Here we are.

Psst. Huh?

You're standing on the brink
of disaster.

Take my advice, forget about it.

Forget what? The vacancy.

You wouldn't care
for the apartment.

Why not?

Termites.

Termites?

This big.

Believe me. Oh, Ruth.

An exterminator went
in there last week

and he got
the beating of his life.

However, if you young ladies
are seeking a sanctuary

in this troubled world,
seek no more.

I will show you the best value
in greenwich village.

Come along with me.

Wait a minute. Who are you?

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm appopolous.

Papa appopolous

to my children on barrow street.

Oh, how do you do?

I am Eileen Sherwood
and this is my sister Ruth.

Of the Ohio sherwoods.
Of course.

Now, where is this sanctuary?

Due south.

Here we are, darlings.

The pride of barrow street,

the appopolous arms.

Oh, you mean you...

Oh, well.

Is the apartment very high up?

Up?

Down.

He's crazy about it.

Here we are, darlings,
all righty.

Your luggage, please.

Your luggage.

Please.

Isn't this exactly what
you've been dreaming about?

My dear young ladies,

this is the best value you can
get for your money in New York.

Architecture, neighborhood.

Thank you, I'll have it fixed.

It isn't too bad, Ruth.

Too bad?

Let me point out a few
salient features of this studio.

It is summer.

Psst.

It is exactly 30 degrees
cooler down here.

Cooler? It's musty enough
to hang venison.

Note the exquisite
imitation fireplace,

the magnificent day beds.

And look here,

there is even a piano.

J'j'

I'd never have known
without an autopsy.

And here is a model kitchenette,

complete in every detail.

And here is
a luxurious bathroom.

Ah-ah.

What fiend designed this?

In those 2 rooms,
you won't entertain.

It does look clean, Ruth. Yeah.

J'j'

What's that?

Oh, one of your neighbors.

Perhaps a future Lily pons
or Helen traubel.

Come, let me show you
the garden.

It's beautiful in the summer.

A garden.

Real outdoor living.

J'j'

How are you, papa?

Very busy, Mr. O'Connor.
Very busy.

You see, you're surrounded
by fellow artists like yourself.

Oh, it is colorful,
isn't it, Ruth?

If you like loud colors.

How much is this apartment?

Only 65 dollars.

65 dollars? For this
concrete catacomb?

I'll even wallpaper the kitchen.

It is cheaper than anything
else we've looked at, Ruth.

As an added inducement, I'll
tell you what I'm going to do.

Take the place for a month,

then, if you're still
not satisfied,

I'll give you back
your first month's rent.

Oh, Ruth. I don't see
what we can lose. Do you?

Legally, you've got me
where you want me.

I gave you my word
in front of 2 witnesses.

3, including me.

Oh, please, Ruth, I just can't
look at any more places.

Well... then it's all settled.

You left the rest of your
luggage at the station?

Yes. You girls make
yourself at home.

I'll send for it.
Oh, why, thank you.

Uh, you have the luggage
checks, don't you?

Oh, yeah.

And the, um...

Oh, oh. Just a minute.

$20, $40, $50, $60.

$1, $2, $3, $4, $5.

Thank you.

Thank you, my children.
Thank you very much.

From now on,
you can call me papa.

I'll have it fixed
in the morning. Good luck.

Well, be it ever so humble,
there's no place like home.

Mr. Appopolous! Mr. Appopolous!

Where's that door knob?
Here it is.

Mr. Appopolous,
Mr. Appopolous, wait just a minute.

It was terrible. Yes, darlings?

What was that? What was what?

Well, that noise.
The whole room shook.

It goes to show you
how you get used to it.

I didn't even notice it.
Get used to it?

You mean it happens
all the time?

You won't even
be conscious of it.

A little blasting.
The new subway.

You mean they're blasting
right under our feet?

What are you so worried about?

Those engineers know
how much dynamite to use.

But does it happen all the time?

No, no, no, no.
They stop at midnight,

and they don't
start again until, mmm,

6:00 in the morning.

How would you like
to step outside?

What are you getting
so hysterical about?

I'm not hysterical yet.

All we want is our
money back. Yes.

I told you I'd give back
your money and I will,

if at the end of the month,
you're still dissatisfied.

Good night, darlings.

J'j'

What are we going to do?

We're gonna do 30 days.

Ruth, we ought to have that
phone connected in the morning

so we can start
calling up for jobs.

You don't call up
for jobs, dear,

you go out and look for 'em.

Gee, I hope we don't have
to look too long.

Incidentally,
that money from dad

is the last
we're gonna take from him.

After that, it's beg,
borrow, steal, or starve.

Of course.

Gee, maybe
we shouldn't have come

to New York just yet, huh, Ruth?

Don't tell me you're
getting homesick already?

Maybe a little.

I wonder what Billy hunniger
is doing tonight.

He's probably at the country
club dance with Annie wilkerson.

He can have her.

Don't you think he knows that?

Of course, those things
never bothered you.

Men never meant
very much in your life.

Not after they got
a load of you, they didn't.

Now, that's the trouble
with you.

You've got
a complex or something.

You're a lot more attractive
than you think you are.

You're close. I'm a lot more
attractive than men think I am.

Well, remember what dad said.

There are 8 million people
in New York,

and half of them are men.

One of them is bound to be
the right boy for you.

Yeah, and I wonder where
the poor devil is tonight.

I'm gonna take a shower. Ok.

5, 6, 7.

The heck with it. Let it spread.

J“ when I started shedding
my avoirdupois j“

j“ I thought it would
get me somewhere with the boys j“

j“ I went to a gym
and got myself slim j“

j“ I went on long hikes,
I wore out 3 bikes j“

j“ and from those masseurs
what beatings I took j“

J“ yet nobody said j“

j“ how lovely you look j“

What'd you say, Ruth?

I said, “let it spread.”

J“ what good j“

j“ does it do me
to slenderize? J“

j“ who needs
this reducing routine? J“

j“ slender or stout j“

j“ I am a washout j“

j“ as soon as they see Eileen j“

j“ I long for a young man
with tender eyes j“

j“ but my competition's
too keen j“

j“ my name is mud j“

j“ I'm a real dud j“

j“ as soon as they see Eileen j“

j“ but she's an angel j“

j“ as well as a cutie j“

j“ her kind of beauty is rare j“

j“ still I always have found j“

j“ that when she is around j“

j“ nobody knows
that I'm there j“

j“ I wish I could dream j“

j“ and philosophize j“

j“ with someone
who knows what I mean j“

j“ oh, but what is the use? J“

j“ I'm a gone goose j“

j“ as soon as they see Eileen j“

j“ I'm over 20
with plenty of knowledge j“

j“ I earned my college degree j“

j“ but I'm frankly annoyed j“

j“ oh, tell me, doctor Freud j“

j“ what is
the matter with me? J“

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!

J“ some night j“

j“ maybe I'll see
the starry skies j“

j“ with someone
who isn't too green j“

j“ but with all my desire,
I'm a flat tire j“

j“ I have the appeal j“

j“ of a fifth wheel j“

j“ I'm just out of luck j“

j“ I'm a dead duck j“

j“ as soon as they see j“

j“ Eileen j“j“

Ruth? Yeah?

Ruth, where are you?

What are you doing out there?

Just getting
a breath of fresh air,

frightening little children.

What?

Nothing.

I was hoping we'd get
what's-his-name to fix that shower.

It just dribbles.
Yeah, I noticed.

You know, it's as hot outside
as it is in here.

Yeah. Well, don't forget
to lock the door.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Gee, I... I didn't think you girls
would go to bed this early.

That's beside
the point. Who are you?

Oh, I live upstairs.
My name's Ted loomis.

You can just call me wreck.

Uh... uh, wreck?

Yeah, that's what they used
to call me at Georgia tech.

I'd have made all American,
only I was expelled.

That's very interesting.

But don't you think it's about time
you were rambling along?

Oh, yeah.

If I can do anything
for you girls, you just whistle.

We'll do that.

Oh, by the way,
I was just wondering,

uh, are you girls going
to be home tomorrow?

Uh, no. We'll be out
looking for work.

Oh, that's great.

I always do the laundry
down here on Thursday.

Lau n dry?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, Helen's a switchboard
operator. She works nights.

I don't like to disturb her
during the day.

Helen?

Yeah.

We're engaged.

Oh, I... I... I don't want you
to get the wrong idea.

It's just that we can't
afford to get married,

and we can't afford 2 apartments.
I'm out of work right now.

So, when Helen's at work,
I sleep,

and then when she sleeps,
I do the housework.

We don't see much of each
other, so we get along just great.

I... I can see you girls still
think that's a little strange?

Only because we're from Ohio.

Oh, yeah. I guess that
would make a difference.

Violet was from Brooklyn.

Who's Violet?

Well, uh, she had this studio before
they started blasting for the subway.

It was bad for business.

B-B-Business?

Yeah.

She read palms or something.

Yeah.

Well, thanks a million
about the laundry.

I'll see you tomorrow.
Good night.

Now what was that all about?

I don't know.

He seemed very nice.

Oh, he would. He's a man.

Everything's so convenient
in this dungeon.

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

I know what you mean.

I could swear
I just put out the lights.

Oh, there's a street lamp
shining right in the window.

You'll have to
pull the curtains.

We're practically sleeping
in the street.

Yeah, we sure can't close
the windows. We'd suffocate.

Yeah.

What's the matter? Oh, this bed.

Yeah, they are kind of hard,
aren't they?

Hard? We could do better
at the morgue.

Well, let's go to sleep.

Maybe we can have
a nice, pleasant nightmare.

We got a big day
ahead of us tomorrow.

That's right.

Good night, honey. Good night.

W-W-What was that?

Now what?

Well, that's one way
to keep cool.

Oh, Ruth, you're drenched.

Here, let me get you a towel.

J“j“

: Row, row, row your boat:

J“ gently down the stream j“

j“ merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is but a dream j“

get away from there.

J“ row, row, row your boat j“j“
get away from here!

Pete, look. Girls.

Go away! You heard me.

Beat it, you drunken goons!

Aw, now, please, madam.

All we were doing was singing.

Since when is it a crime
to sing?

You're certainly not getting
into the spirit of things, madam.

I'm not in the mood
and stop calling me madam!

Isn't she lovely, Pete?

She certainly is.

You get away from there.
Now, go on, go away.

J“j“

Break it up, break it up!

I was saying good night...

Good night, ladies.

J“j“

You heard 'em.

Out, out.

Good night, ladies.

Thank you very much, officer.

Oh, yes. We're so glad
you came by.

Yeah, I'll bet you are.

Y-Y-You see, there aren't any
shades on the window and...

Yes, there's a light
shining through the window.

Could you do
something about that?

Sure, I'll put a shade on it.

You kids new
in the neighborhood?

Yeah, we just moved in
this afternoon.

Well, if you're smart,
you'll move out tomorrow.

I don't go for this kind
of stuff on my beat.

Well, what did he mean by that?

Evidently, this studio
has a bad reputation.

Violet must have been reading
palms without a license.

I don't think I can take
30 days of this, Ruth.

Honey, everything's
gonna be all right.

It's all my fault.
If I hadn't of insisted on...

It isn't your fault.

Staying here,
we could've gone to a hotel...

Good morning, wreck. I'm home.

Hi, baby. You have a hard night?

Yeah, it was pretty busy.
Think I'll go to bed now.

I made you something to eat.
It's in the kitchen.

Thanks, honey.

You have a good day's sleep.

All righty.

See you later.

Oh, here, here,
let me give you a hand.

Thanks, wreck.

Oh, by the way.
Here's the grocery list.

Are you sure you don't mind?

No, of course not. I got
to go to the store anyway.

Here's the money. I... I think
that ought to be enough.

In case it isn't, take off the
cookies and the soft drinks.

We're on
an awfully tight budget.

Boy, I know what you mean.
Since I'm out of work,

Helen makes me watch
the pennies pretty close.

What kind of work
you out of, wreck?

I play pro football
during the season.

What do you do
the rest of the year?

I usually wrestle,
but I got suspended.

Why?

Overacting.

Really.

How about you girls? You got
any connections here in town?

Yeah. Ow.

I have a letter of introduction

to the editor
of manha tter magazine.

Oh, that's good.
How about Eileen?

Eileen doesn't need a letter.

Well, I'm all ready.

Do I look all right?

I can't remember
when you didn't.

You look beautiful.

Any producer that wouldn't
hire you is a girl.

Oh, thanks, wreck.

I just don't know where to go
or how to get started.

Most of the actors around here

read I/ar/ety
to see what's going on.

Well, if we're gonna do it,
honey, let's do it.

Yeah. Which way to the subway?

It's right up the...

Come on, I'll show you.

Now, it's right
up at this corner.

Remember you take
the uptown train.

Oh, this corner? That's right.

Good luck, you guys. Bye.

Good morning, darlings.

Did you have
a good night's sleep?

Oh, sure. You know, for a
place with a bad location

and no neon sign,
we did a whale of a business.

Yeah, and there's
no hot water in the shower.

Well, that's why you look
so cool and refreshed.

I assume you're off
to seek employment?

Oh, yes. I... I guess we
better get started, honey.

Ah, youth.

You'll have this great
Metropolis groveling at your feet

like a passionate lover.

That's what I thought
when I left Ohio,

but now I'm scared.

You're not alone, honey.

Ah, pish-tosh!

There are only 2 things you need

in this part of the world
to succeed.

Confidence.

Patience.

Psst.

Take me, for example.

J“ I'm sure that I'm a genius j“

j“ so I haven't any fears j“

j“ I never get discouraged
and downhearted j“

j“ I haven't sold a painting,
and I've tried for 20 years j“

j“ he's just a little slow
getting started j“

j“ I'm great,
but no one knows it j“

j“ no one knows it but me j“

j“ I'm great and yet I just
can't get the critics to agree j“

j“ my works are masterpieces
like picassos and matisses j“

j“ you're certainly an artist j“

j“ when it comes to
drawing leases j“

j“ I'm just as great as he is j“

j“ but they call me the worst j“

j“ but when I lose a match it's
cause I haven't been rehearsed j“

j“ you mean that you're a
genius in your own peculiar way j“

We're great, but no one
knows it: J“ but they will someday j“

you see, that's our secret.

You've got to have confidence
in yourself.

Miss Sherwood, you could be, uh,

a female Shakespeare.

Me? Why, sure you could.

Eileen, Eileen, you could show

these other actresses
they're not even on the 2nd team.

You could throw a hammerlock
around this whole doggone town.

I could? You could.

If you only believe in yourself.

Miss Sherwood, what
do you think of yourself?

Well, I... I... I guess
I'm all right.

No, Eileen. Ruth.

Ruth, what do
you think of yourself?

Well, I... I... uh... oh, no!

No, no, no.
No matter what anybody says,

you've got to
keep your head up high

and say, I'm great.

Say it!

I'm great:

No, no. No, no.

You've got to shout it out!

So the whole city can hear you.

From the Bronx to the bowery.
From the Bronx to the bowery.

Shout! Shout!

T I'm great, but
no one knows it j“

j“ no one knows it j“
that's much better.

J“ so far j“ that's fine.

J“ but they'll get wise j“

j“ and realize
how wonderful you are j“

j“ the public may acclaim us j“

j“ we'll be popular
and famous j“

j“ and anyone that pans us
will be called an ignoramus j“

j“ we're great,
but no one knows it j“

j“ but who cares about them j“

Can we be sure?:

J“ just say that you're
the creme de la creme.”

J“ well, I don't know
what that means j“

j“ but I agree
with what you say j“

j“ we're great,
but no one knows it j“

j“ but they will someday j“

We're great,
but no one knows it j“

j“ no one knows it so far j“

j“ but they'll get wise j“

j“ and realize
how talented we are j“

j“ the public will acclaim us j“

j“ we'll be popular
and famous j“

j“ and anyone who pans us
will be called an ignoramus j“

j“ we're great,
but no one knows it j“

j“ no one knows it not yet j“

j“ they don't even pay us
to endorse a cigarette j“

j“ as we go by,
they'll point us out j“

j“ and even shout hurray! J“

j“ hurray! We're great,
but no one knows it j“

j“ but they will someday j“j“

Won't you sit down?
Oh, thank you.

Than k...

Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me. Yes?

M-My name is Eileen Sherwood

and I read in I/ar/e Ty that
Mr. Wallace is casting a new show.

Would it be possible
for me to see him?

I'm sorry, but Mr. Wallace is
only seeing people by appointment.

Oh, do you think I can make
an appointment?

We'll let you
know. That's impossible.

You can send in the next.
Thank you anyway.

Carolyn Christy. Oh, I'm sorry.

Won't you step in now, please?

Mr. Wallace,
she isn't on the list.

Don't be so technical,
miss Stevenson.

Was america on Columbus's map?

Oh, I... I would like to see
Mr. Robert baker, please.

Mr. Baker can't see anyone.

He's just getting ready
to leave on his vacation.

On his vacation?

Oh, can't I see him
for just a minute?

You see, some of my stories
were submitted to him

by Mr. Stover of
the Columbus cour/er.

I have a letter of introduction.

I'm sorry. If you care to leave the
letter and your telephone number,

I'm sure he'll get in touch
with you when he returns.

Oh, the phone's not connected
yet, but I'll leave the address.

There.

Thank you very much.

Keep smiling.

Now here are
your tickets, Mr. Baker.

The bags are in the taxi,

and your train
leaves in 20 minutes

good bye, mr.Baker.

Ah, no tears, Judy.

George, I left the bar open.
Be my guest.

Thank you, Mr. Baker.
You're getting taller, George.

Now don't you
worry about a thing.

Good-bye. Have a wonderful time.

Catch a lot of fish. I will.

Bye, Mr. Baker.
I was hoping you'd say that.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Mr. Baker... good-bye, dear.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
I don't know you, do I?

Don't mention it, Mr. Baker.

I'm Ruth Sherwood.

Oh. Uh, well,
it was nice kissing you.

Oh, Mr. Baker,
I know you're in a hurry.

Yes. I'm afraid
I have to catch a train.

Excuse me. Jerry, would you
make it nonstop for me?

I guess you don't remember.
I'm Ruth Sherwood.

Yes.

Bill stover,
of the Columbus cour/er,

he sent you some of my stories.

Oh, good, you, bill. Yeah.
Well, how is old bill?

We were roommates in college.
Yes, he told me.

Heshne good

did you have a chance
to read my stories?

Your stories. Yes. Oh, yeah.

Yes, well,
I thought you'd be more of

the spinster type, sort of.

Spinster?

Well, those love stories
of yours are pretty depressing.

Now, w-what I mean is

that all romance doesn't end
in epic tragedy necessarily.

You know, the boy running off
and joining the foreign legion,

the girl setting fire
to her hope chest.

Oh. The funniest thing.

I usually can figure out what a
person is like from the way they write.

I mean, but like you,

you just don't seem to me
like a confirmed cynic.

We cynical spinsters can be
pretty deceptive sometimes.

Thank you, Jerry.
I didn't mean to offend you.

Offend me? Just because you say
I write like a frustrated old maid?

Look, I'd love to...
Excuse me, go ahead.

I'd love to discuss this thing
further with you, but I can't, you see.

And just to keep the record
straight, I didn't call you frustrated.

Thank you.

Look, don't get
discouraged, just...

I think you write very well.

Try writing something
you're familiar with.

With which I'm familiar.

Well, it was
nice meeting you, miss, uh...

Sherwood.
Sherwood. Yes, of course.

Of course.

Grand central.

Good afternoon. Hello.

Can I take your order?

Yes. I'd like a coke, please.

It's warm, isn't it?

Oh, awful.

Want some lime in this?

It's good in the hot weather.

All right.

Saw you in here this morning.

You did?

You haven't been in before,
have you?

Thank you.

No, I just got in town
yesterday.

You an actress?

No. I'd like to be.

But I don't think
it's going to be very easy.

I've already seen
3 producers this morning.

Oh. Don't tell me
they weren't interested?

They were interested all right,

but not in my acting.

Yes, I see what you mean. Hey,

maybe I could help you
get started.

I don't know
if you know it or not,

but this place is a real kind of
hangout for people in show business.

Oh, really? Sure.

If I keep my ears open,

I could pick up a lot of
inside information

about auditions
and that kind of stuff.

Oh, well, that would be
just wonderful.

I got it. Why don't you
come in here every day?

Say, for lunch.
And I'll keep you posted.

Food's excellent.

Every day we have a special.

Oh, well, that's certainly
very nice of you, mister...

Lippencott. Frank lippencott.

Fountain manager.
Oh, how do you do?

I'm Eileen Sherwood.

Well, I guess I'll be seeing you for
lunch tomorrow, Mr. Lippencott.

Do I pay here?

Don't worry about it.

Courtesy of the management.

Oh, thank you very, very much.

Remember now.
Don't get discouraged.

I'll try not to. Thank you.

J“ I'm great,
but no one knows it j“

j“ no one knows it so far j“

j“ they'll get wise and realize
how talented we are j“

huh.

T as we go by,
they'll point us out j“

j“ and even shout hurray j“

well?

J“ we're great and no one
knows it, but they will j“

j“ someday j“j“

Oh, good morning, Mr. Newbetter.

Um, sorry.

You know, the last few weeks,

I feel like I'm living
in my own little world.

Sending all these stories
to myself.

I think I'll call the next one
“boomerang.”

Cheer up, maybe the
next one won't come back.

Yeah, I'll leave off
the return address.

Bad news?

Not if you like to suffer.

Well, don't you worry.

I've got a feeling
that this is my lucky day.

If I knock on enough doors,

some producer has got to
let me show him what I can do.

Oh, anything you want
while I'm uptown?

Oh, yeah.

You can cash
the last of the mohicans.

The last?

When this is gone,
we've had it, honey.

20 bucks and 2 return tickets
to Columbus, Ohio.

Well, we're not gonna use
those tickets.

You just wait.

The first thing you know,
you'll sell a story,

I'll get a job, and we can move
out of this terrible place.

You know, it's starting again.

What?

The kitchen wall.

It keeps perspiring
or something.

It could break through
and flood the place.

I think we should talk
to Mr. Appopolous.

Talk to him? I've been
screaming at him for 2 weeks.

C-Could you write
a letter of protest

to the better business bureau
or something?

Sure I could, but anything I'd
write, they'd just send back.

Well, good-bye.
Keep your fingers crossed.

Hey, maybe that's what's
wrong with my stories.

I've been typing
with my fingers crossed.

Oh, what's for dinner?

The usual,
meatballs and spaghetti.

Ugh.

Do you think we could get
something kind of

interesting for dessert?

I invited frank lippencott.

You know, it's wonderful the
way you manage with only one maid.

It's the least we can do.

Do you know, he hasn't let me
pay for one single lunch check

since I've been going in there?

I have a feeling
that before long

walgreens' fountain will be
under new management.

Scat.

Bye.

Good luck.

Where you been, chick?

Haven't seen you around
in a while.

I've been up to Atlantic city,
covering the miss america contest.

Frank, old boy, our country's
never been in such good shape.

What's new with you? Nothing.

Invented any new sundaes lately?

Eileen. Hiya.

I tried to call you
at the house,

but your sister said
you'd already left.

I have good news for you.
Oh, really? What?

I heard about an audition. Oh.

A... a rehearsal pianist who
comes in here, he told me about it.

When is it?
Where do I have to go?

It's in a theatre
on 42nd street.

The piano player's name
is Charlie,

and he said that if you
come right over, he'll fix it up.

Oh, frank, that's wonderful.

I don't know how to than k...

Pardon me, I couldn't help
but overhear, miss, uh...

This is Eileen Sherwood.

Eileen. Mr. Clark.

That's right, honey.
Chick Clark.

Reporter at large,
New York da/I ynews.

How do you do?

I'm pretty well known
around show business.

It so happens that the producer
holding the audition is a buddy.

Thanks, chick,
but I've already set it up.

But with a rehearsal pianist.

You're not gonna let
this lovely little girl

walk in with that kind of
introduction, are you?

That's certainly very
considerate of you, Mr. Clark.

Why, don't be silly. Life wouldn't be
worthwhile if we couldn't help others.

I'll just put in a call
to my friend and fix it up.

Oh, thank you. Be right back.

Now, isn't that nice.

Eileen, I wish you wouldn't
get too friendly with him.

Why?

Well,

he's a pretty smooth operator.

Oh, frank, he's just
trying to help.

Yeah, but he's not an agent.
He's a reporter.

You know,
I'd like him to meet Ruth.

She used to be a reporter,
too, on the Columbus cour/er.

Maybe he could introduce her
to his editor or something, huh?

Yeah.

Well, it's all set.

You'll have to hurry.
Come on, I'll walk you over.

Oh, ok. Bye, frank.

Wait a minute.
I'll come along, too.

Good.
That's not at all necessary.

It's ok. I'm on my lunch hour
in 5 minutes anyway.

Take over, will you, Fred?
Sure, frank.

Uh, don't you need some kind
of clothes to dance in?

Oh, I've got some rehearsal
shorts right underneath here.

I always come prepared.

Yeah,

you sure do.

Oh. Well?

Well, let's go.

Gee, I don't know how to thank
you, chick, going to so much trouble.

After all, you hardly know me.

Well, that's easy
to take care of.

How about tonight?

Oh, I couldn't.
Frank's coming to dinner.

This is it.

Hey, uh, why don't you
come to dinner, too?

It's only spaghetti
and meatballs,

but I'd really like
to have you meet my sister.

Honey, I just love
spaghetti and meatballs.

Oh, good. About 7:00? Right.

Well, here we
are. Oh, gosh, I'm nervous.

Well, you don't have to be.
You're gonna be great.

Sure you are. Well,
you wait here, lippencott,

while I introduce her
to the boss.

Uh, don't forget to say hello
to the piano player. Charlie?

Look, w-why don't you both
wait for me here?

If the other girls know I've got
any pull, it might be embarrassing. Ok?

Well, ok. If that's
the way you want it.

We'll wait for
you. Goodluck thank you.

Eileen.

Don't forget to smile.

J“j“

Eileen.

Well, what happened?
Did you get the job?

Did I get the...

They wanted to know
if I stripped!

What?
That's a burlesque theatre.

I didn't even get
a chance to audition.

He just looked at me
with those beady eyes and...

I've never been so embarrassed.

You two ought to be
ashamed of yourselves,

sending me to a place like that!

But I didn't know about it.
You ought to be ashamed.

I didn't know anything about it.

Miss Blyth, these'll be fine.

Have 5 copies sent up to
Mr. Parker at once, please.

Excuse me,
Mr. Baker wants to see me.

Your name? Ruth Sherwood.

His secretary called and said
he wanted me to come right over.

H-Have you any idea
of what he wants?

Not the vaguest.

Mr. Baker seldom confides in me.

Miss wilt, miss Sherwood.

Yes? Miss Sherwood is here.

Oh, send her in, please.

Yes, s/r.

Hi. That thing
look straight to you?

Oh, a little higher
on the left, I think.

Little higher on the left.

How's that?

That's better. All righty.

Won't you sit down?

Thank you. Wait a minute.

There you are.
You know, miss Sherwood,

in a year's time, I read
an awful lot of stories.

I'd say about one in 1000
has any merit.

About one in every
5000 writers makes the grade.

Lately, I would have bet you
it was one in a million.

Well, I told you that day in the
elevator that I thought you had talent.

I still do.

There we are.

You have it
when you write about something

you've had some experience with.

With which you've had
some experience.

Now, another qualification...
Oh, no, thank you.

All right. Another qualification

is perseverance,
and that you've certainly got.

Even in the face of those atrocious
love stories, you wouldn't give up.

Did you really kill
all these animals,

or just insult them to death?

Will you please let me finish
before you start swinging at me?

This story of yours, my s/ster
e/leen, I think that's wonderful.

You do?

I do. I haven't enjoyed reading
anything so much in a long time.

Now, that's charming.

It's funny. It's also very
real. Now do you get my point?

Obviously, you were writing about people
and incidents that you were familiar...

With which... that you
had observed firsthand.

What makes you so sure?

Well,

it's my business, miss Sherwood.
Here, let me prove my point.

First, you write
3 phony love stories.

All of a sudden, you turn
around and start writing

about your beautiful sister, Eileen,
that has a dozen men running after her

and she's got them dangling
like puppets on the end of a string,

wrapped around her little
finger. Well, that's delightful.

But by comparison, those
3 love stories, they're...

Well, they're
completely unbelievable.

They are? They are.

Now, where's the answer?

Suppose I told you
I don't even have a sister?

Well, all right,
then you don't have a sister,

she's a good friend of yours.
Whoever she is, she's real.

I bet you my bottom buck, she's
somebody you know pretty well.

Matter of fact, I'd like to know her
myself. She sounds like quite a girl.

Who is she?

Well, I... I hate to admit it,
Mr. Baker,

but you're
a very discerning man.

It just happens that

Eileen and the inexperienced,

frustrated,

spinsterish Ruth Sherwood
are one and the same.

[Gulpingl

you mean... uh,
you tell me that this...

All those experiences? You?

All those men?

Well, I guess
the single girls in Columbus

were happy to see you leave.

Well, it wasn't as bad
as all that.

I colored the story a little.

Well, naturally.

You know, literary license.

Yeah, what...

What about that, uh,

army pilot that flew
all the way from nome, Alaska,

to bring you a birthday present?

Oh, Danny Marshall.

He always was impulsive.

Yeah, well,
no wonder they voted you

the girl most likely
to marry a millionaire.

Well, every girl
gets voted the most likely

to do something or other,
doesn't she?

Yeah.

How come
you never did get married?

Well, I have to think
of my career.

Miss Sherwood, would you consider
having dinner with me tonight?

I-i-i-I'm sorry. I...

I'd love to,

but I have
a previous engagement.

Oh, that's too bad.

Gee, couldn't you break it?
I could sure break mine.

Oh, no, I couldn't.
He'd be terribly upset.

Oh, I'm sure he would.

Well, the least I could do
is drive you home.

No, i-i-I'd rather
you wouldn't. I...

Frank, uh... uh,
he... he said he might be early

a-a-and it might be
embarrassing.

He's terribly jealous.

Well, I just said
I was gonna drive you home.

You don't have to ask me up.

It's not up, it's down.

Mmm?

Oh, uh, thank you very much
anyway, Mr. Baker.

Perhaps some other time.

Well, it was nice seeing you.

I'll get a hold of you
about that story of yours.

Yes, uh,

thank you very much, Mr. Baker.

Just call me Bob.

Oh, gee, I'm sorry, honey.

That's all right, Helen, baby.

Say, did you ask the girls yet?

Not yet.

Boy, I sure wish you would ask
'em. After all, she's your mother.

Au_hghtj&readk we'll
ask 'em together. Come on.

Come on.

Ruth, where have you been?
I was so worried about you.

I wish you'd left me
a note or something.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I was in such a rush.

I got a call from Mr. Baker.

Oh, you did? What happened?

He liked one of my stories.
Really? How wonderful!

He didn't say he'd publish it.
He just said he liked it.

Oh, but that's a start.
Did he like you?

He invited me to dinner.

Oh, and what did you say?

I didn't accept. Why not?

Oh, he's a big bore, he's fat,

getting bald.

You wouldn't like him either.

Oh, what about you?

Your drugstore friend called
about an audition or something.

I know. I went.
Ruth, it was just terrible.

I was furious
at frank and chick.

I didn't know...
Wait a minute. Frank and who?

Chick. Oh, he's a boy
I met at the drugstore.

In fact,
I invited him for dinner.

I'm still
a little mad at him, but...

Now wait...

What...

Who is it?

Me and Helen.

Oh. Well, come in.

Hi, Helen.

Hi, wreck.

Yeah?

Well, gee, this is
a little embarrassing, but...

Well, you see, the wreck
and I have a problem.

Oh, well, we'd be glad
to help if we can.

What's the matter?

Uh, well, uh,

Helen got a letter
from her old lady.

She's coming here for a visit.

How nice.

Oh, it's not nice at all.

See, she doesn't know I'm
sharing my apartment with a man.

Oh, but it's a perfectly
innocent arrangement.

Yeah, but ma doesn't know
from innocent arrangements.

Well, we were thinking

maybe you girls wouldn't mind
putting me up in the kitchen? Yeah.

In the kitchen?

There's not enough room
out there to put up preserves!

He wouldn't be
any trouble, really.

And it would only be
for a couple of days.

And he's real handy.

Why, he could clean up
and do the dishes and...

But no sewing.
That's woman's work.

I guess we could put him up
for a couple of days, huh?

Now, wait a minute.

Oh, thanks, Eileen.
Gee, thanks a lot.

I just happen to have
a few of my things out here.

Eileen.

Boy, you don't know
what a help this is.

Gee, thanks, Ruth.

I'll bring my
toothbrush tomorrow.

Something tells me
you weren't quite ready

to leave Ohio.

Oh, but, Ruth, they're in love.

And besides, we'll feel a lot
safer having a man in the house.

If you had your way,
we'd live at the Y.M.C.A.

Something's burning.

What about this man
you invited to dinner?

Oh, yes. His name
is chick Clark,

and he's a reporter
on the da/I ynews,

and he's very attractive.

Honey, if it's all
the same to you,

there's a movie I'd like to see.

Oh, but, Ruth,
I invited him for you.

Why, he's very interested
in your work.

Oh, sure.
I bet he's so interested,

he can't wait to get you alone.

Oh, you got to get over
that attitude.

How can you ever expect to fall
in love if you don't meet any boys?

Who wants to fall in love?

J“ that might interfere
with my career j“

j“ and from what I hear,
men are not sincere j“

oh, I don't think
that's true at all, Ruth.

J“ why, they're only
big bad boys j“

j“ fellas can be fun j“

j“ and it's wonderful j“

j“ when you meet
that certain one j“

how do you know when
you've met that certain one?

What's gonna happen?
How will you feel?

How will I feel?

Well, it'll be like, uh...

I just know.

J“ there's nothing like love j“

j“ it's a grand,
grand feelin' j“

j“ it really is a gift
from up above j“

j“ what else in the universe j“

j“ thrills you so j“

j“ nothin' j“

j“ no, there's nothin'
like love j“

j“ there's nothin' on earth
that is more appealin' j“

j“ than walkin' with your fella
hand in glove j“

j“ what else gives a person
that sweet, warm glow j“

j“ nothin' j“

j“ no, there's nothin'
like love j“

j“ if I ever meet the boy j“

j“ what a lucky girl I'll be j“

j“ there might be greater joy j“

j“ but if there is,
you tell me j“

j“ there's nothin' like love
when the dawn comes stealin' j“

j“ and suddenly the stars
have lost their light j“

j“ he'll look in your eyes
and he'll sigh and say j“

j“ thanks for
a wonderful night j“

j“ and then you're all alone j“

j“ the sky is bright above j“

j“ and, oh, you're so aware j“

j“ that there is nothin' j“

j“ no, there's nothin'
like love j“j“

gee, I thought I was in love,

oh, at least a dozen times.

And while it lasted,
it was beautiful.

Yeah, while it lasted.

Well, at least when
the right one comes along,

I'll know it.
What have you got against it?

I don't know.
I guess I'm just chicken.

I know what's the matter
with you.

You just haven't met
the right one.

I haven't?

Uh-uh. You just wait.

One of these days,
a big, handsome hero

will come charging up
in a white convertible

and... and sweep you
off your feet.

May have the pleasure,
miss Sherwood?

I'd be delighted.

Uh, excuse me.

That's perfectly all right.

You're lovely tonight.

Thank you.

Let's see what we can do about
splitting 3 meatballs 4 ways.

Good girl.

J“j“

And skies are bright above j“

j“ a girl is so aware j“

j“ that there is nothin' j“

j“ oh, there's nothin'
like love j“

j“ nothin' j“ j“ nothin' j“

j“ nothin' j“

j“ nothin' j“

j“ oh, there's nothin' j“

j“ like love j“j“

Oh, did you make
some salad dressing?

Uh, yes, in the blue bowl
behind the milk bottle.

You better get ready.
Oh, you're right.

I borrowed a
pair of your stockings.

Iikdpe'hduemdnw'mhvd.

Of course not.
Oh, those were the boys.

Hurry.

Come in.

Hello. How do you do?

I'm sorry. Everybody does it.
Sorry.

We tried to fix it.

You must be frank lippencott.

That's right and you
must be, uh, Eileen's sister.

That's what they call me.

Of course,
you're a different type.

Yeah. Won't you sit down?

Whew, it's hot.

Eileen, frank is here.

I'll be right out.

Uh, would you excuse me
a minute?

Uh, she's not still mad
about this afternoon, is she?

I think she'll get over it.

Eileen's been telling me
about your drugstore.

Uh, she says you have
awfully good food.

Oh, the best. Reasonable, too.

From what I understand,
reasonable's not the word for it.

Good evening, Mr. Lippencott.
Good evening, Eileen.

Oh, we don't have
to use these...

I hope you're still not mad about this
afternoon, it really wasn't my fault.

Charlie, the piano player,
well, he never said a thing to me.

I'll bet. Let's move the
table. Let me help you.

No, that's all right,
we can manage.

So help me, it's the truth.

If it isn't, may I be
struck dead on this spot.

What the devil was that?

Oh, come in, Mr. Clark.

Is it safe?

Oh, of course. They're just
blasting for the new subway.

It doesn't happen very often.

This is my sister, Ruth.

How do you do? How do you do?

You still mad? Well...

Look, I didn't know anything
about that deal. I'll take an oath.

Don't do it. You'll get
the surprise of your life.

Oh, no. I'm not mad anymore.

I know you two boys
were just trying to help.

Well, now that we're all
one big happy family,

why don't we sit down?

Oh, sure. Of course.

Oh, please.

Thank you.

Uh, d-dinner will be ready soon.

It won't be long at all.

I wish we could
offer you a drink.

So do I. It's hotter
than blazes in here.

Oh, this is for you, Eileen.

It's a California
burgundy-type wine. Oh.

I thought it would go good
with the spaghetti.

Oh, thank you. It's a special
we're running this week.

So is our spaghetti.

I'll get the glasses and
some ice. Oh, no. No ice.

This is the kind of wine that should be
served at the temperature of the room.

Then you better cook it
a couple of hours.

Um, Eileen tells me you're
a newspaper man, Mr. Clark.

That's right.

She tells me you write, too.

Yes.

That's quite a girl,
your sister.

I've been turning her over
in my mind all afternoon.

You don't say.

This is quite a studio
you have here.

I've heard a lot
about greenwich village,

but this is the first time
I've ever been...

Here.

Frank! I'm so sorry.

What's the matter?
What happened?

The water wagon.
Oh, no, I'll get a towel.

Hello, darlings.
Oh, well, don't bother to knock.

I brought the plumber to look
at the wall. He'll only be a minute.

Mr. Appopolous, this is a fine time to be
conscientious. Don't you see we have guests?

Oh, my apologies.

By the way, I would appreciate
knowing if you intend staying on here.

A lady friend
of the previous tenant

has expressed interest
in this studio.

Mr. Appopolous, we can talk
about this some other time.

Hey, appopolous.

Will you excuse me
for a moment, please?

Good evening.

Oh, good evening, officer.

I see you're entertaining.

I guess you could call it that.

Well, enjoy yourselves,
but keep your noses clean.

What did he mean by that?

Oh, well, we've been playing
the piano too loud.

I can fix it, but you've
got to tear out the wall.

It's all rotted anyway. Look.

Ruth, what happened?

Anybody here like meatballs
and plaster?

Oh, isn't that a shame.

I'm sorry.

Oh, well, look, look,
don't worry about it.

We can go down
to the drugstore and eat.

Drugstore? Sure.

Look, I know a great little
spot near here, beautiful steaks.

And the dinner's on me.
How about it?

You talked us into it.

Oh, chick, how sweet.
Well, we'll get our things.

Don't mention it.

Hey, as long as
we're going to go out,

could we go some place
like the El Morocco?

El Morocco? Uh-huh.

That's very expensive, dear.

Oh, it is? Oh, I didn't know.

Uh, the special at the
drugstore is baked Virginia ham.

Oh, that sounds good.

Look, baby, you want
to go to El Morocco,

El Morocco it is.

Oh, isn't it wonderful, Ruth?
Oh, we won't be a minute.

J“j“

Oh, chick, this is so exciting.

I've dreamed about coming
to a place like this all my life.

Well, now that you've seen it, how
about you and me sneakin' out of here?

I know a spot uptown that's
just loaded with cozy corners.

Oh, but you seem to forget.
I'm frank's date.

You're supposed to be with Ruth.

Oh, she and that soda jerk
are getting along swell.

He's not a soda jerk,
he's the fountain manager.

Besides, you said you were
so interested in Ruth's work

and you haven't said a word
to her all evening.

Well, I am interested
in her work, honey.

I'm gonna speak to my editor
about her first thing in the morning.

Promise? Why, sure, baby.

Good parfait.

Is it? I'm glad.

Mmm. That's... that's
quality ice cream.

Boy, Eileen sure
is a good dancer.

Yes, she is.

She's... she's really
a remarkable girl.

So pretty and talented.

She's got
a healthy appetite, too.

You're really stuck
on her, aren't you?

I guess
a lot of fellows are, huh?

Look, i-i-if you don't mind
my suggesting.

Oh, no.

Well, faint heart
never won fair lady.

You mean I should
take the bit in my teeth.

Nothing ventured,
nothing gained.

That's easier said than done.

I know what you mean.

I've seen a lot of girls come in down
the store since I've been workin' there.

Nice ones, too.

Never one like Eileen.

I-i-I'll never forget the first
time she came in the store.

Wow. I was filling
the sugar cont...

What's the matter,
you dropped somethin'?

Oh... oh, y-yes, my compact.

Well, good evening,
miss Sherwood.

Oh, Mr. Baker. Yeah.

Fancy meeting you here.

Uh, Mr. Baker, Mr. Lippencott.

How do you do? How do you do?

Well, um, shall we?

Now, may I present miss Stewart.

Miss Sherwood, Mr. Lippencott.

This is a very pleasant surprise.
Maybe you'd care to join us?

Thanks very much, but
we're with Ruth's, uh... friends.

A-A-As a matter of fact, we were
just getting ready to leave.

Oh, well, that's too bad. Well, it
was nice meeting you, lippencott.

Lippencott. Ruth was
telling me all about you.

She was?

Yeah. She's a very
remarkable girl.

I don't blame you
for being jealous.

Well, good night.
Nice to have seen you.

Good night. Good night.

He seems like
a very nice fella. Very nice.

I think he's got me mixed up with
somebody else though. Who is he?

He's just a fellow who's got
me mixed up with somebody else.

Would you like
some more coffee, madam?

No, thank you. The check please.

What's the matter?
Don't you feel well?

Well, how are you two
lovebirds getting along?

Well, Ruth's not feeling
too well.

What's the matter?

I'll have a daiquiri, please.

And a Gibson.

A daiquiri and a Gibson.
Yes, Mr. Baker.

I was telling you,
Mr. Powers was terribly upset

that I couldn't get
the bathing suit for vogue,

but I already had
a hand layout for Harper's.

With all the models in New York,

you'd think they could find one
to do a simple bathing suit layout.

Mm-hm.

Everybody
told me how hard it would be

to get started modeling,

but I didn't have
any trouble at all.

My folks wanted me
to be a stenographer,

but that takes so much studying.
You know, it's really amazing

when you consider that I've
only been in New York for 8 months,

and already I've had my picture on
the cover of 3 of the biggest magazines.

Amazing.

Gee, I'm sorry
you don't feel well, Ruth.

Yes, that's a shame.

Why don't you take
her home, lippencott?

Oh, I feel much better now.

As a matter of fact, I feel so
much better. I'd like to feel better.

Let's go some place
and have a drink.

Why, Ruth. Why not?

There are a lot of people having a
good time tonight, why shouldn't we?

Call a cab, chick.

Get a cab.

Ruth, put your shoes on.
You'll catch a cold.

Step on a crack,
you break your uncle's back.

Shh. It's after 3:00.

That's why
I've got my shoes off.

I'm tippy-toeing.

I don't care.
You put your shoes on.

Well, that makes
a... a grand total of, um,

uh, $27.52.

Half of which is, uh...

What is it?

Look at the bandstand.

They have concerts
here every Tuesday night

during the summer.

Oh, it's just like
kiplinger park in Columbus.

You know, Ruth used to play the
cymbals in the high school band.

Yeah.

Best little cymbal player
in kiplinger high.

Eileen was a drum majorette.

Really? Well, I played
2nd trombone at east Denver.

I was the ill wind
that never blew good.

How about you?

I never played anything
but the races.

Well, it's about time
you learned. Come here.

You can play this. What is it?

What does it look like?
It's a bass fiddle.

Of course, how stupid of me.

Eileen, did you bring your drum?

I never leave the house
without it.

How about you?
Let's hear a few notes.

It's beautiful.

Sound your “a”

Drum. Boom.

Trombone.

Ready?

1,2,3.

Chng! Boom!

J“ give me a band j“

j“ and my baby j“

j“ and an orchestration
for the syncopation j“

j“ we're the
real sensational beat j“

j“ give me that band
and my baby j“

j“ lordy, that's perfection,
tell it, rhythm section j“

j“ I have no objection
to heat j“

j“ give me that sound that
makes a gal and her fella yell j“

j“ hot diggity dog! J“

j“ I adore the swoony,
swoony baritone j“

j“ but tonight I want to jump
to trumpets and saxophone j“

j“ professor, I don't
mean maybe j“

j“ when I shake a footsie
with my tootsie-wootsie j“

j“ I could dance from here
to dear old dixieland j“

j“ baby, give me my baby j“

j“ and a band j“

Once more, everybody.

Once again.

Give me that sound:

J“ that makes a gal
and her fella yell j“

j“ hot diggity dog! J“

j“ I adore the swoony,
swoony baritones j“

j“ but tonight I want to jump
to trumpets and saxophones j“

j“ professor, I don't
mean maybe j“

j“ when I shake a footsie
with my tootsie-wootsie j“

j“ I could dance from here
to dear old dixieland j“

j“ baby, give me my baby j“

j“ and a good old ragtime j“

j“ give me some ragtime j“

j“ red-hot ragtime band j“j“

Thank you.

Ah, did you finish it?

I think it's delightful.

Yeah, so do I. But what...
Do you think it's possible?

You mean that the girl in the story
and the author are one and the same?

Yeah.

Well, offhand, I'd say no.

But then you never can
tell about us women. Why?

I think she kinda likes me.

I mean, why else would she try
and convince me

that she's the belle
of the ball, you see.

It could be she just wants
to get her story published.

Oh, no.

You think so?

You never can tell
about us women.

See if you can get her
on the phone for me.

Hello.

Well, hello.

You and your friends
ha ve a n/ce t/me last n/gh t?

Oh, yes. Wonderful.

Good.

By the way,
who was the beautiful blond?

Oh, her.

Uh, she's a... a friend
of my friend's friend.

I was wonder/ng. Are you busy
for d/nner ton/gh t?

Tonight?

Well, I do want to talk to you
about your stories,

and I know you must be awfully
sick of nightclubs by now.

So I thought it would be nice if we
just had a quiet dinner. At my place.

Oh. I think
that would be charming.

Wonderful. /'ll p/ck you up
around 7:00.

Oh, no, don't do that.
Uh, I'll be uptown anyway.

Uh, what's the address?

Oh, excuse me.

Just a minute.

I've... y-yes?

What is it? Yes.

I-I've got it.
Yes, thank you. I've got it.

Oh, good-bye.

Another guy for Eileen?

Not if I can help it.

Which way you want
these pleats turned?

Towards mecca.

Twice. Twice.

Oh, have some more coffee.

No, thanks.

No? Oh, a little bit of Brandy.

Yeah, I think I'd like that.
Excuse me.

I'll clear the dishes.
No, that's all right.

Leave 'em. Here, here.
Put 'em right down there.

Don't bother yourself with
those. It's not necessary.

I do it at home all the time.

That's all right, the maid
comes in, in the morning.

Have a seat.

You know, you're
a wonderful cook.

Well, thank you.
Just one of my hobbies.

I'm glad you like spaghetti.

That's my favorite dish. In fact, I
don't think I could live without it.

Well, I have to make
a confession.

Ieiymysaucedowni at papa
grenucci's on the corner.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Uh, by the way, I... I did some
work on that story that you liked.

I think I improved it
a little bit.

Would you like to read it?

I'd love to. Later.

Well, I don't want
to force the issue,

but something's come up that may make it
necessary for me go to back to Columbus.

Oh, come on. Let's not talk
about business now.

When do you think
you could let me know?

Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe tonight.

Oh, you know,
I can certainly see

how you wrapped all those men
around your little finger.

Bob, I'd like to explain
about that.

There's nothing you
have to explain about that.

That's just something
with which you were born.

Ruth, you know, you and I could
have a wonderful time together.

I mean, you're so intelligent, you
have such a great sense of humor,

and you're well-read, appealing.

Best of all,
you don't want to get married.

Oh, yes, of course. My career.

Ruth, um,

I may be taking
an awful lot for granted,

but by now, you must know that
you're very attractive to me,

and I only hope that I'm
a little bit attractive to you.

Oh, oh, yes, certainly. You are.

Oh, let's drink to it.

To us.

J“ it's bigger
than you and me j“

j“ it's mad
and yet it's right j“

j“ one mad
unforgettable night j“

j“ is worth a lifetime
of dreams j“

j“ we'd be fools to fight it j“

j“ it's bigger
than both of us j“

j“ it's fate, it had to be j“

j“ keep the moment tender j“

j“ why wait, let's surrender j“

j“ it's bigger than you
and me j“

j“ bigger j“

j“madj“

j“ the wildest j“

J“ what do you say, baby j“

j“ it's worth a lifetime
of dreams j“

j“ and we'd be fools
to fight it j“

j“ it's bigger
than both of us j“

j“ it's fate j“

j“ it had to bej“

j“ keep the moment tender j“

j“ why wait, let's surrender j“

j“ it's bigger than you
and me j“

You sure you wouldn't like
to read the story now?

You'll like the construction better
than the way it was constructed.

Now the construction's motivated by
the character's reaction to the motiv...

You know, you could make things
happen if they wouldn't, and vice versa...

Oh!

J“ why wait, let's surrender j“

j“ it's bigger than you j“

j“ and me j“j“

are you sure you want to publish
my story, or is this a package deal?

Come on, Ruth,
don't be so naive.

I'm no different than any of
the other men in Eileen's life.

Come on, twist me around your
little finger. Come on, twist.

Slow down.

You've got the wrong idea
about Eileen.

I have?

There may have been
a lot of men in her life,

but she never handled them
the way you think she did.

Didn't she?
No, she “didn't she.”

If you think you're gonna stuff
me and hang me in your office

with the rest of your trophies,

you're fishing
in the wrong stream.

Wait a minute.
I just want to explain.

Ruth.

Ruth.

Thanks for the dinner and the floor
show, but the prices are ridiculous.

Oh, wait. Please.

Look, the least you can do
is let me drive you home. No.

Oh, look, now, I don't blame you
for thinking that I more or less...

Oh, give me a dime.

What? Uh, I'll give you
a dime. What for?

For the subway.

Aw, come on.
You know this is so silly.

I just wanted to... Ruth.

Do you really think
you'll have to go back home?

I'm afraid so.

Unless something
happens tomorrow.

I guess I'd better go in.

I have to get up early
and make the rounds again.

Thanks for the fan.

Oh, it's a special this week.

You'd be surprised what a breeze
that little thing gives off.

Everybody in the store's
got a cold.

Well, good night.

Eileen,

I don't have many
responsibilities.

I live alone,
and I'm pretty frugal.

And, uh...

Yes, frank?

Well, I've saved a little money,

and if I can help...
Thank you, but we couldn't.

If you could just stay,

just a little while longer,

I'm sure something good
would happen.

Something good just did happen.

You're very sweet.

Good night.

Good night.

Eileen...

Oh, gee, Eileen, I wish you
didn't have to go back to Ohio.

It's going to be just terrible not
seeing you in the drugstore anymore.

Besides,

next week we've got
a special on wedding rings.

I know how much
you want a career.

I wish you all the luck
in the world, but, gee...

J“ if you said
that I'm the boy j“

j“ what a lucky boy I'd be j“

j“ there might be greater joy j“

j“ but if there is,
you tell me j“

j“ there's nothing like love
when the dawn comes stealing j“

j“ and suddenly the stars
have lost their lights j“

j“ you look in her eyes
and you sigh and say j“

j“ thanks
for a wonderful night j“

j“ but here I am with you j“

j“ the moon is still above j“

j“ and, oh, I'm so aware
that there is nothing j“

j“ no, there's nothing
like love j“

Were you there all the time?

J“ nothin', nothin',
nothin', nothin' j“

j“ no, there's nothin' j“

j“ like love j“j“

Hey, what's going on out here?

Oh, hello, wreck.

This guy giving you any trouble?

Oh, no. Everything's just
fine. I'm sorry we woke you up.

That's all right.

If you need me,
you just whistle.

I will.

Who is that?

Oh, that's the wreck.
Mr. Loomis. He lives upstairs.

Upstairs? Uh-huh.

Why is he sleeping down there?

Oh, you see, his girl's
mother just got in town and...

So he can't stay with her.

Who?

With either one.

You see, his girl works nights

and her mother doesn't know that

they're sharing
the same apartment

so... so he's staying
down here with us. You see?

No. Not exactly.

Are you inferring
there's something wrong?

I'm not inferring anything.

I just didn't think
that you and your sister

were quite that bohemian.

Bohemian?

Why, Mr. Lippencott,
I'll have you know

that we come from
a very fine old Ohio family,

and you've got a lot of nerve
thinking what you're thinking.

And I think you'd better leave.

Look, Eileen, I didn't mean...

You heard what the lady said,
buster. Get moving.

Now, just a minute, sir.

Here.

Ruth?

Oh, yes, dear.

I thought you were asleep.

Where have you been?

What's the matter, honey?

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing.

It's just so silly.

You and frank have an argument?

I thought he was so sweet

and kind and considerate.

But he's not at all.

He practically accused me
of being a loose woman.

My date just
took it for granted.

Your date?

You remember Mr. Baker?

Oh, sure.

He was the fat, bald-headed
man you said you didn't like.

That's not exactly an accurate
description of Mr. Baker.

Oh?

As a matter of fact,

he's beautiful.

Oh, Ruth.

For the first time
in my life I meta man I...

And I thought he...

And I was wrong.

Oh, honey, you didn't tell me.

What happened?

He wants to buy
one of my stories.

On conditions.

That must've been awful.

It wasn't entirely his fault.

Your smart big sister has
been acting like the village idiot.

Oh, well, it doesn't make
any difference now.

Tomorrow we'll be
on our way back to Columbus.

After tonight,
I... I just don't care.

Neither do I.

Anyway you look at it, honey,

we just didn't make it.

I'm sorry, honey.

That's all right, Helen, baby.

She up there?

Yeah.

I'm taking her to Grant's tomb.

Why don't you leave her there?

Hi.

Need any help?

Well, not now, than ks.

When we finish packing, maybe you
could give us a hand with the bags.

Sure, you just whistle.

Than ks.

It's not going to be the same
around here without you two girls.

I wonder what people back
in Columbus are going to say?

If we're lucky,
they'll say hello.

I wish I hadn't made that
crack at the country club.

Which particular crack?

Oh, you know.

I'll never set foot
in this town again

unless it's on
a personal appearance tour.

I keep thinking of dad.

All those letters I've written

saying how great we were doing.

Good morning,
my dear young ladies.

I'm here to take inventory.

Inventory?

Naturally, there's always
a slight possibility

that some item of value
might have been damaged.

Item of value?

Listen, papa, I could work this
dungeon over with a sledgehammer

and it wouldn't look any
different from the day we moved in.

Yes, and you said you were going
to give us back our money

if we weren't satisfied.
Well, we're not.

What are you talking about?
Who said such a thing?

I was one of the witnesses,
and I don't even remember.

And remember, you have
until 5:00.

Oh, I wish I could stay
till father's day.

I'd like to bust papa
right in the nose.

Sherwood residence.

Miss Ruth Sherwood?

Oh, who's calling please?

Yes, she's here. Just a
minute. W-Wait a second.

It's chick Clark's newspaper.
Mr. Baines, the city editor.

He wants to talk to you.
What does he want?

Well, I don't know.

But if it's a job, take it.
It's what we came here for.

Hello.

Yes, this is she. Her. She.

What?

Oh, yes, Mr. Baines.

Yes, Mr. Baines.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Baines.
That's wonderful.

Oh, yes, of course. A pencil,
paper, quick. What is he saying?

Just a minute,
I'll be right with you.

I'm all ready. I... I got it.

What is that, now?

Pier 63, sands street, Brooklyn.

Sure, sure. I understand.
I'll be there. All right.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it!
What did he say?

He's gonna give me a
chance to show what I can do.

An assignment over in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn? What happened there?

Well, there's
a Brazilian training ship,

you know, like Annapolis.

And I'm supposed to go and get
a human interest story.

Oh, how wonderful.

You see, chick was
some good after all.

Yes, I guess I owe
Mr. Clark an apology.

I thought he was just
trying to get around you.

And I still think so.

Well, do you know how to
get there on the subway?

Yeah, I can handle it. Oh!

What's the matter? The address.

Pier 63, sands street, Brooklyn.

Oh, here. Good-bye, honey.

Good-bye. Good luck.

Ooh. Wreck!

Hold everything, papa.
We may not be leaving.

Oh, isn't it wonderful, wreck?

Maybe we won't
have to go away at all.

Oh, that's great, Eileen.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Oh, excuse me.
I'll see you later.

Just a minute.

Ohjjflck. Hlbaby.

Oh, I'm so glad you came by.

I don't know how to thank you.

I mean, about Mr. Baines
and everything.

Aw, skip it. No, really.

It's the most wonderful
thing that ever happened to us.

All right. How about
getting some ice?

We'll celebrate.
Well, I'll get you some.

If Ruth does get the job,
how much will they pay her?

Oh, there's no telling.

But let's forget
about Ruth, huh?

And, uh, get your career
straightened out?

Don't do that, chick.

Don't be nervous, baby. Relax.

Uh, Mr. Appopolous might be
showing the apartment.

So, we won't open the door.

Look, I went through
a lot of trouble

to get you alone without that
eagle-eyed sister of yours around.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

That phone call Ruth got was
from the editor, wasn't it?

What are you worrying about?
I'm handling it.

It wasn't the editor.
I-It was you.

Well, look, it's gonna
work out the same way.

I'm gonna hand the story into the
city desk as a sample of what she can do.

Oh, you mean you sent Ruth over
to Brooklyn on a wild-goose chase?

Wild-goose nothing. I'm
letting her cover my assignment.

Now, what kind of a heel
do you think I am?

Oh, what am I going to say to
Ruth? She was... she was so excited.

Now, don't get tragic.

It's gonna be
good experience for her.

Oh, please, chick, leave.

Now, look, Eileen.
Put yourself in my place.

Don't do that, chick.

What's the matter with you?

Wreck! Wreck, help.

Help! Where are you?

What's the problem? Him.

Now, now, wait a minute, friend.

I don't want...
I don't want any trouble.

You win.

You know,
I look forward to the day

when the Bronx express
runs right through this room.

Oh, wreck.

It's ok. That guy won't
give you no more trouble.

I don't care about him.

It's Ruth that I'm upset about.

Oh, there, there, baby. You
just tell old wreck all about it.

Well, you see, he called Ruth

and Ruth thinks she's got a job.
I don't know how I'm gonna tell...

What are you looking at,
you old bat?

Wreck! Oh, no!

Oh, wreck,
I hope she didn't think...

Hold on, Helen, baby,
let me explain.

Helen, what's the meaning
of this? You know that man?

Listen!

Helen, baby,
wait a minute, will you?

Look, honey, I'm bleeding.

Look, I'm sorry, I...

My newspaper.

Let me out.

Wait a minute. Will
you let me out of here?

At ease.

Come on, now. Hey.

Now he fixes it.

Hello. Good morning, Ruth.

Now, take it easy and let me
do the talking for a minute.

I've got good news for you.
Who is this?

Who is... it's Bob.

Ohhneuzfvegot
someihflnsforytkl mr.Robertbaker.

It's men like you
that give men a bad name

and you're darned lucky that
Ruth doesn't have a big brother

instead of a sister.

Batten down the hatches!

What is going on?

Don't encourage them. What's
the Portuguese word for scram?

You mean they
don't speak English?

Not a word.
Oh, no. What do they want?

What do you think they want?

Piano!

- What cooks here?
- A piano!

They chased me all the way
from Brooklyn.

Most of them got lost
in the subway.

I'll fix it.

Gentlemen, I'm appopolous.

Appopolous.

I'm the owner of this building,

I must command you to leave.

What are they tossing for?

I got a hunch it's not me.

Come on, fellows, break it up.

Go away. Out. Go away.

The door, you know, out!

I don't understand.
I don't want to dance.

My sister doesn't rumba.

She doesn't samba, either.

Come on, leave her alone.

Look, we don't rumba,
we don't even do the conga!

Ohl

Oh, Ruth!

Ruth, do something!

Stop! Open the door.

Miss Sherwood!

Shh.

All right, all right,
all right, more conga!

J“ la-la-la-la conga j“

Ruth?

Is that you, Eileen?

Eileen?

Ruth?

All 0!

Papa.

Shh.

Shh.

Shh.

Come on, let's join the party.

Conga!

If you'll just
listen to me. I can explain.

Let me in there.

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

Imagine me, chairman of
the women's league,

a jailbird.

My only daughter mixed up
with a muscle-bound sex-fiend.

Yeah, ma, but I love him.

I can see the headlines now.

Sherwood sisters incite riot.

Create international incident
with Brazil.

Oh, frank's really gonna
think I'm bohemian now.

Not that I care.

You don't care
like I don't care.

Charlie, have a heart.
I'm sorry, wreck.

But I've got orders from the
state department in Washington

to hold everyone until
the matter is investigated.

Charlie, wow.

Can't I just see Helen?

Look, wreck,
don't push your luck.

I might forget I like you and
toss you in with the rest of them.

Sergeant, I'm senor arrugio.

Consulate general of Brazil.

Oh, yes, sir.

I have an order here
from the state department

for the release
of the naval cadets

and all of the unfortunate
people involved in the incident.

Yes, sir.

Charlie, does that mean
they're gonna let Helen go?

That's right. Wait a minute.

Look, Helen's old lady's
locked up, too.

I was wondering if you'd do me
one little favor.

So, now he knows
that there's a you and...

And I'm just me.

Oh, you should be
ashamed of yourself.

If I were any more ashamed,
I'd commit hara-kiri.

Oh, no. No, I mean, for having
so little confidence in yourself.

I don't know
why you want to be me.

Gosh, all my life I wished
I could be just like you.

Besides, how many girls
are attractive enough

to have the whole
Brazilian Navy chase them?

Come on.

You mean, we're free?

That's it. Let's go.

I was beginning to feel
like I belonged here.

Which one of you is Helen? I am.

Well, come on.
You've been bailed out.

What about me?

Well, what about you?

Gee, ma, I'm sorry.

Oh!

Can we go now?

Sure. Anytime.

You'll hear from us very soon.

Yeah, it'll have to be.
Thank you. Good-bye.

Now, where are our naughty boys?

We've got to figure out some way

of getting these bags
to the station.

We sure haven't got
enough money for a cab.

Do you think we should've
let dad know we're coming?

Nah.

Just burst in the door
and yell, surprise!

Come in.

Well, good afternoon there,
lovely ladies.

My name is Robert baker,
and I represent

the society for the rehabilitation
of habitual criminals.

First off, I'd like to know which
one of you is miss Ruth Sherwood.

Don't tell me.

That's you.

And you must be
her sister Eileen.

I'd know you anywhere,
and I've been dying to meet you

because I must ask you
about a flyer

who came all the way
from nome, Alaska,

just to bring you
a birthday present?

Tell me, did that really...

Now, look what you've done.

You go right out there
and apologize.

Well, I'll do
a lot more than that.

In the meantime, why
don't you start unpacking?

Ruth.

Ruth.

Ok, say it.
I-I've got it coming.

Your sister's very attractive.

She-she's beautiful, isn't she?

Yes, she's lovely.

She's got
a wonderful personality.

Yeah. She's got a great figure.

Yes. I was thinking,

maybe we ought to run her
picture along with the story.

Huh? That's one of the
things I wanted to tell you.

Your story's going to be
in next month's issue,

that is, if you agree
to my terms.

That's very nice, thank you.

There's something else
hnanttotellyou and I can't...

Oh, I remember what it was.

What was that for?

I think you're funny.

I think you're wonderful.

Really.

I think you're beautiful.

Eileen?

I, uh,

brought you a box of
chocolate-covered cherries,

they're a special. Oh, frank.

Miss sherwoods. Miss Sherwood,
come quickly. Very important.

Miss Sherwood, come out
quickly. It's very important.

Come on, come out quickly.
Very important. Come, Ruth.

Make room, please.

What's the matter?
What's going on?

Senor/ ta s.

Oh, hello. How are you?

My government wishes
to take this opportunity

to right
a most disastrous wrong.

Oh, isn't that sweet?

Because of your generosity
and understanding,

I have the honor
to present to you

the ribbon of the order of
Brazilian mariners, second class.

Oh, why, thank you. Thank
you very much. You're welcome.

I wonder what you have to
through to get first class?

Thank you.

They wish for you
to make a speech.

Oh, not me.
Ruth's the speechmaker.

Go ahead, Ruth.

Well, I...

Miss Sherwood, up here.

Well, on behalf of
my sister Eileen and me,

I... me, uh,

I'd like to thank you
and your wonderful country

for this great honor.

Actually, we didn't do
anything to deserve this.

All I did was say something
about the conga.
