Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951)

"He was standing right here! And then I shook hands with him - his hand was gone. Then I went to speak to him - his head was gone. Then he took off his shirt - his body was gone! He took off his pants - his legs were gone! And then he spoke to me."

"Yeah?"

"I was gone."

The Man From The Alamo 1953
