It's a Gift Page #2

Synopsis: The owner of a general store (Harold Bisonette) is hounded by his status-anxious wife ("That's 'Bee-soh-nay'" and "I have no maid you know"). To get some sleep he goes out on the porch where he is tormented by a little boy from the floor above (Baby Dunk) and an insurance salesman down below ("LaFong. Capital L, small a..."). He uses an inheritance to buy an orange ranch through the mail, then drives off with his family for California. The orange grove consists of a withered tree, the ranch house is but a shack, and the car falls to pieces. But a racetrack operator wants the land, so all ends happily.

every time

I open my mouth.

I've got a piece of chalk.

Do you wanna play hopscotch?

Go 'way, go 'way, go 'way,

go 'way, go 'way.

Good morning, Mr.

Fitchmueller. Good morning.

I want 10 pounds of kumquats,

and I'm in a hurry! Yes, yes, yes.

L- I-I'll be right with you. I have

to... Come on, come on, come on, come on.

The door was open.

I know now it was open.

Don't talk to people with a toothpick

in your mouth. It's impolite. Come here.

Hurry up.

Get this coat off.

What are you doin'?

Put that hat up.

Go out and sweep the store.

Hurry up. Sweep the store. Yes, sir.

"Typical California orange grove. "

- How about my kumquats?

- Coming, coming.

I'm in a hurry.

Coming, coming, coming.

Coming, coming, coming.

Coming, coming, coming.

Now, what was that you wanted? Kumquats!

Oh, kumquats, yes.

Ten pounds of kumquats.

Open the door for Mr. Muckle! What?

- Open the door for Mr. Muckle, the blind man!

- How about my kumquats?

What'd ya say?

Kumquats!

Wait!

Merciful heavens.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

It's all right. All right.

All right. You got that

door closed again, huh?

I'm awfully sorry. I'm awfully

sorry. Come on. What's that?

Don't do that!

Look out!

What's that?

What's that?

It's all right. Think nothing

of it. Just a little glassware.

What?

Just a little glassware.

What's the matter with you? Can't

you talk? Here's your pipe here.

Here. Here you are,

right here. Yes. Come on.

What'd you say? I said it was

nothing but just a little glassware.

What've you got it there for?

Come on. It's all right.

Put it in there.

Whew!

Now, uh, what can I do...

What can I do for you? Have

you got any chewing gum?

Uh... yes, we have... Um...

yes, we have. Yes, we have.

How about my kumquats?

- Coming, coming, coming.

Now, you just sit... Now, you sit right here

till I come back. I'll bring it right back to you.

Sit right there.

Please sit there

till I come back.

I'll have those kumquats

in a minute.

I wonder what kind of gum

he wants. I guess that...

Sit down, Mr. Muckle!

Sit down, sit down.

Sit down, Mr. Muckle.

Sit down.

Won't be a second, now. Sit

down. Sit down, Mr. Muckle, honey.

Sit down. Oh, that's broke.

I'll have to get it fixed.

I'll be right with you.

Don't go away.

Here we are. Sit down, Mr.

Muckle. Sit down, honey.

Wait a second.

Kumquats!

Coming. Now, you'll get the

"komkuts... " the kumquats.

Whew!

Will you... Would you mind telling Mr.

Muckle... Never mind. I'll tell him.

Sit down, Mr. Muckle,

please, dear!

I'm being polite with him.

Sit down.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

Put it down, Mr. Muckle.

Put it down, honey.

Put it down, please. Mr...
