• Oliver : My friend and I are victims of the Depression. We haven't tasted food for three whole days.

  Old lady : Fancy, not eating for three whole days!

  Stanley : Yes ma'am. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

• Old lady : [Ollie shoves Stan through the door]  What on earth is the matter?

  Oliver : Madam, my one-time friend Mr. Laurel has a confession to make.

  [Stan whimpers and squeals] 

  Old lady : Confession?

  Oliver : Yes. He's the one who stole your money and left you at the mercy of that villain!

  Old lady : There must be some mistake.

  Oliver : There's no mistake. It's all too true. Why I caught him red handed.

  Old lady : There hasn't been any money stolen. We were just rehearsing a play for the community players.

  [She laughs. Ollie blinks. A play? He looks aside and narrows his eyes, bemused, as he processes the revelation. His eyes then widen in astonished distress as he realizes the damage he's caused, but smiles nervously and twiddles his tie] 

  Oliver : I must have made a faux pas.

  [He laughs; Stan glances at his fist, grimacing, and angrily decks Ollie in the face]
