...right down there.

- Done it again, Vernon.

- Yeah.

- You were great today, Vernon.

- Oh, thanks.

Thanks very much.

Oh, hello.

Have you been out front?

How did you like it?

You were terrible.

Oh, so Ms. Irene Foote... actress

of New Rochelle... thinks I'm terrible.

Thanks for taking the trouble

to come back and tell me so.

You could be a perfectly wonderful

dancer if you wanted to.

Instead you waste your talent

letting people set fire to you.

It takes talent to make people laugh.

And I like being set fire to.

- Well, I won't have you doing it.

- Oh, you won't.

Say, what makes you

so excited about me?

You have something no comedian

will ever have and you're wasting it.

What other reason could there be?

Oh, I don't know. Girls, especially young

girls, sometimes gets crushes on actors...

- Oh, I didn't...

- You called me a ham.

Well, you're a ham with mustard.

Oh, I know what it means.

And if you think I had interest

in coming back here, you're mistaken.

- Wait.

- Don't think I'll annoy you...

...with my intentions, Mr. Castle. Just go

on, be funny with soap on your face...

...and get to be a first comedian.

I thought you could be a first dancer.

A very beautiful first dancer.

Because you are a beautiful dancer,

but you're so smug and conceited...

...that you can't see any further

than your funny nose.

There!

Was you expecting someone, Sailor?

Can't a person sit in their own front yard

on a Sunday without expecting somebody.

I knew he's a fly-by-night.

I knew it the minute I seen him.

- Who?

- The fellow you're not expecting.

Hello there.

Is Ms. Foote at home?

She's not?

Did she go out?

Come on, Zowie.

Come on, Zowie.

Come on, Zowie. Come on.

That's it.

- My, it's getting warm, isn't it, Walter?

- Hello.

Oh, hello, Mr. Castle.

I just happened to be out this way,

so I stopped by to see if the dog is all right.

Oh, Zowie?

Oh, he's just fine, thank you.

Thought he might be sick,

that's why I came out.

- No, he's just fine.

- That's good.

See, I thought he might be sick

and just thought I'd...

Come out.

My, what a beautiful automobile.

- Is it yours?

- Just a little runabout.

- There's nothing like a good spin.

- Makes you dizzy.

No, it doesn't, Walter.

It's just I'm not one way

or another about it.

Well, I guess I'd better be

running along.

Bye.

Well, I'm glad the dog is all right.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

Oh, dear.

Here, Zowie. Here, Zowie.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, Zowie, you bad little dog.

Sailor, you get down out

of that contraption. It ain't safe.

Smile...

...walk...

...cross in front. To the audience.

- To each other.
