No, you don't. Come on.

There you are, gentlemen.

I hope you'll be comfortable.

You've got nothing

to worry about.

You've got the law in

the house now. Thank you.

L5 just to sleep here.

Not bad, Tubby?

Yes. If we're alive in the

morning and able to spend it.

Now look, you can't make

two persons out of one.

If there's a monster,

there's a monster.

If there's a Dr. Jekyll,

there's a Dr. Jekyll.

But one can't be the other.

Now listen, Slim. All I know is

that I locked up the monster...

and when I came back,

Dr. Jekyll was there.

You know, I'm no magician.

You're having hallucinations.

I'm having what?

You're having hallucinations.

I don't know what I'm having,

but I'm gonna tell you this...

either Dr. Jekyll is the monster,

or the monster is Dr. Jekyll.

Hey, you've got

something there, you...

Stop it.

That's the same thing.

I put them in the bedroom

on the second floor.

The fat one saw me.

He saw my ring, too.

You hold it for me.

Perhaps he should

never leave here.

Don't be so impatient, Batley.

He might be interesting

to experiment on.

Now, that newspaperman. I

must find out where he lives.

Good night, Batley.

Keep your eyes open.

Phew!

Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll.

What a cute

little Easter bunny.

Snapped at me.

Now, you stay away from me.

But what seems

to be the matter?

There's someone in this house that

shouldn't be here, and it's me.

What?

Where are you going?

Where am I going?

Go ahead and ask him.

Ask him why he needs you and I

to be a bodyguard for him.

He's got a bodyguard downstairs

who'd like to tear me apart.

Where did this take place?

Where did it take place? Right

behind there. That's a bookcase.

That's a bookcase,

and behind the bookcase...

he's got a laboratory with all kinds

of funny animals down there and things.

Go on, ask him. He won't

tell you, but ask him.

Why shouldn't I? I've a

complete laboratory here.

Of course, I've tried to keep

it hidden from prying eyes.

The research I'm doing

is highly secret.

I'll be glad to show it to

you, if you care to see it.

I've already seen it. The doctor

won't let any harm come to you.

Okay, but I'm not gonna

turn my back on him.

Come on, follow me.

This way, gentlemen.

You gentlemen should feel

highly complimented.

You're the first to see

the inside of my laboratory.

For 15 years, I've been

experimenting with strange drugs.

Drugs that someday

will be of service to mankind.

That rabbit snapped at me.

A rabbit snapped at you?

What your friend says

is quite right.

I've been able to transfer the

characteristics of this dog...

into the brain of that rabbit.

Now this monkey here...
