00:00Uh-oh, uh-oh, great balls of fire, I'm bodacious.
00:17Uh-oh, uh-oh, great balls of fire, I'm a fright.
00:22Uh-oh, uh-oh, great balls of fire, goodness gracious.
00:27I'm chop-chop-chop-chop-choppin' with all of my might.
00:31Yay!
00:33All right, Louisi, I'll paint the house.
00:36I just don't see why it needs it again so quick.
00:39I just done it 20 years ago.
00:41Here you are, Schnaffy. You forgot your brush.
00:45Thank you, Louisi.
00:47Oops, I spilt a mite.
00:52Well now, let's see. Where should I start?
00:56I think I'll start about here.
00:59You ain't getting none of this cabbage pie unless you paint this your cabin.
01:04Now, y'all get to work.
01:07Let's see. I'll try a little of this, and a little of this, and a little of this, and a lot of this, and then...
01:18Hmm, say, that's not bad for a day's work.
01:23Think I'll take me a little old snooze.
01:26Don't want to sap all my energies this morning.
01:52That Schnaffy sure is messy.
02:05I'll just throw this away and save him a little work.
02:09Oh, what a magnificent painting.
02:12Oh, are you the artist?
02:15Not exactly, madam, but I'm very close to him.
02:17Well, I simply must have him do my portrait.
02:22Here's my card. Bring him to my house tomorrow morning promptly at ten.
02:27Don't worry, madam, we'll be there.
02:31Schnaffy, wake up, Schnaffy. Opportunity is knocking.
02:35Well, tell him to go away. I ain't home.
02:38You don't understand, Schnaffy. I'm standing at the foot of genius.
02:42No, you are standing on the foot of Schnaffy.
02:46A most brilliant example of modern primitive art.
02:49The world must be made aware of your genius.
02:52Well, I don't.
02:54This is no time for artistic modesty.
02:56Fame and fortune await us.
02:58Ah, you too, starting first thing in the morning.
03:03Now remember, Schnaff, let me do the talking.
03:06Your art speaks for itself.
03:08You must be the artist. Madam is expecting you.
03:12Step this way, please.
03:14Oh, you have arrived.
03:20Oh, Morris, how clumsy of you.
03:22You know everything in the house is priceless.
03:25Barney, Barney, we's in trouble.
03:28I can't remember how I've done that other picture.
03:31And now I'm supposed to do another one.
03:33We'll just set up everything exactly like it was that day.
03:36And then we'll wait for the inspiration to come and hit you.
03:40Well, if he does, I'm going to hit him right back.
03:43That's the pose, Mrs. Van Gelt. Now just hold it.
03:47Everything exactly like it were.
03:49Let me see.
03:50The paint was out and the cabbage pie.
03:53And then I tried a little of this.
03:55And I tried a little of that.
03:56And then a lot of this.
03:58Oh, yeah, I forgot to do this.
04:01Yuck!
04:03Well, let me see.
04:04Then I done something like this.
04:08Oh! Oh, my wall!
04:10Oh, dear me!
04:12Oh!
04:13Snuff. Snuff boy.
04:15Are you almost finished?
04:16I can't hold her like this much longer.
04:18Just about, Barney.
04:19Now let's see.
04:20After I laid this stuff out, I laid myself out.
04:24And...
04:38Well, sure, Snuffy's inspiration should be coming any second.
04:42Oh, what's that noise?
04:44It's getting louder and louder.
04:46I think it's my inspiration coming.
05:01History tells us all true artists must suffer.
05:05And so it is with us.
05:07Great balls of fire, Barney.
05:10Danged if I couldn't have drawed that old lady.
