Break your back on the copy

for this one, hal.

They're pressuring me

from upstairs.

That's news?

Pioneer's billings

are only pushing

eight figures this year...

Eight.

That's why the "old man's"

decided to

sit on this one

personally.

Hal, you know what

that means?

A successful campaign

could do great things

for both of us.

So...

"Make that copy

stand up and sing, boy!"

You took the words

right out of my mouth, hal.

Yes, I know.

Okay, Greg.

I'll give my all

for dear old pioneer!

[Typewriter keys click]

Well, you were in there

long enough.

What did he have to say?

Oh, the usual,

shoulders to the wheel,

all that jazz.

Where's bill?

He's over at Clayton's

researching some perfume copy.

Well...

Well what?

Very impressive.

Pioneer's new line

of food mixes.

Now, I'll need the analysis

that research did on this.

Uh-hmm.

And you're doing the copy

for the whole campaign?

Uh-huh.

Wait'll the girls

hear about this!

Now, don't make a big thing

out of it.

I might not come up with

the right answers, you know.

Oh, yes, you will.

And I'll bring you

fresh coffee every hour.

Well, now, this sudden

dedication

is a little frightening.

Well, look,

if you keep on landing

these blue ribbon

assignments,

it's just a question of time

until they boost you

up the ladder with a nice fat

pay raise, right?

You're writing the copy,

you tell me.

Well, then, naturally,

you'll take me along

as your private secretary,

and I'll get a nice fat

pay raise, too!

Which I need desperately.

Now, what makes you

so positive

that I'll ask for you

on moving day?

Because you'd rather put up

with my insolence

than go through the torture

of breaking in a new secretary

who might not cater

to your every whim!

Miss canfield...

Why aren't you at your post

guarding this office

from enemy infiltration?

The enemy, sir?

Well, this communique

from the 15th floor

to all personnel

doesn't sound very friendly.

Hail, friend!

The purchasing department

advises that requisitions

for pencils,

number 3 hard,

have exceeded by 14 gross

the number consumed

during any previous quarter

in the history of this agency.

Since gross billings

for this same quarter

were down 15 percent,

it must be assumed

this inventory was not used

in the performance

of company business.

Personnel are reminded

that office supplies

are not intended for

personal or domestic use.

I thank you.

[Applause]

I knew your incessant

pencil sharpening

was bound to cause

economic ruin.

Huh! We did pretty well

with those big Teddy bears.

Ooo, those plush skunks

are a slow item.

I'm going to have to go over

this report later, grace.
