Favorite scene


One of my favorite L&H scenes is in this short: after the huge fight with Ollie's wife, he and Stan go to Stan's room to talk it over. Although he just witnessed the marital mayhem that will result in divorce, Stan asks, "What did she say about going out tonight?" Ollie takes this insanely oblivious question in stride, and the two of them loll about on the bed, exactly like little kids do, stretching out and putting their feet up on the wall,and generally making themselves comfortable while they talk. It's just beautiful.

And Ollie says: She says I think more of you than I do of her.
Stan: Well you do, don't you?

...and Ollie diplomatically replies "Well, we won't go into that."

My favourite moment in the film is Stan striking a match to see if the light switch is off. A lovely whimsical piece.
