- Do you know that Florida is the show spot of America and Cocoanut Beach is the black spot of Florida?

- You told me about this yesterday.

- I know, but I left out a comma.

- Look. In a little while we're gonna hold an auction sale at Cocoanut Manor, the suburb terrible... uh, beautiful.

- You must come over. There's gonna be entertainment, sandwiches and the auction. If you don't like auctions, we can play contract.

- Here it is. Cocoanut Manor, 42 hours from Times Square by railroad. 1600 miles as the crow flies, 1800 as the horseflies.

- There you are, Cocoanut Manor glorifying the American sewer and the Florida sucker.

- Why, it's the most exclusive residential district in Florida. Nobody lives there.

- And the climate... Ask me about the climate, I dare you.

- Very well. How...

- I'm glad you brought it up.

- Our motto is, Cocoanut Beach... no snow, no ice and no business.

- Do you know that Florida is the greatest state in the Union?

- Is it?

- Take its climate. No, we took that. Take its fruits, take the alligator pears. Take all the alligator pears and keep 'em. See if I care.

- Do you know how alligator pears are made?

- Haven't the slightest idea.

- There you are. That's because you've never been an alligator, and don't let it happen again.
