The Dolly Sisters Page #2

We didn't get along.

- Oh, is that so?

Have you got a college degree?

A. B? B. A? Ph. D?

- What's your alphabet?

- Well, I was lucky to get through high school.

Well, then, don't look

down on an educated seal.

- Let me tell you some-

- Well, he can't help it.

You see, Mr. Fox

is a Broadway headliner.

- Direct from two weeks at Hammerstein's Victoria.

- Rosie, please.

Well, is there any law against

a fella giving himself a little buildup?

- Never heard of one.

- Come on! Who's next?

We haven't got all day! We got an Elks dance

and a wedding to play! Let's go!

Hi, fellas. Look, bring me on

with a fast eight bars of "I Love the Lady."

And there's a new tune there I wrote myself

called "I Can't Begin To Tell You."

- It's a ballad, but I want it played lively, see?

- Everybody does.

No! No! No!

That's not it at all.

Keep it light and gay.

Pick it up in the treble,

like this, in a shoddish tempo.

- Wonderful.

- Thanks.

You ought to be the leader at Hammerstein's

Victoria. I didn't get your name.

- Gilbert Oystermore.

- Oh. Well, I'll make a note of that.

Thanks, boys.

I'll see you tonight.

They went that way.

Hey, they're not bad little babes.

- How about you and me datin' them up tonight?

- You look better with the seal.

Oh, thanks very much.

Oh, yeah?

If Elmer looked anything like you,

I'd make a fur coat out of him.

Stop it. He hates you.

Come on. Come on, hurry up.

- Oh.

- It's a good thing we don't own a trunk.

- It's a good thing we're not a trio.

- That's right.

Dolly Sisters!

I'll get it.

Well?

Oh, for us?

- You're the Dolly Sisters, ain't ya?

- Well, yes, but-

- That's what it says here.

- Thank you very much.

I knew it. That nice-looking gentleman with

the bald head in the third row. Remember him?

How could I forget?

He's been in that same seat for five shows.

Oh. Him.

"My mistake. You two girls

can be billed over me anytime.

How about a cup of coffee?

Harry Fox."

Oh, how sweet.

Let's go have a bite

to eat with him.

There you go again,

Josephine.

- Well, we've got to eat anyway.

And stop calling me Josephine.

This is our introduction.

We're in the wings.

This is the proscenium arch.

And do just like I told you.

Don't get nervous, honey.

Well, shouldn't we be

singing as we come on?

Everybody else does that,

so we'll be different. We'll sing later.

It's a funny feeling

working with a man.

Darling, we're sensational. We're killing 'em.

Let's take another bow.

Okay.

- You picked that up in a hurry.

- Rosie will get it in a minute.
