amphibious
and shoot with your left.
You can count two,
can't you?
Hurry up,
now!
- Can't raise the other one.
- What's the matter with it?
Rheumatism...
in the shoulder.
Inflammatory?
Was...
The inflammation has gone down.
Don't stand there making faces,
If you've come to burgle
why don't you do it?
There's some stuff lying around.
Excuse me,
it's good for you
that rheumatism and me
happens to be old pals.
I got it in my
left arm, too.
Most anybody but me
would have popped you
when you wouldn't hoist
that left claw of yours.
Tell me please, how long
have you had it?
Four years...
I guess that ain't all.
Once you've got it, it's you for
a rheumatic life – that's my judgment.
- Well, ever try rattlesnake oil?
- Gallons,
If all the snakes I've used the oil
of was strung out in a row
they'd reach eight times
as far as Saturn and back.
- Some use Chiselum's Pills.
- Fudge!
Took 'em five months. No good.
I had some relief the year I tried
Finkelham's Extract... - Finkelhait's.
Yes, Finkelhait's... and when
I used Potts's Pain Pulverizer,
I felt oneself better.
But I think it was the buckeye
I carried in my pocket
what done the trick.
Is yours worse in the morning
or at night?
Night, just when I'm busiest.
Say, take down that arm of yours.
Say! Did you ever try..?
Damn!...
Forgot...
Here is it...
- Ahem! Blickerstaff's
Blood Builder... - Did you?
Blickerstaff's...
- You know, I never did.
- It's a pity.
Does yours come in paroxysms
or is it a steady pain?
It jumps...
It strikes me when
I ain't looking for it.
I had to give up second-story work
because I got stuck
sometimes half-way up.
- I see!
- Tell you what -
I don't believe the blooming doctors
know what is good for it. - Same here.
I've spent a thousand dollars
without getting any relief.
- Yours swell any?
- Of mornings.
And when it's going to rain -
great Christopher! - Me, too...
I can tell when a streak of humidity
the size of a table-cloth
starts from Florida and...
with the approach of it,
I began to feel badly,
And if I pass a theatre
where there's
the moisture starts my left arm
an 'East Lynne' matinee going on,
jumping like a toothache.
- It's undiluted - hades!
You're dead right.
Say, old man,
ever try opodeldoc?
Slop! Might as well rub
on restaurant butter.
Sure, It's a salve
suitable for little Minnie
when the kitty
scratches her finger.
- Sure?
- Sure.
I'll tell you what!
We're up against it.
You are right.
- I only find one thing that
helps in our life. - Fomentations?
Saint Ignatius' nut?
Well, it's a...
Good Booze..! Eh?!
Don't take umbrage at me.
Say, this job's off -
get on your clothes
and let's go out and have some.
The devil take it!
For a week I haven't been able
to dress myself without help.
I'm afraid Thomas is in bed, and...
Climb out, I'll help
you get into your duds.
You know, it's very unusual...
- Here's your shirt.
- Of course.
I knew a man who said Omberry's
Ointment fixed him in two weeks
so he could use both hands
in tying his four-in-hand.
Liked to forgot my money,
laid it on the dresser last night.
Come on. I ask you. Leave it alone.
I've got the price.
Ever try the urine of young pig?
Young? It's interesting...
You know, my uncle...
THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF
Ahem! It's you...
How are you, Sam?
- You know, we have joint capital
of about... - Five hundred dollars.
That's just the point.
We cannot begin new business...
with such money.
To pull off a fraudulent scheme
in Western Illinois, we need more...
...Two thousand dollars.
- But where will we get it?
I know...
I have one brilliant idea.
2000 dollars that is easy as pie.
- Bank robbery?
- No.
Express robbery?
Oh Bill, I am tired of fussing
like this. Listen closely...
The love of children...
The love of children...
It is strong in semi-rural communities.
Did you get me?
- No.
Kid...
Kidnapping.
Sam!
The money is ours in fact.
I've
