Hoodoo fits me like a glove, but Fate's my name to you. At home, Mr. Duck is Old Man Fire Prevention himself. But... [shows Donald at work, standing on a ladder and painting a sign that reads "No Smoking" all while smoking a cigar] Now he's playing with fire. [Donald drops his cigar into a can of paint thinner] Oh, no! Not there, stupid! [the cigar causes the thinner to explode] See what I mean? [painting a sign reading "Think!"] "Think!" That's a good thought. [last lines; seeing Donald trampled by co-workers rushing to leave at quitting time] Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk. And on his own time, too. Well, that's fate. [suddenly shocked] Oh! What am I saying? [shrugs] Mrs. Duck [repeated line] Daddy's right. Dialogue Nurse: Mr. Duck, why does everything happen to you? Donald Duck: It's fate! That's what it is: fate! J.J. Fate: Just listen to him blame me for his carelessness. [scoffs] Voice cast Clarence Nash as Donald Duck (uncredited) Bill Thompson as J.J.
