There isn't much time left.

You know that, don't you?

Alright.

- What happened?

- That's what I wanna know.

Wait a minute!

- Did you get a load of that?

- What a dish!

- I wonder who she is.

- We'll soon find out.

- Oh, boy.

- Yes.

- Who's the new dame?

- A Miss Hopkins.

Miss Hopkins. Did you hear that, kid?

And good looking too.

Go get her, Shemp.

Oh, wait a minute!

You can't propose to a

girl looking like that.

We've gotta give you the works. Come on.

- Hello.

- Oh, hello.

Come in! Cousin Basil, oh!

I'm so happy to see you!

I... I...

I've just been dying to meet you!

And you're even cuter

than Aunt Sadie said you were.

Oh, boy, success!

Yeah, listen to those kisses.

Cut it out!

Oh, you must be exhausted

after your long trip.

Sit down. Let me look

at you, Cousin Basil.

Now don't you go away.

Hello? Yes, this is Miss Hopkins.

You're Cousin Basil?

Well, then who is...?

I was...

How dare you pretend

to be my cousin Basil?

I'll teach you a thing or two! You wolf!

Don't you dare strike me!

Taking advantage of a poor,

weak, helpless woman!

You... you... you horrible person, you!

- Get up there.

- What happened, kid?

Can I help it if I ain't Cousin Basil?

Oh, Professor! Are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine.

All I wanted to do was propose, but...

Propose?

Oh, Professor, this is so sudden.

You mean you'll really marry him?

Oh, of course.

He's my little old dream boat!

Your little dream boat is sailing.

Wait a minute. You're gonna sail away

from a half a million bucks?

We only got two hours left.

Come on. Get going. Come on.

Now, here's the license.

My pal wants to get married in a rush.

Oh, splendid! Oh, excuse me.

Hello.

Who? Mr. Howard? Yes, he's here.

Hello. Yes? What?

How many of them? Wow.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, thanks.

That was the clerk at the apartment.

Those dames you phoned this morning

found out about the

500 grand in the papers.

Come on, pal. We gotta make this fast.

Have you got the ring?

Why, certainly.

Join hands, you lovebirds.

There he is!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Who is this character?

- She's the bride.

- Oh, yeah?

Not while I got my strength.

Tell the truth. Didn't

you propose to me?

- Yes, but I'm with...

- Didn't you?

Yes, but you turned me down.

That was before I read the papers.

Now I accept.

Look at that. We better

do something fast.

Yeah.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What's going on here?

Ladies! Ladies!

Stop it, you big bully!

Justice, please, please.

- Yeah.

- Hurry up!

Just a minute. Hold

hands, you lovebirds.

Oh, my goodness.

Wait a minute.

You wouldn't hit a lady with that.

- Use this. It's bigger.

- Oh, thanks.

- Will you marry me?
