The Joe Palooka Story

Knobby Walsh:
Okay, take this down.

Clyde:
Okey-doke.

Knobby Walsh:
Tomorrow morning, ten laps around the reservoir in Central Park.

Clyde:
Tomorrow morning, ten laps around the reser... resa... Can't he run around the zoo instead?

Knobby Walsh:
Why?

Clyde:
Zoo I can spell.

[on Thanksgiving Eve, Pete Gurvey gives Knobby a rubber turkey as a joke]

Tony Bello:
Knobby, in appreciation for what you done to the fight racket, me and some of the fellas in this here gym has chipped in and bought you this little momentum of our esteem.

Knobby Walsh:
Gee, fellas, I don't know what to say.

Tony Bello:
You'll probably think of something tomorrow.

Knobby Walsh:
What are we going to do with this Texas hummingbird?

Clyde:
Do with it? I'm going to cook it for both of us.

Knobby Walsh:
Can you cook it?

Clyde:
Can I cook? Ask me, "Can I cook?"

Knobby Walsh:
Can you?

Clyde:
Well, yeah. Any moron can cook and I'm just the guy that can do it.

Knobby Walsh:
C'mon, let's give Joe the bird.

Clyde:
Okay, then we'll give him the turkey.

Tony Bello:
This is Pete Gurney. Me and Tony Bello have a gag that's too good to keep. Me and Tony gave Knobby a turkey this morning. Now you better sit down or you'll fall down when I tell you the topper - the turkey is a phony!

Joe Palooka:
It was what?

Tony Bello:
It's made of rubber!

Joe Palooka:
Knobby gave me that turkey and I gave it to a poor kid in an alley. Now you've got something to really laugh about!

Joe Palooka:
Say, how are you and Whitey getting along?

Terry Keough:
Fine. You know, I like him better since I learned something about him.

Joe Palooka:
What's that?

Terry Keough:
He's a sucker for a left.
