Block-Heads (1938)

James C. Morton: James - the Porter

Quotes 

• Oliver : What's the news this morning?

  James, porter : [looking at a newspaper]  I was reading about a fella that stayed in the trenches for 20 years after the war and didn't know it was over.

  Oliver : [laughs]  Well, how in the world could anyone be so stupid.

  James, porter : I don't know. Here's his picture

  [shows Hardy the paper] 

  Oliver : [looking at a photo of the grinning soldier]  I can't imagine anybody being that dumb!

  [realizes the grinning soldier is Stan; does a massive take and grabs the paper back from James; looks directly into the camera] 

  Oliver : Oh, yes I can!
