I got him in a cage.

I got him.

Hey, Slim, I got him.

Say, Inspector,

I caught the monster.

I caught him. Hey, Slim.

What?

I caught the monster.

I don't believe it.

Come on, I'll show him to you.

Come on, Inspector, I'll show you.

Come on, I want to

show you the monster.

Dr. Jekyll!

Dr. Jekyll?

Dr. Jekyll! What'd you

do? Leave the monster out?

How did this happen?

I was passing the museum

on my way home.

The door was open, I heard a noise,

so I just came in to investigate...

and this moron pushed me

into this cage.

I saw...

You saw one of our most

respected citizens...

and you deliberately

pushed him into a cage.

No, Inspector.

Look, he's the monster.

Let him show you the ring.

Tell him to show you the ring.

Go ahead. Let's see the

ring. I wear no rings.

You wish to prefer charges? No,

that's not necessary, Inspector.

I think he suffers

from hallucinations.

Perhaps he and I should

have a little talk someday.

I might be able to help him.

Dr. Jekyll, I thought

I had a pretty good story...

but since your name is

involved, I'll just forget it.

Thank you.

Good night, sir.

Good night, Inspector.

Can I drop you off

at your home, Doctor?

Thank you, no, Inspector.

I'm going to walk.

You're the one that ought to be

behind the bars, not Dr. Jekyll.

Good night.

Good night.

Monsters! Rings!

Good night!

One moment, please.

Gentlemen, I'm a very nervous

man, and all these stories...

in the newspaper about a

monster running around town...

have disturbed me greatly.

Not me. I'd like to get

my hands on that monster.

You would?

Sure.

You're a very brave man.

I must confess, if I came face

to face with the monster...

I don't know

what would happen.

I wonder if you'd be kind enough

to walk with me as far as my house?

Sure.

I'd be very much obliged.

Come on, Tubby.

No.

Come on. It's not every day

you get a chance to walk home...

with a great man

like Mr. Jekyll.

No. You...

As for you, you dummy,

good night.

I can't tell how much I appreciate

your coming with me, gentlemen.

I understand

from the Inspector...

you were both members

of the police force.

How true.

But after what's happened, I

don't think we'll ever get back on.

Well, I think perhaps...

I can make the Inspector

listen to reason.

In the meantime, I'd feel much

safer if you'd stay here tonight.

I'd gladly pay you

for your time. Say L5?

L5? I should say we will.

Won't we...

Tubby, don't get nosy.

We'll stay. Where do we sleep?

This way, gentlemen. I'll show you.

Tubby!

Come on,

we're gonna make L5.

Hey, Slim.

Yeah?

I gotta go home.

I forgot something.

What did you forget?

I forgot to stay there.
