Walking the Baby (1933) - full transcript

Street-sweeper George flirts with a pretty, but dizzy, nursemaid in the park. Incorporates Burns & Allen's vaudeville "dizzy" routine.

James you're fired.

Yes sir.

Screw off.

Yes sir.

Well, well, well, hello!

Well, well, well
George, how are you today?

Glad to see you Harry.

I'm glad to see you sir.

Glad to see you on the
job, bright and early.

Have to work you know.

Oh yes.



It's a nice day isn't it Harry?

Yes, George, I think
it's a very nice day.

I just think it's lovely today.

You know, I would, eh...

Looks like it's going
to rain a bit Harry.

Oh, what's the matter
Mary, you don't look good.

Oh, I feel terrible.

Aww.

My boss told me
today that if I didn't

kiss him, he'd fire me.

A girl hasn't got
a chance at all.

Oh don't be silly,
you have two chances.

Either you kiss him
or you don't kiss him.

I know, but what
if I don't kiss him?



Well, you still
have two chances.

Either you get fired
or you don't get fired.

Well, what if I get fired?

Well, uh, well you
still have two chances.

Either you starve
or you don't starve.

Alright, but what if I starve?

Well, uh, you still
have two chances.

Either you die or you don't die.

Well, what if I die?

You still have two chances.

Either you go to heaven, or you,

oh well you better
kiss your boss.

Well I never heard
of anything so foolish

in my whole life.

Aww, well you're silly.

What's the matter Harry?

Well you don't look good.

Well, I lost quite a
bit of money at bridge.

Bridge? Huh, never lose.

That's because you
haven't got a system.

With me, everything
has a system.

Never lose money in
bridge, a system.

Never lose money
in poker, a system.

Any kind of a card
game, a system.

Even a horse has a
system, you know Harry.

Eat the right kind of food,
never get sick, a system.

Eh, flirt with women, never
get my face slapped, a system.

My whole live consists of,
everything is a system.

Yeah? Say that's alright.

Tell me one of them will ya?

Which one?

Well, the one about
flirting with the girls.

Flirting with the girls.

Yeah.

Well, the first thing
you do, you pick out a name

that no girl in the world has,
let's say, Mamie Dittenfest.

A girl passes, you tip your
hat, you say, I beg your

pardon, is your name
Mamie Dittenfest?

And she says no.

You say you look like Mamie,
she says I'm not Mamie,

and the first thing you know,
the girl takes you out to eat.

It's a cinch.

Say, that's an idea, George,
oh by the way here comes a

pretty girl now, let's try it.

Want to try it?

Yeah.

Alright.

I beg your pardon, is your
name Mamie Dittenfest?

Yes!

It is?

Well, uh
I'll see ya later.

Well, I'll see ya later.

Oh now wait just a minute,
aren't you the fella,

who took me into a restaurant
to eat, and aren't you

the fella paid the $2.00 bill?

Well when I left that
restaurant I found $10.00

missing out of my handbag.

I'm not saying you
took the money,

but I wish you'd pay me back.

Well look, just a minute,
you have the details all wrong.

The first place, it wasn't a
restaurant it was a cafeteria.

Second place the check
wasn't $2.00 it was $1.00,

and the third place, you
didn't have $10.00 in your

handbag, you only had five.

I had ten!

Then you owe me five.

Ohhh well, so long.

So, look, I tell you what
if you wait a little while,

I'll take you home in my car.

You know when any goof
ever asks me where

I live I always tell him
I live in the country.

Oh where do you live?

In the country.

Well so long.

So long.

Where are you going now?

Well I'm going over
to my sister's home.

That's funny, you
know where I was going?

No.

My brother's home.

Oh

Now look, when you get
to your sister's home, you

phone my brother's home.

Yeah, my sister
hasn't got a phone.

That's funny, my
brother hasn't got a home.

Oh, You're silly.

Well so long.

So long.

So long.

So long.

Oh, you're silly.

Alright I'll be
silly then be dizzy.

Yeah, well I know I'm dizzy.

That's why you,
I like you because

you're a nice little dizzy girl.

Yeah I know I'm dizzy,
I'm glad I'm dizzy.

You're the only dizzy
girl that I know that's

glad she's dizzy.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm a
dizzy girl because boys like

dizzy girls and I like boys.

Well I'm glad it's over,
I'm glad it's finished.

I'll just, now there, and
then up and then you turn it

over and then, there it is,
now you take your hat off

and you put it on
and you're a clown.

Well there you are,

Yeah.

I bet you were a cute baby.

Well I'll tell you something
that might surprise you,

when I was a baby
I was very young.

Is that so?

Yes.

Well look.

What's that?

Surprise.

Oh

You know I haven't been in
Buffalo since I was a baby.

Is that so?

No.

You know a very
funny thing happened

to my mother in Buffalo?

Oh yeah, I thought you
were born in Detroit.

In Detroit, say, what
street were you born on?

I wasn't born in the street,
I was born in a hospital.

In the hospital?

Yeah.

What's the matter were you sick?

Oh me sick, oh no, I
wanted to be near my mother.

Near your mother,
that's very good.

So how old is this baby?

Oh six months.

Six months?

Looks like six years.

Yeah well you see
the baby worries a lot.

The baby worries?

Yeah!

What does a little baby
like that got to worry about?

Well he worries over
his mother and father,

you see they're always fighting.

The mother insists that the
baby looks like the father

and the father insists that
the baby looks like mother

and the baby's worried
because it doesn't want to

look like either one of them.

Come, let's get some peanuts.

Oh I don't want any more.

Double order please.

Oh I couldn't have any more.

Well go on, just have it and

I'll save this for you later.

Oh there goes that baby again.

Oh I know what it
is, it's feeding time.

Right temperature?

Yeah, that's the
right temperature.

So the baby likes milk.

Yeah it's funny,
I don't like milk.

You don't like milk?

I like peanuts.

You like peanuts.

Yeah, certainly is a
small world isn't it?

I think so.

Say oh, I can't go
any further than this.

Well let's turn around.

We've gotta go around.

You turn around first
and I'll turn around.

Do you come out every day?

Oh yes, every day.

great, much obliged.

Oh, don't mention it Harry.

Well I guess the system was bad.

Yes.

So what does your
boss do for a living?

Well my brother's a detective.

last week, a murder case

and he got his man
