of your lunch appointment.

Yes, thank you, Miss Medwick.

Bye-bye, dear.

May see you at dinner.

Glad you see it my way.

Come along, bring your notebook.

This is not only lunch, it's business.

-Would you please sign these?

-Oh, yes, yes.

That's a wonderful perfume.

Don't believe we carry that

in our stores.

-Would you mind telling me what it is?

-lt's called Tonight or Never.

lt's your photo. A messenger brought it

from the Baker Travel Agency.

A lot of good it'll do me now.

-Maybe we'd better put it in stock.

-Oh, yes, sir.

Well, if you don't want it,

l'd be glad to keep it as a souvenir.

You're sweet.

Excuse me.

Would you mind finishing?

-Hello, dear.

-Hello, Uncle Lazlo.

Your hat is on crooked.

lt's supposed to be that way.

l guess you heard Michael

cannot go to South America.

Uncle Lazlo, couldn't you handle

this deal yourself?

No, darling, l cannot do anything

without Michael.

l am the president of the company, but

he is my brains in the drugstore business.

When l started in this business

nobody was helping me.

No. l was a soda jerker.

l was such a thin boy,

my boss was such a guy.

One mistake, l got a punch in the nose.

But now it is different.

l am the success,

so he does all the work.

No, no, no, l cannot let Michael go,

not for a day.

He's the great business head.

l didn't marry Mike

for his business head.

He's so attractive,

but he's such a wolf.

Don't you think it's a little strange

that this business deal should pop up...

...the same morning

he hires a beautiful new secretary?

l know what you are insinuating,

but you are 90 percent wrong.

What about the other 10 percent?

Oh, well, l'm not saying that Michael

has not looked at another woman.

Who hasn't?

l have looked at women,

and the few that looked back, l married.

That cured me of looking.

l will tell you what, l still like women,

but l stopped looking.

Well, that isn't me.

ls there a phone number

on the back? Let me see.

-A nice girl.

-l thought you'd stopped looking.

Why, l know who that is.

That's that girl in the agency.

She's quite a character.

Elvira, dear, why not forget about Michael

and take this trip yourself. Why?

And leave him here

with a free hand? Oh, no.

Don't be silly.

Even if you were here...

...if Michael wanted to play around

in a city like New York...

...with a little caution:

lf he thought l was away,

he wouldn't bother about being careful.

How l'd love to go to South America

and catch Michael here.

My dear niece, not only is it impossible,

but it cannot be done.

Uncle.

-What?

-l think l have an idea.

What--? What idea?

Get me the Baker Travel Agency,

and l wanna speak to Charles, please.
