That's just like searching for the Golden Fleece. You don't understand, mister. I just come back from overseas. My wife and I are living in a basement or a storage room. You live in a basement? Sure. You see, I'm getting out of the army in a week and I have to have my old job waiting for me here in town. Oh, I'm sorry, Sergeant. Mister, my wife is going to have a baby. Kid. Yeah, she'll be going to the hospital any day now. I just got to find a place for her.

Oh, boy, my wife's.

[Finnegan]

Finnegan, you're wonderful. Oh, here comes Long fellow Larson, the janitor.

[Ryan]

Hey. Hey, Larson, where are you going with that bucket of water? Nowhere. Then stop carrying it around. Well, I like the sound it makes. It's just like being on a boat. Larson, have you ever done any painting? Painting? Uh huh. Well, yeah. Years ago. I used to paint my little brother's throat. That's not the kind of painting I mean. It was a big job. He would open his mouth and have a calcium ion with iodine.

[Finnegan]

Did you have to decorate his interior very often, Larson?

[Ryan]

Yeah, sure. The doctor said his gullet was streptococci. Look, can't you do anything with a brush? Well, I can clean my teeth or my shoes. It depends on what's on the brush. I mean a paintbrush. Well, my cousin Ole was a painter. He was a Norwegian and a terrible drinker. He never met the train when his met his wife at the train when she came home from her vacation.

[Finnegan]

Oh, why not?

[Ryan]

Well, it was a case of north is north and south is south and never the train shall meet. Well, Larsen, I hate to ask you to do it, but you're going to have to redecorate Mrs. Walker's apartment today. I'll pay for it. Can you do it just the same as it was? Well, all right, boss. I go down to the paint store and get the shop.

[Finnegan]

I'm afraid to think what Mrs. Walker's place will look like when Larsen gets through decorating it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, what if it looked like his brother saw its roast?

[Finnegan]

Chep to cockeye. Hey, guys, somebody ought to give Larson a few pointers on painting.

[Ryan]

Say, Dr. Quimby might know something about interior decorating.

[Finnegan]

That pony psychology. Mm. What does he know?

[Ryan]

Well, I'm going up to see him. Thanks. And he. He might be able to help me.

[Finnegan]

Okay, but you better leave your watch and money with me. Hello, Uncle Penny. Hello, Miss Stanchion. Hello, Bunny.

Well, let's get to my problem. I've got to find out how to decorate an apartment. Oh, one of my patients decorated all the fashionable bars in the city. Yes, he really painted the town red. Well, what did you treat this patient for, Doctor? Oh, he suffered from stiffening in the joints. He was stiff in every joint in town. But now back to your troubles in again. Do you happen to have a buck on your person? A buck? For a book? Why, yes. Yes, I have a. A dollar here someplace. I thank you. Thank you. And here is a copy of my book on interior decorations. Happy hours with paintbrush and paper and four walls in your little gray home in the West. Will this book tell me how to decorate? Absolutely. Well, now, Thanks a lot, Dr. Quimby. Happy carcass to you, Jo. I hope this book helps. Oh, hello, Bunny. Are the sergeant and his wife here in Mrs. Sloan's apartment?

[Finnegan]

Hello?

[Ryan]

Oh, get. Get. Get me. Get me Dr. Quimby.

[Finnegan]

Well, say you can control yourself.

[Ryan]

[Finnegan]

Say, Mrs. Sloan just phoned from the railroad station.

[Ryan]

Mrs. Sloan? But she's gone out of town.

[Finnegan]

Oh, no, she hasn't.

[Ryan]

She hasn't.

[Finnegan]

She put Wilford on the train and she's coming back to the apartment. She'll be here in an hour.

[Ryan]

Oh, my gosh, Francion, she can't. Mrs. Sargent show is having a baby in her apartment. Francient, can you do something?

[Finnegan]

I can send up a box of cigars.

Okay, I'll ring him.

[Ryan]

Hello, Dr. Quimby? Bigging. Are you a baby doctor? Don't be silly, Finnegan. I'm 48 years old.

[Finnegan]

Oh.

[Ryan]

[Finnegan]

I know.

[Ryan]

We've got to get a doctor over here to take care of Mrs. Shaw. Maybe we better get two doctors.

[Finnegan]

Two doctors?

[Ryan]

Yes. When Mrs. Sloan finds out what's going on in her apartment, I'll need a doctor to take care of me.

Exaggerate. I'll bet your wife is glad that you're going to have it.

[Ryan]

My wife? I'm not married.

[Finnegan]

Well, I'm afraid you call the wrong number. This is the Stork Club. Mr. Storks don't deliver babies.

[Ryan]

Since when? Look, try another stork. I mean another Dr. Banks. And try that lady down the street. That lady doctor.

[Finnegan]

Oh, I tried her. She can't come.

[Finnegan]

Hello.

[Ryan]

Oh, hello, Ms. Vanessa Samson.

[Finnegan]

How are you, darling? Are your eyelashes getting long or is that a new hairdo? Jesse, dear, you look lovely, too. I've admired that dress you're wearing so much. Oh, you really like it on me? Mm. You fill it out so much better than your mother did.

[Ryan]

Now come, girls. This is no time to shower compliments on each other. I'm worried. Why, Finnegan, what's the matter, Ms. Vanessa? A girl staying in Mrs. Sloan's apartment is going to have a baby any minute and we can't get a doctor.

[Finnegan]

Why didn't you say so? I'll go right up in the hill. Can't say you have. Why, certainly. Did you see? No. Chorus girls know a little bit about a lot of things.

[Ryan]

Well, my dear, I never knew this side of you before, Mr. Vanessa.

[Finnegan]

There's another side of me too, Finnigan.

I wonder what it could be.

[Finnegan]

Well, you suffered. All fathers do.

[Ryan]

He is wonderful. Nothing matters now. I'm a father. But see, Mr. Finnegan, Mr. Sloan's apartment is kind of upset. That completes my day. What's wrong, Mr. Finnegan? Oh, nothing. Not a thing again. Except that Mrs. Walker's apartment is a bit upset too. Larson tried to decorate it, and now it's in worse shape than ever. When Mrs. Sloan gets back, I lose my job, that's all. Ms. Vanessa said I shouldn't come back for three or four hours. Maybe I could. No, no. There's nothing you can do. You just run along. I'll just sit here and chew my big fat mouth until Mrs. Sloan comes back.

[Finnegan]

Well, you can stop chewing. Here she comes now. Hello, Saxon. Finnegan.

Two hours? It seems like two years division.

[Finnegan]

Your acting scene might be suspicious. What have you been up to?

[Ryan]

Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.

[Finnegan]

Why, you seem as nervous as an expectant father. Father?

[Ryan]

Oh, that's so silly.

[Finnegan]

[Ryan]

Fine. Mrs. Sloan. I'll see you. Oh, Mrs. Sloane, wait.

[Finnegan]

Yes, Finnegan?

[Ryan]

That. That dress you're wearing is beautiful. Mrs. Sloan, I think it would be foolish to change. Matter of fact, you look so. So young and nice. Would you like to have dinner? With me and Bunny?

[Finnegan]

Why, that is. Oh, that'd be delightful. Oh, but first I'd like to go up and powder my nose.

[Ryan]

Oh, I have some powder in my place. Ant powder.

[Finnegan]

What?

[Ryan]

My ant powder, I said.

[Finnegan]

Oh, well, all right, I'll come. But I can't stay long. This is such a wonderful dinner, Bunny. Oh, dear, I feel so full. I'm glad you like it, Mrs. Thrones. Wouldn't you like your for Selby? Oh, no. No, thank you. I really must go now.

Oh, but you've hardly had a thing. Here, have a few more peas.

[Finnegan]

Well, really, I couldn't. I've already had 35.

[Ryan]

36. One rolled off your knife, remember?

[Finnegan]

Well, you're both very sweet, but I.

[Ryan]

Have another cup of coffee, Mrs. Sloan.

[Finnegan]

Have a cigar, you funny boy. But I will have another cup of coffee.

[Ryan]

Oh, that's fine. I'll pour it.

[Finnegan]

Sa. My goodness, look at the time. Why, I've been here five hours.

[Ryan]

Have another cup of coffee, Mrs. Sloane.

[Finnegan]

No, no. This time I must drag myself away. Hello. Here, she's here. It's for you, Mrs. Sloan.

[Ryan]

Oh, wouldn't you like me to answer it for you?

[Finnegan]

No, no, I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself, thank you. Hello? Oh, Mrs. Walker.

[Ryan]

Oh, Mrs. Walker.

[Finnegan]

Decorating.

[Ryan]

Have another cup of coffee, Mrs. Sloane.

[Finnegan]

You were at your apartment this afternoon, and it looked like a white clone ticket.

[Ryan]

Have you ever seen my stamp collection, Mrs. Sloan?

[Finnegan]

Did you say your apartment was in such a mess you wouldn't live in it? You're going to live with your son in Pomona.

[Ryan]

Shall I turn on the radio, Mrs. Sloan? We could dance when I'm straight.

[Finnegan]

Hurry to lose you, Mrs. Walker. Goodbye, Finnegan.

[Ryan]

Shall we go up to Mrs. Walker's apartment, Mrs. Sloane?

[Finnegan]

Exactly what I was going to suggest. And if what Mrs. Walker says is true, I'm afraid you will be looking for another job by the idea of trying to cover up things by having an interview. Oh, why, Finnegan, Why, this apartment of Mrs. Walker's, it's gorgeous. It's the most wonderful decorating job I've seen in ages. My, what a surprise. I didn't expect to see anything like this.

[Ryan]

I didn't either.

[Finnegan]

Oh, now, come. Don't be model, Finnegan. I can't understand why Mrs. Walker said she'd never come back.

[Ryan]

Hello. Oh. Oh, hello, sarge. This is Mrs. Sloan, Sergeant Shaw.

[Finnegan]

How do you do? And what are you doing here?

[Ryan]

Oh, I just thought I'd hang the wallpaper for my friend, Mr. Finnegan. You see, I'm a decorator by trade. And Mr. Finnegan, let my wife. Sarge, that's very nice. Oh, but when you let us move into. Not another word, Sarge. Don't say another word.

[Finnegan]

Well, I simply can't get over this. It's so beautiful. I wish some changes were made in my apartment.

[Ryan]

They're probably being made right now.

[Finnegan]

Oh, what's that? As far as you saw of it in my apartment soon.

[Ryan]

Yes, I have. And how.

[Finnegan]

That's wonderful. I just can't wait to see it. Fin, will these surprises. Stuff.

[Ryan]

I wish I knew.

[Finnegan]

Well, let's go to my place. I'm just dying to see it. Well, the idea. My apartment hasn't been decorated at all. How did that baby get in here?

[Ryan]

Well, Mrs. Sloan, I thought you'd be gone till Monday, so I let the sergeant stay in your apartment. It's all my fault. No, it's all my fault. I should have known my wife would have her baby. I don't deserve a good job. Mrs. Sloan. As soon as I can get an ambulance, I'll move my wife and baby to the hospital.

[Finnegan]

Yes. I wish you'd have had my apartment decorated like Mrs. Walker's.

[Ryan]

Oh, Mrs. Sloan, you ought to throw me right out. Mrs. Sloan.

[Finnegan]

Good gracious. Finnegan, control yourself.

[Ryan]

Look, look, you like Mrs. Walker's apartment, and she's gone. Well, why not move up there and we'll rent this apartment to Sergeant Shaw?

[Finnegan]

I don't.

[Ryan]

Oh, please, Mrs. Sloan.

[Finnegan]

All right, I'll do it.

[Ryan]

Oh, gosh. Thanks, Mrs. Sloan. You're a pe. You're swell. Mrs. Sloan, do you. Do you like our new baby? Isn't he handsome?

[Finnegan]

These guys are cute, isn't he? Oh.

[Ryan]

Gee, he likes you a. He's trying to say thank you.

[Finnegan]

Tell him he's welcome at welcome Arms and perhaps you better take him into his mother now.

[Ryan]

Okay. It was sure nice of you, Mrs. Sloan. I mean, letting the sergeant have the apartment.

[Finnegan]

It was nice of me, wasn't it? But still, it would be better for the reputation of welcome Arms to have had Ms. Walker here. She's a blue blood.

[Ryan]

But, Mrs. Sloan, Sgt. Shaw is a real blue blood. He's wearing the Purple Heart.

[Finnegan]

Oh, well, yes. Yes, I guess you're right, Finnegan. Well, my. Sit down and pack my things.

[Ryan]

Oh, hello, Larson. Have us listening. You sure got out of that yam. It made me think of a poem. Well, how does it go, Larson? Mrs. Sloan so proud and poor. She's got the head like a croquet ball. Them guys who was fighting for you and me. Their blood wasn't blue, it was red by ye. Well, that's a spirit. Well, poem, Longfellow Larson. I'd just like to add these two lines. They've given a lot. Now, we must give these fellas a chance and a place to.

[Finnegan]

Sa.

[Ryan]

And now back to phone again. Finnegan.

[Finnegan]

I'll provide, Uncle Sammy. I'm sleepy.

[Ryan]
