Cheryl Williams : [shakes hands] Perfect, thank you, as always.
Sonny Carlisle : [grumpily] Pardon me, Ted, what kind of a burg did you book us into this year?
Ted Meyerson : Hey, listen to this guy? Palm Beach, a burg? This is the watering hole for the rich and the raunchy!
Dana Barclay : Sonny has been complaining for twelve years.
[kisses him on the cheek]
Dana Barclay : Haven't you, Sonny?
[rubs his cheek]
Cheryl Williams : [with smile] Maybe it's time he got another job.
Sonny Carlisle : I will die MC-ing this pageant, baby, though you're history at the end of the week.

Ted Meyerson : [as he shakes her hand] Well, who do we have here?
Betty Lou Biggs : Betty Lou Biggs, I'm a contestant.
Ted Meyerson : Of course. How are you, Betty Lou?
Dana Barclay : Betty Lou, you're early. You're supposed to arrive tomorrow with the other girls.
Betty Lou Biggs : I couldn't wait.
[breathless:]
Betty Lou Biggs : I was too excited.
Dana Barclay : But we don't have a *room* for you.
Ted Meyerson : Get one!
[takes Cheryl by the arm]
Ted Meyerson : This way, Miss Dixie Belle.
Dana Barclay : This way, Betty Lou.
[drags her off]

Betty Lou Biggs : Mr. Meyerson, I am *so* sorry.
Ted Meyerson : We are all upset, Betty Lou.
Betty Lou Biggs : Who could have done such an evil thing?
Ted Meyerson : Well, that's exactly what Sergeant...
[turns to Rita]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Lance.
Ted Meyerson : ...Lance is here to find out, and don't you worry,
[holds her hand]
Ted Meyerson : everything is under control, we've doubled security, and I'm sure the police...
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : You're going on with the contest?
Ted Meyerson : This is not a contest, Sergeant. It's a pageant. It's steeped in tradition. We must continue.
[Betty smiles and Rita nods]
Ted Meyerson : We've got television coverage, sponsors who have bought time, and a lot of money at stake. *My* money.
Betty Lou Biggs : It's too late to cancel the pageant anyway. The girls are here.
Dana Barclay : [wearily] They are?
Betty Lou Biggs : Some of the girls just began arriving...
Dana Barclay : Excuse me...
[rushes off]
Ted Meyerson : You have to excuse me, Sergeant, I have the flower of Dixie beauty to attend to.
[Betty Lou stares attentively after him]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Guess we know what the priorities are.
[Betty Lou still stands at rapt attention for Meyerson]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Uh... Betty Lou, right?
Betty Lou Biggs : Yes.
[smiles]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Uh... do you know Cheryl Williams?
Betty Lou Biggs : [shakes her head] No, Sergeant, I saw her briefly in the lobby last night when I arrived.
[shakes her head]
Betty Lou Biggs : She was such a stunning girl.
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Right, yeah...
[with faked enthusiasm]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : I *love* the color of your hair.
Betty Lou Biggs : Well, thanks.
[big smile, preens]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : [faked interest] Do you do it yourself?
Betty Lou Biggs : Uh, no. It's all natural. What you see is what you get.
[chuckles coyly]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : Yeah...
[fakes big grin]
Sgt. Rita Lee Lance : I'll bet.
