"My old man is going to wake up in a minute and find me on his checking-account again. Charley boy better be making connections with headquarters or he won't find himself such a hit with the niftiest doll in town, eh?" "Charley, you you haven't run through those thousands and thousands and thousands the papers said you got from your granny that time?" "It was slippery, hon; somebody buttered it."
