McGillicuty:
Say Mr. Greene, I hear you manage a baseball team.

Greene:
No. I'm a vaudevillian.

McGillicuty:
No, I think you manage a baseball team.

Greene:
Yes of course, yes I do manage a baseball team.

McGillicuty:
I understand some of the players have rather strange nicknames, rather silly pet names the players have nowadays.

Greene:
Yes, it's true. In fact, I have the team roster with me right here. For instance, Hu is on first base, Watt is on second, and Iduno is on third base.

McGillicuty:
Who's on first base?

Greene:
Yes.

McGillicuty:
Who?

Greene:
Yes, who is the man on first base.

McGillicuty:
Why are you asking me; I'm asking you. What's the name of the guy on first base?

Greene:
No no, Watt is on - oh, I see what your problem is. Look, you're confused by their names, because they all sound like questions.

McGillicuty:
I dunno. [whispers] Third base.

Greene:
Well, I'll explain it to you. See, on first base is Hu, Samuel Hu, and you're probably not familiar with that name because his grandfather was Chinese. And on second base is Hector Watt, W-A-T-T Watt, and that's not so unusual because James Watt invented the steam engine. And on third base is Phil Iduno, I-D-U-N-O, and if you do say that fast, it does sound like the phrase "Gee, I dunno," but it's actually Iduno, Phil Iduno.

McGillicuty:
That's it. You're hopeless, you're pathetic, you're the worst straight man I ever worked with. I quit. I should have never saved you from those seals.

Greene:
What are you talking about? I auditioned for this job.
