Hackenbush:
I notice he wins all the time.

Tony:
Aw, just because he comes in first.

Hackenbush:
Well, I don't want 'em any better than first.

Tony:
Here your ice cream. [offering a hint book for betting on the horses] One dollar and you'll remember me all your life.

Hackenbush:
That's the most nauseating proposition I ever had. [buys code book]

Tony:
Here your ice cream. Tootsie-frootsie ice cream. [code book says that horse Z-V-B-X-R-P-L will win the next race; Tony offers a free code book to decode the letters] …just a one dollar printing charge.

Hackenbush:
Well, uh, give me one without printing. I'm sick of printing.

Tony:
…just a two dollar delivery charge.

Hackenbush:

Tony:

Hackenbush:

Hackenbush:
[after realising he was swindled by Tony] Get your Tootsie-Frootsie. Nice ice cream. Nice Tootsie-Frootsie ice cream.
