I want you to be yourself.

Then what the devil

are you trying to change me for?

I'm not trying to change you,

I'm trying to paint you.

Now, there.

That's the position.

Well, I'm warning you.

For being a model, $2 an hour is okay.

But for being an experiment,

the sky is the limit.

The ceiling seems to be your limit.

Goody, goody, goody.

Let's fight.

Quit the clowning and let's get to work.

Please hold still just a minute.

- How do you do, Miss Collins?

- Hello, George.

- The roof for Miss Collins.

- Yes.

Billy, have you seen Jerry's new model?

No, and I'm only calling on him

for engaging a model without my approval.

Be careful when you stop this car.

I'm a little weak in the hoses, you know.

Yes, sir.

Anything else you don't like about me?

Since you ask, if you ask, plenty.

I don't like these clothes you're wearing.

What do I wear, bathing suits?

- I don't look so bad in a bathing suit.

- I daresay.

Well I'm not interested.

I want you to wear something simple

when you come up here.

- A kimono?

- No, not a kimono.

Here, I'll show you.

There.

Something like that.

Oh, I catch you.

You want me in character.

- Bergdorf's is going to see this girl.

- Get a dress like that!

Will you pay for it?

Yes, now get in there

and wash your face.

Ok, ok, ok.

I'll start this thing over again.

It's all right with me, Rembrandt.

I'll wear all the clothes

you wanna buy me.

I could use a couple of dresses

and a pair of silk stockings right now.

Familiar words.

Well.

Oh, hello, dearie.

- Standish!

- Hiya, Jerry.

- Hi, dear.

- Hi, darling.

What's the idea of engaging

a model without my... okay?

Well, er...

Oh, my error.

- Arnold is the name.

- Miss Arnold, Miss Collins. Mr. Standish.

How do you do?

Charmed.

Take a good look. It's free.

Okay, Jerry.

Well, got a lot of new clothes, eh?

What are you going to call

this new opera, Jerry?

Oh, Hope, I guess.

From the way I've been

stretching my neck,

this picture oughta be

called the lost Zeppelin.

Quite a humorist, isn't she, dearie?

Come over here, Miss Arnold.

Let me have a look at you.

Perhaps I can suggest a better title.

Well? How do you like it?

- I like it.

- You would.

Tell me. Is it customary for an artist

to purchase the wardrobe of his model?

That depends on the model.

Napoleon Brandy. Where did you get it?

- The old venue. Three bottles.

- Sorry, I'm an orphan.

Jerry, how long is this new picture

going to take?

Oh, I don't know.

You can't put the time clock

on these things.

What's the matter,

aren't things working out?

I can't seem to get started.

For a while I had a great idea.

I guess I got the wrong model.
