The Devil and Miss Jones Page #6

And yet, now.

White haired...

Friendless...

He faces another employer.

Who will use him.

and when he's through with him,

he'll throw him aside...

...for a younger man.

Leaving him insecure, friendless, homeless...

with noone to turn to except

charity and the poorhouse.

Please, take your seat.

You were wonderful.

I didn't do anything.

Alright everybody.

If you don't think that we're right

now nothing will ever convince you.

Are you with us or aren't you?

We sure are Joe.

We're with you Joe.

What do you think their complaint is?

They are getting too much money.

That's what it is actually.

I knew they were crackpots.

Why don't they make themselves so

indispensible the store can't fire them?

Oh no. That's too hard. Heh

I'm glad I saw this.

I found out who some of them are.

The first day too.

Not all of them, just give

me another couple of days.

Heh. The idiots.

Making me one of them.

I'll show them who hangs who.

Shall I crumple them, sir?

Graham crackers, take it away.

And let me tell you another thing...

If I'm not sick by tonight or

tomorrow at the latest

my fancy Doctor Schindler from Vienna,

will wish he was back in Vienna.

Yes, sir.

And I want a lunch prepared for

me tomorrow to take along.

In a shoe box.

Yes, sir.

I want tunafish popovers.

Tunafish popovers?!

Tunafish popovers?

You heard me.

I wonder, I wonder if the chef

can make tunafish popovers?

Then get one who does.

If certain people can make

them on a little gas stove...

then that idiot downstairs ought to be

able to make them in that whole restaurant.

Yes, sir.

I didn't do so well selling

things today.

It's just a matter of luck.

Yes sir.

What I want you to do...

is to get a little girl...

...and bring her to the shoe department

tomorrow at exactly ten after twelve.

Is there anything

I can do for you sir?

I thought, I thought I would buy

some shoes for my little girl.

Shoes for the little girl, yes sir.

Certainly sir.

Won't you be seated.

Yes sir. I mean certainly.

He'll bungle it.

No, he's pretty good Mr. Hooper.

I've been watching him. (Snort)

I want you to buy a dozen pair of shoes.

Eleven? I think that's too many.

They'll get suspicious.

You think so?

Yes, sir.

Alright, then a half dozen.

No less.

No, sir, half-a-dozen.

One and a half.

Thank you.

This is your chance.

Now don't be nervious.

I'm not nervious. Stop talking about it.

What size do you want?

One and a half.

Here. Now don't be nervious.

For heavens sake.

Is this the hardest shoe to sell?

What's the hardest shoe to

get rid of in the whole stock?

The hardest?

Yes.

Well, we have some hightops that

haven't moved for years.
