Ben Mankiewicz: Welcome back to Turner Classic Movies. I’m Ben Mankiewicz. We’re in the middle of the 1952 drama, “Whistle If You Can”, starring Preston Wbb as a wealthly businessman, and Merna Fontaine as a hooker with a heart of gold. Let’s watch.

[ dissolve to interior, hotel room ]
Prostitute: Ooh, this is some place! You must be some kind of a bigshot!
Businessman: Nice, huh?
Prostitute: Never been in this hotel before. So, tell me, Mr. Businessman… [ she sits on the edge of the bed ] What’s your pleasure?
Businessman: Whoa! Slow down.
Prostitute: Slow down? [ she chuckles ] Candy’s just getting started!
Businessman: No. Stop. Look, I just want to talk.
Prostitute: Talk?
Businessman: Yeah. I just want to get to know you as a person.
Prostitute: It’s your time.
Businessman: Tell me: What did you want to be before you started “turning tricks”?
Prostitute: Oh, what is this?! 20 Questions?
Businessman: No, really. I want to know.
Prostitute: I don’t know! [ she sighs ] It’s silly, but I… I guess I, kinda, always wanted to be a dental hygeinist.
Businessman: I don’t think that’s silly. What’s your name?
Prostitute: I told you it’s Candy.
Businessman: No, no. Your real name. The one your mother gave you.
Prostitute: My mother?
Businessman: Does she even know you’re doing this?
Prostitute: My mother? She lives in Nebraska, I… I haven’t spoken to her in years.
Businessman: Maybe you should call her.
Prostitute: Maybe she doesn’t want to hear from me.
Businessman: Funny thing about mothers: They always answer the phone. [ he hands the phone to her ]
Prostitute: [ she dials ] Mama! It’s me! Yeah… yeah, I miss you, too. No, I’m okay. Yeah, Mama. I’ll be home for Christmas. [ she laughs, then cradles the phone ] Well, whaddaya know, I… I guess she still loves me!
Businessman: Of course, she does.
Prostitute: Thanks. Oh, and Mister? It’s Gertrude. My name, that is.
Businessman: Gertrude. That’s a very nice name.
Prostitute: Thank you.
Businessman: Gertrude… give me a hand job.
Prostitute: [ flustered ] What?!
Businessman: Give me a hand job, Gertrude!
Prostitute: I don’t understand! I thought you said you wanted to talk?!
Businessman: Well, yeah — that’s what turns me on. First, I get a prostitute to… talk about her life, then I make her call her mom while I watch, then I get your real name, and then… HANDY!
Prostitute: Yeah. Well, that is SICK!
Businessman: Well, to quote you, a hooker: It’s my dime.
Prostitute: Okay, fine. But I want the ten bucks up front!
Businessman: I’m only gonna pay you $7.50.
Prostitute: Well, what gives?!
Businessman: That call was a long-distance call.
Prostitute: Sooooome big shot!
Businessman: [ pointing toward his crotch ] Let’s go.
[ “THE END” appears on-screen, as the theme flourishes ]

Hi! I could have sworn I’ve visited this site before but after going through many of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m certainly happy I stumbled upon it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back regularly!
Saved as a favorite, I love your web site!
This is the right website for everyone who hopes to understand this topic. You understand a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a topic that has been discussed for ages. Great stuff, just wonderful!
I could not refrain from commenting. Very well written!
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon on a daily basis. It’s always useful to read through content from other writers and practice something from their web sites.
In my opinion that a foreclosure can have a significant effect on the client’s life. House foreclosures can have a 6 to few years negative relation to a borrower’s credit report. The borrower who have applied for a mortgage or almost any loans for example, knows that the actual worse credit rating is usually, the more hard it is to acquire a decent loan. In addition, it might affect any borrower’s chance to find a reasonable place to let or rent, if that turns into the alternative houses solution. Good blog post.
Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
Admiring the time and effort you put into your website and detailed information you present. It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed information. Wonderful read! I’ve saved your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
I have observed that in the world the present day, video games are the latest craze with children of all ages. Often times it may be unattainable to drag your kids away from the games. If you want the best of both worlds, there are plenty of educational gaming activities for kids. Great post.
Good post here. One thing I would really like to say is most professional domains consider the Bachelor Degree just as the entry level requirement for an online college degree. Although Associate Qualifications are a great way to begin with, completing ones Bachelors reveals many doors to various careers, there are numerous internet Bachelor Diploma Programs available coming from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions offer Online editions of their college diplomas but usually for a significantly higher payment than the providers that specialize in online diploma programs.
