CURLY to MOE:  "You never can tell, look what the did to Thanksgivin'?"

(Moe is mad at Cutly, with Larry standing behind him gets ready to sock Curly in the nose when they hear a crowd of people cheering).

MOE to LARRY:  (With Curly looking at Moe and Larry).  "Why don't you stop yelling?"

LARRY to MOE:  (With a perplexed look on his face).  "That ain't me?"

(Moe then realizes where the yelling is coming from and he points to a crowd of cheering people).

(CAMERA ON CHEERING PEOPLE):

(A football game is in progress).

(Curly and Larry also have happy looks on their faces at the crowd).

MOE to LARRY and CURLY:  (With happiness on his face and glee in his voice says).  "There must be 100,000 people there we'll make a fortune."

MOE to CURLY:  "How much is four cents times 100,000?"

(Curly says, 'en,' then he is pointing in the air using that as his adding machine buttons as he is making adding machine sounds with his mouth and moving his head back and forth as the carriage return.  When Curly has completed the calculations he pulls out the adding tape from his suit coat and says to Moe).  "A dollar and a half."

MOE to CURLY:  (With a questionable voice).  "A dollar and a half?"

CURLY to MOE:  "That's without tax."

MOE to CURLY:  (With a mad sounding voice and as he hits Curly in the stomach says).  "Without tax."

MOE to LARRY and CURLY:  (As he points to the crowd says). "To the census."

(Moe, Larry, and Curly all run in different directions to do the census and they klunk heads).

(Larry is standing next to Moe rubbing his sore head and sore foot).

MOE to CURLY:  (Mad at Curly).  "Where are you goin'?"

CURLY to MOE:  (With a questionable sounding voice).  "To the census."

MOE to LARRY and CURLY:  "Well, come on."

(Then Moe, Larry, and Curly run to the cheering crown hopefully to complete the census).

(CAMERA ON FOOTBALL DUG-OUT):

(There is a fence with a sign on it that says "Players Only," and a football team dressed in red jersies running through the gate to get to the playing field).

MOE to LARRY and CURLY:  (As they get into a huddle as Moe says).  "Let's run for it."

MOE to LARRY and CURLY:  "To the census."

LARRY:  "Let's go."

(As they try to get throug the gate, a guard pulls it shut and they go crashing into the fence and fall backwards to the ground).

(Moe, Larry, and Curly are sitting up and shaking their heads in pain).

GUARD to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY:  (As the guard is waving his hands says to them).  "No game."

(Moe and Larry gives the guard a mad look while Curly barks at him madly).

(CAMERA ON GUARD AT THE OPENED GATE):

(Moe, Larry, and Curly dressed in red football jersies and carrying their census books say as they are running through the gate).
 LARRY:  "Quarterback."
 MOE:  "Halfback." (As he enters through the gate backwards looking at the gurard).
 CURLY:  "Hunchback."  (As he has a happy look on his face and points to the football down his shirt to make him a hunchback). N'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk.   

(The poor guard has a total look of wonderment on his face as he is thinking to himself about the status of The Stooges).

(CAMERA ON THE CHEERING CROWD AGAIN):

(CAMERA ON RED FOOTBALL TEAM ON A BENCH WITH A PEDESTRIAN WALKING BY):

(Moe and Larry approach the bench of red football players).

LARRY:  (With his census book in his hand as he pushes himself in between a couple of the players says).  "Move over fellas."

MOE:  (Also with his census book in his hand also pushes himself in between a couple of the players says).  "Spread out boys, we're census takers."

(Curly then comes and sits down by "Red Player #20" who is the last player on the bench also holding his census book).

CURLY to RED PLAYER #20:  (As he looks at the player says).  "You're so big, I ought get eight cents for you."

CURLY to RED PLAYER #20:  "How old are you?"

RED PLAYER #20 to CURLY:  (As he shoves Curly off of the bench and Curly is landing on the ground, on his backside and deflating the football in his shirt says).  "Scram."

(The players then go into the game).

(Curly is sitting on the ground with a dazed look on his face at Red Player #20 as he is leaving for the field still holding his book and his deflated football).

(CAMERA ON RED PLAYERS AND MOE CHASING THEM):

MOE to RED PLAYERS:  "Hey, wait a minute."

(Larry and Curly are also saying wait a minute as they are chasing Red Player #20, back and forth in front of the bench).

(Moe, Larry, and Curly are saying to the Red Players):

LARRY and MOE:  (In unison).  "This is the census."

CURLY:  "Hey what's the big idea, what are you so stubborn for?"

(Moe, Larry, and Curly are standing on the field with their books in their hands and perplexed looks on their faces).

CURLY to RED PLAYER #20:  "What's the idea, I just want to ask you a couple of simple questions."

(Red Player #20 is now walking with his knees bent and Moe and Larry following after him walking the same way and Curly is running behind them).

MOE and LARRY to RED PLAYER #20:  "Hey, listen give us a break."

MOE to RED PLAYER #20:  (As the player is marching in place to limber up for the game while Moe, Larry, and Curly are doing the same).  "If you will answer this question."

(Red player #20 then runs away from them with Curly shouting at him as The Stooges are chasing after him saying).  "I only have one thing to ask of ya."

CURLY to RED PLAYER #20:  "Why don't ya give us a break?"

MOE and LARRY to RED PLAYER #20:  (In unison).  "Yeh, why don't ya?"

(The Stooges are running in one direction as the player is running in the other direction and he hits Curly in the stomach and knocks Curly down).

(CAMERA ON CURLY):

(Curly is flat on his back yelling, 'Ah, ah, ah, as Red Player #20 walks over Curly's face with his cleets).

(Curly is now mad and is getting up barking).

(A man with an ice cream cart entitled "Ice Cream, Artic Pies" and has a picture of a castle on it walks by Curly).

CURLY to ICE CREAM MAN:  (With a happy sounding voice).  "Oh, refreshments."

(The red team is on the field in a huddle planning out their plays while The Stooges are trying to make their ways in saying to the players).

MOE:  "You can trust us."
LARRY:  "We'll only tell the government."

LARRY and MOE to RED PLAYERS:  (In unison, as they are running around them in circles saying).  "Come on fellas, give us a break."

CURLY:  (Runs in with the ice cream cart shouting).  "Red hot ice cream, frozen frankfurters, Curly then claps his hands, a prize in every package folks step up--------."

(Curly is being approached by Larry and Moe who are mad.  Curly then cringes and is hiding his face from Moe with his hands).

MOE to CURLY:  "What are you up to, we gotta make these guys talk."

(Curly is bending over the ice cream cart as he is removing an ice cream cone).

MOE to LARRY:  (Pointing his finger).  "You take the right end, I'll take the left end."

MOE to CURLY:  (As Curly is holding the ice cream cone).  "What will you take?"

CURLY to MOE:  (In answer to his question).  "I'll take vanilla."

MOE to CURLY:  "What, you don't like chocolate?"

CURLY to MOE:  I still like vanilla."

MOE to CURLY:  (As he pushes the cone into Curly's forehead).  "Well, have some."

(Curly has the ice cream on his head and is mad at Moe).

LARRY to CURLY:  (In reference to the ice cream).  "You'll still take vanilla."

CURLY to LARRY:  (Still wearing the ice cream).  "Hun, yeah."

LARRY to CURLY:  (As Curly is looking at Moe and still wearing the ice cream).  "Well, I like chocolate."

(The football coach just blew the whistle to inform the players that it is time to play).

(The players are now running onto the field).

MOE to LARRY and CURLY:  (Shouting as they are picking up their census books).  "Hey, they are getting away from us."

(Moe, Larry, and Curly run to mix with the red team).

MOE to RED PLAYERS:  "Will you quit playing games, we got business to do."

LARRY to RED PLAYERS:  "Just a couple of questions, that's all."

(As the red players go to meet the blue players to start the game The Stooges are running with the red team and Moe is saying).  "Hey, wait a minute, here."

CURLY to RED PLAYER #20:  (As he opens his book).  "I am getting sick and tired of this, how old are you?"

RED PLAYER #20 to CURLY:  "27."

CURLY to RED PLAYER #20:  (As he goes to record the answer).  "Now, we're getting some place."

(Red player #20 is calling out different play numbers 27, 19, 83, 27, 72).

CURLY to RED PLAYER #20:  (Thinking that the player is calling out different ages says).  "Why don't you make up your mind?"

(Then the two teams start to make their moves.  The red team goes to make a tackle and Curly is caught up with them, and is knocked to the ground on his face).

(The crowd is jeering and throwing things at the red team because of their foul play).

(CAMERA ON CURLY):

(Curly is knocked to the ground with a foot in his face.  He goes to twist the foot thinking it belongs to another player, but in return he finds out it is his foot.  He has a hurt look on his face and yells 'yow'll, ow, ow,' in pain).

(Curly then sees another foot not knowing that it is still his.  Twists it again and once again he finds out it is his and yells in pain).

(Curly is shouting as he is twisting his foot in total pain).  "Hey, that's me."

(Curly when he finally realizes that he is twisting his own foot has a stupid and sheepish look on his face).

CURLY to HIS FOOT:  "Hey, it's me, how did you get up there?"

(The coach then blows the whistle and the two teams get up and Curly is being crushed by them saying, 'oooh, oooh, oooh, hi, ya, ya, ya.)"

(Moe throws down his book as he is running over to Curly mad, and is helping Curly up).

MOE to CURLY:  "Why didn't you stop him, Applehead?"

CURLY to MOE:  "I couldn't he was in to big a hurry."

MOE to CURLY:  "Wait a minute, if we could only steal that ball, they'd talk to us."

(Larry is running happily up to Moe and Curly with a bunch of chains in his hands).

LARRY to CURLY and MOE:  "This will stop 'em, if we tie 'em down, they can't get the ball."

MOE to LARRY:  (As he slaps Larry in the face).  "What are you waitin' for?"

LARRY to CURLY and MOE:  (As he salutes and is running towards the red players with the chains).  "Hike."

MOE to CURLY:  "Now listen, Knucklehead, we'll hold 'em, and you grab the ball."

CURLY to MOE:  (As he bumps Moe says).  "Hike."

MOE to CURLY:  (As he points in the direction of the red players and kicks Curly in the backside).  "Hike."

(Curly then shades his eyes looking towards the players).

MOE to CURLY:  (As he kicks Curly in the backside again).  "Go, on."

(CAMERA ON LARRY):

(Larry is hooking the chains on the belt loops of red players #20 and #31).

(Then Larry backs away with the chains dragging them out as far as they will go.  Moe then meets up with Larry and is helping him with the chains).

MOE to LARRY:  "You've got brains like Napoleon."

LARRY to MOE:  (In a questioning voice).  "Napoleon,?  Napoleon is dead."

MOE to LARRY:  (With a mischievous tone in his voice and look on his face).  "I know it."

(Larry and Moe then yank on the chains that are on red players 20, and 31's pant loops.  Moe and Larry go crashing to the ground while the two players loose their pants and are looking for them).

(cAMERA ON CURLY):

(Curly is running down the field with the football in his hand and the crowd is standing up and cheering him on).

(The other red players then start to run after Curly trying to catch him and the ball).

(SHORT ENDS):

(Moe is sitting on top of the ice cream cart and Larry is running, pulling it.  Moe is throwing ice cream at the players and the umpire.  The crowd is still cheering).

(Curly then runs through the back exit door still with the football and the red players still running after him).

(Moe and Larry ditch the ice cream wagon as it goes crashing into a wall.  They are running for their lives down a city street being chased by the red players).
