Terror in the Wax Museum

What is it Karkov?

You were so fond of her.

Oh, I am sorry.

She can't stay with us.

She must be destroyed.

There's an unfortunate flaw in her pristine beauty.

You know I always insist on perfection.

Dupree, get it over with.

Wax thou art and unto wax you shall return.

Dupree, my time is valuable.

I apologize for keeping you waiting, Mr. Burns.

As you can see, my work goes on long after

the museum is closed.

Let's get down to business.

I have the bank draft and the papers right here.

Oh yes, the papers.

Can we discuss it upstairs in the museum?

Upstairs, downstairs, what difference does it make?

You know, this is the third time I've been back here.

Yes, yes, I quite understand.

You've been most patient.

This way.

Poor Karkov.

He becomes so deeply attached to all the members

of our family.

He's really a most sensitive creature.

Yeah, I can see that.

All right, come on, let's go, let's go.

The guillotine!

At the Place de la Revolution.

And the unfortunate Marie Antoinette.

Authentic in every detail.

Even the guillotine was imported from France.

Her hair turned completely white

shortly before the execution, you know.

Here you are.

Dupree.

You gonna make a deal with me or not?

Lizzy Borden, a country woman of yours, Mr. Burns.

Fall River, Massachusetts.

And, (mumbles) in the 1800s--

I've had the tour and lecture, thank you.

This is where Bloody Queen Mary sat.

The setting was excellent, but there was an imperfection

on the left side of her face that I detected only today.

It's a pity she had to be destroyed.

Well, she looked good enough to me.

I've made an exhaustive life study

of these famous and infamous people.

I know every intimate detail of their lives

and their physical makeups.

I feel I'm actually living with them.

It could be that you've lived with them for too long.

Perhaps.

Lately, strange things have occurred.

Oh, what kind of strange things?

Look at Jack the Ripper.

It's as if he knows what I'm contemplating.

He doesn't want me to sell.

Dupree, that's hog wash.

None of them want me to sell.

They like it here.

We've been together so long.

Look, my operation in New York is very big.

It's just off Broadway.

Now, I'll set the figures up exactly as they're set up here.

Your friends won't know the difference, believe me.

Then there's poor Karkov.

I'm not buying any live monsters, just wax ones.

The poor fellow knows nothing but this museum.

There are institutions for freaks like that.

Now, let's get these papers signed.

Mr. Burns, may I ask for one more night

to think it over?

All right, all right, I'll give you one more night.

But, it's the last time I'm coming back, I promise you.

I assure you the matter

will be resolved in the morning.

Just a minute.

Are you stalling me just to jack up the price?

Oh no, no, your offer's quite fair.

All right.

Thank you and good night, Mr. Burns.

Good night.

I'll see you in the morning.

First damn thing.

Good evening, governor.

What's your pleasure?

Uh, half and half and send the boss over, will ya?

You're looking at the owner himself, governor.

Tim Fowley.

Oh, doesn't that gal know any cheerful songs?

I just came from that spooky joint next door.

Oh, I don't blame you

for wanting a bit of cheer, governor.

That's the den of fiends and loonies that is.

Bad enough in the daytime.

I wouldn't fancy it at night.

Tell me something, how well do you know Dupree?

Oh better than I ever knew my old man.

Dupree's a tenant of mine.

I own the building.

Was he always crazy or is he just going off his rocker

due to old age?

Well, he may be a bit peculiar on and off,

but gentle and harmless as a tabby cat.

Ah, he's a good ol' boy.

There you are, governor.

Oh, thanks.

How do you get her to stop that funeral dirge?

Oh, oh, and it's a long one, governor.

The only thing that shuts Laurie off is when some bloke

takes a fancy to her and stands on a drink or two.

I take a fancy to her but not that lousy song.

Good night, Laurie.

Cheerio, Mr. Fowley.

Thanks, love.

Can I give you a lift?

I'm sure you could, governor, but not tonight.

Oh, come on, I'll treat you right.

No doubt, but my engagement book's full up.

Pop around in a day or so, there's a love.

All right, in a day or so.

Good night, Karkov.

You've betrayed us.

No, no.

No, I wouldn't do that to you, Jack.

Believe me, I wouldn't.

Please believe me.

Betrayer.

traitor!

Liar, Dupree.

No, Lizzy, no, I didn't lie to you.

Please believe me, I didn't lie to you, Lizzy.

Liar.

I wouldn't lie to you, Lizzy.

Please believe me!

Liar.

Dupree, we won't let you sell.

Dupree.

Oh, but I'm not going to sell.

I was talking about it, but I decided against it.

Liar.

Please believe me.

Please!

Betrayer.

Liar, liar.

Traitor, Judas.

Traitor.

Liar.

You've betrayed us.
