SCENE 1 | Oscar has asked Telly to wake him up early in the morning, but gets up even earlier to set up a trick - he's placed several items that will cause so much noise, it will wake the neighborhood. Telly comes by for his appointed duty and notices the items (a gong, bat and bugle). Telly realizes each of these could wake up everyone around, so he resolves to simply call Oscar on the phone. Oscar, having watched the whole thing, calls out to him in anger, as Gordon asks him to keep down the noise. |
