Born Yesterday Page #3

that you've come to find out about...

- So far I've been nice. Don't pump me.

- How is it going?

How are you getting on

with King Junk?

Great. Found out he was born

in Plainfield, New Jersey.

- He sure is a tough man to dig.

- I can't believe it. He loves to talk.

Oh, Billie. This is my friend

Paul Verrall. Billie Dawn.

How do you do?

- Wait a minute.

- What's the matter?

Where do you think you're goin'

with that? Put it back.

- I just wanted to...

- I know what you wanted. Put it back.

- Why can't I...

- Because I say you can't.

We got somebody important comin'.

I don't want you stinkin'.

- Can't I just...

- Go change, and don't give me trouble.

Do what I'm tellin' ya!

Barber, what will you take

to cut his throat?

- Some jokes I don't like.

- Don't get excited.

Don't tell me what to do.

Just a joke, Harry.

- That's all.

- I'm not quite finished.

I said beat it.

You too.

- I guess I'll be going too.

- No, don't go. Stick around.

- You're the only friend I got left.

- I live just around the corner.

If anyone starts beating you,

just scream and I'll come running.

- Bye, Jim. Thanks.

- Good-bye.

I need Billie's signature

on a few things.

Sure. Billie!

You sore?

Not sore, Harry.

You look funny.

I know.

Don't you feel good?

You want an aspirin?

No, no, I'm fine.

In fact, considering I've been dead

for 16 years, I'm in remarkable health.

What?

Come over here right away!

Hey, would you please fix

this safety catch?

He's sure got good lungs.

Yeah. Thanks.

There's a shortcut through the service.

This way.

Oh.

- That's the door down there, honey.

- Thanks, honey.

Sometime I don't

understand you at all.

Sometime?

- What do you want?

- Jim.

A few things

I want you to sign, honey.

That's all I do around here

is sign.

Too bad about you.

- What time is this congressman comin'?

- Any time now.

I'd better get fixed up.

She look all right to you?

- Look who's talkin'.

- Tell me if somethin's wrong.

I don't wanna start off

on no left foot.

What got into him?

Nothing.

Just wants to make a good impression.

So let him.

Two places on this one, please.

What happened to all that stuff

I signed last week?

All used up.

I bet I must've signed

about a million of these.

That's what you get for being

a multiple corporate officer.

I am?

What do you know?

You've come a long way

from the chorus, all right.

I wasn't only in the chorus.

I spoke lines.

- Really?

- Of course.

- How many?

- How many what?

Lines did you speak?

Five.

- I never knew that.

- Ask anybody.

I believe you.

I coulda been a star, probably,

if Id have stuck to it.

Why didn't you?
