You are? |
That's a quarter of a century. Makes a girl think. |
About what? |
About the future. You know like a husband? That's why I'm glad we're going to Florida. |
What's in Florida? |
Millionaires. Flocks of them. They all go south for the winter. Like birds. |
Going to catch yourself a rich bird? |
Oh, I don't care how rich he is as long as he has a yacht and his own private railroad car and his own toothpaste. |
You're entitled. |
Maybe you'll meet one too, Josephine. |
Yeah. With money like Rockefeller, and shoulders like Johnny Weismuller |
I want mine to wear glasses. |
Glasses? |
Men who wear glasses are so much more gentle and sweet and helpless. Haven't you ever noticed? |
Well, now that you've mentioned it |
They get those weak eyes from reading you know, all those long columns of tiny figures in the Wall Street Journal. |
Happy days. |
I hope this time you wind up with the sweet end of the lollipop. |
What's happened? |
Search me. I mean I'll see. |
Okay, Sugar all clear. You better go back to bed. |
I might as well stay in there. I won't be able to sleep anyway. |
Why not? |
Bienstock. He snores to beat the band. We cut cards to see who sleeps over him, and I always lose. Wouldn't you know? |
Want to switch berths with me? |
Would you mind terribly? |
Not at all. |
Thanks, honey. |
Good night, Sugar. |
Well, there they are more millionaires than you can shake a stick at. |
I'll bet there isn't one of them under seventyfive. |
Seventyfive. That's threequarters of a century. Makes a girl think. |
I wish they'd put us in the same room. |
So do I. But don't worry we'll be seeing a lot of each other. |
414 that's the same room number I had in Cincinnati my last time around with a male band. What a heel he was. |
Saxophone player? |
What else? And was I ever crazy about him. Two in the morning, he sent me down for knackwurst and potato salad they were out of potato salad, so I brought coleslaw so he threw it right in my face. |
Forget it, Sugar, will you? Forget about saxophone players. You're going to meet a millionaire a young one. |
What makes you so sure? |
Just my feminine intuition. |
Wait a minute, Daphne. You haven't got a bathing suit. |
She doesn't need one. I don't have one either. |
Oh, I'm terribly sorry. |
My fault. |
You're not hurt, are you? |
I don't think so. |
I wish you'd make sure. |
Why? |
Because usually, when people find out who I am, they get themselves a wheel chair and a shyster lawyer, and sue me for a quarter of a million dollars. |
Well, don't worry. I won't sue you no matter who you are. |
Thank you. |
Who are you? |
Now, really |
Haven't I seen you somewhere before? |
Not very likely. |
Are you staying at the hotel? |
Not at all. |
Your face is familiar. |
Possible you saw it in a newspaper or magazine Vanity Fair |
That must be it. |
Would you mind moving just a little? You're blocking my view. |
Your view of what? |
They run up a redandwhite flag on the yacht when it's time for cocktails. |
You have a yacht? |
Which one is yours the big one? |
Certainly not. with all that unrest in the world, I don't think anybody should have a yacht that sleeps more than twelve. |
I quite agree. Tell me, who runs up that flat your wife? |
No, my flag steward. |
And who mixes the cocktails your wife? |
No, my cocktail steward. Look, if you're interested in whether I'm married or not |
I'm not interested at all. |
Well, I'm not. |
That's very interesting. |
How's the stock market? |
Up, up, up. |
I'll bet just while we were talking, you made like a hundred thousand dollars. |
Could be. Do you play the market? |
No the ukulele. And I sing. |
For your own amusement? |
Well a group of us are appearing at the hotel. Sweet Sue and Her Society Syncopators. |
You're society girls? |
Oh, yes. Quite. You know Vassar, Bryn Mawr we're only doing this for a lark. |
Syncopators does that mean you play that fast music jazz? |
Yeah. Real hot. |
Oh. Well, I guess some like it hot. But personally, I prefer classical music. |
So do I. as a matter of fact, I spent three years at the Sheboygan Conservatory of Music. |
Good school! And your family doesn't object to your career? |
They do indeed. Daddy threatened to cut me off without a cent, but I don't care. It was such a bore comingout parties, cotillions |
Inauguration balls |
opening of the Opera |
riding to hounds |
and always the same Four Hundred. |
You know, it's amazing we never ran into each other before. I'm sure I would have remembered anybody as attractive as you. |
You're very kind. I'll bet you're also very gentle and helpless |
I beg your pardon? |
You see, I have this theory about men with glasses. |
What theory? |
Maybe I'll tell you when I know you a little better. What are you doing tonight? |
Tonight? |
I thought you might like to come to the hotel and hear us play. |
