1. Who's there? Mailman.
Copy !req
2. Special delivery.
Sign here, please.
Copy !req
3. Thank you.
Copy !req
4. You know, Lily, I think our
mailman is overcoming his shyness.
Copy !req
5. He used to stand across the street
and throw the mail over our wall.
Copy !req
6. What's the special delivery?
It's a box from Transylvania.
Copy !req
7. The last time we got a
box from the old country...
Copy !req
8. there was somebody in it.
Copy !req
9. I think this is a little
too small for that.
Copy !req
10. Lily, it's ticking.
Copy !req
11. It's ticking. It's a time bomb.
Copy !req
12. Your rotten old relatives are
trying to blow us all to smithereens.
Copy !req
13. Quick, get a pail of water,
get a fire extinguisher.
Copy !req
14. Grandpa, Marilyn. Come quickly.
Copy !req
15. Herman, don't hold it. It's
dangerous. You're right. Here.
Copy !req
16. Herman, come back here.
Copy !req
17. We've kept it under the
water for 20 minutes now.
Copy !req
18. I guess we can take it out.
Copy !req
19. It's probably from Uncle Boris.
Copy !req
20. You know, he and Rasputin always
used to exchange bombs at Christmastime.
Copy !req
21. Stopped ticking. Open
it up, Uncle Herman.
Copy !req
22. I'll just take it over
here by the light.
Copy !req
23. It started ticking.
Copy !req
24. It's ticking, ticking,
ticking, ticking.
Copy !req
25. Herman, son-in-law, dear.
Copy !req
26. Would you like to know
what's ticking? What?
Copy !req
27. The clock on the wall.
Copy !req
28. Dumb old clock.
Copy !req
29. Hickory dickory dock.
Copy !req
30. He can't tell a bomb
from a cuckoo clock.
Copy !req
31. Never mind him,
Pop. What's in the box?
Copy !req
32. Just hold on a
second and I'll tell you.
Copy !req
33. I hope it's one of those fruitcakes
with the raisins that wiggle.
Copy !req
34. I'll be darned.
Copy !req
35. It's a legal document...
Copy !req
36. from our cousin Wolverine's
lawyer in the old country.
Copy !req
37. Cousin Wolfy?
Copy !req
38. But he passed away
three years ago.
Copy !req
39. I know, but he's
just done it again.
Copy !req
40. And this time...
Copy !req
41. he's left us $10,000.
Copy !req
42. Boy, can we use this
money, or can't we?
Copy !req
43. Herman, we sure can. Look, we'll
sink it into one of my inventions.
Copy !req
44. Now, as soon as we cash
the check... Wait a minute.
Copy !req
45. I'm not going to have you two fritter
away this money on some silly invention.
Copy !req
46. As a matter of fact, I've always wanted
to open a little business of my own...
Copy !req
47. and make a little extra
income for the family.
Copy !req
48. That's a good idea, dear,
but I am head of the house.
Copy !req
49. I have an idea. Now, Uncle Herman,
why don't you take half the money...
Copy !req
50. and, Aunt Lily, you
take the other half...
Copy !req
51. and we'll see who can
put it to the best use?
Copy !req
52. Good idea.
Copy !req
53. Well, all right.
Copy !req
54. Oh. Herman...
Copy !req
55. we'll use your half of the money
to perfect my greatest invention.
Copy !req
56. This invention is a machine...
Copy !req
57. that will transmit electric
power through the air...
Copy !req
58. without the use of wires.
Copy !req
59. Oh.
Copy !req
60. Well, you two can
do what you want.
Copy !req
61. But I'm going to enter a field
where I have a natural aptitude.
Copy !req
62. I am going to open
a beauty parlor.
Copy !req
63. Aunt Lily, I think it's wonderful you
have all the beauty preparations...
Copy !req
64. that have been in
the family for years.
Copy !req
65. This River Nile mud did wonders
for Cleopatra's complexion.
Copy !req
66. It kept her honeymoon fresh
through four different marriages.
Copy !req
67. Aunt Lily, I hope we make a
success of the beauty parlor...
Copy !req
68. and then we can show
Uncle Herman and Grandpa...
Copy !req
69. that we're much better in the
business world than they are.
Copy !req
70. We haven't much
to worry about there.
Copy !req
71. When they put their heads
together nothing happens.
Copy !req
72. Herman, will you watch it?
Copy !req
73. And just remember, you're
only an apprentice mad scientist.
Copy !req
74. I'll tell you when to do
something stupid. Come here.
Copy !req
75. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
76. Grandpa, you really think
you can invent a machine...
Copy !req
77. that will send power
through the air without wires?
Copy !req
78. Didn't I already invent a way...
Copy !req
79. to send messages
though the air without wire?
Copy !req
80. Yeah, sure you did.
Copy !req
81. But after the pigeons died,
you had to go out of business.
Copy !req
82. Never mind that. Hand
me the rotating oscillators.
Copy !req
83. Rotating oscillators?
Copy !req
84. They look like two
eggbeaters to me.
Copy !req
85. Who asked for an opinion?
Copy !req
86. Now, hand me the
spherical rectifiers.
Copy !req
87. These two old
crummy bowling balls?
Copy !req
88. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
89. Where is your scientific mind?
Copy !req
90. I mean, if Thomas Edison
had had you helping him...
Copy !req
91. we'd all be watching
gas television.
Copy !req
92. May I help you, ladies?
Copy !req
93. Yes. I am Mrs. Harkness,
the Mrs. Harkness...
Copy !req
94. and this is my
daughter Dorothea.
Copy !req
95. We saw your little shop
and it looked so quaint.
Copy !req
96. Mother and I are always looking
for something new and different.
Copy !req
97. You see, the ball of the season is
coming up, and Dorothea and I...
Copy !req
98. are determined to be
a dramatic success.
Copy !req
99. Now, all you have to do is make
us beautiful. We're already rich.
Copy !req
100. Ladies, you see,
here at Lily's...
Copy !req
101. we feature the
glamorous Old World look.
Copy !req
102. And Madame Lily
is our beauty expert.
Copy !req
103. Here she is now.
Greetings, ladies.
Copy !req
104. Mother, what is that? Oh,
they're all characters my dear.
Copy !req
105. You remember our last beautician wore
a beard? But she did marvelous work.
Copy !req
106. Now, I tell you what, you just
leave yourselves in our hands...
Copy !req
107. and we'll create something
for you, just for you...
Copy !req
108. that is utterly, utterly
new and different.
Copy !req
109. Very well. If you
can guarantee...
Copy !req
110. that when we enter the
ballroom, all heads will turn.
Copy !req
111. Rest assured.
Copy !req
112. When we're finished with you...
Copy !req
113. people will not be able
to believe their eyes.
Copy !req
114. Thank you.
Copy !req
115. Herman, the machine is finished.
And we're ready for our first test.
Copy !req
116. You really think it will transmit
electrical power through the air?
Copy !req
117. We'll know in a minute. Now, Herman,
you just take this electric light bulb...
Copy !req
118. and stand over there.
Copy !req
119. Now, when I turn on the
machine, that will light the bulb.
Copy !req
120. Yeah? Yeah.
Copy !req
121. Now get ready.
Copy !req
122. We did it. We did it!
Copy !req
123. This ought to show
up Lily and Marilyn.
Copy !req
124. There. Now, put down the bulb
and pick up the electric shaver.
Copy !req
125. It works. It works!
Copy !req
126. It's a triumph. This is a moment
that will go down in scientific history.
Copy !req
127. Herman, what are you doing?
Copy !req
128. As long as it's running, I thought
I'd give myself a quick shave.
Copy !req
129. A little more toadstool
base for Mrs. Harkness.
Copy !req
130. Thank you.
Copy !req
131. Now, while that's soaking...
Copy !req
132. I'll curl Dorothea's hair.
Copy !req
133. Get back in the chair,
dear. This won't hurt a bit.
Copy !req
134. And now for the supreme test.
When I turn on the machine...
Copy !req
135. I'm going to light all the streetlights
in the city by remote control.
Copy !req
136. Oh, boy, oh, boy,
oh, boy, oh, boy.
Copy !req
137. Is this a momentous event?
Copy !req
138. I haven't been this excited since the
Moon Maid had a baby on Dick Tracy.
Copy !req
139. Quiet, Herman. Quiet.
Copy !req
140. I'm gonna turn on
the machine full blast.
Copy !req
141. You know something, Grandpa...
Copy !req
142. I don't think this machine is quite
ready to be put on the market yet.
Copy !req
143. Well, Marilyn, both ladies are
finished. We are ready for the unveiling.
Copy !req
144. Fine. Mrs. Harkness,
Dorothea, you can come out now.
Copy !req
145. Didn't they turn out well?
Copy !req
146. Let's see how you look, Mother.
Copy !req
147. Dorothea! Mother!
Copy !req
148. You know, Aunt Lily, I have a suspicion
that we've gotten off to a bad start.
Copy !req
149. Mr. Holmes, there
are two women here...
Copy !req
150. who claim to be Mrs.
Harkness and her daughter.
Copy !req
151. Claim to be? They're two of my
oldest clients. Don't you recognize them?
Copy !req
152. I'm afraid not, Mr. Holmes. And
I don't think you will either, sir.
Copy !req
153. Send them right in. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
154. You may come in.
Copy !req
155. Ladies. This is a...
Copy !req
156. Help! Help! Get them
out of here. What is this?
Copy !req
157. Will you please get down
from there, Mr. Holmes?
Copy !req
158. It's only us. Mrs.
Harkness and Dorothea.
Copy !req
159. So it is. What happened?
Copy !req
160. This is the result of a
visit to a beauty parlor.
Copy !req
161. From the evidence, we'll
have no trouble suing at all.
Copy !req
162. As a matter of fact, we stand a good
chance of sending the culprits to jail.
Copy !req
163. You're so reassuring.
I could just kiss you.
Copy !req
164. Get away! Get away
from me or I'll scream.
Copy !req
165. Will you please get
down, Mr. Holmes...
Copy !req
166. and let us tell you
the facts of the case?
Copy !req
167. "And unless you restore my
clients to their former beauty...
Copy !req
168. "you will be liable for
damages and prosecution...
Copy !req
169. "to the fullest
extent of the law.
Copy !req
170. "Signed, Edgar Z.
Holmes, Attorney."
Copy !req
171. Why, I never... Have you
ever... Can you imagine, Marilyn?
Copy !req
172. They want to
look like they did...
Copy !req
173. when they came in here?
Copy !req
174. Of all things.
Copy !req
175. I guess there are a lot of
sick people in this world.
Copy !req
176. Isn't it a shame?
Copy !req
177. We're having so much trouble...
Copy !req
178. and Grandpa and Uncle Herman
are doing so well with their experiment.
Copy !req
179. Destroying municipal property?
Copy !req
180. $1,000 fine? Police? Jail?
Copy !req
181. Yes, I think I get the picture.
Thanks a lot for calling.
Copy !req
182. What's the matter, Grandpa?
Copy !req
183. Are they annoyed with us for destroying
their street lamps and equipment?
Copy !req
184. Yes, and they traced it to us.
Copy !req
185. And if we don't pay a $1,000
fine, they're gonna throw us in jail.
Copy !req
186. Oh. Oh, oh, oh, dear.
Copy !req
187. Spending time behind bars?
Copy !req
188. This may get me thrown
out of the Indian Guides.
Copy !req
189. Now, you're sure when
we walk out of here...
Copy !req
190. our former appearance
will be completely restored?
Copy !req
191. Yes. If you want to go through
life looking the way you did...
Copy !req
192. there's nothing
we can do about it.
Copy !req
193. And now we'll apply
our special neutralizer.
Copy !req
194. Well, Herman, good
as new. Oh, goody.
Copy !req
195. Let's blow out all the
street lamps again.
Copy !req
196. Herman, will you cool it?
Copy !req
197. This time we're gonna be more
cautious, try something a little easier.
Copy !req
198. What are we gonna do?
Copy !req
199. Instead of fooling with the
electric power plant this time...
Copy !req
200. I'll just turn on the lights in Lily's
beauty shop by remote control.
Copy !req
201. Neato.
Copy !req
202. Ready? Ready.
Copy !req
203. Dorothea, do you feel
anything? Yes, Mother.
Copy !req
204. Something like a current
going through my head.
Copy !req
205. That's just the effect
of the neutralizer.
Copy !req
206. It's working. It's working.
Copy !req
207. Now we'll lift up the dryers and
see how their hair turned out.
Copy !req
208. Let me out of here.
Copy !req
209. Let me out of here.
Copy !req
210. My beautiful hair.
My crowning glory.
Copy !req
211. Mother, you look
like a plucked chicken.
Copy !req
212. Don't tell me how I look,
you gruesome little brat.
Copy !req
213. Don't you have anything to say?
Copy !req
214. Yes. Will this be
cash or charge?
Copy !req
215. Mrs. Harkness and her daughter
are here again, Mr. Holmes.
Copy !req
216. Send them in. I'm quite
sure they look a lot different...
Copy !req
217. from the last time
they were here.
Copy !req
218. They do, sir.
Copy !req
219. You can come in now.
Copy !req
220. Ladies, I'm...
Copy !req
221. Excuse me a minute.
Copy !req
222. Yes, I think I feel better
now. Won't you be seated?
Copy !req
223. Tell me what happened.
Copy !req
224. Cigars, gentlemen? I'm sorry.
Copy !req
225. You're sorry? Look at us!
Copy !req
226. I demand action
against those people.
Copy !req
227. We went back to
Madame Lily's and...
Copy !req
228. "Therefore, on
behalf of my clients...
Copy !req
229. "we are instigating a
lawsuit against you...
Copy !req
230. "demanding $10,000 in damages."
Copy !req
231. Lily, I hate to say "I
told you so," dear...
Copy !req
232. but I've been against this beauty
parlor idea from the beginning.
Copy !req
233. Now, you say that these women...
Copy !req
234. lost their hair in the beauty
shop yesterday afternoon?
Copy !req
235. That's right, Grandpa.
Copy !req
236. It was about 3:30.3:30.
Copy !req
237. Lily...
Copy !req
238. I would say that with your poor
judgment in business matters...
Copy !req
239. you have frittered away your
share of Cousin Wolverine's money.
Copy !req
240. Frittered. Frittered. Frittered.
Frittered. Frittered. Frittered.
Copy !req
241. I would also like
to add at this time...
Copy !req
242. that at exactly 3:30, Grandfather
and I were perfecting our ray machine.
Copy !req
243. And it was exactly
at that time...
Copy !req
244. that we turned on the
lights in your beauty shop.
Copy !req
245. Well, the lights
did go on and off...
Copy !req
246. and then there was a strange
humming in the dryers...
Copy !req
247. and then the two
women lost their hair.
Copy !req
248. Very interesting.
Very interesting.
Copy !req
249. But I don't think anything can
be gained by clouding the issue...
Copy !req
250. with inconsequential trivia.
Copy !req
251. Excuse me, Perry
Mason, will you knock it off?
Copy !req
252. - What's the matter?
- What's the matter?
Copy !req
253. At exactly 3:30
yesterday afternoon...
Copy !req
254. while we were
trying to contact...
Copy !req
255. the beauty parlor with
our energy machine...
Copy !req
256. those two women lost their hair.
Copy !req
257. To put it in legal terms...
Copy !req
258. they are the baldees,
we are the baldors.
Copy !req
259. Herman, is this true?
Copy !req
260. It couldn't be.
Copy !req
261. Grandpa and I were
working together...
Copy !req
262. I mean, it was our scheme, it...
Copy !req
263. I mean, jointly,
he and I were...
Copy !req
264. He's the man who did it.
There's your man right there.
Copy !req
265. I was just a poor, dumb tool
in the hands of this Svengali.
Copy !req
266. Herman, what are you saying?
Copy !req
267. I have never seen this
man before in my life.
Copy !req
268. Stop it, both of you.
We're all in this together.
Copy !req
269. Now let's just figure a way
out of this terrible trouble.
Copy !req
270. It's the police.
It's the police.
Copy !req
271. They've come to get us. I'm
too young to go to reform school.
Copy !req
272. Herman, you just stay here.
Copy !req
273. Marilyn and I will
answer the door.
Copy !req
274. Come on, Grandpa, now's our
chance. We can hide in the cellar.
Copy !req
275. Right behind you, coward.
Copy !req
276. It's us, Mrs. Harkness
and Dorothea.
Copy !req
277. Your hair. It's grown back in.
Copy !req
278. And it's so beautiful.
Copy !req
279. And, Madame Lily, it was
your treatment that did it.
Copy !req
280. Overnight it grew
back like this.
Copy !req
281. We must run along, my dears.
Copy !req
282. We just wanted to tell you
we talked to our lawyer...
Copy !req
283. and we have decided to
finance your amazing method.
Copy !req
284. Mother says we'll
all make millions.
Copy !req
285. One can never be too rich,
you know. I'm delighted but...
Copy !req
286. I'll need a little time to talk this
over with my father and my husband.
Copy !req
287. By all means do. We're
so grateful to the two of you.
Copy !req
288. Goodbye, my dears. Goodbye.
Copy !req
289. Bye. Bye-bye, now.
Copy !req
290. Herman, Grandpa,
come up here quickly.
Copy !req
291. That machine of Grandpa's
will make a fortune for us.
Copy !req
292. Our troubles are over. We
have something to tell you.
Copy !req
293. Us first. Our troubles are over
and we have something to tell you.
Copy !req
294. Yes. Lily, you have
nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
295. They have no
evidence against us.
Copy !req
296. Your brilliant husband and I just
destroyed our power ray machine.
Copy !req
297. That's right. We
did it together.
Copy !req
298. But that machine
was worth millions.
Copy !req
299. It grows beautiful,
luxurious hair overnight.
Copy !req
300. He's the man who
broke it. He did it. Huh?
Copy !req
301. He did it. He did it. He did it.
Copy !req
302. There, I think I've got
all the bugs out of it now.
Copy !req
303. Stand over there.
Copy !req
304. When I turn it on
now, you'll have more
Copy !req
305. hair on your head than
the barbershop floor.
Copy !req
306. Yeah.
Copy !req
307. Yeah.
Copy !req
308. I don't feel anything
yet. I'll turn up the juice.
Copy !req
309. Still don't feel anything.
Copy !req
310. There. If that don't
do it, nothing will.
Copy !req
311. There's enough current flowing through
there to grow hair on a bowling ball.
Copy !req
312. Grandpa...
Copy !req
313. you just took the
words out of my mouth.
Copy !req
314. I'm ruined, ruined,
ruined, ruined, ruined.
Copy !req
315. Cheer up, Grandpa. Cheer up!
Copy !req
316. If we can find a market
for hairy bowling balls...
Copy !req
317. we can make a fortune.
Copy !req
