Set myself a new girl. Beautiful girl. What do you mean? What a dish. I'd call her my little firecracker. Firecracker? Yeah. She's got red hair and bangs. And let her do have it? Now Not just in a cuddle. You say your new girlfriend has red hair and, is she teaching?
What? Is your girl teaching? What do you think she is? A baby? She grew with teaching. She's got all of teaching. No. No. No. No. No. You tell me I'm talking about teaching hair. Piece and hair is red. Piece and hair is red? Personally. Her hair may be red, but her piece is white. She's precious, have piece every day with a toothbrush, patient. Well, look, I look, I said I'm talking about your girlfriend's hair. Does she wave her hair? That's a very silly question. Now what's silly about it? Did you ever see my wife waving her hair? No. But I saw her shaking it out the window. Yeah.
Alright. Alright. Alright. Let's drop it. I saw her do that too. And her teeth went out with it. Well, look, Costello. By the way, who is this new girlfriend of yours? Where did you meet her? Abbott. Her name is Hesse Tinfoil. Tinfoil? I'm more wrapped up in this kid. Oh, cut it out. Where where did you meet this, Tessie Tinfoil? I met her in a private Tesla store. She works there. She works in a five and ten? Yes. She works at two counters. She sings at the music counter, and she sells perfume at the perfume counter. Hey. I'd like to meet her. Well, just walk in the store anytime. If you hear anything or smell anything, that's her. Hey, Godzilla. Have you had a date with this, Tessie tinfoil? Oh, sure. I had a date with her last night, Abbott. I took it at Griffith Park. I lit a lantern, and we sat there spooning. You lit a lantern to spoon? That's ridiculous. When I was courting my wife, I never used a lantern. I know. And look what you got.
I tell her you you can't talk ugly about my Betty. She's a very beautiful woman. She has eyes as big as soft. Yeah. And underneath, she has cups of match. Hell, you better not let my wife hear you say that. She's a very proud woman. In fact, she's very hoity toity. She may be hoity, but she'll ever see toity again. Thank you. Now, fella, please leave my wife out of this. We were talking about miss tinfoil. Are you serious about this girl or is it just puppy love? I think it's puppy love. How do you know? Of course, her nose is always cold and damp. But, touching tinfoil is the most beautiful girl ever I ever saw. You mean she's really pretty? She's more than pretty. She's different.
You know, how Mel Oberon's eyes have that beautiful oriental slant? Yes. Well, touchy's ears slant the same way. Look, that fella, I can't understand your sudden infatuation for this girl. I thought you were engaged to, Ruby Poop you. I was, but I scratched. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Why? What what's wrong? I I wish I hadn't brought that up. Why not? It's all over. Me and Ruby broke our engagement last Saturday night. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that customer. Washed up. How did it happen? Well, I'll tell you. But first, I need some sad music.
Freddie, sad music, please. I said sad. That's pitiful. I wanna tell you something, Adam. Last Saturday night, me and Ruby went to the backstage club. What a gay time we had. We both sat there smoking slamac. Slamac? What's that? Camel spelled backwards. Then what happened? Suddenly, the yorks have broken into a lovely waltz. I grabbed Ruby. I started whirling around the dance floor. Around and around we went. And each time I twirled her around, she got taller. Each time you twirl her, she got taller? Yeah. Ruby's got a wooden leg, and I was turning her the wrong way. Then what happened? Then Ruby started to cry, and then I escorted her to the bench in the corner. I could see her sitting there now. Little Ruby. She had knuckles in her knees, and when she sat down, her knees made a fist.
But why was she crying? Ruby was leaving town the next day. She didn't know how to break the news to me, but she had to go. She had to go, Abbott. She was leaving for Patterson, New Jersey. She was sort of star on her new job. What new job? Slugger for the Broadway Cat Company. You shouldn't have let her go, Costello. I tried my best to stop her. I pleaded with her on my defensive need. I said, Ruby, don't go away or leave me. You'll never find another guy like me, Ruby. Please, Ruby. After all, I'm not a flow. A flow? Yeah. That's whoop. So backwards. I owe And then I held it handily in my arms, and I bent her head back. What a beautiful girl this movie was. Slowly, she opened her big watery eyes.
And looking at me right next to her, she said, hit the road, you bum. Hey, Adam. Did the phone ring while I was out? I'm expecting to call up and touch the tinfoil, my dear. The phone didn't ring. Where have you been? Oh, I went out and bought miss tinfoil some chocolate. Wait a minute, Cartel. Let me see that candy. Yeah. Wait a minute. Those are the biggest pieces of candy I ever saw. What are they? Truffle and covered bananas. Fire. Hey. Pardon me. I gotta answer the phone. The phone didn't ring. Why wait till the last minute? Hey. Yeah. Saves time.
Hello? Hello, you tar. Tar? Yeah. That's rat spelled backwards. Got the same letters. Who you calling a rat? You. So you try to take my girlfriend, Horstance, away from me, Horstance, Homer? Just a minute. You got the wrong party. Oh, change your voice, Homer? Don't try to get me. Hortense told me everything, you wolf. Look. I don't know any Hortense of my name ain't Homer. I'm Luke Costello. Oh, changed your name, Homer? Now look, buddy. You got the wrong number. This is Hillside 2183. Oh, change your number, Homer? Now just a minute. Flying won't help you, Homer. I'm coming over there and rip your red flannels off and horse whoop you till you scream. I don't wear red flannels. I wear PPT.
Oh, change your underwear, Homer. Hey, Abbott. How do you like that guy? Some guy excused me at changing my underwear. That's that. I'm feeling a foul. Well, it's your own fault, Catella. That's all you think about is girls, girls, girls. Don't you ever think of higher things? Yeah. I think of higher things. What are they? Taller girls. Oh. Just a hey. Wait a minute. Just a minute. Is this this tinfoil a tall girl? She's six feet nine. And what a thrill it is to kiss such a tall girl. How could a little shrimp like you kiss such a tall girl? My friends put me up to it. Well, I gotta be going at it. I'm taking this tinfoil to the dance tonight. A dance? That's fine. Wait a minute. Look at your face. Are you going to a dance with those whiskers?
