Employees' Entrance Page #2

That'll be all right.

That'll cover us, and then

we can say we've sold out.

All right. Take what

he can give you tomorrow

And cancel the rest of the order.

Cancel? Why

- Why, you can't do that.

Why, all my capital, everything

is tied up in that order.

5,000 coats.

I've got $30,000 invested.

That's all the money

I've got in the world.

Cancel the order, and we'll sue him

For the cost of the advertising

And for the estimated loss on the sale.

All right, Mr. Anderson.

Mr. Anderson, I

- I'm telling you,

I'm a ruined man if you do this.

I shouldn't have undertaken this order,

But I did it for you...

for the big Monroe department store

At a price where I made no profit.

I did it because I thought,

if I get your order once,

Big things might come from it.

Now if you cancel the order,

Even if you don't sue me, I'm ruined.

It's like if you were

threatening to kill me.

Here. Send these back. What's the

report on the men's underwear sale?

618 sales at 1:
00.

Keep me posted.

Don't you hear me, mister? It's my life!

Yes, I hear you. Merchandise

is the life of this store.

When you promise to deliver

On a certain day and don't

do it, you threaten our life.

But it only happened once.

It can't happen again.

It can't happen once!

Now, get out of here.

Yes?

The men's lavatory on the fourth

floor is out of order again.

Take a note to the head

of the repair department.

Fix men's lavatory on the

fourth floor or be fired.

I won't need my car till 7:30

or so. Tell my chauffeur to wait.

Where can I find you, please?

I'm going to inspect the

fifth and sixth floors.

Well, who are you?

Don't you know better

Than to break into a lady's

house without knocking?

Oh, you're the lady

of the house, are you?

Mm-Hmm. Besides, how did you know?

I might have been taking

a bath or something.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm only the landlord.

You haven't paid your

rent this month, lady.

I know I haven't, but

you wouldn't throw me out

On a stormy night like this,

Would you, mister?

Aw, come on. I was just

going to have a bite to eat.

Would you like to join me? Come on.

Oh, just look at that. A

lovely papier-mch chicken.

Mmm. I'll bet that's good.

How would you like a wax banana?

I'd love it.

Or perhaps I could make

you a sandwich. Mmm.

Oh, fresh, too.

And look. There's some nice

fake milk. Just what we need.

I'm sorry I can't offer

you anything better, mister.

You work here, don't you?

Yes, I work here.

You're lucky. I've been trying

to get a job here myself.

Tell me, is it a tough place to work in?

Oh, not so bad.

By the way, what are you doing here?

Don't you know it's after closing time?
