You're gonna have a

real accident in a minute!

- The wheel is comin' off!

- That's what I thought.

Going to be very dangerous.

- I'm gonna jump.

- Huh?

Have to take the boat

from here on, anyway.

Looking for someone?

You better stop by the station and

see about that $5,000 reward, Mr. Sous.

This sure is your

lucky day, Mr. Sous.

Here's a check for $10,000 from the

Tela-Vis Company for that story you told us,

as well as a contract

for you to bring it to the screen.

Looks like it's all here, Mr. Skinner,

including the Beefsteak Mine.

I don't know whether it is or not, but allow

me to give you another hearty handclasp.

Judkins, has Mr. Sous

had his cafe rum a la papa?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Thank you, dear, I've had a double noggin.

- What time is it, daddykins?

- It's one minute till 9:00.

I gotta get down to the sal...

The, uh, office.

Good-bye, Daddy dear.

- Good-bye, dear.

- Gimme a kiss.

- I'll give you two of 'em.

- Good-bye, pater noster.

- Good-bye, dear.

- Take care of yourself.

- I shall, dear.

- Good-bye, my darling.

Hurry home if you feel like it.

I'll be waiting up as usual.

Oh, thank you, dear.

I'll be home early.

Hey, that doesn't look bad,

does it?

I think, sir, this

is the more appropriate.

Yeah, that's nice

and cool though. Thanks.

Thank you.

Good-bye.

Thanks.

Thank you.

What a changed man.

- You deserve a lot of credit, Agatha.

- Hasn't been easy.

Uh, say! Hey!
