You'll Never Get Rich Page #3

---

If you get a chance, you might put in

a good word for me with Sheila.

Hello.

I said, hello.

Oh, hello.

I'm sorry. For a minute,

I was a long way off.

- Have a nice trip?

- Wonderful.

I'm glad you came back.

Incidentally, you dance beautifully.

- You didn't think so at rehearsal.

- Oh, that.

Confidentially, Sheila, I'm delighted

every time you make a mistake.

I get a chance to dance with you.

Confidentially, I make mistakes

for the same reason.

Good evening, Mr. Cortland.

What are you looking for?

Me? Nothing.

Why should I be looking for anything?

- Thanks, Sheila. It was lovely.

- That's your fault.

Look! There are Robert and Sheila.

- Oh, how surprising.

- Let's go over and say hello.

Just to be polite.

Just for a minute.

- Oh, Robert.

- Hello, Martin. Hello, Julia.

- Well, this is a surprise.

- Is it?

- Of course it is.

- Want to sit down?

Thank you. That's nice of you.

We have a table over here.

Way back is the best we could get.

I hope we're not gonna crowd you.

Sheila, how rude of me.

You know Miss Winthrop, Julia?

- Yes. How do you do, Miss Winthrop?

- How do you do?

It was outside of my husband's office,

wasn't it?

I'm glad you both dropped by.

I was just about to...

- You first, Robert.

- Thank you.

I was gonna say,

I'm glad you both dropped by.

It makes a very pleasant occasion

even more so.

Yes, doesn't it? And it's our

15th wedding anniversary too.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Robert, did you happen to see

the lovely present Martin gave me?

- It was a backscratcher, Chinese.

- Ming dynasty. Ming.

When we were first married, it was

orchids. Now it's a backscratcher.

Try and scratch your back

with an orchid, I always say.

It seems to be a special occasion

for both of us.

How did you like your present,

my dear?

What present do you mean?

That's a funny thing about orchids.

I was talking to a guy the other day

who breeds... Raises orchids.

He said he couldn't do...

You gotta make so much difference

about the yellow ones. But...

Martin, what in the world

are you doing?

- I'm tying my shoe.

- Try doing it with both hands.

- Well, what were we talking about?

- The present Robert gave Miss Winthrop.

Julia, can't you keep a secret?

I was saving this as a surprise,

but now that you know it...

...I hope you like it.

- This couldn't be a diamond bracelet?

- Open it.

"To my dear, sweet Sheila."

The funny thing was that when my wife

found that in my pocket...

...she thought that I was the one

who bought it for you.

How could you possibly think

such a thing?

Because I know Martin.

Do you like it, Sheila?

Like it? It's wonderful. It's the most

gorgeous thing I ever saw!
