I'd like to hear it.

Anytime.

What's wrong with now?

okay-

I mean, I'm through

for the night.

Let's go.

Who's your

decorator, Bela Lugosi?

No, I did it myself.

With what, a shovel?

Well, what's a poor boy to do?

Anything to get out of this.

Well, I spend more

time on the beach

than I do in the dump anyway.

I'm glad.

What'll you have,

bourbon and water, bourbon and

soda or bourbon and bourbon?

Oh, surprise me.

This didn't turn out

exactly the way I wanted,

but you'll be able to get an

idea of my voice on records.

I watched with blinded

eyes the looks of loneliness

Broke and heartless

Won't give a damn if

you're down and dying

Oh I'm broke and heartless

Oh, you can do much

better than that.

Got any ideas?

Yeah, like taking

it to a different studio.

Oh, I can dig your

style, alright,

but not those arrangements.

Maybe added stings, or,

sure.

Background voices.

If you put in background noises,

you could fill in all those

empty spots, and then,

There I go, talking shop.

No, no, no, go ahead.

I mean, what you're

saying is right.

See that?

You do need help.

Who doesn't?

Did you ever hear

of National Records?

Sure, they're the biggest.

Well, that's me.

Or at least, it's my husband.

That is, it was

until his accident.

He's an invalid now, and I

more or less run the business.

How about that?

How about that?

You want help, don't you?

Sure, maybe

something in writing?

Oh, you don't trust me.

No.

Hello?

No, I don't need any

liquor deliveries tonight.

Don't you think

I'd have your number?

Sure.

I'll have my secretary draw

up the necessary contracts.

I'll give you a call

in a day or two.

I see you didn't waste any time.

Hey, come on in!

I thought she'd never leave.

What happened?

She digs me, baby!

She flipped for the record

of my act, and everything!

Tony, put me down!

I wouldn't bank on it.

The secretary's

drawing up the contracts.

Believe it when you see it.

She plays games, Tony.

You're just one of her toys.

Yeah, well, how do you

know so much about her, huh?

She's an old fixture.

She collects men

like she drinks,

one at a time, all in a row.

Not me, she doesn't.

I've seen her in action.

And you've seen my action, baby.

Your moneys on a winner.

I'll play it cool.

For your sake, Tony, I hope so.

Is it that cut and dry?

She's a

woman, isn't she?

Her husband's an invalid.

It's as simple as that.

You make it sound so cold.

Well, it's a cold world, baby.

Not to everyone.

Well, don't worry,

I'll keep her occupied.

I wanna be somebody.

But you are someone.

You have a job singing

at the Lobster House.

Oh, come on, get off it.

These things take time.
