- Hi.
- Here he is.
Very large tonight.
What took you so long?
I was scraping off my makeup, tons of it.
Say, you two all right up there?
You know the problem, honey.
Any time you want a little of mine...
- Excuse me, darlings.
- Hello, Victor, how are you?
All right, Vic, it's a nice party. Hiya, Lottie.
- Hi, Mr. Benson.
- Check the billing!
Man, you went the full route, didn't you?
You know there's nothing I wouldn't do
for you, Bill.
- You hungry?
- No.
- Thirsty?
- I can wait a little bit.
Want a girl to...
- No, I'm too tired.
- Can I carry you?
- Victor, put your pen away, will you?
- Good evening, Bill.
Hi, Fritzi.
I told you I wasn't going to sign
a contract...
till I know who's going to play
the other fellow.
- We'll find somebody.
- It's not as simple as that.
We gotta have a fellow who's young,
who can sing, dance, act.
Leave it to me. It's easy.
It's easy, huh, Victor?
I don't know anybody like that.
Neither do I.
That's what's so exciting about it.
There's this unknown genius
waiting to be discovered somewhere...
- and we have no idea where he is.
- That's very exciting.
- What's that?
- Sounds like a raid.
Look who's here!
It's nobody, just Ted Adams.
Otto!
Give them a break.
Here you are. Aren't they wonderful?
Thank you.
They really love me.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Hey, that was some reception, huh?
A year ago, nobody ever heard of him.
Fastest rise of anyone in television.
- Did you ever see him work?
- No, I live in a fringe area.
What kind of guest of honor are you?
They're all screaming for you.
- Come on!
- Why didn't you tell me?
Teddy, baby! Look here.
Hello, Victor.
I'm glad you didn't wait for me.
Do you hear that? Ad lib.
You know the boys.
Yes. Otto. Marty. Make yourself at home.
We can't stay very long. Tallulah's waiting.
Right.
Did you tell Bill that I've decided
to do the show with him?
- Yes.
- What did he say?
What did he say? What could he say?
This is it.
It'll open the second act.
Why don't you try it?
Bill!
Excuse me, darlings.
- Ted, you know Bill Benson.
- Sure.
- How do you do? Nice to see you, Ted.
- Thank you.
- See, I can't tell you how excited I am...
- He's a great fan of yours.
Oh, yes, ever since I was a kid.
Really, you don't know how excited
I was when Victor told me...
Yes, sir, a great fan.
How about the number?
Well, I've only just seen the verse,
but I'll take a hack at it.
They should erect a statue to the guy
Who first thought of hitting someone
with a pie
Call it hokum, hoke, or what you will
It sure got a laugh and they're laughing still
And nothing sounds quite as glorious
As a laugh that's real uproarious.
Cut, here. Time. This calls for two fellows.
I need another guy.
You do? Why don't you run through it
with him?
Thank you, darling.
Got it.
Give them elegant prose
Noel Coward bon mots
Yeah, and tres gay.
You'll get notices
But you'll go broke
If the hero's flustered
Hit him with a custard
You gotta give the people hoke.
Do your best tour jet
From a classic ballet
And they'll rush to the lobby and smoke
Add a tiny pratfall
And you'll be running that ball
You gotta give the people hoke
Now the critics may say it's trash
But trash or not, it's a smash
We've done it again
And the crowds are standing in line
'Cause Winchell thinks it's just fine
Every year at the Met
They go deeper in debt
You would think that it's time they awoke
They don't want Pagliacci
Give them Liberace
You gotta give the people
