Mrs. Buttonwood, Willie and others in “You Ain't Nothin But a Hound Dog”

[as she hears Willie knocking on the door] Shut up, you mutt! I'm coming! I'm coming! Keep your pants on! [opens the door] Oh, it's you.

Willie

Oh, I-I-I'm sorry, Mrs. Buttonwood I-I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Step inside, Tanner. You're letting all the flies out.

Willie

Hey-hey, hey. Alfina. Hey, how you doing, girl? You know, Mrs. Buttonwood, I-I-I'd really like to have her back.

I'd like to be Christie Brinkley. You learn to live with it.

Willie

But the dog's real owner came by today and she, she would love to have her back.

She can have her back.

Willie

Great.

For 500 bucks.

Willie

500?

Bucks! You have a hearing problem?

Willie

But the dog's real owner is-is a little girl. And-and she misses her so much. You know, she was crying in my living room.

Aw. Breaks your heart, doesn't it? 500 BUCKS!

Willie

Will you take a check?

CASH!

Willie

Cash. You can't be too careful.

There's a lot of slime out there.

Willie

I hear you.

You know, I don't have $500 cash on me.

[knocking from outside] Ethel! Open up!

My ex-boyfriend, that is, if he ain't short of a dollar and jealous to the bone. Just a minute, honey. I'm not dressed yet.

Ethel! You got a man in there?'

MAYBE THERE IS! You better get out of here while your face is still in the front.

Willie

But I, I haven't done anything.

I'll give you a rain check.

Willie

Climb out that window.

Oh, that's silly!

Willie

Is there a backdoor?

It's all boarded up. Vince threw the mailman through it last week.

Willie

[as he climbs out of the window]Oh, suddenly, that looks like quite a drop!

Don't be a wuss.

Willie

[falls down from Mrs. Buttonwood's window] Stop!
