How 'bout you, sir? Step right up!.
Honey, let's see how good this guy is. Now, what do l win?
Anything in this general area right in here.
Anything below the stereo and on this side of the bicentennial glasses.
Anything between the ashtrays and the thimble.
Anything in this three inches right in here, in this area.
That includes the Chiclets, but not the erasers.
No, sir!. Come on, honey.
He thought he had himself a rube.
Frosty, l'm no good at this.
Come on. You're doing fine.
I've already given away eight pencils, two hula dolls and an ashtray...
...and l've only taken in $15.
Navin, you have taken in $15...
...and given away 50 cents worth of crap!.
Which gives us a net profit of $14.50.
It's a profit deal.
Takes the pressure off.

Ladies and gentlemen...
...l draw your attention now to the left side ofthe midway.

What is more important in your work? Playing the piano or composing? - I do both. - Both. Mr. Monk, do you always wear different hats and caps in your concerts? Do they have an influence in your music? No. Good question. Maybe they do. I don't know. Do you think the piano has enough keys? 88? Or do you want more or less? It's hard work to play those 88. I was in the room, Nellie was in the room, backstage. And a reporter came and asked him what kind of music he liked. And Thelonious: "I like all kinds of music." A pretty good, legitimate answer. And then the reporter said, "Do you like country music?" Thelonious didn't answer. And the reporter said, "Well, do you? Do you like country music?" Thelonious looked at me and said, "I think the fellow's hard of hearing."

I remember though, on the way back, he was a little pissed off... ...at Count Basie. What did he say? He said Count Basie kept looking at him... ...while he was playing. He was at the piano and that somehow bothered him. He said, "Next time he plays, I'm going to look at him."
