Thank you, Miss Penny.

We'll be in touch.

Uh, I know I can do better. I just, I didn't start it right.

May I try again?

No, no, it was fine.

Really.

Thank you very much.

Hey, what happened?

They didn't like me.

I thought going all out and putting on this dress would help, but it didn't

make a difference.

What do you mean? You can sing and dance just as good as anyone else who's

auditioning. Just as good doesn't cut it.

There's just too much competition out there. I'm never going to stand out when

everybody else is so good.

Sure you will.

You know why?

Because you have something they don't. What?

Personality.

Thanks.

How did your piano audition go?

I got the job?

Of course you did.

Maybe I'm just fooling myself.

I don't want to keep wasting my time if I'm never going to get anywhere.

You just can't give up.

Do you know how long it took me to be good at playing the piano?

Days.

Look, I know talent when I see it.

You were meant for show business.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.

I am half crazy.

falling in love with you.

It won't be a stylish marriage.

I can't afford a carriage.

But you look so sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

Louise! Louise!

Louise!

Where'd she come from?

I have no idea.

That's odd, isn't it?

Anybody know who she is?

No. What happened?

I found you passed out on the floor.

Can you stand?

Thanks, buddy.

That's, uh, Benjamin.

No DeLorean.

No flux capacitor.

Are you sure I'm not dead?

What year is it?

Maybe she hit her head.

It's 1923, of course.

You better get yourself together.

You're up next. Up next for what?

The audition.

Estella Stare broke her leg, and they have to replace her act by tonight.

Tax collectors getting closer. Still we have fun.

There's nothing surer. The rich get rich and the poor get poorer.

In the meantime, in between time, ain't we got fun?

Even if we owe the grocer.

Don't we have fun?

Tax collector is getting closer.

Mm-hmm, what fun.

There's nothing sugar.

The rich get rich and the poor get poorer.

In the meantime, in between time, ain't we got fun?

That was stupendous.

What a sensation you'll be.

You're hired.

I'm just wild about Harry.

And Harry's wild about me.

The heavenly blisses of his kisses fill me with ecstasy.

He's sweet just like chocolate candy.

Or like the honey from a bee. Oh, I'm just wild about Harry.

Is that all for me? It certainly is.

You're a hit! The crowd loves you!

I can't believe it!

Congratulations!

You're gonna be a star, kid.

You think so? I know so! The house is gonna be a sellout.

Mark my words.

Jerry! Jerry, do you hear that?

We're giving Louise a 7 o'clock slot from now on.

Oh, my God.

I've been waiting for this for so long.

I've always wanted this kind of success, and I finally did it in 1920.

I would have thought this was my decade.

What do you mean?

Oh, God.

Even if I'm dreaming, even if this isn't real, I couldn't be happier.

It felt so good to hear them cheer for me.

You know, a gal could really get used to this.

It seems that success suits you.

Take me to celebrate?

Uh, yes.

Yes, of course.

Like in the Great Gatsby.

The what?

Oh, right. That's 1925.

Anywhere. Anywhere we can sing and dance and drink champagne.

it's not the cotton club but we can dance and sing

okay oh that's so sweet bunny

thank you benjamin right shall we

i

love the piano

I love the piano. I love to hear somebody play.

Upon the piano, the grand piano, it simply carries me away.

So you can keep your fiddle and your bow. Give me a P-I-A-N-O-O

-O.

Wow.

I must admire you do everything with conviction.

You know your mind.

what you want.

It's refreshing.

And your talent... intoxicates me.

We could... We could have a theater in the Catskills.

We could run away and make beautiful music together.

Oh my god, you did not just use that corny line on me.

What? Wait, that isn't a line yet, is it?

You barely know me, Benjamin.

How can you say you want to run off with me?

Wait, what was that you said about the Catskills?

Well, there's lots of vaudeville theaters in the Catskills.

You could have your own show and be the star of it.

I could pick my own material and my own roles.

Okay, let me think about this.

No penicillin.

Dying during childbirth.

World War II is coming up, and then there's the stock market crash.

Oh, this is a real, real Casablanca moment.

If this is really happening, then I'll stay and become a star.

You'll stay?

Can I trust you?

With all the stars in the sky, with all the water in the sea, with all the...

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay. Smile for the camera. It's European.

It helps keep memories. Let's spin.

I closed my eyes. Okay.

I know. Let's spin again.

Oh my God, I'm so dizzy.

Oh, Luis.

Luis.

Who is it?

Who is it?
