Movie Repeats

[Dwarf]

Many films contain scenes that were present in (or inspired by) earlier films. I shall describe a film scene, and all you have to do is to name the film from which the scene first appeared in (or was inspired by).

Stan and Ollie are two sailors on leave who happen upon two attractive girls strolling through a park. The sailors invite the ladies for a soda, but soon realize that they only have enough money for three people. Ollie spends an eternity trying to explain this fact to Stan, who cannot grasp that either he or Ollie will have to forgo a soda.

Man..... I'm a huge fan of that era's movies/comedies, Harold Lloyd is an all time favorite, but you got me stumped on this one.

Both films I was referring to were Laurel & Hardy ones. The one I quoted from was Men 'O War, and the scene is based on one from their earlier film, Should Married Men Go Home?

Ollie and his wife are enjoying a quiet Sunday at home until Stan shows up, eager to play some golf. After Stan breaks the Hardys' Victrola and nearly sets fire to their house, Mrs. Hardy chases the boys out. At the golf course, they are partnered with a pair of comely young lasses to complete a foursome. The girls want to be treated to sodas, but the boys are short of money.
