You 34 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,560 can't have everything. Remember the famous words of the hunchback of Notre 35 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,300 who once said to his tailor, forget my pants, just fix my jacket. 36 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,560 Yeah, as a matter of fact, hold it down. When he checked in, oh, no, I ain't 37 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,720 getting off now. I got you going. As a matter of fact, when he checked into the 38 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,220 MGM Grand, they not only gave him a beautiful suite, they gave him a 39 00:03:33,220 --> 00:03:34,220 filled with ripples. 40 00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:49,570 They said, why is that right? 41 00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:54,410 They said war costs millions of dollars a day and love just a few bucks a night. 42 00:03:59,330 --> 00:04:03,270 He grew up rough. Rough and tough. 43 00:04:03,490 --> 00:04:06,970 When he was a kid, he used to wear wool tweed pants and no underwear. 44 00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:09,810 They used to call him Roe High. 45 00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:16,490 I see Johnny Bencher. Johnny, when we were kids, we were suspicious. 46 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,320 We used to slide into first base on a walk. 47 00:04:19,579 --> 00:04:24,120 Oh, we trusted nobody because we had been lied to. We didn't believe that 48 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,120 goose nonsense. 49 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,960 Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail of water. We knew water didn't flow 50 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,960 uphill. 51 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,380 We didn't believe that Santa Claus nonsense. 52 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,140 We know ain't no white man gonna ride no reindeer through Harlem after midnight. 53 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,440 Come back to the show.

They had saved their money and they put it in a fish on the wall. 55 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,840 And I remember little Lawrence Jacobs said he was going to take the money and 56 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,280 invest it so he could become a tycoon. 57 00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:05,740 That's what we used to call the guy that sold neckwear in our neighborhood. 58 00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:21,090 just to Gabe Kaplan but to sweat hogs all over the world to all of you young 59 00:05:21,090 --> 00:05:26,390 people in all the schools I say seek for knowledge go to a college stay there 60 00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:31,510 until you are through if they could make penicillin out of moldy cheese they can 61 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:32,830 make something out of you 62 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,900 She's a young Puerto Rican lady who works for Gabe as his maid. 63 00:05:56,460 --> 00:06:02,440 Puerto Rico to Hollywood to Las Vegas, Miss Consuela Garcia. 64 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,280 Bravo!
