Hart
I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time. Can’t tell you how much I’d like to be along. But of course, business comes first.
Miss Rixey
Hello, Joe. Am I late?
Hart
After clearing his throat.
Miss Rixey, isn’t it?
Miss Rixey
Puzzled at this reception.
What?
Hart
Ah—they told me you were coming.
Miss Rixey
Coming right to him.
You knew damn well I was coming!
Hart
Still trying to cover up.
Did you bring those orchestrations?
Miss Rixey
Holding up a bundle which obviously contains two bottles of liquor.
You mean this?
Hart
Sunk by this time; grabs her by arm and rushes her into his office.
Ah—just step into my office and we’ll talk business.
