for Miss Foster.

He says it's very urgent.

Matter of life or death, no doubt.

Dinner's ready whenever you are.

Why can't we have a butler

like the Pringles do?

Why can't we be civilized?

One more word about the Pringles

or the oxblood nail polish...

...or the long eyelashes and I'm

going to forget that I'm civilized.

- Oh, Father.

- Oh, brother.

Oh, Jameson.

Yes, Jameson? I'll wait.

- Miss Foster on the phone.

- Thank you, Jameson.

Judy, dear,

I thought you'd like to know...

...that Xavier Cugat accepted my

invitation to the dance tonight.

He seemed very pleased when I told him

that he'd be guest of honor.

Oh, now, Judy, as for your dress

for tonight, what are you wearing?

You have a new dress?

It's blue?

Judy, dear, don't you think

your pink would be more appropriate?

Your complexion really calls for pink.

It brings out the freshness

and charm of your youth.

That's fine.

I knew you would agree with me.

Au revoir for now.

Miss, your father called to say

he'll not be home for dinner.

Thank you.

A very smart man.

Ogden, I think it's up to you

to find Father and talk to him.

I don't think he'd remember me.

Tell him it would be a good strategic move

for him to come to the dance.

It'd promote goodwill

with his depositors.

Now, how am I gonna find Father,

eat dinner...

...and pick up Judy

all in time for the dance?

Simple, Ogden, you don't eat.

Don't eat?

Lturbi never eats before a concert.

I'm not Iturbi. I'm Oogie, remember?

And besides, what about Judy?

I gotta pick her up.

Ogden, it's a fundamental law

of human nature...

...that women are always

more attracted to men who ignore them.

I don't think Judy knows that law.

Well, of course she doesn't.

You spoil her.

- You shouldn't do that.

- I shouldn't?

And you should never have

given her an orchid.

Now she'll expect one every week.

- She will?

- Naturally.

You've set a very high standard.

It's hard to live up to it.

Well, golly, Carol, what am I gonna do?

Don't let her know you're so interested.

Take tonight, for instance.

Let somebody else call for her.

Be indifferent.

Do you really think so, Carol?

Of course.

I'll arrange for someone to call for her.

Then, when she sees you again...

...she'll be so relieved,

she'll probably fall right in your arms.

Hm.

She's never done that before.

How do I look?

You look lovely, dear.

But what about the new dress?

Yeah, the one that was so vital.

Oh, blue does nothing for me.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

For the last six weeks, I've heard nothing

but how important it was...

...that you should have a new dress

for this dance tonight.

Now that you have it,

you're not going to wear it.
