1:31:04
What a kick!
1:31:06
Twenty-five years pass.
Well, in the meantime, there's me.
1:31:09
Growing into a magnificent specimen.
So what do I do?
1:31:13
I join the police force and become
one of New York's finest.
1:31:16
I'm cleaning out a crooked laundry, see?
Little do I know it...
1:31:19
...but a dope fiend with a knife is after me.
1:31:22
I'm in great danger.
1:31:25
It's getting you, ain't it?
I can see it in your eyes.
1:31:29
You ain't heard nothing yet.
1:31:31
All of a sudden, a fire breaks out.
What an effect!
1:31:34
Firemen rush in and who's leading them?
1:31:37
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia!
1:31:42
What's the matter with him?
1:31:43
-Probably your play put him to sleep.
-What?
1:31:46
-I personally like it very much.
-It's probably over his head.
1:31:50
-Where have I seen that face before?
-No, please.
1:31:55
The scene changes. It's an evolving stage.
1:31:58
I'm walking along my beat, casual-like...
1:32:01
...when a guy that I'm following,
it turns out he's following me!
1:32:04
Don't let nobody in.
I figures I'll outsmart him.
1:32:07
-There's a vacant house on the corner.
-Johnny, the cops!
1:32:11
I sees the door handle turn,
so I pulls out my gun...
1:32:13
...braces myself against the wall and I says:
1:32:16
"Come in! "
1:32:21
Hello, boys.
1:32:23
-What the Sam Hill's going on?
-Sarge, this is Mortimer Brewster.
1:32:26
-He's going to help me write my play.
-Do you have to tie him up?
1:32:30
Report in. Why didn't you ring in?
The whole force is out looking for you.
1:32:34
Right in the middle of the second act.
Did they send you here?
1:32:37
No, we came to warn the old ladies.
1:32:39
-The colonel blew that bugle again.
-I heard him.
1:32:42
The neighbors are phoning in.
The Lieutenant's on the warpath.
1:32:44
He says we've got
to put him away someplace.
1:32:47
Now, who the heck is this?
1:32:49
Mr. Brewster's brother.
My play put him to sleep.
1:32:51
That's the one that ran away.
So he came back.
1:32:55
Brophy. Get me Mac.
1:32:56
Have you got yourself in a mess!
You're two hours overdue at the station.
