George Burns:
[Gracie blathers on about her Uncle Harvey] And now, Gracie, say goodnight.

Gracie Allen:
You don't want to hear about the job he had helping that plumber? Well, the only reason he lost the job is because he did what the plumber told him to.

George Burns:
That's why he LOST it?

Gracie Allen:
Well, yes. You see, what happened was they were trying to hammer some pipe through a hole in the wall, so the plumber held it and he said to Uncle Harvey, "Now, when I nod my head, you hit it with that big hammer."

George Burns:
So?

Gracie Allen:
So the plumber did and Uncle Harvey did.

George Burns:
And Uncle Harvey isn't working for the plumber anymore.

Gracie Allen:
There is no plumber anymore!
