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!

But tonight we are taking care
of Mortimer.
00:00:02.088 --> 00:00:05.917
But Johnny, not tonight! I'm sleepy.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.434
We'll do it tomorrow. Or the next day.
00:00:08.008 --> 00:00:10.711
Look at me, Doctor.
00:00:11.056 --> 00:00:15.269
You can see that it's got to be done,
can't you?
00:00:15.052 --> 00:00:18.099
Yeah, I know that look.
00:00:19.002 --> 00:00:22.476
It's a little late to dissolve our partnership.
00:00:22.068 --> 00:00:25.999
Okay, Johnny. Okay, we'll do it.
00:00:25.002 --> 00:00:28.397
But the quick way, huh?
The quick twist like in London.
00:00:28.006 --> 00:00:32.559
No, Doctor. I think this calls
for something special.
00:00:33.024 --> 00:00:36.063
I think, perhaps, the Melbourne method.
00:00:36.008 --> 00:00:39.473
Not the Melbourne method, please!
00:00:39.006 --> 00:00:41.272
Two hours!
00:00:41.044 --> 00:00:43.795
And then when it was all over, what?
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.754
The fellow in London was just as dead
as the fellow in Melbourne.
00:00:49.048 --> 00:00:51.003
Don't do that, Mr. President.
00:00:51.016 --> 00:00:54.997
But I cannot sign anything
without consulting my Cabinet.
00:00:54.012 --> 00:00:55.348
This must be secret.
00:00:55.044 --> 00:00:58.001
A secret proclamation? How unusual.
00:00:58.028 --> 00:01:01.113
Yes, it's the only way
we can outsmart the other fellow.
00:01:01.002 --> 00:01:03.043
-Who's the other fellow?
-That's the secret.
00:01:03.052 --> 00:01:05.001
Oh, I see!
00:01:05.008 --> 00:01:07.006
Very clever.
00:01:07.036 --> 00:01:09.874
A secret proclamation
has to be signed in secret.
