Babes on Broadway Page #2

Synopsis: Tommy Williams desperately wants to get to Broadway, but as he is only singing in a spaghetti house for tips he is a long way off. He meets Penny Morris, herself no mean singer, and through her gets the idea to promote a show to send orphaned children on a country holiday. But he is only using the kids to get on himself, which Penny soon realises. With his romance off, an engagement in Philadelphia he can't get to, and, indeed, war in Europe, life can be difficult.

you tickets, get your money's worth.

- You do that. I'll give you my address.

- Swell.

- There.

- Well, thank you very much.

Miss Jones from Wisconsin.

You've been darn swell to us.

If you need a couple of fellows to

show you the city or anything like that...

Well, here, I'll give you one of our cards.

There you are.

Which of the Three Balls of Fire are you?

I'm the one you can't get any insurance on.

Tommy Williams.

You can phone me at Pitt-Astor Drugstore.

I'm there all the time.

It's kind of like an actors' clearing-house.

I'd like to show it to you sometime.

That's very nice, Tommy.

- I'm much obliged.

- Why, not at all.

You liked our act, didn't you?

You give a fella a lot of heart.

You know, the last person that made me

feel this good was my mother.

That's a nicer compliment than I paid you.

You'll hear from me.

You just drop your hat

and I'll come running.

Oh, and thanks again for this fiver.

You know, you made Santa Claus

seem like a schoolboy.

It won't seem so much when you split it

three ways and deduct the income tax.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hi, Tommy, Hammy.

- Hi, ladies.

- Tommy, I got that part.

- Swell, Sally.

- Wonderful.

- Great.

- Hi, sexy boy.

- Oh, hello, fellas.

- Been making the rounds?

- And how.

- Anything new?

- Yeah, did you have any luck?

I saw 14 producers,

but nobody's producing.

Oh, dear. That's...

Hi, Bert. Keep those sidewalks

hot enough nowadays, don't they?

- Stop looking at that 85c dinner.

- Boys, what will it be?

- Steak, medium.

- Chicken, fried.

- Squab, broiled.

- Yeah, I know.

- Three hams on rye and heavy on the ham.

- Oh, that's very funny.

- There was a call for you guys.

- Call for us?

- Yeah, the Thornton Reed office.

- Thornton Reed's office.

- Thornton Reed?

- Easy, buddy.

Don't you think it's too warm for jokes?

I don't know, but she says Thornton Reed

Productions wants you before 6:00.

How can we lose? We've been turned down

by every producer.

Look here, Shorty, if this is a gag,

you've seen your last banana split.

Hey, excuse me, ma'am.

This may sound crazy to you,

but did you call us?

Well, who are you?

Well, we're the Three...

- Balls of Fire.

- Balls of Fire.

Right in there, please.

Well, go ahead. It's only a doorknob.

Well, hello.

But, miss, I thought that you were...

In Wisconsin?

I'm afraid not, not for 20 years.

- But, Miss Jones, I...

- Hey, you're not Jonesy?

Not the famous Jo... Holy...

Well, aren't you going to sit down?

Oh, yeah.

And I was gonna show you New York.

Maybe you will someday.

You know, I've never really seen it all.

Now, boys, to get down to business.
