Cathy Gray:
[Sue is helping Cathy with her corset]
Pull it tighter Sue. Pull it tighter! I want a waist like Anna Held's.
Sue Allen:
If I pull it any tighter you're not going to be able to breathe.
Cathy Gray:
Oh. 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:
Yes, but he hung himself instead.
[giggling]
Cathy Gray:
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 Pastor's for the vaudeville show.
Sue Allen:
That sounds like fun.
Cathy Gray:
Oh, yeah he's a free spender, alright. A little bit older than I like them; but, awfully distinguished looking.
Cathy Gray:
Is he nice?
Sue Allen:
Oh, awfully nice. A real gentleman. Except, when he's had a couple of drinks in him. That's to be expected. I'm moving up!
[stops and breathes in slowly]
Sue Allen:
I'm moving up in the world, honey. No girl ever hits the jackpot till after she passes 14th street.
