Is the show troupe on board? Yes.
Which car? | This car, here.
Well, wait a minute. | They'll all be off.
Is this the McGonigle | Repertory Troupe?
Uh-oh.
Where is the Great McGonigle?
He isn't here, | but I'm his daughter.
Has anything happened?
Not yet.
But I have something here | I'd like to give him.
I'll see that he gets it.
Not on your tintype. | That's my job.
Well, jail can't be | any worse than this.
The best thing | this troupe does
is to get out of town just | one jump ahead of the Sheriff.
Yeah, and I can't jump | like I used to.
What's wrong? | What did he do?
It ain't what he did do, | it's what he didn't do.
Snuck out | of his boarding house.
Didn't pay his board bill, | didn't pay nothing.
Nothing!
Are you McGonigle? | No.
Pardon me, | just a little lung trouble.
That's enough of that.
Are you | the Great McGonigle?
I am, sir, yes.
Then I have something | to give you. There.
Thank you very much.
Board!
Just what I've been | waiting for. I thank you.
Thanks for the light.
Good evening, | my happy little family.
How are my little children | of the theater?
Mr. McGonigle, | I've got to have some money.
Yes, my lad, how much?
Two dollars.
If I had two dollars, I'd | start a number two company.
For two cents I'd quit.
Pay him off.
Tickets, please.
Two score and five years ago... Tickets.
...when I was playing | Mahoney City... Tickets.
Good evening, sir, | how do you do?
I refer you to my amanuensis, | Mr. Marmaduke Gump, our manager.
I am the owner and the star.
Excuse me, please.
Tickets.
Now, if you'll point out | the members of your troupe.
Here's two. There's three. | Here's two. There's four.
What have you got | under your foot, Pop?
Under my foot?
Nothing, dear, | nothing under there.
The other foot.
Other? My other foot?
Oh, for goodness' sake.
I'm glad you noticed it. | What sharp eyes you have.
Let's see, my sleeping car | ticket. I must have dropped it.
Here, I bought it for you. | You what?
I bought it for you | this morning, dear.
No, you didn't.
I didn't buy it?
I saw that man drop it.
A man dropped it? | Well, that's funny.
Give it back to him.
Hmm?
Give it back to him, Pop.
Give it back? | Are you sure he dropped it?
Oh, well, then, of course. It | would be dishonest to keep it.
I'll give it back, but I'd like to | know where that one is I bought for you.
I had it.
Why, don't wait up | for me, dear.
I may play a little Parcheesi | before coming to bed.
Pardon me.
I had a ticket. | I think it was upper nine.
Upper nine?
Upper nine made up?
I'll see. George? | Yes, sir.
Upper nine ready yet? | Yes, sir.
Thank you. Get me the | ladder, please, George.
Yes, sir. | Thank you, my boy.
Quite stuffy affair. | This puts...
Not enough room | to swing a cat around in.
That gentleman | has upper nine.
No, upper six is occupied.
You don't think I'd lie to you | about a ticket, do you?
Maybe this telegram | will tell you who I am.
"J. Weldon Potter, Grand Mogul | of the High Chamber Secret Order
"of the Veiled Knights | of Matthias. "
Quiet, please, quiet.
What is this, | a cattle car?
Drat!
Well, I had a ticket...
I'll get you... | Now get your belongings.
Hello, Betty.
And where do you think | you're going?
I'm going to Bellefontaine.
Listen, Wally, you've got to stop | following us around from town to town.
Oh, I'm not following us | around. I'm following you.
Well, you can't | follow me, either.
Listen, Betty, I'm going to be an | actor. I'm crazy about the theater.
