you break here!

You are fired!

Get your head on Maisie...

...take a dollar from the till and

put an ad in the paper right away.

What are you staring at me for?

In the morning paper?

No, I want another man right away.

Put it in the "Evening News".

What do you want?

Nothing.

Nothing.

- Where's Pop Benson?

- I haven't seen him, Larry.

Where's Pop?

Search me, Larry.

- Have you seen Pop?

- No, I haven't Larry.

- Hey, what's your hurry?

- I've got to find Pop.

The old man

hasn't shown up yet Larry.

Stevens.

Mr Gordon.

Do you know where Pop Benson is?

Never mind about Pop Benson.

You come into my office.

But I've got to find Pop.

Something's happened

I don't understand.

Something's happened that

I understand very well. You're late.

I know but when I tell you

what happened.

Let me tell you

what's going to happen...

If you're ever late

in this office again...

Mr Gordon. Who's covering

the Melba concert at the opera house?

Now don't tell me

you want to be a music critic

But suppose something happens there.

A front page story...

the biggest news of the day.

In that case, I'll send

an experienced reporter. Not you.

But I ought to be there

before it happens

You're either crazy or drunk.

Still drunk, I mean.

I'm going to show you something

that will change your mind

Your fired!

You can't fire me. I quit.

You quit? You...?

I mean, I will quit tonight

if you haven't given me a raise

A raise?

Yes, for the

biggest news story of the day

Set up a 4 column

headline right now

Bandits steal cash at opera house

while Melba sings

At ten minutes past two.

Hey, Did you get fired?

Yes, but I'm gonna get a raise.

Can I help you?

Can we all help you?

I'm looking for Mr Stevens.

Oh, I'll get him for you.

- Larry, she's here

- Who?

Don't kid me. You know who.

How did you do it?

- I forgot.

- Yeah, you forgot.

Miss Smith, this

is a day of miracles

I was just passing by Mr Stevens.

I was waiting for you.

Yes, I knew you

intended to wait so I ...

...I felt it was my duty

to tell you that...

...I can't have lunch with you.

Oh, I see.

You think we haven't known

each other long enough.

You're very understanding Mr Stevens.

Well, that's too bad, I...

I could have told you of something

wonderful that's happened.

You know why I came...

...tell me your secret.

How would you like

to hear the Melba concert?

You're changing the subject.

Oh no I'm not.

That's part of the secret.

Something is going to happen

at the opera house.

We haven't much time to get there.

Oh, I couldn't

go with you Mr Stevens.

But what's going to happen?

I'll tell you

Two Sir?

What time is it please?

Five past two.
