have the most marvelous surprise for you. For me?

We're going to have the whole house redecorated.

Oh, but Maggie, we just had the whole house redecorated. But that's not the

point. It's a political move.

You see, Omay, the famous Parisian interior decorator, has just opened an

in town.

Well, Luella Kendall thinks he's about the last word.

Now, when Luella finds out he's done our house, she'll think we're really people

of quality.

It may mean we'll get into who's who.

You might be invited to join the golf club.

Maggie, did you realize before we came into all this money I was a letter

carrier?

Golf club.

Yes, Madame, this is Aubrey.

Who?

Oh, Mrs.

Merch. Yes, how do you do? How are you?

I'm sorry, Madame, but some lumpy men are walking in the corridor.

Could you please come to my office, say, at 12 o 'clock?

Oh, thank you.

I'll be there.

Thank you so much.

I'm the king now. Crown me.

You're lucky.

You guys don't get to work, I'll crown you. Get it out of here.

Quiet!

Quiet!

What's all the fuss, mademoiselle?

Name of a pig. How is it possible to make so much noise painting?

You don't know us guys.

We make noise stuffing a mattress.

Easy,

easy, easy.

See? He don't mean nothing.

Those tassels drive him nuts. When he was a baby, somebody tickled him with a

pussy willow.

This is the only thing that'll bring him out of it, see?

Hey,

you.

Who, me?

Yeah, you. Come here.

It's the boss.

Show a little interest in your work.

What's the trouble, boss? The tenants are all kicking for signs on their

We'll have to use these stencils temporarily.

Okay. Wait a minute.

They're all in order.

Now put them on just as they are. These go on this side. These go on that side.

That's a cinch.

These go on this side. These go on that side. That's right. Make it snappy.

Okay. These go on this side. These go on that side. These go on this side. These

go on that side.

These go on this side. These go on that side. Right.

Hey!

You've got to get going.

Here. Put these stencils on the doors on the left side of the hall.

You take the right side.

Where are you going?

I'm going to get my brush. I'm the period man.

Which is the left side?

That's the left.

Which is right?

The one that's left.

That's right.

No, that's left.

That's... Well,

boys, there's a pretty good morning's work.

How about some lunch? That's a good idea. Where we go?

Let's try the Ritz. Oh, I'm getting tired of it. How about the Wal -Mart?

tired of both those places. Let's go to Biltmore.

Have you got a quarter on you? I had three cents when I came in this morning.

Somebody borrowed it from me.

Any gay they all say.

8K or 8 say on.

Hey, what are you guys doing? Talking behind my back?

Nobody's talking behind your back.

That's Pig Latin.

Sure, anybody can understand it. It's very simple.

Well, I can't, and I'm simple.

Now, listen.

You tell him.

My name is Moe. How are you? Fine, thanks. My name is Moe. In Pig Latin,

that's Ome.

My name is Larry. Now, what's that in Pig Latin?

Ome.

It's Harry Lay.

Boy, are you um -day.

Oh, you mean I'm um -day in pig language?

You're um -day in any language. Oh, thank you.

Now I'll explain it so even you can understand it.

Now follow me.

Larry Arilay.

Moe Omey.

Curly Curlicue.

Ome? Oh, your wife's to it, too, eh?

Ome's inside. I'm on day.

Come right in, lady. We wasn't expecting any company.

Ome?

Sure. I'm Ome.

Oh, I'm so glad to find you here.

I wanted to ask you about...

Easy now. Easy.

You

see,

he don't mean any harm, lady. He's a little touched in the head about

Oh. Now what can we do for you?

Yes.

What's the meaning of that?

Don't explain.

I'm giving up my lease right now.

Excuse us, ladies.

What are you yelling about? Some meaning of that. Don't explain.

You're fired.

Now come into my office and get your pay.

I'll give us another chance. Another chance, all right.

I think you'd better tell Mrs. Smite she will take that job.

When did he move his office to the basement?

A week ago.

Must be a shortcut.

All right, boys, let's start on that table.

Gentlemen, you're not going to paint that table.

Why, certainly.

But you can't do that. It's a rare antique.

What, that old thing?

It once belonged to Louis XVI.

Oh, secondhand, eh?

Go on now, take a spin around the pantry.

Gosh,

I'd sure like to help. You know, I haven't had a paintbrush in my hand in

Sure, you can help.

Go on out there and mix us a batch of spotted paint. Oh, swell, swell.

Hey, hey, hey. Look what you're doing there. Why don't you be careful? All

right, I'm sorry. Come on, snap it up. Your lady's going to have a card game.

All right.

Shit.

Wait a minute. What's the idea?

Don't get excited.

Don't get excited.

Got time to look on business. It's my hand, my hand.

Oh, my error.

Go on, get busy.

Hey, what's the idea?

What's the idea?

Now, wait a minute. It's all a mistake. He didn't mean anything.

All right, but don't let it happen again.

Okay, we'll bury the hatchet. Oh, no.

I mean shake hands and make up.

Go on, be a sport. Well, all right.

See, he starts all over again. Wait a minute. Take it easy now.

Oh, boy, lunch.

There we are. Thanks.

You can go.

We'll eat our lunch while we work. Come on.

Hey, why don't you watch what you're doing?

Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't drink coffee so you can have mine.

Oh, a practical joke, all right.

I'll fix you, but it's fine. Wait a minute. Go on. Get back to work. You all

stick up for him. Go on, numbskull.

You guys had watched what you're doing. You wouldn't make so many mistakes.

Well, here we are.

And oh, by the way, you're going to have a chance to meet Ome, the decorator.

He's going to call this afternoon.

Really?

My

part's

done.

How are you going to get down without spoiling the paint?

I got it.

You carry me down.

Am I dumb?

Hop up here. Up, Sir Daisy.

Yes, sir.

You're getting to be a metal giant.

Thanks.

Something went wrong. Can I help it?

Oh, there's O'May.

O'May? Yes.

Come and meet him.

Hiya, Mrs. March.

O'May, I want you to meet Mrs. Pendle.

She's the one that said that your work is very recherche.

Oh, anybody's liable to make a mistake.

Yeah. Shut up. Hold that.

Hiya, Mrs. Pendle.

Meet my partner.

Hello. Well,

that's that.

Get some work done. Here.

Hey, what about my hair?

I gave it back to you, didn't I? Come on.

We've got everything finished except this room. But you kids can go on with

game. You won't interfere with us.

Get back there and get busy. Get that ladder up there.

What are you trying to do?

I thought it was golden denim. Get up there and paint that cuckoo. He'll be

any minute.

Get up there.

Hey, Rembrandt, what's the idea?

I was painting the cuckoo, but it won't be out for another hour.

Oh,

I

do hope I win today, dearie. You know, I just remember I owe you 360 from last

week.

Mrs. Smirch, okay?

But I insist upon seeing Mrs. Smirch. Mrs. Smirch does not wish to be

Then she's in there.

Yes.

Isn't that a hand?

So this is what takes place.

This is a fraud.

Who are you?

Something's going on here, boys. Looks like something's coming off, too.

Shut up.

Aha!

I see it all now.

You have double -crossed me. You sent these cheap painters here in my place.

Are they paying you a bigger commission than I?

Get the idea?

That old dame's a crook. Let's give her the rattle -daddle. Right, right, right,

right, right, right. Look out there.

Now they'll be out any minute.

So you see, madame, I am the original only.

Well, I never was so insulted in my whole life.

Come, girls.

Get back.

Well, this is the last time I'll ever come to this house.

A bow tie, eh?
