This video excerpt, from The Music Man, is a fair facsimile of Girl Talk Hell, with the exception that, as you can see, Robert Preston is able, eventually, to go away; not an option in Girl Talk Hell.
If those men in that barbershop quartet were talking about football instead of politely singing "Goodnight Ladies," this would be exactly what the place I work is like . . . except that Robert Preston gets to go away, and my livelihood rests amid the menace.
"Balzac!" indeed.
