Gold Diggers of 1937

? Oh baby what I couldn't do ?

? With plenty of money and you ?

? In spite of the worry that money brings ?

? Just a little filthy lucre buys a lot of things ?

? And I could take you to places you'd like to go ?

? But outside of that I've no use for dough ?

? It's the root of all evil of strife and upheaval ?

? But I'm certain honey that life could be sunny ?

? With plenty of money and you ??

Alright now, boys!

This afternoon, for our final session

we will have with us Andy Callahan.

Manager of the Good Life Agency.

Introducing, Andy Callahan.

Men, I've only got one thing to say.

Car loadings.

Car loadings!

What does it mean when I say that car loadings

are up 16 and one half percent over last month?

What has that got to do with life insurance?

Plenty.

It means there is no depression.

Don't let your prospect talk about it.

All you've got to do is get him so enthused

over what life insurance would do for him..

...that he can see himself lying in his grave..

...glorying in the physical comfort of his family.

You can't sell insurance..

...sitting on your chairs in the office.

You've gotta get out and get it!

Alright, now, boys. Let's go.

Everybody follow our song leader, Rosmer Peek.

Where is Rosmer?

Come on, Rosmer. Come out from wherever you are.

- Rosmer, come on. - Rosmer!

We want Rosmer. We want Rosmer.

Boop, I'm gonna get someplace, see?

When I left school, I got into this to please my father.

I'm not cut out for it, neither are you.

Yes, sir. I'm gonna get out of this insurance business

as soon as I get back to New York.

Peek! Oglethorpe!

Come on! Up and at 'em. That's the old pep.

They want you to sing, Rosmer, quick.

I thought you cured them yesterday.

So did I. Guess they relapsed.

That's the old stuff. Give them all you got!

Alright, Andy. We'll give our all for Good Life.

? You'll get pie in the sky ?

? You'll get pie in the sky when you die die die ?

? If you buy buy buy life insurance ?

? Lilies will adorn you relatives will mourn you ?

? They'll be in the gravy when you're in the grave ?

? You'll get pie in the sky ?

? Angels high all will cry ?

? Did you buy buy buy ?

? The super great the pearly gate ?

? The New York colossal the U.S. old fossil ?

? The A.K. and A.Z. the knee deep in daisy ?

? Life insurance ?

Everybody!

? You'll get pie in the sky ?

? You'll get pie in the sky when you die die die ?

? If you buy buy buy life insurance ?

? Lilies will adorn you relatives will mourn you ?

? They'll be in the gravy when you're in the grave ?

? You'll get pie ??

'All aboard!'

'The Jolly Maids.'

'We should be called "The Fire Horse Brigade."'

No company made a quick round trip to Atlantic City

since footlights were invented.

I must say it's very humiliating.

I haven't got over it yet.

Oh dear, I-I feel as if I were going to faint any minute.

Save it. There's no man around to catch you.

I thought it was such a pretty little show.

You didn't ever see the show.

All you ever saw was that moonfaced tenor.

Working for Herman is like a student tour.

I should be used to it, but I'm not.

- Hello, Verna. - Hello, dear.

I want my luggage, if you please.

She wants her luggage.

Aren't you going back with us?

Oh, dear, no.

I couldn't think of riding on that beastly train.

I hate trains.

She hates trains.

- Take them to the car. - Yes, miss.

Harry ran up for me, you know.

She'd wear that coat if it killed her.

Six months ago, she was working for a seamstress.

- Now she's engaged to a broker. - How'd she get such a break?

One day, the broker ripped his pants. The rest is history.

And I believe she's got the right idea.

That's way to get ahead in this business.

- Work for a seamstress? - Yeah...no, be a gold digger.

Of course a girl doesn't have to be a gold digger exactly.

If she wants to be nice to a man and takes presents from him..

...in a nice way, I mean.

And men just love to give presents to little girls.

And it's such fun. I mean, opening packages.

Yeah, if y'all's conscience don't jump out at you.

Girls, from now on, you're looking at a new Genevieve.

A gal who starts with that old mighty slogan, "Get your man."

And ends with the old police slogan Cherchez la femme.

What are you doing?

I'm doing nothing in this world but looking for a job.

They don't advertise for chorus girls. They just whisper it.

Nevertheless, I want a job.

One where they hand you a pay envelope every Saturday night

and out comes money.

Sounds interesting.

Oh, look!

Look, girls. A gold rush!

Get out your pick and shovel.

I always love men around me when I'm hungry.

Girls, we're saved. Look what's getting on.

Happy days are here again.

I hope there's a fat man among them, I like fat men.

You can always outrun them.

They're insurance salesmen.

Whoever heard of an insurance salesman with a dime?

They have expense accounts and we can get dinner.

I never did like starving.

- You coming along? - No, thank you.

- You coming, Genevieve? - Not me.

I never found a worthwhile guy in a day coach.

I'm going to explore the observation car.

- I think I'll go with you. - Well, good luck.

- You all ready, girls? - Yes!

Come on, let's go.

I hope I find some kinda boyfriend.

Come on, girls. Just get in, get in.

Hello. Hello.

What's the matter, Sally? Open the door.

We're hungry.

Well, it's stuck or locked or something.

Say, can I help?

Oh, thank you.

That's the kind of work I do.

Say, I'm afraid it is locked.

Oh dear. We were on our way to the diner.

I don't want you to think I'm fresh or anything..

...but if you'll sit down and wait till I'm hungry..

...I'll break that door and go with you.

Well, I hardly think I should.

No sense in going back when you've come this far.

Sit, I'll tell you the story of my life.

I might if it isn't too long.

I hope ya'll forgive me.

But sitting here with a strange gentleman

makes me feel terribly embarrassed.

At home on the plantation, my daddy wouldn't think

of letting me talk to a strange northerner.

Northerner? Honey, didn't you know I was from the South?

Why, that makes a big difference.

Oh, sure enough, honey.

What are we waiting for? Let's play. I won't tell your pappy.

If you ask me, I don't see why J.J. wanted us to come here

and catch a turkey like that Jolly Maids.

We've got shows of our own just as bad.

Well, I'm going in and get some dinner.

You coming?

Oh dear. Stupid of me, isn't it?

Not at all. I'm afraid it's me.

I'm looking for the diner. Is it down this way?

No, this is the last car. It must be the other way.

Unless we've lost it.

Goodness. I'm afraid I'll never be able to find it.

Well, may I show you?

Oh, would you? Thank you so much.

And your friend?

Oh, me? Oh, I'm not hungry.

Oh!

Oh, is this your paper?

Well, it was.

I'm so sorry, I didn't see you under it.

Well, weren't the feet hanging out?

Oh yes. I'm a little shortsighted.

Oh, is that so? That's too bad.

I had trouble with my eyes about 10 years ago.

Really? When you were just a boy.

Well, not exactly a boy.

You'll forgive me for disturbing you, won't you?

Why, of course.

You'll go on with your nap as if nothing happened, won't you?

Well, uh, as a matter of fact

I don't feel like napping just now, Miss..

Larkin. Genevieve Larkin.

Isn't that a terrible name?

I always wanted to be called something like Jewela or Carmen.

Or something sweet like that.

But mother thought that..

Poor Mother.

She thought Genevieve would protect me better.

Poor, dear Mother. She was always worrying about me.

And she's gone?

Yes, and father too.
