First of all, here's the heart.

The intestines will be going

through their peristaltic action.

X-W-V-U...

...A-F-P.

That's incorrect.

The correct spelling of nuisance...

...is N-U-I-S-A-N-C-E.

They're pulling us up.

Class, these are the cotton balls

with the chloroform.

As soon as I get them all in,

put the lid on right away.

That's it.

That will start them going to sleep.

They won't feel anything. They won't be hurt.

It'll take a little while.

If you don't want to watch them,

you don't have to.

Say hi.

Can you talk?

Can you say hi?

Uncle Ralph!

It's Uncle Ralph, long distance from California!

I'll talk fast. This call must be expensive.

No. If I call anytime on Saturday

without an operator...

...it's five minutes for 85 cents plus tax.

If I talk less, I pay less.

Let me talk to that little fella.

Lou, it's Uncle Ralph.

Hello, Uncle Ralph.

Save him.

Run for your life! Back to the river!

Back to the forest!

Run! I want to save you!

Let's get out of here!

Get out!

I got to let him go!

You've got to save him!

Let me handle this!

Let me handle this! I can handle this.

Let me get this.

I'm afraid Betsy Sue

isn't going to run tomorrow.

No. Is it anything serious?

Harvey, I'm home. Come here, boy.

Here he is.

Here's who?

The man from the moon,

but I think you've killed him already.

As soon as I unload the stuff, okay?

Bugs.

I want you to meet somebody.

This stuff has gone up so much in one week.

I want you to meet somebody.

When I finish putting this stuff away, okay?

Stupid rag. I knew it wouldn't come out.

''B.''

What's with this?

Hello.

Yeah, this is she.

''Basket.

''Bandit.

''Ball.

''Basket. Bandit. Ball.

''Bugs.

''Bananas.''

Intoxicated?

You sure you have the right Elliott?

''B.''

''B.''

-''Biscuits.''

-''B.''

''B.''

...with a baseball and bat.

You said ''B.''

''B.''

You said ''B.''

Good.

''B.''

''Good.''

I'll be right down. Thank you.

Gertie, I have to go pick up Elliott.

-Will you be a good girl--

-Mommy, he can talk.

Of course he can. I'll be back. Stay there.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...little Grover here will demonstrate...

...by chinning himself two times.

Two times?

Two times.

Can I start?

Go ahead.

Okay. Here we go.

Phone.
