Mr. Brady
- Mr. Brady: What would you think about a 25-cent reprint of "The Portrait of Dorian Gray"?
- Richard Sherman: "The Portrait of Dorian Gray"?
- Mr. Brady: It's a natural, Sherman! Look what we'll be giving them for a quarter! Vice, lust and corruption. The story of a young man: on the surface, clear-eyed and healthy, just like you, Sherman. But underneath, ah, dry rot! And the termites of sin and depravity, *gnawing* at his soul. Well, how's that strike you, Sherman?
- Mr. Brady: How long have you been married, Sherman?
- Richard Sherman: Seven years, Mr. Brady.
- Mr. Brady: Well, wait till you've been married as long as I have and you'll be delighted to get rid of them for the summer. Now, take me. Shipped Betty and the kids to Nantucket yesterday afternoon and I haven't been to bed since. Drank bourbon, smoked cigars, played poker with the boys till a quarter of nine this morning. Came directly to the office. Never felt better in my life. As a matter of fact, I may not go to bed at all till the family gets back in September.
- Mr. Brady: What about the two of us teaming up tonight, seeing if we can get lucky? And it doesn't have to be just poker, either. We'll cut loose and have us a real hootenanny!
- Richard Sherman: Well, it's very kind of you, Mr. Brady, but I don't think - well, I mean, I'm really not up - no hootenannies. No, no, no.
