Chick Williams : [Raymond and Chick enter the Deli] Raymond, this is stupid. May I have your attention please.
Raymond Paine : Louder.
Chick Williams : May I have your attention please. Announcing the presence, in your midst, of America's number one straight man, top personality in Burlesque, the inimitable... Raymond Paine.
Raymond Paine : [prompting Chick] Applause, applause.
Raymond Paine : [Chick applauds, alone] Ah, thank you, friends. Thank you, and may I say, your sincerity is exceeded only by your vulgarity. Hi ya, Billy. Hello, Mr Minsky.
Billy Minsky : [Raymond and Chick sit down at Billy and Louis Minsky's table] Look, I pay you to be funny, not nauseating. That was nauseating.
Chick Williams : I'm sorry, Billy, I just lost a bet.

Raymond Paine : Ha, ha, ha, ha, you've met a girl. Ah, Chick, my boy, when it comes to girls you have three qualities that are far worse than being short and funny-looking. You have the curse of the three D's: you are decent, devoted and dependable. Good qualities in a dog, disastrous in a man. Women like bastards.
Chick Williams : No wonder they *love* you.
Raymond Paine : Yes, I'm a BFC - Bastard First Class.

Chick Williams : [Haggling with junk dealer Fliegelmann over a prop snake they need for the show] He's got one snake left. Six bucks.
Raymond Paine : [preoccupied with Rachel] Great, let's take it. He can send it to the theater.
Chick Williams : [bargaining light-heartedly] I think six is too much. You're too high, Fliegelmann, I will not pay it.
Raymond Paine : You tell him, Chick.
Mr. Flegelman : I get six for them all the time.
Chick Williams : It's not worth more than four. Down the street, I saw it for three.
Mr. Flegelman : Well, so, go buy it down the street.
Chick Williams : I would, but they're all out.
Mr. Flegelman : If I was all out, you could have it for two. Heh, heh. Here, I'll tell you what I'll do. Five.
Chick Williams : Four.
Mr. Flegelman : Look at the workmanship. Ten days it takes to make such a snake.
Chick Williams : Ten days! It only took six days to make the world!
Mr. Flegelman : But look at the way this is made. Is that seam perfect?
Chick Williams : The seam's perfect.
Mr. Flegelman : And look at the world!
