Negotiating the Price of Paulie
Benny: [to Artie]
How much do you want for him, Artie?
Artie:
A lot more than ten bucks, baby. You'd have to grift for more than a year to make his numbers.
Ivy: [to Paulie, Artie, and Benny]
Okay, which one of you three is the proprietor?
Artie: [to Ivy]
Very funny, toots. Uh... What have you there?
Ivy:
Oh, this? This is... This is my easel.
Artie:
Mmm-hmm.
Ivy:
It's a fine one. My late husband go it for me, and I really hate to part with it, you know.
Artie:
Yeah, whatever. Uh... Dead husband aside. Uh... Do you wanna pawn, or sell?
Ivy:
Well...
Tween Paulie: [to Ivy]
The real question is, aren't you prepared to throw in that potholder on your head?!
Ivy: [to Artie]
Well, that was extremely rude! Did you teach him to do that?
Benny: [to Ivy; points at Artie]
Uh... No. No, that's the thing. The dirty mouth is all his.
Tween Paulie: [to Ivy]
What are you looking at?!
Ivy: [to Artie]
You know, I think I'll take him with me.
Benny: [to Ivy]
Well, I don't think so, lady. You see, I saw the bird first.
Ivy: [as Artie and Benny look at each other]
Oh, no, no, no. I'm... I'm afraid you are not the right owner for him. Uh... You know, somebody has got to teach this beautiful bird some manners. Then it might as well be me.
Tween Paulie: [belches]
But, what's wrong with my manners?! BUUUUURRRRRPPPPP!
