The Springy Singing of Connie Haines. And that generous grubby little goblin. Hey! Uh, Cozzello, I've got a big surprise for you. Who do you think is coming over here tonight? It's a lot of turnip?

Nope. Well, it got it? Nope. But he's great, but... Nope. Then I don't care. Oh, Cozzello. I've survived this year. All you think of is women. Don't you realize that here in Hollywood, pretty girls are a dime a dozen?

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Hollywood pretty girls are a diamond dozen. A diamond does it certainly. And I've been spending my money on jelly beans.

Oh. And then sometimes I would buy chorrocco. Chorrocco? That's liquorous spelled backwards, Howard. Well, then, Casa, look, I've invited the greatest press agent in town to come here and handle your public relation. Not so fast, Abbot. What do you mean?

I'll handle my own relations. I couldn't turn poor old Aunt Minnie over to a stranger, you know. Before I do that, I'd rather send her back to the kennel. No, no, no, no. I'm not talking about your relatives. I'm talking about public relations.

Now, you're famous for your funny stories, and this man will publicize your anecdotes. He wouldn't dare. He hasn't got the nerve. What do you mean? I don't mind being amortified. Well, but when you're going to start with my antidote, step enough from our way to the law. No, but he's going to try to make me famous.

That's not right, Lou. That will make you famous. I still have my pride, you know. All right, listen, Costello. I amortization's gone, but I have pride. I know. Right. Listen, Costella, this man has... This man has great contacts with all the pictures studios.
