Eddie Kagle:
How long you been down here?
Nick:
Since time immemorial.
Eddie Kagle:
The way you talk, you must've had a good education.
Nick:
A most liberal one.
Eddie Kagle:
I only went through the third grade.
Nick:
I went through the whole gamut of learning. I know everything.
Eddie Kagle:
Stuck on yourself, huh? What's your name?
Nick:
Well, I have a number of aliases. I have a long record under the name of Mephistopheles.
Eddie Kagle:
Greek, huh?
Nick:
Well, there are some who claim I'm more of one nation than another, but that's not true, Eddie. I'm of all nations, I play no favorites.
Eddie Kagle:
You look like a con man. Look, Mephistopheles...
Nick:
Call me Nick.
Eddie Kagle:
You married?
Nick:
Millions of women have adored me.
Eddie Kagle:
Quite a guy with the ladies, huh?
Nick:
I'm a fascinating fellow.
Eddie Kagle:
Look, mug, playing around with dames is dynamite.
Nick:
But most delightful dynamite, Eddie! Live fully while you may, and reckon not the cost. Deny yourself nothing - flame and blaze like a torch, and toss the fire about you! Omar Khayam said it: 'I'll make the most of what we yet may spend, before we too into the dust descend!'
