Screwy Squirrel

• You know, those guys in there think I'm crazy. And I am, too!
• [lights a match] Sure was a funny gag. Too bad you couldn't see it.
• [answers phone in middle of chase] Hello? You don't say. You don't say. You don't say! [Meathead: Who was it?] He didn't say.

Dialogue

Screwy Squirrel: Say, you lose something, chum?

Meathead: I'm looking for that screwy squirrel.

Screwy Squirrel: Would you recognize him if you saw a picture?

Meathead: Sure.

Screwy Squirrel: [holds a picture frame in front of him] Is this him?

Meathead: Yeah, that's him.

Screwy Squirrel: He went that way, just over that fence.

Meathead: Gee, thanks.

[Meathead jumps over the fence and off a cliff]

Screwy Squirrel: [at the bottom of the cliff, holding a newspaper] Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Dumb dog falls for corny old gag! Extra!

[Meathead lands]

Screwy Squirrel: Paper, mister?

[Screwy hands Meathead paper; headline reads "Sucker!"]

---

Screwy Squirrel: [as Meathead chases Screwy, they pass the end title] Say, that was the end of the picture.

[They walk back to the end title card]

Meathead: Yup, that's it all right.

Screwy Squirrel: So long, Meathead.

Meathead: Goodbye.

Screwy Squirrel: Say, what was the idea of chasing me all through the picture?

Meathead: Because you're crazy. You think you're Napoleon, but you ain't. I am! [acts crazy]

Screwy Squirrel: You know, I like this ending. It's silly.
