The Broadway Melody Page #4

- Where are they?

- Right over there, across stage.

All right, wheel them in.

- Tell George I'll take a look at the act.

- Thanks, Mr. Zanfield.

Well, kids, you all set?

Got your music?

Well, go over there and tell him

what you want.

The Baloney Sisters.

Give us the introduction pickup

and some choruses. And swell to the finish.

- But you follow us.

- Yes, ma'am.

Sam, looks like some carnival

lost a good act.

I'm gonna lay that dame

like a roll of linoleum.

- Hank, you can't pull that around here.

- Hank, don't start anything now.

- Get her in the dressing room.

- Sure. Now, come on. Get together.

- All set now?

- Oh, wait a minute.

- Don't mind if I put this down?

- No, ma'am.

I'll vamp till ready, and don't forget:

We do things intimately.

- All set.

- All set, fine. Babies, smack it over big.

You ain't got nothing to worry about.

You're as good as in now.

- I'll go and see how the boss likes it.

- All right.

Well, all right, shoot.

- Play it, will you?

- Something wrong with the piano.

- Do I have to come over and play it for you?

- Okay, go ahead.

What's the matter with them?

There's something wrong with the piano.

- Say, are you trying to crab our act?

- No, I'm not.

- Well, will you play it then, hot or cold?

- Well, go ahead then.

All right. All right, girls.

Mr. Zanfield's seen enough.

He'll let you know. Come in next Friday.

- But he ain't seen the finish yet.

- Yes. I know, all right. Line up, girls.

Oh, Mr. Zanfield, please give them a break.

You haven't seen their act.

I saw enough.

I can use the blond,

but that little cluck is out.

But don't you know it's tough

to put comedy over on a bare stage?

They'll be all right at the performance.

Give them another chance.

I know, Eddie.

Gee, kid, that's a tough break. Even if the

act is a louse, he should've seen the finish.

It ain't a louse. It's a good act.

We stopped the show

every performance we did for Jake Wells.

Yeah, the one I saw would stop a tank.

Say, you've been asking for trouble,

and now you're gonna get it.

You great big peroxide-headed dizzy blond,

you! What do you think of this act?

Hey, come here! Come here, girls!

Come here!

Let me at her, will you?

Let me at her!

Next time I'll give you a facial

instead of a scalp treatment.

- Yeah, and I'll fix you, you little peanut.

- Let go of me!

- Oh, boy, I'll sock her...

- Stop it, Hank, you're crabbing everything.

Go get your clothes on.

I'll fix everything.

The big blond baboon! Why'd she pick

on me? I didn't start any fight with her.

- Where's my music?

- Here's your music.

- Well, where's my bag?

- Now, be quiet. Be quiet, Hank!

Get in there. Straighten it out.
