Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff      Back      Home
[The Swami tries to get a hypnotized Freddie to kill himself]
Swami Talpur: Perhaps you should choose the manner of your death. How would you like to die?
Freddie Phillips: Old age.
Freddie Phillips: Who's the culprit?
Casey Edwards: The culprit and the murderer are the same!
Freddie Phillips: It's a booby trap.
Casey Edwards: For what?
Freddie Phillips: For boobs.
Swami Talpur: [to Freddie] You're going to commit suicide if it's the last thing you do!
Swami Talpur: [to Freddie in a hypnotic voice] You didn't see me...you didn't see me...you didn't see me...I wasn't here
[leaves]
Casey Edwards: [to Freddy] Ready to go?
Freddie Phillips: I didn't see him.
Casey Edwards: You didn't see who?
Freddie Phillips: The man who wasn't here.
Casey Edwards: What're you talking about?
Freddie Phillips: All I did was open the door, see if the coast was clear, my mind went blank.
Casey Edwards: You mind's always been blank.
Freddie Phillips: [upon escaping a steambox] I saw a hand turn around the corner, and he put on a lot of steam, all the steam he could put on, f-full force...I think somebody's trying to kill me.
Casey Edwards: Freddie, where did you that gun?
Freddie Phillips: I don't know.
Casey Edwards: Freddie! I am going to ask you for the last time. Where did you get that gun?
Freddie Phillips: I don't know.
Casey Edwards: Where did you get that gun?
Freddie Phillips: Hey, that's not fair. You said "for the last time". I answered it.
Freddie Phillips: I have a confession to make.
Angela Gordon: You did it?
Freddie Phillips: No, I mean that stuff
[champagne]
Freddie Phillips: , I don't drink that stuff, that's like drinking poison.
Angela Gordon: Oh come on...
Freddie Phillips: Oh stop it, the bubbles' is tickling my nose.
Angela Gordon: For little Angela...
Freddie Phillips: I wouldn't drink it for big Angela.
Casey Edwards: [seeing one of Freddie's booby traps] That is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Freddie Phillips: Oh yeah? Well let me tell you something, if the murderer comes in here alone, somebody else is gonna carry him out.
