give me the idea, they laugh at it.
No matter.
It is my idea now.
Archie, we didn't know you
at all.
Even I didn't know me.
Well, you'll think differently
after some sleep.
What do you say, Charlie?
I said
He's taking
that advice, anyway.
Well, of all the
Schnitzelbanking little Archdukes,
he gets romantic ideas
from us.
Maybe that's just an alibi.
Oh, I don't know. Mmm-mmm.
A dawn like this plays funny
tricks on a guy's emotions.
Dangerous.
Don't you think we better
wake him up and be on our way?
Oh, what's the hurry? The
paper went to bed long ago.
Get a load of that sunrise.
Swell, isn't it?
Hey, Rusty, I...
I hope I didn't
hurt your feelings before,
you know, when I was shooting
off my face about marriage.
Why should I be hurt?
It's swell if you aren't.
Don't you know any words
but swell?
For you? No.
Maybe everything
we said before
was just a lot
of rosy-tinted bluff.
After all, Rusty, we're
Why be afraid of marriage?
What was that?
I was just keeping a little
promise I made to Charlie.
Thanks for reminding me.
Now, we get
some breakfast, eh?
Oh, and then
I send that cable.
Oh, Charlie, breakfast.
Breakfast.
It is the most beautiful word
in your English language.
Well, maybe, but we're
miles from breakfast.
Oh, no, we're not.
Come on, follow me.
Ist das nicht
ein ham and eggs?
Ja, das ist
ein ham and eggs!
Second helping of ham
and eggs? No, thanks.
Looking at that guy's pictures
has spoiled my appetite.
I don't blame you
for being jealous.
There is something about an aviator's
costume that appeals to women everywhere.
Yes, it is an attractive
costume, isn't it?
You ought to be nuts about
the doorman at the Biltmore.
Archie, your story is finished.
Do you still want it printed?
Can't we talk sense
to you, Archie?
No, let me talk sense
to you.
Listen, Rusty and Charlie...
Comes the revolution?
Take it easy.
You're not home now.
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
What is it? The big shot, he's drowning.
Who swims at this hour?
Is it safe?
It was the only time
it was safe for my boss.
I mean...
Hey, you, step on it!
You gotta save him.
Do you know who that is?
It's Smiles Benson.
Oh, is that so?
You ain't waiting
to take off your pants?
You think I'm going to spoil my
suit for that New York racketeer?
Oh, we've got enough
of our own.
You step on it or else!
Or else what?
Go on, Charlie.
Oh, softie.
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
He took a poke at him.
What do you think
you're doing?
Artificial perspiration.
A barrel might help.
A barrel!
That's right, a barrel.
Work on him, you,
while I get one!
A barrel.
Always calm and collected,
that's me.
Calm, but not collected.
Just breaking in
a new cooling system.
This ought to do for a barrel.
Come here.
Come here.
Feeling better now, Boss?
I'll be feeling better after
I've had a little talk with you.
Where were you
when I was yelling for help?
I was yelling for it, too.
Who are you?
I'm the sap that should
have let you drown.
Did you hear that,
Boss?
And he knocked you out cold
while you was in the water.
Looks like you saved my life.
Well, we all make mistakes.
You didn't make no mistake.
I'm a guy that pays off.
Did you ever hear
of Smiles Benson?
Sure. I've seen your picture,
in the post office.
What do you mean?
Say, I like you.
How would you like to wake up
some morning
and find 20,000 smackers
under your pillow?
Never use a pillow.
That's the way I sleep, too.
You'll find the 20,000
just the same.
Yeah? I'll give it
to a conscience fund.
Okay, but I'm a guy
who pays off.
When somebody does me dirt,
I pay off.
I pay off.
That's because I got a code.
Boss, why don't you let me smack
this guy right in the kisser
and call it square
and this dope, too?
All right, Boss,
all right.
Are you ready
to start the day right
with some good, robust, hale
and hearty setting-up exercises?
Go on, do like the radio says. I
know you've all had a restful night,
no doubt.
Boss...
Go on. Go on.
Each day, born anew.
Ready?
Go on. On your toes,
my hearties. Inhale.
Extend your arms
over your head.
Now, bend. Touch the floor.
Touch the floor.
Touch the floor! That's it.
Now, once more,
with zest and with gusto.
On your toes.
Hands over your head.
Now, bend. Touch the floor.
Touch the floor.
Touch the floor. That's it.
Now, once more.
On your toes. Inhale.
Now, bend. Touch the floor.
Touch the floor. That's it.
What's going on here?
Now, once more.
We just borrowed
your house for a drowning.
Hello, Mr. Blaker.
Oh, it's you, Miss Fleming.
It's quite all right,
I assure you.
Thank you so much.
This is Mr. Smiles Benson
of New York.
And I didn't catch
your handle.
Just call me Squinty.
And Squinty,
also of New York.
And that's my uncle, Archie.
This is Mr. Gordon Blaker,
the famous aviator.
Local talent.
That's what I think,
if you ask me.
Who asked you?
Say, did I order you to do them
setting-up exercises, or didn't I?
Boss... Come on. Turn
on the radio and do them.
The Rise and Shine Club
is shining off now.
See you tomorrow.
Come on, don't think you're
gonna get off that easy.
Take them dirty dishes
in the kitchen and wash them.
Boss.
Go on.
Special news flash.
A few minutes ago,
this SOS was received
from the passenger steamer
Mary Ann on Lake Michigan.
"Foundering in storm.
Our position is... "
But the rest of the message
never came.
At that moment,
the Mary Ann's wireless
evidently went
out of commission.
Until further news, we will
resume our regular studio...
Here's your big chance,
Mr. Blaker.
What do you mean?
What do you think she means?
Get out your plane and we'll
go hunting for the Mary Ann.
It'll be one of the
big stories of the year.
But how am I gonna rescue a shipload
of passengers in an airplane?
Oh, all you have to do is find
them and radio their position.
You'll be the hero
of America overnight.
But I can't go like this.
I've got to get
my motor tested
and have weather reports,
and...
And lose the chance
of a lifetime.
That isn't how
heroes are made. Come on.
Hey, wait a minute.
How about my pay-off?
Jump in the lake again
and we'll be even.
How about my story?
You won't forget?
If you really want it printed, Archie,
take it to the Globe Express yourself.
Maybe Smiles can give you
a lift.
So long, Archie.
Good luck, you two scoundlers.
I love you.
Mr. Smiles, you are lifting me
to the Globe Express, yes?
Now he's giving orders.
Shut up. Go get the car.
Go on.
Say, where do you get
them kind of shirts?
Do you really think
this is a first-page story?
When you see
those headlines,
you'll think
they're in sky-writing.
Provided we get the story.
Well, all we can do is try.
