tomorrow night then.
How was I? Okay. He's hooked.
Come on, change your duds.
We're late.
Why don't you tell me
what this is all about?
Talk takes time.
Hurry up.
I'll be right back.
If this is a snatch, don't
take me over the state line.
Miss Graham,
Senator Burnett.
Senator?
So you're the mystery.
No mystery about me. Just a hick
lawyer the voters got stuck with.
- Miss Graham get the job?
- Yeah, and I think Gates is hooked.
I shouldn't wonder.
I am too.
Now, Senator,
I have a boyfriend.
And she don't mean me.
Well, good-bye.
conferences in automobiles?
Hotels have walls and walls
sometimes have Dictaphones.
Oh.
Know about my committee?
Read the papers?
Mm, movie columns,
gossip columns, football.
Remember Benedict Arnold?
Sure. The first
all-American heel.
There's a handful of those heels
in this country today.
And they're powerful enough
to sabotage our defense.
We're trying to expose
them. It's okay by me.
My committee thinks
Gates is one of them.
Him?
The nightclub angel?
In the daytime, he's an
executive at Nitro Chemical.
In between times,
he's been seeing men...
that are suspected
Yet our investigators
can't turn up anything definite.
- And that's where I come in?
- Will you give it a try?
Well, it isn't exactly like
deciding to go to a beauty parlor.
Ooh. Worried about
the boyfriend?
I don't know what he'll think when
he sees me with four other fellas.
I don't either. But if you go through
with this, you can't tell anybody,
not even him.
What do I do?
Can I show you
somethin'?
How much? $8.98. Isn't it beautiful?
It's one of our best numbers.
What size you lookin' for?
I've got all si... A girl
named Annie will be down for it.
Give her the change.
Mama.
Mama!
Mama, I just made a sale. The dress in
the window to a man! Can you imagine?
That dress?
Hey, Mama.
Mama, the number.
Oh, Mama.
I feel sick.
Are you sure?
Look.
Come on!
Come on, folks!
I'll be about five minutes.
If you need me, honk. Right.
Hurry, hurry, hurry. Over
here. Step up! Play the scale.
Eight shots, 10 cents.
Win a carton of cigarettes.
Come on, step up!
Hi, angel cake.
Hello, Michael.
Got some good news
for you, sugar. Me too.
Hello, Slukey my friend.
You're no friend of mine.
Go on, take the cigarettes.
Why bother to shoot?
What a beefer! I've only been
coming here once every other day.
That's twice too occasional.
Load for me, sugar, and
start with your news.
You don't know it,
but I'm in a big rush.
What do you mean, rush? Our
date's for the whole afternoon.
It was.
That's my good news.
