Chico (Leonard)

now I'd do anything for money. I'd kill somebody for money. I'd

* GROUCHO: Have
you had any experience of the kidnapping ?
CHICO: You
bet! Do you know what I do when I kidnap somebody? First I call
him up on the telephone, then I send him my chauffeur.
G.: Oh, you've got a chauffeur?
C.: Yeah.
G.: What
kind of a car you've got?
C.: I've
not got a car, I've just got a chauffeur.
G.: But,
maybe I'm crazy, but when you have a chauffeur aren't you supposed
to have a car?
C.: Well,
I had one, but, you see, it costs too much to keep a car and a
chauffeur, so I sold the car.
G.: Well,
that shows you how little I know. I would have kept the car and
sold the chauffeur.
C.: That's
no good! I gotta have a chauffeur to take me to work in the morning.
G.: But
if you got no car, how can he take you to work?
C.: He
don't have to take me to work. I no gotta job.
G.: This
is the finish. How much would you want to stand at the wrong end
of a shooting gallery?
(Horse
Feathers, 1932)
* G.: How
is that you never got a double pneumonia?
C.: I
go around by myself.
(The

* Lady:
You're one of the musicians? But you were not due until tomorrow.
C.: Couldn't come tomorrow, it's too quick.
G.: Say,
you're lucky they didn't come yesterday.
C.: We
were busy yesterday, but we charge just the same.
G.: (...)
What do you fellas get an hour?
C.: For
playing, we get-a ten dollars an hour..
G.: I
see! What do you get for not playing?
C.: Twelve
dollars an hour.
G.: Well,
clip me off a piece of that.
C.: Now,
for rehearsing we make a special rate, that's fifteen dollars
an hour.
G.: That's
for rehearsing?
C.: That's
for rehearsing.
G.: And what do you get for not rehearsing?
C.: You
couldn't afford it. You see, if we don't rehearse we don't play,
and if we don't play that runs into money.
G.: How
much do you want to run into an open manhole?
C.: Just
the cover charge.
G.: Well
drop in sometime!.
C.: Sewer!
