You didn't knock him out.

No.

- You don't deny it.

- No.

What are you gonna

tell the press?

- He knocked him out.

- It's a lie!

So, you hung it on me!

You weren't with me

last night, huh?

Really! Cross my heart, he did!

He can't get away with that!

Cut it out, now!

Go on, muzzle him!

Ohh! Hey, cut it out.

What are you tryin' to do?

Settle down, will you?

Yes, if you'll settle down...

I'll explain

exactly what happened.

All right, go ahead.

Give us the lowdown.

Well, in the first place,

he swung at me and missed.

I never miss.

Yes, you missed me. Then...

Hey! I can't hit you, huh?

No.

You see what I mean?

There.

You see, Mr. Sloan?

That's point number one.

He swung at me and missed. See?

But I never miss!

Hey.

Oh, no.

That's not the way to do it...

Look, this is the way.

See? Like that?

Uh...

Cut this nonsense.

Will you kindly tell me

how I got knocked...

Mr. Sloan,

that's exactly what happened!

Why, what a story!

Twice in one day!

He gave him

another demonstration.

Wait a minute.

I can explain everything.

He can explain better.

Yeah, but I didn't do it.

It was an accident.

- What an accident!

- He's right. I did it!

How much did Gabby give you

to say that?

Where's that...

Give me that, you press rat!

Give me that!

Get out of here, you buzzards!

Get out of here, you buzzards!

Get out of here!

- Say something.

- Uhh.

OK. He'll be all right, doctor.

It's the shock, that's all.

What he really needs is sleep.

This'll fix him up. Now,

give him a spoonful of that...

and a glass of water.

Someone should...

Oh, I'll watch him, doctor.

You remember,

I looked after him...

the time he got his face

caught in a cash register.

Yes. Ha ha.

Well, good night, doctor.

Good night.

Good night, gentlemen.

Good night.

Come on, doc.

Get going, will you? Get going.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Good night.

I got it. I got it!

What'd the doctor say it was?

Get Sullivan, come on.

Get Sullivan.

I got it. I tell ya I got it.

It's an angle,

and what an angle!

Come on, get Sullivan,

bring him up here.

Bring him up here!

Bring him right up here!

That does it! That re...

Oh, dear.

Oh. Heh.

Yeah. OK.

Want your sugar? Huh?

Do you?

Well, heh...

how do I know

you love me? Hmm?

How do I know you love me?

Oh? Ohh, yes.

Now, wait a minute.

Wait, now. Wait, now.

Wait, now. Wait, now.

Tell me you love me.

That's it. Mmm. Here.

Oh. I got some more.

Wait a minute.

I got some more. Look.

All right, guess which?

Hey, you.

The boss wants to see you.

You're comin' with me.

No, sir. I've got work to do.

Come on!

Anyway, I'm not going

up there again... anyway.

What's that?

Once bitten, twice shy.
