Feet First Page #2

Never, I guess.

She's rich, got a big car.

Besides, what chance have I

with eighteen a week?

You'll soon be making

more money than that.

You're going to be a salesman

in a very little while.

Yeah.

A salesman.

A lot of good that'll do.

You know, Mr. Carson...

...up till today, I thought being

a salesman was something great.

Gee, a girl that comes

from a family like that, why...

...she wouldn't give a salesman

a second look.

Oh, but you are not

always going to be a salesman.

Keep driving on,

and then perhaps...

...you will come to be

manager of the store.

Who knows?

In a very little while...

...you may be

president of the company.

Gee.

Oh, but that's liable

to take two or three months.

There's got to be

a shortcut somewhere.

Now, then, if I could only

meet her on her own level.

Hmm.

And I'm going to do it, too.

Stick to it, my son.

That's it... Sticking.

That's the only way.

I wish only I had stuck.

Sticking to it, huh?

And now, gentlemen, we come

to the subject of leather.

Very few people realize

what leather really is...

...and what it means to mankind.

Where would we be

without leather?

I ask you.

It's leather that turns

the wheels of our industries!

It's leather

in the time of war...

...furnishes our horses with

harness to pull the cannons...

...to conquer our enemies!

And then, where would

Napoleon have been...

...without leather

to make a saddle?

He'd have been riding bareback!

And then think!

Think of shoes!

Without them,

we would be uncivilized.

Barefoot like tea garoni.

Could we walk through

snow and slush barefoot?

Could we walk

through the desert barefoot?

No! A thousand times no!

Fine.

That's the way

you should've talked...

...at the American Club

two months ago.

Huh.

That was splendid.

Yes, I... I know, Mr. Carson,

it's... it's all right.

I can do it here in the room...

...but, I don't know, when I get

out with important people...

...gee, I... I... I get

all goose pimples.

Gee, I open my mouth,

and nothing comes out.

Oh, well, I guess

you didn't want the girl...

...as much as you thought you did.

Oh, yes, but I do!

Now you listen to me!

You go to the Embassy Club

tonight and speak right up!

When you meet

those big businessmen...

...use your correspondence courses!

Impress them!

You look the part. Act it!

Sell yourself!

I'll do it! I will!

Now, nothing's gonna stop me

this time!

I hope that's a mistake.

That's a very unfriendly knock.

Shh.

It's Ferguson,

the dress suit man.

I think he's after payment

on his suit.

Oh.

Gee, if I pay him now, I won't

have any money for tonight.

Shh!

Now what am I gonna do?

Out the window,

down the fire escape.
