My royal day can be a royal bore.
It needs me colder than a basement floor.
The only moment I keep waiting for is when the day will be through.
So I never notice if it's dark or clear
what people say to me. I hardly hear
the passing hours are an endless year. Until at last time. Along with
every night at seven,
you walk in as fresh as clover and I begin to sigh all over again.
Every night at seven,
come by like me returning at me. Oh my. I start in yearning again.
You seem to bring far away string.
Hear me?
I always am
when you're in the room for every night at seven,
every time. The same thing happens. I fall once again in love, but only with you
three nights
at
seven.
On
same
thing happens. I for once
but on.
And you
may I say your performance was a bit ragged. You were so slow going around the throne.
I almost caught you. The audience seemed delighted.
It's so hot in New York in the summertime. I'm glad we're closing tomorrow night.
Wonder what happened to the air conditioning,
Mr Hiller probably turned it off to save money.
How would you blot my
face too.
Shut up here.
Who is
the house manager?
You ought to know that you've been playing his dinner for the past year and a half?
Oh, is that, that? He's a little man who comes around and pinches?
That's your
sister.
All I can say is let Mr Hiller keep his air conditioning.
You can't take it with him and where he's going, he'll need it.
Oh
boy, it's hot.
Say if ever I play a king again,
I'm gonna be one of those Asiatic boys who just wears earrings in a sheet.
Hey, what's your hurry,
Pete?
Hi.
I'm
sorry to keep you waiting. You know my brother to,
don't you? No, I don't believe I've had the pleasure. All right, I'm fine, sir.
And thank you for asking. I'll be out in 50 my p You look so nice and cool.
Make yourself at home, won't you sit down anyway?
Oh, how was it, sir? Hot.
Oh, your agent stopped by to see you, sir. Irving.
What brought him out this clammy night?
He didn't say he just told me to tell you it was imperative that you
and Miss Ellen meet him at mcguffey's bar next door right after the performance.
Oh,
Ellen.
Yeah,
Irving wants us to meet him at mcguffey's. Ok.
How'd you like Pete? Isn't he cute? He's from the south.
No.
Why Ellen? Honey? I never would have guessed it.
He owns miles and miles of tobacco land in Virginia and you ought to hear him chant.
I met him two days ago and he
to Swan's house and I'm simply mad about him. Is that all? That's all Roger
Miss
Van
seems quite taken, doesn't she?
This will probably be one of those long affairs that drags on a whole day
overseas concerns. The royal wedding in London,
the British capital is already festive and happy in anticipation of the wedding,
which is still several weeks off.
As for the princess,
the most closely guarded secret in England since radar is her wedding gown,
the princess herself will see it for the first time this weekend.
Chester. Other news at
Miami, Florida, a new tropical hurricane seems to be approaching. Can I talk now?
Yes.
You know Mr
Bug,
I dance in Trafalgar Square the day her grandfather was married.
I'd give anything to be there again. This fall, wouldn't you?
Yes, I like weddings provided. Of course, they're not mine. Oh, man,
are very healthy son. You say married men live much longer than bachelors.
If that's true,
they're only trying to outlive their wives so they can be bachelors again.
Haven't you ever thought of getting married? So once, as a matter of fact, I did,
but the young lady changed her mind at the last moment.
I've been deeply indebted to her ever since.
Good. Not Justin
Gee, I wonder what Irving was. I hope it's something that,
gosh, what a Muslim is like some men.
Oh, it's not
all us to back them in. Get kind of strong. What?
Wrong lifting money
come now. It wasn't that good.
Good night.
Good night. Good
night.
He's the only stage doorman. I know who isn't called pop.
I couldn't wait for you backstage tonight. What is with that heat over there?
Who needs it? So, how was the show? The first act was a little Dull Boat. How are you?
You look so sweet tonight.
Ok. Come on order. I got those big news.
Well, how do you do Mr Cumber?
It's a great pleasure. Thank you, sir. That's better.
Now, who is this square friend? Tom Collins, please
hit me with a rush. Shall I give it to you?
This will kill you. My brother Edgar called tonight from England.
He's the head of our London office. Been there for years.
Anyhow, the Mayfair Theater people want you a whole show for London.
No, but quick they want you there during the wedding season,
England during the wedding.
I like that all the time.
Does this mean you'll believe in me
as soon as possible?
Of course, you got to rehearse the English cast first hit me, son.
What about transportation?
Well, there's some French boat leaving a week from next Monday. Which one?
Who knows what the name it's in? French? Don't worry, I'll get you on it. Ellen.
This means we'll be saying goodbye in 10 days.
Oh,
yes.
I'm
so
happy
Ellen.
Oh, hello.
I was waiting for you backstage. That's why I'm late. I'm sorry, Ellen.
Who is this fellow? Finish your drink, Pete? Did you hear the good news?
We're going to England and we're going to be there during the wedding.
What are you doing here, sir? What do you mean? What am I doing here? Who's he?
What are you doing here, sir? I demand an answer. Fill your favors. Will you?
When do you leave? That's an insult. What's an, so what's the matter with you?
You're not
me?
I forgot all about dick. What are you
with me?
I think we ought to start packing.
I'll have to buy
all my
clothes
before
I
go.
I'll send the rest of the company over the week after you leave. I wonder,
I don't know. Pay the man, will you?
Yes, sure. How much do we owe you? May I? Yes and keep the chain.
Yeah,
I have a little business to take care of. I'll meet you on deck. Ok, sister, dear.
Hello, Billy. This is goodbye.
Thanks for coming down to see me all. It's hard saying goodbye like this.
After all, we've been to each other. I know it's been a lovely three days,
but I'll be back soon. Oh,
dear. I must go now. May I walk you up the Gangplank?
I'd rather you wouldn't,
you understand?
No,
it's just better that way.
Write to me, Billy. I will. Goodbye Ellen.
I'll miss you very much, Linda.
I can tell you that knowing you these past few weeks has
been one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me.
To me too, John.
Hey
Ellen, honey,
I
thought I went to the wrong day. We had
much
time
really. And I had so much to say why?
Well, you're gonna be away. Yes, I know people
and suddenly knowing you're going to be away makes me realize my feelings for you.
So I thought I'd, I mean
Ellen, honey,
visitors as
you have to go now. Good bye
to
say
I will, I can tell you,
Barbara that knowing you these past few weeks has been one
of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me.
Oh Mr John.
Good bye baby.
I know you'll be a smash.
Now if you want anything, ask my brother Edgar,
he's gonna meet you at the hotel so long.
Tillerson happens along. Ellen. Move
along
party.
Hello.
What?
Right.
That
girl don't give me
a,
that's fine.
Thank you.
I'm betting 8 to 5 on the Dixie board.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. This is hot.
Oh,
sure.
You
go.
What a beautiful, beautiful day, isn't it one?
We don't know our soul on the boat and we can have fun together for a change. Yeah.
Good day. Good
day.
Well, I don't know him, Tom.
I,
I don't,
I want to ride a letter. Ok, baby. Don't forget we've got to rehearse.
What time shall I meet you? Two
sharp in the gym. I won't keep you long. I'll be
there. Don't worry.
Don't be late.
Good day.
There's carbon paper in the middle drawer. If you want to make duplicates.
I'm not writing a letter.
I was just doodling waiting for an opportunity to introduce myself.
Uh My name is Brindle, Lord John Brindle.
Then. What's yours? Bowen? Duchess, Agatha. Bowen. Oh, no, not really. What is it?
Let's see now. Ebe, is that
eel?
Wait a minute,
Bowen. Why? Of course you're Ellen Bowen, aren't you? You're doing fine.
It's very stupid of me. I should have known.
Well, I saw your show a few weeks ago.
Please forgive me.
Oh, that's all right.
I know you have a lot on your mind.
Oh, I can explain those two little episodes that you witnessed yesterday. Oh,
you can. Yes, then go ahead.
Go ahead.
Well, you see, they're both terribly nice girls and they're both so fond of me that I,
well, I couldn't bear depriving either one of them and
well, you know how it is in order to be kind to people, one has to be a very,
very good liar.
Tell me, why were you following me following you? Why I was doing no such thing?
I was only saying goodbye to a couple of
the same.
Yeah.
Does this sort of thing happen to you very often all the time and you constantly,
I guess we're both too kind to people.
I have to get stamped.
Do you live in New York?
No, I've been there on business for some time,
but I'm just going home now for the wedding.
The royal wedding. Yeah.
You're going to the wedding.
Well, I'm escorting someone. Yes.
Well, you really are a Lord, aren't you? I'm afraid so. My, my,
haven't you ever met anyone who held a title before? Only Joe Lewis?
You know, I'm very glad that you're Ellen Bowen.
What? No, because it means that chap you're with is your brother not your husband.
Do you know what I did last night? No.
What I surveyed this whole boat and I discovered
that you were the most attractive girl on boat.
Well, thank you. And I kept thinking that
what a pity it is. She's married
because that's gonna make things terribly awkward,
but it isn't gonna be awkward at all. Now,
thanks for the use of the hall person. Not at all.
And if you see my sister on deck, will you tell her I'm waiting for her, please. I will.
I like your boat. Thank you, Monsieur,
Monsieur
Boen. I have a favor to ask
only every crossing. You know, we have a gala benefit for the visible seamen.
And I was wondering if you and your sister would dance for us on that night.
Oh, we'd love to just tell us when just one number would be sufficient.
We don't want to ask you no trouble at all. I know it's an imposition to ask you too.
But I would feel so we'd love to. Don't worry, we'll do it
as a fellow that won't take yes, for an answer.
Oh, fine. Thanks for showing up at rehearsals. 00, John, this is my brother Tom. Tom.
This is John. How do you do? Glad
to know you. I just picked up John in the writing room so I gather he's a real Lord.
Oh, it's nothing at
all.
Miss
Cable. Oh, thank you. Excuse me, please.
Oh, Tom
Thomas compete
says he's very blue except for his eye which is black.
Uh Let's forget Pete for this trip. Shall we?
Excuse us?
Yeah, it looks a little
dim
out there,
doesn't it?
Yeah,
your
boy,
I'm wondering if you and your sister would
dance side away instead of waiting until 1030.
We're a little afraid of the weather. You mean it might be a little rocky?
Yes, but that won't bother us. We can handle it.
Thank you. Miss any time you say I better take
my dream.
You sky up on
us.
Love
it more.
I
of J
around us,
right?
Thank you
to
see
and
Terry
A
we can handle it. All
right.
What do we do now?
Keep your balance? Oh, sure.
I'm so sorry
fs
behind
us.
What
isn't it? Wonderful, Tommy. It sure. Is.
Hello.
Yes.
Oh, sure. Yes. Yeah. Two. Come on up. Room 2, 1112 and 14.
Ok.
Who is that? Edgar Klinger. Irving's brother. He's coming up.
Oh, I'm so happy Tommy.
I
wonder what the princess is doing this morning?
Why don't you call her and ask her?
I wonder what I'd be doing a month before my wedding.
Probably trying to figure a way to get out of it.
Do you really think so?
You know, you wouldn't. So would I,
how'd you do? I'm Edgar Klinger.
Oh,
we didn't know that Irving and I were twins. No, we didn't. I must say.
But he should have told you, you know, after all, this is a pretty box of pickles.
May I come in?
Of course. I'm sorry.
How do you do? I'm so happy to meet you at long last. My, it's amazing. Yes, it is.
Rather, isn't it? I do hope the rooms are satisfactory. Oh, they're fine.
It's a miracle. You get them. Yes. Quite. The wedding has packed things up a bit. But
then there are ways. How's everything at the theater? Oh, seems to be humming.
The dancers are coming to audition this afternoon. The singers tomorrow.
Excuse me, please.
Hello.
Oh, hello, Johnny. How are you? Ellen's Boat? Romance. John Brindle.
Do you know him? I
know the family very old but they do say that young John is a
bit of a chaser and didn't have to chase very hard after Ellen,
she stood still and waited
this afternoon.
No, they're auditioning all day. Just a minute. Tom,
you don't need me this afternoon. Do you?
John wants me to drive down and see his old country home with him?
Well, I suppose it's all right.
But I should think you'd want to come along and see who you're working with.
Well, I never notice anyone but you,
John, I want you home for dinner
and no dates at night until after we open.
You'll come strolling in at four
in the morning and be all tired up next day.
Yes. Papa.
It's all set.
What time will you pick me up?
Ok, I'll be ready. Bye, Johnny
Michel.
We
yeah,
I'll see you at seven and be back. Oh, I will, I will
chill. Goodbye Edgar.
And if there's anything you need do call. Thank you off to you.
Tell me old boy, how are things in the colonies these days? Oh, fine, fine.
These English clothes are terrific. Frightfully amusing. Time. What? Yeah.
Got a match.
Thanks.
I hear that shaving lotions, great stuff. Do you ever use it
every day?
Sorry,
I thought you were him.
How odd. Thank you.
Well, I must get back to the office. You know where the theater is, don't you? Sure?
Well, I'll see you later. Chito.
Ok.
Hello again.
We should stop following you following you. I'm not a bit flattered.
Mr Brown. I'm Charles Gordon, your stage manager. It's nice to see you.
Everything's ready, sir. I do
see that girl in the green dress near the end, changing her shoes.
Yes,
sir.
Let's begin with her.
They need to show me a few steps.
Your name
is
Ann Ashman. Thank you. Will you begin, please?
Oh,
yes,
Miss Ann Ashman.
Ok.
Could you try a few steps with me, please? Oh, dear.
Can't you dance with a partner? Well, I couldn't till a moment ago. We'll try.
We'll take something easy to start. Uh, may I have a pickup, please?
You should have seen the expression on your face when you saw me.
How did I look as if I were a dentist?
You dance very well. Thank you. I think you'll do fine. Will I really
sure
it's very nice of you not have heard what happened against me. I do a little bit.
What can I do?
You can have dinner with me some night. Well, I should love to.
How about tonight?
Well, I don't know. I,
she'll do fine
pick up at a. Thank you. Who's next?
Is it much further?
No, we're almost there.
Why you look pretty?
I know.
What do you have to do with the house? Get the wedding present.
We sold practically everything at auction except for one set of co pa china plates.
I was supposed to get those when I got married.
Seeing there's precious little chance of that.
We decided to hand them on to the Prince and princess.
Why is a precious little chance?
No, I don't know.
I think you have to enjoy living with yourself
before you have nerve to ask anyone else to
besides, you know how I am.
Oh, here we are.
John is,
I guess it was,
I think they're in here.
Oh, what a wonderful floor to dance on.
Yes.
How long since anyone's lived here, John? Oh, about five years.
No one could afford places like this today. I imagine you miss it terribly.
No, I don't think I do anymore.
I just don't have anything to replace it with.
I say, what time do you have to be back?
Seven sharp.
Oh, I wish you could have dinner with me.
I don't know when I'll get another free evening.
There's some sort of party every night from now on,
can't you?
I don't know.
You know how Tom Is.
Will you try?
Yes, I'll try. Good.
Hello?
Huh.
Back on time. How was the afternoon? Oh, it was wonderful. How are your dancers?
Dancers?
What do you want to do tonight?
Oh,
I'm kind of tired. Elliot. I thought I'd just
skip dinner and go straight to bed. Would you mind? Oh, no, no,
it's a good idea. That country I really knocked me out. Yeah. You sure you don't mind?
Oh, gosh. You know, as a
matter of
fact, I think I'll turn in right now. It's all right with you.
It's a good idea.
Yeah.
It's been a kind of a rough day.
Good night, honey. Good night, Tommy. Sweet dreams.
Plastic.
Good night.
Yeah.
For more coffee.
Thank you.
Yes, Ellie. And I have done quite a few shows together.
You like to dance?
Yes. Yes.
It's hard work. But it's fun.
What made you decide to dance? How a very silly reason.
How silly.
Well, when I was 11 I fell in love for the first time with a boy much older,
1230
his name was Alonso. And
I was so happy that suddenly all I wanted to do was to dance.
So I figured that if I danced and I was happy
I should be happy if I danced.
Is that silly enough?
I think so.
I felt so good about anons.
So I used to close my eyes and pretend I could dance all over the floor walls,
even the ceiling.
If you ever learn to do that, I can get you a very good booking.
You want anything else? No,
let's go.
You better not take me home. Why not? It's a long way.
And besides this is Friday, Friday. I have to stop and see my father.
Oh, I'd like to meet him cabby. All right. What's the address? 150 Mitchell Street,
Gaby. Would you take it to 150 Mitchell Street? Love
to governor. Love
to
wait. Will you please drive her love to the
governor? Love
to
see.
That's my father. He's the proprietor.
00,
I do hope he won't offend you. He's quite impossible. Really?
He and my mother have been separated for three years and
I have to stop here every Friday and get her money.
Why didn't your mother do it?
Well, they're not speaking to each other.
So I used to him mcbride.
Every time you get four drinks under that belt of yours, you become a blooming u
much more. Every time you fall down, you chip a piece out of the bar with your chin.
So I says from now on
Annie, well, my little girl, how are you?
Hello,
Jamie. Tom, this is my father, father. This is Tom.
I know you Mr
Ash.
Please to meet you.
Sir.
Said the royal cup Bowen. I
used to know Willie Bowen. Good old Willie married a girl. We used to know name there.
Gladys Oxley.
I don't think you knew Gladys Danny.
Very happy they were for years then one night, good old relief threw
it right out of the window. Nobody knows why.
But I always figured that there must have been an argument.
I don't suppose you'd be any relation. Why?
No, I don't believe I have any relatives over here over here.
You see, I'm from America, America. America. Get out of my pub, leave the premises.
I'm not on speaking terms of the United States.
How dare you bring another yank to my tavern? I'll see you here. I
wait a second. What's the matter with the United States? Matthew? You owe me money.
You do.
Where did you?
Yeah, look at this. Two pound 10. Run up to your blooming soldiers.
And what did they do?
It? Walked up about 10. I'm not sell your drinks. Now, stop it. J
the, the royal cup.
Well, now I can't allow Anglo American relations to be threatened like this.
I'd like to square that bill. Tom. You shouldn't. Oh, sure. How much is that?
Two pounds? 10.
There you are, sir.
Now there's a gentleman for you. Not at all like that other Yankers
upon.
Yes. Well, now you can just add 10 Bob to that and give it to me for mother.
Has she found out when we go to the palace yet? Or is she keeping it from me?
Three pounds, Jamie.
You see, we sent a little token to the royal. He
is for the wedding.
And according to the papers,
anybody who did are allowed to see the wedding presents.
It's a nice customer. Three pounds, Jamie.
Oh, all right here.
What are you counting for? Don't you trust me?
Just like a mother? No faith. You're five Shillings short. Oh,
that's what you might call a typographical error here.
Thank you. We better go. Good night, Jimmy. Good night, Jerry. Good night, Pal.
Good night buddy to the royal cup.
Thanks.
Looks like mother is still up.
Ever since she and Jamie separated. She can never get to sleep till I get home.
Let's walk him in and get some nice fresh fog.
Who, uh,
who's the Yank? You're so far?
Hr,
it's my health.
You don't sound very happy about it. Oh, I
am.
Really?
Is it a secret? No?
Oh, this is ridiculous. He's in Chicago,
Illinois. He lives there
and you live here.
His, well, if you keep that arrangement after your marriage you'll be very happy.
How long since you've seen him? Oh, about two years. Two years.
And you're still in love with him?
Well, I've never thought of not being,
do you hear from him very often
every few days as a rule?
Oh,
actually I haven't heard from him for two months now, but he's probably been busy.
I wrote to him tonight and told him I was in
your show and asked him to call me opening night.
I assume you have some plans about getting together in the future. Oh, yes.
Are you going over there? Is he coming over here or are you going to meet in the middle?
You see, he works in Ober,
his's department store in Chicago.
Oh, well, well,
as soon as he makes enough to send for me or I make enough to go over there,
we're going to be married.
That's fine.
You,
you don't mind. Do you
mind? What
am I getting mad at? I mean,
I should love to go out with you again. I had an awfully good time.
So did I, of course, I don't mind.
Actually, I'm kind of glad you're all tied up.
Now, we can go out and have fun without any pressure, can't we? Yes,
I guess.
Good night.
Good night, Tom.
Yes, this is New York. We have him on the line.
Mr Irving Klinger.
We're ready with Mr Edgar Klinger in London. Go ahead, please.
Hello. Hello, Ed. This is Irv. How are you? Twins?
Buzzing. Old boy. Simply buzzing.
I got a fast note by email from Tomball this morning. He says everything is Tiff.
Oh, well, that is good news. Tell me. Have you heard from Tom?
No. How are things? Oh, absolutely superb.
I think we should have a fantastic opening night tomorrow night. Fantastic.
What about Ellen Tom? Having trouble keeping her caged up at night?
Oh, no, quite the contrary. She's been frightfully conscientious.
Goes straight home from the theater each night.
Tom is the one who's been romping about Tom.
Ok. What did he do? Catch himself? A chick? No, no, no, Tom's quite well.
He's taken a fancy to some girl of the show. Pretty little thing. She is too.
Hey, Eddie, when I called you back, call me after the opening. Will you?
That light in the wind is gonna be me sitting and waiting. I will. Old boy.
Don't give it a second thought. By the bye.
How's the mater? Oh, mom's fine. Oh, splendid. Do give it a peck on the cheek for me.
I got you d you tomorrow night. Pip. Now,
pip. Now,
dig you.
What's all the commotion about down there?
It's some regiment that hasn't paraded its finery in years.
Gosh,
you can just feel the excitement growing kid after all the wedding is only a week off.
I wonder what the groom is doing this morning.
Why don't you call him and ask him?
Very funny. Well, I thought it was.
What time did you get in last night? Lover boy, around 11, I guess. I don't know.
I didn't pay much attention.
Well, I did. It was around two. Now, you're a busy little man. These P MS aren't you?
We were just having a few laughs. Just a few
laughs. That's all,
huh?
Come in
morning.
Hi, Johnny. What a pleasant surprise. How are you? Hi. Hi John. Hello, Tom.
I thought this was as good a place as any to see the parade. We have a sensation of you.
Oh,
before I forget your tickets for the opening second row ride on the
wonderful, thanks very
much. What time is the parade? We should pass you any minute?
I say Ellen had won. We see you again.
How's the show going?
Just fine.
It's been a long time. I know. Four days.
Look, tomorrow night after the opening, Edgar's giving a party,
you're going with me?
Ok.
Ok. It'll take a little doing though. Why?
Well, there's a huge affair being given and I'm supposed to take someone.
Oh, but you can get out of it, can't you? This is my opening night.
If you don't take me, nobody will.
I've been out with a soul but
the,
I'll get out of it.
You're looking so well, these days.
Thank you.
I think about you, Alex.
What
I say, I think about you.
It's so different from anything I've ever felt before.
Well,
first of all, I'm not interested in anybody or anything. I, do.
You call?
I say that's completely new for me
and I think it is getting very serious.
What a parade.
I've never seen anything like it in my life. Ho.
Oh, is it over? Wait, I'll tell him to come back. Oh, ignore him. Johnny.
I'm so excited about tomorrow night. Come on, girl. What'd you at the theater?
Five minutes ago in a minute.
Do you realize we've only been out at night
together about three times since I've been here?
Well, in, come on just a minute.
What's that? You're playing, Tom? The song?
She's supposed to be rehearsing at the theater now? Oh,
why don't you rehearse it here?
Oh, that's a good idea.
Is that all right with you, Tommy?
All right.
I wake up
more.
It's,
I, wait,
I,
we,
and the Guns
and
Dream of that day
and
East.
I, you,
oh,
my heart.
I swell with fraud.
Mine.
No,
our school
you saw.
Mm.
Holland,
please. Charlie. What time is it,
uh, it's 4 a.m. So
that's enough.
All right. Everybody that'll be all for tonight.
I'm sorry to keep you working so late. What about our last two numbers, Tom?
We don't have to rehearse those. You were fine in them this afternoon.
Yeah, I thought so too.
Joe looks pretty good, doesn't it? Not bad?
And
don't forget tomorrow night,
the opening. How could I?
Oh, yes. Do try to make that. We'd love to have you. No, I'm at afterwards.
Edgar's giving a party. We'll go together. Oh, Tom, I can't,
you can't,
why not Hal is calling you?
Well, that's right.
I forgot all about him.
Well, it doesn't matter.
I wouldn't bother except I haven't heard from him for such
a long time now and I do have to talk to him
taking the bus home tonight.
I'll be right with you.
I'm sorry to.
That's all right. It's all right.
What time tomorrow, sir?
Three
for the company and 11 from this bone and me. Yes.
What
for?
I want to take those two numbers we didn't do tonight.
I thought you were satisfied with them. Still a few rough spots.
Hey, what happened to you? Did you get stood up? What are you talking about?
What a manic depressive life you live?
It's gonna be a marvelous party tomorrow night.
I'm going with John.
Who were you taking?
Seven.
Mhm.
I
don't study.
Where's the key?
Well, you have it.
I have not I gave it to you.
I suppose I'll have to go all the way down to the desk and see if you think nice things,
all doors open to.
Is that your message for the day
hours for me?
I wonder who they're from? Not from me?
Well, that I know who
it's from. John
can't make the opening. You can't,
why? What a shame. I
had a feeling this morning.
He wasn't going to be able to make it, but he just didn't know how to tell me why.
Isn't that terrible? Now? Isn't that terrible?
He's weak and I just hate weak people. Yes, dear.
I know you do up one minute down the next. What, a manic depressive life you lead.
All right. All right. So we're even,
who are you going with tomorrow night?
I don't know.
Well,
why don't you take me? I
think we should go together anyway, don't you?
After all? We're the stars of the show.
Yes. I think we should
miss Bowen. May I escort you to Klinger's clambake tomorrow night?
Why?
I'd be delighted. And what a surprise you're asking me?
Oh, Tommy, let's be terrific. Tomorrow night we'll be cosmic stupendous. A smash.
We hope.
And Ellen don't forget that's still the most important thing.
My time.
I know it is.
Good night. Good night.
Yeah.
Oh, sure,
sure.
Yeah.
So I said it. So you hate it. So you, me. So what, so
since
the
last time I'll ever go to a party with you when you put that, right?
Why are you always making cracks, making cracks? Like what?
You always hum
me? You
hate me?
Didn't your mother never teach you? No, man,
I never had no mother. He was too poor. What's the matter with you lately?
You used to tell me you love me? You used to treat me like a high class
thing.
Well, you,
you, so are you
there? He admitted I ain't admitting nothing.
I'll give you one more chance.
Do you love me or don't you? No, I don't quit. ST
I want a direct answer.
Listen, kid, there's one thing about you. I can't understand.
How could you believe me when I said I loved you when you know,
I've been a liar all my life.
You've had that reputation since you was a youth.
You must have been insane to think. I'd tell you the truth.
How could I believe you when you said we'd married? I know I'd rather hang than have
a.
I know.
I said I'd make you mine now, wouldn't you know that I would go for that old line.
How could you believe me when I said I love you when you know, I've been a liar.
A double crossing liar.
All my dog gone, cheating lying.
You said you would love me, love.
I never
me, be
so faithful. You'd always be me. Why? Baby?
You must be looney to trust a lower than low two timer like me.
You said, I'd have everything
and
a beautiful diamond,
a
bungalow by the sea bungalow.
Yet you're really naive to ever believe a full of baloney pony like me.
You ain't lost nothing. You never had. What about the time you went to Indiana?
I was lying. I was down in
L
A.
You fed you,
you had to complete what I was doing. I would be a cat to repeat.
What about the evenings she was where
your mother?
I was
ring with a nod of honey. Wow.
Oh,
was real baby. Leave us? Not forget that. I'm a heel.
I believe you when you
said you love me. You know, I've been a liar.
Oh, my good for nothing. Life,
I know. I've been a liar.
A
liar.
Daddy,
darling. I just had to come. I just had to
chap with the accent. Him
Brindle.
Ah,
they've become very good friends.
Oh, yes.
Don't you think we should be getting over to Edgars
later, Johnny.
Tonight's my night. And tonight I want to be alone with you
when he didn't show up at the opening. I didn't even feel like going on.
How did you get away from your party?
Oh, I just walked out.
I couldn't stand not being with you tonight.
Ellen.
Ellen. I think we're in love.
Yes, darling. I know.
Well, what are we gonna do about it?
Nothing.
Well, we can't go on in this definite state.
Well, aren't you happy?
Oh, you know, I am. So am I, that's not kid with improvement, huh?
But something might happen.
Like what?
Well, someday you might look over my shoulder and see someone else.
Someone else, yes.
Late not to forget your smile
way. We cling when we've done still
a, not
a, not to forget
they want.
It makes my heart
to read
your,
I know
we
with,
to
get,
I live
when,
yeah,
days
on
in
I
on
and we close the door.
Be the same as I was before.
Honey.
It's true.
No,
just to know how you feel.
Oh, goodness. No.
Do you think he'd mind?
Well,
I imagine if you ever found out to get us a booking
someplace in South Africa just to get me away from you.
Would you forget about me in South Africa?
But how could I
whipped
on?
I,
if I'm
together,
he
bye.
How could
to close the door
be the
same
evil
honey.
Who is it?
It's me, Jamie Tom.
Tommy. My boy, come in. You all closed up for the night.
But it's after two.
But I'm never close for you, Tommy. Boy. Thanks.
The show went very late. Fine. Fine.
I didn't feel like going home straight after the party.
So I thought I'd stop by and say hello. Well, you're just in time.
It was announced we go to see the peasants on Monday.
I was just about to try on my suit for the palace.
I slip into it. You have a look, then you can tell me what you think. Hey.
Sure. Oh. by the way, isn't this Anne's night to visit you?
Yeah.
She was by about an hour ago, picked up her money and stole away like a pickpocket.
Did her call come through from Chicago? Now that blooming brighter never called.
She must be upset. Well, I couldn't see,
I don't know how Annie feels about anything. She's not an easy one to get to know.
Very quiet. She is but deep.
At least I hope she is deep.
Or else she's wasting a lot of her time being quiet.
Well, brace yourself. What do you think?
Do I look like a gentleman,
Jamie? You look like a banker.
But do I look like a gentleman?
It's written all over you.
I got it this afternoon from Percy Monroe last year when he got pneumonia.
The bought it for him to be buried in,
but he recovered.
Well.
My only advice is
if you meet the royal family,
I wouldn't bow too low. Remember? This is a wedding. Not a coming out party.
I see what you mean. I'll watch it.
Are you excited? Excited? No, I'm just scared,
nervous and scared why it's meeting the old crow again.
I haven't clapped eyes on her in three years. I know.
It's funny if it wasn't for this royal wedding. Probably.
I'd never have crossed her. Path again.
I'll tell you what, on Monday, I'll call for you and take you down to meet her.
I'll give you moral support. Now, that's nice of you, Tommy.
Unusually nice of you.
You are a good man. You are.
I don't know what Annie is doing waiting for this knucklehead in
Chicago when she knows a fella like you right here in town.
That's love Jamie.
What about you?
Do? I look like the settling down kind.
Come on, let me out.
Uh,
I'll do the bending. I'm dressed for it.
Thank you, Tommy.
Good night. Pa,
good night, buddy.
Everywhere that beauty goes, you are
everywhere. An orchid rove,
everything that's young and gay.
Brighter than a holiday.
Everywhere. The
Jones
you are.
You're like Paris in April and May,
you're New York on a silvery day
as
we
south, as the sun grows. Fainter. Your light long
when autumn is
and lie Horn and night and Capri
and Cape Cod looking out at the sea.
You're all places that need me breathless
and
all.
You're all the world.
Yeah.
Every night at seven.
Don
in.
Good morning.
Absolutely fantastic. Notices everyone you could stay on for years.
Have you seen the day
that
we're so thrilled? There's been an eight week call at the library.
There's been a what? At the what? The library's old boy?
That's what we call our ticket brokers. They want blocks of seats.
Eight weeks in advance. Why? Didn't you say so?
Oh, Tom. Did you see the one where they say we're brilliant. Where?
Well, Edgar, have you called Irving yet? I'm off to the office now.
I'll take my room
and you sit down with Zack. Will you?
I want you to do a favor for
your
boy. Look,
when you call Irving,
ask him to find out what happened to a boy
who used to work at Ogilvie's department store in Chicago.
His name is uh Hal Raton.
I've written it all down,
right. You are, you do that
and uh don't say anything to anybody about it. Will you?
It should be graveyard, old boy. Graveyard.
Thanks.
This is New York already. London. Mr Irving Klinger is on the line. Hello. Hello,
Irving there,
Edgar here. Hey, Eddie. So how are things buzzing right along? Smash, huh?
So, how are the notices? Wizard, old boy? Wizard? That bad, huh? No,
no, no, no, wizard. Wizard. Oh, wizard.
Yes.
Now, look, Tom wants you to follow up on a chap named Hal Raton.
A
Yton.
Hr what does he do? A single Mr Raton is not in the theatrical profession.
He ain't a theater. So who needs him?
It's a personal matter of Tom's.
Now I last heard from Mr Raton was
employed at Ogilvie's department store in Chicago.
Ogilvy's Digger.
I'll throw the hassle to our Chicago branch.
Have the whole mess in your lap in a fast two days. No, no, that won't be necessary.
Just follow up on the rating matter and let us know Mitch. I just said
pip now. 00, yes. Uh, uh, dig you.
Oh,
there's Jamie Foyer.
Wouldn't, you know, he'd be late even to the premise. I take it easy.
Mother, maybe the traffic was heavy. It's not the traffic. It's Jamie.
Ever since I told him I don't like to be kept waiting. He's been keeping me waiting.
You know, mother, there's an old Spanish proverb which goes,
he who does not love the faults of his loved one does not love at all.
That may be well and good for the Spanish, but I'm English.
Do you know what I think? No dearie. I think he's all excited about seeing you.
Do you think? So? How do I look as elegant as can be
Tommy? Tell him he's going too fast. Driver. Could you slow down a little? Yes, sir.
What do you say to step up and have a quick one there to the health of the royal
ce? In fact, Jamie, we're not stopping.
Well, tell him to go a little slower. You can't go any slower and don't be so nervous.
Now, when you see her, be sure you act like the gentleman, you look like I will.
But if she says one word
Elis
to I hit her on the head with his cat, you'll do nothing of a car. Here we are.
Stop here, driver,
you walk the rest of the way.
Come on now. Don't, don't lose your nerve. Get in there. Go on.
Hello, Jamie. Good day, Shad.
Jamie.
Your suit's handsome,
handsome. Thank you.
I'm, I'm sorry, I'm late. The traffic was heavy today. I told the cabby to go
fast as he could.
Shall we go? Allow me, Jamie? Don't,
I knew that. Hold, there are some days when you can do nothing wrong.
Do you think they'll stay together?
Sure.
I hope so for them. As well as for me,
I could never have let mother work
now. You can get married and forget about it.
Yes.
Yeah.
Good evening.
I have the information you requested regarding Mr Ray.
Oh, why? Well, it's nothing terribly exciting. Mr Raton still works at Ogilvie's.
He's still in the luggage department.
He used to live in Chicago proper, but not long ago,
he and his wife moved to Evans's wife.
He was married several months ago.
My, my, my, I say, who's this chap? Anyway?
Uh, he was engaged to a girl on the show. I was just finding out about him for her.
Oh, I say that's frightful.
Yes, isn't it?
Well, what are you so pleased about?
I always smile when I'm heartbroken.
I better tell her not now,
don't you think you should wait till after the performance?
It would seem kinder.
Maybe you're right,
Edgar. You're a real pal. I'd stick up for you any time. Well, thanks old chef.
That's frightfully decent. Of you to say,
well, if you'll excuse me. All right.
Well,
I shall be around to pick you up early tomorrow morning. What's tomorrow?
Why the royal wedding?
And I shall take you someplace where you'll see all the pageantry. Great
second act.
Right.
I left my hat
in Haiti
in some forgotten flat in Haiti.
I
couldn't tell you how I got there.
I only know it was so hot there.
She took my hat
hole, I think
and while her arms around me tightly,
but I remember nothing clearly
except the flame. When she came near me, her arm
hath the fire of surrender
and her touch. It was 10.
And I guess in the ma
what is that?
You forget about your hats or if you go
paid
there is a girl I
owe in pain.
If you can find her, you'll adore her.
Just look around till you find someone who has a blue
gray.
I think of that gorgeous creature when I'm old
whenever I do from down inside the car,
our
that son of a gun in Haiti
has got the prettiest hat I own.
And when it is bleak and chilly and life is flat.
I think of that Haitian deli
and think I better go get my hat.
Thank
you.
I left my hands
in Haiti
in some forgotten flat in Haiti.
I can tell you how I got.
I only know it was so
hard
but I remember nothing clearly.
Except the flame when she came.
And I guess
I
a, the,
in
that
Alan
Allen
got anybody to take you home.
Good,
good night, Mr Bowen night.
And
I have something to tell you is,
I hope you won't think I've butted in where I shouldn't have.
But Jamie told me your friend didn't call. Oh, I didn't ask. He told me,
I don't quite know why I did it, but I decided to try and find out what happened to him.
Did you?
Yes, I did. When,
and
he's married.
Matted.
I'm sorry?
How wonderful.
How it's simply wonderful.
Oh, Tom.
All it was nothing.
And yet I've been worrying myself to death over him on
account of you and he's been married all the time,
isn't it?
Wonderful.
What do you mean on account of me,
on account of me being in love with you and you being in love with me?
I'm in love with you. Well, aren't you?
Yeah.
What a mess.
The next thing that happens, we'll be thinking about getting married.
I'm thinking about it right now.
There you see.
Well, don't you want to mad
at me?
Yes, I do.
And it isn't you? It's marriage.
I'm afraid I couldn't be married and make it go.
But
I've been living one way too long with me. It's always been work.
Everything else has just been a side issue.
It isn't because I don't want to. It's just that, I,
I don't know if I could change.
I am.
I know I'd be an awful flop as a husband.
Do you understand that?
I think I do tell.
What do we do?
Perhaps you better take me home
a to,
I'm gonna disagree with one thing.
What's that?
I think you'd make a marvelous husband.
You do?
Yes, I do. Tom.
Hi.
You're back early.
It isn't early.
I thought it was.
Well, it isn't,
it's late,
is it?
Hm.
I didn't say anything.
Tom John wants to marry me.
He does.
That's funny.
Well, it might be to you, but it's terribly serious to him.
He's very much in love with me and he said he's
found a new faith in everything all on account of me.
How do you feel,
ah,
very constructive?
I never thought I'd live to see the day you'd
inspire anybody to do anything but slug it out.
All right. Go ahead. Make fun of me.
I'm sorry,
you really are involved this time, aren't you?
You have to hear
what are you gonna do?
I don't know.
I was rather hoping you'd make up my mind for me like you usually do.
It. Sure is funny.
Why do you keep saying that when it isn't funny at all? It's very important.
I know it is.
I only meant, it's funny because
Ann wants me to marry her.
She does
my gosh.
It sure is funny, isn't it? Why?
Well, I don't know. It's just funny. That's all.
What's so funny about someone wanting to marry me? I have a few good points. You know,
Tommy.
Are you really in love with her
up to here?
Well,
I wonder what would happen if we just threw over
all our principles and went ahead and got married anyway.
You'd stay here in England with John. Why would I stay here?
You can't go traipsing all over the world and leave your husband at home.
What kind of a marriage would that be?
I suppose not.
Well,
what would you do? I'd marry Anne and no, no, I mean, who would you dance with?
Well, I never thought of that. Not having you. I might try Anne if she wants to.
She loves to dance and shows a lot of promise.
Do you really think so? Yeah,
I thought she was a little awkward myself.
So, were you when you started?
I know it, but it takes years to build a good dean.
You've always said that and there's a lot of excitement in doing it.
Well, it just isn't fair Tommy, but isn't,
I'm getting the short end of the stick.
You want me to settle back and get out of the way
while you go off with someone else and have all the fun.
I think it's rotten. You, Tommy's simply rotten.
I, the last, I think he's been so perfect. We've had a wonderful life together.
We've been very successful.
How can you even consider breaking it up and breaking it up for what? To get married.
Oh, no. Tom. Marriage is a tough business. Oh, you know what, I've
always,
obligations are home to take care of. Maybe Children to look after.
Imagine being married to someone you're dancing with.
If either the marriage or the dancing doesn't work out. Both of them. Go ka fluey.
Oh, no, no. Thomas. It's a terrible chance to take.
It. Is, isn't it? We mustn't do it. We've slaved too hard to get where we are.
Why should we give it up? It does seem foolish, doesn't it?
We're a team and a darn good one. We ought to stay that way. Maybe you're right.
Of course. I'm right.
Oh, you do see it, don't you, Tommy? Sure. I see it.
It's you and me just like it's always been.
I'm sure we're doing the right thing.
Thank you so much for deciding for me.
Forget it.
I
love.
Yeah.
In every way
out.
I,
what a lovely day for a wedding. Happy. Are we to say?
What a lovely day
for a wedding? Lovely. In every way, the royal God is off the golden drink. It's got,
it's got on your big ben has quite forgot the time of the day.
What a lovely day for a wedding over again. We say it's a lovely, lovely wedding,
lovely, lovely wedding, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely
wedding.
Heading.
Hello. Good morning, old chap.
Good morning.
I've come to take you to the wedding and what a wedding parade. We shall see.
Are you ready?
I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
I said, what's the matter with you? Two this morning? You all sixes and sevens?
Nothing's the matter. Let's go.
I've got to have it
to get
married.
I
think we can do it. We must do it. Edgar. We want to get married.
I thought you two were related and
we want to get married.
It takes three weeks, three weeks, anything can happen,
three weeks or you can fix it.
You can do.
Well, I know, but one must have permission from the archbishop's office.
And after all, he's busy today, you've got to swing it.
Well, I'll try you two meet me at the vicar generals in two hours.
If it's at all possible to get permission for a license,
you shall be married this afternoon.
Wait, wait, wait, Clyde Street church. I believe I know the minister there.
This is a pretty box of Pickles. I beg your pardon.
Now, we have to find Ann and John.
I know what corner she's standing on. Where's John?
Will she be leaving the abbey for the reception any minute?
You better find him,
Ellie.
I'm gonna miss you a lot from now on.
You're a wonderful,
good luck, darling.
Excuse me.
Excuse
me.
Thank you.
What
you do
here here, here here. What do you think you're doing?
I
and
were you married?
Where
your man.
Yes,
they didn't have to go to all this trouble. A small wedding would have been all right.
