CUSTOMER: Here’s one.

CART MASTER: Ninepence.

DEAD PERSON: I’m not dead!

CART MASTER: What?

CUSTOMER: Nothing. Here’s your ninepence.

DEAD PERSON: I’m not dead!

CART MASTER: ‘Ere. He says he’s not dead!

CUSTOMER: Yes, he is.

DEAD PERSON: I’m not!

CART MASTER: He isn’t?

CUSTOMER: Well, he will be soon. He’s very ill.

DEAD PERSON: I’m getting better!

CUSTOMER: No, you’re not. You’ll be stone dead in a moment.

CART MASTER: Oh, I can’t take him like that. It’s against regulations.

DEAD PERSON: I don’t want to go on the cart!

CUSTOMER: Oh, don’t be such a baby.

CART MASTER: I can’t take him.

DEAD PERSON: I feel fine!

CUSTOMER: Well, do us a favour.

CART MASTER: I can’t.

CUSTOMER: Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long.

CART MASTER: No, I’ve got to go to the Robinsons’. They’ve lost nine today.

CUSTOMER: Well, when’s your next round?

CART MASTER: Thursday.

DEAD PERSON: I think I’ll go for a walk.

CUSTOMER: You’re not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn’t there something you can
do?

DEAD PERSON: [singing]
I feel happy. I feel happy.
[whop]

CUSTOMER: Ah, thanks very much.

CART MASTER: Not at all. See you on Thursday.

CUSTOMER: Right. All right.
[howl]
[clop clop clop]
Who’s that, then?

CART MASTER: I dunno. Must be a king.

CUSTOMER: Why?

CART MASTER: He hasn’t got shit all over him.
