06:00On an uptown avenue
06:01Where there's welcome on the mat
06:04You'll find a minute for you
06:05When you hang your hat in a Harlem flat
06:09That's a good thing they thought of as
06:11Why to steal around in the chat?
06:13Bum bum bum bum
06:14You get the easy chair
06:15When you hang your hat in a Harlem flat
06:32When you hang your hat in a Harlem flat
06:45You have to use a chair when you hang your hat in a Harlem flat.
07:19And blessed night, where do you think you are going?
07:21I'd like to know where my room is.
07:23Oh, you would, would you?
07:25Yeah, and I want a room with a southern exposure.
07:28Uh, and Cousin Ethel, if you don't mind, the doctor says I gotta have quiet.
07:32And I'd like to have my breakfast in bed.
07:35Guess what did you all boys do for a living before you come here?
07:38Uh, we was, uh, traveling men.
07:40Traveling men? Yes.
07:42Well, I'm gonna see that you pick up where you left off.
07:46Hey, what's the matter? You can't do that.
07:49You can't do that, please.
07:53I'm tired of working and slaving for a bunch of good-for-nothing tramps like y'all is.
07:58Saying which, I hereby hand in my designation.
08:02From now on, somebody else around here has got to go to work.
08:17Arkees never dream, they must laugh and sing all day.
08:28Can't forget your troubles when you're thinking what they are.
08:35You can't find the sunshine when you're reaching for a star.
08:44Starkey's never dreamed wouldn't help to live that way.
08:56We must walk a weary road that never seems to turn.
09:03What good would it do to yearn?
09:12Starkey's never cried.
09:16Who would ever hear our sad demands?
09:25Live to laugh to die.
09:30That's the way we've learned to be content.
09:39Starkey's never dreamed.
09:44We know what we have to pay.
09:50With a one-way passage only Gabriel will redeem.
09:55On that judgment day.
10:04When we cross that Jordan stream.
10:14That's why I never dreamed.
10:37That's why I never dreamed.
10:38Dear nieces and nephews, I have made millions.
10:44Coming up to visit you and want you all to help me stand some of my door.
11:07Who is it?
11:08It's me, Swami Rivers, the mind reader.
11:14Well, what's on your mind, Swami?
11:17I have been commuting with the spirit, Miss Peabody.
11:20And from certain rumors and designations, I've got some mighty fine news for you.
11:26Sounds like it's going to cost me something.
11:28Oh, now, Miss Peabody.
11:30You know I don't care nothing about money.
11:33I was ethereal, immaterial, and inconsequential.
11:37But if you insist, I'll take two hits.
11:40I knew there was a catch in it.
11:43It's all right.
11:44Now, come on upstairs with me,
11:45because the spirits don't never come down to the basement.
11:50Now, how do you want this good news sprung on you?
11:53By the reading of your palm?
11:55Or the bump on your head?
11:57Or does you just want to be psycho-annihilated?
12:00Let your conscience be your guide.
12:02Just tell me.
12:06Shhh.
12:08Concentrate.
12:14I see something distant.
12:16Don't tell me it's another relation.
12:18It's getting close.
12:20Now I know it's another relation.
12:23Now it's getting closer and closer.
12:26And it's a rich one.
12:28Who is it?
12:29Who is it?
12:30Shhh.
12:31Shut your eyes and concentrate.
12:33Has you got an uncle named Frisbee?
12:35Frisbee?
12:36Yeah.
12:37Yeah.
12:37Samson's Uncle Frisbee.
12:38What about him?
12:39Well, he's a millionaire.
12:41And he doesn't signify to me that he's arriving tonight.
12:44He's coming to spend...
12:46Spend what?
12:47Well, he's going to spend some time with you.
12:50Oh, I thought so.
12:54What's that?
12:58What is it?
12:58I don't know.
13:00I don't know, Miss Peabody.
13:00You don't know.
13:01Let me hear my spirits.
13:03Ethel.
13:03Ethel.
13:05Oh.
13:05Oh, it's you, is it?

13:20We got to give that millionaire uncle a great reception if he wants any part of his dog.
13:24Come on, let's go.
13:29Swarmy, you is a man.
13:31Oh.

13:36It gives you lucky life.
13:39You could buy a purse, bring your best stuff.

13:46Be sure to wear a collar.
13:48Uh-huh.
13:49No matter if it's nice.
13:51Uh-huh.
13:52Don't forget to wear a billiard teen in your hair.
13:55Company is coming tonight.
13:59You can hold your chest up when you dress yourself in style.
14:05And when your suit is pressed up, you just naturally smile.
14:12And you sit at the table.
14:15Forget your appetite.
14:18And if you want a drink, get it out of the seat.
14:22Company's coming tonight.

14:46Why, certainly.
14:47Why, certainly.
14:52Good day, gentlemen.
14:56Nice guy, that Frisby.
14:57He's harmless.
14:58The only fault with him was he used to think he was Emperor Jones.
15:04You'd better get him back.
15:19Howdy there, folks.
15:20Welcome, Uncle Fris.
15:21What's that?
15:22Hello, Uncle Fris.
15:23Not so loud.
15:24They're after me.
15:25Who's after you?
15:26The Army.
15:27You see, they think that I'm Emperor Jones.
15:30Ah, but I fool them.
15:32You know who I am?
15:33Who I am?
15:34I am the Emperor Jones.
15:35Wait a minute.

16:13us some of that money.

16:19Well, what can I do for you, Uncle Frisby?
16:22Don't get so familiar, young man.
16:23I will have you fired.
16:25Yes, sir.
16:26Yes, sir.
16:27Now, get this order straight.
16:29I want four turtle eggs filed nine minutes on one side and three on the turtle.
16:39We all chipped in and bought you a nice fat chicken to surprise you.
16:43I'll bring it in right now.
16:47Listen, Bill.
16:48What's the matter?
16:49There's something awful funny going on around here.
16:52A minute ago, I had my watch, and now it's gone.
16:57What did you look at me for?
16:58I don't know.
16:59Wait a minute, Jim.
17:01Somebody took mine, too.
17:02Yours, too?
17:03It is, Dad.

17:11I'll take the legs.
17:13I'll take any part I can get.
17:18It's gone!
17:20What are we going to do?
17:21Why, it's gone.
17:26Somebody's got my suspenders.
17:30Everything is going around here.
17:32What are we going to do about it?
17:34We'll call swarming.
17:35He'll tell us where that chicken went.
17:37Let's call swarming.
17:38We're going to get you out of here.
17:39I don't want anywhere there.
17:41This is going to be easy.
17:42You all just let me look in my crystal ball, and I'll tell you who stole it.
17:50Good Lord Almighty, I done lost the crystal ball.
17:53No!
17:53Yeah!
17:54Can you imagine that?
17:56But surely you that knows all and sees all don't know where the crystal ball is?
18:01Well, how am I going to tell you where the crystal ball is if I ain't got no ball to
18:04tell me where it is?
