(Mr. Davis knocking on the coffins)
Fred: Nobody's in there. Dummy checked. (edit) Mr. Davis: (after shaking Fred's hand) Excuse me if my hands are cold. "Cold hands, warm chapel". That's a joke in my profession.
Fred: That's about as funny as a train wreck. Now that will give you some business. (edit) Mr. Davis: Are they (the coffins) made out of copper and zinc? They do make a difference, you know.
Fred: Not to the one getting in them. (edit) Fred: You hear that Elizabeth? I'm coming to join you honey. Your dummy son has made me a wooden overcoat. Oh Elizabeth!
Lamont: What's the matter with you? (edit) Fred: How would you like one across yo' lip?
Lamont: Sure. That's always your answer. (edit)
