   Reminds me of this exchange from Animal Crackers, with Chico as the bandleader Ravelli:

   Ravelli: Ah, for playing we get ten dollars an hour. Spaulding: I see. What do you get for not playing? Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour. Now… for rehearsing, we make a special rate, that’s fifteen dollars an hour. Spauling: That’s for rehearsing. Spaulding: And what do you get for not rehearsing? Ravelli: You couldn’t afford it. You see if we don’t rehearse we don’t play. And if we don’t play, that runs into money. . . .
