To Please a Lady

Mike Brannan: You figure on doing another column on me?

Regina Forbes: You're only worth a couple of lines now.

Mike Brannan: Well, don't write 'em! I've been risking my neck with this outfit.

Regina Forbes: I hope they pay you well.

Mike Brannan: A hundred bucks a show, and I've been saving every dime. I'm gonna drive with the big cars now, and what you wrote about me doesn't go with them. So I'm warning you. Lay off me in the future.

Regina Forbes: [Amused] You're warning me?

Mike Brannan: You better listen to what I'm saying, or I'll knock that smile off your face!

Regina Forbes: [She laughs at him] Knock it off.

[He slaps her]

Regina Forbes: That's just about what I expect from you.

Mike Brannan: The guys you run around with wouldn't do that, would they? Well, it's time somebody roughed you up a little! I can handle you, baby. You're just another dame to me!

[He grabs her suddenly, kisses her, and leaves for his car. She looks after him with a subtle smile indicating she enjoyed it]
