Swing Time Page #3

I'm awfully sorry.

Yes, I know.

You've been trying so hard to avoid me.

All right, give it back.

- Give what back?

- The quarter you stole from my purse.

Come on, will you?

Hand it over or I'll call a policeman.

I haven't got it.

I gave it to you at the cigarette machine.

- Officer.

- Come on. Let's go, will you?

No, wait a minute.

What seems to be the trouble?

Good morning, sir.

Officer, this man stole a quarter

from my purse. Make him give it back.

Now, miss, does he look like a man

who would steal quarters?

- That's just what I said to the lady.

- Imagine...

I don't care what you think he looks like.

I know he stole my quarter.

Now you run along, sister...

before I run you in

for disturbing the peace.

But, Officer, he took my...

That'll be enough.

Run along now, you're obstructing traffic.

Why, you Cossack.

Officer, you had no right

to speak to that little girl that way.

I suppose you're going to tell me

what my duty is.

Not at all, but...

Listen, guys like you pay me

to protect them from screwy dames.

That's fine, but in this instance

I'm sure you were wrong.

So now I'm wrong.

You ought to thank me for what I've done.

- All right, thank you.

- All right.

What did you say?

I said, look out for the great big ditch.

Pop, why didn't you tell me you had it?

In front of the cop?

I would've been accused of stealing it.

Give me that.

Wait for me.

Miss Carrol!

Hello, kids.

No wonder this school is losing money.

Everybody late every morning.

Any more dilly-dallying and

some of you will lose your jobs.

Yes, and that goes for you girls, too.

Anybody would think

I had nothing else to do, but nothing.

One would.

Miss Anderson, good morning.

If you're late again, you'll be fired, too.

That's final. I have nothing more to say.

That's good.

- Is that you, Mabel?

- I don't know. Tell me, is it?

- Kind of sounds like you.

- That's a load off my mind.

I'm never sure these days.

- Did you see a young...

- Visitors make the pupils self-conscious.

Would you mind waiting a second, please?

Thank you very much.

Miss Anderson, come quickly.

Please.

He's hissing at me again, the swan.

And good morning to you, too.

- Are you interested in the dance?

- I came here to see if I...

All the world loves a dancer.

To know how to dance...

Is to know how to control oneself.

Thanks. You saved me a lot of breath.

Our course is $45.

But the first lesson is given free...

to see if the prospective student

has any real aptitude.

That's why our school is so successful.

We never refuse the $45.

- I mean...

- You never let a pupil get away.

I understand.

We don't fool anybody.

Have you any preference as to the type
