「Sugar Falls for Joe's Millionaire Act」を読み解く

What's really going on

The scene runs on a joke about who is deceiving whom. Sugar thinks she has found a gentleman millionaire, and she is genuinely excited — "He's so cute" — but the audience knows the man is Joe, the same person she is telling the story to. Jerry, as Daphne, is outraged at the sheer cynicism of it, calling it a millionaire act and the meanest kind of trick. The comedy then doubles back when Osgood, who is pursuing Daphne, calls to invite her onto his yacht. Joe seizes the opening: he will take the yacht and Sugar, and leave Daphne ashore to keep Osgood busy. It is a scheme that solves Joe's romance and dumps the cost on his friend, which is why the closing "Not tonight, Josephine" lands.

Theme

DeceptionSugar falls for a millionaire who is really Joe in disguise, and the scene lets the audience enjoy the double deception she cannot see.
RomanceSugar's excitement is genuine — she thinks she has finally found the man she was looking for — which makes Joe's scheme both funny and a little cruel.

このチャプターで学べること

  • Sugar's excitement sets up the evening's mix-up.
  • Daphne seizes a date meant for someone else.
  • A famous refusal line hides inside a joke.

発音のポイント

  • Answer the — Answer the runs together, almost like anser-the.
  • taken care of — The t in taken flaps to a d and links straight into care.
  • gonna be — Gonna be often blurs into gon-be at speed.
Well, I'm not gonna let this one get away. He's so cute.

Sugar has decided on Shell Oil Junior: after a lifetime of losing men, she is determined not to lose this one, and her reason is simply that she likes him.

Now, Joe, you're gonna get hurt because when I'm aroused, I'm a tiger.

Jerry's mock threat to Joe; the joke is that Jerry, the reluctant partner, is now the fierce one defending Sugar's feelings.

Tell her I'd like her to have a little supper with me on my yacht, after the show tonight.

Osgood's invitation to Daphne, delivered over the phone; it sets up the yacht that Joe will end up using for his own date with Sugar.

Shell Oil Junior. He's got millions, he's got glasses, he's got a yacht.

Sugar's checklist for the perfect man, all three boxes ticked at once; the joke is that the ideal man is Joe wearing a fake accent.

No. I'm going to be on the boat with Sugar.

Joe's blunt correction to Daphne's assumption: he is not sending Daphne on the date, he is using the yacht to take Sugar himself.

このシーンについての質問

Who is Shell Oil Junior?

He is really Joe in disguise. Joe invents the millionaire playboy — glasses, yacht, fake accent — to charm Sugar, and she has no idea the man she is describing to him is him.

Why is Jerry so angry with Joe?

Because the disguise has crossed a line. Jerry calls Joe's plan the meanest kind of trick, played on a girl who trusts him, and for a moment he threatens to fight him over it.

What does Joe plan to do with Osgood's yacht?

He takes Osgood up on the invitation but sends Sugar in Daphne's place, so he can spend the evening with Sugar on the boat while Daphne keeps Osgood ashore.

What does "fat chance" mean?

It means there is no chance at all — the opposite of what the words suggest. It is used here to reject the idea of Daphne going along with the plan.
