The Milky Way

---

Gentlemen,

we are here to do homage...

to one who has filled

the bottle of achievement...

one who rose to the top...

uh, just like our cream.

This man has faithfully

delivered our products...

achieving a record for which

we may all be justly proud...

the unbelievable record

of 428 points.

Mr. Levinson,

I congratulate you.

Thank you.

And now, fellas, l...

Uh... Mr. Levinson thanks you,

I'm sure.

And there are others

among you...

who are deserving

of honorable mention.

You, Mr. Ackerman, for your

splendid record of 397 points.

But there is another man...

who has been with us

but a short time...

but in that short time

has achieved a wonderful record.

I congratulate you,

Mr. Snodgrass.

And you, Mr. Scott, are

deserving of honorable mention.

And you. And you.

And you. And...

I'll see you later.

Now, just a moment's chat

about the pulse of our public...

Now, in this area here,

we find...

In this area here,

we find that our sales...

I say, in this area...

our sales are falling

far below what they should.

There is no reason...

Please.

Please.

We find in this area here that

our business is falling off...

while that of our competitors

seems to on the increase...

As I was saying,

that in this area...

In this area,

I'm telling you...

that we find our shares are

falling below what they should.

We are losing all our customers!

Now, something is wrong!

Now the question is,

what is wrong?

Why is it, I ask you?

There's the reason!

I can see it now.

That's what's wrong!

Burleigh,

what's the matter with you?

I just drank some ink.

You know how that is.

No, I don't. I never drink ink.

Some of the boys been

playing tricks on you?

- Who gave you that?

- Oh, no one gave it to me, sir.

Well, probably that clown...

who's been doing

the hiccoughing in there.

- Oh, no, sir?

- How do you know?

Get in there.

Harvest Moon, checkroom.

Hello, sis? You all ready to go?

Mm-hmm. Yeah,

I'm leaving right away.

All right,

I'll be waiting out in front.

I think it's terrible...

little girl

waiting out in front.

Heh. Me, too.

Yes, Burleigh. Uh-huh.

Well, I'll be there

anytime you say.

- So will I.

- Heh. Me, too.

Don't worry. I'll be there.

I think the guy

ought to stay home.

Me, too.

Good-bye.

You know,

I'm glad you're through...

'cause I was gettin'

a little tired.

Heh heh...

Yes, I know... you, too.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Pardon me.

You gave us the wrong hats.

Ohh, that's very funny.

If you tell me

where the act's playing...

I'll try and miss it.

Ha ha ha.

Yeah.

We like you.

We don't.

Listen, what happened?

Did you lose your address book?

Yes.

- Yes, what?

- Yes, ma'am.

Hmm. That's what I thought.

Good night.

Where you going?

You give me my hat.

Heh heh.

Give me my hat.

Listen, I've got a great idea.

Let's all go over to your house.

Did it ever occur to you that

I might be somebody's sister?

Hello, sis.

Listen, I'm warning you!

My brother's a very tough man.

She's got a brother

She's got a brother,

she's got a brother

Burleigh!

All fall down

Burleigh!

Burleigh!

- Burleigh! Burleigh!

- Burleigh! Burleigh!

- Burleigh!

- Burleigh!

Burleigh! Burleigh!

- Burleigh!

- Burleigh!

What's happening?

What's the matter?

Say, you fellas

can't do this.

- Who are you?

- Well, I'm her brother.

How do we know?

Yeah, yeah.

Can you identify yourself?

Huh?

It's a serious thing,

posing as somebody's brother.

What's your name?

Puddin' 'n' Tain. Ask me again,

I'll tell you the same.

Raaah!

Oh, Burleigh,

let's get out of here!

You hear what he said?

He started it.

He put it on himself!

Come on, Burleigh.

You're outnumbered.

No, they're probably gangsters.

Should be arrested.

I've got to do my duty

as an American citizen.

Give me that again.

What's your name?

Joe Monroe. Ask me again,

you still won't know.

He said it again!

He repeated! He repeated!

I'll give him a last chance

to make a dying statement.

This is silly, Burleigh,

and dangerous.

It's all right, sis.

I know a million of 'em.

He can't get away with that.

This is it. What's your name?

Poo Poo Padoo... that's who I am.

And who are you?

That's it!

Fight! Fight!

In front of the club!

Hurry, hurry!

Let's go see the fight!

Who's fighting?

Everyone,

get down on the ground!

Now, any of you mugs

know these mugs?

I don't know this guy.

But this guy...

is the middleweight champion

of the world.

Hey, I'd like

to shake the hand...

of the man that knocked out

the middleweight champion!

So would I!

Extra! Extra!

Read all about it!

Middleweight champion

knocked out by truck driver!

Read all about it! Extra!

Well, they kind of got you

in a spot, ain't they, Gabby?

Yeah. Every time I leave town,

something happens!

That is news. As a rule...

something happens,

and then you leave town.

Oh, I see. Wise guy. I though

you were a faithful reporter.

Listen, I don't want

to hear any more...

Aw, inside, inside.

You'll lose it.

Ha ha ha. Come on,

let's get out of here.

Speed.

Oh, Speed.

Oh...

Spider! Spider!

Wait! Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute.

It's me, Spider!

How did I get this mouse?

Ooh. I don't know.

I wasn't with you.

Oh.

- Yes, you were.

- Was I?

Of course you...

Weren't you?

What?

What?

You shouldn't come in here

when Gabby's out of town.

He might think

it wasn't on the level.

He wouldn't understand

anything that was.

- Good morning, Plato.

- Plato what?

Let's keep it simple.

How did you get that?

Oh, uh... this?

Oh, you see, uh,

I was shadowboxing...

And the shadow won?

No, no. You see,

it was like this.

Uh, uh... Spider came in,

and we started to spar...

and... and I ran into one.

Where were you

when I called last night?

- Uh... in the shower.

- Tub.

More accidents happen

in bathrooms.

Look.

That's the story of the lion

and the mouse.

It's a lie!

Then sue the paper.

What's it say?

"Truck driver

knocks out champion."

Ooh, it must be some other mug.

Yeah, some other

middleweight champion.

There ain't no other

middleweight champ.

Not officially.

Listen, Ann, be a pal.

You're not gonna say anything

to Gabby about this, are you?

He reads just as easy.

Oh, but he's in Philadelphi.

I hear they got

a paper there now.

Gabby, you're his manager,

aren't you?

I'll give you a statement

in ten minutes!

Well, it better be ten minutes,

or we'll write one of our own.

Yeah, but you don't

know what it means...

to lose your reputation,

walk down the street...

and have the whole town

talkin' about you.

No? Heh.

Well, twelve years ago

in my hometown...

I went on a hayride.

- What's that got to do with it?

- Nothing...

except they're still

talking about it.

Let me see that.

Oh, that'll be all right

in a few days.

Oh, hello, Daddy.

Remind me to ask you later what

you were doing in here with him.

I wish you cared.

Well...

You dumb cluck.

You thick-skulled gorilla.

What do you think
