In the old Holmes movies, Rathbone and the perfect-clown version of Watson, Nigel Bruce -

Watson has called police re an intruder he's holding at gunpoint (this may have been the one about the Torvell bombsight; Holmes in disguise.)

Midway in the conversation he learns there's no need for the call.. (Holmes unmasks)
Somehow, in a zany skit I wouldn't try to paraphrase, it ends up,

Bunch of Hello? Hello?s heard on phone line ..
~~
W: "Who are you?"
phone: "The police"

W: "Police !? What do you want?"

phone: You called us, sir

W: "Wha-at, you must have.."
mumbles of outrage; hangs up.
