The Gang's All Here Page #6

I'm very sorry, but I am a very busy man, | and I am never disturbed at this time.

So I'm going to ask you to run away, | and take those poisonous things with you.

No, I stay and be a teetotaller too. | Maybe show me how to teetotal.

Miss Dorita, I am a businessman. | I go in for no foolishness.

- I am entirely business. | - Oh, I like that.

Maybe you show me how | to be all business too. Is it fun?

Well, uh, fun? Business? | Why, certainly not. It's not supposed to be fun.

- Oh, no? | - No.

Then I don't think I like it. | I like to have fun.

- You'll never make money that way. | - Oh, money, huh?

You have lots of, don't you? | Thousands and thousands of dollars, huh?

I've done rather well, yes.

Look, Dorita has only a little.

If she had only a few thousand, | she would not work for a boss.

She would work for herself | in her own nightclub.

Maybe you let her have | a few thousands, maybe?

Well, certainly not! | I never heard of such nonsense.

I never invest | in theatrical enterprises. Never.

Now, I want you to take | these two slugs I think they call them...

and you tell everybody you see | that I'm not to be disturbed.

- What do you invest in? | - Oh, well, several things.

- I have an investment counselor, really. | - What is that?

- He's a man who handles my money for me. | - I have one of those too.

- Who is it? | - Phil Baker.

- Phil Baker, the actor? | - Yes.

- He handles your money for you? | - Only, when he handle my money, I never see it again.

- Like these fiive horses with letters. | - Horses?

- Yeah. | - You need say no more, Miss Dorita.

I understand why you never see | your money again. You're a foolish girl.

You should insist on sound investments. | Now, tell my wife-

- Maybe you could handle my money for me. | - Sorry. I have no time.

Oh, but how much time | would it took? How much time?

It takes more time | than I could afford to give.

Miss Dorita, I am in no mood | to listen to fiinancial suggestions.

Oh, come on here. | Sit by me.

Come on here. Sit by me and | tell me more about sound investments.

- Yes, yes. You have the busiest hands. | - You think so?

Sound investments? | Well, there are quite a few of them.

- Quite a few I haven't got money for. Just tell me one. | - One?

- Yeah. | - Well, there's National Copper.

- National Copper. | - That's very safe.

That's pretty. I like it very much. | Thank you very, very nice. Yes.

Well, uh, then, of course, | there's American Steel.

American Steel. | That's beautiful too. I like too.

Thank you very, very nice.

I could say Tel and Tel.

Tel and Tel. | I like that best of all!

- I hoped you would. Yes, I hoped you- | - Yes!

And did you play money | on this Tel and Tel?

Very often. | Quite a lot of money, yes.

- And she come in for you? | - Yes, if that's the way you want to put it.

I want to put it that way, yes. | I want to put all my money on her.

- On Tel and Tel? | - Yes! Thank you very, very much!

Buddy, what's the matter?

I don't know.

- But it's happened. | - What happened?

- Does that mean anything to you? | - No.

- Well, it does to me. | - I don't understand.

Oh, nobody is more surprised | than I am.

Mr. Potty, I'm afraid of you.

You are, really?

National Copper, eh?

American Steel? Well-

- Don't move! | - Mrs. Potty.

Don't mention my wife. | We're going to keep this all on an even keel.

Mrs. Potty-

- Do you remember the other night | when we danced together?

You do remember. Good. | You remember how I held you in my arms?

That's the way I'm gonna hold you now.

- No, no, no. Mrs. Potty! | - We'd like to be alone, please.

Darling, how marvelous! We were just | discussing the invasion- the investments.

It's Tel and Tel, Miss Dorita. | You mustn't forget it.

That's one of | our soundest investments.

You can't go wrong with Tel and Tel. | Can we, darling?

Tel and Tel! | Oh, Tel and Tel!

- Thank you very, very nice. | - Just a minute.

It wasn't my fault. | He swooped me off my feet.

Oh, chop, chop, chop.

So-

Well, old swoopy, swapping swoops at your age. | What have you got to say about that?

I told you, darling, | we were simply discussing investments.

I see. Is that the way | it's being done nowadays?

No wonder you come home | from the offiice so tired.

That's what I say, dear. | That's what I say. No wonder.

Oh. Ketchup.

No doubt. | And from a Brazilian tomato.

Darn it. | Hook me up, will you, soldier?

- Thanks. | - Excuse me.

- Hey, where are you going? | - Andy. Andy, welcome home, Son.

- Dad. | - I knew you'd do it.

Certainly looks good to see you again | after all these months.

- That goes double, Dad. | - Why didn't you wire me? I didn't expect you till evening.

I flew in. | Gee, it's great to be home.

But, Dad, what's going on around here? | The house is full of show people.

Don't worry, Son. I locked up all the silverware | and put all the breakable stuff away.

I've got a big surprise for you.

- Oh, Vivian. | - Come in, Eadie.

- Does that do it, Nanette? | - I think it will.

- Good morning. | - Good morning.

- My, but you look pretty. | - I hope so. Andy's coming home today.

That's right. I'm looking forward | to meeting your Andy.

- You'll like him. | - I'm sure I will.

- There, that does it. | - Thank you, Nanette.

- You're welcome, Miss Vivian. | - Well, what a coincidence.

- What? | - This frame. I have one exactly like-

What are you doing with this picture | on your dressing table?

- That's the man I'm going to marry. | - Are you kidding?

No, of course I'm not kidding. | It's a very good picture of him.

- I agree with you. | - You do? You don't even know him.

- Not really, but I've seen him. | - You have?

Mm-hmm. Look. | Tsk, tsk, tsk.

What would your sergeant | think of this?

I'll bet Dorita had something | to do with it.

You wait and see.

Tell me, Dad, | what's the idea?

It's a little surprise party | for you, Sergeant.

Being as you're opposed | to bachelor dinners...

we're staging a big show next door in | Potter's gardens, and you're the guest of honor.

No fooling? You're really doing all that | for me? Gee, that's swell, Dad.

Brought up the whole | Club New Yorker.

Brought up the whole show. | Well, what do ya know?

Say, wait a minute. | Did you say the Club New Yorker?

- Sure. | - But that means Phil Baker and Dorita and Eadie-

- Eadie's here, isn't she? | - You mean Miss Allen?

- Yeah. | - Sure. She's one of their stars. You know her?

Know her? I'm in love with her. | I'm going to marry her, Dad.

- Now wait a minute, Son. Hold on. | - It's true.

I came up to tell you- | to tell everybody.

See here, the excitement's upset you. | You don't realize what you're saying.

- You're gonna marry Vivian Potter, remember? | - Yes, yes, I remember.

- But that can wait. | - Yeah.

- Wait? | - Well, it's like this. You see-

I can't explain now, Dad. I've got to see | Eadie right away. Where is she?

- Why, she's next door with Vivian. | - With Vivian?
