So what DO they say at the beginning of Four Jews?

 I've no idea what they say in the OBC (Maybe the same thing as the 2016 revival?) but in both the cast recording and the proshot at least, from what I know: Whizzer says "I find that VERY OFFENSIVE and I'm gonna have to ask you to WATCH YOUR TONE!" (My fav) Jason says "Everyone picks on Joseph because of his true colours." Mendel says "I heard Bryna was in China with a torn meniscus." And apparently, no one knows what Marvin says?

However, if Marvin Isn't the radiologist mentioned in Falsettoland, who is? here are my thoughts about the character's respective careers and who's most likely to be what. Marvin= Has a job ("I bring home the bacon), is quite well-off ("Salt of the bourgeoisie", can afford to pay Mendel 80/h just to ask him weird personal questions about his ex-wife) which is why I originally thought that he was the radiologist? he mentions being smart multiple times, and though we know act 1 Marvin is highly insecure about his intelligence, he would've used that as justification.
