Cathy Gray: [Sue is helping Cathy get ready]
Pull it tighter Sue, pull it tighter, I want a waist like Anna Held.
Sue Allen:
If I pull it any tighter you're not going to be able to breath.
Cathy Gray:
Oh that's alright, I don't need much breath anyway, as my late friend Matty used to say, if a girl don't watch her figure the men won't.
Sue Allen:
Matty? Wasn't that the man you were going to marry?
Cathy Gray: [giggling]
Yes but he hung himself instead. Oh Matty was such a card.
Sue Allen:
Well where's your new friend going to take you tonight?
Cathy Gray:
To the Hauffman House for dinner, then to Tony Pastors for the vaudeville show.
Sue Allen:
That sounds like fun.
Cathy Gray: [stops and breathes in slowly]
Oh yeah he's a free spender alright, a little bit older than I like them, but awfully distinguished looking, I'm moving up, I'm moving up honey, no girl ever hits the jackpot till after she passes 14th street.
