Horse Feathers Page #7

Synopsis: Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff has just been installed as the new president of Huxley College. His cavalier attitude toward education is not reserved for his son Frank, who is seeing the college widow, Connie Bailey. Frank influences Wagstaff to recruit two football players who hang out in a speakeasy, in order to beat rival school Darwin. Unfortunately, Wagstaff mistakenly hires the misfits Baravelli and Pinky. Finding out that Darwin has beaten him to the "real" players, Wagstaff enlists Baravelli and Pinky to kidnap them, which leads to an anarchic football finale.

Oh, you're beautiful.

You're overcoming me.

- Thanks for reminding me.

I like you. You got something.

I'm gonna tell him he's crazy.

Professor, what are you doing here?

Nothing, since you came in.

You know him?

- He put me on the football team.

Now I just have to get him

off the couch.

Read any good books lately?

This must be the main highway.

Follow me,

I've been doing this all day.

Pretty popular place. - Yeah,

a hot dog stand would clean up.

What are you doing here?

- Me? I'm the music teacher.

Since when?

- Since you came in.

And you? - I'm the plumber. In case

something goes wrong with her pipes.

I haven't used that joke for 20 years.

Take a deep breath and follow me.

Cosy place we have here.

You sing high, eh?

- I have a falsetto voice.

My last pupil,

she gotta false set of teeth.

So maybe it's better you don't sing.

That's much better. I'll sing.

"Everyone says I love you,

the big mosquito when he sting you,

the fly when he's stuck on

the fly paper, too, says I love you.

Every time the cow says "moo",

she's making the bull very happy too,

and the rooster when he holler

cock-a-doodly-doo, says I love you.

Christopher Columbo, he write

the Queen of Spain a nice little note,

he say how I love you, then he get

a great big boat. He's a wise guy.

What you think Columbo do,

when he's coming here in 1492,

He says to Pocahontas, atch-a catchy

coo, which means I love you!"

Maybe it's better I don't sing, too.

- Yes. - Alright, I'll play.

I love good music. - So do I,

let's get out of here. - Sit down.

I've got to stay here. But you folks

can go into the lobby till it's over.

Well, that's all for the first lesson.

Next week I teach you how to breathe.

Don't breathe before then.

If this is a singing lesson,

I'm a ring-tailed monkey.

Keep your family out of it. Baravelli!

- What?

Are you going my way? - Yes.

- Then I'm staying here.

No you don't. And if I find you here

again, it'll be curtains.

Tell my son to take that lamp down.

Dad!

You've got the wrong football players.

- The whole team?

No, Baravelli and the dog catcher.

But I got them in the speakeasy.

- You got the wrong ones.

The ones I told you about are playing

for Darwin. - Send for Baravelli.

Don't leave a stone unturned.

He's probably under one.

Baravelli!

...2671, 57, 84, 59, 71...

What are you doing in there?

- I'm practising secret signals.

Come on out.

What do you want? - You can fix it

for our team to win. - Oh no,

I want to play. - Alright, but listen.

I want two Darwin players kidnapped.

Have you any experience in kidnapping?

- You bet. You know what I do?

First I call them up,

then I send them my chauffeur.
