A Day at the Races1937

Hackenbush:
: Whitmore, one more yelp outta you and I'll have you bounced out of here! (on the phone)...And I trust, sir, that that answers your question.

Whitmore:
I'm sorry, Colonel, I didn't hear you!

Hackenbush:
I can't hear you, you will have to talk a little louder.

Whitmore:
I want to find out something about Hackenbush! (Hackenbush calls him on the intercom again) Well, what is it now?!

Hackenbush:
Whitmore, that's the last time I'm gonna warn you about that yowling! (on the phone) And in conclusion, let me say…

Whitmore:
I'm sorry Colonel. What was that you said about Hackenbush?

Hackenbush:
Hack- you mean, Dr. Hackenbush? Oh, no, he's not here.

Whitmore:
(with mounting impatience) I know he's not there. He's here!

Hackenbush:
Then what are you botherin' me for, Yankee?

Whitmore:
But I want to know something about his Florida record-

Hackenbush:
(in a female telephone operator's voice) Here's your Florida call, Mr. Whitmore-

Whitmmore:
Operator, will you get off the line! Hello, hello, Colonel?

Hackenbush:
Yes?

Whitmore:
Are you sure you're speaking about Hugo Z. Hackenbush?

Hackenbush:
Who?

Whitmore:
Hugo Z. Hackenbush!

Hackenbush:
Who's calling him?

Whitmore:
(barely controlling his temper)...The Standish Sanitarium.

Hackenbush:
Yeah! That's where he works! Say, I understand he's doing a mighty fine job up there.

Whitmore:
I... I want to get some information regarding his qualifications for the job.

Hackenbush:
What job?

Whitmore:
As head of the sanitarium!

Hackenbush:
Who?

Whitmore:
Hackenbush!

Hackenbush:
[on the intercom] Whitmore, are you calling me?

Whitmore:
No, you sap! (picks up the phone)... Hello.

Hackenbush:
Yes, now, uh, now what was that name?

Whitmore:
Hackenbush. HACK-EN-BUSH!

Hackenbush:
Uh-huh. Well, as soon as he comes in, I'll have him get in touch with you.

Whitmore:
[slamming down the phone] No!
