*

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

And watch your
step, please.

I'm certain that
any of you

who have wearily pushed

rich maiden aunts
in their wheelchairs

share my appreciation
of elevator shafts.

I also find the elevator
quite easy to operate.

It works just
like a yo-yo.

Well, not exactly,

but we do use the
same grade of string.

We are now about to have
our first commercial.

And I want
to assure you

that it will only
last 60 seconds.

I have to tell everyone
this, because I understand

it gives people
the sensation

of being trapped
between floors.

Courage.

There now.

You look absolutely
enchanting.

Haven't you a little
compliment for me?

Do you approve
of my new hat?

You're a darling, Vanessa.

Never, never mention age.

*

Age cannot wither us,

nor custom stale our
infinite variety.

*

Yes, dear, this week has
been a little depressing.

Anniversaries
are so dismal,

especially one
particular anniversary.

But I promised not to bring
up the past, didn't I?

Think of it.

Fifteen long years.

He'd be--
he'd be 47.

Why, if he'd lived--

Now we mustn't
get maudlin.

We girls have been
very fortunate.

Vanessa, you're really the
lucky one, don't deny it.

I know exactly what I'll
be doing this evening,

playing bridge with
the dull married couple

and their dull daughter.

And you, now, don't you
look so coy, Vanessa.

You know what
you'll be doing.

You'll be going for a
walk with your boyfriend.

You know, he
is good-looking.

A little young perhaps,

*

but so well-mannered
and polite,

almost naive.

Just the sort of
nice young man

that an old
charm girl like you

can wrap around
her little paw.

(doorbell rings)

Ah!

There he is now!

Let me straighten
your collar.

Now, do I
look all right?

Are we ready
to welcome him?

Bien.

*

Good evening, Eddie.

Hello, Miss Fox.

Well, you needn't
stand out there.

You want me to come in?

Well, I think by now

you can be permitted
to call on Vanessa.

*

Hello there,
Vanessa girl!

(barks)

*

You sure have a
pretty apartment.

Well, I'm glad you like it.

Vanessa and I had
a great deal of fun

doing it the
way we wanted to.

It's very nice.

There, you see, Vanessa!

Not every young man would
appreciate a room like this.

Thank you, ma'am.

Ma'am?

Heavens, Eddie, you make
me sound so ancient,

like something out
of Charles Dickens.

No!

No, no, call me Miss Fox.

Yes, Miss Fox.

Oh, Eddie, I'm
going out tonight.

How will you get in?

You could give me a key.

Oh, no, Vanessa
and I never permit

anyone else
to use our key.

Do we, Vanessa?

I'll have the
super let you in.

And from now on,
if any reason I'm not here

and Vanessa
needs her walk,

you can always
have him let you in.

Yes, Miss Fox.

You'll be here
tomorrow night, too?

No, ma'am.

Tomorrow is my day off.

Miss Fox, could I have
that $5 now, please?

But I gave you your $5 for
this week and for the next.

I'd like the $5 in advance.

Well, now, I don't want this
getting money in advance

to become a habit.

Are you gambling or
something of that sort?

Oh, no, no!

I would just
like the $5.

Vanessa.

What are we going to do
with this spendthrift?

You'd never forgive me

if I held out
on him, would you?

Here.

Thank you, Miss Fox.

Oh, Vanessa,
you naughty girl!

All over Eddie's uniform.

I've just brushed her.

All right, Eddie,
run along with Vanessa.

*

Tomorrow, young lady, you're
going to get your hair clipped

and your nails done.

You look so pretty when we
pay attention to your hair.

Oh, I know it's a bore,

but we girls must keep
up our appearances.

(doorbell rings)

*

Here.

Come on.

Come on.

Ha!

We'll go and see
who's calling on Mummy.

*

Oh, you're
such a problem.

Mummy's ridiculous problem.

Eddie!

Can I come in, please?

Yes.

I hardly
recognized you.

Where did you get
that dreadful jacket?

And Vanessa and I never wish
to see you unshaven again.

I--I've got to have $50.

-What?
-I know.

I have to send a
money order right away.

Well, if you're in
trouble, I'll understand.

I know sometimes--

No, ma'am,
you don't understand.

It's not for me.

Well, is it for your
father, or your mother,

or someone in the family?

No, not in the family.

Well, then who
is it for?

My girl.

Your girl?

Yes, you see,
she's been

in the sanitarium
for almost a year.

It's her lungs.

The state pays
half her expenses

and I'm supposed to
pay the other half.

And I've done
all right so far,

but then, I got
this, this morning.

Another operation.

She's only 20.

Twenty?

Well, I must say, half
her medical expenses

is quite a burden
for you to assume.

Yes, but you see, we're
going to get married

as soon as she gets
out of the sanitarium.

That's why I thought
you'd lend me the money.

Eddie.

You earn a
perfectly good salary.

$70 a week, that's
not my take home pay.

Well, I think you
should have managed better.

You've romanticized an
attachment to a sick girl.

Never for a second considering
where you'd get the money.

How do you think I manage
to live the way I do?

By planning.

I live on a
fixed income,

and every cent
is budgeted.

It's only $50.

Eddie, I couldn't
possibly spare you $50.

Yes, Miss Fox.

Excuse me.

*

Eddie!

Eddie, I--

*

Good evening, Miss Fox.

Good evening, Jerry.

(barks)

Honestly, Vanessa,

just because your
boyfriend has tonight off

and I have to
walk with you,

is no reason for
you to be cross.

(whining)

I'm not going
down there,

so stop being so
stubborn about it.

It's dark and
dirty down there.

No, no, Vanessa.

(barking and whining)

Very well.

You always
get your way.

Now, Vanessa,
let's turn back.

(screams)

(barks)

*

(barking continues)

*

Miss Fox! Miss Fox!

Here you are, Miss Fox.

Oh, thank you, Sergeant.

Now, beside the ring,

there was the leopard
muff containing $180.

I don't care anything
about the money.

I only want
the ring back.

Not only is it valuable,
but it's a memento.

Well, could you
describe the man?

Well, he was
a young man

of more than
average height.

I can still feel his
sleeve against my skin,

rough, cheap material.

Did he speak?

I only remember
Vanessa barking.

How peculiar!

Vanessa didn't bark
until he attacked me.

Almost as if--

As if she knew him.

Well--

(phone rings)

Sergeant,
would you mind?

Why, certainly not.

Hello.

Oh, speaking.

Good, I'll be
right down.

Miss Fox, do you
feel well enough

to go down to the station?

They've picked up
a man in a bar

about a block
from here waving

a wad of money, and he
can't explain the money.

He has a bad record.

You know, we could
wrap this up tonight.

I--

*

May I?

Thank you.

*

Take a good
look, Miss Fox.

*

No, it's not he.

Are you sure?

Couldn't possibly be.

*

Vanessa, you're utterly
irresistible!

(doorbell rings)

*

Miss Fox, I just
came on duty.

They told me you
wanted to talk to me.

Yes, Eddie,
please come in.

*

Eddie, you know I
was robbed of some money

and my-- my ring?

Yes, Miss Fox.

I wanted to see you
to ask your advice.

My advice?

Yes, please,
come and sit down.

Vanessa, run along.

There's a dear!

Oh, please, come
and sit down.

You see, Eddie, I don't care
anything about the money.

All I want is my ring.

I assure you,
whoever stole it

will have a very
difficult time

getting rid of it.

Sure.

A ring like
that would be hot.

Exactly.

So, you see,
whoever took it

might just as well
return it to me.

Well, he mightn't
figure it that way.

If I were to forget
the $180 that I lost,

and say no more
about the matter,

wouldn't you agree
that I was being

extremely lenient
with the thief?

He still mightn't
figure it that way.

See, he could
break the ring up

and sell the
diamonds separately.

Or he could wait
until the heat was off

and sell it out
of town somewhere.

Is that what you'd do?

Gosh, I don't
know what I'd do.

Eddie, if it were
you who stole the ring,

wouldn't you want $500

and no questions asked?

How could he be sure
that you'd keep your word?

Then, you don't think
my plan will work?

No, ma'am.

Very well, Eddie.

I merely wanted your advice.

You may go.

Yes, Miss Fox.

(doorbell rings)

Sergeant Kirby.

Uh, wait a minute.

You Eddie McMahon?

Yeah, that's right.

You walk Miss Fox's dog.

Correct?

Sure.

Yesterday was
your day off?

What of it?

Well, you were seen
leaving this apartment.

Miss Fox can tell
you about that.

Eddie, do you really
want me to tell?

What's there to tell?

Eddie asked me to
loan him $50.

I refused.

What did you
want $50 for?

Oh, something about
a sweetheart.

He-- he was really
quite desperate.

Miss Fox--

All right,
wait a minute!

Was it McMahon?

Well, I-- I hoped it
wouldn't come to this.

I gave you your chance
a little while ago.

I offered you a
great deal of money

and you refused.

I can still feel your
jacket as you choked me.

How could you
do that to me?

To me?

I didn't take your ring!

Can you positively
identify him?

*

That's a lie!

You know that's a lie!

I'm sorry, Eddie.

Believe me.

But I gave you
your chance.

Sergeant, would
you please excuse me.

I don't feel very well.

*

When your man
returned from the walk

with my poor little dog,

he definitely had
liquor on his breath!

What sort of an employment
agency do you run?

When will he be here?

Well, let's hope so.

Thank you.

Oh, Vanessa, darling,

I'll have to walk
with you myself,

unless we can find
the proper person.

Let's hope this
next one will be--

Will be someone we
can have a-- a rapport with.

Someone that--

(doorbell rings)

Ah, here he is now.

Sergeant Kirby.

(chuckles)

How very amusing.

I thought you were an
applicant to walk Vanessa.

Well, I haven't seen you,

good heavens,
since the trial.

The day Eddie was convicted,
almost a year ago.

Has he confessed what
he did with my ring?

About your ring.

Eddie McMahon never had it.

*

Never had it?

Do you remember the man
you didn't identify?

We picked him up
on another charge.

We found your
ring in his room.

He confessed.

He con--

But I saw Eddie,
I saw him!

Did you?

Well, I thought I did.

I was so positive.

An innocent man has been
in jail for almost a year.

Well, if I made a mistake,
it was an honest one.

After all,
you're the detective.

It was up to you to
check these things.

He had no alibi at
the trial, whatsoever.

A jury found him guilty.

On your positive
identification.

I'll feel a lot better
when Eddie is released.

Goodbye, Miss Fox.

Oh, Sergeant!

You forgot my ring.

We have to keep
it for evidence

until Eddie is released.

Well, I hope it won't
take weeks and weeks.

I'm sure Eddie feels
the same way.

Sergeant?

When will Eddie
be released?

Most likely tomorrow.

Why, Eddie.

How nice to see you.

Morning, Miss Fox.

Hello there, Vanessa.

I'm so pleased you
got your job back.

I spoke to the manager
about it, you know.

Eddie, you seem different.

People change a
lot in a year.

Eddie, I want
you to know

it wasn't easy for me
to testify against you.

I--

Well, I only
told the court

what I thought
was the truth.

This is your
floor, Miss Fox.

Will you walk
Vanessa tonight?

No, ma'am.

I'm afraid not.

If you only knew
how she's missed you.

Yes, ma'am.

Eddie, wait a
minute, will you?

Yes, Miss Fox.

*

*

*

Knowing you
were coming back,

I've been holding this
for you until we met.

You remember, I was prepared
to pay $500 for my ring.

I--

Well, I had
set it aside,

and I can't think
of a better use for it

than to give it to you,
as, well, shall we say

a birthday present or
a re-birthday present?

Come, Vanessa.

Oh, how is
your fiancée?

She died while
I was in prison.

*

Miss Fox.

Good evening, Jerry.

(dog whines)

Now, let's not
linger, Vanessa.

Let's take
our little walk

and get back as
quickly as possible.

We'll walk
to the corner

and call it a
night, shall we?

That's far enough, Vanessa.

Vanessa, for
heaven's sake!

What is so fascinating
about a row of tenements

and a lot of dirty shops?

Really, Vanessa.

*

I hate to think
I was becoming

a silly neurotic
about the dark.

(dog continues barking)

All right, dear, we'll go.

*

You're quite
right, Vanessa.

It's ridiculous to be
frightened of silly shadows.

We're both quite
grown up, aren't we?

But let's not tempt fate.

Let's come on
home now, dear.

That's right.

(objects clatter)

(meows)

(meowing)

(laughing)

A garbage can and a cat.

Vanessa, I
might expect you

to be frightened
of a black cat,

but me--

Let me catch my breath.

Come, darling.

Come, darling.

Let's-- let's go
home, shall we?

Oh, that-- that
was silly of me.

I'm so ashamed to have
lost control like that.

Vanessa enjoy her
walk, Miss Fox?

Oh, yes, thank you.

We both sleep
so much better

after a little fresh air.

I'll take you up, Miss Fox.

George had to
leave for a moment.

Good night, Jerry.

Good night, Miss Fox.

Now, shall we have
a little nightcap

before we go to bed?

And then a Brahms Intermezzo

or a Haydn quartet--

(screams)

*

(whines)

*

*

Ground floor.

Ladies' lingerie.

Men's accessories.

Notions.

I seem to have
missed again.

But it doesn't matter.

Our building, like
tonight's program,

has only one story
and you've seen that.

Oh!

Here comes the owner
of the building.

He doesn't like
his employees

chatting with
their betters.

I'll continue as
soon as he leaves.

I hope you'll
return next week

when we shall add
another story.

And now, if you don't
intend to climb aboard,

please step back
off the pad.

Going up.
