How are you, Chuck?
Hello, Gorgeous. Oh, say, your
daughter's looking for you.
Oh, thanks.
I'll take the next bus.
Okay, Gorgeous.
Oh, hello, Mother.
Who're you doubling today?
Lydia Flickham
in an aerial act.
Be careful.
Say, I thought you were
supposed to be rehearsing.
I haven't even started yet.
Well, you knock them over in that
rehearsal and I'll let you support me.
Uncle Bill said if he sells the
script, you won't have to work anymore.
Oh, your Uncle Bill is too good.
We owe him too much already.
Look what I found
this morning.
Close your eyes.
Wish.
Was that a buptkie!
You're about to fall heir
to a kitters stocking.
What's a kitters stocking?
A sock on the puss.
Another buptkie.
Raspberries!
Raspberries!
Raspberries!
Raspberries!
Raspberries!
Hiya, tootie pie.
Everything under control?
Who are you talking to?
All five of them
hit me at once.
Hi.
It's a lucky thing
I recognized you.
I thought it was that guy
coming back again.
I was about to
clout your brains out.
How about a part in this new
picture you're going to do?
Go away or I'll kill you.
You're all right.
You're all set.
Thank you, Mr. Fields.
How would you
like to hide the egg
and gurgitate a few
saucers of mocha java?
No, thanks.
I've just had breakfast.
Oh, you have, eh? Well, call
me up at sometime at the house.
What time?
Oh, a couple o'clock.
Good morning, beautiful.
What do you hear
from Garcia?
A ringer!
Got a menu?
Thank you. Thank you.
Is there any goulash
on this menu?
That's roast beef gravy.
Oh, it's roast beef gravy.
Is that steak
New York cut?
What about...
No extra charge
for the cold shower, I hope.
Do you think
it's too hot for pork chops?
That practically eliminates
everything but ham and eggs.
Forgot about that.
No ham?
Two fomented eggs
in a glass.
Cup.
Yes. Cup.
And some whole wheat...
White.
Some white bread, yes.
And a... Get away from there.
And a cup of
mocha java with cream.
Milk.
Milk. Yes, that's fine.
Two in the water! Easy!
I don't know
why I ever come in here.
Flies get
the best of everything.
Go away. Go away.
Get away. Go on.
Oh, yes, Mr. Pangborn.
Yes, we just made it.
Yes, I'll have Gloria Jean
ready whenever you say.
All right.
Thank you, Mr. Pangborn.
And another thing, you're
always squawking about something.
If it isn't the steak,
it's something else.
I didn't squawk
about the steak, dear.
I merely said
I didn't see that old horse
that used to be
tethered outside here.
You're as funny
as a cry for help.
You also pulled that old gag about
breaking your fork in the gravy.
I didn't say anything about
breaking the fork in the gravy.
Usert you be
an old Folies girl?
You know, there's something
awfully big about you.
Thank you, dear.
Thank you, dear.
Your nose.
Something awfully big
about you, too.
Hiya, Tiny.
Hiya, Joe.
Give me a cup of jamo.
What's the amount
of the insult?
That'll be 35 cents.
Thirty-five cents.
Thank you.
Have you any
imported cigars?
Stingaroos. Four for a nickel.
Oh, that's fine
as long as they're imported.
You know, if anybody ever comes
in here and gives you a $10 tip,
scrutinize it carefully
because there's a lot of
counterfeit money going around.
I'll give you the dough.
Don't... Here. There.
If I get any counterfeit nickels or
pennies, I'll know where they came from.
You're so clever.
Who told you I was clever?
All your friends
at the studio told me.
Oh, drat! I told them
not to tell you.
And another thing. Don't
be so free with your hands.
Listen, honey, I was only
trying to guess your weight.
You take things too seriously.
Baloney, mahoney, malarkey,
you big kabloona!
Kabloona? I haven't been
called that for two days.
I suffered from
high blood pressure for years.
Then I lost my dough
and I had to give it up.
Very comical.
Look at that hat.
It's nice. That's fine.
Arert you a little confused?
Uh...
In which way?
Your hat.
Thanks 1,000 times, yes.
Mistook it.
Thank you.
Excuse me, blimpie pie.
I forgot to take
the cellophane off.
Very fortunate
it didn't burn my hat.
One, two, three,
four, five...
One, two...
With a hot
cha cha and a boop boop de doop
And a scaddily,
daddily, dinky dee
You can dig, dig, dug
while you cut a rug
When you waddily,
daddily, doodle with me
With a hot cha cha
and a boop boop de doop
And a scaddily,
daddily, dinky dee
You can dig, dig, dug
while you cut a rug
When you waddily, daddily,
doodle with me
With a hot cha cha
and a boop boop de doop
And a scaddily,
daddily, dinky dee
You can dig, dig, dug
while you cut a rug
When you waddily,
daddily, doodle with me
Johnson!
Johnson!
Johnson!
Quiet!
All right, Gloria Jean,
we'll rehearse the number.
You know, we have to get
this set finished by morning.
Well, what am I
supposed to do about it?
Let my men
continue working.
They only have to stop
while we rehearse.
Now, I'll give you one whistle for
quiet and two whistles to resume work.
Is that okay,
Mr. Pangborn?
Well...
Quiet!
This...
This is not the song
that you are to sing.
This is the song
Uncle Bill told me to sing.
Uncle who?
Mr. Fields.
Swish swash.
This is the number
that you are to sing.
All right...
Quiet!
Quiet!
Johnson.
Why do I have to work
on a stage as busy as this
