Employees' Entrance Page #6

Synopsis: Kurt Anderson is the tyrannical manager of a New York department store in financial straits. He thinks nothing of firing an employee of more than 20 years or of toying with the affections of every woman he meets. One such victim is Madeline, a beautiful young woman in need of a job. Anderson hires her as a salesgirl, but not before the two spend the night together. Madeline is ashamed, especially after she falls for Martin West, a rising young star at the store. Her biggest fear is that Martin finds out the truth about her "career move."

I tried to get out of it, but

he wanted to talk business.

Sometimes I think you care

more for him than you do for me.

Darling, he insisted

I have dinner with him.

I couldn't tell him about

us, and I couldn't say no.

You seem to be able to

say no to me very nicely.

Yeah, I'm a heel. Just a heel.

I'm certainly glad we agree

on something this evening.

What'd you want to

marry a guy like me for?

I didn't want to marry a guy like you.

It was another guy I married,

but I never see him anymore.

Why, the only night I get a chance

to go out with him, he stands me up,

And simply because Kurt

Anderson asked him to.

Well, let me tell you something.

I'll try a little stepping

out, too. I've got friends.

Oh. Going to make me feel sorry, huh?

I thought I came here

to have a good time!

Don't let me stop you.

Ohh, all right.

If that's the way you feel about it.

That's adorable. You

look just like a monkey.

Ooh, look out. Fall off. Shh, shh.

Nope. You have to have

an organ for that one.

Nope. Can't use it. Let me see.

Oh! Just a big man's little hat.

Give me a kiss, darling. Give me a kiss.

Ohh!

You forgot something.

You look familiar.

I'd like to be.

How do you get that way?

Very pleasantly.

I haven't seen you for a long time.

Not long enough, thank you.

Well, now that we've

seen each other, good-Bye.

Are you afraid of me?

No. Certainly not.

I dare you to talk to me.

Well, what about?

We might find plenty to

talk about, if you'd try.

you're the flower

of

my heart

sweet Adeline

Ha ha ha!

Oh, we ought to go on the stage.

Oh, a little went up my nose.

I think we'd better have

another little drink.

Yep.

Yeah. For once, I agree with you.

I agree with you perfectly.

Oh, wait a minute! Maybe

I shouldn't have any more.

I feel kind of foggy.

Go ahead and get foggy.

You're among friends.

Can I depend on that?

Absolutely.

Oh, I don't care.

Everything's all wrong, anyway.

Maybe I'm wrong about you.

Maybe I'm wrong about everything.

Who knows? I don't know.

Oh, look at the pretty balloon.

Aah!

Ha ha ha!

Oh!

What's the idea?

How about another little drink?

No, no. No more. Come on. Pull me up.

Ohh. Oh.

Oh.

Ooh.

How do you feel?

I feel all right. How do you feel?

Would you like to take a little rest?

Rest?

Yeah. Go up to 1032.

It's reserved for me.

Just throw yourself down, and

when you feel better, come on back.

I'll wait right here.

Room 1032?

Yes. The door's open.

Go right in and make yourself at home.

Ok.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Uh?

You all know what time it is? 6:00.

Ohh.

6:
00?

Yes, sir.

Ohh. Have you got any ice water?

I'll get you some.

Oh. Don't let anything stop you.

Yes, sir.

I'm on fire.

Going down?

Oh.

Good morning, Mr. Anderson.

Hi.

Well, how do you find

yourself this morning, my boy?

Ohh, I just looked under the table,

And there I was.

There are times for relaxation.

Last night was one of them.

I relaxed a little bit myself.

I hope you did as well as I did.

Oh, I did all right.

Well, pick yourself up, change

your clothes, and get on the job.

The party's over.

Yeah, but I gotta have an aspirin.

Forgive me, darling.

Forgive you?

I was pretty tight last night.

I made a fool of myself.

I guess I fell asleep

in the linoleum bar.

Anyhow, I was there when

I woke up this morning.

That's why I didn't

come home last night.

I'm sorry, darling.

Do you feel all right now?

Sure, I'm all right.

Who took you home?

Nobody.

I won't do it again. I'm sorry.

I just blew up, that's all.

I said a lot of things I didn't mean.

Oh, that's all right, martin.

Oh, you're marvelous.

Why don't you bawl me out a little?

You couldn't help it.

Oh, martin, tell me that you love me.

That's all I want.

More than anything else in the world.

Oh, it won't be long now, darling.

You can quit the store,

And we'll tell people we're married.

We'll have enough money to have a baby,

If we want one.

Oh, martin.

Madeline?

See you later.

Hello, Bradford. Have a seat.

I wrote you a letter, Mr. Anderson,

Telling you I had an important matter

I wanted to talk to you about.

You didn't seem to believe me.

I knew you'd come in here

if it was anything important.

I haven't got time to run over to

your office to talk about the weather.

It's not about the

weather, I assure you.

Well, let's have it, then.

I've spoken to Maclaine

of the first national bank

And bittle of the farmers

national, and my own bank, too.

Oh, we're worried, Anderson.

At a time like this, there

should be retrenchment,

Cutting down, not spending and

expanding, as you are doing.

You bankers make me sick.

You don't know how to

run your own business,

And you want to tell everyone

else how to run theirs.

I'm running this business.

On whose money, Anderson?

On the money that my brains and

labor have earned in profits,

That's whose money.

You're a banker, not a producer.

You haven't done a thing to

earn one penny of the profits

This business has paid into your pocket.

You couldn't go out and earn a nickel

In any business that required ideas.

All you have is dignity, and today,

you can't get a thin dime for it.

Now you listen to me, Anderson.

I won't listen to you. When I

want ideas, I won't come to you.

I'll communicate what you

said to the board of directors.

You'll probably hear from us.

I'm not interested in hearing from you.

You're not talking to some

scared little manufacturer.

It's not you who can let me down,

It's me who can let you down.

I know my stuff. You don't.

Anderson, within 24 hours,

There'll be a change in the

management of this business.

The board of directors

will meet in the morning.

Yes, sir?

Have Mr. Ross come in

here right away, please.

Yes, sir.

Well?

Listen, Ross, where's

Franklin Monroe's yacht?

Somewhere in the Mediterranean. Why?

He's got 40 votes on the board of

directors of this store, hasn't he?

Yes.

Enough to beat the bankers?

Yes.

Then I've got to have those votes.

I don't care how you get them,

Ross, I've got to have them.

Why, what has happened?

The board of directors

are meeting in the morning.

They're going to oust me and

take over the store themselves.

It means retrenchment, a thousand

employees thrown out of a job.

I've got to have those 40 votes by

10:
00 in the morning to save this store.

Anderson... I don't like you.

That's mutual.

Nevertheless, as against

outside interests,

You are preferable.

Oh, I know what it means

if the bankers get in here.

I may disagree with you on

some points of management-

If you're trying to tell

me that within a year,

It means bankruptcy for the store,

you don't need to say it. I know it.

Very well. I'll cable my cousin at once.

I'll get him to let me

vote his 40 votes by proxy,

But it won't be easy.

Mr. Monroe doesn't like you, either.

All right. Give him a chance

at revenge. But get busy.

All right.

Complaints.

I asked you to come up

at closing time, didn't I?
