No guilt,

And full of

self-pity.

Quite a speech.

You ought to hear it

in Chinese.

( door opening )

There are one

or two of us

Who care what happens to you,

Though I can't imagine why.

Jenny, I'm...

( sighs )

Sorry.

( knock at door )

Come.

Good evening, Mr. Orlok.

Where would you like this?

Oh, anywhere.

It doesn't matter.

Uh, the dinners are

in the warmers, sir,

Under the table.

Thank you, sir.

Good night.

Enjoy your dinner.

( door closes )

Man:

They've got another one now.

Man:

Who?

Are you ready?

Who?

Joanie man.

( laughter and applause )

Joanie man.

Joanie man?

Wait till you hear this.

What does she do?

Yeah.

She takes off everything

but her earphones.

( laughter )

Mm.

Well, I have to go

to work now.

Well, I think

it's just awful.

Can't you get switched

to the day shift?

Oh, it's only for

a few more weeks.

Yes.

In the fourth row?

Yes.

Do you really?

Yeah, from Lenny's.

Oh, no, no, no,

Joe, fourth row.

Fourth row,

behind him.

One, two, three, four...

I'm giving you

a memory test now.

I'm taking you back

to south Philadelphia.

Do I remember? I remember

the lady in green.

Do you?

Evidently,

that must be her daughter...

That's right.

Because I know the lady...

the lady in green...

( both humming )

Pardon me?

Man:

Lily from Philly.

Lily from Philly.

Lily from Philly!

Last week, it was Millie

from Philly and...

( television fades

into the background )

Hmm.

Don't go.

Ooh!

Bobby, Don't be silly.

What? You could

call them up,

Say you were sick.

One night, what's

the difference?

Oh, it's not right.

What should I wear?

Come on,

just tonight.

Oh, and besides,

it's too late now.

They couldn't get a substitute

For me that fast.

Oh, what do you mean?

The phone company's used

to emergencies.

Well, what if

it was an emergency.

Well, it's not

an emergency.

Should I wear

this sweater?

( television plays

in the background )

( applause on television )

Oh, it's got a run.

Oh, well.

I want to talk to you, Ilene.

Hmm. What about?

Hmm?

I Don't know

what's happening to me.

Why?

( applause on TV )

Oh, I get funny ideas.

Like what?

Oh, you mean, like

That I shouldn't go

to work tonight.

Does this run

look too bad?

( laughter on TV )

You Don't think I can

do anything, do you?

What?

I think you can do

anything you want to

If you put

your mind to it.

That's what

your mother says, anyway.

How do I look?

( laughter on TV )

Ooh, ooh.

Bye-bye, dear.

Oh, Don't take my car.

Hmm?

Take my mother's.

Oh, why?

Well, I've got

to change the oil.

Oh, okay. Bye.

Ilene:

Uh, Bobby wants me

to use your car tonight.

Is it okay?

Charlotte:

Why certainly, dear.

The keys are in the ignition.

Ilene:

Okay, well, bye now.

Charlotte:

Good night, dear.

Robert:

Good night.

Charlotte:

Drive carefully.

Ilene:

Uh-huh. Bye.

( footsteps moving away )

As a matter of fact,

She and you are my first

undiscovered talents.

That's right.

Yes.

I am probably

the first one.

Yes...

( car door closes )

( laughter on TV )

I'm still waiting.

No, you're not.

You are right now

a very big personality

In the home

of every television owner.

Yeah!

( laughter and light applause on

TV )

My press agent...

( laughter on TV )

That Busby sure looks good

for 72...

( laughter on TV )

The band feels

good tonight.

Isn't it... Isn't it

great to do this

Without boo-boo jumping in?

That's right.

Uh, have we something there

you want to, uh...

We're having

something

A little bit new

I think tonight.

We ought to keep talking,

and we won't have to do it.

( laughter on TV )

I just like to get

in the mood with you.

I like to feel, like

the Corsican brothers.

( laughter on TV )

It's more

like a dolly sisters.

( laughter on TV )

hooray for Hollywood!

Now here's a message.

Oh, yes!

Well...

Isn't he silly?

Huh?

I'm bushed.

So am I.

What did you

need your car for?

I'll be happy

when that bazaar is over.

What?

So will we all, huh?

Oh, I, uh...

Got to check

some of the hoses.

Okay. Well,

good night, son.

Come on, Charlotte.

I'll be right in.

Good night, sir.

Commercial announcer:

...And at very little expense.

You look tired, dear.

Don't tinker with that

car all night now.

I won't.

You really like that

insurance job, Bobby?

They keep you so late.

Well, sure,

it's a good job.

I spoke to your

brother today.

Oh, yeah?

Everyone's fine.

The baby has a cold.

Oh, that's too bad.

Charlotte?

Well, good night, dear.

Not too late now. Promise?

I promise.

That's a good boy.

Charlotte?
