Letter of Introduction1938

Edgar Bergen:
I don't think that's very funny.

Charlie McCarthy:
You don't?

Edgar Bergen:
No.

Charlie McCarthy:
Well then, why did you make me say it?

Edgar Bergen:
Oh, I see.

Charlie McCarthy:
[Aside] That kills him, yes. [to Bergen] Uh, you're not so clever either, Mr. Bergen.

Edgar Bergen:
Oh, I'm not?

Charlie McCarthy:
No, I can see your lips move.

Edgar Bergen:
Oh, you can?

Charlie McCarthy:
[Aside] That burns him up, you know. I'll hear about this when I get home.

Edgar Bergen:
Yes, you will. [pause] Well, I'm sorry about that.

Charlie McCarthy:
Will you watch it, please?

Edgar Bergen:
I will watch it, yes.

Charlie McCarthy:
Yes, it spoils the illusion. After all, there's no use of both of us being dummies.
