Battle of the highbrows here
Sixth Young Man: Bride your cousin isn’t she?
Dick: Yes, Cable, she is.
Cable: She certainly is a beauty. Not like you, Dicky. Bet she brings old Anthony to terms.
Maury: Why are all grooms given the title of “old”? I think marriage is an error of youth.
Dick: Maury the professional cynic.
Maury: Why, you intellectual faker!
Fifth Young Man: Battle of the highbrows here, Otis. Pick up what crumbs you can.
Dick: Faker yourself! What do you know?
Maury: What do you know?
Dick: Ask me anything. Any branch of knowledge.
Maury: All right! What is the fundamental principle of biology?
Dick: You don’t know yourself.
Maury: Don’t hedge!
Dick: Well, Natural selection?
Maury: Wrong.
Dick: I give it up.
Maury: Ontogony recapitulates phyllogony.
Fifth Young Man: Take your base!
Maury: Ask you another. What’s the influence of mice on the clover crop?
Fourth Young Man: What’s the influence of rats on the Decalogue?
Maury: Shut up you saphead. There is a connection.
Dick: What is it then?
Maury: Why, let’s see. I seem to have forgotten exactly. Something about the bees eating the clover.
Fourth Young Man: And the clover eating the mice. Haw! Haw!

Must go back to Nippon-dreamland… ZZZZzzzzZZZ

You and I step into the light
Im so graced that I have this
