Could someone check this expected value algebra?

I attached a picture with some lines of algebra that don't quite make sense to me. Actually, the only jump between lines I'm confused about is line 1 to line 2. I think there should be an n^2 pulled out instead of an n. Could someone tell me if I'm correct or if not explain in more basic algebra lines why the jump from line 1 to line 2 is correct?

The Fisher information of the sample proportion from a Bernoulli distribution (which is what I assume you're trying to find) is $\displaystyle \frac{n}{\theta(1-\theta)}$.
