The Easiest Way

Peg:
Say, where was you hidin' last night?

Nick:
Don't say a word, I was written a speech.

Peg:
A what?

Nick:
Yeah! The Laundrymen's Fraternal Association is giving a banquet Saturday night. The old man is gonna make a speech.

Laura Murdock:
What old man?

Nick:
Mine! I'm learned it to him.

Ben:
When your old man croaks, Nick, you ought to get a nice piece of change along with the business.

Nick:
Oh, I ain't the guy to wait for that. If I can get the backing, I'm going into the game myself. Why, over on Long Island, the wet wash territory ain't even been scratched.

Peg:
Mmmm, that sure listens good to me, angel face!

Nick:
Ahhh, baby! [Hugs Peg, kisses her neck, and bite's her ear]

Peg:
Hey! My ear!

Laura Murdock:
You better get in training, Peg.

Nick:
Nothin' high brow goes with us, hey, baby?

Peg:
No.

Chris Swoboda - Laura's Suitor:
Hello there, kiddo!

Laura Murdock:
Hello, Chris.

Chris Swoboda - Laura's Suitor:
Wait a minute!

Laura Murdock:
Oh, I haven't time.

Chris Swoboda - Laura's Suitor:
Come on inside.

Laura Murdock:
Oh, Chris, please! I'll be late for work!

Chris Swoboda - Laura's Suitor:
Ah, come on! Give me a little kiss. What's the matter? Don't you love me anymore?

Laura Murdock:
Oh, don't be silly!

Chris Swoboda - Laura's Suitor:
Ah, come on, just one.

Laura Murdock:
Oh, Chris, please, you'll mess my collar. I can't be mauled!

Chris Swoboda - Laura's Suitor:
Oh, I'm crazy about you, Laura, I can't help it.

William Brockton:
That's good. Very good.

[Looking at an advertising layout]

William Brockton:
Who's the model?

Mr. Gensler:
She's a new one.

William Brockton:
One of your finds?

Mr. Gensler:
Yes. Got her right out of a department store.

William Brockton:
Is she like this?

Mr. Gensler:
Oh, they don't get her beauty by 50 per cent and her personality is Park Avenue Plus!

William Brockton:
Not a lady?

Mr. Gensler:
Oh, no, she's right out of the tenements. But, she has a natural gift for class!

William Brockton:
What's her name?

Mr. Gensler:
Murdoch.

William Brockton:
Sounds Irish. That's interesting.

Elfie:
Well, honey, this week is my farewell appearance. I've got a grand break.

Laura Murdock:
Oh, what is it?

Elfie:
What is it? Its a nice sugar daddy and he thinks I'm the prized bathing beauty. Ha-ha-ha.

Laura Murdock:
Oh, what's he like?

Elfie:
Well, he's not much to look at, but, oh boy, he's a wonder at writing checks!

Elfie:
Come in please.

Brockton Associate:
Mr. Brockton would like to see Miss Murdock in the office, right away.

Laura Murdock:
Oh my goodness, what am I going to do? I'm not dressed!

Elfie:
Well, wear a smile and go as you are! I did it once and got a raise.

Mr. Gensler:
With your figure, you're wasting time here. This is what you should be doing. [Hands her his card]

Laura Murdock:
Advertising Agency? What could I do there?

Mr. Gensler:
Model.

Laura Murdock:
One of those artist's models? My mother'd pass out.

Mr. Gensler:
Oh-oh, no. Commercial art.

Ben:
By the way, I forgot to mention, could you spare, eh, five?

Laura Murdock:
Here's ten, Dad. And don't spend it all on the bootlegger.

Nick:
I ain't stuck on havin' you drive up here in your fine cars and limousines. We ain't limousine people.

Jack Madison:
You know, I may be gone two, maybe, three months. What are you going to do? Are you going to be alright?

Laura Murdock:
Mmm-hmm. I'll go back to my old job, commercial posing.

Jack Madison:
Not one of these artists that, eh...

Laura Murdock:
No. Nothing worst than undies, darling.

William Brockton:
You've tasted luxury, my dear. And that's worst than drugs.

Laura Murdock:
I don't blame anyone, for anything.
