Leggatt. When I want anything I just throw a pop bottle down to the right. (Motions.) It’ll break at the office door and rouse the landlord.

Bulger. By George! It takes a literary man, after all, for ideas.

Leggatt. You’ll find some empty pop bottles in the closet. I keep them for that purpose—and the cats.

Bulger. (Gets bottle.) I’ll try it. Did you say to the right?

Leggatt. Yes, you can see the glass door if you look out. Hit the pavement so the bottle will crash. (Bulger throws out of window, tremendous crash.)

Bulger. What a crash for one bottle. I guess that will fetch him.

Leggatt. Now you have done it.

Bulger. Done what?

Leggatt. You’ve broken the glass of the hot bed and the tomato plants will all freeze. You threw the wrong way.
