Born Yesterday Page #4

Harry didn't want me

bein' in the show.

He didn't want to share me

with the general public.

I see.

He's changed, Harry.

Don't you think so?

- How?

- He used to be more satisfied.

Now he's always

runnin' around like this.

- Why'd he have to come to Washington?

- Long story.

Well, don't tell it to me.

I don't care where he goes.

I just wish he'd settle down.

- He's ambitious.

- I know.

He talks all the time now.

He never used to.

He keeps me up half the night

telling me what a big man he is...

how he's gonna be bigger,

run everything.

He may at that.

Personally, I don't care

one way or the other.

- Take it easy.

- Look, now don't you start!

Better if you drink tater,

after they're gone.

- Who, this congressman guy?

- And Mrs. Hedges.

- Harry says this fella works for him.

- In a way.

So what's he puttin' it on for?

Just he nice.

And no rough language.

- I won't open my mush.

- I didn't mean that.

I don't have to be down here at all.

I could go back to my place.

In fact, I think I will.

- Harry wouldn't like it.

- All right, all right, all right.

- How are you, Norval?

- Can't complain.

Haven't seen you in a long time, Anna.

Come on in.

You oughta remember this little lady,

great first-nighter like you.

- She used to be Billie Dawn.

- Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.

Billie, this is Mr. Norval Hedges

I've told you so much about.

- How do you do?

- How do ya do?

And this is Mrs. Hedges, Billie.

- Glad to meet you.

- Glad to meet ya.

It's a lovely evening.

- How about the terrace?

- That would he nice.

- What about a drink?

- Sounds all right to me.

- Scotch?

- Fine.

- Scotch all around, Eddie.

- Right.

He's awfully tired.

Standing over

a hot resolution all day?

Just about.

How do you like Washington,

Mrs. Brock?

I haven't seen it yet.

You mean this is the very first time

you've been here?

That's what I mean.

I never went on the road.

We must show you around.

Beautiful city.

Too bad the Supreme Court

isn't in session. You'd love that.

What is it?

Lots of people would like to know

the answer to that one.

- Hello, everybody.

- Mr. Hedges, Harry Brock.

It's about time we got together.

And I suppose this is Mrs. Hedges.

- Happy to make your acquaintance.

- Thank you.

Sit down.

Congressman.

- Have a good trip down?

- Sure. I came in my car.

Stopped off in Baltimore on the way.

I got a junkyard there.

Second one I picked up.

Before that, I only had one yard.

- How many do you have now?

- I couldn't answer that one, baby...

- Excuse me.

- Oh, that's all right.

I don't know why I like this Baltimore

outfit. I just get a feeling from it.

- Sentimental.

- That's it. I'm sentimental.
