Ollie : Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into.
-
Lord Leopold Plumtree : [to Stan who is dressed as the maid] Pardon me, are you any relation to the butler?
Ollie : Oh, yes, yes, they're twins. You see, one was born in Detroit, the other in Mee-ami.
[laughs]
Lord Leopold Plumtree : I don't quite understand.
Ollie : Oh, that's all right. Neither do they.
[laughs]
-
Stan : [posing as the butler] You wish to see Colonel Buckshot?
Lord Leopold Plumtree : Why, I'd LOVE to! Hauw-haw-haw-huh-huh-huh-huh!
Stan : [turning away and calling toward the stairway] Colonel Buckshot!
[a few seconds pass with no answer]
Stan : Oh, Ollie - - uh - - Colonel Buckshot!
[No answer]
Stan : [speaking to Lord Plumtree and his wife] Wait there.
[He walks several yards to the foot of the stairs, then cups his hand to his mouth and hollers up the stairs]
Stan : Colonel BUCKshot...
[using his classic shrill whistle]
Stan : ... HHREEE-YER-REEET!
Ollie : [posing as Colonel Buckshot] What is it, Hives?
Stan : [wincing at the derogatory name Hardy has chosen for him] Lord Appletree - - he wants to rent a room.
Lord Leopold Plumtree : No, no, my dear fellow - - 'PLUMtree'. 'PLUMtree'. Lord Leopold 'Plumtree' - - my card. And I wish to rent the entire HOUSE.
[inspects the new card that Lord Plumtree has given him, then absently tosses the first card away]
-
Policeman : Say, Kelly, did a couple of bozos come through here?
Policeman : Yeah, a couple just ran in there, why?
Policeman : Well, they was trying to make a *hotel* out of the city park - - they had even put a couple of benches together so they could have twin beds! And when I told them to move on, the little fella tips his hat and says "yes ma'am." That's what I'm sore about!
Ollie : [after finding that they have gotten locked into Colonel Buckshot's cellar by the doors' outside latch-hooks falling shut] Well - - here's another nice mess you've gotten me into. "Yes, *Ma'am*"
[disgustedly takes a half-hearted swing at Stan]
-
Ollie : I beg your pardon, Lord Figtree!
Lord Leopold Plumtree : Plumtree, my dear fellow, Plumtree. My card.
-
Lord Leopold Plumtree : Oh, by the way, Colonel, do you have any horses?
Ollie : [posing as Colonel Buckshot] I'm sorry... I've just shipped all my horses to my plantation in Kentucky.
Lord Leopold Plumtree : Kentucky? What part of Kentucky do you come from, Colonel?
Ollie : [fondly and grandly] Omaha... dear old Omaha!
Stan : I thought Omaha was in Wisconsin.
-
Ollie : Oh, Agnes - - meet your new master, Lord Flagpole Crabtree.
Lord Leopold Plumtree : PLUMtree... PLUMtree! Lord Leopold PLUMtree! My cahd.
Ollie : That's RIGHT!
-
Ollie : Ahhh... at last I have found it, Lord Appletree!
Lord Leopold Ambrose Plumtree : Plumtree, my dear fellow! Plumtree! Accent on the "Lum". My card.
[He reaches in his pocket for another card, but accidentally takes out three cards at once, which he hands to Hardy]
Ollie : [leafing through the cards and reading them off one-by-one] "Plumtree"... "Plumtree"... "Plumtree"... I am awfully sorry.
-
Lord Leopold Plumtree : [shaking his hand in surprise and pain after the brace holding up the lid of the piano vibrates loose and the lid falls shut and pinches Lord Plumtree's finger] Oh, I say! I SAY!
Ollie : Oh, I beg your pardon, Lord Figtree!
Lord Leopold Plumtree : 'PLUMtree!' 'PLUMtree'! Lord Leopold 'Plumtree'!
[He hands Hardy another card]
Ollie : Ah, a thousand pardons - - my mistake!
-
Ollie : [to Stan] Come on! Let's reconoiter.
-
Ollie : Did you wish to see me?
Col. Wilburforce Buckshot : So, you're Colonel Buckshot?
Ollie : At your service. The last of the Kentucky Buckshots!
-
Ollie : There's a picture I must show you. That's a gondola going through the Panama Canal - in Venice.
-
Lord Leopold Ambrose Plumtree : [to Lady Plumtree] Now dear, will you return to the depot and attend to our trunks; while I go over final details with dear old Bucky.
Ollie : [pretending to be Col. Buckshot] Quite right, Plummy.
