• [Stan and Ollie go to Mr. Bledsoe's front door] 

  Oliver : [Stan blows his whistle]  Not the whistle, ring the bell!

  [Stan pushes the doorbell repeatedly] 

  Joe Bledsoe : Well, if it isn't the boys from the bicycle shop. And what are you looking for? Trouble, I hope.

  Oliver : Oh no no, no trouble. Will you please put your lights out, sir? Thank you.

  Stanley : Thank you. He was very nice, wasn't he?

  Oliver : Yes, well that's that, then.

  [Stan and Ollie see the lights are still on, and go back to the front door, ringing the doorbell again] 

  Joe Bledsoe : [Mr. Bledsoe points at Ollie, then looks at Stan]  If you don't stop ringing that bell, I'm gonna throw him in your face!

  Oliver : Nevertheless sir, I must insist that you turn your lights off. And if not, would you mind pulling down your shades?

  Joe Bledsoe : Would you like to pull them down for me?

  Oliver : Oh, I'd be glad to, it'd be quite a pleasure, sir.

  [chuckles nervously] 

  Oliver : [Ollie and Mr. Bledsoe alternately turn the house's circuit breaker switch on and off] 

  Disturbed Sleeper : [calls Mr. Biddle]  The people across the street are signalling to the Japs!

  Capt. Biddle : Right away.
