asking me to hold it. -Who?

Palm Mennen.

Oh.

You know what that means, don't

you, honey? It means we get it!

- Well, you can't be sure. -What

would they be calling up here for?

You know what we'll do, honey?

We'll have that honeymoon

we didn't have.

Havana! We'll go to Havana. Shh!

Yes?

What?

Who?

Yes, I know that.

Well, I can't do that.

What I want to know is,

who's handling the account?

Oh.

What's happened?

They, uh...

They want me to give them the name

and telephone number of the...

...artist who did the drawings.

Don!

Ellison has the account. They, um...

They just want your drawings.

Well, they won't get

them. Not without you.

Yeah, but I'm out,

Helen. I'm out.

Then I'm out.

No, don't do that.

Be sensible about it.

You might as well save

what you can out of it.

Well, it makes me mad. You can

handle it every bit as well as Ellison.

Just because somebody's big.

Whatever that means.

Aw, darling.

Don. Let's go somewhere. Let's get

all dolled up and go somewhere.

- What's the matter with you? -I feel

young and giddy and gay. Ha! At my age.

I'm going to bed.

- You poor darling.

- Cut that.

Let's go.

Where?

Havana.

Are you crazy? We've lost the Palm

Mennen account, we haven't gotten it.

That's just why. We're sunk

with worrying about it.

Let's go somewhere, and not tell anybody

where, and have a real honeymoon.

And then come back and get

to work. And that'll be fun.

The way it is now, nothing's fun.

- And what'll we use for money?

- Oh, it isn't as bad as all that.

And the business?

Who's going to run that?

Nothing very terrible can happen

in 10 days. It'll go on.

Aw, Don. Please, let's

go. We're both fed up.

I'd like to go...

We'll go.

But I haven't a thing to wear.

Silencio! Atencion, caballeros...

[More Spanish. ]

- What do you call this game again?

- Jai alai. It's like handball.

Jai alai...

[More Spanish. ]

Hey!

See that the lady wins.

- Hello, Joe. -Hello, Mr. Peterson

... and missus. -Hello, mister.

How is everything? Landed

any new accounts for me?

Say, what's the matter around here?

Something's wrong.

Oh, everything's alright, Mr. Peterson.

Oh, why not break it to him?

I say when it's serious, operate.

- What do you mean? Well, we lost the

Fletcher Bathroom Equipment account.

Maybe only temporarily.

Well, what went wrong? All the

copy was laid out and ready.

Well, you see, Mr. Peterson,

it was like this:

Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Simon Fletcher,

the president, didn't like the copy.

And he wanted you to change it?

And you weren't here to change it.

He knows he wasn't here.

- So he came in the office and made a

big fuss about it. -Let's get inside.
