Lover Come Back Page #3

has been in the best interest

of Ramsey and Son.

That's sadistic.

Now you listen to me.

I was up all night in the best

interest of Ramsey and Son.

I landed a $5,000,000 account in the

best interest of Ramsey and Son.

And as for you

leaving the bridge,

you haven't been in the

office for two months.

And that's in the best

interest of Ramsey and Son.

I have a very good reason

for not going into the office.

It depresses the employees.

I discussed it with my analyst, Dr.

Melnick. He understands it.

He says I depress him, too.

Yeah, he's only human.

Well, you should

feel sorry for me!

You don't know what a handicap

it is to be born rich.

Some handicap.

Don't sneer.

Wealthy people are

hated and resented.

Look what's written

on the Statue of Liberty.

Does it say,

"Send me your rich"?

No, it says,

"Send me your poor."

We're not even welcome

in our own country.

It's all very well for you to laugh!

You're one of the lucky ones.

You were born in the slums.

That's lucky?

Of course it is. You had everything

going for you. Poverty, squalor...

There was only one way for you to go.

Up. But I started at the top.

I've done it the hard way.

Done what?

Taken over the helm

of Ramsey and Son.

And as president,

I've a right to know

what's been going on

since I've taken over.

Well, I'll tell you.

I've landed ten new accounts.

There's a lot more to advertising

than just landing accounts.

The big job is

selling the product.

Give me a well-stacked dame

in a bathing suit,

and I'll sell aftershave

lotion to beatniks.

Girls again! What's this

obsession you have with girls?

I was a poor kid, remember? I

didn't have toys to play with.

See? I told you

it's a handicap to be rich.

Get me that green tie.

Right.

What about Miss Templeton?

What am I gonna say to her?

Nothing.

I'll say it for you.

Oh, good.

Tell her that we're very

sorry for what happened.

And that if she's willing

to forgive and forget,

why, that henceforth we will conduct

ourselves in a manner beyond reproach.

Carol Templeton, please.

Jerry Webster calling.

Ramsey and Son.

Assure her of our

high moral character.

Yes, Mr. Webster.

Mr. Ramsey here tells me

that you spoke to him.

And I'd like to ask you a favor.

Will you kindly keep your big,

fat nose out of my business?

No! No!

If the competition's too tough, get

out of the advertising profession.

You aren't even in

the advertising profession.

And if I weren't a lady, I'd tell

you what profession you are in.

Tell me anyway. Well,

let me put it this way.

I don't use sex

to land an account!

When do you use it?

I don't!

My condolences to your husband.
