of the Department of Amusement

will be welcomed by the secretary. "

- That's all.

- Yes, sir.

I have a suggestion to make,

Mr. Secretary.

- Fine. Fine, what is it?

- You're working too hard.

- You think so?

- Positively. It isn't good for you.

Now, now.

This isn't the children's division.

No, I mean it. You're going

all the time,just like a machine.

Seeing hundreds

of people daily, losing sleep...

eating sandwiches in your office.

Don't you ever stop

for a real meal?

No. But that's an idea.

Suppose you and I have dinner tonight?

- Well, I-

- Fine. Fine. I'll call for you at 7:00.

For heaven's sake, let's select a caf

where there's no entertainment.

- This is going to do you a lot of good.

- You're telling me.

Cancel that last order

to motion picture producers.

Yes, sir.

The eastern papers.

Look at that. Look at that!

Wonderful cooperation from the press.

They've been with us from the start.

I know the department's going

to be a tremendous success.

Why they're laughing from

the Atlantic to the Pacific.

- Now, Scotty, do you know what your line is?

- Yes.

What is it?

That's it.

And then what do you say to them?

That's right.

Now get in your positions.

Put your hands

on each other's shoulders.

That's it. That's fine.

- Now, you'll all be back tomorrow at 4:00-

- Yes, Miss Adams.

and you'll know your lines

perfectly, won't you?

- Yes, Miss Adams.

- All right now.

You've all been very good

children today...

so I have a surprise for you.

- What is it? What do you have?

- Help yourselves.

Here, Maryanne.

There's one for you.

- Yes.

- Mr. George Bernard Shaw.

Send Mr. Shaw in.

George Bernard Shaw?

Yassuh.

- You're a little sunburned, aren't you?

- Yassuh, but...

see, I'm an outdoor man.

All right. Get outdoors.

No. No!

Now, boss,you're gonna need somebody

to help you-

Hello?

Zone 14. Okay.

Two dozen orchestras.

Two-and-a-half dozen

extra trombone players.

Zone 35, six dozen whirling Arabs,

Have my New York office get the complete score

and manuscript from last night's opening.

Believe I'm gonna like this place, sir.

All I gotta do is get used

to your likes and dislikes.

- No.

- You need somebody who can do...

Shim Sham Shimmy

with words and feet?

- No.

- Everybody's doin' it now.

I carry this board

so I don't spoil the rug.

It'll all fall off...

Folks like me.

Like that.

I need someone to stand at that door

when my secretary's at lunch...

to keep the wrong

kind of people out.

- Can you handle the job?

- If you tell me.

- You wouldn't let anybody get by?

- Nossuh.

Nobody can get by now

nohow, 'cause...
