He's all the dependent on what is off. Well, well, what would you expect to be offered to you? How much money you got with you darling? Oh about ten dollars for my Josie was it here? She would tell me Such a little business woman my Josie when she dance around with it in a cup the money She's a fool like from heaven Dominic. Why don't you make believe Josie is standing right here? well Well, let me still all right My Josie and me we think we sell it for $35 Well, it's a lot of money Yes, but look at the seven a beautiful music's inside and then at the top pain things and a look is a big with the wheels Like a wedge. We're not arguing about the price, but 35 David, I didn't expect that price to do. I must say it took me by surprise You see nobody she wants to buy for only 35 for dog Well, I wouldn't think of buying it for a cent less than 50. Would you David? Not a cent less It's absolutely ridiculous. Have we got enough money David? Let me see. I'll empty out my pocket Look who you don't think would to buy for you. Will you sell it to us? Salamate. Oh Sure, you'll love for my organ. I sell them to you See that's fifty two dollars and Thirty nine cents two thirty nine sales tax Dominic. It's a deal You pay a fifty dollars for the organ and two dollars and thirty nine cents sales tax not a cent less And don't try to bargain with this Dominic. It won't do you a bit of good And I got the words so much money. Oh, I wouldn't kiss you. I would dance for you I wouldn't do anything for you. I wish you had more Dominic I think this herty-gertie is worth ten times that all you have with the soul you have with the heart and Now you were gonna have with the greatest happiness in the whole world When you said you turn at the little hand and when you're happy you turn at the little hand When it's a rain or the sun is shining you have a music all your life I remember that sweet dreams and a sweet life Dominic wait a minute He's gone.

I never meant to but we can use it as a table when we're not playing it It'll make a beautiful table when the baby comes darling. You won't have to sing to it babies love music It's much better than a radio or a phonograph. Oh, David I don't know where we could have gotten such a buy anywhere else to you Whatever it costs is worth it. I don't see what you're making such a fuss about darling to me It's a perfectly normal thing that we have a herdy-gertie in the house. It's always no wonder David look the children on the pond are waiting for some music and they shall have it why not at least it'll postpone our processions through the street Listen to me. There's a herdy-gertie of mine. I love it To make you look a little more like Dominic and a little less like you leave them my hat out of this I'm a very handsome a man. I see I walked through the world with my music Be Wait a minute there you Yes officer. I mean yes officer. What can I do for you?

Mrs. Dominic Claudia tell the nice officer that this herdy-gertie belongs to us and we didn't buy it to play it We bought it to take home and use it as a coffee table. Are you two nuts? I think we are Opposite Dominic wanted to sell this Josie the monkey died and he wants to go home to Italy Now is that clear poor old Dominic Okay, but well, I ain't having any trouble to see if I catch on the streets playing that hand organ Your goose is going to be cooked so fast Do we look like the kind of people who'd go out in the streets and play this thing? You don't look like the kind of people I would know anyway your hats on crook David Running around with your hat on cook and I never heard of such a thing now get going you to take that thing home or find a nice museum for It and don't let me hear a peep out of you or else Was he nice? He loved Dominic too. I think we could play it softly and the cops around the corner He couldn't possibly hear let's see which way is he going? There goes. He's turned the corner now But I'm not going to play with no go on Darling just a little I know what you are. You're a scaredy cat. I'm a blithering idiot. That's what I am Just crank the little thing once that's the least we can do for Dominic and Josie Don't you think if you touch that handle David, let me crank it just a little bit.
