- And papers.

- These all also papers?

Also these papers,

and deliVer them to the addressee

indicated on the outside

of each item. Is that clear?

I was gonna say while you were

saying it, it's Very clear.

If I see it says to go to a place,

I'll go there.

But if I don't,

then it won't be clear.

Good. Now.

Now for the important part.

Now, you know, Morty,

I am a Very patient man.

I noticed before

how terrific your mind is.

And it takes a great deal

for me to become unhinged

- for one reason or another.

- Yeah.

But you see, when my nerVes tip me

off that I'm going to become unglued,

that's when I haVe to assert myself,

do you understand that, Morty?

You're about to smack people, right?

That's when I haVe to assert myself!

Oh, if you just don't bang.

Is that clear?

Oh, that scared me and it's clear.

Is there more you're gonna tell me?

Because I wanna rest a second.

- Yes! Yes, there's more.

- Oh, tell me, then.

- The best part.

- Don't hit, though.

When you go out that confounded

screen door, I want you to be sure...

And let me repeat this,

I want you to be absolutely sure

that the screen door does not slam!

I'll be Very careful

that it won't make a noise.

- Thank you!

- You're welcome, sir.

Now, pick up these packages,

enVelopes and...

The enVelopes and...

- And I take them all at the same time?

- Please do.

Packages and the enVelopes.

I can take them...

I'll take the packages,

and then I can carry the enVelopes

at the same time?

All of the things,

and I won't let that door slam.

And the let...

And all of the deliVering parts.

EnVelopes and packages...

And I'll carry all of that

to the names of whatever

is on the address.

I got a typewriter too.

I better leaVe the machine.

And watch that door, Morty!

Yeah. It won't slam. I was worried

about the noisy typewriter.

Morty!

Don't!

That Lindbergh sure had guts,

didn't he?

All the way by himself.

It's all water.

Eleven. Anyone for 11?

TwelVe. TwelVe out, please.

Let them out.

Thirteen.

Thirteen.

This is 13!

Do you smoke, ma'am?

Thank heaVens.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I never would... I've...

You look just... I don't...

Really. Never before I...

Well, I...

Somehow I haVe a feeling

it's Very close to lunchtime.

Well, so it is.

And I would judge by the grip

on the lunch boxes

and the amount of moisture

around the lips,

that the lunch bell should ring

in about 15 seconds.

Now, when that bell rings,

it means you haVe exactly 30 minutes

to eat your lunch.

Not 31 minutes, mind you.

Thirty minutes.

Now, we usually eat right here

in the office to saVe a little time.

And now,

for you ladies and gentlemen,

who enjoy early dinner music

for lunch,

it's the lovely, soft

and tender strains of Cordovan

and his world-famous string quartet

playing "Stout Grain".

You dropped your lettuce.

Oh...

And...

There are all three of them that...

That's from...

All four of them, and...

Did I see them on teleVision or what?

And that's what I thought when I...

Sandwich.

Oh, you're scared also.

Could I haVe an autograph

for my tele? Family?

Hello. I was sent...

From the Production Department.

Are you the errand boy?

Yeah, I was gonna say that.

I'm the errand boy.

They told me to come oVer

and relieve you.

Thanks. I'll only be a minute or two.

All right. What do I do, just take?

Oh, that's a little... I'm sorry.

I just take the checks and...

All right.

Thank you.

How do you work that?

- Hello.

- Hello.

- And what'll you haVe?

- I want 25 cents' worth of jelly beans.

Twenty-fiVe cents' worth?

Those are Very good, those bonbons.

You want jelly?

What about the? Licorice would

be good, don't you think so?

A dollar a pound.

Twenty-fiVe cents, a quarter pound...

A quarter...

Here you are, dear.

Thank you.

Jelly beans. That's the best.

Boy, I've got...

Here's an extra one.

And what would you like to haVe, dear?

I would like 25 cents' worth

of those jelly beans too.

That's not good to...

Twenty-fiVe...

Wonder what would happen

if the woman was here.

She'd...

What happened to this?

It's not...

Well, you get extra this way, but just...

This is Very good.

Here. You can split the extra part.

With her.

It's Very hot in here.

I'll leaVe it out.

And I suppose you want 25 cents'

worth of jelly beans too?

No, thank you Very kindly, sir.

"No, thank you Very kindly."

Very nice little boy. Polite.

I like children that are polite.

I'm glad. This is...

...the heaViest jellies...

All right, sonny, what would you

like to haVe?

I would like to haVe 10 cents'

worth of jelly beans.

Geronimo! Banzai!

You little monsters!

Cut! Cut!

Cut! Hold it! Cut!

Hold it! Hold it!

Well, you haVen't had

any word from the kid yet?

There hasn't been any word

yet from this...

Oh, no, no. Not a word, T.P., sir.

I see. Well, are you sure

that nobody knows anything?

And I'm sure that nobody

knows anything about it...

Oh, positiVe. PositiVe, sir, T.P.

- I mean, does anybody suspect?

- Does anybody suspect?

Oh, you can rest assure, sir,

that no one even knows that he's aliVe.

Now listen, and listen loud!

Listen to the man.

When you go and come out of here,

we want you to come and go

and get in here in short order.

Get it in, get it out.

Get it back. Get it forward.

Get it fast, get it slow. We're on

a big thing. When I say go...

Right? Right. Check.

Did he see me?

Did he see me?

Kidding around, you know.

- Morty!

- Yes, sir.

Do you know where the

Stenographic Department is?

You go right out here, turn to your right,

go into the building, go up three flights.

The quickest way for you to go

is to make a turn...

I'm not going, you're going!

Oh, all right.

I just want to be sure

you know where it is.

Yes, sir, I do.

Now, these are Very important

script changes

- for Gun-fighters of the Prairie.

- Yes, sir.

Now, they need this stuff

right away.

They're probably gonna

shoot it this afternoon.

- So get going.

- Yes, sir.

- And Morty?

- Yes, sir?

- Please...

- Oh, don't worry.

No, don't worry, sir.

I mean, what can happen?

I'm just gonna deliVer the papers,

that's all.

Morty, don't slam the... door.

They told me...

Is this where you bring all the?

They said to bring the...

Here are the papers.

They said I should bring here,

this paper here,

to haVe...

To haVe the papers...

Take inside...

The Gunslinging in Your Belt part.

No, I'm working on

The Sea of the Big Pirates.

Miss Herok, back there in the corner,

is working on

The Gun-fighters of the Prairie.

Oh, I'm sor... Thank you.

Then I'll bring all the pages from the...

Are you Miss Hammond?

Are you the?

Are you the girl that?

Are you the girl that?

Are you Miss Har?

Yeah, well, I brought the

Gunsl... Part...

Those are blue page changes.

I only work on white pages.

I think you're gonna haVe to see

Miss Calonica.

She's oVer there.

She works on the blue pages.

Oh, all right. Then her.

That person is gonna take that.
