Torch Singer Page #3

I want you to be

hostess in my night club.

Are you tied up

here with a contract?

I'm not tied up anywhere.

I'm as free as

a bird on the wing.

CARLOTTl:
Splendid!

Lend me your

pencil, please.

Thanks.

This is

Tony Cummings speaking.

Cummings, of the

American Radio Corporation.

I wonder if you'd care to

take luncheon with me tomorrow.

No, no, I'll stop by for you.

Why don't you ring me

at noon and verify this?

My number is

Vanderbilt 39970.

I look forward to it.

And now about terms.

Yes, terms.

But I warn you, I'm going

to cost you a lot of money.

That'll be okay.

I'm a slave to you

Don't you want

the heart I gave to you?

You can have me if you want me

But you must be mine alone

Give me liberty

or give me love

You're so dear to me

I wish I was like that.

I'm in heaven

If you were,

I'd smack you down.

When you're near to me

You can have me

if you want me

Carlotti, she is superb.

Yes.

But you must be mine alone

I give her her chance.

Give me liberty

or give me love

I'm only a slave to you

Now you can have me

if you really want me

Give me liberty or love

You're so dear to me

When you are near to me

You can have me

But you must be mine alone

Give me liberty

or give me love

You've been kind of strange

Why the sudden change?

Do you want somebody new?

I'd be glad to share...

How do you like her?

I don't care for any woman

as notorious as Mimi Benton.

What has her private

life got to do with it?

It isn't private.

It's a public scandal.

Well, Mrs. Judson, those stories

are very much exaggerated.

I want you both to meet her.

Yours to have and hold

and call your own, dear

You can have me if you want me

But you must be mine alone

Give me liberty

or give me love

Give me liberty or love

Of course you don't want

to dance with me, my dear.

Not with you, Andrew. You

have no rhythm in your soul.

However, if Tony

would care to join me...

Care? Why, Mrs. Judson, this is

one of the big moments of my life.

I'm Mimi Benton.

How do you do?

Miss Benton,

I'm afraid I'm all right.

I'm Andrew Judson of the

Judson Pure Food Corporation.

No!

Yes.

That's marvelous!

I've heard Tony

speak of you 100 times.

Yes?

Where is Tony?

He's fighting... I mean,

he's dancing with my wife.

Tony's very fascinating. Aren't

you afraid you'll lose her?

I don't think

there's a chance.

I've been asking Tony for weeks

to bring you up some evening.

Yeah? Well,

that's funny.

He never said

a word to me about it.

No? Poor Tony!

He's such a jealous boy.

Jealous of me?

That's nonsense.

Look here, I'm giving a little

party tonight. Tony'll be there.

Don't you want

to come over?
