Little Giant Page #3

Synopsis: Lou Costello plays a country bumpkin vacuum-cleaner salesman, working for the company run by the crooked Bud Abbott. To try to keep him under his thumb, Abbott convinces Costello that he's a crackerjack salesman. This comedy is somewhat like "The Time of Their Lives," in that Abbott and Costello don't have much screen time together and there are very few vaudeville bits woven into the plot.
Genre: Comedy

Resume your seat, please,

and listen carefully.

Now that the door of success

is open to you, walk through it.

Don't waste your knowledge and ability

in a small place. Go at once to the city!

I'll go to Pomona.

A big city!

All right, San Diego. The

biggest city in the state.

Los Angeles? Yes, the

biggest city in the state.

Okay, Los Angeles. And go now... today!

That does it. You heard what the

man said. I gotta go now... today!

But, Benny?

Benny?

Mom, I'm going up and pack a

clean shirt. You heard the man.

I gotta get to Los Angeles. But

Los Angeles is such a big city.

What are you gonna do there?

Get a job as a salesman.

Listen, son, you can't just walk

into a big city like that...

and expect to get a job right

away. Uncle Clarence did.

That was 20 years ago, and he's been

with the same company ever since.

Don't you think he could get

Benny a job? Put in a good word?

Martha, that's a grand

thought! That's great.

I was gonna think of that myself.

Thank heavens that's settled.

Clarence will be delighted to have

his favorite nephew working with him.

Gee, ain't that great?

Who would've thought that Uncle

Clarence would have ever come in handy?

Well, Martha, the time

has come to say good-bye.

Bye, Benny. You are

coming back, aren't you?

I mean, someday when

you're a big success.

I'm only going on account

of you. You mean that, Benny?

I'm gonna go so I can come back with

a lot of money and lay it at your feet.

Oh, Benny!

Gee! What I've been missing

all these years!

This is my lucky day. First I

graduate, and now I'm engaged.

Engaged?

I kissed you, didn't I?

Oh, Benny!

Don't you wanna

see me go?

Bye, Benny, dear.

Bye, Martha.

Going up.

Hercules Company.

Tenth floor.

This is it.

Whitney 7039.

I'm getting your number.

Yes, dear, I think

I can be there.

Just a minute, dear.

Room 1026, right down the hall. Thank you.

I'm ringing them. Yes, dear. Yes, dear.

Excuse me?

Come in.

Thank you.

I'm looking for my Uncle

Clarence. Uncle Clarence?

Yes. Uncle Clarence.

That's the brother to my mother.

My mother's... Oh, could

you mean Mr. Goodring?

Uncle Clarence Goodring. I'm sorry.

He's in Mr. Morrison's office.

That's clearly understood,

I presume? Oh, yes. Quite.

That's fine. Have a cigar.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, and you better have your

girl put this away, Mr. Morrison.

Mr. Goodring, you've been

with this company a long time.

I want you to know the president, Mr. Van

Loan, and myself, appreciate your loyalty.

Thank you, sir.

I've tried to do my best.

It's been difficult at times

keeping two sets of books...

Oh, yes,

I was coming to that.
