  [Joe and Rizzo laugh] 

  Shirley : Hey. Why are you laughing, Joe? Are you really a cowboy?

  Joe Buck : Well, I'll tell you the truth now. I ain't a for-real cowboy, but I am one hell of a stud!

  Ratso Rizzo : A very expensive stud and I happen to be his manager.

  Shirley : How much is this gonna cost me?

  Ratso Rizzo : Twenty bucks.

  Shirley : Okay.

  Ratso Rizzo : And taxi fare for me.

  Shirley : Oh, get lost, will ya?

  Ratso Rizzo : I agree, but for that service I charge one buck taxi fare. Okay?

  Joe Buck : Well, it ain't never happened to me before! You can bet your bottom dollar on that. Where's the matches, ma'am?

  Joe Buck : That's the first goddamn time the thing ever quit on me. That's a fact. You think I'm lyin' to you?

  Shirley : No. No, I don't think you're lying. I just had this funny image. I had this image of a policeman without his stick and a bugler without his horn etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
