SECRETARY: "Yeah, go ahead."

BENNY: "Well, we did a week in Sow Belly, Wyoming. A week in Loose Tooth, Arizona. Three days in Stagnant Water, New Mexico. And we also played the Palace here in New York."

SECRETARY: "Sow Belly, Loose Tooth, Stagnant Water and the Palace! Well, at least you worked your way up."

ALLEN: "No, we played the Palace first."

SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Finally they see the agent, Mickey Rockford, and appeal to him for a break -- a chance to become stars. But he is not interested. Still, they get him to listen to their act. They remind him that he booked them once before.

BENNY: "Mister Rockford, I’m Jack Benny. This is Fred Allen.”

ALLEN: "That's right, Mister Rockford. Remember? You booked our act seven years ago."

ROCKFORD: "Oh yes, what business are you in now?"

ALLEN: "Well, we are still in show business."

BENNY: "Yes, and we thought you could book us."

ROCKFORD: "Please, fellows."

ALLEN: "Our new act is sensational. At least give us a chance, Mister Rockford."

BENNY: " Yes, all we need is one good break, you know."

ROCKFORD: "I gave you a break when I put you in Loew's Flatbush."

ALLEN: "Some break. They opened it with Fink's Mules, and Major Doughty's dogs came out, then Manny's Monkeys, then Powers' Dancing Elephants."

ROCKFORD: "So what?"

ALLEN: "By the time we came out, we looked like the last two passengers on Noah's Ark."
