How to Marry a Millionaire Page #4

that's gonna get us?

I don't think it's us.

I think it's the men these days.

They're getting more and more nervous,

especially the loaded ones.

Meanwhile, where are

we gonna sit next week?

Well, we're both trying, you know.

It isn't always easy

to find out right away

how much they're worth

or if they're married or not.

They look at you like you're

prying into their private affairs.

Something's got to break soon,

or we're gonna be out on the sidewalk.

And all we need, you know,

is just one.

That's the beautiful thing

about a bear trap.

You don't have to catch

a whole herd of them,

all you need is

one nice, big, fat one.

Probably Miss Perth Amboy again

with another load of dollar-day Kleenex.

Thanks.

- Oh, hello, Schatze.

- Hello.

This is... I'm sorry.

What did you say your name was?

- Hanley. J.D. Hanley.

- Of course.

This is Schatze Page,

and this is Pola Debevoise.

- How do you do?

- How do you do, ladies?

I met Mr. Hanley

in the mink department at Bergdorf's.

- Really?

- Yes, the clerk was nice enough to...

You'll have to excuse

the state of this apartment.

We've just sent everything out

to be cleaned.

But if you don't mind

coming into the dining room.

Oh, of course not.

And with the maid off today,

we're roughing it, you might say.

- Won't you sit down?

- Oh, thank you very much, but I can't stay.

I just came along to help

Miss Dempsey with her bundle.

Mr. Hanley's from Dallas, Texas.

Oh, really?

In the oil business?

Oh, a little oil, but mostly stock.

- Stocks and bonds?

- No, none of that sort of thing for me.

My stock is

white-faced Hereford, polled.

- Come again?

- Cattle.

- You know, like cows.

- Oh, I see.

Are you sure you won't sit down

for just a little while?

Oh, I haven't time right now. But what

I was talking to Miss Dempsey about,

there's a little organization that

I'm a member of, the Oil Institute.

Kind of elder statesmen

of the business.

We're having a little informal

reception tonight.

If you young ladies would

honor us with your presence,

I'm sure you'd make us

all very happy, indeed.

Do you mean

nothing but oil men?

Well, not exactly.

Probably a few bankers too.

Well, bankers will be all right.

- Don't you think?

- Naturally.

I realize this is a little sudden

and unconventional,

but there will be dancing and

a few drinks and a few laughs perhaps.

- Sounds just creamy to me.

- like laughs.

- Well, then it's a deal?

- 'd love it.

That's wonderful. I'll pick you up

around 8:
30, if that's all right.

Will we meet some of

the other gentlemen too?

Oh, all of them. And don't worry,

they're not all old crooks like me.

- What on earth!
