[first lines]

[Slidell has just posted a sign announcing a 25-cent fee for viewing the dead Dalton Boys]

Mr. Slidell, the Mortician:
Ah, good morning, Mr. Parsh.

Detective Hiram Parsh:
Good morning.

Mr. Slidell, the Mortician:
Oh, Mr. Parsh, just a moment, please. Twenty-five cents, sir.

Detective Hiram Parsh:
Identification is my object, Mr. Slidell, not amusement.

Mr. Slidell, the Mortician:
You're a private detective, sir, not a lawman with the privileges of a public servant. Twenty-five cents, please, sir.

[Parsh throws a quarter into the dust a Slidell's feet]
