Quote context

[...]

- Flight Number Four, United Airlines mainliner sleeper plane leaving for Denver, Omaha, Chicago...

- Tonight we have as our guest Miss Frances Litaker, one of the lovely young stewardesses who fly for those huge mainliners.

- Chosen for poise, charm, expert training, these girls have an exciting and glamorous job. And one that's very hard on stockings.

- So we're especially proud that so many of United Airlines' a hundred and ninety-four stewardesses use Lux Flakes for their stockings, both silk and nylon.

- Over eighty-one percent of the girls who have told us what care they give their stockings use Lux Flakes.

- Miss, what part of your job would you say was hardest on stockings?

- Why, I'd say making up the berths in the sleeper planes. We have to kneel right down on the floor to change the seats into lower berths.

- Hmmm, stockings have to be elastic to take strain like that.

- Other things are hard on them, too. Like serving meals.

- You mean sandwiches and so on?

I don't like traveling. Makes me homesick. If I can't see the same old streets when I open my eyes in the morning, I want to go right back to sleep.
Oh, yes, my dear. Your hotel bores me. The headwaiter looks like an undertaker and every time I step into this apartment it looks more like a funeral parlor.
It is a perfect face for your job. To look that false is almost the equivalent of being honest.
You're so quiet. -I'm looking at you. I can't speak when I do that.
They can't keep me here! I'm free! Free to go! I'm sick of it! All of you. I'm sick of listening to you. And I'm sick of looking at you.
