All language subtitles for Something in the Wind 1947-subrip

Well, we don't have
much turntable time left.

Just enough for me to sing you
our theme, the Turntable Song.

Round and round
And round and round

The turntable goes

And on comes a tune

That you feel in your toes

On and on and on and on

The disc jockey player

And most every song

Has the same old phrase

"I love you"

How'd you like To hear that?

All day long

And not in a song

But in a sigh, so would I

Well, that's the dream
I'm dreamin'

While the turntable goes

Round and round and round
And round and round

This is Mary Collins
and her 60 Minutes Of Music,

in search of a sponsor,
signing off for today.

We'll be back
the same time tomorrow.

Time has wings
And all good things

Must come to a close

But tune in again

Any morning at ten

I'll be smiling with you

While the turntable goes

Round and round and round

Round and round and round

I'll make with the patter
And the chatter

While the platter goes
Spinning round and round

Don't be fat

Reduce with Deduco

I use it I use it

I use it Me, too

What Deduco did for us

It will do for you

D-E-D-U-C-O Cream

Don't be fat

Reduce with Dedu...

Hi, Joe.
Hi, Mary.

Hey, Mary, there's somebody
waiting outside to see you.

Oh, really? Who?

Never saw him before in my life.

Hey, maybe he's one
of the network big shots

on account of that audition
you're doing tomorrow.

Oh, could be.

The Adventures of Dynamo Dan.

You all remember, kids,

that yesterday,
Dynamo Dan was trapped

four hundred feet in the air
in the locked cage

of a flaming Ferris wheel.

Did Dynamo Dan escape?

Well, I want to tell you
all about that.

But first, a word from
the makers of Sourdough,

the breakfast cereal which is
the two-to-one choice

of hardened Alaskan prospectors.

Oh, Mr. Read.

Permit me to extend my sincere
condolences, Mr. Read.

Your late grandfather
was a great man.

A real pioneer, an
empire builder. Thanks.

And it was extremely gratifying
to hear of your elevation

to the head
of the Read Industries.

Why, thank you.
Young blood.

That's what it is today,
Mr. Read, young blood.

And radio, if I may say so,

is the young blood
of advertising.

Now take WFOB.

I don't want WFOB,

advertising or young blood,

I want to talk to Mary Collins.

Oh, why, here's
Miss Collins now.

Uh, privately.

Oh, yes. Yeah.
Yes, of course.

Uh, Miss Collins,

my name is Donald Read.

The Donald Read?

I am the grandson,
Miss Collins, of Henry Read.

The late Henry Read.

You want to see me,
Mr. Read?

Have the goodness to drop this
pretense of innocence, Miss Collins,

I repeat, I am the grandson
of the late Henry Read.

Well, you could be the late Napoleon's
grandson for all I care. Goodbye.

Young lady, your levity
is extremely ill-timed.

What I have to say
is most important.

Well, will you,
for Pete's sakes, say it?

Kindly don't beat
around the bush.

What bush?
My grandfather.

That's what bush.

Now, Mr. Read, if you'll make
this as simple as possible,

I'll try to understand.

Very well.

There is a private
and very secret document

in which my late grandfather
instructed me to continue

his regular financial
arrangement with you.

Financial arrangement
with me? Why?

Well, I imagine the less said
about that, the better.

Oh, you do.

However, |I won't permit the
continuation of this arrangement.

Oh, you won't.

I'm going to propose
a cash settlement.

Oh, you are?

Uh, yes. I want to pay you any
reasonable amount which we agree upon

in exchange for your signature
releasing my late grandfather

his estate, his heirs,
his assigns from any claim

resulting from your, uh,

relationship to him.

Now, that's it, in a nutshell.

Look, buster, you climb
right back into your nutshell

and roll out of here. I never
laid eyes on your grandfather.

And right now,
the only thing about him

that appeals to me
is he's the late Henry Read.

I wish I could say
the same for you.

Get out.

Get out.

Get out!

Now, see here.

Mary?

Oh, hello, dear.

I heard your broadcast.

Oh, it was lovely.

He was undoubtedly the world's
champion unpleasant young man.

Oh, and I've almost finished
your dress for the audition, dear.

Comes rushing into people's lives,
accusing them of all sorts of things.

And we'll have a fitting just
as soon as I finish these dishes.

Who does he think he is? I should have
bopped him one right in the waiting room.

Who?
There I was,

minding my own business,
just fixing to go home.

And in comes this big,
patronizing scandalmonger.

Who, dear?
Donald Read, that's who.

Oh, Aunt Mary,
your good service.

Yes, it was slippery, dear.

Never mind.

I'll pick it up later.

Did you say Donald Read?

Hm. You should have
heard him, Aunt Mary.

Started giving me
a lot of stuff and nonsense

about some financial arrangement
between me and his grandfather,

the late Henry Read.

Oh, Aunt Mary,
your beautiful gravy boat.

Oh, oh, the gravy boat.

Yes, I...
I dropped it, didn't I?

Naturally, I was surprised.

It seems his grandfather,
the late Henry Read,

was making payments
of money to somebody

by the name of Mary Collins.

No.

Now, it wasn't what you think.

Nor what Donald Read thinks.

Nor...

Oh, well...

Anyway...

Now you know.

I don't know anything.

Well, I was a governess
in the Read family

from the time I was 16
until I was about your age.

You see, I was taking care
of Henry's sister's children,

and we were thrown
together quite a bit.

And then what happened?

Henry and I fell in love.

And?

Family didn't feel
that it was suitable

and then, it was decided that

maybe we weren't
in love after all.

You mean they thought you
weren't good enough for him?

Oh, now, don't go
making a tragedy out of it.

And he was married a year later.

Very happily.-

Sure. But what about you?

I never met anyone else.

And then, your mother died

and you needed
a bit of bringing up.

But I still don't understand
about the money.

Well, dear, that was something
Henry wanted to do very much.

I think he always felt rather
badly about the turn things took.

And I had no conscience
about accepting it.

It helped me bring you up
a little more decently.

I don't want to be
brought up on his money,

Well, I'm afraid it's a little
too late for that, dear.

Oh, the nerve of those people.

Kick somebody in the teeth
and then give them $50

to get them straight and that's
supposed to fix everything?

But, Mary, it wasn't that.

Stick a knife in somebody's back
and then give them five dollars

for the tear in their coat.

Oh, Mary, dear, please don't
let it upset you so.

Anyway, I didn't see
anything wrong in it.

I wasn't blaming you, honey,
you know that.

It's just that I'm choking
on every bite of food

I've eaten since he started
sending those checks.

I wish we had
all the money back.

I'd ram it down
that giraffe's long throat.

Well, maybe he just
misunderstood.

Well, what difference
does that make?

He doesn't have any right to
trample on people's feelings.

What does he think
he is, uh, a stampede?

Oh, please don't let it
upset you so, dear.

Well, it does upset me. You
should have seen him, Aunt Mary.

Smug, superior,
holier than thou.

Yes, I know. Those are
Read characteristics.

It comes from being too rich
and too powerful.

Well, this is one family they're not
going to push around with their millions.

We're through with them.

Yeah, the only thing is, dear...

Well, financially, you know...

I'll take care of the finances.

And when I'm rich and famous,

I'll settle with
the Read family, but good.

I'll start runs on their banks,

corner the market
in their stocks,

drive them to financial ruin.

Topple Donald Read from his
dizzy heights of wealth and power.

Meanwhile, if he comes near me
again, I'll kick him right in the shins.

Hi, Donald.
Coming down, Charles?

Well, if you want
third cousins...

We need all the help we can get.

Oh, the Collins girl? She is
a tough customer, Charles.

Tough and mean.

And I always thought he was
only interested in money.

Oh, Grandfather, how could you?

You could say that again.

Oh.

Hello, Grandmother.

Good afternoon, Donald.

Now, I think we better decide

once and for all what to do
about Mary Collins.

Now, my ide...

Uh, Uncle Chester isn't
anywhere in the house, is he?

I think he went out.
Good.

If Uncle Chester ever got
wind of this story,

he'd blackmail the shirts
off our backs...

Donald!

Well, after all, Grandmother,

you know Uncle Chester,
he is a crook.

Perhaps he is, but
it's not nice to say so.

Now, Donald,

what's all this shitty shally?

Why haven't you settled
with this Mary Collins person?

Well, she won't even talk to me.

She must talk to you.

Why, she might bring suit
out of a clear sky.

We don't even know
what evidence she has.

We do know that Grandfather
Read paid her a regular allowance.

Uh, for reasons of his
own, shall we say? Charlie.

Well, let's say that anyway.

You can guess the kind of a
scandal she might break out with.

She might have kept a diary.

It would mean terrible
publicity for the Read family.

And another thing,

Clarissa's family won't like it.

And neither will Clarissa.

Kindly leave my fiance
out of this.

Okay. They're your chestnuts,
and it's your fire.

All I know is that
Mary Collins can blow

this family's reputation
higher than Mount Everest.

And if she needs any help, she'll
get plenty of it from Uncle Chester.

Gesundheit.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, Donald.

Uncle Chester,
what are you doing in there?

Hiding.
Out.

I fell sound asleep.

Truly I did.

I-I didn't hear a word you
were saying about Mary Collins.

I mean, I mean, I mean...
I was sound asleep.

Hey Uncle Chester.
Kindly leave the room.

One moment, Donald.

I am a member
of the Read family.

Oh, not you. You're a member
of the Jukes family. Get out.

Hey, hey. I'm not accustomed
to being ordered about

by younger members
of my own family,

nor having slurs and imputations
of dishonor cast upon me,

Okay, Uncle Chester,
just get out.

Now, if this family
would give me an allowance

consistent with my age
and position,

I wouldn't have to stoop
to such undignified conduct.

That settles it.

Now that Chester
knows the truth,

we must act at once.

Donald, I want you to bring

that Mary Collins
person here to me.

Oh, now, wait a minute, Grandma.

I've made up my mind.

I shall expect you to have
her here by tomorrow evening.

Uh, just how do you
suggest I go about it?

I don't care what you do.

Just get her here.

Just get her here, she says.

As if all we have to do
is invite her to dinner.

Charlie, we have a problem
on our hands.

What do you mean, we?
I'm only a third cousin.

You've just been
promoted to first cousin.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Charlie, what do you know
about kidnapping?

Only that they
hang people for it.

First you have to know
your victim's habits.

She has a record program
every morning at 10:00.

See, you'll be invaluable.

Oh, you're not really
gonna kidnap her, are you?

Me? Oh, unfortunately,
she knows me by sight.

Well, then...

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No, you don't. Not me. Not
even if you made me first uncle.

This is a family
crisis, Charlie.

We all have to pitch in.

You will have power
and influence behind you.

Mm.

Uh, not too far behind,
cousin, or I don't play.

Go ahead.

What are you gonna do?
I'll wait here.

Oh.

Well, don't you think
you'd better go?

I tell you, she knows me.

Oh.

Well...

Go ahead!

How do you do, Miss Collins?
How do you do?

I don't wanna make you nervous,
but a lot depends on you today.

I'm not nervous, Mr. Belton.

I just keep time to music
by knocking my knees together.

We haven't much
time, Miss Collins.

Oh, that's right. Excuse me.

I have to dress. Wish me luck.

Good luck, Miss Collins.
Thank you!

Uh, is that where
the performers come out?

Yes. Uh, well... Well,
I can wait. Can I?

Oh, sure.
Oh, thanks.

This is a day for a song

Ah

All the day long

I'm happy-go-lucky
And free

Like a skylark on the wing

Like a skylark
Every shadow I see

Gives me a reason to sing

I'm happy-go-lucky
And free

Like a gypsy in the Spring

Walking through
The bowers I love

Talking to the flowers I love

Laughing at the showers I say

What a day What a beautiful day

I'm happy-go-lucky
And free

Like a songbird In the blue

Just a dreamer
With a song in my heart

Till my dreams come true

Uh, who's that singing?

I don't know.

Nice voice.

Don't impress me.

I'm tone deaf.

I'm happy-go-lucky
And free Ah

Like a songbird In the blue

Just a dreamer
With a song in my heart

Till my dreams

Come

True Dreams come true

Till they all

Come

True All come true

Sensatlonal Absolutely
sensational, Miss Collins.

Thank you.

Excellent, Miss Collins.
I'll call New York right away.

Get in touch with Mr. Logan,
who gets in touch with the sponsor.

Oh. Well, I hope the sponsor
gets in touch with me.

Thanks again, Mr. Belton.

Goodbye, Miss Collins.
Goodbye, Miss Collins.

Oh, I-I beg
your pardon, Miss, uh...

I'm-I'm looking
for the vehicle entrance.

Oh, sure. It's right down
there to your left.

Take the first turn to your right
and then, down the ramp to your left.

Oh, I see. That's, uh, that's
down to the right and the first turn...

No, no, no, to the left. Well,
I'm going that way, I'll show you.

Oh, thank you, miss.

Police, Help! Wait!

Road to Sing Sing program.
Hm.

Where is
my grandmother?

Put me down! Leave me!

Well, here she is.

Tell, Bronston, there will
be one more for dinner.

I realize how difficult it must be for
this family to get people to come calling.

But this is going a little too
far! Sit down, Miss Collins.

There are laws in this country.

Laws which frown
on kidnapping young girls.

I said sit down.
I have friends, many friends.

There'll be a posse out
looking for me.

There won't be a stone unturned
or, or, uh, a bush untrampled.

Sit down.

No wonder you have millions.
Kidnapping, extortion.

Well, you picked on
the wrong pigeon this time.

This is quite an act
you're putting on.

But unfortunately,
we're not amused.

Now, let's get down to business.

Miss Collins, to be quite
frank, we know everything.

And we're willing to make
any reasonable settlement.

For what?
There's no need to deny it.

I have the checks right here
made out in your name.

You don't deny
your name is Mary Collins?

Look, there's really
a very simple explanation.

No explanation is necessary,
Miss Collins.

Obviously, you saw a chance
to improve yourself.

Improve myself?
With one of your ancestors?

Just who do you think you are?

Miss Collins, the Read family
has enjoyed a spotless reputation

around these parts
for some time.

Our standing in the community
is something we cherish.

Then I suggest that you get
out of the kidnapping racket.

Perhaps Donald acted
a little hastily.

See, Miss Collins,

he's to be married quite soon
into a very conservative family.

The slightest hint of scandal...

We realize that you're
entitled to damages,

and we'll be generous...
Up to a point.

Well, I, uh I want to
be fair about this thing.

You're so rich and powerful,
and you stand for so much.

I know what a disgrace it would be
if your proud name was besmirched.

And then there's your wedding.

Who is it, Donald?

One of the Dracula girls?

Kindly leave my wedding
out of this.

Oh, you're right. Forgive me.

Uh, you see, I haven't
had the advantages

of breeding and education
like all of you.

Of course, uh, I don't think
I am entitled to much.

Would $5000 be all right?

Well, I, um, I think
we can arrange that.

Well, of course.

And then I thought
$995,000 for the baby.

That brings it
to an even million.

T-the baby?

What baby is this?

What baby do you think?

Uh, I'm afraid to think.

No wonder Henry died suddenly.

After all, I'm sure
Henry would have wanted him

to be brought up
with all the advantages.

Oh, he's such a cute
little thing. All pink...

That's enough.

You realize, Miss Collins, this
has been a great shock to us.

You mean Henry didn't tell you?

Would he be likely to?

Sit down, Chester.

You're not going anywhere.

A million dollars?

Well, nothing's worth that much.

All right, Donald.

We'll settle tonight.
We'll do nothing of the sort.

After all, this-this involves
a million dollars.

We'll have our attorneys
draw up an agreement.

They won't be able
to get down till tomorrow.

Well, I dare say,
Miss Collins will wait.

And she'll stay right here in this
house until the matter is settled.

Oh, I didn't say I would settle.

I said I might.

Of course, I'll certainly
think about it.

Imagine me
with a million dollars,

tax free.

Dinner is served.

Oh, really?

I haven't been
so hungry since...

You know, I'm just dying for
you to meet your baby uncle.

Of all the ridiculous,
unhealthy...

Don't you say
anything about my baby?

Donald.

Take Miss Collins in to dinner.

I'm not too good
at this sort of thing, Donald.

What is the interest
on a million dollars?

Can't we talk
about something else?

You will go a long way, my dear, before
you find a more fascinating subject

than a million dollars.

Uh, would you like to go
into the library, Miss Collins?

Why should I?

Uh, well, I think there's something
in there that might interest you.

Oh, I don't have very much
time for reading anymore.

Yeah, but I-I think
you'll like this.

I'll go and see about a room
for you, Miss Collins.

Come along, Donald.

I want to talk to you.

Uh, the library, Miss Collins?

Why not?

Oh, not you, Uncle Chester.
This is a private affair.

Oh, Miss Collins, the last girl that
was caught alone with Cousin Charlie

didn't get over
the bruises for a week.

Oh, I think maybe you have
something there, my friend.

I don't quite like
the look in his eye.

Come along.

Why, Charlie, in front
of Uncle Chester?

If it weren't for Uncle Chester,
I wouldn't have to be doing this.

Doing what?

I'm going to play you a tune.

Something like
your disc jockey song.

Only about a different kind
of a radio program.

I think you'll like it.

Whenever I'm a little
On the weary side

I like to turn the lights
Down low

And dig myself
A little of the homicide

They send you on the radio

You know the type of show

Dark night
A knock at the door

Bang, bang
There's a body on the floor

Oh, boy, I love a mystery

Two men are out on a boat

One guy has a dagger
In his throat

Oh, boy

I love a mystery

Murder, murder on the air

Corpses, corpses In your hair

Stranglers Gangsters, maniacs

It's so relaxing

New clue A hankie of lace

Aha, there's a woman In the case

But where?

Where doth she roam?

There's moaning, groaning
Sirens, bells

Frantic phoning
Screeches, yells

How I love a mystery

For a quiet
Evening at home

It's so relaxing

You, you, with that
Innocent face

This time you're the woman
In the case

Yes, you

You're getting away
with murder too

You're fooling
My whole family

But, baby You're not fooling me

Because I love a mystery

And, oh

What I know about you

Charles.

Donald, will you please
see who that is?

I can't imagine
what's become of Bronston.

As for you, young man...

Hello, darling.

Clarissa?

Uh...

How nice to see you.

Yeah.

It's Clarissa. I thought
you told her not to come.

Well, I told her not
to come to dinner.

How did I know the crisis was
going to last any longer than that?

Well, you'll have to take that-that
crisis upstairs and hide her some place.

And make sure
the coast is clear.

Why, Donald, I think
you're ashamed of me.

I want to meet Clarissa.

Shh!
You're not going to.

I've had trouble enough.

Go on upstairs with Charlie.

- I hardly know the man.
- Go on.

Chester, you come along with us.

Pull yourself together, Donald.

Well, hello, Clarissa.

You said that.
Yeah. Uh, come in, Come in.

Oh, look, Grandmother,
Uncle Chester, it's Clarissa.

You weren't so happy
a minute ago.

Uh...

What's the matter with you,
Donald? Me? Uh, nothing.

I am fine.

Hey, I've never felt better.

Uh... Oh, h-have some coffee.

No, thank you.

Uh, cream and sugar?

Donald.

Donald's had a very difficult
and taxing day, Clarissa, my dear.

Yes.

One of grandfather's young
chickens came home to roost.

It's business worries.

He can tell you
all about it now.

Miss Collins.

You're a fake.
Who, me?

I happened to stumble
across these.

They're some more
of old Henry's checks

made out to Mary Collins.

And they go back twenty years.

Twenty years ago, you would
have been slightly young,

even for Uncle Henry.

All right, officer,
I'll go quiet.

Oh, no, not-not
without explanations.

Explanations?
Look, this was your idea.

I didn't drag myself up here.
All right. Calm down.

Calm down nothing. I'm sick and tired
of being pushed around by millionaires

who can't find anything better
to do with their time than-than...

Than push you around?
Right.

Well, you can relax with me.
I don't have a nickel.

Who do they think they are?

Why did you do that?

I agree with you.

I take it you, uh, still want
to give Donald the hotfoot.

Till he's burned to a crisp.

Go ahead.

Why don't you like Donald?

Oh, I like him, all right?

It's just that I don't think
he's in love with Clarissa.

Well, what has that got
to do with anything?

I am.

Why, Charlie.

Oh, she's a snob and a prude,
but I love her.

And she loves me, too.

Or at least I think she would,
if she got a chance to see

past Donald and that
mountain of money.

And you think if I hung
around here a little longer,

she might walk out
on him. That's right.

Well, why not?

He wanted to buy some trouble.

And he's got money enough
to afford it.

Partners?
Partners.

Hello, Clarissa.

Good evening, Charles.

Uh, how's everything, Charles?

Hmm? Oh.
Oh, fine.

Uh, that package
you gave me, Donald.

I put it in the
sitting room. Yes?

Oh, uh, fine.

Uh, you were saying, Clarissa.

I think the wedding
should be next month.

I want to tell Daddy so
he can book the bishop.

We want the bishop,
naturally. Oh, yeah.

Well, why not have two bishops?

Uh, safety in numbers,
you know?

You say the cutest
things, Charles.

Well, you know...

Now, what about music?

What's that?
Uh, well, uh...

Charles! You left
the radio on,

didn't you?
Oh, uh, must have.

Somebody seems to be dancing.

I... I thought we should've
bolted that radio down.

Um... Uncle Chester, I...

I told you not to bring
home that young lady. Huh?

I'm sorry, Donald.

Uh, you see, Clarissa,

Uncle Chester brought home

a young lady from the office.

Uh, extra work.

And she had the misfortune

to have rather
too much to drink.

I wouldn't have had this
happen for the world, Clarissa.

It's all my fault.

But I'll quiet
that little baggage.

Ah. Hello,
Uncle Chester.

Hello, Charlie.

Hello, Donsy wonsy.

Uh, Ms. Collins,

uh, this is
Ms. Prentice.

Hello.
Uncle Chester

is going to take you home.

Oh, but why should Uncle
Chester take me home?

You brought me.
Uh...

Well, nobody has to take me home.

And nobody better try.

Hey, you've got my purse.

Now,
Clarissa, please.

I can explain
everything, Clarissa.

Just listen to me, Clarissa.

You know, I think they might
manage with one bishop at that.

You, you...

See that this Typhoid Mary
over here doesn't leave the house.

I'm going after Clarissa.

Atta boy, Donald.

You better tell her the truth,

that you're worth a
million dollars less today

than you were yesterday.

Ms. Collins,
I salute you.

I only regret that I'm
not 20 years younger.

Together, you and I
could take up where

the James boys
left off.

Mr. Beamis is here
with a Mr. Masterson.

Good. Show them in.

This way, gentlemen.

Good morning,
Mrs. Read.

May I say how well you look?

I'm over here, Albert.

No, no, Mr. Beamis,
please. Here.

Good morning,
Mrs. Read.

May I say how well...

All right.
All right.

Did you bring the
papers with you?

I beg your Pardon?

The papers.

The agreement

I asked you about last night.

I couldn't understand a word

over the telephone last night.

We must have had
a poor connection.

Who had a baby down here?

Nobody had a baby down here.

Cases like this, one usually

calls a doctor, not an attorney.

However, I am
perfectly willing to lend

all the help I can.
Look, Mr. Beamis,

after my grandfather died,

we found evidence that he

and this girl, uh...

Well, how do you
explain these things?

He's a little old
for birds and bees.

Are you getting
any of this, Masterson?

Well, to tell you
the truth, sir,

I'm a little confused.

Huh?
Confused, Sir.

Donald, do something about this.

I rushed off
without even having breakfast.

Poor Henry.

What a shame he
didn't live to see it.

Mr. Beamis.

I'll get
you some breakfast

and explain things to you.

Come along, Ma, uh...

Masterson.

You can act as interpreter.

And they don't leave the house

until those papers are drawn.

Come, Chester.

Well, what's my next move?

You're going
shopping with Donald.

Am I? Does he
know about it?

No, not yet.

But he will when you tell him.

After all, you've got
to have some things

if you're going to stay here
until the papers are drawn.

Any special kind of shopping?

No. No special kind.

A special place.

There's a fashion show today
that sounds interesting.

And with you and Donald there,

even more so.

Chic, isn't it, Donald?

Shall I have it put aside
for you, Mrs. Read?

Oh, I'm not
Mrs. Read.

Am I, Donald?
Yes, of course.

But to whose account do you
wish the purchase charged?

Oh, to Mr. Read's,
of course.

Explain it to her, Donald.

Well, you see, uh,

I'm just buying
these things for...

Well, what I mean
is, this is for...

Look, just put it

on my account, that's all.

Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.

And thank you, Mrs...

I mean, Ms. Read.

Poor thing.
Now she's all mixed up. Shut up.

Do you want it to get around
town that you're not Mrs. Read?

Do you want it to get around
town that I am Mrs. Read?

Why, Donald, this is so sudden.

Just shut up for Pete's sake.

Yes, Donald.

And now for our new
collection of evening gowns.

These gowns are
designed to ensure

that large amounts
of money change hands.

The faint-hearted are
advised not to look.

Hello, Aunt Mary.
It's me.

Oh, thank Heavens.

Well, where in the world
have you been?

Oh, I'm sorry, dear,
but I just couldn't get home

last night.

Oh, now you're not to worry.

I'm perfectly all right.

But if anybody comes around
asking questions about me

or some baby I'm
supposed to have,

don't you tell them a thing.

Um, well, I can't
talk now, dear,

and I can't explain.
But I'll try

and call you back
just a soon as I can.

Now, don't you worry.

And don't forget about my baby.

Buh-bye.

And that ends our
episode for tonight.

Will Mary get home all right?

And what is all this
about a baby?

Listen in tomorrow.

Same time, same place.

Hiya, Mary.
Oh, hi, Joe.

Taking a look at how
the other half dresses?

Oh, I just want
to see if the mink set

breathes and eats
like the rest of us.

I'm insanely jealous.

Ladies and gentlemen,

while our lovely
models are changing,

we are usually entertained
with a musical interlude.

Today, however, we're
honored with the presence

of one of the bright
young stars of radio,

Ms. Mary Collins.

Your record queen, conductor
of her own radio program,

"Turntable Time."

Maybe I could persuade
her to sing for us.

Oh.

You sit down.
Donald, please.

Not in public.

I'd love to.

Why, Clarissa,
there's that girl.

Girl? What girl?

Well, the one that
Donald got mixed up with.

Mixed up?
Yes.

Really, Clarissa?

Oh, it's perfectly
all right, Father.

Donald explained
the whole thing to me.

It has something to do
with the estate. Oh, I see.

She was a lovely creature,

immaculate, delicate,

wistful,

and just a bit sad.

And he...

well, he could've
stepped right out of that

"Men of distinction" act.

I saw them stop
in front of a shop,

to look at the window display.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop,

but I couldn't help
hearing her say...

In her innocent Whimsical way

You want to keep
Your baby looking right

Don't you, Daddy?

You want to see her
All dolled up tonight

Don't you, Daddy?

I kind of think

I'd like a mink

As long as you are able

But if you're not

I'll tell you what

I'll settle for a Sable

You want to keep that gleam

In baby's eye

Don't you, Daddy?

You'll even let her
Kiss the boys goodbye

Won't you, Daddy?

And you're a dear
To volunteer

Another diamond Lavalier or two

'Cause in that case maybe

You'll keep your baby
Looking right

At you

You want to keep
Your baby looking right

Don't you, Daddy?

You wouldn't want my
Friends to think You're tight

Would you, Daddy?

Come on, be big

And don't renege

I'm really sentimental

Of course I know

You're in the dough

But that's coincidental

You wanna hold
Your baby on your knee

Don't you, Daddy?

You let her have The new annuity

Won't you, Daddy?

I'm sending you A present too

It's gonna be delivered COD

Gotta keep you happy

To keep my Pappy

Lookin' right

At me

Clarissa, wait.

That horrible girl is just
trying to embarrass me.

I can explain everything.

No explanation's either possible

or necessary,
Mr. Read.

I understand
perfectly. Here.

Coming, Father?

Cad.

Clarissa!

Oh, Donald, that's terrible.

Maybe if I talk to her...

That would fix everything.

Ms. Collins,

I know appealing
to your better nature

is a waste of time, since
obviously you don't have one.

So I must employ threats.

And I warn you,
Ms. Collins,

if you interfere
in my life again,

I shall kill you
myself personally!

Look, Mary, do you suppose
you get out to the house

by yourself? No, I can't get
out to the house by myself.

Yeah, but I wanna talk to Clarissa
while she's still sore at Donald.

Oh, she won't be sore at Donald

for more than about 15 minutes.

Oh, you don't know Clarissa.

I know her better than you do.
The first time she passes a bank,

she'll remember that
mountain of money

and he'll be hooked again.

Now you shouldn't say
things like that about Clarissa.

Why not? She's saying worse
things than that about me.

Look, I have to get
out of this man trap.

I'll meet you at the
car after I change.

Okay.

Uh, Ms. Collins.

I have just been
talking to our attorneys,

and they expect the
papers to be complete

either late today or tomorrow.

As soon as you've signed them,

I expect you to... Oh, but I didn't
say I would sign them, Donald.

I said I might.
Well, you...

You'll sign those papers

or else you'll wish
you had, you...

infuriating little drip.

Flattery won't
get you anywhere, Donald.

I just have to make
up my own mind.

You know, Donald,
I don't think you're

handling that girl
quite the right way.

The right way to handle her is

at the end of a ten-foot pole.

Well, look, you want her to
sign that agreement, don't you?

Of course I do.
Well, at the moment,

she hates you and won't
do anything you want

even if it kills her.
Charles, stop babbling.

Well, suppose she
didn't hate you.

What do you mean?

Well, you've always done

pretty good in
the girl department.

You mean I should
make love to that?

I'd sooner make love
to a black widow spider.

Well, suit yourself, old man,

you could clear up the
whole thing like that,

but handle it your own way.

You, uh,

think she'd fall for it?

Oh, no, no, not a chance.

Still, uh,

she might, at that.

Oh, but what's the use?

Look, as an earnest
student of astronomy,

I'm in position to inform you

that at 10:56 tonight,

a full moon will rise.

Well, hello.
What do you want?

Oh, nothing in
particular. I, um,

I just wanted to
make sure you were

comfortable and maybe
not too lonesome.

You'd be surprised how
seldom I get lonesome, Donald.

Well, you never can tell.

After all, there are
extroverts and introverts,

and hardly anyone can tell

which is which,
and who is going to

turn out to be which one.

You want to come in?

Oh, thank you.

Well...

I, um,

I thought we could
have a little talk.

About what?

Well, after all, we're involved

in a rather
unpleasant situation.

Uh, shall we

Why?
Sit here?

Well, we can't stand
all night, you know?

Why, Donald, were you
planning on being here all night?

Don't be ridiculous!

Um,

I... I'm sorry.

Please sit down.

All right.

Now what?

Well, I, um, I realize it's...

it's rather unorthodox

my coming here
this time of night,

but I just thought it was stupid

our being enemies.

You mean you want to be friends?

Exactly.

What kind of friends?

Well, you seem to be a very

intelligent person,
Ms. Collins...

Uh, Mary.

And if I may add,

very attractive.

Well, I wouldn't know.

Personally, I've never
appealed to myself in that way.

Well, take my word for it.

You're very attractive.

And there have
been girls who haven't

exactly considered
me unattractive.

Oh, you must have
gone out with some

awfully forward girls.

I mean, to say a thing
like that to a man...

Donald, did you come up
here to make love to me?

Well, what'd you think
I came up here for?

Oh, I...
Uh, I'm sorry.

I... I seem to be
a little rattled tonight.

Yes, I noticed that.

Is something bothering you?

Yes.

You.

You.
Me?

You don't really mind, do you?

Oh, no. Uh,

I suppose you have to have

a romantic setting
for your work.

Oh, it's not my work.

It's...

Well...

It's an impulse.

the turntable goes...

Why, Donald,

that's what I call
really romantic.

And it's my song, too.
Where did you get it?

On and on and on and on
The disk jockey plays

And most every song

Has the same old phrase

"I love you"

How would you like
To hear that

All day long

And not in a song
But in a sigh

So would I
Well, that's the dream

I'm dreamin'
While the turntable goes

It goes around and round
And round and round and round

Don't stop, don't stop

Don't stop

Around, around

Well, that's
a relief. Go away.

Go drown yourself.
Oh, no, I like them.

Sing another song.

Do you hear

What I hear?

There's something
In the wind

Something that the moonbeams

Think we oughta know

Do you feel as I feel

There's something
In the wind

Something that The stars planned

Centuries ago

A funny little bird

Just sent word

From the treetops

That you will be tops

In my heart

When do we start?

Kiss me and hold me

There's something
In the wind

And it tells me

We're gonna fall in love

Do you feel as I feel

There's something
In the wind

Something that
The stars planned

Centuries ago

A funny little bird

Just sent word

From the treetops

That you will be tops

In my heart

When do we start?

Kiss me and hold me

There's something
In the wind

And it tells me

And it

Tells me...

I'm sorry, I...

I didn't mean that.

Didn't you?
Yes, I did,

but what I mean is I meant to...

Look, Mary,

I did plan to make
love to you tonight,

but, well,

what I mean is it...

didn't turn out
the way I'd planned.

Not at all the way I'd planned.

No. It didn't turn out
the way I planned either.

Mary, that was the real thing.

Look, Donald,

let's not lose our perspective.

You don't know
anything about me.

I'm ready to learn. No,
that isn't what I meant.

Well, what else
is there to know?

Oh, you still think this
is an act, don't you?

That I'm trying to hoodwink you

about signing the papers.

No, Donald. I just
have to explain...

Donald...
That's how I feel.

And I don't want you to explain

or worry about anything.

I've got to tell you about this

silly business with the lawyers

and the papers.
Oh, not a word.

It isn't true, you
know? None of it.

I didn't even know
your grandfather.

It was my aunt... I
don't care, Mary, really.

I don't care about
anybody you knew

or anything you did
up to this minute.

May I come in?

Oh. Yes, yes,
of course.

Lovely evening, isn't it?

Lovely.

You couldn't sleep
either, I take it.

Oh, twas just a little restless.

Yes.

I noticed that from my window.

Oh.

Was this part of your
plan, Ms. Collins?

Or did Donald just

sweep you off your feet?

No, that wasn't part
of my plan at all.

Probably consider it
a harmless flirtation.

But I don't consider it
a harmless flirtation at all.

That makes things
rather unpleasant.

Oh, if you're referring to this

ridiculous business
about the baby, it isn't true.

I know.

I'm referring to
certain arrangements

that have already been made.

Oh.

I'm sorry about Clarissa, but...

Don't worry about Clarissa.

She'll make out all right.

What about Donald?

He hasn't a penny
of his own, you know.

Well, I didn't know.

But now that I do,
I don't particularly care.

I just wanted to
make it clear to you

just how much Donald
will be giving up.

Why don't you tell him?

Because in the mood
he's in...

He'd probably throw me out.

You see, Ms. Collins,

we women are much more practical

about these matters than men.

We take a longer view of things.

What are your objections to me?

It isn't a question
of objections.

Donald will be giving up

not only great advantages,

but obligations as well.

When he weighs
things up in a few years,

the balance may
not be on your side.

What about me?

You'll get over it.

It's all up to you,
Ms. Collins.

Either way,

you'll have to make
the decision.

I should give it a great deal

of careful thought
if I were you.

Good night.

Oh, Mary,

where in the world
have you been?

I've been frantic
trying to find you.

Are you all right?

Oh, yes, dear.
I'm all right.

I'll tell you
all about it later.

A man by the name of Belton

has been trying to get to
you for the last two days.

Something about going
to New York today.

Now, what does that mean?

Oh. I guess it means that
the sponsors liked our show.

Mary, you mean you're
going on the national network?

Oh, isn't that wonderful?

Yes, it is.

Well, for goodness' sake,

you don't seem to be very
happy or excited about it.

Mary, what's happened to you?

Nothing, Aunty.

Of course I'm happy about it.

I'll go pack
a bag for you, dear,

just in case you
have to stay over.

Thank you. I'll just
get my music together.

It's only love

And I lost out

Is that a thing

To cry about

It's only love

You kiss

You part

So I'll forget

But will my heart

One more dream

Warm and gay

One more dream

Gone astray

It's only love

My love

For you

And it Will only last

My whole life

Through

One more dream

Warm and gay

One more dream

Gone astray

Oh, how are you,
Mr. Superintendent?

Yes, This is Donald Read.

Well, as it happens,

there is something you can do.

A young woman
has been making trouble here.

I'd like her picked up and held.

No publicity, mind you.

The charge?

Attempted extortion,
for one thing.

Yes. Hold her

until my uncle,

Chester Read, can talk to her.

Her name is Mary Collins.

About 22, five-foot-three...

Your name, please? Mary Collins.

You're Mary Collins?
Yes. Why?

Come along with us.

What for? I haven't
done anything.

But I'm going to New York.

Not now you're not. Come on.

Your grandmother would like you

to join her in the drawing room.

Oh, uh, thanks, Bronston.

Uh, Clarissa.
Donald.

Your grandmother's
explained everything to me.

I'm terribly sorry about
the misunderstanding.

Please forgive me.

Uh, forgive you?

We're going ahead
with the wedding plans.

We won't let anything
interfere this time.

Wedding plans?

It's back where
it belongs, Donald.

Donald, I've given

Clarissa back her ring,

as you asked me to.

As I what?

Oh, uh, yes,

the ring...

Naturally.
Thank you, darling.

Goodbye, darling.

Ah, a celebration
is indeed in order.

There is nothing more touching

than true lovers reunited.

Their love will be
even stronger now

that it is been tested
and tempered

in the crucible
of misunderstanding.

To Donald and Clarissa.

Ah, congratulations, my boy.

Charles and I were just
saying what wonderful news.

What is? Oh, you mean,
me and Clarissa?

Yeah.

Wonderful, isn't it?

Clarissa is a wonderful gal.

I'm a lucky guy.

Hello. Let me talk
to Mr. Donald Read, please.

Uh, speaking.

Mr. Read, we've got
the Collins girl here.

Quiet down.

Yes, just brought her in.

She's the right one, all right.

And with a temper.

Listen, you can hear her.

Come on, quiet down now.
Get in here.

I'll come right over.
Or send a relative.

Right in here, Mr. Read.

Thank you.

Oh, so you're back of
all this, you old werewolf.

Is Donald in on it too?

Donald knows nothing about it.

It's just a little idea
of my own.

You see, my dear,
I'm getting along in years.

It's time that I was
looking out for my old age.

If you don't get me out of here,

I'll eliminate your old age.

In due time, Ms. Collins,
in due time,

we mustn't rush these things.

Just answer my question.

Why did you leave
the old homestead

in such a rush this morning?

None of your business.

Well, in that case,
I cannot help you.

Maybe a friend
of yours might bake you

a cake with a file
and a hacksaw...

No, no, wait a minute.

Look, I really have
to get out of here.

I have to catch
a plane for New York.

My whole future depends upon it.

All right.
I'll tell you why I left.

Because that whole rigmarole

about me and old
Henry Read was a fake.

It was my aunt he knew
many years ago.

I never even saw the old man.

I just got sick and tired
of all that nonsense.

And this morning, I
skipped out. That's the truth.

Most impractical.

I can see now how badly you
need my counsel and advice.

Now that we're partners,
this is what I propose...

Hey, wait a minute.

What is this about partners?

It's very simple.

I'll keep your little
secret, of course.

I'll arrange for your release.

I'll even escort you
personally to the lawyer

so you can scribble your
name on some releases,

and be handed a million dollars.

For myself, I ask very little.

Half.
Why, you old crook.

At
your service, my dear.

But they're your family.

Would you swindle
your own flesh and blood?

It's ever so much simpler
than swindling strangers.

Come now, what do you say?

I can have you
out of here in a jiffy.

I wouldn't have
anything to do with you

if it would save me
from the electric chair.

Now get out.
Get out of my jail.

Very well, my dear,
think it over.

You know where you can reach me.

Hey, you know...

you know what, old pal?

I've come to a moment...

To a moment...

I've come to a big decision.

I ain't ever
going to get married.

Congratulations.

Clarissa's forgiven me.

She loves me.

Yeah.

Isn't that wonderful?

It's great.

Hi, Johnny.

Okay, Tony,
You can take over.

And watch her.
She's frisky.

Her?

Why, she seems real
pleasant and lady like.

That's just an act.

You should've seen her
when they brought her in.

Poor Nolan will be
on crutches for a week.

She is really tough.

That's not true, Tony.

I won't be any trouble
to you at all.

Only nothing.

Perhaps you are unaware of it.

But this is the time
I practice my singing.

I don't want any interruptions.

Like, do you sing, Tony?

So do I.

What sort of a singer are you?

What sort of a singer are you?

Well, it may interest
you to know that

I am preparing ll Trovatore
for the policeman's ball.

Oh, I know it well.

Oh, you do, do you?

What's the Miserere?

It's the duet in the third act.

You're the hero.

The duke has thrown you
into a dungeon.

I'm your sweetheart out in
the courtyard of the prison

trying to help you escape.

I sing to you about
how awful I feel,

you sing to me, trying to cheer
me up and then we sing together.

Well...

What? We even have
the right stage setting,

a jail.

The matron who sings it with me

doesn't come on duty
until six o'clock.

We don't have
much time to rehearse.

I think I might let
you do it with me.

You think you might
let me do it?

Now, Let's get this
straight, Tony.

I'll only do it
on one condition.

Yes.
That...

that you let me make
a phone call.

Positively not.

It's absolutely
against regulations.

All right, then.

Go on without rehearsals.
Make a fool of yourself.

Tony.

Tony.

Tony!

I've changed my mind.

Uh, you are a hard man,

but, uh, well,
I've decided to do it.

No phone calls.
No phone call.

Okay, then, follow me.

Bum, pa-ba-bum, pa-ba-bum...

What sounds am I hearing

For whom are they chanting

They frighten this heart Of mine

As never before

Is tragedy nearing

Ah, me, can it be

I am fated to see
My beloved no more

Ah, shall I see My true love

No more

Ah

Fairest Leonora

Mine Is that mournful knell

Thine will my heart be

Though far from thee I dwell

My only one

My Leonora Fare thee well

The voice of my lover

Oh, terrible warning

The one who is all to me

Will die with the dawn

Oh, sorrowful morning

The light of the sun
And the light of my life

Will forever be gone

Though I die

My love will still live on

No

Thou wilt never leave me

Far though my soul may be

Thine is my heart

All through eternity

And I Will wait

My whole life for thee

Angels above
Watch o'er thee

Till on that shining day

Farewell till we meet
We meet once more

Forever I'll wait
I'll wait at Heaven's door

I'll wait for evermore
My Leonora

For thee

Although I go before thee

With thee my heart I leave

I will be faithful
Faithful to me

I give my promise
Promise that you will be

I am thy true love
Farewell, my love

And do not grieve

Until I meet thee above
Farewell, my love

May Heaven bless thee

Magnificent.

So are you.

Of course, you came in
under my obbligato

just a bit too soon.

I came in under your
obbligato right on the button.

You were much too soon.

You spoiled the whole effect.

You belong in jail.

I was exactly right.

If we had a score,
I could show you.

I have a score in my locker.

I'll expect an apology.

You wait right here

I love Mary.

You know, Mary's got
a great little head

on her shoulders too, you
know that?

I love Mary,
but I'm gonna marry Clarissa.

Funny world.

I wonder where Mary is now?

Maybe she needs me.

Maybe she...

Do you hear something?

Telephone.

That's what I thought.

Telephone. Telephone.

Don't they know we're busy.

Thoughtless people.

Hello. I can't hear you.
You'll have to speak louder.

I can't hear.
Jiggle the hook.

Hello, Donald.
It's me, Mary.

Poor Mary.
Disappeared.

Listen, Donald, it's me, Mary.

I'm in jail. Your Uncle
Chester had me put in jail.

Don't expect any sympathy
from me, Uncle Chester.

It's Uncle Chester.
He's in jail.

No, this isn't Uncle Chester.

Yeah, you've made
your own bed, Uncle Chester.

Now, gather moss in it.
You tell him.

Please, Donald, listen to me.

It's me, Mary Collins.

I must refuse to talk about her

memory's too painful.

Goodbye.

Big plastered goat.

You know, it's funny.

I feel like...

like Mary was close
to me a minute ago.

It seemed as if I could
almost hear her voice.

Well, maybe she's in jail
with Uncle Chester.

Yeah, that must be...

Oh, no.

Oh, that was Mary in some jail.

That was Mary that just called.

Oh, we gotta save her,

gotta hunt through the jails,

gotta find Mary.
I love Mary.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What about Clarissa? Clarissa's
a wonderful girl, you know,

She's got a real head
on her shoulders.

You can have Clarissa,
head and shoulders.

When you get married, I'll give
you Clarissa for a wedding present.

Only you gotta
help me find Mary.

It's a deal. It's a
deal. Come on.

You see, there it is,
right on the paper.

I may not always be
right in these things,

but believe me, I'm never wrong.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I apologize.

Oh, yes.

By the way, did you get that
call through, all right?

This better be it. This is
the last jail in the county.

Do you have a Mary Collins here?

And who are you?
My name is Donald Read.

Oh, yes. Mr. Read, we're
holding her at your request.

At my request?

That's right.

Do you smell
Uncle Chester around here?

Uh-huh.

Oh, may I see her?

Right in there.

You wait here.

Young man,
have you been drinking?

Oh, Donald.

I didn't think you were coming.

I thought it was
Uncle Chester again.

He had me locked up.

Don't worry, darling,

Oh...

I forgot.

You mustn't do that.

Says who?

Oh, it wouldn't
work out, Donald.

I know that now.
It's all wrong.

Why? Because
you became involved

in some silly way
with my family.

Oh, no. It's not
your family.

Well, I mean, yes, it is...

Now, you listen to me.

That's not important
to me anymore.

I've forgotten
about grandfather.

The letter, the papers,
the lawyers,

the settlement, the whole thing.

You've got to let me
explain to you.

You can explain it to me later.

For years and years and years,

we'll spend long winter
nights going over in detail.

Oh, Donald.

It's just a sample of the work
done on this machine.

Now sit tight while
I scare up some officials

and get you out of here.

No, Donald, wait a minute.

Whom do I see about getting
Ms. Collins out of here?

Superintendent.
Donald, please...

Now, don't go away.

Donald, wait a minute.
I want to talk to you.

I'll be right back.

Come back. Listen to me!
Where's the Superintendent?

Round the turn,
go to the right.

- Donald.
- Thanks.

Is that your young man?

No, but I wish he could be.

Looks like he's trying.

Well, that doesn't make
any difference.

He's a Read.

They're different
from other people.

They have to be paired off
like racehorses.

It improves the breed.

And you wouldn't?

I'm afraid not.

Oh, Ms. Collins,
there you are.

Ms. Collins is in there.

Oh, here you are,
Ms. Collins.

Everything's ready
for your signature.

Please sign right here.

Oh, but, gentlemen,

there's really no point
in my signing these papers.

None of this is true.

Kindly allow us to be
the judges of that.

The papers are ready,
and so is your check.

My Check?

Oh, well, this was
just part of the joke.

Why, I wouldn't...

The check.

Come now, Ms. Collins,

are you going to sign
these papers

and accept the check
or aren't you?

Yes, I'll sign.

There you are.

Say, what are you two
doing here anyway?

Oh, we came down
to have Ms. Collins

sign the releases,
Mr. Donald.

And to give her the check.

Well, that business
is all washed up.

Forget about it,
beat it, both of you.

Well, our work is done.

We have Ms. Collins
signature on the releases,

and she has our check.

She...

took the check?
Of course.

I have a receipt right here.

Well?

Uh, Mary, there must be
some mistake.

The lawyers were just
telling me that you...

That I signed the papers
and accepted the check.

Well, what about it?

Why do you think I hung around

your family mausoleum?

For laughs?

Now, Mary, wait.

Now, look, Master Donald,

my business with the
Read family is finished.

Understand?

Yeah. Yeah, I see that.

Charles, I want you
to stay away from Clarissa.

You understand?

No, I don't.

Donald won't speak to her.
Why shouldn't I?

Donald is being very juvenile,

romantic and brokenhearted
about all this,

but he'll awaken to a sense
of his responsibilities.

I know Donald.

Ms. Mary Collins
to see you, Madam.

Mary Collins?

Here? I had her wait
in the drawing room.

Go on with
your breakfast, Charles.

I will speak
to Ms. Collins.

Mrs. Read?

Yes.

I'm Mary Collins Sr.

Senior or junior,
Ms. Collins,

I shall be obliged
if you leave my house.

I don't think we have
anything to say to each other.

I think we have.

I came here because I
once suffered the heartbreak

my niece is suffering now.

Once is enough in any family,

I don't want what happened
to me to happen to my niece.

May I say that your niece's
relationship to the Read family

has not been an entirely
unprofitable one?

Stuff and nonsense.

There's your silly check.

You don't suppose for one moment

that Mary wanted to take that,

or that she intended to keep it.

Well she certainly behaved
as though she did.

Well, that was
for Donald's benefit.

It was the only way she could
keep him from seeing her again.

I compliment your niece
on her good sense.

Good sense. My foot.

You hypnotized her.

That's what you did.

You made her feel
that she wasn't

good enough
for your precious grandson.

A suitable marriage has
been arranged for Donald.

It will take place.

Very well.

I knew pretty much
what you would say,

but I had to come.

I hoped you'd be one Read

who didn't have
a bank book for a heart.

But I don't understand.

Nobody said anything to me
about a television show.

Well, I haven't had
any rehearsal in...

Oh, let's all right, a
rehearsal won't be necessary.

And what about my costume?

But it's the greatest
opportunity of your life.

Well, all right.

Yes. I'll be there
in an hour.

Oh, that's fine. Goodbye.

Hello, I, uh, oh...

Hello. Hello.
Everything's set.

Yeah, tell the ballet girls
to get ready. Wonderful.

Number two camera,
pan to the soloist.

You?

Mm? Oh, all ready?
That's fine.

We'll be on in just a minute.

What do you mean on?

You and I are gonna do
a show together. That's all.

The odds on that are so high.

I won't even bother to mention.

Look, we don't have time
to fool around.

The show's already started.

Subsidized by the
mighty Reads, I suppose.

I don't need any favors,
thank you.

Look, I don't have
time to argue now.

I've got to go on.

You can't back out now.
It's all been arranged.

You arranged it, Junior.
You rearrange it.

Come on, you're gonna
at least watch the show.

Come on. You're on next.

Maybe I didn't
make myself clear.

The answer is no.

Yeah, but somebody's gotta
do it. I can't do the high note.

You can die trying.

There's your introduction.

You use it.

Oh, give me that thing.

I'm happy-go-lucky and free

Like a skylark on the wing

Like a skylark
Every shadow I see

Gives me a reason to sing

To sing

I'm happy-go-lucky And free

Like a gypsy in the Spring

Walking through
The bowers I love

Talking To the flowers I love

Laughing at the showers I say

What a day

What a beautiful

Day

What a day

I'm happy-go-lucky And free

Like a songbird in the blue

Just a dreamer with a song
In my heart

Till my dreams

Come

True

A funny little bird
Just sent word

From the treetops

That you will be tops

In my heart

When do we start

Kiss me and hold me

There's something
In the wind

And it tells me

We're gonna fall

In love

Love
