Employees' Entrance Page #8

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."

She's no different

from the rest of them.

I ought to slam you

in the nose for that.

Well, why don't you

do it? Are you yellow?

Yes.

Get western union and postal again.

Tell that girl Madeline waters

To drop what she's doing

and come up here right away.

Yes, sir.

Listen, you think I don't

know what I'm talking about.

I'm going to show you that I do.

I want you to sit right

here and get an earful.

Yes.

Has that girl come up yet

- The one I sent for?

Yes. She's here now.

All right, send her in and

keep after western union.

I'm getting them.

Come in, Mrs. West.

I just had a talk with martin about you.

Well, I don't think

There's anything more to

discuss about me. I'm leaving.

You're a nice girl.

I've nothing against you...

personally...

but you're interfering with

martin's career and with his life.

How much is that marriage

license worth to you?

What do you mean? Are

you offering me money?

Yes, to let martin go.

Listen, when martin

goes, he goes with me.

I'm leaving this store today,

And I want my husband to

get away from here, too,

You women think an affair with you

Is the most important thing

in the world, don't you?

A man's work and his success is!

That's not true. It's I. It's martin.

We're the most important things.

Please discharge him, do you hear?

I don't want him to get like you.

Oh, you've changed your

mind about me, haven't you?

I was all right for you the

first night I met you, wasn't I?

I was all right for you the

night of the party, wasn't I?

Let me see. I think you were married

to martin at that time, weren't you?

And that's what you call love.

You women make me sick.

Come on, come on! How much?

Would you kindly direct me to

the ladies' millinery department?

I don't work here.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

Step aside, people. Please move back.

Please move back.

What's happened?

One of the girls fainted.

It's nothing at all. They've

taken her to first aid.

Who is she?

Is it Madeline?

Come on, tell me!

Yes, it is. She's

- She's taken poison.

But they've taken her to first aid.

Don't worry, martin. She'll be

all right. I'm sure she will.

Yes.

Anything from western union?

No, sir.

I want to see you alone.

All right.

Well?

You see this?

Madeline took it!

They've taken her to the hospital.

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to pour this down your throat.

I'm going to pour this down your throat!

Here.

You might have a little trouble

pouring that stuff down my throat.

Go ahead, use it!

You think I won't?

Well?

I'm sorry, Anderson.

I'm afraid we're licked.

Thanks.

All right, go ahead, and don't miss.

I told you you were yellow!

You can't even shoot straight, can you?

Mr. Anderson, what happened?

Nothing, nothing.

I thought I heard a shot.

What do you people want in

here? Get out, all of you!

But there was a shot.

Do I look shot? Get out!

Yes, sir.

How's that girl who took poison?

Oh, she's fine. She'll get better.

You hear that? She's going to live.

I wish I'd killed you.

Sure, that's the spirit.

What did you want to save me for?

I don't want to be saved-Not by you!

You're not going to be saved

by me. You're not worth it.

I thought for a while I

could make something of you,

But I've changed my mind. You're yellow.

If not being the kind of a man you are

Is being yellow, then yes, I'm yellow!

If I had to be like you to be a

success, then I don't want success!

I'm going to take my wife out of here

- Out of this hole, out of this town!

I don't want to see this store again

As long as I live

- Or you, either!

Yes.

Tell western union and

postal to forget it.

Yes, sir.

Here you are, pal.

Mud in your eye.

Hair off your head.

Boy. Hmm!

Well, maybe after all,

You're the only kind of

woman a man should have.

Are you just finding that out?

How'd you like to go

to Paris, the Riviera?

With you?

Yeah.

Oh, stop. You're

killing me. Would I? Oh!

Well, why not? I'm all washed up here.

I don't have to sit

at this desk anymore.

I don't have to run this store.

Let it crack! I don't care.

We'll go to Europe and play.

I've never really played.

Maybe I've been missing something.

When I get tired, I'll pay

you off. That all right?

When do we start?

The first boat out. Oh!

Love.

We don't need love, do we?

No.

Oh, it's a lot of hooey.

Martin fell in love, and

the girl turned to me.

Go down and order yourself

A lot of clothes

- Anything you want.

Charge it to my account.

Darling, oh!

Anderson, I-

What are you doing with that hussy?

I'm saving you from blackmail.

Then there's good news for both of us!

I just got a cable from my cousin.

I'm voting his proxies for you.

What time is it? 7 minutes to 10:00!

We've just got time to

make it, then. Come on!

Let her go.

Well, these are the times

That try men's souls, Anderson.

Experiences like this

pull men close together.

Well, too close for me.

What is that stuff the barber

sprays you with-Vanilla?

Anderson, have you no gratitude?

Bah!

You've all heard the motion-

Oust Anderson and take over

The full management of the store.

As Mr. Monroe is absent

And his party votes are

not represented by proxy,

We will mark his shares not voting.

All in favor will signify

in the usual manner.

One moment, gentlemen!

Just one moment, please!

There.

By the authority of that cablegram,

I cast 40 votes to retain Mr. Anderson

In supreme command of

Franklin Monroe & co.

Sorry to have kept

you waiting, gentlemen.

You win, Anderson.

Where's the report on that

dress sale? Are you asleep?

Oh. Have Garfinkle's name

Put on the office door next to mine.

What for?

You're my new assistant.

Who said I wanted to be?

I said so. I broke you once,

And now I'm going to make you. Get out!

Thanks. If I get the chance,

I'm going to break you.

Congratulations, Anderson.

Get out!

Ha ha! You are the limit.

I'm ready. What about you?

Ready for what?

Paris and the Riviera.

Never heard of them. But you said-

I don't remember what I said.

Get out of here and stay out.

And tell Stephenson I want him.

How's the dress sale?

Give me the figures.

Yes, sir.

Then you mean we're not going?

No. I'm busy!

Oh!

And by the way... take off those clothes

And give them back to

the women's department.

Ooh! I hope you choke!

Yes.

Men's lavatory on the fourth

floor is out of order again.

Take it out and use it for a storeroom.

Yes, sir.

How do you feel, honey... better?

Oh, honey, I love you...

more than ever.

We're going to start all over again.

It's been done before.
