- Hi, Tessie. Call me Sammy.

- Come on, Joe!

- Come on!

Run!

- Well, we win.

- No.

- What's the matter?

- He's out. That's the end of the inning.

- The score is tied?

- Like a wet shoelace.

What a shame. We almost won.

Let's get out of here.

- Wait, the game isn't over.

- You said nine innings.

At the end of nine innings, if the score

is tied, they play until somebody wins.

- What time is it?

- 4:
30.

I'm late already.

I've got a rehearsal at NBC.

You stay and finish. I'll be fine.

- So long.

- So long, pal.

- Wait, I'll go with you.

- Oh, please...

Looks like the ball game isn't

the only thing that's tied up around here.

Sounds like a hit. Two-bagger.

NBC, and hurry, please. 9:00.

I'm sorry, I must... I thought...

Looking for Miss Harding.

- Well, come right in.

- Is this Miss Harding's?

Yes. May I have your hat?

- Oh, I don't... I don't...

- Sam.

Sam, I'm so glad you came. Who won?

- Who won what?

- The game.

- The Yanks in the 10th.

- How nice.

Everyone in Philadelphia

must be so happy.

You dropped your flowers.

Thanks.

- Flowers.

- Sam, you're sweet.

Shall we pass them around again now?

Come on. A few people always

come in after my broadcast.

Why do you broadcast?

Just wait and tell them here.

Are they kidding

with that "da-da-da"?

You don't speak Russian,

they speak nothing else.

Now, let's see.

I wonder who you'd get along with.

There's Madame Laruga

sitting over there.

- Probably don't speak Slovenian either.

- No, just a little broken English.

Hello. Sam, will you excuse me?

He doesn't know anyone here.

How did Harry come out with that

Customs deal he was working on?

He didn't. I even went to the consul,

and he couldn't do anything.

- He stopped you?

- Absolutely.

- Why didn't you go the limit for Harry?

- I went to the Mexican authorities...

Dr. Livingstone, I presume.

Yes?

Yes. Sit down.

I get kind of lost at these big parties,

don't you?

Yes.

The situation is pretty warm

in your part of the world, isn't it?

Yes.

- Having fun?

- Yes.

We haven't met. My name is Craig.

- What's yours?

- Oh, yes.

You don't speak English,

do you, Charlie?

Yes.

You're a silly-Iooking little jerk

with that towel around your head.

- You know that, don't you?

- Yes.

- That's all, brother.

- Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Hey, ask her if it's true about

Rudolph Hess' toenails, will you?

I don't think we'll make a definite

reservation for the return flight.

Just a moment, please. Sorry.

Either tomorrow night

or Monday morning. Thank you.

- My name is Sam Craig. It's all right.

- Will you kindly be seated?

It'll just be a moment.

This is Gerald Howe,

Miss Harding's secretary, speaking.
