The Cocoanuts 8Kaufman 9

 

Mr. Hammer [Groucho Marx]: You are now in Cocoanut Manor.... Every lot is a stone's throw from the station. The only reason we haven't got any station is because we haven't got any stones. Eight hundred beautiful residences will be built right here. They are as good as up. Better. You can have any kind of house you want to. You can even get stucco. Oh, how you can get stucco.... Don't forget the guarantee. If these lots don't double themselves in a year, I don't know what you can do about it.
-- George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, movie: The Cocoanuts (1929)
