Man Wanted

Fred 'Freddie' Ames:
Hey, you changed your office, haven't you? I hardly recognize it.

Lois Ames:
You should come down oftener and see where your busy little wife works.

Fred 'Freddie' Ames:
You're a swell girl, Lois. Don't you ever resent having a rich loafer for a husband?

Lois Ames:
Never.

Lois Ames:
You see, I've been having trouble with secretaries. The work is so uncertain. It needs a man. You understand that our relations will be purely of a business nature.

Thomas 'Tom':
Of course, Mrs. Ames.

Lois Ames:
It pays 50 a week and may develop into something better. That, of course, will be up to you.

Thomas 'Tom':
Well, I shall certainly appreciate the chance, Mrs. Ames.

Lois Ames:
Good.

Thomas 'Tom':
Can't you get it through your fat head that, today, there's just as many serious-minded women in business as men. When you meet them you don't have to treat them as if your out on a party.

Andy Doyle:
Well, what did you do?

Thomas 'Tom':
I didn't talk to her any differently than I would to a man.

Andy Doyle:
You're all alone with her.

Thomas 'Tom':
Well, what of it?

Andy Doyle:
Well, why didn't ya?

Thomas 'Tom':
Listen, kid, it isn't fair to you to be engaged.

Ruth 'Ruthie' Holman:
Why not?

Thomas 'Tom':
Well, that night we were all swanked up and I talked you into it. Who am I to be engaged to any woman?

Ruth 'Ruthie' Holman:
You know something, you were just fooling, but, its true, if you hadn't been swank that night, we wouldn't be engaged.

Thomas 'Tom':
I knew you had brains. I knew you'd see it that way.

Ruth 'Ruthie' Holman:
Why, of course, I do. Seeing you swank was what made me fall in love with you - the swell way you carried your liquor. Any boy who can get away with what you did, so politely, well, I want him for life.
