You Can't Do That on Television1979
[the boys, dressed in identical business suits and ties, ring the doorbell of a house]
Doug Ptolemy, Mike Cameron, Alasdair Gillis:
[together, as the door opens] TRICK-OR-TREAT! TRICK-OR-TREAT!
Homeowner:
Ha-ha-ha, Happy Halloween. Wait a minute. This is Halloween. How come you guys aren't dressed up to SCARE people?
Doug Ptolemy:
We ARE dressed up to scare people. I'm Ted, and I'm an insurance salesman.
Homeowner:
What?
Mike Cameron:
Yeah, and I'm Larry, and I'm a politician.
Homeowner:
Oh, no.
Alasdair Gillis:
And I, sir, am Brit, and I'm a tax auditor.
Homeowner:
AHHHHHHHH!
[Horrified, the homeowner flees into the safety of his house, spilling all his candy in his haste, which the delighted boys scoop up]
