Tony:
Hey, boss! C'mere! Sun-Up is the worst horse on the track!

Hackenbush:
I notice he wins all the time.

Tony:
Aw, just because he comes in first.

Hackenbush:
Well, I don't want 'em any better than first.

...

Tony:
Here your ice cream. [offering a hint book for betting on the horses] One dollar and you'll remember me all your life.

Hackenbush:
That's the most nauseating proposition I ever had.

[Hackenbush buys the code book])

Tony:
Here your ice cream. Tootsie-frootsie ice cream.

[The code book says that horse Z-V-B-X-R-P-L will win the next race. Tony offers a free code book to decode the letters.]

Tony:
...just a one dollar printing charge.

Hackenbush:
Well, uh, give me one without printing. I'm sick of printing.

Tony:
...just a two dollar delivery charge.

Hackenbush:
What do you mean delivery charge? I'm standing right next to you.

Tony:
Well, for such a short distance, I make it a dollar.

Hackenbush:
Couldn't I move over here and make it uh - fifty cents?

Tony:
Yes, but I'd move over here and make it a dollar just the same.

Hackenbush:
[after buying many guidebooks] All I wanted was a horse, not a public library.

...

Hackenbush:
[after realizing he was swindled by Tony] Get your Tootsie-Frootsie. Nice ice cream. Nice Tootsie-Frootsie ice cream.
