A suite Oh, yes, yes It's a lovely suite Jack, let me show you the different rooms This is the dinette Gee And look at the size of this clothes closet What's that door over there? Mary, in the same room Jack, you've been stopping at the Acme Plaza too long Well, Mary, if I must say so much... Find me, Miss Livingston Yes? I made the beds, vacuumed the rug, and emptied the waste paper basket Is there anything else? No, thank you Oh, hello, Mr. Benny Hello, Mrs. Brodery I'll be in again in the morning, Miss Livingston Goodbye Jack, you know the chamber maid? She lives at my hotel Gee, Mary, I can't get over this suite of rooms What are all those buttons on the wall? The first four radio stations here in New York What's the fifth button? Well, downstairs in the dining room, they have continuous music And if you press that button, you can hear it right in the room They have a wonderful orchestra Gee, I just can't get over it You know, at the Acme Plaza, my room only has one button What's it for? I think it's for the heat Once I pressed it, and the bellboy brought me a bucket of coal But Mary, your room is really amazing You mean, if I push that button, you'll get music from the dining room? Yes, go ahead, try it Okay And now, our next selection will be pizzicato from the Sylvia Ballet Come on, Mary Mary, this hotel really has everything I just can't get over What's that? What's that? What's that? I've got that in the same room too. Phil, I'd have called you sooner, but I had a hard time finding the phone without a dial. Ask you, why do you always use a phone without a dial? Them operators love to hear my voice. Your voice does something to me too, but, fortunately, I have some tums with me. That'll be better. I can't get nowhere with you. Hello, Phil. What do you want? Well, Jackson, I know you're busy, but there's something I gotta talk to you about. What is it? Well, the guy who plays the harp with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra is begging me to take him to Hollywood and let him join my band. Phil? Phil, you say that the harp player of the Philharmonic Orchestra wants to join your band? That's right. Well, for heaven's sake, take him. Take him. Well, I don't know, Jackson. I gotta think it over. Think it over? What are you hesitating about? If he's with the symphony, he must be a great harpist. Well, that's what worries me. What? Any guy who can move his fingers that fast would be murdered in a poker game. I haven't say so. What's more important, a poker game or good music? Jackson, there are moments when ace is back-to-back or better than Beethoven's Bach. Phil, you don't even know who Bach is. He's the fella that makes all that beer. I gotta go over to do my television show, so good bye. All right, good bye. Oh, wait a minute, Jackson. Now what? Hey, did you hear about me winning that golf tournament at Pebble Beach? Yeah, it was marvelous. You shot a 76. How in the world do you think that 40-foot putt? When I got to the green, I switched to a pool cue. Good, good. Goodbye, Phil. Well done, Jackson. Mary, never see anybody like Phil. Here he's got a chance to get a great musician. He can't make up his mind what... Are you expecting anybody? No. Hello, sis. What are you here for, mother? Mother? Close the door, close the door. Dennis, what is this sis and mother business? To fool the house detective. Kiss me, toots. Oh, you're here. What makes you think a hotel detective would follow a silly kid like you? Well, he did. He did not. Oh, that's him now. Don't let him take me. Hide me, hide me. He'll send me up the river. I'm too young to die. Dennis. Oh, officer, what did he do? He left his bicycle in the revolving door. Well, officer, he won't be up here long. In fact, with that window open, he may beat you down. Good. Now, Dennis, why don't you be a good boy and go? Okay, but first I... Hey, what are those buttons on the wall? Well, push the last one, Dennis, and you'll see. All right. Gee, music comes out. Yeah. Say, I know that song. You do? Yeah, listen. Oh, I'm afraid to go. Maybe the hotel detective is still in the hall. Now, stop being silly. Oh, please, Mr. Benny. Step out in the hall and see if he's there, huh? Dennis. Jack, humor him. Oh, all right. There's nobody out here. Oh, that settles it. I'm through with James. Yes. Why did you... Goodbye. Goodbye, goodbye. What a crazy kid. Say, Mary, if we want to have dinner before my television show, we better go now. Okay, I'll get my coat. While you do that, I better call Rochester to the theater and see if everything is ready. You got to find out if everything is going along all right. Yeah. You can hardly get any... Well, isn't that nice? A lot of them, huh? Boss, there's so many flowers here for you. It's good to hear your voice again. Gee, who are they from? Where am I? Fred Allen. He sent me a bouquet? Yeah, and he left a card with it. I'll read it to you. Yeah, let me hear it. Dude, Jack from Fred. We're on radio. You're bad, but I came from College Magazine. He said they were going to do a story about you, and he asked me some questions. What did he ask you? Well, first he wanted to know your approximate salary. Uh-huh. Then he wanted to know how long you've been making it. Uh-huh. Then he got to the question that for years has been a burning issue in the public mind. What question? Could you possibly be as cheap in person as you are on the radio? Uh-huh. When he hit me with that one, I had to think fast. What did you tell him? I told him you were such a lavish spender you was known from coast to coast as Diamond Jim Benny. Oh, good, good. Then I told him you threw your money away like you were allergic to green ink. And a boy, Rochester. And I just about had him convinced when in walked the man. What man? The man you rent your other twin bed to. Oh, my goodness. Of all the times for him to come in. Well, Rochester, do you think the man from Collier's will write a good article about me? Oh, I think so, boss. He even wanted a picture of you. So I gave him the one of you shaking hands with the king of England. Oh, swell. Good, good. But the picture was too big so they had to cut it down a little. Gee, I hope they didn't cut out the king. Oh, his majesty's all right, but your hand looks like it's coming out of a wall. Well, goodbye. I'll see you at the studio. Good. You know, Mary, I can't get over what a nice hotel this is. You know, you get such a beautiful view from way up here. Yeah. Hurry. There's the elevator. Please. Watch your step, Mary. In lobby. Come on, Jack. You'll have to wait a minute. He blacked out again. I did not. I'm waiting for my hair. I'm just around the corner. We can walk. Okay. Gee, there sure are a lot of people in here. Yeah. Maybe you should have called for a reservation. I didn't think of it. Well, maybe you could get a table if you gave the head waiter a tip. Well. Give him $5. Mary, you're cute. You wait here. I'll go talk to the head waiter. Excuse me. Oui, monsieur? I'm in a hurry. I'd like a table for two. Oh, I'm sorry, monsieur, but all the tables they are taking. Oh. Well, look, I'm in a hurry. I've got to do a television show tonight. I am terribly sorry, monsieur, but I am sure if you would like to wait, it will not be too long. Hmm. Well, Captain, come here a minute. Oui. Up to near moi un tableau. And je vous récompensez. I do not understand. Why not? You're French, aren't you? No, I'm from Brooklyn. I put this on for the robes. Look, I've got to have... I am so sorry, monsieur, there are no tables. No, let's go to some other... Hey, Mary, look who's sitting over there. Where? In the corner. It's Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and he's all by himself. I'll ask him if we can sit with him. But Jack, if he's eating by himself, maybe he prefers to be alone. Don't be silly, Mary. He'd be glad to have company. Come on, let's...let me do the talking. Hey, Mary, what a surprise. Look who's here. Huh? Oh, hello, Jack. Hello, Mary. Well, if it isn't Douglas Fairbanks Jr. You know, Jack, this is a funny place. You say, well, if it isn't Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and everybody in the restaurant appauses. This is quite a surprise running into you. What are you doing here in New York? Oh, I'm here to see some shows. Guys and dolls call me Madam. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of investing in one of the new ones. Well, isn't that a coincidence? I've got some money invested in South Pacific. No, you lucky fellow. How much money have you got in it? Oh, it's not much. Really not worth talking about. No, I'm interested, Jack, really. How much have you got invested in South Pacific? $8.80. That was for the tickets. Tickets? So much just to see it? We're sorry we interrupted you. No, no, Mary, look, Doc, we're in a spot. You see, all the tables are taken and we're in a hurry. Would you mind if we joined you? How can he say no? You're already eating his rolls. There's enough for both of us. Sure, sure. Come on, sit down. Here, I'll make room for you, Mary, here. Thank you. Now, Jack, I'll move over so you can... Oh, just sit still, Doug. You need to move for me. I'll squeeze right in here. I'm sorry, Doug. I knocked over the pitcher and spilled the water on you. Oh, that's all right. I was expecting it. Oh, well, here, Doug, let me hand you my napkin so you can... Whoops! You knocked over the catcher bottle. Some splashed on your coat there. You know, Jack, I've been sitting here eating for 30 minutes. You've been in here 10 seconds and you've got more on me than I've got in me. I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to... Doug, why are you smearing the mustard on your sleeve? Well, you're in a hurry. I thought I'd save you the trouble. May I take you all to Menzel? Yes. He meant me. Oh, oh. I'll just have a club sandwich and a cup of coffee. Yes, ma'am. I don't know what to have. What's that you're eating, Doug? It looks delicious. Oh, it's... This is something my mother always used to make for me. It's my favorite dish. What is it? Montsebleau soup. I'll have a club sandwich, too. And coffee. Very good, Michelle. By the way, Doug, I saw your latest picture, the great manhunt, and certainly an exciting mystery. Oh, thank you, Mary. You made that picture over in England, didn't you, Doug? Yeah. You can tell because the scenes in the English slums were so realistic. You must have searched all over London to find such a run-down place. Well, you know, as a matter of fact, that was the only scene that was shot here. Me here in New York? Yeah. At a place called the Acme Plaza. That's a coincidence. Jack, shut up! What's wrong? Uh, nothing, nothing. You're eating. Say, Jack, what are you doing here in New York anyway? Well, I'm here for a television show. I'm going right down to the studio from here. I think it's going to be good, too. I'm having John L. C. Savoni and two special guest stars, Frank Sinatra and Fay Emerson. Well, that sounds exciting. You brought your entire radio cast to New York, too, didn't you? Yes, I did. How'd you know? Well, I ran into Phil Harris at the store club. You did? Well, if I know Phil, he had his foot up on the rails. No, as a matter of fact, he had his head there. Well, as long as he was comfortable. Here comes our food, Jack. Oh, yes. Gee, that sandwich was good. Yeah. Hey, look what time it is. I'd better get the check. Waiter! Waiter, our check! Waiter! Waiter! Jack, he sees you. Get off the table. I'm sorry. I'm in such a hurry. I don't know what I'm doing, you know? Excuse me for interrupting, but I happen to have a snap. Shout of you, Mr. Benny. Would you mind autographing it? Oh, I'd be happy to. There you are, Jack Benny. Thank you very much. It was nice meeting you. Oh, wait a minute, lady. This is Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Don't you want his autograph? No. But 30 years ago, I would have. Gee, look, Doug, I've got to run over to the studio for my show. Perhaps we can have lunch sometime while I'm in... Here is the check, gentlemen. Oh, thank you, Pierre. No, no, Doug, let me take it. After all, it was your table, and Mary and I barged in. So I insist on paying it. No, no, Jack. I'd feel better if I paid it. Well, if your health is involved, well, I've got to run along. Gee, my hands are kind of sticky. Where's my napkin? Oh, here it is. Oh, I can't pull it up. What's the matter with this napkin? You've got my shirt tail. Oh, well, here, I'm through with it. Well, so long, Doug. Goodbye, Jack. Uh, oh, Pierre. Yes, Michelle, for banks? You have a television set here. We, Michelle, there's one in Ibar. Well, have them tune in to CBS immediately so I can see Jack Benny's television show, will you? Oh, Michelle, are you a big fan of Jack Benny? No, but that's Faye Emerson. Wow. Gee, yeah, if I didn't have to work, I'd go with you. Happy, go lucky. Happy, go lucky. Happy, go lucky.
