...why don't y'all drop over

for the weekend...

...and bring Mrs. Culpepper

and all the kids with y'all.

- Why, sure.

Well, so long, y'all.

It's been a real pleasure, sir.

Look, operator...

I'd kind of like Plaza 5-5597,

Operator. Ope...

- Hello, operator.

- Number, please.

I want to speak

to Sir Geoffrey Kirsten...

...of the Frennessey Brandy Company,

Cape Town, South Africa.

No, I don't know the number.

Oh, she don't know the number.

- Hello, Porky.

- Hello, Por...

Hello. Hello, are you there?

Is that you, Gwendolyn, my darling?

Hello, Porky.

You stink, you big baboon.

And that goes for you too, buster.

- Hello, operator.

Operator,

I would like to speak to Oogu...

...in Dumdum Proper,

South Transylvania.

No, I don't know the number...

...and I don't know

Mr. Oogu's first name.

All I know is Oogu.

Just plain Oogu.

One moment, please.

Hello, Oogu speaking.

Look, Oogu,

you won't remember me...

...but we met

at a preview of Dorian Gray.

- Sure, sure.

- Yeah.

Look, Oogu, I wonder

if you would do me a favor.

Sure, any friend

of a friend is a friend.

Oh, I'm glad you feel that way.

Look, Oogu...

...would you get me Plaza 5-55...

- Sorry, your three minutes are up.

That'll be 94 dollars and 45 cents.

Keep moving.

Watch your step there.

Step lively. Right this way, please.

Step lively. Keep moving.

- Hey, excuse me.

- Hey.

I beg your pardon.

Now, this property that we're gonna

look at is worth $ 190,000.

He's asking 125.

We'll offer him...

...fifty-five...

We'll offer him 60

and settle for 75.

Nothing doing.

Why don't you leave the bu?

- Well, really.

- I'm sorry. All right.

Why don't you leave

the business things to me? I... I...

Excuse me, little girl... Madam.

Now, listen, I'll get it for 50,000.

I'll save you 25.

Never mind.

If it's worth 150,000, I'll give him 75.

No, $50,000. Now stop worrying

about it, will you? I'm your lawyer.

You're my lawyer.

It'll be like the last deal.

You were gonna save me 25,000

and I lost the whole deal.

I could have made 200,000.

You're my lawyer.

- Hey, what's the matter?

- You're under arrest.

- It ain't lit.

- I said you were under arrest.

- What for?

- For expectorating in a subway.

Now I gotta take you to court
