- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: What I wouldn't give to sink my teeth into a big, thick, juicy T-bone steak, with gravy oozing out of it.
- [picture of steak appears onscreen]
- Title card: 3 minute intermission for drooling. The Management.
- Announcer: [as a Patrons Attention title card appears] Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please. Due to the numerous requests received in the last five minutes, we're going to show you the steak again.
- [the picture of the T-bone steak is shown again as the cartoon ends]
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: I'm starving. No food in months. It's discouraging, that's what it is. Why, I ain't eaten in so long, even my stomach is talking back to me. Listen.
- Stomach: [echoing] Send down one hamburger, everything on it!
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: You see what I mean? Hey, Joe, when's the last time you ate?
- Joe Buzzard: Are you kidding?
- [opens mouth; it has cobwebs and a sign that reads, "Closed for the Duration"]
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: I'm so hungry, I could eat...
- [sees Joe as a roast chicken]
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: ...anything.
- Joe Buzzard: [sees other vulture as roast chicken also] Yeah, me too.
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: Hey, Joe. What are you trying to do, eat me?
- Joe Buzzard: Nah, pal. I was only kidding. I couldn't eat you even if I wanted to, on account of this bad tooth I got. Here, take a look at this cavity. right there, way in the back. See? Way in the back.
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: [sticks head into Joe's mouth] I don't see nothing, Joe.
- [Joe bites down; Jimmy looks as if he's headless, but head soon pops back out]
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: What a repulsive way to make a living.
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: Hey, Joe. I can't do it. I'm all washed up. One of us has got to die, then it might as well be me.
- [gives Joe a cleaver and puts head in chopping block]
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: Okay, Joe. Go ahead. You can kill me.
- [Joe strikes with cleaver; Jimmy retracts head]
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: You know, Joe? I believe you would, too.
- Joe Buzzard: [sees Jimmy Buzzard acting like a rattlesnake] A snake! *turns green and faints*

- Jimmy Durante Buzzard Scream: [sees a real rattlesnake] *gasps!*
- Jimmy Durante Buzzard: [turns green and faints] Am so am I. *resumes fainting*
