Transcript
00:00Why am I the only one who has any brains?
00:04Do you have to shake that thing as though you had the palsy?
00:08No, sir.
00:09And what's the matter with your voice?
00:11You talk as though you had a mouth full of mush.
00:13What is it?
00:15It's a mint.
00:18Get rid of it.
00:20And you.
00:21You move around like a Hawaiian wiggle.
00:24Say, listen, egg.
00:25You can ball the town out of this old lady, but not out of me.
00:28Get it?
00:29You're fired.
00:30Get out.
00:31Oh, who cares anyway?
00:33Say, listen, sissy.
00:34That little bit means so much to Fern.
00:36Couldn't you see?
00:37Listen, Pam.
00:38I've seen a time when I'd kiss a director's feet to earn five bucks a day, but not anymore.
00:45Oh, don't blame her when that bootlegger friend of hers is getting five bucks a pint.
00:50I don't care.
00:51That guy's not going to get away with talking like that to me.
00:54Clothesleave.
01:05Oh, no, you don't.
01:07That's mine.
01:08I wouldn't wear the old clothes in this dump.
01:11Is that so?
01:12Yeah, and here's some of your old paid jewelry.
01:15Well, give me your check.
01:16Here.
01:23Anybody else ready?
01:24Yes, I'm ready.
01:30My, but that's pretty, isn't it?
01:32Yes, it is.
01:33It's beautiful.
01:34I'll give you the jewelry.
01:36Here it is.
01:37Brooch, ring, bracelet.
01:39I'll put it in there.
01:42Here's my check.
01:47Pat, maybe some big executive will see that little bit you did with me today.
01:52Then you'll get your chance.
01:54I hope so.
01:55That's a lot of hooey.
01:57This business is a racket, not a fairyland.
02:00But extras have been known to become stars.
02:03Of course they have.
02:04Lots of them.
02:05Oh, Pat, you're such a fool.
02:07Why, with your looks, you could get anything you wanted.
02:11Sissy, let's not go into that again.
02:13Well, if you persist in being a sap, at least get a little fun out of life.
02:17Come to my party tonight.
02:19Thanks, but I can't.
02:20It's Jimmy's birthday.
02:21Oh, so you're still flying your kite with that dizzy reporter.
02:25Jimmy's a nice lad.
02:27Yeah, nice to feel like I'm poor and full of baloney.
02:30Come on, you ready?
