05:38Just rolling along...
05:41Where you going?
05:45You remember that wealthy young widow we wrote to?
05:48Yeah.
05:48Well, while you were out, I got a letter from her.
05:50And she fell for me like a ton of bricks.
05:53We're going to be married as soon as I can get there.
05:57Did you fall for that old crap after all, all you said?
06:01Take a look at that.
06:05Boy, she's a pet.
06:07Isn't she?
06:08I wonder what she can see in you.
06:11Well, she probably thinks...
06:13What do you mean, what she can see in me?
06:16Well, it's funny she never answered my letter.
06:19Well, there's nothing funny about that.
06:21You just weren't the type.
06:26Well, now that you're going to be married,
06:28what are we going to do with the shop?
06:30That's entirely up to you.
06:31You can do just what you please with it.
06:35Well, aren't I going with you?
06:36I'm afraid not.
06:38I'm sorry, but my social position won't permit it.
06:44Goodbye.
06:45Goodbye.
06:46Goodbye.
06:46I'm sitting on top of the world.
06:50Just rolling along.
07:02Good evening.
07:04The name, please.
07:05Oliver Norval Hardy.
07:07I'd like to see the future Mrs. Hardy.
07:10Come in.
07:17Here.
07:44Madam, we'll be right down.
07:48Won't you be seated?
07:49Yes, surely.
08:03Nice weather we had tomorrow.
08:06It's certainly...
08:16...
08:23...
08:28...
08:49Don't disturb, please.
08:58Listen, you, if...
09:03What are you doing here?
09:08Well, all's fair in love and war.
09:11Well, fair or no fair?
09:12You're going to give me my share of this fortune or I'll tell her all about you.
09:16You didn't mail my...
09:17What do you mean, your share?
09:18Well, I want half of what you're going to get.
09:22You want half of what I'm going to get?
09:24You bet your life.
09:25I want my cut.
09:27And I'm going to stay right here till I get it.
09:29All right.
09:30If you'll keep your mouth shut, I'll see that you get it.
09:34Okay.
09:35What did you do with the barber shop?
09:37I sold it.
09:38How much did you get?
09:39Well, I didn't exactly sell it.
09:41I swapped it.
09:43You swapped it?
09:44Yeah, he was a very nice fellow.
09:45Look what he gave me.
09:46Look.
09:52Solid gold.
09:54And he told me to keep it till we got back on the gold standard.
09:57So I'm going to hide it someplace.
09:59And maybe in time...
10:01Is this all you got?
10:02No.
10:03He was very generous.
10:04Guess what he threw in for good measure?
10:06What?
10:07Some nuts.
10:10Mmm.
10:12Mmm.
10:14Mmm.
10:19Mmm.
10:27Oliver.
10:29My queen.
10:34What is that?
10:37What?
10:38This.
10:39Oh.
10:40That's my friend, Mr. Laurel.
10:43Come, Oliver.
10:44Let's make plans for the wedding.
10:46Very well, dear.
10:47Come.
10:48Come.
10:58Come, Oliver.
11:00Come.
11:01Come, Walter.
11:01You must go down there.
11:03Come, Walter.
11:07Come.
11:07Come, Walter.
11:13Take a card.
11:16Go on, take one.
11:18Show it to me.
11:20The seven of diamonds.
11:24Right?
11:26Here, show it to your friend.
11:29Go on, show it to him.
11:33Go on, show it to him.
11:37Oh!
11:41Look.
11:50Take a card.
11:52What?
11:53Take a card.
11:56Take a card.
11:58Look what he did.
12:01You may serve dinner jitters.
12:03Yes, madame.
12:11You dropped one.
12:18You dropped one.
12:20What's the matter with him?
12:22He's crazy.
12:24He imagines things.
12:26Is he dangerous?
12:28Not if you humor him.
12:42Have you a pair of scissors?
12:52I have to find him for a charge.
12:57He was a manager.
12:57Oh, for a day, Paul...
12:58I don't see him, he doesn't know what he is.
13:02See, he's very happy.
13:02He's a good, boy.
13:05He's coming to a battle.
13:05No, I'm not sure where he is.
13:08You don't see him.
13:08You want him?
13:09He's dead.
13:13What's that for?
13:14That means dinner is served.
13:17Come, Oliver.
13:39Go.
13:46Your glass, please.
13:52Oh!
14:12Soup, madame?
14:13Oh, thank you, Jitters.
14:14Your plate, please.
14:31Very little, Jitters.
14:39Mmm.
14:58The crackers, please.
15:01The crackers.
15:24Pass the salt, please.
15:26The salt.
15:38This is the pepper.
15:40Oh, so it is.
15:42The salt.
15:49Salt?
15:54Salt?
16:10Salt?
16:32You are using the wrong fork.
16:38You're nuts.
16:39Who said I was nuts?
16:41She did.
16:44Can I speak to you two gentlemen a moment?
16:48Will you pardon us, please?
16:52Will you be careful?
17:09Shhh.
17:11Don't believe a word she says.
17:15She's the one that's crazy, not me.
17:19Did you ever have your throat cut?
17:22No.
17:23Well, you're going to.
17:26What do you mean?
17:28When you're asleep tonight,
17:30she's going to come into your room
17:33and cut your throat.
17:35The same as she did to seven other Olivers.
17:44We'd better get out of here.
17:46I think so, too.
17:47Goodbye.
17:48Goodbye.
17:50Just a minute.
17:57Are all the doors locked?
17:58Yes, madame.
17:59The windows barred?
18:00Yes, madame.
18:02Show these gentlemen to the guest chamber
18:04in the left wing.
18:05Yes, madame.
18:07Goodbye, Oliver the Eighth.
18:10I hope you have a nice, long sleep.
18:27I wish I had a good cup of my cup.
18:29I wish I had a good cup of my cup.
18:55Goodbye.
19:08Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into.
19:11What are we going to do?
19:12I'm scared to death.
19:13There's only one thing to do.
19:15One of us will have to stay awake all night
19:17to keep her from cutting my throat.
19:19Well, I can't stay awake all night.
19:22You don't have to.
19:24We'll take turns.
19:25I'll sleep awhile while you stay awake,
19:28and then while you sleep, I'll stay awake.
19:31She'll not catch us napping.
19:33Very simple.
19:34Here, hang my coat in the closet.
19:36That's a good idea, Ollie.
19:38You bet your wife it is.
19:41No, sir.
19:42She won't catch us napping.
19:45She won't catch us napping.
19:50Get awake while he's...
19:56Look. Look what I found.
19:59Is it loaded?
20:02Is it loaded?
20:21It's a good thing you weren't inside them.
20:25Give me that gun and get ready for bed.
20:28Inside them.
20:29Oh.
20:32Is everything in readiness?
20:38Are you sure the knife is good and sharp?
20:41Yes, madame.
20:43Now, whatever you do, don't go to sleep...
20:46until I wake up.
20:48And if you see her coming, use the gun.
20:52Good night.
20:54Good night.
20:58Good night.
21:19What are you trying to do?
21:21Do you want me to get my throat cut?
21:24No.
21:24Well, then don't go to sleep.
21:25Well, I can't tell when I'm asleep.
21:28That's why I want you to stay awake...
21:30so that you can see that you're not asleep.
21:33Well, I couldn't help it.
21:34I was dreaming I was awake.
21:36And then I woke up and found myself asleep.
21:53I woke up and found myself asleep.
22:08I woke up and found myself asleep.
22:18I woke up and found myself asleep.
22:19I woke up and found myself asleep.
22:21I woke up and found myself asleep.
22:24I woke up and found myself asleep.
22:27What are you trying to do?
22:29Can't you stay awake without getting into mischief?
22:32Well, I can't stay awake if I've got nothing to occupy my mind.
22:36to do something.
22:38Fall asleep if I don't...
22:41I'll give you something to occupy your mind.
23:15What's this for?
23:19That's merely for my own protection.
23:21That's so you'll keep awake.
23:24As the flame gets near the string,
23:26you move the string down.
23:29If you don't, the flame will burn the string,
23:32the string will release the brick,
23:34and the brick will hit you
23:35on the head.
23:38Now you've got something to occupy your mind.
23:41You'll have to stay awake.
23:44Good night.
23:45Good night.
23:47Good night.
23:51Good night.
24:05Good night.
24:15Ollie.
24:16What?
24:17Don't look now, but there's a man's hand holding you under the foot of the plate.
24:29Get that gun and shoot to kill.
24:36Take it easy now.
24:40Ow!
24:41Ow!
24:42Ow, my foot!
24:43Ow!
24:45Ow!
24:46Ow!
24:47Ow!
24:49Put that gun back in the closet.
24:52Isn't it bad enough that I'm gonna have my throat cut without you trying to shoot me first?
24:56Now, go on.
24:57Get...
24:58Put...
25:01Don't...
25:15Why don't you sleep in bed?
25:18You'll catch a death of cold sleeping here all night.
25:21Good.
26:04I'll leave you, I'll leave you, I'll leave you, she's coming, you've got to stop.
26:08Angel.
26:08Angel.
26:21Only she's going to cut your throat.
26:48What's the matter?
26:52I just had a terrible dream.
26:55Oh.
26:58Angel.
27:00Angel.
27:02Angel.
27:06Angel.
27:07Angel.
27:09Angel.
27:09Angel.
27:10Angel.
27:10Angel.
