THAT CHICKEN'S THE MOS I'VE HAD TO DRINK

IN QUITE SOME TIME.

NOW, MR. TYROON,

LET'S GET BACK TO BUSINESS,

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WANT TO HEAR

ABOUT WIDGETS.

I SURE DO.

HOW DID A GIRL LIKE YOU

EVER GET MIXED UP WITH WIDGETS?

YOU MEAN WHAT AM I DOING

ON WALL STREET,

AND HOW COME:

I'M NOT MARRIED?

WELL, NOW, I WASN'T GONNA GET TO

THAT FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR SO.

I'M IMPRESSED

BY YOUR DIRECTNESS.

MR. TYROON,

GETTING MARRIED:

IS NOT THE ONLY THING

A GIRL CAN DO.

AND I LIKE WALL STREET,

AND I WANT TO SEE GIRLS

ACCEPTED THERE.

WELL, YOU MEAN

ARE GIVING YOU:

A HARD TIME?

UH-HUH, AND IF I CAN PUT WIDGE OVER, I'M ON MY WAY.

I MAY EVEN BE THE NEXT PRESIDEN OF THE WOMEN SECURITY ANALYSTS.

WELL, SINCE WE'RE DOING

ALL THIS SO SPEEDY-LIKE,

OH, NO, NO. NO.

NO. I-I SEE A LOT OF HIM.

HE'S AN ART CRITIC

AND VERY INTELLIGENT.

AND YOUR NEXT QUESTION

IS GOING TO BE:

HOW LONG:

HAVE I KNOWN HIM.

WHOO-EE.

THERE'S NO POIN IN MESSING WITH YOU.

YOU'RE AHEAD OF ME

ALL THE WAY.

I'M JUST NOT USED TO

BRIGHT GIRLS.

OH, YOU REALLY THINK

I'M BRIGHT?

MM-HMM.

OH, SO DO I,

AND NOBODY EVER TELLS ME THAT.

WHENEVER ANYBODY

WANTS TO SCORE POINTS WITH ME,

THEY TELL ME I'M PRETTY.

AND I GET SO TIRED

OF THAT WHEN --

WHEN ACTUALLY,

I-I'VE DONE S-SOME VERY...

INTELLIGENT...

THOUGHTFUL WORK.

WELL, UH,

HONEST, BOYS, I'M JUST OU FOR A NICE SOCIABLE DINNER.

HOW IS THE CHOW, MA'AM?

WELL, IT'S JUST ABOU THE BEST IN THE WORLD --

WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE

TO ENJOY IT.

YOU, UH, REALLY LIKE

THIS PLACE, HUH?

UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES,

IT CAN BE HEAVEN.

WELL, PEOPLE HAVE

A DIFFERENT IDEA ABOUT HEAVEN.

WELL, LET'S SEE.

THERE'S A FEW INTERESTING PRINCIPLES.

I MEAN, IT'S GO A HIGH MARGIN.

YOU KEEP THE PEOPLE

PACKED IN THERE.

AT A DOLLAR AND A HALF A SHOT,

THEY'RE CRYING TO GET IN.

BY THE TIME THEY HAVE

WELL, I'VE BEEN TRYING

TO DO THE RESEARCH,

BUT THE COMPANY:

DOESN'T ANSWER ITS PHONE.

What about that Texan

we set you up with?

I-I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE

TO REACH HIM.

Well, don't let him get away,

Miss Thatcher.

Speed things up. We've got to

get on to other things.

[ CLICK ]

[ SIGHS ]

GIVE HER ANOTHER MONTH.

OTHERWISE,

IT WILL LOOK TOO OBVIOUS.

ONE MONTH,

AND WE TRIM THE FAT.

OUT SHE GOES.

LEONARD, I SYMPATHIZE,

BUT I CAN'T LISTEN

TO YOUR TROUBLES NOW.

I HAVE TOO MANY:

OF MY OWN.

[ TELEPHONE BUZZES ]
