NORMA:Hurry up, the birthday boy is on his way
This is a surprise celebration
I hope you've remembered everything I've said
I want to see a total transformation
JOE: What's all this?
NORMA:Happy birthday, darling. Did you think we'd forgotten?
JOE: Well, I ... I don't know.
NORMA: These people are from the best men's shop in town.
I had them close it down for the day.
JOE: Norma, now listen!
NORMA: I'll leave you boys to it.
MANFRED: Happy birthday, welcome to your shopathon!
JOE: What's going on?
MANFRED: Help yourself, it's all been taken care of
Anyone who's anyone is dressed by me
JOE: Well, golly gee
MANFRED: Pick out anything you'd like a pair of
You just point, I'll do the rest
I've brought nothing but the best
You're a very lucky writer
Come along now, get undressed
Unless I'm much mistaken
That's a 42-inch chest
JOE: I don't understand a word you're saying
MANFRED: Well, all you need to know's the lady's paying
It's nice to get your just reward this time of year
JOE: Get outta here!
MANFRED:And all my merchandise is strictly kosher
When you've thrown away all your old worn-out stuff
JOE:Hey, that's enough
MANFRED: Perhaps you'd like to model for my brochure
I have just the thing for you
Chalk-stripe suits
SALESMAN 1: In black
SALESMAN 2: Or blue
SALESMAN 3: Glen plaid trousers
SALESMAN 4: Cashmere sweaters
SALESMAN 5: Bathing shorts for Malibu
SALESMAN 6: Here's a patent leather lace-up
SALESMAN 7: It's a virtuoso shoe
MANFRED: And a simply marvelous coat made of vicuna
JOE: You know what you can do with your vicuna
NORMA: Come on Joe, you haven't even started yet
JOE: You wanna bet?
NORMA: I thought by now he'd look the height of fashion
He always takes forever making up his mind
Don't be unkind
I thought you writers knew about compassion
I love flannel on a man
MANFRED: This will complement his tan
NORMA: We'll take two of these and four of those
MANFRED: I'm still your greatest fan!
Very soon now we'll have stopped him
Looking like an also-ran
JOE: You're going to make me sorry that I'm staying
NORMA: Well, all right, I'll choose, after all, I'm paying!
MANFRED: Evening clothes?
NORMA: I want to see your most deluxe
JOE: Won't wear a tux
NORMA: Of course not, dear, tuxedos are for waiters
MANFRED:What we need are tails, a white tie and top hat
J OE:I can't wear that
NORMA:Joe, second-rate clothes are for second-raters
JOE:Norma, please...
NORMA: Shut up, I'm rich
Now some platinum blonde *****
I own so many apartments
I've forgotten which is which
JOE: I don't have to go to premieres
I'm never on display
You seem to forget that I'm a writer
Who cares what you wear when you're a writer?
NORMA: I care, Joe, and please don't be so mean to me.
JOE: OK, all right.
NORMA: You can't come to my New Year's Eve party in that filling-station shirt.
JOE: I've been invited somewhere else on New Year's Eve.
NORMA: Where?
JOE: Artie Green. He's an old friend of mine.
NORMA: I can't do without you, Joe, I need you.
I've sent out every single invitation
JOE: All right, Norma, I give in
NORMA:Of course you do
And when they've dressed you
You'll cause a sensation
SALESMEN: We equip the chosen few of Movieland
MANFRED: (The latest cut)
SALESMEN: We dress every movie star and crooner
From their shiny toecaps to their hatband
MANFRED: (Conceal your gut)
You won't regret selecting the vicuna
SALESMEN: If you need a hand to shake
If there's a girl you want to make
If there's a soul you're out to capture
Or a heart you want to break
If you want the world to love you
MANFRED: You'll have to learn to take
SALESMEN: And gracefully accept the role you're playing
MANFRED: You will earn every cent the lady's paying
SALESMEN: So why not have it all?
MANFRED: Now that didn't hurt, did it?
SALESMEN: The lady's paying!
