09:04Why, I was just...
09:06Now, let that be a lesson to you.
09:11Are you going to stand for that?
09:12Say, listen. If he'd have said one more word to me, I would have...
09:20Now, let that be another lesson to you.
09:25Say, listen.
09:26Don't you think you're bounding over your steps?
09:30What do you mean, bounding over my steps?

16:28Well, I guess we'll have to take it back.
16:31Why?
16:31There's nobody home.
16:33Where there's a will, there's a way.
16:40We'll take the piano through the window, carry it down the stairs, and place it in the living room.
16:45You find a ladder, and I'll get the block and tackle.
17:09Why don't you watch what you're doing?
17:11All right.
17:11Oh!
17:21Oh!
17:24Oh!
17:25Oh!
17:28Oh!
17:30Oh!
17:31Oh!
19:25Hey, Ollie!
19:35What?
19:36There's somebody home.
19:38Are they up there?
19:40No, I heard them coming up the stairs.
19:43You heard them coming up?
19:45Why, stupid, that was me!
19:47That was you?
19:49Why, certainly.
19:50Well, how'd you get in the house?
19:51Well, I was standing on the ladder while you were pulling the piano up and the block intact.
19:58Get back in there!
20:00Throw me my hat!
20:05Could have come it up the stairs.
20:27Could have come it up the stairs.
20:33Here!
20:35Now, throw me mine!
20:38Now, get back in that house and I don't want to hear any more out of you.
21:07You're welcome.
21:10Let's go.
21:14Where'd you get the hat?
21:29Now, let's get this piano downstairs.
21:46Oh yeah.
21:55Oh.
21:58Oh my God.
22:03Oh.
22:05Oh.
22:05Oh.
22:06Oh.

23:54Get home!
24:09Get out of here.
24:24Don't go!
24:46What were you doing up there?
24:48I was trying to plug it in.
24:51That's not the place to plug it in.
24:53Give it to me.
25:24And if I see them, I'll run them in.
25:26Thank you, officer.
25:41Now let's get this place, Peter.
26:47What is the meaning of this?
26:50Do you live here?
26:52Do I live here?
26:54This is my home.
26:55What are you doing here?
26:58Why, we just delivered your piano.
27:00Piano?
27:02Piano?
27:03I hate and detest pianos.
27:06They are mechanical blunderbusses.
27:09Take that eye here before I commit murder.
27:12Take it out.
27:13Take it out.
27:14Take it, I'll run.
27:28I'll take care of you.
