HARVEY: Five hundred dollars.
MAYNARD: That's a lot of money, but I think I shall buy it anyhow.
HARVEY: Well, just hand over the five hundred, and the statue is yours. (MAYNARD and HARVEY move to a position in front of the statue. MAYNARD takes a roll of bills from his pocket and in handling them, drops one. As he bends forward to pick it up, FELIX pokes him with the stick, knocking him over frontwards. MAYNARD thinks HARVEY has kicked him.)
MAYNARD: (To Harvey.) What do you mean by kicking me, sir?
HARVEY: Why, I didn't kick you.
MAYNARD: If I hadn't set my heart on owning the statue, I'd call the deal off right now.
HARVEY: (Starting to get a bit angry.) I tell you I didn't kick you.
MAYNARD: Well, don't do it again. Here's your money. (MAYNARD hands HARVEY roll of bills, who counts it and lets the last bill fall on stage. In stooping to pick it up, FELIX pokes HARVEY, causing him to fall over frontwards. HARVEY thinks MAYNARD has kicked him.)
HARVEY: (To MAYNARD.) A joke's a joke, but this is going entirely too far.
MAYNARD: What on earth are you talking about?
