00:00The women you'll be meeting are all used to men who are both charming and attentive.

00:10Your manners must be impeccable. Flutter their femininity.

00:15Buzz, we'll begin with you.

00:17Me?

00:18Yes, we'll start at the beginning, when you go to call for them. Come along.

00:23Now imagine this is the doorway to her house or flat. You go outside and knock, and I'll answer the door.

00:33Now?

00:34Yes, now.

00:35Okay.

00:46Oh, go on. What do you say?

00:49Oh, well, my name's Buzz Jenkins, you know. I came along from Kennedy's Bureau. They'd say...

00:55Oh, no, you mustn't say Kennedy's Bureau. That might embarrass the woman. No, you put her entirely at her ease.

01:01Just give your name and shake her by the hand, politely. Now try again.

01:06Okay.

01:09I think that covers everything except the end to our perfect evening. Sometimes this can be the most difficult part.

01:16Now and then you get a client who expects not only a date, but a lover.

01:20Oh, you could put me down for one of them.

01:22I'm deadly serious on this point. When you take her home, you say goodnight to her, and that's the end of it.

01:28We're a reputable agency, and we intend to stay that way.

01:30But suppose she asks you in for a drink?

01:32Well, you refuse as politely as possible. Well, if you think it's an innocent invitation, and she'd be disappointed if you didn't,

01:39you could have one drink and then leave. But that's all.

01:42And if, while you're having the drink, she makes a pass?

01:45Well, you water off.

01:46Oh, but some girls can be pretty insistent, I hope.

01:50Buzz, please.

01:53Steve, I'll be you, and you'll be the client.

01:58Make a pass at me.

02:07I... I think you'd better leave it to your own judgment.

02:15Buzz.
