  • Stannie Dum: You did.
  • Ollie Dee: Well, how'd you get down here?
  • Stannie Dum: I fell out the window.
  • Barnaby: Who is it?
  • Stannie Dum: It's me.
  • Barnaby: What do you want of this hour of the night?
  • Stannie Dum: Well, you see, Ollie and I are sorry for what happened this afternoon, and just to show you that we're not mad at you, we brought you a little Christmas present. It's from me and from Ollie.
  • Barnaby: [incredulously] Christmas present in the middle of July?
  • Stannie Dum: Oh, oh, yes. you see, we always do our Christmas shopping early. If you'll open the door, I'll bring it right in for you.
  • Barnaby: I'll be right down.
  • Ollie Dee: [Bo Peep is being forced to marry Barnaby] I'm sorry, Bo-Peep. That you have to choose me for the best man. Why'd rather do anything in this world that will have to give you away? Well, Stan is so upset he doesn't even going to the wedding.
  • [turning to Stannie]
  • Ollie Dee: You're upset aren't you, Stannie?
  • Stannie Dum: Upset? I'm housebroken.
  • Ollie Dee: Not housebroken!
  • [turning to Bo Peep]
  • Ollie Dee: He means heartbroken. 'Housebroken'. Huh!
  • [Stannie nibbles on pig sausage evidence]
  • Stannie Dum: It doesn't taste like pig sausage to me.
  • Ollie Dee: What does it taste like?
  • Stannie Dum: It tastes like pork. Try it.
  • Ollie Dee: [takes a bite] Why, that's neither pig nor pork. It's beef.
  • Stannie Dum: Beef?
  • Ollie Dee: I smell a rat.
  • [Stannie smells the sausage]
  • Ollie Dee: Barnaby's got a hand in that.
  • [Stannie starts examining the sausage]
  • Ollie Dee: I believe that Little Elmer is still alive...
  • [claps]
  • Ollie Dee: Come on, we'll find out.
  • [Stan and Ollie tries to rescue Little Elmer]
  • Ollie Dee: So far so good.
  • Stannie Dum: It wasn't so far. We just came across the street.
  • Ollie Dee: Well, There's nothing to be afraid of. You and he are just like that.
  • Stannie Dum: But, that was before we were married.
  • Barnaby: Big bait catches big rat!
  • Ollie Dee: Now, you may kiss the bride.
  • [lifts the veil to reveal Stannie, not Bo Peep. Barnaby looks shocked. Ollie bursts out laughing]
  • Barnaby: What's the meaning of this?
  • Ollie Dee: Big bait catches big rat.
  • Barnaby: The king shall hear of this!
  • Barnaby: You may go.
  • Ollie Dee: Thank you, sir.
  • Stannie Dum: Does that mean we're free?
  • Barnaby: Yes... And from now on, you and I are going to be very close friends.
  • Ollie Dee: [disappointed; indicates to Stannie] Does that mean that he doesn't have to be dunked?
  • Barnaby: Yes.
  • Stannie Dum: Isn't that nice?
  • Ollie Dee: What?
  • Stannie Dum: He and I are just like that. And I don't have to get wet.
  • Ollie Dee: Oh, is that so?
  • [shoves Stannie into the pond]
  • Old King Cole: Why all the commotion? Have you no reverence for my beauty sleep?
  • Chief of Police: Sorry, your majesty. But, we were celebrating the rescue of Tom-Tom and Bo-Peep from Bogeyland, sir.
  • Old King Cole: Splendid news! And who had the courage to do this?
  • Chief of Police: They did, your majesty!
  • Barnaby: Good morning, my pretty little butterfly.
  • Bo-Peep: Good morning, Mr. Barnaby.
  • Barnaby: [shows her the flowers] I bring you a little bouquet. A fragrant token of my deep devotion.
  • Bo-Peep: [takes the flowers from him] Thank you very much, Mr. Barnaby. And now, I have to leave you, sir. My... my sheep are...
  • Barnaby: [stops her with his cane] Indeed... I have longer admired you, gazed with wonder on your sweet and maidenly virtue, marveled at your tender loveliness. In short: I'm asking you to become my wife.
  • Bo-Peep: I... I'm sorry, Mr. Barnaby. And I hope you won't think me ungrateful, But...
  • Barnaby: I'm a very rich man, my dear.
  • Bo-Peep: Please.
  • Barnaby: Think carefully, child. Less I resort to other means. And that would be an ugly way to win a pretty wife.
  • Bo-Peep: I wouldn't marry you if you were young, which you can't be. If you were honest which you never were and if you were about to die, tomorrow which is too much to hope for!
  • [drops the flower on him]
  • Barnaby: We shall meet again, my pretty little buttercup. And then you will sing to a different tune.
  • [Sheep bleating at him, Barnaby snarls at the sheep, sheep runs away]

  • Ollie Dee: Shhh, no.
  • [into the well]
  • Ollie Dee: Are you coming up?
  • Stannie Dum: You better come up dead or alive!
  • Ollie Dee: Now, how can he come up dead when he's alive?
  • Stannie Dum: Let's drop a rock on him. That'll make him dead when he's alive.
  • Ollie Dee: Now you're talkin' sense.
  • [takes up the big rock and drops into the well]
  • Stannie Dum: Look out!
  • Ollie Dee: Don't tell him to look out!
  • Stannie Dum: Well, it might have hit hm.
  • Ollie Dee: That's what we want it to do!
  • Stannie Dum: [into the well] Did it hit you?
  • Ollie Dee: Not a sound.
  • Stannie Dum: It must have got him.
  • Stannie Dum: [Ollie takes a note from the money box and tries to read. Stan turns it right-side-up. The note says "I.O.U $1.47'] I borrowed it.
  • Ollie Dee: I know you borrowed it. But, what did you borrow it for?
  • Stannie Dum: Well, you see? I have to buy some more pee-wees. I lost three of them playing with Little Jack Horner.
  • Ollie Dee: [to the audience] 'Had to buy some more pee-wees'.

  • Bo-Peep: Oh, I couldn't have?
  • Tom-Tom: Yes, you did. And four times, the month before that. You see? You're getting worse.
  • [Bo-Peep nods, sniffles]
  • Tom-Tom: What you need is someone to help you look after the darn things.
  • Bo-Peep: Who, for instance?
  • Tom-Tom: Oh, He'd have to be most unusual, energetic, resourceful and with any amount of patience. A fellow sort of... Well, like me.
  • [Bo-Peep turns to Tom-Tom, scoffs and she turns back]

  • The Toy Maker: What?
  • [turning to Stannie Dum]
  • The Toy Maker: You took that order. What was it?
  • Stannie Dum: I thought you said 100 soldiers at 6 foot high.

  • [laughing continues]
