And one, and two, and one--

Time out, honey!

Hey! I've got birds in my stomach.

I wish nine o'clock would get here.

Relax, and take five.

One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.

And one and two, and one and two.

That's enough for now, honey.

Ohh.

God, I wish I hadn't
changed that step at the last minute.

I'm gonna fall flat on my face with it.

Oh, forget it and relax a while.

Have a pickle.

Aww, I love you.

You no-good thief.

Baby, you shouldn't talk like that.

Come on, how did you wangle 'em this time?

Well, this wasn't like
the orchid job I pulled in Phoenix.

That one had a certain finesse.

Honestly, I really meant
to buy them, but I was broke

and suddenly, 3,000 gardenias
passed in front of my eyes,

and I went out like a light.

And when I came to,
I was clutching a couple of them

- in my hot, little hand, and I love you.
- Mm.

Guy, wouldn't it be wonderful if Bressler
could get us spotted at the Wilshire?

- Mm.
- What a showcase, huh?

Oh, I hope they like us.

Like us?

I can see us a couple of years
from now, baby.

We're in the South of France.
Everybody's crazy about us.

We're up to our ears in dough
and turning offers down like mad.

Our next stop's London.
We're a sensation, of course.

Then we take a vacation.

Venice, nothing but gondolas
as far as you can see.

Back to New York. Take in all the shows.

- Then open at the Copa.
- Oh, yes.

- Suppose we lay an egg tonight.
- How can you say those things?

Well, look how long we've been working,
and where's it got us?

Look, we weren't good enough. We needed
this time and every minute of it.

Now I think we're ready, and I got a
feeling this is gonna be really it.

Oh, what a man.

Uh-uh! Come on, man. Back to the grind.

How do you expect me to concentrate?

All right, let's take it
from where the foils hit the ground now.

- Oh, no, honey, no!
- I know it!

- I just can't seem to get what you want.
- Yes, you can.

And don't go to pieces.
All I want you to do

is cut down on the step
when you travel towards me.

- Don't make it so broad, it looks ugly.
- All right!

Well, you're the one I'm trying to sell.

- Well, don't snap at me.
- Baby, I don't mean to.

It's just that it's our closing number,
and I want you to look great.

- Will you do it, please?
- All right.

That's it! That's it. Yes.

Well... how was it?

Great. Now, will you try it again?

Ohh.

It's me, honey!

Come in!

For you, baby. Oh, God!

I bought 'em, so help me. Come here.

- We made it, we made it!
- Made what?

Bressler, the booking agent
from the Wilshire, he was out front,

came back to my room, as big as life.

- And?
- And we're in the Wilshire for two weeks.

Count 'em, baby, two weeks.

- Tonight we celebrate!
- Ohh!

- Go on, now, you've got a day job.
- Wait a minute.

Give me something to keep me goin'.

Mm! Don't overdo it, will you?

All right. Go on, I've got my own
costume to take care of.

Okay, honey.

Come on, hurry up,
While the champagne's cold!

- Oh, that was wonderful.
- Here's a towel.

Hurry up, I got your coat for you.

Thank you.

- Got it.
- Sit down, make yourself comfortable.

- Ouch.
- Good enough?

Fine.

Put a little fizz
behind your ears for good luck.

My folks used to split a bottle
before opening night.

They used to say the grape's lucky.

Well, here's looking at you,
for years and years.

For years.

You know, you've got the darndest mouth.

It all crooks up at the corner.

Can drive a man crazy.

- More?
- Sensational.

Not for now, that's your quota.

- Now listen to me.
- I'm listening.

Okay, what's the verdict?

Guy, it's the most
beautiful thing I've ever seen.

- Ah-- You paid for it?
- Mm-hmm.

- Well, you know what I mean.
- Don't worry, honey.

You won't have to wait for me
while I do a stretch.

I paid cash, and when I get back to LA,

I'm gonna pay cash for the license, too.

Of course, there's the matter of getting
your father's consent.

And proof that I can earn
a couple of bucks

in case you get tired of hoofing.

I thought you'd never ask me.

What took you so long?

Oh, I...

I always knew you really
had talent as a dancer.

I just wanted to be sure
I could keep up with you, that's all.

Keep up with me?

Who has all the ideas for the routines?

Who designs my costumes? Who sees that I
eat enough? Get enough sleep?

- You do.
- Well, don't get sore.

What would I do without you?

Someday, you're gonna produce
your own shows, you're gonna--

You're gonna be one of
the most important men in our business.

You wanna be my agent?

Guy.

I'm so happy, I don't know what to say.

Then why don't you be different from other
women and shut up, huh?

Why pretend

That I'm the only one

Why pretend

This thing is all in fun

Why pretend

I'm not

Just another love affair

Just another fool you've met

Yet I don't care

You know something? This number'll work
with our old swing waltz routine.

Remember the arrangement that little trio
made it with the other night?

Well, I wanna pinch the idea.
Sound good to you, baby?

Now I know what I want.

What is it, honey? What's the matter?

Oh, God. I feel so sick.

What do you mean? What's wrong?

I don't know, I just hurt all over,
and my head's aching so.

You're burning up.
Come on, I'm gonna take you to a doctor.

Stand up, baby.

That's it. Come on.

Now, then, dear.

All right.

Sorry. The neck is very stiff, isn't it?

All right, now.

Where are her parents?

Her father lives in Los Angeles,

and her mother passed away
a couple of years ago.

This young lady's been working very hard,
hasn't she?

Yeah, we've been putting in long hours

and doing two shows a night,
rehearsing in the day.

Yes, and probably
not getting enough sleep.

- Getting chilled after rehearsals, huh?
- Yeah, I guess so.

Now, how long did you say
you've had this sore throat?

Couple of days.

My head aches so,
and I just wanna sleep all the time.

Yes, I see.

- I'll be right back.
- All right, Doc.

Oh, God.
Honey, don't worry. Honey, don't worry.

I love you. I love you.

Long distance. I want the General Hospital
in Los Angeles, and hurry.

General Hospital?
Admissions office, please.

This is Dr. Hugh Taylor
in Balboa speaking.

I'm sending a patient right in,
her name is...

Miss Carol Williams.

That's correct.

Oh, she'll be there
in about an hour and a half.

Right.

Suspected polio.

You know,
you should be bringing me flowers.

They had me quarantined for 14 days.
During which time,

I found out the stock market
was down three points,

Gable said it isn't true
about us getting married

and Paris said skirts
are two inches shorter.

By the way,

my folks send their love from Buffalo.

Hey, they lined up a television show.

That sounds wonderful, Guy.

Well, the rest has done you good.

Always said this man worked you too hard.

Aw, she's a goldbrick.
Breakfast in bed type, you know?

That's me. Just like to be pale
and interesting and lazy.

Uh, well, I've got some things to clear up
downstairs in the records office.

I'll leave you two alone for a while.

Oh, Dad, you don't have
to do that, really.

I will be right back.

Talk a little sense into her, Guy.

What did he mean, “Talk a little sense"?

Will you shut up,
I just wanna look at you.

You know,
they're gonna love you at the Wilshire.

Guy, the Wilshire's out.

The doctor didn't have to tell me that.

- But Carol, I--
- Please, Guy. Let's not kid each other.

I can take it.

Be kinda nice,
staying in my own bed at home.

No rehearsals, no costumes.

Nothing. Nice life.

Look, Carol, you're not going home.

Your dad and I talked to the doctor too,

and he gave us the name
of a couple of places

that'll put you right back
on your feet again.

Honey, this is just the beginning.

We even got you a private room.

- You what?
- Sure, at the greatest place you ever saw.

And baby, when they're through,
you'll walk out of there.

Walk.

I'll never walk or dance again.

I'm no good to anyone anymore.

You've gone through
a lot of trouble for nothing.

Can't you understand, Guy?
I just wanna be left alone.

Yes, darling.

That's the way you feel now.

But I know my girl.

You're not the kind
that gives up, are you?

Going up.

Face the front of the car, please.

How's the Fleap today, Len?

Flies don't like him, and fleas won't have
anything to do with him.

Pretty tough.

- Floor, please.
- Five, please.

See you later, Gus.

- Oh, Crux, how's the boy?
- Okay, Len.

Good.

- Which way is 506?
- Just hang on and follow me.

- Did you hear what I heard?
- What's a Fleap?

You got me.

Hello, Butch.
How are the lessons coming along?

Fine, Carlos.

- Miss Williams?
- Mm-hmm.

Here we are, end of the line.

- This is nice, isn't it, honey?
- Very nice.

You've got a private room,
just as we told you.

I'll be fine, thanks, Dad.

Yeah, this'll work out great.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Thank you.

They can stay a while, Miss Williams.

Dad...

Guy..

Would you mind giving me a few days
to get settled?

I think I'd like a little time to myself.

Sure, honey.

You bet, Carol.

Now, you will try, won't you?

You see, you're the only woman I have.

I need you.

I just want to be left alone.

I am... quite alone now.

Mustn't scream.

All right.

Thank you, Miss Freeman.

Now, first thing after breakfast
tomorrow morning,

you'll meet Eliza Martin.

She'll be your physical therapist.

I'll outline to her a whole program
of muscle reeducation for you.

And if you respond
the way I think you will,

later on you'll have
some work in the gym with Red Dawson.

He's our corrective therapist.

Cigarette?

Carol...

Some of us in this business
used to make a big mistake.

A mistake?

More of a human error than a medical one.

We didn't tell a patient the whole truth.

We let false hopes grow,
and that was dangerous.

Go ahead and say it, Doctor.

I know it already.

I don't think you do.

You're going to walk.

What?

Will I dance?

Too soon to say that yet.

You have quite a long pull ahead of you.

And you'll have help. Lots of it.

Now just don't try to go too fast.

Don't get ahead of yourself.
You'll just build up disappointments.

I see.

Thanks for telling me the truth.

I haven't told you everything,
my dear, not yet.

Well?

Doctors don't make miracles, Carol.

We're learning more all the time
about the human body.

But all our knowledge doesn't mean a thing

unless the mind and the heart are helping.

There must be a will to walk.

I'll try, but I don't really believe.

Sounds odd, I know,
for a doctor to talk of his own troubles.

I wanted to be a surgeon once.

But I interned in a polio ward back East.

A surgeon needs the full use
of his right hand.

I thought of giving up all together.

But I wouldn't trade
what I'm doing now for anything.

Now, you'll be fine.

Here.

You may want one of these later.

You want the door open or closed?

Leave it open.

I may as well see what's going on.

Hey, what's going on here?

Go away!

Got a cigarette?

Sure, take them!

If you're gonna cry all the time
and make a pest of yourself,

why don't you keep the door closed?

Get out!

- Oh, brother.
- Go on, get out!

I'm goin', I'm goin'.

Hold. Hold.

And let go. You know, Carol,

in a few weeks, we'll teach those muscles
to work all over again.

Now, again, pull up.

Pull. Pull.

Don't be so impatient. It takes time.

You can't force them before they're ready.

Now, hold. Hold.

Hold it. Hold it.

And let go.

You probably
won't believe this now either,

but in a few days,
this won't hurt anymore.

I'll take your word for it.

Okay, now, up again. Pull.

I don't care what Mr. Judd told you.

He's not running this organization. What?

Oh, that deadbeat, I wouldn't give him
a dime for a cup of coffee.

I wouldn't give him the right time.
Oh, no.

No, nobody's gonna make a chump
out of B.S. Brownlee! No.

He's eight payments behind
right this minute.

He doesn't even cut his grass.

What kind of a Happy Home is that? Oh, no.

- Can I help you?
- I don't know.

My name is Richards, Guy Richards.

I have an appointment with Mr. Brownlee.

No, I'm telling you that Friday is E-Day.
E is for eviction.

No, he's got to go.
Out in the street, that's right.

Furniture and everything!

Out! That's my final word.

- Cigarette?
- Thanks.

Y'all, that's my final word, I tell--

Just a minute. Miss Townsend,
is that young fellow here yet?

- Oh, yes, Mr. Brownlee.
- Well, send him in.

Now, I don't wanna
discuss this any further.

- It's safe now.
- Thanks.

- No, no, I tell you.
- Good luck.

No, well, he's got to meet his payments,
that's all. Good-bye! Oh, Mr. Richards?

- I'm very glad to know you.
- Thank you.

- Have a chair.
- Thank you, sir.

Well, I suppose you want
one of our Happy Homes, huh?

Ah, yesiree,
they're little dandies, all right.

Well, yes, I would like one, but--

Well, that's fine. You know,
you're a very wise man.

You're making a very smart move.
A Happy Home

is one of the wisest investments
a man can make.

- Yes, but--
- Oh, I know what you're worried about.

The payments. Now, if you're a veteran,

- we can make things very easy for you.
- Well, wait--

We mustn't forget what
those boys did for us over there, must we?

- What you don't know--
- Unfortunately,

I didn't get into the struggle myself.

I was a 4-F. Punctured ear drum, you know.

- Yes, but--
- Well, c'est la guerre.

- Oh, have a cigar.
- Mr. Brownlee,

what you don't seem
to understand is I'm a veteran

who wants to help you
sell those Happy Homes.

- Help me sell them?
- Well...

I could sell Happy Homes like hotcakes.

Yeah? What makes you so sure?

- You been in this business very long?
- I've never been in it,

that's why I'm fresh, full of energy.

- I've got ideas.
- Have you got a license?

License? What kind of license?

What kind of a license?

Oh, you're fresh, all right.
You're so fresh, you're green.

Don't you know you've got to
have a license in this business?

Otherwise, it'd be full of chiselers.

- I'll get one.
- Now, wait a minute. Not so fast.

I haven't hired you yet.

What line of business
have you been in up to now?

Show business. Show business.

What did you do in show business?

- I was a dancer.
- A dancer.

Well, look, kid.
Why don't you go back to your dancing

and leave this business to me, huh?

Mr. Brownlee, if you let me
walk out that door,

you're gonna miss out
on a big hunk of manpower.

You've gotta keep
an open mind in this world.

Why, if you told me you were a dance,
I'd give you a try.

- You would, huh?
- Sure, you might be another Astaire.

Who knows? Take me,
I might make history for Happy Homes.

- And you'd never know. All right,
- I'll never know it.

No salary, just percentage.

Pardon me for interrupting, but I forgot
to tell you, Mr. Judd won't be in today.

Oh, why not?

Well, it's kind of a long story.

And the same one.

Well, don't tell it to me,
I don't wanna hear it.

I'll show him.

You're hired. I don't know
why I'm doing this.

Oughta have my head examined.

- You start tomorrow.
- Oh, thanks, Mr. Brown--

I'll help you pick it up.

Well, you certainly got off
to a great start.

All right, all right.
I'll do it. Go along, will you?

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

- Thanks. Thanks a lot.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Arms forward. Sideways.

Switch. Forward, sideways, stretch.

Forward, sideways, stretch.

Forward, sideways, stretch.

Forward, sideways, stretch.

Forward, sideways, stretch.

Forward, sideways, stretch.

Forward, sideways, stretch.

Forward, sideways, stretch.

Forward, sideways, stretch, stretch.

That's all for today, kids.

We'll try a new series tomorrow.

All right, Carol,
I'll get your chair for you.

Now, easy does it. There we go.

Upsy-daisy. Now, there we are.

That's a girl.

Now, Carol,
I'd like you to meet an old pal of mine.

- Len.
- Hello.

- Cute girl you got there.
- Uh-huh.

I was gonna introduce you two,
but maybe I'm a little late.

Well, I get around.

You know, we might have a date some time,

if I can learn
how to get on the bus first.

- How you doing?
- Oh, I'm having the time of my life.

Well, I'll leave you two
to talk things over.

- Well.
- Well. Good-bye.

Now bend your knee, Carol. Pull.

Come on, pull.

Pull it up hard.

And hold it. Hold it.

Hold.

Hold. Hold, and let go.

All right, pull it up again. Pull.

Come on, pull hard. Pull.

Pull hard.

There! You did that!

You mean I did it all by myself?

Yes, you did. I didn't help you at all.

Nice work, Carol.

Take you off wheels
and put you on crutches.

Out you come.

Listen, honey,
this isn't the English Channel.

Now don't be too eager and overdo it.
Out you come.

You wanna be all pooped out
for the picnic this afternoon?

- Uh-huh.
- And that goes for you, too, Josie.

Yes, sir.

Women. They can drive you crazy, honey.

You won't give me any trouble
after we're married, will you?

That's my girl.

Whenever I want To take a siesta

There's only one place I wanna go

A little place Down below the border

To Guanajuato, Mexico

But if I mention Old Guanajuato

You say, no, no No, no, no, no, no

I'd say, caramba Don't say we're going

To where you always Wanna go

Oh, why must we always Go to Guaymas?

When I wanna go To Guanajuato

Why must you always win
Oh, why must I give in?

Oh, why must we always Go to Guaymas?

Why must you always Play at Guaymas?

When I like to play At Guanajuato

Why must you play And play?

Why must I play And play?

Oh, why must we always

Go to Guaymas?

Where's Guaymas?

- Mexico.
- Oh.

Guanajuato is the place I wanna go

In the land Of gay, old Mexico

So, why must we always Go to Guaymas?

When I wanna go To Guanajuato

Why must you always win

Guanajuato Guanajuato

In the land Of gay, old Mexico

Av, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Why must we always

Go to Guaymas?

- Tell me what's in it.
- Oh, it's nothing.

Just a little something I picked up.

- Can I open it now?
- No, open it later. You won't like it.

- I won't like it?
- Well, it isn't what I had in mind.

You know, it has a lot of stuff on it
and pieces of lace.

Stuff and lace?

Yeah, I don't do well in stores.

I just want a little present to celebrate.

- Celebrate?
- Hold tight, honey.

I finally got a job
with a real estate outfit.

Happy Homes, Inc. Not bad, huh?

Guy, you can't do that.

You've got a career ahead of you.

You've worked too hard to give it up.

Don't be silly. This is just to fill in

till you get well.

Oh, I will get well, darling.
I know I will.

Why, Dr. Middleton says
I'm starting on crutches anytime now.

Oh, what did I tell you?

Keep that ring polished up.
It's going to a wedding.

Are you sure
you're not doing this just for me?

You will take any offer you get,
won't you?

Listen, I don't wanna
stick out my neck without you.

Anyway, I'm a big man
in the real estate game.

- Guy?
- Yeah.

You wouldn't fool me, would you?

You talk too much. Cut it out, will you?

You heard what the man said.

Say, you wouldn't happen to know
who won the eighth

- in Santa Anita, would you?
- No.

Oh, well. Better to live in ignorance.

I wish we were alone.
I'd like to really hold you close.

Oh, me too.

Oh, darling.

I feel almost beautiful.

I wish you could see how beautiful I feel.

I'm going to work hard.

But I'm going to do it my way...

for you, darling.

I want to be perfect when I'm with you.

I want you to look at me

and see me as complete...

and whole as you are.

That's what I want.

I'll show them. I'll walk now.

I won't wait. I won't!

No, no, no!

Too bad.

Now this picture, Pete, the Fleap packs
his bag in the dead of night, see,

and leaves Fleapville.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

"I'll show him," he says to himself.

"I'm gonna go out
and look for gold in the desert.

I'm gonna come back to Fleapville

the richest Fleap in the world."

- Does he?
- Not so fast.

That doesn't come till tomorrow.

Now, look, don't you tell
the other kids that I told you

this bedtime story
before they get a chance to hear it.

- I promise.
- All right.

Just watch me put
the finishing touches on here, then.

Then you gotta scram. Mrs. Brown's
probably looking for you right now.

There.

Go on, scram.

- Good-bye.
- Bye.

Hi.

Oh, hello.

- Cigarette?
- No, thanks.

Interesting. What'd you have in mind?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

That's what I thought.

What on Earth would that be?

Well, I'd like you to meet the Fleap.

It's a cross between a flea and a fly.

Sprang out of here.
The kids are responsible.

I tell 'em a bedtime story each night,

and once I got stuck for an idea.

So that's how the Fleap was born.

You see, he's neither a flea nor a fly,

and it drives him bats being nothing,

so he sets out to prove to the world

that someday he'll be something.

Get it?

Mm-- Oh, sure, sure.

You know, you're really quite a character.

- Am I?
- Yes.

Look, it's none of my business,
but they're worried about you around here.

Worried? Who?

Dr. Middleton, Red--
Pretty nearly everyone.

See, you started out so well,
really trying.

Then you just gave up.

Now don't snap my head off.

But you're wasting their time. Yours, too.

- I've got plenty of time.
- Maybe you have.

But you're keeping
a lot of other people out of here.

People who really have some fight in 'em.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.
That was a little rough. Forgive me?

There's nothing to forgive. I deserved it.

Come on, now, make me feel better.

Give out just one little smile.
It won't hurt you.

All right.

- What's so funny?
- Take it easy.

I was just thinking how I lost up
a good railroad once.

You see, when it hit me-- the fever,
I mean-- I kept right on working.

I was an assistant freight dispatcher.

You know, you route the cars
to their proper destination.

Oh, brother, I certainly had a fever.

A carload of oranges
going to Chicago wound up in Seattle.

I sent 75 automobiles
back to Detroit where they started.

How's that?

You think you'll ever get your job back?

Oh, sure. They were nice about it.

They finally found everything, too.

You'll be surprised at what you'll do

when you've made up your mind
to live again.

Hey, I've got an idea.
I'm gonna take you to a dance.

- A dance?
- Sure.

Gonna take you to our square dance
Saturday night.

You ever done any square dancing?

Yes, and I don't think you're very funny.

But I'm serious. We have 'em all the time.
Come on, how about it?

I have to go now.

See you Saturday night.

I wouldn't count on it.

Allemande left with your left hand

Go right on in to right hand grand

With a right and a left
roll around the ring

Hand-over-hand with a dear little thing

Keep on going around the square

Oh, all around with a lady fair

Now keep on going till you meet your mate

Wheel right around and round one day

Take your little prize
all around the world

All around with a sweet little girl

Take a little ride all around the ring

Go all around with your sweet little thing

Ladies in center men back to the barn

Now get to center and form a star

With the right hand pull across

And back to the left and don't get lost

Pass your partner and pick up the next

With the right pull tight 'round

Round, and around, and around it goes

Left, center and the left hand star

Back to the right to the draftsman's bar

And keep on going right where you are

I can't do it, Len, get me out of here.

You can do it, salty. Come on out.

Round you go. Good, old chap. Come on.

And come meet around town

Rounding the center of the hall

Where the beats are heavy past the hall

Ladies go right and the gents go left

Put 'em on ahead and feel their hip

The ladies go, "Gee,"
and the gents go, "More"

Through the woods to the secret ball

Keep on going on down the valley

Aha, boys, you're doing fine

Turn about and face your partner

Gonna have a dance in our own backyard

Face your gal and cross the set

Hurry up, boys, you're not through yet

Everybody, face the middle

And listen to the big bass fiddle

Everybody, forward and back

And keep in time with a wiggity-whack

Paired knuckle, right and round

Now keep on going on into town

Side, knuckles, right hand back

Now get back on the same old track

Here we go on the old mess wagon

And hind wheel broke and the axle dragged

And even couple left hand's out

Keep on going on into town

Odd couple, left hand back

Get back home on the same old track

Cheer to the right and hook with the left

Now weather vane around
and and feel her hip

Now spread that weather vane way out wide

The wind's a-blowin' from the other side

Ladies duck under and turn right around

And everybody ride on the merry-go-round

Half chain back to the man you know

Four hands round and a do-si-do

Ladies will see and the gents will know

On a eenie, meenie, miney mo

Only one more do and on you go

Once in the hand, round you go

Now don't you settle for my big toe

Now swing her reed by, swing her, Joe

Grab the legs and let her go

Now meet the next gal don't you wait

Now meet your partner
that sweet, little lady

Now grab your honey and round her leg

One toward the right
and one toward the left

Get the next girl, feel her hip

Get the next gal down the line

Aha, boys, you're doing fine

Now get the next gal on the side

Swing her high and swing her wide

Pull right in the right hand's on

Now back by the left but cutting in far

With the right hand going
to the lady in the back

Break with the left now pull right through

Now chug right along like a big choo-choo

And now you're doing the do-si-do

A little more singing a little more do

Hello, baby.

- Hello, Guy.
- Hey, you look terrific.

For you.

- You know Len, don't you?
- Sure. How are you?

Hi, how are you?
Thanks a lot for the use of your girl.

Not at all.

- I'll see you.
- Please don't go, Len.

Look, I'll see you in a little while.

I never saw anything as cute as you
getting muddled up there.

Yes, must have been a million laughs.

I guess I shouldn't have barged in,
but I had to see you.

I wanna talk to you.

I'd rather stay here.

You better fasten your safety belt.
We're going places.

Of course this guy
I'm working for is crazy, but...

- Maybe they'll go away soon.
- Sure.

No. Looks like they're dug in
for the summer.

Things are slow getting started at first,

but, well, the houses
are starting to sell like hot cakes,

then the commissions will roll in.

Then who knows?

With your looks, why,

we may own a string of Happy Homes.

That isn't all.

I've got something that's been burning a
hole in my pocket all week long.

Remember, I asked you to marry me.

- Your wedding ring.
- Yes.

How 'bout it?

How about nothing, Guy? I'm not for you.

- It can't work.
- What's wrong, baby?

What happened to you, Carol?
Last week, you--

That was last week,
when I was kidding myself.

Kidding yourself?

Yeah.

Thinking I could walk.

Maybe even dance again.

Well, I found out.

I don't understand.

I'm sorry, Guy, I--
I couldn't live up to them.

Stop kidding yourself
like I did, it's no good.

I mean, selling houses isn't for you.

- Find yourself a new partner, and--
- And?

And forget everything else.

This is the first time
I ever saw the ham come out in you.

There's more to living than twirling
around a dance floor, you know.

We could make a go of it.

Sure.

We could both try and make a go of it.

Pretty soon,
there wouldn't be anything left for us.

Just two people putting up a front.

I don't know what's happened to you,
but whatever it is,

I thought you had more guts.

Stop it, Guy. Stop it.

I don't want you to carry me
up and down stairs the rest of your life.

I don't want you to turn into a nursemaid
because I'm helpless.

I'm glad you came tonight.
You gotta look into the future.

You saw me being clumsy.

Haven't you seen enough?

Don't try to make up my mind for me.

I know what I want.

I do my own thinking.

Maybe someday you'll learn
that when people love each other,

they don't stop loving
when things go wrong.

Leave me alone, Guy!
I just wanna be left alone.

Carol, are you crazy?
What's the matter with you?

I'm a cripple, Guy!
That's what's the matter with me.

Carol.

I'm not gonna let you do this.

I'm not, do you hear?

- I said good-bye--
- Listen to me!

Please go.

Carol.

Okay.

Just remember, they'll always fit.

So long, baby.

I'm so sorry.

No, I'm sorry for you.

You know, you really are mixed up.

Tomorrow night, you'll see the Fleap

rescue a stagecoach singlehandedly.

Say good night to him now.

Good night, Fleap.

Good night, Len.

Good night.

Well, hello.

I haven't missed a night in a long time.

Really?

I think you're wonderful, Len.

Carol

Gee, Ronnie, that's wonderful.
You're certainly improving.

Carol Williams, Carol Williams,

report to Dr. Middleton's office.

Wonder what that is. I'll be right back.

All right, Bill,
here's your pass for the weekend.

- Thanks.
- Now, behave yourself.

- I will, Doc.
- So long.

So long.

Now, if all my patients were like that.

- Got a pass, Bill?
- Yeah.

Hello, Carol, come in.

I wanna talk to you. Please, come in.

Hello, Carol.

I have a little prescription
for you, Carol.

Mr. Richards has asked
if he can take you for a drive.

Please, honey. I've got the top down.
It's just like spring outside.

- No, thanks all the same.
- After all, I'm your doctor.

Run along while the sun's still warm.

- But Dr. Middleton--
- Come on, let's go.

Thanks, Doc. Not at all.

- You look wonderful.
- Do I?

Yep.

You getting along all right?

- Yeah, yeah, fine.
- That's good.

- How 'bout you? How's the job going?
- Great, great.

Don't be silly!

You think hearing that bothers me?

Turn it up.

Let's cut this out. You don't know how
I've wanted to be near you.

Day after day,
I've wanted to hold you like this,

and you know you've felt that way, too.
Haven't you?

- Let me go!
- No!

I don't care what you want anymore.

Carol-- Carol, be a woman for me!

You don't know how I need you.

I can't be a woman for you.

Not the kind I want to be.

I told you we were through and I meant it.

Why can't you leave me alone?

Why did you have to come back to me?

You're a tough little girl,
aren't you, Carol?

I didn't realize
how tough you were until just now.

I pity the next guy you walk over.

Because you will, baby.

Take me back!

I wasn't the cause
of what happened to you.

I'd have cut off my arm
if it happened to me, but it didn't.

It was just a rotten break, that's all.

But it happens to people
every day in the week.

You've just gotta
have guts enough to face it.

- Take me back!
- Sure, I'll take you back

with the greatest of pleasure.

Right back to those
four stinkin' little walls

you've built around yourself.

Who'd have thought it?

Maybe it's the sick who are selfish,

not the people who sit around
and hope and wait.

How dare you say things like that to me!
How dare you!

Yeah, that's right, baby.
Who am I to open up my big mouth?

Forget it.

Back you go!

You know, you could get me fired.

I knew where he kept it all the time.

- Have one? Mm-mm.
- Got a match?

Yep.

Thanks.

I really came in to say I'm sorry
about what happened today.

Think nothing of it.
I'm not the type for this business.

- Come on, have one.
- Mm-mm.

You could drop me at the bus stop, though.
My car's on the blink.

It's a pleasure.

I left some old paper clips
and last year's calendar

in my old desk for the new man.

Hey. You look very pretty tonight.

How about some dinner?

Aren't you going to see someone tonight?

No, not tonight or any other night.

I haven't seen someone for a long time.

Let's go.

All right.

Make yourself at home.
I'll fix the coffee.

Don't you think
you should have a sandwich?

- You hardly touched your dinner.
- No, I'm fine, thanks.

Nice.

Where'd you get the Jap sword?

That's a memento of my marriage.

- Your marriage?
- My marriage that was.

He was in the army and brought it home.

What happened to him?

Nothing in the war.

You separated?

- Divorced.
- Oh.

They used to call them
hasty wartime marriages.

We just weren't for each other.

Young, like you.

Stop talking like the voice of experience.

Maybe we're for each other.

Wouldn't that be something?

Yeah.

Yeah, that would be something.

Sorry, I must've dozed off.

I thought we were gonna have some coffee.

That was two hours ago.
I think the sleep's done you more good.

- What's wrong?
- Just about everything.

- I'm sorry.
- Are you?

Now you're not gonna start
asking a lot of questions, are you?

- No.
- That's good.

You know, I don't get you.

Simple.

I like you, Guy.

But I'm not a very good part-time girl.

I don't like three on a date.

What are you talking about?

Carol was with us tonight.

Just now you thought
you could forget her by--

Well, it won't work for you or for me.

Why don't you see it through?

She doesn't wanna let me see it through.

She won't even answer my calls.

Just cut me loose.

Sent me on my way.

You didn't believe her, did you?

I played a big scene like that once.

We both got tricked by words.

Deep down, it was just the opposite.

- What are you gonna do?
- I have no idea.

Know something?

Your heart isn't gonna be in any job

except the one you're good at.

Why don't you go back to being a hoofer?

Maybe I will. Maybe I will.

Mm, don't go away.

You're nice. Real nice.

Well, we're all set.

I borrowed Meryl's comb
and brush and blue ribbon.

How am I gonna look pretty
when you check out of here?

Oh, I'll be around for a while.

Mac says you've made me
look like a new woman.

That's something coming from a husband.

- Josie?
- Yeah.

You don't have to tell me
if you don't want to.

- Tell you what, honey?
- Well...

Has it always been the same
between you and Mac?

- After you became sick, I mean.
- The same.

Mac and I were married after it hit me.

- After?
- Yeah.

You don't think it was wrong of me,
do you?

No. No, I guess not.

Not if you were sure, both of you.

It was Mac's idea.

Said it would keep him
on the straight and narrow.

Give him something to work for.

You know something? What?

He's given me so much to work for, too.

Nothing could come between us...

now that we're
going through this together.

Nothing could ever come between us,

now that we're going
through this together.

You'll be surprised at what you'll do

when you've made up your mind
to live again.

Tough things happen to
people every day in the week.

You've gotta have guts enough to face 'em.

I'm sorry for you.
You really are mixed up.

When people love each other,

they don't stop loving
when things go wrong.

Now, when you feel you have your balance,
take your hands off the rails.

The first step is the hardest.
After that it's easy.

- I'll try, but I don't think I can.
- Yes, you can, Carol.

-Come on.
- I'll fall, I know I will.

Carol, be a woman for me.

You don't know how I need you.

Be a good girl, Carol. Come on, now.

You'll be surprised.

That's it.

Lift your legs.

Bend your knees.

Posture.

That's fine.

Fine.

You're doing beautifully,
but we're not through yet.

When you turn around,
watch yourself in the mirror.

It'll help you remember
the form of walking.

And Carol...

forget the rails. You won't fall.

I need you.

Carol.

I need you.

- Slowly.
- I need you.

It's all coming back to you.

That's it!

I made it! Did you see? I made it!

She's a jolly good fellow

For she's a jolly good fellow

For she's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny

Happy birthday, Carol.

Better blow them all out, now, Carol.

Otherwise it means more than one marriage.

- Oh, no! More!
- Try again, honey!

That's-- Did you make a wish?

Yes!

Who's for the first piece?

Oh, me! Me, me!

Give it to Dr. Middleton,
he runs the place.

- We've gotta be nice to him.
- Oh, thank you.

Darling, many happy returns of the day.

And good luck on coming of age.

Now you can vote.

- To Carol.
- To Carol.

- Congratulations.
- Congratulations, many more.

When you walk out of here,
there'll be a lot of people...

who love you watching you go...

wishing you all the happiness
that's possible.

I just wanna thank you for one of the
nicest birthdays I've ever had.

You've all taught me a lesson.

And one I hope I'll never forget.

You made me ashamed of myself for...

for being so full of self-pity.

Believe me, if that old feeling
ever comes back, I'll...

I'll be the first
to kick myself in the shins.

Happy birthday, Carol.

Hello, Guy.

You all know Guy, don't you?

Hello, Guy. I'm so glad you're here.

Thank you very much.

We'll be back in a little while.

I'm awfully sorry to have barged in like
this. I won't keep her long.

Now, Guy, do me a favor.

- Keep her as long as you like.
- I'll do that, thank you.

What are you thinking?

Well, that you're an awfully pretty 21.

And I like that dress.

It was Dad's present to me.
He picked it out himself.

You should've seen him
when he brought it down this afternoon.

He was just like a kid.

Do you think we could sit for a while?

Sure. Come on.

That's it. I'll take these for you.

You know, I couldn't
buy you a dress, but, well...

here's my present.

Oh, they're lovely, Guy.

I'm glad you asked me to your party.

Would've seemed funny not being here.

I've spent so many birthdays with you.

Thank you for coming.

I wondered if you would.

- It's been so long, hasn't it?
- Mm-hmm.

It's different from the last time
we were together, isn't it?

People who have
meant something to each other

should never be bitter, should they?

Oh, no, Guy.

I wondered if you'd answered my letter

because we did say so many bitter things.

I was so wrong, wasn't I?

No, we were both wrong, Carol.

But that's over and forgotten now.

Could we go for a drive, Guy?

I wish we could, but...

well, I'm leaving
for Las Vegas in an hour.

See, I took your advice after all.

You're leaving?

Yes.

You were right.
The real estate business wasn't for me.

I got fired,
tried a couple of things after that.

Then decided to go back to hoofing again.

So I got a couple of hotel bookings.

Chicago, Kansas City.

Finally found myself another partner.

Sounds wonderful.

Is she good?

She's not bad.

She's no Carol Williams, but...

then, who is?

Well...

I wish you both all the luck
in the world, Guy.

I'm sure you'll have it.

Thanks.

You never looked better.

Whatever you're doing,
keep it up, won't you?

Oh-- Oh, sure.

I'm doing beautifully.

There's no stopping me now.

- Got a cigarette for me?
- Here.

Well, I guess I better be going,

I'd like to say good-bye to your dad.

Will you walk back with me?

No, I'll...
I'll just sit here for a while.

Being 21 sort of takes it out of you.

You go on. You'll be late.

Good-bye, little one.

You know, I...

I'll think of you.

Good-bye.

Your dad's a little bit worried about you.

Don't you think you oughta come back in?

I was just coming back.

Just came to say good-bye.

He's leaving for Las Vegas.

Yes, I saw him for a second
on the way out.

It's so funny.

It's taken me all this time
to feel like a woman.

It's the flattest feeling I've ever known.

How's that for a laugh?

Oh, Len, tell me I'm a woman.

Tell me I'm not a failure.

Hold onto me tight.

I feel like I'm breaking up inside.

I don't know what I am or where I'm going.

Carol...

Len.

Please love me. We could--

We could always be together.
We belong together.

We're alike!

I'd make you happy. I swear I would!

You're very much in love with him,
aren't you?

Carol...

you're too young to settle for comfort.

Loving and being in love
are two different things.

You know, I don't have to tell you.

The bells must ring for you,
and that isn't the way it is with us.

Well, then, I'm so ashamed.
Please forgive me.

These bells you talk about,
you mean they don't ring for you

as far as I'm concerned, is that it?

I wouldn't let them.

For anything in the world.

What's she like?

Oh, she-- She has red hair.

She's a cute, little runt.
Only comes up to my shoulders.

Cooks like nobody's business.

You never told me about her. Is she nice?

Where does she live?

I don't know. Somewhere, I guess.

I haven't met her yet. But I will.

Yes. Yes, of course you will.

Bring him back, Carol.

No, he has-- He has a life of his own.

He has things to do.
Things he should've been doing all along.

All right. We won't talk about it anymore.

Come on.

Give out with just one little smile.

Won't hurt you.

That's it.

When you're through with it,
bring it back,

and we'll all carve our initials on it.

Sure. Sure, I'll do that, Josie.

All ashore that's going ashore,
All ashore that's going ashore.

Dr. Middleton wants to see you, honey.

I don't know why I spoil women like this,

except that it's your graduation day.

- Well, so long, Josie.
- Good luck.

- Your purse, honey.
- Bye, Betty.

Bye, Carol.

I'll meet you in the therapy room
at four o'clock.

Now remember to be patient
with yourself, Carol.

There are still
a few adjustments to be made

before you can go back
to a full, independent life.

For those adjustments,
you'll have to be your own physician.

- I know.
- However, I want you to come back

and see me in 90 days
for a final check-up.

Until that time, you're going to be
pretty much on your own.

Yes.

- May I ask you something?
- Of course.

How is Len, Len Randall, really doing?

What are his chances?

Well...

- May I?
- Of course.

He's got quite a pull ahead of him, Carol.

His case is different from yours.

But he'll be fine.

- If only he could--
- Now don't worry about Len.

He's the healthiest man I've ever known.

He has peace of mind, my dear.

And that's a very precious thing.

It gives him... a sort of power.

- You've noticed it.
- Yes.

I think I felt it all along.

I thought so.

Well.

Now, good luck, Carol.

Thanks.
Thanks so more than I could ever say.

Oh.

Now.

Good-bye.

Keep your hands off the rails, Carol.

You won't fall.

All right, Buck. Sorry I kept you waiting.

That's okay, Doctor.

Good-bye, Gus. So long, Carol.

You know, you look very pretty.

- Red, I--
- Well, you're all set.

Off you go, honey, and take it easy.

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day.

I'm pretty sharp, aren't I?

With all the latest sayings.

Well, so long.

Hi. Your dad's waiting for you.

Suitcases are stored and everything.

- What's the matter?
- Nothing.

I'll be fine now.

Well, I'm going out there, on my own.

Sure you are.

Good-bye, Carol.

Go on.

Come on, darling.

Come on.

Come on.

You can make it.

That's my girl.
