Yes, Mr. Rocco.
Yes, I can make it at 4:00.

No, no. I said
I can make it at 4:00.

Fine.

Thank you.

Oh, Annie. Anne.

I'll try once more.
How about dinner tonight?

Sorry, Bruce.
Thanks anyway.

Oh, Annie, what are you planning
to be when you grow up?

An old maid?

Somebody told you.

What's the matter, brucey?
Losing your touch?

Aw...

Oh, no.

They're looking for big ones.
You're way too small.

I have an appointment
with Mr. Rocco.

Gee, I'm sorry.
Come on.

It's this way.

You're a singer?

Or a dancer?

Oh, a friend
of Mr. Rocco's, huh?

No. I've never
met him.

Rocco: What?!

A lady
to see you.

So what are you yelling for?
Bring her in.

Get me an alka-fiz
will you, Hussein?

I got terrible
heartburn.

Yeah. You want
to see me?

I'm Anne Leeds, Mr. Rocco. I called you
earlier about a secretarial job.

So you're the one. Ok.
Take a chair a minute.

What else didn't
I cover, Charlie?

Fifth of Jamaica.

The fifth.

Uh-huh.

Prince black,
a hundred on the nose.

Where are you gonna be tomorrow
in case I'm in the mood?

The first number.
The second's the day after.

Fly don't land,
you can't SWAT it, eh, Charlie?

That's right.

Well,
what can you do?

Can you tell me
what you need, Mr. Rocco?

Anything I say I need, you'll say you got.
That's human nature.

Besides
I asked you first.

All right.
I can take shorthand, type, file-

bookkeeping?

Uh...I'm very good
at figures, yes.

98 cases of bourbon,
$50.37 a case.

What's the bill?

Uh...

What's the matter?
Can't you do it in your head?

Well, no.
Can you?

I'm not looking
for a job.

But I don't see why I should ever
have to do it in my head, Mr. Rocco.

Well, now that you come to mention it,
neither do I.

Say, roc. Ma says I'm wearing too much.
What do you think?

I don't know, patsy.
Ask Tony.

Ah! He'll agree
with ma.

Then I'll agree
with both of them.

Take them off. Take them off.
Take them off.

I'll tell you the truth.
You're too young.

Because this kind of a
job calls for a person-

why don't you drink
that first, Mr. Rocco.

It's much better for you
while it's still fizzing.

Pardon me.

The guy
who invented that...

They ought to
give him a medal.

Now I was trying
to explain.

You see, I want a secretary
where I'll be able to say,

" tell that lousy liquor
company another batch like that

and I'll kick
their teeth out,"

and she'll be able to
answer it like a diplomat.

This calls for
an older head, see?

Uh...gentlemen,
the last consignment of liquor you sent US

was totally unsatisfactory.

Unless there is
a marked improvement,

the following order
will definitely be our last.

Yours very truly.

Hey, you speak a beautiful English,
you know.

I teach English
at a public school.

A schoolteacher?!
Now, Mr. Rocco.

You must have a pretty good education,
huh?

Well, I graduated
from Smith last year.

Never heard of it.
What kind of team they got?

Oh, it's woman's college.
A very good one.

But it seems to me there
would be a lot of places

more up your alley than this,
like a bookstore.

This is the first add
for part-time

that I've seen
except for one from a writer.

His attitude
was a little unfortunate.

Made pass, huh?

It figures. A writer sitting around
on his can all day thinking.

What else
has he got to do?

Well, it won't
happen here.

We got a house rule,
me and my partner.

No monkeying
with the help.

Were you thinking
of trying me, Mr. Rocco?

Don't rush me.

Here's an employment card.
Fill it out.

Tony...

Well, I thought
you were sleeping.

I had to waken you,
didn't I?

Listen, Tony,
come on down a minute.

I want to talk
to you.

All right. So you got
an appointment.

Time you spend yakking you
could be down and up already.

You work from 6 to 11,
6 nights a week.

$55 a week
and dinner thrown in.

Fine.
Thank you very much.

It's just in case somebody
drops dead on US,

we know where
to ship the body.

Tony,
I just hired US a schoolteacher secretary,

a college girl
from smiths.

No, it's Smith,
Mr. Rocco.

Yeah, that's what
I just said.

Never heard of it.

It's only the best woman's
college in the whole world.

Who needs it?

What's the matter?

You get up off the wrong side
of the bed or something?

Did you ever work
at a club before?

No. So what?

She's gonna work
at the tonic,

let her break in
at the tonic.

If your partner feels
that I would be-

if he hired you,
you're hired.

Don't make a federal case
out of it, huh?

You start tonight,
huh?

Uh...yes.
Thank you.

Come back at 6:00.
I'll show you the layout.

Won't hurt to have
a little class around.

Suppose we start picking
up the carriage trade.

I'm not interested
in the carriage trade.

I'm satisfied
with what we got.

You shouldn't be.

Young fellow like you,
you ought to be wanting more, better.

More and better what?

I'm free.
I got plenty of dough,

a club we run to suit US
and not the customers,

and sense enough to know
when I'm well off, Rocco.

You know what's
your trouble, Tony?

You got no ambition.

I got lots of ambition.

I want everything to stay
just the way it is

without any fancy secretaries who
think they know more than I do.

I like her.

You like her,
you got her.

I want to have her
place my bets.

I can't wait to get a load of
that bookie's face when she says,

3 on the nose
at hialeah, my good man.

Thank you.

Oh, miss Leeds.

Oh, good afternoon,
Mr. Shea.

Hi. The wife and I are going to
the merry daughters for supper,

so if you want to fix a little
something in the kitchen-

oh, thanks, but I start a part-time
job tonight that includes dinner.

Isn't that lucky?

I should say so.
What is it? A restaurant?

Sort of.
A place called the tonic in the east 50s.

That's a nightclub.

I know.
Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

Katie...katie.

Come in.

We're not the type of people
who mix with our roomers

whoever he
or she may be.

Is something wrong?

But a girl like you,
a nice girl,

I just have to say
what's on our mind.

Don't take that job
at the tonic.

Why? Do you know
something about it?

It was in my
husband's district

in his capacity as a
fireman before he retired.

The owner, that Rocco,
in prohibition,

he was one of the biggest
bootleggers there was.

Really?

But prohibition
was so long ago.

But a leopard never
changes his stripes.

If my Nora worked there,
I wouldn't close my eyes at night.

It's sweet of you to worry,
but it will be all right, really.

And if it isn't a nice place,
I just won't stay.

Now, will you do me
an enormous favor

and help me decide
which of these to wear.

Well, that one.
Don't even think twice.

If you have to go,
at least go covered.

Tony: It's the first time I caught you,
that's all.

You been at it a good
2 weeks every day.

Man: Give me
a break, Tony.

You said a mouthful.
I'm gonna give you a break.

All right, taste the food.
Taste, don't guess.

Taste
until you get fat.

Man: Give you
my word of honor,

you can't send them out
looking like that.

Rocco: I don't know
what's your beef.

You knew we were going to save a
few bucks and use old costumes.

Yeah, but not that old.
Not from the civil war.

Ah!

Hey, uh, baby...

Baby.

Come here a minute,
will you?

My new secretary.

Give me an honest answer.
Is anything wrong with that costume?

I don't know anything
about costumes.

Who says you got to be
an expert.

I just want your opinion
as a human being.

Make like
you're a customer.

You're sitting at the table,
the girls come out...

What do you think?

Well, I think I'd think they
were a little old fashioned.

Ha-ha!
You see, you see?

So make up
an old-fashioned number.

Wait a minute.

Maybe if we took
this off here...

They put them on
with spit.

Huh?

You know,
it looks better.

And if we took
this bit off here,

it might look
quite smart.

Tony: Got a new
stage manager, roc?

Homer don't like
the costumes.

Homer's right.
I ordered new ones.

The secretary works
in the office.

I asked her.

If you want to be sore,
be sore at me.

I'm not sore.

Hey, roc,
when are you gonna get yourself a new suit.

I don't need a new suit.
I work in the office, too.

Why don't you give
the kid a break?

She gets her salary, don't she?
That's her break.

Oh, what's the use?

Are you happy?

You got more costumes,
I got less money.

It's not my club,
Mr. Rocco,

and if you
don't care how-

homer, please...

Play it on the piano!

On the what?

Oh, on the nose.
Yes. Yes, I'll tell him.

Thank you, uh, Charlie.

Charlie the book, eh?
What's the news? Bad?

I don't know, but he says that Paula
Lee was scratched at the post,

and a horse called
puddy tat paid $7.50,

and you made something
called a round Robin.

Round Robin?
I made the round Robin?

Baby, put it there.

Oh, boy! For 2 years I've been
trying and you come along and do it.

Tell me,
was Charlie crying?

He wasn't laughing, no.

Dinner's ready.
You want it in the bar?

Sure. Whatever Leon made for me,
bring some for her, too.

You eat what the boss eats,
you can't go wrong.

Come on,
have a bite with me.

Don't you think
I better get started?

Baby, with that round Robin,
you're already started.

Looks quiet but wait.

In a couple hours,
it'll be so packed you can't breathe.

What they pay to sit on each
other's laps is a crime to take.

My new secretary.
The head waiter-eddy.

How do you do?

When the customers ask for the maitre d',
you call him Eduardo.

Who knows?

Hi, roc.

Ray, my new secretary.
Ray Anthony.

He's very big.

I know. I'm Anne Leeds,
Mr. Anthony.

Happy to have you
with US, Anne.

If he barks,
just bark back.

Nice clean-cut
young fellow.

With what he gets,
why not?

Hi, how are you?

Oh, Mike,
my new secretary.

Man: How are you
tonight, roc?

How are you tonight?
Regulars.

If we stayed open all night,
they'd stay open all night.

What do we got
to eat, Hussein?

Lasagna.

Good evening,
Hussein.

Anything else,
Mr. Rocco?

Yeah.
When she says good evening, you say it back.

Good evening.

He's got a teacher in high
school that gripes him.

He looks at you,
he thinks of her.

Go ahead, eat.
Don't worry.

Good, huh?

I can tell right away it's gonna kill me,
but I can't pass it up.

You shouldn't be eating
anything this heavy,

not when you had heartburn
this afternoon.

I get it
every afternoon.

I got to eat, don't I?

Yeah, but if you had
something light,

like a broiled lamb chop
and a green vegetable-

I'd still get heartburn.

I bet you wouldn't.

Oh, yeah. What odds
you want to give me?

Me and heartburn are
a cinch daily double.

Well, sitting
in a front booth,

eating your own food,
and laughing.

You saving money
on shills?

Why not?
What got you up so early, Ziggy?

I couldn't sleep.
What's new?

Her. My secretary.

Ooh. So that's what
they call it now.

He writes a column.
They all have dirty minds.

I want one, roc.

Right out
of the same barrel.

He's not a bad guy.
The dames don't like him.

Makes him
a little sour.

Tony.
Hi, zig.

Roc, did you take
reservations on the phone?

Yeah. Did I forget
to tell eddy again?

Well, never mind.
From now on, baby will keep me-

I'll be in the office,
Mr. Rocco.

It's time
I got to work.

Uh, miss, stop by
the kitchen, will you?

Tell Leon Mr. Hallerby
will be in at 9:00. Table 6.

Mr. Hallerby,
table 6 at 9:00.

Anything goes as long as
Leon cooks it himself.

Right.

You know who
she reminds me of?

My ex.

Well, that must
make you happy.

How much was it
Tina took you for?

Ok, wiseguy.
She reminds me of Tina

before Tina got to know
guys like me or you.

Anybody wants me,
I'll be at Washington market

looking at eggplants
instead of comics.

Believe me,
it'll be a relief.

Come on, roc.

Hey, roc.

Is this why every cent
I made I spent on you?

So you could chop onions
in a kitchen?

But, ma,
I got a whole lifetime before I go on.

Who's it gonna hurt
if she learns how to make

a simple dish
of sauteed chicken livers?

Is it wrong
if I have ambition

and I want you to be the
best hoofer in the world?

Lots of people cook for a hobby.
Ask anybody.

Ask her, the new secretary.
A college grad!

Isn't it a fact that lots of
famous people cook for a hobby?

Why, yes,
I believe so-

I don't need your advice,
big-brained girl genius.

Whoa! Ma!

She's crazy.

Uh, Leon,
Tony, uh...

What is his
last name, please?

Armotti.

Oh, thank you.

He said that Mr. Hallerby
will be in at 9:00, table 6.

He doesn't care what he eats
as long as you make it.

Oh, compliments.
Tricks just to get me interested.

If you made the lasagna,
I don't blame him.

Well...

You can come in here
anytime you like.

Go ahead,
make yourself at home.

Why, thank you.

Boys, men, and chef,
this could be the night.

Well, hey,
look at that!

Oh, Ivy, it's beautiful.
J-Just beautiful.

You're very sexy,
too, Leon.

It's true. I don't deny it.
I was born that way.

Oh, this is
the new secretary.

How do you do?

Well,
the wholesome type.

Camel's hair coat,
saddle shoes,

and just a teeny bit
of lipstick.

But don't you worry,
darling.

You can get over it.

I've never met so many amazing
characters in one place

in all my life.

Wait a minute.

If you mean Ivy,
she's a wonderful woman.

And only a schoolgirl like you,
taken out of the oven half-baked,

would dare to call
Ivy corlane a character.

But I didn't mean it
that way.

It's just that I've never
met anybody like her.

Please, please, the slumming
party in the kitchen is all over.

Good-bye.

Ooh.

Oh, can I do anything
for you?

I shouldn't think so.

Well, don't let me
bother you.

Hello, uh...

Mr. Rocco's office.

Uh, no, he isn't.
May I take a message?

Who did you say?

Yes.

Waxie's 10 is up
tomorrow...

What does Mr. Rocco
want to do about it?

I-Is that
what you said?

Waxie London. Been in sing sing 10 years.
Gets out tomorrow.

Does Rocco want to throw him
a party for auld lang syne?

Got it?

Oh, thank you,
Mr., uh...

Devlin.
Stowe devlin.

Thank you,
Mr. Devlin.

Massachusetts?

Newton.
Ditto.

Really?

Radcliffe?

Smith.

Harvard?
Sorry. Amherst.

I'm perfectly
satisfied.

Is it ever good to meet somebody
like you in this place.

Really? Why?

I just started working here,
and honestly,

it's like being in
a foreign country.

You don't know
what a relief it is

to run into somebody
who speaks my language.

Could I ask you a few
questions about the place?

Hmm...

I don't think so. No.

If you're in a foreign country,
you ought to learn the language

from the natives,
not another tourist.

Hey. Hi, counselor.
How'd you do in court?

Drew an honest judge.
Very irritating.

If you don't get off this "
Cook it yourself" Kick,

my chef's gonna quit
on me.

He's jealous,
that's all.

Thought you were
going to play me

a little handball
this afternoon.

I got a little
tied up.

With what?
Or is it with whom?

Announcer: And now it's show time,
ladies and gentlemen.

I'm gonna live till I die,

and a girl who's
an authority on living,

Ivy corlane.

Hello.

Mr. Hallerby, yes.
He has a reservation at 9:00.

Hold on. I'll see
if he's here.

* I walk around
with a horseshoe *

* in clover, I lie...

Could you tell me where table 6 is,
if you please?

The double table
over there.

Thank you.

Mr. Hallerby,
your secretary's on the phone.

Would you like to take it
in the office?

You're new,
aren't you?

Are you sure
it's all right?

Oh, yes.

Excuse me, honey.
Be right back.

* taking a chance

* on love

yes?

Oh, it's you,
Marian.

You idiot.
You pin-headed idiot.

What?

I knew if I kept at it
long enough I'd find you.

Yes,
it was clever of you to find me.

Believe me, dear,
I'm in the middle

of a conference dinner
with my sales staff.

You shut up
and listen to me!

Yes, dear. I'll
listen to you.

You come home right now!
Right now!

H-Hello?

You dim-witted
fool.

You lame-brained
sap.

Tony, fire her.

I think he's gone
out of his mind.

The one place that my
wife didn't know about,

and she has to tell
her I'm here.

How was I to know
that he-

quiet! Quiet!

Suppose you let me
handle this, Mr. Hallerby.

I want you to fire her,
Tony, right now

or I'll never set
foot in here again.

Sorry, but no one
tells me how to run my club.

Ok, ok, if that's
the way you want it.

I'll never set foot
in here again.

Isn't he horrible?
You should have heard him lying to his wife.

Groveling,
it was sickening.

Thank you so much,
Mr. Armotti, for-

take it.

The week's salary.
You're fired.

Because I didn't lie
for him?!

Partly.
Mostly because you just don't fit in.

I'm sorry.

Ooh,
you must hate doing this so conventionally.

What a pity you can't hit me like
you did that man in the alley.

Don't kid yourself,
honey.

If I caught you dipping your
fingers in the till the way he did,

I'd clip you, too.

But him, I didn't fire because he's
good at his job, which you're not.

Is that nice and clear?

Perfectly. If you're a thief or a liar,
you belong at the tonic.

Otherwise, you don't.

You tell 'em, sister.
Get a soapbox and tell 'em.

When you unload,
be careful.

That fruit
ain't made out of lead.

Man: Ok.

Hey, go home already.

Catch a little sleep.

Hey, Leon, eddy.
Good night.

Oh, thanks,
roc.

All: Good night,
sir Rocco.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
At least sit down.

You're always running away
when you're winning.

We're gonna play one more,
and don't cheat when I'm not looking.

Hey, what do
you say, roc?

Hey, you could eat
off the floor, Tony.

Look, pencils
with points.

Everything where
it ought to be.

An alka-fiz even,
so I don't have to send out.

The kid must have
put in a night's work.

What time
did she go home?

About 10:00.
I canned her.

What do you mean,
you canned her?

I mean I canned her,
I fired her.

She lost US hallerby.
You know how much a year we made on him?

She wasn't right for US, roc.
Why drag it out?

You know what
you're gonna do?

You're gonna get her back now
and you're gonna apologize.

What are you
talking about?

That's right.
You're gonna make her an apology.

I hired her!
Where do you come off firing her?

What are you all of a sudden,
running the club?

The boss? Why, you punk,
where would you be without me?

When I picked you off the streets,
you didn't have a-

I didn't have dime.
I was a big load of nothing walking around.

I didn't mean it.
Don't put words in my mouth.

You meant it,
and it's true.

I thought it was way
back in the old days.

I didn't think it was
still on your mind.

I'm not thinking
about it now,

and I never thought about
it in the old days,

and that's
on the level.

People get sore,
they say things.

Ok, I got sore.

I don't get it.
Just today, just since you hired that dame.

What are you
in such an uproar about?

Do me something.
I like having her around.

All right, all right.

Hallerby was blowing
his top, roc,

and I, uh...

Maybe I didn't give her
a fair shake.

Listen, roc,
it's pretty late.

Is it ok if I go
see her tomorrow?

Sure. Anyways, you
got company, huh?

Yeah.

You don't want
to come up for a while?

All of a sudden
he's getting generous.

Come on.
What do you say, roc?

Nah, nah, nah.
Too lazy.

Anyways, I want to lock up.
Go ahead.

Tony...

Yeah.

When you talk to the kid,
be nice, huh?

Yeah. Sure, roc.

Hey, Jack.
Jack, where can I find a miss Leeds?

Anne Leeds?

Yeah.

Are you
a friend of hers?

Well, do have to be
to see her?

Well, that's her room.

Thanks.

You'll have to wait
till class is dismissed.

All right.

You don't
have to wait.

I'd rather.

Children: Yay!

Oh, Anne, this gentleman
wanted to see you.

I didn't know
if you had the time, so i-

it's all right, Bruce.
Thank you.

Oh, I see.

Well, I'll be
right in here.

What does he think I want
at 5 to 12:00 in the morning?

I have no idea.
What do you want?

A couple of minutes.
A few words.

I guess places like
this don't ever change.

Would you come
to the point, Mr. Armotti.

I have a meeting
in a few minutes.

Ok. You can forget
about being fired.

Why?

Let's say
I changed my mind.

What difference
does it make?

Mr. Rocco made you come,
didn't he?

No smoking, please.

Now, nobody makes me
do anything.

He likes you.
He's my partner.

I want him
to be satisfied.

What do you say?

I say no.
Thank you.

There would be no point.
You took an instant dislike to me-

everybody has to love
you or you can't work?

I didn't say that.

There are 2 waiters and at
least 4 musicians at the club

who I know for a fact
hate my guts.

Let them.
I don't care.

Perhaps I'm not as insensitive as you.
I do care.

I'd be uncomfortable
and I wouldn't be any good.

Look, you got me
all wrong.

I haven't anything
against you personally.

I'll admit I'm a little prejudiced
against your type of girl.

What type is that?

Well...

Go on.

I'd be fascinated to hear
your considered opinion of me

based on one look
and 4 words.

The know everything,
been everyplace,

look down your nose at everybody type.
That's what type.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

How can you just assume
that's the kind of person I am?

Please.
Dames like you come into the club in packs.

You all look alike,
you all sound alike.

I spotted you the minute
you opened your mouth.

I may have some kind of new england
accent if that's what you mean,

but I can't help it any more than
you can help your New York accent!

What New York accent?

Of all the moronic things,

to make a snap judgment
based on nothing.

What do you mean,
nothing?

You got everybody's
back up in 5 minutes.

You prance in there as
if you owned the joint.

What should I have done?

Crept in like a mouse,
wrung my hands,

and cried, "Everybody
please be nice to me

" because I've never had
any kind of a job but teaching.

"I've never even been
away from home before,

and I'm finding it all
a bit scary"?

I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I lost my temper.

Anyway, I'm inclined
to think you're right.

I didn't seem to fit in,
and I did seem-

have you had lunch
already, Joey?

No, ma'am. Mom forgot
to give me the money,

but it's all right.
I'm not very hungry.

Dear, oh, dear.

Hurry to the cafeteria
before it closes.

You betcha,
teach-

and don't forget
to have some milk.

Joey: All right.

Poor child,
it happens 2 or 3 times a week.

And you shell out
every time?

He's a growing boy.
He can't go without his lunch.

You don't think maybe
he's playing you for a sucker?

You mean lying
to get money?

Yeah. Yeah,
that's what I mean.

Don't you have any
trust in people at all?

Hey, tell me, how long
you been teaching kids?

4 weeks. Why?

Baby...

Baby, you're green
all over, aren't you?

I don't think so.

My experience
may be limited,

but you don't have to learn
things by experiencing them.

There are such things
as books, you know.

You don't have to be a
chicken to make an omelet.

Say, that's a good one.

Oh, it's a very old one,
Mr. Armotti.

I have to go now.
Excuse me.

Something tells me you shouldn't
be running around loose.

Forget it, forget it.
What I mean is,

maybe I didn't
give you a fair shake.

Let's make out like nothing
happened and start all over, huh?

What do you got to lose?
You can always quit.

That's true.

All right.
Tell Mr. Rocco I'll be there.

You go out that way.

That way? Thanks.

Relax, buster.
She's untouched.

Just make sure
you keep it clean.

Come on, patsy.
What's the matter?

You got something
on your mind?

Never mind what's on her mind.
Keep playing!

Well, what happened?

She'll be back.

This makes 2 of US up in broad daylight.
What's your excuse?

A problem.

If I didn't have to
work Saturday night,

I could spend

a lovely,
long weekend on a yacht.

But you do have to work,
so you have no problem.

Just testing,
boss.

1, 2, 3, 4,
testing.

Baby must have been plenty sore, huh?
I mean, it took you so long.

It took me
5 minutes.

Well, where you been?
You knew I was waiting.

I didn't know you were
holding your breath.

Ah. What's
this Dolly got

that's
so special, roc?

She-she don't know
from nothing. It's cute.

You can't mean
from nothing.

From nothing.

That's going a little too far, roc.
She's a hick, I'll Grant you,

but so are a lot of farmers' daughters,
and you heard about them.

You know,
according to roc,

she has to be a Saint
because she went to college.

She went to a girls' college.
She even went to a girls' high school.

Check on where she went to
kindergarten before you take any bets.

I'll take a bet
right now!

How do you
like that?!

Ma: Quiet!
If you want to debate, hire a hall!

Oh, ma, they're not bothering me!
Shut up!

I'll tell you what's bothering
you and what isn't bothering you.

You're doing so much for me,
I'm surprised you don't do this number.

You don't think
I could?

Men: Presto!

All right.
Let's take it back to the last 2 bars

of the blues.
Come on.

Ok, hot shot. A half a "G"
Says baby's what I think she is.

Roc, come on.
What you think she is, there ain't any more.

How could you
recognize one?

You never met a dame your
whole life wasn't a tramp.

Present company
excepted.

I should have said.

Anyway, there's no sense betting
because there's no way to find out.

Ask her.

Why not?

Well, it wouldn't
be nice.

Yeah. We'd better
forget the whole thing.

Only you're not
so sure now, are you?

I raise the question,
you'd like to know.

I couldn't care less.

You know, roc...

I think we ought to set that poor
little fella's mind at rest.

Mr. Rocco.

It's nothing.
Just a little memento.

They're beautiful.

Leon says
what do you want to eat?

Ask her.
She's in charge of my stomach.

I have to eat with some pals later,
so make it light-

spaghetti, something
on that order, huh?

Poached eggs on toast,
spinach, and a baked apple.

Hey, you gonna?

Sure I'm gonna.
You heard her.

Baby, you're tough.

Roc, can the little girl
help me with a letter?

Well, sure. Why not?

A very personal letter.
Girl talk.

Ivy, the matter we were
discussing-let's forget about it, huh?

Seeing as how
we didn't make a bet.

We were arguing as to who pitched
for the Yankees last year.

Oh, that wasn't it, roc.

Did anyone make first base-
that was the question.

But somebody always
makes first base.

I wouldn't say that.
There have been- Ivy!

The eggs are
on their way.

And so are you,
roc, aren't you?

Yeah.

How's that, Mr. Rocco?
Carnegie hall stuff!

Anytime you want to go,
don't bother giving notice!

All right. A joke.
I'm sorry.

What's up, paisan?
Somebody give you a bellyache?

Do you know that bet
we almost made about baby?

I told Ivy the bet was off, but, no,
she's got to find out for herself.

She's in there with her now
asking her who knows what.

What's so comical?
A young lady gets a job,

and all of a sudden,
she has to be pumped

about what is nobody's
business but her own.

It's
a good thing

you didn't take that bet,
Tony, baby.

That's right.
No hits,

no runs,
no errors.

My partner, the expert.

What was that you were playing before,
Homer? It's cute.

Wow. I thought
you were my old lady.

Would you like me
to do that for you?

Gee, would you?
Sure.

I can't find
anything.

Oh, that's the recipe for the almond pie,
isn't it?

You recognized it.

I told Leon just changing
vanilla to cinnamon

wasn't
enough difference.

It's for a contest. You have
to send in a new recipe,

only I can't find
enough time

in the kitchen here
to make up anything.

Well, what about
during the day at home?

All we got's
a stinking hot plate.

That's why I want to join the
contest- to win a stove like this.

Oh, boy. 4 burners,
2 ovens, and a spit.

The way other people want diamonds,
that's how I want that stove.

Can't you just buy one?

Ma gets nervous if I even
stand near the hot plate.

She figures once I can cook,
then I'll get married,

so no more hoofing,
and then where is she?

Yeah, but if you won it,
would she let you keep it?

Nobody sends back what they got for nothing,
not even ma.

Only I'm not going to have
the problem or the stove.

Wait a minute.

We make a terrific carrot
cake in my family.

The recipe's never
been printed,

and I know my mother wouldn't
mind if gave it to you.

You mean it?

I'll put it under the blotter.
Pick it up later.

Patsy, what are you
doing here?

Your mother's waiting
for you in the kitchen.

You know what
I ought to do to you?

Mr. Armotti,
the boy's hurt.

Not enough.
I should have let them really fix him.

Get a wet towel
and some iodine.

Come here.
Sit down, will you?

You know those busboys across
the way are laying for you,

so why you go
looking for it, huh?

I just went out
to get a breath of air,

and right off the bat,
they start

the snake-charming stuff,
you know.

* ta da da da da
ta da da da- *

all right.
All right.

But why?

His name's
Hussein Mohammed.

What can you expect
from kids?

They can't see him
without yelling,

"hey, Hussein,
where's your harem?"

if this dope would
only laugh at them.

But it isn't funny.

Well, what if they broke your nose?
Would that be funny?

Oh, I don't care.
I wish I was dead.

Yeah, sure.
That'd fix everything.

Got the iodine?

Uh, peroxide.
It won't hurt as much.

Ok. Hussein,
I think your name is beautiful.

In mecca, maybe,
but not in Brooklyn.

Life's tough enough.

But your father said you could change it,
didn't he, brainless?

All you have to do
is pass algebra.

Yeah, if I pass algebra.
But even if I could figure it out,

do you think that rat of a
teacher will give me a break?

You want a lump on the
other side of your face?

Ok. Come on.

Go lay down in one
of the dressing rooms.

I'm not too good
at algebra,

but I think I might be
able to help him catch up.

Hey, would you
spend the time?

You'd have to make him
work with me, though.

Oh, don't worry.
I'll take care of that.

Yeah?

Thanks. I had to rap
with my nose.

Hi.

How come you're
eating in here?

Well, I've been eating in
here every night for months.

Yeah. Well,
get finished, huh?

It's an office,
not a banquet hall.

Mad at me because I wouldn't
give you the lowdown

on everyone last night?

No. You were right.
Unpleasant, but right.

Much better for me to
get to know them myself.

Well, while you're
getting to know them,

I think
I'll get to know you.

Why bother? As you said,
we're both tourists.

There's nothing we can
learn from each other.

Uh, Mr. Rocco's office.

Waxie London?
I don't know whether he's here or not,

but I'd be glad
to find out for you.

Who's calling, please?

Very well. Hold on.

He's at Rocco's table.

I know that, Mr. Devlin.

Excuse me.
I hate to break in on Mr. Rocco's party,

but there's a telephone
call for waxie London.

They wouldn't give
a name,

so I said I didn't know if he
was here but that I'd find out.

Learn fast,
don't you?

Hey, do we cash a fat check
for Everett Skyler?

He's that dirty,
double-crossing-

watch
your language!

You think
you're home?

Huh?

Oh. I'm sorry.

Tell Skyler we're short on dough.
Buy him a drink

and kiss him off,
ok?

I'll take
the phone call.

With waxie's luck,
it's probably a parole officer.

You better see what roc wants.
He's flagging you.

Himey renwick, Denny Flynn,
Joey lawfield,

and the guest of honor
waxie London.

He hasn't had enough trouble.
He's going to open a club.

This is the little lady
I was telling you about.

Glad you know you,
honey.

You certainly made
a hit with roc.

He's been getting
a swelled head.

Tell them how you like
working in the saloon.

I'm beginning to feel
perfectly at home.

Speaking of being home,
Mr. London,

you must be feeling very happy...
After all this time.

Well, to tell you the truth,
I feel kind of nervous.

Oh, well, of course you do.

You've had a total change
of environment.

It must be
very unsettling.

But don't you worry.
In a day or 2,

you'll probably find that you've
made a wonderful adjustment

without even being aware
that you've made it.

I could listen to this kid
till the cows come home!

What'd I tell you, huh?

Honey,
if they don't treat you right around here,

just contact me.

You could always find
a spot with old waxie.

How do you like that?
He's feeling better already.

All of a sudden,
he ain't nervous!

He's got himself
a tonic.

A college broad.

Tony says I should
walk you home.

Oh, that isn't necessary.

But I want to.

He told me
about the algebra.

Oh. Well, I'd love you
to walk me home.

I'd feel safer.

That's
the busiest stairway.

Who lives up there,
Hussein?

Tony.

And here we have...
A praline pie.

Mrs. Stanley gretchma,
who, year in and year out,

cooks 3 meals a day
for 6 people...

And loves it. Don't you,
Mrs. Gretchma?

They can keep their typewriters,
high heels, and careers.

All I need to be happy
is a stove.

Ha ha ha! Thank you,
Mrs. Gretchma.

Good luck, praline pie.

And here we have our lovely
little miss St. Clair.

Tell me, my dear,
are you enjoying our contest?

Go away!

292, 293, 294,
295, 296...

Announcer: And now
Mrs. Gail inchley.

Woman:
That's right.

Mrs. Inchley is concocting
a- let me see...

Patsy. Psst.

It's a prune ship on whip.
Isn't it, Mrs. Inchley?

Yes, and if I say so myself,
I could make it 100 times.

It'll be great
100 times.

And believe me, that's a candid,
unbiased opinion.

Thank you,
Mrs. Inchley.

You're welcome.

Could I speak to miss St. Clair
for a second, please?

Yes, but remember,
no culinary advice.

Not an ounce.

Patsy!

Miss, what'll I do?
I think I'm going to faint.

No, you're not.
You haven't got time.

I haven't?

Patsy, I'm late for work.
I'll see you later.

You can't just
leave me here.

But you're all right
now that it's in.

What'll I do
till it's out?

Make friends
and influence judges.

I can't. Most of them are women,
and women don't like me.

I like them,
but they don't like me.

What are you talking about?
I like you, don't I?

Sure, but you're
kind of an oddball.

Baby, I know it's chicken,
but if you go, I go.

I just haven't got
confidence.

You haven't got confidence
in my mother's carrot cake?

I'm crazy about your
mother's carrot cake.

Then it's settled.
Fine. Bye.

Anne.

But listen, Mrs. Shea,

what has "You don't
approve of me" Got to do

with "Where
is my secretary?"

well, go knock on her door.

Maybe she come in, and you didn't see her.
Maybe she's in the-

I'm awfully sorry.
You're awfully sorry?

You know what I been
through the last 2 hours,

the places I called?

Couldn't you have the common
decency to put a nickel

in the phone or whatever
it is and give me a ring?

Well, couldn't you?

Mr. Rocco,
I said I was sorry.

I admit I was
a little inconsiderate,

but I can't see
why you're this angry.

Angry? Who's angry?

Did you think I was
bawling you out?

I-i was worried,
that's all.

Well, people are late
for work sometimes.

I know, but this town,
it's-it's different.

I mean, the things that
could happen and the-

well, you're here.
You're ok.

It's forgotten.

I won't ever be
late again, I promise.

Oh, baby, I don't care
what time you get here.

Hussein asked the teacher for a makeup test,
like you told him.

Did she give it
to him?

Brother, did she
give it to him.

You better come out
to the kitchen.

Is it all right
if I go, Mr. Rocco?

Well,
I was going to ask your opinion about-

ah, nothing.
Go help the kid.

Hey, that does things for you,
roc, that new suit.

Suit.

"what is the value of b

if the formula x equals
b doubled minus..."

sheesh!

Hussein, this teacher
does not like you.

Oh, it probably isn't
half as bad as it looks.

Man:
Table 18, 2 lemon chops and the special.

Why, the stinker,
the mean old stinker.

Hussein Mohammed for
the rest of my life.

I just hope
it's a short one.

You couldn't
do it, huh?

It wouldn't
be nice?

Well, I'd be much
more ethical doing it

than she was giving it,
but I just don't remember this much algebra.

In fact, I never knew
this much algebra.

Man: Order in
4 chicken cacciatores.

I wonder if there's
anybody I could ask.

It's no use. I have to
mail it in tonight.

On top of everything else, she though
that I might find a way to cheat.

If you don't cheat,
it'll be because we can't find a way.

She's no dope.

Wait a minute.
There must be a math major

amongst our customers
or an engineer

or somebody
who could do this.

I'll just go up to whoever
looks likely and ask.

No, no. Whoa. Wait.
Wait a minute.

They'll think you're
trying to pick them up.

I'll be tossing guys
out of here like yo-yos.

Man: Table 22,
2 prime ribs.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea.
It isn't for you, that's all.

What we need is a dame
who can really-

friends and neighbors,
the time is right.

This could be
the night.

Now, that's perfect casting.
Ivy, will you give US a lift?

If Hussein's ever
going to get a new name,

we got to find a customer who can add "
X" And "Y" And get-

and get "Z," Like that.

I still think I'm the
one that ought to do it.

Sweetie, we can't send a girl
to do a woman's work.

Come on, coach.
What are we waiting for?

The bar's crawling
with brains tonight.

Man: Order in 3 new Yorks, one rare,
2 medium, with French fries.

Second man: Louis,
throw me a head of lettuce, will you?

Third man: Table 24,
2 beef stroganoffs.

Hey, that Tony-he gets
under your skin, huh?

It's just that he's got some
sort of wrong idea about me.

I wish I could make him
see that I'm not-

now, wait, wait, baby.
You listen to me, huh?

You're young. You've got your health.
You're only reasonably unhappy.

Now, you let
well enough alone, huh?

Man: Table 3,
3 filet mignons.

Second man: Order in 2 prime ribs rare,
both heavy on the juice.

Ziggy.

Mmm...

Ivy, what you haven't got,
I don't want.

You know, Ziggy,
I wouldn't be surprised

if you were the smartest
man in this room.

And from there,
where do we go?

Honey, what does "X"
Mean to you?

$50 a week alimony
forever.

At a moment
like this,

do you have to
mention my ex?

That low,
even I wouldn't stoop.

Ivy, where's patsy? She's
got to go on in 10 minutes,

and she isn't even
in the kitchen.

I'll bet Leon knows
where she is, though.

Well, I'll squeeze it
out of him.

Mr. Bernbaum...

Are all music critics
attractive, or just you?

Ivy,
you are like an entrance with French horns.

Ha ha ha! That's
very sexy, Mr. Bernbaum,

but say something else.

Say something,
for instance, about "X."

Leon! I want to know
where's patsy!

Don't holler
in my kitchen.

Oh, Leon, please!
Tony will fire her if she don't show up.

What?

Do you know where she is?

I don't know
where she is now.

What kind of an answer is that,
you all-American genius?!

He told you not to
holler in his kitchen!

Man: Order in beef stroganoff,
a pair.

Second man:
2 beef stroganoff.

Oh, ray, how long
before patsy goes on?

Oh, in about 5 minutes.
Why, isn't she here yet?

No.

Wow. Well, I'll stall as long as I can,
but you know Tony.

Yes. Oh!

Oh, Mr. Rocco, patsy's
at a cooking contest,

crystal's on the warpath,
I'm awfully involved,

and I don't think she's going
to make the dinner show.

Well, that's
Tony's department.

You better go
tell him.

What are you worrying about?
I'm here.

Yeah.

Why, that's a new suit,
isn't it?

Yeah. Do you like it?

You look wonderful,
just plain wonderful.

Thanks!

Announcer: Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

Presenting
boy, boy, and a girl.

Mr. Armotti,
there's something I have to tell you.

In a minute.
I want to watch this.

Some customers we got.

Yeah. Some math majors.
Yeah.

Isn't that
Mr. Hallerby?

I thought he was never going
to darken our doors again.

That blowhard. 5 will
get you 10 he goofs.

You mean,
"X" Marks the spot?

That's very "X"- Ey,
sweetie,

but it's the wrong "X."

could you be referring to the
algebraic " X"?

Forgive me, lover.
I'm about to find the lost chord.

What's your name?

Oh, Bruce.
Bruce Cameron.

Oh, that's a lovely name,
a sophisticated name.

Tell me, brucey,

what are your plans
for tonight?

Well, I came in to see
a friend of mine.

Anne Leeds. She works
in the office here.

Little Annie? Really?
Well, that's too bad.

It isn't often I get a chance
to be with a man like you,

but c'est la vie.

Well, i-i don't
have to see Annie.

Oh, that's good, brucey,
because I have a problem,

and I need someone...
Understanding.

Tell me about it.
Tell me about all your problems.

Oh, I intend to.

Isn't that the teacher
from your school?

That's the math teacher
from my school.

Say, no lie?

If that doesn't
take the cake, huh?

Cake? Mr. Armotti,
I've got to talk to you about patsy.

I want to talk to patsy
about patsy.

She's been like
a sleepwalker all week.

You know, it's getting so the
customers are too polite to applaud.

They're afraid
they'll wake her up.

Where is she,
the kitchen?

No. She isn't here.

She goes on
in a minute.

She can't.

Then she's through.

Wait a minute.
Let me explain.

You know how I feel about
a performer not showing

without an a-one,
first-class reason.

Maybe she doesn't feel good.
Maybe she's home, laying in bed.

Watch your language
in front of baby.

Maybe she got hit
by a truck.

Fine.
That's an a-one, first-class reason.

How can you? She's
in a cooking contest.

I'll kill her.

A cooking contest?
You knew it all the time.

You bet I did.
I helped her.

The rest of you have got to
let her live her own life.

She's telling me.

Why don't you
listen?

She didn't get
a college degree

for being stupid,
you know?

All right,
you're so smart,

why don't you
do the strip?

Hey! I'd sooner put
my mother on.

I got to go tell
the orchestra.

She's not only here.
She's all here.

Even from
a distance,

you can tell
she's alive.

The blue ribbon.
She won first prize.

Can she eat it?
Can she marry it?

You wouldn't have
fired her.

I wouldn't?

Well, listen...

If you're through
reading my tea leaves,

could you go back
to the office

in case, by mistake,
some business should come up?

Certainly.
I was going to congratulate patsy-

please. Not the haughty Princess bit,
not when my head is splitting open.

Would you like me to
get you an aspirin?

Nope. You can't help me bake a cake,
either, or pass algebra

or get over a heartburn.

Just go
and congratulate patsy

as a favor
to the management.

It's a wet-type cake,
roc, the kind that-

baby!

Congratulations.

Roc says if I teach Leon
how to make the cake,

he'll put it
on the menu.

Get me.
If I teach Leon!

You want to catch a virus
with no clothes on?

Ma, I won some money
and a stove.

The money's
for you, but i-

you won it, you keep it.

All I care about
is the stove.

If it's all right
with roc,

can it stay
in my dressing room?

I know you wouldn't
want it in the flat.

You want it
in the flat.

Why didn't you have
the guts to say so?

And why didn't you
have the guts

to tell me you wanted to
go into a cooking contest?

You'd have made
such a fuss.

So what?
It scares you?

You mean I can have it
in the flat?

Don't ask me.
Tell me.

Oh, ma!

And go change.

She has to live her own life sometime,
doesn't she?

But first she's got to
learn to tell me off.

Patsy is ok.

Not like you when you was a kid,
but that's asking too much.

You should have seen her-
dynamite

and a knockout.

We go back a long ways,
US two, huh, crys?

What do they know?

Not that I don't appreciate
you giving her that recipe,

mind you.

Uh, baby...

Do you really
like the suit?

I really love the suit.

You're not going to get
all of these, are you?

I can't make up
my mind which to-

let's weed them out.

3 weeks
in the place,

and nobody
can make a move

without you
right in the middle.

I'm in the middle of too much,
according to Mr. Armotti.

You got to understand
about Tony-

with the kind of girls
he's used to and-

what's wrong
with that?

Too busy.

Yeah? You see, when I first took him
under my wing,

like they say,
he was just a young punk.

And at that
particular time,

I was having a little
trouble with my wife.

She run out
on me. She-

try this one.

Oh. She's
a nice girl.

It was my fault
maybe. I don't know.

Anyways, it made me

what you might call
cynical awhile, sour.

I, uh, I liked her.

You got to talk
to somebody,

so I bent Tony's ear,
I guess.

"stay away from the nice girls,
" I told him.

"they're poison.
Stick to dames that know the score-

hello, thank you,
and good-bye."

he listened like
it was the Bible,

so ever since,
whenever he sees a nice girl,

he gets nervous...
Naturally.

Because they're poison...

Naturally.

There. You can go
anywhere in that outfit.

Why not? I'm going to
drop in on the club,

see what
the competition's doing.

What do you say
you come with me?

I can't. I've got to see that
Hussein's test gets done.

Ask me another time,
will you?

Sure. But I may never
look this good again.

I'll wrap these
to go back.

What do you want
to do with that one?

I don't know about that.
Open it up and see what you think.

You like it?
It's not too big?

Is it for me,
Mr. Rocco?

You really
shouldn't have done-

don't say I shouldn't.
I felt like it.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

They got them in
all different sizes.

If you don't like it,
I can take it back.

You just try and take
this one away from me.

Roc, drop in at the Latin quarter first,
will you?

They're trying out a new
novelty act in the bar.

I'd like to know
how it goes.

Ok, ok.

Baby,
if you're still here when I get back,

I'll drive you home.

Is Bruce
doing the test?

Sure. That Ivy
doesn't waste any time.

Hello.

Yeah?

You were right
the first time.

Yeah?

Yeah?

You stinker.

Homer says
that Ivy has got to sing,

but Ivy says that the
brain's getting restless.

You better come hold his
hand while she's on.

She's not holding
any hands.

He'll have to be
satisfied with me.

Well, it's a nightclub,
isn't it?

Say, why can't we play
footsies like everybody else?

Later, love.
After I sing.

Hi, boss. This is brucey,
and he's a doll.

We met.

He's going to solve all my problems,
aren't you, brucey?

Get to work,
you sweet thing.

Where you going?

To the office
to see Annie-

little Annie
the snow maiden-

your secretary,
old man.

Come on, now.
Little Annie is busy.

And so are you, aren't you,
old man, with all these problems.

Yes. But suddenly,
I don't see why.

Why should a girl like
Ivy go to night school?

If she does go
to night school,

why should she
take algebra?

What difference
does it make?

When a friend needs money,
you don't ask him what it's for, do you?

I certainly do.

And if it's for
something silly,

I don't give it
to him.

Why, brucey,
you're a heel.

That well may be,
little Caesar.

But I'm not doing
any more algebra.

If you want to get out of here in one piece,
you will.

Use your head, buddy.

Come on.
That act went out a century ago.

You don't say.

You think I believe you'd
pull anything here?

Not here.

We're going to go in the
back room for a little chat.

Listen,
you're kidding,

aren't you?

Let's go find out.
Come on.

Let's go find out. Come on.

You're a sensible friend,
very sensible.

Ray: They like you, boys.

And now,
ladies and gentlemen,

the one and only Ivy corlane.

Well, hello.

Eggs Benedict.
Pretty fancy.

Yes, i'm
working my way

through
the gourmet cookbook.

I might be willing to let
you have one egg Benedict.

Too rich
and too late.

Then how about a movie and
an early supper tomorrow

before
you come to work?

I thought I was too much like
your sister to take out.

The content is similar,
but the form is different.

We got 'em!
We got 'em all.

Hussein, let me
have a look.

There's a big room outside
with lots of tables.

And lots of smoke.

If you're so delicate,
go find yourself another hash house,

or do you have to be
thrown out of here?

I don't know what's come
into your life lately,

but what it's doing to your
disposition is a crime.

It's my life, my club,
and my disposition.

How about tomorrow?

Uh, I'll let you know.

Well, we'd better
get started.

Copy them,
not too neatly,

and erase a little.

I don't want him
eating in here.

I can't very well
tell him not to.

He's one of
our best customers.

And I'd like to point out
that there's a house rule-

the help don't date
the customers.

The employers don't date
the help- that's the rule.

You know anything
about the guy?

I know he's one of
your best friends.

If you had any sense,
that should be enough.

Finish with Hussein
and go home.

And from now on,
don't work past 11:00.

I've got a right
to some rest around here.

You shouldn't let
Tony upset you.

He's just trying to watch out for you,
that's all.

Why me? Why not
Ivy, crystal, or patsy?

Because you're
the only-

you're the only
greenhorn

we got around.

Everybody
knows that.

What do you mean?
How does everybody know that?

Tony told them.

Uh...finish.

Put it in an envelope
and mail it.

Yeah. Yeah, in a minute.

What are you
doing here?

I'd like to talk to you
for a minute.

May I come in?

All right. Come on.

Ok. What's the beef?

There's no beef,

just something I'd like
to get straightened out.

Well, I'm listening.

It's this taking care of
me and protecting me.

I've suddenly realized
why you do it.

It's very sweet,
but I wish you'd stop it

because it really
isn't necessary.

That's your opinion, baby.

My name is
Anne Leeds.

You can call me Anne, miss Leeds,
or "Hey, you,"

anything but baby.

I vote.
The board of education lets me teach,

and when it comes to
knowing my way around,

I'll match myself against
any dame in the place.

Woman: Come on, Tony.
I'm raring to go.

I'm sorry.
I didn't realize...

Uh...i have
to call off-

woman: What do
you mean, call off?

You see,
I didn't know-

yeah, I know.
You mean, I came all the way here-

I'll call you
tomorrow.

You do that. And don't hold your
breath until I answer the phone.

You shouldn't
have done that.

You shouldn't
be here.

For heaven's sakes,
look- wait, wait, wait.

I think I'm going
to need a drink.

I could use one myself.

I hate to disappoint you,
but it won't be my first.

Well, there's always one
you don't get to.

Would you sit down
a minute? Over here.

Look,
I can understand.

It's a pain
to have people act

as if you didn't know
how to handle yourself.

I know.
But try to see it from my angle.

You see, no matter how
sophisticated you think you are,

you're still a...

Uh...

A greenhorn,
a nice girl.

Yeah, well, whatever
you want to call it,

it's a
responsibility.

But why is it
your responsibility?

You work for me.

Does that
make you my father?

If I was
your father,

you'd be back in Massachusetts,
where you belong.

But I left Massachusetts because
I wanted to meet new people

and make new friends,
live a little.

Not in my place.

Oh, really.

You seem
to think i'm

a museum piece to be pressed
between the pages of a book

or pickled
in alcohol.

You're getting off
to a flying start.

Not on 2 drinks,
Mr. Armotti.

Maybe you're right
about me,

but let me
ask you one thing.

If I didn't handle
myself pretty well,

is it likely
that I'd still be

what you call
a nice girl?

It could be there was
nothing much to handle.

I don't want to seem immodest,
but I can tell you,

as a matter of fact,
that I was the belle of Newton, mass.

You had a lot of experience with guys,
huh?

Naturally.

Not just with yokels?
Mm-mm.

They come in all kinds in Newton,
mass.

All kinds, all types,
every known approach,

not that there are as many
approaches as men like to think

and not that there are as many
types of men as men like to think.

But no matter how
many types there are,

you know how
to handle them all.

For the belle of Newton,
mass, it's a cinch.

Yes, it's a cinch,

because up to now,

I've never met anybody
that I cared enough about.

Not necessary to preserve
some special sort of status,

but I wouldn't expect
you to understand that.

I don't think
you're bright enough.

That's right.
I never went to college like you.

Don't be so proud of it.

It might have broadened
that narrow mind of yours.

You live
like a Casanova

with a string of women running
up and down the stairs,

but when somebody tries to
talk to you truthfully,

you react like
an outraged prude.

Let me tell you something.

You're the museum piece,
not me.

Suppose you let me
ask a question.

What are you
doing here?

I told you.
I came up-

to straighten
me out,

to show me you know your way around.
Why?

Why show me
anything?

You don't think
I'm very bright.

We don't speak
the same language.

I haven't read
any of those books,

and those I do read,
you wouldn't spit on.

What do you want?

An amusing item for the
eggheads back home,

a chapter headed,
"Interesting morons I've known"?

Oh, no.
I think so.

And it's
fine with me.

But before I toss you out
of here- and I'm going to-

there's something
I want to find out.

You've done an awful
lot of big talking

about what you
can handle.

Well, let's see.

Why should Hussein
be the only one

who has
a test tonight?

Ok.

Ok. Now you
can beat it.

You see?

You see
what can happen?

Exactly what
I wanted to happen.

What are you
so afraid of?

Baby...baby, please,
do me a favor.

Put your coat on.

Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, it's you, roc.

I, uh, I had, uh,
I fell asleep.

I had a headache,
so I turned in.

Who? Baby?

Uh, she, uh,
she left awhile ago.

Tony!
Shh!

She's not home yet.

Her landlord's here-a
fella by the name of shea.

He and his missis are
worried about her.

Now, where
do you-what?

Oh. It's ok.

She's spending the night
with a girlfriend.

The wife and I have
the distinct impression

she don't know anybody
in New York that intimate.

Tony, Mr. Shea says she don't
know anybody that good.

Patsy? Oh, sure.
It figures.

Patsy St. Clair.

Nice kid.
Works here.

She lives
with her mother-

a nice, quiet
old lady.

Well, I guess

a mother and her daughter
satisfies me.

It's ok, Tony.
Go back to the hay.

I'm going
to lock up and go.

I don't want you to get the
impression we don't trust her.

You just have to look at that girl
and know she's solid gold. But-

it's US you
don't trust.

Don't I know and don't
I feel the same way.

Have a cigar,
Mr. Shea.

Thanks.

Let me call him up,

tell him that I came
up here on my own.

Believe me,
it would be better to tell him

I lured you up here
with gumdrops.

He's got
a thing about you.

A what?

A case, a yen.
You know more words than I do.

Find the right one
and fill it in.

That's ridiculous.
He's fond of me.

He may even have a sort of
fatherly feeling towards me.

Have it
your own way.

Everything's ok.
He'll be gone in a minute.

Yes, but Mr. Shea
will walk home slowly.

Then he'll tell
Mrs. Shea.

Then they'll have
a snack.

They'll still be up
when I get home,

and everything
will look very-

I fixed it up
all over, didn't I?

I think I'd better
stay right here.

No. Oh, no.

Come on,
none of that.

Hey, wait a minute.

Come on.

Crystal, Tony.

Can baby stay at
your place tonight?

Never mind why.

Can she
or can't she?

Thanks. Thanks.
You're a good guy.

She's a good guy,
that crystal.

Come on, come on.
Let's go.

Come on, up.

I never thought

I'd fall in love
with such a silly man.

The kitchen lights
are out.

Roc must have gone.

I'll go first.
If I signal, duck back.

Come on.

Hey. Baby.

The second floor in the
front- apartment 2-b.

But I want to talk
to you a minute.

You said something back
there just before we left.

I said that I loved you.

Because you
were plastered,

because 2 drinks and
you're a gone goose.

I might never have said
it without the drinks,

but it would have been
true all the same.

That doesn't make any sense.
You know that, don't you?

I just know what I feel.

Then you better
know what I feel-

nothing.

I don't believe that.

Listen, baby,

I kissed
a good-looking girl.

It's happened
before,

and the chances are pretty
good it'll happen again.

Don't read anything
else into it

because there is
nothing else.

This is
the end of the line.

All right.

Don't worry about it.

Did you take her
to patsy's

to make the story good?

Yeah, yeah.
That's right.

You don't want to listen,
do you, roc?

That's right.

Well, what are you
waiting for?

What am I supposed
to do, hit you?

You punk. I'm going
to teach you a lesson.

That's not why you're doing this.
Don't kid yourself.

You're jealous,
that's all.

You'd like to stake
her out for yourself.

What? A girl like that?

I never once thought...

But not you, no.

You couldn't
let her alone.

To you, it didn't matter
that she's...

You're wrong, roc.

All the years
I've known you,

you've never
been this wrong.

Come and get 'em.

In order to have a stove
delivered at 7 A.M.,

who did you have
to promise what?

Is she here-baby?

Asleep.
Have some coffee.

Well...

Well, look who's here
in time for flapjacks.

Shut up. Give him
the coffee and beat it.

Yeah.

Don't let
the pancakes get cold.

When he brought her over,
was she all right?

When who brought
her over?

What kind of
a question is that?

Come on, crys.
You know what I mean.

Listen, Rocco,
I'm a girl,

an old girl, mind you,
but a girl nonetheless.

There are certain things
we don't tell guys.

You want to know
something? Ask her.

Ask me what, Mr. Rocco?

Well...nothing.

Remember, you're
the invited guest.

He's not.

Oh, you brought my purse.
I left it in...

In the club.

No, I didn't.
I left it in Tony's apartment.

He handed you
a line, didn't he?

He gave you
a lot of malarkey

about wanting
to talk to you.

Otherwise,
you wouldn't have gone up there.

He tricked you,
didn't he?

No, Mr. Rocco.
I went there by myself.

I wanted to see him.

How could you do
such a thing?

A girl like you...

There was nothing wrong in
my going to his apartment

or in what happened
after I got there.

There wasn't?

No.

Then why did he lie
to me over the phone?

Because he was as shocked at
my being there as you are.

What did you go up there for?
Why did you

have to go up there and
start all this trouble?

I wanted to talk to him.

Why?

Because I love him.

No.

No, you don't.

You can't.

You don't understand
about Tony.

He's the kind of
a guy

who could wind up
in the clink easy

or driving a truck
or something.

You just think you
feel what you said.

All right,
I just think I do.

Well, I...

I came to return
your purse.

Listen, Tony,
I want to talk to you.

You listen.
I stood still for a shellacking

because I figured I owed you
something after 10 years,

but that paid me up.

If you ever raise your
voice to me again,

let alone your hand,
I'll beat your brains out.

Yeah?

I was wrong, Tony.

You got to admit
it looked bad,

but I should
have at least listened.

So, I was wrong. I'm sorry.

What do you want me to do,

Kill myself?

Enough already.
Knock off, will you?

You want a sour piano?
Have a sour piano.

Don't get on your
high horse with me!

Go take some air!
Come back later!

You should live so long.

All right.

What can I do?
I'm a little on edge.

Say everything's ok,
maybe I'll feel better.

Everything isn't ok.

The girl's
got to go.

If she can't see
her way clear,

don't worry
about it. I'll go.

Get something
through your head.

Except she's
a wonderful girl,

baby doesn't
mean a thing to me.

I'm no educated man,
but I can add things up.

I know her age.
I know my age.

And this kind, I'm not,

which,
if you'll excuse me for bringing it up,

Tony, you
should have known.

All right,
all right.

All right. You're sorry.
I'm sorry.

It's a standoff.

Just remember,
it ain't personal.

Only you don't
want her to go.

And you do. Why?

Because she's
stuck on you?

If that's
a reason for canning,

we should can
half the chorus.

That isn't
the same thing.

Roc,
maybe nothing happened last night,

but something
could have happened.

What do you think
I'm made of, glass?

Roc, this kind of girl
you can't fool around with.

This kind of girl
you have to marry.

I'm not
getting married

until I'm too old
to do anything else.

It's not me,
not this boy.

And if she can't read or write,
that's fine,

because I'm not
going to wind up

at concerts
and lectures.

I'm not going to wind up
in college taking courses,

not me,
not this boy.

I'm putting it
on the line.

Either she goes
or I go.

She goes.

Who's going to
tell her, you or me?

Nobody has to tell her.

That was her back there
on the phone. She quit.

Ah, that makes it
easy on everybody.

Did she seem upset?

I wouldn't say
she was laughing.

She's better off.

This isn't
the place for her.

She don't meet
the right element here.

I never wanted
her here.

Then you
should be satisfied.

I'm satisfied.

"
and then queen Guinevere said to Lancelot,

"sir knight,
I give thee my sleeve that in the...

Joosting..."

jousting.

Jousting.

"that in
the jousting,

you may be-"

ow!

Hey! Fight!
Fight!

Boys! Boys,
will you please stop?!

Sit down, all of you!

Everybody, sit down
immediately!

Shut up!

Everybody, sit down!

I'm in the wrong seat.

Me, too.

Get in the right one.
Don't make a production.

It's a pretty tough
racket you're in, baby.

They're usually
very good.

Do you want to wait?

Because we have to go on
with our reading lesson.

You mean these hoods
can read English?

Get out your books.
I want to hear.

Sammy, I think
you were reading.

Yes.

"sir knight,
I give thee my sleeve

"that in the...
Joosting-"

jousting-

"you may be my champion.

"and that day,
sir Lancelot did triumph

over all
who did joust against him."

thank you.
John, please.

"
and this he did for the queen's sake,

"
for he was ever the champion of ladies

and the old
and the weak."

that's the end
of the chapter.

A fine bunch of knights.

Ok, let's begin
with the joost.

I challenge all comers.

What's the matter?
You chicken?

You only fight with dames?

We didn't fight
with her.

Nobody done it
on purpose.

She nearly
got knocked on her-

on the floor,
didn't she?

I didn't hear anybody
say they're sorry.

Well,
what's the matter,

you're too big
to say you're sorry?

Kids: I'm sorry.

That's better.

Listen, you guys,
I'm going to give it to you straight.

If I ever
have to come back here,

I'm going to take you on row by
row with one hand tied behind me.

You get it?

Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

You're glued? Beat it.

Baby, I came to...

I came to give you
your salary.

That's too much.

It's severance pay.

You're not entitled to
severance pay when you quit.

We'd like you to have it,
roc and me.

What are you
going to do now?

Oh, eat, sleep,

look for another job
probably. Why?

Baby,
why don't you go back to Massachusetts?

It figures
if you stay here,

you're going to get in
some kind of a jam-

it will be my jam,
won't it?

You just own the tonic,
you know, not me.

You don't
have to get sore.

I'm just trying to talk
to you like a friend.

You're not succeeding.

Oh.

Bruce, did you
want to see me?

I thought we might have some lunch,
but-

love it.

I want to talk
to you a minute.

Just hold on a second.
I want to talk to her a minute.

When you're through
with your boss-

he's not
my boss,

and we have nothing
to say to each other.

Hi.

* I passed it,
I passed it *

* the algebra test,
I passed it *

What's your new
name going to be?

You have to
pick one, you know.

Wait, wait, wait.
I got it.

X-minus-y cacciatore.

How about Vanderbilt?
You can't go wrong with that?

There's nothing sexier
than John Smith ii.

Well.

Hussein:
I've got a better one.

But there's
someone

that I have to ask
first what they think.

I passed
my algebra test.

Good boy! Good boy!

Where's baby?

She ain't here.

Is she sick
or something?

She don't work here
no more. She quit.

What do you mean?
What happened?

What happened?
Nothing happened.

She quit.
People quit all the time.

What's
the big mystery?

Nobody in the kitchen
even mentioned it.

Why should
they mention it?

They're sorry. I'm sorry.
Everybody's sorry.

What do you want US to do,
close down the club?

Ah, forget it.

You make friends
with people,

it doesn't necessarily
give you a life interest.

How did you make out
on the algebra?

I passed it.

Well, great.
You pick a new name?

Mr. Rocco, baby was
just crazy about it here.

She wouldn't have quit
for no reason.

Hussein,
I had a day that shouldn't happen to a dog.

Don't aggravate
me, please.

You got questions
to ask, ask...Tony.

Man: Thank you, bubbles.

Next, patsy St. Clair
and a couple of...

What happened to baby?

She quit.

Why?

Ask Rocco.

Well, he said to ask you.

Why did she quit?

What difference
does it make?

It's hard
to explain.

I feel too lousy
to try.

Why do you and Rocco
both feel lousy?

Rumor has it
you fired baby.

She quit.

Why?

Rumor also has it you
dated her last night.

Could it be

that you were foul
enough to make a pass?

Crystal.

Come here.

Been doing a little talking,
crystal?

A little talking
and a lot of thinking

about whether I want my little girl
to remain in this kind of rattrap

under
this kind of management,

in case you're interested.

I'm not.

Tonic club owner
Tony armotti,

when queried about
the Boston babe,

made the following
comments-

Ziggy, one word in the column about baby,
just one word,

and you
won't know yourself.

I'm used

to the way your bartender
makes martinis.

Otherwise, I'd spit
in your eye.

Did you pass
your algebra?

Yes, I passed algebra.

Yes,
I picked a new name- Harry armotti.

It was going to be,

but if I am beginning to think
baby quit is why she quit,

I wouldn't use that name of
yours for a million bucks.

Man: That's all for now,
ladies and gentlemen.

It's dance time again.

Mike, another slug.

Say, Tony,
how come baby quit?

Roc wants
to talk to you.

I know it isn't
any of my business,

but I'm kind of curious
about why baby quit.

Eddie, please.
Don't ask.

If you know what's good for you,
don't ask.

Tony, well, Tony,

I've been thinking
things over.

So have I.

I want to get away for a while,
go on a trip maybe.

I haven't had a day
off in 6 months.

What's to be
so surprised about?

What I wanted to talk to you
about is I want to get away.

Oh.

What do you mean, oh?
I haven't had a day off in 2 years.

Whose fault is that?
Every time I try to make you go,

you give me a big
song and dance

about you get the blues
when you're not here.

So, now I get the blues
when I am here.

Hey. Hiya, counselor.
Come on in.

Oh.

You sure
it's all right?

Yeah. Why shouldn't
it be all right?

Last night,
it wasn't.

Oh, that.
That was last night.

I got to get out
of here, roc, honest.

What?

Oh, hi, waxie.
How's tricks?

What? No,
she didn't steal nothing.

Hey, listen,
she didn't get fired.

She, uh, resigned.

Well, because of, uh,

for personal reasons,
you might say.

Believe me, you wouldn't
be making no mistake.

She's an a-one secretary
of the highest caliber,

and I can recommend her

with, well,
with the biggest recommendation.

It's a pleasure, wax.

Hey, wax?
Give her my regards, huh?

Well, that takes care of baby.
She's all set.

What do you mean,
she's all set?

Waxie London's new place-
part-time secretary.

Just like here.

The guts of
that waxie London.

10 years with uncle
for grand larceny,

and he's worried,
is baby honest?

Are you
out of your mind?

Why did you let her
take such a job?

Why did I let her?
The girl's free.

She can work
where she wants.

You know why she went
over to waxie, don't you,

to show me,
to spite me.

That's crazy, Tony.
You're getting

one of them
persecution complexes.

The girl needs
a job, that's all.

There are a million jobs
she could get.

The only experience she
has is in nightclub work.

Do me a favor, will you?
Mind your own business.

Why should he mind
his own business?

Why don't you stop
minding baby's business?

Do you know what
kind of a place it is?

It just opened up.
Nobody knows.

Everybody knows
waxie London, don't they?

A man can change, can't he?
What if he's gone straight?

What are you all of a sudden,
a judge?

Ahh.

I beg your pardon.

Gee, where are you going
in such a hurry, roc?

I'm going to get drunk,
that's where I'm going.

But you'll get
heartburn.

It's better
than what I got.

Hey, Tony,
long time, no see.

Nick, I didn't know
you were out.

Sure. A couple
of days ago.

Through the office.
Through the office and up the stairs.

Thanks, Nick.

Well, this is
a surprise.

You can tell me
all about it later.

Right now, you're
getting out of here.

I certainly am not.

Where's your coat?

That's Mr. London's
apartment.

Come on,
miss know it all,

miss take care
of yourself.

Where's your coat?

Will you get
out of here before i-

waxie's torch.
Good evening.

No. Mr. London isn't in
the office at the moment.

Would you care
to leave a message?

"watch out"?

Just "Watch out"?

Who is this, please?

All right, baby.
Come on.

Come on,
let's quit-

I can't seem to make you
understand that I work here.

I like working here,
and I'm going to go on working here.

It may be smaller than the tonic,
but my salary is larger.

How come you're
worth so much?

Come on,
come on.

Tony, pal, I knew you'd
come to see old waxie.

If I say,
it'll be the brained old waxie.

What do you mean hiring
a girl like that?

I'm terribly
sorry about-

what do you mean,
what do I mean hiring a girl like that?

She's looking for a secretary job.
I got a secretary job.

Why shouldn't
we do business?

You tell her what
kind of business?

What's that
got to do with her?

She sits in the office.
She answers the phone in a nice voice.

And every once in a while,
she types a letter.

What's so terrible?

She sits and types
a letter to my mother.

A lovely letter,
Mr. London.

He hasn't got a mother.
She passed away-

god rest her soul-a
good 10 years ago.

I don't understand.
Why would he want me to keep on writing it?

He's got to have something
legit for you to do,

doesn't he?

Because what he hired you
for is window dressing,

window dressing for
a gambling joint,

that's all.

That's a dirty lousy lie.
And what's it to you?

If you say one more word,
so help me-

Shut up. Shut up.

What is it, Mr. London?
What's happening?

It don't pay to be honest.
That's what's happening.

Hey, boys,
I cheated the cops.

Let's go.

Man: Get him.

Come on.

Man: All right, folks,
off the dance floor.

Nobody will get hurt...

Second man:
Get in that private office.

Open up. Open up.

The washroom.
Through the washroom.

Sergeant,
let's get this door open.

Hold this.

Man: Try the
side door!

All right,
open this door!

Come on,
what are you waiting for?

Open up in there!
Open up!

Down the street.

You might as well
face it, baby,

you can't make a move
without getting in trouble.

Still, in all,

if you don't want to go
back to Massachusetts-

you don't-
that's up to you.

The only thing is I can't keep
traveling all over the city

bailing you out.

So, you know
what I think?

I think you ought to
come back to the tonic.

Ok, huh?

I'm telling you
for the last time,

I'm none
of your business.

Man: Hey, taxi!
Baby: Taxi!

Taxi.

Come here,
buddy.

Thanks, girlie.

This isn't your cab.

Shh. It is so.

No, this is my taxi,
isn't it, driver?

It's my taxi.
And in a minute, I'm leaving with it.

Come on, honey. Act like
a lady, will you, please?

Move off, buddy. Off there.

Hey. What the-

out! Out!

Hey, what happened?
Somebody tripped me or something.

Man: Ah, it must be
the wind.

You see what
I mean, baby?

You can't make
a move.

Ooh!

Listen, buddy,
will you follow me down the street?

Yeah, sure, ok.

Ok?

Yeah.

* my poor heart
is sentimental *

* it's not made of wood

* I got it bad

* and that ain't good

* but when
the weekend rolls... *

hey, roc,

I've been thinking it
over about baby.

Taking everything
into consideration,

she'll be
better off here.

Yeah?

Yeah.

At least here,
everybody appreciates her.

In my opinion,
you might be right.

Only thing is,
you were kind of worried

about what would happen
if she hung around,

you know,

with night school and
concerts and lectures

and all like that.

Yeah. When it happens,
I'll worry about it.

In that case,
I'll hire her back.

I got no objections.

I did already.
She's in the office.

Fine. That saves me
the trouble.

Well, I'll
see you later.

Yeah.

Hey, Mike, a bottle
of champagne.

Is baby back?

Yeah.

* this could be the night

* this...

Where is she?!

She's in the back.

Hey, baby, it's true
what I hear, you're back?

Patsy: Yeah! Isn't
that wonderful?

I passed it. I passed it.
He got every problem right.

Good for him.

I knew
she'd be back.

You should have seen
Tony's face

when I got through telling him off.
He was white.

But you should have seen Rocco when he
got finished eating my food tonight.

He was green.

Leon, you didn't.

I did, I did.

You should have
seen his face.

We just came in

to say a little
hello to the baby.

What do you think I came in
for, to dictate a letter?

Hi.

Don't you
say hi to me,

not until you put on
your new suit.

Some bossy dame.

College broad.

*...And not take our inning? *

* why should we fight it?

* there's
no chance of winning *

* and in this case,
the beat would be oh, so, sweet *

* oh, the nights may come

* and the nights may go

* but tonight

* I know paradise
is in our sight *

* and this could be
the night *

* this could be the night

* this
the wondrous night *

* of love
