The Purchase Price Quote
[Four ladies, including our heroine, Joan, are headed west on a train. Three of them are comparing notes on their mail-order husbands while snacking. Joan is not participating]
Queenie, Girl on Train: [Looking at a picture] Oh, yours has got bushy eyebrows; he'll tickle ya every time he kisses ya.
Woman on Train #2: [Talking with her mouth full] I don't care
[giggles]
Woman on Train #2: as long as he kisses.
[the three of them laugh riotously, while Joan looks annoyed]
Queenie, Girl on Train: [Leaning forward, holding a banana up to her mouth] You know what they say about men with bushy eyebrows and a long nose?
Woman on Train #2: [Pushes Queenie back, and forcing the banana halfway down her throat] Aw, Queenie, I can tell you've been married before!
[the three women cackle and continue eating, while Joan tries to ignore them]
Woman on Train #3: Mine's got a Buick, and a Ford, and an Indian squaw to do heavy work.
Queenie, Girl on Train: Aw, that ain't nuthin'. Mine's got a radio and a bathroom with runnin' water. I think it's in the picture he sent me.
Woman on Train #2: Did he send a picture of himself *in* the bath?
[the three of them crack up again. Joan rolls her eyes]
Queenie, Girl on Train: [to Joan] Say, has yours got plumbin'? Or is it one of them farmhouses, ya know, with a telephone booth in the back yard?
Joan Gordon, aka Francine La Rue: I don't know.
