JenniferI already belong to a union. It's a quasi-religious group called the International Sisterhood of Blond Receptionists. There are only twelve members in the world. We meet once every two years in Switzerland. If I told you our minimum salary you'd have a heart attack and die. Bye.
Morning, Jennifer.
JenniferMorning, Herb.

Messages?

Mail?

Okay, how about lunch?
JenniferNo lunch either.

Oh, yeah.
[Jennifer's radio is playing gentle classical music]
Hey, is that us?
JenniferNo, this is us. [changes stations]
Hang onto your brains, fellow babies, this is Doctor Johnny Fever and have I got a contest for you! First prize is, you don't have to die! Second prize, a pocket comb!
Who's she?
JenniferBailey Quarters.
She work here?
JenniferUh-huh.
I like her.
JenniferI know. You say that every time you meet her.
I do?
Boy, where have you been?
JenniferOut with other men, Herb... letting them have their way with me.
Jennifer, if you don't mind, I think I'm gonna cry.
JenniferBailey, women who want to be broadcast producers do not cry in public.
Then I'll cry in my car on the way home.
JenniferThat's the way men do it.
JenniferMr. Carlson, I have to go to lunch now.
O-Okay, fine.
Uh, Jennifer. Who answers the phone when you're at lunch?
JenniferUsually I just leave it off the hook.
You think that's wise?
JenniferI don't know. It was Mr. Carlson's idea.
What's he like on a date?
JenniferVery gallant. Later he took me to this intimate little place. I had a martini, and Les had a hot chocolate. Then he took me home.
Oh. Did he come up to your apartment?
JenniferOh, I invited him. But on the way up the stairs his knees sort of gave out. But he took a rain check.
JenniferLes. Never in my life has someone broken a date with me.
I heard that.
JenniferMr. Carlson.
What?
JenniferYou're being childish about this.
I am not. Boy, is this gonna make my momma mad.
Commission City! Open your pearly gates to Herb Tarlek and say...
Jennifer[Suddenly opening the door] There's a dead man in the lobby!
[Singing] Hey! You're young and swingin'
No time to think about tomorrow
But there any no way to deny it
Some day, you're gonna buy it
Plan today for a Ferryman tomorrow!
I see you've met Little Arthur.
Yeah, he's somewhat of a ... a...
JenniferA Nazi.
JenniferMr. Carlson isn't even mentioned (in the polls).
Perfect! If people don't know you, they won't dislke you. If you show yourself too much then you come off looking like a jerk. At least that's been my experience."
Well, let's hear it.
Well, we were all right here, just as we are now, discussing this new show with Sparky, except you didn't look like yourself, Mr. Carlson. You looked more like a large... muffin.
JenniferMuffin?
Yes, a nice breakfast muffin. And you said that you had an exciting announcement.
Well?
Well, you sang it. [Singing] "I'm a big fat muffin that loves to eat, a big fat muffin that has no feet. But most of all, I'm a big fat muffin that loves to explode." And then you did.
