  Uncle Jed : You-you bet!

• Hank Mahoney : Oh, nothing doing. We're in New York to stay!

  Uncle Jed : S-s-say, say listen, girls, you I-I know this town better than you do. And-and there are more sisters doing their acts over the lunch counters in New York, th-th-then over the - than in the theaters.
