The hottest fire we've had
in a long time.

Yeah, we need more help
around here.

Say, where are those
three chuckleheads?

Oh, those three nuts? Yeah.

Ha. I guess
the squirrels got 'em.

Ah, no such luck.

Ring the bell.

I'll take care of them.

Hey, you three up there!

[HUMMING]

[BELL RINGING]

[HUMMING]

[CLEARS THROAT]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hey. Do you hear a bell?

What?!

I said, did you hear the bell?!

Uh, what did you say?!

The bell! The bell!

I can't hear you
on account of the bell.

Must be a fire!

A fire! Hey, it's a fire.

Come on. Get smart here.

Wait a-- We don't
wanna miss another one.

We ain't gonna miss it.

Wait a minute. Wait for me.
All right, hurry up.

Hi, cap. Come on,
you'll miss the fire.

[WHOOPING]

I'm blind. I can't hear
or can't see you.

Hey, wait for me. Hey.

Grab the net-- Whoo.

[GRUNTING]

Get up.

Why don't you look
before you fall?

I got soap in my eyes.
I can't see.

Oh! Oh.

There you are.

Why weren't you three
at the fire?

We just got up.
We was taking a shower.

Oh!

Captain. You know how it is.

We was out shaking our tootsies
with the girls last night.

Just why did you three half-wits

join the fire department?

So we wouldn't have to buy any
tickets for the Fireman's Ball.

Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk, nyuk-nyuk--

Yeow!

A comedian, eh?

Now, listen-- You listen!

You've ditched fires,
slept through alarms,

been late for duty,

and broken every rule
in the book.

You're through.

You're fired!

And if this were the Army,
I'd have you shot at sunrise.

But you couldn't
do that, captain.

We don't get up that early.

Oh!

Come on.

Now, listen, cap.

You wouldn't turns us out

into the cold, cruel world.

Supposing it was snow,
and we freeze?

Yeah. It'd be
cruelty to animals.

Oh, girls love us
in these uniforms.

Aw, captain. Give us
another chance, will you?

We'll put a fire out
single-handed.

We'll put two fires out
double-handed.

We'll even start a fire
and have you put it out.

Well, I guess I'm
just an old softy.

I'll give you another chance.

But remember!

This is the last one.

[ALL CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Now, get to work
and wash that hose.

We gotta come through
for the captain.

And the crew.
And Alma maybe too.

Come on. Get busy!

[WHOOPING] Whoa.

There's your new car, captain.

It's the prettiest one
in the shipment.

Boy, she is a beauty.

I've been saving months
for that baby.

Yeah, take it kind of easy
the first , will you, cap?

Don't worry. I will.

Oh.

Hey, look at my new--

Come on. Come on.
Captain's looking for us.

We're sorry, captain.
It was all a mistake.

Yeah. He forgot
to throw the bucket.

Think nothing of him. We'll have
you cleaned up in a jiffy.

Take it easy, now, fellas.

Look what you're doing
to the captain's coat.

Now it matches his hat.

Stop it!

Oh. Ungrateful, huh?

I should have you fired,

but you'll keep working here
till you pay for this suit.

Hey, you. Roll
those hose lines out.

[SPLASH]

Say, let's get this over with,

and I'll ask the captain
to let us off tonight.

We're invited to Maisie's
house to a birthday party.

Oh, boy.
Plenty of pigs' knuckles

smothered in garlic. Ha!

She's got a couple new girls
for us to meet too.

Oh, a blind date, eh?

She ain't blind. She may be
a little hard of hearing.

Yeah-- Uh-- Come on,
get moving here

if you wanna get out.

[HUMMING]

Whoop!

Oh.

Look at our little baby hoses.

Quintuplets.

Marie, Annette, Yvonne...

Hey. What?

Don't disturb the rest of 'em.
They're asleep.

[SQUEALS] Come on.

If the captain sees us,
we're through.

Roll 'em up and get 'em hid.
Hurry up now.

[CAR HORN HONKING]

[BRAKES SCREECH]

[WHINES]

Here's my roll.

Hm.

Got any more in your hands?

No.

Oh! Oh.

Oh! Ooh! Hah!

I'm caught! Ooh! Oh! Whoo! Ow!

Isn't it pretty, girls?

Gee, it's swell. Oh.

Let's eat. Oh, I--

I wonder why Curly and
his friends haven't shown up.

It's me.

I'm a Jonah.

I guess the only way I can get
a man to come and see me

is to call a doctor.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR] Come in.

[GIRLS GIGGLE]

Happy birthday, Maisie.

[NYUCKS]

Hello, Curly.

Curly, this is Mimi,
and this is Minnie.

Hi, Mimi. Hi, Minnie.

I'm Minnie. I'm Mimi.

I'm hungry. Well, sit down.

Take a load off your feet.
It ain't my feet that hurt.

Oh!

[WHIMPERS]

Oh, gracious.

[WHIMPERS]

Where's my boyfriend?

They had to work,
but I sneaked out.

Oh, gee. You gotta
get me a fella.

Will you be my boyfriend?

Hm.

[GRUNTS]

See how cute I play?

We could have a lot
of fun together.

[WHOOPS]

Curly. Call up your pals.

Maybe they can sneak out.

Yeah. Get me a boyfriend.

Oh, all right, Hercules.
I'll call. Where's the phone?

Right here.

Hello? Yes. Yes.

Yes, yes. Have you got 'em?

The line's busy. Busy?

Yeah, I'm talking.

[PHONE RINGING] [SNORING]

Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

Oh! [COUGHS]

Don't you hear that bell? What?!

You gonna start that again?

It's a fire.

It's the phone. Get out of here.

Hello.

Hello, Moe.
You better come right over.

You're missing one of
the biggest things of your life.

We'll be right over.

The next time we're off duty.

Hi, captain.

I said, we can't come over.

Oh. A coward, huh?

Ooh! Ooh.

[WHINING]

Well, what did they say?

They can't come.

Ah, gee.

Won't you be my boyfriend?

You'll like me after
we get acquainted.

I grow on people.

So do warts.

[CHUCKLES]

The old man's gone.
I'm going anyhow.

Ow!

You ain't going
anywhere. Come on.

Wait a minute. Let me
explain to you.

Get in there.

Go on.

Now, so I don't get tempted,

I'm gonna stay in here with you.

What's the idea?
Give me that key?

You really want it? Yeah.

Oh! Oh, a wise guy.

I got a good mind to make you
go down that pipe after it.

How would I get in there?

How?

Wait. I'm only clowning.

Wait! Oh! I don't fit. My head!

Come on, pudgy. You be my fella.

Stop. Cut it out.

[BABBLING] Cut it out.

The birthday cake. Oh, my cake.

[WHOOPING] Oh.

[WHOOPING]

Look. I got it!

Oh, isn't that cute?
Do it again.

[ALL GASP]

Oh, wait. [WHINES]

Stop! Oh, dear.

Wait.

Aagh!

Oh.

[CHUCKLES]

[WHOOPING]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Oh, pudgy. You look funny.

He does not. I like him,

frosting and all.

Hey, did you find it?

LARRY: Not yet.

Well, come on up out of there.

I want a boyfriend.

I told you,
I can't get you anybody.

Oh.

If this don't get one,
nothing will.

[BELL RINGING]

They ought to be here
any minute now.

Oh, goody, goody.
I'm gonna get a fella.

Fifty-eighth and Central.

Where are those
three missing links?

We got to get out of here!

Hey, you stallers!

Give me a hand!

I think I'd better
give you a hand.

Get out. I'll m*rder you
in a minute.

Eh, come on. Let's roll.

[SIREN BLARING]

Now... ready? Yeah.

Heave! BOTH: Ho!

[BOTH SCREAMING]

Phew.

Moe, where am I?

Help me! [SCREAMS]

Come on up out of there.

[CLICKING]

Come on, you.

Why don't you cut out playing
hide-and-seek with me?

Hey, they're going
without us again.

Come on. We'll get in
the captain's car. Come on.

We got to save our jobs.
Come on.

Get in, get in.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

Is there any gas in the t*nk?

The arrow points halfway.

I don't know if it's
half empty or half full.

Yeah, we--

See that?

What?

Agh!

LARRY: Why, the switch is off.

[ENGINE STARTING]

I don't give this
new car so much.

Yeah, you better take a shortcut

if you wanna beat the captain.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

What's the matter?

[CHUCKLING]

Where's the fire? Right here.

She's already got me burnt up.

Oh, is this my boyfriend?

And he's got a car.

Come on, girls. Let's go
places and eat things.

Turn me loose.

I got you out, didn't I?

There's no fire, eh? No.

See that? [SIREN BLARING]

We ain't got time.
Here comes the captain.

Captain? Come on. We got to
beat him back to the firehouse.

[ALL CHATTERING]

CURLY: Take your time.
Plenty of room for everybody.

[CAR CREAKS]

[CURLY WHOOPING]

[WOMEN GIGGLING]

Why don't you sit still.

I've lost my cigar.

Well, forget about your cigar.

I can't. It's lit.

[WOMEN GASP] Wait,
it might be under me.

What is that?

Coochie-coochie-coochie--

Cut it out. Cut it out now.

Come on. Get--

Guess who this is?

Wait a minute. Don't tell me.

I'll get it in a minute.

[TRAIN BELL RINGING]

[TIRES SCREECHING,
ALL SCREAMING]

Why don't you mind
your own business?

This is my business.

Oh! Oh.

[CAR HORN HONKING] Ah!

Oh!

Well. If you're gonna
be ignorant like that.

[SHRIEKS]

[CAR HORN HONKING]

Give me the wheel, would you?
Will you drive or am I gonna?

All right, you drive. Go ahead.

That's enough. Now I'll take it.

[GIGGLES]

He'll have us all
k*lled in a minute.

[SPEAKING INAUDIBLY]

Get on that wheel!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[CRASHES]

Are you all right?

Phew.

Yeah. No, no.

Take a look at that car.

I should have been k*lled.

LARRY: Help! Help!
[WOMEN SCREAMING]

[CURLY WHOOPING]

Say, what was that?

That's the other five who were
with me, but I can't find 'em.

LARRY: Help! Help!
[WOMEN SCREAMING]

LARRY: Help! Oh.

CURLY: Come in.

I'm sorry. There's no more room.

Come on. Get out.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Women and children first.

Give me a hand, there, will you?

[WHOOPING]

Come on, lady, take it easy.

[YELPS]

Help me with this
midget, will you? I got it.

Help me out of here.
MOE: Take it easy.

[GRUNTING]

Let me out!

Come on, girls.
I don't like firemen.

Either do I.

Hm.

[GRUNTS]

Ooh.

[GRUNTING]

See that?

Oh!

[BARKS]

I guess I told you.

See that?

Mlagh!

Oh! [WHINES]

Come on. We got to
get that car straightened out.

Ow!

[POUNDS HEAVILY ON SIDEWALK]

Come on, now.

Back her up.

All right.

Hold it now.
Wait till I get around.

That's that. Now, come on.

Get her out into the street.

Push.

Come on, push.

All right.

[CAR RUMBLES]

Oh. It's haunted!

[WHOOPING]

[TIRES SCREECH]
