It's nothing to get excited over.

Nothing to get excited over?

How can you say a thing like that?

Why, I might have been blown

to bits right before my very eyes.

It's just a gag.

A whistle bomb.

- You mean, it's just a practical joke?

- Sure.

It blows off when you press the starter.

And boy did you go into a tailspin.

I'll bet you put that thing there.

Oh, don't be an infant.

I got better things to do.

Well, fine thing.

It's practically a menace to civilization.

Anyone who'd do a trick

like that ought...

Pipe down. Pipe down.

- We didn't do anything.

- Hey, let me go.

I'm gonna tell Ma on you.

- They got a load of them.

- Not mine, they're Killer's.

Killer Parkins,

you'll grow up to be a fiend.

- Lt was Mary's idea.

- Lt certainly was.

Mary Nickerson,

you ought to be ashamed of...

Ted, aren't you going to speak

to your sister?

That gangster? She's out of my control.

You're jealous

because you didn't think of it first.

- Give me those.

- These belong to my big brother.

They don't, now.

Now, go on. Get out of here.

Before I lose control of myself.

Go on. Get out of here.

You thugs.

I'm in my own back yard

and don't you dare come in.

Nice going, Nancy.

The very idea.

Just a nice quiet morning at the Drews.

- Well, so long, I'll be seeing you.

- Where you going?

Where do you think I'd be going

with tennis racket, to shovel coal?

I'll tell you where he's going

for 10.

I wouldn't pay you a penny,

I'm not interested.

Then what are you asking for?

You get in the house.

I'll tell you anyway.

He's got a date with a beautiful girl.

Are you going to play tennis

again with that woman?

What do you mean, woman?

She is only two years older than you are.

Well, if you'd rather play tennis,

why all right.

But I was sort of depending on you

to help me.

Of course, my getting the best story

for the paper isn't important.

You know how it is.

The honor would be nice.

- Gosh, Nancy.

- It's all right. Go right ahead.

Don't mind me. I just...

Oh, by the way,

I have something for you.

Oh, you have? Well, what is it?

It's nothing really.

Just a little birthday present.

I spent the four bucks I had

to fix the fender.

Well, gee, Nancy, thanks.

But my birthday isn't

for two months yet.

Is that so?

Oh, well. Now that you've seen it,

you might as well keep it.

Well, gee, thanks. I don't...

Oh, gosh.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Wait a minute, Nancy.

Look, I might postpone my tennis date

if you really need me.

Don't bother. Don't bother.

I was going down to the jail

to interview Eula Denning...

...I wanted you

to take your camera along.

So far, she hasn't allowed anyone

to take her picture.
