Doorbells should ring once and

then electrocute the ringer.

Oh.

Won't you come in?

Do you know anything about this?

Go get your sister.

Ryan. Ryan, Ryan, Ryan...

Like rabbits.

I can't find him. Do you

think he might be listed.

...in the business directory under "sandhog"?

He's in the living room under his hat.

He is?

Hey, I thought your approach

was to be strictly scientific.

What do you suppose he wants?

Well, I think there's been a mistake.

A mistake?

Hello.

Sweet kid. What's the matter?

You knew I'd be in a jam the

minute this picture was printed.

But to make yourself look good on the job...

...you're willing to turn it in

and get me four months' suspension.

How did they get this?

Look, if I want acting, I'd go to a show.

But I swear I had nothing... Hoppy!

Mr. Ryan, before you make any accusations...

...you should be ready

to prove your statements.

You took the picture, didn't

you? For that magazine, wasn't it?

So now, at a time when I

need every cent I can get...

...along comes this, and

I get tossed out on my ear.

Hoppy!

Coming, sister dear.

Well?

Nice, isn't it?

You knew this particular

picture was not to be released.

Now, who got it?

Henry. But why didn't you tell me?

After the way this gorilla

cracked Henry's skull...

...he had every right to print it.

Who does he think he is anyway...

...barging into people's

apartments uninvited?

Keeping them awake nights.

Awake nights? What are you talking about?

Why, certainly, she hasn't been

able to... She's hysterical.

Mr. Ryan, I was not responsible

for the publication of this picture.

I want you to believe me.

Okay. Doesn't help anything,

but I'll take your word for it.

Of course, I was involved to the extent of.

...taking it and not destroying the negative.

Forget it.

But you've been suspended at a time.

when you say you need money badly.

If it's a question of going hungry...

Who's going hungry? You angling

to toss some charity my way?

No.

I'd like to offer you a job for

the duration of your suspension.

Working for you? Like what?

Well, I have certain plans.

I get it. Lady, I told you

once I don't want to play.

If you want to buy some muscles,

go out and get a cheap cut of beef.

Why, you...

Listen, you big ape. I'm not

interested in your nauseating charm.

I was offering you a job!

What can I do around here?

Well, you could carry heavy

equipment, couldn't you?

With the proper training,

you might even learn.

...to turn on a light by snapping a switch.

No posing?

No, Mr. Ryan.

You have my permission to

conceal your magnificent figure.

...at all times under an

overcoat and three heavy blankets.

Man's got to be careful
