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