Well, go ahead and tell me!

The guy on first.

The first baseman.

Dexter Broadhurst

Who is on first.

Sebastian Dinwiddle

Have you got a first baseman on first?

Dexter Broadhurst

Certainly.

Sebastian Dinwiddle

Then who's playing first?

Dexter Broadhurst

Absolutely.

Sebastian Dinwiddle

When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money?

Dexter Broadhurst

Every dollar of it. And why not? The man's entitled to it.

Sebastian Dinwiddle

So who gets it?

Dexter Broadhurst

Why shouldn't he? Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.

Sebastian Dinwiddle

Whose wife?

Dexter Broadhurst

Yes. After all, the man earns it.

Dexter Broadhurst

Absolutely.

Sebastian Dinwiddle

Well, all I'm trying to find out is what's the guy's name on first base.

Dexter Broadhurst

Oh, no, no, What is on second base.

Sebastian Dinwiddle

I'm not asking you who's on second.

Dexter Broadhurst
