I didn't know there was that much love left in the entire Western Union codebook.

It's a grand old name

Say, Dad, will you tell Josie that there's no reason to break up the act?

Oh, gosh. I forgot.

- Well, what do you think? - I didn't like it. It didn't appeal to me.

You're too anxious to make good.

I'm so glad you like it, Dad.

Get your props together. You're on next.

- And a very good idea too. - Now I know who got the dog act drunk.

- Does he dance? - One of the best.
