Beginner's Luck1935

[the most important aspect of the short is the many line that turn out to be so ironic by the ending]

Spanky's mother:
[When Spanky's mother is telling the ladies] I've got a big surprise for you. Spanky is going on the stage! [ Of course the surprise is on her as she will be going on stage too]

Spanky's mother:
[as the Mother starts to tell the details of the show ] I've arranged for him to appear at the Ritz Theatre [ She will really be appearing at the Ritz Theatre loosing her dress and being made a spectacle of with the stage prop]

Spanky's mother:
[At the theatre after a major run in with the MC where Spanky was almost tossed off the schedule before her went on ,the grandma comes over laughing her head off at what's going on and a furious Mother turns toward the Grandmother and says ] I don't think this is so funny!

Spanky's grandmother:
[the Grandmother turns and laughs right in her face and says ] Well I do !

Spanky's mother:
[after Spanky has been told of the plans to ruin his act his mother doesn't hear in practicing an says ] Spanky , Spanky Mother can't hear you!

Spanky's mother:
[Spanky says his line and the mother learns over towards him with a huge smile on her face and says ] That's much better darling I'm sure your going to be a huge hit tonight !

parrot:
[the family pet knows of the plot and tries to warn the mother but Spanky has put a fish bowel over the bird but he tries to warn her and a very muffled sound says ] Momma, Momma , I know a secret I know a secret

Spanky's mother:
[ At the theatre when the MC picks Spank to open the show the Mother rushes over and begs him ] Please my good sir he's not ready and besides my son is too much of an artist to open a show [ That line infuriates the MC and he holds Spanky's act for the finale which leads to all the hijinks later]

Spanky's mother:
[ When Spanky asks his mom to deliver his change of plans to the gang she has no idea there was a plot to ruin the act she says to the gang ] Listen boys We want Spanky to win . Remember he's depending on you !

Jerry:
[the kids don't know what to think Jerry says ] OK then we'll give him the works!

Spanky:
[after Daisey has lost and Spanky goes to comfort her he asks his mom ] If I win the prize can I do anything I want with the money?

Spanky's mother:
[His mother is beaming with joy ] Certainly Spanky All I want is you to be a big hit!

Spanky:
[Spanky turns to the little girl and says ] Listen Girlie the dress is in the bag! [His mom is bending down with his and has a huge smile on her face not knowing she will be the girlie whose dress is in the bag]

Spanky's mother:
[When Spanky first takes to the stage and falls down the mother turns to the MC and says ] Why don't you give him some lights ?

Spanky's mother:
[ The MC says what for and the mother responds to him ] So he can act of course !

Master of Ceremonies:
[the MC looks at her and says ] OH so he can act [ but then puts a sarcastic laugh in ]

Spanky's mother:
[the mother looks him and says] Yes so he can act [ and she gives the same style laugh back at him ] [ The MC waves his hands to the stage crew to put up the house lights and almost smacks Spanky's mother in the face ]

Spanky's mother:
[When the act is falling apart and everything is turning bad the mother turns to the MC and says ] They're laughing at him !

Master of Ceremonies:
[the MC knows how to turn up the fire under her and says ] They're howling at him .

Spanky's mother:
I won't have my son laughed at take him off . [ of course the mother would wind up with the same audience laughing at her later on]

Spanky's grandmother:
[ When the grandmother is watching from the side of the stage and sees the daughter trying to pull Spanky off the stage behind the stage curtain and sees her chance to get even with the daughter for putting Spanky on the stage and taps the MC on the Back and points to the stage curtain ropes and says ] Here's where we stop the show ! [ Knowing to raise the curtain would expose her daughter to the view of the audience ]

Master of Ceremonies:
[the MC gets her idea and with a huge belly laugh says ] Sure go right ahead !

Spanky's grandmother:
[ The granny pulls down on the ropes and a curtain hook starts to move towards her daughter's dress hem. Grandma can't believe her luck instead of exposing the daughter now she will really be exposing her] OH MY !

Spanky's mother:
[the mother is trying to yank the son off the stage and doesn't know anything until she feels the curtain hook go into her dress and start to pull on the back of her dress. She reaches around to see and realizes her predicament and gives a loud SCREEEEEECH then she stands up trying to get the hook out of her dress and says ] Please Please NO NO !
