Hit The Ice (1943)
All right, nurse.
Doc, I feel terrible. This is the worst I've felt all week. Now, just relax, Mr. Fellowsby. Quite frankly your case baffles us, but this next series of tests should explain your high fever. I'll drop in and see you later. Thank you, Doctor. Dr. Burns. Yes, nurse? I don't think there's anything wrong with that man. I think he's faking! I'm sure your diagnosis is based on something as scientific as, say, a woman's intuition. But a little while ago his temperature was normal, and when I told him so, he actually got angry. - What's your name, nurse? - Peggy Osborne. - New here? - Yes, sir, but... You know it's against all rules to tell a patient his temperature. Yes, sir. That nurse is getting suspicious. Why can't we knock that bank over now? Why not, Boss? It's laying right across the street. I could reach out this window and grab a handful of small change. Jump into your duds, we'll hop over there, do the deed, and you'll be back in bed in 10 minutes. It's a perfect alibi... just like you figured. Look, we don't move out of here until the boys from Detroit arrive. Why do we need a couple of outside mugs? Listen, will you leave the brain work to me? I've never seen these boys from Detroit, but they tell me they handle a gun like it was a blonde. Yeah, but how are we gonna know these guys? They're gonna give me the password. They're gonna say, "Is the doctor here?" Give me a couple of those pills that give me the fever, will you? I'm beginning to cool off. There you are, my friend. Just place a quarter and your address in an envelope and we'll mail your picture to you. There you are. Just mail us 25 cents. Weokie! Weokie! Where did you learn that call? Same place you did. 18th Street. Hey, you're not Bill Burns, who was the dumbest kid on our street? The very same, only it's Dr. William Burns now. Gee, I'm glad to see you, Flash. Am I glad to see you. I've got Little Tubby with me. - You remember Little Tubby? - Sure. He's around here someplace. Tubby, oh Tub... He must be down this way. Oh, Tub! Tubby! He's around here someplace. Look out for these things. Tubby! Tub... - Somebody call me? - What are you doing in there? Well, I needed a darkroom to reload my camera. Well, why pick out a trash can? I don't have to pay any rent here. Never mind that. Get out of here. Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I don't want to be helped by strangers. Who's him? That's your old pal, Burns. Don't you remember, Burns the kid? - Bill Burns? - Bill Burns. Bill, I'm glad to see you. How have you been? Get me out. I want to talk to you. Come on. Fire engines. Fire engines. What's he so excited about? An editor promised us a job on a newspaper if we could get him a scoop. Yeah, maybe we could shoot some pictures of the fire. I might be able to help you. Come with me. - Going to the fire, Mack? - Yes, Doctor. Hop in, boys, this may be your break. - Where's the fire? - In your eye. Oooh! Whoo! Whoo! Oh, you clumsy... whew. Tubby, you haven't changed. You're still getting into trouble. Say, Bill, I wonder what the rest of the gang are doing nowadays. You remember Johnny Long? You mean the kid that always played the fiddle? Yeah, he's got a swing band up at Sun Valley. Got me the job as resident physician up there. You hear that? Everybody's going places but us. We'll get rolling. Whoa! Now I know what they mean by share the ride. Hey, what have you got, A or B coupon? Keep quiet. You've got to kick in with an A or B. - Quiet! - Give me something! Hey, you'll have to get off now. I've got to get a retread. Come on, hurry up! Look at that fire! Come on, get the cameras! Oh boy! Oooh! Here, Tubby. Here's your camera. You didn't get hurt, did you? - No. - Thattaboy! Me neither. Get those ladders working! Quick now! Hey, Chiefie! Hey, Chief! Hi, Chiefie! Look at the camera and see the little birdie! A cute little one! Watch! Now, watch the little birdie! Hey! Stand still, will ya? The chief turned into a tree. Now somebody put a ladder in front of me. Get the ladder out of there, will you? Oh, boy! What a fog! Whooo! I'll never be able to drive home in that! Boy, these people look small. I'll have to change the lens. Hiya! - If he falls, he'll break his neck. - What are we going to do? Chief, get that ladder down before he's killed! Flash: Bring him down! Hold it, Tubby! Bring him down! Bring him down! Flash! Flash! Hold it, Tubby. Flash! - Flash! - Swell! Now turn around so I can get your face in the picture! I got it! Oh, it's hot! I can't hang on any longer! Here I come! Whoo! Whoo! Tubby! Tubby! Are you all right? Weokie! Tubby! Oh, Doc! Doc! Oh, Doc! We'll have to take x-rays. Take him down the hall while I make a report. Oh, I forgot her chart. Oh, oh. - What happened? - You've just had a baby. A baby? A boy or a girl? A boy. A boy? - Does it look like me? - Exactly like you. Cute little fellow. I'm so lucky! What! A baby?! It's a man! Hey, Flash! Never mind. No you don't! No you don't! No you don't! I've been looking all over for you. Where've you been? Having a baby. Having a baby? Yeah. Come on, let's get out of here. Wait a minute. We can't. We've gotta find Bill. You gotta have x-rays taken. X-rays? "Surgeonly. " If they come out good, can I have a dozen of them? - Oh, stop! Let's look in here. - The first one. Yeah, we'll start here. - Open it up. Go ahead! - Pardon us. Excuse us, please. You boys looking for somebody? Is the doc here? Well, it's about time you boys got here. Where you guys been? - Working. - Doing what? Shooting people. Perfect day for it. You mean you've already shot somebody today? We've got to make a living, haven't we? How'd you do it? He just sticks 'em up against the wall and shoots 'em. Yeah, at the prices we charge we can't be fussy. Say, were you in on the deal? No, I was shooting a cop down on the corner. Hey, what do you charge for shooting cops? Cops? Free. We make it free for the cops because when we're shooting other people, they never bother us. Now let's get this clear, boys. With me, you've got to keep the shooting down to a minimum. The important thing is to stand outside that bank across the street and cover us when we come out. You want us to cover you when you come out? That's right. You boys are clear on what you're supposed to get for this job? Well, we charge everybody the same... 25. 25? Hey, that's a little steep, isn't it? Well, how do you figure that? Lots of times people come at us so fast that we shoot the back of their heads. We don't get nothing for that. - Getting them in the back of the head don't count? - Oh, no. And if we don't do a good job for you, we won't charge you. - What time? - Just when the bank's about to close. Very, very good. That gives me time to shoot a couple of other people first. Thanks a lot. Those guys better hurry up. The bank will be closed. I know it. Here they come now! Okay, get ready. Get out of the way. I want to make a picture. Hey, what's the idea of them cameras? Hide the guns. Hey, do you want it goin' in or comin' out? - Comin' out. - Comin' out. He got well fast, didn't he? They must be awfully pleased over at the hospital. Never mind that. Get your camera ready. Mr. Fellowsby. Click, click, click, we'll get the whole three of them. You're not getting paid to do that! Oh, I thought I'd pick up a little on the side. Let's get this picture. Come on! - Hold it! - Cover our getaway! - Hold it! - Got it! Got it! Got it! Oh, boy! That's a boy! What's the matter? Hey, everybody! It's after 3:00. Do you want this door open? Wait a minute! Where is everybody? This is a fine way to do business! Somebody might come in and rob the joint. Yeah, let's find out. What is this? - Teller! - Tell who? - Teller! - I'll tell 'er. Where is she? Where is who? I said teller! - Tell 'er what? - Tell 'er nothing. - I want a teller. - Go ahead and tell 'er. I don't care. - No! Teller in a bank! - Tell 'er in a bank. Tell 'er outside. Tell her any place you want! I won't listen. When I say "teller," I don't mean "tell 'er. " - Well, what do you mean? - Teller. - Teller. - Now you've got it. Now I've got it! I don't even know what I'm talking about. Oh, come on! Will you get out of the way? - Don't hit my camera. - Come on, let's look around here. There must be someone here. Don't get so rough. Yoo hoo! Hmm. Hey, Flash! Get the size of the big icebox! Whooo! Anybody in there? Only a couple of guys with a toothache. How do you know they've got a toothache? They've got plaster over their mouths. - The bank's stuck up. - What's this bank got to be stuck up about? - It's no better than any other bank. - It's been robbed. - That's against the law. - Certainly it is. If we're caught in here, they'll blame us for the stickup. We've got to go out and call a cop. - We don't have to. - Get rid of the cameras! - Oh. - Hurry up! Did you know your front door was open? Somebody might come in you don't want in here. That's what I thought when I saw you. Shh! Quiet! You fellows must be new around here. - Where's Robinson? - What's he do? - Teller in the bank. - Tell'er in the bank?! Listen, I don't know what girl you guys are talking about. - Don't you give me the same thing about a girl. - No, no. Where's the rest of the fellows who work here? - Huh? - Where are the rest of the fellows that work here? - The other two guys. They're in the icebox. - No! They're tied up right now. You fellows are busy. There's no sense of me holding up the bank. No, it's been held up once already. - What?! - I say, "In case it gets held up, we're ready. " Oh, good! I'll lock up for you. - Ain't he got a nice smile? - Can you imagine that? He's a nice-looking cop. - He's got us locked in. - Let's find out. Hi-ho on the port side! You landlubbers, down with that mast! Yo! Must be for a small boat, this here one. Uh-oh. It must work by electricity. See if you can find a button. Hello. Bank's closed! Persistent, huh? Bank's closed! Hello! - Hello! Hello! - No, that's the burglar alarm. - The burglar alarm? - Turn it off! Hey, turn it off! Turn off the burglar alarm, will you, please? The cops! Come on! - Don't forget the cameras! - Right. Come on. Turn off that alarm! Ouch! - Oh. - What's the matter with him? He was hurt in the holdup. I've gotta take him across the street to the hospital. Go ahead. Murphy, go along with them and get the story. I was shot. Some guy stabbed me. All right, just have patience. Have patience. Why you... hey, you, come back here! Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! Thank you! So I went in. Pillows were stuffed in the bed to fool us and they were gone. Ridiculous. A man with a fever as high as Fellowsby's wouldn't dare to go out. We'll see. Anything wrong, Doctor? No, not a thing, is there, nurse? They weren't in this room a little while ago. No? Well, that's news to me. If you find out where I was, would you let me know? - I can't understand it. - That'll be all, Miss Osborne. Yes, Doctor. I hope this hasn't upset you. Oh, no, not nearly as much as that racket outside, Doctor. Say, Doctor, how about taking me up to that Sun Valley place you told me about? Yeah, you're going to be the new doc up there, so you can stay right on the case. Hmm, I admit it would be more restful. You know, I'm still a very sick man, Doctor. I can't take all that noise outside. I get so... Just you relax and I'll take care of everything. That nurse almost messed us up good. Yeah. Look, I'll tell you how we handle this. Doc's ambulance gets us out of this hot spot and then we hire the little lady as the nurse in the case. - That handles everything. - What a set-up! Sick in a hospital, with witnesses! Tubby: How do you like that? The teller telled on us... the dirty stool-pigeon! Flash: No, you dope! We're victims of circumstantial evidence! We've got to catch those crooks before the cops catch us! It ain't gonna do us no good! They've got our pictures in the paper! Nobody'll believe us! - Wait a minute! - There that guy made a very fat puss outta me! Shh. Picture! Why didn't I think of that before? We've got a picture of those three crooks! Don't you remember the one you took outside the bank? - Think hard! - Oh. How're you coming along with the picture? Tubby: I just finished it. Hey! This ought to catch those crooks red-handed! - Thattaboy! - Get a load of this! Hey! I didn't know that you was one of the bank robbers! Stop that! Now we've got to get out of town! - Let's get packed. - Okay. Get with it! Here was our chance! All the evidence in the world we had, and what happens? He lets everything... why, you... Oooh! Oooh! Come on, get out of there! And get that grip! Come on! - What did we have, a blackout? - Never mind that! - Come on, pack that grip! - Okay, okay. Get with it! After all, why should I take the chance of going to jail? Why should get myself a record? We've got to blow this town! On second thought, why should we run away? We're not guilty! Come here, wait a minute! Hold that! Unpack that grip! Unpack the grip! Run away... like criminals in the dark! What for? We've done no harm. We've harmed no one. All our lives we've lived a clean, innocent life. Why should I be afraid of cops? Who are we to run away from the police? Why should we fear the police? Why should we fear 'em? We got nothing to fear! That's right. But on second thought, if they came in right now, you know what would happen? They'd take us to jail! Pack that grip! Pack that grip! Hurry up before they get in here! Pack that grip. That's fine. Hiding away like thieves in the dark. For what reason? For what reason I ask you? Why should the police be after us? - Why you asking me? I don't know. - Quiet! Pack the grip. Nice goings on! Like criminals hiding away here. Then again, wait a minute! Why can't we take this to court and fight this out? Unpack that grip. Unpack the grip! Why sneak away? Let's take it to court! You're willing to go to court, aren't you? Well, I am. I've got people to think of. I'll take it to court. I'll take it to the highest courts in the country! That's what I'll do! Let's see, where will I take this? I'll fight them! Why should I be afraid of the cops? But wait a minute! That requires money. We have no money. Mm-hmm, that's food for thought. Yeah, we can't. We gotta get out! We've gotta get away from here! I don't know where we're going but we've gotta sneak out... like cowards... cowards! Wait a minute! We're not cowards! Why should we be cowards? What have we done? What have we done to be ashamed off? Nothing! Certainly not! I should say not! We've done nothing! But can we prove it? We can't prove it! That's the whole trouble. That's the whole trouble in a nutshell! But wait a minute! We've gotta prove it! We've gotta prove it! We can't sneak out like this! We can't sneak out! Think of our families. Think of our families. But you can't tell them! You can't convince them of that! Pack that grip! We go to jail and we don't go to jail! I pack and then I unpack! Why don't you make up your mind?! - Then on the other hand... - No! Ow! You! Tubby! Tubby! Did you hear anything, dear? No, I didn't hear anything. You'll have to put the lights out. I can't sleep with them on. - All right. - Thank you. Huh? - Here you are, sir. - Thank you. All right, nurse. I'll take charge of him now. Doctor, Miss Osborne's coming with us. All right, Buster. Track 23. Watch yourself! Now listen, Tubby, we've got to follow those crooks and prove they robbed the bank. - I don't mind following them. Only one thing bothers me. - What's that? - We might catch up to 'em. - A cop! Duck! Duck! Hurry up. Get up. Get something to carry, so we won't look conspicuous. Come here. I'll carry you. Never mind me! Get ahold of something. Go ahead, get ahold of something. Hey, can I carry your tennis rackets? Tennis rackets? Don't you know a fly-swatter when you see one? All right. I only asked you a sensible question. May I carry your bag? Now wouldn't you look sort of silly carrying that bag? It doesn't match my ensemble. Thanks just the same. What's the matter with you? There goes the girl I've been in love with all my life. In love? Do you know that girl? Did you ever meet her? Are you going crazy? You must be! Let's find out how to get on this train. Come on, come on. Don't stand in a daze! Will you wake up?! Wake up! Wake up! - Excuse me. - It's all right. All right, stop it. Don't get silly. Not me! There's our chance! First trombone. - First sax. - Second sax. - First bass. - Second bass. - Third bass. - Shortstop. - "Shortstop. " - First trumpet. - "First trumpet. " - Second... Shortstop? Hey, shortstop! You hear me singing psalms About your subtle charms I'd give the world itself To win them My place is in your arms My arms are out of place Whenever you're not in them I'm like a fish out of water... A sky with no star... A glamorous Heddy... Without the LaMarr... I'd like to murder the guy Who put the headache in my horoscope I'm just a dilly, that's all The little lady they call Arabella the dope I'm like the picture by Disney... Minus the mice A shrimp a la creole... Without any rice... Although I love a fire How I tire Answering false alarms Like a fish out of water Who certainly ought to be in your arms I'm like a fish that's out of water Oysters in the month of June A serenade by Cole Porter Without any tune The little things that you say The corny jokes that you play Gee, but they're getting me down, but down Men: I'm walking round in a stew, an individual who All: Can't help acting the clown, rah-da Like a fish out of water Doo, doo day A cat without kits Doo, doo day Or even DiMaggio without any hits The well-known misfit Just as apropos as Gypsy Rose Lee Down at the old schoolmarm's Like a fish out of water Doo dee - A nautical daughter - Doo dee A fish out of water All: Who certainly ought to be in... Be in your arms. Oh, Tubby! Hey, Weokie! - Johnny Long! - Flash! - How are you? Tubby. - Good to see you. Well, this is a surprise. Are you boys going up to Sun Valley, too? Yes. Say could you get us a job up there? Well, the hotel manager is a friend of mine. Maybe I can do some good for you. - That'll be swell. - Tickets! Excuse me, boys. Tickets. FBI, Washington. COD, Alcatraz. I'm sorry, young fellow. I hate to see anyone handcuffed. Yeah, well, that's okay. Thanks a lot. Now see here, you can't do that on this train. I can't see! I can't see! I can't see! I can't see! Now what are we gonna do? We've gotta get tickets or we'll be thrown off this train. - You want tickets? - Yes. Why? Get this. Tickets, please. Man: Just a minute, conductor. Thank you. Hey, three of them. Now we even got one for an extra party! Wrong party! Flash: All right, all right! - What's the trouble? - Them monkeys from Detroit. - I don't want to lose them. - You're not gonna let them get away? Relax, you couldn't lose them if you wanted to. Come on inside. Marcia! Harry, what are you doing here? I was just going to ask you the same question. - Come on inside. - Oh well... It's been a long time since Club 77, hasn't it, Harry? - That's right. - Those fellows may get away if you don't go right after them. I told you to relax, didn't I? I left an unsigned note telling them where we were going. They think they're following us. Are you in trouble, Harry? Yeah. Look, Marcia, how'd you like to help the fellow that gave you your first break? I'd be glad to do anything I can for you, but I'm on my way to Sun Valley to sing with the band. That's wonderful! We'll all be up there together. Would you give me a hand? Sure... if it's on the up and up. That's swell. I'll tell you all about it at Sun Valley. Right now the boys are bothering me about some unfinished business. - See you later, eh? - See you later. Say, where does the dame come in? She comes in so the Detroit boys can go out. She's bait to bring 'em out in the open where we can knock 'em off with a minimum of vice versa. - Nobody in here. - They must have doubled back on us. All right, hold it! There you are. Come on, give me your hand. Give me your hand. Get up. Come on. Come on. Come on, get in. Ohh! Give me you hand. Get in here. - Come on. Ohh! - My head! Hold the window. Come here, hold the window. Hold the window. Hold the window. Hold the window. There you are. - Now that's easy enough. Now, come on in. - Flash! Ohh! A poet said "I'll never see A poem lovely as a tree" But I would change this version to... "A song as lovely, dear, as you" While bright stars light you up tonight I think I'll write you up tonight I won't need steel guitars... Just a verse and 32 bars Ahhh I'd like to set you to music Ahhh Immortalize you in music I'd like to borrow The lilt of April's breeze And then reprise you In these melodies Ahh And when I finish the music Oooh, hooo hooo You'll hear the sweet orchestration Of the birds... I'd like to set you to music Just because You're far, far too wonderful For words - La da, da da - Ooh ooh La da, da da La da, da da La dee, da da But there's no one lovelier than you Man: I'd like to set you to music Immortalize you in music I'd like to borrow The lilt of April's breeze And then reprise you In these melodies... And when I finish the music La da dee, da da da da dum You'll hear the sweet orchestration Of the birds I'd like to set you to music Just because You're far Far too wonderful Far too marvelous... For words La da, la da La da, da da. - Waiter! - Yes, sir? - Same thing, please. - What'll you have? A... what's the matter with you? Why aren't you waiting on the tables? I can't. Why not? I'm in love. But she likes Johnny Long. I know that. If I was a musician, I'd have a much better chance with her. - But you're not. - I know that, too. I'm a big dummy. I never took lessons with nothing. - You can't play any instruments? - I can't play nothing. Hey, wait a minute! I've got an idea. Do you know what's in there? - There's a Victrola in there. - A Victrola? - What are you going to do with that? - With a piano record. I was supposed to take it on the other side of the pool. - Why don't you go and take it over there? - Wait a minute. I'm going to take this thing in back of the piano. You're gonna take the Victrola in back of the piano? Go over and ask her if she wants you to play the piano. - If she says yes, I'm stuck, huh? - You're not stuck! You go over to the piano and you say, "All right. " When you say, "All right," I'll put on the record. She'll think you're playing. Then, when you say "All right" the second time, I stop. Oh, we're gonna flimflam her? - No! - Let's have one rehearsal. Go ahead. All right. - All right. - Stop. - Come on. - Come on. Hello! Hello. - How are you? - Fine. How are you? I... do you like musicians? Why, I love them. You do? I play piano. I didn't know you could play the piano. Do you play by ear? No, I use my hands like everybody else. They hurt when I play that way. Oh, I see. Like that. Would you like to have me play something for you? Sure. Come on. Do you mind sitting over here? - Not at all. - Thank you. You sit right down there and I'll play something on the piano for you like you never heard in your life. Beautiful, too. Excuse me. All right! Good, right? All right. - How did you like it? - Say, that was all right. All right! It's only when I say, "All right. " All right! Not now, you dummy! - Well? - Say, that was fine! But why do you keep saying, "All right"? All right! - Say, that was all... - Don't say it! - Well, that was fine. - That's better. I thought you were going to say it was all right. All right! Anything else you'd like to have me play? How about "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor" by Rachmaninoff? Rachmaninoff? Right. That ain't the guy that used to play third base for the Yankees, is it? No, I guess not. Rachmaninoff! All right! All right! Well, I'm waiting. So am I. All right. Come on! I'm not in the mood yet. All right! All right! That's better. Good, huh? One hand. No hands. All right! All right. All right. Stop here! All right. All right! All right! All right, that's enough. All right! You ought to be ashamed of yourself. I thought you were a nice little fellow. I tried to be nice to you. To think you'd play a trick like this on me. You thought I was going to fall in, didn't you? Whooo! Come on, please. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - You should be. Johnny, it was swell of you to get us these jobs. I'm glad to help, boys. Just see that you try to keep them now. Now, we've got to find those crooks. That may be your idea. My idea is to let the crooks find us. They're the last ones I want to see in this world. Never mind. Come on, let's go. - What are you going... no. - Whooo! Never mind that, you. You wheel it in. Come on. Come on. Your dinner. - Serve it right over there, please. - Oui, oui, madame. Look, baby, duck in this next room. It's almost time for my first number downstairs. - It's okay. If you're late I'll square it. - All right. Dinner is served. It's over. - Wait... wait a minute. - Now we got them. Let's knock them off like we planned, eh? What are you going to knock us off for? All we did was take your picture coming out the bank. You mean there was film in those cameras? Yeah. We only got your backs. - Quiet! - Excuse me. Now listen... What he's trying to tell you is, we've got your backs to the walls. And if you don't give us our money we'll give the cops the negatives. Yes, if you don't give us the money we'll give the cops the negatives, and that's positive. Hold the phone, boys. There's no use in our trying to jockey for the rail. Why don't you give us the negative and we'll give you your 25 Gs? Where's the money? Why, I've got that up in a cabin not far from here. Oh, yeah? I've got the negative, too, and it ain't very far from here. Shut up! Where's this cabin? Tomorrow I'll take you up with me and we'll exchange presents. That's a date. Come on, Tubby. Out of my way. Well, in case you fellows want to see me you know where you can get me. Say, wait a minute. That lady inside wants to talk to you. That lady wants to talk to me? Mm-hmm. I think she kind of goes for you. You just make yourself to home. I'll bring her out. Come on, boys. The lady goes for me. Sweetheart, now's the time to pay me back for that little favor. I want you to go in there and get the negative from the little guy. But how will I do it? Well, it will take a little strategy, but you're a strategy... with a figure. I'd like to talk to you for a moment. Won't you sit over there? - Cigarette? - No, ma'am, I don't smoke. Oh! - Drink? - No ma'am. I don't drink. Perfume? No ma'am, I don't... what I was going to say... Did you ever take a girl out? I'm too young. Which one of you boys has the negative? Me. May I see it? No. Now may I see it? No. Now may I see it? No. I give up! I've had enough. You've had enough? Well, no, not me. Oooh, ooh, ooh! I never had a kiss affect me like this before. What's the matter? What's the matter? I get it. Ohhh! In the ancient land of Switzerland Where the customs never change They yodel- o-del high Because the Alps are in their range Instead of giving orchids there They give 'em edelweiss Instead of merely kissing them They slap 'em once or twice First grab a partner Then let each belle and beau Join hands together And do a figure "O."

Are you being paid to do this? Mr. Fellowsby ordered me to take the afternoon off. Does that meet with your approval, Dr. Legree? Now wait a minute, don't get me wrong. I have to protect my patients. If Mr. Fellowsby says you should go out and enjoy yourself, suppose we do it together? Come on, let me show you how to skate. University of Wisconsin, '38. University of Toronto, '41. No hard feelings, I hope? Oh no. - Flash! - Doc! I never expected to see you up here. I thought you were a photographer, not a waiter. It's a long story. Remember that bank across from the hospital? Bank? Say, those pictures in the newspaper... I thought they looked like you. You're hiding out. No, we're on the trail of the crooks. The cops think we robbed that bank. When we prove our innocence, you're going to lose a patient. - You mean Fellowsby? - That's right. Now it all ties up. When Peggy said he was out of the room... He was across the street robbing the bank. That's why they brought her up here. She knows too much. Where's Tubby? There he is. Come on. Get up. Get up! Tubby, I never expected to see you on skates. I don't ever expect to see myself on them either. Come on, get up and wait on the tables. Okay. Now hold me, kid. Take it easy. Take it easy. That kid is strong. Right foot, left foot, right foot... everybody's doing it. Right foot, left foot. Right foot... Whooooh! Here I come! Whooooh! I can't hang on any longer! I don't like this! Whoooh! I don't like this! Here I come! Oh, Peggy! Are you following me, I hope? You've got to pack up and get back to town immediately. And don't stop to tell Mr. Fellowsby. And just when I was beginning to think you were human. You've got to trust me. You'll understand everything later. I understand everything now. It positively hurts you to see me with a job. I hate to do this, but you force me to order you off the case. - You're to leave immediately - I understand, Doctor. Now see if you understand this. - I've come to say goodbye. - Oh, you're leaving? Yes, Dr. Burns and I don't seem to get along. And I might add that in my opinion you're not sick enough to need a nurse. Your reasons would interest me. They're not important. I'll leave my address at the desk and you can mail me the check. Now, now, nurse, let's not do anything rash. Stay on for a couple of days and I'll make it worth your while. Sorry, I really must go. Now, you be a smart girl and... - Look, Mr. Fellowsby, if you think you can frighten me... Take her inside. Oh, Doctor, I was just about to ring for you. Doctor, I think I'd like to go up to that mountain cabin now. I don't think that would be advisable in your condition. I think the fresh air will be good for me. I'd like you to come up and take care of me. What about Miss Osborne? Won't she be there? No. I told her to take today off. Very well, Mr. Fellowsby, whatever you say. I'll get my things together and leave word at the office. That dame's got more legs than a centipede. You don't mean to tell me a big lug like you had trouble tying up a little girl? Next time get a male nurse... one that don't bite. What about those friends of yours... the boys from Detroit? They'll be following us. You can depend on that. Get 'em all out there together, out on one of those big snowbanks. One push and... gin! Come here, I want to talk to you, Flash. Fellowsby is heading for the mountain cabin. He wants me to go along with him. That's the cabin where he's hidden the money. Right. You get ahold of Tubby and get there ahead of them and keep watch until they come out with the money. Leave it to Tubby and me. We'll take care of everything. - Okay. I'll see you up there. - Okay. Come on, Tubby. We've got to get to that mountain cabin before they do. What's that for? In case we meet WC Fields. Wooo. Right. Oatmeal! Cornmeal! Mush! Whoa! Hey, that must be the place. There's no other place around the place. That must be the place. - Come on. - Okay. Wait there, kids. Looks like we're the first one's here. I'll try and get in the window. It must be locked from the inside. - Hey, give me a boost. - Go ahead. Why didn't you tell me that door was open? - You said you wanted to come through the window. - Hold that glove. - Give me that. - You hold it. I mean after all... Put your hands down. What's the matter? What's the matter? Oh, come here! Come here! Come here! It's only a bearskin. Look! Don't tell me about those things. - I used to hunt them. - You hunted bear? - Oh no, I had my clothes on. - Stop it. Another thing, I want to tell you about this hunting business... once when I was hunting, it was lightning and thundering. - Out of the woods came a big animal with horns. - Reindeer? - It sure did, honey. - Come on, let's get in the next room. Come on. Never mind that. All right, don't fight. Stand still. We'll stay in here till we find out where they hide the money. When they go to sleep, we'll grab it, take it back to the bank and clear ourselves. When don't you let me overpower them like you said? - I'll give them the old one-three. - All right, stop. You couldn't whip cream with an outboard motor. - Is that so? - And I'll prove it to you. - Do you see this handkerchief? - Do you got a cold? Never mind the cold. I'll place that on the floor. I'll stand on one end of it. You stand on the other and I'll bet you $5 you can't hit me. You'll put the handkerchief on the floor, stand on one end, I stand on the other, and I can't hit you? - That's right. - Both of us standing on it? - That's right. - Bet. - $5. Put up your money. - Okay. - I'll hold it. - All right. There you are. I'll put the gloves on because I don't want to cut you when I hit you. - Never mind that. Stand on the handkerchief. - Okay, kid. - Okay. - Right, right. Don't you hit me until I say ready. I'll wait till you say it. - And no cheating. - No, no. - No cheating. - I'm standing on it. I'm standing. I got a whole half a foot. I got a whole half of foot on there. Flash: I'm standing on the handkerchief. Oh boy, I'll knock him cold. Go ahead and hit me. What do ya got the door here for? - How am I gonna hit you with the door?! What's the idea of you playing that kind of trick on me? After all, I... don't tell me you're scared of that? - Don't... don't... - Come on, come on. It's only a bearskin. Look. No, you don't. No, you don't. What kept you? That was a close shave. I think someone's knocking at the cabin door. I don't see anybody knocking at the door. Are you sure? I must be hearing things. Hey, Flash, does this high altitude get you? - No. - It's getting me. I've got the funniest pounding going inside of my head. Just like I had a couple of those... popsicles. You know how I feel when I have those things? - Oh, behave. - Little elves hit me in the head all the time. Hey. - What's the matter? - Now I hear bells. - Dr. Burns: Let me help you, Mr. Fellowsby. - Thank you. There we are. - Come on. - Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Whoa, boy. As long as you have the negative we hold the whip hand. I think so. You know what I'm gonna do? - What? - I'm gonna bluff 'em. - What are you doing here? - Well, I... Sorry to have to do this, Doc, but we can't take any chances. - Take care of the doctor, boys. - Yeah, come on. - Oooh! - Look out! You must be getting old. Keep an eye on 'em. When those Detroit boys show up, we'll get rid of the whole lot. Come on! Drop that gun or I'll drill you! I got a gun here shoots bullets for 12 miles and throws rocks the rest of the way. Do you want him to drill you, or do you want to play ball? We'll play ball. I'm a pretty good shortstop. Thattaboy! Get out of the way! You ain't so tough, you little pig! - Who are you calling a pig? - You! With the price of pork nowadays, is that an insult? - Now boys, let's talk it over, eh? - Okay. You're talking to a pretty tough hombre. Hey, ain't that the dame that spotted us from the hospital? Don't worry about her, pal. She won't identify anybody. Good. Hey you, pick up that gun. Come on, pick it up! Let's have it. Here you are, killer. Take this gun. Take them outside, use them bullets on them. If you come back with any, I'll use them on you. Okay, Boss. Stand up, or I'll let you have it sitting down. On your feet. Come on, get with it! - I'll go along with you. - No, you don't. I'll handle this myself. Excuse me. And when the killer gets back, all witnesses wiped out, we'll talk business. What are you... ... ing about? Tubby and me'll try and bluff 'em until you get back. Well, it's all over. Okay, put the negative on the table and we'll close the deal. Where's the money? Okay, I'll get it. - Step aside. - I ought to take a poke at you. Why, you couldn't fight your way out of an outboard motor with whipped cream. Whipped cream? On second thought, I don't think you can do it. - Do what? - Poke me in the nose. - Oh, can't I? - No. - Just stand there. - You want to make a wager? - Sure, I'll make a wager. - What's your share of the cut? - 10 Gs. - That's all I wanted to know. 10 Gs, brother. Here's your 10 Gs. Put it on the table. Put it on the table. Don't count it. It's there. - Here's mine. You got it? - Yeah. I'm going to get a handkerchief. Who's got one? Thank you. Thank you ever so much, kid. - See this handkerchief? - Yeah. I'm going to put it on the floor. You stand on one end, I'll stand on the other. I'll bet you can't touch me. You'll bet your cut against mine that if we both stand on the handkerchief I can't touch you? - You got the idea. Wanna make a bet? - Yeah. That's all I wanted to know, brother. You'll get a bet. That's all. Now listen, shorty, don't push. You're going to get your chance. Here, you hold the stakes. I hope you know what you're doing. I'm going to outsmart them. Now, Mr. Wise Guy, I'm gonna show you. I'll put the handkerchief on the floor. You stand on that edge. Stand on the edge of the handkerchief. That's it. I put my two feet here. When I say ready, try and touch me. Ready... wait a minute! Wait a minute. I forgot something. Wait a minute. Not here, not here. Come on. You stand over there... by there. I came pretty near to getting killed. Wait a minute. I got you all fixed. Stand on the edge of the handkerchief right there. I'll stand on the edge here, and when I say ready, you try and touch me. Ready? Get his gun. - A banana! - Why, the little monkey! Find that negative. Hey, here it is. - Why, our faces aren't even in it! - Now can I give it to him? But you can't shoot an unconscious man! They're the best kind. Well, that's that. Now do you want to talk business? Cut it out or I'll show your picture to the cops. We saw that picture, friend. It ain't a good likeness. Nope, not at all. - Hey, he's not... - He will be. Uh-oh. Carry him upstairs. I'll take care of you later. Come on, honey. Here, take my hand. Ooh, take my arm... Oooh. Well, that's that! Give me your hand. Wait a minute. What did I do? Tubby, I'm so... I'm sorry. - Tubby... - Oh, oh, oh! Come... come on. Get down! Get down! Turn it around. - Turn it around? - Turn it around. Come here. Get in your harness. Get in your harness. Do you think the boys will be able to bluff them? I hope so... at least until we get back. - I'll take the money. - Ready. Ready? Mush. Will you ever do anything right? Why, you...! How are we going to make our getaway now? Wait a minute. - A ski hut! - Is that what you call it? - Yes. We'll get away on skis. Come on! - Okay, come on. Oh. Come on, let's get out of here before those guys come to. Hurry up! I'm going fast, boy! Out of the way! Gang way! Gang way! Come on, you lugs, snap out of it! They're getting away with our money. - Wait a minute. Where's the money? - Money? - What do you think, money grows on trees? I think you got something there. Come on! Okay. - How do we catch 'em? - These skis. Let's take them. Flash, wait for me! Tubby... Tubby, balance yourself with the sticks! Woo-woo! Here's the dough, boss! Hey, I just caught a forward pass. Timber! Woooo! Hey, let me off at the next stoplight. Hey, Flash, one down! Two to go! Keep going! Keep going! Wooo! Woooo! Look out, Tubby! You've got a bear behind! Get off! Get your own skis! Get your own skis! Go back to hibernating! Look out, Tubby! Whoooo! Oh, oh, oh! Hey Flash, two down one to go. Well, pick him up and put him in the chair. Pick him up. Fore! Grab the money, let's go. Fellowsby: I'll take that. I was just going to give it to you. Well, give it to me. Okay. Three down and gold to go. We're ready, Doc. Here's the one of the gang now! All right, take him away, boys. Here's another one of them. Flash: Look out below! Look out, gang way! Touchdown! I arrest you in the name of the law. Wait a minute, Sheriff, you've got the wrong man. I've got the crook in here. I've got him in here someplace. Right here. Oh, a hitchhiker. Go on your way. Here's the real crook right over here. Come on. Here's your man! - What happened to me? - I got you all balled up. Go on take him. Take him away. Go ahead take him away. Take everybody away. May I tell Tubby about us? Tubby, you're wonderful. You're a hero. I want you to be the first to know we're going to be married. I'm going to be a bride. Flash! Hey, Flash, I'm going to be a June bride. Tubby! Tubby! Tubby!? Tubby!? Ah, another hitchhiker. What's everybody running for? Go on, join your pal. Go ahead. Join your pal over there. I hope she don't miss the train. I don't want to go on my honeymoon by myself. I'm going to have you over for Sunday dinner. - That's swell. - If she can cook. Well, if she can't... She can kiss. Whooooo!

Is it legal? Oh, of course it's legal and we have the bridal compartment on the train. - Haven't we, Johnny? - That's right, sweetheart. Come up and see us sometime. I certainly will. Thanks for the invitation. Come up and... see you sometime? Certainly. She didn't marry you, she married Johnny Long. No Flash, that can't be. Conductor: All aboard. All aboard.
