Newsstand girl: [uninterested] Awright.

Jimmy: Alright? Say listen, when I get news it's so hot they have to print it on asbestos.

Newsstand girl: Say, don't you ever stop patting yourself on the back?

Jimmy: Sure, when I'm sunburnt. Listen honey, how would you like to have dinner with the best reporter in town?

Newsstand girl: I'd love it. Where is he?

Jimmy: Well, you're looking right at him. Jimmy Hawley in person, not a picture.

Newsstand girl: Aw, you newsguys are all alike. Last time I had a date with one he left me flat while he was out chasin' police cars.

Jimmy: Oh, not me, honey. My day's work is done when I punch the clock. Now first I'll take you to dinner, then to a picture show. Whaddya say?

Newsstand girl: No.

Jimmy: Aw, come off. Can't ya see that nice thick, juicy steak smothered in onions and mushrooms, french fried potatoes, coffee, apple pie a la mode...

Newsstand girl: Ya got me boy. But the only reason I'm goin' is 'cause I'm hungry. When do we eat?

Jimmy: Right now. Get your hat.

Newsstand girl: Watch it for me, will ya Pearl? I got a supper.
