HARVEY: Excuse me, I mean "Ajax." (Aside, and pointing to FELIX.)
That son of a gun has got me talking that way now.
MAYNARD: I'll be pleased to look at your statue.
HARVEY: (Pointing to FELIX on pedestal.) Here it is, sir.
MAYNARD: (After surveying it critically.) What material is the statue made of?
HARVEY: Brass—pure brass.
MAYNARD: I think the statue will suit me except that the nose is a bit too long.
HARVEY: Well, you can easily take off a piece with a hammer and chisel.
MAYNARD: Why, so I can. But here's another objection. Suppose thieves come around some night and steal the statue?
HARVEY: All you have to do is to bore a hole through one of its legs, pass a chain through it and fasten to the pedestal. (FELIX works up this situation by comic mugging.)
MAYNARD: A very good idea. How much do you want for the statue?
