What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Page #5

I want to order some liquor.

It's Jane Hudson.

What do you mean

you can't fill any more orders for me?

My sister did?

Wait a minute, I'll put her on.

Blanche, would you speak

to this man from Johnson's?

Hello. Who is this, please?

Oh, yes, Mr. Carlston.

Yes, this is Blanche Hudson.

What seems to be the trouble?

I'm afraid there's been

some misunderstanding.

I certainly didn't mean to suggest

that you shouldn't fill any orders for her.

After all, we do pay our bills, don't we?

Yes, fine.

Would you, please?

I'll put her on.

Okay, then?

Good. I'd like to order

six bottles of Scotch...

and three bottles of gin.

The same brands. And as soon as possible.

I just told Miss Blanche. I'm going

downtown to see a man about jury duty.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Hello?

I've written a letter to Daddy

His address is heaven above

I've written, "Dear Daddy, we miss you

"And wish you were with us to love!"

Instead of a stamp I put kisses

The postman said

The postman says

that's best to do

I've written a letter to Daddy

Saying, "I love you"

Now when I'm very good

And do as I am told

I'm Mama 's little angel

And Papa says I'm good as gold

But when I'm very bad

And answer back and sass

Then I'm Mama 's little devil

And Papa says I've got the brass

Now I wish that you would tell me

'Cause I'm much too young to know

All right, Blanche Hudson!

Miss Big Fat Movie Star.

Miss Rotten Stinking Actress.

Press a button, ring a bell...

and you think the whole damn world

comes running, don't you?

Lunch, Miss Hudson?

Why, certainly, Miss Hudson.

I'm sure we can find something

appropriate for you, Miss Hudson!

You brought my lunch. A bit early, isn't it?

Then what were you ringing for?

I wanted to tell you

something's wrong with the telephone.

Maybe it's been

left off the hook downstairs.

Is that so?

Who did you wanna call, Blanche?

Actually, I wanted to call Bert Hanley.

- Our business manager?

- Yes.

There's something

I've been meaning to discuss with you.

Well?

I'm afraid I have bad news about money.

You see, the point is Bert thinks

we'll probably have to sell the house.

Why should we have to

sell the house, Blanche?

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Our financial position

is such that we just...

We can't afford to...

We've got plenty of money invested.

I know.

Yes, that's quite true...

but some of those investments

aren't paying much.

When did our business manager

tell you all this?

Early last week, I think.

He didn't call here last week.

I know that, too.

No, we didn't actually speak

on the telephone.

He wrote me a letter.

He didn't write you any letter.

There hasn't been a letter from his office...
