Costello: Look Abbott, if you’re the coach, you must know all the players.

Abbott: Right, certainly do.

Abbott: Oh, I’ll tell you their names, but you know strange as it may seem, they give these ball players now a days, very peculiar names. Well let’s see, we have on the bags, we have Who’s on first, What’s on second, and I Don’t Know is on third.

Costello: Wow, those _are_ unusual names. It must get confusing trying to explain that to people.
