In a story,a monkey wanted to take a cab:“A talkin’ monkey,” the driver said almost to himself. “You could be worth plen…wherezhu say you wanna go…Marquette? Sure, hop in.”
What are the two words "plen and wherezhu"short for?thanks!

"You could be worth plen…wherezhu say you wanna go…Marquette? Sure, hop in.”


Essentially, the greedy SOB sees this monkey as a way of making money.

Like this.

"OMG! My lucky day! A talking monkey! You'd be worth a fortune (plen as in plenty)! I mean... ahem... where'd you say (wherezhu) you need to go?"

Wherezhu sounds more like "where is it you" to me.

Yep, I agree with Arrgh.

As for the other word, obviously plenty. Sounds like he's just trailing off..

I sense a whiff of "Dear internet, please do my homework for me!" here... could be wrong though :P

Edit: from his other posts, it looks like he's translating books...

"You could be worth plenty…where did you say you wanna go…Marquette?"

"You could be worth plenty. Where do you want to go? The market?"
