My answer is 45 for this question.

Monday: "Two Tens For a Five."

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's first

scene in the movie 'One Night in the

Tropics' is a classic. 

Abbott cons Costello by simply asking

for change. "Have you got 2 tens for a

five?" he asks. As Lou realised he has

been duped, Bud snaps back: "OK, here's

your five, give me back my 2 tens!" The

skit carries on and Lou loses money! 

"Two Tens for a Five" is a classic vaudeville

routine made famous by Bud Abbott and Lou

Costello and has been repeated many times

over the years.

Here is the script!

Abbott: Have you got two tens for a five?

Costello: Just so happen to have it.

Lou gives Bud ten dollars and Bud gives Lou five dollars. Costello: Just a minute, just one minute! Abbott: Something wrong? Costello: Fifteen dollars just went south! Abbott: What do you mean? Costello: You gave me a lot of your fast talk, you said 'do you have two tens for a five' and I gave you two tens for a five. Abbott: Just a minute, are you accusing me of cheating? Costello: No, but you got two tens for a five. Abbott: Alright here's your five now gimme back my two tens. Costello: Okay, that's better. Bud gives Lou five dollars and Lou gives Bud ten dollars. After a slight pause Lou realises he has been conned again. Costello: What are you doing? Abbott: What’s wrong now?

Costello: Look Abbott, here's two tens gimme a five!

Abbott: Certainly.

Lou gives Bud ten dollars and Bud gives Lou five dollars.

Costello: HA HA HA HAAA! 

You did it to me... 

You did it to me again.

Abbott: Oh come on.
