a month, but that I was to get sixty.

Oh sure, you're kicking fifteen a month

to him. That's his cut.

Say, how do you think these

butler's get rich?

They take a percentage on everything

that's bought for the house..

.. from flowers to fish.

Fish. That reminds me. I have to phone

my boyfriend.

Come on.

Oh Wroxton.

Yes, madam?

They'll be two more for dinner tonight.

That makes eighteen.

Be sure every thing's in perfect order.

Yes madam.

Hello gorgeous.

Hello.

These are for madam

Thanks. I'll take them right up to her.

Say, you're new aren't you?

Well, I'm not old.

I haven't seen you before.

And I don't miss much.

Is that so?

What's your night off?

Tonight.

Swell. How about a dance tonight?

I'll let you know tomorrow.

Come here, sweetness.

Hey, wait a minute!

Enough of that!

Go on. Get out of here!

Listen, I'm not taking any orders from you.

When you're in this house,

you're in my territory.

Oh yeah?

Possibly, you have forgotten that

little incident?

The night you took the town car without

permission, and smashed it up.

Go on. Get out!

Oh Ellen.

Yes, sir?

In future, if any of the staff annoy

you, report it to me.

Very good sir,

The point is, I will not tolerate any

misconduct whatsoever.

Oh, by the way, Ellen. Come here.

I'm not at all satisfied with the way

my room is being done.

I think I should like you to look after it.

Oh Mr. Wroxton, I'd..

I'd rather not do your room.

But my dear child.

If one is in service it is not a question

of what one would rather do.

It's a question of what one must do.

If one wishes to continue working.

That's all.

Yes, sir.

Robert has asked me to bring these

up to you madam.

Oh yes. Open them, please.

Certainly.

Hello.

Hello darling. I'm sorry about tonight, dear.

I won't be able to get down.

Important conference with the

Philadelphia crowd.

Oh Perry, that's rather a nuisance.

It leaves me high and dry with

eighteen for dinner.

It can't be helped dear.

I'm working like a dog.

Alright dear. I understand.. Bye.

Oh heavens it's wrinkled, and I

wanted to wear it tonight.

Well, I can press it for you Mrs. Winfield.

Can you?

Well, you're a new girl aren't you?

Yes, madam.

What's your name?

Ellen.

Alright Ellen. Please be quick.

Yes, certainly.

You've done this very nicely, Ellen.

Thank you.

How long have you been here?

A month today.

Ellen, let me see your teeth.

Oh very nice.

I've had a lot of trouble with my

personal maids.

One was a kleptomaniac.

Another wanted to be a tap-dancer.

And the last one was always asking

for a day off to go to the dentist.

Thank goodness you won't need

many days off for the dentist.
