Quoted from advertisement:

Man in box: Go away! I'm tired of trained seals, dogs on tight wires, and
baboons that play the harmonica!

Camel: O Cheerer from the Bronx - this is no animal act, but a lecture on
the virtues of the discerning tongue and the wise whiskey buyer.

Man: Shades of Shakespeare! You mean you're going to entertain me with
that?

Camel: Not only entertain, O First Nighter - but move you to gales of
applause, with the tale of the very best buy in whiskey - dry Paul Jones.

Man: Dry? Paul Jones? A buy? What's this all about?

Camel: Did you not know, O Heckler, that the very best buy is the whiskey
that's dry - Paul Jones? That the discerning tongue realizes how dryness
(or lack of sweetness) does as much to bring out the beauties of a
whiskey as a spotlight does for an ingenue?

Man: Very interesting, my Bedouin Burlesquer. You're not going to pass out
samples are you?

Camel: And did you not know that this rare quality of dryness, which so
delights connoisseurs and is usually reserved for the rich, is yours in
Paul Jones at a price even those in the top balcony can pay?

Man: Say, this isn't a lecture - it's a revelation! The very best buy -
Paul Jones? It's dry? Tell me more!

Camel: My regrets, Impetuous One - the tumblers await their entrance. But
do drop in at the local firehouse tonight. I'm doing a benefit.
