It says, ""Dear Miss Glenn,

please see page 98.""

Look for me, will you, Uncle Hoby?.

""The Making of a New Tycoon.

Five years ago,

Robert G. Delbar had a pygmy business.""

Pygmy business?. Why, I didn`t know

they ever sold them.

Shh, shh.

""Today, he has an industrial giant.

The rapid growth of the Delbar Corporation

which manufactures products...

...made of the new plastic material,

Praktikon...

...is due chiefly to the shrewdness

and super-salesmanship...

...of its young president,

Bob Delbar.""

Yes, that`s right, Miss MacKenzie.

I want flowers sent to her everyday.

Lots of flowers.

And, uh, you`d better cancel

all my other social engagements...

...and, uh, make out a list of places

to take her to.

I see, Mr. Delbar.

This is to be an all-out sales campaign.

Precisely. Where`d be a good place

to take her to today?.

Well, how about the races?.

-Come on, Papoose.

-I bet on Whirlabout.

Come on, come on, Papoose.

Come on.

Yes?.

MACKENZlE [OVER lNTERCOM] : Take her

to the Ice Follies. I have four tickets.

-Why four?.

-It will help if you sell yourself to her family.

Oh, yes.

-Hoby?.

-Huh?.

When we get home,

remind me to defrost the icebox.

Mm-hm.

[BAND PLAYlNG SWlNG MUSlC]

-Didn`t your uncle ever do any work?.

-No, he doesn`t believe in it.

-So?.

-Hm. But he`s happy and so is Aunt Nona.

-Are you?.

-Hmm. Yes, I am.

We lead a very pleasant life.

Auntie and Uncle have an income

and it`s enough for them to live on.

I know. It`s 300 a month and they pay

their bills when they remember to...

...so their credit is good.

I know all about you too.

You were born here in Los Angeles.

Your father was a doctor.

Your parents died when you were 7.

You attended high school

and the university.

You got fairly good marks.

You were popular.

-How do you know so much about me?.

-I made it my business to find out.

And....

Everything I found out about you,

Cynthia, I like.

-Thank you.

-Excuse me, Mr. Delbar.

-Well, there`s J.P. Bancroft.

-Really?.

Will you excuse me?.

-Well, hello, Bob.

-Hello, J.P.

Mr. Carker, gas and oil.

Mr. Delbar, Praktikon.

[lN UNlSON] :

l`ve heard of you.

-Ha-ha-ha. Sit down. Sit down.

-Thank you.

When can you and I get together,

tomorrow?.

No. I`m afraid not.

I`m flying back East

first thing in the morning.

There`s nothing we can do

until we`ve had a meeting...

-...with that fellow in Washington.

-When will that be?.

Well, as soon as l`ve arranged an interview,

l`ll let you know. And you`d better be there.

Don`t worry, l`ll be there.

Nothing could stop me.

-Well, very pretty.

-I think so.

-See you in Washington. Goodbye, J.P.

-Goodbye, Bob.

Nice to have met you, Mr. Carker.
