But who got ya a ticket t’ St. Joe? Who got ya a Nehi and a Coney Island? I threw in twenty dollars extra, plus eighty-five cents for the telegram. Without me, you wouldn’t have any of that. I didn’t have take you at all, but I took ya, didn’t I? (pause) Well, I think that’s fair ‘nuf. N we’re all better off. You get to St. Joe ‘n I got a better car. Fair’s fair. Now drink your Nehi and eat your Coney Island.
