Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen: [the piano is blocking his path. Prof. Von Schwarzenhoffen taps his cane on the piano to attract Laurel and Hardy's attention.] Well? Either of you two numbskulls going to take this thing out of the way?
Ollie: What's it to you?
Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen: I should like to pass.
Ollie: Why don't you walk around?
Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen: Walk around? Me? Professor Theodore Von Schwarzenhoffen? M.D., A.D, D.D.S, F.L.D, F.F.F und F, should walk around? Get that thing out of my way! Get out of my way! Come on, get it out of the way! Out of the way!
[Stan slaps his hat off, causing it to fly into the street and be flattened by a truck. Stan and Ollie simultaneously nods at Schwarzenhoffen afterwards.]
Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen: Very lovely... I'LL HAVE YOU ARRESTED FOR THIS! I'LL HAVE YOU THROWN IN JAIL! I'M PROFESSOR T.D.A!

Written by Daniel Decatur Emmett
Performed by Marvin Hatley
They have to deliver a piano to an address - all kinds of catastrophes follow thick and fast. The gags are so perfectly written and executed, and are as utterly relentless as Stan & Ollie's drive to deliver the piano come Hell or pond-water. High-class slapstick disasters follow each other every minute of the 27 (un-remastered version), usually happening to Ollie - although Billy Gilbert's cosy little love-nest was looking a little dishevelled by the climax! The steps have been a Los Angeles tourist attraction for many years now, maybe the most fitting monument to L & H that there could be - if you like this little film that is!
All in all and probably predictably my favourite L & H outing, notwithstanding the similar brilliance of Sons Of The Desert, County Hospital, Thicker than Water, Busybodies, Below Zero etc etc etc.
