NARRATOR: Man lives in the sunlit world

of what he believes to be reality.

But... there is,

unseen by most, an underworld.

A place that is just as real

but not as brightly lit.

A dark side.

MAN: � Nothing's ever what it seems �

� You have to chase your dream

� Shoot it out like an outlaw

� Livin' on the run �

(singing indistinctly)

� Bullet from your gun

� I can hear your heart beat miles away �

� I can hear you, darling �

� Every day...

Hey, Caruso!

The Metropolitan is uptown.

I know that, Anthony.

Hey, I got a reason to be excited.

You know that the lottery is worth $41 million?

Yeah, and you're worth one dollar less.

Oh, yeah?

Try $5.00 less.

That figures.

Last time, it was $3.00

for the Golden Chance drawing,

and then $4.00 on a chance for a Rolls-Royce.

Yeah, well, you know what they say.

You got to take a chance if you want to be rich.

It's a waste of money.

Oh, no. Look at this, Anthony.

A big gala tonight at the Waldorf-- a celebrity bash.

Oh, it'd be nice to have that kind of money, huh?

Rubbing elbows with that crowd.

Hey, hotshot.

Quit your dreaming,

and get to work.

Learn the trade, just in case you don't hit the jackpot.

Just in case.

(groans)

Take your time.

Nobody learns overnight.

You know how long it took me, don't you?

Of course,

I didn't have me for a teacher.

(both chuckling)

Hey, what is this, Anthony? Another show?

30 dancers, plus six principals,

and that's a lot of shoes.

I'll tell you, boy, you got some racket going here.

All your customers think

you're some kind of genius or something.

Maybe it'll rub off on you.

Stick around.

Stick around.

(whispering): I wish you success.

Hi.

Hi.

Chocolate or jelly? That's all that was left.

(sighs) Chocolate.

Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm.

What is that?

(chuckling): Oh.

Renee let me try on some of her new perfume.

Really? You like it?

I love it. Yeah?

It's great. Mmm.

Mmm. Well, costs a fortune.

You know how I'm trying to save up.

Is that Gail?

Oh, I'm on my break.

(gasps) They're finished?

Not quite.

Oh, Anthony.

They're so gorgeous.

Rob, look. Wait a minute.

(chuckles)

Is it bad luck for the groom

to see the shoes before the wedding?

I don't think so.

They're beautiful.

Oh, I'm so glad you talked me out of the other ones.

I've got only one rule in this shop:

the right shoes for the right people.

You know, you lose a lot of orders that way.

No, I keep a lot of customers happy that way.

Oh. I have to go.

Good-bye. Okay.

Thank you. Good night.

Thanks for the doughnut.

That's a nice girl.

(door opens and closes, chimes tinkling)

Not bad.

Not perfect.

You're learning. (chuckles)

ANTHONY: Okay, Rob.

Last pair.

Okay, Anthony.

Good night.

See you.

See you tomorrow.

Okay.

(sighs)

(blows)

(door opens and closes, chimes tinkling)

Good morning.

Morning.

Gail says hello.

She gave me an extra one.

Glazed-- your favorite.

Great.

What's the matter? You look tired.

No, I'm all right.

Did I tell you Laura Grant is coming into town today?

Yes, you did-- three times.

Well, hey, it's not every day

you get a-- what do you call it?--

a Best Supporting Actress.

Wonderful girl, so talented,

and a very hard worker.

Yeah, she was probably at the right place at the right time.

That's all it takes, you know, is one lucky break.

She put in a lot of years.

You know, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Well, I'll settle for a free breakfast.

Now, you take Gail.

Exactly. Take Gail.

She wants to buy a house, right?

She's been working five years in a doughnut shop.

She's got $750 saved up.

What's that going to buy, a window?

You know, I read about this guy.

Bought the whole floor of an apartment building

just to put in a swimming pool.

Too lazy to walk to the Y, eh?

Come on, Anthony. Don't you think that's cool?

Laura!

Anthony.

It's so good to see you.

You look beautiful. Oh, thank you.

Hi.

Hello.

Boy, you're a sight for sore eyes.

Been a long time.

It has. Too long.

Oh, my God, I don't believe it.

You still have this?

(sighs) My first job.

Let me see.

ANTHONY: I did the shoes for that.

Laura was the best in the show.

It closed in a week.

That wasn't your fault.

(chuckles) Critics.

If I have learned one thing,

don't pay any attention to the critics.

Let's see, and then, what did-did you do?

Uh... Always and Forever.

It closed overnight.

ANTHONY: I remember, you

wore the t-straps and pearl buttons.

Great shoes, lousy play. Then, what happened?

I almost quit.

That would have been a sin.

There was this one great part.

I wasn't even going to try out for it,

but, uh, Anthony talked me into it.

I wore those red shoes for good luck.

She didn't need any luck.

She worked hard.

And I got the part.

ANTHONY: And the rave reviews,

and the movies, and the shows,

and I'll be right back.

So, uh...

I bet you go to a lot

of Hollywood parties out there, huh?

You know how early you have to get up

while you're making a movie?

I go to about two parties a year.

Oh, yeah?

(chuckles)

I went to one last night at the Waldorf Astoria.

Really? How was it?

It was great.

Liza was there.

And Frank.

I had drinks with the mayor.

You know him?

Well, he was at the bar.

But the governor was at my table.

Fascinating. Yeah.

But we kept it light-- you know, we didn't talk politics.

We had a good time.

I'll bet you did.

Hi.

Gail. Guess what.

This man left me a $2.00 tip.

(chuckles)

I was just talking to Laura here.

Oh.

Oh, you're... you're Laura Grant, aren't you?

Nice to meet you.

Okay, here we are.

Ooh, I like this blue.

Mmm. And...

this heel.

That's the one I'm using on Gail's wedding shoes.

You two are getting married?

Yeah, yeah, two more months.

Oh. A June bride.

Real original, huh?

Well, you like this?

LAURA: Very much. ANTHONY: Perfect.

I'll get started this afternoon.

Oh.

Nice to meet you.

Good luck.

I can't believe that was Laura Grant.

(chuckles)

And I can't believe you mentioned a $2.00 tip.

Um... Mom wants to know

if you want to come over for dinner on Sunday.

Yeah. Yeah, sure I do.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Well, I just wanted--

I-- to share that with you.

I know you did. I-I'm sorry.

I am.

Really? Yeah.

I love you.

Hey, lovebirds.

The honeymoon is in June.

All right, I'm going, I'm going.

Okay. Bye. See ya.

I'll bring some wine.

(humming "Bridal Chorus")

All right, Anthony.

All right, all right.

Hey, Rob, have a doughnut.

I don't want a doughnut.

Hey, Anthony, when, uh--

when did you first know that you loved your wife

enough to want to marry her?

I mean, didn't you ever think of what would happen

if you weren't tied down?

You could do anything you wanted.

First of all,

I knew I would never meet anyone else like Christina, okay?

Besides, I like doing this.

Rob, when you are dreaming,

dream of Gail.

She's good for you.

You're gonna have a wonderful life together.

You're just nervous about the wedding, that's all.

Yeah, I know, I know, you're right, Anthony,

but, you know, I can't help wondering.

What if I did do something else, huh?

I mean, once you're married, that's it.

All I know is there's a bunch of guys out there

no smarter than me who are making, what?

50, 100 grand a year, you know?

Rob, let's just say those dreams of yours come true.

What would you be dreaming of then?

A wife, a home, Gail.

(chuckles)

Yeah, maybe you're right.

(chuckles)

Have a doughnut.

All right, I'll have a doughnut.

ANTHONY (whispers): Happiness and love.

�

That's not the way

I showed you.

I'm sorry. I, uh...

I must've been thinking about something else.

I bet you were.

What's that supposed to mean?

Never mind, just stay out of the backroom!

Why? I was just... I said

stay out of the backroom!

�

Didn't get home till after 5:00 this morning.

This was no ordinary club I was in, you know.

After midnight, everybody goes up to this private room.

They got roulette wheels and crap tables.

In one hour, I'm up $7,500.

What happened to your cheek?

What this? Mmm.

Ah. Things got a little out of hand.

But you should've seen the other guy.

(chuckles)

The shoes feel great.

Did Rob tell you about his little adventure?

Yes, he did.

Three guys.

Next time, don't pick a fight.

Let 'em take your damn wallet.

I'll have these for you in a couple of days.

Okay, thanks. Bye-bye.

(doorbell tinkles)

All right,

what really happened last night?

What do you mean?

Do these look familiar?

Mr. DeMarco's shoes.

Were they comfortable?

I don't know what you're talking about, Anthony.

Yes, you do!

You wore these last night,

and the other pair the night before.

All right, okay, so I did.

So what?

I mean, what is it with these shoes, Anthony?

What kind of magic is this?

I mean, I put these shoes on

and, uh, I can do things I was only dreaming about.

I can-- I can go to fancy places.

I can throw money around.

Anthony, make me a pair of shoes like this.

No.

Why not?

They're not for you.

I only make... I know, I know.

You only make the right shoes for the right people.

That's right!

You don't belong in those places.

You're like a child that only wants things

that he can't have. That's it, isn't it?

Just because you can't get in,

that's why you like it. No, that's not it.

You only like to do things the easy way.

You never want to work for anything!

Shut up.

Don't you tell me to shut up.

I know what's best for you!

No, you don't! Yes, I do.

Just listen. You're so smart,

how come you're just a shoemaker?

Not good enough for you, huh?

Okay. Go.

There's the door.

I just want more than this, Anthony.

There is nothing wrong with this.

Am I so bad off?

I have a wonderful wife,

my own home, money in the bank.

So I don't have an apartment with a swimming pool inside.

Who needs that?

Rich people want to prove they're rich.

That's crazy!

You're right. You're right.

Look, I'm sorry.

You mean...

I don't have to lock up every shoe in the house, huh?

(chuckling): No.

(phone rings) I got it.

Hello? Gail.

Yeah, I want to see you tonight.

Definitely.

Okay.

Yeah, I love you, too.

Bye.

Feel better?

Yeah.

Oh, my.

Look at the time.

Mr. Coventry's shoes.

I gotta have them ready by 5:00.

Donald Coventry?

There's a guy who knows how to live.

I mean, he owns half of Manhattan.

He's got his own ball club.

He's got a...

(sighs)

I'm just kiddin'.

I am.

ANTHONY: Good fortune.

(mechanical whirring)

(mechanical whirring continues)

(mechanical whirring continues)

I'm here to pick up Mr. Coventry's shoes.

I'll get 'em right away.

How is he these days?

I thought you knew.

He's being buried tomorrow.

(groans)

(glass shattering)

NARRATOR: The dark side is always there.

Waiting for us to enter.

Waiting to enter us.

Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight.
