I hope you are well, | this effulgent morning.
Fine, Pop.
How are all of my little children | of the theater this morning?
That's what I thought.
I have a telegram here that will | warm the cockles of your heart.
I received it | last night at Pocatello.
"The Great McGonigle, | America's leading tragedian. "
It's headed that way.
"Train number 42, upper berth... | Private car number three.
"Dear sir. In reply | to your telegram,
"the advance sale | indicates the worst...
"The best business | this theater has ever known.
"Signed Sneed Hern. " | The manager.
I expect the populace down | to greet us at the station,
possibly with a brass band.
Bellefontaine! | Bellefontaine!
Godfrey Daniel! Strike me | up a gum tree. Here we are.
See, they not only brought a brass | band, but they brought out the militia.
I thank you.
My friends...
My...
Thank you.
My friends of the beautiful | city of Bellefontaine,
words fail me | in expressing our gratitude.
Few of you realize | the penalty of greatness
to which myself | and my company are martyrs.
During our peregrinations | of the seven seas,
we have always had a fond spot in | our heart for dear old Bellefontaine.
And in conclusion,
I wish to thank you on behalf | of myself, the Great McGonigle,
and on behalf of my daughter, | Miss Betty McGonigle.
And on behalf of | the Great McGonigle Company.
I thank you.
I thank you.
I thank you.
Don't shove, daughter. | Little jump here.
Welcome, brother. | I thank you.
I won't...
Left face. | Forward march.
Friends, your reception | has touched my heart.
The opera house is | sold out tonight,
but for your benefit I have | ordered 100 more chairs.
But remember, one and only | one chair to each person.
Bring me my cane.
Thank you. Oh, yes.
Good morning, | my dear Mr. Wendelschaffer.
I hope | I haven't disturbed you.
Mrs. Wendelschaffer, | come down here.
By the by, how is the good Mrs. | Wendelschaffer this morning?
My dear Mrs. Wendelschaffer.
How well you look. | I trust you are fit.
Don't use the word "trust" | around here, Mr. McGonigle.
I hear it too often.
I merely use it | as a hyperbole.
Now, listen to me.
After you've eaten my food | and slept in my beds,
not one piece of baggage goes out | of here until you've paid your bills.
My dear Mrs. Wendelschaffer, | our unimpeachable integrity
has never even been | slightly questioned.
Bertha, show them to | their rooms. Yes, ma'am.
And don't forget to count | the towels. Yes, ma'am.
Is the dining room | open yet?
No!
My dear Bertha. | How charming you look today.
Well, you might as well | pick up your bags.
