Hey, Tommy, we got

Grover in there!

Good. I've got some unfinished

business to take care of.

Come on out, Grover!

You've got nothing on me.

- Wasn't there anything on that negative?

Yes. It wasn't a good picture of me.

- No, nor of me.

Go upstairs and peddle

your store.

Not before we get a shot of you first.

- No, no, please!

Don't take a picture of me yet.

- Go on, take his picture.

No! There's a gun concealed

in one of those cameras.

So that's why you wanted them

to take my picture alone. Why, you...

I told you in the first reel

he was a crook.

Come upstairs before the

Hastings brothers change their minds.

Perhaps they'll buy me out too. Tommy,

whatever you want to do is all right.

Thank you, Aunt Martha.

- O Martha, Martha, how I love you.

Hey, Flywheel.

I've been looking for you.

I'm from the finance company.

You haven't made a car payment

for 12 years.

You can't fool me this time.

I know who you are.

You're one of Mr. Flywheel's

assistants.

Don't you just love working

for a man like Mr. Flywheel?

Look, lady, cut out

the double talk.

He hasn't made a payment

on that car for 12 years.

I'll see that you get a check

in the morning, old man.

Miss Phelps' residence.

Sid Kuller

Sid Kuller (27 October 1910 New York City, New York – 16 September 1993 in Sherman Oaks, California) was an American comedy writer, producer and lyricist/composer, who concentrated on special musical material, gags and sketches for leading comics. He collaborated with Ray Golden and Hal Fimberg on the screenplay of the Marx Brothers' vehicle The Big Store, for which he also supplied the lyrics to the musical climax, "The Tenement Symphony". Earlier in their careers, Kuller and Golden wrote comedy songs and special material for the Ritz Brothers. Although he wrote prodigiously and with facility throughout his life, Kuller admitted, "The creation of comedy is a painful experience". more…
