but it's not much good.

You're just getting home?

You wouldn't call this dump home,

would you?

I'm surprised you speak to me

for bringing you here.

Still in love this morning?

Would you come to the city hall

at 12:
00 today?

- Bridesmaid?

- I don't know anybody else.

Sure, baby, sure.

I'm a sucker for fires and accidents.

Oh, gee, thanks.

Let me look at you.

Seems to me, I remember once being

just as silly as you look

about somebody or something.

Can't just remember.

- 12:
00.

- Thanks.

- Hello, bella. Just falling in?

- A hard night at the office.

All guys that sing in bathrooms

should be shot in cold blood.

Say, what did you do?

Wake up lonesome?

There you go, always belittling.

Listen, Dolly, with a voice like that,

he's sure to sit in his own lap.

Not what you want on those long, cold

sleeper jumps from Oregon and Montana.

- Why, I'm an artist, I'll have you know.

- You're telling me.

Remember that handsome bellboy

in Schenectady?

I suppose you took him to Buffalo

because he wanted to see Niagara Falls.

No, that was a couple of other fellows.

Excuse me, darling, but I've got

to be a bridesmaid again, and at 12:00.

Hey!

Go into your dance and make it soft-shoe!

I didn't know I was making

so much noise. I'm sorry.

Oh, don't apologize to me. I enjoyed it.

Who yelled at me, then?

Do I look as though I'd say

anything as rude as that?

No.

No, indeed.

- Were you waiting to get in here?

- Mmm-mmm.

I was waiting to get a look at you.

Want to see

if I look as bad as I sound, huh?

- No. I'm Dolly Merrick.

- Oh, yeah?

Well, I'm Tommy Wallace,

not that that cuts any ice.

Oh, there's no ice around here.

I got warm just listening to you.

Now, I'm not trying to flirt with you.

That's too bad.

I'm taking a chance you might want a job

as much as I want somebody like you

to fill one.

Job?

- I was just going out looking for one.

- You don't say.

Now, you'd have gone around New York

looking for me,

and I'd have just pounded my heels down

looking for somebody like you.

We might have missed each other.

Well, here we are.

Yep,

here we are.

Just where are we?

Well, I've been looking for a lad

to sing in my act.

- Act?

- I told you, I'm Dolly Merrick.

Say, listen, I just hit New York last night.

I've been working seven years

in a factory, on the level.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You wanna come in

and sing that chorus for me again?

- Want to get someone yelling at me again?

- Let me worry about that.

Relax, kid, relax.

You don't have to be Caruso's ghost.

Go ahead, nothing to it.

I'm rooting for you.

That's great.

I've got to take the 10:00 train

for Hartford.
