Carry on Screaming! Page #4

Oh, I hope he didn't leave it

anywhere embarrassing.

That's what I'm afraid of.

I sent him back after it,

but he was disturbed.

So would you be,

with a finger missing.

That's the trouble

with my regenerative process -

it makes everything so brittle.

You never know what's going

to drop off next.

Be serious for a moment.

If they found that finger,

it could be very awkward.

Yes, I'd better go and see them,

I suppose.

Don't go without your portable booster.

You've only had 1,000 amps.

They would have to come tonight,

just when I'm feeling half-dead.

Wha-a-ahhh!

What is it? What happened?

- Oh, lumme!

- It's only a mummy.

What, a mummy?

With a beard?

Well, they didn't only do it to women.

Their men got pickled, too.

Ah, gentlemen.

I see you're admiring my Pharaoh.

He was the founder

of the fourth dynasty, you know.

King Rubbatiti.

How very interesting, sir.

Yes. I've often thought how fascinating

it would be to make him live again.

I bet he could tell us a thing or two,

eh?

All those barge orgies on the Nile.

No wonder they kept finding things

in the bulrushes!

Would you be the master

of the house?

That's right, yes.

I only ask because your butler

informed us you were dead.

You don't want to take

any notice of him.

A young Lady has disappeared,

and we're anxious to trace

her whereabouts.

- Oh? Whereabouts?

- Hereabouts.

- At ten o'clock.

- Or thereabouts.

- In this vicinity.

- Or roundabouts.

- We're police officers.

- Or layabouts.

That, sir, as you may have surmised,

is a member of the general public

who's been giving us some right

cooperation.

I just wondered, sir,

if you had happened to see or hear

anything suspicious this evening.

Oh, no. I haven't heard

or seen anything for weeks.

I've been... away, you see.

Will you make a statement

to that effect?

I just did, didn't I?

Well, I'd like my assistant to get it down,

just to get it on the record, sir.

- Now, first of all, your name, please.

- Doctor Watt.

- Doctor who, sir?

- Watt.

Who is my uncle, or was.

I haven't seen him for ages.

- We appear to be at loggerheads, sir.

- No, no, this is Bide-a-Wee.

Loggerhead's about

five miles down the road.

- No, no, about your name.

- Watt!

- What's your name?

- Watt's his name!

That's what I'm trying to find out.

Excuses, nothing but excuses!

Just get the statement down.

"I haven't seen or heard anything

suspicious in the vicinity this evening."

You too, eh?

I'm so glad it wasn't just me who didn't.

Look, we won't take up any more

of your valuable time.

You've been most kind

and cooperative.

Not at all. I'm only too glad

to help at an... ti...
