---

Thanks for everything.

Oh, Mr. Casey!

I understand about the cape.

No hard feelings. Shake?

Oh, well, that's big of you, Pearl.

Oh, you knew the cutest little

Japanese banker.

Come on! Drive like the wind!

Come and get it!

Hey, King! Wake up!

Nice black coffee for that nice

black hangover.

Oh, Johnny. Johnny.

Don't, don't, Johnny.

Oh, I think I swallowed a cactus

last night.

Here, drown it with this.

Quit pushing, will you?

It's those little men again.

Here, I'll handle the cup, Johnny.

- Sure you got everything you need?

- Everything except my health.

Hey, where are you going?

Matthews and Casey have a new show.

I just thought I'd drop by.

I'll save you a trip.

Nothing's there.

- How do you know?

- Never has been. There never is.

- There never will be. Amen.

- Yeah?

Listen to this:

"Turner and Farrell got a specialty

spot in the new Cole Porter show.

What's more, they worked it up

to three and a half minutes."

Yeah? Well, Turner must be

the manager's uncle...

...and Farrell must know where

the body's hidden.

Well, maybe I can find a body.

So long.

Hey, Johnny.

When you come back,

do me a favor, huh? Don't stamp.

- I'm in a very delicate condition.

- Sure.

Speak.

Is this King Shaw? This is Casey

and Matthews of Matthews and Casey.

Oh, yeah? Well, this is

Shaw and Brett of Brett and Shaw.

Say, quit kidding me, will you, Johnny?

Hey, as long as you're still downstairs,

send up a pack of cigarettes, huh?

What are you talking about?

You've got the wrong number!

I mean, this is Casey and Matthews.

Are you King Shaw?

Matthews and Casey? Oh, gosh!

I'm sorry! Yes, sir. I'll be right over.

And ask for Mr. Matthews.

That's my junior partner. Yeah.

- How did the cape gag work last night?

- What do you mean, gag?

I always tell them I'm going to

take the cape back.

After they wasted an evening with you.

You wear out 50 blonds to one cape.

- Do you think it needs a new lining?

- You both do.

Why don't you ever take me out?

Maybe you haven't looked at me.

I'm blond.

Well, the cape wouldn't fit you.

Well, if you took me out to supper

a lot, I could grow into it.

Well... No, I don't think

you'd look well in it.

I'd look better in it

than you do with it.

Well, that's beside the... Here.

That's all. We'll...

There's a lady in the reception room

waiting to see you.

Oh, really? What's she like?

I mean, who is she?

- Pearl Delange.

- Well, ask her to... Pearl Delange!

And is she sizzling! I think she's out

trapping ermine. I'll bring her in.

No, you'll do nothing of the sort, Amy!

Tell her I can't see her.

I can't see anybody!

I'm busy!

Tell Mr. Matthews that

I've gone to the Pelham Golf Club.
