"Mama!" "Shut up!" "I'm busy." "Mama, the train's coming!" "Answer me now." "Oh." "Good afternoon." "Oh, don't be funny." "Somebody's nice and early..." "NOT." "Don't bother me." "You're gonna catch it." "You better hurry." "Hey, those are not rocks, you know." "Oh, what of it?" "Whose cigarette case?" "BP's." "Who's BP?" "Oh, just a fellow." "Oh." "When did he give it to you?" "He didn't give it to me." "I found it under his seat last night." "Well, why didn't you turn it in?" "Oh, I don't know." "I thought someone might call for it." "Oh?" "I get it." "You, uh...?" "All right, girls." "Line up." "All right." "Fall in front." "Joseph, go down stairs." "Left." "Right." "Left." "Right." "Left." "Right." "Left." "Right...." "Oh, hi." "Left." "Right." "Left." "Right." "Bunny, you've forgotten your hat!" "Huh?" "Go back and get it." "You can't!" "Oh, holy smoke." "But, Mr. Mindil." "And listen." "Shakespeare was right." "You can fool some of the people some of the time." "And you can fool some of the people some of the time." "But you can fool some of the people some of the time." "You said it." "You betcha I said it." "And believe me." "I once knew a case of a fella who was saying –" "Sorry." "Halt." "Do you know what time it is?" "No, but I can find out." "Halt." "And no fresh entrants." "That's the 10th time you've been late." "I'm sorry, Mr. Mindil." "Well?" "Well." " The alarm clock didn't work." " The alarm clock didn't work." " And there was a game on the L." " And there was a game on the L." "I know better already." "I've heard from this." "And don't think you can get away with it forever." "If I catch you late one more – I don't want to see it." "Look what I found last night." "Found?" "Mmm-hmm." "Mmm!" "18 carats!" "Carats!" "Halt." "With your figure and our pants, you should bend from the knee." "So." "That's better." "And you." "Where were you last night?" "Well, uh –" "There was a terrible fight on the subway." "And I got kicked in the rumpus." "Really?" "Oh, Commodore." "Pardon me." "But could you direct me to the lost and found department?" "You'd better talk to our manager, sir." "He's right inside." "Mr. Mindil?" "Yes?" "Oh, thank you." "Dodo." "That's him." "Who?" "BP." "Isn't he grand?" "Yeah." "Mr. Mindil." "Yes, sir." " My name is Thayer." " How do you do?" "I lost a gold cigarette case in here yesterday." "And it's got BP on it." "I'd like to offer a reward for it." "In the Marathon Theatre, you can lose some of the things all the time." "And you can lose some of your things all the time." "But you can't lose some of the things some of the time." "Oh, thank you." "Don't thank me." "You better thank Miss..." "O'Day." "She turned it in." "Well, that's good." "Which is Miss O'Day?" "Oh, that one there." "Much obliged." "I want to thank you for finding my case." "Not her." "Me." "Oh." "Well, I want to thank you for finding the case, Miss... uh?" "It's nothing, really." "Well, just the same I do thank you." "Here." "Oh, please." "I couldn't." "In the Marathon Theatre, the girls don't expect any rewards." "Believe me, I once knew a case." "And this case was a woman who lost her husband here." "But I found him in the basement." " He was going –" " All right, girls." "Attention!" "To your places." "Turn." "Forward, march!" "I guess it's kind of dark in here." "That's why he didn't recognize you." "He didn't even see me!" "I'm just a uniform." "And he's the kind that travels square." "It lefts me out, doesn't it?" "I'll give you three guesses who the first customer is." "The dumb Swede?" "You guessed it." "Oh, yeah, thank you." "I – I came early to tell you I'll be late." "What?" "I mean, I gotta go now." "But I'll come back." "I got an appointment with my lawyer in this building." "But I want you to save a seat for me." "That – that one over there." "I want it to be here when I come back." "Well, that seat will be there." "But I can't reserve it." "Oh, that's all right." "Just save it for me." "Will you?" " All right." " Thank you." "Delighted." "Wouldn't you know it?" "The kind I draw." "I bet if I found his cigarette case, he'd be asking me to marry him by now." "Yes, sir." "Right this way, sir." "Do you remember your uncle at all?" "Uh, I don't think so." "Well, he remembered you." "It seems that you're his favorite nephew." "Uh, yes, sir." "Did he have any other nephews?" "Uh, no, sir." "Of course, you know the kind of a man your uncle was." "Oh, yes, sir." "He was a Swede." "Olson?" "Your uncle was unique." "By golly, is that why he never got married?" "I mean he had a very good reputation." "In spite of the fact that he kept a gambling house." "Oh." "No doubt you thought your uncle died that he had assets." "Yes, sir." "They killed him." "I'm sorry, Olson." "But after all your uncle's debts were paid off, there was nothing left." "Except that cooperative apartment and the Rolls-Royce." "Yes, sir." "Well." "Where are they?" "The apartment is on Park Avenue." "And the car is in the garage." "Oh." "Now, as I explained to you," "I can dispose of that apartment." "Well –" "I don't think so." "But, my dear boy." "But what possible use can you have for them, huh?" "Your life is spent at sea." "Well –" "But –" "Someday I'm gonna...have a wife." "And kids." "Well, even so, 12 rooms would be too many." "I don't think so." "Oh." "So that's the end of a perfect squeeze." "By golly, I'm glad that I waited." "Happy days are here again." "I've got something to tell you." "Sorry, old bean." "But we're on our way to lunch." "Oh." "Well, I've had my lunch." "Good." "But I'll go with you." "Not so good." "Huh?" "Just a minute." "Hey." "Hey." "Your coffee." "Yeah, coffee." "Can we sit here?" "Yes." "Say, how would you like to have an apartment on Park Avenue?" "And a Rolls-Royce?" "Fine." "How would you?" "Uh, I – I've got them." "Maybe – maybe you don't –" "I can see you don't believe him." "I bet you own the Chrysler Building too." "No." "I think Mr. Chrysler owns that." "All I've got is just an apartment and a Rolls-Royce." "My uncle was a millionaire." "And I'm my uncles only heir." "She said to him – she said "oh, yeah?"" "And hit him with a rocking chair." "Yeah?" "Yeah!" "You see –" "You see, I – I got to go away." "I just meet him." "And he goes away." "Oh." "My boat's sailing in an hour." "A yacht?" "No." "It ain't a yacht." "It's a liner." "It's a liner?" "She's leaving for Panama." "Big time this week." "He's going to town." "Gonna buy himself a hat." "Nuh-uh." "Well, come on, Dodo." "Let's go." "Okay." "And don't forget to send us a nice picture postcard of the canal." "Yes'm, I will." "Address it to Fran Carol." "Oh, that – that ain't your name." "I asked the head usher." "My goodness, the boy is bright." "Pardon me." "Wait a minute." "I'll go with you." "Gee, I bet you were surprised. me letting you have my apartment." "Oh, no." "People give me things like that every day." "Say, I'm not giving it to you." "No, I'm just lending it to you." "Hello, Bunny." "Hello." "How are you?" "Got the afternoon off?" "Yeah." "Why should I work?" "Hey, who is that fella?" "Farewell." "Goodbye, sailor." "Thanks for the apartment." "Yeah." "Oh, you'll take good care of it, won't you?" "Like a mother." "And she'll wash the floors every day." "Yes, ma'am." "Wouldn't it be a laugh if he really had an apartment?" "Well, that guy –" "Say, wait a minute." "I – I almost forgot – forgot to give you the key." "What key?" "Well, this one is for the apartment." "And this one is for the Rolls-Royce." "Look at that." "Can you see it?" "Oh!" "Well, Dotty." "Ot looks like we're sitting pretty." "Oh!" "What's that?" "I think we better get out of here." "No." "Let's see." "Come on." "Nothing but a table." "Oh, boy." "A sleeper bed." "What are you doing?" "Aw, just a try out." "Let's move our things right in." "You mean you're going to keep this place?" "Sure." "Why not?" "Come on." "Say, have you thought of this?" "It's gonna cost an awful lot of money." "Of course, it's all paid for." "Shh!" "Don't open the door." "I'll bet it's Olson." "And he wants the place back." "Oh, well." "Easy come, easy go." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "I'm Mr. Wilkie, the superintendent." "Yes?" "I understand you're going to open up." "Olson asked me to." "I'm going to send Charlie over to see you." "Charlie?" "He used to take care of things for Olson." "Unless you have got somebody else in mind." "No." "No." "No." "Charlie's your man." "A lot of people are certainly gonna be glad you're gonna open up this place again." "What's it to them?" "Hey." "What about this charmer?" "Bryant 8164." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to call up Mindil and ask him over." "He'll tell me what to do." "But he can't leave the theater." "He'll have to move her after the show." "We'll give him a swell feed." "Of course, can you imagine the surprise?" "Yes, operator." "8164 Bryant." "That's right." "Bryant 8164." "Ardmore Arms." "Oh, I get you, Mr. Wilkie." "8164?" "Ardmore Arms." "Hello, Mr. Kay." "Olson's is opening tonight." "Hello?" "Hello, Mr. Brass." "Olson's is open." "Hello?" "A message for you, sir." "Olson's is opening." "Wait a minute." "Olson's is open." "Tell Mr. Nateman, Olson's is open." "Oh, you don't say." "Olson's is open." "Thanks." "I'm sorry." "Oh, hi, Bunny." "Too bad you can't apply?" "All right." "All right." "Good night." "Oh, I got the swellest place at Maxie's – all for a dollars worth." "And when a man saw the car, he wanted to charge it." "Oh, yeah?" "Boy, it's no use talking." "When I have nothing, I got nothing." "Now I got an apartment and a car." "Boy, everything's coming my way." "Say, we get plenty of that stuff." "That men will like." "That liverwurst." "Oh, we've even got planes out of donuts." "Hey, what's this?" "Listen." "How do you open this?" "Oh, I know." "Hey, if it's a dollar, I'll leave it." "Did you ladies want to see somebody?" "I'm Miss O'Day." "Oh, I'm Charlie." "He's Charlie?" "Yes." "Mr. Wilkie told me you wanted me to take charge." "So I went right ahead." "Oh, yes." "That's quite a nice little crowd dropped in already." "So I noticed." "Yes, there's Mr. Burton, the banker." "Battling Hannon." " All Mr. Olson's friends." " Oh." "Oh, and I ordered supper from downstairs." "Some caviar." "Chicken salad." "Pate de foie gras." "Yes." "Who pays for all that?" "Why, you." "Oh, I do?" "Well, that is to say the house." "And you're the house." "Oh, I'm the house?" "Yes." "You see, I furnish the bankroll." "You kick in with the rest." "And we split." " We split?" " Yeah." "It looks like a pretty good night." "There's over $1200 in the house already." " You mean I –" " Don't worry." "Your percentage will be 10 times that." "You'll pardon me." "I've got to get back." "It's a gambling house." "And we are running it." "It's a gambling house." "And we're running out!" " Hello, Jack." " Hello, Doug." "Seems like old times." "Come on, Curly." "Come on." "It's all fun." "How are you?" " Hey, Charlie." " Yeah." "Who was that?" "Oh, he lives in the building." "His name is Andy." "No, no." "The other one." "Oh, you mean Thayer." "Don't worry about him." "He's got plenty of money." "Listen." "You said I was the house, didn't you?" "That's right." "You're the house." "Well, can the house go in there and play?" "Say, that's not a bad idea." "Come on in." "But suppose I lose?" "Yes, well, you're the house." "Oh, that's right." "I'm the house." "Bunny, you're not going to gamble?" "Didn't you hear him say I couldn't lose?" "That's not gambling." "But what will Mindil say?" "Oh, he'll say I once knew a case." "All right, Dave." "Let's have a stake." "What's the limit?" "No limit, Mr. Andrews." "Ah, that's the game." "Give the lady five stacks." "Red looks good." "Mmm." "Darn good." "17... on the black." "That's the black." "Nothing." "Gonna play red again?" "Yeah." "I'll take a chance." "Me too." "28... on the black." "You've got a lot of nerve for a girl." "Thank you." "Shoot the works." "11... on the black." "Gee." "Let's have some more chips, please." "No." "I think you better wait till your luck changes." "All right." "Well, Charlie." "What's the bad news?" "You're out 20,000." "Mmm." "Charge it, please." "Okay." "14... on the red." "Can I get you something to drink?" "Mmm-hmm." "I'd love a glass of milk." "Oh, nothing else?" "Well, thirsty I'm not." "No charge." "I see you don't drink while you gamble." "Never." "Well, I guess you're right, at that." " Oh, Joey." " Yes, sir." "Generally, I'd like a glass of milk and a Swiss cheese on rye from Miss uh?" "I don't know your name." " Bunny." " For Miss Bunny." "And I'll have – and I'll have the same." "Very good, sir." "Bunny is my first name." "That's what my friends call me." "I see." "Well, what's your other name?" "You call me Bunny." "Well, thanks." "Say, Bunny." "I got to admit." "You've got me all hot and bothered." "Really, why?" "Well, I can't figure you out." "You see, you – you lose your money like an old-timer." "But I don't remember seeing you here before." "No." "This is my first night here." "Oh, I thought so." "Well, I suppose you've played abroad more than here." "Oh, uh, oh, much more." "Your order, Mr. Thayer." "Thanks, Joey." "Well, tell me, Bunny." "How did you like Monte Carlo?" "Oh, I was crazy about it." "In fact, it's my favorite picture." "I liked it better than The Lost Parade." "Hey, uh –" "Are you kidding me or what?" "Oh, no." "Uh –" "Oh, you meant that Monte Carlo!" "I'm sorry, but I've never even been to that place." "No, why?" "What was the matter?" "Well, you see, um –" "I was playing with 50 cent chips." "And after I lost, they told me they were worth $100 apiece." "Can you imagine that?" "What do you do about that?" "50 cent chips?" "That is, of course, you mean they were francs." "I don't know what his name was." "All I know is he cost me plenty." "Oh, that was tough, all right." "You hate to get gypped." "No matter how much money you have." "Oh, sure." "It isn't the money." "It's the principle of the thing." "Why, certainly." "After all, what's a thousand, more or less, to a girl like you." "Not a thing." "Why, of course not." "There's a Mr. Mindil to see you." "A friend of mine." "Pardon me, will you?" "Sure." "Thank you very much." "Well." "Well, well, Mr. Mindil." "How are you?" "Bunny, how are you?" "Very good." "So this is the place you're minding, huh?" "Oh, it's beautiful!" "Say, what do you got here?" "A party?" " A party?" " Yes." "Oh, no." "Well, you see, I –" "Darling, darling." "Who is she?" "Olson's girl." "She lives here." "I thought Olson was dead." "No, this is his nephew." "He came into the apartment and the car." "And kicking and all?" "What's her name?" " O'Day." " O'Day?" "Oh, what a crowd." "Say, listen." "That girl is an usherette at the Marathon Theatre." "Probably just a sideline." "She does her real business trading in Swedish sugar." "Well, I'd certainly like to give Mr. Olson a run for his girl." "All right." "I'll stay." "But I don't like it." "I told you." "I don't like gambling." "What's the use of talking?" "I'll stand." "Hey." "You should draw another card." "Pardon me." "I was just thinking out loud." "Excuse me." "Hit me." "Oh, Mr. Hannon." "I hear you're going to fight again." "No." "They wanted me to start for a measly 50 grand." "And 10%." "Can you imagine that?" "Oh, the pikers." " Hello." " Hello." "Did you finish your talk with Mr. Mindil?" "Mmm-hmm." "What do you say to a little talk with me?" "I'd love to." "Oh, Doug." "I'm gonna make a call." "I'll be right back." "That's kind of a lucky number on me." "Hey, you don't push." " He's all right." " He's all right." "Sit down." "Oh, say, by the way..." "Where's Mr. Olson?" "Off on a trip." "Oh." "That's a break." "Cute gadget." "Mmm-hmm." "Well." "Well?" "You're kind of cute yourself." "Oh." "You know what I've decided to do?" "No, what?" "Cut out Mr. Olson." "That wouldn't be hard." "He doesn't mean a thing to me." "Oh, just a convenience, huh?" "That's right." "Well, I'm glad I came." "So am I." "Oh-oh." "Black number." "There again." "Say, don't push me." "He pushed me." "I know but I'll show him something." "Push me, eh?" "Wait a minute." "Why, that's Battling Hannon." "Huh?" "What did you say?" "Who – who – who's talking to you?" "Oh." "Why didn't you tell me who he was before I pushed him?" "How did I know you wanted to push him?" "I didn't know myself." "Comical peoples." "I'm so sorry, Mr. Mindil." "You invite me up here for coffee." "And what do I get?" "You need something to eat." "No." "I wouldn't eat nothing." "Oh." "Not bad." "Are – are you – I wouldn't take nothing here." "Nothing!" "Besides." "The money you get that way won't do you any good." "And anyhow, you ain't got it." "No." "Charlie's got it." "You see, that's gambling." "When you got it, you ain't got it." "Well, I bet I do get it." "Maybe." "How much is the hit, darling?" "Plenty." "Can I see some of it?" "Sure." "Fine." " Count it." "Will you?" " Sure." "You better let me do that." "All right." "I bet – I bet – I bet you thought I was hiding, huh?" "The fellow that sold me that ring was a dirty crook." "Did I say something?" "Some of my best friends are crooks." "Come on." "Get around there." "Come on." "Oh, don't do that." "Don't anybody move for five minutes." "65... 70... 75... 80... 85... 90... 95... 500." "All right, come out." "We'll get going." "As the coast cleared up yet?" "Oh, Mr. Mindil, I'm so sorry this happened." "She's sorry again." "I'm invited here for supper." "And what do I get?" "A gun in my stomach." "I should did lead next." "And my ring." "Well." "It's lucky they didn't get my Rolls." "Oh, I'm glad." "Oh, look." "She's glad." "Tomorrow, don't talk to me." "From now on and henceforward, you ain't working anymore for the Marathon Theatre." "What's moreover, you're fired." "So, he fired you, huh?" "Mmm-hmm." "Well, I wonder why you kept the old job anyway." "Oh, you were?" "Sure." "When I was saying all those things, you must've thought I was a terrible showoff." "You know what I thought?" "I thought you had It" "But now I think you got Dees and Does." "Oh, by the way, here's your money." "I thought maybe you would feel badly about losing it." "May I call you tomorrow?" "Will you?" "Well I!" "Not bad." "Are you figuring the two grand?" "Or did the chain ring fool her?" "Didn't I tell you?" "Happy thought you were holding out on us." "Yeah." "What was the idea?" "I done it for the little woman." "Ah, the way to a gold digger's heart is through her pocketbook." "Isn't that a pretty heavy present?" "Not a present." "Just an investment." "Listen." "Gee, what a day." " Hmm?" " Yes." "Bunny, you're going to save your money, aren't you?" "Oh, sure." "But first, I'm going to buy some clothes." "I gotta look right when I go out with him." "Oh, sure." "Let me see." "I'll have to have some hats." "And a new suit." "And an evening dress, in case he asked me out to dance." "And some clippers." "And stockings." "It's lovely, isn't it?" "The most beautiful thing I've ever seen." "Shall I take it?" "Sure." "Take them all." "There's plenty more where they came from." "Oh, I know." "But I bought so many." "Your banker says it's all right." "Miss, you'll charge it to me." "And send it to Miss Helen O'Day at the Ardmore Arms." "Bunny." "Bunny, slip out of that." "And we'll go some place and have some tea." "All right." "Park Terrain." "Yes, sir." "Good afternoon, Mr. Thayer." "Yes." "Good afternoon, Ambrose." "Good afternoon, sir." "Did you order tea?" "Yes, sir." "What's this?" "My apartment." "Oh." "Make yourself at home." "All right." "Well, everything's all set." " Will you pour?" " Un-huh." "How many?" "What?" "How many?" "Oh." "Oh, let's not bother with tea." "Do you like me?" "Mmm-hmm." "Like me?" "I'm crazy about you." "Something happened to me when I met you." "With me, it happened even before then." "Oh, yeah?" "How you mean?" "Well, you used to come to the theater quite often." "I used to watch you." "I could tell it was you even from the back." "You have a funny way your hair grows." "Oh." "I'll have it cut tomorrow." "I'd know you even then." "Please leave here at once." "No, I can't." "Now will you please leave me alone." "Don't." "Please, get out." "Now, wait a minute." "Say." "Say, what's the idea?" "Please, don't." "Aw, that baby act wouldn't fool a village idiot." "Come on." "Come on." "Let's play ball, huh?" "Please don't." "Leave me alone." "Will you?" "How do you do, sir?" "Would you be interested in Sex Among The Butterflies?" "Or what?" "Aw, but listen." "By the way, Miss O'Day." "Yes?" "A Mr. Thayer is looking for you." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, let him look." "You get out!" "Certainly." "I really wasn't very comfortable back there." "But it was better than the floor." "I won't drive an inch with you in the car." "All right." "We'll talk here." "You get out or I'll call a cop." "Oh." "Oh now, Bunny." "Don't be like that." "I acted pretty rotten the other night." "But I'm sorry." "Yeah, sorry." "Why, you act as if you've ever had a man make love to you before." "Will you get out of this car or shall I?" "Not till we straighten this out." "Aw, now look." "I know you're Olson's girl." "Who said so?" "Well, this is his car, isn't it?" "That's his apartment." "Oh, so that's it." "Sure, that's it." "Well, get this straight." "Olson asked us to mind his place while he was away." "That's all there is between us." "He asked this?" "Sounds funny, I guess." "No, that's not what I mean." "What's funny is that I believe you." "And I'm sorry." "That's all right." "Say, Bunny." "Bunny, let's forget all this." "And start over again, will you?" "What's the use?" "Well, what do you want me to do?" "I'll do anything." "You don't know what I've been through since Saturday." "Aw, Bunny." "Bunny, listen." "I love you." "Oh, no, you don't." "I've got my idea of love." "Oh, what is your idea?" "I don't know." "But if I love somebody, I want to marry them." "Wow!" "It's all right with me." "Will you?" "Oh, Doug." "Hello, you eggs!" "Hello." "Hi, say, how'd you like to go to a wedding?" "Whose?" "Mine!" "Oh, don't look so gaga." "People do it every day." "Who is it?" "Not that little blimp down the hall?" "Say, a little more respect when you're speaking of the future Mrs. Thayer." "If you please." "I'm not kidding you." "I'm a lucky guy to get her." "I've heard that before." "Yeah, not listen." "I mean it." "This is on the level." "It'll do me good to settle down for a while." "Thanks." "Yeah, but why take a life sentence?" "Marriage isn't a life sentence." "Just a short term for good behavior." "When the ball and chain begins to chafe, Houdini." "What do you mean?" "What do I mean?" "They are still handing out divorces, aren't they?" "I think you're crazy." "Oh, am I?" "For 20 bucks for the minister and three for the license," "I move into an $18,000 apartment." "And don't forget the Rolls-Royce." "I'm not." "I'm trading back my bus tomorrow." "Yeah." "Yep." "But what happens while you're away on your honeymoon?" "Don't worry." "All right, boys." "Here's to a short married life." "And a snappy one." "I'm glad it's you." " I, Douglas, take thee, Helen." " I, Douglas, take thee, Helen." " To my wedded wife." " To my wedded wife." " To have and to hold." " To have and to hold." " From this day forward." " From this day forward." " For better, for worse." " For better, for worse." " For richer, for poorer." " For richer, for poorer." " In sickness and in health." " In sickness and in health." " To love and to cherish." " To love and to cherish." " Till death us do part." " Till death us do part." " According to God's holy ordinance." " According to God's holy ordinance." " And thereto, I plight thee my troth." " And thereto, I plight thee my troth." "Loose hands, please." "Will the bride take the groom's hand?" "Repeat after me." " I, Helen, take thee, Douglas." " I, Helen, take thee, Douglas." "To my wedded husband..." "Gee, baby." "You look wonderful tonight." "Well, it's a big day." "Why?" "What day is it?" "You've been married a week." "Oh." "So I got all dolled up to celebrate." "Yeah." "Yeah?" "Oh, excuse me, baby." "This is business." "Certainly, Doug." "Did you break the news to Ducky that you're taking the evening off?" "Yeah, I was just about to." "Well, how about a little speed?" "Well, of course, if they can't get along without me, why –" "Huh?" "Oh, I get you." "Well, give my love to Ducky." "Yeah, yeah." "Sure, sure." "Te." "All right." "Goodbye." "Gee, I'm sorry, baby." "I've got to go downtown to a meeting tonight." "Oh, Doug." "I thought we could go out someplace tonight?" "Well, this is pretty important." "Look." "Look, we'll go out tomorrow night, huh?" "All right." "Listen, sweetheart." "Don't wait up for me tonight, will you?" "It may be a long meeting." "Try and be home early, will you?" "Good night, dear." "Good night." "Why, hello, Bunny." "Your pal." "I hear you married a big swell." "Why didn't you bring him down?" "I will once we get settled down." "I'm – I'm going to give the place a big thrill." "Watch this." "Morning paper!" "Hello, Grace." "Bunny!" "Well, I certainly am glad to see you" "Are you nervous?" "Yeah." "This is very important tonight." "Stop around and see us a while." "While you're off." "Would you like it?" "You bet." "Can I bring my friend?" "How many, mister?" "Two." "Ticket, please." "My good man, are you kidding?" "Why, it's Bunny!" "Mrs. Thayer, I mean." "No." "It's still Bunny." "Well, go right in, Bunny." "Thanks." "Go right in, Mr. Thayer." "I say "go right in, Mr. Thayer."" "Thanks." "Yes, sir." "I shall have to report you to the management." "Bunny!" "Did you come see my new ice?" "No, I came to see you, you big oof." "Gee, I'm glad to see you." "We've been talking about nothing but you and Doug." "Really?" "Well, well, well, well." "Hello." "Oh, does she look beautiful or does she look beautiful?" "I ask you." "I think she's –" "Don't tell me." "I know." "Well." "Where's the husband?" "He's gone to a meeting." "Already?" "Oh, well, well, well." "Well, look, not a bit stuck up." "Didn't I always tell you that time clocks is more than clarinets?" "It's all right." "It's all right." "Oh, pardon me, Mr. Mindil." "Miss Royce would like to see you." "All right." "All right." "Tell her I'll be right back." "That's Betty Royce herself." "No." "And who do you think I have to make a personal appearance." "Nobody else then Maxie Mindil himself." "How would you like to go back and see her, huh?" "Oh I'd love to, Mr. Mindil." "Oh, if I bring you back, she'll be glad to see you." "Come." "I'll see you later, Dodo." "Take the business." "Personal." "Personal." "Personal." "When the management of this great theater asked me to make a personal appearance, I said –" "Not that way, Yvonne." "I said –" "What have I to offer such a distinguished audience?" "They replied –" "My lipstick is on." "They replied –" "We're sure you have a message for the women of America." "Then it occurred to me, I did have a message." "Miss Royce?" "Oh, come in, Maxie." "Hello?" "Next, I wanted you to see how I look." "Look." "She wants me to see how she looks." "How could I tell you how you look, when I'm positively blinded." "Absolutely." "And I want to –" "Oh, pardon me." "I want you to meet a friend of mine." "This is Mrs. Thayer." "How do you do?" "How do you do, Miss Royce?" "Would you believe that she used to usher for me once?" "Really?" "Yes." "And look what she became." "She's married to a millionaire." " Oh." " Ohh." "He's worth his weight in gold fish." "And I thought maybe you could give her a few tips on how to hold a rich man." "You know what I mean." "My dear." "You think I would listen." "The hardest thing is to make the first million." "That also goes for the first millionaire." "Now Bunny, I want you to look good." "Would you believe that this girls got one million dollars worth of diamonds?" "Net." "That necklace." "Look at that." "The king gave her that to match her tiara." "Yeah?" " Isn't that wonderful?" " Oh, it's –" "No, no, no, Maxie." "I bought this with my own money." "Yes." "Well, it's still wonderful." "Oh, pardon me, please." "And look at that ring." "Oh, my, my!" "Look how it dizzles." "Hmm." "It's gorgeous, Miss Royce." "Simply lovely." "I should say it is." "Wouldn't you go out for one like that?" "I didn't get that going out." "No." "She got that staying home." "Max!" "Max, my speech!" "Oh, yes, the speech." "Again." "Pardon me." "Well, darling, you'll excuse me." "Certainly, Mr. Mindil." "And thank you so much, Miss Royce." "Good night." "Good night." "I'll see you outside." "Oh, above all means." "Goodbye." "Are you ready, Max?" "Oh, yes, speech." "Oh." "When the management of this great theater..." "Hey." "Ladies and gentlemen." "When the management of this great theater asked me to make a personal appearance..." "I said to them..." "What have I to offer such a distinguished audience?" "ARGH!" "AEYY!" "What's happened?" "Well, I don't know." "We better get to that switch board right away." "Maybe the fuse blew up." "Yeah?" "Hurry up, men." "There." "That's it." "Whoa." "Oh, my!" "Quick." "Get a doctor!" "Yes, get a doctor." "That's what I say." "Hey, Jim." "Oh, baby." "Where are you, baby?" "Hey, baby, are you there?" "See?" "I was later than I expected to be." "Well, did you miss me?" "What is it?" "Something the matter?" "How was the meeting?" "Oh, terrible." "Just a lot of talk." "Everybody there." "Most of them are still there." "Well, did you stay home tonight?" "No." "I went to the Marathon Theatre." "Gee, baby, you saw me, didn't you?" "Yes, I saw you." "Aw, gee, that's too bad." "Not because you caught me." "But –" "But you spoiled a little surprise I had." "You see, the real reason I lied to you about that meeting was a matter of fact I was just killing time at the theater until I met a man." "At 11." "I bought a little present for you." "Look." "Look, honey." "I meant to put it in a ring." "But here it is." "Oh, Doug." "Gee, I'm sorry my surprise was such a flop." "Please." "Please don't ever stop loving me, Doug." "Because I couldn't stand it." "Oh, you're sweet, kid." "Hey, I didn't know they could make them so sweet." "Gosh I didn't know that anything could make me feel social choked up." "And full of love." "Oh, you sweet baby." "But inspector, the morning editions carried that story." "Well, you can write a new head for it, can't you?" "Well, what about that girl who came into Royce's dressing room?" "She's all right." "They know all about her at the theater." "Still, you better talk to her." "There might be a story in it." "I was afraid you'd think of that." "Say, baby, do you love me?" "Oh, that's good, baby." "You don't know how good it is." "Oh, don't I?" "Hey, sweetheart." "I've got you bad." " What do you want?" "A cigarette?" " Yeah." "I'll get you." "No, no." "I'll get it." "No, I'll get it." "Hey." "It's in the bedroom." "My coat pocket." "All right." "Ow!" "Hey, Doug." "What is it?" "We, gotta blow." " What's the matter, the cops?" " Yeah." "Wait a minute." "She's in here." "All right, boys." "Come on now." "Let me get this straight." "What happened?" "Plenty." "Somebody spotted that squaw of yours in Royce's dressing room the other night." "What?" "Yeah, and they'll be here any minute to give her the works." "So come on." "Oh." "Oh, all right." "I'll meet you at the 125th St. Station in an hour." "We'll catch that express to Montréal." "Say, you're not going to take her?" "No." "No." "I just want to talk to her, that's all." "All right." "Come on." "Let's go." "No, wait a minute." "What do you want to talk to her for?" "She doesn't know nothing, does she?" "No." "I just want to say goodbye." "Listen to this guy." "He's goofy about her." "Well, what of it?" "What of it?" "Why, if you spill anything to her, she'll squawk." "Say, listen." "Will you beat it?" "Come on." "Let's go." "Doug, you sure she's all right?" "Listen, Curly." "Aw, forget it." "Okay, Doug." "Oh, baby." "That bell was for me." "Bad news." "I've got to go out of town for a couple of days." "Say, have you seen my suitcase?" "In there." "Oh." "I'll tell you about it while I pack." "You see, we've been having some trouble with one of our factories." "Oh." "Yeah, one of our factories down south." "Having some trouble with the men." "Well, I've got to go down and straighten it out." "Curly was telling me about it." "That was Curly that just ring the bell." "Who was with him?" "What's that, baby?" "Who was with him?" "Oh." "A couple of pals of Curly's." "They came along to say goodbye." "Curly was a riot." "There was a holdup last night at the Marathon Theatre." "Curly was kidding about it." "Did you hear what he said?" "Some of it." "Oh." "Well." "If anybody wants me, I'll be back in a week." "Goodbye, baby." "Say, what did I do with that stone?" "I want to have it set." "Down south?" "Yes – no." "No, I just want to stop in at a jewelers." "I want you to have a nice setting." "What's wrong with this one?" "All right." "Where's the rest of it?" "I don't know." "I haven't got it." "What's the matter with this door?" "It's locked." "The other one's locked too." "Come on." "Come on, give me the key." "No, I won't." "Listen, baby." "They're going to be here any minute." "Let them come." "But you're gonna be here to give them the stuff." "I can't." "I haven't got it." "And I can't squeal on Curly." "Curly has it?" "No, no." "Gimme that key." "No!" "Come on." "Where is it?" "Please, Doug." "Oh, don't, Doug." "You've got to be here to give them the stuff back." "Doug!" "Doug!" "I'm going with you." "Wait!" "No, baby." "I can't take you." "You can't stop me." "Say, listen." "If they catch you with me, they'll send us both up, you know that?" "Well, we're married, aren't we?" "Yeah?" "Well?" "Say, listen." "Let me tell you something about the guy you're trying to stick to." "When I married you, it was because it was the only way I could get you." "Why, I even said to the other fellows that when I'm tired of you, I'll get a divorce and kick you out." "Goodbye, baby." "Wait." "All I know is what you said when you married me." "Maybe it didn't mean anything to you." "I don't know." "Maybe you were lying all the time." "Maybe last night when you held me close in your arms and told me all those things." "And kissed me." "Maybe you were lying then." "Were you, Doug?" "You know I wasn't, baby." "Oh, well, don't stay here for nostalgia." "Oh, hello." "Hello." "You didn't answer the door." "So I just –" "I was just going to." "Oh." " Did you get my card?" " Card?" "Oh, yes." "Oh." " Well..." " Don't close the door!" "Huh?" "I'm... expecting somebody." "Oh." "Well, did you take care of everything all right?" "Yes, sir." "I'll show it to you." "Come on with me." "You know, about that card." "I kind of expected an answer." "Oh, did you?" "I guess maybe I forgot to put my address on it." "Yes." "Yes, you did." "Gee, everything looks fine." "Un-huh." "You know I hope you enjoy this – this –" "Oh, Doug." "Douglas." "Oh, hello." "Hello." "What's your hurry?" "I wasn't in a hurry." " You're Mrs Thayer, aren't you?" " Say." "Say, who are you?" "I do the asking around here." "Who are you?" "Well, I own this place." " Oh, you do?" " Un-huh." "What's your name?" "Olson." "Yeah?" "What's your other name?" "Ole." "Oh, you're funny, ain't you?" "Where do you live?" "Right here." "I – I just got off my boat." "You just wait a minute." "I'll get around to you." "I want to talk to this lady." "Oh." "I suppose you heard of Betty Royce being held up." "Yes I did." "All, that's all you know about it, eh?" "Yes." "That's all I know." "Where did you get this?" "I don't know." "Never seen it before?" "No, I never did." "You better come along with me." "Why?" "What for?" "Oh, we just want to talk to you." "I didn't do anything." "That's all right." "Now don't get excited." "I didn't take her jewelry." "All right." "Please, I didn't." "Yeah, you better come along too." "You're in on this." "Me?" "Well, you're her husband, ain't you?" "No, I'm not." "I never married her." "You didn't?" "No, sir." "Well, you ought to be ashamed of yourself." "Come on." "Well – just a minute, officer." "I..." "Yeah, just a minute." "It's that lawyer of hers." "Tell him to keep his shirt on." "He says you'll have to wait." "Now how about it?" "Are you going to tell me where he is?" "You understand you'll be held as an accomplice?" "You know you might get 20 years for this if you won't talk." "Well, then I'll tell you something." "We traced the four of them as far as the train to Montréal." "A message from Albany, sir." "Yeah?" "The conductor says they jumped off the train near Poughkeepsie." "Oh." "All right, sister." "We'll get them." "Now look." "You think it over and see whether you want to do 20 years for a guy that walks out and leaves you to take the rap." "Take her away." "Hello?" "It's that lawyer again." "Wait a minute." "Hold the girl here for a minute." "And let the lawyer in." "Maybe he can get her to talk sense." "Can I go now?" "Sure." "Go ahead." "Thank you." "Sorry to have made that mistake, Mr. Olson." "See you again soon." "I don't think so." "Now I'm going to give you one more chance." "I'm going to let your lawyer talk to you." "My name is Richardson." "Of Richardson, Walker and Richardson." "I have been retained by Mr. Thayer." "I know." "I know." "If you know what's good for your client you'll tell her to open up." "Oh, she won't talk, huh?" "Will you mind if I talk to her all alone for a moment?" "Certainly not." "Come on, Max." "Miss O'Day," "I know nothing about your case." " Are you crazy?" " Maybe." "But if you'll just tell me the truth –" "Oh, please, go away before they recognize you." "And let you take the rap for me?" "– I think I'll be able to help you." "They won't do anything to me." "I know they won't because I won't let them." "Now you just leave this to me." "Now just how much bail do you require?" "Bail?" "Now don't be funny." "The only bail that would get her out of here would be Betty Royce's diamonds." "Well." "Well, is that all?" "Say." "Where did you get those?" "Well, mostly from around Miss Royce's neck." "Oh, Doug, don't." "It's all right, baby." "The uh – the name is Thayer." "Remember what Shakespeare said." "You can fool some of the people some of the time." "You're ten minutes late." "And don't tell me the alarm clock didn't work." "Or I'll report you to the owner of this theater." "There he is now." "Good morning." " Good morning, Mr. Olson." " Good morning, Mr. Olson." "Yes." "Uh, Mrs. Thayer, could I see you out front?" "Certainly." "Thank you." "To your places, march." "Yes, Mr. Olson." "Oh, I forgot to tell you." "There was post card for you on your desk when I took the box office report home last Saturday." "And I'm afraid I picked it up with the report and lost it." "Oh, that's all?" "It's probably just an ad." "I don't think so." "It was from Sing Sing." "And it looked like Mr. Thayer's writing." "Oh." "I'm awfully sorry." "I've been looking for it all week." "And I just can't understand what I did with it." "I asked the little wife." "And she said she hadn't seen it anywhere." "Gee." "It's about him." "Yeah." "Well, what's happened?" "What's the matter with him?" "Why, didn't you hear?" "No." "Oh, here it is!" "He says he's been paroled for good behavior." "And that he'll be home Wednesday." "What?" "Oh, Doug." "Doug." "Oh, baby." "This must be Wednesday."
