and do your gardening for you.

I don't know if I can do

anything else.

I was kinda hoping that, later,

I could help you out in the lab, but-

Well, that's daydreaming,

I guess, huh?

Without dreams, men would be

pretty lost in this world.

You can stay here

as long as you care to.

Thanks, Doc.

How much longer

we have to watch him?

What are you kickin' about?

You're sittin' in the sun,

aren't ya?

Last month, you were

poundin' the pavement.

Hey, good lookin'.

[ Man In Car ]

Some friends to see you.

Hey.

Hey! Blake's getting away.

What's this all about?

Are you kiddin', Steve?

Steve?

My name's James Blake.

Well, what do you know?

You grabbed the wrong guy.

[ Laughing ]

We also picked up a tail, in

case you guys are interested.

Look, this is no time

to back the car in.

The law's behind us.

Come on, step on it!

Hey, enough's enough.

What's this all about?

We'll tell ya.

Steve!

Well, somebody's gonna be

awfully embarrassed.

You haven't changed,

Steve.

I don't know who you guys think I am, but

it's a cinch you got your wires crossed.

Steve, is this a gag?

You know something,

I think he's playin' it straight.

Yeah. Tried to be

funny in the car.

Had me in stitches.

A real comic talent.

Look, why don't you call

Dr. Marston at the clinic?

He'll tell you who I am.

Steve, are you joking?

It's Peg.

For you two, isn't this a

little late for introductions?

Ah, maybe he's off his rocker.

Yeah, he's a nut.

A rich nut.

He can't remember anything,

but he will.

When I get through with him, he'll

be able to count from one to 130,000.

We had to take the silent treatment

from you when you were in stir,

but you're not in stir now.

So start remembering

your old friends...

and tell us where

you hid that dough.

Steve, we all took

the same chances, right?

I ask you, isn't it fair

we all have the same cut?

What cut?

What chances?

I never saw you guys

before in my life.

Get outta my way!

No! Lefty! Beat it! Buy

yourself a mink coat.

Grab his arms.

Okay. Come on, Arnie.

Come on, Steve. Don't

make it tough on yourself.

Just tell us where the money is,

and we'll all be friends again.

#[ Continues ]

There never was a time

I couldn't have taken you apart.

You fancied it up with talk.

Well, for a year now,

I've been doin' the talkin'.

And it's worked out

pretty good.

[ Man On Radio ] And now for your

afternoon edition of the news.

Police authorities are investigating

the disappearance of Steven Rawley,

now going under the alias

of James Blake.

Transferred from state prison to the Marston
