So he's got a right to look.
Go on, Fatso.
Hold up the box.
He's the only customer we ever got.
Please, mister,
take a look so we can go home.
All right, go on.
Play.
- What is it?
- We want you to look.
Look at what?
A trained caterpillar.
- A trained caterpillar?
- Sure.
He dances.
Bend down real close and watch.
That's enough.
He got his nickel's worth.
Kid, take it easy.
Now he's stopped dancing.
He stopped when you did.
Sure. That's the way
Pinky trained him.
Beat it, Pinky!
The cops!
Was they bothering you, Mr. Flynn?
Oh, no.
They just had a dancing caterpillar.
Oh. They had a what?
Caterpillar.
Most remarkable thing I've ever seen.
Stood right up and danced.
Mr. Flynn, I've known you for years.
So maybe you've had a few flops,
but you'll get over it.
And before you know it, you'll-
The kid had it... in a box.
A box.
Yeah, I know.
But if you was to go away
to a nice quiet place...
with mountains and trees and streams-
He danced!
Who danced?
- The caterpillar.
- Yeah, I know.
I know a little place upstate.
My brother-in-law went to it.
I'm telling you, he danced.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
But the green trees...
the streams, Mr. Flynn-
A dancing caterpillar.
Doesn't that mean anything to you?
It means you've gotta
go upstate for a rest.
Well, what do you say
let's go and eat?
He danced!
Come on out.
I want to talk to you.
- Cop gone?
- Don't be afraid.
I told him we were friends.
Look, do you mind
if I have another look?
I want to be sure
I've seen what I've seen.
Got another nickel?
Let him have another look
at Curly for free.
Thanks.
What are we givin', a benefit?
Hey, does Curly dance
to any other kind of music?
Nope. Only
"Yes, Sir, That's My Baby. "
- Have you tried any other tunes?
- Oh, yes.
- But he only likes this one.
- Oh, yeah.
Hey, we gotta go home.
It must be gettin' late.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Hey, fellas?
Hey.
Look. You wanna sell Curly?
- How much?
- Wait a minute, Fatso.
I own Curly,
and I don't wanna sell him.
Well- Well, why not?
Well, because I-
Well,just because.
- On account of he's stuck on him.
- Shut up, Fatso.
I just don't wanna sell him,
that's all, not even for a dollar.
Not even for two dollars.
He's my pet.
I tamed him from a pup.
Look, Pinky.
I know exactly how you feel.
Now, let's sit down here
and talk it over man to man.
Now, Pinky...
this caterpillar
may be quite valuable.
By the time I get through with it,
I think we can sell it for a fortune.
He'd die without me.
He'd die without you?
I'll never sell Curly.
Well, that isn't what I meant.
Now, look, what do you say
