Osgood Courts Daphne, Explained：more than you can shake a stick at

At the Florida hotel the girls find a lobby full of millionaires, and one of them, Osgood, promptly falls for Daphne. He admires her ankle, hints at his divorces, and invites her out; she tries to shake him, telling him, "You're barking up the wrong fish"—a joking twist on the usual saying.

あらすじ

The band lands at a Florida hotel packed with wealthy older men. Osgood Fielding III introduces himself to Daphne, compliments her ankle, and tells her about his many marriages and his yacht back home. She deflects him with a joke about fishing, but he insists on driving her around the park—and later a bellhop tries the same move.

「Osgood Courts Daphne」を読み解く

What's really going on

The scene plays Daphne's disguise as a magnet for the wrong attention. Osgood isn't a threat; he's lonely, polite, and completely convinced, which makes his pursuit funnier the harder Daphne pushes back. Her best line, "You're barking up the wrong fish," is a botched version of a common idiom, and it lands because Osgood really has been talking about deep-sea fishing. Meanwhile Josephine is coaching Sugar away from her old weakness—"Forget it, Sugar. Forget saxophone players"—and toward a rich husband, while the bellhop's clumsy pass proves the disguise works on everyone. The irony is baked in: the more successfully the men flirt, the more dangerous the situation gets.

Theme

DeceptionDaphne's disguise works almost too well: millionaires and bellhops alike fall for her, and every admiring line depends on the lie holding.
RomanceSugar's search for a rich husband and Osgood's instant courtship frame love as a transaction, while Josephine quietly steers Sugar to a better "catch."

このチャプターで学べること

  • A pun can refuse someone and flatter them at once.
  • The old man hears no rejection at all.
  • Miami money is the scene's real backdrop.

発音のポイント

  • packed me off — The d in packed nearly vanishes before me, blurring into pack-me.
  • pull in your — Pull in your runs together, sounding almost like pull-in-yer.
  • 'em... big — 'Em is them with the th dropped, a very common spoken form.
More millionaires than you can shake a stick at.

The girls sizing up the hotel: there are so many rich men that counting them is pointless, and the line turns the lobby into a buffet of prospects.

If there's one thing I admire, it's a girl with a shapely ankle.

Osgood's opening move—a flattering but oddly specific compliment that shows how harmless and eccentric he is.

You're barking up the wrong fish.

Daphne's botched version of "barking up the wrong tree," meaning he's pursuing the wrong person. The slip to "fish" is funny because Osgood was just talking about fishing.

I've been married seven or eight times.

Osgood says it casually, as if it were an ordinary fact, which is the joke: his wealth and charm come with a long, vague marital history.

Fascinating. Do you use a bow, or do you just pluck it?

Osgood's sincere curiosity about how Daphne plays the bass—he's genuinely interested, and the question lands as both polite and slightly suggestive.

このシーンについての質問

Why does Osgood fall for Daphne so fast?

He's a wealthy eccentric who chases showgirls and actresses, and Daphne is new, pretty, and willing to joke with him. He isn't suspicious by nature, which is exactly why the disguise holds.

What does Daphne's "barking up the wrong fish" line mean?

It's a slip on "barking up the wrong tree," meaning he's chasing the wrong person. It's funnier because Osgood had just been describing his yacht and deep-sea fishing, so the mistake almost sounds intentional.

Is Daphne encouraging Osgood at all?

Mostly she's being polite to avoid a scene. She accepts a little help and small talk, then dodges his dinner invitation and tries to walk away, though he keeps following her.

What is Josephine telling Sugar to do?

To give up saxophone players and aim for a rich young husband instead. She promises Sugar will meet a millionaire, and it's clearly a setup for a plan of her own.

Why does the bellhop flirt with Daphne?

Because the disguise convinces him completely. He treats Daphne as a fellow hotel employee, offers to share hidden gin after his shift, and then invites himself into her room.
