"Ah-ha-ha!" "Are you sure I'll be the only Madam Pompadour at the ball?" "My dear lady, this is a one-of-a-kind costume that I imported from Paris." "Well, Little Bo Peep is ready for action." "OK?" "Ah, charming!" "What Madam Pompadour would have given to look like you." "Her head." "Or was that Marie Antoinette?" "Is this a good night to go out with the wrong man so the right man'll ask me to marry him?" "Well, for that, any night is the right night." "Especially on Mardi Gras night." "Harry, give me a hand." "We still have ten Madam Pompadours to get rid of." "Guess who." "Nellie?" "I thought you'd changed your mind." "Nellie?" "!" "Why, Johnny, you...!" "Frankie, I..." "I knew it was you." "I was trying to make you jealous." " Convinced?" " That was a guilty kiss if I ever had one." " Let's go." " Go where?" "You know Braden's holding open house in suite 309." "Come on." " I promised to wait here for Cully." " Cully and who else?" "Just Cully." "I swear." "With the left hand?" "All right, I'll meet you there." "Suite 309." "Frankie?" "Remember how to do that after we get married." "Well, I fooled her." "Watch it!" "I'm not gettin' any younger." " Did you find Nellie?" " Braden set her up in room 306." "She said to meet her there." "Can't I talk you out of this?" "Not a chance." "Go up to 309 and keep Frankie busy." "I promised to do a number with the band." "Last year's model."

" Not with Nellie, if that's what you think." " That's what he thinks." " Shut up, Blackie." "I didn't open my mouth." "Would Nellie two-time you?" "Would Johnny?" "They'd be crazy!" "Fill it up, Blackie." "Come in, Johnny!" "Be right with you!" "Get up!" " Who are you?" " You know darn well who I am!" "Hey!" "You'll never believe it, but you and me and Nellie are triplets!" "Mitzi!" "What are you doing here?" "First you gotta tell me where I am." "Well!" "As one Madam Pompadour to the other..." "Why did you say "Come in, Johnny" when I knocked?" "Because I was expecting him." "Any objections?" "If I start to pull your hair out, I'm not going to stop at your wig!" "Johnny thinks I'm his Lady Luck." "He just wants me to go to the casino with him." "What else does he have in mind?" "Well, that depends on how much he wins... or how much I want to lose." "Attention!" "I want attention, please!" "Wouldn't it be funny if Johnny made love to me when he thought he was making love to Nellie, only it turned out to be you!" " She's not as dumb as she looks." " Five'll get you ten." "No, wait a minute." "She has a great idea." "Put on your mask." "What do you have in mind?" "A little masquerade." "But first, what's the real reason you're going out with Johnny?" " To come between us?" " Of course not." "To make Braden jealous." "Jealous enough to ask me to marry him." " You really love him!" " As much as you love Johnny." "Good." "Now, let's hear you say:" "Johnny, do you suppose I could come between you and Frankie?" "Johnny, do you suppose I could come between you and Frankie?" "Johnny, do you suppose I could come between you and Frankie?" " That's amazing!" " And convincing?" "You sound more like me than I do!" "Now walk." "You've got to be born with that." "But I'll try." "That's good!" "Nellie?" " Nellie?" " Come in, darling!" " Sorry I'm late." " I'll be with you in a minute." "I have to get a handkerchief." "Tonight's the night." "I can feel it." "That roulette wheel's gonna light up." " So will Frankie if she finds out about it." " Oh, she'd kill me." "Yes, she would." "Just like in the song." "Ready or not, here I come!" "We'll live it up tonight!" " Now we'll prove the gypsy was right." " We'll do more than that, won't we?" "You're for me, Nellie, all the way." "Nellie!" "Nellie, where are you goin'?" "Nobody'll talk to me any more." "I've been abandoned." " But Johnny isn't with Nellie." "I told you." " Then why wasn't she at my party?" " Don't go bruising' your knuckles, Boss." " I don't need any nursemaids." "Who's there?" "Identify yourself." "Mitzi?" "Come in, honey!" "What are you doing here?" "Where's Nellie?" "I'm here because I'm here..." "alone... by the world forgot." "I said, where's Nellie?" "Her?" "Oh, she went out with Johnny." "I knew I was right." "She's cheating on you, he's cheating on Frankie..." "Why don't you cheat on somebody?" "I have been taken." "I haven't!" " Well, two can play that little game." " Two like me and you?" "I just love games!" "Welcome home." "Watch the wig!" "It's rented!" " Who was that?" " Must've been Frankie." " What was she doing here?" " How should I know?" "It's not my room." " You worried about Braden?" " You worried about Frankie?" "What she doesn't know won't hurt her, will it?" "Chips, please." "Lucky ones." "You stand right over here, where you were before." "That's it." "Frankie's cricket, for insurance." "How can I lose?" "Got my lucky girl with me." " What number do you like?" " Two." "Like in Frankie and you." "Why not?" "It rhymes." "Spin it real pretty." " A winner." "Two, black." " How about that!" "I can't miss with you!" " Pick another number and we'll be rich." " How about playing your age?" "Five." " Five it is." "Who wants to grow up?" " You're over the limit, sir." "Then raise it." " The limit's off, sir." " So is your hand." " My hand?" " Off the magnet button." " Or shall I say it loud and clear?" " We run an honest wheel." "The two of us are gonna see to that." " Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen." " Don't be chintzy." "Bet it all." " On the five?" " And cover all the corners." " You really know the game." " I used to go with a gambler." "I'll surround that five so it can't get away." "Broke again, but just for a minute." ""We run an honest game," remember?" " Five." " Cash me in, will you?" " $10,000." "Didn't I tell you we'd do it?" " Yes, you did." "From now on, it's me and you, Nellie, in every casino." "Are you with me?" "Why not?" "It can't be." "No two women kiss alike." ""It can't be" is right! "From now on, it's you and me, Nellie." "Are you with me?"" "Well, maybe she is, but I'm not!" " What happened?" " He won and I lost." "And it's just the way I want it!" "We're all washed up!" " I don't believe you." " No?" "Have a ball." "I might just be in the mood." " You sure murdered 'em tonight." " Yeah, right through the heart." "Frankie!" "You came back." "Nellie!" "What are you doing here?" "Maybe the gypsy was right." "Maybe we were meant for each other." "Gee, it's great to be number one again." "Hold the thought." "What about your plan to make Braden jealous?" "It backfired." "He switched to Mitzi..." "so I'm switching to you." " I could do worse." " I doubt it." "You're still a loser, winner." "I owe you seven weeks' salary, plus..." "Oh!" "It was only champagne, honey." "He's all yours, Mitzi." "What's left of him." " Back to 306?" " No." "Back to Frankie, if she'll have me." "Gypsy or no gypsy." "Well!" "Alone at last." "OK, so I got the money for Broadway." "So what?" " You sure Frankie walked out on you?" " I can still feel her farewell message." " Sorry to interrupt the party." " Frankie!" "Look!" "Look." "This is our big-time bankroll." " We got it made!" " "We"?" "Sure." "The gypsy was wrong." "I don't need a redhead." "I need you." "You're my Lady Luck." "You're the family banker." "You know what I think of this money, or any gambling money?" "I'll show you." "You wouldn't!" "You would." "Money!" "Fifty-dollar bills!" "Lady, you won't believe it, but some nut's throwin' his money away!" "I believe it." "Giddap." "Come on." " How disgusting!" " Money!" "Dropping out of the clouds!" "Money?" "!" "Let me in there!" "Get out of my way!" "Let me in there!" "Hey, folks!" "Folks?" " The money flying out of that window..." " Money?" "What money?" " I accidentally dropped it." " I didn't see any money." "Did you?" "No!" "I don't guess you did, did you?" "Hey, kid." "Did you see the money flying out the window up there?" " No, sir." "I didn't see any money." " OK." " Got change for a fifty, mister?"
