I'm No Angel Page #4

that you'd enjoy being idle.

I'll be doing something.

Say, I've got a great idea.

Why don't you have supper with us?

We'd love to have you.

Thanks, but I've previous engagements.

That's too bad.

- It's been such a great pleasure to meet you.

- Thank you.

Permit me to say,

I think you're perfectly wonderful.

Coming from a woman,

that's a big compliment.

Delighted.

It's been charming to meet you lovely people.

Have a lovely evening.

Good night.

Anyway, you've been awfully kind.

I'll never forget you.

No one ever does.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Swell person, isn't she?

I'm so glad we met her.

How about taking a look at the lion

she works with?

Good idea.

We'll wait for Alicia.

Yes. We'll join you later.

Until then.

Don't be long.

All right.

Beulah, remind me to tell Flea Madigan

to get that blue book in here...

with the 400 in it. So I'll know who's who

and what's what in this town.

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Lawrence, huh?

Did you have a nice visit

with your lion tamer?

Alicia, she's marvellous.

You really should've stayed.

- Such good fun.

- Nonsense.

I can't see why everybody's

so absolutely gaga about her.

She's obviously a person

of the commonest sort.

Not at all.

Of course,

she would impress the men.

They all have low minds. And she's certainly

low enough to appeal to them.

Alicia, how can you say that?

We all have a right

to our own opinion and I think she's cruel...

and a very ill-bred person.

I've never been so...

I must get out of this place before I scream.

Can you imagine that broad

discussing me in that manner?

Say, I like them brocades.

- Order me six more pair in the morning.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Is you in to anyone else?

- I'm meeting all comers tonight.

Sorry, I believe I left my cane inside.

He says he left his cane.

Come in, Mr. Lawrence. Let's find it.

It isn't necessary, I know right where I left it.

- You got a good memory.

- I ought to, since I left it here on purpose.

You mean you planted that stick?

Sure.

Had to find a way to see you alone.

I've seen your show three times

and I think you're wonderful.

- You're dazzling, beautiful, gorgeous...

- Wait a minute, take it slower.

What I mean is, let's get better acquainted.

You know, we can have a lot of fun together.

You'll like me when you know me.

I'm not half bad.

If you're half the man I think you are,

you'll do.

- I am.

- Oh, well.

Come on, let's go out tonight.

I'll ditch the crowd.

- I told you I have a previous engagement.

- Break it.

- You'll never regret it.

- No.

I'd love to, but I've got to meet my aunt.

These relatives are a nuisance at times.

What about tomorrow?

For breakfast, lunch, dinner, anything.

Let me see.

Breakfast I have in bed, so that's out.

I don't eat lunch, and dinner...

We'll make it supper tomorrow night.

That's a date, then we'll go out.

I like sophisticated men to take me out.

I'm not really sophisticated.

You're not really out yet, either.

You got me.

Have I?

I guess I'd better be going

before they come in here and get me.

- Tomorrow night, then.

- That's the night.

Beulah, bring me my horoscope.

- Here it is.

- That's service.

That man sure is crazy about you, ain't he?

Crazy about me?

The guy's a pushover for me.

Thank you, Mr. Lawrence.

That will be delivered to Miss Tira today.

We will deliver the card to Miss Tira

on Wednesday.

All right, Miss Tira,

Mr. Lawrence has arranged for the account.

Yeah? Now let me see.

My, oh, my! Look at that.

I always love to be in bright lights

My streets are paved with gold

I found myself a new kind of man

Sing it, honey.

He's mine to have and hold

And how.

I'm in my glory when he's around

Yes, ma'am.

Found a new way to go to town

- Miss Tira, you got something.

- Something not bad, huh?

Not bad?

I've never seen such presents as this here

Mr. Kirk Lawrence done give you.

You sure skinned him pretty.

You only knowed him a week.

Yeah, but what a week!

He's crazy about you, same as all the rest.

I don't see how any man

could help loving you.

I don't give them any help,

they do it themselves.

You do keep me busy

keeping track of your gentleman friends.

I want to make it easy for you, Beulah...

I'm thinking about putting in a filing system.

Yes, ma'am.

Men don't mean a thing to me.

Be careful with that million-dollar foot.

I don't know, but me and men

do pretty well together.

What kind of men do you like, Libby?

I'm just crazy about dark men.

Dark men?

You ought to have a big time in Africa.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't get those nails too short,

or they'll think I bite them.

Miss Tira, I've been under the impression

you is a one-man woman.

I am, one man at a time.

Beulah.

Yes, ma'am.

Fetch me that importation.

You mean this one?

Yes, that Parisian one.

Yes, ma'am.

I play to win the game of romance

With high cards in my hands

But I've been trumped by an ace of hearts

That feeling's oh, so grand

Give me my parasols and fancy gowns

I found a new way to go to town

I'm high

Yes, ma'am.

I'm low

Takes a good man to break me

Sure does.

No man can shake me

Until I let him go

Oh de lum

Come on.

Is it a flash or is it a flash?

That's beautiful.

I know it's beautiful,

but I'm asking you is it a flash?

It's a flash, all right.

- Kind of daring, huh?

- Not for you, it ain't.

That's all I want to know.

If that's that house detective, tell him I'm...

I never will get used to this joint.

- Show the gentleman in.

- Yes, ma'am.

Get me my beads.

You mean that pretty necklace

you just had give to you?

Yeah, the necklace. I will say beads.

- Pretty, ain't it?

- I'll say it is.

I just wonder how much money that costs?

I couldn't tell you right now,

but I have an idea...

It ain't no he, it's a she.

Says her name is Miss Hatton.

- Miss who?

- Miss Hatton.

- Pardon me.

- Yes, ma'am.

So it's you.

You know why I'm here.

Hardly. You see I'm a lion tamer,

not a mind reader.

Then it might refresh you to know

that I'm Kirk's fiance.

Nothing refreshing about that.

- I want to know just what you intend to do.

- What do you mean?

You know you're making a fool of him.

He ain't any different than

when I first met him, not much.

Everyone knows we're engaged

and yet you're deliberately interfering.

I ain't interfering with nothing.

- If Kirk prefers my company to yours...

- No, he doesn't, he only imagines he does.

I'll admit the boy has got a great imagination.

It's perfectly obvious

what your intentions are.

Kirk has lots of money...

Wait a minute.

Whatever you're thinking, you're wrong.

I only like him like a brother.

You ain't got nothing to worry about.

- You're a liar!

- Say, listen you...

a better dame than you

once called me a liar...

and they had a sew her up

in 12 different places.

You're lucky I'm a little more refined

than I used to be.

And if you were as much a lady as I am...

you'd get out of here before I get real sore.

- You haven't a streak of decency in you.
