It Should Happen to You Page #5

and put my name on them.

Thank you very much.

- She's all yours, man.

- You were great, honey.

Just do that all the time. Just say

whatever comes into your head.

okay, whatever.

So the real value of discussion,

say, on a program lik e this...

...or this sort, for example,

is the point of view...

All she's got is nerve,

far as I can see.

Maybe that's all you need nowadays.

Four programs in one week.

She's making a name for herself.

Well, to get back to our topic.

A t what age should a girl marry?

It seems to me, Dr. Manning,

that it's very dangerous to generalize.

We have found now after many,

many years-

I quite agree with llka.

I know lots of girls who've been

married at 16, and very happily too.

Well, statistics show us that

an early marriage-

Connie, for a certain type,

maturity is terribly important.

- If you consider-

- Gladys, what do you think?

Well...

I think, if they're big enough,

they're old enough.

ut, now, seriously, Dr. Manning.

Don't you feel that the laws

governing this whole matter...

- ... are very outmoded?

- If you mean-

of course, llka.

Most of them were written

too long ago.

And by men.

Then, of course, there is the whole

question of the parents' consent.

To do what?

- May I just read-?

- I'm terribly sorry. our time is up.

Good night, and thank you

so much, Dr. Manning.

This is llka Chase saying

good night.

- Give me a double.

- A double what?

A double anything.

What do I care?

Anybody suggested to me

that this Gladys Glover thing...

...was gonna mushroom like this,

I wouldn't have believed it.

That's just the point.

We're more or less responsible

for starting the whole promotion.

- So why don't we get the benefit of it?

- What's the angle?

The average American girl.

There's a lot of penetration there.

Something the customer

can identify with.

Right. It's a whole new approach

to the endorsement angle.

Who endorses products now?

Movie stars, opera singers,

debutantes, six-day bicycle riders.

The whole thing's been done to death.

How's this?

"Stars use it. Celebrities too.

ut more important...

...it's the favourite of average American

girls such as Miss Gladys Glover. "

- I don't think she's so average.

- Why not?

- ecause she's unusual.

- That's what you don't seem to realize.

- What?

- The average American girl is unusual.

- How's that again?

- Exactly.

- He's got something there, .P.

- Wait a minute. Wait.

I see a big campaign...

...with photographs by,

say, Con Cooley.

That's enough.

That's it.

Not too languorous.

Now, give us a smile.

eep it " Glover. " That's it.

Good, good. Hold it.

Now, let's have the pose.

Now, let's have the smile.

That's good. That's fine.

Plenty of movement now.

That's it. Winter sports!

Smile again.

Enjoy yourself. Relax.

All right! Now, don't get excited.

Take it easy.

Is she all right?

Is she all right?

okay, babe? You're all right.

Don't be nervous.

Everything is fine. You can't fall.

That's a girl. All right,

let's go, fellas. Come on.

- You all right, Con?

- Smile.

Smile, now. That's a girl. Plenty of

movement. Come on. Enjoy yourself.

Smile. Now, let's make this

a good one.

Fine, fine. Come on, smile.

Come on, Gladys! Look lovable!

I'm pooped.

You know how much

you earned today?

What's the difference?

I'm too tired to count it.

What you need is a nice,

long, cool drink.

or a nice, long, cool sleep

would be better still.

How would it be if we stopped

up at my place?

- I don't know. How would it be?

- Excellent.

I get a wonderful breeze up there

from the river. We could relax...

- ... talk things over.

- What things?

oh, different things.

Different things from what?

As a matter of fact,

there's something...

There's something important.

I ought to take it up

with you tonight. It can't wait.

- It can't?

- No.

It's about a big cross-country personal

appearance tour that I had in mind.

- For me?

- That's right.

oh, I can't tonight.

Ive got a date, sort of.

oh, to do what?

To drive out to Westfield, New Jersey,

and meet these certain people.

That's a big drive

after a long day's work.

Yeah, but I promised this person

to meet these people.

What about our conference?

You see, I'd have to go to the board

first thing in the morning.

If I don't, it'll be another two weeks.

Then it'll be too late.

Too late for the cross-country

appearance?

Well, for the arrangements.

Well...

- ... maybe I could ask.

- That's the way.

Imported.

- That's right.

- Great little car.

- I like it.

- I like it too.

Something?

What's a car like this worth?

oh, about 5000.

- Why? Do you want to buy it?

- Yes, I do.

only, I don't have 5000 on me just

now, and I don't get paid until Friday.

That's too bad.

You wouldn't take $11 and about

30 cents? I do have that on me.

- No.

- I didn't think you would.

- Hey, that's a nice shirt you got on.

- What?

- I don't wanna buy it. I just noticed it.

- Thank you.

I'm a great friend of Gladys.

- oh, is that so?

- Yes, it is so.

- She's a fine girl, Gladys.

- I'm not so sure.

- No?

- I'm still thinking it over.

There's quite a lot to her on the one

hand, but on the other hand, no.

- What did you say your name was?

- I didn't say.

- Sheppard.

- A dams.

I know. You're the fellow

she's working for.

- Well, I wouldn't put it that way.

- Well, what way would you put it?

Just trying to help her get

what she seems to want.

- How's is she making out?

- eautifully.

How are you making out?

- I can't complain.

- I can.

- What?

- You wanna hear me?

No, thank you.

Well, goodbye and bad luck,

Mr. A dams. I enjoyed our little chat.

Thank you.

- Yes, who is it?

- Me.

I knocked at your door.

I wanna see you.

- Well, youve already seen me.

- What?

You saw me, but didn't see me. I was

on the stoop. You went right by.

- oh, I'm sorry.

- There's this fellow waiting downstairs.

I know. Could you do this?

It's stuck again.

- Should I tell him to go?

- Well, he's waiting for me.

- He is?

- That's one of the things...

...I wanted to tell you. We have to

do the Westfield thing another time.

It's sort of business.

Look, Gladys, any other kind of date,

you wanna break it, okay.

ut this has been set up

for a week.

And when I go to the trouble of calling

my mother, and she fixes us dinner...

...and my father probably

even shaved.

- Maybe tomorrow night?

- Dinner will be cold by then.

- I feel just terrible.

- You should!

I have to tonight,

for the board of directors.

- What?

- A cross-country personal appearance.

I don't know what you're talking about,

and neither do you!

Please don't be nasty.

I'm so tired.

You're not too tired

to see junior down there.

- Listen, Pete, I'm over 21.

- From the neck down, yeah.

All right!

Can't you try and understand?

That's the whole trouble.

I do. I wish I didn't.

- ut it's business!

- What kind of business?

- That's some fine question, I must say!
