Transcript

The castello program starring Bud Abbott and Luke Costello brought to you by camel the cigarette of costlier properly aged tobaccos. The Abbott and Costello program with the music of Karl Hoff and his orchestra, a singing star, Amy Arnell, and spotlighting that chunky chubby little cherub who went caught putting a ladder against the roof because he heard his uncle Larty Stevens say he was going to

Well, you see, you have a universal studio. So you're going to make a picture called Napoleon and Judith Venus. And I am going to play Napoleon. There's only one thing that stands in my way.

What's that? Charles Boye. I... Stella, are you crashing yourself with Charles Boye? What's Boye got that I haven't got five times as much as? What was Boye? LAUGHTER You've certainly got a lot of nerve-custella comparing yourself with Charles Boy.

Do you realize that he won a nouster for his performance in Gaslight? I was in a picture. Wait a minute. I saw Gaslight. I didn't see you in it. I turn on a gas. Never mind that. How can you compare yourself with Boy A?

He's got charm. I got charm. Ah, he dresses like a fashion plate. I can dress like a fashion plate. And Boy has sex appeal. I can dress like a fashion plate. I should have quit when I was even.
