Listen to the great rhythms of Freddie Ritz and his orchestra. The swingy singing of Connie Haines. And that silver-throated tenor whose soft liquid voice thrills millions each time he croons. Castello, I demand an explanation.
You were supposed to meet me here at seven o'clock. Where have you been? Seven o'clock, it's three o'clock. Well, whatever time it was, you missed the date. Well, I just came from the second national bank, have it?
Well, I had to go over there and open my vault. But Castello, you have no money in that bank. I know it. Then why did you open the vault? I wanted to take a bite out of my Hershey bar.
Oh, shut up. You don't have a vault. Is that my vault? Oh, wait a minute, Costello. I just heard over the radio that the second national bank was robbed this afternoon. Wait a minute. Were you there during the robbery?
No, but I was there for the tea party. A tea party in the bank? Yeah, while I was standing there, a guy walked in and he says, All right boys, hand over the sugar. Hand over the sugar.
That's what he said. Costello, wait a minute. Quick. What did this man look like? I don't know. He had such a bad cold. He had a haggard. He had a tight across his nose. You tell me that was a mask. He was the crook who robbed the bank.
No, he wasn't at it. He was a crook. He was a president of the bank. He offered to tell me to bank for a cow. He said, you're the bank for a cow? Yeah, he said, one befutter, you and I'll give you a business.
