My Sister Eileen Page #4

- Hi, baby. You have a hard night?

Yeah, it was pretty busy.

Think llI go to bed now.

I made you something to eat.

Its in the kitchen.

- Thanks, honey.

- You have a good days sleep.

- All righty. See you later.

- Okay.

Here, let me give you a hand.

Thanks, Wreck.

By the way, heres the grocery list.

Are you sure you dont mind?

No, of course not.

I got to go to the store anyway.

Heres the money.

I think that ought to be enough.

In case it isnt, take off the cookies

and the soft drinks.

Were on an awfully tight budget.

I know what you mean.

Since Im out of work...

Helen makes me

watch the pennies pretty close.

- What kind of work you out of?

- I play pro football during the season.

- What do you do the rest of the year?

- I usually wrestle, but I got suspended.

- Why?

- Overacting.

Really.

How about you girls?

You got any connections here in town?

Yeah. I have a letter of introduction

to the editor of Manhatter magazine.

- Thats good. How about Eileen?

- Eileen doesnt need a letter.

Im all ready. Do I look all right?

- I cant remember when you didnt.

- You look beautiful.

Any producer

that wouldnt hire you is a girl.

Thanks, Wreck. I dont know

where to go or how to get started.

Most of the actors around here

read Variety to see whats going on.

If were gonna do it, lets do it.

- Yeah.

- Which way to the subway?

Lts right up the... Come on, llI show you.

Its right up at this corner.

Remember, you take the uptown train.

- This corner?

- Thats right.

- Good luck, you guys.

- Bye.

Good morning, darlings.

Did you have a good nights sleep?

Sure. For a place with a bad location

and no neon sign...

- we did a whale of a business.

- Theres no hot water in the shower.

Thats why you look so cool and refreshed.

- I assume youre off to seek employment?

- Yes. I guess we better get started.

Youth. You have this great metropolis...

grovelling at your feet

like a passionate lover.

Thats what I thought when I left Ohio,

but now Im scared.

- Youre not alone, honey.

- Pish-tosh!

There are only two things you need

in this troubled world to succeed.

A:
Confidence. B: Patience.

Take me, for example.

Im sure that Im a genius

So I havent any fears

I never get discouraged and downhearted

I havent sold a painting

And Ive tried for 20 years

Hes just a little slow getting started

Im great, but no one knows it

No one knows it but me

Im great

And yet I just cant get the critics to agree

My works are masterpieces

Like Picassos and Matisses

Youre certainly an artist

When it comes to drawing leases

Im just as great as he is

But they call me the worst

But when I lose a match
