right I'm being a small-time lawyer oh you are not small-time darling you're the best in the profession damning with St. Prey anyway that's the set up except the jeans through a show business that's to be expected huh well yes but but what do you see it's this way a year ago I cut an audition record for the distinguished cosmetic people nothing happened but today I got a phone call from Mr. Glenn Hall the account executive he did the sponsor had played the record again and liked it better he got probably the man hadn't even heard it till now you know how they all know what are you gonna do about it oh whatever Bill wants if he thinks I should turn it down I will you know how I feel about it of course it'd be such a big help right now financially I mean oh we spent more on our furniture than we should have even if I only took the job for 13 weeks it put us in the clear well we'll get caught up now you don't have to work but it isn't worth darling I love it and so don't you think it'd be smart of us to go right ahead and take the offer well I I refuse to put my chin out I've got a good solution though what you still have that phonograph I gave you still have some recordings of your voice well put one on and after we've heard it we'll let your handsome mate decide if the palpitating public is to be denied the pleasure of your golden voice should I go that's silly it wouldn't make any difference to me all right I'll do it good girl let me see which record here all right might make me the corn ball of all time but I like it hey your theme song I jean oh it is a beautiful song okay here it is despite bills and legends in difference the song did things to him and by the time the record was over he was he agreed to let Jean appear on the air for 13 weeks and a few weeks after the program started I bumped into Bill in a cocktail lounge alone the way I always am dear hey where's Jean ah rehearsing and you're waiting to pick her up yeah yeah I'll pick her up and drive her to the sponsor's place for a meeting and then I'll drive it at the agency office and then I'll drive it to the recording studio and then I'll drive her home you'd be in a tough spot if they took away your driver's license all braced up daddy 13 weeks isn't forever well no not forever finally got together but a month later that's not the one of Jean's broadcast we went to one of the better night spots and for a while it seemed like old-time how wonderful it is seeing you again not thanks two months hasn't changed you much I think the cigarette no thanks I gave him up you see I don't want to do anything as long as I'm on the air Bill how about you sure I'm just a lawyer I can enjoy life not with a clear conscience all but Jean feel like a little food now oh later I'm not hungry yet well don't tell me you've given up eating no eating doesn't affect the voice but oh I have a surprise for you both well my option has been picked up for another 13 weeks isn't that wonderful well isn't it yeah it is wonderful just wonder somewhere along the line Jean seemed to have forgotten her promise to put up the first bill didn't bother to bring it up he seemed resigned to his face one night soon after they invited me up for dinner this is a terrific dessert baby it should be he bought it with her own little hand oh you don't let Bill fool yourself he liked this toward much better than anything I would be well I didn't mean it the way sounded this was a pretty good meal all my favorite stuff fattening you for the kill hey maybe you've got something there Jean something on your little mind oh we'll discuss it later I'd rather discuss it now start talking well it's just that they're talking about taking the show to Hollywood for a few weeks nothing definite yet well they have sort of agreed it would be a good idea and it's set yeah well if you'll excuse me I left my head in the other room stick around so I want to witness Jean you're not going darling I said you're not
