Pennies from Heaven Page #4

Old McDonald had a farm

E- I-E-I-O

And on this farm he had a parrot

E- I-E-I-O

With a... and a...

Did you tear something?

Sounded bad.

Well, here we are.

Partner, I want to thank you very much

for the lift.

That's all right.

Glad of your company.

Gee, mister, you can sure twang

on that there guitar.

- That ain't no guitar.

- It's a lute.

A 13th century lute!

Well, where's this house now?

It's up there in those trees.

She's staring you square in the face.

You ain't gonna stay in that house?

- Why not?

- Didn't you know that was haunted?

Why sure. We're the ghosts

that haunt it. Come, come, spirits.

Giddyap!

Maybe we ought to stop over

someplace in town tonight.

We can come in the morning.

Oh, hooey. That Hart probably started

this haunted house talk...

just to keep people

away from the hideaway.

Here. Hey, Gramp, let me get that.

Okay. Come on in.

Join the spooks.

Go on, dear.

Well, come on in.

Nothing to be afraid of.

What's the trouble, Sarge?

I thought you said you were grown up.

- I am.

- You promised you wouldn't be afraid.

I'm not afraid, only...

it's awful lonely in here...

and I keep seeing funny things

in the dark.

- Why don't you close your eyes?

- I do, but it gets worse.

Can I go downstairs with you, Larry?

- What a pest.

- Just for a little while.

- You know you're a nuisance?

- Please?

Why did I ever have to

run into you, anyhow?

There you are. Now stay put.

I'll be right back.

Let's stay up all night, huh?

I'll get Gramp's chess board,

and I'll teach you how to play the game.

No. What do I want with chess, anyhow?

I got troubles enough.

- What troubles have you got?

- Mostly you.

- Me?

- Yeah.

What's the matter with me?

You were born a female.

That was your first mistake.

All females are troublemakers,

one way or another.

They slow you down,

and they cramp your style.

Not me. I'm different.

Oh, no, you're not.

Your friend Miss Sprague

told me all about you.

Friend? She's the worst enemy

I've got in the whole world.

Never mind about that.

You just hop right in here. Come on.

Gee, this is the first time anybody

ever tucked me in bed.

- Would you do it for me every night?

- Every night?

What do you think I'm gonna do,

live here?

We could have an awful lot of fun.

Oh, no. You've held me up

long enough already.

- I'm leaving in the morning.

- Can I go with you?

With me? I should say not.

I don't carry any excess baggage.

That's the secret of my success.

I won't be any trouble.

Trouble's your middle name. Anyway, you

wouldn't want to leave Gramp, would you?

Oh, no, but we could take him with us.

Take him with us?

What are you figuring out for me?
