Baby Face Page #5

---

If you fire me, we're through.

It isn't the job, I don't mind that.

But it just goes to show me

how much you care.

- Well, you know how much l...

- How much you what?

Are you letting me go?

Ned, you can't do this thing.

I don't want to hand your resignation

to the board.

I'm sorry, Mr. Carter,

but I can't discharge the girl.

- I know it's difficult, but now, look here...

- It's no use.

I know what you're going to say,

but I can't help it.

I'm willing to take the consequences.

I know it means my job.

And Anne will break our engagement.

Now, now, take it easy.

This needn't be the end of the world.

Naturally, you're upset.

But after all,

you and I understand each other.

Suppose you let me handle this thing.

What you need is a little change.

A few days at White Sulphur.

Or even at Atlantic City.

That'll give you time to think things over.

Meantime, leave everything to me.

What do you say, huh?

- Thanks a lot.

- Yeah.

Yes?

Thank you.

Mr. Carter would like to see you

right away.

Me?

I won't waste words with you.

This is a very serious matter.

Of course, you realize that Mr. Stevens

is engaged to my daughter?

Engaged?

Why, I had no idea.

Oh, it can't be true.

You mean, you didn't know

he was to be married?

Oh, no. He told me I was the only one.

My daughter is heartbroken.

But what about me?

You're not asking me

to give him up, are you?

Oh, how could I?

Did he mean so much to you?

Everything in the world.

Was he your first sweetheart?

This is very distressing.

I'm sure you must see

how impossible it would be...

...for you to remain at the bank.

But what will I do?

- Have you no family in New York?

- No, I'm all alone here.

I haven't any friends

and I haven't any money.

I shall have to think this over.

Will you tell me where you live?

My telephone number is Schuyler 3-2215.

- Miss Powers?

- Yes, sir. Come right in.

Thank you.

- Good morning.

- Oh, good morning.

- Is these new furs, honey?

- Not so much "honey."

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, before I forget it,

Mr. Carter called up.

- He's coming up for dinner.

- Yeah?

Give the old boy Irish stew.

Oh, Hodges, we'll have coffee

and liqueurs in here.

Did Fuzzy-Wuzzy enjoy his dinner?

Oh, you're just too marvelous.

Okay, Hodges.

Does my baby want brandy?

Anything you say.

- Aren't you gonna have some?

- Oh, no. I never drink.

Oh, come on.

Well, maybe just a sip of yours.

Isn't this cozy?

You know, sometimes your little girl

gets awful lonesome here all by herself.

Oh, my dear.

I wish you'd get rid of

that fantastic colored girl.

- No, Chico stays.

- All right, all right, all right.

How would you like to have

a nice grand piano in this room?
