STEW:

With me you can always do business.

CONROY:

Do you know what to do in a drawing-

room?

STEW:

It isn't a question of knowing

what to do, it's knowing how to

get in one that counts.

The telephone rings, Conroy answers it.

CONROY:

(speaking on the

phone)

Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

He hangs up, turns back to Stew.

CONROY:

Now listen, we've got a tip that

the Schuyler family has finally

made a deal with that chorus dame.

STEW:

Gloria Golden?

CONROY:

Yeah, little Gloria.

STEW:

The human cash register. Got her

hooks into the Schuyler kid, eh?

CONROY:

Right - for the first time this

year.

STEW:

(modestly)

Well - it's only April.

CONROY:

Come on, get going, get going!

STEW:

(loftily)

Get going where? I can write that

yarn without stepping out of the

office.

CONROY:

Yeah - and get us into a million

dollar libel suit. It wouldn't be

the first time. Now, you get over

there and get a statement out of

the old lady, the sister, or the

kid. Any of them - but get it.

STEW:

(resigned)

All right. Give me a voucher for

expenses.

12. CLOSE DOUBLE SHOT (ANOTHER ANGLE)

CONROY:

What expenses? All you need is

carfare to Long Island. You'd better

get a shave and a shine, because

you, you're going to have a tough

time getting in there as it is.
