1. Hi, Grandpa. Where's Lily?
Copy !req
2. She's gone to bed.
Copy !req
3. You better go up and
tell her where you've been.
Copy !req
4. You've been out three nights
in a row. What are you up to?
Copy !req
5. Grandpa, I don't
want Lily to know,
Copy !req
6. but I'm engaged in a project
that is going to benefit mankind...
Copy !req
7. and keep the streets
of our country safe...
Copy !req
8. for women and
children everywhere.
Copy !req
9. No. Yes.
Copy !req
10. I'm a detective.
Copy !req
11. What? You, a detective?
Copy !req
12. Herman. Herman,
do me a favor. Hmm?
Copy !req
13. When the boys from
the happy hatch come...
Copy !req
14. to fit you with that
canvas housecoat,
Copy !req
15. please, don't tell 'em
you're my son-in-law!
Copy !req
16. What time did Uncle Herman
get home last night, Aunt Lily?
Copy !req
17. Not till 11:00.
Copy !req
18. He had some vague excuse about
getting lost on the way home from work.
Copy !req
19. - Hey, maybe Pop is leadin' a double life.
- A double life?
Copy !req
20. Yeah. He's really a
criminal on parole,
Copy !req
21. and he has to go out at night
and pay blackmail to some crooks,
Copy !req
22. so they won't tell everybody his
mother runs a saloon in New Orleans.
Copy !req
23. Eddie Munster, wherever
do you get such ideas?
Copy !req
24. It was on the second
feature at the kiddies' matinee.
Copy !req
25. Oh, those horror shows!
Copy !req
26. Eddie, you should spend
Saturday afternoons at home...
Copy !req
27. doing something more wholesome,
Copy !req
28. like digging up bones in
the backyard with Spot.
Copy !req
29. Where's Uncle
Herman now, Aunt Lily?
Copy !req
30. He's down in that lab
again with Grandpa.
Copy !req
31. I don't know what they're up
to. It's awfully quiet down there.
Copy !req
32. I'd feel a lot better if I
could hear a few explosions.
Copy !req
33. "Follow that man.
Copy !req
34. "Learn to be a detective
in your spare time.
Copy !req
35. "Earn up to $75 a week.
Copy !req
36. "Glamour, excitement...
Copy !req
37. Official badge
with first lesson."
Copy !req
38. "United States National
Federal Detective Academy.
Copy !req
39. Box 14, Tijuana, Mexico."
Copy !req
40. Oh, boy. My son-in-law,
the wetback detective.
Copy !req
41. Herman, this is a gyp outfit.
Copy !req
42. Oh, no, they're not.
Copy !req
43. That's where I
have you, Grandpa.
Copy !req
44. They sent me this
official detective kit.
Copy !req
45. See? Here's my
fingerprinting equipment.
Copy !req
46. And these are what is
commonly known in the trade...
Copy !req
47. as restraining cuffs.
Copy !req
48. Well... Oh, it doesn't matter
anyway. They didn't send me the key.
Copy !req
49. And, eh-eh, what is this,
a Tijuana phone book?
Copy !req
50. No. This is my 20 easy lessons.
Copy !req
51. See? Here's a chapter
on how to follow men. Eh?
Copy !req
52. Here's a chapter on
how to follow women.
Copy !req
53. Here's a chapter on how to
follow men disguised as women.
Copy !req
54. You see, Grandpa?
I am too a detective.
Copy !req
55. Okay. Okay.
Copy !req
56. Good. Good.
Copy !req
57. You're a detective.
What do you do now?
Copy !req
58. What do I do now?
Copy !req
59. I give up my present
low-salary job...
Copy !req
60. for the high-paying rewards...
Copy !req
61. of a career in law enforcement.
Copy !req
62. You mean quit your
job down at the parlor?
Copy !req
63. Herman, you're a
big man down there.
Copy !req
64. You, who started out 12
years ago as a nail boy.
Copy !req
65. I'm not quitting
right now, Grandpa.
Copy !req
66. I need more experience.
Copy !req
67. That's why I've been
out the last three nights...
Copy !req
68. practicing how to shadow people.
Copy !req
69. Grandpa? Grandpa... Oh!
Copy !req
70. Herman, hmm?
Copy !req
71. Not only will you get Lily mad,
Copy !req
72. but if you keep
shadowing people,
Copy !req
73. you will wind up with
what is known in the trade...
Copy !req
74. as a belt in the mouth!
Copy !req
75. Grandpa, you can
laugh if you want to,
Copy !req
76. but I'm on the verge of a
career in law enforcement.
Copy !req
77. I've already sent in
my application to the
Copy !req
78. Kempner Detective Agency
right here in this town.
Copy !req
79. They said they'd call me.
Copy !req
80. Are you sure about that?
Copy !req
81. That's just what they said:
"Don't call us, we'll call you."
Copy !req
82. Herman?
Copy !req
83. And just where do you think
you're going again tonight?
Copy !req
84. Uh... Eh, just out, dear.
Copy !req
85. There's some secret
work I have to do...
Copy !req
86. that will eventually be of
great benefit to my family.
Copy !req
87. All right, go ahead.
Copy !req
88. I don't suppose it
matters to you that you're
Copy !req
89. completely ruining my
plans for the evening.
Copy !req
90. Oh? What plans are those, dear?
Copy !req
91. Oh, just that I'm supposed
to go out tonight...
Copy !req
92. and collect for our favorite
charity, Bundles for Transylvania.
Copy !req
93. I thought that my husband
could at least be with me...
Copy !req
94. when I knock on strange doors.
Copy !req
95. But that's all right.
Copy !req
96. Go ahead, stay out all
evening with your "secret" work.
Copy !req
97. - But, Lily!
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
98. Go on. And while you're out,
Copy !req
99. why don't you send
a one-word telegram...
Copy !req
100. to our poor friends
in the Old Country...
Copy !req
101. "Starve!"
Copy !req
102. But...
Copy !req
103. Oh, it's only you.
Copy !req
104. Well, w-why don't
you sit closer?
Copy !req
105. What for? So I
can give you a kiss.
Copy !req
106. Oh, I-I'd be embarrassed.
Copy !req
107. Well, then close your
eyes. Will you close yours?
Copy !req
108. Uh-huh. Okay.
Copy !req
109. One, two, three.
Copy !req
110. Oh, um, me no Peeping
Tom. Me number-one detective.
Copy !req
111. Oh!
Copy !req
112. Well, he's not at the office.
Copy !req
113. Secret work, my foot.
Copy !req
114. I'll just bet he's seeing
another woman. Oh, Aunt Lily.
Copy !req
115. I'm going down first
thing in the morning...
Copy !req
116. to the Kempner Detective Agency
and have your Uncle Herman followed!
Copy !req
117. Well, what do you suppose
he's been doing, Aunt Lily?
Copy !req
118. Well, I don't know. But
the next time he does it,
Copy !req
119. there'll be a detective
behind him taking notes!
Copy !req
120. Well, I'm sure we can
handle this case, Mrs. Munster.
Copy !req
121. Would you give us a
description of your husband?
Copy !req
122. Well, he's average
height, about 7 foot 3.
Copy !req
123. Seven foot 3?
Copy !req
124. Did he ever play basketball?
Copy !req
125. No. J-Just in the backyard
with our son, Eddie.
Copy !req
126. But he had to give it up. He
kept catching his head in the hoop.
Copy !req
127. - How about his weight?
- Three spins.
Copy !req
128. Three spins?
Copy !req
129. Yes. When he gets
on the bathroom scale...
Copy !req
130. You know the little dial...
Well, it spins around three times.
Copy !req
131. Put down "heavy."
Copy !req
132. How does he wear his hair?
Copy !req
133. Well, um, he wears it a
little long on the sides...
Copy !req
134. and, uh, flat on top.
Copy !req
135. - Ears?
- Mm-hmm, two.
Copy !req
136. Oh, they're not a matched
set, but only the family can tell.
Copy !req
137. Herman has a very
distinguished lantern jaw...
Copy !req
138. and piercing eyes.
Copy !req
139. And, um, a classic nose. Oh,
and an overhanging forehead.
Copy !req
140. Overhanging forehead?
Copy !req
141. Yes. It keeps the water out of
his eyes when he's in the shower.
Copy !req
142. Any, uh, scars or birthmarks?
Copy !req
143. No. Oh.
Copy !req
144. He does have a cute
little dimple... right here.
Copy !req
145. - Dimple?
- It's about five inches long,
Copy !req
146. and this wide and all "jaggedy."
Copy !req
147. Do you suppose you could have him
followed and find out what he's up to?
Copy !req
148. Well, uh, I tell you, Mrs. Munster,
we're pretty busy right now.
Copy !req
149. We got a lot of
husbands to follow. It
Copy !req
150. always happens when
the warm weather sets in.
Copy !req
151. Uh, suppose I talk this
over with my partner,
Copy !req
152. and we'll get right back to you.
Copy !req
153. Well, I-I certainly hope you
don't find out it's another woman.
Copy !req
154. I'd hate to lose Herman.
Copy !req
155. He's one in a million.
Copy !req
156. One in a million?
Copy !req
157. From the description, I'd say
the odds are a lot higher than that.
Copy !req
158. Mike, I'd hate to put one
of our men on this case.
Copy !req
159. The whole thing sounds so weird.
Copy !req
160. There's no telling
what might happen.
Copy !req
161. Yeah, but...
Copy !req
162. Kempner Detective Agency.
Copy !req
163. This is 702 speaking.
Copy !req
164. I mailed an application and
called you several times last week.
Copy !req
165. It's that crank who calls
himself 702 calling back.
Copy !req
166. You know, that boob who
wants to be a detective?
Copy !req
167. Shall I tell him
to get lost again?
Copy !req
168. Wait a minute. We
got nothing to lose.
Copy !req
169. Why don't we put him on this case,
have him follow this Munster character?
Copy !req
170. If he gets his head bashed in, at
least the union won't be on our necks.
Copy !req
171. Uh, look, uh, 702,
we got a case for you.
Copy !req
172. A jealous woman wants
her husband followed.
Copy !req
173. We'll send you the details.
You take it from there.
Copy !req
174. Oh, golly. Oh, gee.
Copy !req
175. But don't send it to my house.
Uh, send it to my place of business.
Copy !req
176. Oh, and use my code name.
Copy !req
177. I don't want anyone
to know what I'm up to.
Copy !req
178. Good-bye.
Copy !req
179. Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
Copy !req
180. I'm a detective!
I'm a detective!
Copy !req
181. Now, Grandpa,
Copy !req
182. the agency sent me this description
of the man I'm supposed to follow.
Copy !req
183. Evidently he goes out late at
night without any explanation,
Copy !req
184. and his wife is suspicious.
Copy !req
185. This man is a philanderer.
Copy !req
186. Herman, this man is a bum!
Copy !req
187. That's what he is!
Copy !req
188. Be that as it may. According to
lesson 12 of the correspondence course,
Copy !req
189. the first thing to do is make a
composite drawing of the suspect.
Copy !req
190. I suppose you
could do that. Fine.
Copy !req
191. Now, you read the description
while I make the drawing,
Copy !req
192. like the shrewd,
well-trained detective I am.
Copy !req
193. Good.
Copy !req
194. What's the matter?
Copy !req
195. Somebody stole my crayon!
Copy !req
196. Will you calm down?
Here. Here's a pencil.
Copy !req
197. Oh, thank you, Grandpa.
Copy !req
198. What's the matter now?
Copy !req
199. There's no point on it.
Copy !req
200. Give me that.
Copy !req
201. Thank you.
Copy !req
202. Now, you read the description of
the man I'm supposed to follow...
Copy !req
203. while I make the sketch.
Copy !req
204. Good.
Copy !req
205. Now, " 7 foot 3."
Copy !req
206. My, he's a big one.
Copy !req
207. "heavyset.
Copy !req
208. "long on the sides,
Copy !req
209. very flat on top."
Copy !req
210. Long on sides, flat on top.
Copy !req
211. What are you looking at?
Copy !req
212. Nothing.
Copy !req
213. "do not match."
Copy !req
214. "Ears do not match."
Copy !req
215. What are you looking
at now? Nothing.
Copy !req
216. "Lantern jaw."
Copy !req
217. "Lantern jaw."
Copy !req
218. "Piercing eyes."
Copy !req
219. "Piercing eyes."
Copy !req
220. "Classic nose."Classic nose."
Copy !req
221. Lantern jaw, piercing
eyes, classic nose.
Copy !req
222. Ist das nicht ein classic nose?
Copy !req
223. Ja, das ist ein classic nose.
Copy !req
224. Flat on top, lantern
jaw, long on sides,
Copy !req
225. piercing eyes, classic nose.
Copy !req
226. Oh, du schöne, oh, du schöne,
oh, du schöne classic nose.
Copy !req
227. Herman, will you knock it off?
Copy !req
228. I'm sorry, Grandpa. I
guess I just got carried away.
Copy !req
229. After all, I was
made in Germany.
Copy !req
230. "Protruding brows."
Copy !req
231. "Protruding brows."
Copy !req
232. What are you looking at now?
Copy !req
233. Nothing.
Copy !req
234. "Jagged dimple on forehead."
Copy !req
235. "Jagged dimple on forehead."
Copy !req
236. Gotcha. Well, Grandpa?
Copy !req
237. Here's what the
poor boob looks like.
Copy !req
238. What's the matter?
Copy !req
239. Herman, I've got news for you.
Copy !req
240. This poor boob... is you!
Copy !req
241. Me? No.
Copy !req
242. No, I-I-it couldn't be me.
Copy !req
243. Grandpa, this man
is a philanderer.
Copy !req
244. If I were chasing women,
I'd be the first one to know it.
Copy !req
245. Wait a minute, Herman. I've
got the answer to the whole thing.
Copy !req
246. Look, it says here...
Copy !req
247. that the woman who
wants this man followed...
Copy !req
248. is Mrs. Lily Munster.
Copy !req
249. But why would Lily
want me followed?
Copy !req
250. Because you've been
going out at night.
Copy !req
251. She hired the detective agency
to find out what you've been up to.
Copy !req
252. Oh, I get it.
Copy !req
253. Then the man I'm supposed
to follow is Herman Munster.
Copy !req
254. Right.
Copy !req
255. Herman, may I ask
what you're doing?
Copy !req
256. Th-There must be a chapter
on how to follow yourself.
Copy !req
257. Herman, look, you can't
tell Lily you're a detective.
Copy !req
258. But I have a scheme.
Now, you go out tonight...
Copy !req
259. and stay out as late as usual.
Copy !req
260. Then, then as Agent 702,
Copy !req
261. you file a very favorable
report on Herman Munster.
Copy !req
262. The agency gives
this report to Lily.
Copy !req
263. Lily is happy, you're happy,
and the agency is happy!
Copy !req
264. Marilyn, I want you to
sit over there on the sofa.
Copy !req
265. Grandpa, in your chair.
Copy !req
266. And Herman,
Copy !req
267. I want you to sit right
here so you'll be next to me.
Copy !req
268. Oh, why all the
formality, Aunt Lily?
Copy !req
269. It almost seems like
the reading of a will.
Copy !req
270. I'm afraid it's not that
happy an occasion.
Copy !req
271. - Then, uh, what is it, Lily?
- I've brought you all together...
Copy !req
272. because a certain
member of our family...
Copy !req
273. has indulged in many unexplained
absences in the evenings.
Copy !req
274. Now, rather than accuse
this person unjustly,
Copy !req
275. I have had this
woman chaser followed.
Copy !req
276. How do you like that, Grandpa?
Copy !req
277. My own wife, Lily,
has had me followed.
Copy !req
278. I can't believe it. Now, what kind
of creatures are we turning into?
Copy !req
279. Anyway, I got this report...
Copy !req
280. from the detective
agency this morning.
Copy !req
281. And I'm going to read it right
now... in front of all of you.
Copy !req
282. Go right ahead, Lily.
Copy !req
283. I'm ready for the worst.
Copy !req
284. "Report submitted by Agent
702 on Herman Munster.
Copy !req
285. "8:17, suspect left house.
Copy !req
286. "8:20, suspect patted
stray dog on head.
Copy !req
287. "Proceeded to Maple A venue.
Helped old lady across street.
Copy !req
288. "9:06, attended church.
Copy !req
289. "9:38, prevented man
from beating horse.
Copy !req
290. 9:41, attended church."
Copy !req
291. Well, so far, it sounds like
an evening with Pat Boone.
Copy !req
292. "10:03, followed suspect to
Gaiety Burlesque Theater."
Copy !req
293. Oh, Uncle Herman!
Copy !req
294. "10:04, suspect crossed street to
avoid Gaiety Burlesque Theater.
Copy !req
295. 10:15, suspect entered
Rudy's Bar and Grill."
Copy !req
296. Aha! "10:16, suspect
showed picture...
Copy !req
297. "of wife and child to Rudy.
Copy !req
298. Refused free beer."
Copy !req
299. I always carry that picture.
Copy !req
300. "10:30, visited park.
Fed starving pigeons.
Copy !req
301. "Bought matches
from little match girl.
Copy !req
302. "Attended church. Came home.
Copy !req
303. "Found wife asleep.
Copy !req
304. "Kissed wife good night.
Copy !req
305. Went to bed."
Copy !req
306. Herman, I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
307. I-I never should
have blamed you...
Copy !req
308. for doing anything
wrong, pussycat.
Copy !req
309. I-I'll never mistrust
you again...
Copy !req
310. in all my lives.
Copy !req
311. There, there, Lily.
Uh, I forgive you, dear.
Copy !req
312. Uh, but I always want
you to remember this...
Copy !req
313. I want you to
remember one thing.
Copy !req
314. In the great vegetable
market of life,
Copy !req
315. I have never been one
to pinch the tomatoes.
Copy !req
316. Herman!
Copy !req
317. You're not going
out again tonight.
Copy !req
318. You want to get in trouble
again? No, Grandpa.
Copy !req
319. It's just that I did such a
good job as Agent 702,
Copy !req
320. the Kempner Agency called
me up and gave me another case.
Copy !req
321. I'm gonna be a bodyguard.
Copy !req
322. There's some poor unfortunate woman
whose husband has been threatening her.
Copy !req
323. And my orders are,
if he comes around,
Copy !req
324. not to get violent,
just scare him away.
Copy !req
325. You?
Copy !req
326. How could you scare anybody?
Copy !req
327. It's nice of you to help me with
my charity drive tonight, Marilyn.
Copy !req
328. With all these problems, I've been
neglecting my house-to-house calls.
Copy !req
329. Well, Bundles for
Transylvania is a worthy cause.
Copy !req
330. Why, back in the Old Country
they should get down on all fours...
Copy !req
331. and thank you for
what you've done.
Copy !req
332. Come on, dear. Let's go.
Copy !req
333. I, um, I-I just wanted to
thank you, Mr. Kempner,
Copy !req
334. for sending over a bodyguard
wearing such a frightening disguise.
Copy !req
335. Yes. Yes, I'm sure he'll scare my
husband away if he comes around.
Copy !req
336. Oh, and, um,
Copy !req
337. I want to apologize for fainting
when Agent 702 showed up.
Copy !req
338. Yes. For a minute I thought
he really looked like that.
Copy !req
339. Yes. Well, thank you
again, Mr. Kempner.
Copy !req
340. Good-bye.
Copy !req
341. You're sure I can't get you
some coffee or something?
Copy !req
342. Oh, no, thank you.
I'm-I'm very comfy.
Copy !req
343. Don't worry. I'll get it.
Copy !req
344. Good evening.
I'm collecting for...
Copy !req
345. Herman! What are you doing here?
Copy !req
346. Oh, Lily.
Copy !req
347. W-Well, you see, I... If that's
my husband, get rid of him.
Copy !req
348. Uncle Herman! Eh... Lily,
Copy !req
349. you may not believe this,
but I'm Secret Agent 702.
Copy !req
350. Herman, you may
not believe this,
Copy !req
351. but I'm Sonny Liston!
Copy !req
352. Come on, Marilyn.
Copy !req
353. And when the Kempner
Detective Agency...
Copy !req
354. gave me the job of being
bodyguard to Mrs. Andrews,
Copy !req
355. I was on my way to fame
and fortune as a detective.
Copy !req
356. Tsk. But tonight when you
knocked me out, they fired me.
Copy !req
