The Girl from Missouri1934

T.R. Paige:
What is this, blackmail?

Eadie Chapman:
Why, Mr. Paige. If it's about Mr. Cousins, I only wanted to thank you for keeping my name out of the papers.

T.R. Paige:
Oh, it that so? All that publicity might have gotten you ahead.

Eadie Chapman:
Oh, but I don't want to get ahead. Not in show business.

T.R. Paige:
Oh, you don't.

Eadie Chapman:
No. A few years in the spotlight, if you make it, and when its over you're nothing but a has-been for the rest of your life.

T.R. Paige:
Where did you pick up all this philosophy?

Eadie Chapman:
Being poor and being hungry.
