Block-Heads Page #2

Synopsis: It's 1938, but Stan doesn't know the war is over; he's still patrolling the trenches in France, and shoots down a French aviator. Oliver sees his old chum's picture in the paper and goes to visit Stan at the Soldier's Home. Thinking Stan is disabled (it's just that he's sitting on his leg), Oliver takes pity on him and takes him home for a nice home-cooked meal. But Oliver's wife has other ideas and leaves him to fend for himself. After blowing up the kitchen, Oliver is helped by his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Gilbert... until the big-game hunting Mr. Gilbert comes home unexpectedly, carrying a shotgun.

It was nice of you to call, Ollie.

I hope you'll come see me again sometime.

I've got to be going.

- Where are you going?

- It's call for mess. I've got to eat.

You're coming home with me

to meet the missus.

- Am I?

- And have a big, thick, juicy steak.

- Thank you, Ollie.

- You're welcome.

I want you to remember -

from now on, my home is your home.

- Thank you, Ollie.

- You're welcome.

And I'm never going to let you

out of my sight again.

- Thank you, Ollie.

- You're welcome.

Just sit back and relax.

I'm sure glad to see you, kid.

Gee, Ollie. This is just like old times.

You and I being together.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

- We sure used to have a lot of fun.

- We sure did.

- You remember how dumb I used to be?

- Yeah.

- I'm better now.

- I'm certainly glad to hear it.

- Will you wait a minute, Ollie?

- Why?

- I want a drink of water.

- You sit right there. I'll get it.

- I only want to get to the faucet.

- How can you get there?

You just sit and relax. I'll be right back.

Hey! Come on, lug. Get outta that chair.

What do you mean insulting my friend?

That's my buddy's chair.

I'll give it to you when I'm ready.

- Is that so?

- Yes, that's so.

Well, are you ready to give it to me?

On second thought, yes.

Don't exert yourself, Stanley. I'll carry you.

Are you comfortable?

Thank you, Stanley.

We haven't got much further to go now.

- Well, here we are.

- Is this your car?

No, it belongs to the missus.

- Sure is a pretty one.

- It's practically new.

Look, you can see yourself in it.

That's... No, I got it. That way.

- Now I'm nearly in.

- All right.

There's one...

Come here!

Why didn't you tell me you had two legs?

You didn't ask me.

- Get in the car!

- I've always had 'em.

You are better now? Hm!

Go and get the guy to move that truck.

Go on.

(Air hisses)

- The guy isn't there.

- Well, move it yourself.

(Engine starts)

(Gears crunch)

(Pneumatic hiss)

Hold it. Steady. Thank you.

You can say that that was

the largest boar ever bagged in India.

Kept me two months extra months away.

- I'll bet there's a story behind it.

- You said it.

He gave me more trouble

than a bunch of elephants.

It's safer to hunt on horseback

but I was on foot when he charged me.

When he got close enough, I fired.

The gun jammed. It was a narrow escape.

But what did you do?

To look at me, you wouldn't believe

that I am very light on my feet.

- I jumped to one side.

- You were in a spot.

But not for long.

If you keep cool, everything is all right

and I was cool - I had a chill in my back.

I took out both of my revolvers

and I let him have 12 shots. Six and six.

He almost made you a widow, Mrs Gilbert.
