00:00Who are only born to be funny guys?
00:03A Chico, Harpo, and Groucho.
00:30Well, look who's here, Harpo, the wonder dog.
00:52For me?
00:54Oh, you're fooling.
00:57Even though I owe you for two months' papers?
00:59No strings attached?
01:01You'll never amount to anything.
01:03I'm telling you, I don't know where this world is coming to.
01:05And now I'll never know.
01:09Down, boy, down.
01:10Yeah, that's right, down.
01:11That's a sure sign of spring.
01:12The phone would ring just when I'm hung up.
01:13Groucho, I told you.
01:14Groucho!
01:15Groucho!
01:16Groucho!
01:17Groucho!
01:18Groucho!
01:19Groucho!
01:20Groucho!
01:21Groucho!
01:22Groucho!
01:23Groucho!
01:24I told you a million times we should get married.
01:43I told you I loved you, so please come and marry me.
01:44Daddy, this has been going on for years.
01:45I told you.
01:46You promised me money after we got married, so come and make me happy.
01:47I'm married.
01:48Oh, it's for you, boss.
01:49Groucho, you've got to come and get me now.
01:50We must get married and soon.
01:51Perfectation will get you nowhere, Hortense Rittenhouse.
01:52I've been waiting for you.
01:53I must say I admire your taste, but marriage is simply out of the question.
01:57I want you to marry me, if you will. You love me, now come along and marry me.
02:00What's that?
02:00I love you. Please, Groucho.
02:01Can't I leave you with one teeny-weeny ray of hope?
02:04I want you to marry me. Do you hear, Groucho?
02:06I may live to regret this, but Hortense Rittenhouse, the day this house falls on my head, I shall be yours.
02:11Groucho, I want you to marry me.
02:24Well, they don't make houses the way they used to.
02:46Hey, boss, you sure you gotta do this?
02:49Yes, I must elope with Hortense Rittenhouse tonight.
02:52I have sundry reasons, not to mention my weekday reasons.
02:57And our house did fall down, remember?
03:02Yeah, but she's old enough to be your wife.
03:04Well, on the other hand, she has all the qualities I like to change in a woman.
03:08But she's so big.
03:10Oh, I don't know. She's not so big when you consider that part of that bulge is a money belt.
03:16Besides, she has a heart of gold and teeth to match.

03:43You wanna wake the whole neighborhood?
03:47Ok. Boys. I'll take off here.
03:49Synchronize your watches.
03:50You're hocked it, well that figures.
03:57It is a far wise thing that I have done before.
04:00Come to think of it, it's not as bad as that time of the capes.
04:03But that's another story.
04:05I wish he had a sister.
04:07For me boss?
04:08No, for me.
04:13Anybody home?
04:15Or tents?
04:16Come out, come out, wherever you are.
04:18Why fight it?
04:19This thing is bigger than both of us.
04:22Groucho.
04:23You bellow, dear?
04:25Hortense.
04:26Groucho.
04:27Hortense.
04:28Groucho.
04:30Well, now that we've taken the censors, let's get on with the elopement.
04:36Hey, the boss, he was wrong.
04:38She's bigger than all of us.
04:40I wish you'd be very careful how you treat her, Chico.
04:42Remember, she's the daughter of the richest man in town and she must be worth millions.
04:46Yeah, she must be carrying it in nickels and dimes.
