- don't care.

I wouldn't mind marrying

a Vanderbilt.

Or a Mr. Cadillac.

No such person. I checked.

Is there a Mr. Texaco?

No. But how about one

of those rich maharajas?

How about three of them?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had three

of them for dinner and they married us?

Think of all those

diamonds and rubies.

And all those crazy elephants.

This is really living it up, isn't it?

People that live any other way

are just crazy.

I wonder who's going to pay for it.

- Yeah, how about that?

- Well, I'll tell you.

I knew it couldn't last.

Relax, will you? And somebody

break open that other bottle.

Good afternoon. I'm Mr. Bennett

of the Bennett Music Company.

- Are you the lady...

- That's right. Come right in.

Thank you.

The reason I called you is,

what will you give me

for this piano, cash?

Well,

it's a very handsome instrument.

Really, Pola, I think she's the most

intelligent person I guess I ever met.

Well, it's not in first-class condition,

you understand,

but, uh, we might be interested

in paying you, say 2,500?

We'll take it.

Well, kids,

where will we eat tonight,

the Stork or 21?

Hello?

Is this Trafalgar 7-5098?

- Yes?

- Who's this, Miss Page?

- Yes, who is this?

- This is Tom Brookman.

- Oh.

- You remember me.

- Oh, sure, but...

- Well, I kept thinking about you,

but I didn't realize who you were till I

picked up an old magazine this morning.

- What do you mean?

- You were Miss Steinbach Beer last year.

Why, yes, I believe I was.

And isn't that you jumping around in

a girdle in all those ads in magazines?

I wouldn't exactly call it "jumping around."

I'm supposed to be dancing.

Reason I called, I was wondering if you

wouldn't have dinner with me some night.

Whatever night you say.

What about tonight?

- 'm afraid I can't tonight.

- Tomorrow night?

- 'm sorry.

- What about Thursday night?

Mr. Brookman, you're wasting your time

on this number. Don't call it again.

Hey, kid!

- Pola?

- Yes?

Do you think we'll ever be able

to get this job off the ground?

- What do you mean?

- Here we are nearly three months,

and we can't even get ourselves

engaged, much less married.

- could have got engaged last week.

- To?

- That English fellow.

- What English fellow?

You know, that tall one that

borrowed five dollars from me.

That's what I mean. Here we are

set up strictly for the carriage train,

and what do we get, you hook a schnook

who takes you for a fin,

I get an invitation

to Hamburger Heaven for dinner,

and Loco shows up every evening with

a gentleman she's met in the drugstore,

with five more shower caps

and three quarts of aspirin tablets.

And where do you think
