2.How To Succeed

FINCH:

How to apply for a job.

How to advance for the mail room.

How to sit down on a desk.

How to dictate memorandums.

How to develop executive style.

How to commute in a three bottom suit,

With that weary executive smile.

This book is all what I need.

How to... How to succeed...

How to observe personnel.

How to select to whom to lunch with

How to avoid petty friends.How to begin making contacts.

How to walk into a conference room with an idea

Bringing business idea,

That will make your expense account zoom.


How to...

How to succeed.

3.Happy To Keep His Dinner Warm

ROSEMARY:

New Rochelle, New Rochelle

That's the place where the mansion will be,

For me and the darling bright young man,

I picked out for marrying me.

He'll do well.

I can tell.

So it isn't a moment to soon

To plan on my life in New Rochelle,


2/29

The wife of my darling tycoon.

SMITTY:

Honey, you'll be a New Rochelle. Your darling tycoon will be here in the

office.

The future Mrs. Finch is in for some lonely nights.

ROSEMARY:

Smitty, I'm prepared for exactly that sort of thing...

I'll be so happy to keep his dinner warm.

While he goes on work... and not work.

Happy to keep his dinner warm

'Till he comes wearily home from down town.

I'll be there,

Waiting until his mind is clear,

While he looks through me,

Right through me.

Waiting to say

Good evening dear,

I'm pregnant

What's new with you,

From down town?

I ought to be loved, by a man

I respect,

To bask in a glow

Of his perfectly, understandable neglect.

I ought to belong in the aura on his frown,

Darling busy frown.

Such heaven!

Wearing the wifely uniform

While he goes on work,

And not work.

Happy to keep his dinner warm,

'Till he comes wearily home

From down town.

Doesn't have to be florescent.

I'll get no pains

In my head.

That office chair

Doesn't have to be foam rubber,

So if I spread, so I spread.

But only one chemical substance

Gets out the lead.

COMPANY:

Like she said?

If I can't take

My coffee break,

My coffee break,
