Don and Jack talk about the strings that had to be pulled to get tickets to the Rosebowl game. Phil arrives and is teased about his drinking, and the members in his band. Mary tells how Dennis suddenly has a crush on her, and the little ways he has of showing it. The love stuff is interupted when Jack complains about an award that Fred Allen has won. Dennis sings, I Love You for Sentimental Reasons.
Mr Kitzel pops in with greetings for the New Year, and gratitude over the gift he got from Jack for Christmas. Mary takes the show into flashback mode to set the scene for Bogie and Bacall to make their appearance. Lauren Bacall was to rehearse at Jack’s house, and he has Rochester help in making a big impression. Somehow she gets in a plug for the sponsor, and Jack nails it when he said, “F.E. Boone never sounded like that.”
Jack and Lauren read their lines, and all goes well, until the kissing scene. Phil Harris barges in, followed closely by Bogie. Will Jack get through that kissing scene? Bogie has his own agenda for letting Jack go as far as he does with his wife. Will he have any pointers for Jack? Why should Lauren have all the fun? Mary gets in on the recieving end of a kiss from Bogie. What’s Jack so riled up for? What does he want? A kiss from Bogie too? Dennis manages to enter and ruin all the fun by scaring Bogie away.
