Voyda : Indians? Indians? Are you the Wabash Indians Band?
Huckleberry Haines : Are you Voyda?
Voyda : I am Alexander Petrovitch Moscovitch Voyda.
Huckleberry Haines : Let's pick it up from there. We're the boys you hired to play at your cafe: The Wabash Indianians.
Voyda : Indianians? Is this the same as Indians?
Huckleberry Haines : Um, well, yes, in a sense, you see we don't, we don't wear our feathers in warm weather. Do we boys? Well, when do we start, Mr. Voyda?
Voyda : You don't start! I cable for Indians and I want Indians! No pay American faces when they make me a fool of myself.
