Jonathan Brewster:

Tonight, we are taking care of Mortimer. Dr. Einstein:
But, Johnny, not tonight. I'm sleepy. We'll do it tomorrow, or the next day. Jonathan Brewster:
Look at me, Doctor. You can see that it's got to be done, can't you? Dr. Einstein:
Yeah, I know that look. Jonathan Brewster:
It's a little late to dissolve our partnership. Dr. Einstein:
Okay, okay, Johnny. Okay, we'll do it. But the quick way, huh? The quick twist like in London. Jonathan Brewster:
No, Doctor. I think this calls for something special. I think, perhaps, the Melbourne method. Dr. Einstein:
[cringing]
No! Not the Melbourne method, please! Two hours!

Johnny, for me, the quick way. Please.

-This must be an artistic achievement. -Please.
00:00:27.036 --> 00:00:30.909
After all, we're performing before a very distinguished critic.

But I can't pull myself together without a drink.
00:00:47.056 --> 00:00:50.393
You remember when we came in, there was some wine.
00:00:50.048 --> 00:00:53.313
And then they took it. Where did they put it?
00:00:54.072 --> 00:00:56.631
I found some wine.
00:00:58.998 --> 00:01:00.998
Here, I'll split it with you.
00:01:00.016 --> 00:01:02.754
We both have a drink before we operate.
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.001
I am so happy that we don't have to operate without a drink.
