If you're so all-fired efficient
how come you're out here lookin' for a job?
I consider Sleeptite Pajamas a quality product, Mr. Hasler.
Something I'd be proud to be connected with.
You would, huh?
Well, might as well give you a trial.
I've tried the old ones, I might as well try the young ones.
Gladys!
It isn't easy, I'm warnin' you.
I'm not lookin' for an easy job.
- Seven and a half cents. - I beg your pardon?
Seven and a half cents. That's what they want now!
I know what's goin' on around here.
I've just written the board of directors.
It's absolutely unnecessary!
- Gladys. - Yes, Mr. Hasler?
This is Mr. Sorokin.
The new superintendent.
- Get him started. - Certainly.
Will you come this way?
[machines whirring]
Ms. Hotchkiss.
Well, Gladys, I suppose you're starting somethin' with him now.
Vernon, what are you talking about?
I saw you putting your hand on him. Always flirtin'.
Oh, you make me sick!
[machines whirring]
Get to work! I'm an executive.
I'm a time-study man.
I've got my stopwatch on you.
Can't waste time.

- Here's some tape. - Thanks.
- A Chicago guy. - He don't belong in this town.
"I'll fix it," he says. Ha-ha-ha!
Give him a chance, boys.
He's only been here two days.
- Sid? - Yeah? Pull me out.
- Mr. Hasler wants you. - Again?
Give me a screwdriver. I'm nearly done.
I'll tell him you're awful busy.
Thanks.
You know how much they're payin' up at the packin' plant?
- A dollar three up. - Screwdriver!
You know somethin' else?
They're payin' $1.14 up at the casket company.
My gosh! You'd be a sensation up at the casket company.
Maybe you could get a job up there as a tester
and just lie around in coffins all day long.
- Now hurry it up. - I'm hurrying.
- Well, hurry faster. - Hey.
- Hey, you can't do that to me. - I can't? I just did.
Well, I'll fix you!
I'm gettin' the grievance committee.
Go get them. It'll give you somethin' to do.
I don't have to take that stuff off nobody.
Go away, boy. You bother me.
I'll show you.
And on my weak arm too.
That grievance committee can start quite a rhubarb.
This whole town is a rhubarb.
- Oh, you'll get used to it. - I sure intend to.
Hey, you, go down to the storeroom
and get me a switch and a piece of cable.
Move!
Oh, Mr. Sorokin, I told you to be careful.
When I heard about you beatin' up that boy...
I didn't beat him up.
Well, he's dangling his arm like it hurt somethin' terrible.
- Here comes Babe Williams. - Be delighted to talk to him.
Alright, mister, here's Babe Williams.
So this is the committee?
That's right, Mr. Sorokin. This is the committee.
Charlie, this grievance committee is different.
- Never mind the snow job. - I'm sorry.
Alright, I shoved the kid. What's the next move?
- He says you hit him. - No, I just..
- Look, Ms. Wilson, I've got... - Her name is Ms. Williams...
- What's the difference? - I'm sorry, Ms. Williams.
Well, he ought to know the committee's right name.
Mae, will you take it easy?
Mr. Sorokin, I've got quite a few problems
of my own right now.
This helper says you socked him.
- He does? - Mm-hmm.
Let's say I shoved him. It sounds more refined.
You are not supposed to strike an employee.
We have rules about that.
For both sides, I hope.
Listen, Ms. Williams, I'll spread it on the table.
This young man needs vocational guidance.
He wants to be a bank president.
I don't see what all this has to do with it.
You don't seem to have made a very good impression
on the new superintendent.
He ain't got no right to shove me around
especially on my weak arm.
[alarm blaring]
Listen, Ms. Williams, I've gotta get this factory going.
- Can't we take this up later? - Of course we can, Mr. Sorokin.
That's in the rule book too.
Have the nurse check your arm and send me a report. Okay?
Can't shove me around. It was broke once already.
Thanks for your cooperation, Ms. Williams.
It's all in the rule book.
I must read that rule book sometime.
You certainly should.
All I have to say is, you're the cutest grievance committee
I've ever had to deal with.
- Oh, that's what I want. - What's goin' on now?
Come on, girls, let's pull together.
This is a crisis. The tops are 15 minutes behind the bottoms.
Can't waste time. Hurry up. Hurry up.

[women laughing]
I never know what to wear to a picnic.
If you got the style, it don't matter what you wear.
You elected me president. You gotta have confidence in me.
All I says is that we were wasting...
Oh, this ain't no time to be talkin' about
no ultimatums and no strikes.
Yeah, but that's seven and a half cents.
Wait a minute, there ain't no question
about we're gonna get that seven and a half cent raise.
Other companies are payin' it and we're entitled to it.
But we gotta be smart.
Wait till old Hasler's got so many orders in
he can't afford to shut the factory down.
Then we got him.
Hey, Babe, what about that helper yesterday?
He says the super socked him.
I didn't get no report on that.
Oh, Prez, that's one for the birds.
Why, he hasn't even got a bruise on his arm!
- No? - No.
The nurse says he's a faker.
Well, I guess, maybe that's right.
- Sure, he's a phony. - Okay.
Why, if that Sorokin guy had really hit him
he'd break him in two.
Mr. Sorokin is so strong!
He's so wonderful!
- What's this? - The new super.
I think he's simply woo woo! Don't you?
- Oh, I didn't notice. - I noticed.
I thought Babe was noticin' too.
- She lit up. - Oh!
You know, you girls are really...
Love comes at last to Babe Williams.
[indistinct chatter]
Will you get off it?
I hardly looked at the man.
I'm the grievance committee.
Love? Are you nuts?
Some people can't tell when it hits them.

Superintendent's office.
Come in!
Oh, yes, Sid.
Dolores Paradisso, that's her name.
Well, she's supposed to be very elegant.
She can sew a button on a fly
like she was pourin' tea for the Queen of England.
[chuckles] Oh, yeah. She can pull hair alright.
Them girls had another fight.
Wanna buy a ticket for the picnic?
Well, might as well get it over with.
One dollar and all the beer you can guzzle.
No beer for me.
Gives me heartburn. Somethin' awful.
- Yeah, me too. - Oh, you.
- Here. - Thanks.
You gonna do your knife-throwin' act this year, Mr. Hines?
Well, I suppose so. There always seems to be a demand for it.
Was you honest on the real stage?
That's where I first met him, Poopsie.
He was throwin' knives at a woman at the Majestic Theater.
It's going to be some picnic!
I saw you. Leaving him a note, huh?
- Carrying on with Sorokin. - Oh, Vernon!
I saw you put that note on his desk.
I'm not blind.
And that's why you wore that low-necked dress to work today.
You make me scream, Vernon!
- You just make me scream. - Okay, then what's in it?
I dare you to tell me what's in it.
Read it, then go cut your throat!
"Okay, payroll, $7502.01."
That means "I love you" in the Morse code!
Ain't you ashamed of yourself, Hinesie?
Now that we've got that all settled
do you think you could trust me as far as the ladies' room?
[alarm blaring]
I'll never be jealous again, Gladys. I promise.
Maybe I'll give you cause someday.

Memo, cutting foreman. Too many rejects on rayon crepe numbers.
What right has the union to run their
Pepsi-Cola machine with our electricity?
Well, what's this?
This book shouldn't be left lyin' around.
- Gladys! This book. - Yes?
Oh, Mr. Hasler, you scared the life out of me.
Look, it's alright. I've got the key around my neck.
I don't want it left lying around.
- Is that clear? - Yes, Mr. Hasler!
If I can't trust Gladys, who can I trust?
What was my book doing up here anyhow?
The old man's got a bad case of book-it is, hasn't he?
Yes!
I wonder if he's got
a skeleton locked in there.
Say, Mabel, tell me something.
What kind of a girl is this Babe Williams?
- Oh, she's peppy. - I can see that.
Full of life.
- Uh, give me Ladies Pants. - 'Yes, Mr. Sorokin... '
Is that you, Prez? Sorokin speaking.
Say, whatever happened to that complaint from the helper
I'm supposed to have socked? I'd like to get it settled.
Would you send the grievance committee up to my office?
[indistinct chatter on phone]
- No, right away. - 'Okay, Sid.'
Thanks.
I heard you had an eye for her.
You hear things easy around this place.
First thing you know they'll be talkin' about us.
Don't think it hasn't been mentioned.
Memo, head cutter.
[knock on door]
Come in! Have a seat.
Yes, Mr. Hasler, I'll be right there.
The last six lots went over the estimate.
Better check with your markers.
I wanted to talk to you about that assault and battery case.
Oh, well, we thought that we would forget
about that, Mr. Sorokin.
That's a relief.
The committee decided just to drop the matter.
Well, I wanted to get it straight.
For a while there, I thought that you and I'd
have to fight a duel.
Seems that won't be necessary.
As a matter of fact, we have been fighting a duel.
Every time I come on your floor I try to get you
to look at me, but I always lose. Never a look.
Perhaps I'm just very interested in my work.
Perhaps.
But as far as that helper is concerned
we know that you had provocation.
If you only knew what I had to go through to get him
to kick across with a screwdriver.
I'd have been justified if I had socked him.
Well, we won't go into that.
But anyhow, we have it down in our books as a slight nudge.
Personally, I think a little physical punishment
is good for people once in a while.
Oh, you do, Captain Bligh?
[chuckles] No, not exactly.
Sit down for a second, will you, Ms. Williams?
I wanna talk to you.
- How about a date? - What?
How about goin" out to dinner some night?
Well, I-I don't know, I...
Maybe check up on some of the local hot spots?
Uh, thank you very much, Mr. Sorokin
but I don't think so.
What is this strange power I have over women?
But it wouldn't work, not at all.
Looks like I struck out that time.
I-it's nothing personal.
But you see, you're the superintendent
and I'm the grievance committee.

- What a day, eh, Prez? - Yeah, solid gold.
I love these picnics.
Always come back from the road for them.
Say, on this last trip
I sold a lot of Sleeptite pajamas, believe me.
Oh, you did, eh?
I knocked them for a loop
in Masalon Chilicarty
Van Worth and Napoleon.
[indistinct chatter]
Well, I'll have to make an announcement
that there ain't gonna be enough baked beans to go around
but there's plenty of potato salad.
So them that don't care for beans
can go heavy on the salad and vice versa.
I can never remember a time
when competition was so ruthless
dealers so cantankerous
costs outrageous
and profit margins sunk so low.
My good friends, pajamas are at the crossroads.
[crowd cheering]
[cheering]
Well, if it isn't the grievance committee.
- Should've run faster. - I have a grievance.
There's a new fella here named Sid Sorokin.
Been knocking himself out to be a dandy fellow
but he can't make a score.
Well, you just tell Mr. Sorokin that, um
Ms. Williams is a very cold, hard-boiled doll.
He wouldn't like her at all, if he got to know her.
(Poopsie) 'This way for the knife throwing.'
Oh, there's the knife throwing. This I gotta see.
This way for the great knife-throwing exhibition!
- What happened to you? - Stay out in the open, honey.
- Don't get down in them woods. - Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Make way for the old professor.
Let me place my knives.
Hurry, hurry, hurry for a riot of thrills.
Introducing Professor Vernon Hines
master of the flying blades.
[cheering]
In his sensational demonstration
of iron nerve and skill.
Is the trained nurse in attendance?
- The trained nurse is here. - I'm ready.
Whoa, watch it!
[laughing]
Hey, hey, hey!
[crowd booing]
I beg your forbearance.
I'm out of practice.
Ah, ah.
One, two..
[cheering]
Hey, Hinesie, put one here.
[indistinct chatter]
[speaking in foreign language]
[cheering]
Now if some daring young lady from the audience
will consent to stand in front of the board
I'll show the act as it should be played.
[indistinct chatter]
- My mother loves me. - Come on, Mae, you do it.
- No! Don't. - You're so big he can't miss.
Now cut that out. Behave yourself.
Eleven years in the public eye and never drew a drop of blood.
- I'll do it. - Don't get foolish.
I'll do it.
Can you knock the apple off my head, Hinesie?
That's the spirit, Babe. You show 'em, kid.
- I don't think she should. - Please, Babe, don't.
[grunting] One, two..
[crowd gasps]
- Where's my apple? - I think that's enough.
Give it to me.
Hinesie Hines, you're making us all so frightened.
Making you frightened? How do you think I feel?
Come on, Hinesie. Shoot.
(Hines) 'Alright, now, will you just hold perfectly still?'
- Oh, no. - She's shakin'.
My goodness, she's shakin'.
Something awful's gonna happen.
You better not, Babe.
Alright, everybody! Will you hold still?
One, two..
[crowd gasps]
Is it over?
Now break it up. Get that stuff out of here now.
- Break it up, I tell ya. - Hey, that's an insult.
My skill has never been questioned before.
Oh, go drown yourself.
Break it up, all of you, break it up.
My, but you're an impetuous girl.
- Where you going, Mae? - No place special.
I tell you, I'm not jealous.
I didn't say you were jealous, I said you were drunk.
Well, you can't have everything.
Oh.
That defiant policy of yours
is gonna get you in trouble some day, Catherine Williams.
It's been workin' out so far.
Look, I've got a new policy in mind for both you and me.
- Oh? - Let's quit fighting.
What fight?
Come here, Catherine. The new policy.
[ducks quacking]
[sighs] Gee, Babe, you're terrific.
You're not so bad yourself.
For a superintendent.
Listen, I'm not the superintendent.
What did you do, resign?
Today, I'm just Sid, you're just Babe.
A guy and his girl.
Sid, just because I kissed you, does that make me your girl?
Well, anyway, the feud is over.
This picnic is going to be okay.
[instrumental music]
- Can you polka? - Of course not.
Come on.
Don't you wanna be my girl?
Why don't you answer my question?
- Do I have to? - Absolutely.
Now is the historic moment.
How about it? Do you like me?
[chuckles] Of course I do, you silly thing.
You do? Holy smoke, what a picnic.
- What a girl! What a day! - Whoa!

You know, when you first come here
after that picnic last week
Katie says to me, "Don't be a pest.
Don't talk too darn much.”
Might be a lot worse if I didn't talk at all, eh, Sid?
You're right.
I always says a railroad man
can't be too much of a doggone pest
'cause he ain't home enough.
You go out on your run tonight, don't you?
Yes, off to Milwaukee, doggone it.
Say, Sid..
here's something you don't see every day.
- What is it? - A petrified bat.
Oh, pop.
Sid is not interested in petrified bats.
What the heck, dear, I didn't say he was.
Yeah, I know you.
The tyranny of women.
Well, I'm gonna get my things.
Room number 15 waits for no man.
Pop belt your ears off?
He's a great guy. I like him.
- But I like you better. - No, no, no, no, no.
Wait till pop goes out.
Say, Sid, do you like stamps?
Oh, pop.
Well, even if he don't that's something
that'd interest anyone.
Two sets of Mint Columbians
laid blocks on every issue since 1919.
- Goodnight, Katie. - Night, pop.
Come around anytime, Sid.
I'd like to.
Say, he has got a full set of Mint Columbians.
Sure, he has. That's why I work at Sleeptite.
[both chuckle]
I feel good, Babe. Feel like home.
Wonder if we've got any onions.
Onions?
I'm gonna make a western. You want one?
That's my baby boy, she wants a western.
No, honey. I do not want a western.
Food is not uppermost in my thoughts at the moment.
I suppose you want some coffee too.
No, no, it'll keep me awake.
Now cut that out.
What's the matter, lover?

Babe, I love you.
- Darling. - Sid.
There's something we've got to talk about.
What?
I think you're wonderful, and I love you.
But we're in for a lot of trouble.
No, baby, why should we be?
Because something's going to come between us.
- Who? - It's not any who.
- Seven and a half cents. - Oh, that.
That contract, lover, that's important.
- Maybe we should face that... - Don't talk such nonsense.
Sid, you mustn't treat me like a baby.
Well, then you've got to listen to me.
I don't know why the union is so important to me
but it is.
I guess you just gotta be on a team.
So that's why, no matter what's with us, Sid
I'm gonna be fighting for my side and fighting hard.
Alright.
How do you feel about me, Babe?
I love you terribly.
If we both feel the same way about each other
isn't that enough?
Oh, you don't know me.
Babe, I love you.

(Hasler) 'I wanna be fair. That's what I keep telling you.'
'That's my whole principle of business.'
'I want my relations with the union..'
- Well.. - Shh!
The committee's in there talking to Mr. Hasler right now.
Well, I'm steering clear of that.
- I'll go get my lunch. - We ate already.
(female #1) 'Yeah, I guess..'
Let's not adjourn with any hard feelings.
We must preserve that fine Sleeptite spirit.
That's easy to say, Mr. Hasler, but we're not gettin' any place.
- We're going backwards. - I didn't say no.
I said, not now.
Look, Mr. Hasler, this thing has been dragging on for months.
The help are getting very jumpy.
Their patience is about worn out.
I wanna be fair.
I'm gonna tell you the plain truth, Mr. Hasler.
We know the company is doing one heck of a business.
We don't have no education, maybe, but we got eyes and ears.
Everybody in the industry has had
a seven and a half cent raise but us.
As I said, I wanna be fair.
That's always been my policy.
So I don't give you a yes and I don't give you a no.
I say that we have to examine it and I have to talk to the board.
That's just the way we're gonna leave it.
Sure. Come on.
I told you we wouldn't get no place.
Looks like another run around, Prez.
He's a fighter, he says. What a line!
- Well, what do we do now? - Slow down.
- Attaboy, this is it. - You know what to do. Come on.
Slow down.
[indistinct chatter]
Slow down.
You're in charge of this room, Babe.
- I got you. - Go to it.
(Babe) Go to your places.
Steam room.
[shushing]
[all shushing]
[instrumental music]
Something's wrong here. What's the matter?
[sighs] I guess I'm just overworked
or something, Mr. Hines.
Ever since lunch, I just can't get the hang of it.
Well, I think I get the hang of it.
I'm gonna see the superintendent on what's going on around here.

My job's to turn out goods and that's what we're gonna do.
You have a contract.
I didn't make it, but it's there.
I want a day's work for a day's pay.
I can still hire and fire around here, you know.
Now let's go!
[instrumental music]
[music intensifies]
[hissing]

Somebody jammed the line.
Who did that?
I did.
You're fired.
I am?
Yes.
Well, that's just fine.
I haven't had a vacation in three years. I need one.
So long, girls!
Get Charlie.
We'll be operating again in 15 minutes.
Now clear out till I call you back.
I have a fuse and a switch.
Boy, look out.
Did you get burned?
Yeah.
Twice.
[applauding]
What's going on down at the plant
you all know as good as I.
And any members of the type I run into
from time to time who say
"What good is a union? Why should I pay my dues?"
Why, they could get a mighty good object lesson
from where would they be now
in this here battle for the seven and a half cents
that they wouldn't get if it wasn't for the union.
What's sure as shooting gonna get it.
[all cheering]
So leave us all remember
that our union should be
first and foremost in our minds
next only to our loved ones
'and the tiny tots and kiddies.'
Now before we break up
we're gonna have a little entertainment
and I hope you're gonna show a special courtesy tonight
because a couple of the cutting room boys
is got up an act with Gladys Hotchkiss
who is from the front office.
And if these good folk is good enough
to come down here and do this act for us
why, the least you can do is not to sneak out
the back way like last time.
[all laughing]
The little number they got worked up
is something that's right on the nose
because it's about getting hot.
And fellow union members
that's what we're doing, gettin' hot!
[cheering]
[upbeat music]
Where'd you get the hat?
Quiet! Quiet! Shut up, everybody!

Listen, Mae, pay attention to the meetin'
and quit guzzlin' all that free beer.
I ain't guzzlin', I'm just being sociable.
Sure, Mae's got to keep her strength up.
We can't just sit around here and do nothing.
We gotta make plans.
Hasler ain't gonna give in easy.
- We got the "Slow Down." - I mean other things.
More like, for instance, like, why, this suggestion
I got here from Jake Fondermeyer.
He says when he was workin' at the Ironclad Overall Company
and they was havin' trouble, why, they spit tobacco juice
in the back hip pockets of the overalls.
I draw the line in chewing tobacco.
- I wasn't suggestin" that. - Oh.
How about if the packers put the size large bottoms
with the size small tops?
- And like that? - Sure.
Now, that's what I mean. That's constructive.
[telephone rings]
- Excuse me. - That's clear thinkin'.
Hello?
Oh. Sure.
Sure, I recognize your voice.
(Poopsie) "But that won't take effect soon enough.'
- 'I suppose not.' - Yes, I am.
(Prez) 'Let's be practical.'
No, I can't talk now.
I've been away three days and..
Hey, I'm gonna break down and have another beer.
Look, I have several people here.
It wouldn't do any good anyway.
I'm sorry. Goodbye.
- Babe, they were sayin".. - Huh?
Well, look, I don't wanna get Babe into trouble.
What trouble can you get me into?
I've been fired already.
Well, the union ought to do
something about that, too.
Well, if she hadn't stood right up
and said she did it, we could've.
But if somebody up and admits they've been busting up
the company property..
Listen, here's a confidence just inside the committee.
Some of the buttons ain't being sewed on so good.
Wait till a salesmen comes screaming back to Hasler.
- Hello. - Hi, Mr. Williams.
Oh, big meeting, huh?
- Hiya, honey. - Hiya, pop.
Don't let me interrupt.
Well, that's about it, anyhow.
- Sure. - Okay.
And let's be thinkin' of new ways
to jam things up, huh?
Alright.
Let me take you home, huh, Mae?
I don't mind.
Well, I gotta step on it.
- Can you give me a lift? - 'Sure, come on.'
You can drop me off at the drugstore.
- Night, Babe. - Night.
- And thanks for the beer. - Okay.
[car horn blares]
Oh, don't be so nervous.
That's what I like about picnics.
- They bring people together. - They sure do.
I never thought you was aware I was alive until that day.
How could I miss you?
You're the kind that stands out in a crowd.
You know what I mean?
[bell dinging]
[train approaching]
[train horn blaring]
- I thought I to... - Have you really been away?
Sure.
I went to Chicago to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo.
Just because we're on different sides
is that any reason for you and me to get all balled up?
Looks like it, doesn't it?
Not to me, it doesn't.
What kind of a queen are you anyway?
Haven't you heard?
I'm the sweetheart of Local 343
Amalgamated Shirt and Pajama Workers of America.
My gosh, Sid, I warned you.
I told you, you know?
You knew all about how I felt.
I happen to think there are certain things
a person has to stand for in this life.
But I guess you forgot about that.
I forget nothin'. They pay me to run a factory.
So run the factory!
You stick to your side and I'll stick to mine.
Listen, Miss Williams.
I love you.
Corny, ain't it?
Did you hear me?
Babe, can't you see my side of it?
I can't fail at this.
I was a cutting room foreman
when I bluffed my way into this job
and I'm gonna fight to stay here.
Now that I've got you in my plans
I'm fighting even harder.
Watch those hands, tycoon.
Well, here we are. Oh, hello, Sid.
I thought I heard your voice.
What you got there, pop, your stamp album?
Oh, now don't get excited.
Sid don't want to look at it, why, he doesn't have to.
There's no law against my looking at it, is there?
Sid likes stamps, he told me so.
But me, I'm just plain bushed
so if you don't mind, I think I'll slide off to bed.
(Mr. Williams) "Run along, honey. Goodnight, dear.'
(Sid) "Goodnight. Sleep well.'
Thanks.
Sid, suppose we start
with the Pan-American Exposition issue of 1901.
I guess that's as good a place to start off as any.

Hines, this is an emergency, come on.
The whole country is on the skids.
Here I am right now with employees
openly defiant of top management.
Look, Mr. Hasler, maybe if we offered a compromise...
Not until there's ice in Hades three feet thick.
I'm a fighter, Sorokin.
We got hundreds of orders to get out.
That's right, Mr. Hasler.
Now, here's this letter from Marx and Klein over the...
Marx and Klein. Wholesalers.
Doggone chain outfit!
Doggone communists!
Want another price cut, I suppose.
I've been looking for you, Mr. Hasler.
Where did you come from?
Hines, you look like a medium. I need you.
What on earth is going on around here?
Take your pants off.
I'll do no such thing.
Mr. Hasler, this is life and death
to the Sleeptite organization.
I want him to model these pajamas.
Hines, take your pants off!
Okay, chief.
- Me? Honest? - Come on! Come on!
- Oh, what a day. - Well, I'm a very busy man.
I'm a time-study man, I'm not a model.
This is all for Sleeptite, mister.
Hines, put those pajamas on!
Hurry it up. Le-let's get it over with. Whatever it is.
Mr. Hasler, I want you to get the picture.
I'm showing Mr. Charley Robertson
of the Robertson Brothers.
I ain't one of your type salesmen
who believes in half measures.
Whenever I have a sample room
I do just what we got Hinesie doin".
I model the pants myself. I don't..
Beautiful styling. What more do you want?
Now, wait. Here I am in Peoria, I'm modeling the pants.
Mr. Robertson and his two buyers
are very impressed with the line and ready to buy.
- Get the picture? - Go on, go on.
I hope there's some point to all this.
Hines, take a deep breath. Stick out your stomach.
Now, this is truly ridiculous.
Everybody, bear in mind I got these pajamas out of stock.
Right out of the box.
Go on, Hines, breathe.
Take a big breath.
He said to breathe. Breathe!
Let's get it over with!
[inhales deeply]
- My gosh! - Oh..
- No, leave 'em be. - Aah! What are you doing?
- Playing games? - Let me see those.
They're all like that. Every one.
Boxes and boxes of 'em.
Well, what's the idea? Who did this?
Somebody's got quite a sense of humor.
What are you talking about?
Two threads in every waistband button.
- What? - They're not sewed on.
Only two threads. Somebody's being very cute.
Cute? Sabotage! Open rebellion!
On the other hand, it may be just...
- Oh, put your pants on! - Sorry, boss.
- What did you do, Vernon? - I do, I didn't do anything.
Give me the stock, I'll be the laughing stock
of the pajama game.
What'd this Robertson do when your pants fell down?
He laughed, Mabel. No sense of humor.
Hold the orders till we check the stock.
- I'll be right down. - Here.
- Wait a minute. - Come on, Max.
If they think they can lick Myron Hasler with a trick
like this, they've got another guess comin'.
I'm going downstairs, I'll fire the whole factory.
I'll nail it up, board it down.
And, Hines, I want an individual time report
on each individual worker.
- I don't care if they... - I got an individual..
Oh, no! My vice president!
Partly your fault! Well, do something!
Rip it! Tear it loose!
Now, Mr. Hasler, in this letter from Marx and Klein, they...
Don't bother me with letters from Marx and Klein
or anybody else, and Gladys
don't forget that I've got a meeting
of the board of directors tomorrow.
- Yes, sir, the board... - Two threads.
That's what I've got to tell them.
Two threads!
We've got to recall an awful lot of orders.
- How many? - They're gonna let us know.
- Sabotage! - Mr. Hasler.
- Yeah? - I'd like to make a pitch.
Pitch? Alright, pitch ahead.
Let me make my position clear.
I'm for the company first, last and always.
But labor problems have got to end up in one way.
Compromise.
Sorokin, you've been around here
long enough to learn something.
But you seem a little slow.
I am a fighter.
Keep your dukes up.
- Yes, but... - Don't waste your breath on me.
Keep your dukes up!
Hey, cheer up.
Yeah. "Keep your dukes up!"
What?
Mr. Hasler wants me to take boxing lessons.
[chuckles] You certainly are a character.
I'd like to get some information out of you, too.
What kind?
Double entry.
Well, you're not gonna get any information.
So there.
I'm a desperate man.
I hate to ask a cute kid like you to do me a favor.
Sid, dear, you wouldn't want me to violate a trust, would you?
I sure would, if it'd help unsnarl things around here.
Why is that so important?
Because my future depends upon the titanic struggle
for pajama survival.
[giggles] You're a scream.
- And I just feel that if I... - No, no. Not that.
I wouldn't ask you to show it to me.
Just leave it around.
No.
Besides, it's locked anyhow.
I know a sexy dame who'd lend me the key.
Oh, you think so?
Well, it'd be fun tryin' to persuade her.
It might be fun to have you try.
- Well, I gotta go now. - No, wait.
Why?
Let's go out tonight.
Well, I hope you're not serious about that key.
I don't feel like being serious about anything.
You're busy, huh?
No.
I sure would like to.
Oh, gee, where will you take me?
Any place you say.
I know a wonderful joint.

I wanna ask you a personal question, Sid.
Do you like scotch?
No, Gladys, I don't like scotch.
Neither do I.
Scotch has a very peculiar taste to it.
Kind of a scotch-like taste?
Yeah, that's it. Count me out.
Is that gin?
Yes, ma'am.
You're right.

I gotta give someone a message.
- Good evening, Miss Williams. - Hello, Tony.
- Shall I get you a table? - No, thanks.
- I'm looking for somebody. - You're welcome.
[instrumental music]
- Hiya, folks. - Howdy.
- Hi, Babe. - Hello, Poopsie.
I thought you was out bowlin' tonight.
Yeah, I was. I came over to give somebody a message.
Come on, Sid, let's dance.
What's the matter, Sid?
I don't feel so good.
You sick, you mean?
Not sick, just kind of depressed.
Oh, look, don't be repressed.
Here.
Look what I'm giving you. See?
Well, take it.
It's a lousy trick, Gladys.
Well, I'll just lend it to you.
And don't tell anybody.
You gotta give it back in the morning.
Thanks.
Hi, Babe.
- Yes, hello. - Gladys, I just...
Sid and I are just old friends.
- Won't you join us? - No, thank you.
Gladys, I just came to tell you that Hinesie is out for blood.
He was over at the bowling alley just now.
He knows you two are out together and he's going crazy.
Oh, Hinesie.
- And he's got a knife. - The fool.
He's always got a knife.
He's living in the past.
That's not healthy, you think so, Sid?
Look, I didn't come here to be funny, Gladys.
And I didn't come here because I'm craving your company
o-or because I wanna join your party or anything like that.
I just came to tell you that he's dangerous.
He talks dangerous, but he isn't.
I think I'll take a nap.
Babe.
Move over.
Prez, pay up for me and take Gladys home, will you?
Gladys? Sure.
Sure, Sid, glad to.
Got some important book-keeping to do.
Her is the cutest one.
I remember you.
(Prez) 'I'm gonna take you home.'
Alright. But wait a minute, I gotta take another nap.
[taps]
Oh, I see you.
You don't need to drop anything.
You abandoned woman, you hussy!
After the way you behaved?
Taking your pants off in Mr. Hasler's office?
Don't touch me.
I'm out with friends.
And I'm glad I never married you.
[line ringing]
- 'Hello.' - Hello.
- This is Sorokin, Mr. Hasler. - 'Well, what is it?'
Sorry to get you out so early in the morning
but it's important that I talk to you at once.
(Hasler on phone) 'Alright, I'll be down there right away.'
Thanks, I'll be waiting for you.
There's a committee from the union outside
waiting to see you.
Yeah, I sent for them.
Come in.
I'm sorry to drag you up here
but I know you're having a union rally tonight
and I wanna talk to you first.
That's okay, Sid.
I think I got a hold of some facts
that may clean up this mess.
Well, it better be quick.
Either we get the seven and a half cents..
- Or we vote to strike. - You're doggone right.
What I wanna ask is, will you keep the rally going
till I get there and talk to you?
- What about? - About solving this thing.
There ought to be a time limit.
Alright. You're gonna parade first.
- We sure are. - That'll give me time.
Well, that's fair enough.
Oh, Miss Williams, can I speak to you?
We'll wait for you downstairs, Babe.
Okay.
- I know explanations are lousy. - Oh, no.
Babe, you've gotta give me a chance to explain.
I don't want explanations.
It's humiliating.
But you mustn't think that...
I don't think anything, Sid.
I don't care.
If it's about you and Gladys
it's none of my business.
- But it is your business. - Oh, please.
I'm talking about something bigger than that.
Well, this is just great.
Can't we even talk to each other and make sense anymore?
I don't see how.
Not till this is over.
I've been eatin' mud long enough.
I've had it.
Well, then what do you suggest?
Meet me after the rally tonight.
I can't. I have a date.
Well, that's that.
I'll break it.
[instrumental music]
[screams]
I saw you.
Now, Vernon, cut that out!
[gasps]
You're just crazy, that's all!
I'll call the police!
[screams]
You drove me too far this time.
You'll find out.
I know you're just trying to scare me, but..
[screaming]
[grunts]
Help! Sid, Sid, you gotta do something!
Vernon's not fooling this time!
- Just calm yourself. - But he's after me!
- He's been following me! - I'll fix everything!
I'll take him aside and tell him the whole story.
In the meantime, here's your key.
Listen. I thought I heard something.
[screams]
You maniac! Hinesie, you idiot!
I'm sure glad he got that out of his system.
But how do you know he has? How do you...
Cut it out, Gladys!
Everything is gonna be alright.
[screams]
- You gotta stop him. - I'll fix that, baby.
(Hasler) Well, alright, I'm here.
I hope this call turns out to be important.
What.. Oh.
What's going on around here?
Look!
Now, that's not nice.
I don't like this. This is company property, Sorokin.
I better explain, Mr. Hasler.
Well, I think somebody had better explain..
[all scream]
- They're out to murder me. - I'll stop that.
- Call the police. - Yes, sir.
It's a plot to murder me.
They've imported gangsters from Chicago.
It's the old Al Capone mob.
- I don't think so, Mr. Hasler. - Don't argue with me.
You see those knives?
- That's the work of foreigners. - But, Mr. Hasler..
[footsteps approaching]
Hines, where you been? On the job, man.
The place is full of gangsters around to get me.
They aren't after you, Mr. Hasler, they're after me.
Talk, talk, why doesn't somebody do something? Get me the police.
You don't wanna arrest Hines, do you?
- Hines? - He was tryin' to kill me.
He was?
Hines, suppose you'd have succeeded.
And me right in the middle of labor troubles.
Suppose you'd have hit him.
Oh, I could've hit him, alright.
I-I was just trying to scare him.
This why you called me to come down here and risk my life?
I called because there's gonna be a strike tomorrow
unless you listen to me.
Gladys, have his head patched up.
- Alright, Vernon. - No, leave me alone.
I'm a fighter. I am. Dukes up.
Come on, tiger.
- Mr. Hasler. - Yeah?
I'm going before the board of directors.
You are what?
If I can't solve this in any other way.
Solve what?
I've been up all night with your ledger.
- What did you say? - I apologize.
I know you didn't hire me as a safecracker
but I had to get some facts.
- I've been through your books. - You mean to say that...
That seven and a half cents
was added to the cost six months ago.
I can put you in jail, that's what I can do.
- Put you in jail. - No, you can't.
But you can give that raise.
If you don't, I'll go before the board
and tell them the situation
and tell 'em how many orders have been canceled.
- Not one single... - Read your mail!
There's a dozen cancellations.
You're costing the company thousands of dollars!
Mabel tried to tell you all day yesterday about Marx and Klein.
Now, if this operation folds up
I fold with it, and I don't want to.
So do me a favor. Sit down and talk to me.
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, we're sure to win, ain't we, Prez?
What kind of question is that?
Sure we are. Babe'll tell you.
The answer is yes.
That's the answer to everything tonight.
Babe and me was up half the night

- Hey, Prez. - Yes, Sid?
Mr. Hasler's here with me
and he thinks he can settle this strike.
- Well, how? - Why don't you hear him out?
Okay.
Okay, Mr. Hasler.
[screams] My friends..
[speaks softly] My friends..
this strife within our ranks
has disturbed me more than you know.
And I think that you realize as well as I do
that there is only one way out of a thing like this.
That's to compromise.
'And Sleeptite wants to meet you halfway.'
We offer a compromise.
We'll give you seven and a half cents
if you give up the claim to retroactive pay.
We ain't givin' up nothin'!
Wait a minute. Don't you see?
We won!
(all) We won!
- We won! - We won!
[people cheering]
Sid.
You were so wonderful.
I could kiss you.
I don't wanna get kissed for settling a strike.
(Hasler) 'Marching forward against the evil..'
Of course if it's anything personal..
It's very personal.
(Hasler) 'And I say to you again'
'in this hour of decision'
'that our responsibility to the garment industry'
ring like a battle cry throughout the land.
Production must increase.
Cost must go down.
And, fellow Sleeptiters
I just want to say
that this demonstration of harmony in our factory
strikes something deep down inside me.
And I know that this party of yours
is going to be a great success
because it stems from that genuine spirit
of Sleeptite solidarity.
[applauding]
We say okay to that, M.H.
So, on with our tribute to Sleeptite pajamas.
And now on with the Sleeptite fashion parade.
[instrumental music]
Wear Sleeptite at all social functions.
[all cheering]
Dresses are fine but Sleeptite's divine.
[all laugh]
Sleeptite has everything.
Grace, style and comfort.
- I'm grace. - I'm style.
I'm comfort.
[applauding]
Wear Sleeptite for a happy family life.
[crowd exclaiming]
Now I trust her night and day.
That's true love the Sleeptite way.
And another point
Sleeptite is economical.
[all gasping]
Married life is lots of fun.
Two can sleep as cheap as one.
[cheering]
[music continues]
Whee!
