On the Avenue Page #5

---

Hey, listen to this.

"Dear Mr Blake, when you called me

a poor sport, I was too angry to argue,

but now I've had a chance to cool off and

I'd like to prove to you that you are wrong. "

"How about supper tonight?"

Signed Mimi Caraway. What do you think?

- She wants something.

- I'll tell you something.

Whether they got a million dollars or work

in a store, that dame is after publicity.

Oh, I don't think so.

She probably wants to say she's sorry.

But the lady is still waiting,

wanting an answer, Mr Blake.

- The lady wants an answer?

- Yeah, she's here.

- Now, what will we tell the lady?

- She's got a big car.

Tell the lady "Why not?"

Why not how, Mr Blake?

Tell the lady "Why not?"

Why not? Why not.

You're letting yourself in for another slap.

Don't worry. This time I'll duck. I hope.

- Hey, there.

- Oh, hello, Mona.

Say, you're kind of gotten up.

Well, I just got a little date for supper.

Oh.

Well, I was kind of hoping we'd go to Tony's

and have spaghetti together.

But white tie, top hat - kind of looks

like you've changed your appetite.

Now, look, you know how I feel about

society. I can take it or leave it.

Well, good night.

Don't forget to use the right fork.

Right, and I won't shake hands

with the head waiter.

See you tomorrow.

- Good night, Frank.

- Good night, Gary.

- Whose car is that?

- Mimi.

Mimi Caraway's car.

Looks like Gary's stepping out

in society tonight.

About last night. I'm sorry.

- Forget it. About that sketch in our show...

- Forget it.

All right.

Shall we forget everything

and make a fresh start?

- As if we'd never met before.

- A couple of strangers alone in the big city.

You don't know me and I don't know you.

- We've never even heard of each other.

- Exactly.

- I think we make a very handsome couple.

- I was just thinking that myself.

- I'm sorry.

- Hello, Mimi.

- Hello.

- Mimi, dear, how are you?

- When did you get back?

- About a week ago.

I called you up three times last week.

Oh, I want you to meet Mr...

- By the way, what is your name?

- Hasenpfeffer.

Oh, yes. Hasenpfeffer.

Mr Hasenpfeffer, Mr and Mrs Warren.

- How do you do?

- Awfully happy to know you.

- Thank you.

- I beg your pardon.

- Well, Gary. How have you been?

- Hello, Jack.

- Fine. Mary, how are you?

- Fine.

- May I present Miss... What is your name?

- Hasenpfeffer.

- Miss Hasenpfeffer, Mr and Mrs Jackson.

- How do you do?

She is of the old, old, old Hasenpfeffers.

- Oh, of Philadelphia?

- And Boston.

- Well, we'll see you later for a cup of tea?

- All right, Gary. Goodbye.

Let's go bowling.

Don't go away, folks.

- This the place?

- This is the joint. All right, Binns, open up.
