1. - Oh, there you are, Herman.
Copy !req
2. - Why haven't you come to bed?
- I'm just going over these bills.
Copy !req
3. Oh, you've been reading
in the dark again.
Copy !req
4. It'll ruin your eyes. And then we'll
have to get you another pair.
Copy !req
5. Lily, just look at this.
Copy !req
6. $103 for electricity!
Copy !req
7. Well, you know. Grandpa
needs a lot of electricity...
Copy !req
8. To carry on his experiments
in the dungeon.
Copy !req
9. Why can't he have
his dungeon in the attic,
where there's plenty of light?
Copy !req
10. And that's not all. There's taxes,
food, braces for Eddie's fangs...
Copy !req
11. I tell ya. I just can't sleep!
Copy !req
12. You poor dear.
You do look dead on your feet.
Copy !req
13. Why don't you take a nice,
long walk in the night air?
Copy !req
14. It may help
to clear your mind.
Copy !req
15. Okay, Lily.
I'll give it a try.
Copy !req
16. I think I'll talk a walk over
to Midcity Park.
Copy !req
17. It's quiet over there.
Copy !req
18. Chief Harris, we're still
getting complaints about that
mysterious purse-snatcher...
Copy !req
19. who's been seen
around Midcity Park.
Copy !req
20. All right, Sergeant. Have them put
a couple more squad cars in the area.
Copy !req
21. Yes, sir.
And tell them to pick up anybody
who even looks suspicious.
Copy !req
22. Okay, Chief.
Copy !req
23. Good evening.
Copy !req
24. Oh!
Copy !req
25. Police! Police! I want
to report a monster!
Copy !req
26. Here's your breakfast, Eddie.
Thanks, Mom.
Copy !req
27. Good morning, dear.
Good morning, dear.
Copy !req
28. Good morning, Marilyn.
Copy !req
29. Morning, Eddie!
Morning, Pop.!
Copy !req
30. Good morning, everybody!
Good morning, Grandpa.
Copy !req
31. How do you
want your eggs, Grandpa?
Gloomy-side up, please!
Copy !req
32. Well, I'm off.
Copy !req
33. Good-bye, everybody.
Bye!
Good-bye, dear.
Copy !req
34. Oh, the Angels won again!
Copy !req
35. There's a frightening headline.
Copy !req
36. "Creature Terrorizes
Midcity Park."
Copy !req
37. "Last night, the police department
received several reports...
Copy !req
38. "of what was described
by eyewitnesses...
Copy !req
39. "as a fiendish monster
roaming in Midcity Park...
Copy !req
40. at approximately 12:30 a.m."
Copy !req
41. Isn't that ridiculous?
Copy !req
42. It just so happens that
I was in the park last night,
at that time!
Copy !req
43. And I didn't see any fiends
or monsters.
Copy !req
44. Well, I'd just as soon you
wouldn't go walking in the park
at night for a while.
Copy !req
45. Ketchup, please.
Copy !req
46. Gee, Dad. Can I go with you to see
the fiendish monster next time?
Copy !req
47. Oh, for goodness' sakes, Eddie.
Copy !req
48. What's all this talk about
fiends and monsters?
There's no such thing.
Copy !req
49. Sit down and eat
your breakfast.
Copy !req
50. Just to be on the safe side,
I think we all...
Copy !req
51. ought to stay close to the house
for the time being.
Copy !req
52. Lily, none of this talk is gonna
stop me from taking my nightly walk.
Copy !req
53. I slept like a baby last night.
Copy !req
54. Walking seems to be the only thing
that cures my insomnia.
Copy !req
55. Don't make such a big deal out of it.
Copy !req
56. Lots of people have insomnia, and you
don't find them losing any sleep over it.
Copy !req
57. What's troubling you, anyway?
Copy !req
58. Well, Grandpa, we've been having
some financial worries lately.
Copy !req
59. Well it just so happens
that right now I am working
on a fabulous invention...
Copy !req
60. that will make this family
some big money.
Copy !req
61. - What kind of invention?
- I'm not talking.
Copy !req
62. Why, that's the way Edison got
the electric light away from me.
Copy !req
63. Quiet!
Now, everybody, calm down!
Copy !req
64. Just calm down.
Copy !req
65. - Now. What did he look like?
- Well, he was about nine feet tall.
Copy !req
66. And he was all green!
Copy !req
67. I know that guy.!
He's theJolly Green Giant.!
Copy !req
68. It was only a matter of time
till he ran amok.
Copy !req
69. And his hands were ice cold.
Yeah, I told ya.
Copy !req
70. It's that frozen food
he handles.
Copy !req
71. He had no hair,
and his eyes were bright red.
Copy !req
72. Oh, that's not true.!
Only the white parts were red.
Copy !req
73. All right, now.
Everybody please calm down!
Copy !req
74. Calm down here!
Now, it'll all be
taken care of.
Copy !req
75. I can assure you, the department
will do all it can...
Copy !req
76. to apprehend
this so-called "monster."
Copy !req
77. - I'll drink to that!
- The reporters would like
to ask a few questions, Chief.
Copy !req
78. No. I'm sorry. Now now, gentlemen.
When we have a statement ready,
we'll let you know.
Copy !req
79. Thank you very much.
Thank you. That'll be fine, folks.
Copy !req
80. Thank you all very much.
Copy !req
81. Why do things like this
have to happen just when there's
a shake-up in the department?
Copy !req
82. When the commissioner arrives,
I'll be in my office.
Okay, Chief.
Copy !req
83. Chief Harris here.
Give me the radio room.
Copy !req
84. Mulligan? Chief Harris.
Copy !req
85. I want an around-the-clock
stakeout in Midcity Park.
Copy !req
86. Tell them to be on the lookout
for a greenish man,
Copy !req
87. about nine or 10 feet tall,
Copy !req
88. with bright red eyes
and cold hands.
Copy !req
89. Mulligan, it's remarks like that...
Copy !req
90. that have kept you from making sergeant!
Copy !req
91. What is it, Grandpa?
What's it supposed to do?
Copy !req
92. [Grandpa, Laughing]
It's an enlarging machine.
Copy !req
93. It can make anything bigger.
Copy !req
94. Why, with this machine, I can make
an ordinary banana big enough...
Copy !req
95. to feed a family of monkeys
for a whole year!
Copy !req
96. Anything small, I can make big.
Copy !req
97. Ooh, why with this machine,
I could make Rhode Island...
Copy !req
98. the size ofTexas!
Copy !req
99. We'll make millions!
Then I'll make them bigger.
Copy !req
100. I could even make
the world's biggest Mickey Rooney.!
Copy !req
101. Here. Let me show you.
Copy !req
102. ?
Copy !req
103. Herman, honey? Lower.
Copy !req
104. ?
Copy !req
105. What was that?
Oh, that's just Grandpa, working on
his invention down in the lab.
Copy !req
106. Oh.
Copy !req
107. I don't understand it!
Hmm, why you...
Copy !req
108. Ooh, allow me.
Copy !req
109. I think I know what's wrong.
I'm not using enough electricity!
Copy !req
110. There we are, Edgar. Got a nice,
fresh box of goodies for you.
Copy !req
111. There you go.
Put him in the ca...
Copy !req
112. C-Ca...
Okay.
Copy !req
113. Wait.
Copy !req
114. So help me, Commissioner Ludlow,
that's what he said:
Copy !req
115. Nine feet tall and green!
Copy !req
116. Oh, ridiculous, Sergeant.
You must have misunderstood him.
Copy !req
117. Oh, hello there, Commissioner.
Just giving Edgar his din-din.
Copy !req
118. Harris...
Copy !req
119. Do you mind taking that bird
off of your head long enough...
Copy !req
120. to tell me what all this talk is
about monsters?
Copy !req
121. Herman? Aren't you ever
coming to bed?
Copy !req
122. What's the use?
Copy !req
123. I just don't seem to be able
to get any sleep anymore.
Copy !req
124. Have you tried counting wolves?
I've tried everything!
Copy !req
125. The only thing that seems to help
is taking a walk in the park.
Copy !req
126. Herman, I don't want you
to go to the park.
Copy !req
127. Not with that fiend, or monster,
running around loose.
Copy !req
128. Lily. Honestly,
you're worse than Eddie.
Copy !req
129. In this day and age,
no enlightened person believes
in fiends and monsters.
Copy !req
130. Nevertheless, I don't want you
to go walking around in the park.
Copy !req
131. Not until they catch whatever it is.
Copy !req
132. Lily. I'm a full-grown man.
Copy !req
133. I refuse to be caught up
in this... hysteria.
Copy !req
134. If a man can't feel safe
in the streets of his own town,
what's this country coming to?
Copy !req
135. What's that?
That's just Grandpa again,
working on his invention.
Copy !req
136. That settles it. I'll never
get any sleep around here.
Copy !req
137. Lily, I'm going out.
Copy !req
138. Good night, dear.
Copy !req
139. Terrific, terrific, Eddie.
We'll make millions!
Copy !req
140. Now. Now. Just keep your eye
on this pencil.
Copy !req
141. Watch this.
Copy !req
142. Grandpa, that's great!
Copy !req
143. You turned that into
the biggest pencil I ever saw!
Copy !req
144. Can you make me bigger too?
I want to be as big as Daddy.
Copy !req
145. Of course!
Copy !req
146. Now, just stand right here.
Copy !req
147. Don't move! Hold still!
Copy !req
148. Look what you did! What happened?
Copy !req
149. L-I must have put it in reverse.
It's all right. I'll fix it.
Copy !req
150. Hold still!
Copy !req
151. War surplus parts!
Copy !req
152. Here he comes! Get him.
Copy !req
153. Now, where the heck
is that fuse box?
Copy !req
154. Ah, here it is. Oh.
Copy !req
155. Now!
Copy !req
156. Maybe I'm not using
enough current!
Copy !req
157. Yeah!
Copy !req
158. There.
Copy !req
159. Herman!
Copy !req
160. What's the matter?
Don't be frightened.
Copy !req
161. I'll protect you.
What are you talking about?
Copy !req
162. Th-The thing.
The horrible thing.
Copy !req
163. You were right, Lily.
It grabbed me in the park.
Copy !req
164. It was awful.
It had two heads
and four long blue arms.
Copy !req
165. I warned you not to
go out there, Herman.
Copy !req
166. You won't have to warn me again.
Don't worry. I'm not stepping foot
out of this house...
Copy !req
167. until they catch that thing!
Oh, shush.
Hush, dear. Hush, dear.
Copy !req
168. There's no sense alarming
the rest of the family.
Copy !req
169. We just won't mention
this to them.
Copy !req
170. Now, let's go on upstairs
and try to get some sleep.
Copy !req
171. Sleep? I'll never sleep again.
Copy !req
172. Oh, at least try.
Copy !req
173. Okay. I'll try.
Copy !req
174. But Lily, is it all right
if we leave the lights on?
Copy !req
175. I tell ya, Chief, like they said,
Copy !req
176. nine feet tall
and all green!
Copy !req
177. We're lucky to have escaped
with our lives!
Copy !req
178. The taxpayers aren't
paying you to escape.
You're supposed to capture him.
Copy !req
179. Like they do in the movies, you know?
Copy !req
180. Now, both of you, get back
to your posts in that park.
Copy !req
181. But, Chief, it's still dark out!
Copy !req
182. You wouldn't want to
walk us over there, would you?
Copy !req
183. Get outta here!
Copy !req
184. Just what in the name of
Pat O'Brien do you think you're doin'?
Copy !req
185. I'm holding up the ceiling, Commissioner.
May I suggest...
Copy !req
186. that your time would be
more profitably spent...
Copy !req
187. by trying to catch that monster
who has been terrorizing our parks?
Copy !req
188. Now, this is the last time
I intend to be awakened...
Copy !req
189. in the middle of the night
by citizens' committees, demanding
to know what's being done.
Copy !req
190. Yeah, but, Commissioner...
Unless you take immediate action
to apprehend this fiend,
Copy !req
191. you will be back pounding a beat
in the most desolate, deserted,
Copy !req
192. law-forsaken section of town
that I can find!
Copy !req
193. You got that, Harris?
Copy !req
194. Yes, sir. I'll get him tonight,
Commissioner.
Copy !req
195. That's my promise, or you
can have my badge, sir.
Copy !req
196. Oh, this is
a great moment for me.
Copy !req
197. All right, all right.
It's a great moment for us.
Copy !req
198. All of a sudden,
I've got a partner. Now.
Copy !req
199. How did this happen?
More current!
Copy !req
200. More current!
Copy !req
201. Men, it must have occurred
to you by now...
Copy !req
202. that we've had absolutely
no success whatsoever in
apprehending the monster...
Copy !req
203. that has been terrorizing
Midcity Park.
Copy !req
204. It's obvious that, in this case,
Copy !req
205. ingenuity, imagination,
intelligence... do not work.
Copy !req
206. Therefore, I have decided
to handle this matter myself.
Copy !req
207. That's all, men. Dismissed.
Copy !req
208. Is that the box, Sergeant?
Yes, sir. That's it.
Copy !req
209. What's in it?
Copy !req
210. That box contains
a secret formula that will manacle
the midnight marauder of Midcity Park!
Copy !req
211. ? "Chopsticks'"]
Copy !req
212. Lily, when is Grandpa gonna be
finished working in his laboratory?
Copy !req
213. The sound of that machinery
is making me nervous.
Copy !req
214. Now, you're just on edge because you
haven't been getting much sleep lately.
Copy !req
215. He should be turning it off soon.
It's getting pretty late.
By the way, what time is it?
Copy !req
216. At the tone, it'll be later
than you think. Nevermore.
Copy !req
217. I had no idea it was that late.
Where's Marilyn?
Copy !req
218. I'm glad to be able to say
she finally got a date tonight.
Copy !req
219. Oh! Well, isn't that nice?
Where did she go?
Copy !req
220. Oh, they went to a movie, and then
they're going for a walk in the park.
Copy !req
221. In the park?
In the park?
Copy !req
222. Eddie. How could you let
Marilyn go to the park with
that monster running around?
Copy !req
223. But you said there was
no such thing as monsters.
Copy !req
224. Oh, Herman.
What are we going to do?
Copy !req
225. Well, I guess someone will have
to go to the park and protect her.
Copy !req
226. I'll get my coat!
No!
Copy !req
227. Lily, I'll go alone.
Oh, y-you can't go
out there alone!
Copy !req
228. Why don't you
take Spot with you?
Copy !req
229. - Ha! Spot's afraid of his own shadow.
Copy !req
230. Come to think of it,
I don't blame him.
Copy !req
231. Chief Harris will be
right out, Commissioner.
Copy !req
232. Oh, what's takin' him
so long in there?
Copy !req
233. He didn't confide in me, sir.
He said he was workin'
on a secret weapon.
Copy !req
234. I guess he's ready.
You can go in now, sir.
Copy !req
235. Oh, hello, Commissioner.
Come in.
Copy !req
236. It's me.
Copy !req
237. Why couldn't I have been a fireman,
like my mother wanted me to?
Copy !req
238. - That's Marilyn.
Copy !req
239. I'd know her voice anywhere.
Copy !req
240. I'll have some more
of these pancakes.
Copy !req
241. You've had quite enough,
Grandpa.
Copy !req
242. The rest are for Herman.
After what he went through
last night,
Copy !req
243. he deserves them.
Sure, sure. Herman always
gets everything. Lucky stiff.
Copy !req
244. Good morning, everybody.
Good morning, Herman.
Copy !req
245. Morning, dear.
Copy !req
246. Oh! Good morning!
Copy !req
247. Ahh.
Copy !req
248. Oh. Thank you.
Copy !req
249. Good morning, everybody.
Good morning, dear.
Copy !req
250. Uncle Herman?
Yes, dear?
Copy !req
251. I want to apologize again for
causing you all so much worry.
Copy !req
252. Oh! That's all right, dear.
As I told you last night,
I wasn't hurt at all.
Copy !req
253. Fact is,
we came right home after the movie.
We never went near the park at all.
Copy !req
254. I'm glad you didn't.
It was terrible!
Copy !req
255. I've never had a more
hair-raising experience.
Copy !req
256. And if you think my hair
was raised, you should have seen
the hair on the baldheaded lady.
Copy !req
257. Herman, I've told you
a hundred million times, don't exaggerate.!
Copy !req
258. I'm not exaggerating.
It really happened.
Copy !req
259. Ohh!
Maybe there's something
about it in the paper.
Copy !req
260. You were right, Aunt Lily.
Here it is.
Copy !req
261. It says, "Last night, the police
apprehended the so-called monster...
Copy !req
262. "that has been terrorizing
Midcity Park.
Copy !req
263. "The monster was a known
purse-snatcher who disguised
his features...
Copy !req
264. by wearing a woman's stocking
over his head."
See?
Copy !req
265. I told you there was
no such thing as monsters.
Copy !req
266. "Credit for his capture goes to
Police Chief Harris,
Copy !req
267. "who used himself as bait by
disguising himself as a woman.
Copy !req
268. Well, I guess that explains
your baldheaded lady.
Copy !req
269. "He was heroically assisted
by an unknown citizen...
Copy !req
270. who has modestly refused
to come forward and reveal his identity."
Copy !req
271. Gee, Dad.
Weren't you scared?
Copy !req
272. Well, a little bit.
Copy !req
273. But remember this, Eddie.
Copy !req
274. It's the duty of every citizen
to protect the police.
Copy !req
275. According to the newspaper, Chief Harris
is getting a medal from the police
commissioner at this very moment!
Copy !req
276. Harris, I must admit
that in the past,
Copy !req
277. I've been a little leery about
your, uh... well, to say the least,
eccentric behavior.
Copy !req
278. But, I must say, you do
seem to get things done.
Copy !req
279. Well, thank you, sir.
Tell me, Harris.
Copy !req
280. Do you have any idea
who the citizen was
who came to your assistance?
Copy !req
281. Well, I don't know his name, sir,
but I think I could describe him.
Copy !req
282. Oh? What'd he look like?
Copy !req
283. Well, he was about nine
or 10 feet tall, with green skin,
uh, red eyes and long arms.
Copy !req
284. Fine. Right. Very good.
Copy !req
285. I don't know.
L-I apologize.
Copy !req
286. I'm sorry. I thought my machine
would make a fortune for this family.
Copy !req
287. But somehow, I just can't seem
to generate enough electricity.
Copy !req
288. That's all right, Grandpa.
Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
289. We all love you anyway,
Grandpa.
Copy !req
290. Ah, but one good thing though.
Copy !req
291. It did help cure Herman
of his insomnia.
Copy !req
292. How did you do it?
Ohh!
Copy !req
293. With one of these giant sleeping pills
I made with my machine!
Copy !req
294. How could he swallow that?
Oh, he didn't swallow that.
Copy !req
295. I accidentally dropped it
on his head.
Copy !req
