Desk Set Page #6

Remember our motto: Be on time, do

your work, be down in the bar at 5:30.

Coffee break. Better hurry

if we want to get a seat.

Peg.

- Save a seat for me. I'll be right down.

- Okay.

Oh, Peg! He asked me!

Finally, he asked me!

Oh, Bunny! Bunny, I'm so glad!

- Did you set the date?

- Well, it was always on the 12th of...

- Date for what?

- The wedding.

What wedding?

He invited me to the dance.

For heaven's sake,

what'd you expect me to think?

"Oh, Peg, he asked me!

Finally, he asked me!"

Well, he also invited me

for the weekend, Peg.

Ladies and gentlemen, you have

just listened to another episode...

in the life of Bunny Watson,

spare tire.

Ohh!

Ohh!

Reference.

Miss Watson.

Let me jot that down.

Yes. Yes, I'm positive

we've got that.

Hold on a minute, please.

Oh, dry up.!

I'll take the call.

- Who's that?

- Sumner.

Oh. Thank you.

Hello. Reference department.

Sumner speaking.

I'm afraid Miss Saylor isn't here

at the moment. Can I help you?

What's that?

Uh, wait just a minute

till I get a pencil, please.

All right, shoot.

Well, l...

I mean, would you mind

repeating that?

Reduced, yes.

Black velvet, strapless.

With what kind of a scarf?

Puce?

I know how to spell it...

P- U-C-E.

Right.

I'll tell her

as soon as she comes in.

Thanks a lot.

Miss Watson, w-who is this?

There she is.

She's our trademark.

She's been with the company

since it first started 36 years ago.

Huh.

I'm not surprised

you didn't recognize her.

- She's changed her hair.

- Aha.

Yes, I do have it. I'll send it down

by messenger. You're welcome.

Uh, Miss Watson,

are you free for lunch?

- Lunch? Me and you?

- Yes. Why?

Is there some company policy

that prohibits two people...

No. No, no, no.

Uh, I'll check

my appointment book.

Fine.

I just remembered.

I'm free.

Oh, good, good. I've got a lot

of questions to ask you.

Lunch is as good a time as any

to get 'em over with.

- Quarter of one all right?

- Fine.

- I'll pick you up here.

- Good.

Say, Sadie, what time is it?

Oh. Hmm. Thanks.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- You being stood up?

- Your guess is as good as mine.

- All I know is, I'm starved.

- Good.

If he takes you to the Pavilion,

try the chicken with truffles.

- I hear it's marvelous.

- Poulard truffee.

I may eat myself

right into next week.

- Take your time. I'll mind the store.

- Okay.

Hello, Miss Watson.

Am I late? Sorry.

I was beginning to think

I'd misunderstood you.

Oh, no, no, no. Come on.

Uh, tell me, Miss Watson,

what training

have you had for your job?

Well, a college education,

and after that

a library course at Columbia.

I was gonna take a PhD,

but I ran out of money.
