One Youll never make it

that way, Izzy.

...Ill have a headache.

No, wait a minute. The drinks

Its ok with me, boys, I dont care

how many drinks you mooch of me,...

...but youve been laying

down on my space lately.

Why dont you kick

in with some notices?

- Go jump in the lake.

- I cant swim.

The journals have given

you plenty of publicity in...

...the last 2 years, but you

ain't so crazy about it!

Why, boys, this is a new deal, ain't it?

Well, Arlene Bradford,

it's good to see you again.

- I thought you'd forgotten us.

- Well, aint' that Joe,...

- ... it's marvellous to be here.

- Come this way.

Come on, boys, head it up for Arlene.

Hello, Arlene.

- Thanks, Bill.

- That's all right.

Gee, Arlene Bradford and Spencer Carlton.

I haven't seen her in a night-club

since they became engaged.

Oh, a perfect set up from here, perfect.

Hello, Arlene.

Where have you been lately?

Hello, dear, it's good to see you.

Well, Joe, same old place!

Same old place, but your

old friends have missed you.

- That's encouraging.

- Of course we've been glad to hear about...

...your engagement but it's

sure been bad for business.

- Hello, Arlene.

- Hello, Tony.

- Tony, this is a pleasant surprise.

- Val, what are you doing here?

Spencer, you know Tony Sterling.

- Of course, how are you?

- Hello, Carlton.

- Won't you sit down?

- Thanks.

- Have a cigarette?

- Thank you.

- Hello, Arlene.

- Hello, Dick.

- What do we play for you?

- Oh, let's have...

..."Why don't I dream those dreams"?

All right. You can have anything you want

in this place, you know that, don't you?

That's a rash promise.

Anything you want, Arlene.

All this hobnobbing,...

- ...that's why I didn't want to come here.

- They're just good pals of mine,...

Don't crap, darling, don't be a whim!

Let's dance.

City desk, Gertrude

Hello, Joe, this is Archie. They got

a hot little squib on Arlene Bradford.

Back on the primrose path and acting

as mentor to her little sister.

Yeah, make it spicy.

When did you start

running around with Arlene?

Please, Charlie, don't think

Arlene is a bad influence.

Her engagement proved a marvellous

thing. She is really a dear.

You'd never know Arlene,

she's changed entirely.

It's about time.

Hey, society! Who's the

gal dancing with Tony?

She's the only real Bradford

daughter. Arlene's her stepsister.

She must be respectable.

I never saw her before.

I picked Arlene off the blather

for everything. From speeding...
