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 Elvia. — Of course we have. Gee, what a kiss that last guy I was out with gave me ! Blanche. — Did he kiss you so hard ? Elvia. — Hard? ( Alum mouth) I talked like this for two days! Blanche.— Gee, I hope these boys are nice fellers. If your boy friend gets fresh, let me know and I’ll smash him right in the kisser ! Elvia. — Yeah, I’ll let you know . . . and smash you right back! Blanche. — Say, we better finish dressing right away, Cobina. What are you gonna wear ? Y our organdy creep de shiney or your liver pill schlemiel? Elvia. — Oh, I dunno. I wanna look good, but I wanna be ready to defend myself at the same time. Say, Brenda, have you seen my bottle of bay nun ? Blanche. — Don’t you remember? We used it last night in the Martinis! . . . Well, whaddya know, Cobina! I can’t find my false eyelashes ! Elvia. — I got them. I’m brushing off my coat! Blanche. — I wonder if they’re too long ? Should I cut them down to 3 inches ? Elvia. — I don’t know; but every time you wink your eye, you flag down the Super Chief ! Gee, Brenda, I have such trouble with my stockings. Tell me, are my seams crooked? Blanche. — On your legs, how else could they be? Elvia. — Say, shall I help you with your coiffure? Blanche. — Yeah. Do you think I got enough glue on my head now? Elvia. — Sure. Blanche. — Okay. Stick my hair on. And be careful. Last time you put it on sideways, and I had to leer at people all evening! Elvia. — Say, Brenda, how will I act when Goodie comes in ? Blanche. — Act like you did with your last boy friend ... if you can still remember! Gee, I wonder what my goon looks like? IQ7
