[REAL-ESTATE AGENT]
Land boom!
With a double whammy, boy!
Land boom!
Profits this thick!
Land boom!
Down around Miami, boy-
The weather's kinda clammy
But it's get rich quick!

Brand-new communities
Just take your pick
Lots of opportunities-
All you need is capital
A little does the trick
Beg or steal or borrow
It'll double by tomorrow
Only get your ass to Florida
And get rich quick!

(Train whistle sounds.)

(The bed has been transformed into a railway compartment. In it sits the Handsome Young Man from the opening number. Addison enters. The Handsome Young Man is revealed to be Hollis Bessemer.)

[HOLLIS BESSEMER, spoken]
I have an aunt. Two hours before the train left I found out she was stopping in Palm Beach
[ADDISON, spoken]
Palm beach?

[HOLLIS, spoken]
Tiny town, middle of nowhere. Nothing there but a monstrosity of a hotel. She's looking for a place to build a house

[ADDISON, spoken]
Really?
A house?

[HOLLIS, spoken]
I sent her a telegram, begged her to wait for me-

[ADDISON, spoken]
Friendly refuge till the storm clouds clear, eh?

[HOLLIS, spoken]
No, it's more than that. I need her help

[ADDISON, spoken]
With what?
...if you'd rather not-

[HOLLIS, spoken]
No! No, I'll tell you
