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
Hope. — What was that?
Elvia. — Nothing ... I forgot to use my hand lotion tonight!
Goodwin. — Well, what’ll we do now? Shall we eat the sand¬ wiches here or take a long hike in the country ?
Elvia. — Oh, that sounds like jolly fun. I’d love to see the old picnic grounds. I haven’t seen them since I was a little girl.
Hope. — It’s too late for that, Cobina. They built Los Angeles there!
Blanche. — Say, wait a minute. Never mind that picnic stuff. Come on, J. Pierpont, let’s go to a movie !
Elvia. — Yeah, we ain’t never seen a talkie!
Hope. — No, let’s stay right here. I like it.
Blanche. — Listen, we gotta go out somewhere. The dean of women won’t let you boys stay here after 9 o’clock. Cobina, let’s put on our sailor hats.
Hope. — Sailor hats ? What are you — part of the navy ?
Blanche. — No, but we can dream, can’t we?
Elvia. — {Off . . . loud) It’s cold out, Brenda . . . You better wear your mackinaw!
Sound. — Knock on door.
Blanche. — Gee, that must be Professor Colonna — the dean of women !
Sound. — Very loud knock on door . . . then slight rip of splinter¬ ing wood.
Elvia. — Yeah, that’s the dean all right; I recognize his knuckles. Don’t come in, Dean — we’re getting dressed to go out!
Colonna. — {Of -mike) Why? ... Is the joint on fire?
Elvia. — No. We’ve got a date!
Colonna. — {Of -mike) What did you do? Call for volunteers?
Blanche. — Of course not! Wait till you see the boys who are visiting us ! Come on in !
Sound. — Door opens.
