Any unusual appeal will inspire him...

...will lead him to destruction

He likes variety...

...and he's never satisfied

Like a modern Don Juan

You could say that. I hope I made it

more clear, inspector

Bodelaire? That might help,

but at the moment I don't see how

Thank you very much Doctor Howkins

and good day

Sir, this is the chance of a lifetime

The chance of a lifetime?

I would do anything to work in a

Fleming and Willes show

Fleming and Willes? What's wrong

with your job here? What's wrong...

...with this place? I like it

Me too, it's great and loaded

with opportunities

But I want to go to that audition

Would you let me off tonight?

Not, unless you want to loose your

job. We need more girls, including

...your friend Lucy

By the way, what happened to her?

I know nothing about her. Her

landlady might know, did you ask her?

That's a good idea. And go back to

work like a good girl

Bye cutie

I need a line

Watch it boy

Hello? Hello?

Fleming and Willes? Hello?

Hello

Is this Mr. Fleming's secretary?

Who's this?

It's not for you, she wants

your secretary

Is it a girl? Hello

Is this Mr. Fleming's secretary?

This is Sandra Carpenter

Who is this?

Sandra Carpenter. I was supposed to

come in tonight for an audition...

...Mr. Milton gave me a card

but I can't possibly get away

Could you tell Mr. Fleming?

Mr. Fleming will be disappointed

You have a charming voice

But I don't sing, I dance

I bet you do and beautifully, why

don't we set up a private interview

You are intolerable

Wait a minute. The eyes of jealousy

are green, don't let that colour...

...get damaged

You are incorrigible

Of course I am, I'm incorrigible

Go on my dear, talk to me

Is it okay for the secretary to pass

judgement for his boss?

Mr. Fleming never makes a move

without me, in fact he lets me take...

...his girls out to dinner in order

to talk things over

Lemonade please

Are you American?

Mr. Fleming loves them, they have an

innocent way to put a man defensive

Oh Robert you are...!

Impossible. What were you saying?

Would it be against Mr. Fleming

policy to tell one of the girls when...

...the next audition is, please?

Tomorrow at 9. Will you make it?

I think so

I guaranty you'll see Mr. Fleming

Happy?

Very happy

Why don't you smile?

I'm smiling. Any more

instructions?

Lucy Barnard feared eight victim of

'Poet killer'

Operator? Hello? Hello?

Hello Julian

They just gave me the drawings

I feel like Napoleon

after Waterloo

More like Romeo after

Juliet closed the window

Is the first time they hung up on me

in years

Take a look, now we'll have the

finest Night Club in London

The entrance is large as well as
