Dog (Ventriloquism) : Milk as usual in a saucer.

Bartender : What kind of a dog is he?
Professor Eustace McGargle : He's a cross between a Manchurian yak and an Australian dingo.
Bartender : Well, that's funny. There's some folks right down the road here got a dog exactly like him, but he can't talk.
Professor Eustace McGargle : Well, naturally, I've devoted a lot of time to this dog. Taught him everything he knows.
Bartender : Is he for sale?
Professor Eustace McGargle : Well, for a price.
Bartender : Well, I've give you twenty dollars for him.

[grabs money]
Professor Eustace McGargle : I'll let him go. This breaks my heart. I can't tell you.

Dog (Ventriloquism) : Just for selling me, I'll never speak another word as long as I live!
Professor Eustace McGargle : He's a stubborn little fellow. I'm afraid he'll keep his word.
Bartender : Speak! Speak! Speak!
