Souse: Was I here last night?
Joe: Yeah.
Souse: Did I spend five bucks?
Joe: Yeah.

Souse: Has Michael Finn been here today?

Souse: (nodding towards Bank Inspector) Expect him soon.

Yes, indeed, it's the Black Pussy Cat Cafe.

That is the cafe's name. But the characters refer to it as "The Black Pussy" many times. Maybe, just maybe, W.C. Fields got away with something.

"Maybe, just maybe, W.C.Fields got away with something".

Well, a (bank) dick hanging out at Black Pussy... not particularly subtle.
