Mrs. Rittenhouse:
You are one of the musicians, but you were not due until tomorrow.
Ravelli:
Couldn't come tomorrow, that's too quick.
Spaulding:
Say, you're lucky he didn't come yesterday.
Ravelli:
We were busy yesterday. But we charge just the same.
Spaulding:
This is better than exploring. What do you fellas get an hour?
Ravelli:
Oh, for playing, we get ten dollars an hour.
Spaulding:
I see. What do you get for not playing?
Ravelli:
Twelve dollars an hour.
Spaulding:
Well, clip me off a piece of that.
Ravelli:
Now for rehearsing, we make special rate: that's'a fifteen dollars an hour.
Spaulding:
That's for rehearsing?
Ravelli:
That's for rehearsing.
Spaulding:
And what do you get for not rehearsing?
Ravelli: [snaps fingers]
You couldn't afford it. You see, if we don't rehearse, we don't play. And if we don't play , that runs into money.
Spaulding:
How much would you want to run into an open manhole?

Just the cover charge.

Well, drop in some time.

Well, we cleaned that up pretty well.

That's a hundred you owe us.

Hey, I bet I'm gonna lose on the deal. Tomorrow, we leave. That's worth about...

Yeah, that's all right for me, but I gotta partner.
