Little Giant Page #4

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.

I was going to suggest a little

raise for you. Let's say $20 a month.

Well, thank you, sir. Say nothing

about it, old boy. It's a...

Oh, excuse me.

I'm sorry. I...

Come in.

I've been expecting you.

Good afternoon, Miss

Temple. Good afternoon.

I'd like to get your reaction of Miss

Temple's idea of our new advertising campaign.

Do you mind? I'd love it. Of

course this is a rough layout.

With the right model and

the right photographer...

I like it! It's different. Thank you.

What do you think, Mr. Goodring?

I agree with Mr. Morrison.

He would.

I just gave him a raise.

I'll go back

to my office.

Are you expecting anybody else? No, dear.

Oh, darling!

Oh, did I hate you when that

alarm clock went off this morning.

Don't blame me. It was your

birthday. And our anniversary.

Married two whole months! Shh!

Never mention that around here.

Walls have ears.

Sorry.

I keep forgetting I'm

your secret bride. Shh.

Benny, there's nothing I wouldn't

do to help you and your mother.

That's what Mama says. Mama says you'll

be very glad to help me get a job here.

Ah, the trouble is,

I can't.

I don't see why not.

I'm a graduate salesman.

I'm a B.S.

Yes, I know, Benny. But there's

a strict rule in the office...

against hiring relatives

of anyone who works here.

Oh.

No relatives, huh?

Mr. Morrison made that rule

last year.

And nobody breaks any rules of Mr.

Morrison's, that is, not over once.

Good-bye,

Uncle Clarence.

Mr. Miller?

Mr. Miller?

Benny!

Close the door.

I'm taking a chance. After all, Anna's

my only sister. I'm her only boy.

And I'm writing a letter of

introduction to Mr. Morrison.

But, remember, don't tell him

that you're my nephew.

Who will I tell him I am? Just say that

you're a Benny Miller from Cucamonga.

But I am Benny Miller from

Cucamonga. I know you are!

Just a moment, please.

That model's here, sir.

Ask that young man to wait.

Yes, sir.

Thanks. I'll be back in a minute

as soon as I get a glass of water.

I drink four quarts of

water every day. Really?

Yeah. I used to drink five,

but now I don't get up so early.

I want to see Mr. Morrison. Come in

and have a seat. I'll be right back.

Send that young man in.

Come in, come in. Close

the door. Thank you.

I got a letter from my un... I mean,

I got a letter. It's about a job.

Yes, I understand. Take your coat

off, please. Take my coat off?

Mm-hmm.

Yes, sir.

Now, um...

And your shirt.

Take my shirt off?

Take your shirt off.

Why? I want to see your muscles.

Oh, you wanna see my muscles? That's right.

Talking about my muscles, I have

the biggest muscles in Cucamonga.

You know how I got 'em? I got those

big muscles from helping my mama.
