- You don't what?

- Anything. Understand.

Why it is I fall to pieces

whenever you give me that look.

- What look?

- This look.

- That's me?

- Sure.

Makes me feel you don't believe in me

and never will.

- You're just overwrought.

- And you're just overpowering.

- Now, let's not squabble, huh?

- Okay!

I'll see if I can square things

with the Bemingers.

Why try?

Face it, Pat. He's a power.

He's out there screaming

about firing you.

- He couldn't.

- Why not?

- Because I've quit.

- When?

- Right now.

- Oh, no.

- Well, this is no place to talk now.

- Okay, later.

Don't get frazzled, dear.

Don't get frazzled.

Everybody frazzles everybody...

...then they turn around

and tell them, "Don't be. "

What?

That true, Charlie?

What's true?

What you think I could do?

Scout's honor.

- All right, then.

- Great.

I'll show her.

- Show who?

- Show myself, that's who.

That's right. Because you know how

to not get yourself frazzled?

Get unfrazzled.

Nearly all of the 60 girls

who have entered...

...have turned in their scorecards.

Let me repeat, ladies and gentlemen,

only the 16 best will be eligible...

...to compete for match play,

which begins tomorrow.

Your attention, ladies and gentlemen,

we have another score.

Mrs. Patricia Pemberton

has just qualified with a sparkling 77.

That, ladies and gentlemen,

leaves one contender still to be...

Yes, here she comes now,

the mighty Babe.

We'll have her score for you

in just a second. Here it is now.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the top score of the day.

Mrs. Babe Didrikson Zaharias

has just qualified...

...with a sensational 73.

Now, fellas, here's the rundown.

From left to right,

Beverly Hanson, Babe Zaharias...

...Helen Dettweiler,

Betty Hicks, Mary Lorgan...

...Harriet Salter

and Mrs. Patricia Pemberton.

- Don't be scared, lady.

- What is this, anyway?

Sit down. Come over here

and sit down. Take it easy.

I never like to see an athlete

wear hisself out. Or herself.

- Lf this is a holdup or a robbery...

- We didn't come to be insulted.

- Take it easy.

- Tell her.

- Identify ourselves.

- Sit down.

You've been on your feet

the whole day.

Why don't you sit down

and take it easy.

Mrs. Pemberton, I'd like to

introduce myself. Mike Conovan.

And my associate, Barney Grau.

- Pleasure.

- Take a chair, Barney.

Thank you.

I have been watching you

like eagle eye the last couple of days.

And I'm here to tell you, you are

one beautiful thing to watch. In action.

I've been in this sports racket

as long as I can remember...

...and I'm here to say,

you are what I call, no doubt, fast.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

Let me ask you

a plain statement of fact.
