Swing Time Page #5

One, two, three. Turn.

Let's try it again from the beginning.

One, two, three. Turn.

- I'm getting it, aren't I?

- Yes.

Again.

One, two, three. Turn.

Now you've got it.

I can't teach you anything.

All right, I'll show you again.

Remember, three steps to the left...

three steps to the right and turn.

One, two, three.

Listen, no one could teach you

to dance in a million years.

- Take my advice and save your money.

- Miss Carrol.

How do you think this school can exist

if you turn away applicants?

- You're discharged.

- But, Mr...

Get your things and go.

- But I...

- Get out.

That's quite all right, don't you worry.

I'll find you another instructress.

You stay right there.

So this is the way you treat

your customers?

I certainly don't treat them to sandwiches.

Get out of here.

Miss Anderson,

what is the meaning of this?

What's gotten

into everybody this morning?

My sandwich got into him.

You're fired.

Okay, swivel puss.

It might interest you to know

that I've also discharged Miss Carrol.

You've discharged Penny? Why?

Why, for no reason at all. Please see her.

But she said

she couldn't teach you anything.

She was trying to flatter me.

She's the most wonderful

little teacher I've ever heard of.

Miss Carrol, I want to show Mr. Gordon

how much you just taught me.

No, never mind.

Thank you. That's very sweet of you.

I'm anxious for Mr. Gordon to see this.

It's an interesting experiment.

How did you say that last step went?

Shall we try it right through?

Won't you sit down, Mr. Gordon?

Wait!

Sheer heaven, my dears, sheer heaven!

- Is she still fired?

- Fired?

You took me too seriously, both of you.

Just you wait there for one moment.

Hey, he got her job back for her.

Wasn't that swell?

What one man can do, another man can.

All right, Al. Thank you.

Now listen, I've just made

an appointment for you for a tryout...

with Mr. Simpson,

the owner of the Silver Sandal.

The Silver Sandal!

That's wonderful, isn't it?

It certainly is.

Penny, you wear your white lam gown.

That's how I see you. You in white,

and Mr. Garnett here in dinner clothes.

- Dinner clothes?

- Yes, certainly.

You'll do it? You'll be there?

Now do you think I could disappoint you?

I'll be there.

You are still fired!

Pop, you can pay the cab.

- Have you got change for $10?

- I have.

Thanks.

Here you are, buddy. You keep that.

Now I don't want you to worry

about losing your job.

I'll take care of you.

Yes, but I'll take care of my own $10.

Wouldn't you like to double it?

Sure, I love to gamble

if I'm sure I'm going to win.

- The trouble is, you lose sometimes.

- No. We always win.

Why didn't you say that in the first place?
