Hello Frisco, Hello Page #2

- Did you hit it?

- There's millions there.

Why, there's so much gold

you can shovel it up like coal in a bin.

I knew something would turn up.

Did you hear that? Sam hit it.

And you were worrying about us getting kicked

out of Sharkey's. Why don't you grow up?

Well, Johnny, I was just trying to tell you

about a new lead I got up in Sonora.

But this time I can't miss!

All I need is another little grubstake.

- Oh.

- Well, Johnny, it's an investment.

Safe as Ralston's bank.

- But it's after banking hours.

- Uh, thank you, Johnny. You'll never be sorry.

Why, one of these days we'll be riding

down Market Street in our own carriages...

with harness buckles

made of solid gold!

So long, Johnny. God bless you, my boy.

God bless you.

Bighearted John. We ain't got a job...

don't know where

the next one's coming from.

I know where my next one's coming from.

I'm going right back to my own little single.

Oh, don't talk like that, Beulah.

We have to stick together.

Johnny'll get us another booking.

Sure, he'll get us another booking.

And then what happens?

He's gotta try out a new act, and boom,

we're out in the alley again.

Well, that's the only way

we'll ever get anywhere.

Mr. Cornell, I wish to wish you

all the luck in the world.

But you can include me out.

I am through.

Listen. That goes for me too.

When I'm walking around, I want my

stomach smiling. I want soles on my shoes.

- Break up the act- is that what you want?

- No, they don't.

Never mind, Trudy.

If they want to quit, let 'em.

- I never begged anybody to stick with me if they didn't want to.

- They didn't mean it.

Gee, you were happy to be with him

when everything was going all right.

- But as soon as we hit thebumps,

you talk about walking out.

# Some other to win #

# Fight manfully onward ##

Why, Johnny's smarter

than Sharkey or any of'em.

And someday he'll be right up on top,

and he'll take us along with him.

This is no time to throw cold water on him.

He needs us as much as we need him.

What we ought to do now is

give him a pat on the back.

That's all you've been doing is

giving him a pat on the back.

- What do you get from him? The cold shoulder.

- No, it isn't.

I understand Johnny. He's trying to get

ahead. He has his mind on other things.

That's right. It sure isn't on you.

If he didn't need you for his act...

you may as well be

painted on the backdrop.

Honey, she's absolutely right.

You don't need the guy.

You can get your old job back

at the Tivoli in a minute.

Well, I don't want it. I'd rather stick

with him. And you two are all wrong.

It isn't me. It's Johnny's showmanship

that puts us over.

And if I'm willing and satisfied
