until tonight, it'll take $150

more than we have left.

We're 150 short?

How can that be?

Well, darling, you don't realize

what all this is costing a week.

- We've been here three weeks.

- What's the difference?

Who cares about money?

Milady goes to the races,

cocktail parties, tonight dancing.

Have a good time!

That's all we came here for.

You don't have to be sarcastic. I've got

two pretty good prospects, you know.

Kay, do you think

either one is in love with you?

That's beside the point. Do you think

either one will ask you to marry him?

He certainly can't if I'm never alone

with either one of them!

And what's so funny?

We were so afraid you couldn't get

one millionaire, and now

you've got too many.

Oh, grow up. Yes!

- That's it! You're going

to have a birthday.

- Me? When?

Today. Tonight! That's why

we're taking you dancing with us.

- Oh, Kay, are you really?

- Yes. They'll be here any minute,

so you've got to get fixed up.

Let's see. You can wear my white dress.

And get rid of those glasses.

- Susan, get the white shoes.

- Mm-hmm.

- Hurry, now. Hurry.

- Am I supposed to look

good for a change?

Good enough to keep one of them interested

while I get the other one alone.

- Well, at least I'm doin' all right.

I've had a proposal.

- You have?

- From Jack?

- Already?

- Already. Now let's see you get going.

- I'll get going...

if Barbara could just split up the McNeil-

Bolton anti-proposal trust a little.

Which one of the gentlemen

would you like her to fascinate first?

Yes, Kay. Which one

do you like best?

Gee, I don't know.

They-They both have nice eyes.

- Now, ifJeff only had Phil's hair.

- Jeff has much the nicer hair.

Who cares if they're both bald-headed?

This is a business proposition!

Well, I've got a right to pick

my own business partner, haven't I?

- You know, I have a feeling

you'd pick Phil McNeil.

- Phil?

Yes, I guess maybe I would.

Well, here. You girls better

take this five bucks.

You may need mad money

before this night's over.

- Five dollars?

- You've been holding out on us.

- Where'd you get five dollars?

- Jack gave me a tip on a horse.

- The same one he won $150 on.

- Jack did?

Jack won $150?

Mm-hmm.

Bless his little heart.

Oh, Susan, we're so glad you and Jack

are getting along.

- He's a darling. Really, he is.

- You're so sweet. You deserve

a sweetheart likeJack.

- I think he's just the man for you.

- I won't do it.

- Yes, you will, darling.

- Oh, you can't refuse us.

- Positively will not do it!

- Oh, Susan, you have to!

You know how Jack feels

about gold diggers.

You know how the hotel feels

about rent dodgers.

You don't want to be kicked out.

What would Jack think then?

Well, anyway, he's only got

enough to pay up until tonight.

What'll we do about next week?

- We'll worry about next week next week.

- Oh.

They're here, Barbara.

Hurry up and get ready.

- Where's my scarf?

- You know, you're supposed to be

the vamp around here, not me.

I'll let them in. You go talk toJack.

Oh, the Miami twins.

Come in, gentlemen.

Company.! Halt.! Hut, two.!

- Now, what do you want?

- Let's see. What do we want?

Well, I've always wanted

the China wall.

We want you, the juice of the grape,

and a good hot dance band.

But right now, we'll settle for those

potato chips and cheese.

Yes.

Look, it's, uh, it's Barbara's birthday.

You know, my secretary, Miss Sears.

Well, I knew you wouldn't mind,

so I told her we'd take

her dancing with us.

- Oh, you did, eh?

- Well, that's certainly

big of you, Miss Latimer.

Good evening.

Well, Miss Sears

certainly improves with age.

I hope you're ashamed, putting up

such a holler against taking her along.

I beg your pardon. I insist she go.

Happy birthday, Miss Sears.

- Thank you.

- Congratulations, Barbara.

- Thank you.

- Say, she's good-looking enough

to be one of your own family.

What's the idea

holding her out on us?

I really didn't know

she'd turn out so well.

You knew it all the time. You just kept her

undercover so she wouldn't outshine you.

Don't get me in trouble

with my boss, Mr. Bolton.

If you want to say nice things like that,

you'd better tell me in private.

That I'll do. Come on.

Make an attractive couple, don't they?

- Good-bye, Susan.

- Good-bye, Susan!

Good-bye, everybody.

- Don't forget to bring home the bacon.

- Huh?

- Oh, oh. We ran a little short today.

- Good old Susan.

- And, uh, who is Susan?

- Susan? Oh, she's my maid.

- They've gone.

- Yeah. Gee, it's swell

to be alone with you.

- Is it?

- Yeah.

When I'm alone with you,

it don't feel like I'm with anybody.

- Oh, I mean-

- I know. Me too.

Say, uh, there's something that I've been

wanting to do for a long, long while.

- Yes?

- Yes.

- What?

- Uh-

I don't know

day from night

I don't know

left from right

I've got no appetite

Is that good

Huh?

I don't know

my own house

I don't know

moose from mouse

I don't know

north from "souse"

Is that good

I'm goofy

Punchy

So crazy for you

That I put salt

in a chocolate malt

And mustard on a honeydew

I don't know

Gin from tea

I sat down on a bee

But that lift you give me

Is that good

I can't sleep

Not a wink

I can't think

Not a think

I see stars in the sink

Is that good

I don't know sweet from swing

I don't know Kate from Bing

But I hear bluebirds sing

Is that good?

My cashier tells me

I act like a dope

I get my pay

throw the check away

Then try to

cash the envelope

I don't know what I do

But I do dream of you

And that dream

woo, woo, woo

- Is that good

- It ain't bad.

- Is that good

- Wahoo!

Is that good?

I'm woozy

Dizzy

I'm weak in the pins

But I know this. Every time we kiss

I don't need any vitamins

I go round in a trance

You got oomph

in your glance

We got ants

in our plants

- Is that good

- Yes, sirree

If it's good for you,

it's mighty good for me

- Why, uh, I think the squab, Victor.

- Uh, very good, sir.

The duck is very nice tonight,

Mr. Bolton.

Oh, no, thanks.

I'm not very hungry.

- Uh, just a chicken sandwich.

- On white or whole wheat?

Hmm?

Well, I know what I want.

Yes. How am I doin', pal?

- I guess that's it, Victor.

Coffee, of course.

- Uh, yes, sir.

- Oh, shall we?

- Let's not.

Well. Finally, a girl

who doesn't like to dance.

Oh, I like it very much.

Only, you don't want to,

really, do you?

- How'd you know?

- You're a little on the sad side

tonight, aren't you?

- What makes you say that?

- Oh, I've noticed a touch

of it several times.

Tonight, I could see

you were particularly sad.

In other words,

I'm just a sad man, huh?

- I know why you're that way.

- You do?

Mm-hmm. Out there.

Everything'd be perfect if that were

you with Miss Latimer, wouldn't it?

Everything'd be fine.

Have, uh- Have you and Mr. McNeil

been friends long?

Oh, yes. Years.

We went to school together.

- We've played around ever since.

- And, uh, every time you play, he wins.
