00:07Wait a minute. Hey, you're pretty old to be a messenger boy, aren't you?
00:10Well, lad, I've been delivering telegrams around here for nine out of forty years.
00:15I remember when this place used to be a livery stable.
00:18You mean there used to be horses and jackasses in here?
00:22Mm-hmm, yes.
00:23Just think, a livery stable. And now you and I are broadcasting from here, Rabbit.
00:27Yep. Ain't changed much.
00:29Uh, here's a telegram for you, Castello.
00:35Thanks.
00:36Thanks. Hey, Castello, he's an old man. Give him a tip.
00:38Okay. Mr. Messenger, how much of a tip do you usually get for delivering a telegram?
00:42Well, uh, the average tip is five dollars.
00:46Okay. Here's five dollars.
00:47Ah, thanks. I want to tell you that in all the forty years I've been delivering telegrams,
00:53you're the first fellow to ever come up to the average.
00:56So long.
