HE'S THE MAN WHO

HELPED US SO MUCH.

Fay:

I SURE COULD USE

SOME POWDER AND LIPSTICK.

SORRY, I LEFT MINE

COME ON, POP,

LET'S GET GOING.

YOU GET IN FIRST.

I WANT TO TAKE IN

THE SCENERY.

Johnny:
I'LL GE THAT STUFF FOR YOU.

WHAT ARE YOUR:

PLANS, FAY?

I SUPPOSE:

I'LL GET A JOB.

OH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

YOU CAN LIVE WITH ME.

A BIT LATE FOR THAT,

ISN'T IT?

I'D BETTER SEE

WHAT HE'S GETTING.

WHAT CAN I DO:

I WANT A LIPSTICK.

YOU HEARD ME.

OH, YES, SIR.

AS LONG AS IT'S RED.

WELL, UH, WE HAVE

A VAST ASSORTMENT OF SHADES.

YOU SEE, WHAT WOULD

BE SUITABLE FOR ME--

THAT IS, A LADY

OF MY COLORING,

WOULDN'T BE

SUITABLE FOR YOU.

I MEAN, UH,

FOR A BRUNETTE.

I TAKE PEPPER RED.

ANYTHING ELSE?

WHAT NEW FACE POWDERS

THIS HAND LOTION, AND MASCARA,

A JAR OF COLD CREAM,

AND SOME CIGARETTES.

YES, MA'AM.

YOU SURE YOU DON' WANT SOMETHING FOR AFTER DINNER?

DON'T STRAIN YOUR WALLET.

I'LL PAY FOR IT.

OH, FORGET ABOUT IT.

FIGURE IT AS A LITTLE COMING-OUT PRESENT.

AFTER A YEAR:

IN THAT BIRDCAGE,

I DON'T FEEL LIKE

WISECRACKING ABOUT IT.

[WHISTLES]

I NEED A GOOD:

OVERHAULING.

YOU'RE NOT KIDDING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THAT HELLO YOU GAVE

YOUR FATHER,

YOU'D THINK HE WAS

THE D.A. WHO PUT YOU BEHIND THOSE BARS.

NOW LISTEN, WARDEN,

YOU HANDLE YOUR FAMILY,

AND I'LL HANDLE MINE.

I'M JUST AS

UNIMPORTANT AS YOU ARE.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

OK.

YOU WANT A DRINK?

NO.

HEY, CURLY, GIVE ME

A BOTTLE OF ROOT BEER.

YES, SIR.

IT'S A GOOD THING

THAT STUFF AIN'T FATTENING.

I COULD USE:

A COUPLE OF POUNDS.

THAT REST CURE DIDN'T DO

MY FIGURE ANY GOOD.

DIDN'T DO IT ANY HARM.

GO AND JERK:

YOURSELF A SODA.

SAY, DOC,

YOU GOT SOMETHING TO TAKE OUT THIS SPOT?

OH, YES, MA'AM.

WE ALWAYS KEEP IT HANDY.

HOW'S THE VIEW

FROM YOUR ANGLE?

I'VE SEEN AS GOOD.

NO. WHAT DO YOU THINK

I AM--A LEOPARD?

OH, THERE'S ONE.

I'LL HANDLE THAT ONE.

HA HA! THIS THING

TELLS GREAT FORTUNES.

LISTEN TO THIS:

"YOUR FUTURE WILL BE

AS BRIGHT AS YOUR PAST."

WHAT ARE YOU:

GONNA DO IN L.A.?

OH, I'LL GET BY

ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

WHY DON'T YOU TRY

THE OTHER WAY FOR A CHANGE?

Third man:

EDDIE'S BET JUMBO A BUCK

THAT HE CAN'T WIPE UP

THIS WATER FROM THE FLOOR

BEFORE JUMBO CAN STAB

HIS HANDS WITH:

THAT KNIFE AND FORK!

WELL, WHAT'S I GONNA PROVE?

THIS IS GOING TO PROVE

THAT THE HAND IS QUICKER THAN THE EYE.

READY, FELLOWS?

YEAH.

[LAUGHING]

HANK, HOW'D YOU DO WITH

THOSE BURLESQUE DAMES?

WELL, MY GAL

HANK MUST TREA HIS DAMES ROUGH. THEY ALL GET HEADACHES.

WHAT DO YOU DO:

WITH BRUTE STRENGTH?

LISTEN, YOU'RE TALKING TO

THE GUY WHO FINDS 'EM, FEEDS 'EM, AND FORGETS 'EM.

WHO YOU CONNING,

HANK, NOW TAKE IT EASY.

I CAN GET ALL THE DAMES I WAN ANYTIME I WANT 'EM, UNDERSTAND?

HANK, TAKE IT EASY.

[CONTINUING

INDISTINCTLY]

[MEN YELLING AT ONCE]

COME ON, BOYS, GET HIM!

COME ON, I'LL PLAY

A GAME OF RUMMY.

A QUICK BRUSH-OFF

WITH THAT PHONY HEADACHE.

YOU KNOW,

I CAN'T FIGURE IT.

I LIKE THE DAMES,

BUT THEY DON'T GO FOR ME.

I'M STRICTLY A COLD WIRE

IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

FOR EVERY GUY:

IN THIS WORLD, THERE'S A DAME.

YOU JUST GOTTA WAIT.

YEAH, I'M WAITING,

"I LOVE YOU" WITH MY OWN TEETH.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

WELL, IF IT'S HER,

I'M IN AND READY TO GO OUT.

HELLO?

OK, SWEENEY.

I'LL TELL HIM.

UH-OH. TROUBLE?

YEAH. SOME LINES UP

IN THE MOUNTAINS ARE ICING.

THE INSULATORS:

ARE BROKEN.

HEY, COME ON, YOU GUYS.

EVERYBODY OUT,

AND WEAR YOUR RED DRAWERS!

WHY? ARE WE GOING

TO HAVE COMPANY?

OH, GOODY!

YAAAA!

THAT ICE LOOKS:

PRETTY BAD.

IT SURE DOES.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK

AT THE OTHER SPAN.

BOY, IT'S COLD.

BRRRR!

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH US

ON THAT INTERMOUNTAIN DEAL IN 1935.

IT WAS SO COLD THERE THA ALL YOU HAD TO DO WITH A COW WAS PICK HER UP, SHAKE HER,

AND SHE'D GIVE YOU ICE CREAM

INSTEAD OF MILK.

Man:
6 DELICIOUS FLAVORS?

EVERYTHING BUT PISTACHIO.

OH, BOY, MY FEE ARE FREEZING.

I WISH HANK WOULD

MAKE UP HIS MIND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

IT'S THE DEVIL'S

FOURTH OF JULY, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

Jumbo:
HA HA HA!

WELL, I WOULDN' MIND BEING WITH THE DEVIL TONIGH

IF I THOUGHT HE WAS

STAYING AT HOME.

I WOULDN'T RUSH IT,

EDDIE, IF I WAS YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA SPEND

A LOT OF TIME WITH HIM BEFORE YOU'RE THROUGH.

I GET IT.

HA HA!

LET'S CALL

THE DISPATCHER:

AND GET THE JUICE

CUT OFF.

WE'D BETTER BEFORE

THE LINE BREAKS DOWN.

HEY, YOU FELLOWS,

SCATTER, WILL YA? IT'S COMING DOWN!

LOOK OUT, POP!

COME ON! COME ON!

GET OUT OF THERE!

HEY, POP,

GET OUT OF THERE!

TOO BAD THE CIRCUI DIDN'T KICK OUT BEFORE IT GOT HIM.

I NEVER SEEN A GUY

GET HIT HARDER.

HE REALLY GOT COOKED.

I NEVER EVEN KNEW

POP HAD A DAUGHTER.

DID YOU?

YEAH.

EVER SEE HER?

ONCE.

I COULD CALL:

HER UP, HANK,

BUT AS FOREMAN:

OF THE CREW,

YOU OUGHT TO:

GO OVER AND TELL HER YOURSELF.

GEE, I AIN'T VERY

GOOD AT HANDING OUT THAT SORT OF STUFF.

IT'S BETTER

THAN A PHONE CALL.

UH, JOHNNY, WILL

YOU COME WITH ME?

YOU'RE THE BOSS.

I DON'T WANT TO--

OH, COME ON,

JOHNNY, WILL YOU?

OK, BUT I WON'T BE

MUCH HELP TO YOU.

WELL, THANKS.

Johnny:
