Sugar Dreams of a Rich Husband, Explained：the natives are getting restless
In the berth, Sugar tells Josephine she is done with being unlucky — "I'm tired of getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop" — and explains her plan: go where the millionaires winter and marry one. Her only requirement is that he has a yacht, a private rail car, and his own toothpaste. Then the girls' ice-and-tickling game nearly exposes Josephine.
あらすじ
On the train, Sugar confides in Josephine, the new bass player. She says she is tired of her luck and has a plan: winter in Florida, where rich men gather, and marry one. She does not care how rich he is as long as he has a yacht and his own toothpaste. Later, the band's party turns into ice and tickling, and Josephine barely survives being found out.

What's really going on
Sugar's monologue is funny, but it is also the film's clearest statement of what she wants. She has been hurt by men who borrow money, bet on horses, and vanish, leaving "a pair of old socks and a tube of toothpaste, all squeezed out." So she has turned the search for love into a shopping list: a yacht, a private railroad car, his own toothpaste. The joke is that she thinks a specific type of man will solve the problem, and Josephine — actually Joe — listens while wearing a dress. Sugar's line "I'm tired of getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop" is not just a complaint; it is a decision. And the ice scene that follows shows how thin the disguise really is: one tickle and the whole plan could collapse.
Theme
MoneySugar turns romance into a checklist of wealth — a yacht, a private rail car, his own toothpaste — tying love directly to money.

このシーンについての質問
What exactly is Sugar looking for in Florida?
A rich husband. She wants a man with a yacht, a private railroad car, and his own toothpaste, and she says men who wear glasses are gentler and more helpless.
Why does Sugar say she gets the fuzzy end of the lollipop?
Because saxophone players keep using her and leaving. She describes them borrowing her money, betting on horses, and vanishing, until all that is left is old socks and an empty tube of toothpaste.
What does "the natives are getting restless" mean?
It is a joking way of saying the guests are getting impatient. Here it is about the ice not arriving fast enough, which is what kicks off the party and the tickling.
How does the ice-tickling scene almost expose Josephine?
The girls rub ice on Josephine's neck and tickle her. She screams "Not the chest!" and calls for help, and only quick talking and a claimed case of hiccups keep the disguise from falling apart.
