When father gets his shirt back it is so full of holes he feels like a sponge. Ammonia is supposed to serve dinner. Thus the madam of the house a la Goldberg: "By the time she brings dinner we'll either starve to death or die of old age." Well, Ammonia gets the B.R. (Bum's Rush) and would ordinarily starve. But not Ammonia. She gets hooked up with a guy who's taking a motion picture and who needs "a girl with a face like something that was started but never finished." He tells her, "You must first start posing as a hamburg steak. Just look perfectly natural." And Ammonia leaps into fame. Her old mistress hasn't heard from her and imagines she has walked off a dock. Then "the poor, clumsy boob comes back" fresh from her conquests in filmdom and flashing diamonds in all directions, and madam does a fadeout that would defy any ordinary bottle of smelling salts to bring her to.
