Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Sergeant Joe Fink, working the 24-hour shift out of Homicide, and this is
00:00:07my workshop, the part of town that everybody knows about but that nobody wants to see,
00:00:12where the tragedies are deeper, the ecstasies wilder, and the crime rate consistently higher
00:00:16than anywhere else.
00:00:18Skid Row, my beat.
00:00:30Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid
00:01:00Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row.
00:01:30The most terrifying period in the history of my beat began in a little run-down floor
00:01:37shop called Mushnick's.
00:01:40Ah, good morning, Mrs. Shiver.
00:01:45How's things today?
00:01:46Oh, the same as usual, Mr. Mushnick.
00:01:47My sister's nephew Stanley died in Little Rock, Arkansas.
00:01:48Oh, what happened?
00:01:49He got blown up.
00:01:50Who knows how?
00:01:51That's nice.
00:01:52Well, you would like maybe, as usual, some flowers for the funeral.
00:02:05I thought possibly because I always give to you all my funeral business, maybe you should
00:02:11possibly give to me a little cut rate.
00:02:14Look on me, Mrs. Shiver, what am I, a philatelist?
00:02:18I sell on Skid Row nothing but cheap carnations.
00:02:21And I should give you a cut rate.
00:02:23I can't even afford water for the flowers.
00:02:25To my throat, I would be giving a cut.
00:02:26I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls with vassals...
00:02:27Shut up from the back!
00:02:28Excuse me, Mrs. Shiver, that Seymour...
00:02:29He's a nice boy.
00:02:30Why don't you let him sing?
00:02:31What sing?
00:02:32Look, here I got a new customer, brand new in the yellow vest.
00:02:47I should let the clean up boy, but I can't even afford chase him out right away.
00:02:56Flowers fresh as the springtime, Mushnick's, hello?
00:02:58Oh, hello, Dr. Farr.
00:02:59What can I do for you today?
00:03:00Listen, Mushnick, I haven't got much time.
00:03:03Send me over two gladiolas and a fern.
00:03:06Excellent.
00:03:07That's two dozen glads, one pot at five.
00:03:09No, no, no, Mushnick, two gladiolas and one fern.
00:03:14You want, I should put two gladiolas in the pot with the ferns.
00:03:18No, one fern, one piece altogether, three pieces.
00:03:22I need it for my waiting room.
00:03:24What?
00:03:25Good, I'll drill a bigger hole.
00:03:29You mean you want two crummy gladiolas and one crummy fern?
00:03:32What kind of a decoration is that?
00:03:34Listen, it's my flower budget for the week, Mushnick.
00:03:38Who can be a dentist on Skid Row?
00:03:40All right, excellent.
00:03:41I'll send Seymour right away.
00:03:42Who am I to argue with science?
00:03:44Hmm, make it snappy.
00:03:47Now you are going to get it.
00:03:49Oh, you are going to get it.
00:03:52Look.
00:03:54Ah!
00:03:56Seymour Krelborn?
00:03:58Now, Mrs. Shiver, we were talking from the funeral flowers,
00:04:01but the little of...
00:04:03More funerals!
00:04:06Did you call me, Mr. Mushnick?
00:04:07No, I was calling John D. Rockefeller
00:04:10for to make a loan on my Rolls Royce.
00:04:12Sorry, I said it.
00:04:14Now, look, Seymour.
00:04:16You take two gladiolas.
00:04:18You'll cut them nice and even.
00:04:20You'll take one for him.
00:04:21You'll wrap them in a package,
00:04:22and you'll take them to Dr. Farr.
00:04:24Right?
00:04:26They'll go already!
00:04:28Now, what can I do for you, sir?
00:04:30My name is Burson Fouch.
00:04:31Excellent.
00:04:32I am Gravis Mushnick.
00:04:33Oh, that's a good one.
00:04:34Now, who's going to get my roses?
00:04:36I'll take care of you, Mrs. Shiver.
00:04:38Come right over here.
00:04:40You would like maybe some orchids for a nice girl?
00:04:43No, I think I'd like a couple of dozen carnations.
00:04:45Carnations!
00:04:47Burson can't find around these days
00:04:49that somebody shouldn't drop dead.
00:04:51You've had more than your share of bad luck, Mrs. Shiver.
00:04:53Bad luck, she calls it.
00:04:55You should have so many people kick off.
00:04:57You'd have somebody fall on top of you, too.
00:04:59What about the carnations?
00:05:01You said you wanted some roses.
00:05:03Yeah, for Stanley.
00:05:06My carnations.
00:05:10You should see what that Seymour is...
00:05:12Oh, here are your carnations.
00:05:14Wait, I'll wrap them for you.
00:05:16No, that's all right. I'll leave them here.
00:05:22Why not?
00:05:26Of course, what else?
00:05:28They are all right?
00:05:30Well, I've had better.
00:05:31Well, this is a small shop.
00:05:33That's okay.
00:05:35You know, those big places, they're full of pretty flowers,
00:05:37expensive flowers.
00:05:39When you raise them for looks and smell,
00:05:41you're bound to lose some food value.
00:05:43I like to eat in these little out-of-the-way places.
00:05:45Such a thing, eating flowers.
00:05:47Look, don't knock it until you try it, huh?
00:05:49Look what happened.
00:05:53This is what I was trying to tell you before.
00:05:55Look on him, everybody.
00:05:57Look at the quality of his work.
00:05:59I ask you, when I fired him,
00:06:01where is he going to get such another good job?
00:06:03You mean I'm fired?
00:06:05No, I'm electing you president from the United States.
00:06:07Yes, you are fired!
00:06:09Gravis, you can't do that.
00:06:11Who, who can't?
00:06:13I didn't mean it.
00:06:15You didn't mean it. You never mean it.
00:06:17You didn't mean it the time you put up the bouquet
00:06:19with the get-well card in the funeral parlor
00:06:21and sent the black lilies to the old lady in the hospital.
00:06:24You didn't mean it.
00:06:26But this time, I, Gravis Mushnick, mean it!
00:06:29He means it.
00:06:31But, gee, Mr. Mushnick,
00:06:33don't I always try to do what's right?
00:06:35And I'm crazy about flowers.
00:06:37I like flowers almost as much as Audrey does.
00:06:39Excellent. You're fired.
00:06:41Why don't you give him a chance to resurrect himself?
00:06:43I give him a chance to quit.
00:06:45I ain't gonna quit.
00:06:47You're a brave boy. You're fired.
00:06:49But that ain't fair, Mr. Mushnick.
00:06:51You know what I'm doing?
00:06:53I'm working on a special surprise plant just for you.
00:06:56I'm growing a plant like you ain't never seen before.
00:06:58Excellent! I can't even sell the plants I got in my shop.
00:07:00Out, you!
00:07:02Now, wait a minute.
00:07:04He's got a new kind of plant you ought to look at.
00:07:06I don't look on flowers, Mr. Yellow Vest.
00:07:08I got ancestors in the flower business for 200 years,
00:07:10but I got one shop on Skid Row, one stinking shop.
00:07:12I don't even like flowers!
00:07:14You don't understand what I mean.
00:07:16Look, I've eaten in flower shops all over the world,
00:07:18and I've noticed that the places that have the most weird
00:07:20and unusual plants do the best business.
00:07:22See? See? See?
00:07:25What is this, a tango?
00:07:27All right.
00:07:29Explain me more.
00:07:31Well, I remember one place that had a whole wall
00:07:33covered with poison ivy.
00:07:35People came from miles around to look at that wall,
00:07:37and they stayed to buy.
00:07:39The owner got rich? No.
00:07:41He scratched himself to death in an insane asylum.
00:07:43That was my cousin Harry.
00:07:45All right.
00:07:47All right.
00:07:49You go home, and you get this fancy schmancy plant,
00:07:51and you bring it back here,
00:07:53and if he doubts, says it's a draw, you still got a job.
00:07:55If he don't doubt, you go to Bodie, right?
00:07:57Don't worry. You'll like it. You'll see.
00:08:17This is radio KSIK.
00:08:20You've been listening to music for old invalids.
00:08:23Our next selection is entitled Sick Room Serenade.
00:08:27Seymour, is that you?
00:08:29Yeah, Ma.
00:08:31Get in here. Look at my tongue.
00:08:33But, Ma, I already seen your tongue.
00:08:36Have you no sympathy for your poor mother,
00:08:39laughing at her and mocking her illness,
00:08:42and she's got one foot in the grave?
00:08:44Oh, I didn't mean it.
00:08:46Oh, you never mean it. Come on. Look at my tongue.
00:08:49A tongue's a tongue, Ma. They all look the same to me.
00:08:52Oh, did you stop at Dr. Mallard's
00:08:54and get the results of my tests?
00:08:56Yeah. He said there's nothing wrong with you.
00:08:58Oh, no, Dr. Mallard.
00:09:00He's one doctor I thought would tell the truth.
00:09:02He said you should be playing fullback for the Rams.
00:09:04He wants me dead.
00:09:06I'll bet he's assistant coroner.
00:09:08Ma, I gotta go.
00:09:10And I know I've got my goiters coming back.
00:09:12I can feel it every morning after breakfast.
00:09:14Yeah, that's when you take those great...
00:09:16Oh!
00:09:18What you got, a little surprise for me?
00:09:20Open it up and see.
00:09:22All right.
00:09:24Oh!
00:09:28Dr. Slurpsaddle's famous tonic.
00:09:31Wait here.
00:09:35To be taken internally or externally
00:09:38for pain and neuritis, neuralgia, headache.
00:09:42If hit by a truck, call your physician.
00:09:45Alcoholic content 98%.
00:09:49Ha-ha!
00:09:51Oh, Seymour,
00:09:53you'll never know what this is gonna do for me.
00:10:02Oh, I can feel that surge of warm health
00:10:06going through me already.
00:10:08Look, Ma, I gotta get my plant and hurry back to the shop.
00:10:11You mean that lousy weed out in the kitchen?
00:10:13Yeah, and if Mr. Mushnick doesn't like it,
00:10:15he's gonna fire me.
00:10:17Apparently, my hearing is going out on me.
00:10:21I get the distinct impression it's your job security.
00:10:25Depends on what Mushnick thinks of that thing.
00:10:28Gee, it looks worse than it did this morning when I went to work.
00:10:31I wish I knew what to do with it.
00:10:33Well, if you asked me, I'd pitch it out in the trash.
00:10:35I don't like my house cluttered up with rotten vegetables.
00:10:38Look, Ma, I gotta hurry. Can I bring you anything?
00:10:40Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:42Bring me the evening news.
00:10:44They're running a self-diagnosis contest.
00:10:47The winner gets to go to Mayo Clinic.
00:10:50Bye, Ma.
00:10:51Bye, son. I'll see you in the rosy edge of dawn.
00:10:55Drink to me, oh, beware thy eyes,
00:10:59and I will...
00:11:05Hey, put this on my bill.
00:11:08Well, here it is, everybody.
00:11:10What do you think of it?
00:11:12Well, it sure is different.
00:11:14It looks delicious, but don't you think it's kind of stale?
00:11:16Well, it hasn't been feeling too well.
00:11:18You call that a fancy plant?
00:11:20It looks like it never spent an LT day in its entire life.
00:11:23I don't care. I like it anyway.
00:11:25You? You like even skunk cabbage?
00:11:27Yeah.
00:11:28What kind of a plant is this, Seymour?
00:11:30Well, I'm not sure.
00:11:32I got the seeds from a Japanese gardener over on Central Avenue.
00:11:35He found them in with an order he got from a plantation next to a cranberry farm.
00:11:38Fine, fine. You don't even know what is this plant you're growing.
00:11:42Well, I gave it a name.
00:11:44What name?
00:11:45Audrey...
00:11:46What? You gave it a dirty name? You can't even mention it?
00:11:49Well, I named it Audrey Jr.
00:11:52You named it after me?
00:11:55Oh, really?
00:11:56That's the most exciting thing anyone's ever done to me.
00:11:59You poor kid.
00:12:00I don't think it's so much I should keep on spending
00:12:03$10 a week on your salary.
00:12:05But, Gravis, he named it after me.
00:12:07I know, and if they keep it, they'll name it Mushnick's Folly
00:12:10because I'll be in jail for nonpayment of taxes.
00:12:12Are you crazy?
00:12:13Who, who?
00:12:14You, you.
00:12:15That's probably the only plant of its kind in the world.
00:12:17Don't you realize if Seymour can nurse that thing back to health,
00:12:19you'll have people coming here from all over?
00:12:21You think so, you foul?
00:12:22I know so, you mushnick.
00:12:23Now, that's all I'm saying on the subject.
00:12:25Besides, I've got to get home. My wife's making gardenias for dinner.
00:12:29Good night, you foul.
00:12:30Good night.
00:12:31Good night, you foul.
00:12:32Good night, and I'll see you tomorrow.
00:12:34Crazy about kosher flowers.
00:12:37He's a nice man.
00:12:39Maybe he knows what he's talking about.
00:12:41Maybe he's not so stupid.
00:12:43I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:12:45I'll keep you and this dumbbell junior for a week.
00:12:48If you can nurse it back to health, you both can stay.
00:12:50If you can't, you're both fired.
00:12:52Oh, gee, thank you, Mr. Mushnick.
00:12:57Don't feel sad, Seymour.
00:13:00Don't waste your pity on me, Audrey. I'm not worth it.
00:13:03Who says you're not?
00:13:05Everybody.
00:13:07Yeah, I know.
00:13:09But I think you're a fine figurative of a man,
00:13:12and I know that Audrey Jr. will be the sweetest thing in the whole wide world.
00:13:17Well, I don't know.
00:13:19I've given it every kind of fancy fertilizer and atomic plant food
00:13:23and distilled mineral water you can buy,
00:13:25but it just gets sicker and sicker.
00:13:27Don't worry.
00:13:29You're gonna be another Luther Glendale.
00:13:31Pasadena.
00:13:33Burbank.
00:13:35Good night, Seymour.
00:13:37Good night, Audrey.
00:13:47What's the matter, little plant?
00:13:49Haven't I done everything I could for you?
00:13:52Where did I goof?
00:13:55You're the first little plant I ever tried to grow,
00:13:58and if you die, I don't know what I'll do.
00:14:00Please don't die.
00:14:04I'll get you some water, okay?
00:14:24Oh, gee.
00:14:26You opened up just like you do every night at sunset.
00:14:29I wish I knew how to make you grow.
00:14:32Here, let me move this out of your way so you can breathe.
00:14:35Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow!
00:14:39Hey, what happened?
00:14:41How come you woke up?
00:14:43Blood?
00:14:45You like blood?
00:14:48Oh, you must be kidding.
00:14:51Well, we'll see.
00:14:55I don't know what I'm doing for you.
00:15:00Ow!
00:15:08Oh, who would have thought it?
00:15:11Well, I guess there's just no accounting for people's tastes.
00:15:25Seymour!
00:15:27My boy!
00:15:29You're the most magnanimous person in the whole world!
00:15:32Look on him, Audrey. Isn't he beautiful?
00:15:34Isn't he delicious? Isn't he got the $2 raise?
00:15:37What happened to your fingers?
00:15:39Bee stings. So how come I'm all of a sudden so wonderful?
00:15:42Five bees? One for each finger?
00:15:44Ten bees. Did you say I was getting a $2 raise?
00:15:47Correct, my very excellent Seymour. Ten bees.
00:15:50What did I do now?
00:15:52Don't you know what you did?
00:15:54Just look.
00:15:56Oh, boy, look at that.
00:15:58It grew. It's almost a foot long.
00:16:01Isn't it empirical?
00:16:03It grows like a cold sore from the lip.
00:16:06Oh, hello, young pretty ladies.
00:16:08What can Gravis Mushnick do for you?
00:16:10Well, we saw your sign outside about the Audrey Jr.
00:16:12So we thought we'd come in and take a look.
00:16:14Well, give a look.
00:16:16That makes four people today who've come in just to look at it.
00:16:19Is that just too much?
00:16:21Oh, what kind of plant is it?
00:16:23It's an Audrey Jr.
00:16:25Where was it you got in trouble with ten bees?
00:16:27Well, is that all? I mean, doesn't it have a scientific name?
00:16:29Yes, of course, but who could denounce it?
00:16:31You would like maybe to buy something.
00:16:33Well, we don't have any money.
00:16:35Except $2,000.
00:16:37But that's just to spend on flowers.
00:16:39So we don't have any of our own.
00:16:41Isn't that a drag?
00:16:43You got your $2,000 just for to spend on flowers?
00:16:46That's right.
00:16:48Who died? The Chamber of Commerce?
00:16:50Well, we're from Cucamonga High School.
00:16:52And we're building a float for the Rose Bowl Parade.
00:16:54Which is made out of flowers.
00:16:56Thousands of them.
00:16:58And we're on the committee that picks the florist.
00:17:00And then glues on the flowers.
00:17:02Gee, that sure is a mad plant.
00:17:04Wow, yeah.
00:17:06Seymour here invented it.
00:17:08He did?
00:17:10Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls,
00:17:12please don't damage the horticulturist.
00:17:14Tell me, how come you don't buy all these
00:17:16thousands of flowers from Gravis Mushnik?
00:17:18My flowers got something the others don't.
00:17:20What's that?
00:17:22The cheap.
00:17:24Well, gee, if your shop is good enough to develop the Audrey Jr.
00:17:26I guess it can get us everything we need.
00:17:28Yeah, we'll talk it over with the rest of the committee.
00:17:30Excellent.
00:17:32Well, we gotta run now. Bye, all.
00:17:34Bye, Seymour.
00:17:36Bye. Bye, girls.
00:17:40A son.
00:17:42A son.
00:17:44Look, Audrey, I got a son.
00:17:46Oh, gee, Mr. Mushnik.
00:17:48What, Mr. Mushnik?
00:17:50I don't want you should call me Mr. Mushnik anymore.
00:17:52I want you should call me Dad.
00:17:54Okay, Dad.
00:17:56Isn't that beautiful?
00:17:58Seymour Krelborn, come over here, my son.
00:18:00I want to talk on you about the future.
00:18:02Look on this fly trap.
00:18:04Look on it.
00:18:06Soon we got no more skid row.
00:18:08We will be rich, us.
00:18:10I am building for you a giant greenhouse
00:18:12in which you are making impossible flowers,
00:18:14which, in turn, I am selling
00:18:16at ridiculous prices
00:18:18in my giant new flower saloon
00:18:20in Beverly Hills.
00:18:22Do you see that big sign in the sky?
00:18:24It is saying
00:18:26Gravis Mushnik in French.
00:18:28Isn't it exciting?
00:18:30And we'll have an orchestra
00:18:32right by the cash register,
00:18:34and Gravis will wave his arms,
00:18:36and the orchestra will sing.
00:18:38And I'll come out in a gown
00:18:40wrapped by somebody expensive and say...
00:18:42The carnations are $600 a dozen,
00:18:44two dozen for a thousand.
00:18:46It's a bargain.
00:18:48Get them while they last.
00:18:50Stop shouting.
00:18:52My Uncle Mush's brother Yanko
00:18:54just passed away.
00:18:56He turned to fly New Jersey.
00:18:58Tell me, how much are the carnations today?
00:19:00The carnations are $600 a dozen.
00:19:02And why are they letting him run around loose?
00:19:04I don't know.
00:19:06Why are they letting him run around loose?
00:19:08Please, please, excuse my son, Mrs. Shiver.
00:19:10Just point to anything in the store,
00:19:12and it is yours.
00:19:14That's right.
00:19:16The cash register, maybe, huh?
00:19:18Wait a minute. Here.
00:19:20Here are several dozen carnations
00:19:22on the house
00:19:24courtesy of Gravis Mushnik
00:19:26the Bloom Tycoon.
00:19:28That's my dad.
00:19:30Thanks. Thanks very much.
00:19:32Only tell me,
00:19:34why are you so happy?
00:19:36Not only did my Uncle Mush's brother
00:19:38Yanko die
00:19:40turning to fly New Jersey,
00:19:42you should also give some flowers
00:19:44to that poor dead plant there.
00:19:46Good morning, Mr. Mushnik.
00:19:48Good morning.
00:19:50Good morning, Mrs. Shiver.
00:19:52Look what happened to my plant, Dad.
00:19:54Who are you calling Dad? Who, who?
00:19:56Oh, no.
00:19:58And it was so beautiful just a few seconds ago.
00:20:00Excellent. Just a few seconds ago
00:20:02I gave away dozens of carnations
00:20:04free to Mrs. Shiver.
00:20:06I didn't mean it.
00:20:08You have perhaps an explanation.
00:20:10No, but if you give me a minute, I'll think of one.
00:20:12I can see it all now.
00:20:14We are in the poorhouse.
00:20:16That big sign in the sky,
00:20:18it is reading,
00:20:20Seymour Krelborn, rest in peace.
00:20:22In Arabic!
00:20:24Oh, you've got to give him another chance.
00:20:26You promise me a week, Mr. Mushnik.
00:20:28I'll sit up all night with that plant.
00:20:30And in the morning you'll see.
00:20:32I promise. I promise.
00:20:44Feed me.
00:20:50Feed me.
00:20:54Feed me!
00:21:00You said that. You said that.
00:21:02You said that!
00:21:04Feed me!
00:21:08You said that.
00:21:10You can talk.
00:21:12I got a talking plant.
00:21:14Say it again. Feed me.
00:21:16Oh, boy.
00:21:18I never been to college and I ain't been around much.
00:21:20But I'd have been willing to bet
00:21:22there ain't no such thing as a talking plant.
00:21:24But I'll take your word for it.
00:21:26Gee, Junior, I'd like to feed you.
00:21:28I'd like to feed you.
00:21:30But I used up all my fingers.
00:21:36Look at me. I'm all cut to pieces.
00:21:38But maybe I can find
00:21:40another drop here someplace.
00:21:48That's the best I can do.
00:21:50Murr! Murr!
00:21:52But I'm already anemic.
00:21:54Feed me
00:21:56more!
00:21:58Gee, Junior, I'd be happy
00:22:00to give you anything I got.
00:22:02But I gotta keep a little blood for myself
00:22:04or I'll be in worse shape than Mom.
00:22:06I'm sorry, Junior.
00:22:08I'll go for a walk.
00:22:10Maybe I'll think of something.
00:22:26I'll think of something.
00:22:56Ah!
00:23:06Ah!
00:23:26Ah!
00:23:32Ah!
00:23:42Oh, my God!
00:23:56Oh, my God!
00:24:18Daddy, there's somebody out there.
00:24:26Ah!
00:24:28Ah!
00:24:54Feed me!
00:24:56Feed me!
00:24:58Look, chowhound,
00:25:00don't bother me.
00:25:02I got problems of my own.
00:25:04Feed me!
00:25:06I'm sorry, pal. I'm fresh out of blood.
00:25:08Talk to somebody else.
00:25:10I'm hungry!
00:25:12I don't care what you are.
00:25:14Can't you see I'm knocked out?
00:25:16I just killed a man.
00:25:18I'm a murderer.
00:25:20You think it's fun to be a murderer?
00:25:22You think it's fun to haul around
00:25:24Oh, no, Junior.
00:25:26What kind of guy do you think I am?
00:25:28I'm starved.
00:25:30Well...
00:25:32Maybe just a snack.
00:25:44That looks great.
00:25:54Now, that is what I call a salad.
00:25:56What do you call that salad?
00:25:58Caesarean.
00:26:00Well, before the next course,
00:26:02I think I'll have a nice cigar.
00:26:04All right?
00:26:06You would like maybe a cigar?
00:26:08You don't smoke cigars.
00:26:10What am I thinking about?
00:26:12Where are the matches?
00:26:14Oh, boy.
00:26:16You know what I found?
00:26:18I'm looking for the matches,
00:26:20and I found I left the money
00:26:22in Doris's suit.
00:26:26Here's your mock chicken legs.
00:26:28You don't have any money?
00:26:32So what else is new?
00:26:34All right. All right.
00:26:36I made a mistake.
00:26:38After all, a man is entitled.
00:26:40Go on. This is your story.
00:26:42I'll wait for the punch.
00:26:44Don't get smart with me, girlie.
00:26:46I'll have you know that in my shop
00:26:48in the cash register,
00:26:50I have the total day's receipts,
00:26:52which is summing up to more than $9.
00:26:54You'll bring the rest of the food,
00:26:56then I'll go to the shop
00:26:58and get the money.
00:27:00You're playing my favorite song.
00:27:02Now, look here, buster.
00:27:04One of you is gonna go down right now
00:27:06and get the loot,
00:27:08while the other one stays here
00:27:10until the first one gets back,
00:27:12if you get what I mean.
00:27:14Oh, fine. In this fancy schmancy restaurant,
00:27:16you are holding hostages, right?
00:27:18All right!
00:27:20Excellent.
00:27:22You eat up, Audrey.
00:27:24I'll be back in a flash with the cash.
00:27:26Bye, Gravis.
00:27:28Bye.
00:27:44It is the season to be jolly
00:27:48Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:27:52It is the season to be jolly
00:27:56Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:28:02It is the season to be jolly
00:28:06Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:28:16You're flush now, right?
00:28:18Bring me whiskey, rum, wine, gin, bourbon.
00:28:21What?
00:28:23Scotch, rye, tequila, sake, Manischewitz.
00:28:25Did you bring the money?
00:28:27Don't bug me with the money! I got to get drunk now!
00:28:29What flipped him?
00:28:31I don't know.
00:28:33Here, take it. Bring me anything.
00:28:35Bring me everything. Cram them in. Everything you got.
00:28:37Okay!
00:28:39Gravis, what happened?
00:28:41Don't ask.
00:28:43You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:28:45Ghosts I could handle. Don't ask.
00:28:47Why don't you tell me? Maybe I could help you.
00:28:49Help? You couldn't.
00:28:51Try and eat something. It'll calm your aggravation.
00:28:55In my own shop?
00:28:57Audrey, you wouldn't believe it.
00:28:59I wish you'd break out and tell me.
00:29:01All right, I'll tell you tomorrow,
00:29:03right after I am telling the police.
00:29:07But Mushnick didn't come to the police.
00:29:09If he had,
00:29:11that might have been the finish of the unhappy story.
00:29:13It was not.
00:29:25Hi, Gravis!
00:29:27$85 with the business already,
00:29:29and we've barely opened!
00:29:33What did I tell you?
00:29:35You wouldn't be interested in selling a half-inch
00:29:37just to this place, huh?
00:29:39Mr. Mushnick, we talked to the committee,
00:29:41and they said we could use your flower.
00:29:43On the float? Hey, guess what?
00:29:45We're going to feature Audrey Jr.
00:29:47Right on top! Can't you just feature it?
00:29:49I can't.
00:29:51I've got to go.
00:29:53Right on top! Can't you just feature it?
00:29:55I can feature it.
00:29:57Oh, won't the people just eat it up?
00:29:59Eat up the people.
00:30:01And we're going to have the big part of it open,
00:30:03so she can sit in it.
00:30:05Who? The queen, with her crown and scepter.
00:30:07She'll be so cute.
00:30:09Oh, you could just eat her up.
00:30:11Eat up the girls.
00:30:13Oh, there's Seymour!
00:30:15Oh, I've got a toothache!
00:30:17You come with me.
00:30:19Oh, my jaw! I've got a toothache!
00:30:21Oh, my jaw!
00:30:25Now, Seymour, talk on me.
00:30:27I've got a toothache. What do you want to talk about?
00:30:29That plant.
00:30:31Is that a nice subject for to talk?
00:30:33The plant is great.
00:30:35It's four times bigger than it was yesterday.
00:30:37I saw. I saw. How come the plant is now so big?
00:30:39Oh, I don't know.
00:30:41But look at all them people out there.
00:30:43We've only been open a half hour,
00:30:45and we've already done $70 worth of business.
00:30:47$85. Now, look, Seymour.
00:30:49You gave this plant a fancy name, Audrey Jr.,
00:30:51but I want to know right now,
00:30:53what do just people call it?
00:30:55Well, it's a cross between a Butterworth
00:30:57and a Venus flytrap.
00:30:59Venus flytrap!
00:31:01And what are the habits of this Venus flytrap?
00:31:03Well, the book says it eats insects.
00:31:05It eats them three times in its life,
00:31:07and then it's full-grown.
00:31:09Excellent! And how many times is this one eat?
00:31:11Well, once or twice.
00:31:13You don't remember?
00:31:15Well, this is kind of an unusual-type flytrap.
00:31:17That is a possibility.
00:31:19It may never eat again.
00:31:21I don't see how it could get any bigger.
00:31:23Then you think it don't need any more flies.
00:31:25Yeah.
00:31:29Oh, my tooth is just killing me.
00:31:31All right, excellent.
00:31:33You run along to the dentist.
00:31:35I'll take care of things here.
00:31:37Thanks, boss.
00:31:39Gravis!
00:31:41We've got to order more flowers!
00:31:43Tons of them!
00:31:46I'm making lots of money.
00:32:01Oh, no! Oh, no!
00:32:03Please don't hurt me!
00:32:05Oh, please don't hurt me anymore!
00:32:07I can't stand it!
00:32:09I can't stand it!
00:32:11I can't stand it!
00:32:13I can't stand it!
00:32:15Oh, no! Oh, no!
00:32:17That'll teach you to keep your bill up to date,
00:32:19you deadbeat.
00:32:27Go ahead and run, you sniveling dog.
00:32:29Go ahead and run. I'm glad I hurt you.
00:32:31I'm glad. I'm glad.
00:32:33Seymour. Seymour, I...
00:32:35Got a bad tooth, huh?
00:32:37No, I thought this was the men's room.
00:32:39Seymour, come back here, you bad dog.
00:32:41So, you are the young man
00:32:43who ruined my gladiolas, huh?
00:32:45Sit down. Come on.
00:32:52Guess what?
00:32:54My tooth stopped hurting.
00:32:56Yes, I know. Let's see.
00:32:58Shut up and open up.
00:33:05Ow! Ow!
00:33:07Does that hurt? Yeah!
00:33:09I haven't seen anything yet.
00:33:11Shoot it over here.
00:33:13Seymour, who is the dentist here, you or me?
00:33:15I'll find that tooth.
00:33:17Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
00:33:19Look at that stalagmite.
00:33:21But don't worry.
00:33:23It's gonna be an easy one, Seymour.
00:33:25I won't even use Novocaine.
00:33:27Oh, you broke the mirror in my mouth.
00:33:29Don't tell me about it, stupid. Just swallow it.
00:33:31All right, yes.
00:33:33Let's see now, Seymour.
00:33:35See, I'll have this one and this one
00:33:37and that one, and I have to have this one, Seymour.
00:33:39It's only one tooth.
00:33:41Seymour, who is the dentist here, you or me?
00:33:43Are you practicing dentistry without a license?
00:33:45No. All right. Uh-huh.
00:33:47Let's see.
00:33:49Oh, shh.
00:33:51Seymour, Seymour.
00:33:53Don't be mad.
00:33:57Look at that.
00:33:59Will you look at that, Seymour?
00:34:01I didn't know you were an elk.
00:34:03You know,
00:34:05I can't afford an assistant.
00:34:07So I get this ready instant mix.
00:34:09It doesn't last very long,
00:34:11but it tastes good.
00:34:13Mmm.
00:34:15All right, Seymour.
00:34:17Oh, stay away from me.
00:34:19Seymour, you're trying to kill me.
00:34:21A duel!
00:34:23A-ha!
00:34:25Oh!
00:34:27Oh!
00:34:29Oh!
00:34:31Oh!
00:34:33Is this Stoddard's office?
00:34:35Uh, just a minute.
00:34:39Oh, yes.
00:34:41I see it is.
00:34:47Uh, y-you can come in now.
00:34:57My name is Wilberforce.
00:34:59Wilberforce what?
00:35:01Just Wilberforce.
00:35:03My first name is Wilber.
00:35:05My last name is Force.
00:35:07I don't have a middle name.
00:35:09Well, do you have an appointment, maybe?
00:35:11No, but you were very highly recommended to me
00:35:14by one of your patients,
00:35:16a Mrs. Esheba.
00:35:18I do a lot of undertaking for her relatives.
00:35:21Well, as you can see,
00:35:23I have a customer now,
00:35:25and I'm all booked up for the rest of the day,
00:35:27so you'll have to come back tomorrow.
00:35:29Oh, I couldn't do that.
00:35:31I have three or four abscesses,
00:35:33a touch of pyreia,
00:35:35nine or ten cavities,
00:35:36I lost my pivot tooth,
00:35:38and I'm in terrible pain.
00:35:40Well, I-I can't help you today.
00:35:42Oh, that's all right.
00:35:44I'll-I'll just wait outside.
00:35:47The patient came to me
00:35:49with a large hole in his abdomen,
00:35:51caused by a fire poker
00:35:53used on him by his wife.
00:35:55He almost bled to death,
00:35:57and gangrene had set in.
00:35:59I didn't give him much of a chance.
00:36:01There were other complications.
00:36:03The man had cancer,
00:36:05and he was in a lot of pain.
00:36:07He was in a lot of pain,
00:36:09and he was in a lot of pain,
00:36:11and he was in a lot of pain,
00:36:13and he was in a lot of pain,
00:36:15cancer, tuberculosis,
00:36:17leprosy,
00:36:19and a touch of the grip.
00:36:21I decided to operate.
00:36:23My-my patient just left.
00:36:25You-you could come in now.
00:36:27Oh, goody.
00:36:31I didn't see the other man leave.
00:36:33Well, he went out the back door.
00:36:39You know, most people don't like
00:36:41to go to the dentist,
00:36:43but I-I rather enjoy it myself,
00:36:45don't you?
00:36:47I mean, there's such-
00:36:49there's a real feeling of growth,
00:36:51of-of progress
00:36:53when that-that old drill goes in.
00:36:55I mean, I'd almost rather
00:36:57go to the dentist than anywhere,
00:36:59wouldn't you?
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:03Now, no Novacaine.
00:37:05It dulls the senses.
00:37:07This is gonna hurt you
00:37:09more than it is me.
00:37:11Oh!
00:37:17Oh, my God!
00:37:19Don't stop now!
00:37:21Well, I made a lot of holes,
00:37:23and now I gotta fill it up
00:37:25with this here silver stuff.
00:37:27Well, aren't you gonna pull any?
00:37:29Well, uh...
00:37:31Oh, go on.
00:37:33Well, it's your mouth.
00:37:41Ah!
00:37:43Ah!
00:37:45Ah!
00:37:47Ah!
00:37:49Well, Dr. Carve,
00:37:51it's been quite an afternoon.
00:37:53I can truly say
00:37:55I've never enjoyed myself so much.
00:37:57I'll recommend you to all my friends.
00:37:59Thank you. Bye.
00:38:01Bye now.
00:38:11Feed me!
00:38:13Oh, take it easy, Dracula.
00:38:15What do you think I'm carrying here, my dirty laundry?
00:38:21Food!
00:38:23I'm coming! I'm coming already!
00:38:29This should be enough
00:38:31for anybody.
00:38:33Food!
00:38:35Ah!
00:38:39Well, goodbye, Dr. Carve.
00:38:41You may have been
00:38:43a crummy dentist, but you were a nice fella.
00:38:45I never meant to kill anybody
00:38:47in my whole life. I've killed two
00:38:49in the last two days.
00:38:51Well, but you asked for it,
00:38:53coming after me with that knife and all.
00:38:55Fun voyage, Dr. Carve.
00:38:57You want anything else?
00:38:59See you in the morning.
00:39:21Come in.
00:39:23It's me, Joe.
00:39:25Come on in, Frank.
00:39:27How's the wife, Frank?
00:39:29Not bad, Joe.
00:39:31Glad to hear it. The kids?
00:39:33Lost one yesterday.
00:39:35Lost one, eh? How'd that happen?
00:39:37Playing with matches.
00:39:39Well, those are bricks.
00:39:41Yeah, I guess so.
00:39:43Got a strange one here. Railroad people say they lost one of their best detectives the other night.
00:39:45Oh, yeah?
00:39:47Down by the yards. He was watching the refrigerator cars.
00:39:49Refrigerator cars?
00:39:51Ice thieves.
00:39:53Oh, yeah? What happened?
00:39:55Nothing.
00:39:57Anything else?
00:39:59Dentist. Farb. Dead?
00:40:01Missing. Clues?
00:40:03Blood in office. Where?
00:40:05Skid Row. Ideas?
00:40:07None. Check it out?
00:40:09Yeah.
00:40:19Now we are on the case.
00:40:21Officer Frank Stooley and me.
00:40:23Sergeant Joe Fink.
00:40:25Fella Fink.
00:40:45Morning, Mr. Mushnick.
00:40:47Oh, boy, look at that.
00:40:49Hi, everybody.
00:40:51Oh, my gosh.
00:40:53Ain't it something?
00:40:55It's monstrosity.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:59And to think that you did it.
00:41:03Gee, Audrey, you don't have to kiss me.
00:41:05Don't you like me to kiss you?
00:41:07Yeah, but you don't like to kiss me.
00:41:09Why shouldn't I?
00:41:11Nobody else ever did.
00:41:13Well, I do like to.
00:41:15You do? You really do? You like to kiss me?
00:41:17Sure I do.
00:41:19Would you like to kiss me again?
00:41:21Okay.
00:41:23That plant?
00:41:27Oh, boy, you kiss good, Audrey.
00:41:29Oh, I guess I just have a good kisser.
00:41:31How did it...
00:41:33Would you like to go out on a date with me some night?
00:41:35When?
00:41:37Oh, sure I would, Seymour. Anytime.
00:41:39Tonight?
00:41:41Okay.
00:41:43Oh, boy.
00:41:45About that plant.
00:41:47We got the list of flowers for the float.
00:41:49For the rose parade.
00:41:51I can't talk to you now, girls.
00:41:53Talk on, Audrey.
00:41:55Oh, we got the list for the float.
00:41:57Okay, let's take a look at it.
00:41:59Hi, what's cooking?
00:42:01Look at my plant.
00:42:03My, what a large one.
00:42:05Yeah.
00:42:07Hello, Mrs. Shiva.
00:42:09What's new?
00:42:11Oh, I got terrible news.
00:42:13My nephew Frankie just lost his little boy.
00:42:15Oh, that's too bad.
00:42:17How did it happen?
00:42:19He was playing with matches.
00:42:21Would you like to buy maybe some flowers?
00:42:23About 50 cents worth.
00:42:25Well, I'll get them for you.
00:42:27Look at my plant.
00:42:29I'm looking.
00:42:33Your name Gravis Muckling?
00:42:35Look, I'm Moshnik Gravis. That's my name.
00:42:37Just want to ask you a few questions.
00:42:39Questions? Ask me.
00:42:41Just want to ask you a few questions.
00:42:43Why are you so nervous?
00:42:45Got a guilty conscience?
00:42:47No, why should I?
00:42:49Ever see this man?
00:42:51Man, see the picture, Dr. Farb.
00:42:53So you know him.
00:42:55My dentist, he maybe did something.
00:42:57Disappeared.
00:42:59Blood in his office.
00:43:01The other man, too. Blood in the railroad tracks.
00:43:03A few spare parts.
00:43:05Dr. Farb is murdered.
00:43:07Is he?
00:43:09Who knows? Not me.
00:43:11Okay, Moshnik.
00:43:13If you hear anything about these men, call our office.
00:43:15Sure, I'll be glad to.
00:43:17Cooperate with the police.
00:43:19Hello, Aunt Siddy.
00:43:21Oh, isn't it terrible what happened to your boy, Frankie?
00:43:23Those are the brakes.
00:43:29All right, Seymour.
00:43:31Now you tell me if that plant is finished all grown up.
00:43:33He's finished all growing up.
00:43:35You wouldn't kid your father?
00:43:37My father came home.
00:43:39Now, look.
00:43:41I can't stand anymore that plant.
00:43:43It's growing me out of house and home.
00:43:45Well, it ain't gonna grow anymore, I promise.
00:43:47How can you be so sure?
00:43:49It ate three times already.
00:43:51Who, I mean,
00:43:53what did it eat this time?
00:43:55About a million Japanese beetles.
00:43:57So don't eat no more.
00:43:59It's full.
00:44:01Gravis!
00:44:03There's a lady from some kind of a committance outside.
00:44:05I think it's important.
00:44:07Excellent.
00:44:09By the by, I understand
00:44:11you want to take Audrey out on a date tonight.
00:44:13That's very good with me
00:44:15because I am staying to keep an eye
00:44:17on that mashugana plant.
00:44:23Where are we gonna go tonight, Seymour?
00:44:25Oh, I just remembered.
00:44:27I don't have any money.
00:44:29Well, that's okay.
00:44:31We could take a walk along the ocean or something.
00:44:33I got a great idea.
00:44:35We can eat dinner at my house.
00:44:37My mom's a great cook.
00:44:39Well, that's swell!
00:44:41Oh, boy, I'll call her later and tell her.
00:44:43Okay.
00:44:47Oh, that's remarkable.
00:44:49Do you like?
00:44:51Oh, I neither like
00:44:53nor dislike anything, my good man.
00:44:57I happen to represent the Society
00:44:59of Silent Flower Observers
00:45:01of Southern California.
00:45:03How about that?
00:45:05Tell me, who created
00:45:07this magnificent bloom?
00:45:09I did.
00:45:11Me.
00:45:13And what might your name be?
00:45:15Seymour Krelboin with a K.
00:45:17Krelboin.
00:45:19Krelboin.
00:45:21Raised it in a coffee can.
00:45:23This?
00:45:25Well, tell me, Mr. Krelboin,
00:45:27is this a freak or can more be raised from the sea?
00:45:29We should live so long.
00:45:31Well, I don't think there are going to be any more, Miss...
00:45:33Fishtwanger.
00:45:35Mrs. Hortense Fishtwanger.
00:45:37I think this is going to be the only one, Mrs. Fishtwanger.
00:45:39Fishtwanger.
00:45:41Fishtwanger?
00:45:43It's probably indigestible anyway.
00:45:47At any rate,
00:45:49I have the honor
00:45:51to tell you, Seymour Krelboin,
00:45:53that you have been selected
00:45:55to receive the annual trophy
00:45:57of the Society of Silent Flower Observers
00:45:59of Southern California.
00:46:01A trophy? Me?
00:46:03Such is justice.
00:46:05Tell me, when do you suppose
00:46:07those large buds will open?
00:46:09Well, according to what the book says
00:46:11about the plants that I crossed,
00:46:13they should open day after tomorrow at sunset.
00:46:15Ah, very well.
00:46:17Then I shall return at that time to present the trophy.
00:46:19Good day.
00:46:25Remarkable.
00:46:29Oh, boy,
00:46:31I'm going to get a trophy.
00:46:33Oh, Seymour, I'm so proud of you.
00:46:35Oh, a real trophy.
00:46:37For Audrey Jr.
00:46:39We can put it on the floor.
00:46:41In the cross parade.
00:46:43Oh, boy.
00:46:45Don't look at me.
00:46:47I'm a terrible sight.
00:46:49I'm a complete sea hag.
00:46:51She always says that.
00:46:53Oh, well, it's true.
00:46:55I haven't been feeling very well lately.
00:46:57This is Audrey Fulquart.
00:46:59She's my girl.
00:47:01Hi, Audrey. Are you hungry?
00:47:03I sure am. I could eat a hearse.
00:47:05Well, sit right down,
00:47:07and I'll go get the first course.
00:47:09Sit here, Audrey.
00:47:11You want me to take your sweater?
00:47:13Yes.
00:47:23Never mind that.
00:47:25Well, now try this.
00:47:33It tastes like cough syrup.
00:47:35Dr. Flynn's cough syrup.
00:47:37A toast?
00:47:39To Audrey Jr.
00:47:41No, to Audrey Sr.
00:47:55You, you glutton.
00:47:57You.
00:47:59Tonight I keep an eye on you.
00:48:01I don't let nobody get near you.
00:48:11Here comes the soup.
00:48:13I'll get it.
00:48:15I'll get it.
00:48:17I'll get it.
00:48:19I'll get it.
00:48:21I'll get it.
00:48:23Here comes the soup.
00:48:25Now don't touch it
00:48:27until I get the flavor in.
00:48:29Gee, Audrey,
00:48:31you sure look good by candlelight.
00:48:33Oh, do I really, Seymour?
00:48:35Yeah.
00:48:37Here you are.
00:48:39Now try it.
00:48:41It sure smells different.
00:48:43It's different.
00:48:45Some kind of oil, isn't it?
00:48:47God, liver oil.
00:48:49It's wonderful for the colon.
00:48:51Now I'm going to top.
00:48:57Feed me.
00:49:03Feed me.
00:49:09I'm hungry.
00:49:11Open it, please.
00:49:13Feed me.
00:49:17I didn't hear it.
00:49:19Feed me.
00:49:21I heard it.
00:49:23I want food.
00:49:27A talking plant we got.
00:49:29I'm hungry.
00:49:31No.
00:49:33Hungry.
00:49:35And I'm hungry.
00:49:37I'm hungry.
00:49:39Hungry?
00:49:41Ain't that a fine kettle of fish.
00:49:43Who would you like to have tonight?
00:49:45You look fat enough.
00:49:49We not only got a talking plant,
00:49:51we got one that makes with smart cracks.
00:49:53Will you listen to me,
00:49:55you botanical bum?
00:49:57Food you wouldn't get.
00:49:59Not from Gravis Mushnick.
00:50:01I'm starved.
00:50:03Excellent.
00:50:05You would unpopulate the whole skid row.
00:50:07Well,
00:50:09you can forget about it.
00:50:11You wouldn't get fed from Gravis Mushnick tonight.
00:50:15Good night.
00:50:17You'll get yours.
00:50:25I kind of like this chow mein.
00:50:27If it tastes a little bitter,
00:50:29it's because it's made of Chinese herbs
00:50:31and it's flavored with acromias
00:50:33and epsom salts.
00:50:35There ain't another cook in the whole world like my ma.
00:50:37That's what your old man said
00:50:39before the louse ran out on me.
00:50:41You know, if you're going to be married,
00:50:43you got to be a good cook.
00:50:45Maybe you could teach me.
00:50:47You thinking of getting married?
00:50:49He hasn't asked me yet.
00:50:51Who hasn't?
00:50:53Seymour.
00:50:55Seymour's too young to get married.
00:50:57A boy's got to go out and play around a little bit.
00:50:59Go out on the make and have a ball.
00:51:01Seymour, I don't want to have a ball.
00:51:03Look, Seymour.
00:51:05You promised you wouldn't get married
00:51:07until you bought me an iron lung.
00:51:09You've been breathing for years, Ma.
00:51:11Well, it ain't easy.
00:51:13It ain't easy, son.
00:51:33Oh.
00:51:35Is anybody here?
00:51:37Black hat, 13th general fighter,
00:51:3913th stupid superstition.
00:51:45All right, you.
00:51:47Come out of there.
00:51:49Don't shoot, mister.
00:51:51I'm old and sick. I wouldn't hurt even a fly.
00:51:53Come out in the light
00:51:55where I can see you.
00:51:57No. Please don't shoot.
00:51:59Please.
00:52:01I'm only Gravis Mushnick.
00:52:03You wouldn't want to kill me.
00:52:05Where would you hide the body?
00:52:07Don't worry. I'm not going to shoot you.
00:52:09Not unless you try something.
00:52:11Try something? I never tried anything in my life.
00:52:13I wouldn't try anything now.
00:52:15You want my money? Take it.
00:52:17You want I should go out and steal you some more?
00:52:19That's all right, too. I'll do it.
00:52:21Thank you very much.
00:52:23I like your brand of hospitality.
00:52:25You'll excuse it, Isamora.
00:52:27I'm only a poor florist.
00:52:29Come on, now. Where's the rest of it?
00:52:31I was in here this afternoon.
00:52:33I saw about 30,000 people in here.
00:52:35They must have spent some money.
00:52:37Where is it?
00:52:39There ain't no more money.
00:52:41They came in to look on the plant.
00:52:43It's a big attraction.
00:52:45Don't try to snow me, Jim.
00:52:4730,000 squares didn't come in here
00:52:49just to look for a plant.
00:52:51I want it.
00:52:53I don't got no more money, honest.
00:52:55Believe me.
00:52:57Five, four,
00:52:59three, two...
00:53:01All right! All right, I'm ready.
00:53:03Okay, Big Dad, where?
00:53:05In the plant.
00:53:07In the plant?
00:53:09The big plant, Audrey Junior.
00:53:15Inside the big leaf?
00:53:17That's right, inside.
00:53:19How do you get it open?
00:53:23Just knock.
00:53:27Okay.
00:53:41In there.
00:53:43Inside.
00:53:45In the bottom.
00:53:47I don't see anything.
00:53:49Way inside.
00:53:51Right in the bottom.
00:53:57Ah!
00:54:05Ah!
00:54:11Oy, what I did.
00:54:17I don't care what you got at the date
00:54:19with Audrey tonight.
00:54:21I am no more sitting up
00:54:23with that no-good-nique plant.
00:54:25Oh, Mushnick, you don't have to sit up with it anymore.
00:54:27It's all grown up now.
00:54:29Excellent, smart guy.
00:54:31How do you know it don't be hungry no more?
00:54:33Well, because...
00:54:35Tonight you are staying.
00:54:37Then tomorrow they're coming
00:54:39and they're going to give you a trophy
00:54:41and then after that we are getting rid
00:54:43once and for all for that plant.
00:54:45Getting rid of it? Why?
00:54:47Don't ask why, why.
00:54:49The end, into the garbage can.
00:54:51Aloha.
00:54:53That's all right, Audrey.
00:54:55I'll grow other plants, even more wonderful ones.
00:54:57I know you will.
00:54:59Did you figure out what we're doing tonight?
00:55:01Yeah, we're going to a place
00:55:03full of beautiful flowers.
00:55:05We have to stay here.
00:55:07Well, never mind.
00:55:09We'll have a picnic.
00:55:11It'll be just like going to the country.
00:55:13Did you get the 3,000 pink azaleas for the arbor
00:55:15and the 9,000 yellow mums for the border?
00:55:17And the roses for the front and the back?
00:55:19No, around the back.
00:55:21What do you mean you're going to a picnic
00:55:23at night with that folklore girl?
00:55:25Don't you like Audrey, Ma?
00:55:27She's out after your money.
00:55:29I don't have any money.
00:55:31Oh, she's a smart one.
00:55:33She'll latch on to you until you get some
00:55:35and then goodbye fortune.
00:55:37But Audrey's an honest girl, Ma.
00:55:39Yeah, never trust a woman who's too healthy.
00:55:41But Audrey had a bad cold a couple of weeks ago.
00:55:43Oh, a cold, a puny cold.
00:55:45Why don't you get yourself a real female
00:55:47with something decent like
00:55:49mononucleosis or gallstones.
00:55:51Maybe she could catch something like that.
00:55:53The only thing she'll catch is you.
00:55:55And she'll take you off to some shady sanitarium
00:55:57and leave me to chiropractors
00:55:59and faith healers.
00:56:01I know when I'm not wanted.
00:56:03Oh!
00:56:05Oh, gee, Ma.
00:56:07Don't feel sorry for me.
00:56:09I'll just find a nice wet alley somewhere
00:56:11and curl up and wait for the end.
00:56:13Oh, please don't die till I get back,
00:56:15will you, Ma?
00:56:17I'll take care of you.
00:56:19I'll always take care of you.
00:56:21I promise.
00:56:23Bye.
00:56:29Gee, Audrey, I never tasted food like this before.
00:56:31It's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
00:56:33Peanut butter and jelly?
00:56:35What does that cure?
00:56:37Nothing. It's just a food.
00:56:39What good is it if it doesn't clear up pimples
00:56:41or shrink your sinus tissues or something?
00:56:43You're just being silly, Seymour.
00:56:45Seymour, what do you want to be?
00:56:47Well, I want to grow things.
00:56:49If I had a lot of money,
00:56:51I'd go to the South Seas
00:56:53where they grow the most fabulous plants in the world.
00:56:55Well, that sounds exciting.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:59I'd like to go to the South Seas, too.
00:57:01There's no reason why you couldn't go.
00:57:03Would you take me with you, Seymour?
00:57:05Oh, I couldn't very well go without you, Audrey.
00:57:07Why not?
00:57:09Well, because...
00:57:11because I'm in love with you, Audrey.
00:57:13Oh, I'm in love with you, too, Seymour.
00:57:15Feed me.
00:57:17What'd you say?
00:57:19I was just kidding.
00:57:21I'm hungry.
00:57:23Seymour!
00:57:25I didn't mean it.
00:57:27Why did you say it?
00:57:29Oh, food.
00:57:31You didn't even say that.
00:57:33Oh, yes, I did. I said it. I said it.
00:57:35Oh, I'm looking right at you.
00:57:37I'm a ventriloquist.
00:57:39You're what?
00:57:41Feed me.
00:57:43Seymour, do you feel all right?
00:57:45Well, I don't know. I'm not sure.
00:57:47Well, then stop all this nonsense and kiss me.
00:57:51I'm dying from hunger.
00:57:53Oh, right. If you're so hungry, eat something.
00:57:55But forget about me.
00:57:57Gee, I'm sorry, Audrey.
00:57:59Give me to eat.
00:58:01If you can't control yourself, I'm going home.
00:58:03I need some chow.
00:58:07My empty stomach.
00:58:11Wait. Listen to me.
00:58:13I've listened to all the nonsense I want to hear, Seymour.
00:58:15You're a nut.
00:58:17You tell me that you love me, and then you act like a complete idiot.
00:58:19Please listen, Audrey.
00:58:21I'll be able to explain everything soon.
00:58:23Well, why can't you explain now?
00:58:25Because so many things are so important.
00:58:27I want to marry you,
00:58:29but I've got to take care of Mom.
00:58:31Well, that plant in there is going to make it all come true.
00:58:35Tomorrow they're going to give me a trophy, and I'll be famous.
00:58:37I'll be a big botanist.
00:58:39And then we can go to the South Seas,
00:58:41just like we planned and all.
00:58:43But that doesn't have anything to do with what went on in there.
00:58:45When you're ready to come to your senses, Seymour,
00:58:47then I'll talk to you.
00:58:49Good night, Seymour.
00:59:03I'm getting pretty tired of you.
00:59:05I need food.
00:59:07I don't care what you need.
00:59:09Look what you've done to me.
00:59:11You not only made a butcher out of me, but you drove my girl away.
00:59:13Shut up and bring on the food!
00:59:15Don't tell me to shut up.
00:59:17You shut up.
00:59:19Who raised you from a bunch of little seeds?
00:59:21Who fed you all them high-class fertilizers
00:59:23and sat up all night with you when you were sick?
00:59:25Nobody else would have done that for you.
00:59:27Do you think anybody else would have brought you human beings to eat?
00:59:29You're darn right they wouldn't.
00:59:31Well, I've helped you,
00:59:33and you've helped me.
00:59:35Shut up and go to sleep. I'm tired.
00:59:37Crowboy!
00:59:39Turn around!
00:59:41Close your eyes.
00:59:45You are asleep.
00:59:47Open your eyes.
00:59:51Now you will do as I say.
00:59:53Will you follow me?
00:59:55Yes, master.
00:59:57You will go out and find me some food.
01:00:01Yes, master.
01:00:03Come on, and waste no time.
01:00:25Idiot!
01:00:33Idiot!
01:01:03My name is Leonora Clyde.
01:01:05How's the rain on the rhubarb?
01:01:07Master is hungry.
01:01:19Well, hello there.
01:01:33Hello.
01:01:57I've got to find food for master.
01:01:59Food I've got to find for master.
01:02:03Master, I've got to find food.
01:02:07Maybe I can help.
01:02:09Who are you?
01:02:11My name is Leonora Clyde. I love you.
01:02:15Master wants food.
01:02:17Let the old goat wait.
01:02:19The night is young, and so are we.
01:02:21Master doesn't eat goat.
01:02:27Well, what kind of food does he like?
01:02:33That's more like it.
01:02:35Kiss me.
01:02:41What's the matter? Don't you like me?
01:02:43Too bony.
01:02:45Too bony? Nobody ever told me that before.
01:02:47Beef is better than veal.
01:02:51You're such a dodo.
01:02:53What do you call this? Chopped liver?
01:02:59Master would like more fat.
01:03:01Speak for yourself, John.
01:03:05My name is Seymour.
01:03:07My name is Seymour.
01:03:09That's my name, too.
01:03:11Are you interested, or are you just wasting my time?
01:03:15I never thought anybody would volunteer.
01:03:17Do you volunteer?
01:03:19Sure, I do.
01:03:21All right, if you're sure you want to volunteer.
01:03:23All right, my place or yours?
01:03:25I don't care.
01:03:27Well, flip a coin.
01:03:29I don't have a coin.
01:03:31Flip anything, silly.
01:03:33Well, there's a rock.
01:03:37Wet or dry?
01:03:39Wet.
01:03:41The search was narrowing, and we knew that soon we would have the killer.
01:04:01Not that we had any more clues than before, but we had to tell the chief something.
01:04:05I had that feeling in my bones that the mystery was drawing to its climax,
01:04:08and I was determined to be on hand.
01:04:11All right, out, out, out. Nobody is in.
01:04:13Today we have a special occasion for Seymour Krelborn,
01:04:16which has invented the big plan.
01:04:18So I want everybody should please stay out of the way.
01:04:20We want Seymour! We want Seymour!
01:04:23We want Seymour!
01:04:25Seymour!
01:04:31I tell you, this business is worse than being a conductor in a revoluting door.
01:04:35I'll be glad when this day is finished.
01:04:37What's the celebration?
01:04:39They're presenting my son with a trophy.
01:04:41Yeah, what'd he do, run away from home?
01:04:43Please don't look at me that way, Audrey.
01:04:45I want to talk to you.
01:04:47I'm sorry, Seymour. I just don't understand you.
01:04:50I'll explain everything after the ceremony.
01:04:52Yo, police, what are you doing here?
01:04:54I heard there was something going on here this evening.
01:04:56Just thought we'd come by and keep an eye on things.
01:04:58Look, we don't need no...
01:04:59Eyes kept on nodding every day.
01:05:01The Society of Silent Flower Observers has arrived, and sunset is almost upon us.
01:05:06Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
01:05:08We are honored to have you.
01:05:11Still working on those disappearances?
01:05:13We think they were murdered.
01:05:14Hey, look here, young man.
01:05:15That's no way to talk at a time like this.
01:05:17Let me see your tongue.
01:05:19Uh-huh.
01:05:20Know what you got?
01:05:21Just a fox, ma'am.
01:05:22Trench mouth.
01:05:23I know, I had it back in 0-9.
01:05:25Better have that looked into, Frank.
01:05:26Whatever you say, Joe.
01:05:29Mr. Crowboy, the sun is going down now, and...
01:05:34You do think those buds are going to open?
01:05:37I hope so.
01:05:38Because if they don't, Mr. Crowboy,
01:05:41we shall just have to present the award at another time.
01:05:44Oh, it's starting to open!
01:05:46Yes, that's smart.
01:05:51Oh, look, the first bud is open.
01:05:59Isn't that...
01:06:00The railroad cop.
01:06:01Oh.
01:06:12Ah!
01:06:15What do you think, Frank?
01:06:16They're all there, Joe.
01:06:17Yes, you're right.
01:06:18Mr. Crowboy, how do you explain this?
01:06:20I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it!
01:06:22That's right, officer.
01:06:23He didn't mean to kill them.
01:06:24Am I?
01:06:25Seymour, you promised you'd explain!
01:06:28Looks like they're getting away, Joe.
01:06:29Yes, you're right.
01:06:30Let's catch them.
01:06:31Right.
01:06:37Oh, now the float will be perfect!
01:06:39Yeah!
01:07:01I'll get you!

01:10:58You wouldn't find him tonight.
01:11:00Look.
01:11:01The door's open, Frank.
01:11:02Come on.
01:11:08He was such a good boy.
01:11:15Seymour!
01:11:17I didn't mean it.
