(0.00 / 0 votes)- Well, we're out of gas.
- Well, that's all right.
We still have our gas-rationing card.
Gas-rationing card. Why, a C card
wouldn't help us here. Oh, you...
You don't have to lose your temper.
I'm sorry, l...
You're sorry. You were sorry
about that redhead in the auto court.
You were sorry about that waitress
in the barbecue stand.
I suppose you're sorry...
about talking me into taking
this road instead of the main road.
Well, l'm sorry that l'm sorry.
But if you're sorry,
you can't help being sorry...
- Oh, get out of here.
- Maybe someday you'll be sorry.
A thousand miles from nowhere.
Well, here's another nice mess
you've gotten me into.
And don't say you're sorry.
Worried, aren't you?
Are you?
Well, it must be 1 1 5 in the shade.
That's a good idea.
L'll go right now and get it.
- Hey, Ollie.
- What?
I can see the back end of a truck.
That's no truck. That's me.
- The back end of a truck.
- L'm sorry, l...
- Ollie.
- What?
- L see a gas station.
- Where?
Right in here, see?
Look, it's right in there, see it?
Give me that.
Stanley, we're saved.
But how are we gonna get
this thing over there?
That's simple. One of us will push
and the other will steer.
I never thought of that. Well...
- Hey.
- What?
- Not too fast.
- L won't.
When you start pushing,
don't push over 35 miles an hour.
All right, let's go.
Hey, Ollie.
- What?
- Do you mind if l stop a minute?
All right.
- Okay, Ollie, l'm ready.
- Well, it's about time.
What would you have done...
if l hadn't had presence of mind
to have you push me?
I haven't the slightest idea.
I guess the only thing l could have done
if l'd gone to the gas station...
Who's pushing this thing?
I forgot to tell you.
See, l borrowed a mule down the road.
Remember when we stopped?
Well, l guess a mule's
as good as a donkey any day.
It certainly is. You're absolutely...
What do you mean, as good as a...?
Get out and find the attendant.
- L'm sorry, Ollie.
- Sorry for what?
Closed for the duration.
Now what are we going to do?
Hey, there's a car coming.
Let's flag him down.
Yeah, maybe
we can borrow some gas.
Look, here's a...
Here's a truck coming.
It's no use,
they won't stop for us in this desert.
Say, why don't you lie down
and pretend you've fainted.
Then he's bound to stop. He wouldn't
let anybody faint on the desert.
- At last you're using your brain.
- Hurry up and faint, he's getting closer.
- All right.
- Here.
a gallon of gas?
A gallon? What are you trying to do,
wean this thing?
You see, we made a slight miscalculation
in regards to our supply.
- Yeah, he means we ran out of gas.
- Yes.
Well, gentlemen,
the right man just came along.
Chester Wright,
inventor of the Little Wonder Gas Pill.
The answer to the rationing problem.
This is the 1 0-gallon size.
This is the five-gallon size.
And this, gentlemen, is a gallon
can of water. Sample it, if you please.
I'm sorry.
It's water, all right.
You're gonna see a demonstration
of the eighth wonder of the world.
I'm gonna take some pellets, place
them in the can of water you sampled.
- Open your gas tank.
- Oh, yes, sure.
Oh, l'm sorry.
Gasoline.
Just pour it into your tank, gentlemen.
Now, step on the starter.
Mister, you have saved us
from an untimely end.
Yes, sir, we might have died.
- How much do we owe you?
- Forget it, my friends.
- Just regard it as a courtesy of the road.
- Thank you very much.

We're one of the wonders
