That's right pour it on. Talk me out of it.
Well, here we are.
You two from the Poliakoff Agency?
Yes, we're the new girls.
Hey, Sheboygan you two what was your last job playing square dances?
No funerals.
Would you mind rejoining the living? Goose it up a little.
We got it secondhand.
All right lets take it from the top. And put a little heat under it, will you?
We got time off for good behavior.
There are two things I will not put up with during working hours. One is liquor and the other one is men.
Hey, Sig can we talk to you?
Nellie, get me long distance. What is it?
What are you a couple of comedians? Get out of here! Long distance? Get me the William Morris Agency in New York.
You need a bass and a sax, don't you?
The instruments are right, but you are not. I want to speak to Mr. Morris.
The wrong shape? You looking for hunchbacks or something?
It's not the backs that worry me.
What kind of band is this, anyway?
You got to be under twentyfive
No, we couldn't!
William Morris!
Look, if you boys want to pick up a little money tonight At the University of Illinois they are having you should excuse the expression a St. Valentine's dance.
We'll take it!
You got it. It's six dollars a man. Be on the campus in Urbana at eight o'clock
Anything today?
Oh, it's you! You got a lot of nerve
Thank you.
Now look, Nellie if it's about last Saturday night I can explain everything.
What a heel! I spend four dollars to get my hair marcelled, I buy me a new negligee, I bake him a great big pizza pie... and where were you?
Oh?
Nellie baby, I'll make it up to you.
You're making it up pretty good so far.
The minute we get a job, I'm going to take you out to the swellest restaurant
What's the job?
It's three weeks in Florida
Please, Jerry that's no way to talk. Nellie baby what are you doing tonight?
Why?
Because I got some plans
I'm not doing anything. I just thought I'd go home and have some cold pizza
And you'll be in all evening?
Yes, Joe.
Good! Then you won't be needing your car.
My car? Why, you
Don't I know you two from somewhere?
We're just a couple of musicians we come to pick up a car Nellie Weinmeyer's car there's a dance tonight Come on, Jerry.
Wait a minute. Where do you think you're going?
To Urbana. It's a hundred miles.
You ain't going nowhere.
I don't like no witnesses.
We won't breathe a word.
You won't breathe nothing' not even air.
I don't mean to be forward but ain't I had the pleasure of meeting you two broads before?
Oh, no!
This is her roommate. Daphne can't talk right now. Is it anything urgent?
Well, it is to me. Will you give her a message? I'd like her to have a little supper with me on my yacht after the show tonight.
Got it. Supper yacht after the show I'll tell her. Your yacht?
The New Caledonia. That's the name of it. The Old Caledonia went down during a wild party off Cape Hatteras. But tell her not to worry this is going to be a quiet little midnight snack just the two of us.
Just the two of you? What about the crew?
Oh, that's all taken care of. I'm giving them shore leave. We'll have a little cold pheasant and champagne and I checked with the Coast Guard there'll be a full moon tonight oh, and tell her I got a new batch of Rudy Vallee records
That's good thinking. Daphne's a pushover for him.
Just a moment, miss May I?
Help yourself.
I am Osgood Fielding the Third.
I am Cinderella the Second.
If there is one thing I admire, it's a girl with a shapely ankle.
Me too. Bye now.
Let me carry one of the instruments.
Thank you. Aren't you a sweetheart?
It certainly is delightful to have some young blood around here.
Personally, I'm Type O.
You know, I've always been fascinated by show business.
You don't say.
Yes, indeed. It's cost my family quite a bit of money.
You invest in shows?
No it's showgirls. I've been married seven or eight times.
You're not sure?
Mama is keeping score. Frankly, she's getting rather annoyed with me
I'm not surprised.
So this year, when George White's Scandals opened, she packed me off to Florida. Right now she thinks I'm out there on my yacht deepsea fishing.
Well, pull in your reel, Mr. Fielding. You're barking up the wrong fish.
If I promise not to be a naughty boy how about dinner tonight?
Sorry. I'll be on the bandstand.
Oh, of course. which of these instruments do you play?
Bull fiddle.
Fascinating. Do you use a bow or do you just pluck it?
Most of the time I slap it.
You must be quite a girl.
Wanna bet?
My last wife was an acrobatic dancer you know, sort of a contortionist she could smoke a cigarette while holding it between her toes Zowie! but Mama broke it up.
Why?
She doesn't approve of girls who smoke.
Goodbye, Mr. Fielding.
Goodbye?
This is where I get off.
Oh, you don't get off that easy.
Please. It won't happen again.
No, thank you. I'll walk.
But it's such a waste a full moon an empty yacht
I'll throw up!
