Mornin', friend

We recommend blue plate number two

Our food is the best

in the whole southwest

What can I do for you

I'll take hotcakes

and a glass of beer.

Mornin', friend

We recommend blue plate number two

Our food is the best

in the whole southwest

What can I do for you

I'll have a large glass of tomato juice

and a couple of aspirin.

Mornin', friend

We recommend blue plate number two

Our food is the best

in the whole southwest

What can I do for you

I'll have a double order of you.

- On toast.

- On white or whole wheat?

Barbara! Barbara!

Look, he's here! Come on!

- Have you got it, Joe? Have you got it?

- Now, girls, stop it.

- It's due here today!

- Stop jumping! Stop jumping!

- Oh, come on, Joe. Where is it?

- I'm not sure.

- I'm not sure now.

- We'll help you!

- Is it in there? Is it in there?

- Now, girls!

If the letter's here, it's here.

Your looking won't put it here.

- Please hurry, Joe.

- It'd be addressed to one of you sisters?

- No, probably to Aunt Susan.

- Miss Susan Latimer.

- Oh, please, please, please, please.

- Here. Here it is.

Bigelow, Bigelow, Bigelow and Bigelow!

- Yippee!

- Whoopee!

Susan! Look! It's here!

It's come!

- Joe just brought it.

- Open it! Open it!

- Oh!

- Come on, hurry, Susan.

All right. All right. Don't hurry me.

Don't get me excited.

Um, "According to the final will...

"whereas the state of lowa therewith,

therefore and whereas-"

Oh, get to the point quick, Susan.

How much is our legacy?

All right. Here it is.

"And your share of the estate...

"to be divided equally with your nieces,

Kay and Barbara Latimer is-"

Well, what is it?

$55,000! Oh!

- 55,000!

- I knew it!

- I knew it! I knew it'd be that much!

- Yes! Yes!

Well, girls, that's the end of that!

- How much is a third of 55?

- A third of-

Five, uh-

Let's see what it looks like.

$4,287.96?

- What?

- 4,000?

Oh, let me see it.

"Twelve percent federal tax, six percent

state tax, three percent probate tax...

"$2,500 administrators fees...

"4,800 to lawyers and therefore,

after these deductions...

the balance is $4,287.96."

Well, girls-

But, Aunt Sue, are you forgetting?

No, Kay. I'm afraid that idea wouldn't work.

We might even lose the 4,000.

But we agreed, didn't we, that if it was less

than 10,000, it was the only thing we could do?

Now, if we put it out in postal savings at three

percent with the good old U.S.A. behind it-

Oh, no, Susan.

We can't get rich that way.

Your idea is such an awful chance, Kay.

l-lt is sort of crazy.

Crazy? What's crazy about

marrying a millionaire?

That Southern Texas Gas and Power Corporation

is a mighty nice, safe investment.

Oh, please, Susan. Barbara.

- You still want to

go through with it, don't you?

Well, I don't know. I just don't think

you can marry a man without loving him.

But how long does love last?

Besides, it's just as easy to fall

in love with a millionaire...

as it is with a truck driver.

Truck driver, yes!

There is a 50 truck driver outside

waiting for you for service.

- You-You are all three-

- Quitting!

That's what we're all three doing, Mr. Simon

Legree. We're resigning! Walking out on you!

- We're going to Miami!

- Miami?

That's right, Miami.

Where rich men are as plentiful as grapefruit

and millionaires hang from every palm tree!

- Come on!

- And so long!

Miami.

Put 'em in the bedroom.

Mm-hmm.

Well, is this quite satisfactory,

Miss Latimer?

Why, yes, Miss Sears,

quite satisfactory.

I believe all this

will work out very nicely.

Yeah, this is some joint!

Susan, will you take care

of the bellboys, please?

Sure. Wait a minute,

kids. Here.

- All right, boys. Split this buck.

- Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Ah, Miss Latimer.

You have arrived.

I am Mr. Pretto.

Oh, how do you do, Mr. Pretto? And

thank you so much for these lovely flowers.

The pleasure is mine, Miss Latimer. I do

hope you find your accommodations suitable.

Oh, I'm sure they'll serve

their purpose.

After all, it's only myself,

my secretary and my maid.

Well, Miss Latimer,

your every wish is our law.

- Thank you, Mr. Pretto.

- Not at all, not at all.

And I hope you'll be as happy here

as Miami is happy to have you.

- Oh, that's very nice.

- Good-bye.

- Good-bye.

- Good-bye, Miss Latimer.

Did you hear that, Miss Latimer?

You've even made Miami happy.!

And you better be good.

- Oh, it's beautiful, Kay.

- Do you like it better than

the brown and white one?

- l- I think so.

- Hmph.

Let's see the back.

Susan, will you get this table and stuff

out of here, before I ruin my new wardrobe?

I used to eat my meals

in with the folks.

Now that we've inherited money,

I have to eat in the kitchen!

Shh! Suppose someone heard you?

Yes, and calling this place a joint

in front of those bellboys.

All right.

I'm doomed.

Might as well move

my bed in here too.

All my life, I've been trying to

get out of a kitchen.

Susan, the door.

I heard. I heard.

Always the perfect servant.

- Hello. Champagne for Miss Latimer.

- Huh?

- Good evening.

- I'm Miss Latimer.

Compliments of Mr. Jeffrey Bolton.

Really? And, uh, who is Mr. Bolton?

He's the gentleman who lives

across the court in bungalow "A".

- Oh. Did he see me arrive?

- No, he just told me to take care of everybody.

- Oh.

- He's the one giving the party.

You might have heard it.

- Oh, yes, we have.

- Sounds like quite a clambake.

Well, it's been going on long enough.

This is the third day.

Disgusting!

Oh, I'm sorry, madam.

Sorry, madam.

A party like that must be costing

Mr. Bolton a- a small fortune.

- To him, a mere pittance.

- Does, uh, Mrs. Bolton like it?

There ain't no

Mrs. Bolton.

Oh, say, I better not open this here

with all these dresses around.

I'll take it in the kitchen.

- Say, have you a fresh napkin, please?

- A napkin? Oh, yes. Here.

Thanks. Say, I should've been here earlier.

This'd gone kind of nice with your dinner.

Believe me, it needed something to

wash down that breast of guinea hen.

- For mine, I'll take a

good-old hamburger anytime.

- You would?

That's what I'd like, a girl to be

satisfied to tear a hamburger with me.

That's if I could find a girl

who could cook one the way I like it.

Yeah? Well.

You never had a hamburger till you've tasted

one the way I cook it-with guacamala sauce.

Guacamala sauce?

Sounds kind of interesting.

We'll have to go

into that sometime.

- You bet we will.

- Oh! Oh, excuse me.

Oh, my goodness.

- Oh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

- That's quite all right.

Sometimes this stuff

fizzes all over the place.

- I just didn't want to take any chances.

- No, of course not.

You're fond of champagne, I trust?

Oh, I don't know what I would have done

without it all these years.

- Here you are.

- Thank you.

- Madame.

- Oh, thank you.

- To the gracious Mr. Bolton.

- To Mr. Bolton.

- Something wrong?

- Oh, no! It's perfect!

Uh, that is, it's-it's quite nice.

I, uh, I suppose the hotel's full of
