“ Donkey's
"And how is Hector McDonald, my Grandma's little parrot seller?"
"Don't let her tease you, Hector."
"Little Willie darling heard your voice. He wants you to take him bye-bye."
"You're just an old darling, Hector. I won't tease you any more."
"You're makin' a play for that guy!"
"Since when do you own me?"
"If you tip that boob off to who we are, I'll lay some lilies under your chin!"
"Da-da! Da-da!"
"If you don't stop yelling, you'll tip him off yourself."
"I'll get Mrs. O'Grady."
"I think you'd better show the parrots. They talk so well for you." ”

“ Let's finish our talk in the store."
"You sold a parrot to Mr. Arlington. Who delivered it?"
"Oh! So you delivered it yourself? You forget easy, don't you?"
"So long. I'll see you later."
"That dick has a line on us——we gotta think fast!"
"He's got a hunch Hector turned this trick. Let's plant the jewels in the boob's room!"
"That's it! Make him the fall guy!"
"That's what we hired him for, isn't it ... in case we got in a jam?"
Christmas night——
"Don't you think my savings are enough for us to start on?" ”

“ Arlington. The parrot you sold me doesn't talk."
"Here's another parrot that won't talk."
"All right, I'll come over. I'm sure when the bird sees me it will fell more at home."
"The lady from the bird store, Mr. Arlington."
"May I leave him here? He might cry if he sees the——"
"B——"
"——I——"
"——R——"
"——D."
"Take mine, darling—and Granny will get you some red beads just like those."
"He's always been so fond of beads!"
Christmas Eve——
"—and then, Echo says to me 'Granny will get you some red beads just like those'!" ”
