You’re among friends - why shouldn’t you be forthcoming?
Are you saying I’m trying to pass the buck?
I hope you Ben jamin, too?
Deer me, did the Professor go stag to the dance and lose his cents?
What’s the point?
How many shillings are in a pun?
You think I’m guinea tell the likes of you?
Do you really think those puns were funny?
Did you not drink enough to enjoy them? 
Are not paronomastic expressions a reflection of the inner wit that winks from the clever spirit?
Well. It’s obvious you have not had enough to drink, Professor, isn’t it, to be able to come up with that?
and I blame that mangled sentence on drinking. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Uh, teetotaler, remember?
How can one as drunk as I am, be expected to remember that?
Would it help to write it on your hand?
To write what on my hand?
Your name?
Puddin’ Tane?
Wanna ask me again?
If I do, will you tell me the same?
The same as what?
