• [Bat attempts to keep his pigeon roost a secret by telling the carpenter the holes he's bored in the roof are for his cats] 

  Carpenter : There's just one question, though. You see, we're three floors up. Now how are them cats gonna get in?

  Bat Masterson : Oh, it... it's not for the cats to get in; it... it's for the cats to go out.

  Carpenter : Well then, why three cat holes?

  Bat Masterson : Well, you see, when I say scat to the cats, I just want 'em to go! Does that answer your question?

  Carpenter : Yes, sir.

  Bat Masterson : Now... now don't forget your promise to me. You won't tell anybody about these cat holes. We'll keep that a real secret, then people will think I'm eccentric.

  Carpenter : Eck what?

  Bat Masterson : Ec...

  [Bat points to his head] 

  Carpenter : Oh, yessir. Goodbye, Mr. Masterson.
