The entire exchange:

Fido (kid): What's that?
Ernest (driver): A musical lighter.
F: That's great.
Momo (other guy): Show him your watch.
E: Look. And I've got a gadget that rings when the parking meter is up. (pauses)
F: Is that it?
E: A new Snorkel-brand pen from America with automatic refill and retractable nib. A fiber belt from Oceania. A hat for the tropics. My suit's from London, made of Australian wool. I have vented shoes of Egyptian leather. I've got so much stuff I could puke.
