Archie Installs a Roulette Wheel ( #96)

We take you now to Duffy's Tavern. Hello Duffy's Tavern, where do you leave me seat? Archie the manager's speaking. Duffy ain't here. Hello Duffy, uh, business? Well I can't tell Duffy, we ain't doing any.

Oh, the joint has been empty so long the air in here is getting fresh. Well don't worry Duffy, I got the answer. Yeah, I'm gonna have a press agent and get to join some publicity.

Now don't argue Duffy, publicity is the greatest thing The greatest thing in the world. What do you think made Betty Graybell? Well, they helped, of course. Well, I'm telling you, that's what we need to put the joint back on its feet.

Now I mean publicity. Now, we should have items in the nightclub columns, like among those seen dining at Duffy's last night was the late Harvey Peabody. Or, you know, last night in Duffy's tavern, We spotted Lady Mendel nibbling with a free lunch.

Well, look. Just take my word, Duffy. Sure. I'll bet you inside of a week you'll see long, sleek, black cars pulling up in front of the place. Now, I mean a kind with doors on the side.

Oh, what to you? So I'll call you back, Duffy. And he stopped talking to that mose head. What's the idea?

I just want to hear what a human voice sounds like. Eddie, I can't understand this plethora of customers. What's the reason for it? Well, there's three possible reasons. What? Breakfast, dinner, and supper. Look, Eddie, we may not have the most gut-tutorial food in the world, but we do serve a wholesome, balanced diet.

Balance to the right. They got a 50-50 chance of recovering. Oh, it ain't that bad, Eddie. Now, I think the answer to the whole thing is publicity. Oh, listen, huh? Yeah, you know, man will eat anything if he knows that the next day he can see his name in the paper.
