to finish the show or something.

Bob. All right, Bob, the girls

are in jam. We'll have to help them.

- What's the beef?

- Come on. They're in big trouble now.

- What's the picture?

- Somebody is trying to get... Come on.

Let me ask you something.

Why don't we pay the fellow the $200?

Are you kidding?

Pay off a chiseling rat like that?

Will you send a cab out back,

and I'll meet you in the dressing room?

I don't know how I get mixed up

in these things.

Why do I listen to you?

Give me one good reason.

Let's just say we're doing it

for an old pal in the Army.

- It's not good, but it's a reason.

- Will you go on?

You kids get down to the station

and hop on a train.

- Here, Phil.

- We can't.

Our tickets aren't good until tomorrow.

But you've got to get out tonight.

Tickets. Wait a minute. Here,

take these. Now, get going. Come on.

We can't take your tickets.

What will Mr. Wallace think?

Well, honey, it was his idea.

Now, will you please get going?

- His idea? Are you sure?

- Yeah.

He won't think

it's some kind of an angle?

I told you it was his idea.

Now, come on. Upsy-daisy. Here we go!

That's right.

We'll pay you back.

Where can we reach you?

Don't worry. We'll be in touch. Come on.

Our trunks, our phonograph

and the recording.

Honey, we'll get them to you. Would

you please go? The taxi is coming.

- Don't stop for anything. Bye.

- Bye, Phil.

- Here.

- Here.

- Open the door. Bye.

- Bye, now.

And I can't stall him much longer.

Hey, whatever happened

to paying the $200?

Well, we've got to give the girls

five or ten minutes' start.

Wait a minute, I've got an idea.

If you could just stall him

for just a few minutes.

I'll try, but he's eating me

out of business already.

- Well, keep punching, will you?

- OK.

Come on, Bob, I think this will work.

I got a feeling I'm not gonna like it.

I got a feeling you're gonna hate it.

- What am I doing it for?

- Let's just say

we're doing it for a pal in the Army.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I know. I've heard that...

Listen, Sheriff, I haven't got all night

to wait here while you eat free food.

You got your warrant,

now arrest those girls.

Now, we agreed to let them finish

their show first.

I didn't agree. It was his idea.

I got some rights, too.

You don't get those girls

till after they've done their number.

Well, how long is it going to take?

Well, it'll only be...

Wait a minute, there's their music.

- How's your coffee holding up? Yeah.

- Warm it up a little.

Ladies and gentlemen,

an impromptu surprise for you.

The Haynes Sisters.

Sisters, sisters

There were never such devoted sisters

Never had to have a chaperone no, sir
