Oh, you're so awfully kind, mister...

Isn't this terrible?

Here I am talking to you like this...

...unburdening myself,

and I don't even know your name.

Morty Wethered, Miss Larkin,

and it isn't terrible at all.

It's done every day.

Dinner is now being served.

Dinner now being served.

Will you take dinner with me,

Miss Larkin?

Oh, I'd be delighted.

Thank you.

First call for dinner.

First call for dinner.

Come on.

First call for dinner.

Hey, back there, wait a minute.

Well, boys, there must be more

where they came from.

Time's up. Come on, let's go.

There's one left over.

Hi, baby. Wowie, she's mine.

She's mine, I saw her first.

Hey, wait. Come here.

Come on.

Hey, wait for me, will you?

- Wait, wait.

- Just a minute. Why hurry?

- Lady, you're next.

- Excuse me.

Hey, wait a minute.

- Oh.

- Hello.

Hello.

I came in.

No, you didn't.

You couldn't, the door's locked.

Oh, yes, I'm here. I can tell.

Oh, now, don't be so positive.

I don't see a soul.

I see you're not shaving, either.

No. You got me in this lather.

Catch on?

I guess I owe you an apology

for bursting in like this.

It seems that some men

were chasing me.

What for? Oh, I mean, were they?

Yeah.

Well, thanks for the refuge.

You can't get out.

The door's still locked.

- Is it really?

- Yeah, come in and sit down.

I'll call and get the porter

and get a pass key, huh?

Is this being done in the best families?

- You're one of the Boston Bluntzingtons?

- Oh, no.

Well, then sit down.

It's comfortable there. Sit down.

All right.

Begin at the beginning.

Name, age, weight, height,

and occupation.

Name:
Norma.

Age:
You can see I'm just a baby.

Weight:
I won't discuss.

Height...

There's a spot over here

you just missed.

Oh, and you're just the right height too.

Well, I guess I better be going.

Say, the light's kind of bad in here.

Do you see any more spots?

Yes, I do.

Now, no, not that one, now.

Wait a minute. That's my pet.

I'm saving that. I mean here.

- Where did you just come from?

- Fresh from the chorus.

You mean, you do time steps

and buck routines and all that stuff?

- Uh-huh. I've been at it for three years...

- I know.

- You never lost a spangle.

- Yeah.

- Ouch.

- A little stiff.

You like that kind of work?

No, I don't.

I'm looking for a job right now.

What kind of a job?

Oh, there must be someplace

where you work and get paid for it.

Say, maybe I can fix that.

Yeah, look.

Here's my card.

Rosmer Peek. That's me.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

I'm ace salesman

for Good Life Insurance Company.

Anything I say around the plant goes. Give

this to Mr. Callahan, he'll give you a job.

- You're nice to do this.
