The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. Page #3

Idiots! The piano would be

the last place he would hide!

Search the alleys! Beat the bushes!

Comb the turrets! Shake the trees!

That boy might be anywhere.

He might even be

in this building.

Mrs. Collins,

light this building!

Pull manifold switch 1 02!

No, Sport! Sport, no!

Go away! Go on!

Fine.

Am I glad to see you.

Get out of there.

You scared me.

What are you doing?

Simmer down. What's up?

- They're after me.

- Who?

- Practically everybody.

- Well, I'm not.

- I'm in terrible trouble.

- So? Everyone gets into trouble.

Everyone in the world. The king

of Persia sometimes gets into trouble.

But the king of Persia, does he come

crawling out of my air vent? Not at all.

The king of Persia,

he stays in Persia.

But it's my ma.

Dr. Terwilliker's got her.

You should see the things that go on.

I need your help.

My heart bleeds for you...

but if I don't get these sinks installed

in the cells, I don't get paid.

You're not going to help me?

You would get involved

if you knew the truth.

- What truth?

- The truth about my mother.

She's in a terrible fix.

Dr. Terwilliker's got her buffaloed.

I am entirely too busy

to sit around and talk about buffaloes.

- But you're my only hope.

-just give up hope right here and now.

Boy, I'd hate to have you

for a father.

What makes you think

I'd want to be your father?

My mother's going to marry

Dr. Terwilliker.

Congratulations.

He's even worse than you are.

Well, children seldom

have a choice of parents...

and that, perhaps,

is a good thing too.

If kids had their way, practically

no parents would be born at all.

- What are you doing?

- Rowing a boat.

- What for?

- I'm going fishing.

They're gonna drop a net over you.

- Now what are you doing?

-just casting.

For big-mouth bass.

Okay, okay, for big-mouth bass.

If you're gonna cast,

cast right.

Move over. First, reel in your line.

You've got entirely too much slack.

Once you get it in, pick it up

and flick it like a baseball. See?

Look at that fish jump!

He's a whopper.

Now watch this delicate maneuver.

- I got him!

- You got him! You got him!

Don't yank him!

You'll lose him!

You're letting your line get tangled!

You're gonna get snagged!

A Zabladowski never gets snagged.

Take it easy.

Partner, get the net.

Take it easy.

You'll tip over the boat.

Put it underneath it.

There!

Get a load of that beautiful bass.

Weighs 7 pounds if it weighs an ounce.

- Now I'll have to clean the darn thing.

- Don't worry, I'll clean it.

- Relax. I'll row you back to camp.

- I can handle my share of the work.

I'll take care of the oars.

You be the captain,

I'll be the crew.

Think I'll just coast
