Transcript

The craft foods company presents the great Gilder's Leaves. Oh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh. It's the great Gilder's Leaves starring Harold Perry, brought to you by the craft foods company. Makers of a complete line of famous quality food products.

Hell if an angel kid himself. Greetings Floyd. Hi Commissioner. I'd like to do a little haircut Floyd. I'm kinda shaggy and back. I'm afraid I couldn't take you right now Commissioner. You'd like to come back.

What do you mean you can't take me? There's nobody here. I got an appointment. What do you mean, appointment? With a customer. He called up. Since when do you have an appointment and it's broken down in poor him?

I don't give any of that nonsense. Hand me one of those magazines there. You can sit there if you want a commissioner, but I'll have to ask you to get out of the chair when Mr. Bullard comes.

Now I'll take it easy. Listen, my fine feathered friend. How would you like it if I were to take my trade someplace else? Okay with me. You don't care how you look. You're not the best barber in the world, you know?

I ain't the worst. He's down the street there. Floyd, are you going to cut my hair, aren't you? All right? I'll just sit here. Oh, Commissioner, you ain't going to be a dog in the main job.

I'm not budging out of this chair for Bullard or anybody else. Least of all, Bullard. The big four-flesser. Listen, Bullard may be a four-flesser, but when it comes to tips, at least he don't... You're hella, Mr. Bullard.

Oh, yeah. Ha, ha, ha. You're just talking about you, Mr. Gillis leaving me. Oh, good afternoon, Gilisley. How do you do? Alrighty, for you, Mr. Bullard. Yes, sir. No waiting. Come on, Commissioner, hop down. I got here first.
