Who's on first?
Continues

Costello:  Got a catcher?

Abbott:  Certainly.

Costello:  The catcher’s name.

Abbott:  Today.

Costello:  Today? And tomorrow’s pitching?

Abbott:  Now, you’ve got it.

Costello:  All we got is a couple of days on the team. You know, I’m a catcher too.

Abbott:  So they tell me.

Costello:  I get behind the plate, do some fancy catching. Tomorrow’s pitching on my team and a heavy hitter gets up.

Abbott:  Yes.

Costello:  Now, the heavy hitter bunts the ball. When he bunts the ball, me being a good catcher, I want to throw the guy out at first base. So I pick up the ball, and throw it to who?

Abbott:  Now that’s the first thing that you’ve said right.

Costello:  I don’t even know what I’m talking about!

Abbott:  Well that’s all you have to do!

Costello:  Is throw the ball to first base?

Abbott:  Yes.

Costello:  Now who’s got it?

Abbott:  Naturally.

(Pause)

Costello:  Look, if I throw the ball to first base, somebody’s got to get it. Now who has it?

Abbott:  Naturally.

Costello:  Who?

Abbott:  Naturally.

Costello:  Naturally?

Abbott:  Naturally.

Costello:  So I pick up the ball and throw it to Naturally?


Abbott:  No you don’t! You throw the ball to Who!

Costello:  Naturally.

Abbott:  That’s different.

Costello:  That’s what I said.

Abbott:  You’re not saying that.

Costello:  I throw the ball to Naturally?

Abbott:  You throw it to Who.

Costello:  Naturally.

Abbott:  That’s it.

Costello:  That’s what I said!

Abbott:  Listen, you ask me.

Costello:  I throw the ball to who?

Abbott:  Naturally.

Costello:  Now, you ask me.

Abbott:  You throw the ball to Who?

Costello:  Naturally.

Abbott:  That’s it.

Costello:  Same as you!

Abbott:  You just changed them around.

Costello:  Same as you! I throw the ball to who. Whoever it is drops the ball, the guy runs to second, who picks up the ball, throw’s it to what, what throw’s it to I don’t know, I don’t know throw’s it back to tomorrow, triple play!

Abbott:  Yes.

Costello:  Another guy gets up, and it’s a long fly ball to because. Why? I don’t know, he’s on third, and I don’t give a darn!

Abbott:  Oh … what?

Costello:  I said, I don’t give a darn!

Abbott:  Oh ... that’s our short stop!
