Robbed! Cleaned out!
Nine thousand nine hundred
and sixty-seven dollars.
Precisely as I told you
over the telephone.
And that girl did it. Marion Holland!
That's the girl. Marion Holland!
- Can you describe her, Mr Strutt?
- Certainly I can.
Five feet five.
A hundred and ten pounds.
Size eight dress.
Blue eyes. Black, wavy hair.
Even features. Good teeth.
- (Chuckling)
- What's so damn funny?
There's been a grand larceny
committed on these premises!
Yes, sir. You were saying,
ah, black hair,
wavy, even features, good teeth.
- She was in your employ 4 months?
- Mmm.
What were her references, sir?
Well, as a matter of fact -
Yes, uh,
she had references, I'm sure.
Oh, Mr Strutt, don't you remember?
She didn't have any references at all.
Well, she worked the
copying and adding machines.
No confidential duties.
(Strutt) Mr Rutland.
I didn't know you were in town.
Just had a robbery. Almost $10,000.
So I gathered. By a pretty girl
with no references.
You remember her. I pointed her out to
you last time you were here.
You said something about how I was
improving the looks of the place.
Oh, that one!
The brunette with the legs.
Excuse me. Mr Rutland's a client.
I don't think you've got time
to discuss business today, Mr Strutt,
what with your crime wave
on your hands.
Oh, no, no. Always time for
Rutland business. You know that.
How are things in Philadelphia?
The little witch! I'll have her
put away for 20 years!
I knew she was too good to be true.
Always so eager to work
overtime, never made a mistake.
Always pulling her skirt
down over her knees
as though they were
a national treasure.
She seemed so nice, so efficient.
- So -
- Resourceful?

Hello, Mrs Maitland.
Oh, so nice to have you back,
Miss Edgar.
- We put you in your same room.
- Thank you, Mrs Maitland.
Can someone drive me over
to Garrod's right away?
- Of course. Anytime you're ready.
- Soon as I change.
How do, Miss Edgar?
Good to have you back.
Hello, Mr Garrod.
Ah, there's my darling!
(Garrod) That big spoiled baby
of yours knew something was up.
Tried to bite me twice
already this morning.
Forio, if you want
to bite somebody, bite me.
Thanks.
(Girls) # Mother, Mother, I am ill.
# Send for the doctor over the hill.
# Call for the doctor.
Call for the nurse.
# Call for the lady
with the alligator purse.
# Mumps said the doctor.
Measles said the nurse.
# Nothing said the lady
with the alligator purse. #
Thank you.
(Girls) One, two, three,
four, five, six -
Oh, it's you. Where's my mother?
She's makin' a pecan pie... for me!
That figures.
(Woman) Who is it, Jessie?
- Hello, Mama.
- Well, I just swan. Marnie!
If you're not the very limit.
I can't take in the way you jump
all over the place like you do.

I brought you
some chrysanthemums.
Those gladiolas are brand fresh.
Miss Cotton brought 'em last night.
I never could stand gladiolas.
I ' ll get rid of these.
For land's sake - Marnie,
now watch the dripping.
Here, Jessica, why don't you
take these home to your mother?
She don't get home from work till 6::00.
I'm supposed to stay here till 6::00.
Take them to the kitchen then.
Just get rid of them.
Take 'em to the kitchen
before they drip all over.
We could stand gladiolas!
I send you plenty of money.
