Otherwise your friend Joe here...

...is gonna ought to have to

sleep in the park anyway.

And you too!

Now out!

Out! Both of you!

Wait a minute...

I'm paid up for the week...

I gave him 6 bucks.

Well give him back his 6 bucks!

I had to send some telegrams...

And I'm not gonna move

till I get my 6 bucks.

Give him a cheque!

No cheques!

Now look here...

I don't owe you the 6 bucks...

HE owes you the 6 bucks.

Now listen, Miss Milligan.

I paid you 12 dollars

for a weeks rent.

And I've only been here one night.

Now you give me back the difference...

...and I'll have the money

to pay him with.

That solves it.

Yes...only...

Well...I bought a hat!

You bought a hat...

Where's my money?

In her hat.

It is not...it's in his pocket...

only he hasn't got it.

Just what do you think

you're doing?

Just looking at the hat.

- Pretty, isn't it?

- You've got a nerve!

Looks pretty on her, too...

doesn't it?

Oh it does not...

That isn't even the way

it goes on.

Now where were we?

Looking for my 6 bucks.

Well I told you that I...

Now look...you don't think

that I'm gonna give...

Alright...stay!

For just ONE week...remember!

Come on...

I'll show you the schedule.

What schedule?

For the steeplechase

in the morning!

It's 7 o'clock, Joe!

Get up!

Thanks...hello Milligan.

I'm Dingle.

Get the schedule!

Here it is...schedule!

We're right on time!

Good morning!

What's for breakfast?

You've HAD your breakfast.

When?

7.07am

I guess we're kinda off-schedule.

What are you gawking at?

You.

You look nice.

Hope I haven't upset

your routine here.

Just stick to the schedule,

that's all I ask.

Rather nice having a high-type, clean-cut,

nice young fellow at table.

Better than nobody.

I'm used to 'nobody'.

You ought to have

some high times here, Joe.

Young fellows don't come

a dime a dozen in Washington.

Eight girls for every fellow.

Yeah, well I haven't got time for that...

I'm only going to be in Washington a week.

Where are you going to...

Where you came from?

Or where they send me.

Who's 'they'?

The government.

Too bad you're not gonna be here regular.

One less fellow for the girls to look at.

Like I told you...8 girls...

Yeah...Well you're wasting your conversation...

I'm not interested.

Yes, but the girls are.

Eh, Miss Milligan?

Those that haven't any men friends

are I suppose...

But in the case of a girl

who's engaged to be married...

Engaged? You?

Mr Pendergast and I expect to be married

in the very near future.

Pendergast?

Charles J. Pendergast.

Who's he?

Hasn't he got something to do

with the housing plan?

He most certainly has...

He just happens to be
