It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Page #3

Not only does nobody like it,

it costs $4 a can.

- Yeah, but...

- "Yeah, but," what?

Most people like it and I like it.

I'm working hard,

trying to keep the costs down.

You were working hard

to keep the costs down...

...the day you ran

into the street screaming.

- Mother!

- Emmeline, shut up! And you, too!

Maybe he was playing

a trick on everybody.

Did you think about that?

He might have been a practical joker.

Oh... Monica! Practical!

What kind of man is going to play a

practical joke on complete strangers...

...with every bone in his body broken?

- Watch! Watchtower!

- No.

- Wall...

- No.

- Walnut tree.

- No, no!

- Walnuts.

- No!

- In bags.

- No!

Why are we doing only 35?

Step on it! See what happens.

- Mother!

- They'll see what we're doing.

Go ahead and try it.

What've you got to lose?

Mother, he's not that good a driver.

- Uh-huh.

- A-ha!

Going to leave the big boy behind?

What are you doing?

Why are we slowing down?

It's no use.

We can't lose them this way.

The inside of my stomach...

What's that idiot in the truck doing?

What's he doin' back there?

I bet he's running out of gas. Good!

What happened to you?

- Having trouble with your engine?

- Run out of gas?

- What, you bend your tailpipe?

- No. It was just one of my tires.

I thought...

Shucks! Okay, so I was trying to...

Rats.

This whole thing...

I think we're making a big mistake.

- I absolutely agree.

- So?

We're being silly

running around like this.

- Sure. We're getting nowhere.

- By george, he's right.

Let's do something sensible.

Let's just discuss this thing...

...and reason something out.

- I'm with you.

And we can come to some conclusion

like intelligent people.

What he said.

Yeah. That way nobody will have an

advantage on one another, right?

It's fair.

We'd better get the cars off that curve.

Let's not talk here, but over there.

There's plenty of room.

Fine, see you over there.

Over there.

You're through to Homicide.

Santa Rosita Police Station...

...Detective Division.

I'm connecting you now.

Santa Rosita Police Station.

Detective Division. Matthews.

No, Sheriff, the Chief isn't here.

He's a little late this morning.

I'll stay late after school. Who is it?

- Sheriff, Crockett County.

- Who?

- That's where the Smiler is.

- I wonder if anything happened.

Gertie, will you put

that call through here?

How about some coffee, Schwartz?

Hello, Sheriff. Culpeper.

What'd he do, make a break?

What happened?

Afraid I got some bad news.

- Grogan's cashed in his chips.

- He what?

He crashed his car

about 20 minutes ago.

He was making a break, all right.

How did it happen?

Where did it happen?
