Baravelli:
[at the speakeasy door] Who are you?

Wagstaff:
I'm fine thanks, who are you?

Baravelli:
I'm fine too, but you can't come in unless you give the password.

Wagstaff:
Well, what is the password?

Baravelli:
Aw, no! You gotta tell me. Hey, I tell what I do. I give you three guesses. It's the name of a fish.

Wagstaff:
Is it Mary?

Baravelli:
Ha-ha. That's-a no fish.

Wagstaff:
She isn't, well, she drinks like one. Let me see. Is it sturgeon?

Baravelli:
Hey you crazy! Sturgeon, he's a doctor cuts you open when-a you sick. Now I give you one more chance.

Wagstaff:
I got it! Haddock!

Baravelli:
That's-a funny. I gotta haddock, too.

Wagstaff:
What do you take for a haddock?

Baravelli:
Well-a, sometimes I take-a aspirin, sometimes I take-a calomel.

Wagstaff:
Say, I'd walk a mile for a calomel.

Baravelli:
You mean chocolate calomel. I like that too, but you no guess it. Hey, what-sa matter, you no understand English? You can't come in here unless you say 'swordfish.' Now I'll give you one more guess.

Wagstaff:
[to himself] Swordfish, swordfish. [to Baravelli] I think I got it. Is it 'swordfish'?

Baravelli:
Hah! That's-a it! You guess it!

Wagstaff:
Pretty good, eh?

[When Baravelli opens the door and congratulates him, Wagstaff sneaks in the door and shuts it. Baravelli knocks and Wagstaff opens the portal]

Wagstaff:
Whatta you want?

Baravelli:
I wanna come in

Wagstaff:
What's the password?

Baravelli:
Ahh, you're no foolin' me. Swordfish.

Wagstaff:
No, I got tired of that. I changed it.

Baravelli:
What's the password now?

Wagstaff:
Gee, I forgot it. I'd better come outside with you.

[exits and both are now locked out]
