Jeannie and the Great Bank Robbery

[.]
BELLOWS: No, major.
For the 10th time, the answer is no.
I-I really don't think it's a terribly good idea, sir.
I honestly believe I could accomplish a lot more work at the office.
Oh, uh, nonsense.
Phone ringing constantly, people running in and out with questions.
This report is important, and I want you to have a place completely free of distractions.
Yes, sir.
Oh.
There's that report I was looking for.
Now, this should come in very handy.
Besides, General Burger wants the report by the end of the week.
And that means we're all under the gun.
Yes, sir.
Well, uh, I see.
If we could take three days, we might be able to finish.
Not might, major.
Must.
Now, uh Uh, just think of yourself as being chained to a worktable.
Sir? Well, that always helped me.
Oh, all right.
Well, uh, good luck.
Thanks.
Oh, uh [CHUCKLES.]
Oh, uh And, uh, remember: No distractions.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Do not worry, master.
[GASPS.]
I heard Dr.
Bellows.
But with my help, you will be finished with your report in five minutes.
[SIGHS.]
Then we can go to the beach.
There's a lovely beach in Jamaica with a white sand, and blue water and little fishes.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Jeannie, this kind of work is not in your line.
You do not want my help? Mm.
No.
No.
And the sooner I get started, the sooner Here, would you hold that? The sooner I'll finish.
Tsk.
Yes, master.
But at least I can help you get started.
Yeah.
Jeannie? Jeannie, what are you? There.
Oh.
[GROANS.]
There.
Now you are ready to work, master.
I will go make you some fresh Turkish coffee.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh.
Thank you.
Oh, I forgot, the report has to be, uh Well [CHUCKLES.]
You are plunging in, aren't you? Yes, well, I didn't wanna waste any time, sir.
I Can I help you? [.]
[.]
Major Nelson, when I said chained to your worktable, it was just a figure of speech.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yeah.
Well.
I just got carried away, sir.
Well, it may not be a bad idea.
Huh? Oh, uh, nothing.
Uh, what I came back to tell you was that Gen.
Burger wants the report in triplicate.
In triplicate? Yes.
Yes.
Well, good luck.
Thank you.
Heh-heh.
Chain on your leg.
[BOTH LAUGHING.]
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
[GROANS.]
Here's your coffee, master.
Yeah.
Thank you Jeannie, would you just remove the chain, please? Oh, but master, Dr.
Bellows said Well, I just don't think it's fair for you to do everything for me.
Oh.
But that is a genie's job, to help her master.
Please take this off.
Please? Oh, yes, master.
Now what else would you like me to do for you, master? Oh.
I don't know.
Why don't you go take a walk? Or, uh Here.
Read a book.
That's a pretty interesting technical book.
Uh, anything.
Just Just as long as you leave me alone.
I Why don't you go help somebody else, huh? Someone else? Who? Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
I know.
Someone without a genie.
Yeah.
Oh, it would be great fun.
I will find a stranger and solve his problem.
All right.
Oh, thank you, master.
Yeah, good.
Good, good.
You go find a stranger and help him.
Find a stranger? No, Jeannie, you wouldn't do that.
Jeannie? Jeannie? Jeannie?! No, no, baby.
You didn't do your part.
Mommy throws the stick and you bring it back.
Mommy threw it.
But you didn't bring it here.
I wish you could tell Mommy where the stick is.
In the bushes, stupid.
That's no way to talk to Mommy.
You talked to Mommy.
But you can't talk.
Can you? No.
I know [GASPS.]
You did it again.
You're a talking dog.
And you're a raving maniac.
[GASPS.]
I suppose you think that's funny.
Trying ventriloquism on a defenseless dog.
Oh, no, you are wrong.
Your dog did talk.
I ought to report you to the Humane Society.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
I will do better next time.
Oh.
I will get it.
No, no, Milton.
For that kind of a job, we need help.
Girard, all of our contacts are either occupied or they are up the river.
We cannot find help.
Someone is asking for help.
Oh, I would be most happy to help you.
Beat it, sister.
You do not want my help? Now, why would you wanna help us? Because all of your friends are up the river.
Let's get rid of her, Milton.
Just a moment, Girard.
Do you happen to own a car, angel pie? N-no.
But I-I can get one.
Girard, our prayers have been answered.
If you can get that little car and meet us at the corner of 12th and Main say, about an hour, you will restore our faith in humankind.
Oh, thank you, sir.

And the cube root of 20,600 is Twenty-seven-point- forty-one.
Twenty-seven-point f Where have you been? In the park.
Did you miss me, master? Well, I was worried about you, if that's what you mean.

I met two of the nicest men.
Uh, y-yes, Dr.

Uh, I-it I've been at it since you've left.
They need a car.

I think maybe they want to take me for a ride.
May I borrow yours? Huh? Mm-hm.

It's just a friend of mine borrowing my car.
Yeah.
Borrowing my car? She can't even drive a magic carpet.
Wait a minute! Hey! Magic carpet? [TIRES SCREECHING.]
But I do not understand.
If the money is yours, why do you not take it out of the bank? My father, Mr.
Walsingham, happens to be the president of that very bank where I want you to make the withdrawal.
Will he not give you the money? No.
And you know why not? Because I wanna donate it to the Transylvanian Orphans Society.
His father wouldn't give them orphans a dime.
Nah.
Oh, that is terrible.
I will be honored to help you.
I knew you would.
[CHUCKLES.]
But how do I get the money? Oh.
Just hand this note to the teller.
When he reads that, he'll give you everything he's got.
Oh, how lovely.
Ha.
I will be right back.
Milton? Huh? Drive me to the police station.
I wanna give myself up.
Oh, what are you talking about? It's perfect.
Milton.
Any dame who's stupid enough to believe that story, has got to land us in the clink.
Come on, let's go.

Dear lady are you sure you can get inside that bank? Well, of course.

I don't like it.
It's a trap.
You may be right.
Let's decamp.
Yoo-hoo! I am over here.
Shh! Silence, my little pumpkin.
We don't wanna wake up the children.
They might be sleeping.
Oh.
Of course.
You brought the money.
I knew you would.
Well, we gave a solemn oath, lady.
Well, shall we go in? But what about the alarm system? Oh, do not worry about that.
I have taken care of everything.
Milton.
Let's offer her a partnership.
Inspector, that's ridiculous.
He swore that he wasn't involved.
His car is at the bank? At 2 a.
m.
? Well, he's undoubtedly just making a deposit.
A night deposit.
I'll be right down.

Oh.
I wish she wouldn't do these things.
Master? [GASPS.]
What is it? What are you doing here? What am I doing here? What are you doing here? Oh, we are putting the money back in the vault.
We? You mean you opened the vault for those guys? Well, of course, master.
You told me, "Bank money to the bank.

Just don't do anything anymore, would you, please? Yes, master.
Turn on the lights, will you? But you told me not to do anything I know.
Just turn on the lights.
Yes, master.
Girard.
Somebody turned on the lights.
Huh? Girard! Huh? Oh, good.
Now I can see.
Would you mind investigating it? What? Investigate.
Oh, sure.
Jeannie, these guys are dangerous.
If they are dangerous, you had better let me help you.
No.
I'm well-trained in unarmed combat.
Now, you go over there and sit down.
Oh, but master Go on, go on.
Very well, master.
Go on.
All right, you guys, come on out of there.
Uh, hi.

I'm not kidding you.
Master? Yes? What is it? [CHUCKLES.]

I'm gonna open you up like a can of sardines.
TONY: Oh, no.
No, wait Whoa! What is? Major Major Nelson.
What is this all about? Well, I, uh BELLOWS: You'll find that Major Nelson has an explanation for almost everything.
Uh, you can explain it, can't you? [GIGGLING.]
Well Uh.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to tell you the truth, sir.
I know what you're going to tell me.
When you learned that your car had been used for the bank robbery, you tracked down the bank robbers and captured them single-handedly.
Right, major? I couldn't have explained it better myself, sir.
Get these people out of here.
GIRARD: Oh, yeah.
CONWAY: All right, major.
[.]
I really don't understand you, Major Nelson.
In fact, I never have.
We've been through some baffling experiences before, but this This is incredible.
Would you mind telling me what you're doing in armor? Never mind.
All I can say is that I've never been so relieved in my life.
Thank you.
Congratula I [SIGHS.]
Oh.
He's done it to me again.
