Hammer (Groucho): Wages? Do you want to be wage slaves? Answer me that!

Bellhops: No.

Hammer: No, of course not. But what makes wage slaves? Wages!

Chico: Right now I'd do anything for money. I'd kill somebody for money. I'd kill *you* for money. [Harpo looks dejected]

Chico: Ha ha ha. Ah, no. You're my friend. I'd kill you for nothing. [Harpo smiles]

from The Cocoanuts (1929)--- The bellhops (girls dressed like boys) asked hotel manager Groucho for back pay.
