Guest Veronica Lake ( )

And starring Archie himself. Here we go friends to Duffy's Tavern with our guest, Veronica Lake, and starring Archie himself, Ed Gardner. Oh, Duffy's Tavern, where do you meet me?

See, Archie, the man just faking up. He ain't here. Oh, Duffy, guess who's coming down tonight? Well, I'll give you a hint. Think of a beautiful face with hair hanging down over one eye. Now not John L. Lewis.

Oh, Lois, is there a hangin' down over both eyes? It's Veronica like, Duffy. Well, no, actually, she don't wear it that way no more. I gotta stay here. Faces as bold as a billion below.

Oh, yes, a very beautiful dish, you know. A figure, sort of, uh, petitly Juno-esque. Petite and some spots and Juno-esque and others. Like Mrs. Duffy? Duffy, I said Juno-esque, not jumbo-esque. Yes, there's Duffy. Veronica's one of the most beautiful dames in this whole world.

Yeah, her face beams like a full moon in April. Her shoulders have the whiteness of the blossoms and may. A rise twinkle like little snowflakes in December. What happened to Joan July, August, September, October, April?

The census cut them out. What? I promised to get a big name singer for the joint? Well, Tuffy, I got that arranged for you. See, Penya Slavnik, the music teacher is bringing a singer down.

That's one of the biggest names in show business. A shantu? No, it's a male singer. I'm going to get you a big name. I'm going to get you a big name. If I don't, I'm a dirty what?

I'm going to get you an even bigger name than that. Okay, I'll call you back. Say, Eddie, you know, we have a distinguished guest coming here tonight. Yes, sir? Did you wash the windows on the sidewalk?
