Transcript

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

It's the middle of the afternoon, not even 3 o'clock yet, but Gilder sleeve has locked up the water department for the day. He has to get to the bag before it closes and he's told himself it would hardly be worth returning after that.

In one hand he carries a small canvas bag, well stuffed and gathered at the top with a drawstring. On his way down State Street he chances to pass PV's pharmacy. He stops, heps the canvas bag and steps into the shop.

PV my friend? Well, how do I want to thank you everything? PV? I'll bet you can guess what's in that bag. Can I tell you a bag? Yeah. Go on and guess. Excuse me, I'm just keeping this gentleman once, very tall.

Uh, was there something you were looking for, Jack? No, just looking around. I'm waiting for a bus. Oh, well, always glad you're happy for the ground. I don't need to go this way. What can I do?

Go ahead. Guess what's in the bag, P.V.? What's in the bag? Yes. It sounds like money. Correct. And how much money? Guess. All right, what do you want to say? Go ahead, make a guess.

Get the dollar? Ha! My friend right there in that little bag, there's no less than $2,200 in cash. Yes, sir? $2,200. More money than you've ever seen, either. Would you like to see a $20 bill?

You just give me three of my wooden talks around if I were you. Why not? Well, that man over there at the magazine rack, do you know him? I've ever seen him before in my life.
