Miss Martin, meet up with Mr. Jones.
:02:10
Go on.
:02:13
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is my privilege to officiate...

:02:16
...at another one of Dawnland's
weekly happy events.

:02:20
Through the courtesy
of the Dawnland Ballroom...

:02:22
...many a young couple has embarked
successfully on the sea of matrimony.

:02:26
- Johnny.
- Yes, sir?

:02:27
There's a guy been here
looking for your partner.

:02:34
- Where is he?
- He said he'd be back.

:02:36
You better scrape up some dough,
or he'll take your pal's suit.

:02:39
- Yeah?
- Better put on your number...

:02:41
...before he shows up again,
or it might turn into a striptease.

:02:45
Yes, sir.
:02:50
- Now, look, King...
- Wait, Johnny. Let me speak.

:02:53
I had a chance to get rid of a girl,
so I saw her off on the train.

:02:56
Yeah? It was your turn
to call for the bride.

:02:59
This is the third time
I've covered for you.

:03:01
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'll take the next three.

:03:03
- Who do you love?
- You, you silly... Go on. What a guy.

:03:09
And we came to New York
to get on Broadway.

:03:11
- At least we're in the right town.
- Yeah, but who knows it except us?

:03:16
Just a couple of taxi dancers, pushing
around a lot of female lonely-hearts...

:03:20
...at 5 cents a dance.
And doing a specialty act...

:03:23
...without pay. What a career.
- You don't feel like going on, do you?

:03:29
Oh, sure. I can hardly wait.
:03:31
If there's anything I enjoy,
it's doing a specialty for no dough.

:03:35
And all those agents you keep telling
me about being in to see us.

:03:39
I suppose they'll all be out there.
Agents love to come to a dump like this.

:03:44
They expect to find so much.
:03:47
All right,
suppose we don't go on tonight?

:03:51
Yeah. You're getting more and more
discouraged all the time.

:03:54
You're letting the act down,
and that's no good, King.

:03:57
Say, listen, we may never get anywhere,
but if we don't think so...
