Well, l didn't have anything else to do,
so l thought l'd drop in and see you.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

What have you got there?



l brought you some hard-boiled eggs
and some nuts.

Now, you know l can't eat
hard-boiled eggs and nuts.

lf you wanted to bring something,
why not bring a box of candy?

They cost too much.

What has that got to do with it?

You didn't pay me
for the last box l brought you.

- Have one?
- No. l'd rather not.

Hard-boiled eggs and nuts!

Hmm!

(Clang)

Don't put your hand in there,
l have to drink that water!

(Clang)

Ah!

Yes, ma'am.

How long do you think l'll be in here?

(Doctor) Oh, at least a couple of months.

(Ollie) Gee, that's great. This is
the first time l've had such a wonderful rest.

You may go. Get out of here!

Most embarrassing!

As for you, get your clothes on and get out
of here at once! Do you understand?

(Door slams)

You had nothing else to do,

so you thought
you'd come around and see me.

Here l was for the first time in my life,

having a nice, peaceful time,

and you had to come and spoil it.

Get my clothes.

Mm-hm!

Hard-boiled eggs and nuts!

Hmm!

(Crash)

- Oh-ho!

You know you can't get them over that foot!

Get the scissors and cut the leg off.

The leg of the pants!

Oh!

Get me the scissors.

Hind to front.

(Laughing)

Congratulate me, Hardy, old thing.

The doctor says l may go home.

That's great. l'm going home too.

How perfectly ripping!

Oh-ho-ho! Give me those scissors!

Oh!

l'm all a-flutter.

- Hardy, old bean, what do you think?
- What?

l have on your trousers by mistake.

Oh, l say!

Excuse me.

Oh... (Laughs)

Miss Wallace, will you refill this, please?
The visitor in room 1 4 sat on it.

He'll sleep for a month.

Wait a minute. l'll drive.

Wait a minute. l'll stay right here.

Well, well? Come on, let's get going.

(Horns blaring)

Aaah!

Just there...!

Oh! Why don't you watch that...!

Mind that one.

Aah! Oh! Oh-oh!

Keep on that side. Look thataway!

Brake!

Turn around there.

- Look where you're going!

Aaah! No!

(Yelling)

Aaah!
