We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

BOB HOPE Goodwin. — Yes, Bob, your winter underwear always shows below your pants. Hope. — Well, can I help it if they come strapless now? Goodwin. — Gee, I wonder what’s holding these girls up ? Hope. — Yeah, and after they get here, I’ll bet we’ll still be wondering. Goodwin. — Say, Bob, supposing the girls don’t show up at all ? Shall we call those other two girls we know ? Hope. — I don’t know. What time do they get through at the laundry ? Goodwin. — Well, I don’t really know, now that Maisie is on mangles ! Hope. — Is Maisie on mangles now? Gee, isn’t it nice to know she’s getting ahead ! Goodwin. — Yeah. Say, you know I’m getting tired of always being stood up. Hope. — Yeah, it’s just like these women. I give them the best years of my life, spend all my money, and what have I got out of it . . . wallflower crouch! Goodwin. — Bob, look who’s coming! I think it’s Skinnay Ennis! Hope. — You think it’s Skinnay Ennis? Aren’t you sure? Goodwin. — Listen, Bob, with Skinnay, even he isn’t sure ! Ennis. — (i Coming in) Hiya, fellas! Well, well, so the two Romeos got stood up ! Goodwin. — It's a lie! Hope. — Yeah, it’s a lie! But how did you know? Ennis. — Man, I ought to know. I’m an expert on women. Hope. — Well, what about getting us a couple of girls for tonight ? Ennis. — Say, I know a couple of swell coeds over at the college. They’ll be just right for Bill and you. One’s tall, and the other’s stupid ! Hope. — But are you sure you can get a date for us with them ? 195
