Mr. Skinner: Anything happen today, sir?
Ferry Attendant: Happen?
Mr. Skinner: Like unusual.
Ferry Attendant: Well, a man was killed stag hunting on one of the islands. Fell off his horse. You mean unusual like that?
Mr. Skinner: Not exactly.
Ferry Attendant: I saw the body. His two friends brought him across. All swollen and ugly. You know what I mean?

Mr. Skinner: I've been in consultation with our Director and we've decided that what has been needed in this bank for a long time is a special officer. Or, to refer to the article of the underworld, a bank dick. In lieu of your heroism, your valiant, dauntless courage, I have the honor to offer you this position. The remuneration at first will be very small - we're a growing concern. We're young. But, there are a great many chances for advancement. Who knows? Within a short time, you may become my Vice President. My first and only vice.
Egbert Sousé: Very good. What time in the morning?
Mr. Skinner: The bank opens at ten o'clock.
Egbert Sousé: Oh, well, that's all right. If I'm not here on time, just go right ahead without me. I'll catch up with ya.

Mr. Skinner: We are grateful to you for retrieving the bank's funds.
Egbert Sousé: Oh, well, that was in the line of duty.
Mr. Skinner: And we feel we've shown our gratitude by giving you a position as bank's officer. But, when you caution Mrs. Muttle's little son, about carrying a toy pistol into the bank, that's going too far. I can not impress upon you to firmly, the Skinner Bank is a dignified institution.
Egbert Sousé: Yeah, that's the way I always figured it, yes. I guess you figured it the same way, working here the same as I do.
Mr. Skinner: Furthermore, I've been informed that you are a frequenter of a cafe known as the Black Pussy.
-- Mr. Skinner
