The wolf is at the door,

and the handwriting is on the wall.

- Pop's always been regular with us.

- He sure has.

So what does

it get him?

A shady nook behind

the eight ball.

We gotta go out and hock

everything we own.

Jewelry, trunks, instruments,

props, everything.

We've got our sorority pins.

Get all the dough you can

and give it to Pop.

If it wasn't for Pop, we'd all

have barnacles on our hips...

from sleeping on park benches.

And that's what'll happen if

that old battle-ax next door...

puts him out of the hotel.

It's up to us

to raise some dough.

Jimmy,

here's my watch.

What about that

stickpin?

Oh-Oh, wait, wait!

You're choking me!

My goodness,

don't pull it so hard.

- I'll give it to you.

- [ Laughing ]

- Yes?

- May I see Miss Sarah Wendling, please?

- She's not at home.

- When will she be back?

I don't know.

[ Vehicle Approaching ]

[ Tires screeching ]

If you're lookin' for Miss Wendling,

she isn't home.

- Is that so?

- I'm waiting for her too.

- You are?

- Oh, yes, on important business.

Well, uh, maybe if it's very important,

I might put in a good word for you.

- Do you know Miss Wendling?

- Oh, yes, very well.

- She's my aunt.

- She is? Well, say...

would you please give her this...

and tell her it's on account

for the rent of the hotel?

[ Rattles ]

- The hotel? What hotel?

- Next door.

And will you please ask her

to wait until Pop can pay her the rest?

Well, uh-- uh, whom shall I say

this is from?

Betsy. No, from Pop--

Mr. Shea.

[ Chuckles ] Well, maybe it'd be

a better idea...

if you came inside

and told her yourself.

But she's not in.

He said so.

Oh, he did?

I have an idea he's been

imagining things.

- Miss Wendling is in, isn't she, Simmons?

- She's in the library, sir.

Oh!

Oh.

[ Gasps ] Stand in the corner.

Go on. Hide your face.

You big fibber!

That'll be all,

Simmons.

Why, if anyone did a thing

like that at the orphanage...

they'd have to stand

in the corner for an hour.

At the orphanage?

Mm-hmm. I used to be an orphan

before Pop adopted me.

Well, now that's a coincidence.

You know, I used to be an orphan myself.

Too bad we weren't orphans

at the same time.

- We could've had lots of fun together.

- [ Laughs ] I'll bet we could.

- Will you excuse me a minute?

- Mm-hmm.

? [ Music Box Plays ]

Say, that's cute.

Where'd you learn that?

-Jimmy and the Bandits.

- The what?

- The jazz band.

- Oh. Look at this.

That's good too.

Where'd you learn that?

At Harvard. You've heard

of the Hasty Pudding club?

Mm-mmm. But I'll bet

it tastes good.

- We dancers have got to stick together.

- Absolutely.

? We should be together ?

? Like the walls
