Conrad the Sailor

Conrad the Sailor is a 1942 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon supervised by Chuck Jones. The title character, Conrad the Cat, is voiced by Pinto Colvig and animated by the quintet (Jones’ regular animators, including Ben Washam). The other featured player is Daffy Duck, voiced as usual by Mel Blanc. Dialogue Sailors: (singing) Over the sea, let's go men! We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again! Nobody knows where or when! We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again! We're leaving today, it's anchors aweigh. Sally and Sue, don't be blue! We'll just be gone for years and years and then... We're shovin' right off for home, shovin' right off for home... Shovin' right off for home again! [Camera pans right then trucks-in on Conrad, swabbing the deck] Conrad: (singing) Over the sea, let's go men! We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again! Nobody knows where or when! We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again! We're leaving today, it's anchors aweigh. Sally and Sue, don't be blue! We'll just be gone for years and years and then... We're shovin' right off for home, shovin' right off for home... Shovin' right off for home again! (He does a Goofy chuckle) And we are too. [As Conrad swabs the deck, he spots the Daffy’s muddy footprints on the deck. He gets angry and sees Daffy on the mast. Daffy waves to him. Conrad angrily wipes his nose] [angrily, to himself] We're shovin' right off for home, shovin' right off for home... Daffy: [pacing back and forth on the mast, mockingly] Shovin' right off again! Shovin' right off again! Shovin' right off again! Shovin' right off again! Shovin' right off again! Shovin' right off again! [to the audience] Phew, is that guy awful? Gee, it makes me sick. [Conrad is cleaning one of the naval guns] Conrad: (singing) La la, lo la lee, Sally and Sue, la la la, [moving Daffy out of the way] la deedle di de doodle de da- [He suddenly realizes that Daffy is back. He turns to look directly at Daffy in his face. He and Daffy each grab Daffy's neck repeatedly. Daffy deliberately bites him on the nose, and twirls Conrad's arms before zooming off. Conrad becomes angry again, and he chases him. Conrad corners him. He is about to strangle him, but the ship's diminutive Admiral scurries by again, as both sailor and duck snap to attention and salute. He is about to strangle him again] Daffy: (clapping their hands together) Pease Porridge Hot, Pease Porridge Cold, [deliberately pulling his hat over his head] Pease Porridge in the pot nine days old!
