Fred, Rollo, and the 4-5-9 scene
At the police station, Hoppy and Smitty ask Fred, how could you be the "Tip Toe Burgular? He just struck in New York City just last week!" Fred responds, "I tipped in!"

Everything is then sorted out, and Smitty, Hoppy tell Fred that they all chipped in to get him the ring; Lamont, who arrives, tells the cops that Fred got the ring from behind the pillow of their couch, where he tried hide it. When Smitty, who on behest of Fred, examines the ring, it turns out to be a worthless imitation! Fred asks Smitty, "You mean to tell me all of you all chipped in and couldn't give but $15? Least you could do is give me a hundred dollar diamond ring."

Here's the rest of the scene:

Lamont: Well, actually, we did pay more than $15 for it.

Smitty: A lot more!

Rollo: ''Hey, well, fellas, you've got to think of my overhead. You know, like, mileage, phone calls, insurance. insurance?''

Fred: ''Now--insurance. When the man's right, he's right. 'Cause I'm fixing to perform a 459.''

Rollo: What's a 459?

Fred: Breaking and entering your skull!

Fred, who then lunges after Rollo, who runs out of the police station, is quickly stopped by three police officers before he could perform his 459!
