Thank you.

in about a minute.

You don't care if I look at it, do you?

Well, it's not so hot.

Will you read copy on it for me? If I
spell separate right. Sure.

Say, this is swell stuff.

You know, I'd like to get away from
sport writing.

I will, too, someday.

I want to do fiction.

Why don't you?

Oh, I've got to do the World Series in
St. Louis and then football.

Well, after that, I'll get at it.

I'll bet you've been saying that for
years.

Yeah, but I'm going to one of these
days.

No, I like good books, pictures, music.

I guess I'm a little bit mad.

Do you like mad people?

Oh, I adore mad people.

Yeah, but what's it all about, huh?

What's what all about?

Oh, life in general.

I don't know.

It's kind of fun, isn't it? Yeah.

What about love?

Well, I'm in favor of it.

Have you ever been in love?

Oh, yes.

Once. What happened?

Nothing. The boat got to Cherbourg.

Oh.

No one else?

Only the usual slight flurries at odd
moments.

You're not in love with anyone now?

No. You will be.

You've got to be, because I've decided
that you and I are going to get married.

But...

Really? I think so.

Don't you?

Well, I... I hadn't thought... I knew it
the minute I met you.

I knew it when I read this.

I was proud.

Now, what right had I to be proud of
you?

The answer is... Look at me, honey. Look
at me.

That's the answer.

I'm in love with you.

But you've only known me a couple of
hours.

You know... Things don't happen like
that.

This did.

No, I'm afraid we'll have to economize.

Oh, we'll economize. On necessities, not
on luxury.

Oh, I wish you didn't have to go away.

If I couldn't, the Giants would. Then
we'd have the series right here in our

front yard.

Well, I'll help you pay.

Yeah, all right.

Tell me, are you going to miss me? You
bet.

Oh, no.

Oh, don't. I can't bear to part with
you. It does make things look a little

co -ed around here.

You'll take the way I fix it through?
Well, there's a boudoir for a beauteous

baby. Sure.

What am I doing in it? I'd feel immoral.

Wouldn't I have a row of shaving mugs or
a pipe rack or a pair of boxing gloves

or something? Oh, that'll come later.

We've only been married three days.

Three days.

I've never been so happy in all my life.

Stinky. Toby, I've got theories about
marriage. All right, unload some.

Well, to begin with, we mustn't ever be
suspicious.

Toby, you can go out with other girls if
you want to.

But I think it's a good thing for
married people to go out with somebody

once in a while. But I don't want to.

Well, what would you do for them?

And for me?

Oh, that theory leaves me cold.

Do that again.

Oh, Toby.

St. Louis is so far away.

Oh, come on. Go with me.

Okay, please.

Hello?

Yes, this is Ms. Vaughn.

me tomorrow.

Oh, Toby, maybe it's something nice.

Yeah. Well, don't look so tragic,
darling. Oh, I know. My wife's a

girl. Well, what do you mean by that?

Nothing.

Only I wish you were just my wife,
that's all. Oh, Toby, still it is. Toby,

love working. Anyway, listen, we need
the money.

Say, you make as much as I do. Did you
know that?

Oh, come on now.

Please go to St. Louis with me.

Oh, honey, we can't afford it. You see,
you're on an expense account, but I'm

not. We're terribly broke already.

Don't tell me.

Anyway, five days isn't such a long
time.

our little agreement of a few days ago.

One article a month for six months at
$200 apiece.

Thank you.

I haven't the slightest idea who to
start on, have you?

Well, there are one or two big stars
here in New York now.

But, of course, you'd have to go to
Hollywood for the rest. Yes? Oh, well,

that's a thrill.

Come to dinner with me on Friday evening
and we'll plan it all out.

Friday? Oh, I'm sorry. I don't think I
can on Friday.

Oh, that's too bad.

I've got to go to Washington the day
after, and there are a lot of things I

to tell you about the story.

Oh, dear.

Well, in that case, I guess I'll
arrange.

All right, then. Then I'll pick you up
on Friday evening.

Yes, goodbye, Mr. Knowles. Goodbye.

Toby McLean, Circle 8430, New York City.

Yeah, yeah, that's right. And listen,
rush it through, will you?

Yeah.

Oh, no, nobody else will do it.

Okay.

Oh, he's beautiful!

Fine, meet him.

Oh, sorry, lady. So, I, uh, I found this
bit of penitentiary bait in the lobby.

Puff Randolph is the name. Old man
Randolph's daughter in the flesh.

Oh, John!

Oh, no, have a heart. Here, here, here,
lay off. He has other women in his life.

Yeah, this is a present.

Present? Oh, for me?

No, this is for my wife.

Oh. Yeah, and so is that.

Yeah, and that.

Oh, you're suffering from love?

Here, here's the sleeping potion, Romeo.
Oh, thanks, Shorty.

What's the matter? Is your arm broken?
Oh, I'm on the wagon, but don't let her

stop you.

Oh, no, I don't...

you want to New York? Hey, hey, hey,
that's my call.

Well, what's the matter with the St.
Louis operator?

No, I don't want the supervisor.

Hello. Hello, operator. Listen, put that
call through again for me at midnight,

will you?

Okay.

Well, you'd certainly brighten the city
of St. Louis, don't you?

Not for long.

I'm coming to New York to school this
fall.

It's swimming school on the Hudson.

Mm -hmm. So is Grants 2.

On the Hudson.

Well, I'll be near there.

Uh, cigarette me, big boy.

What? Cigarette me, big boy. Cigarette
me.

Oh, dear.

Wait for me.

I never saw such a friend.

Not just that. I'm in love.

With you, why?

Of course.

I would get a break like that.

Come on, chicken. You've been off the
perch long enough. I'm going to take you

back to your mother.

Well, then I'll probably phone you.

I do dumb things like that when I'm
crazy about somebody.

Well,

you did that in a hurry.

Oh, I only put her in a taxi.

I don't spoil them.

Oh, boy, you knocked her for a row of
hand -painted cough drops.

Say, she's good coffee.

What do you mean?

The Blase Younger Generation.

She's it.

I'm going to write it. Sort of a
character study.

Portrait of a... Oh, of a... Gilded
child. How's that?

Well, it's good if you do it. I'm going
to do it.

Portrait of a Gilded Child.

Portrait of a Gilded Child.

Well, I'm going to turn in. I'll see you
in the morning. So long. So long.

Better keep your door locked.

He's arriving from St. Louis.

You must meet him. He's a beast.

I'm sure.

You've heard of him, haven't you?

He's a well -known sports writer.

No, I don't read the sporting papers
much.

We must hope to have a high ball. I'm
sure he'll be home. Well, I'd like to.

Okay.

Mr. Vaughn, how do you do, sir? You
kidding me?

Oh, McLean, not Vaughn. Vaughn's only my
name.

I'm sorry.

Mr. McLean. Oh, that's all right. Let me
look at you. How is the train? Oh,

Claire. Are you and Mr. Newell up here
by promising him a highball?

Remember now, only a short one. Come on
now, you two. Sit down and get

acquainted. I'll go and see what's what.

Yes, sir. Have a seat.

A very charming little place you have
here. Yes, we like it.

So you're a sporting writer, Mr. McLean?
One of those cases of arrested

development, yes.

You know, I've often wondered what made
you a sport writer.

Sports.

Don't you ever do any magazine work? Oh,
you flatter me.

Yes, he's going to do some fiction this
winter. No, probably not.

Thanks.

You see, I fixed you a short one.

That's just right.

Not drinking?

Yes, I'm drinking.

My buddy offered me any.

Why, Toby.

Toby, I thought you were in.

I'm sorry Mrs. McClain wasn't here to
meet you when you came back. Oh, that's

all right.

But business is business, you know. Yes,
and ladies must live.

What's so big? Any reason why I
shouldn't have a drink if I want it?

Success.

Well, good people, I must run along.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

I'm so glad to have met Anne's husband.
Oh, have another drink. No, no more

thanks. And remember now, your copy must
be in by the 20th of the month. Oh,

yes, I know.

You'd better send it airmail.

I'm going to have a look at it through
the drawing.

Oh, are you? That would be lovely.

Good night. Good night.

Good night. Good night.

Toby.

Toby, aren't you ashamed?

Why? Why?

Well, you know perfectly well you were
rude and sarcastic.

He may be the high duper duper to you,
but to me he's a snooty weasel. But

you're my husband. Yeah, Mr. Vaughn, I
got that. Oh, it's your silly male pride

that hurts you.

You can't stand to see me have a little
success, can you?

You, you are never going to be jealous.
Jealous, I?

Well, what else?

Have you seen our collection of bills?

It's about time one of us did something.
I'll take care of the bills. You don't

have to pay them. I don't see you doing
it very fast.

Oh, now listen, Ann.

Listen, you've got me all wrong.

Oh, don't you see? I counted on seeing
you.

Oh, I see.

Sounds childish.

Well, what is the idea of bringing that
bird up here?

I want him to meet you, that's why.

I thought I'd be proud of you. Oh, what
an optimist. Oh, and you were ashamed,

huh? I certainly was.

A fine homecoming. Well, what fault is
it?

That's right. Go on, take another drink
and see with your male superiority.

Oh, you were going to show me, weren't
you? Well, go on and get drunk. Maybe

you'll write better.

Say, you've said enough, Ann. Mm -hmm.
In a few well -chosen words.

Hello.

Hello, handsome. I just got in.

Who is this?

It's me.

Oh, uh, wrong number.

Bye.

Yes, I'm trying to get a star on my
first article for Dwight Jones.

Oh.

The coffee's on the stove.

Thanks.

It's awfully sweet of you to put that
cover over me.

I didn't want you to be cold.

Oh, I am, darling.

Oh,

tell me, I've been so unhappy. Oh, what
was it all about for the love of peace?

Cusses, masculine egotism, getting up on
us here because you're going to make

more money than I am. Oh, silly.

Not more than you can, only more than
you do right now.

Gee, I'm a lazy loafer.

You're in sweet life.

Well, I'm going to get to work right
now. You are? Yeah, I've always meant

I've got a pip of a story.

Oh, come on. Tell me about it. All
right. It happened like this. Yes.

When I was at St. Louis. Yes.

Oh, don't they ever shut that radio off?

That's the way it goes. Just when I'm
all set to do something business

-oriented. Look, I'll tell you what
we'll do. We'll make it a holiday. I'll

with you. Gee, that's fine. You don't
care if I can't sit with you, do you?

no, I'll be all right. I'll meet you
afterward and we'll go to a swell

Tell me that'll be grand.

She said she wanted to commit suicide,
and I said, why? And she said, well, why

not? Life doesn't intrigue me. Ed
Stoning went wild for his moments.

Well, and you're one of her moments. She
said that, too, didn't she? She babbled

something. She's just a kid.

So you know what I think I'll do?

What?

I'm going to write a story about her.

Oh, yeah?

Gosh, she's priceless copy.

Portrait of what? Portrait of a gilded
child.

Oh, Toby.

Toby, that's a beautiful title. I'll
call it that.

Yeah.

Yeah, by all means.

Why don't you do some work, Toby?

Don't you feel like it?

Yeah.

I think I'll do a story at the office
tomorrow.

Got a swell idea.

I think I'll call it The Grand...

That's my title.

Say, Ann. Uh -huh?

People owe us money.

Why don't you try collecting?

We owe people money.

That's a gossip.

Oh, I can't done these guys. They're
fellas at the office.

If they get any dough, they know where
to find it.

Doing shooting crap?

Scotch. Yeah.

Over at the office.

God, I needed that dough. Where's
some... Oh, well.

What's the use of crying about it?

Oh,

God. The whole day's been like that.
Look at that suit. I did that on a nail.

best one.

God, I'd like to get cockeyed.

going up?

Mm -hmm.

Dwight knows phone and us. Wouldn't we
dine with him and then go to the

scandals? I said we'd love to. What do
you mean, we?

Well, that's what he said.

Yeah, but you know what he hooked.

Oh, now don't be silly.

I'm not.

What you got?

Something for you.

Oh, Toby.

Toby, you're a darling.

Yeah. Not every man advises flowers for
his wife to wear out with somebody else.

Oh, Toby, they're perfectly beautiful.

I think I'll work. I've got an idea.

Hey, why don't you call up the Gilded
Child?

What for?

Well, she might be amusing.

Oh, no.

Gee, you're beautiful.

You wouldn't fool me, would you?

Listen, don't be too beautiful, will
you?

I'd like to be used.

Oh, no, no. No, no, no. Not now. Now,
I'm only to be looked at.

Toby.

Oh, Toby, look. That's your new suit.
Thought I'd know it.

Well, there's the snow.

Oh, goody, goody.

Are you going to go upstairs?

No.

This is Toby.

Who?

Oh.

I said I was fainting.

Phoning away.

Anne's going out. I thought maybe you'd
like to have dinner with me.

Oh, I think that would be perfectly
sissy.

Right, I'll get dressed and be up there.

Huh? Oh, no, you couldn't come up here.
This is a girl's school.

I'd have to explain you giving date of
birth and so on. I'd better come up

there.

Well, in my day, ladies didn't call for
their escorts.

Yes, but this isn't your day.

Come on.

Hello, good -looking.

Gee, I'm glad to see you, Pop. Come on
in.

Oh, gee, this is cute. I like this a
lot.

Well, glad you do.

You come on over here and be a magazine
cover while I rustle a cocktail into

shape.

Oh, she's sweet, isn't she?

Yes, I think so.

Did she know you called me up?

She knew I was going to.

Oh, she did.

I can't seem to get a break.

I wonder why.

I'm a lonesome little babe in the woods.

I've got it, but it don't do me no good.

I can't hold a man the way that I
should.

But it don't do me no good.

I know that I'm young and so ambitious.

Why should I waste my charm?

I give a thrill delicious.

Blend me your lips and arms.

I'm a gal that's just been
misunderstood.

Uh -huh.

I've got it, but it don't do me no good.

Say, you've been keeping something from
us.

Uh -huh.

Several things.

Here. Try this on your piano.

Oh.

Well, here's mud in your eye.

Why don't you go to Hollywood right
away?

Oh, no. I couldn't leave Toby.

We're separated enough as it is.

You know, I think a sports writer's life
is as bad as a traveling salesman.

I see.

Then you won't go until March. That's
right.

Yes, he'll be down in Florida with the
baseball club, and I might just as well

be in California.

Thank you.

She might consider it host I turned out
to be.

If your wife should come in, she'd think
we were crazy sitting around here for

hours without any dinner. Oh, no, she
wouldn't.

Oh, Ed, how well you know your woman.

Hey, what'd you do with my vanity bag?

Over there.

Oh.

Hey, Pop, do you think this will be
enough?

Well,

if it isn't, I know plenty of cows that
give the same kind of milk.

Oh, yeah?

Did

you kiss him?

Yes, I'm afraid I did, Ann.

When exactly?

Oh, once in the taxi, once in somebody's
apartment, and once up here, I believe.

In other words... Every chance you've
got. Oh, no.

And she probably thinks she put
something over on me. Oh, no, she

of course she does.

You don't know women, especially 16
-year -old ones who think they're Greta

Garbo.

Oh, I'm getting a kiss.

You see, Toby, Pop doesn't think you
tell me anything.

She thinks she got away with something
while I wasn't working.

That burns me up. I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to do it.

Oh, I suppose we'll kiss other people.

We're young even if we are married.

Oh, don't talk like that, Ann.

Tell me that it happened so soon.

This guy you married, he isn't much
good, but he does love you.

You don't really want to kiss anybody
else, do you? No.

And you promise you won't see Pop again
just to please me because I'm silly? Oh,

you ask me something hard.

Of course I won't see her.

Take your beatings off.

and I'm only staying for a sandwich.

Come on, let's go.

Good morning, darling.

Now, don't tell me you got us a six -day
bike race.

We was over at Andreani's on 49th
Street.

You know how it is, just sitting around.

Who's we?

Oh, Shorty and Bill McGeehan and Ring
Lardner.

We had a couple of hikes.

Need any help?

No, I don't need any help.

Good morning, madam.

Where'd you get this?

Oh, they passed that out at the garden
last night.

Oh, yeah?

Lots of things passed out at the garden
last night.

Ah.

Where's the paper?

It's over there on the desk, madam.

Oh.

Did you pay those bills?

Well, somebody had to pay them.

Oh, I see.

You being the breadwinner... Oh, now,
Toby.

You not only didn't have the money, but
you weren't lifting a finger to get it.

So what do you think I am, a gigolo? Oh,
don't be fantastic.

Yeah, fantastic.

Well, let me tell you something.

Do. Oh, I don't suppose I can tell you
anything.

You know it all.

I know you anyway.

You've got talent, but you're too lazy
to use it.

The only thing you care about is your
job.

You're letting everything else go.

Everything but your typewriter.

Between a typewriter and a husband who
reeks of liquor all the time, I'll take

the typewriter. What do you mean, all
the time?

Well, if you must know it, Toby, I paid
those bills with the money I got for the

sale of the gilded child.

I couldn't think of anything better to
do with the money I got for my

with Miss Huff Randolph.

Oh, let it go.

Hello?

Oh, good morning, Mr. Knowles.

Oh, how do you do, Mr. Knowles?

You... You saw me where?

Oh, yes, I didn't see you.

Isn't it too bad?

You might have joined us.

Yes.

Oh, I'll think about it, Mrs. Noah.

Yes, I'll call you back later.

Old senior?

He saw me, but I didn't see him.

I guess I wasn't there.

You weren't where?

At the Jungle Club.

Oh, that.

You know who that was?

A kid from Columbia. The girl was his
girl. I forget her name. Lawton? Lawson?

Lawford? Mm -hmm.

Or Randolph?

Randolph. Oh, you mean Puff Randolph.

What made you think it was Puff?

I don't think, Toby. I know.

Feminine intuition?

I know when you're lying. It's too past.

You seem to have forgotten.

You told me last night you were Andreani
with some of your own crowd.

Now it's a jungle club with a boy from
Columbia and his girl. Oh, I can explain

that. Oh, doubtless.

Don't tell me anything. I don't want to
hear it. You listen to me. You let go of

me. I don't want to hear any more of
your lies. You're going to hear what

got to say, and whether you believe it
or not, you're going to listen.

All right.

All right, go ahead.

Be quick about it.

I seem to be anxious to have you get out
of my apartment.

Your apartment?

Well, it is my apartment, isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, you'll pay for it.

Every minute.

Hey, come on. Come on, Rip. Your 20
years are up now. Come on. How much

are you going to stay here?

I'm going to sick. You're terrible.

Hey.

Hey, Schnapper.

Oh, let me alone.

Come on now. Here, grab this. Grab this.
Let Mama do her stuff now. Come on. Oh,

thank you. Pull yourself up.

Must have had a little bit to drink last
night.

Last night?

Wasn't it last night?

Here for the last ten nights.

What? Yeah, you've been stealing my
stuff, you know that, don't you? Ten

in the bar room, that's your story.

Haven't I been to the office?

Not when I could keep you from it.

Have I got a job?

Well, your stuff's been appearing
regularly.

Who wrote it?

Yesterday, six of us wrote it.

Here.

Here you go.

Let me dive into that now.

The, uh... The adenoid infant has been
phoning.

Has she? With annoying regularity.

Oh, say, Shorty.

Shorty, have I got any mail?

You mean from Hollywood?

No.

Oh. Why don't you write to her?

Oh, what's the use?

I don't have anything to say.

Save these papers for you. I thought you
might like to read Anne's column. Tell

us what she's doing there. Oh, thanks.

Oh, that guy Knowles is with her. Hey,
let me tell you something. You've got to

pull yourself together now.

I haven't had a chance to get drunk for
ten days.

Seems to be having a pretty good time.

You got to go to Florida with that ball
club. You know that, don't you? Yeah, I

know it. Well, what's the idea?

Go on home and pack your stuff and get
going. Here.

Train leaves this afternoon.

This is the Aquarium.

The babe looks a little fat this year,
don't you think, Joe?

Yeah,

I bet you are.

Well,

how do you feel now?

Uh -huh.

You've been running around like this for
two weeks.

As though you had a slow leak or
something.

You're not doing yourself any good.

Look at all the sunshine they've got
down here.

I'm all right, Charlie. I'll come
around.

Yes, sir. They certainly have sunshine
down here.

Why, do you know them? No, I'm just
about to.

Joe Dugan will be there.

Hey, Joe Dugan, who's the best batter on
the Yankees?

How do you do?

Pardon, what did you say your names
were?

The Fowler sisters.

Four, four, four sisters. Well, then
step right into the parlor and make

arrangements.

Captain, see you at three there.

Oh, Toby, I'd like to introduce you to
the four Sherman sisters.

Well, I always thought General Sherman
was a bachelor.

Isn't he the funniest little fellow?
What is it, a sense of direction?

No, no, no, no. They're barefoot
dancers.

Oh, we are not.

Bareback? No, we're playing over at
Clemson this evening. You don't say.

at Tampa.

Well, then, what do you say we all have
dinner together somewhere and then drive

back to Tampa?

Nobody's gonna...

Great to get back to New York.

You better make yourself a hot drink and
get right to bed. Yes, I think I shall.

Thank you so much for all your kindness.
Don't mention it.

I'll see you in the morning. Good night.

Good night.

Hey, bring in the gang. This is Shorty.
I want you to meet a whole room full of

Sherman sisters.

You tell me the truth.

Toby's got to get back to New York, and
I've only got 12 bucks here.

Well, here's my roll.

26 bucks, I think. That'll help.

There's 30 more.

That's fine. What happened?

Ann came home from the coast with a
cold, and she found some liquor.

It was the stuff Toby bought to bring
down here.

Gee, I was with him when he bought it.

He's blind.

Hey, Shorty.

Shorty, I... I bought that liquor to
bring on the train.

I left it in the kitchen.

You're lucky.

What?

That it should be Ann instead of me?

Hello, Toby.

It was awfully sweet of you to come all
the way up here.

Oh, that's all right.

Don't look at me.

Don't look at me. I don't want anybody
to look at me.

I'm sorry.

I won't.

What kind of a trip did you have?

Oh, all right.

Big snowstorm.

Yeah?

Sorry we had such a bust -up.

Oh, that seems so far away, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Toby, I've been so ashamed for saying
what I did about my apartment.

I'm sorry.

Oh, gee, that's all right.

I wonder how long it will be before I'll
be able to get back to my work.

I've tried dictating, but it's no go.

Oh, don't you worry about that. Knowles
will hold your job open for you.

Good morning. Oh, good morning, Doctor.

Oh, so this is Mr. McLean. Yeah. Very
glad to know you, Mr. McLean. Thanks.

Just got in?

Yes, just this morning.

And how is Mrs. McLean today, hmm?

Doctor, doctor, how long will it be
before I can see again?

Well, that depends on the individual.

I'll make some tests tomorrow.

Doctor, just what is the treatment,
doctor?

Well, there's no treatment, just tests.

You see, there's a central blind spot.

Mrs. McLean can't see anything placed
directly in front of her. That is...

She can't distinguish between a red card
and a blue one, but as soon as the

disease disappears, well, there's an
increase in the field of vision.

However, that's what we hope may happen
before very long.

I think you'd better have a trained
nurse for her for a while after she gets

home. Sure, never mind the expense,
Doctor. Yes, and as you go by the office

your way out, you might step in and say
that you'll be responsible for the

hospital and laboratory fees.

Sure, all right. Yes, and I'll send you
my bad news, too. Yeah, sure.

You sent the flowers?

Oh, no.

Yes.

Nice of him.

He's in love with me, Tobin.

I guess people will always be falling in
love with you.

How do you feel about him?

I'm not sure.

Oh.

I like him.

I suppose I could fall in love with him
if I tried.

Listen, sweetheart.

I'm not going to ask you to make up your
mind.

Now, I don't think this is any time for
you to decide, but you just wait and

don't worry.

When you're well again, why, you tell me
whatever you decide to.

If you find out you're in love with him,
why, we'll fix it up.

You don't mind?

I want you to be happy, that's all.

Now, don't worry about anything, your
money or your job or anything.

I'll fix it.

I'll drop in and see you tomorrow.

Say, Mr. Knowles, don't worry about her
column, will you?

I'll write it for her.

I'll get it to you every few days,
right?

Okay.

Oh, yeah?

I just got in.

Hey, why don't you ever answer your
telephone?

You're feeling all right, ain't you?

Sure.

Don't tell me you're working.

Uh -huh.

On a novel?

Uh -huh.

Oh, I can't bear that. Give me a drink.

No, no, no.

That means something, sir.

Uh, may, uh, may one smoke? May one?

Sure, help yourself.

Oh, say, take that, will you?

And I'm not home.

This end is ready.

Hello, thing!

Oh, no, no, he's not here.

No, no, he's gone away.

No, he won't be back for 20 years.

Well, you might tell me where I could
reach him. I'm a terribly good friend of

his. Yes.

Oh, well, why didn't you say so?

I thought maybe you might be that silly
little schoolgirl that's been running

Toby Bulligan.

Oh, well, so long as your name isn't
Grand...

Oh, by the by, what is your name?

Oh, my name is Miss Brown.

Why, you too, Miss Brown.

I'm happy to... Toby's going to give me
the juice when he finds out I mixed you

up with that silly little flapper.

Oh.

Did he tell you to tell me, I mean her,
that he wasn't in?

Oh.

He told you to hang up on me.

Her. Oh, we all know about it in the
office.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, she calls up there every day.

Yeah, we call her if -at.

You know, if -at, first you don't
succeed, try all over again.

You beast!

Did I hear you hang up on me?

I did.

the Shawty Ross Flattery Terminator. All
work guaranteed.

Name your nuisance.

Well, I'm... I'm going over to the house
and pack my bags as I can move in.

Okay, Charlie.

I won't have to join the boys' college
for that.

All right.

Now, this is the last test.

If you can distinguish the red card from
the blue card, you may go home.

What is the color of the card in my
right hand?

Don't be afraid.

Blue?

Correct.

You're cured.

Oh, dear.

Don't tell me.

Don't tell me.

Sit down, won't you? Oh, I can't sit
down.

If you don't like this story, please
tell me. Don't let me make a fool out of

myself.

We like it very much. In fact, we're
going to buy it.

Oh, you're kidding me.

It couldn't happen to Toby McLean.

You say that you did the first half of
this in ten days? Yeah, it worked nice,

mostly. Sort of a day shift and a night
shift.

How soon could you give us the rest of
it? Oh, the same length of time.

You don't need to kill yourself. But I
like it.

Here's a check for $1 ,000 against
royalties. Oh, boy, what a day. My wife

see the red card and the blue card, and
on top of that, this.

Oh, boy.

Goodbye.

Hey.

What do you got there, a check?

Yeah, yeah, for $1 ,000.

Oh, for the love of... Do you think it's
any good?

Oh, now listen, Shorty, not one word to
Anne about this or I'll split you wide

open. Come on there, boy. Man, what a
break, huh?

Oh, I'm so glad to get out of this
little room.

You've been oftentimes.

If you only knew the pleasure of this.

Toby.

Toby.

Hello, Ann.

Hello. Oh, how do you do, Mr. Knowles?
How do you do?

Oh, this is Mr. Ross. How do you do, Mr.
Ross? I'm all right.

Ann, you certainly look good to me. Oh,
Johnny, everything looks good to me now.

Ah.

Didn't you know I was coming home today,
Toby? I'm sorry I meant to bring you,

but, well, I had to see a man.

Well, it was all my fault. I held him
up.

Yes, I had to see Shorty. I'm going to
move over to his place.

Why? Well, I thought it was a little
crowded. I mean, the nurse and

Yeah, but he'll be safe with me.

Well, if that's the way you want it.

Well, why don't you fix the highball for
Shorty and Mr. Knowles? Yeah, what's

the idea? It's a signal for celebration,
isn't it? Anne's home.

Yes, that would be a good idea, Mr.

Knowles.

But Toby, what did you do?

Oh, I'm sorry. My hand slipped.

There isn't another bottle in the house.

Well, I'll get something and clean it
up.

Oh, never mind. I don't want any.

No, I don't want any either.

Toby. Toby, you did that on purpose.

Did I?

Toby, I haven't seen you for days.

Why didn't you tell us both?

Well, after all, I... I had to give you
time to make up your mind.

I didn't need all that time.

You mean you've decided?

Doris, I've decided it's about Nose.

Oh.

But not about you.

You mean you've turned him down?

I don't want Nose.

Or me either, is that it?

I can see you now.

I couldn't that other time.

I couldn't see your face.

I thought... I thought you were sorry
for me because I was blind.

It's getting late. I wonder if I should
wait.

I'll go find out.

Well, I suppose I'll still make the
world's worst husband.

Oh, unquestionably.

Oh, I don't know about that.

Look at this.

I think I'll make a darn good husband.

Toby!

Where'd you get that? What's that for?

A book.

I don't think you need to wait.
