Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation Page #4

"If it doesn't, | you did something wrong.

"Also, be sure and adjust throttle | to maintain 50 pounds pressure...

or else you'll blow up | the whole damn place. "

Anybody who wants to take a bath around | here tonight can jump in the Pacific Ocean.

Honey, would you feel better...

if I went out and gave | that butterfly valve a twist now?

Oh, Rog, darling.

Did you ever see anyplace | quite so horrible?

Not since Dragonwyck.

Did you take a look | into that kitchen?

No, and I'm not going up | in the attic either...

until all that sobbing | and moaning stops.

Isn't it awful? All those chains | dragging across the floor.

Yeah, what's that old woman | cackling about? Listen to her.

There's no aerial.

There's that fella that gets shot | off his horse every time...

right in front of the camera.

That hombre can really bounce, | can't he?

"Highest Bounce in the West," | they call him.

Can't be long now.

Yeah.

Here we go. | Five, four, three, two, one.

Ee-yah.!

There he goes.

- Poor old Black Bart. | - Shot him right through the heart.

Well, he should never | have killed Tom's kid brother.

We're gonna make a home | out of this place yet, honey.

- Good night, sweetie. | - Good night.

Boy!

Oh, my. Oh, the pump.

All right. | Where is the pump? Uh-

Must be over there.

A hush falls over the crowd...

as Hobbs's shrewd eyes | take in the intricacies...

of the complicated machine...

at a glance.

Then his strong, skillful fingers...

as sensitive as those of a surgeon...

make their first sure contact | with the key valve.

"Open green intake valve...

"and close red return valve.

"And open green supply valve | and close red supply valve.

Throw in a bucket of water. " | A bucket of water.

Here.

Step by step...

with never a false move | or moment ofhesitation...

he moves relentlessly | toward another triumph...

in the never-ending struggle...

of man versus machine.

And now-

And now-

And now-

The silence is almost unbearable.

Will Hobbs take this sitting down?

5-3-7-2.

The doctor told her she could look | for a hemorrhage, and sure enough, here it came.

Whoosh! | All over the walls, and dripping-

Buckets and buckets and buckets.

- By then, some kind of secretion was coming out of her eyes. | - Eww.

- What was that? | - Sounded like a dog.

There are no dogs on this phone.

Anyway, while they were mopping up-

Madam, I'm sorry, | but I haven't had my coffee yet.

- Who is this? | - Oh, now, really, Dad.

I've gotta get a plumber.

I've never seen such a weird place.

Could be lots of things.

- Did you open the green priming valve and pour in water? | - Yeah.

Uh-huh. Did you choke the butterfly | on the carburetor and open the throttle?
