under my warm, white gown.

Who loves to come with me

under my warm, white gown ?

Come, harpies and magpies...

under my warm, white gown.

Glad it was satisfactory, Mr A.

However, it is too soon

to estimate results of treatment.

Fee ? Whatever you care to give.

$50 ? More than generous.

Yes, delighted to sign a receipt

for the transaction.

No, can't say if it's deductible from income tax.

Yes, any time at all, drop in.

No, will not mention a word of this to your wife.

Thank you.

Next. Come in.

Case number two.

I wonder why she's consulting you.

She seems a healthy, well-balanced girl.

What kind of dream does she want ?

She doesn't want a dream.

She wants him to sign up.

Sign up ? For what ?

It doesn't matter for what.

As long as he signs something.

Here. League for the Clarification

of International Timetables.

20th Century Thursday Afternoon club.

League for Cleaner Features.

Council to Perpetuate Citizens in Public Life.

League to Discourage Citizens in Public Life.

Action Committee for the Abolition of Abolition.

Pro-rata Partisans for the Extenuation

of the Democratic Dilemma.

The Daughters of American Grandfathers.

The Little Friends of Tenth Street.

The Louisa M Alcott Chapter

of the Cheese-Finders Union. Take your choice.

Hold on, Joe.

You don't want to sign up with anything.

He doesn't understand.

He has to belong to something.

Otherwise, how will he ever know who he is ?

Sorry, lady. Some other day.

He can't do this to you, dear.

Doesn't he realise you like to sign people up ?

It's your aim in life. Your duty.

It's how you maintain your self-respect.

It's also how you make a living.

Convince him somehow. It's important.

Be careful, Joe.

She's charming but she'll stop at nothing.

Before you know it, she'll start crying.

See ? You're in for it now.

Poor kid. She's high-strung.

Go on, Joe, do something.

Your professional reputation's at stake.

Hm. It's certainly an unusual case.

Organisational neurosis.

If you could only look deeper

into those eyes of hers...

T ry it.

No ? The tears are throwing everything

out of focus.

On your guard, my dear.

This man has mistaken your motives

completely.

Exactly the way most of his kind do.

Frankly, I believe him to be unreclaimable.

You're wasting your time.

Should you give up so easily ?

It might indicate lack of discipline.

Dream detective ? Perhaps he likes being that.

It's his aim in life.

It's how he maintains his self-respect.

It's also how he makes a living.

Reconsider, my dear.

Not one look, however, before he signs up.

That's final. It's a matter of principle.

All right, Joe. Sign.

Sign every dotted line.
