00:30Oh, sugar, please be a little more careful. You know I bruise easy.
00:34Oh, I'm sorry. But if you were giving me a little more money, I wouldn't have to be making over my old clothes. And you wouldn't have to be doing this.
00:41But, sugar, I haven't...
00:43I know. You haven't any money because you have to send that ex-wife of yours $30 a week alimony. She lives off a fan of the land while I'm practically naked.
00:52And if I don't pay her, she puts me in jail.
00:55Turn around.
01:00It's awful, if not worse.
01:05Oh, look.
01:07Go away.
01:09Ouch.
01:13Well, see what bill collector that is.
01:20Come in.
01:20We're from the Good Samaritan Furniture Company.
01:30And we don't want any.
01:31Yeah, but we do. You're supposed to pay for things you buy.
01:34Come, Junior.
01:35As goes, too.
01:46Oh, they're taking my sewing machine.
01:49Can't you pay them a little something to leave it?
01:52If I do, I won't have money enough to pay my alimony.
01:56And if I don't pay my alimony, I go to jail.
01:58Alimony.
01:59That's all I hear.
02:00Alimony.
02:02I got it.
02:04If I can get my ex-wife to move in here and live with us, we won't have to pay her any alimony and our troubles will be over.
02:12Buster, stop spreading the dirt and sweep it into the dust pan.
02:20Your ex-wife will be here any minute.
02:22Now, hurry.
02:24Want to see a dirty house like this?
02:42Well, there she is, your alimony, Leech.
02:54Hello, Shrimp.
02:56Is that what you was married to?
02:59Meet Red Cliff. He's going to stay here with us.
03:02Providing we like it here.
03:04I'm very glad to meet you.
03:05Hiya, Shrimp.
03:06Oh, Elsie, I want you to meet the dearest little wife in all the world.
03:15Old stuff, Buster, old stuff.
03:17You used to hand me that baloney.
03:19Baloney? That's good.
03:23Show the folks around.
03:24It'll be a pleasure.
03:36How many bedrooms you got?
04:04Just two.
04:05That's fine.
04:06I'll take one and Red Cliff can have the other.
04:09Oh, anything to make you comfy.
04:11Hey, Shrimp, put that trunk in my bedroom.
04:18Just as clumsy as ever, ain't you?
04:24Come on, lift it up.
04:25Get your knee under it.
04:26Lift.
04:27Lift.
04:30Oh.
04:35Say, you play rap.
04:49Yeah.
04:51Cut it out, will you?
04:52I'm sorry.
04:54You're sorry?
04:55Put that trunk in my bedroom.
04:56Honey, old baggage men carry trunks on their back like this.
04:59Okay, come on, I'll help you.
05:03Now, wait, take it easy now.
05:07Ease it up there, okay?
05:10Now, a little higher.
05:11Okay.
05:13Oh, are you all right?
05:14I think so.
05:15I think so.
05:16Now, balance it.
05:18Uh-huh.
05:19I got it, I think.
05:21Just a little higher.
05:22Just a little...
05:23Okay.
05:23Just a little...
05:24Where do I go?
05:37There!
05:37That way!
05:39Oh.
05:39Oh.
05:39Oh.
05:41Oh.
05:49Oh.
05:57Oh.
05:58Oh.
06:00Oh.
06:00Oh, oh.
06:02Oh.
06:02Oh.
06:02Oh.
06:03Oh.

06:03Oh.
06:04Oh.
06:05Oh.
06:05Oh.
06:06Oh.
06:06Oh.
06:06I thought you were the trunk.
06:15Do I look like a trunk?
06:23You're a scream.
06:25Yeah, funny, huh?
06:26Oh!
06:35Gross duck, no less.
06:37They've got to leave.
06:39Here they come now.
06:41How's your room?
06:42Fine!
06:44Make yourselves right at home, folks.
06:51Just one big happy family.
06:56That duck is so tough, he can't even cut it.
07:07Olives!
07:30Ouch!
07:39What's the matter?
07:40A beast on me.
07:41Yeah.
08:11Oh, mercenary, eh?
08:41Just one big happy family.
08:58Darlene, I think your idea was wonderful, and so is mine.
09:09Hey, Dave, you'll be paying a second alimony to me.
09:22Oh, listen, doll.
09:23Everything's gonna turn out all right.
09:56Hey!
10:01Help!
10:01Shut up!
10:02Shut up!
10:05Hey!
10:13Darling, are you all right?
10:15Now, for goodness sake, go to sleep and stop this clowning.
10:26Oh, for goodness sake!
10:37Oh, why don't you like somewhere?
10:40Here.
10:43Now, go to sleep.
10:44Hey!
11:04Help!
11:05Hey!
11:05I'm burning!
11:06Help!
11:07He's aflame!
11:10He's aflame!
11:11Get some water!
11:11Get some water!
11:12Get some water!
11:15Oh, Gil!
11:17Oh, Gil!
11:17Let me put it out!
11:18Sit down!
11:18Wait!
11:28Will somebody get me some water?
11:30Oh, my!
11:31Why don't somebody get me some water?
11:48Oh, what a night!
12:18If you don't get these two people out of here, I'll divorce you myself, you, you, you!
12:24Oh, listen, doll.
12:25I got it all figured out.
12:27My divorce decree says that if she remarries, I'm free from alimony.
12:32And if we can get her to marry Radcliffe, we're all set.
12:36If?
12:37I'll go right down and see my lawyer.
12:39Oh, I'm going to get some breakfast.
12:40All right.
12:47Okay.
13:48I'll be your lawyer.
13:54There. Now, don't bother me.
13:56Oh, don't worry, sugar. Everything's gonna be all right.
13:58All right.
14:06Why don't you stop this clown?
14:08Haven't you grown up yet keeping me awake all night with fire and shrunk and...
14:12I'm so glad I...

14:20Honey!
14:21Yes, and I'll slap you again, you little shrunk!
14:23You can't abuse me like that!
14:24You second wife of my third husband!
14:26Shh!
