O’Hara: I pull my guns— braces myself against the wall— and I says— “Come in.”

[Brophy and Klein enter, they see O’Hara with a gun pointed at them and raise their hands, they then recognize him, then relax and lower their hands.]

O’Hara: Hello, boys.

What the hell is going on here?

Klein: Did you have to tie him up to make him listen?

Joe, you better report in at the station. The whole force is out looking for ya.

Klein: We didn’t know you was here.

We came to warn the old ladies that there’s hell to pay. The Colonel blew that bugle again in the middle of the night.

Klein: …you’d think the Germans had dropped a bomb on Flatbush Avenue.

The Lieutenant’s on the warpath. He says the Colonel’s got to be put away some place.

Mortimer: You can leave it all out.

[Brophy sees Jonathan on the sofa.]

Who the hell is this guy?

Mortimer: That’s my brother.

Oh, the one that ran away? So he came back.

Mortimer: Yes, he came back!

[Jonathan stirs as if to get up.]

Brophy, into phone:

This is Brophy. Get me Mac. I’d better let them know we found you, Joe. Mac? Tell the Lieutenant he can call off the big manhunt— we got him. In the Brewster house. Do you want us to bring him in? Oh— all right, we’ll hold him right here. [Hangs up phone.] The Lieutenant’s on his way over.

Klein: What the hell are you talking about?

You’d better be careful what you’re saying about your aunts— they happen to be friends of ours.

Jonathan: You don’t want to see what’s down in the cellar?

Go on down in the cellar with him, Abe.

Klein: He looks like Boris Karloff. [Jonathan grabs Klein by the throat at this mention.] Hey— what the hell— hey, Pat! Get him off me.

[Brophy takes out rubber blackjack.]

Here, what do you think you’re doing!

Rooney: What happened? Did he put up a fight?

This ain’t the guy that blows the bugle. This is his brother. He tried to kill Klein.

Rooney: Turn him over. [Literally— Jonathan is lying on his stomach.]

We kinda think he’s wanted somewhere.

Klein: Was there a reward mentioned?

Rooney: Yeah— and I’m claiming it.

He was trying to get us down in the cellar.

Teddy: I’m President Roosevelt.

Rooney: What the hell is this?

He’s the fellow that blows the bugle.

Teddy: All the bodies in the cellar are Yellow Fever victims.

No, Colonel, this is a spy we caught in the White House.

[Cops pick up Jonathan and bring him to the kitchen.]

Teddy: You’re forgetting! As President, I am also head of the Secret Service.

Brophy and Klein exit with Jonathan into kitchen.
