J.J. and Ollie drop out of high school together and then decide to go into business for themselves. Their chosen career is burglary. For one of their first jobs is a house in an upper class neighborhood.

No sooner do they gain entry, than Ollie heads for the kitchen and begins building himself a serious sandwich. J.J. yells at his partner, "We didn’t come here to eat, we came here to steal!"

The fridge is so well stocked, the teens settle down in the kitchen and eat their fill. A short time later, the boys hear a sound coming out of the den: "Hello, J.J., What’s up, J.J.?"

The boys are astonished at the sound and run into the next room. There’s a parrot on a roost doing all the talking. The talking bird heard Ollie talking to J.J. and is now repeating the name which is so easy to pronounce.

Next the boys check out the dining room where the Sterling silver is kept. Then they run upstairs to the bedrooms. All the while, the boys keep hearing the pesky parrot downstairs calling out, "Hello, J.J."

Within a few minutes, the boys fill their pillow cases with loot throughout the house. They run downstairs and out to their car. What the boys don’t know is, they’ve tripped the alarm and authorities are on the way.

Moments later, J.J. slams on the brakes. "That parrot. He know my name. He’s a witness!" So J.J. turns the car around and goes back to the house.

J.J. grabs the parrot by the feet and heads back toward the car. But at that moment, two patrol cars with blue lights flashing pull up in the front yard next to the boys’ car.

J.J. and Ollie, now in the spotlight, throw up their arms and the parrot flies off into the night. J.J. whispers to Ollie, "That’s okay, with him gone the cops don’t have a witness."

You can see why it’s important to finish high school.
