==Part 2== Watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwx9qP2MyTM ''The Big Street'', Part 2] on YouTube The next scene starts in Little Pink's (Fonda's) apartment where he is nailing up yet another picture of Miss Gloria Lyons (Lucy). "She's kinda like my ideal", he says. To which Violette (Agnes Moorehead) responds, "She's Case Able's sweet pea and I don't want any part of him." We learn that Little Pinks has lost his job over what happened. Coming knocking is Nicely Johnson who evidently knows Little Pinks, but has really come calling to see Violette because he's enamoured over her ability to eat as much as he does. Nicely has also come to tell Little Pink's to "see Miss Gloria Lyons on the double-quick in reference to the payroll." Little Pinks rushes out and now Nicely and Violette makes some small talk including, "Would you like to come upstairs and see my...kitchen?" Now we cut to the nightclub where Gloria Lyons (Lucy) is performing the song ''Who Knows?'' (dubbed by Martha Mears). We now are introduced to Mr Decatur Reed a wealthy playboy who fancies to meet Gloria. Case Abels noticing this eludes an air of jealousy. The waiter makes it clear to Mr Reed however that Lucy is a girl "strictly interested in a higher income bracket" and so sure to be interested. Now we cut backstage to Gloria's dressing room where she informs Little Pinks that she's now gotten him a job at that club. Then in walks another blonde very upset that Gloria was making eyes at Decatur Reed, "That's my special little pond so you keep your light out, or I'll scratch out your pretty little eyes." To which Gloria responds, "This is '''really''' absurd", in a very condescending tone. "Get her!", says the blonde, predating drag queens everywhere by a few decades, "making out like she's a duchess. Well listen your highness, I've got a left jab that will knock your royal teeth out!" The blonde now flounces out of the room. After she is gone Gloria says, "That dame is a lump of mud." Henry, taking a cue, now starts calling Gloria "Your Highness" but of course with awe not scorn. This scene alone is '''worth watching this movie to see'''. Now we cut to Little Pinks, paying to send flowers to Gloria, but he doesn't sign the card because "she would think I was silly sending her flowers." Violette (Agnes Moorehead) knows that Little Pinks is in love with Gloria and thinks he's being foolish, "You can't get near her without a million bucks". Gloria thinks the flowers came from Decatur Reed. Her black maid thinks she's leading Decatur on, "But you don't love him honey." To which Gloria replies, "Don't give me that love hooey, love is something that gives you one room, two chins and three kids." "A girl's best friend is a dollar."
