I'm a mechanic...

At the baby-carriage factory.

Where?

California.

San Francisco?

Burbank.

Baby-carriage factory, eh?

Yep...Tokyo Baby-Carriage Corporation...

"Plain and fancy baby-carriages,

for carrying babies to Tokyo."

Maybe you think this is

none of my business?

Maybe I do.

Probably your name

isn't even Bill Carter.

Probably not.

It's probably Joe Carter.

Well...I'll take this one.

Have you got an alarm-clock?

Yeah. How about a key?

Hello, Milligan.

I'm Dingle.

Hold on...excuse me! ####

Come in!

Only one 'L' in 'Dingle'.

You must have been shopping...

Let me help you.

There you are, Miss Milligan.

Miss Milligan...

I've got something to tell you.

Mr Dingle...

- I've been thinking about it a great deal...

- I wasn't sure how you'll take it...

It just won't work, that's all...

You'll have to give up your half

of the apartment.

- What's that?

- I can't have a man around the house.

I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind...

You'll have to leave!

Say...what's the matter with you,

anyway?!

I guess I'm just a bit jumpy, that's all.

Well, calm down!...

You're making ME jumpy, too!

It's alright...it's nothing at all.

I'm sorry.

Come here a minute.

What's the matter, Milligan?

Dingle!

- Now, listen, Bill...

- Joe.

- Listen, Joe...

- Yeah?

I've got something

I've got to ask you.

What?

You might think it a bit personal.

That's alright.

Never mind...I'll tell you later...

It's alright!

That's alright,

I'll tell you later.

Mr Dingle!

Yes?

Did I leave my comb in there?

No.

Never mind!

Hey, did YOU say something?

- Yes?

- I thought you'd finished.

No hurry!

Just a minute!

That's alright...no hurry.

- Alright?

- Alright!

How did THEY get here?

Bill!

Bill!

Are you looking for someone?

Who are YOU?!

How did you get IN here?

Well, I live here.

Since when?!

Since this morning.

You don't by any chance

happen to know a gentleman...

...by the name of Mr Benjamin Dingle,

do you?

Meaning ME, Miss Milligan?

Yes! Meaning YOU!

What do you have to say

for yourself?

Have you met my friend,

Joe Carter?

I just met Joe Carter.

Oh...fine fella!

Mr Dingle...answer me this...

Who was it located

and leased this apartment?

Who was it made that the landlord

re-paper and re-paint it?

And who was it bought furniture

and drapes...

...and made rag-rugs, and who considers

this apartment her own?!

- You.

- Alright then answer m this...

Who was it allowed you to sublet

half her apartment...

...against her better judgement?!

You.

Then why do you go behind my back...

...and rent my apartment

to this...this...him!

But I only rented half of my half.

Otherwise my friend Joe here

would've had to sleep in the park.
