Transcript

Thank you, thank you ladies and gentlemen. And now it's off to the alley.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. How's that, Mr. Payne? Mm-hmm. Anybody can do that. Let's hear something else. Look, Mr. Payne, I can imitate anybody. Anybody at all. You just say who you want, I can imitate it.

I've been doing this kind of thing in my cook for years. Mm-hmm. How about that meat, little fellow? What's your name? Oh, you mean the fellow talk to him like this? Look, Mr. All I ask for is just a little piece and quiet.

It's not the big noises that bother me. It's just a little trivial annoying, nor is it like the Virgin of B. How's that? Mm-hmm. Benny, I want you to listen to something I have here on a record.

Sure, Mr. Trainers, you want me to? Some guy I know made a speech on the radio tonight. I recorded it. OK, let's hear it. I want to play part of it back to you. Now listen.

You heard that voice, Benny? Sure, sure. Can you talk like that guy there? Just give me the record in a couple hours of practice and I'll be able to do him so good. Even his mother wouldn't know it wasn't him talking.

How much do you make in that night, pal? For me? You don't see anyone else here, do you? I'm good for 250 right now. 300 sometimes. Uh... Anyone I'll do? What's that? I'll give you $1000 to talk like that guy on the record.

A grand? Just open my mouth? No, not exactly. You'll have to keep it closed about this for the rest of your life. Morning, Dan. Or should I call you Stephen Douglas or a Daniel Webster or Cicero?
