• Voyda : [First lines]  Oh, pardon, Monsieur, did you bring my band of Indians?

  Ship's Officer : Indians?

  Voyda : Yes! American Indians! Musicians to play at my cafe.

  Ship's Officer : Oh, you mean Indians with feathers?

  Voyda : Yes! With noses!

  Ship's Officer : Like in the American five cent?

  Voyda : Yes! Yes! Have you got them onboard? Yes!

  Ship's Officer : No!

• Voyda : Indians? Indians? Are you the Wabash Indians Band?

  Huckleberry Haines : Are you Voyda?

  Voyda : I am Alexander Petrovitch Moscovitch Voyda.

  Huckleberry Haines : Let's pick it up from there. We're the boys you hired to play at your cafe: The Wabash Indianians.

  Voyda : Indianians? Is this the same as Indians?

  Huckleberry Haines : Um, well, yes, in a sense, you see we don't, we don't wear our feathers in warm weather. Do we boys? Well, when do we start, Mr. Voyda?

  Voyda : You don't start! I cable for Indians and I want Indians! No pay American faces when they make me a fool of myself.
