It's after midnight, and all is quiet in the Riley household. It's over an hour since the Riley's have retired, and in their bedroom all that can be heard is the faint ticking of a clock.
And the sound of Riley's even breathing. Suddenly the stillness of the night is shattered by an unearthly whale. What's that? What was that? Peg, Peg Wakeup. Oh, what's the matter? I heard a screen. No, you must have been dreaming, go back to sleep.
No, I heard it clear as anything, a horrible scream. Sounded like it came from next door, Peg. Peg, maybe they're in trouble, maybe it's a burglar. Oh, stop imagining things. Why, we're arguing our neighbor, maybe having a throat cut.
Well, what do you want me to do? Go over there and capture the murderer. Would you, Peg? I mean... I thought I'd go over to my bathroom, it needs a presson. Go to sleep. Oh, David goes again.
Oh, it's only the cat or baby next door. Why can't they keep that pesky kid quiet? Well, it's only an infant. Oh, I ain't gonna stand for this. Now, what are you doing? Oh, get that to bed.
Will you keep that kid quiet? We're trying to get some sleep. It's waking up the whole neighborhood. We're up with your horrible snore. You'll keep that kid quiet. You'll keep that kid quiet. I got some rights as your neighbor.
