Block-Heads Page #3

Synopsis: It's 1938, but Stan doesn't know the war is over; he's still patrolling the trenches in France, and shoots down a French aviator. Oliver sees his old chum's picture in the paper and goes to visit Stan at the Soldier's Home. Thinking Stan is disabled (it's just that he's sitting on his leg), Oliver takes pity on him and takes him home for a nice home-cooked meal. But Oliver's wife has other ideas and leaves him to fend for himself. After blowing up the kitchen, Oliver is helped by his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Gilbert... until the big-game hunting Mr. Gilbert comes home unexpectedly, carrying a shotgun.

I never worry about my husband.

When he takes aim, it's a bullseye.

Unlike other hunters,

I don't bring 'em back alive.

I bring 'em back dead. I come back alive.

Did you get those elephant tusks in India?

No. In Africa. I was with my safari...

"Safari" means a bunch of native boys.

I had my lion gun with me -

that's smaller than an elephant gun.

When jumbo came charging after me,

I let him have the full magazine.

You think that bothered him?

That made him angry. It made him mad!

He pulled over five or six trees.

He charged again. I took aim.

And I let him have it.

- I'll be that did the trick.

- Well, there's his teeth.

I've got to go down to the gun shop. I'm

having a new gun made especially for me.

I mean, for elephants. Goodbye, dear.

- Goodbye, darling.

- Excuse me.

Thanks. This'll make an interesting story.

- Who opened the door?

- No one.

- It opens automatically.

- How do you mean?

Well, you see that plate?

You just drive over that, the door opens.

I never saw anything like that.

Mind if I try it?

No. Go ahead. Just drive straight back.

Now just drive it forward.

Ohhh!

(Ollie groaning)

- What's it say?

- "Out of order."

- Where'd you get that?

- I found it on there.

The fella put it on there when you were...

We'll have to walk up.

(Crashing)

- What floor do you live on?

- The 13th.

- Gee, that's quite a way.

- We'll be up there in a jiffy.

What's 13 flights?

Going up?

- Five.

- That's right. Won't be long now.

- Six.

- Mm.

- How long did you say it would take?

- Just a jiffy.

- How far's a jiffy?

- About three shakes of a dead lamb's tail.

Didn't think it was so far.

Surprising the distance...

- Seven.

- Uh-huh.

- How many with seven makes 13?

- Six.

Swell. We've only got six more jiffies.

Won't be long now.

(Buzzer)

- Eight.

- Nine.

I think we'd better rest a while.

That was a good idea of yours.

Come, come. Don't block the stairway.

Who do you think you're talking to?!

You, you big overstuffed polliwog!

- You smile when you call me that!

- Ha!

If we weren't in this apartment house,

I'd wipe the floor with you!

- Don't let that stop you.

- Take him outside.

- Outside?

- See? He's afraid to go.

Who's afraid to go? Any time you're ready!

Well, there's no time like the present!

- I should say not.

- Come on!

You can't get away with that with me.

Polliwog, huh?

He can't talk to you like that.

There's going to be a fight.

There's gonna be a fight.

Hey, Ollie? What's a polliwog?

- I'll tell you later.

- There's gonna be a fight.

There's gonna be a fight.

There's gonna be a fight.

You think you can get away with that?

There's gonna be a fight.
