So get out there

and get dressed.

Is that so?

Well, I ain't going out there.

I'm quitting. Right now,

this minute, see?

This turkey can fold, for all I care.

Hey, maybe you can get that

old hag to go on in my place.

Oh, she ought to kill them with her

corny wig and her bones cracking.

Oh, Mae.

Joe, I'm sorry.

Forget it.

Bubbles just walked out.

Walked out?

Yeah, quit.

Gee, that's tough.

I want you to go on and do her number.

Me?

Sure.

You can still go out there and knock

the customers cold like you used to.

That was years ago, Joe.

Let's face it...

Yeah, and leave us face it, Mae.

The show must go on, remember?

Okay. It'll go on.

Attagirl.

Use Bubbles' dressing room.

The costumes

are all in there.

What did Joe want?

Peggy, you're going on

in Bubbles' spot.

What? What happened?

Bubbles just walked out.

But, Mother...

Baby, you know

the number backwards.

I'll have the orchestra change the key,

and you can use Bubbles' dressing room.

# Anyone can see I love you #

# Anyone can see I care #

# The way I hold your hand

And smile in your direction #

# Tells the world my heart is filled

With nothing but affection #

# Lock me in your arms for ever #

# That's the place I want to be #

# So anyone can see

That I belong to you #

# And you belong to me #

That's class.

Bubbles never

did it like that.

That's too good

for this turkey.

You put one

over on me, Mae.

Aren't you glad?

Yes, I am.

And the kid stays

in that spot.

Thanks, Joe.

# Lock me in your arms for ever #

# That's the place I want to be #

# So anyone can see

That I belong to you #

# And you belong to me ##

Well, where are we taking my

Cleveland cousin tonight, Pete?

It's all set. We're

going to see Peggy Martin.

Excellent.

Who's Peggy Martin?

The new darling of burlesque.

Burlesque?

Yeah. Have you

ever seen one?

I can't say I have.

Oh, you haven't lived.

Oh, well. Well, let's live.

Boy, Randy, we're going

to get you initiated.

How about it, Pete?

You remember the way?

Do I remember the way?

Boy, I ought to.

I get my mail there.

# It was cold outside of Tiffany's #

# I was shivering in the storm #

# I walked in and asked a gentleman #

# "Could I please keep warm?" #

# He asked me,

"How come a baby doll #

# "Has no comfy place to go?" #

# So I told that kindly gentleman #

# My tale of woe #

# Every baby needs a da-da-daddy #

# To keep her worry-free #

# Every baby needs a da-da-daddy #

# But where's the one for me? #

# Rich or poor

I don't care who #

# If he hasn't got a million

Then a half will do #

# Every baby needs a da-da-daddy #

# Could my da-daddy be you? #

She's lovely, isn't she?

Don't get any ideas.
