The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) is an American horror‑comedy film directed by Roger Corman and written by Charles B. Griffith. It tells the farcical story of Seymour Krelborn, a timid florist’s assistant who accidentally cultivates a carnivorous plant that survives on human blood. As the plant grows, Seymour is pushed into increasingly desperate — and deadly — situations to keep it fed.
Shot on an extremely low budget and filmed in just two days using leftover sets from A Bucket of Blood, the movie blends dark comedy, farce, Jewish humor, and monster‑movie spoof.
Though modest on release, it later became a cult classic, helped by TV broadcasts and the novelty of a young Jack Nicholson in a small but memorable role.

Short filmTranscript
00:00:20My name is Sergeant Joe Fink, working the 24-hour shift out of Homicide.
00:00:24And this is my workshop, the part of town that everybody knows about, but that nobody wants to see.
00:00:30Where the tragedies are deeper, the ecstasy is wilder, and the crime rate consistently higher than anywhere else.
00:00:35Skid Row, my beat.
00:01:02Skid Row, my beat.
00:01:03Skid Row, my beat.
00:01:06Skid Row, my beat.
00:01:09Skid Row, my beat.
00:01:51The most terrifying period in the history of my beat began in a little run-down floor shop called Mushnick's.
00:02:01Ah, good morning, Mrs. Shiva. How's things today?
00:02:04Ah, the same as usual, Mr. Mushnick.
00:02:07My sister's nephew Stanley died in Little Rock, Arkansas.
00:02:11Oh, what happened?
00:02:12He got blown up. Who knows how?
00:02:14That's nice. Well, you would like maybe, as usual, some flowers for the funeral.
00:02:18Should all the quaintness be forgot and never brought too much?
00:02:23I thought possibly, because I always give to you all my funeral business, maybe you should possibly give to me
00:02:30a little cut rate.
00:02:32Look on me, Mrs. Shiva. What am I, a philatelist?
00:02:35I sell on Skid Row nothing but cheap carnations.
00:02:39And I should give you a cut rate. I can't even afford water for the flowers.
00:02:43To my throat, I would be giving a cut.
00:02:45I dreamt, I dwelt in marble halls with vassals...
00:02:51Shut up from the back!
00:02:55Excuse me, Mrs. Shiva. That's Seymour.
00:02:57He's a nice boy.
00:02:59Why don't you let him see?
00:03:00What? See?
00:03:01Look, here I got a new customer. Brand new in the yellow vest.
00:03:05I should let the cleanup boy, but I can't even afford. Chase him out right away.
00:03:13Flowers fresh as the springtime Mushnicks. Hello?
00:03:16Oh, hello, Dr. Farb.
00:03:17What can I do for you today?
00:03:19Listen, Mushnick, I haven't got much time. Send me over two gladiolas and the fern.
00:03:24Excellent. That's two dozen glads, one potted fern.
00:03:26No, no, no, Mushnick, two gladiolas and one fern.
00:03:32You want me to put two gladiolas in the pot with the fern?
00:03:36No, one fern, one piece, all together, three pieces. I need it for my waiting room.
00:03:41Yes, it's a filling-house.
00:03:43What?
00:03:44A filling-house.
00:03:45Good, I'll drill a bigger hole.
00:03:46You mean you want two crummy gladiolas and one crummy fern? What kind of a decoration is that?
00:03:51Listen, it's my flower budget for the week, Mushnick.
00:03:55Who can be a dentist on Skid Row?
00:03:57All right, excellent. I'll send Seymour right away.
00:04:00Who am I to argue with science?
00:04:02Make it snappy.
00:04:04Now you are going to get it.
00:04:07You are going to get it.
00:04:10Look.
00:04:14Seymour Krelboin.
00:04:16Look.
00:04:16Now, Mrs. Shiva, we were talking from the funeral flowers, but the little of the...
00:04:20Seymour Funeral.
00:04:23Did you call me Mr. Mushnick?
00:04:25No. I was calling John D. Rockefeller for to make a loan on my Rolls Royce.
00:04:30Sorry, I said it.
00:04:32Now, look, Seymour.
00:04:34You take two gladiolas.
00:04:36You'll cut them nice and even.
00:04:38You'll take one for him.
00:04:39You'll wrap them in a package.
00:04:41And you'll take them to Dr. Farr.
00:04:42Right?
00:04:44Don't go already.
00:04:46Now, what can I do for you, sir?
00:04:48My name is Burson Fouch.
00:04:50Excellent.
00:04:50I am Gravis Mushnick.
00:04:51Oh, that's a good one.
00:04:52Now, who's going to get my roses?
00:04:54I'll take care of you, Mrs. Shiva.
00:04:56Come right over here.
00:04:57You would like maybe some orchids for a nice girl?
00:05:01No, I think I'd like a couple of dozen carnations.
00:05:03Carnations.
00:05:04A person can't turn around these days that somebody shouldn't drop dead.
00:05:08You've had more than your share of bad luck, Mrs. Shiva.
00:05:11Bad luck, she calls it.
00:05:13You should have so many people kick off.
00:05:15You would have somebody fall on top of you, too.
00:05:17What about the carnations?
00:05:19She said you wanted some roses.
00:05:20Yes, for Stanley.
00:05:25My carnations.
00:05:29You should see what that Seymour is doing.
00:05:32Oh, here are your carnations.
00:05:33Wait, I'll wrap them for you.
00:05:35No, that's all right.
00:05:35I'll leave them here.
00:05:41Why not?
00:05:45Of course, what else?
00:05:48They are all right?
00:05:49Well, I've had better.
00:05:50Well, this is a small shop.
00:05:52That's okay.
00:05:53You know, those big places, they're full of pretty flowers, expensive flowers.
00:05:56When you raise them for looks and smell, you're bound to lose some food value.
00:05:59I like to eat these little out-of-the-way places.
00:06:03Such a thing, eating flowers.
00:06:05Look, don't knock it until you try it, huh?
00:06:08Look what happened.
00:06:12This is what I was trying to tell you before.
00:06:15Look on him, everybody.
00:06:16Look at the quality of his work.
00:06:18I ask you, when I fired him, where is he going to get such another good job?
00:06:23You mean I'm fired?
00:06:24No, I'm electing you president from the United States.
00:06:27Yes, you are fired.
00:06:29Gravis, you can't do that.
00:06:30Who?
00:06:30Who can't?
00:06:32I didn't mean it.
00:06:33You didn't mean it.
00:06:35You never mean it.
00:06:36You didn't mean it the time you put up the bouquet with the get-well card in the funeral parlor
00:06:41and sent the black lilies to the old lady in the hospital.
00:06:44You didn't mean it.
00:06:45But this time, I, Gravis Mushnick, mean it.
00:06:50He means it.
00:06:52But gee, Mr. Mushnick, don't I always try to do what's right?
00:06:56And I'm crazy about flowers.
00:06:57I like flowers almost as much as Audrey does.
00:06:59Excellent.
00:07:00You're fired.
00:07:01Why don't you give him a chance to resurrect himself?
00:07:03I give him a chance to quit.
00:07:05I ain't gonna quit.
00:07:05You're a brave boy.
00:07:06You're fired.
00:07:08But that ain't fair, Mr. Mushnick.
00:07:10You know what I'm doing?
00:07:11I'm working on a special surprise plant just for you.
00:07:14I'm growing a plant like you ain't never seen before.
00:07:17Excellent.
00:07:17I can't even sell the plants I got in my shop.
00:07:19Out, you.
00:07:20Now, wait a minute.
00:07:21If he's got a new kind of plant, you ought to look at it.
00:07:23I don't look on flowers, Mr. Yellow Vest.
00:07:25I got ancestors in the flower business for 200 years,
00:07:29but I got one shop on Skid Row, one stinking shop.
00:07:31I don't even like flowers.
00:07:33You don't understand what I mean.
00:07:34Look, I've eaten in flower shops all over the world.
00:07:37And I've noticed that the places that have the most weird and unusual
00:07:40plants do the best business.
00:07:41See?
00:07:41See?
00:07:42See?
00:07:43What is this, a tango?
00:07:45All right.
00:07:47Explain me more.
00:07:49Well, I remember one place that had a whole wall covered with poison ivy.
00:07:53And people came for miles around to look at that wall,
00:07:54and they stayed to buy it.
00:07:55The owner got rich?
00:07:57No.
00:07:57He scratched himself to death in an insane asylum.
00:07:59Oi!
00:08:00That was my cousin Harry.
00:08:03All right.
00:08:04All right.
00:08:06You go home, and you get this fancy-schmancy plant,
00:08:08and you bring it back here.
00:08:09And if Mr. Yellow Vest Vouch says it's a draw,
00:08:12you've still got a job.
00:08:13If he don't, out you go to both of you, right?
00:08:15Don't worry.
00:08:16You'll like it.
00:08:16You'll see.
00:08:35This is Radio KSIK.
00:08:38You've been listening to music for old invalids.
00:08:41Our next selection is entitled Sick Room Serenade.
00:08:46Seymour, is that you?
00:08:48Yeah, Ma.
00:08:49Come in here and look at my tongue.
00:08:52But, Ma, I've already seen your tongue.
00:08:55Have you no sympathy for your poor mother?
00:08:58Laughing at her and mocking her illness,
00:09:00and she's got one foot in the grave?
00:09:02Oh, I didn't mean it.
00:09:04Oh, you never mean it.
00:09:05Oh, come on, look at my tongue.
00:09:07My tongue's a tongue, Ma.
00:09:08They all look the same to me.
00:09:10Oh, did you stop at Dr. Mallard's
00:09:12and get the results of my tests?
00:09:14Yeah, he said there's nothing wrong with you.
00:09:16Oh, no, Dr. Mallard.
00:09:18He's one doctor I thought would tell the truth.
00:09:20He said you should be playing fullback for the Rams.
00:09:22He wants me dead.
00:09:24I'll bet he's assistant coroner.
00:09:26Ma, I got a...
00:09:27And I know I've got my goiters coming back.
00:09:30I can feel it every morning after breakfast.
00:09:33Yeah, that's when you take those great...
00:09:34Oh!
00:09:36What, you got a little surprise for me?
00:09:39Open it up and see.
00:09:40All right.
00:09:46Dr. Slurpsaddle's famous tonic.
00:09:50Oh, wait here.
00:09:53To be taken internally or externally for pain and neuritis,
00:09:58neuralgia, headache.
00:10:00If hit by a truck, call your physician.
00:10:04Alcoholic contact, 98%.
00:10:10Oh, Seymour, you'll never know what this is going to do for me.
00:10:20Oh, I can feel that surge of warm health going through me already.
00:10:26Look, Ma, I've got to get my plant and hurry back to the shop.
00:10:30You mean that lousy weed out in the kitchen?
00:10:31Yeah, and if Mr. Mushnick doesn't like it, he's going to fire me.
00:10:37Apparently, my hearing is going out on me.
00:10:40I get the distinct impression it's your job security.
00:10:44Depends on what Mushnick thinks of that thing.
00:10:47Gee, it looks worse than it did this morning when I went to work.
00:10:49I wish I knew what to do with it.
00:10:51Well, if you asked me, I'd pitch it out in the trash.
00:10:54I don't like my house cluttered up with rotten vegetables.
00:10:57Look, Ma, I've got to hurry.
00:10:58Can I bring you anything?
00:10:59Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bring me the evening news.
00:11:02They're running a self-diagnosis contest.
00:11:05The winner gets to go to the Mayo Clinic.
00:11:08Bye, Ma.
00:11:09Bye, son. I'll see you the rosy edge of dawn.
00:11:13Drink to me, old friend, with thine eyes, and I will...
00:11:23Now, put this on my bill.
00:11:27Well, here it is, everybody.
00:11:30What do you think of it?
00:11:31Well, it sure is different.
00:11:34It looks delicious, but don't you think it's kind of stale?
00:11:36It hasn't been feeling too well.
00:11:37You call that a fancy plant.
00:11:39It looks like it never spent an empty day in its entire life.
00:11:42I don't care. I like it anyway.
00:11:44You, you like even skunk cabbage.
00:11:47Yeah.
00:11:48What kind of a plant is this, Seymour?
00:11:50Well, I'm not sure.
00:11:51I got the seeds from a Japanese gardener over on Central Avenue.
00:11:55He found them in with an order he got from a plantation next to a cranberry farm.
00:11:58Fine, fine.
00:11:59You don't even know what is this plant you're growing.
00:12:02Well, I gave it a name.
00:12:03What name?
00:12:05Oh, gee.
00:12:06What? You gave it a dirty name?
00:12:07You can't even mention it?
00:12:08Well, I named it Audrey Jr.
00:12:12You named it after me?
00:12:14Oh, really?
00:12:15That's the most exciting thing anyone's ever done to me.
00:12:18You poor kid.
00:12:20I don't think it's so much.
00:12:21I should keep on spending $10 a week on your salary.
00:12:24But Gravis, he named it after me.
00:12:27I know.
00:12:27And if they keep it, they'll name it Mushnick's Volley
00:12:29because I'll be in jail for non-payment of taxes.
00:12:32Are you crazy?
00:12:33Who, who?
00:12:33You, you.
00:12:34That's probably the only plant of its kind in the world.
00:12:36Don't you realize if Seymour can nurse that thing back to health,
00:12:39you'll have people coming here from all over?
00:12:40You think so, you follow?
00:12:41I know so, you Mushnick.
00:12:43That's all I'm saying on the subject.
00:12:45Besides, I've got to get home.
00:12:45My wife's making gardenias for dinner.
00:12:49Good night, you pal.
00:12:50Good night.
00:12:51And I'll see you tomorrow.
00:12:53Crazy about kosher flowers.
00:12:55He's a nice man.
00:12:58Maybe he knows what he's talking about.
00:13:00Maybe he's not so stupid.
00:13:02I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:13:04I'll keep you and this Dumbbell Jr. for a week.
00:13:06If you can nice it back to health, you both can stay.
00:13:09If you can't, you're both fired.
00:13:11Oh, Chief, thank you, Mr. Mushnick.
00:13:16Don't feel sad, Seymour.
00:13:19Don't waste your pity on me, Audrey.
00:13:21I'm not worth it.
00:13:22Who says you're not?
00:13:24Everybody.
00:13:25Yeah, I know.
00:13:27But I think you're a fine figurative of a man.
00:13:30And I know that Audrey Jr. will be the sweetest thing in the whole wide world.
00:13:35Well, I don't know.
00:13:37I've given it every kind of fancy fertilizer and atomic plant food and distilled mineral water you can buy.
00:13:43But it just gets sicker and sicker.
00:13:45Don't worry.
00:13:47You're going to be another Luther Glendale.
00:13:49Pasadena.
00:13:51Burbank.
00:13:52Good night, Seymour.
00:13:54Good night, Audrey.
00:14:04What's the matter, little plant?
00:14:07Haven't I done everything I could for you?
00:14:10Where did I goof?
00:14:13You're the first little plant I ever tried to grow.
00:14:16And if you die, I don't know what I'll do.
00:14:18Please don't die.
00:14:22I'll get you some water, okay?
00:14:41Oh, gee, you opened up just like you do every night at sunset.
00:14:46I wish I knew how to make you grow.
00:14:49Here, let me move this out of your way so you can breathe.
00:14:52Ow!
00:14:53Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
00:14:56Hey, what happened?
00:14:58How come you woke up?
00:15:01Blood?
00:15:02You like blood?
00:15:05Oh, you must be kidding.
00:15:09Well, we'll see.
00:15:18I don't know what I'm doing for you.
00:15:23Ow!
00:15:30Oh, who would have thought it?
00:15:33Well, I guess there's just no accounting for people's tastes.
00:15:49You're the most magnanimous person in the whole world.
00:15:50Oh, my boy.
00:15:51You're the most magnanimous person in the whole world.
00:15:53Look on him, Audrey.
00:15:55Isn't he beautiful?
00:15:56Isn't he delicious?
00:15:57Isn't he got the two-dollar raise?
00:15:58What happened to your fingers?
00:16:00These things.
00:16:01So how come I'm all of a sudden so wonderful?
00:16:03Five Bs, one from each finger?
00:16:05Ten Bs.
00:16:06Did you say I was getting a two-dollar raise?
00:16:08Correct, my very excellent, Seymour.
00:16:10Ten Bs.
00:16:11What did I do now?
00:16:12Don't you know what you did?
00:16:14Just look.
00:16:17Oh, boy, look at that.
00:16:19It grew.
00:16:20It's almost a foot long.
00:16:22Isn't it empirical?
00:16:24It grows like a cold-sourped lip.
00:16:28Oh, hello, young, pretty ladies.
00:16:30What can Gravis Mushnik do for you?
00:16:31Well, we saw your sign outside.
00:16:33About the Audrey Jr.
00:16:34So we thought we'd come in and take a look.
00:16:35Well, give a look.
00:16:36That makes four people today who've come in just to look at it.
00:16:40Oh, did, Shirley.
00:16:41Is that just too much?
00:16:43Oh, what kind of plant is it?
00:16:44It's an Audrey Jr.
00:16:46Where was it?
00:16:46You got in trouble with ten Bs.
00:16:48Well, is that all?
00:16:49I mean, doesn't it have a scientific net?
00:16:50Yes, of course, but who could denounce it?
00:16:52You would like maybe to buy something.
00:16:54Well, we don't have any money.
00:16:55Except $2,000.
00:16:58But that's just to spend on flowers.
00:17:00So we don't have any of our own.
00:17:01Isn't that a drag?
00:17:03You got just $2,000 just for to spend on flowers?
00:17:07That's right.
00:17:08Who died?
00:17:09The Chamber of Commerce?
00:17:10Well, we're from Cucamonga High School.
00:17:11And we're building a float for the Rose Bowl parade.
00:17:13Which is made out of flowers.
00:17:15Thousands of them.
00:17:16And we're on the committee that picks the florist
00:17:18and then glues on the flowers.
00:17:21Gee, that sure is a mad plant.
00:17:23Wow, yeah.
00:17:24Seymour here invented it.
00:17:26He did.
00:17:27Oh, thousands of flowers.
00:17:28Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls.
00:17:30Please don't damage the horticulture is.
00:17:34Tell me, how come you don't buy all these thousands of flowers from Gravis Mushnik?
00:17:38My flower has got something the others don't.
00:17:41What's that?
00:17:41The cheek.
00:17:42Well, gee, if your shop is good enough to develop the Audrey Jr.
00:17:46I guess it can get us everything we need.
00:17:48Yeah.
00:17:48We'll talk it over with the rest of the committee.
00:17:50Excellent.
00:17:50Well, we've got to run now.
00:17:51Bye, all.
00:17:51Bye, sir.
00:17:52Bye, sir.
00:17:53Bye.
00:17:53Bye.
00:17:53Bye, girls.
00:17:58A son.
00:18:00A son.
00:18:01Look, Audrey.
00:18:03I got a son.
00:18:05Oh, gee, Mr. Mushnik.
00:18:07What, Mr. Mushnik?
00:18:08I don't want you should call me Mr. Mushnik anymore.
00:18:10I want you should call me Dad.
00:18:12Okay, Dad.
00:18:14Isn't that beautiful?
00:18:15Seymour Krellboyne, come over here, my son.
00:18:19I want to talk on you about the future.
00:18:22Look on this flytrap.
00:18:23Look on it.
00:18:25Soon we got no more Skid Row.
00:18:27We will be rich.
00:18:28Us.
00:18:29I am building for you a giant greenhouse in which you are making impossible flowers,
00:18:35which in turn I am selling at ridiculous prices in my giant new flower saloon in Beverly Hills.
00:18:42Do you see that big sign in the sky?
00:18:46It is saying Gravis Mushnik in French.
00:18:50Isn't it exciting?
00:18:51And we'll have an orchestra right by the cash register.
00:18:55And Gravis will wave his arms.
00:18:57And the orchestra will play Mendelssohn's spring song.
00:19:00And I'll come out in a gown wrapped by somebody expensive and say...
00:19:04The carnations are $600 a dozen, two dozen for a thousand.
00:19:08It's a bargain.
00:19:09Get them while they laugh.
00:19:10Stop shouting.
00:19:12My Uncle Mushnik just passed away.
00:19:16He turned to fly to New Jersey.
00:19:18Tell me, how much are the carnations today?
00:19:21The carnations are $600 a dozen.
00:19:24And why are they letting him run around loose?
00:19:26Please, please excuse my son, Mrs. Shiva.
00:19:28Just point to anything in the store and it is yours.
00:19:31I mean, that's right.
00:19:33The cash register maybe, huh?
00:19:34Ah, wait a minute.
00:19:36Here.
00:19:37Here are several dozen carnations on the house courtesy of Gravis Mushnik de Blum, Tycoon.
00:19:45That's my dad.
00:19:46Thanks.
00:19:47Thanks very much.
00:19:50Only tell me, why are you so happy?
00:19:53Not only did my Uncle Mushnik's brother Yankle die, Tenefley, New Jersey.
00:20:00You should also give some flowers to that put that plant there.
00:20:05Good morning, Mr. Mushnik.
00:20:07Good morning.
00:20:09Good morning.
00:20:10Look what happened to my plant, Dad.
00:20:12Who are you calling Dad?
00:20:13Who, who?
00:20:14Oh, no.
00:20:15And it was so beautiful just a few seconds ago.
00:20:18Excellent.
00:20:19Just a few seconds ago, I gave away dozens of carnations.
00:20:21Free to Mrs. Shiva.
00:20:23I didn't mean it.
00:20:25You have perhaps an explanation.
00:20:27No, but if you give me a minute, I'll think of one.
00:20:29I can see it all now.
00:20:31We are in the poor house.
00:20:33That big sign in the sky, it is reading,
00:20:37Seymour Krelboind, rest in peace.
00:20:40In Arabic!
00:20:41Oh, you've got to give him another chance.
00:20:43You promised me a week, Mr. Mushnik.
00:20:45I'll sit up all night with that plant.
00:20:47It'll be healthy in the morning.
00:20:48You'll see.
00:20:49I promise.
00:20:50I promise.
00:21:01Eat me.
00:21:07Feed me.
00:21:11Feed me.
00:21:17Who said that?
00:21:19You said that.
00:21:20You said that.
00:21:21Mmm, feed me.
00:21:25You said that.
00:21:27You can talk.
00:21:29I've got a talking plant.
00:21:31Say it again.
00:21:32Feed me.
00:21:33Oh, boy.
00:21:36I've never been to college, and I ain't been around much.
00:21:39But I'd have been willing to bet there ain't no such thing as a talking plant.
00:21:42But I'll take your word for it.
00:21:45Gee, Junior, I'd like to feed you.
00:21:47But I used up all my fingers.
00:21:49Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee!
00:21:52Well, look at me.
00:21:55I'm all cut to pieces.
00:21:57But maybe I can find another drop here someplace.
00:22:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:22:06That's the best I can do.
00:22:08More.
00:22:09More.
00:22:10But I'm already anemic.
00:22:13Feed me more.
00:22:15Gee, Junior, I'd be happy to give you anything I got.
00:22:19But I've got to keep a little blood for myself, or I'll be in worse shape than Mom.
00:22:23Hmm.
00:22:24I'm sorry, Junior.
00:22:26Oh, I'll go for a walk.
00:22:27Maybe I'll think of something.
00:22:57I'll go for a walk.
00:22:58Go for it!
00:23:01Go for it!
00:23:21Ow!
00:23:22No!
00:23:25Ah!
00:23:26Mom!
00:23:42Oh, my God.
00:23:57Oh, my God.
00:24:35Daddy, there's somebody out there.
00:25:04Oh, my God.
00:25:16Oh, my God.
00:25:19Oh, my God.
00:25:21Feed me.
00:25:23I'm sorry, pal.
00:25:24I'm fresh out of blood.
00:25:25Talk to somebody else.
00:25:26I'm hungry.
00:25:28I don't care what you are.
00:25:30Can't you see I'm knocked out?
00:25:31I just killed a man.
00:25:33I'm a murderer.
00:25:35You think it's fun to be a murderer?
00:25:37You think it's fun to haul around a sack full of food?
00:25:42Oh, no, Junior.
00:25:43What kind of guy do you think I am?
00:25:45I'm starved.
00:25:50Maybe just a snack.
00:26:01That looks great.
00:26:13Now, that is what I call a salad.
00:26:15What do you call that salad?
00:26:17Cesarean.
00:26:19Well, before the next course, I think I'll have a nice cigar.
00:26:22You all right?
00:26:24You would like maybe a cigar?
00:26:27You don't smoke cigars.
00:26:29What am I thinking about?
00:26:31Where are the matches?
00:26:32Oh, boy.
00:26:34You know what I found?
00:26:35What?
00:26:36I'm looking for the matches.
00:26:38And I found I left the money and dollar suit.
00:26:44Here's your mock chicken legs.
00:26:46You don't have any money?
00:26:50So what else is new?
00:26:53All right.
00:26:53All right.
00:26:54I made a mistake.
00:26:55After all, a man is entitled?
00:26:58Go on.
00:26:58This is your story.
00:27:00I'll wait for the punch.
00:27:01Don't get smart with me, girlie.
00:27:03I'll have you know that in my shop in the cash register,
00:27:07I'm having the total day's receipts,
00:27:09which is summing up to more than $9.
00:27:12You'll bring the rest of the food,
00:27:14then I'll go to the shop and get the money.
00:27:17You're playing my favorite song.
00:27:20Now, look here, Buster.
00:27:22One of you is going to go down right now and get the loot,
00:27:25while the other one stays here until the first one gets back,
00:27:29if you get what I mean.
00:27:31Oh, fine.
00:27:32In this fancy-schmancy restaurant,
00:27:34you are holding hostages, right?
00:27:36Right.
00:27:38Excellent.
00:27:40You eat up, Audrey.
00:27:42I'll be back in a flash with the cash.
00:27:44Bye, Grandma.
00:28:19This is the sweet one.
00:28:24Ah!
00:28:33You flush now, right?
00:28:35Bring me whiskey, rum, wine, gin, bourbon.
00:28:39Scotch, rye, tequila, sake, manischewitz.
00:28:43Did you bring the money?
00:28:44Don't bug me with the money.
00:28:46I got to get drunk now.
00:28:48What flipped him?
00:28:49I don't know.
00:28:50Look, here, take it.
00:28:52Bring me anything.
00:28:52Bring me everything.
00:28:53Creme de mince.
00:28:54Everything you got.
00:28:55Okay.
00:28:58Gravis, what happened?
00:28:59Don't ask.
00:29:00You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:29:01Ghosts I could handle.
00:29:03Don't ask.
00:29:04Why don't you tell me?
00:29:05Maybe I could help you.
00:29:06Help you couldn't.
00:29:07Try and eat something.
00:29:08It'll calm your aggrammation.
00:29:13In mine own shop.
00:29:15Audrey, you wouldn't believe it.
00:29:17I wish you'd break out and tell me.
00:29:19All right, I'll tell you tomorrow.
00:29:20Right after I am telling the police.
00:29:25But Mushnick didn't come to the police.
00:29:28If he had, that might have been the finish of the unhappy story.
00:29:32It was not.
00:29:51Hi, Gravis.
00:29:52$85 with the business already and we barely opened.
00:29:58What did I tell you?
00:29:59You wouldn't be interested in selling a half-mitcher to this place, huh?
00:30:03Mr. Mushnick.
00:30:04We talked to the committee.
00:30:05And they said we could use your power.
00:30:06On the float.
00:30:07And guess what?
00:30:08We're going to feature Audrey Jr.
00:30:10Right on top.
00:30:11Can't you just picture it?
00:30:12I can picture it.
00:30:14Oh, won't the people just eat it up?
00:30:15Eat up the people.
00:30:17And we're going to have the big part of it open.
00:30:18So she can sit in it.
00:30:20Who?
00:30:20The queen.
00:30:21With her crown and scepter.
00:30:22She'll be so cute.
00:30:24Oh, you could just eat her up.
00:30:25Eat up the girl.
00:30:26Oh, there's Seymour.
00:30:28No, there are.
00:30:29Oh, oh, oh, oh, I got a toothache.
00:30:31Oh, I got a toothache.
00:30:33Oh, I got a toothache.
00:30:34You come to me.
00:30:35Oh, my jaw.
00:30:36I got a toothache.
00:30:37It hurts.
00:30:38Oh, that's all my jaw.
00:30:39Oh, my jaw.
00:30:40Oh, my jaw.
00:30:40Oh, my jaw.
00:30:41Oh, my jaw.
00:30:43Now, Seymour, talk on me.
00:30:45Oh, I got a toothache.
00:30:46What do you want to talk about?
00:30:47That plant, is that a nice subject for to talk?
00:30:50The plant, the plant is great.
00:30:52It's four times bigger than it was yesterday.
00:30:54I saw, I saw.
00:30:55How come the plant is now so big?
00:30:57Oh, I don't know.
00:30:59But look at all them people out there.
00:31:01We've only been open a half hour,
00:31:02and we've already done $70 worth of business.
00:31:04$85.
00:31:05Now, look, Seymour.
00:31:07You gave this plant a fancy name, Audrey Jr.,
00:31:09but I want to know right now, what do just people call it?
00:31:13Well, it's a cross between a butterworth and a Venus flytrap.
00:31:16Venus flytrap.
00:31:18And what are the habits of this Venus flytrap?
00:31:20Well, the book says it eats insects.
00:31:22It eats them three times in its life, and then it's full grown.
00:31:25Excellent.
00:31:26And how many times is this one eat?
00:31:29Well, once or twice.
00:31:31You don't remember?
00:31:33Well, this is kind of an unusual type flytrap.
00:31:37That is a possibility.
00:31:39It may never eat again.
00:31:40I don't see how it could get any bigger.
00:31:43Then you think you don't need any more flies.
00:31:46Yeah.
00:31:50Oh, my tooth is just killing me.
00:31:53All right, excellent.
00:31:55You run along to the dentist.
00:31:56I'll take care of things here.
00:31:59Thanks, bud.
00:32:00Gravis, we've got to order more flowers.
00:32:03Tons of them.
00:32:10I'm making lots of money.
00:32:25Oh, no, no, no, please.
00:32:27Oh, no, no, no, please.
00:32:29Don't hurt me anymore.
00:32:31I can't stand it.
00:32:33Oh, no, no, no.
00:32:36That'll teach you to keep your bill up to date, you deadbeat.
00:32:38Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:32:46Go ahead and run, you sniffling dog.
00:32:47Go ahead and run.
00:32:48I'm glad I hurt you.
00:32:48I'm glad.
00:32:49I'm glad.
00:32:50Seymour.
00:32:51Seymour.
00:32:52Got a bad tooth, huh?
00:32:53No, I thought this was the men's room.
00:32:55Seymour, come back here, you bad dog.
00:32:57You get in there.
00:32:59So, you are the young man who ruined my gladiolas, huh?
00:33:03Sit down. Come on.
00:33:10Guess what?
00:33:12My tooth stopped hurting. Yes, I know.
00:33:15Let's see. Shut up and open up.
00:33:24Does that hurt?
00:33:25Yeah.
00:33:26Good. You haven't felt anything yet.
00:33:28Uh-huh.
00:33:28Get it over here.
00:33:30Seymour, who is the dentist here? You or me?
00:33:33I'll find that tooth.
00:33:34Uh-huh.
00:33:35Uh-huh.
00:33:37Look at that stalagmite.
00:33:40But don't worry. It's going to be an easy one, Seymour.
00:33:43I won't even use Novocaine.
00:33:44Oh, you broke the mirror in my mouth.
00:33:47Well, don't tell me about it, stupid. Just swallow it.
00:33:50All right. Yes. Let's see now, Seymour.
00:33:53Let's see. I'll have this one and this one and that one.
00:33:56And I have to have this one, Seymour.
00:33:58It's only one, too.
00:33:59Seymour, who is the dentist here? You or me?
00:34:00Are you practicing dentistry without a license?
00:34:03No.
00:34:03All right. Uh-huh.
00:34:05Let's see.
00:34:07Oh, shh.
00:34:10Seymour, Seymour, don't be mad at me.
00:34:15Look at that.
00:34:17Will you look at that, Seymour? I didn't know you were an elk.
00:34:21Look.
00:34:22You know, I can't afford an assistant.
00:34:25So I get this ready, instant mix.
00:34:29It doesn't last very long, but it tastes good.
00:34:31Mm.
00:34:33All right, Seymour.
00:34:34Oh, stay away from me.
00:34:36Seymour?
00:34:36You're trying to kill me.
00:34:38A duel.
00:34:39Aha.
00:34:53Is this Stotterp's office?
00:34:54Uh, just a minute.
00:34:57Oh, yes. I see it is.
00:35:06You can come in now.
00:35:16My name is Wilbur Force.
00:35:19Wilbur Force what?
00:35:20Just Wilbur Force.
00:35:23My first name is Wilbur. My last name is Force.
00:35:27I don't have a middle name.
00:35:29Well, you have an appointment, maybe?
00:35:31No, but you were very highly recommended to me by one of your patients, a Mrs. S. Shiva.
00:35:38I do a lot of undertaking for her relatives.
00:35:41Well, as you can see, I have a customer now,
00:35:44and I'm all booked up for the rest of the day, so you'll have to come back tomorrow.
00:35:48Oh, I couldn't do that.
00:35:49I have three or four abscesses, a touch of pyorrhea, nine or ten cavities,
00:35:55I lost my pivot tooth, and I'm in terrible pain.
00:35:58Well, I can't help you today.
00:36:01Oh, that's all right.
00:36:03I'll just wait outside.
00:36:15The patient came to me with a large hole in his abdomen, caused by a fire poker used on him
00:36:21by his wife.
00:36:23He almost bled to death, and gangrene had set in.
00:36:26I didn't give him much of a chance.
00:36:29There were other complications.
00:36:31The man had cancer, tuberculosis, leprosy, and a touch of the grip.
00:36:39I decided to operate.
00:36:41My patient just left. You could come in now.
00:36:45Oh, goody.
00:36:49I didn't see the other man leave.
00:36:51Well, he went out the back door.
00:36:57You know, most people don't like to go to the dentist, but I rather enjoy it myself, don't you?
00:37:03I mean, there's such, there's a real feeling of growth, of, of progress when that, that old drill goes in.
00:37:12I mean, I'd almost rather go to the dentist than anywhere, wouldn't you?
00:37:16Yeah.
00:37:18Now, no, no, McCain, it dulls the senses.
00:37:22This is gonna hurt you more than it is me.
00:37:25Oh, goody, goody, here it comes.
00:37:35Oh, my God, don't stop now.
00:37:38Well, I made a lot of holes, and now I gotta fill it up with this here silver stock.
00:37:42Well, aren't you gonna pull any?
00:37:45Well, uh...
00:37:45Oh, go on.
00:37:48Well, it's your mouth.
00:38:07Well, Dr. Favre, it's been quite an afternoon.
00:38:11I can truly say I've never enjoyed myself so much.
00:38:15I'll recommend you to all my friends.
00:38:17Thank you. Bye.
00:38:19Bye now.
00:38:29Eat me.
00:38:31Oh, take it easy, Dracula.
00:38:32What do you think I'm carrying here, my dirty laundry?
00:38:41I'm coming, I'm coming already.
00:38:48This should be enough for anybody.
00:38:50Mm, good.
00:38:57Well, goodbye, Dr. Favre.
00:39:00You may have been a crummy dentist, but you were a nice fella.
00:39:03I never meant to kill anybody in my whole life.
00:39:06I've killed two in the last two days.
00:39:09Well, but you asked for it coming after me with that knife and all.
00:39:13Fun voyage, Dr. Favre.
00:39:15You want anything else?
00:39:19Well, see you in the morning.
00:39:41Come in.
00:39:44It's me, Joe.
00:39:45Come on in, Frank.
00:39:47How's the wife, Frank?
00:39:49Not bad, Joe.
00:39:50Glad to hear it.
00:39:51The kids?
00:39:51Lost one yesterday.
00:39:52Lost one, eh?
00:39:53How'd that happen?
00:39:54Playing with matches.
00:39:55Well, those are bricks.
00:39:57Yeah, I guess so.
00:39:58Got a strange one here.
00:40:00Railroad people say they lost one of their best detectives the other night.
00:40:02Oh, yeah?
00:40:03Down by the yards.
00:40:04He's watching the refrigerator cars.
00:40:06Refrigerator cars?
00:40:08Ice thieves.
00:40:09Oh, yeah?
00:40:09What happened?
00:40:10Don't know.
00:40:11Vanished.
00:40:12Blood on tracks.
00:40:13Clues?
00:40:14None.
00:40:15Anything else?
00:40:16Dennis.
00:40:17Farb.
00:40:18Dead?
00:40:18Missing.
00:40:19Clues?
00:40:20Blood in office.
00:40:21Where?
00:40:21Skid Row.
00:40:23Ideas?
00:40:24None.
00:40:25Check it out?
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:29Ha!
00:40:35Now we are on the case.
00:40:37Officer Frank Stooley and me.
00:40:40My name is Fink.
00:40:42Sergeant Joe Fink.
00:40:44I'm a Fink.
00:41:04Good morning, Mr. Mushnik.
00:41:06Oh, boy! Look at that!
00:41:08Hi, everybody.
00:41:11Oh, my gosh.
00:41:13Ain't it something?
00:41:16It's monstrositous.
00:41:17Yeah.
00:41:19And to think that you did it.
00:41:23Gee, Audrey, you don't have to kiss me.
00:41:25Don't you like me to kiss you?
00:41:27Yeah, but you don't like to kiss me.
00:41:30Why shouldn't I?
00:41:32Nobody else ever did.
00:41:34Well, I do like to.
00:41:35You do? You really do? You like to kiss me?
00:41:38Sure I do.
00:41:38Would you like to kiss me?
00:41:40Okay.
00:41:41That plant?
00:41:46Oh, boy, you kiss good, Audrey.
00:41:49Oh, I guess I just have a good kiss, sir.
00:41:51How did it?
00:41:53Would you like to go out on a date with me some night?
00:41:55Oh, sure I would, Seymour. Anytime.
00:41:58Tonight?
00:41:59Okay.
00:42:01Oh, boy.
00:42:02About that plant.
00:42:04We got the list of flowers for the float, for the rose parade.
00:42:08Okay, let's take a look at it.
00:42:14Okay.
00:42:15Hi, what's cooking?
00:42:16Look at my plant.
00:42:17Oh, my, what a large one.
00:42:19Yeah.
00:42:25Hello, Mr. Shiva. What's new?
00:42:27Oh, I got terrible news.
00:42:30My nephew Frankie just lost his little boy.
00:42:33Oh, that's too bad.
00:42:34How did it happen?
00:42:35He was playing with matches.
00:42:37Would you like to play?
00:42:38Would you like to buy maybe some flowers?
00:42:40About 50 cents worth.
00:42:41Well, I'll get them for you.
00:42:42Look at my plant.
00:42:43Oh, I'm looking.
00:42:51Your name Gravis Mushnik?
00:42:52Look, I'm Mushnik.
00:42:53Gravis.
00:42:53That's my name.
00:42:54Just want to ask you a few questions.
00:42:55Questions?
00:42:56Ask me.
00:42:56Just want to ask you a few questions.
00:42:57I didn't do it.
00:42:59Do what?
00:42:59Whatever.
00:43:00Ever see this man?
00:43:01Man, see picture.
00:43:02Why are you so nervous?
00:43:03Got a guilty conscience?
00:43:05No.
00:43:05Why should I?
00:43:06Ever see this man?
00:43:07Man, see the picture.
00:43:09Dr. Farb.
00:43:10So you know him?
00:43:11My dentist.
00:43:13He maybe did something.
00:43:15Disappeared.
00:43:15Blood in his office.
00:43:16The other man too.
00:43:17Blood in the railroad tracks.
00:43:18And few spare parts.
00:43:19Dr. Farb is murdered.
00:43:22Is he?
00:43:23Who knows?
00:43:23Not me.
00:43:25What do you think?
00:43:27He doesn't know anything.
00:43:29Okay, Mushnik.
00:43:30If you hear anything about these men,
00:43:31call our office.
00:43:32Sure, I'll be glad to.
00:43:34Co-operate with the police.
00:43:36Hello, I'm sitting.
00:43:37Oh, isn't it terrible what happened to your boyfriend, Key?
00:43:40Those are the breaks.
00:43:46All right, Seymour.
00:43:47Now you tell me if that plant is finished all grown up.
00:43:51He's finished all growing up?
00:43:53You wouldn't kid your father.
00:43:54My father came home?
00:43:55Me, idiot!
00:43:56It's a finger of speech.
00:43:57Now look.
00:43:58I can't stand anymore that plant.
00:44:00It's growing me out of house and home.
00:44:03Well, it ain't gonna grow anymore.
00:44:05I promise.
00:44:05How can you be so sure?
00:44:07It ate three times already.
00:44:09Who?
00:44:10I mean, what did it eat this time?
00:44:13About a million Japanese beetles.
00:44:16So don't eat no more.
00:44:18It's full.
00:44:19Grab us.
00:44:22There's a lady from some kind of a committance outside.
00:44:25I think it's important.
00:44:27Excellent.
00:44:28By the by.
00:44:30I understand you want to take Audrey out on a date tonight.
00:44:33That's very good with me.
00:44:34Because I am staying to keep an eye on that Meshugan plant.
00:44:42Where are we gonna go tonight, Seymour?
00:44:45Oh, I just remembered.
00:44:46I don't have any money.
00:44:48Well, that's okay.
00:44:49We could take a walk along the ocean or something.
00:44:53I got a great idea.
00:44:54We can eat dinner at my house.
00:44:55My mom's a great cook.
00:44:57Well, that's swell.
00:44:58Oh, boy.
00:44:58I'll call her later and tell her.
00:45:00Okay.
00:45:05Oh, that's remarkable.
00:45:08You like?
00:45:09Oh, I neither like nor dislike anything, my goodness.
00:45:14I happen to represent the Society of Silent Flower Observers of Southern California.
00:45:21How about that?
00:45:22Tell me, who created this magnificent blue?
00:45:28I did.
00:45:29Me.
00:45:30And what might your name be?
00:45:33Seymour Krellboind with a K.
00:45:35Krellboind.
00:45:36Krellboind.
00:45:38Krellboind.
00:45:38I can.
00:45:40This?
00:45:41Well, tell me, Mr. Krellboind.
00:45:44Is this a freak or can more be raised from the seas?
00:45:47We should live so long.
00:45:48Well, I don't think they're gonna be any more, Miss, uh...
00:45:51Fishtwanger.
00:45:52Mrs. Hortense Fishtwanger.
00:45:54I think this is gonna be the only one, Mrs. Fishtwanger.
00:45:58Fishtwanger.
00:45:59Fishtwanger.
00:46:00Fishtwanger.
00:46:01Well, it's probably indigestible, anyway.
00:46:05At any rate, I have the honor...
00:46:08to tell you, Seymour Krellboind,
00:46:10that you have been selected to receive the annual trophy
00:46:14of the Society of Silent Flower Observers of Southern California.
00:46:18A trophy?
00:46:19Me?
00:46:19Such is justice.
00:46:22Tell me, when do you suppose those large buds will open?
00:46:26Well, according to what the book says about the plants that I crossed,
00:46:29they should open day after tomorrow at sunset.
00:46:32Ah, very well.
00:46:33Then I shall return at that time to present the trophy.
00:46:35Good day.
00:46:44Remarkable.
00:46:49Oh, boy, I'm gonna get a trophy.
00:46:51Oh, Seymour, I'm so proud of you.
00:46:53Oh, a real trophy!
00:46:55For Audrey Junior!
00:46:56We can put it on the float!
00:46:57In the cross parade!
00:46:58Oh, boy!
00:47:03Don't look at me.
00:47:04I'm a terrible sight.
00:47:05I'm a complete sea hag.
00:47:07She always says that.
00:47:08Oh, well, it's true.
00:47:09I haven't been feeling very well lately.
00:47:12Audrey, this is my ma, Winifred Krellboind.
00:47:14Ma, this is Audrey Fulcourt.
00:47:16She's my girl.
00:47:17Hi, Audrey.
00:47:18Are you hungry?
00:47:18I sure am.
00:47:19I could eat a hearse.
00:47:21Oh!
00:47:21Well, sit right down, and I'll go get the first course.
00:47:27Sit here, Audrey.
00:47:30You want me to take your sweater?
00:47:32Yes.
00:47:41Never mind that.
00:47:42Well, now, try this.
00:47:50It tastes like cough syrup.
00:47:52Dr. Flemm's cough syrup.
00:47:55A toast?
00:47:57To Audrey Junior.
00:47:58No, to Audrey Senior.
00:48:23You.
00:48:24You.
00:48:25Glutton.
00:48:26Tonight, I keep an eye on you.
00:48:28I don't let nobody get near you.
00:48:40Here comes the soup.
00:48:43Now, don't touch it till I get the flavoring.
00:48:47Gee, Audrey.
00:48:48You sure look good by candlelight.
00:48:50Oh, do I really see more?
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:53Here you are.
00:48:56I'll try it.
00:48:58It sure smells different.
00:49:00It's different.
00:49:02Some kind of oil, isn't it?
00:49:04God, liver oil.
00:49:06It's wonderful for the colon.
00:49:07And that's sulfur powder on the top.
00:49:21Feed me.
00:49:23Feed me.
00:49:27I'm hungry.
00:49:37Open it, yes.
00:49:38Feed me.
00:49:43I didn't hear it.
00:49:44Feed me.
00:49:45I ate it.
00:49:47I want food.
00:49:51The talking plant we got.
00:49:53I'm hungry.
00:49:55No.
00:49:57Hungry.
00:49:58And other fine cattle from fish.
00:50:01Who would you like to have tonight?
00:50:04You look fat enough.
00:50:07We not only got a talking plant,
00:50:09we got one that makes with smart cracks.
00:50:12Will you listen to me, you botanical bum?
00:50:15Food you wouldn't get.
00:50:17Not from Gravis Mushnik.
00:50:19I'm starved.
00:50:21Excellent.
00:50:22You would unpopulate the old skid row.
00:50:25Well, you can forget about it.
00:50:28You wouldn't get fed from Gravis Mushnik tonight.
00:50:32Good night.
00:50:34You'll get yours.
00:50:43I kind of like this chalmaine.
00:50:45If it tastes a little bitter, it's because it's made of Chinese herbs and it's flavored with acromyacin and epsom
00:50:52salts.
00:50:52There ain't another cook in the whole world like my ma.
00:50:55That's what your old man said before the louse ran out on me.
00:50:58You know, if you're gonna be married, you gotta be a good cook.
00:51:01Well, maybe you could teach me.
00:51:03You thinkin' of gettin' married?
00:51:05Well, he hasn't asked me yet.
00:51:07Who hasn't?
00:51:08Seymour.
00:51:09Seymour's too young to get married.
00:51:11Look here.
00:51:12A boy's gotta go out and play around a little bit.
00:51:14Go out on the make and have a ball.
00:51:17Gee, Ma, I don't wanna have a ball.
00:51:19I wanna be with Audrey.
00:51:20Now, look, Seymour.
00:51:22You promised you wouldn't get married until you bought me an iron log.
00:51:26You've been breathin' for years, Ma.
00:51:28Well, it ain't easy.
00:51:29It ain't easy, son.
00:51:31Come on.
00:51:52Is nobody here?
00:51:55Blackhast, 13th John, Friday the 13th is stupid superstitious.
00:52:03Come on.
00:52:04All right, you.
00:52:04Come out of there.
00:52:06Don't shoot, mister.
00:52:08I'm old and sick.
00:52:09I wouldn't eat even a fly.
00:52:12Come out in the light where I can see you.
00:52:15Come on.
00:52:16Please, don't shoot.
00:52:17Please.
00:52:18Please, I'm only Gravis Muschnik.
00:52:20You wouldn't want to kill me.
00:52:21Where would you hide the body?
00:52:22Don't worry, I'm not gonna shoot you.
00:52:25Not unless you try something.
00:52:26Try something?
00:52:27I never tried anything in my life.
00:52:28I wouldn't try anything now.
00:52:30You want my money?
00:52:30Take it.
00:52:31You want I should go out and steal you some more?
00:52:33That's all right, too.
00:52:34I'll do it.
00:52:34Thank you very much.
00:52:37I like your brand of hospitality.
00:52:40You'll excuse it, isn't more.
00:52:41I'm only a poor florist.
00:52:43Yeah, yeah.
00:52:45We got about 30 bucks here.
00:52:47Come on, now.
00:52:48Where's the rest of it?
00:52:48I was in here this afternoon.
00:52:50I saw about 30,000 people in here.
00:52:52They must have spent some money.
00:52:53Where is it?
00:52:53There ain't no more money.
00:52:54They came in to look on the plant.
00:52:56It's a big attraction.
00:52:56Audrey Junior.
00:52:58The plant.
00:52:58Don't try to snow me, Jim.
00:52:5930,000 squares didn't come in here just to look for a plant.
00:53:01I want it.
00:53:03I don't got no more money.
00:53:05Honest.
00:53:05Believe me.
00:53:06Okay, let's try this.
00:53:07One.
00:53:08Two.
00:53:09Three.
00:53:10Four.
00:53:11I ain't got no more money.
00:53:12Honest.
00:53:13All right.
00:53:13Try it the other way around.
00:53:14Five.
00:53:15Four.
00:53:16Three.
00:53:17Two.
00:53:18All right.
00:53:18All right.
00:53:19I'm ready.
00:53:20Okay, Big Dad.
00:53:21Where?
00:53:23In the plant.
00:53:25In the plant.
00:53:27In the plant.
00:53:27The big plant.
00:53:27Audrey Junior.
00:53:32Inside the big leaf.
00:53:34That's right.
00:53:35Inside.
00:53:37How do you get it open?
00:53:40Just knock.
00:53:57In there.
00:53:58In there.
00:54:00Inside.
00:54:01In the bottom.
00:54:03I don't see anything.
00:54:05Way inside.
00:54:07Right in the bottom.
00:54:16to a party.
00:54:22No one can't wait.
00:54:28What I did.
00:54:33I don't care what you got at the date with Audrey tonight.
00:54:36I am no more sitting up with that no-good-neak plant.
00:54:42But gee, Mr. Mushnick, you don't have to sit up with it anymore.
00:54:45It's all grown up now.
00:54:46Excellent, smart guy.
00:54:47How do you know it don't be hungry no more?
00:54:49Well, because...
00:54:50Tonight you are staying.
00:54:52Then tomorrow they're coming and they're going to give you a trophy
00:54:54and then after that we are getting rid once and for all for that plant.
00:54:58Getting rid of it? Why?
00:55:00Don't ask why, why.
00:55:02The end, into the garbage can.
00:55:04Aloha.
00:55:05Oh, yes, Mrs. Shiva.
00:55:07Oh, Seymour, you're a wonderful plant.
00:55:10Oh, that's all right, Audrey.
00:55:12I'll grow other plants, even more wonderful ones.
00:55:14I know you will.
00:55:16Did you figure out what we're doing tonight?
00:55:19Yeah, we're going to a place full of beautiful flowers.
00:55:22We have to stay here.
00:55:24Yeah.
00:55:25Well, never mind.
00:55:25We'll have a picnic.
00:55:27It'll be just like going to the country.
00:55:29Oh, boy.
00:55:29Did you get the 3,000 pink azaleas for the arbor and the 9,000 yellow mons for the border?
00:55:35Yeah.
00:55:35And the roses for the front and the back?
00:55:37No, around the back.
00:55:39What do you mean you're going to a picnic at night with that folk ward girl?
00:55:43Don't you like Audrey, Ma?
00:55:45She's out after your money.
00:55:46I don't have any money.
00:55:48Oh, she's a smart one.
00:55:50She'll latch on to you until you get some and then goodbye fortune.
00:55:54But Audrey's an honest girl, Ma.
00:55:56Yeah, never trust a woman who's too healthy.
00:55:59But Audrey had a bad cold a couple of weeks ago.
00:56:02Oh, a cold.
00:56:03A puny cold.
00:56:04Why don't you get yourself a real female with something decent like monouniucleosis or gallstones?
00:56:11Well, maybe she could catch something like that.
00:56:12The only thing she'll catch is you.
00:56:15And she'll take you off to some shady sanitarium and leave me to chiropractors and faith healers.
00:56:22I know when I'm not wanted.
00:56:24Oh, gee, Ma.
00:56:27Don't feel sorry for me.
00:56:29I'll just find a nice wet alley somewhere and curl up and wait for the end.
00:56:34Oh, please don't die till I get back, will you, Ma?
00:56:37I'll take care of you.
00:56:38I'll always take care of you.
00:56:39I promise.
00:56:40Yeah.
00:56:40Bye.
00:56:47Gee, Audrey, I never tasted food like this before.
00:56:50It's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
00:56:52Peanut butter and jelly?
00:56:53What does that cure?
00:56:55Nothing.
00:56:55It's just a food.
00:56:57Well, what good is it if it doesn't clear up pimples or shrink your sinus tissues or something?
00:57:01You're just being silly, Seymour.
00:57:04Seymour, what do you want to be?
00:57:07Well, I want to grow things.
00:57:09If I had a lot of money, I'd go to the South Seas where they grow the most fabulous plants
00:57:13in the world.
00:57:14Well, that sounds exciting.
00:57:16Yeah.
00:57:17I'd like to go to the South Seas, too.
00:57:19There's no reason why you couldn't go.
00:57:22Would you take me with you, Seymour?
00:57:24Oh, I couldn't very well go without you, Audrey.
00:57:27Why not?
00:57:28Well, because I'm in love with you, Audrey.
00:57:31Oh, I'm in love with you, too, Seymour.
00:57:34Feed me.
00:57:36What did you say?
00:57:38I was just kidding.
00:57:40I'm hungry.
00:57:42Seymour.
00:57:43I didn't mean it.
00:57:44Why did you say it?
00:57:46Oh, food.
00:57:49You didn't even say that.
00:57:50Oh, yes, I did.
00:57:51I said it.
00:57:52I said it.
00:57:52Oh, I'm looking right at you.
00:57:54I'm a ventriloquist.
00:57:56You're what?
00:57:57A ventrilo...
00:57:58Feed me.
00:58:00Seymour, do you feel all right?
00:58:01Well, I don't know.
00:58:03I'm not sure.
00:58:04Well, then stop all this nonsense and kiss me.
00:58:08I'm dying from hunger.
00:58:10Oh, right.
00:58:11If you're so hungry, eat something.
00:58:12But forget about me.
00:58:14Gee, I'm sorry, Audrey.
00:58:15Give me to eat.
00:58:17If you can't control yourself, I'm going home.
00:58:19I need some chow.
00:58:21Oh.
00:58:24That empty stomach.
00:58:27Audrey, please wait.
00:58:29Listen to me.
00:58:30I've listened to all the nonsense.
00:58:31I want to hear, Seymour.
00:58:33You're a nut.
00:58:34You tell me that you love me, and then you act like a complete idiot.
00:58:38Please listen, Audrey.
00:58:39I'll be able to explain everything soon.
00:58:41Well, why can't you explain now?
00:58:44Because so many things are so important.
00:58:46I want to marry you, but I've got to take care of Mom.
00:58:50Well, that plant in there is going to make it all come true.
00:58:53Tomorrow, they're going to give me a trophy, and I'll be famous.
00:58:56I'll be a big botanist.
00:58:58And then we can go to the South Seas, just like we planned and all.
00:59:01But that doesn't have anything to do with what went on in there.
00:59:04When you're ready to come to your senses, Seymour, then I'll talk to you.
00:59:09Good night, Seymour.
00:59:21I'm getting pretty tired of you.
00:59:23I need food.
00:59:25I don't care what you need.
00:59:27Look what you've done to me.
00:59:28You not only made a butcher out of me, but you drove my girl away.
00:59:31Shut up and bring on the food.
00:59:34Don't tell me to shut up.
00:59:35You shut up.
00:59:36Who raised you from a bunch of little seeds?
00:59:38Who fed you all them high-class fertilizers and sat up all night with you when you were sick?
00:59:42Nobody else would have done that for you.
00:59:44Do you think anybody else would have brought you human beings to eat?
00:59:48You're darn right they wouldn't.
00:59:49Well, I've helped you and you've helped me.
00:59:52Now, shut your trap and go to sleep.
00:59:54I'm tired.
00:59:55Crowboy!
00:59:56Turn around!
01:00:00Close your eyes.
01:00:03You are asleep.
01:00:06Open your eyes.
01:00:08Now you will do as I say.
01:00:11Do you follow me?
01:00:12Yes, master.
01:00:13You will go out and find me some food.
01:00:18Yes, master.
01:00:20Now be gone and waste no time.
01:00:43Idiot!
01:00:45Idiot!
01:01:12Idiot!
01:01:25My name is Leonora Clyde.
01:01:28How's the rain on the rhubarb?
01:01:31Master is hungry.
01:01:42Well, hello there.
01:02:14I've got to find food for Master.
01:02:17Food I've got to find for Master.
01:02:20For Master, I've got to find food.
01:02:24Maybe I can help.
01:02:26Who are you?
01:02:27My name is Leonora Clyde.
01:02:29I love you.
01:02:32Master wants food.
01:02:34Let the old goat wait.
01:02:36The night is young, and so are we.
01:02:38Master doesn't eat goat.
01:02:44Well, what kind of food does he like?
01:02:50Ooh, that's more like it.
01:02:53Kiss me.
01:02:58What's the matter? Don't you like me?
01:03:00Too bony.
01:03:02Too bony?
01:03:03Nobody ever told me that before.
01:03:05Beef is better than veal.
01:03:08You're such a dodo.
01:03:09What do you call this? Chopped liver?
01:03:16Master would like more fat.
01:03:19Speak for yourself, John.
01:03:22My name is Seymour.
01:03:24My name is Seymour.
01:03:26That's my name, too.
01:03:28Are you interested? Are you just wasting my time?
01:03:32I never thought anybody would volunteer.
01:03:34Do you volunteer?
01:03:35Sure, I do.
01:03:37All right, if you're sure you want to volunteer.
01:03:41All right, my place or yours?
01:03:43I don't care.
01:03:44Well, flip a coin.
01:03:46I don't have a coin.
01:03:48Flip anything, silly.
01:03:51Well, there's a rock.
01:03:54Wet or dry?
01:03:56Wet.
01:04:15The search was narrowing.
01:04:16And we knew that soon we would have the killer.
01:04:19Not that we had any more clues than before.
01:04:21But we had to tell the chief something.
01:04:23I had that feeling in my bones that the mystery was drawing to its climax.
01:04:26And I was determined to be on hand.
01:04:29All right, out, out, out.
01:04:30Nobody is in.
01:04:31Today we have a special occasion for Seymour Krellboyne,
01:04:34which has invented the big plan.
01:04:36So I want everybody should please stay out of the way.
01:04:38We want Seymour!
01:04:40We want Seymour!
01:04:42We want Seymour!
01:04:43Seymour!
01:04:44Oh!
01:04:45Oh!
01:04:49I tell you, this business is worse than being a conductor in a revoluting door.
01:04:53I'll be glad when this day is finished.
01:04:55What's the celebration?
01:04:57They're presenting my son with a trophy.
01:04:59Yeah?
01:05:00What do you do?
01:05:00Run away from home?
01:05:01Please don't look at me that way, Audrey.
01:05:03I want to talk to you.
01:05:05I'm sorry, Seymour.
01:05:06I just don't understand you.
01:05:08I'll explain everything after the ceremony.
01:05:10You!
01:05:11Police!
01:05:11What are you doing here?
01:05:12I heard there was something going on here this evening.
01:05:14Just thought we'd come by and keep an eye on things.
01:05:16Look, we don't need no eyes kept on noting everything.
01:05:18The Society of Silent Flower Observers has arrived,
01:05:21and sunset is almost upon us.
01:05:24Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
01:05:26We are honored for to have you.
01:05:29Still working on those disappearances.
01:05:30We think they were murdered.
01:05:32Hey, look here, young man.
01:05:33There's no way to talk at a time like this.
01:05:35Let me see your tongue.
01:05:37Uh-huh.
01:05:38Know what you got?
01:05:39Just the facts, ma'am.
01:05:40Trench mouth.
01:05:41I know.
01:05:41I had it back in 0.09.
01:05:43Better have that looked into, Frank.
01:05:44Whatever you say, Joe.
01:05:46Mr. Krelboy, the sun is going down now, and, uh, you do think those buds are going to open?
01:05:54I hope so.
01:05:55Because if they don't, Mr. Krelboy, we shall just have to present the award at another time.
01:06:01Oh, it's starting to open!
01:06:03Oh, it's starting to open!
01:06:08Oh, look!
01:06:09The first band is open!
01:06:16Isn't that the...
01:06:17The railroad cop.
01:06:18Look at the rest.
01:06:20Oh!
01:06:32What do you think, Frank?
01:06:33They're all there, Joe.
01:06:35Yes, you're right.
01:06:36Mr. Krelboy?
01:06:37How do you explain this?
01:06:38I didn't mean...
01:06:39I didn't mean it!
01:06:40That's right, Officer.
01:06:41He didn't mean to kill them.
01:06:42Timor!
01:06:43Timor!
01:06:43You promised you'd explain!
01:06:46Looks like they're getting away, Joe.
01:06:47Yes, you're right.
01:06:48All right. Let's get you. Right.
01:06:55Oh, now the float will be perfect.
01:06:58Yeah.
01:07:30Mary.
01:07:31I'll catch you.
01:07:37I'll catch you!
01:07:38Come on, Mary!
01:07:40Come now, Mary.
01:07:41Meet with me!
01:07:59I don't know.
01:08:44I don't know.
01:08:48I don't know.
01:09:22I don't know.
01:10:09You wouldn't find him here with the toilets.
01:10:12Let's go back.
01:10:36You dirty rat plant.
01:10:38You messed up my whole life.
01:10:40Feed me!
01:10:43I'll feed you.
01:10:48I'll feed you like you've never been fed before.
01:10:51Go on.
01:10:51Go on.
01:11:13Go on.
01:11:15Go on.
01:11:17Go on.
