Affectionately Yours1941

Tom 'Tommy':
You're up tp your old tricks, eh? Three calls so far today.

'Rickey' Mayberry:
Who were they?

Tom 'Tommy':
All the same party. She said to tell you she was stopping at the Hanover Apartments, and to get in touch with her. Some dame named Irene Malcolm.

'Rickey' Mayberry:
Tommy, are you really glad to see me?

Tom 'Tommy':
Well, sure I am.

'Rickey' Mayberry:
Then do me a favor and call her up and try to date her up. I'll give you anything if you take her off my hands.

Tom 'Tommy':
You're a cinch. All you have to do is pay the expenses.

'Rickey' Mayberry:
I'll do better than that. Someday, if there ever is a dame that bothers you, just call me and I'll take you off the hook. [enters his boss's office, Irene is sitting across the desk; she heard the entire conversation.] Checking in chief!

Irene Malcolm:
Thanks! For fixing me up on a blind date!

'Chet' Phillips:
[Rickey looks for some help] Don't look at me. I'm not gonna dig you out.

'Rickey' Mayberry:
Irene, I was just kidding.

Irene Malcolm:
[angry] I know just what you mean, darling. You wouldn't for the world!
