That you don't have the slightest intention
Why shouldn't I go through with it?
It's what I've always wanted, isn't it?
I said that love doesn't count
and it still doesn't.
And I said that money does and there it is.
You don't mean
you'd wreck your life and Louis', too,
just because you're sore at me?
Oh, don't flatter yourself.
You don't even enter into my plans.
One moment. One moment, boys.
Tommy, you must do me a favor.
You know Louis
is taking over this place for tonight
and I want you and the boys
to give him a real entertainment.
- Please, you'll do it for me, Tommy, huh?
- Okay, Nick.
Fellows, you know, Louis won
a lot of money in the sweepstakes.
And he's taking the
place over tonight to celebrate.
Hey, slim.
Hey.
Keep an eye on your Kelly?
Watch your lid? Park your derby?
No, no, that's not the way.
This is a high-class place.
you smile and say, "Check your hat, sir?"
- That's it. That always slips me mind.
- It'll come to you gradually.
Say, how's business?
I ain't had a customer yet,
but I sure love the work.
Is that my old uniform?
It's too small for you, ain't it?
No, I'm just in it too far.
given this job to a girl.
But you can't get any.
They're all working in shipyards.
Louis.
- Louis, you look wonderful.
- Do I really?
Everything is just as you ordered it, Louis.
I mean, Mr. Blore.
Oh, you can call me Louis.
Money ain't changed me. I'm still lovable.
Here, hold this, will you?
Here's a couple of thousand bucks
to cover the brawl.
How'd that $5 bill get in there?
- Now, if you run short, let me know.
- Yes, sir, Louis. The place is yours.
It's your night to cut a rug.
Gosh, Louis, who'd have ever thought
Oh, I could tell. That's on account
of me feminine institution.
- Is she here?
- Who?
- May Daly, my fiance.
- Fiance.
I want to hear that from her own lips
before I believe it.
You will. You will, don't worry.
Hey, how do you like my glad rags, huh?
Hey, did you get
two pair of pants with that suit?
Louis, I hardly recognized you.
You look like something out of Esquire.
When I buy an Esquire
The bible of the well-dressed man
My pulse jumps ten points higher
But not because of each Dapper Dan
I don't go in for fashions
The only thing I go for
I love an Esquire girl
If you don't love an Esquire girl
You won't like steak, apple strudel
Angel cake, soup with noodles
You would eat an oyster
but you'd throw away the pearl
If you don't love an Esquire girl
I love a Varga girl
If you don't love a Varga girl
You'd laugh out loud at Whistler's Mother
Frankenstein is sure to be your brother
and cut off every curl
If you don't love a Varga girl
Those lovely pictures by Hurrell
I hang on every wall
They're so swell
I have to yell Hurrell for them all
If you don't crave a lovely girl
You've got a head, but what's below it?
You're half dead, but you don't know it
And if Lana Turner
doesn't set your brain awhirl
Then you don't love a lovely girl
If you still don't love a lovely girl
There's something you should see
The calendar that we present
For 1943
January, you resolve
to start the year out fine
February, you make every
heart a valentine
March, you're just a bit unruly
April, you're so April fooly
May, you're so romantic
with your magic touch of spring
June, you have each couple hoping
wedding bells will ring
July brings out that good old
Yankee Doodle in me
And August, what a wonderful
vacation you'd be
Sweet September, you arrive
and disappear too soon
But you bring October
November makes us thankful
for the blessings we hold dear
December makes us realize
it's been a lovely year
If you don't crave a lovely girl
You've got a head, but what's below it?
You're half dead, but you don't know it
And if Lana Turner
doesn't set your brain awhirl
Then you don't love a lovely girl
- Are you Mr. Louis Blore?
- No, that's him there.
Hey, Louis. Just leave it there. Louis.
Gee, it's beautiful, isn't it?
- L and M. Get what it stands for?
- Sure, ladies and men.
No, Louis and May.
- Take it to her dressing room.
- Yes, sir.
- Be sure and put it in water.
- Water?
- Here, put it over here.
- Oh, isn't that lovely?
- There's a cake for a king.
- Must have cost a fortune.
- Good evening, Louis.
- How are you?
Well, good evening.
- How are you, Miss Daly?
- Miss Daly.
- Come on, kiss the bride.
- Yeah, kiss the bride.
Kiss him, Miss Daly. We'll hold him.
I wish to speak to you, Louis.
Sure.
Alone.
Sure, just the two of us.
Sit down, please.
- I've seen the papers.
- Yeah.
Have you?
I see you wish to buy me.
Oh, gosh, no, Miss Daly.
I want to marry you.
Hey, talk to each other or something,
will you?
Well, I'm going to be
very honest with you, Louis.
You're a fine boy,
but I'm just not in love with you.
Well, if I was in your place,
I wouldn't be, either.
But you're in a position
to give me a lot of things that I want,
so all right.
But it'll have to be purely
a business arrangement.
- You know what I mean?
- Sure. Sure, you...
Hey, dance, will you?
Mill around. Talk or...
So, if you're satisfied with...
If you want someone who...
I mean, I'm marrying you
just for your money.
Sure, you'd be marrying me for my money,
but maybe you could
learn to love me just a little
and, well, I might win
another sweepstake and...
Well, if the terms are agreeable
to you, Louis,
I'd be most happy to accept.
Hey, everybody, guess what?
May's getting married.
To me, of all people.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Drinks for everybody.
And none of that 1942 champagne.
Give them the old stuff, the 1940.
You bet, Louis.
Oh, I almost forgot.
This is for you, Miss Daly. I mean, honey.
- That's a beauty.
- What a ring.
Hold it out.
- I guess this is part of our bargain.
- Well, come on, kiss her.
Oh, she's just excited.
She's never married me before.
Check your hat? Oh, sorry.
May, I gotta say something. I just gotta.
- What?
- Check your hat?
I love you.
Of course you don't have to say it
because I know you don't love me,
- but I wanted you to know...
- Louis.
You're very nice,
and I know you mean everything
you say to me but...
Well, I was just thinking that maybe I...
Well, maybe I...
Alec. Come on in and join the party.
Hey, what do you think?
Louis, why don't you get wise to yourself.
- She doesn't love you.
- I know that.
She's gonna marry me for my money.
Will you please keep out of this
and attend to your own affairs?
This is my affair.
Tell him the real reason
you're marrying him.
Go ahead.
Hey, don't talk to her like that
or I'll smack you.
Yeah?
And there's plenty more
