Come on. Let's talk about us.

- Your father took his pistol and hit one of the fellas.

- He hasn't got a pistol.

The paper said your father took a

double-edged assegai from one of the fellas.

- A what's-a-gai?

- An assegai. A sword!

- Where did the newspapers get the story?

- From your father.

He admitted the whole thing

to the police.

Let's talk about us, Og.

Well, I get my bonus pretty soon.

I've already picked out

your engagement ring.

Oh... oh, Oggie.

Oh, golly!

Mmm!

Shucks.

I have an appointment with Mr. Skinner,

president of the bank.

- Step to one side, please.

- Yes.

Thank you, Miss Carroll.

I had an appointment

with Mr. Skinner, the...

Please, just to one side.

Oh.

There you go.

- The president...

- Please, will you step to one side?

Just a moment.

- Nice weather we're having.

- Yes, it is.

- Yes, clever observation.

- How've you been, Mr. Penny?

- Fine, thank you.

- That's good. It's very interesting.

Ah...

Oh.

- How do you do? Oh, yeah. How do you do?

- How are you, sir?

Oh, well as can be expected after that

tussle I put up with those two bandits.

- Oh, yes.

- I went to see the doctor.

He said as a result

of that scrap,

I'll probably have to have a kidney

and gallbladder removed.

- I also may need an appendectomy.

- Mm-mmm.

I saw young Oggilby. He told me

to come up to see the president.

Oh, yes, will you step aside please?

Just step one side.

- Good mornin', sir.

- How are you?

I wanna draw my money

outta the bank.

- You're not gonna close your account with us, are ya?

- I sure is.

- Is there any particular reason?

- Yessir. I'm scared.

Every time I come in here,

you've got your hat on.

Look like you're ready to take off.

It keeps me nervous.

I just wear this hat on account

of hay fever.

Excuse me.

That's all right. I hadn't any right
