00:00Hey, someone's at the door.
00:05Why don't you get it?
00:08Hi, Ellen!
00:09Well, darling, what happened? Did the school burn down?
00:12Not exactly.
00:13Well, come on in.
00:15What's all this?
00:16Oh, they're just practicing no-aid.
00:19Kids, this is maybe Sister Ellen.
00:21This is Googie.
00:22And, uh, this is Nancy.
00:24Oh, sorry.
00:26How do you do?
00:27Careful of the splinters.
00:28Come on, tell me, darling, what happened?
00:30Why don't you send me a wire?
00:31Well, so many things happened, and...
00:35You're in a jam.
00:37Sort of.
00:38A man?
00:40Not exactly.
00:41What do you mean, not exactly, or not exactly a man?
00:45Well, uh...
00:46Come on, tell me.
00:47Well, Kay, it's a long story.
00:50I took my class to the fair for a singing contest.
00:53It was raining.
00:54I came out of the tent to go across the street, and...
00:57When you what?
00:58Well, that's when I slipped and fell in the mud.
01:01Honest, Kay, that's the truth about the picture.
01:04What picture?
01:18That's a billy.
01:20How long did it take you to get that beautiful glow?
01:23What's so funny?
01:24We're only kidding, honey.
01:26You mean they took this picture without your consent?
01:30You didn't sign a release?
01:31Well, it's true, Kay.
01:32I didn't even know when the picture was being snapped.
01:35But that's why I came to New York,
01:37to demand a public retraction and apology.
01:39And then I'm going back to that...
01:41No release, and without your permission.
01:44Why, they can't do that to my baby sister?
01:47We'll sue them.
01:48Oh, no, Kay, I don't want to sue them.
01:50It probably isn't the fault of the magazine itself, anyway.
01:54Now, now, just relax, darling,
01:56and leave everything to me, huh?
02:00I think we've hit the jackpot.
