Hi.
Hello.
Hmm. Better luck
with your shoes off?
Ha.
You waiting to see me?
- Okay. Who are you?
- I'm Pete. Pete Morgan, the manager.
Good. Can you manage me
a room in a hotel? I'm tired.
Well, uh, it's kind of tough.
But, uh, I have a little place upstairs
while you're waiting, if you're tired.
What did you say your name was?
- Pete. It's a tricky name.
- Pete what?
- Morgan.
- Well, Mr. Morgan, I'd be very happy...
if you'd just get Jefty for me.
Oh, well, Jefty
I usually, uh, handle the details.
Is that so? Well, I'm Lil Stevens,
new entertainer from Chicago.
Right now I'd like to sleep.
Oh. The new equipment.
- What do you do to entertain?
- Oh, didn't Jefty tell you?
No, but I can guess. I know Jefty.
Isn't this small stuff
for a good performer?
Not at the money I'm getting.
- Well, I got a small voice.
- Besides, who said I was good?
- What'd he promise to pay you?
Too much. About twice
what I usually get.
And how much is that?
You son of a gun.
- You did. You surprised me.
- I did?
Well, what do you think of Lily?
- Was I smart to get her?
- Very smart.
- Come on, Jefty. How about that hotel?
- In a minute, honey.
- She'll be a knockout in the bar, won't she?
- Oh, sure.
I'll get you a place.
But first, uh, have a drink.
Meet the help.
I kept the bar open for you.
Okay. I could do with
Come on, Pete.
Let's celebrate.
Here it is, honey-And it's all Jefty's.
Oh, Susie, come here.
I want you to meet Lily Stevens,
our new entertainer.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Take her over to Sam
and introduce her to the bar.
- I'll get you a room.
- Fine.
You know, you two
are gonna like each other.
Yeah, we already have
something in common. Same barber.
What do you do?
Sing? Play the piano?
Mm-hmm. Something like that.
Sam? This is Miss Lily Stevens...
our new attraction from Chicago.
Jefty says give her
anything she wants.
Always.
- Always is a long time. Glad to know you, Lil.
- Same here, Sam.
- What'll it be?
- Scotch.
- Soda?
- Straight. Got a cigarette?
- Yeah, sure.
- It's quite a deal you've got here, huh?
Yeah, nice bunch.
Bottoms up.
- How's Chicago?
- Okay.
- Got a nickel?
- Yeah, sure.
The name is Miss Lily Stevens.
That's right.
She'll be over in a little while.
Okay, kid. Thanks.
- I got Lily a room.
- Antlers Hotel, room 12, large double.
- Same old room?
- Aw, now, Pete.
- Don't you ever learn?
- But this gal is different.
What's the matter with the hometown talent?
They're easy to handle.
Last year those entertainers from Kansas City, St. Louis
- Remember the trouble?
- Now, wait-
- Okay, you're the boss.
But don't ask me to dump 'em
when you're tired.
Tired?
Pete, you don't understand.
I can't get anywhere near Lily.
- How much do we pay her?
- Two-fifty.
Two-fifty? And I'm supposed
to make this place show a profit?
- There goes my percentage.
- But if she don't deliver, she goes.
Yeah, boy she must
have been hard to get.
- How many weeks?
- Six.
- But as I said, if she don't deliver, she has to go.
- Six weeks.
Oh, come on, now.
Stop spoiling my fun.
I know I shouldn't mix business with
pleasure. That's why I've got you around.
Hey, come on.
- Hey, Jefty.
- Yeah?
- Miller wants to see you in the poolroom.
- Okay.
Go on inside and get friendly.
You made a bad impression.
Hey, Art. Get Jefty's station wagon
around the front.
- Ah, ah.
- Got to cheat a little, Sam.
Your troubles are over, Miss Stevens.
