his friend Jack said... "

His friend's name was Henry. What

do you mean his name was Henry!

Kirk and Company on one.

Hello. Hello. I want to talk to the Colonel.

Yeah. I always thought

his name was Jack!

There's somebody over there

trying to pull something!

If they think they can kid me, they're crazy!

Hello! Kirk?

This is Ball.

I want 50 steel.

What? No!

50,000! Yeah. Right!

Where's Hyde?

He's in the barber shop.

He's always in

the barber shop!

You tell that fathead

for me that if he...

Oh...

This is a fine time

to be fixing your hair!

Well, I was only down in...

I don't care where you were!

If you paid more attention to the

stock market and less to your hair...

This is unfair, Mr. Ball!

Don't you "Mr. Ball" me!

Buy 50 more!

50 more. Now, you get down on the floor

where you belong!

Well, well, well,

how about my hair?

I don't care anything

about your hair!

Get out of here!

Well, is anything happening?

Why don't you get down there and find out!

Hello. Yes.

Oh, just a moment, please.

Miss Smith!

Oh, Miss Smith!

Telephone, please.

Oh, excuse me.

Yes?

Hello. Hello.

Hello! Are we alone?

I mean, can you talk?

Good. Well,

you've just made $18,000.

$18,000! What do you mean, $18,000?

That's right.

Two times nine.

Call me at once if you get

any more news. Goodbye.

Oh, wait! Wait!

What did you say?

What?

$18,000!

Oh, no.

This one is $200,000!

That's what he said!

That's what he said!

What?

Johnny.

What?

I'm going to buy a dog!

You know, one of those great,

big woolly ones, Johnny,

with the bangs all over

its eyes! Mary! Mary! Mary!

I know they have fleas but I don't

care. I've wanted one all my life.

Oh, snap out of it, please!

Johnny! Oh, Johnny,

we've just made $18,000.

9,000 for you

and 9,000 for me!

One of those great,

big woolly ones, Johnny.

Is there a doctor

in the house?

And 50!

And 50.

20 more.

20 more.

Get me Kirk and Company.

As your partners, J.B., we...

Oh, keep quiet! We don't

want to buy any more...

Keep quiet! Hello.

No, I didn't say that to you.

Hello, Kirk? Listen!

Yeah. All right.

Well, you get me all that you can

swing! We think it very unwise!

We absolutely refuse

to buy any more steel!

You'll run us all

into bankruptcy!

You're in bankruptcy now,

you fathead!

The only thing that will save

us is steel! My poor wife!

Go and sit down

someplace!

Get me Noyes and Company.

20 more.

Noyes and Company.

That was Mrs. Ball's lawyers,

Spitz and O'Neil. 20 more.

What do they want? 10 more.

10 more. Mrs. Ball is

divorcing you. Holy smoke!

20 more.

20 more.

Extra! Extra! Read all

about it! Extra! Extra!

Probably my old man

pulling a fast one!

I forgot. You don't know my old man, do you?

Fortunes vanish!

Let me see that, will you?

Hold that! Market crash! Worse than '29!

Hey, wait a minute!

Let me see that!

Say, where's the subway?

Well, what's the matter?

Come on, give me a nickel!

Where are you going?

Why don't you use the car? Subway's

faster. I'll see you later, Mary.

Hey, you big lug!

Give me my dime!

Stop doing that!

Hello. Hello.

Hello. Mr. Hyde.

Yeah. Lester? Yeah.

It's no use, J.B.

We can't turn it.

Looks as if everybody in

the country's selling. Yeah.

Now, take it easy.

Take it easy.

You did the best

you could. Yeah.

We might buy...

Oh, never mind!

All right.

Yeah. Goodbye.

Why don't you birds

go out and eat somewhere?

You, too, Lillian,

and get me a sandwich.

I have one for you

outside, Mr. Ball.

Put it on the desk.

Jenny!

Juny!

I didn't know!

There, there!

My gracious!

You know I'd scrub floors

for you, Juny!

I'd do anything!

We've been through

tighter squeaks than this. You

haven't scrubbed any floors yet.

But I would!

Of course you would,

and you'd probably do a fine

job of it. Thank you, Juny.

And...

And I forgive you everything.

Even the...

The girl at

the Hotel Louis.

Now, look here! You've got me

mixed up with somebody else!

I did spend the night

at the Hotel Louis, yes!

I don't expect you

to admit it!

After all, you're a

handsome, forceful man and...

Well, I'm not exactly

the debutante you married.

Now, Jenny!

I've got trouble enough!

Out of simple decency

you ought to...

I wouldn't talk about decency

if I were you, Juny!

Come in!

Hello, Father.

Hello, Mother.

Ha! The prodigal!

Anything I can do?

Anything but floor scrubbing.

Your mother's spoken for that!

How can you be

so cruel, Juny?

I'm not cruel, Jenny.

I'm just laying out the work.

When everything was

going so nice!

Every cloud has

a silver lining.

Never mind the weather! We got

a lot of things to worry about.

Why don't you look

where you're going?

Excuse me! Look what

I've got, Mr. Louis!

Come on! Come on up, Snooks.

And I've got something for you,

bowl of goldfish! Look. Put

them right here, Mr. Hornsby.

There are eight in there, I think.

Come on, don't act like that.

I am dying and she is

bringing the animals!

Did you see the papers?

Yes, I saw the headlines.

It says that certain party is tottering

and every time he's tottering I am tittering!

Oh, did something happen

to your hotel, Mr. Louis?

If he's in the soup,

the Hotel Louis is blooey!

Who's in the soup?

The certain party

that give you the sables.

What sables?

My dear young lady,

we are all alone.

Will you please

cut the tragedy!

But I haven't got

any sables!

I am trying to give you

my friendship,

and she plays puss-around-the-corner!

What is this, a horse?

No, smarty,

it's kolinsky!

Me and you both.

Well, if you don't believe me,

ask Mr. Van Buren!

Well, if it's just

the same to you,

I'd rather remain

on the sidelines.

He's the one

who told me!

Well... If this is sable,

he must've made a mistake.

You... You... You wouldn't give a

sable coat to a stranger, would you?

Who, me?

Never!

What was the name of the gentleman that

helped you order my supper last night?

Too far is enough!

The Imperial Soot

for one buck a day,

with breakfast, one egg,

I don't mention!

The bottle of Goulet 1919,

guinea pigs,

hunky-dorey! But when you tell

me that you don't even know

the name of J.B. Ball,

my dear young lady...

Do you mean to tell me that

old gentleman is J.B. Ball?

Mmm-hmm.

And you thought I took a sable coat from him?

Come on, Snooky. Come on, Mr.

Hornsby! We won't stay around here!

Get out from my hotel!

Put that back

in the icebox!

Such a humiliation!

That's terrible!

What do you suppose made it

crash? A little stock called steel

that you probably

don't know anything about!

This little stock dropped 40

points since it opened this morning!

I guess that answers

your question.

So steel went down?

Down is right!

Well, that's certainly

very funny.

It certainly is,

if you can take a joke!

No, I mean because

I told her it was going down

when that screwball

in the hall wanted to know.

What screwball in what hall?

I didn't see him,

but you know how it is
