00:02:34 Get out from there.
00:02:35 I heard what you said.
00:02:37 But, Mom.
00:02:38 I did call this living.
00:02:39 Yeah, but I'm limitated.
00:02:40 I was just--
00:02:41 If you don't like it, all you got to do
00:02:43 is to pay me your rent and leave.
00:02:44 You understand that?
00:02:45 Because I'm not going to--
00:02:46 [screaming]
00:02:47 What's that say?
00:02:48 Get it out of here.
00:02:49 Don't get scared, Mom.
00:02:50 Come here, Steggy.
00:02:51 Come here, Steggy.
00:02:52 Come here.
00:02:53 Stop acting like that.
00:02:54 Mom, now don't be scared.
00:02:55 This is Steggy.
00:02:56 This is part of my animal act.
00:02:58 That's the part that's going out of here, doesn't it?
00:03:00 Oh, but Mom, you don't understand.
00:03:02 See?
00:03:03 Uh, look at that.
00:03:04 Ain't that nice?
00:03:05 What is it?
00:03:06 Uh, this is Steggy.
00:03:07 He's an animal of distinction.
00:03:10 I don't care if he's an animal of extension.
00:03:13 Dusty, you got enough animals in your room now.
00:03:17 Well, you got a whole zoo up there.
00:03:20 What is he anyhow?
00:03:21 Uh, Mom, this is Stegunky.
00:03:24 Uh, uh, uh, and absolutely harmless.
00:03:27 Just look at that.
00:03:28 Ain't he cute?
00:03:29 Oh, you little rascal.
00:03:31 [laughing]
00:03:33 Mom, and he's smart, too.
00:03:35 Yes, he is.
00:03:36 Got two brains.
00:03:37 He's got one in his head.
00:03:38 He's got one in his tail.
00:03:40 There you go.
00:03:41 Try to jive me again.
00:03:43 Boy, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:03:45 Whoever heard tell him any animal having brains in his tail.
00:03:49 If he's got one brain, anyway, he's got one more than you've got.
00:03:53 Uh, Brat, come on, Steggy.
00:03:55 Come on, now.

00:07:31 And you lay like this here.
00:07:32 See, you can get some good sleep like this.
00:07:34 I slept in the park a minute just like this.
00:07:37 You sleep like-- and then when you
00:07:38 feel like you want to turn over, then you
00:07:40 just turn over just like this here.
00:07:42 Boy, this is awesome.
00:07:44 This is--
00:07:45 Hey, Steggy.
00:07:47 Hey, Steggy.
00:07:49 Hey, St--
00:07:51 Well, now, ain't that a shame?
00:07:54 Well, he always said be kind to dumb animals.
00:08:00 Then maybe he ain't dumb.
00:08:02 Watch that pot on the stove for me a minute, Freddy.
00:08:20 Oh, come here.
00:08:23 Thank you.
00:08:25 You in show business?
00:08:26 Yes, I sing.
00:08:27 Oh, you do?
00:08:29 Oh, but you're mine.
00:08:30 Oh, you wouldn't mind.
00:08:32 Run and scale for mom.
00:08:33 I love singing.
00:08:36 [vocalizing]
00:08:39 Is that all right?
00:08:46 My honey, that was beautiful.
00:08:49 What is your name?
00:08:51 My name's Lila Foster.
00:08:53 And I was wondering if you could show me your room.
00:08:57 Well, yes, I can show you one.
00:09:01 But the trouble of it is, they're all filled up.
00:09:05 Well, thanks anyway.
00:09:07 Oh, wait a minute.
00:09:09 Let mom think.
00:09:11 There must be somewhere I can put it.
00:09:14 Oh, yeah.
00:09:15 I'll put Dusty in the room with Musty.
00:09:19 No.
00:09:20 If I did that, Musty'd eat up the rest of Dusty's ass.
00:09:27 Oh, I'll put Boo-Boo-- no.
00:09:32 I can't move Boo-Boo.
00:09:34 He never find his own way.
00:09:37 You know, he's always PR, UNK.
00:09:41 No.
00:09:42 Yes.
00:09:43 [vocalizing]
00:09:46 [laughing]
00:09:49 I know I need a drink.
00:09:52 My friend Dust still gives me a drink.
00:09:55 And I'm good at it still.
00:09:57 Yes, sir.
00:10:01 My old friend Dust will always look out for me.
00:10:05 I get the feeling-- hey, Dust.
00:10:08 Come on.
00:10:09 Get up and give that drink.
00:10:10 I want a drink, Doc.
00:10:12 Oh, you see?
00:10:15 You're sleeping.
00:10:18 Keep it right in that drawer there,
00:10:20 so I'll just go in and help myself.
00:10:22 All of you, now.
00:10:23 Hey!
00:10:24 [vocalizing]
00:10:27 [laughing]
00:10:33 Yeah, baby.
00:10:36 Look like Jim?
00:10:40 Tastes like Jim.
00:10:44 It is Jim.
00:10:45 Oh.
00:10:46 [screeching]
00:10:54 Whoa!
00:10:55 Oh, my goodness.
00:11:03 Oh.
00:11:11 [laughing]
00:11:14 That was Boo Boo.
00:11:16 I don't think we'll ever see him again, honey.
00:11:18 And now Mom got a room for you.
00:11:21 He seemed so frightened.
00:11:24 Frightened?
00:11:25 He was scared to death.
00:11:26 You know what I think happened?
00:11:27 I think he must have took one look at Steggy.
00:11:30 Did Steggy abort a hit?
00:11:32 No rumor.
00:11:33 I don't feed pre-hysterical animals.
00:11:36 I just can't feed the hysterical ones.
00:11:39 Put up a stand tomorrow, I'll show you where your room's at.
00:11:42 Come on.
00:11:43 This way, darling.
00:11:44 You see?
00:11:48 This was Boo Boo's room.
00:11:50 But you can have it now.
00:11:52 You know, you're a pretty girl.
00:11:54 I think you look better with your hat on.
00:11:57 [laughing]
00:11:58 Malty!
00:12:07 I know you don't.
00:12:08 You're not going out of here until you've
00:12:09 paid me every nickel of your rent.
00:12:11 Get back in that room.
00:12:12 Can you imagine as nice as I've been to him?
00:12:20 Get in there.
00:12:21 Oh my goodness!
00:12:31 Did you hurt yourself?
00:12:32 No, I hope not.
00:12:33 I hope I didn't hurt myself.
00:12:35 Oh, how to do.
00:12:37 Uh, looks like I've seen you someplace before.
00:12:39 Maybe you have.
00:12:40 You see, I get around.
00:12:41 Yeah, and your name is, uh--
00:12:42 Vivian.
00:12:43 And your last name?
00:12:44 Harris.
00:12:45 Oh, I had a hard time guessing that, too.
00:12:47 And who are you?
00:12:48 I'm Spider Bruce, you know.
00:12:49 Oh, Spider Bruce.
00:12:50 Yeah, are you going to the dance tonight?
00:12:52 Well, I was thinking about it.
00:12:53 Well, that's nice.
00:12:54 Are you married?
00:12:55 No, I'm not.
00:12:56 Well, where do you live?
00:12:57 Upstairs.
00:12:58 Oh, you're cooking up there now, huh?
00:13:00 I should say not.
00:13:01 I'm an actress, and I live up there.
00:13:03 Oh, I see.
00:13:04 Well, how about you and I getting together tonight,
00:13:06 going to the dance together?
00:13:07 Well, I don't care if I do.
00:13:08 What time can I meet you?
00:13:09 How about the corner drugstore about 9 o'clock?
00:13:12 That's fine.
00:13:13 9 o'clock.
00:13:14 9 o'clock.
00:13:15 I'll see you here.
00:13:16 OK.
00:13:17 Oh, me, me, me.
00:13:18 Don't forget.
00:13:19 9 o'clock?
00:13:20 Yes, sir.
00:13:21 I'm going to the tailor shop and get my clothes right now.
00:13:23 Ha, ha.
00:13:24 If I bet they do, they don't.
00:13:29 If I bet they will, they won't.
00:13:31 I guess the landlady will just have
00:13:32 to wait for her rent this week.
00:13:34 Yeah, I ain't certain about what you talk about,
00:13:36 because I ain't--
00:13:37 Why, hello, fellas.
00:13:38 Why, hello there, huh?
00:13:39 What's all y'all been down there?
00:13:40 Oh, don't never care nothing of Joe's place.
00:13:42 Why, he leaves his wife there in charge,
00:13:43 and the minute you go after your things,
00:13:45 she overcharges you there.
00:13:46 Yeah, well, how much you charge her?
00:13:47 Some charge in me $0.35 there.
00:13:49 $0.35?
00:13:50 Right.
00:13:51 Well, I spent a dollar, two dollars,
00:13:52 and a half to have my clothes fresh.
00:13:53 Yeah, that's the reason you got on that leafy-ass suit
00:13:55 there now, saying she's going to the dance tonight.
00:13:58 Not like this.
00:13:59 Well, it's a wonder you got this far looking like that.
00:14:01 How about-- now, listen.
00:14:03 I remember the first time I saw you.
00:14:05 You know, you did me a very nice favor, too.
00:14:07 Oh, I wasn't going to bring that up.
00:14:08 Well, one good term deserves another.
00:14:10 Yes, sir.
00:14:11 And if my clothes will fit you, here they is right now.
00:14:14 Try on them pants there.
00:14:15 Yeah, but what are you going to do?
00:14:16 Don't worry.
00:14:17 I got clothes I ain't never seen before.
00:14:19 Well, all right.
00:14:20 Thank you very much.
00:14:21 All right.
00:14:22 I'll go over here and try them on.
00:14:23 Aw, don't do that.
00:14:24 Don't never bend up the pants like that.
00:14:26 It's certified sense invested there.
00:14:28 All right, I'll be right back.
00:14:29 Yeah, now try them on right there.
00:14:31 You all right?
00:14:32 Boy just plays horses all the time, you know.
00:14:35 Yeah, I never will forget what he did.
00:14:37 Get your heels out the pocket.
00:14:39 You act like you ain't never had on no pants before.
00:14:42 Oh, they fit him, too.
00:14:44 I sure is glad of that.
00:14:45 Now he can go to the dance.
00:14:46 Yes, sir.
00:14:47 Him and I are going to that dance tonight.
00:14:50 He ain't come back.
00:14:52 How do they look?
00:14:53 All set there, you know.
00:14:54 Yes, it fits you.
00:14:55 Look, here.
00:14:56 I want you to take my coat.
00:14:57 Your coat, too?
00:14:58 Yes, sir, the coat.
00:14:59 Well, this is all right.
00:15:00 I know.
00:15:01 You really all right here.
00:15:02 Oh, I know.
00:15:03 But now wait a minute.
00:15:04 Don't throw it in my face like that.
00:15:06 Well, what's the matter?
00:15:07 Well, I'm going to have some friends on this baby.
00:15:09 Oh, no friends on that.

I'm tired of you children's bullshit. - Excuse me. - Let me have your fork. - Why on earth do you want my fork for? - You'll see. - You always use two forks? - Only when I have a young lady, a beautiful young lady at my side.
00:28:26 - Take them all. - See what I mean? - Shame on you children. - Why, you beat them all up for Mr. Stanley. Mr. Stanley, Mama'll get you some more. - Thank you so much. I sure do like potato pancakes. - I'm glad you do.
00:28:54 - You ain't fast around here, you sure starve all right. - Yes, you will. - See what I mean? - Well, I'll be fast. - Yes, see what you mean. - Just for that, you're not going to get nothing to eat at all. See what I mean?
00:29:15 - That's too bad. - Oh, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, shut up. Before I cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. - Stanley, how do you like it here? - Oh, it's grand. But if I don't get a job by the end of the week, I'm going to have to leave. I only have enough for one week's board.
00:29:38 - One week's board, that's all I ever paid and I've been here six months. - But how does Mom manage? - Well, to tell you the truth, I never asked her. I guess she's got insurance money. - You mean Mom had insurance money. It's all gone now. I got something to tell you children after dinner. A little bad news.
00:30:00 - Oh, I won't spoil your dinner. Go ahead and eat. Mom will tell you after dinner. - All right. - Okay. - Well, that's a bit of dishes to me children, will you? I hope you enjoyed the rabbit stew. - Yes, well, thanks for the dinner and if you see a piano, let me know.
00:30:22 - I certainly will, Mr. Stanley. You'll be hearing from us very soon. - Follow.
00:30:38 - Don't disturb the paying boarders. - Oh, no, excuse me, but if you see a piano, let me know, yeah? Bye. - Bye.
00:30:56 - Well, children, this is it. Everything's going out, nothing comes in. And to tell you the truth, Mom's broke. And if I don't have $50 by 12 o'clock tonight, the landlord said he's gonna throw everybody out of here.
00:31:21 - Your stinking uncle and all that. - Well, you see, I've been sleeping in the park so long, tell it don't worry me.
00:31:31 - Maybe we can all pool our money. I still have $2.60. - You won't have it if I know where it is.
00:31:39 - Listen. - Well, if we pooled all of our money together, with your $2.60, we wouldn't have $3, honey.
00:31:49 - Won't the rent collector take something on account? - On account of what?
00:31:53 - On account of we ain't got but $2.60. - Oh, he ain't gonna stand for that.
00:31:59 - Oh, don't worry, Mom, something will turn up. - Where's your $2 at, honey?
00:32:03 - Oh, mind your own business, Dusty, you're always ready. - I don't pay a bank.
00:32:07 - When? - Oh, I pay it back, too. When I get it.
00:32:12 - Ain't that something. - I got a gig.
00:32:15 - Got a gig where? - It ain't come up yet, but it's promised to me.
00:32:19 - Yeah, you let me know when it comes up and I'll have one with you. - Thank you.
00:32:23 - Mommy, none of them hotcakes left? - No.
00:32:27 - Simon. - That man'll never take nothing on account.
00:32:32 My children, that man is so mean. Don't you know he's liable to walk in here at one minute after 12
00:32:39 and open the door and throw us all out the window?
00:32:43 I wish I could cook him just one meal. That's all, brother.
00:32:49 [phone ringing]
00:32:52 [phone ringing]
00:33:05 - Well, kids, might as well brace up and pack up, too.
00:33:12 I think this is the bad news. Get ready for it.
00:33:18 Come on in, Dre.
00:33:26 - Ha, ha, ha. You got the 50 bucks? - No, I ain't.
00:33:31 - Ha, ha. Then out you go, all of you.
00:33:35 Ah, something new has been added.
00:33:40 Well, you see, babe, today is the last day of the month.
00:33:45 In exactly three minutes, everyone gets thrown out.
00:33:50 Of course, now, if you were my wife and they were friends of yours, I might reconsider.
00:33:56 - I need time to think it over. - You have plenty of time.
00:34:01 - Exactly two minutes. - Oh, I need more time.
00:34:06 I'll give you 24 hours to make up your mind. I'll be back tomorrow night at midnight.
00:34:12 If it's no, out you all go.
00:34:17 Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:34:20 Oh, Lala, darling, gee, you were wonderful.
00:34:30 Mom didn't know you could jive like that.
00:34:32 - You jived all right. - Mom got a daughter.
00:34:35 - Mom gonna adopt you. - Thank you.
00:34:39 - You are a great chap. - You mean you are only stalling him? You're not considering?
00:34:44 What do you take me for anyway, of all the nerve?
00:34:47 Wait, wait, Lala. I didn't understand.
00:34:51 - I'm Lila Foster. - Gee, I'd know you anywhere.
00:34:55 Your dad and I had shooped together for years. How is Joe?
00:34:58 He's fine. This is Jerry Lewis, a friend of mine.
00:35:01 Glad to know you, Jerry. Any friend of Joe's daughter is a friend of mine.
00:35:06 Jerry and I are singers, and we were wondering if you'd let us try out in your next show.
00:35:10 Oh, I'm sorry, Lila. But if you've been reading the papers, you know that there won't be another.
00:35:15 - I had another flop. - Does that mean you're quitting?
00:35:18 Oh, no. A fortune teller told me to quit.
00:35:22 - A who? A fortune teller? - Yeah. What's wrong with that?
00:35:25 Well, nothing.
00:35:28 Say, I know a wonderful fortune teller. Why not let her tell you a fortune?
00:35:32 I just told you I just had my fortune told.
00:35:35 But, Mr. Norman, when a doctor tells a patient he has something seriously wrong with him,
00:35:40 doesn't the patient go to another doctor for another opinion?
00:35:44 - Well, if doctors can be wrong... - Oh, I see what you mean.
00:35:47 Where is this wonderful fortune teller?
00:35:50 - Uh, at the tropical tea room. - Well, come on. Let's go right now.
00:35:54 - No, no. She don't begin until 4 o'clock. - All right. I'll see you there at that time.
00:35:59 - It's a date. Thank you, Mr. Norman. Goodbye. - Oh, goodbye.
00:36:03 See you later.
00:36:05 Your father does. What do you know?
00:36:09 You know it all about experience and show business.
00:36:13 I ain't never been a fortune teller before.
00:36:16 Well, Mom, you know what to say and what to do.
00:36:19 Oh, yes. This town's a tale.
00:36:22 Well, about Mom, I ain't never missed a cue in my life.
00:36:26 Jerry, I still think it's a mean trick to play on Mr. Norman.
00:36:30 Lila, all's fair in love and show business.
00:36:34 And besides, we're helping him.
00:36:36 Well, I hope so.
00:36:39 Here he comes now.
00:36:42 - Well, here I am. - Hello, Mr. Zorn. I'll take your hat.
00:36:46 Madame Altura, this is Mr. Norman.
00:36:50 This is the wonderful fortune teller I was telling you about.
00:36:54 It is the pleasure to meet you.
00:36:57 Sit down.
00:37:00 Lila, I'm glad to meet you.
00:37:06 I tell you of fortune. I tell you everything.
00:37:10 These crystal balls tell everything.
00:37:13 No odds. Understand?
00:37:18 Ah.
00:37:21 I can see talent.
00:37:24 A house full of talent.
00:37:27 That will make your next show see big heat.
00:37:32 - Is that not right? - Sure.
00:37:35 - Shut up. - Lila, I'll be the doctor.
00:37:38 Where is all of this fine talent?
00:37:41 In Mom's boarding house.
00:37:44 - Never heard of them. - I heard of them.
00:37:48 - So have I. - We could round them up for you.
00:37:51 I know Mom personally.
00:37:53 Well, is there enough talent in this house for the whole show?
00:37:56 Ah. What Mom's house not got, a friend next door, Bueller, got.
00:38:01 See, Bueller's house got what Mom's house lacked.
00:38:05 What's that? Two bathrooms?
00:38:08 Well, you kids round up that talent and have them in my theater in the morning at three.
00:38:13 I'll audition them there.
00:38:16 And our theater? Thank you.
00:38:20 A hundred dollar bill!
00:38:23 - Thank you! - So long, kids.
00:38:26 - Bye, Mr. Norman. - So long, Mr. Norman.
00:38:28 Call me, Jay. I'm going to faint.
00:38:31 Hey, wait for me!
00:38:42 [phone ringing]
00:38:45 Well, what's the answer? Won't you marry me?
00:38:56 Here's your answer, brother.
00:38:58 Today is the last day of the month, and I don't have to accept it.
00:39:01 Listen, you extended that one day, and I've got witnesses to prove it.
00:39:05 All right. But I'll accept it.
00:39:09 Yeah? Well, right now, brother, get lost!
00:39:13 Mr. Norman, if you'll sit on that seat,
00:39:21 I'll introduce the acts that we'd like to have you put in your show.
00:39:24 And I'll introduce them as they appear for you.
00:39:27 All right. Go ahead. I'm ready and anxious to see them. Bring them on.
00:39:31 Say, Mom, are you going to be in the show?
00:39:35 Well, the children kind of was talking about they'd like for Mom to do a little dance.
00:39:40 So I can't turn them down. I guess so.
00:39:42 Yeah, once an actor, always an actor.
00:39:45 You tell it be.
00:39:47 How about you, Jesse? You going to work?
00:39:49 - Hey, Connie. - I say, are you in the show?
00:39:51 - Am I in the show? - That's what I said.
00:39:53 Hey, just a second.
00:39:55 Yes, I in the show. Well, I am the star of the show.
00:39:59 - Say. - Out of my way, hound.
00:40:02 Hound.
00:40:05 Hound.
00:40:08 Hound, why do you appear without me?
00:40:12 Hound.
00:40:15 - Hound. - There's some actors.
00:40:18 Get up.
00:40:21 They're great acts, though, every one of them.
00:40:24 Now, Mr. Norman, we're going to give you the talent.
00:40:29 The talent that we hope you're going to produce in your next show.
00:40:32 The young man that I'm going to introduce to you is a gentleman that should be a sensation.
00:40:37 In fact, I know he'll be a sensation, and he should be an inspiration to us all.
00:40:41 Introducing at this time, Crip Hurd.
00:40:44 Take it away, Crip.

00:53:28 Mr. Norman, I'm going to introduce a lady that's terrific.
00:53:33 A lady in your eyesight, and when you look and see her, you're going to feel just exactly as we do.
00:53:38 We all call her Moms because she's just that dear to us.
00:53:41 Professionally, she's known as Jackie Moms Mabley.
00:53:45 But we all call her Moms, so what do you say, Moms? Take it away.
00:53:49 [Music]
00:53:52 [Music]
00:53:57 I'm so tired, I feel like I have the hardest luck in the world.
00:54:00 Now I've lost my job again.
00:54:03 Working for the mayor, too.
00:54:05 Well, it ain't my fault.
00:54:07 I was doing very well to them.
00:54:10 Duke and Duchess of somewhere came over here.
00:54:14 And as soon as they came over here, they said, of course, they stand with the mayor.
00:54:19 The madam comes up to me now, she says, "Mom," she says, "don't say yes, ma'am, no ma'am to the Duchess."
00:54:26 She says, "you must say, 'Your Royal Highness, come on in the excellent dining room, eat your Majesty's grapefruit and all that stuff.'"
00:54:38 Well, one day anyhow, the mayor went out for a ride on the bridle train.
00:54:44 Come back in, said to me, he says, "Mom, where's the Duchess?"
00:54:47 I says, "She's in the Royal Bathroom, in the Royal Bathtub, with her Royal soap and her excellent washrags, scrubbing her Royal hide."
00:55:01 I didn't know it was wrong.
00:55:03 They fired me.
00:55:05 Of course, when they fired me, when I lose my job, I lose my man.
00:55:11 That is, since I got well.
00:55:13 I'm old, you know, now don't get me wrong, it ain't no disgrace to be old.
00:55:18 But darned, if it ain't inconvenient, I can tell you that much about it.
00:55:22 Sure, I like Cam Calloway.
00:55:24 Everybody's talking about it, I know it.
00:55:27 Say, Cam treats me like a dog, he does.
00:55:32 Treats me like a dog, he called me a dog.
00:55:35 Yes, he did.
00:55:36 What did he call me?
00:55:37 An old dog.
00:55:39 Sometime I wished I was a dog, but he was a tree.
00:55:43 I didn't intend to do that, but...
00:55:45 Well, Luther, looks like it's about time for Mom to get away from this.
00:55:51 Now, it's been a long time since I spanked these boys.
00:55:56 So I want you to play it real pretty for the people, and see if Mom can't do a little re-bop for 'em.
00:56:02 Take it away, Luther.
00:56:05 Wait, wait a minute, Luther.
00:56:07 No, don't play it like that, Luther.
00:56:09 Play it like you're playing for one of them big people, you know.
00:56:13 Make it pretty and one of them symphonic stuff, all that stuff.
00:56:17 Hey, honey, make me look like Lena Horne, if you possibly can up there, Miss Life-ass.
00:56:22 That's better, baby.
00:56:23 Come on, Luther.
00:56:24 Knock me out, Luther.
00:56:27 [music]
00:56:38 I love to dance.
00:56:39 At least I used to love to dance.
00:56:41 [music]
00:56:56 I'll get you over this, man.
00:57:01 Made it, made it, made it, made it.
00:57:04 [music]
00:57:20 Now, say, where's your animals at?
00:57:22 Huh?
00:57:23 Where's your animals?
00:57:24 They don't get up this time in the morning.
00:57:26 No?
00:57:27 No, I'm going on without 'em.
00:57:29 Oh, yeah.
00:57:31 Very funny, I'm telling you, very funny.
00:57:34 I suppose you're wondering who I'm speaking of being very funny.
00:57:37 Well, I'm talking of a marvelous comedy team, Lewis and White.
00:57:44 Now, what I could do a little tune that I had the pleasure of doing in the show just now.
00:57:47 Well, here I am.
00:57:49 Hello there, how are you?
00:57:50 Say, say, can't you see I'm out here trying to entertain?
00:57:53 Trying?
00:57:54 Are you kidding?
00:57:55 Why, don't you have guests here?
00:57:57 This is no place to try nothing.
00:57:58 Furthermore, there's a show going on.
00:58:00 What time does it start?
00:58:01 Well, the show is on now.
00:58:03 Yeah?
00:58:04 How long is the show?
00:58:05 55 minutes.
00:58:06 How long are you on?
00:58:07 10 minutes.
00:58:08 Be back in 11 minutes.
00:58:09 Say, wait a minute, where are you going?
00:58:10 I'm going out enjoying the wax.
00:58:11 Enjoying the wax while the waxes are for women.
00:58:13 Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:14 I'm for women, too.
00:58:15 Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:16 You know, just sit down while I run over four or five bars of Sonny Boy.
00:58:19 Well, where I'm standing, Sonny, you should run over four or five bars of Life Boy.
00:58:23 Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:24 Say, are you going to let--
00:58:25 You tell him, Wells Fargo, I can't express myself.
00:58:27 Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:28 Are you going to let me sing this number or not?
00:58:30 You a singer.
00:58:31 Are you kidding?
00:58:32 Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:33 Why, you're ugly.
00:58:34 Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:35 And you're drunk.
00:58:36 Yeah, and you're ugly.
00:58:37 And you're still drunk.
00:58:38 Yeah, but tomorrow I'll be sober.
00:58:39 Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:40 Say, well, I've got the kind of face you have to look at twice.
00:58:43 Yeah.
00:58:44 You know, you don't believe it the first time.
00:58:46 Are you one of those wise guys, huh?
00:58:48 No, I'm not.
00:58:49 Why?
00:58:50 Well, in order to be in show business nowadays, you have to have political background.
00:58:53 What do you mean?
00:58:54 Oh, well, well, well, well, everybody in my family is interested in politics.
00:58:57 Is that right?
00:58:58 I'm a Democrat, my wife's a Republican, my baby's wet, my cow is dry, and my cat is on the fence.
00:59:03 Ha, ha, ha.
00:59:04 Why, it's a good thing you don't have a dog.
00:59:06 I got a dog, but he don't vote.
00:59:07 No?
00:59:08 No, he just hangs around the polls all day.
00:59:10 Ha, ha, ha.
00:59:11 All right, you're so smart, spell skunk.
00:59:13 Skunk?
00:59:14 Uh, S-K-N-K, skunk.
00:59:17 S-K-N-K?
00:59:18 Yeah, I left you out.
00:59:20 Ha, ha, ha.
00:59:21 All right, you heckling me, what can you do?
00:59:22 Who, me?
00:59:23 Yes, you.
00:59:24 Well, I make with the poetry.
00:59:25 You mean you're a poet?
00:59:26 Jack, I'm a poet, know it, believe me, I can go it and I ain't scared to show it.
00:59:29 Well, let me hear you recite some poetry.
00:59:31 Oh, you want to hear me recite?
00:59:32 That's right.
00:59:33 Well, it's dramatic.
00:59:34 Dramatic?
00:59:35 Yeah.
00:59:36 Right here.
00:59:37 Don't get scared now.
00:59:38 Don't run away.
00:59:39 Drama.
00:59:40 Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow, and with the price of meat, the
00:59:44 way that it is.
00:59:45 What about it?
00:59:46 That lamb has got to go.
00:59:47 Say, why, is that the best you can do?
00:59:48 Oh, no, I have another.
00:59:49 Better than that first one.
00:59:50 Well, it's short.
00:59:51 Quickie.
00:59:52 Yeah.
00:59:53 First to the point.
00:59:54 Uh-huh.
00:59:55 Go right ahead.
00:59:56 Well, you see, once there was two fellas, one named Brunside and one named Rockside.
00:59:57 Well, Brunside lived on the east side and Rockside lived on the west side.
00:59:58 Brunside decided he'd move to the north side and Rockside decided he'd move to the south
00:59:59 side.
01:00:00 So Brunside decides he'll go down on the south side to visit Mr. Rockside on that side.
01:00:01 So he goes down the street on the wrong side, crossed the street to the right side, did
01:00:02 a house on that side, walked up on the porch on the outside, rang the doorbell on the inside,
01:00:21 and said, "I'm going to the south side."
01:00:45 Oh, I see.
01:01:11 And he said, "I'm going to the north side."
01:01:40 Oh, I see.
01:01:41 And he said, "I'm going to the south side."
01:01:42 Oh, I see.
01:01:43 And he said, "I'm going to the north side."
01:01:44 Oh, I see.
01:01:45 And he said, "I'm going to the south side."
01:01:46 Oh, I see.
01:01:47 And he said, "I'm going to the north side."
01:01:48 Oh, I see.
01:01:49 And he said, "I'm going to the south side."
01:01:50 Oh, I see.
01:01:51 And he said, "I'm going to the north side."
01:01:52 Oh, I see.
01:01:53 And he said, "I'm going to the north side."
01:01:54 Oh, I see.
01:01:55 And he said, "I'm going to the north side."
01:01:56 Oh, I see.
01:01:57 And he said, "I'm going to the north side."
01:01:58 Oh, I see.
01:01:59 And he said, "I'm going to the north side."
01:02:01 Stanky!
01:02:02 You called me Stanky a couple of eggs back, and I don't like it.
01:02:03 Reach for that there shooting arm, and if I don't beat you to the jaw and blow your head off, my name is Eddie Rochester Anderson.
01:02:12 Oh, um.

01:02:18 Look at you, partner.
01:02:23 I told you that if I didn't beat you to the jaw and blow your head off, my name was Rochester.
