Snooks. Got a nice house, ain’t you?

Jerry [still depressed from recent reverses]. Yeah.

Snooks. Wite, hey?

Jerry [as if he had just noticed it]. Yeah, white.

Snooks [after a pause]. Get dirty quick.

Jerry [adopting an equally laconic manner]. Have it washed.

Snooks. How’s your old woman?

Jerry [uneasily]. She’s all right. Have a cigar?

Snooks [taking the proffered cigar]. Thanks.

Jerry. That’s all right. I got a lot of them.
