    Stan: [attempting to speak in a serious, slightly self-important tone, but obviously just blabbing away carelessly] Yeah, you see, it's PRIVATE. Her father died and left her a gold mine, and we're not supposed tell it to anyone but her, right Ollie?

    Mickey Finn: Sure you would; they've never seen Mary Roberts.

    Lola Marcel, the Singing Nightingale: Then it's a cinch!

  • Mickey Finn: [from the staircase] Hey! If you come upstairs, I'll introduce you to Mary Roberts.

    Oliver: Right away, sir.

    Ollie: That's right I...

    Stan: We've got something else for you.

    Ollie: I almost forgot it.

    [puts on his derby and loosens his necktie]

    Ollie: And besides that...

    [unbuttons his shirt and takes out the locket]

    Ollie: your father left you this family heirloom.

    Lola Marcel, the Singing Nightingale: Oh yes, I - I remember it well.

    Ollie: Help me get it off, Stanley.

    [Ollie loosens his collar while Stan tries to take the locket chain off of Ollie's neck by pulling it up around his chin]

    Stan: Am I hurting you?

    Ollie: No, just a minute.

    Stan: Won't be long.

    Stan: Now that you've got your clothes off, why don't you take a bath?,

    Oliver: Would you mind leaving the room? Can't I ever have a little privacy?

    Stan: I was just trying to kill two birds with one stone.

    Mickey Finn: [in the living room] And I'll take care of those two bozos and get them out of town.

    Lola Marcel: [Stan opens the door and overhears Lola talking to Mickey] Don't worry, leave everything to me. I've done pretty good up to now, haven't I?

    Stan: You certainly have, I wish you were in my shoes.

    Mickey Finn: Eh-hrm, oh how about a drink on the house?

    Oliver: That suits me fine.

    Stan: How'd you get dressed so quick?

    Oliver: None of your business.

    [Stan yanks Finn's necktie, Finn kicks Stan in retaliation]

    Ollie: I'll take care of this matter.

    Lola Marcel: So you got wise, huh? Well, if it's this deed you're after, you're just out of luck.
