The Broadway Melody Page #5

Let's get smart, Sam. Where are you?

Don't let them throw you

up in the air.

I'm not gonna waste all day at it.

Give me a pickup and two choruses.

And let me tell you dames something:

If I get ahold of her, I'll rip her wide open.

Flo, what was the trouble about?

- I was beside the piano, not doing a thing...

- Wait a minute.

- I can't stand for quarreling.

- I didn't start it.

Never mind who started it. Now

run along and be a good little girl.

- Oh, all right.

- And remember, no more quarreling.

- Excuse me, Mr. Zanfield.

- Well?

I heard what you said about me.

Please, couldn't you use the both of us

at the same salary?

I might.

I think I can slip her in somewhere.

- Oh, thank you, Mr. Zanfield!

- All right.

My sister is the business manager

of the act.

You won't let on that it ain't

the both of us you want, will you?

Of course not.

- You send her over, and I'll talk to her.

- Oh, thank you!

All right.

Oh, Hank!

He can take his old show and put it

where it'll do him the most good!

Don't act like that, Hank.

He didn't see your act, that's all.

- He's a very busy man.

- Oh, he's busy?

Well, so am I busy,

with 30 weeks waiting for me.

- Now, don't get so excited over nothing.

- Hank, quick!

Mr. Zanfield wants to see you.

- Oh, yeah?

- On the level?

- Maybe we're in after all.

- Sure!

Let me handle this. I can always take care

of these things better with nobody around.

I'll talk to him.

All right, girls, we'll take this right from

the beginning. Okay, Sam, let it go.

I heard what you said to Zanny.

- You won't let on to Hank, will you, Eddie?

- Of course not.

Gee, that was wonderful of you,

Queenie.

I could kiss you for that.

You mustn't do that, Eddie.

I guess I shouldn't.

I never realized you were...

Gee, you're the sweetest little girl

I ever knew.

You mean next to Hank.

Yeah, sure.

You know, Hank's been everything

in the world to me.

She's looked after me and worked for me,

and fought for me, protected me.

I could never repay her

for all her love and care.

Of course you love her, Queenie.

And you're gonna be everything

that she wants you to be.

And I don't blame her for loving you.

Gee, but you're a cute kid.

And she loves you, Eddie.

I guess you and me are about all

she ever thinks of.

Oh, I never wanna hurt her, Eddie.

And I want her to be happy with you.

Why, Queenie, I'd rather lose my pipes

so I couldn't sing...

...and go lame so I couldn't dance

than to hurt Hank.

- Sure you would. So would I.

- Can you imagine?

- We're in! Rehearsal in the morning!

- That's great!

- I knew you'd put it over, Hank!

- Oh, just leave it to me!

I ain't booked acts for 10 years
