Topper

Bucket!

Oh, bucket.

George.

George!

George, I think it was pretty mean of you

to drag us out and leave all our guests flat.

Oh, you didn't drag us out?

Well, I didn't invite them.

You didn't even know them?

Well, they've only been there for three days.

George.

George!

- Wait a minute, I'll be back in a minute, honey.

What do you want?

What time is it?

Huh?

I said, where we going?

That isn't what you said before.

Too many words, honey.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

- Well, let's see. It's 10:00 now.

Yep.

And it takes a half an hour to drive in.

Yep.

- And the meeting's at 10:30 in the morning.

Mm-hmm.

That leaves 12 hours for

for a night of complete rest.

Yes!

Mm-hmm.

So this is how one starts getting a night's rest?

My pet, resting is the sort of thing

you've gotta work up to gradually.

Oh, excuse me.

It's very dangerous to rest all of a sudden.

Come on, darling.

Mr. Kerby is here, hurry.

Yes, sir.

Good evening, Mrs. Kerby.

Hello, Joe.

We have a nice big size table for you.

Over there.

- Hi, Mac. - Hello, George.

How are you, George?

Thank you, Harry.

Good evening, Mrs. Kerby.

Hello, George.

Come on, the music's swell.

What?

I said the music's swell!

Can't hear you, but I love the music.

That's what I said.

May I cut in?

Is this the way in?

Looks like it.

Well, how do we get out?

- Honey, you slide in and they carry you out.

Oh, no.

Where I go, you go.

No, hey, wait for me.

Hup!

Don't forget to write.

Gentle George.

Deceitful George.

Yeah!

Quiet!

Yeah.

Yeah, and look at the time.

Look at the time, the end.

Please, Mr. Kerby.

Take your girl home, please.

Look, Mr. Kerby, you are my best customer.

And I appreciate that.

Maybe you got no home.

Maybe you don't need sleep.

But me, I have a home

and I need to have some sleep!

All right, Tony.

Just one more chorus.

- You're telling me the same story for the last hour.

I get-a sick and tired of hearing that song

over and over again!

Yes, good night!

Maybe the poor man's tired.

I don't know why he should be tired.

We did all the singing.

Good night Hoagy!

So long, see you next time.

Come on, clean up.

Get in, honey.

Ah, Jimmy.

Did we keep you waiting long?

Oh, that's all right.

Wilson!

Old Man Wilson, that squares us up

for the whole week.

Right, Mr. Kerby.

- Hey, George, is this 10:30 in the morning?

No, this is Topper's bank.

Oh.

Honey, do me a favor.

What?

Shut my eyes.

I'll shut your mouth.

Good night, my pet.

Good night.

Hey, hey, hey.

- Oh, hello. You going to a costume ball?

What do you think this is, an auto camp?

Crosspatch, crosspatch.

C'mon, get out of here now.

You can't sleep here.

I'm not sleeping.

Talk to him about it.

He seems to be doing it all.

Oh, hush, Marion.

Who have you dug up now?

I didn't dig him up.

He dug us up.

Make him go away.

I can't, it's a C-O-P.

C-O-P? Oh!

Tell him we don't want any.

Hey, hey, hey!

Flies.

- C'mon, get out of here now. You can't sleep here.

Uh, we're not sleeping, we're waiting.

Waitin' for what?

- For the annual meeting of the board of directors

of that there bank.

- Oh, darn. There's nobody in there.

Maybe they're late.

Maybe they're late.

You see, you can't argue with him.

No, I can't, eh?

Now I wanna tell you something

See what you can do with this instead.

Well, of all the

Oh!

Temper.

It's three minutes after 8:00, sir.

Oh, all right, Wilkins.

Do you realize that most men don't get

chased out of the water like trained seals?

Most men can dawdle in their shower.

You are not most men, sir.

Why can't I be most men?

Because you are Mr. Topper, sir.

And Mrs. Topper insists.

It's four minutes past.

We dress now.

We dress now, yeah.

Good morning, Clara.

Good morning, dear.

You're late.

Oh, better late than never.

Only 44 seconds anyhow.

Can't that fella wait until

I tell him what I want?

Because you always have the same thing.

- Supposing one morning I were to take a notion

to battle a trout...

or some oatmeal or something?

Where would we be then?

Don't be silly.

I've taken great pains to arrange your diet properly.
