For Me and My Gal

Man 1: Whoa, Nelly! Whoa! Right here.

- Hi, Jim. - Hello, bill.

- Cold enough for you? - You're darn right.

- No. Just a few actors. - Oh!

- Hiya, neighbor. - Hiya.

- You a couple of 'em actors? - That's right.

You don't look like actors.

I got a piece of news for you. This doesn't look like a town.

- Say, that's a nifty! - You like that?

What do you think of this one?

- No. What did he say? - Ouch!

Say that's alright. Where did you get that one?

That's one of my father's jokes.

What are you, one of your mother's?

Say, he looks like an actor.

You called it, friend. Harry Palmer, single 0.

- How you doing? - Hi. I'm Jimmy metcalfe...

How you doing? Glad to see you.

Well, hiya, chicks. Meet Harry Palmer, headliner.

Bus for the hotel! The hotel bus!

- Is that it over there? - Yes, sir.

Go ahead, kids. Get in the bus. Sid and I will bring the bags.

Aren't you a little out of season?

Who's the want ad with the squirrel around his neck?

Single act, name of Palmer.

His act can't be as funny as that coat.

Palmer: Hey, how do you like this billing?

"Harry Palmer, america's foremost

that's the way it's gonna read someday at the palace too.

Say, how long you been with this stale act?

Are you kidding? Jimmy metcalfe has a great act.

And it's gonna be better too.

Wait till you hear the terrific arrangement he's buying.

- Arrangement? Where? - Right here.

The orchestra leader. He writes sensational stuff.

Thanks, kid. I'll give you a joke sometime.

Say, Lou, you can't expect my girls

to dress way up there on the third floor.

- They got changes to make. - Sorry, Jimmy.

But I have to hand out dressing rooms according to billing.

0h, sure, I know about that, but Palmer won't mind.

He looks like a swell guy.

0h, if it's okay by Palmer, it's okay by me.

- Thanks! - Hey, kids!

Kids, it's okay! We're moving!

- I'm Harry Palmer. - How do you do?

I hear you got a special arrangement

how did you hear about it?

- He did? - Sure.

Look, I'm breaking in a new act.

If the arrangement's any good, I'll give you 50 bucks.

I'd like to but I promised it to Jimmy.

Eh, he won't be needing it. That act is gonna fold any day.

- It is? Gee whiz. - Sure.

- Come on, what do you say? - But I promised it to Jimmy.

- 50 bucks. - I sure can use that 50.

Jo: Well, when Jimmy gets the act fixed up

we're not gonna have to play in these kinda dumps anymore.

That girl act in my dressing room?

I'm sorry, Mr. Palmer, the young ladies in Mr. Metcalfe's act

got a lot of changes to make.

Look, I know when to be nice to young ladies.

I'm topping this bill and I rate the number one room!

Okay, Mr. Palmer. Okay.

Sorry, kids. Mr. Palmer insists on having this room.

You'll have to dress upstairs.

Let's not keep the gentleman waiting.

- After all, he's number one. - Yeah.

There's nothing lower than number one.

I bet he takes a bow every time he hears a clap of thunder.

- You see what I mean? - Yeah, I see what you mean.

- Go on, Lily. - Say, you know, I was...

- Danny! Oh! - Jo.

I'm glad to see you. How'd you get out of school?

I told the Dean you were playing 30 miles away.

So he let me out a couple of classes.

Well, that's wonderful! Oh, I'm sorry.

Jimmy, this is my brother, Danny.

- How do you do? - Oh, glad to see you.

And I'm sure glad you're her brother.

Well, I'll see you later.

- Oh, don't go. - Oh, no. You two go on.

Have a good talk to yourselves and I'll see you after a while.

It's awfully nice to know you, Danny.

Hey, he seems like a nice guy.

Oh, he's the nicest fella you'll ever meet.

Come on. Sit down. Now, tell me something.

Oh, same old thing.

You beginning to feel like a doctor?

- Well, stand up. - Huh?

Well, stand up. Come on.

Oh, boy! You're gonna be a tall doctor.

Tell me, when do you have to go back to school?

Huh?

- What? - I'm not going back.

Why? What's the matter? Did something happen at school?

- Oh, no, no. Nothing like that. - Well, then what is it?

Well, it just doesn't make sense.

I sit in a nice, warm dormitory, and you wear yourself out

Jo, I just saw your act.

Oh, nothing. Nothing's the matter with it.

You're great.

It just seems to me the act isn't getting anywhere.

Maybe if you didn't have me around your neck...

Now you listen to me, you oughta be ashamed of yourself

didn't we make a deal once? Well, didn't we?

You were gonna through medical school

and pay me back with interest.

This is a fine time to quit on your last year.

Just when you're doing great. Well I'm not gonna let you quit.

- How you like that? - But, Jo...

What do you want to be? A no-good tramp or something?

You're not working any hardship on me.

Don't you see, honey? I love it.

And you're gonna stay in medical school.

I gotta make sure somebody in this family is a success.

- Well, so long, Jo. - Goodbye, Danny.

Don't forget to send me that picture.

- Yeah. - All aboard!

- I guess I better be going. - Yeah, goodbye.

We're gonna be alright, you and I.

- Yeah. - Goodbye. Goodbye, honey.

- See you at the palace, kid. - Alright, doctor. It's a date.

- Danny: Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Hiya, springtime. Going my way?

Say, you know it's not safe for a pretty girl

to be walking around alone at night by herself.

Oh, look, why don't you come off it?

You know you're gonna wind up calling me pet names.

- Well, of all the... - Ah-ah-ah!

Tempo, springtime! Tempo, tempo!

Look, I didn't like you at 7 o'clock this morning

and I don't like you now.

And if you keep playing your cards right,

I'm gonna wind up hating you.

So why don't you just evaporate,

hey, I want to talk to you about business.

- Write me a letter. - Oh, it's too important.

Listen, fancy face, I caught you on-stage this afternoon.

You sing like a bird, dance like a deer,

but that act you're with...

That's two pins and a lollipop.

- What do you mean? - It's murder.
