Expresso Bongo Page #2

And open up the showcases

to handle the bits

Which means until you own

the goods, don't touch the exhibits

You can hover like an eagle

But until you make it legal

You can look at the goods,

but don't touch

Hello, Charlie boy.

Come on, Alma! Ready, get dressed!

How can you strip if you're not dressed?

The work's ageing you, Charlie.

Oh, it's like

Smithfield Meat Market around here.

- So you're here, then.

- So I'm here, then. Kiss me properly.

I was using my new voice tonight.

Do you like it?

It was an experience, Maisie doll.

Doll, I wouldn't have missed it for

50% of Val Parnell.

Undo me.

You know, I think, um... Well, I think

we might go straight home tonight,

watch telly, have a few laughs.

- I hadn't thought about it.

- Well, don't rupture your brain!

Oh, don't be. I'm all pathological

when I'm doing a show.

It's all those bald heads out there.

It's like playing to an egg box!

- So long as you don't lay the eggs.

- I'm getting out of it soon.

- So, at least mention my new voice.

- We could both do with an early night.

I'm dying of hunger.

Besides, I've got our supper already

cooking to death here.

Sorry, Johnny.

My teacher says I'm a new Judy Garland.

Send me the bill for the testimonial.

I told her to send you all the bills.

It's nice you have so much faith in me.

Do you want to take in the finale?

Nothing personal, kid,

but I think I need some fresh air.

You two. You've been running

nearly as long as the show.

It's known as fidelity.

And your G-string's slipped.

Shh.

You know the trouble with nonstop review?

People are always waiting.

You wait for the slummers to come in,

the slummers wait

for the girls to go on stage,

the girls wait for the slummers

to go home to their wives.

Five shows a day, non-stop,

everybody's waiting.

That's life. We all have to wait together.

I love that Chinese philosophy.

Here come the raincoats.

You better flash those almond eyes.

- Hello, Johnny, glad to see you.

- Hi, Kakky, how's the film business?

Ah, I have very interesting plans

with Dietrich the girl, Gable the boy

and Brando for my heavy.

Good chemistry, huh?

Now, look, Kakky, do me a favour

and tap somebody else this week.

It sparkles! Something.

All I've gotta do, get these three

people and I am back in business!

Good, good. We'll all buy tickets.

Now, where the hell is Maisie? Maisie!

You know, I was the man who introduced

the bubble bath into show business!

- Well, the bubble's burst now, Dad.

- Tell Maisie to get the lead out.

Who first bathed a girl in ass's milk?

Answer me that.

When I made

The Private Life of Omar Khayyam.

- Does 10 shillings speak?

- Mmm, you'll be my associate producer.
