Would you? You wouldn't.

What if I called it Florida?

Hide your belly buttons,

it's the navel inspector!

Oh, is he here again?

Hey, I'm supposed to meet some

friends here,

I can't imagine what's keeping them.

- Scratch, how are you?

- Duffy, you old rascal.

Raymond Paine, how are you?

- Twenty years!

- Hooray! Good to see you.

Say, this is wonderful.

Together again, hey?

The old Deluxe Quartet.

- Hi, Spats.

- Hiya.

Rachel, this is Chick Williams.

Chick, this is Rachel...

- Schpitendavel.

- Yeah.

The most important thing in the world

is we're all together again.

I'm...

Hold it. There's somebody missing.

- You know who's missing? Chick Williams.

- Who?

Hey, Chick!

- I'm top banana here.

- That's what I used to be, top banana!

It's your cue.

They're waiting for you, Chick.

Look, I gotta go.

Can't take that long. Hey, Chick!

Chick Williams!

Where are you, you old limey?

Well, I'll tell you what, fellas.

I'll tell you what...

- Look, boys, he never looked better.

- Anything for a laugh, Chick?

- What were you doing back there?

- Oh, yes, sir, boys,

there's nothing more important

than friendship.

- Right!

- Right!

Camaraderie.

- You said it!

- You said it!

The most important thing in the world,

we're all together again.

The old Deluxe...

- Quartet!

- Quartet!

Mr. Minsky. Mr. Minsky.

I am Vance Fowler, Secretary

to the New York Society for the...

Fowler, you're here more than I am.

Why do you always introduce yourself?

Believe me, you're unforgettable.

I find your sketches to be lewd

and several of the dance numbers

to contain suggestive movements.

Well, be specific.

I beg your pardon, miss.

You dropped your purse.

Oh, thank you.

And all my money's in here, too.

Well, to show you my appreciation,

you can meet me round the corner

in a half an hour.

Meet me round the corner

in a half an hour.

Meet me round the corner

in a half an hour.

Hey, fellas, did you hear what she said?

She said I could meet her

round the corner in a half an hour.

Well, for one thing,

the ladies all jiggle.

Well, they're girls.

They're supposed to jiggle.

- Where do they jiggle, Fowler?

- On the stage.

What parts of them jiggle on the stage?

Well, they... They jiggle their...

- You know perfectly well what parts!

- Yeah, but I like to hear the words.

Don't think I don't recognize you,

Trim Houlihan.

I see you on these premises

all the time,

being titillated by their...

I wouldn't want you to miss

seeing the parts that titillate me most.

You were sixteen

- You were sixteen

- You were sixteen
