Thicker Than Water Page #2

- Yes?

- Have you seen my husband?

- He was here a while ago.

Thank goodness for that.

Did he pay you for the furniture?

No.

What was he doing here?

- He bought a grandfather's clock.

- A clock?

- What for?

- For 290 dollars. That's what for.

Here's another nice kettle of fish

you've pickled me in.

What will you tell her

about the clock?

I'll tell her nothing.

I'll keep everything in the dark.

And if you keep your mouth shut,

nobody will be the wiser.

Hello, honey.

- What's the matter?

- Where's the clock?

- What clock?

- The clock you paid 290 dollars for.

Why that's ridiculous.

Where would I get 290 dollars?

Where's that clock?

I don't know. He said

he would keep it in the dark.

And if I didn't keep my mouth shut

then nobody would be the wiser.

Why didn't you keep your trap shut?

Give me that chair.

- Are you cooking something?

- Yes, I'll cook his goose!

Taking my money out of the bank.

I'll give him clocks.

You can go in. The second room

on the right corridor.

Thank you.

- Good morning, Mr. LaureI.

- Good morning.

- How is Mr. Hardy.

- I believe he's convalescing.

Okay. I'll wait untiI he gets through.

I'll sit over here.

Get Mr. LaureI on the phone.

- Have him down here at once.

- That's Mr. LaureI there.

Good. We need you.

Right this way.

I regret to inform you that

Mr. Hardy has had a relapse.

I find it necessary

to give him a blood transfusion.

Mr. Hardy has suggested that you,

being his best friend would be pleased

- to let us take the blood from you.

- How do you mean?

We take some of your blood

and transfer it to Mr. Hardy.

To give him strength

and make him well.

What do you think I am,

a blood-worm?

- Nurse?

- Yes, sir.

Take Mr. LaureI upstairs.

Prepare him for the operation.

- Right this way.

- Wait a minute.

Do I have to take my hat off?.

I'm afraid!

- Ready, nurse?

- Ready, doctor.

Open the valve.

- Doctor! Look!

- Close the valve, quickly!

- It won't work.

- It must. Try it again.

Get the doctor.

- Doctor, that LaureI and Hardy case.

- What's the matter?

Mr. LaureI has passed out.

- We've taken too much blood.

- Reverse the operation.

Take some from Mr. Hardy

and give it to Mr. LaureI!

But that'll get them all mixed up.

What difference does it make.

Do what I tell you!

Yes, sir.

They come to me for everything.

Come on!

Well, here's another nice mess

you've gotten me into.

Well, I couldn't help it.

The doctor sent me upstairs

to get a blood transfusion and

I look like you and you look like me

- now I don't know what to do.

- Shut up and come on!

Goodbye, Mr. Hardy.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Mr. LaureI.

Goodbye, my dear madam.

Wait a minute, I forgot something.
