Sometimes you think it’s a little bit, but somebody else thinks it’s too much. OK, sometimes you have enough, sometimes you don’t have enough, and sometimes a whole lot. Groucho: Not a whole lot, just a little lot with nothing on it.Ĭhico: Anytime you gotta too much, and you gotta a whole lot. You fool! If they don’t say anything, you’ll hear them, won’t you? Well, don’t tell them! If we are successful in disposing of these lots, I’ll see that you get a nice commission.Ĭhico: And how about some money?(pats hand for money) Groucho: So if nobody says anything, than you start it off. Don’t pick their pockets, just mingle with them. I said we’re having an auction at Coconut Manor, and when the crowd gathers around, I want you to mingle with them. Groucho: (after a pause) Let’s go ahead as if nothing happened. I come over from Italy on the Atlantic Auction. You do know what an auction is, don’t you?Ĭhico: Sure. I’m gonna hold an auction in a little while at Coconut Manor. Groucho: I’m gonna show you how to make some real money. We see the paper that says “Big boom in Florida”. Groucho: Then how are you going to pay for your room?Ĭhico: We come here to make money. Why? Because I like you.Ĭhico: I don’t gotta no money. That cost me $9000 and I’m going to let you have it for $15,000. Now I can let you have three lots bordering the front, or three lots fronting the border. If you want to keep him in your room, you’ll have to keep him in a trap. (C enters) Now listen to me, I don’t want that red-headed fella running around in the lobby. Groucho: (Looks to stage entrance) Come over here, I want to talk to you. What do you think? Borrik Svenson and I (Captain Dreadnaught) shed our blood, sweat, and tears over this. Here is a transcript of the infamous 'Viaduct' scene from the Marx Brothers movie Cocoanuts. Viaduct (transcribed by Borrik Svenson and Captain Dreadnaught)
