[fun upbeat orchestra music]

- Oh, I see a move.

Look, eight on the nine and
then your king comes up,

and that plays the queen.

- Will you leave
these cards alone?

You think you can
show me something?

- Why don't you ask me
what the flowers are for?

- All right, Mr. Bones,
what are the flowers for?

- Well, this is of an
anniversary, Gabbo.

Do you know we've been
together just two years today?

- Two years too much.

Flowers are for dead people.

[yelling in foreign language]

How often did I tell you
not to put a hat on the bed

because it's bad luck?

- Oh, hats on the bed
and spilling the salt

and black cats and
walking under ladders,

you make your own bad luck.

- Yeah?

Where's the coffee that
I've asked two hours ago?

- Right there by your side.

It's been there all the time.

- Ice cold.

- But yesterday it was too hot.

- Never mind what
I said yesterday.

One day it's so hot that
you burn your mouth,

and the next day it's so
cold that you freeze it.

- I'll get some more.

- Well, Otto, my boy,
how do you feel today?

- Oh, I feel fine, thank you.

How do you feel, Gabbo?

- Gabbo would feel better
if he wouldn't have

to play Patterson this week.

- You wouldn't be
playing Patterson, dear,

if you called Petrus, the agent.

He has better times for you.

- Yeah?

Why should I call him?

Let him call me.

They should be glad to
get an act like mine.

They can't get Gabbos every day.

Coffee was too hot.

If I want anything done
right, I got to do it myself.

- How well you fixed
for steady company.

- Otto, how often did I
tell you not to be so fresh?

- Okay, chief.

How well you fixed
for steady company.

- Otto, now that's enough
or I'll put you away.

Ladies and gentlemen,
[clearing throat]

I will now do the impossible.

I will smoke a cigarette
and drink water

and at the same
time use my voice.

Very well done, Mary.

[tray clattering]

All right, there, Professor.

[audience applauding]

[upbeat orchestra music]

- Uh, I'm sorry.

- What have you done?

I'll show you, you clumsy fool.

- But you told me to-

- But I didn't tell you
to drop the tray, did I?

Go to your room.

[speaking foreign language]
[distant upbeat music]

- Oh.

- And you were rotten, too.

Of all the stupid,
bungling idiots

I've ever seen in my
life, she is the worst.

[speaking foreign language]

- Say, now somebody ought to
knock that guy's block off.

- Yeah, I'd like
to do it myself.

[speaking foreign language]

- How often did I tell you how

and when to put the
props on the stage?

Are you so stupid that
you will never learn?

- But I did exactly as you told-

- You did not.

Don't say you did
when you did not.

- But I did.

- You did not.

Did I tell you to drop the tray?

No, I won't stand for you
talking back to me like this.

Who the devil you
think you are, anyway?

- Well, I will talk back to you

and I won't stand it any longer.

- Oh, you won't, huh?

Well, let me tell you something.

I am the greatest
living artist in my line

in the whole world and I'm
not going to have my act

spoiled by you.

- Your act, your
act, always your act.

Oh, you're a fool.

You're so wrapped up in yourself

that you're blind
to anyone else.

It's always, you, you, you.

- Keep quiet.

I won't have you saying
such things to me.

Neck tie.

It's my act.

And when it's bad,
they blame me for it

and you are the one that makes
it bad with your bungling.

- Oh, whenever the
act goes wrong,

I'm the one you
always blame for it.

- Because you're
always to blame.

- The Gabbos are
at it again, honey.

- Can you believe it?

The poor dame
stands for anything.

He's always blowing her off.

- Yeah, he blames
her for everything.

She seems like a nice dame, too.

Oh, that guy's cuckoo.

- Well, he must be, the
way he talks to that dummy

like it was another person.

- Yeah, can you beat
it, talking to a dummy?

- There must be something
wrong with his stomach.

- Stomach, nothing, there's
something wrong with his skull,

but that guy's got
a screw loose, sure.

- Well, it's none
of our business.

- And I won't stand
for it any longer.

- Oh, you won't?

- No, I won't and if you
weren't such a helpless fool,

I'd leave you so quick it
would make your head swim.

- So?

Well, let me tell you something.

I don't care when
you go, where you go

and the quicker, the better.

There's the door.

- Do you mean that?
- Yes, I mean that.

- Well, then I
guess I'd better go.

And if that's all the
appreciation you have for

someone who's always tried to
do what was right, then you

don't deserve consideration.

- Who asked you
for consideration?

I don't want anything from you.

You go.

Where could you go?

What could you do without me?

I'm the act, not you.

Everything depends on me.

- Well, I'm not depending
on you any longer.

I was getting all
right before I met you.

And remember this, I can still
sing and I can still dance.

- Go ahead, go on,
nobody's stopping you.

Why did you stay that long?

- Oh, I only stayed because I.

Oh, I don't know why I stayed.

Little Otto there is the
only human thing about you.

- Oh, you think so?

- I don't think it, I know it.

Oh, I've tried so hard
to understand you, Gabbo,

but you're impossible.

The only sweet things
you have ever said to me

have come from Otto.

I'm quitting the act tonight.

I might do better.

I know I can't do any worse.

- [laughing] What would
you do without me, huh?

Go, go on, get out.

What do I care?

- All right, Gabbo, if
that's all the two years

we've been together mean
to you, why, I'm sorry.

- Gee, that guy's been beefing
ever since he opened here.

If you think that I'm
tough to get along with,

you ought to get a load of him.

- Oh, you don't do so bad.

- Goodbye, Otto.

I'm sorry to leave you
because you're the only thing

about him that seems
to have a soul,

even though you are
only made of wood.

And if you're as great
as you think you are,

why aren't you playing
the real theaters,

doing better things?

- You mind your own business
and go as you said you would.

I'll show you.

I'll show them all, whether
I'm the Great Gabbo or not.

All right, Gabbo,
but remember this.

To get along, to succeed,
forget yourself once in a while.

Think of someone else.

Give in sometime.

And listen, we only
take out of this life

what we put into it.

Goodbye.

- Oh, Mary.

- Shut up.

You know we can't call her back.

We can't call her back.

Don't you know that?

- Hmm, she thought I
would coax her to stay.

- It looks like she's
gone this time, for good.

- What do I care?

Do I need her?

No.

Do I need anyone?

No.

She won't be far.

She'll be back.

- Not this time, Gabbo.

I don't think so.

- You don't think so?

Did I ask you?

What do you know about it?

- Shh, the girl quit the act.

She left him flat.

- Well, who is that
he's talking to now?

- The dummy again,
he always does that.

- That guy is sure nuts.

- You are not going to let
her worry you, are you?

- Worry me?

Nothing, Otto, nothing in
this world can worry me.

- Says you.

- Yeah, says me, says me.

- Huh-uh-uh.
- Aw, shut up.

- You don't need a drink, Gabbo.

- No, I didn't ask you, did I?

- You were to quick,
Gabbo, too hasty with her.

- Too hasty?

She spoiled my act.

She's a fool.

- Oh, no, you are
the fool, Gabbo.

- That's enough, Otto.

Do you want me to
put you out too?

[speaking foreign language]

- You must admit she was sweet.

- Eh.

- She helped us too.

She combed my hair, painted
my face, shined my shoes,

und now she's gone.

[speaking foreign language]

You will miss her, too.

You need her.

- No, I need no one.

- She woke you in the
morning, made your coffee,

put you to bed, put
cold cloths on your head

when you were sick,
a good girl, Gabbo.

- Will you keep quiet?

- I guess you love her, Gabbo.

♪ Und maybe a baby will
climb up on her knee ♪

♪ Und put its arms around
her, but how about me ♪

- Otto, if you don't keep
quiet, I'll smash you.

I'll destroy you so that you
never make another sound.

Do I want to listen to you?

No.

I need no one.

What can she do without me,

me, Gabbo?

She'll be sorry when she sees
my name in blazing lights,

the Great Gabbo,

the Great Gabbo.

- Says here that Fully and
Mandell are gonna split, honey.

- Yeah, well, I know another
act that's going to split

if we don't get some work soon.

- Yeah, you said it.

By the time we get a date, we
won't even remember the act.

- Well, you'll never get work
laying on that bed all day.

I can tell you that.

- Oh, will you stop?

I'm doing the best I can.

- Yeah and that's terrible.

You don't try.

Did you see in the "Variety"
where that guy, Gabbo,

was a hit in the
"Manhattan Review?"

- Yeah, can you beat that?

Why, it's not so
long ago that we

worked with him in Patterson.

That was the act that split.

Yeah, he got wise.

He worked alone.

I could do a great single
myself but that guy was cuckoo.

- Cuckoo?

Well, I wish you'd get
as cuckoo as he is.

He's on Broadway.

I'll say that for him.

- Oh, you've been handing me
that line ever since Gabbo

got in a big show.

- Say, here.

- Well, I can't help
it if they fall of.

Gabbo was a flop in Patterson.

We was a hit.

- Yeah, in Patterson but
he's make good in New York.

Try that on your piccolo.

- Yeah, and so would I
if had a break like that

and didn't have a dame
razzing me all day.

Hey, try that on your oboe.

- You'll never
get to first base.

You've got to have class.

Say, we got a chance.

Now we're laying off, let's
go and see this guy, Gabbo.

You might learn something.

- All right, all right, I want
to get a load of this Gabbo,

just for fun, but don't think
that he can learn me anything.

- Never mind, my men will
attend to everything.

[happy upbeat orchestra music]

- Isn't he the funniest
little thing you ever saw?

- Which one, the
man or the dummy?

[laughing]

So tell me, Bob,
what's the idea?

- Why, that's the Great Gabbo.

He's the star of the
"Manhattan Review."

Why, he comes here every
night with that dummy.

I think it's sort
of a publicly stunt.

- The Great Gabbo, eh?

Well, he certainly
gets plenty of service.

- I'll say.

- But they tell me he's great.

- He is, but he's a
little, uh, screwy.

Why, he talks to that thing
and he takes it seriously.

Look at him.

- Yeah, I think you're right.

- Oh, I think he's marvelous.

- Now, it's the squabs
with the sherry wines.

- Oh, yes, I hope
they are well cooked.

I don't care for myself, but
Mr. Gabbo is very particular.

- Truffles al espagnole.

- Oh, yes, the truffles,
the beautiful truffles.

- Isn't he the cutest thing?

Uncanny, the way he
makes that dummy work,

almost sounds as
though it were human.

- Yeah, he'd make
a perfect husband,

speaks only when
you pull the string.

[laughing]

- All husbands should
be like that, darling.

- Oh.
[laughing]

- Well, there's our big star
over there, showing off again.

It's a wonder he wouldn't
get wise to himself

and do his act in the theater.

- But that's part
of his contract.

Personally, I think
it's great publicity.

- Oh, that fellow
loves to do it.

He doesn't think
much of himself.

No, it's a mistake.

- But you don't understand him.

Sometimes, I actually pity him.

- You pity him?

Oh, that's funny.

There's a man completely
satisfied with himself.

Of all the egotistical
fools I have ever seen,

he is the worst.

- Oh, I know how you feel

but I know him a lot
better than you do.

You must admit he is great,

even though he does say
so, himself, the poor soul.

- Boy, you're too much for me.

Come on, are you ready?

- I'd like to sit here and
finish my coffee, dear.

You don't mind, do you?

I don't go on until almost
9:00, I have enough time.

- All right, dear, I'll
trot over to the theater.

Now, don't you
waste any sympathy

on that swell-headed nut, Gabbo.

Bye.

- Bye.

- Is everything all right, sir?

- Oh, yes, everything is great.

- Thank you.

- Except the squab should
have been shot years ago.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Everything else okay?

- Oh, yes, only the truffles,
a little like leather,

und the caviar,
let's not mention it.

Outside of that,
the dinner was good

but the coffee was terrible.

Ooh, quite a crowd, tonight.

- Yes, sir, and I think
they all came to see you.

I have a request for a song
from a party over there.

Would you oblige?

- Oh, anything for the ladies.

Tell their leader I
sing my lollipop song.

- Play "The Lollipop Song."

Gabbo, caviar and lobster too.

We were both very, very
happy when we met you

in this show with us again.

I think Otto would like to
have you do these things

for him again, comb
his hair, fix his tie.

Wouldn't you, Otto?

- Yes, Mary, I would love it.

Will you come to see me sometime
again in my dressing room?

- Well, maybe I will
but I won't promise.

It's getting late.

I think you'd better
go to the theater.

- Holy smoke, it is late.

Come on, Mary, you come with us.

We'll ride in our
little Rolls-Royce.

We'd love to have you with us.

We have everything now, Mary,

nice places to live

I think I could fix it with
Gabbo if you would come.

- Be careful. [laughing]

- Isn't he charming?

Would you come with us, Mary?

- I'd be glad to, Gabbo.

- Mary, it's Frank.

Can I come in?

- Come on in.

- Hmm, Gabbo, eh?

Did you drive to the
theater with him?

Certainly, there's no
harm in that, is there?

- No, but I don't like it.

I don't want you to
have anything to do

with that swell-headed nut,
kissing your hand, bowing down,

clicking his heels, and
all that imported baloney.

- [chuckling] Well,
he's clever enough to be

the star of the show, I'll
say that much for him.

- Yeah, well, I don't
care what he is.

I don't want you to have
anything to do with him.

- Don't be silly.

He's all right.

- Yeah?

Well, I don't think so.

Well, did he send these, too?

- Uh-huh.

- Oh, for the love of Mike.

Gabbo, Gabbo.

You don't see me running around
with other girls, do you?

Mary, I tell you it's all wrong.

- Oh, Frank, you're all
excited over nothing.

He merely drove me over
in his Rolls-Royce.

I thought it was
very nice of him.

- Yeah, well, I don't.

- Perhaps not, but maybe
I like Rolls-Royces.

He, uh, asked me to go to
supper with him tonight.

- Well, you're not
going, are you?

- Oh, I don't know.

I haven't given
him an answer yet.

Well, I'll give him
his answer for you

and the answer is,
you're not going.

- Oh, don't be foolish.

Don't get excited over nothing.

Go to your dressing room and
get ready for the next number.

- Well tell me, are
you going or not?

- I tell you, Frank, you'd
better go and get ready

or you'll be late.

- Well, you'd better

I'll come there
as soon as I can.

Tell them to play it over

It's all your fault.

I'm supposed to be on the stage

No, I don't want to put it on.

I don't want to

Get out!

Where are you going?

- I'm going home, madame.

Mr. Gabbo is too much
for me to handle.

- Oh, please, don't go, Louis.

I know that he's awfully
hard to understand

but be a little

You know, he's very nervous.

- Yes, he's fine when

[dramatic orchestra music]

[audience applauding]

- Ladies and gentlemen, I
have the privilege to appear

before you in what I might
call, with all due modesty,

the greatest ventriloquial
exhibition of all times.

I've had the great honor to
appear before all crowned heads

of Europe by royal command.

May I present to you, Otto,
the famous Otto, my other half.

- Half?

How you get like this?

3/4, you mean.

- Otto, I think you are
entirely too modest.

- Well, I'm right.

I'm the act, not you.

Everything depends on me.

- Say, by the way, Otto,
why were you late today?

- I went to the dentist.

- Oh, does the tooth still hurt?

- I don't know.

He didn't give it back to me.

Ha, ha, ha, how comical.

- Uh, how is your little,
uh, baby brother, Otto?

- Oh, he makes me so mad.

He cries und cries und cries.

- You know, Otto, I think that
child is absolutely spoiled.

- Oh, no, they all
smell that way.

- Otto, little boys should
be seen but not heard.

You better keep quiet.

- I will if you let me.

Oh, we have a fine family tree.

My father was a pole, und I'm

Marvelous, should make screams

Is that your husband
or your boyfriend?

- Otto, how often did I
tell you not to be so fresh?

Now, don't let
that happen again.

- Oh, he blames me for
everything, he blames me.

- Just for that now, you can't
sit any longer on my knee.

Do you understand?

- Suits me all right.

I have sit on much better knee.

Are you wise to that?

- Now, all I want out
of you is silence.

And very little of that.

- Oh, yeah?

If I keep quiet, we
both starve to death.

Put that in your

- You keep quiet and I won't

- All right, shut up.

- What's that?

- You said if you were me
you'd keep quiet so shut up.

You are me.

Oh, the kid's clever.

I was just passing by and

I thought I'd straighten

You remember, Otto, how she
used to arrange things for us?

And now she's doing it again.

Look.

Mmm, not too hot

just right, she
was always right.

- Maybe she is coming
back with us again?

- Maybe? [chuckling]

stood in the wings before

and he never helped you down.

You must have given him
plenty of encouragement.

- Don't be ridiculous.

- Oh, I'm not ridiculous.

Everyone in the company
sees how you are acting.

- Do you think I care
if everyone sees me?

What difference does it make?

I'm not doing any harm.

- I know, but it looks bad.

- What looks bad?

Does it look bad if I talk
to the star of the show?

There isn't one of them in
the company that wouldn't be

glad if he'd even look at them.

Besides, there's a
sweet side to him

that none of them understand.

- Hmm, and you do?

- Yes, I do.

- Now, I'll tell one.

- Otto, did you hear that?

They are already
quarreling over me.

Of course, why would she
want to stick with him

when she has a chance
to come back with Gabbo?

You'll see.

We'll all be together again.

[shoes tapping]

[audience applauding]

- There you are.

Your little nose
was all scratched.

I think you've been neglected.

- You are the sweetest
girl that I know.

[laughing]

- Did you find the flowers
in the dressing room?

- Oh, Gabbo, they
were beautiful.

- Mary, why don't you ask
me what the flowers are for?

- All right, Mr. Bones,
what are the flowers for?

- Sort of an anniversary.

It's just two years
today that you've left us

and it's two years too long.

You know, looks quite
natural to find you in here,

combing Otto's hair,
fixing him up so nice.

- His little nose
was all scratched

and his hair was all mussed.

He looked kinda lonesome.

- Yes, but he doesn't know
how it feels to be lonesome.

I know how it feels to be alone

and lonesome.

- That doesn't sound
at all like you, Gabbo.

- I know it doesn't, but
things are different now.

Things have changed.

I've changed, too.

We all make mistakes.

The Lord knows I've made
mine but I realized it.

I never knew how
much you meant to us

until you had gone away.

Mary, we missed you very much.

Did you miss us, too?

- I missed Otto.

- Only Otto?

Didn't you miss anybody else?

I know you missed
Otto because he,

he always said
nice things to you.

- Yes, Otto was always sweet.

- Mary, two years ago, that
night when you left us,

you said to me, we only get out
of life what we put into it.

No one knows that
now more than I do.

I know I was selfish.

But I was anxious to get
to the top and I did.

Now, I am the Great Gabbo.

I have my success.

- Uh-oh, better knock wood.

- Oh, that's all
foolishness, knocking wood

and going under ladders
and black cats crossing.

We make our own bad luck.

[chuckling]

Yes, I have my success,

but what good is success

if we can't share it with
someone you care for?

And that's what I want to do.

Mary, I have arranged
a little supper party

after the show
over at Phillip's,

just myself and you and Otto.

I want to tell you all the
things that have been on my mind

since that night when you left.

- I'm afraid I can't go,
Gabbo, I have other plans.

- But don't you think
I've made plans, too?

Big plans, plans for the
future, plans for both of us.

It will be the Great Gabbo

and,

and you.

- But that's impossible, Gabbo.

You can't make any
plans concerning me.

Oh, I should've told you before.

- Oh, that boy? [chuckling]

He means nothing, Mary.

- Oh, yes, he does.

- [chuckling] Not to me.

- He means everything to me.

We're married.

- Married?

- Yes.
- You're not!

- Well, I am.

I said he means everything
to me and I mean everything.

He loves me, and I love him.

That's all there is to it.

Oh, Gabbo, I'm sorry.

It's time for the finale.

You'd better hurry
or you'll be late.

Don't hurt your little
nose again, Otto.

I love you.

I always have and I
think I always will.

- Otto, did you
hear what she said?

She is married.

She loves him.

He means everything to her.

She said, I'm sorry, Gabbo.

Sorry for me?

Sorry for Gabbo?

- Well, I told him.

- What did he say?

- Well, there was very
little to be said.

I told him we were married

and that I love you and I do.

The reason I didn't tell
him before is because

two years ago, we were-

- I know all about that, honey.

- Oh, you do?

- Mmm-hmm, and that's
what why I thought it was,

I wanted him to know
we were married.

I thought it was best that way.

Don't you, honey?

- Oh, it was the
only the thing to do.

You know, Frank, I don't
think I knew my own mind,

and I think it's only
fair that I tell you that

I married you to
get away from him.

Oh, I'm sorry if that hurt you,

but I didn't know whether
I loved you or not.

But I do now, honest I do,

and what has happened

made me realize
it more than ever.

I haven't been very
sweet to you tonight

but if you'll forget
about it and forgive me

you'll never be sorry,
honest you won't.

What do you say, huh?

- I say, you're
all right, honey,

and if you don't stop
this you'll have me

so choked up I won't
be able to sing.

- [Man] On stage for the finale.

- Beat it, beat, beat it, honey,

or I'll be doing a manly song.

- On stage for the finale.

- You heard it,
Otto, the finale.

But they can't have
a finale without me!

Can they?

No, let them wait.

Let them play it over
and over and over again.

The public can wait.

I don't care.

They must wait for
the Great Gabbo.

- On stage for the finale.

On stage for the finale.

On stage for the finale.

- Go on, go ahead
with your finale.

What do I care?

She loves him.

She didn't even
say goodbye to me,

only to you,

you stupid, wooden dummy.

Oh, I'm sorry, Otto.

I'm so sorry.

- All right, up for the finale.

Finale!
