Transcript

Yes, that's right folks. C for comedy, A for Abbott, M for Maxwell, E for Ennis, L for Luke Costello. Put them all together and they spell, Camel. Experience is the best teacher. Try a camel.

Let your own experience tell you why more people are smoking camels than ever before. And draw up a chair for tonight's camel show starring foot Abbot and Luke Costello. I love Castello. Come here. Castello.

Will you come over here, please? Will you listen to me? What are you writing on that pad? Hey, Emmon, what are you writing on that pad? I'm just making a list of girls. I'm going to kiss next week.

Here's who I got picked out. Lizzy Schwartz, making Muggle Meyer, Tessie Tinfoil, Lana Turner. Now wait a minute. Lana Turner wouldn't kiss you. Oh, no. Then I'll scratch her off my list. I love her.

You're dumb. You're dumb. You're always thinking of girls. Girls, girls, girls, girls. A great man don't waste their time on girls. Where do you suppose Benjamin Franklin would have been if you'd have thought of girls all of the time?

In the front row at Earl Carroll's? Nah, nah, nah. Pastel I've been telling you for the past three weeks. You've got to quit chasing girls and get yourself a job. Look at you. Look how sloppy you are. Look at your socks.

I can't help my socks have it. It's those new hiccup plastic garter. What's the matter with them? Your socks suck stay up with your legs all down. Yeah! Tell them to look like Stella! Here boy. I don't know where you're fat though.

I'm looking for Luca Stello. Boy he is Luca Stello. The famous Luca Stello. The one and only Luca Stello. That's me. Gee, I listen to you on a radio, it'll be Thursday night. You break me up when you say, how do you do?
