00:30Good morning, Mr. Mooney.
00:51Good morning. Do you have the mail?
00:53Well, I certainly have, right here.
00:55I've been waiting for it, you know. You're late, you're late.
00:57Oh, I'm sorry.
00:58I'll open this one. It looks important.
01:00Yes, sir.
01:00I'd better open that one, too.
01:02Why you can't get here on time, I'll never know.
01:03Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Mooney.
01:05I'm never late. Not me.
01:06Not that late, Mr. Mooney.
01:07I am here right on the spot all the time.
01:11There's... Oh, I wonder...
01:12Wow!
01:15Wow, what?
01:16This letter's from Mr. Cheever.
01:18Oh, Mr. Cheever, huh.
01:20Oh, does he want to know how I'm handling things here while he's back east?
01:23No. No, listen to this.
01:26Dear Mooney, Monsieur Jacques Dupre will arrive in Los Angeles on Monday, and I have suggested
01:33that he visit you in your office.
01:35He's coming here.
01:36He's coming right here.
01:38His company is scheduled to produce pictures in Hollywood.
01:41I am most hopeful you can land the account yours truly, Mr. Cheever.
01:44What do you think of that?
01:45Well, I'm delighted to have the opportunity to accommodate him.
01:49Are you a fan of his, too?
01:51As long as he is president of this bank, I will be a fan of Mr. Cheever.
01:56I meant, are you a fan of Jacques Dupre?
02:00Who is Jacques Dupre?
02:02Who is Jacques Dupre?
02:04Well, he's one of the most famous movie stars in France.
02:07Well, what... When is this movie star coming?
02:10He arrives on Monday.
02:12That's today.
02:13He might be here any minute.
02:14Oh, yes, any minute.
02:15Well, pick up the letters.
02:17The place looks like I'm missed.
02:18All right, hurry up.
02:24Come in.
02:26Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bonjour.
02:32It's him.
02:34It's him.
02:35It's him.
02:36It's Jacques Dupre.
02:38Down, Mrs. Carmichael, down.
02:42Monsieur Mounet?
02:43Uh, oui, je suis très enchante de vous voir.
02:52What did he say?
02:54I think it's French.
02:56Does he speak English?
02:57Well, of course I do.
02:59Oh, of course, so do I.
03:00Me too.
03:03Oh, uh, Mrs. Carmichael, my secretary.
03:07Hello.
03:07Oh, thank you.
03:09I mean, uh, I'm very happy to meet you.
03:12Pleasure is all night.
03:14Oh, I have two of them.
03:22Uh, won't you sit down, Mr. Dupre?
03:25Oh, thank you.
03:31Let go of him.
03:36Oh, uh, Mrs. Carmichael is such a big fan, she gets carried away.
03:40Oh, I am fluttered.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Mr. Cheever wrote me a letter and told me,
03:44Will you go and sit down?
03:49Mr. Cheever told me you might be interested in the services of our bank.
03:54That's right.
03:55Well, wonderful.
03:56I can assure you that all of our facilities are at your command.
04:01Yeah.
04:03I'll handle this.
04:07Now, what can I do for you?
04:09I have a few checks brawled on my bank in France,
04:11and I wonder if you would, uh, cash them for me.
04:14Well, I'll take care of the matter immediately.
04:16Yes, indeed.
04:17It's your pleasure.
04:18Uh, Mrs. Carmichael.
04:19Yes, sir.
04:20I, uh, perhaps, uh, Mr. Dupre might, uh, like to look at a magazine while I'm gone.
04:25Oh.
04:26Oh, I must say it's a great pleasure having you here in my office.
04:30Thank you, Mr. Mooney.
04:34I was talking to him.
04:36Oh.
04:40Mr. Dupre, uh, I, I have a fan magazine here,
04:43and it has a picture of you in it.
04:45Would you give me your autograph, please?
04:47Oh, I'd be delighted to.
04:48Here, here's a pen.
04:50Now, your name is, uh, Mrs. Carmichael?
04:52Oh, would you make it out to Lucy?
04:54Oh, uh, well, uh, let's say,
04:57how about if I write, uh, warmest regards to Lucy?
05:01Fine.
05:01Uh, whose, uh, irresistible charm
05:05and, uh, intoxicating beauty
05:08incites the hearts of men
05:11to, to overflow with,
05:13with a romantic inclination.
05:15Oh!
05:19Oh, that's lovely.
05:22Ma, oh, uh, would you write it in French?
05:25I want to show it to my mother.
05:26Oh, uh, is your mother French?
05:28No, she's old-fashioned Irish.
05:30That's why you better write it.
05:31Oh, uh, uh, you know something?
05:35I saw you three times in Kisses at Dawn.
05:38Oh, uh, did you like the picture?
05:39Oh, yes, yes, I just loved it.
05:41But you know something?
05:42I was absolutely terrified
05:44at the scene where, where,
05:46where the lion tamer got sick
05:48and you had to take his place.
05:50Oh, yes, that was an exciting scene, huh?
05:52Was it a real lion?
05:53Of course!
05:54Weren't you scared?
05:56Uh, no, no, no, because, you see, uh,
05:57before the lion was brought into the cage,
05:59the director insisted on using tranquilizers.
06:04Tranquilizers?
06:04Oh, they doped the lion.
06:06No, me!
06:10Oh, oh, well, I still think they were crazy
06:12putting a big star like you
06:14in a, in a cage with a real lion.
06:16Oh, no, you see, because
06:17the lion tamer told me what to do.
06:20Well, what'd he say?
06:21Yes, well, you see, I had, um,
06:23I had a whip.
06:24Uh-huh.
06:24See?
06:25And I had a chair.
06:26Oh.
06:27Now, the idea is to confuse the lion.
06:29Oh, really?
06:30Yes.
06:30Now, you do that by yelling.
06:32Ah!
06:32Oh!
06:33Uh-huh.
06:34And by cracking the whip to distract him.
06:36Oh.
06:36Oh, yes, yes, yes, I've seen him.
06:39Now, when the lion raises his paw,
06:41he raises the chair to block off his vision.
06:44Oh!
06:45You see?
06:45Uh-huh.
06:45Yes.
06:46Now, uh, uh, uh, take your hand and, uh,
06:48and, uh, and, uh, and pour at me.
06:50Oh, you mean make like a lion?
06:51Right.
06:52Oh.
06:53Yes, go.
06:53Ah!
06:54Ah!
06:55Ah!
06:55Ah!
06:56Ah!
06:57Ah!
06:58Ah!
06:58Ah!
07:13Ah!
07:14Matthew Dufres.
07:16Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
07:18Please accept my apologies.
07:20Oh, I knew that one day this teenaged senior citizen would flip.
07:25No, no, Monsieur. It's not her fault. No, no, no, no. I was just explaining to her how I once played the role of a lion tamer in motion picture.
07:35You see?
07:36Oh, oh. Here's your money, Mr. Dupre.
07:42Excuse me.
07:43Oh, thank you.
07:46Well, let's get down to business, shall we, Mr. Dupre?
07:50Mr. Dupre, Mr. Dupre tells me that your company is going to make a picture here in Hollywood.
07:55That's right.
07:56Well, our bank has had a lot of experience in that field. I'm sure you'd be more than satisfied with our services.
08:02I'd be quite interested.
08:04Wonderful. Then all we need from you is a formal letter of agreement, and we can close the deal right now.
08:10Fine, fine. But I must go back to my hotel right now. I'm expecting a few calls from Europe.
08:15Oh.
08:16But perhaps you could send a secretary to my hotel, and I could dictate the agreement.
08:21Yes, indeed. Of course I could, and I have just the girl for you.
08:25Oh, Mr. Mooney, you're a doll.
08:28Not you.
08:31I could go over on my lunch hour.
08:33Now, Mrs. Carmichael, I'm...
08:34So, Mr. Mooney, it's my lunch hour, and I'm really a very fine secretary, Mr. Dupre.
08:40Well, I'd be delighted to have Mrs. Carmichael.
08:43See?
08:45Well, of course, anything you say, Mr. Dupre.
08:48Well, I hope it's not unfair to ask you to come on your lunch hour and work at the hotel with me.
08:53It is my pleasure.
08:54Oh, you are so nice. You are so, so generous. I... I... I don't know what to say.
09:00I just hope you won't be saying, Yankee, go ho.
09:04Mr. Dupre, what hotel are you staying at?
09:08At the Plaza Royal.
09:10The Plaza Royal. I'll be there at 12.30.
09:12Good. And while we are working, I will order some lunch.
09:15Oh, some lunch with you? Oh, how wonderful.
09:19Okay. Thank you so much.
09:21Oh, my pleasure, sir. I assure you.
09:24Uh, oh, River Darchie.
09:28It's all.
09:29Oh, Mr. Mooney. Hasn't this been a morning?
09:40Yes, and before it's completely shut, let's get to answering the mail, shall we?
09:44Well, can't we do it this afternoon? I have to get over to the hotel.
09:47You're not due there until 12.30.
09:49Well, I have to go home first.
09:50Why?
09:51Well, I don't want him to see me like this.
09:56To your death?
09:57Uh, Mr. Mooney, I want to go home.
09:59It's going to change my life.
10:01That's right. We've been in production in about ten days.
10:15Fine. Bye.
10:17I'm, uh, I'm sorry I'm a little late.
10:33Oh, it's all right. It's all right.
10:38You look lovely.
10:39Oh, and thank you. I, uh, I like to be comfortable when I work, so I just ran home and tossed down this little old thing.
10:48Very chic.
10:50Please, come in, sit down.
10:51Oh.
10:58I will order some lunch.
10:59Oh, uh, are you sure you wouldn't rather get some work done first?
11:03No, I have a better idea.
11:05First, we're going to have some champagne.
11:08Champagne? Well.
11:11Chateau Bergerac.
11:13Oh.
11:151959.
11:16Uh, 59.
11:17Oh, that was a very good year.
11:24Uh, but what about our work?
11:26Oh, it will still be here. That's one thing about work. It never runs away.
11:30Touché.
11:31You speak French.
11:34Well, I do, don't I?
11:37Here.
11:38Oh, thank you. Thank you.
11:39My, my, I work for a lot of people, but I've never had a job that should drink champagne on.
11:45Well, the secretary, as charming as you, invites hospitality.
11:49Oh, thank you.
11:50Oh, thank you.
11:57Oh, it's delicious.
12:02Gee, when I saw you in the movies, I never dreamed that I'd be sitting here with you, drinking champagne and talking French.
12:08Eh, c'est la vie.
12:09Pardon?
12:10C'est la vie.
12:11Oh, um, hinky-dinky parley-vous.
12:15Oh, um, hinky-dinky parley-vous.
12:33I was thirsty.
12:37That sure beats a coffee break.
12:39Well, I am glad that you are enjoying yourself.
12:45Here.
12:46Mercy.
12:51You mean to say merci?
12:53No, I meant mercy. I know what this stuff can do to you.
13:00Touché.
13:01Oh, thank you. That's the first time anyone ever touché'd me.
13:09Do you know that you have a delightful sense of humor?
13:11Yes, I know.
13:14Eh, à votre santé.
13:17À votre santé.
13:19Eh, mademoiselle from Armatier.
13:35Good.
13:40That's very good.
13:46Oh, uh...
13:48Monsieur Dupré, I don't think I'd better have any more champagne.
13:52We do have work to do.
13:54Oh.
13:56Would you rather I dictate Mr. Mounez's letter before we have lunch?
14:00Yes.
14:01Yes, I think so.
14:02I believe I've wasted enough of your time.
14:05Oh.
14:08A fascinating woman is never a waste of time.
14:11Me? Fascinating? Oh, jeez.
14:13No, really, really. I find you very, very attractive.
14:17On the little bit you've had to drink?
14:22Lucy.
14:23What?
14:25You know something?
14:26What?
14:27You are such a delightful little pixie.
14:30Oh.
14:32You know, you know what I like about you?
14:34What?
14:35You sure know how to treat help.
14:43Oh, and I do dig these crazy fringe benefits.
14:47Well, we, we, uh, we better get started, uh, with our work.
14:54Oh, all right.
14:55All right.
14:56Whatever you're going to do.
15:01I, uh...
15:03I'm ready.
15:05Lucy, you mean stuff?
15:07Oh.
15:10I beg your pardon.
15:12Uh, let's see.
15:14Oh.
15:16Oh, my.
15:17I have really got...
15:18I got them.
15:20I've got the hiccups.
15:21Oh, I'm terribly embarrassed.
15:23Oh, but I, I know how to get rid of them.
15:25Uh, let's see now.
15:26They said take 10, 15 swallows of, uh, of something and hold your nose.
15:31Yeah, that was it.
15:44Right?
15:45Here.
15:46Oh, my God.
15:48Ahem.
15:49Oh.
15:50There.
15:52That ought to do it.
15:53Where are you?
15:54Here, here, here, here, here, here.
15:57Oh, yes.
15:59Oh.
16:01Oh, yes.
16:03Oh.
16:05You, uh, you feel better?
16:06No.
16:08I don't know.
16:09You feel better?
16:14I feel fine.
16:16Good.
16:17All right.
16:18Let's get on with the dictation, huh?
16:20All righty.
16:28All right.
16:29Address the letter to your boss.
16:36Dear sir.
16:39The following...
16:41No.
16:42The following is a letter of agreement...
16:44Monsieur Dupré?
16:45Yes?
16:46Did you say,
16:48Address this letter to my boss?
16:50Yes.
16:52What's his name?
16:57Mr. Mooney.
17:00That's right.
17:02That's right.
17:04How can you remember that with all I've had to drink?
17:08I've had to drink.
17:12All right.
17:13The following is a letter of agreement between the Dupré production company and...
17:18I don't know what's the matter. I can't believe this.
17:22What is it?
17:24This has never happened before.
17:26My ballpoint pen has never failed me before.
17:32You've got it upside down.
17:38So I have.
17:43There.

18:18I assure you I'm doing my job
18:21I am a very commentary secretant
18:24Yeah, of course, of course you are
18:29But if you are going to try to take dictation
18:32I think better you should have some black coffee
18:34I don't need any black coffee

21:17Mooney

22:04I'll be waiting for you
22:07Now you see what you've done?
22:11Well, you didn't give me a chance to explain
22:13The only thing I will give you
22:15Is a little pink slip
22:16To go with your little pink eyes
22:19What do you mean by that?
22:20You are fired
22:21Oh, Mr. Mooney
22:23Now you start cleaning on your desk

22:41I should have gotten out of here a long time ago
22:44You'll have to ask me twice
22:46I can get along without you, you know
22:49I'll collect my unemployment insurance
22:52It'll be the first time I got a raise in two years
22:58Oh, Mr. Dupre
23:06I was worried about you after you jumped ship
23:10Yes, we have a little unfinished business, haven't we?
23:17Oh
23:19Yes
23:20Here's the letter
23:23Oh, that letter
23:25I've ever come across in my life
23:29Think of enslaving my fingers to the phone
23:32And an unattain
23:36Do not expect a letter of reference
23:38Just pack up and go
23:41Oh, Mr. Dupre
23:44Oh, Mr. Dupre

23:55Well, Mr. Dupre, I am delighted
24:00Sir, how would you like to have lunch with Mr. Mooney and me?
