That's a good idea.

If that girl ever found out...

Give me a light.

Those matches are soaking wet.

Thank you.

See if my clothes are dry.

Your hat's dry.

That reminds me, you made

a statement this afternoon.

Did I?

You said if we didn't get

the deed, you'd eat my hat.

Now you're taking me

illiterally.

Nevertheless, I'm going to teach

you not to make rash promises.

Eat the hat.

That's silly. Who ever heard

of anybody eating a hat?

Who ever heard

of anybody doing that?

- Eat the hat.

- I won't do it.

If you don't,

I'll tie you to a tree

and let the buzzards get you.

- Would you really?

- I certainly would.

(Squeaks ) I never ate a hat.

Eat it.

(Boing!)

(Twang!)

(Ripping)

(Ripping)

Get my clothes.

Ow!

Shh!

(Whispers ) Wait a minute.

I'll help you.

(Alarm bell rings )

What did you push me

in there like that for?

You're the dumbest thing

I ever saw.

(Whispers ) Hey, hey,

I've got an idea.

Why don't we climb on the shed,

get on the balcony

and go in there

to save us going in the front?

Now, that deserves

consideration.

Hey! Psst! Psst!

Hey, Ollie! Psst!

Are you all right? Psst!

Wait. I'll get a ladder for you.

Won't be a minute. Shh!

I'm going

to get a ladder for him.

- Shh!

- Shh!

We'll follow our original plan

and go through the front.

Now, go ahead.

Do you mind

if I have another idea?

If it's anything like the last

one, yes. What is it?

How about me pulling you up

on the block and tackle?

What are you doing out here?

There's something wrong...

Yes, it's you. Come back to bed.

Scaring me to death...

Here, hold that.

Now, are you all ready?

Upsadaisy.

Now, don't get fancy.

Just get me up there.

(Creaking)

Wait till I spit on my hands.

All right... No!

Upsadaisy.

I'll spit on 'em

again to make sure.

(Creaking)

Uh!

Hand me the end of that rope.

Now hold out your hand.

Hold out your hand.

This one.

Now tie that on the mule.

Tie that on the mule.

Get on the mule.

Get on the mule.

(Clicks teeth)

Hey!

- Where are the tools?

- In the saddlebag.

Hand them to me.

OK.

I'll be right over.

(Ollie yells)

What are you trying to do?

Get the mule down.

Not now.

We'll attend to that later.

- Maybe we can get in here.

- Good idea.

(Hisses )

- Shh!

- Shh!

- Wait there. We'll be right up.

- Shh!

(Brays )

What's the matter?

- Stop laughing in your sleep.

- I'm not.

I'd know your laugh anywhere.

Go to sleep!

Keeping me awake

all night like this...

Psst!

(Whistles )

Shh!

(Screams )

(Ollie ) Ow!

What are you doing here?

As soon as I get out of here,

I'll explain.

(Finn ) Mary!

What are you doing?

Hide me! Hide me!

(Finn ) What's that noise

down there?

(Finn ) Answer me!

Mary!

No! You must hide.

(Finn ) Mary, what's going on

down there? What's that noise?

Why are you roaming around

this late?

- Mr Finn, I...

- You...

Get back to bed and not another

peep out of you.

The idea.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Shh!

Please, what are you doing here?

Come in and I'll tell you

all about it.

- Ollie.

- What?

Wait there.

I'll be right back. Shh!

(Silence )

You put on your clothes

and we'll see you later. Shh!

Ooh!

- Where have you been?

- I told Mary what happened.

When you get the deed,

she'll leave with us.

Good. Where is she now?

She's getting dressed.

She'll meet us outside.

Fine. Now get me out of this.

OK.

Take it easy, now.

You can't...

You can't do it that way.

(Creaking)

Take it easy. Shh!

Maybe I can pull you up

this way.

Maybe I can pull you

all the way through.

Let go, you're choking...

Oh, me apple!

Are you all right?

(Rattle )

(Whirring)

(Rattle of coins )

Oh!

What did you go and do that for?

Well, I didn't know...

Shh!

(Yells in panic)

(Finn ) Mary!

What are you doing down there?

What's going on?

(Finn ) Mary! Mary!

(Finn ) Mary!

(Finn ) Mary!

Will you move over?

(Strums piano strings )

(Furious playing)

Aaah! Oh!

Give me that gun!

Put up your hands! Not you!

- What are you doing?

- Getting those deeds back.

- You can't do that!

- Go on! Go on!

Now get in that room. Go on!

Open the safe and get the deed.

Hurry up.

(Screams )

Get back in that room. Go on.

Now give us that deed.

Come on, take it, Stan.

Get in there and get to bed.

- I-I-I...

- Go on! Shut up!

You can't get away...

- Get in that bed.

- I'll fix you.

Tie him up.

- What are you going to do?

- Never mind.

- Stop that. You can't do that!

- Shut up. Shut up.

You can't do this.

I'll get you for this.

Go and get Dinah.

I'll take care of him.

Let me out of this.

Let me go. You can't do that.

Stop that. Let me down.

Let me outta here.

What are you going to do?

I'll get you for this. Let

me go! Let me go! Help! Lola!

Lola! Lola! Lola! Lola!

Help me, Lola!

Oh!

Hey, come back here! Come back!

Come back! Come back!

Let me out!

Stop! Come back here!

Now our troubles are over,

where do we go from here?

I'd like to return

to my hometown.

- Where's that?

- Way down south.

- You're from the South?

- Sure am.

Well, fan my brow!

I'm from the South.

You are?

Well, shut my mouth!

I is from the South, too.

South of what, sir?

The south of London.

London! Well, honey,

we'll all go down to Dixie.

Oh, for a slice

of possum and yam. Ooh!

Yes, sir, and some

good ol' fish and chips.

Fish and chips(!)

# We're going to go,

# We're going to go

# Where the hens

are doggone glad to lay

# Scrambled eggs

in the new-mown hay
