She makes her way to Hollywood and Megga-Phone's office, where she discovers a whole flock of hens with the same card and a completely uncaring Megga-Phone. She returns home to faithful Clem, and a chick with foolish notions.

Emily later impersonates Garbo. With a moody look on her face, she puts on the deep Garbo voice and says, “Please go away - I want to be alone.”
