Hunk Houghton : [to the mail clerks] Hurry up, fellas. I gotta count my fan mail.
Hunk Houghton : [starts reading the envelopes] Vince Everett. Everett. Everett.
Hunk Houghton : [calls the mail clerks over] Hey, you birds, come here. How would you like to make 5 cartons a piece?
Mail Clerk #1 : Five? Who do you want us to murder?
Hunk Houghton : This is the easiest money you'll ever make as long as you live. All's you gotta do is to keep your mouth shut. I mean, about the mail. I made a mistake and I gave the kid the best spot in the show. Naturally, if any word of this gets out all this mail's for Vince Everett, it makes me look bad. Follow? I mean me, the professional singer.
Mail Clerk #1 : I, uh... I see.
Hunk Houghton : If within a week the words not around, you get the cigarettes.
Mail Clerk #2 : Yeah, but it's Everett's mail. Who's gonna keep him quiet?
Hunk Houghton : If I know the warden, Everett will never get it.
