Am I glad to see you? What in the world is the matter with you? I'm afraid there's a screw loose in my mind. Oh, my goodness. You had any word. I thought there was something serious. It is serious. Very serious. My mind is just like a brain to me. Abbott, you gotta help me. But what is the matter with you? Remember that dream I had where the fella said every time I told a lie or did something bad, he blow a horn? No. What about it? Do you know where I can reach Petrillo? Oh, no. No. God. You just imagine it. No. I don't. All day long, night and day, he powers me around blowing that horn.
Now I know how Betty Grable must feel. Oh, they got no. You're you're acting like a child. You you probably haven't had enough sleep. Did you drink anything last night? You know I don't drink. Were you out late with a girl? You know I never have anything to do with girls. Did did someone say Castello? There it goes again. Abbott. It's the guy with the horn. Oh, I didn't hear anything. Yes. Is there anyone in back of me? Callers in back of you is more you. Abbot, there's something wrong with me. I knew it the moment I walked through that door. How did you know? The door was closed.
[00:03:53] Unknown:
Mister Costello, four o'clock. Time for your medicine.
[00:03:56] Unknown:
Wait a minute, Costello. That's a dog biscuit. They work. I haven't howled in two days. Will you stop this foolishness? You need a change of scenery. We'll drive to the beach and give the girls the once of what do you say? Oh, that's the force. Me. Abbott. What now? I heard that music. I didn't hear a thing. I hear the music. Oh, I wish my mother was here. Why? She danced with me. Oh. No, Sally. You're going to drive yourself nuts. Don't say that. Life couldn't be that cruel to me. I'm a nice guy. Look at me. I'm in my prime. Everything to live for. A perfect specimen. Just try here, mate. I'm a perfect specimen.
Two hundred and sixty pounds of bulging muscles. Gliding muscles?
[00:04:47] Unknown:
Painsy wingsy muscles?
[00:04:51] Unknown:
Blubber? Blover? Hey. Who are you talking to? The guy with the horn. He just gave me another argument. Look, Costello. There's nothing wrong with you. You're just as normal as you ever were. That's right. Kick a man when he's down. Oh, how could this happen to me? I'm good for my mother. I got money in the bank. I love anime. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You say you've got money in the bank? About $400. 20 8 bucks.
[00:05:26] Unknown:
20 8 bucks.
[00:05:28] Unknown:
Oh, boy. If I could only get my hands on that. What'd you say? I have, well, I said that that's a lot about to have on your hands. Yeah. Let me look at you. I'm dying. He's cleaning his teeth. I tell you you're not dying. What's happening to you is far worse. I knew it. I knew it last night when the landlady brought up that pot roast. That's why pot roast is very good for you. That's why I think I'm going back. Why? After I ate the pot, I had no appetite for the roast. What am I gonna do, Abbot? Well, Castello, anytime something like this happens to a man, someone has to administer his his estate. Now you don't want to leave all that $28 to the government, do you? Oh, no. No. Some foreign country might hear about it and try to make a loan. Sure.
Besides, I always figured I'd leave it to my aunt Marie. Your aunt Marie? Yeah. She was so good. She was like a mother to me. A father, a sister, a brother, an uncle, a grandmother, and we all live together in one little room. Now, Godzilla, we have to put the money where it'll do the most good. I'd like to leave something to my girl, Gladys. Oh, why worry about her? She's got a good job with the time of old. Yes. I know. One of these nights, someone's gonna throw that baseball straight and knock her head right off. Now let me see. 28 plus.
That's not enough to start a college, is it? No. How about a small college? No. Junior college? No, Costello. You're you're you're thinking all wrong. Who is your best friend? You. Now you're thinking. Hey. If you'll forgive me, I'd like to ask you a silly question. How how do I know you won't spend the money? You're forgiven. Thank you. Okay. Now now now don't forget, we wanna make this all legal and binding. We'll get a lawyer and put everything in writing. Is that okay? Well, if you want a good lawyer, call my husband. Where can I get him? Well, call Peter Hopper Binks, Frank Swagger Binks, and Strandonian Binks. Why so many Binks? It's the same guy. He just like to keep an eye on the others.
Look, which one is your uncle? Jones. Jones? Yes. Of Jones, Spanish, gram, written as the written Maloney. Then why why did you tell me to call Friedelhofer Binks, Munchwager Binks, Imelflacker Binks, and Spondylian Binks? If your uncle is with Jones, Fenestgram, be with Mulrooney. Why did you tell me that? Because Jones, Thinisgram, written DeWitt, Mulrooney's phone is out of order. And, Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Fox, will you please repeat that? Are you kidding? I'm lucky I got it out there. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Come on. Let me hear what you have to say. I can't. The line is busy. The line is busy. Good. Doctor, I don't think we should engage anyone you know. Let's be impartial about this. Let's get my lawyer. Uh-oh. That's good. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What's the matter? What do you mean impartial? If you can get your lawyer, why can't I get my lawyer? Well, now you see my lawyer doesn't know your lawyer. That makes it impartial. Oh, yes. That makes sense. Come in.
Oh, hello, mister Ennis. Hi, Estella. Skinny. Brace yourself. Costella has blown his stuff. Yeah? Yeah. What's new? Oh, okay. Hey. Wait a minute. No. No. No. Costello, don't excite yourself, Skinny. Yeah. The boy is emotionally upset, and I understand that the musical, therapy is prescribed under such conditions. Is that true? Well, therapy in it will be glad to apply. That's well. Alright, Catella. Compose yourself. Skinny is going to play some pretty music for you. Now sit back. Come on. Okay. Sit back there now. Now relax. Now I'll turn your light down low. Okay. Now close your eyes.
I can't. That's wonderful. Now put your head right on my shoulders. Are you comfy? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh, that's wonderful. Anything else I can do for you? Uh-huh. Why? Just make a night. Yeah. We don't go lay down. Oh, get a Oh, get up, Costello, please. Oh, I can. Get him up. Come in, counselor. Sorry. I'm late, Abbot. I was detained at court. How did you think I was acquitted? Good. Mother got twenty years. Are you having a party? Oh, what makes you think that? What's that beer barrel on the bed? That's no beer barrel. It's Castello. Oh, ho ho.
Oh. That's the chump you're taking for the $28. What's the deal? Hallucinations. Can't you break his leg? I'm terrific at assault and battery. No. No. No. No. No. We we haven't got time for that. Hey, Costello. Wake up. Wake up. Oh. Oh, okay. Bye. Okay. Goodbye, Gladys. Bye. When you forget, Gladys, Nutella, I want you to meet, counselor O'Toole. Oh, gratinoya, counselor.

I can hope it was fast. Now, in this $28 estate, are there any guests outstanding? Well, I owe the drugstore 30¢ for a quarter perfume I bought for my girl. Wait a minute. Quarter perfume. That's pretty extravagant. Most elves give their girl a gram. Well, I guess I'm one of those fellows who just don't give a dram. Hey. Here's me a picture. Here's a picture. Name is Gladys. Isn't she beautiful? Yes. She is. She's got pretty eyes, hasn't she? Yeah. Her eyes are very pretty. Which do you like better? The brown one or the blue one? I can't decide.
The blue one fascinates me. But then again, the brown one goes nicely with the truck she's driving on. Can you stick to the case, Castello? Are there any other outstanding debts against the estate? Yes, sir. I still don't have it. 10¢ for the tick to get me to see up in Central Park. Damn, Sam. Where did you say? Up in Central Park. Now are there any other provisions you wish to make? Well, listen. If if I am taken away, someone will have to look after my little friend. For instance, for breakfast, Rover must get a bone. Oh, okay. A little a bone for over. Go ahead. Yes. And Tabby, just a little warm milk. Well, okay. Warm milk for Tabby. And for Flossy, just orange juice and toast. Orange juice and toast? Yeah. Flossey's my sister. Oh.

He thinks he's an apartment. All he has on is a pair of shorts. Well, he's probably unfurnished. I look at it. I'll give you my $28. Just get me out of here. No. This must be legitimate. I just want you to tell the professor that, you know, that you can't, now don't interrupt. Tell the professor that you can't remember. You can't make it. You're going off your what's that? What do you want? Don't look now. But is that a horse standing over there? Tell me it's a horse. Don't be afraid. Go over and pet him. Okay. Please, sir. Don't touch my horse. You guys be terribly upset. Something wrong? I'll show you.
Darvin, would you care for a lump of sugar? Merci. No. Did you guys not dispute? Well, tell me what you care for the most. No. No. No. No. It was lame bum. You see why I'm worried?

Oh, goodbye, professor. Nice seeing you. You dropped dead.
Hey. What's with that guy? A split personality. Which of you need help? I do. I can't find my way out of here. Hold on, Gustetta. Oh, professor. This is the young man I told you about. You know, the one with the m o n e y. Who's got the mumps? Oh, yes. As I recall. Now just what was your trouble? Anytime I do something wrong or tell a lie, I hear music. Very unusual case. Kindly answer these routine questions. Name? Hastello. Born. Once. Height? Five foot two. Width? Five foot two. Chest? Five foot two. There's no use wasting your time. I'm the same in all directions. You set up, please.
Age? 24. Next? Never. Like an ostrich. Hey. I hear that music again. That's what I was telling you about, professor. He's hopeless, isn't he? Only a further examination will justify a conclusion. Now in your family history, is there anything that you could consider abnormal? Oh, no, sir. What do you mean no, sir? What about that aunt of yours who sits in the street banging the cement with a mallet? Well, that's not her fault. Her husband told her to hit the road. Please, none of this bickering. Now, miss Costello, please lie down here. And now relax. Let yourself go. Tell me everything about yourself. Think back through the years. I'm a little bare faced boy skipping merrily over Smith And Dale to the little red schoolhouse.
I'm hurrying toward it faster, faster. I don't want to be late. I've never been so happy in my life. The school is on fire. Uh-uh. Persecution complex. Continue. I see myself now. I am 16 and coming home from high school. I'm coming home from the third grade. I had a swell day at the reform school, walking down the road as little Poinsettia Fetelhopper whose father's with Fetelhopper. I'm a pluck a retinist in a spin. Oh, no. No more of that. I'm carrying little Poinsettia's books. Suddenly, out of the woods come four bears. They knocked me down. Two sit on my arms and two sit on my legs. And you're terrified? Not at all. They just wanna sit around and chew the fact. Uh-huh. Alright, Shazelle. You set it up for $28. 20 8 dollars? What are you talking about, mister Aberdeus?
I told you over the phone I split at the state with you tonight. Estate? Yeah. You mean we went to all this trouble to convince your best friend, screwy, have a lawyer, draw our papers, have me set up an office, all this for measly $28? Well, you see, here. Mhmm. Schizophrenia Paragoric. What that means, professor? Mister Abbott, you lie down on the couch. Yes. You lie down on the couch. Now tell us, what's your name? What's your sex? What Caucasian are you? What's your
