Short filmTranscript
00:00:10Blondie!
00:00:14Pretty face, funny hat, that's what my Blondie is.
00:00:19Lovable feet, both flat, that's what my Dagwood is.
00:00:23Blondie's not always right, I let her think she is.
00:00:27All of my thoughts are bright, long as he thinks they're his.
00:00:32Life of us is fun and crazy, baby doubling, us and Daisy, what a family.
00:00:39Incredible, bum-steadable, ha ha ha, hurry you'll miss your butt.
00:00:43Watch out, you'll burn your stew, nothing's too much for us, as long as with me there's you.
00:00:50Dagwood and Blondie, Blondie and Dagwood, always with me there's you.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:01:02I've had to lose our pockets.
00:01:03You don't know what I can tell them.
00:01:04I'm sorry, I want to lose them.
00:01:10He'll lose the thing, and we'll be so happy.
00:01:11Lovablegebenicness that's how we build it!
00:01:27Oh, there's no record!
00:01:31Hello, dear.
00:01:33Hello, Daddy.
00:01:34Oh, thank goodness you're all right.
00:01:37But, Blondie, those cars out there, aren't they?
00:01:40Believe who?
00:01:42Now, keep calm, dear.
00:01:45Yes, but...
00:01:46Gentlemen, this is my husband.
00:01:48Good afternoon.
00:01:49How do you do?
00:01:49How do you do?
00:01:50Hello.
00:01:50Who are they?
00:01:52This is Mr. Wilson of the Depositors Protected League.
00:01:55How do you do?
00:01:55Hello.
00:01:56Mr. Jasper of the Banking Association.
00:01:58How do you do?
00:01:59And the President of our bank, Mr. Judson.
00:02:02How do you do, Mr. Bumston?
00:02:03How do you do?
00:02:05Blondie.
00:02:06Oh, the Chief of Police.
00:02:08How are you?
00:02:10You'd better sit down, dear.
00:02:11They want to ask you a few questions.
00:02:13Me? What for?
00:02:14This is going to be quite a shock.
00:02:17Going to be?
00:02:20Dagwood, someone has forged your name to a check.
00:02:23My name?
00:02:24Yes, your name.
00:02:25To a check for $50.
00:02:27Oh, my.
00:02:28Oh, my goodness.
00:02:29Came in the bank statement today.
00:02:31Made out to a Cliff Peters.
00:02:33Cliff Peters?
00:02:34But, but, now that's...
00:02:36Now, now, now, don't try to talk yet, dear.
00:02:38Huh?
00:02:39Just take it easy.
00:02:40You'll just confuse these men when they're trying to help you.
00:02:43But...
00:02:43This is a little bit out of my line, Mr. Bumstead, but as long as I'm here, I might as
00:02:46well take the routine information.
00:02:48Now, have you ever known anyone named Cliff Peters?
00:02:51Oh, sure.
00:02:52You see, Cliff and I...
00:02:52It would be a lot easier, Mr. Bumstead, if you would just answer yes or no.
00:02:56Yes, but he's...
00:02:57Just yes.
00:03:00Would you have any idea of his address?
00:03:03Of course, he's...
00:03:04Yes or no.
00:03:07Yes.
00:03:09Fine.
00:03:09Have you seen him recently?
00:03:10Oh, sure.
00:03:11The day that...
00:03:13Yes.
00:03:15Yes.
00:03:16Could you describe him?
00:03:18Yes.
00:03:21Go ahead, dear.
00:03:23He's 5 feet, 10 inches tall, blue eyes, brown hair, light complexion, and he has a little mole on his
00:03:31upper lip, and the $50 that I loaned him.
00:03:37You mean you wrote that check yourself?
00:03:40Yes.
00:03:41You loaned this man $50?
00:03:45Yes, I did.
00:03:47But why?
00:03:49Because we were in the fourth grade together.
00:03:53Well, you wouldn't think you ever got out of it.
00:03:56Well, Mrs. Bumstead, under the circumstances...
00:03:59How dared you do a thing like that without asking your wife?
00:04:02But she wouldn't...
00:04:03I mean, you wouldn't have understood, and Cliff was going to pay me at the end of the month.
00:04:07Then why didn't he?
00:04:07Well, uh-huh.
00:04:09Well, you see, dear, you had a little disappointment.
00:04:12Oh, anything like the disappointment I've had?
00:04:14Did he ever do without a permanent month in and month out to save money?
00:04:17Did he?
00:04:18No, but Blondie, you...
00:04:19Don't interrupt me, Dagwood.
00:04:21Did he ever go without a bicycle like Alvin's because his father couldn't afford it?
00:04:25No, I don't suppose he...
00:04:26Dagwood, did his husband ever deceive him into making a fool of himself in front of all these men?
00:04:35Well, I hope you're satisfied with the fool you've made of me.
00:04:38Now, this wouldn't have happened if you'd asked me first.
00:04:44If I'd asked you?
00:04:47Yes.
00:04:48Oh.
00:04:50Oh, Dagwood.
00:04:51Huh?
00:04:51Why didn't you talk it over with me?
00:04:54Every bit of this unpleasantness could have been avoided if you'd only asked me.
00:04:58I'm sorry, dear.
00:05:00I didn't know that you'd let me lend him the money.
00:05:02Well, I wouldn't.
00:05:03You don't suppose you could do anything as foolish and stupid as this with my consent, do you?
00:05:07Now, now, just a minute, Blondie.
00:05:09This is...
00:05:10Not now, Dagwood.
00:05:11Hmm?
00:05:11I'm not going to quarrel with you in front of the baby.
00:05:15Come here.
00:05:16I'll fix you something to eat.
00:05:18Guess I got that settled, all right.
00:05:20We'll go into this later.
00:05:24Yes, later.
00:05:26Far into the night.
00:05:28Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:05:35Good morning, Alvin.
00:05:36Good morning.
00:05:36How'd the argument come out last night?
00:05:39What argument?
00:05:40The one you and Mr. Bumstead were having that kept us awake.
00:05:46You mean you could hear it over at your house?
00:05:50You, uh, you couldn't hear what we were arguing, saying, could you?
00:05:56I went to sleep.
00:05:58But Mr. Bumstead certainly was a sack to lend Mr. Peters $50.
00:06:06Baby Dumplin, what would you do if you were in my spot?
00:06:09I'd join the boy rangers and go away to camp.
00:06:13You can't for a while.
00:06:14Your mommy says you're old enough to understand you're too young to go to camp.
00:06:18If I'm old enough to understand, I'm old enough to go.
00:06:22Well, that's your problem, Baby Dumplin.
00:06:25Right now, I've got one of my own.
00:06:26Why don't you just make the lug pay you back your half a seat?
00:06:32Yeah.
00:06:35Why, Alvin, what would your father think of that kind of language?
00:06:39It wouldn't be what you'd think, Mr. Bumstead.
00:06:42Oh, I don't know.
00:06:43Fathers are pretty much alike.
00:06:45Yeah.
00:06:46Well, I'd like to see my old man lend anybody 50 berries without getting a note for it.
00:06:53Come on, twerp.
00:06:59Why, Alvin, since when have you started talking like that?
00:07:03Since I found out that's how we're going to get to join the boy rangers.
00:07:07How?
00:07:07Now, I heard Mrs. Potts tell our mothers that she had Dickie and John join because it'd stop them using
00:07:14slang.
00:07:16Oh.
00:07:16Oh, and our mother said we didn't use slang.
00:07:20So now we do.
00:07:21Get it?
00:07:22Brother, I hear you talking.
00:07:28Says me.
00:07:30Oh, yeah?
00:07:31You heard me, Mug, and I meant it.
00:07:34One more crack, and I'll cook you.
00:07:37Oh.
00:07:38Both of you.
00:07:39Stop at this instant.
00:07:41I never heard such language.
00:07:43But he said...
00:07:44I don't care what he said.
00:07:45Shake hands and make up.
00:07:47I'm willing, but he just won't agree with me.
00:07:50Baby Dumpling, don't be stubborn.
00:07:52Agree with Alvin.
00:07:53You think I should?
00:07:55All right, Alvin, my daddy is a dumb clock.
00:07:59Why, Alvin, how dared you say that your mother didn't like her new permanent wave?
00:08:05Run along, Alvin.
00:08:24I guess you need a new frying pan, Mommy.
00:08:27Yes, Mommy needs a lot of things, dear.
00:08:31Shh.
00:08:33But you can't have new pans and lend people $50.
00:08:40But of course, we have to understand, baby, that your father has known Mr. Peters a lot longer than he's
00:08:46known us.
00:08:48You see, baby, when people are in the fourth grade with people, those people come first.
00:08:53Yes, particularly when they were in the fourth grade, as long as your father probably was.
00:08:57Now, Blondie, stop influencing baby Dumpling against me.
00:09:01Oh, I guess he's old enough to see how much more your friends mean to you than we do.
00:09:05Aren't you, dear?
00:09:06Yes, Mommy.
00:09:07And I'm old enough to join the boy Rangers, too.
00:09:11You are not.
00:09:12I've told you that 50...
00:09:1650 times.
00:09:19But, Blondie, we didn't need the money this month.
00:09:22Who said we didn't?
00:09:23Well, Cliff will give the money back right away.
00:09:25Right away when?
00:09:26Next month or the month after?
00:09:28This month.
00:09:34This week.
00:09:37This day.
00:09:39I'll get it today.
00:09:42Oh, Dagwood, you will?
00:09:44I will!
00:09:47I'll leave the office early, even if I lose my job for it.
00:09:51But I'll get it.
00:09:52Oh, Dagwood, you're wonderful.
00:09:56But don't you dare lose your job.
00:09:59Oh, dear, hurry up.
00:10:02Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:03Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:07Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:09Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:09Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:09Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:09Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:11Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:11Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:12Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:13Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:15Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:24Oh, dear, I'll get it.
00:10:39If I can stand this only two years more, I'll get my pension.
00:10:50Hi, Bozo.
00:10:51So, holding out on me, are you Peters?
00:10:54That's the best dog in the lot.
00:10:55Sure he is.
00:10:56This champion chin-up, white tie for dinner.
00:10:57But you wanted a show dog.
00:10:59But my heavens, man, this dog has every show point you can hope for.
00:11:02Except that he won't show.
00:11:04You're right.
00:11:04He's perfect.
00:11:05Not a flaw in him.
00:11:06But he's slept through every show he's been entered in, thrown out of the best shows in the country.
00:11:09I wouldn't sell chin-up to my worst enemy.
00:11:11Stay clear.
00:11:13Hey.
00:11:13Hello, Daggy.
00:11:14What brings you here?
00:11:15Say, Blondie found out about that little matter.
00:11:18You know.
00:11:21Oh, yeah.
00:11:22Well, run up to the office.
00:11:23I'll be right there.
00:11:23Go ahead.
00:11:23Well, oh.
00:11:26What does mean?
00:11:29Probably means war.
00:11:30Now, I've got a dog down here I think you'll like.
00:11:36Hi, toots.
00:11:38Baby Dumpling, did you say that to me?
00:11:41I wasn't talking to your Aunt Hannah.
00:11:44Where did you ever pick up such language?
00:11:47Not from the boy rangers.
00:11:48They don't use it.
00:11:49Of course not.
00:11:50And neither do any other nice little boys.
00:11:53Say, you're sorry, dear.
00:11:55I'm sorry, Mommy.
00:11:56I'm sorry I can't join the boy rangers, too.
00:12:00When you're older.
00:12:02Oh, man's home is no longer his castle.
00:12:05Stop talking like your father.
00:12:08Okie-do.
00:12:10I mean, okay.
00:12:13What smells so good?
00:12:16Stew, baby.
00:12:17We're having Daddy's favorite dinner tonight.
00:12:20How would you like your bicycle?
00:12:22Quick.
00:12:24We'll get it tomorrow.
00:12:25Like Alvin?
00:12:27Or better.
00:12:28Robbie!
00:12:30We must be awfully nice to Daddy tonight, baby Dumpling.
00:12:34Robbie!
00:12:36Hello, Daddy.
00:12:39Hello, dear.
00:12:40Hello.
00:12:41Well, did you have a nice day?
00:12:42Oh, yes.
00:12:43Fine.
00:12:43Fine.
00:12:44Hello, baby Dumpling.
00:12:47We're going to have stew.
00:12:49Oh, swell.
00:12:50Yes, your favorite dinner.
00:12:52Yeah.
00:12:53Well, did you have a nice day?
00:12:56Oh, yes.
00:12:57Fine.
00:12:58Did you?
00:12:58Oh, yes.
00:12:59Well, Daddy's eye.
00:13:01Dagwood, did you get it?
00:13:03Oh, more than got it.
00:13:06Oh, more?
00:13:08Look.
00:13:10Hey.
00:13:11Guess who that is.
00:13:14Sea biscuit?
00:13:19No.
00:13:20Champion, chin-up, white tie for dinner.
00:13:22But we've got a dog.
00:13:24Yeah, but, Blondie, you'll learn to love chin-up, too.
00:13:28You mean he's going to live here?
00:13:30Oh, Blondie, don't worry.
00:13:32Don't worry?
00:13:33Look at those wrinkles.
00:13:35Even he's worried.
00:13:37Well, darling, if you must have an extra dog, I suppose we can manage.
00:13:42If he doesn't mind being crowded a little.
00:13:44Now, where's our $50?
00:13:47Oh, well, that's what I've been trying to tell you.
00:13:49This is our $50.
00:13:50Nip-ups?
00:13:51No, chin-up.
00:13:52And he's worth $1,000.
00:13:54Dagwood, how many bicycles can I buy with that?
00:13:57How many telephone bills can I pay?
00:13:59But, Blondie, this is a show dog.
00:14:01Just think of the cups we can win with him.
00:14:03We can win a whole set of dishes at the movies, and that only costs a quarter.
00:14:06Oh, Dagwood, how could you?
00:14:08Oh, but, Blondie, Clint didn't have the money.
00:14:11And when I told him I just had to have it, he made me a proposition.
00:14:15Do you call that monster a proposition?
00:14:17Oh, but chin-up wasn't his first idea.
00:14:19I talked him into it.
00:14:21For a measly $50 we own him.
00:14:23Oh, here's his papers.
00:14:25Does he read?
00:14:28Oh, no, this is his pedigree.
00:14:32Oh, look at him.
00:14:33You can see what he's worth.
00:14:35Why, he's absolutely perfect, and his whole family has been for generations.
00:14:40Dagwood, you take that hound of the Baskervilles right back to Mr. Peters.
00:14:43He smells just like a dog.
00:14:45Oh, I can't.
00:14:46You see, Cliff was just leaving town for a few days to raise some money.
00:14:50You mean he might have the $50 when he comes back?
00:14:53He expects to.
00:14:54Well, the instant he gets home, you take that elephant back to him and get our money.
00:14:57Then it can stay now?
00:14:59Yes.
00:15:00We'll keep him as security.
00:15:05Security.
00:15:08Oh, my lovely stew.
00:15:13Blondie, I didn't know she'd act like that.
00:15:15But you didn't know we can't afford to feed anything that eats the way he does, didn't you?
00:15:19A whole stew in one gulp.
00:15:22What are we going to do about dinner?
00:15:24I don't know what you'll do, but I'm going to see if Mrs. Fuddle has enough for baby dumpling in
00:15:28me.
00:15:29Come on, dear.
00:15:30But, Blondie, I'm hungry, too.
00:15:32Well, you can work that out with your stew-gulfer-upper.
00:15:37Why don't you build yourself a sandwich, Daddy?
00:15:41That's what I'll do.
00:15:42I don't know.
00:15:42You know what I'm doing?
00:15:43I don't know.
00:15:46Ah.
00:15:47Ah.
00:15:47Ah.
00:15:54Ah.
00:16:00Come on.
00:16:27Come on.
00:16:33J.C. Dithers Construction Company.
00:16:36One moment, please.
00:16:37Good morning, Mr. Dithers.
00:16:38Good morning, Mr. Dithers.
00:16:41I'm seeing no salesman today, Mary.
00:16:44They told me crazy yesterday.
00:16:45I'm sorry about the two that got into your office, Mr. Dithers.
00:16:47They just walked in while I was busy at the switchboard.
00:16:50Well, it won't happen today. I'm using Bumstead's office.
00:16:53Turn around. There's plenty of room in there.
00:16:58Are you a salesman?
00:17:00Yes, sir. I represent the Doggy Doghouse Company.
00:17:03Get out.
00:17:04Put Mr. Bumstead water to...
00:17:05Get out before I throw you out!
00:17:08Yes, sir.
00:17:20Come in.
00:17:21No, I want out.
00:17:27Hello.
00:17:28Dagwood, what on earth are you doing?
00:17:31I'm just looking at this house for our new dog.
00:17:34What's happened to Daisy?
00:17:35Oh, she's gone mad.
00:17:37About our new dog.
00:17:40Well, it's nice you can afford to feed two dogs, Dagwood.
00:17:44Most people can't afford one right now.
00:17:46Oh, he eats everything we do.
00:17:49Dagwood, I want to use your office today.
00:17:51What can you do to keep out of the way?
00:17:53Oh, I can stay in here if you like.
00:17:56No, you spend enough time in the doghouse.
00:18:00I could see Mr. Pincus about that utility plant contract.
00:18:04Yeah, that's worth trying. Go on.
00:18:07Well, I...
00:18:08What are you waiting for?
00:18:09Will you raise the roof?
00:18:11I certainly will if you don't get out of there.
00:18:14No, the top...
00:18:16I can't open it from the inside.
00:18:17Oh.
00:18:24Hello.
00:18:25Oh, yes, Blondie.
00:18:27Yes, Dagwood's right where he usually is.
00:18:29Well, when he comes back, will you ask him to call me?
00:18:32Oh.
00:18:35Hello.
00:18:36Hello, dear.
00:18:38No.
00:18:39What happened?
00:18:40Our $50 dug out under the back fence.
00:18:43Oh, Blondie, you've got to go get him.
00:18:45He's too valuable a dog to run around you.
00:18:47You've got to find out where he is.
00:18:49Oh, no, I don't.
00:18:51I know where he is.
00:18:52The neighbors phone me every 10 minutes.
00:18:54So far, he's chased Mrs. Wordley's butcher boy,
00:18:56eaten her $3 steak, buried the bone in Mrs. Martin's front lawn,
00:18:59drunk Mrs. Bun's fish pond and fish,
00:19:01and finished off two quarts of Mrs. Simpson's milk and cream.
00:19:04But somebody might steal him.
00:19:06Dog nappers always keep their eyes peeled for dogs like Chin Up.
00:19:10You don't happen to know the telephone number
00:19:12of a good reliable one off hand, do you?
00:19:16Blondie!
00:19:17Blondie!
00:19:17Come on, Dagwood.
00:19:18Come on.
00:19:18I've got to get to work.
00:19:19Yeah, but the thing here, if you...
00:19:26Now remember, if you can get Waldo Pincus in here,
00:19:29I'll certainly make it worth your while.
00:19:31I'll do my best, Mr. Githers.
00:19:41Chin Up!
00:19:42Come back here!
00:19:45Come here.
00:19:46Come here.
00:19:47Nice, nice.
00:19:51He's a nice dog.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:53Wow.
00:19:54Thank you, young man.
00:19:55Thank you very much.
00:19:55I've been chasing this dog for almost a half hour.
00:19:57You have?
00:19:58Why?
00:19:59Why do you suppose?
00:20:00Because he's a valuable dog and I want him.
00:20:01Well, now, you don't think you...
00:20:03Just tell me you want my dog and then walk away with him.
00:20:05Your dog, your bats.
00:20:07Anyway, what are you doing on my property?
00:20:09Your property?
00:20:10Oh, you Mr. Pincus?
00:20:11I am.
00:20:11What do you want?
00:20:12Well, the butler said...
00:20:14Well, Mr. Pincus, are you sure this is your dog?
00:20:17Of course I'm sure.
00:20:19This is Hamlet's soliloquy.
00:20:20Why?
00:20:20Have you a dog so much like him?
00:20:21Yeah.
00:20:22Champion chin-up, white tie for dinner.
00:20:24Wow.
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:25And I guess his ears are a little better than this dog's, though.
00:20:29Well, that's slander, mister.
00:20:30By the way, what is your name?
00:20:32Bumstead.
00:20:32No, it isn't.
00:20:33Well, you better make up your mind, hadn't you?
00:20:35No.
00:20:35I mean, no, it isn't slander.
00:20:37Oh.
00:20:37Yeah, I think my dog's ears are a little better.
00:20:40And he's a little broader than a brisket, too.
00:20:42Hmm.
00:20:43Well, I'd like to see your dog, young man.
00:20:45Oh, well, any time.
00:20:47And I'll show you that I'm right.
00:20:48Would you consider selling him?
00:20:50Would I?
00:20:51Yes.
00:20:53Well, let's see.
00:20:54What are they?
00:20:55Oh, well, he's a pretty expensive dog, Mr. Pinkus.
00:20:59Well, if he's what you say, Mr. Bumstead, money is no object.
00:21:02Where is he?
00:21:02Oh, well, he's home.
00:21:03That is, I hope he's home.
00:21:05Maybe I'd better go and see.
00:21:07Well, I could bring him right back if...
00:21:09Well, where'll he be about 10 o'clock tomorrow?
00:21:11Well, he'll be home, but I'll be downtown.
00:21:13Hey, maybe I could stay.
00:21:15No, I'll take Chin up to the office with me tomorrow.
00:21:18That's 1128 Broad Street.
00:21:20That's fine.
00:21:2110 o'clock tomorrow.
00:21:22Oh, we'll be there.
00:21:23Well, wait a minute, young man.
00:21:24Huh?
00:21:24Who whelped your dog?
00:21:26Oh, nobody has to.
00:21:27He helps himself to everything.
00:21:31Well, why did I have to ask him that?
00:21:34Come on, Hamlet.
00:21:48Get up!
00:21:50Get up!
00:22:03No, no, no, no.
00:22:04No, no, no, no.
00:22:05I've never heard of him much.
00:22:06Wait a minute.
00:22:08Look at you and your dog.
00:22:10No, no, no.
00:22:11It's not in the window.
00:22:11I need to get him out.
00:22:13Get in there!
00:22:19Wait until you come out!
00:22:24I'm glad I got rid of her. She meant business.
00:22:30So do they, dear.
00:22:37Were you waiting to see me?
00:22:42$3.60. $1.80. $4.10.
00:22:47What is this?
00:22:48Bills, Mr. Bumstead. Bills.
00:22:50Mine's for pies off my windowsill.
00:22:52My prized petunia bed.
00:22:53My little girl's birthday cake with a ring and a thimble in it and seven candles.
00:22:57And this, Mr. Bumstead, is a petition.
00:23:02Unless that hungry hippopotamus is out of this neighborhood by tomorrow, we're asking you to be.
00:23:07I'm afraid you people are going to feel pretty silly about not having appreciated Chinup.
00:23:12Appreciated him?
00:23:14As a matter of fact, why don't you get Baby Dumpling that bicycle he's been wanting?
00:23:18Oh.
00:23:19And, uh, how about that permanent?
00:23:21And as a matter of fact, we might even talk about that new washing machine.
00:23:26You might talk about that prehistoric monster we came here to talk about.
00:23:30Does he go or stay?
00:23:32He'll be out of this house tomorrow.
00:23:35You're going to tell him.
00:23:37Well, I really haven't anything to say, Bondi, except that you're due for a big surprise.
00:23:43So, one of the same things I'm trying to say is, I'm hmm, I'm a bee-at-a-a-a
00:23:48-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
00:23:56-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
00:24:05-a-a-a-a-a.
00:24:25Come on.
00:24:25Chinna! Come back!
00:24:27Chinna!
00:24:29Wait, wait.
00:24:31Tracy Dither's construction company.
00:24:35One moment, please.
00:24:36Good morning.
00:24:37Good morning, Mr. Dither.
00:24:41Good morning, Mary.
00:24:42Bumstead in his office?
00:24:43Yes, Mr. Dithers, but Mr. Pincus is with him.
00:24:45Pincus.
00:24:45Waldo Pincus?
00:24:46Yes, sir.
00:24:47Ollie.
00:24:49Ollie.
00:24:49Yes, sir.
00:24:50Get the blueprint from the utility plant and bring it into Bumstead's office.
00:24:53Look, Mr. Dithers, the only plans we have are all wet.
00:24:55I didn't ask you how you like them.
00:24:57I mean, the blueprint's just out of the tank.
00:24:58It's still damp.
00:24:59I don't care.
00:25:00Bring the damp plans in there.
00:25:01Yes, sir.
00:25:04Well, he's certainly everything you said he was, Mr. Bumstead.
00:25:07Now, if you're ready to talk money...
00:25:09Well, good morning, Mr. Pincus.
00:25:11I'm J.C. Dithers.
00:25:12After the way I've been trying to see you, I'm certainly sorry to have kept you waiting.
00:25:17Jack, but whatever is that?
00:25:18Chin up, white tie for dinner.
00:25:20For whose dinner?
00:25:21That's his name.
00:25:23Amance, isn't he?
00:25:24Enormous.
00:25:26Oh, you like him?
00:25:28I'm glad Bumstead kept you amused until I got here.
00:25:31Kept me amused?
00:25:33Do you mean that this was a ruse to get me to see this, this swindler?
00:25:37Now, Mr. Pincus...
00:25:38Swindler?
00:25:40Bumstead, if you didn't tell Mr. Pincus what we got him here for, I'll not be responsible for what I'll
00:25:45do to you.
00:25:45Here's the blueprint, Mr. Dithers.
00:25:46I can do it without a blueprint.
00:25:49Oh, thanks.
00:25:50Mr. Pincus only came to see Chin up.
00:25:52It had nothing to do with a plant contract.
00:25:54You mean you're using my time and my offices for your personal conferences?
00:25:59But Mr. Pincus wanted to buy Chin up.
00:26:01Oh, no, I don't.
00:26:03And you two are not fooling me any with this act.
00:26:05You can keep your Chin up.
00:26:07But Mr. Pincus, you said yourself that Chin up was just the kind of a dog that you've been wanting
00:26:11for the show.
00:26:12So I made a mistake.
00:26:13He's a humpback, lop-eared imposter.
00:26:16Oh, he is not.
00:26:17And he'll show rings around your soliloquy, and you know it.
00:26:19Ha!
00:26:21Oh, all right, I'll prove it.
00:26:22I'll enter him, and he'll show like the blue blood that he is.
00:26:26Well, with that blueprint in him, he should.
00:26:30Oh, Chin up, Chin up, what are you doing here?
00:26:33Give me a hand.
00:26:34Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Jethers.
00:26:37I'll have another one made for you.
00:26:38I don't want another one.
00:26:40I want that one.
00:26:41Yeah, but this is all.
00:26:42Either that blueprint or you're fired.
00:26:45Oh, well, in that case, come on, Chin up.
00:26:48Come on.
00:26:50Come on, get up.
00:26:53As for you.
00:26:55I know, I know.
00:26:55I called you a swindler.
00:26:56You certainly did.
00:26:57Well, I take it back.
00:26:58Now, look, maybe we can do some business together.
00:27:00You mean, you think, uh...
00:27:01I mean, I think we'll still be able to talk about my new plan.
00:27:04You see, I'm very fond of my dogs, Mr. Jethers.
00:27:06And it's mighty important to me to have my Hamlet soliloquy win the blue ribbon this year.
00:27:11And he'll stand a lot better chance if Bumstead's dog is kept out of the show.
00:27:16Oh.
00:27:34Oh.
00:27:35Oh!
00:27:35Oh, uh.
00:27:36A lovely little litter of seven.
00:27:37Litter?
00:27:38But the plans call for building.
00:27:41Well, I don't know what you'd planned, but you've got puppies, Mr. Wade.
00:27:45Mr. Wade, that's me.
00:27:48Is she... is she all right?
00:27:50She's doing splendidly.
00:27:58Gee.
00:28:13Oh, how is it?
00:28:22You'd better get yourself another job and $35.
00:28:25$35?
00:28:27Yes, $5 for pumping my stomach.
00:28:30$25 for swallowing a box of my rabies cure pills.
00:28:34$5 for pumping my stomach a second time.
00:28:38The wear and tear is gratis.
00:28:40Oh, but I have a $35.
00:28:42Oh, well, then you haven't a dog either.
00:28:44Oh, but I have to have him. I'm entering him in the dog show.
00:28:47Don't make me laugh.
00:28:49What's so funny about that?
00:28:50This is Cliff Peter's champion chin-up, isn't it?
00:28:52Yeah.
00:28:53I've seen him show. He doesn't.
00:28:55What do you mean?
00:28:56Every time he hits a ring, he goes to sleep.
00:28:58He's been disqualified in every show he ever entered.
00:29:01How about my money?
00:29:03Oh, you'll have to wait a little.
00:29:04Little or long, it's all the same to us.
00:29:07It'll be $2 a day while waiting.
00:29:15Dagwood.
00:29:16Huh?
00:29:17Do you really feel so badly about selling that dog?
00:29:20Oh, oh, no, dear.
00:29:21Oh, yes, I can tell.
00:29:23And after you've just made such a good deal on selling him,
00:29:26all I can think of is that you miss him.
00:29:29Blondie, did I say I had sold chin-up,
00:29:31or did I even say I was going to?
00:29:34No, dear.
00:29:35You didn't have to.
00:29:37Yeah.
00:29:38Oh, Dagwood, I'm so proud of you.
00:29:41And I'm sorry I didn't give you credit for better business judgment
00:29:44when you came home with him.
00:29:46And I'm sorry for the way I acted about chin-up, too.
00:29:49But you do understand, don't you?
00:29:52Good night, dear.
00:29:53Good night?
00:29:54But, Blondie, I thought...
00:29:55I know you want it all to be a surprise,
00:29:57so I'm not asking you one thing.
00:30:00Not even the amount of money.
00:30:04Good night, dear.
00:30:05Good night.
00:30:09But if you could give me just an idea,
00:30:13you know about how much money I can plan on?
00:30:16Well, Blondie,
00:30:17maybe you'd better wait a little before you plan on anything.
00:30:22What?
00:30:23Oh, I just said...
00:30:24Well, I know what you said.
00:30:26What did it mean?
00:30:28Well, just that...
00:30:30Well, these deals aren't always as quick as you'd expect.
00:30:34Sometimes there's a little, well, a delay.
00:30:38And sometimes you have to, well, wait a little.
00:30:43And sometimes surprise is surprise.
00:30:46Baby Dumpling and I wanted to do some surprising, too.
00:30:49So we bought his bicycle today.
00:30:51It'll be here tomorrow.
00:30:54I made my appointment for my permanent tomorrow,
00:30:56and the man's coming about the washing machine.
00:31:00Well, I can do without the washing machine.
00:31:03I can go around without a permanent.
00:31:05But if I have to tell Baby Dumpling
00:31:08that he can't keep his bicycle because his daddy...
00:31:11Oh, no, Blondie, don't do that.
00:31:14You mean, then it's all right if he keeps it?
00:31:17Oh, yes, it's all right.
00:31:19Oh, I'm sorry I misunderstood, dear.
00:31:23But you do understand about the baby's bicycle, don't you?
00:31:26Oh, yes, I understand.
00:31:28As long as he can have it, nothing else matters.
00:31:31Oh, yes.
00:31:42Dagwood, will it be all right about the permanent, too?
00:31:48Uh-huh.
00:31:50And the washing machine?
00:31:53Uh-huh.
00:31:56Oh, Dagwood, you're such a lovely and generous husband.
00:32:00Uh-huh.
00:32:02Good night, dear.
00:32:05Good night.
00:32:07Sleep well.
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:15Yeah.
00:32:25Yeah.
00:32:52Blondie, I won't blame you for anything you say or anything you do, but I've got to tell you.
00:32:56I didn't sell Chinup.
00:32:58He's at the vets because I couldn't pay the bill.
00:33:02I couldn't sell him anyway because he won't show.
00:33:05And I lost my job.
00:33:10Huh?
00:33:11I lost my job.
00:33:13Well, say it.
00:33:16Well, say it something, Blondie.
00:33:19Huh?
00:33:41You're taking cold, darling.
00:33:58And just think, Mrs. Bumstead, no more wrecked, red, raw, and roughened hands.
00:34:03No suds, sneezes, stiffness, strain, or stoop.
00:34:06And I stand behind every machine I sell.
00:34:08For how long?
00:34:09For the entire life of the machine, my little man.
00:34:12How's Mr. Bumstead going to like that?
00:34:16Run along, Alvin.
00:34:18Baby Dumplin's waiting for you to teach him how to ride his new bicycle.
00:34:23My goodness, it certainly does do, doesn't it?
00:34:26It certainly does, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:34:28It certainly does.
00:34:29And remember our motto, a flick of the wrist that made us to these and back-breaking bending is gone
00:34:34with the breeze.
00:34:35Oh.
00:34:36Um, how does it work?
00:34:38Just this little switch here.
00:34:40This position for off.
00:34:42This position for normal slushing.
00:34:46This position for more violent agitation.
00:34:49And the fourth position for all it's got.
00:34:51And that's the thing to remember, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:34:53Never turn it to the fourth position unless the legs are securely fastened to the floor.
00:35:00Beep, beep, poo, poo.
00:35:02Beep, beep.
00:35:03Beep, beep.
00:35:04Beep, beep.
00:35:06Alvin, whatever are you doing?
00:35:09I'm teaching Baby Dumplin how to ride his bicycle.
00:35:12Well, I don't think he's going to learn much watching you break your neck.
00:35:15Come on, Squirt.
00:35:17Bust one of your own wings.
00:35:19Okay, oh, chum.
00:35:20Now you're cooking with gas.
00:35:22Baby Dumplin, Alvin, you simply cannot talk like that.
00:35:25I guess the only way we'll ever get over it is to join the boy arrangers.
00:35:30Well, for the moment, Alvin, you can join your mother.
00:35:33And ask her if Baby Dumplin can have lunch with you while I'm getting my permanent.
00:35:37You said a mouthful.
00:35:38I said lunch.
00:35:42I guess boys will be boys.
00:35:45At the risk of repeating myself, Mrs. Bumstead, your entire washing is done with one operation.
00:35:51No boiling, no soiling, no rubbing, no wringing.
00:36:02Perhaps I could hold your attention.
00:36:10Who?
00:36:12This is the Glenhaven Dog and Cat Hospital.
00:36:19Just a moment, please.
00:36:24Would you mind?
00:36:30Now, what did you say?
00:36:32Look, it's Glen.
00:36:34I mean, it's Dr. Glen.
00:36:36The Dog and Cat Hospital, where your dog is.
00:36:40But our dog's right here.
00:36:41You must have the wrong number.
00:36:43No, I haven't got the wrong number.
00:36:46Look, lady, I'm tired and I don't want to play games.
00:36:50And I tell you, there must be some mistake.
00:36:53No, there's no mistake.
00:36:55It's his dog.
00:37:00His champion, Chinna?
00:37:04Do you mean to tell me that Mr. Bumstead, that he just put that animal, that he, oh, the wolf.
00:37:14No, lady, it's not a wolf.
00:37:17It just eats like one.
00:37:19It's a great hulking bulk of worthless dog that eats and eats and eats and eats.
00:37:26Of course, he eats.
00:37:28He's a show dog with a pedigree.
00:37:31And my husband paid $50 for him.
00:37:34Fifty cents would have been too much.
00:37:36And as a show dog...
00:37:38He won't show?
00:37:43He goes to sleep?
00:37:48Oh, oh, what's it mean, Mommy?
00:37:53It means Daddy didn't sell Chinna.
00:37:56And that Mommy isn't going to get a washing machine or a permanent and, and...
00:38:08Be brave, Baby Dumplin'.
00:38:10I know, and my bicycle's not to go back.
00:38:15Never mind, Mommy.
00:38:17It was nice having it all morning.
00:38:19Baby Dumplin', did you want to join the boy rangers as much as you wanted a bicycle?
00:38:25More.
00:38:26Then you can.
00:38:28And you can go to camp and, and you can make fire with sticks and you can carry a knife
00:38:33and, and you can live in a tent.
00:38:35God, if we stay here, we'll live in a tent anyway and...
00:38:39Anyway, we're not going to stay here.
00:38:43Where are you going, Mommy?
00:38:45I'm going to see a lawyer.
00:38:49Now, Mrs. Bumstead, if you'll sign right here.
00:38:51I'm sorry, but I don't live here anymore.
00:38:53Mrs. Bumstead, you've already agreed.
00:38:54That was before my life was ruined.
00:38:57Please turn it off and take it away.
00:38:59But you've committed yourself.
00:39:00I'm on a washing machine just as badly as you want to sell one.
00:39:04But I've got to cancel a bicycle, return a permanent, and get a divorce this morning.
00:39:07Now, will you please turn that thing off?
00:39:09But isn't there some way?
00:39:10No.
00:39:13There.
00:39:14Baby dumping.
00:39:15Open the door.
00:39:19Here, here, here.
00:39:20You can't touch that.
00:39:21But Mommy said...
00:39:22I don't care what Mommy said.
00:39:24But Mrs. Bumstead.
00:39:25And stop Mrs. Bumstead.
00:39:27From now on, I'm the ex-Mrs. Bumstead.
00:39:30No one goes through that door until that glue dries.
00:39:34Look out!
00:39:55My door.
00:39:55Look at that door.
00:39:56Look at that door.
00:39:57Look at that door.
00:40:12You see, Mrs. Bumstead, we lawyers always try just as conscientiously to keep right couples together
00:40:19as we try to get wrong couples apart.
00:40:22Now, a nice young wife like you wanting a divorce, it's a pity.
00:40:27It's a triangle.
00:40:29It usually is.
00:40:31Do you feel your husband still loves you?
00:40:33I thought he did.
00:40:35Until he brought that creature home.
00:40:38To visit you?
00:40:40To live with us.
00:40:42Oh, my.
00:40:43And Eve is out of house and home.
00:40:45Though you sound as if you resent the eating most.
00:40:48I do.
00:40:50I wouldn't have minded everything else.
00:40:56But when the washing machine man was in the kitchen, the veterinary phoned that Dagwood didn't sell chin off at
00:41:01all.
00:41:01And Baby Dumpling's bicycle had to go back.
00:41:05All on account of a dog that my husband loaned $50 to get.
00:41:10And that was the end.
00:41:15Of course, it's not that I mind dogs.
00:41:17We have one.
00:41:19It's just that Dagwood shouldn't have taken this one instead of the $50 that Cook Peters owed him without asking
00:41:25me.
00:41:26Your husband told you he'd sold the dog?
00:41:29Come to think of it, not exactly.
00:41:33You don't want a divorce, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:41:36This is a very clear case of not enough love.
00:41:38But I do love my husband.
00:41:41I mean the dog.
00:41:42It strikes me you're jealous of that animal.
00:41:45I am not.
00:41:46I have only love in my heart for him.
00:41:49That's it.
00:41:50You have only love in your heart.
00:41:53If you say that every time you look at the dog, your troubles will all smooth out.
00:41:59I don't believe it.
00:42:01My husband and I have talked and talked about this.
00:42:04And words won't change a thing.
00:42:06Why don't you think it over?
00:42:08I have thought it over.
00:42:09And every time I think about that dog...
00:42:12You have only love in your heart.
00:42:15I have only love in my heart.
00:42:32Well, good morning.
00:42:37Don't be silly, Dagwood.
00:42:38Come out of there.
00:42:39I won't come out.
00:42:40You can't intimidate me, Mr. Dithish.
00:42:43Nonsense.
00:42:44I just want to congratulate you on that stroke of genius yesterday.
00:42:49Cross your heart?
00:42:50Cross my heart.
00:42:51Finkers and I are going to do business after all.
00:42:53So you've got your job back.
00:42:54On one condition.
00:42:55Is it a possible one?
00:42:57Of course it is.
00:42:58It's just that you promised not to enter chin-up in the dog show.
00:43:01Is that the only condition?
00:43:02Oh, I know what it means to you, Dagwood.
00:43:04But do you agree?
00:43:05No, Mr. Dithish.
00:43:06What?
00:43:07Well, you don't know what it means to me and I do agree.
00:43:10Fine, fine.
00:43:11Oh, one more thing.
00:43:13I want to buy your dog.
00:43:15You want to buy him?
00:43:16Yes.
00:43:16What did he cost you?
00:43:17Well, he cost me $50.
00:43:19Well, that's all right.
00:43:20Oh, but I can't sell him for that.
00:43:21Why not?
00:43:22Well, I've got to get a bicycle out of him now and I've got to get a permanent.
00:43:28Why, your hair looks pretty the way it is.
00:43:31Huh?
00:43:32Oh, no, Mr. Dithish.
00:43:33You see, Blondie's getting a washing machine and I've got to pay the veterinary $35 and I've got to give
00:43:41him $2 more every day that he keeps chin-up.
00:43:44All right, all right.
00:43:45It's a hold-up, but I'll pay you the $50, buy Baby Dumpling the bicycle and Blondie the washing machine
00:43:51and pay the vet.
00:43:52But come on, let's get the dog out right away.
00:43:53At least save the board bill.
00:43:54Well, then he's yours, J.C.
00:43:56All right.
00:43:58But I better go home with you both to show you what to feed him.
00:44:01Oh, no.
00:44:02I'm not taking that monster to my house.
00:44:03You're keeping him for me.
00:44:05But if you like him well enough to buy him...
00:44:07I'm buying him for Pincus to present him at the dog show right at the psychological moment.
00:44:11That'll cinch the deal, see?
00:44:12Yeah, but when do I get the money?
00:44:14At the customary time, as soon as I take possession of it.
00:44:17Come on.
00:44:18You can talk from now until doomsday, but I still say $37 is outrageous.
00:44:23Lady, for what that man-eating tiger consumes, $37 is a drop in his bucket.
00:44:29Then I should think you'd want to get rid of him.
00:44:30$15 and I'll take him off your hands.
00:44:33$20.
00:44:34$17.
00:44:38Boy, give the lady that four-footed family.
00:44:43And my shirt.
00:44:51You should feel pretty proud of yourself for having settled this your own way.
00:45:06We want the bumpster dog.
00:45:08$37.
00:45:10Right?
00:45:10Oh, it was right.
00:45:12What do you mean it was?
00:45:13Not one cent more.
00:45:14Oh, Mr. Dennis.
00:45:16You have to pay more.
00:45:17I can't take chin up home.
00:45:19Blondie thinks I've sold him.
00:45:20If you can't keep him, you'll just have to board him.
00:45:23Well, all right.
00:45:25Make me a weekly rate of $10.
00:45:29This hurts me worse than it hurts you.
00:45:32But I can't make you a weekly rate of $10.
00:45:35I...
00:45:35All right.
00:45:36$15.
00:45:37Oh.
00:45:39Now to take this out of your hide, Dagwood.
00:45:41But if Blondie finds out that I haven't sold him yet, she'll leave me.
00:45:45You don't know how she feels about that dog.
00:45:48Oh, all right.
00:45:52And I have only love in my heart for you, too.
00:45:57But...
00:45:57But how?
00:45:58Never mind how, Dagwood.
00:46:00This takes care of everything.
00:46:01We have nothing else to worry about.
00:46:03That's what you think.
00:46:05I don't know yet.
00:46:06But when I figure out...
00:46:09How this was done to me...
00:46:11Who did it and why...
00:46:13I'll sue you in every court in the land!
00:46:20Oh!
00:46:21Oh!
00:46:23Oh!
00:46:23Oh!
00:46:24Oh!
00:46:24Oh!
00:46:26Oh!
00:46:27Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:28Oh!
00:46:29Oh!
00:46:30Oh!
00:46:45Do you two see what you've done?
00:46:48You ought to be made to sweep up every bit of it.
00:46:50The least you can do is say that you're sorry.
00:46:56I accept your apology, Daisy.
00:46:58And you?
00:47:00Oh!
00:47:03Oh!
00:47:04Oh!
00:47:11Great Dane's specialty show.
00:47:15Cash award of $500.
00:47:19What is the award? $500?
00:47:28Oh!
00:47:35$500!
00:47:38Do you realize what that means?
00:47:44Do you realize what you could do for this family Chin Up Peters?
00:47:48Hyphen Bumstead, hyphen $50?
00:47:51If you had one grain of appreciation.
00:47:54One iota of gratitude.
00:47:58I still have only love in my heart for you.
00:48:02But how can you sit there and look me in the face?
00:48:10Man's best friend.
00:48:13Oh!
00:48:20Oh!
00:48:21In the shade of the old apple tree.
00:48:24In the shade of the old apple tree.
00:48:29In the shade of the tree...
00:48:32in the old apple tree...
00:48:38Why?
00:48:40Why...
00:48:41Chin up!
00:48:43You're...
00:48:49Oh, please, please, do it again, Chinop.
00:48:52Come on, Chinop. Come on.
00:48:55Believe me, Chinop, I have only love in my heart for you.
00:48:58But if you don't...
00:49:03In the shade of the old apple tree
00:49:06In the shade of the old apple tree
00:49:12You can! You can!
00:49:17In the shade of the old apple tree
00:49:21Where the love in your eyes I could see
00:49:26When the voice that I heard, like the song of a bird
00:49:32Seemed to whisper sweet music to me
00:49:36I could hear the dull buzz of the bee
00:49:41In the blossoms, as you said to me
00:49:46With a heart that is true
00:49:49I'll be waiting for you
00:49:53In the shade of the old apple tree
00:50:02Oh, Chinop, oh, Chinop
00:50:06Oh, where'd you get?
00:50:08You can!
00:50:08You can!
00:50:10Oh, my God!
00:50:11Please stop me, Chinop
00:50:11Oh, Chinop
00:50:13Oh, Chinop
00:50:22Oh, Chinop
00:50:26It's a dream
00:50:27We don't have to turn on our apples
00:50:27Oh, Chinop
00:50:27Oh, Chinop
00:50:27Oh, Chinop
00:50:27Oh, Chinop
00:50:31Oh, Chinop
00:50:36Let's go.
00:50:56Bonnie!
00:50:57Yes, dear?
00:50:58Where's the soap?
00:50:59There's a new box in our room.
00:51:06Not for you, Daisy. You're clean.
00:51:11Morning, Mr. Bumstead.
00:51:12Well, well, you certainly look like a bright new penny.
00:51:15I bet you wished I looked like a bright new $50 bill.
00:51:23Morning.
00:51:24Oh, hello, Alvin.
00:51:25Morning, Alvin.
00:51:26My mother wants to know if I can wash my knees.
00:51:29Our water heater's broken.
00:51:31Certainly, Alvin.
00:51:32Right in the bathroom.
00:51:34Well, there's Mommy's little soldier.
00:51:38The uniform certainly doesn't make a difference in a man.
00:51:45No, get straight out of there. That's my tub.
00:51:54There's lots of room.
00:51:55No.
00:51:56A man's got to have some privacy in his own castle.
00:51:58Look, you get out of my bathwater.
00:52:01I'm not using much of it.
00:52:03We boy rangers are singing at the dog show today.
00:52:07Well, I'm singing in my bathtub today, and you get out of it.
00:52:10Every Sunday, I heat enough water for myself,
00:52:12and every Sunday, somebody gets in it.
00:52:15Every Sunday, I have to go through the same thing about hot water.
00:52:19And all the rest of the week, you're in it.
00:52:42Bobby!
00:52:46Yes, dear?
00:52:47I need a clean towel.
00:52:48The laundry came last night, and I haven't opened it yet.
00:52:54Every Sunday.
00:53:00Where is it?
00:53:01In the kitchen?
00:53:23Dagwood?
00:53:30Oh.
00:53:37Oh, pillow skins.
00:53:40Hello?
00:53:41Oh, hello, Mr. Dithers.
00:53:44Hello, Blondie. Is Dagwood there?
00:53:46He's in the kitchen. I'll go get him.
00:53:57Oh.
00:54:00Oh.
00:54:06Hello?
00:54:08Hello, Mr. Dithers.
00:54:09Is my presentation to Pincus all set for this afternoon?
00:54:13Everything's well, and Blondie's been fixing him up like anything.
00:54:17Oh, then Blondie knows about our deal?
00:54:19Oh, not a thing.
00:54:20And she's going to get the surprise of her life.
00:54:22But we've got to think up a good reason for taking Chinup out.
00:54:26Oh, I'll think up something.
00:54:28Let me talk to Blondie.
00:54:29Okay, I'll go up and get her.
00:54:33Oh, Dagwood!
00:54:35Don't go up. She's in the kitchen.
00:54:37Oh.
00:54:57I haven't found Dagwood yet, Mr. Dithers, but I know he's around somewhere.
00:55:00Well, of course he is. I just talked to him.
00:55:03Well, if you've already talked to him, why'd you leave the receiver off the hook?
00:55:08Oh, Blondie, did you speak to Mr. Dithers?
00:55:11Yes.
00:55:12Oh.
00:55:23Oh.
00:55:24Hello.
00:55:25Do you know where I live?
00:55:28No.
00:55:29Well, do you know where you live?
00:55:32No. Oh, no. Yeah, I live here.
00:55:35Oh, then that's my house across the street because we just moved in opposite you.
00:55:52Hello!
00:55:53Oh, hello, Mr. Dithers.
00:55:55Listen, Dagwood, if Blondie isn't in on the deal, how are we going to get the dog out of the
00:55:59house without her finding out?
00:56:01Well, I'll work something out and you just come at one o'clock, Mr. Dithers, and leave everything to me.
00:56:08All right. Goodbye.
00:56:20Oh, Blondie, that's my bathwater.
00:56:24It is?
00:56:25Shame on you, Chin-up, using your father's bathwater.
00:56:37My goodness.
00:56:41The Hark, Hark, the dogs do bark. Beggars are coming to town.
00:56:47Some in jags, some in rags, and some in velvet gowns.
00:56:52Some in jags, some in rags, and some in velvet gowns.
00:56:56Hark, hark, the dogs do bark.
00:57:04Oh, no trace ever made for.
00:57:10Grief cannot drive him away.
00:57:17He's gentle, he is kind.
00:57:22I'll never, never find a better friend than old.
00:57:32Wrong tray.
00:57:34Oh, where, oh, where has my little dog gone?
00:57:38Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
00:57:42With his ears cut short and his tail cut long.
00:57:46Oh, where, oh, where is I lost my little dog?
00:57:50Can't find my little dog.
00:57:52What's that, my little dog?
00:57:54Oh, where can he be?
00:58:04Now, don't forget to thank Mr. Dithers for coming all the way over to our house just to drive you
00:58:09boys down here.
00:58:10Thank you, Mr. Dithers.
00:58:11Thanks.
00:58:12Yeah.
00:58:14Oh, Mr. Dithers and I will walk up with him.
00:58:16Oh, no, I will.
00:58:18There's no need to, Blondie.
00:58:19I want to look up a man in here anyway.
00:58:22Yes, and we wouldn't want you just waiting.
00:58:25No, of course not.
00:58:26Suppose I drive you someplace before we go in.
00:58:29Oh, no, I don't mind waiting.
00:58:32Maybe Ginop would like a walk.
00:58:34Oh, that's right, and we'll take him, huh?
00:58:37Come to think of it.
00:58:39He's had enough exercise.
00:58:41Now, look here, Blondie.
00:58:42Mr. Dithers, let's see if your man's here first.
00:58:47Well, all right.
00:58:49Now, Blondie, don't let anything happen.
00:58:51Chin up.
00:58:52Don't worry.
00:58:53I won't.
00:59:03Don't worry.
00:59:04Daisy, you wait here.
00:59:09Here, folks, a hot dog.
00:59:10The finest dogs in the show.
00:59:12Have you got the cards ready?
00:59:13Get your hot dogs, folks.
00:59:15The hottest dogs in the show.
00:59:16Have your dog and eat it, too.
00:59:18A hot dog.
00:59:20A penny green with every hot dog.
00:59:22Get your hot dogs, folks.
00:59:23The hottest dogs in the show.
00:59:25Have your dog and eat it, too.
00:59:27A hot dog.
00:59:30Come on, Julie.
00:59:31Julie, where are you?
00:59:36Oh, lady!
00:59:38Your dog ate my Julie!
00:59:40My little dog!
00:59:41Oh, that's all right.
00:59:42Nothing seems to ever disagree with...
00:59:44Your dog!
00:59:45My little dog!
00:59:48Oh!
00:59:49Sit it out!
00:59:49Sit it out!
00:59:51Come, come, come, come!
00:59:51Spit it out!
00:59:52Oh!
00:59:53Spit it out!
00:59:54Spit it out!
00:59:56Spit it out!
00:59:56Spit it out!
00:59:57Oh!
00:59:58Oh!
00:59:59Here she is!
01:00:01There you are!
01:00:03Your skillful dear, my Julie!
01:00:10Hello?
01:00:11Hi, fellas!
01:00:13Bye, kids.
01:00:14Now we see you later.
01:00:15Bye, Mr. Deathers.
01:00:16Good luck, boys.
01:00:17Bye, Mr. Bumstead.
01:00:18Bye, Daddy.
01:00:20All right, men.
01:00:21Places.
01:00:23What do you sing?
01:00:24I sing flat.
01:00:31Soliloquy's in pretty good shape, don't you think, Mr. Pincus?
01:00:34He looks fine.
01:00:39Oh, pardon me, lady, but what dog is this?
01:00:41This is champion chin-up white tie for dinner.
01:00:44Double-crossed.
01:00:46No, he isn't crossed at all.
01:00:48Pure strain.
01:00:49Well, I never learned to keep my mouth shut.
01:00:54Here you are, madam.
01:00:55Stall 13.
01:00:59Well, we've got to have another stall then.
01:01:01What kind of luck would we have with a number like this?
01:01:04You'll have to see Mr. Griffin about that, madam,
01:01:05but I don't think you'll have much luck with him, either.
01:01:07He's over here.
01:01:11I wouldn't worry, Mr. Pincus.
01:01:14Soliloquy will outshow any dog.
01:01:16And I'd like to lay money on it.
01:01:17Never mind the money.
01:01:18I'd like to lay my hands on J.C. Dillers, that's all.
01:01:43But I've told you over and over, Mrs. Bumstead,
01:01:46I'd be delighted to give you another stall if there were one.
01:01:53Oh, there he is, Mr. Dillers.
01:01:56How in the world did he get in here?
01:01:58I suppose he just came to see the dogs.
01:02:01Nonsense.
01:02:02Blondie probably got tired of him and brought him in.
01:02:04Huh?
01:02:05Because it's Jenna.
01:02:07Oh, now tell him why did Blondie...
01:02:08Stop worrying, will you?
01:02:09I've told you all along it'll be all right.
01:02:11Now, this simplifies everything.
01:02:13Come on, old fellow.
01:02:14Oh, no, no, not just...
01:02:18I can't wait to see Pincus' face.
01:02:20Yeah, hi.
01:02:25Well, well, Mr. Pincus, your dog certainly looks fine.
01:02:29Oh, so you're here.
01:02:30Well, I should say so.
01:02:31I wouldn't miss this for the world.
01:02:34Matter of fact, I have a little surprise for you.
01:02:36Oh, you have, huh?
01:02:38Well, I have a little surprise for you, too.
01:02:40You cheap, chiseling, double-crossing swindler.
01:02:46Why, Mr. Pincus, what do you mean?
01:02:48You know what I mean.
01:02:49Whose dog is that?
01:02:52Oh, mine.
01:02:53And you had nothing to do with it, I suppose.
01:02:55Are you insane?
01:02:56Why should I put Bumstead's Daisy in a dog show?
01:02:59So you could...
01:03:00Daisy?
01:03:02What's that floor mop doing there?
01:03:07Oh, she must have followed Chinup here.
01:03:10Then Chinup is here.
01:03:11Of course he is, Mr. Pincus.
01:03:12I brought him as a present for you.
01:03:16For me?
01:03:17You mean he's mine?
01:03:19Yes.
01:03:19Well, I don't know how to thank you.
01:03:22But we'll talk about that contract after the show.
01:03:24Oh, now, Mr. Pincus, I don't want you to feel indebted in any way.
01:03:28I'm only giving you the dog because you liked him.
01:03:32Am I pleased?
01:03:34May I have your attention?
01:03:36The next class will be Great Dames.
01:03:38The best to be awarded of Mrs. F. Bell Hoggleberry's annual prize of $500.
01:03:44Will owners and handlers kindly bring their entries to the ring?
01:03:47But how can we win with a number like 13?
01:03:50How can you win without a dog in the ring?
01:03:56Why, this dog could win with his head down and his tail between his legs, Mr. Pincus.
01:03:59I hope so.
01:04:00Good luck.
01:04:02Come on, Chinup.
01:04:03Up here.
01:04:03Come on, boys.
01:04:05That's right.
01:04:06There we are.
01:04:09All right, now, you boys can sit in my box.
01:04:15Oh!
01:04:17You didn't let somebody steal him, did you?
01:04:26I don't like 13 either, but you shouldn't have changed until your mother got back.
01:04:33Be sure and keep her ears up.
01:04:34And watch her angulation.
01:04:37There are three dogs entered in this class.
01:04:40Will the owner or handler of the third one please bring him to the ring?
01:04:43Wait a minute!
01:04:44I'm trying to get through the crowd with my Chinup!
01:04:48Chinup, white tie for dinner?
01:04:49That's right.
01:04:50And is Mr. Pincus crazy about him?
01:04:53Waldo Pincus, the millionaire Dane fancier?
01:04:55You say he's crazy about Chinup?
01:04:57Yes, sir.
01:05:12Who's that woman showing my dog?
01:05:15Well, that's, uh, Bumpster's wife.
01:05:17Blondie.
01:05:18Oh, so the dog was here as a present to me, was he?
01:05:21What goes on?
01:05:23Well, I didn't know he was entered in the show.
01:05:27It's a complete surprise, Mr. Pincus.
01:05:30Surprise?
01:05:31Why, you double-crossing, miserable, cheap...
01:05:34Now, wait a minute, Mr. Pincus.
01:05:36Even if Chinup wins, he's your dog.
01:05:40Say, that's right.
01:05:42Of course that's right.
01:05:45Hiya, Deggie.
01:05:47Say, I meant to call you a couple of days ago.
01:05:49I know you and Blondie would rather have your 50 back than have a big dog like Chinup to feed.
01:05:53Oh, no, no thanks, Cliff.
01:05:55I've made a better deal.
01:06:07Would you line your dogs up there, please?
01:06:25Oh, no, oh, no, no.
01:06:28Bye.
01:06:29Oh, no, yes.
01:06:34I'll get back to you.
01:06:35So that's the kind of a dog you were giving me?
01:06:36Just to make me a laughing stock?
01:06:39Why, you double-
01:06:39Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Pincus.
01:06:41He's tired.
01:06:42So am I.
01:06:43And you just mention that dog or contract to me again and see what happens.
01:06:52So, as nice as I've been to you all my life, you were going to try to jip me.
01:06:57Then you're not going to buy him at two nithers?
01:06:59Do you think I'm crazy?
01:07:01Not only is the deal off, but you were fired as of last June.
01:07:09Cliff, I'll take that 50.
01:07:11Oh, no, you refused my offer.
01:07:13$25?
01:07:14Nothing.
01:07:15Ten.
01:07:25Please, Chinop, please. Remember what you did in the kitchen.
01:07:29Please, don't talk to your dog.
01:07:31Oh, but he's forgotten something.
01:07:33Chinop, if you'll just...
01:07:34Quiet, please.
01:07:41In the shade of the old apple tree.
01:07:45In the shade of the old apple tree.
01:07:48In the shade of the old apple tree.
01:08:12I'm afraid we don't know it.
01:08:15Oh.
01:08:23Mommy, we know trees.
01:08:26Sure.
01:08:27It won't do.
01:08:28It has to be apple.
01:08:33All right.
01:08:34I don't know how much good it'll do, but play it anyway.
01:08:49I think that I shall never see.
01:08:55I think that I shall never see.
01:09:00I think that I shall never see.
01:09:06Oh.
01:09:08Oh.
01:09:09Oh.
01:09:13Oh.
01:09:14Oh.
01:09:22Oh.
01:09:25Oh.
01:09:33Oh.
01:09:36Oh.
01:09:37Oh, oh.
01:09:40Oh.
01:09:41Oh, oh.
01:09:43Oh, or oh.
01:09:49Oh, oh oh.
01:09:52Leave the arms to friends
01:10:04I think that I shall never see
01:10:07A poem lovely as a tree
01:10:12Whose hungry mouth is pressed
01:10:16Against the earth's sweet
01:10:19Growing bread
01:10:23A tree that looks at far away
01:10:29A tree that literally
01:10:33Leave the arms to friends
01:10:39A tree that may in summer work
01:10:46A nest of robins in her hair
01:10:54Upon whose bosom snow has lain
01:11:03Who intermittently lives with rain
01:11:11Homes are made by fools like me
01:11:23Homes are made by fools like me
01:11:31But only God
01:11:42Can make a tree
01:11:56A tree
01:12:03Will the owner of Chin Up White Tie for dinner
01:12:06Kindly step into the ring
01:12:12Is this your dog Mr. Pincus?
01:12:14It certainly is
01:12:15Oh no, you refused him so I didn't give him to you
01:12:17The dog is mine
01:12:18No, no, Mr. Dithers
01:12:20You said you wouldn't buy him
01:12:21He's mine
01:12:22How do you get that way?
01:12:23You said I could have him for the money back
01:12:24Now we'll have to settle this later
01:12:25Will you please leave the ring?
01:12:28Just a moment
01:12:29I have something to say
01:12:31This happens to be my dog
01:12:32Your dog?
01:12:33Yes, mine
01:12:34Here's my entry card
01:12:35Mrs. Dagwood Bumstead
01:12:37Well, that seems to be right
01:12:38But since there's some sort of a misunderstanding
01:12:40We'll have to settle it later
01:12:41Now, please leave the ring
01:12:42Not till I get the money my dog won
01:12:44If anyone else claims this dog
01:12:46I'll have to call the police
01:12:47You won't have to
01:12:48I've got him just outside
01:12:50I'm getting judgment against these people
01:12:52And until I do
01:12:53The dog is mine
01:12:55We'll talk about it later
01:12:56Now, will you please clear the ring?
01:12:59Indian giver
01:13:00No wonder I called you a swindler
01:13:02No one can call me that three times
01:13:05You... you dog thief
01:13:06You said I could have him
01:13:08And a deal is a deal
01:13:09And if you want to know what I think
01:13:10Of your utility plan contract
01:13:12It's this
01:13:14And you've caused me trouble ever since the fourth grade
01:13:18This was all your father's fault for being such a sap
01:13:25I paid for him! You mule doctor!
01:13:28No!
01:13:28Oh, no!
01:13:51Come on, Nuquita!
01:13:53He threw a knife for me!
01:13:55Ladies and gentlemen, please!
01:13:57Please, clear the ring before someone gets hurt!
01:14:15I showed you!
01:14:18Just a minute!
01:14:20Well, if you'd just given me the prize in the first place,
01:14:23this would never have happened!
01:14:24Well, Mrs. Bumstead, since you entered the dog,
01:14:27the officials have decided to give you the prize
01:14:29if Mr. Pincus just tells me he has no valid claim!
01:14:32I will, if Mr. Bumstead will sell me chin-up for a thousand dollars!
01:14:36Oh, he will, Mr. Pincus,
01:14:37if you give us the contract!
01:14:38What do you take with me?
01:14:40Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh!
01:14:41Only if Mr. Dithers will give you back your job!
01:14:44Oh, naturally!
01:14:45I intended to, so...
01:14:45And buy Baby Dumplin's bicycle
01:14:47and pay for the washing machine and the permanent!
01:14:49This is a hold-up!
01:14:50Well, it's only fair, Mr. Dithers,
01:14:52after all the trouble you've caused us!
01:14:54I caused you?
01:14:55Well, it seems to be up to you, Mr. Dithers!
01:14:59Oh, all right, it's a deal!
01:15:01Oh!
01:15:03Now who says my daddy's a sap?
01:15:05So he came out all right!
01:15:07I guess he's just a sucker!
01:15:09That's better!
01:15:13Well, Mr. Pincus, chin-up is all yours!
01:15:16You bet he is!
01:15:17Because here's fifty dollars on account!
01:15:19On account of I'm not going to get jipped out of him again!
01:15:22Oh!
01:15:23All right!
01:15:24Oh, well with him and that!
01:15:25That's right!
01:15:26That's right!
01:15:27Nobody gets the dog
01:15:28till somebody pays me the twenty bucks I was jipped out of!
01:15:31Oh, wait a minute!
01:15:32Maybe we can settle this in a battle of wits!
01:15:34Dithers,
01:15:35I'll think of a number between one and ten,
01:15:37and if you guess the number,
01:15:39I'll pay the doctor!
01:15:40What's the number?
01:15:42Seven.
01:15:44Will I ever learn to keep my mouth shut?
01:15:50So hard feelings!
