Just what I told you.

Don't let them play into Nick's hands.

Get 'em to go back to the boats and make 'em

stop listening to Belcher,

he's a red if I ever saw one.

That gasbag, I'll break him in half.

I'll show them dumbbells.

No violence, Dutch, just talk to 'em.

Appeal to their reason.

Yeah, no violence.

I'll appeal to their reason.

Yeah, me and Dutch'll fix 'em.

I mean, Dutch'll fix 'em.

Wait a minute, just a minute.

You take those boats out to sea

and our cause is lost.

Aw, shut up and get off of that barrel.

Where do you think you are, Russia?

No, I wish I was.

Well, swim over there and see how ya like it.

Now, why did he do that?

Now listen, fellas.

Who put you up there?

Yeah. Yeah.

Wait a minute, I'll tell you why I'm up here.

It's because you won't listen to Brains.

But you ain't got the nerve

not to listen to me.

Oh, my, what a man.

When we was kids,

we used to fight like wildcats.

But if an outside gang came in we stuck together

and threw 'em out.

You bet we ran 'em out.

Brains says that Nick wants us to strike.

Yeah, you get that,

he wants us to strike.

He thinks we're suckers, but we ain't.

We ain't gonna fight.

And I'll sock the first guy in the puss

that says we are.

You ain't gonna sock nobody.

Is that so?

Come on!

Let 'em have it.

Come on, Dutch!

Break it up, break it up!

Aw, let me go. I'm trying to establish

law and order.

All right, wise guy, come on.

Gee, Hat, what are you doing?

Never mind.

Watch out below, it's a bomb!

Dutch!

All right, you dumbbells, get aboard your boats

and let's catch some tuna.

He catches my goat, that Dutch Muller.

He smart guy. He settle my strike.

Maybe someday I settle for his hash.

Nice work, boy, much obliged.

Nothing at all, nothing at all.

Any time you got a tough nut to crack

just call on me. I'll be glad to oblige.

Yeah, sure.

Only next time you don't have to tell

me what to do. I'll handle it.

I can always get the gang to do

what I want them to.

Okay, Dutch.

I was in it.

Yeah, yeah, you look fine.

Get aboard.

Step on it. Back to work.

All right.

Jimmy, come on down the roof, now.

The strike's over.

All right, sis, I'll be right down.

That's right, Jimmy.

He's such a good boy.

Come on, Lil. I'm gonna tell the big lug

who saved his skin.

Gee, Hat, you'll get canned.

Mr. Muller, will you say something for the

Metrotone News while we take your picture?

You mean the moving pictures?

Sure, how about getting me up on our boat?

That oughta be good, huh?

That'll be fine, come on boys.

Hi, girls, did you see the big show?

You was marvelous.

How about a kiss good-bye?

Sure, after a while. These newsreel guys

want to take my picture.
