Second Prospector: Nope. We’re good.

First Prospector: Nice seeing you, though. Run along.

Prostitute: Well, I sure am tired. Can I just stay the night? I could keep you boys warm.

Second Prospector: Good gerty merty woman, are you deaf? We’re not interested. We’ve got something you’ll never understand. [caresses first prospector’s face]

Prostitute: What, you got another woman up here?!
