All right, nurse.
Doc, I feel terrible.
This is the worst
I've felt all week.
Now, just relax,
Mr. Fellowsby.
Quite frankly
your case baffles us,
but this next series of tests
should explain your high fever.
I'll drop in
and see you later.
Thank you, Doctor.
Dr. Burns.
Yes, nurse?
I don't think there's anything wrong
with that man. I think he's faking!
I'm sure your diagnosis
is based on something
as scientific as, say,
a woman's intuition.
his temperature was normal,
and when I told him so,
he actually got angry.
- What's your name, nurse?
- Peggy Osborne.
- New here?
- Yes, sir, but...
You know it's against all rules
to tell a patient his temperature.
Yes, sir.
That nurse is
getting suspicious.
Why can't we knock
that bank over now?
Why not, Boss?
It's laying right
across the street.
and grab a handful of small change.
Jump into your duds,
we'll hop over there,
do the deed, and you'll be
back in bed in 10 minutes.
It's a perfect alibi...
just like you figured.
Look, we don't move
out of here
until the boys
from Detroit arrive.
Why do we need a couple
of outside mugs?
Listen, will you leave
the brain work to me?
I've never seen
these boys from Detroit,
but they tell me they handle
a gun like it was a blonde.
Yeah, but how are we
gonna know these guys?
They're gonna give me the password.
They're gonna say,
"Is the doctor here?"
Give me a couple of those pills
that give me the fever, will you?
I'm beginning to cool off.
There you are, my friend.
Just place a quarter
and your address in an envelope
and we'll mail
your picture to you.
There you are.
Just mail us 25 cents.
Weokie!
Weokie!
Where did you
learn that call?
Same place you did.
18th Street.
Hey, you're
not Bill Burns,
who was the dumbest kid
on our street?
The very same,
only it's Dr. William Burns now.
Gee, I'm glad
to see you, Flash.
Am I glad to see you.
I've got Little Tubby with me.
- Sure.
He's around here someplace.
Tubby, oh Tub...
He must be down this way.
Oh, Tub!
Tubby!
He's around here someplace.
Look out for these things.
Tubby! Tub...
- Somebody call me?
- What are you doing in there?
Well, I needed a darkroom
to reload my camera.
Well, why pick out
a trash can?
I don't have to pay
any rent here.
Never mind that.
Get out of here.
Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I don't want to be helped
by strangers. Who's him?
That's your old pal, Burns.
Don't you remember, Burns the kid?
- Bill Burns?
- Bill Burns.
Bill, I'm glad to see you.
How have you been?
Get me out.
I want to talk to you. Come on.
Fire engines.
Fire engines.
What's he
so excited about?
An editor promised us a job on a
newspaper if we could get him a scoop.
some pictures of the fire.
I might be able to help you.
Come with me.
- Going to the fire, Mack?
- Yes, Doctor.
Hop in, boys,
this may be your break.
- Where's the fire?
- In your eye.
Oooh!
Whoo! Whoo!
Oh, you clumsy...
whew.
Tubby, you haven't changed.
You're still getting into trouble.
Say, Bill, I wonder what the rest
of the gang are doing nowadays.
You mean the kid that
always played the fiddle?
Yeah, he's got a swing band
up at Sun Valley.
Got me the job
as resident physician up there.
You hear that?
Everybody's going places but us.
We'll get rolling.
Whoa!
Now I know what they mean
by share the ride.
Hey, what have you got,
A or B coupon?
Keep quiet.
You've got to kick in
with an A or B.
- Quiet!
- Give me something!
Hey, you'll have
to get off now.
I've got to get a retread.
Come on, hurry up!
Look at that fire!
Come on, get the cameras!
Oh boy!
Oooh!
Here, Tubby.
Here's your camera.
You didn't get hurt,
did you?
- No.
- Thattaboy! Me neither.
Quick now!
Hey, Chiefie!
Hey, Chief!
Hi, Chiefie!
Look at the camera
and see the little birdie!
A cute little one!
Watch!
Now, watch
the little birdie!
Hey! Stand still,
will ya?
The chief turned
into a tree.
Now somebody put a ladder
in front of me.
Get the ladder
out of there, will you?
Oh, boy!
What a fog! Whooo!
I'll never be able
to drive home in that!
Boy, these people
look small.
I'll have to change
the lens.
Hiya!
- If he falls, he'll break his neck.
- What are we going to do?
Chief, get that ladder down
before he's killed!
Flash:
Bring him down! Hold it, Tubby!Bring him down!
Bring him down!
Flash! Flash!
Hold it, Tubby.
Flash!
- Flash!
- Swell!
Now turn around so I can get
your face in the picture!
I got it!
Oh, it's hot!
I can't hang on
any longer!
Here I come!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Tubby! Tubby!
Are you all right?
Weokie!
Tubby! Oh, Doc! Doc! Oh, Doc!
We'll have to take x-rays. Take him
down the hall while I make a report.
Oh, I forgot her chart.
Oh, oh.
- What happened?
- You've just had a baby.
A baby?
A boy or a girl?
A boy.
A boy?
- Does it look like me?
- Exactly like you.
Cute little fellow.
I'm so lucky!
What!
A baby?!
It's a man!
Hey, Flash!
Never mind.
No you don't! No you don't! No you don't!
I've been looking all over
for you. Where've you been?
Having a baby.
Having a baby?
Yeah. Come on,
let's get out of here.
Wait a minute. We can't.
We've gotta find Bill.
You gotta have
x-rays taken.
X-rays?
"Surgeonly. "
If they come out good,
can I have a dozen of them?
- Oh, stop! Let's look in here.
- The first one.
Yeah, we'll start here.
- Open it up. Go ahead!
- Pardon us.
Excuse us, please.
You boys looking
for somebody?
Is the doc here?
Well, it's about time
you boys got here.
Where you guys been?
- Working.
- Doing what?
Shooting people.
Perfect day for it.
You mean you've already
shot somebody today?
We've got to make
a living, haven't we?
How'd you do it?
He just sticks 'em up
against the wall and shoots 'em.
Yeah, at the prices we charge
we can't be fussy.
Say, were you in
on the deal?
No, I was shooting a cop
down on the corner.
Hey, what do you charge
for shooting cops?
Cops?
Free.
We make it free for the cops
because when we're shooting
other people, they never bother us.
Now let's get
this clear, boys.
With me, you've got to keep
the shooting down to a minimum.
The important thing is to stand
outside that bank across the street
and cover us
when we come out.
You want us to cover you
when you come out?
That's right. You boys are clear on
what you're supposed to get for this job?
Well, we charge everybody
the same... 25.
25?
Hey, that's a little steep,
isn't it?
Well, how do you
figure that?
Lots of times
people come at us so fast
that we shoot the back of their
heads. We don't get nothing for that.
- Getting them in the back of the head don't count?
- Oh, no.
And if we don't do a good job
for you, we won't charge you.
- What time?
- Just when the bank's about to close.
