but I gave you more time.

I held the presses so you could get

your scoop on Nazis hiding in Argentina.

Then I see "this!"

"Item:
"KNOW" magazine's

star journalist, Catcher Block...

"ladies' man, man's man,

man about town,

"Was seen leaving the Copa

last night with a doggie bag...

and three girls

from the floor show. "

I took the Bossa Nova

triplets to Cocoa Beach.

NASA was throwing a luau.

Well, I hope you enjoyed it...

because unless you found Nazis

hiding at your luau, you're fired!

There were Nazis hiding at your luau!

I knew you'd do it!

What do you got for me, Catch?

What do you got?

Argentina isn't the only hiding place for

Nazis. They're hiding them in Florida too.

Wow! How?

Who's hiding them?

- "We are. "

- We Americans?

Why? Nazis are bad.

We're good.

Yeah, but some bad Nazis

are good scientists.

The guy building the rocket that'll land on

the moon first and win us the space race?

He's a Nazi, and I saw

the top-secret file to prove it.

Here. I brought you a souvenir.

Whoa!

A top-secret NASA

security clearance badge!

- How did you get this?

- Blame it on the bossa nova.

The triplets?

Yeah.

You see, Lola shakes

her maracas...

and Rosa bounces her bongos...

while Nina is all hands...

120 words a minute.

The story? It's written?

Whoa! Catch!

But is it safe to print?

NASA's gonna blow its stack.

Well, they forgave Germany.

They can forgive us.

Get someone from Legal up here.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir!

My analyst says I only react to you

with such vehement loathing...

because I admire you so much.

He says I resent you

for being a self-made man...

as opposed to the son

of a self-made man.

Here. Hope you have your garters

from last night. There's none in here.

Garters? I haven't worn garters

since Nixon conceded.

What, are you turning into

some sort of beatnik?

Step into the future.

Garters are a thing of the past.

I don't know, Catch.

I have enough

of an insecurity complex...

without worrying about

my socks falling down.

How can you be confident you won't show

a shiny shin when you cross your legs?

It's a miracle of the space age.

Silk manufacturers are using new wonder

fibers like Lycra, Orlon and Dacron...

to put super stay-up power

into their over-the-calf sock.

What would you say is

the average length for most men?

How would I know?

You think I spend all my time in the locker

room at the club making a comparative study?

Let me see yours again, then.

We could measure.

I'll get a ruler.

Better make it a yardstick.

Let's be accurate. Make sure

you've got it fully extended.

Have it up the whole way.

It stays up all the way
