Good evening.

Mr. Wroxton.

Well, Ellen.

You're looking very smart this evening.

Thank you.

Rather a bit of luck for you, eh?

Promoted to Mrs. Winfield's personal maid.

And you get ninety a month, now.

Thank you.

How much do I give to you?

Oh, nothing.

You keep it. You may need it for something.

Well, I'd rather do what the

other servants do.

Ellen.

I told you I was going to make

an exception of you.

After all, you're an exceptional girl.

That dress is most becoming to you.

I suppose you're going into the city?

Yes.

This is my night out.

Well, there's no particular hurry, is there?

Well, I..

There's several things I want to

talk to you about.

Won't you sit down?

Brandy?

No thank you.

But this is really special brandy.

I think you'll like it.

No thank you, really.

I don't care for it.

I'm interested in you, my dear.

Very much interested.

Thank you. I uh..

I've tried to do my work as well as I could.

I want you to uh..

I want you to get ahead.

In every way.

[door knocks]

Yes, who is it?

Excuse me. Come on honey,

or we'll miss that bus.

Yeah, I uh. I have to go now.

Goodnight.

Yeah, goodnight boss. Pleasant dreams.

Goodnight.

Phew. That was a narrow escape.

Hey, this is the first blind-date

I've ever had.

I hope that boyfriend of yours brings

someone who can really dance.

Well, the last time he brought a corporal of the

marines and he was as handsome as Gable.

And Gable ain't bad.

I'll say not.

I beg your pardon, miss.

I think you dropped this back there.

Oh gee, I didn't know I dropped it.

Oh thank you so much.

Oh that's alright.

I thought you might like to have it back.

I'll say I would.

Well, uh. would you like to dance?

Oh. Oh, no thanks really.

You see, I'm waiting for someone.

Oh, I see.

Hey, that was awful nice of him.

My whole month's salary is in there.

Oh, you were lucky that time.

Now take care of it.

Hey, there he is. Hey, Smiley! Come on.

Hi! Hello Smiley!

Hi, Gracie.

Well, here we are.

Okay.

Don't bother to get up, dear.

This is the girlfriend I was telling

you about. Miss Ellen Neal.

Hello little lady.

How do you do.

Smiley Watson's the name.

Any friend of Grace's is tea-for-two with me.

You see.

Sit right down.

Have I got a surprise for you.

Hey Gus O. Come here!

Hiya Gus!

Girls, meet Gus Rilotvitch.

Champion wrestler of the Navy.

Gus, say hello to the girls.

Go on. Say hello.

Hello.

The boy is smart as a whip.

Sit right down, Gus.

Come on. Sit down boy. Come on Gus.

Turn on the old personality

and liven up the party.

This will be something.

Ohhh, come on Gus. Say something!

Argghhhh.. say something!

For heaven's sake, say something.
