Butler
- Smythe, The Butler: Have a seat.
- Binji Baker: Well, I've got a seat, but I have no place to put it.
- Smythe, The Butler: Oh, pardon me, sir, but I've heard that one before.
- Smythe, The Butler: Mrs. Schuyler is not at home.
- Stew Smith: I know. I know. I waited outside, until she went out. She's a nice lady, she's all right; but, we don't vibrate well together.
- Stew Smith: Smythe, what do you do with yourself? I mean, when you're not carrying those 'double strength', what do you do?
- Smythe, The Butler: Well, sir, I putter.
- Stew Smith: Smythe... when you're alone and you want to amuse yourself, then what?
- Smythe, The Butler: I just putter.
- Stew Smith: You just putter? Do you have to have a putter to putter?
- Smythe, The Butler: No, sir. I putter with my hands.
- Stew Smith: Well, isn't that nice. You just go right ahead with your... that's all right. How do you do that?
- Smythe, The Butler: Well, sir, I'll show you.
- [moves and adjust various objects]
- Smythe, The Butler: That's puttering, sir.
- Stew Smith: No! That's... well, well... well, it's alright if you like it. Can anybody... anybody can do that?
- Smythe, The Butler: Oh, no, sir. Some people are natural putterers, others can never master it.
- Stew Smith: Oh, my. You mean some people are born and never would become putterers?
- Smythe, The Butler: Yes.
- Stew Smith: Oh, my. Wouldn't that be tragic, to know that you could never be a putterer?
- Smythe, The Butler: Yes, sir.
- Stew Smith: How about me? Do you think if I concentrated and put my whole soul into it, that some day I might be a putterer?
- Smythe, The Butler: You, sir? Mm-mm. You could never be a putterer. Not a good putterer, sir.
- Stew Smith: Well, if I couldn't be a good putterer, I don't want to putter. If I can't be a good putterer, this... why? What makes you think I couldn't be a good putterer?
- Smythe, The Butler: Well, sir, to be a putterer, one's mind must be at ease. A person with a problem could never be a putterer. For instance, a fish can putter in water, but not on land, because he'd be out of place. An eagle can putter around the rugged mountaintops, but not in a cage, because he'd be restless and unhappy. Now sir, if you will pardon me, with all respect, as a Smythe to a Smith, you are an eagle in a cage.
- Stew Smith: A bird? In a gilded cage?
- Smythe, The Butler: Yes, sir.
- Stew Smith: That's all I want to know.
