Don't try and sell me the Brooklyn Bridge.
I know it belongs to the Dodgers.

:47:07
Oh, I don't mind you seeing the column
in advance, so long as JJ doesn't know.

:47:12
But don't do it like a little boy
stealing gum from a slot machine.

:47:24
Who put this item in about the comic?
:47:26
"If there's a more hilarious man
than Herbie Temple at the Palace,

:47:29
pardon us for not catching the name.
We were too busy screaming."

:47:33
- Does this Temple have a press agent?
- No.

:47:36
It's one of JJ's occasional beaux gestes.
:47:39
Evidently the fellow's funny,
so he gave him a plug.

:47:42
What's your favourite ribbon
for your favourite chocolate?

:47:46
Let's wait till Christmas.
It's more legitimate then.

:47:57
- Hey!
- Herbie Temple on stage yet?

:47:59
Yeah, but you can't go in there now.
:48:02
I said "Figo, I'm not
selling ya a dozen eggs."

:48:05
"I'm selling ya Herbie Temple,
so don't gimme any of your lip."

:48:11
- Hi, Al.
- Since when did you two get acquainted?

:48:14
- How do you do, Mr Temple?
- D-d-delighted.

:48:16
- I'm Sidney Falco.
- Oh, d-d-d I'm glad to know you.

:48:19
Watch out for this guy.
He's a press agent.

:48:22
You watch out for him, Al. I stutter.
:48:25
- I caught your act the other night...
- On the first or the second bounce?

:48:29
- I thought you were great.
- Well, that's fine.

:48:32
What time is it, Al?
:48:34
You got ten minutes yet.
:48:36
I hate to bother you, but we're kinda busy.
:48:39
It's all right. A little busy myself.
:48:41
I'm busy, too. Don't call us, we'll call you.
:48:44
May I ask an impertinent question,
with no criticism intended?

:48:50
but how can you let a sock act like Herbie
tiptoe along without a publicity build?

:48:54
We're not buyin' it, Falco.
No fish today.

:48:57
I'm not selling any. I'm just curious.
:48:59
Answer his question fast
before he asks you five more.
