The Inspector General Page #4

Hurry up. Lie down, lie down.

Wait a minute. I bet he can run

faster than you can.

No thanks Otto. You won it fair and

square.

A bargain is a bargain.

Any good?

Would you mind if I tasted a few?

I haven't had anything to eat in a

couple of days.

I appreciate this. Thank-you very much.

Don't put that heavy stuff on top of

the crystal. Where's the wagon?

- Now please go back.

- Stop thief! Go get him.

-Stop that thief. Is there somebody

over there that can stop that thief?

- I caught you, you thief!

Who me? You have the wrong

person. The horse followed me, I'm innocent.

Then you'll hang with a clear conscience.

Take him to jail. Take him away.

Hold it, hold it. I'm innocent. Stop!

Ask the horse, I'm innocent.

Gentlemen.

- To business. Gizzy or is it Izzy?

- I'm Izzy uncle.

- You can always tell by the strawberry mark.

- Never mind. The hospital, have

you cleaned it up?

We cleaned up the floor, put sheets

on the bed and got the goats out of surgery.

And I put charts on each of the

patients beds, indicating the nature

of their illness.

Good, at least now they'll know

what they die from. Kovach...

Well, I've patrolled all the roads

leading to and from Brodny.

So unless the Inspector General decides

to disguise himself like a bird and fly

into the city, he'll never get past me.

- Good. And the jail?

- I've had new locks fitted to all the

cells, burned all the rubbish.

- I even have a prisoner.

- Good, who is he?

Oh I don't know , just a tramp.

I apprehended him in the city square.

He was trying to make off with a

horse and wagon, the one we were

loading with silver.

- My silver? My valuables?

- Yes, but I got him before he.....

- Who is he? Where did he come from?

- Oh I don't know he's just......

a common tramp. Dressed in rags.

You idiot! Did you cite him,

question him?

It was so near lunch time and he

was just a common tramp.

The Inspector General? Well that's

ridiculous.

Why not a tramp? In Falsburg he

appeared as a travelling shoe salesman.

In Clamatti he was disguised as a

peddler. And here, why not a tramp?

My horse and wagon. The wagon I

loaded with valuables to ship out of town.

Of course, the evidence he needed.

Now he knows.

-I would like to take this opportunity

to tender my resignation.

- To the jail.

Who's there?

- Want some water? Water?

- I want some food.

- I'm sorry. The prisoners are fed

promptly at 3 o'clock.

- I guess I can hold out til then.

- Wednesday and Saturday.

- But today is Thursday.

- What is time?

- Look I haven't eaten in two days.

What kind of jail is this where they

won't even give a man a crust of

bread. All I want is a little piece of food there.
