Air Raid Wardens Page #5

---

Hawley and Ryan's victim. I'm terribly sorry.

You should be.

Madison, you've got to get rid of

those misfits.

I just talked to them, Mr. Norton. They're...

They're awfully broken up about this.

- I'm sure it was an accident.

- They're both accidents.

With those men,

we can never achieve perfection.

Oh, yes, we will.

We're getting better all the time.

- We won't make the same mistakes twice.

- I hope not.

Look, Mr. Norton,

why are you doing this work?

Why? Why?

- To serve my country.

- Well, that's their idea, too.

You wouldn't deny

them that, would you?

Well...

They deserve another

chance, don't you think?

Oh, all right.

Fine. A good night's sleep will cool you off.

Good night, Mrs. Norton.

- Good night, Dan.

- Cool me off? Cool me off?

We're going over to the meeting

and get our equipment.

- Are you coming, Mr. Middling?

- I'll be over in a little while.

Okay.

- We're going to get helmets and everything?

- That's what he said.

- Gee. And gas masks?

- That's right.

- And "whist-les?"

- Of course, "whit-sells."

One helmet.

One new armband, one gas mask,

and one whistle.

Be sure to sign a receipt

for your equipment, men.

Come on, boys, boys.

Not an "X." Sign your name.

Take that thing off.

And get that whistle out of your mouth.

Now, go to sleep.

Take that off!

Now, will you go to sleep, please?

See who that is.

- Well, who was it?

- It was the telephone.

Teleph...?

Laurel and Hardy.

Bicycles, burglar alarms, locks and keys.

Biddle calling. Blue alert. Proceed to

your post. Stand by for the red.

We're on our way!

Good gracious.

Blue alert! Come on, get dressed.

We've got to get right on duty,

right away.

Oh, put that whistle down

and get dressed.

Red alert.

Red alert.

- Sound the all-clear.

- Yes, sir.

Not the whistle. Ring the bell.

Well, if it isn't the boys

from the bicycle shop.

And what are you looking for?

- Trouble, I hope.

- Oh, no, no. No trouble.

Will you please put your lights out, sir?

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- He was very nice, wasn't he?

- Yes, well, that's that.

If you don't stop ringing that bell...

...l'm gonna throw him in your face!

Nevertheless, sir, I must insist

that you turn your lights off.

And if not, would you mind

pulling down your shades?

Would you like

to pull them down for me?

Oh, I'd be glad to.

It'd be quite a pleasure, sir.

People across the street

are signaling to the Japs!

Right away.

No, give it...

Go on.

Not here.

We received a complaint.

Take a look under that cover.

A couple of mugs come in here

and tried to wreck the joint.

Smells like a gin mill.

Drunk.

All right, Peggy, you can send them in.
