Chick Williams : [Raymond and Chick enter the Deli] Raymond, this is stupid. May I have your attention please.
Raymond Paine : Louder.
Chick Williams : May I have your attention please. Announcing the presence, in your midst, of America's number one straight man, top personality in Burlesque, the inimitable... Raymond Paine.
Raymond Paine : [prompting Chick] Applause, applause.
Raymond Paine : [Chick applauds, alone] Ah, thank you, friends. Thank you, and may I say, your sincerity is exceeded only by your vulgarity. Hi ya, Billy. Hello, Mr Minsky.
Billy Minsky : [Raymond and Chick sit down at Billy and Louis Minsky's table] Look, I pay you to be funny, not nauseating. That was nauseating.
Chick Williams : I'm sorry, Billy, I just lost a bet.
