In the Good Old Summertime Page #2

but you, Professor...

Hickey!

Yes, Uncle... Mr. Oberkugen?

Miss Burke, please.

No.

Mr. Hansen!

- Yes, sir?

- Look at this, please.

What do you think of it?

Mr. Larkin doesn't happen to like it. I do.

But don't let me influence you.

I just want your honest opinion.

That's all I want, your honest opinion.

I think it's just wonderful.

- Have you changed your mind?

- No, I still say they're not for us.

I agree with Andy.

Thank you. That's all.

Now we're in for it.

This was his way of soothing himself

when things went wrong.

But he was the only one who was soothed.

Hickey knew the way to hold his job.

Good morning, madam.

May I help you? Hello, Miss...

- Fisher.

- Miss Fisher, yeah.

Looks like I ran up quite a bill, doesn't it?

- How much do I owe you?

- I couldn't accept anything from you.

- Really, you must.

- No, I couldn't. Really. That's definite.

- My goodness.

- This is a nice store you have.

- Thank you. We like it.

- It's got lovely things.

Maybe you'd let me buy you something.

Is there anything here you'd like?

- As a matter of fact, there is.

- Fine.

No. A harmonica?

No? How about a little piano?

- Music box?

- No, I want a job.

Sorry, I sold the last one yesterday.

See here, this is no joking matter.

That's why I was so furious

when you bumped into me.

I was all dressed up ready to go out

and look for a job when...

I'm sorry. We couldn't take

anyone else on now. It's the dull season.

You haven't even heard my qualifications.

I worked at Roberts Brothers,

and I worked at Gregory Music Store.

They liked me very much there.

They all said they'd be very happy

to have me back.

Why don't you make them happy?

Because it's the dull season.

I'm sorry. I couldn't take anyone else on.

Good day.

Just a minute.

- Do you own this store?

- No, but I...

Then I'd like to see the owner.

I wouldn't advise it.

He's in a very bad mood.

- I insist upon seeing the owner.

- I've been here for a number of years now.

I know him inside and out.

I know what his attitude would be.

I can tell you word for word

eXactly what he'd say.

I'll be...

- Mr. Larkin, just a moment, please.

- Excuse me, please.

- Excuse me, madam.

- Surely.

Come here. So you know all about me.

You know eXactly what I think

even before I think of it.

You are not only a business genius,

you are a mind reader.

- I wouldn't...

- Never mind.

Good morning.

- I'm Mr. Oberkugen.

- How do you do?

- How do you do? Please have a seat.

- Thank you.

I don't know what the difficulty is...

but at Oberkugen's,

there's no such word as impossible.

What is it that you desire?

You see, I was at Gregory Brothers...

I assure you,
