[Applause]

May I say
your performance
was a bit ragged?

You were so slow
going around the throne,
I almost caught you.

Well, the audience
seemed to like it.

Whew! It's so hot in New York
in the summertime.

I'm glad we're closing
tomorrow night.

Wonder what happened
to the air conditioning.

Mr. Hiller probably
turned it off
to save money.

Oh, would you
blot my face, too?

Up here.
It's trickling.

And who's Mr. Hiller?

The house manager.
You ought to know that.

You've been
playing his theater for
the past year and a half.

Oh, is that
that evil little man
who comes around and pinches?

That's your department,
sister dear.

All I can say
is let Mr. Hiller keep
his air conditioning.

He can't take it with him,
and where he's going,
he'll need it.

Ha ha.

Oh, boy, it's hot.
Say, if ever I play
a king again,

I'm going to be
one of those
Asiatic boys

who just wears
earrings and a sheet.

Hey,
what's your hurry?

Pete.

Hi, Ellen honey.

I'm sorry
to keep you waiting.

You know my brother Tom,
don't you?

No, I don't believe
I've had the pleasure.

How are you?

I'm fine, sir,
and thank you
for asking.

I'll be out in 5.

Oh, my, Pete, you look
so nice and cool.

Make yourself at home,
won't you?

Sit down anywhere.

Oh, how was it, sir?

Hot.

Oh, your agent
stopped by
to see you, sir.

Irving? What brought him out
this clammy night?

He didn't say. He just
told me to tell you
it was imperative

that you and miss Ellen
meet him
at McGuffy's bar

next door right after
the performance.

Oh. Ellen.

Yeah.

Irving wants us to meet him
at McGuffy's.

Ok. How'd you like Pete?
Isn't he cute?
He's from the south.

No. [Southern accent]
Why, Ellen honey,

I never
would've guessed it.

He owns miles and miles
of tobacco land in Virginia,

and you ought
to hear him chant.

I met him 2 days ago
at Hilda swan's house,

and I'm simply
mad about him.
Is that all?

That's all.
Roger.

Miss Ellen
seems quite taken,
doesn't she?

This will probably
be one of those long affairs
that drags on a whole weekend.

Shh.
Radio: The big news overseas

concerns the royal wedding
in London.

The British capital is
already festive and happy

in anticipation
of the wedding, which is
still several weeks off.

Shh. Shh.
Towel.

As for the Princess,
the most closely guarded
secret since radar

is her wedding gown.
The Princess herself

will see it
for the first time
this weekend.

Please, Mr. Bowen.
Chester, I...

In other news,
in Miami, Florida,

a new tropical
hurricane

seems to be
approaching...

Can I talk now?
Yes, sir.

You know, Mr. Bowen,

I danced
in Trafalgar square

the day her grandfather
was married.

Oh.

I'd give anything
to be there again
this fall,

wouldn't you?

Yes. I like weddings,

provided, of course,
they're not mine.

Oh, marriages are
very healthy, sir.

They say married men
live much longer
than bachelors.

If that's true,
they're only trying
to outlive their wives

so they can
be bachelors again.

Haven't you ever thought
of getting married, sir?

Once, as a matter of fact,
I did.

The young lady
changed her mind
at the last moment.

I've been deeply
indebted to her
ever since.

Good night, Chester.

Gee, I wonder
what Irving wants.

I hope it's
something that...

My gosh, what a muscle.
It's like cement.

Oh, it's nothing.
All us tobacco men
get kind of strong.

What from?

Lifting money.

Come now,
it wasn't that good.

Good night, Eddie.
Good night.

Good night, Eddie.
Good night.

He's the only stage door man
I know who isn't called pop.

Hello, will.
Gee, it's been
a long time.

Hi, Irv.

Oh, I couldn't wait for you
back stage tonight.

What is with that heat
over there? Who needs it?
So how was the show?

Well, the first act
was a little...

Doll boat,
how are you, baby?
Fine. How are you?

You look so sweet
tonight.

Ooh, I do, don't I?

Ok, come on, order.
I got news, big news.

Oh, Irving, can I
present Pete Cumberly?
Let's have it.

Well, how do you do,
Mr. Cumberly?
It's a great pleasure.

Thank you, sir.
That's very nice.

Who is this square?

Friend.
Tom Collins, please.

Nothing for me,
thank you.

Hit me with a rot.
Shall I give it to you?

Well, come on.
What is it?

This'll kill you.
My brother Edgar called
tonight from England.

He's the head
of our London office.
Been there for years.

The Mayfair theatre people
want your whole show
for London.

No.

But quick. They want you there
during the wedding season.

England during
the wedding.

I like that.
Oh, Tommy.

Ellen honey, does this mean
you'll be leaving me?

Oh, yes, Pete.
Isn't it wonderful?
When do we open?

As soon as possible.
Of course, you got to rehearse
the English cast first.

Hit me, son.

What about
transportation?

There's some French boat
leaving a week
from next Monday.

Which one?

Who knows what the name?
It's in French.

Don't worry.
I'll get you on it.

Ellen, this means
we'll be saying good-bye
in 10 days.

Oh, yes, Pete,
and I'm so happy.

Ellen.

Oh, hello, dick.

I was waiting for you
back stage.
That's why I'm late.

Ellen,
who is this fella?

Finish your drink, Pete.
Did you hear the good news?

We're going to England,
and we're going to be there
during the wedding.

What are you
doing here, sir?

What do you mean?
Who's he?

A friend.
What are you
doing here, sir?

I demand an answer.

Go peddle your papers,
will you? When do you leave?

That's an insult.

What's an insult?
What's the matter with you?

This is
terribly embarrassing.
I forgot all about dick.

Hope they don't
hurt each other.

I think we ought
to start packing.

I have to buy
all my new clothes
before I go over.

You'll have time.

I'll send
the rest of the company over
the week after you leave.

I wonder what
they'll be wearing.

I don't know. Pay the man,
will you, Irving?

Yeah, sure.
How much do we owe you?

May I?
Yes, you may.

And keep the change.

I have a little business
to take care of.
I'll meet you on deck.

Ok, sister dear.

Hello, Billy.
This is good-bye.

Thanks for coming down
to see me off.

It's hard saying
good-bye like this

after all we've
been to each other.

Oh, I know. It's been
a lovely 3 days,
but I'll be back soon.

Oh, dear, I must go now.

May I walk you
up the gangplank?

I'd rather you wouldn't.
You understand?

No.

Well, it's just
better that way.

Write to me, Billy.

I will.
Good-bye, Ellen.

Man: I'll miss you
very much, Linda.

I can tell you
that knowing you
these past few weeks

has been one
of the most exciting things
that's ever happened to me.

To me, too, John.

Pete!

Ellen honey,
I thought I went
to the wrong deck.

You haven't
much time.

Really? And I had
so much to say.

What?

Well, you're
gonna be away...

Yes, I know, Pete,
but what?

And suddenly knowing
you're gonna be away

makes me realize
my feelings for you,

so I thought I'd...
I mean... Ellen honey...

Visitors ashore,
please.

You'll have to go now.
Good-bye.

But,
Ellen honey...

You better hurry. Write me
what you had to say, huh?

I will.
Bye.

I can tell you,
Barbara,

that knowing you
these past few weeks

has been one of the most
exciting things that's
ever happened to me.

Oh, I'll miss you,
John.

[Boat whistle blows]

Good-bye, baby.

Good-bye, Irv.

I know you'll be a smash.

Now, if you want anything,
you ask my brother Edgar.

He's gonna meet you
at the hotel.

So long, Irv.

Bye.

So, listen,
have a good time.

So long, Ellen.
So long.

Bye, honey. Bye.
See you soon.

So long.
See you.

Hey, who you
waving at up there?

That girl
right there, see?

That's my girl.

Don't give me that.
That's my girl.

Hey, hey.

I'm betting 8 to 5
on Dixie boy.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. This is...

Fellas, now look...

Ohh.

Poor Irv.

Hold it. Now listen...

What a beautiful,
beautiful day.

Isn't it wonderful?

We don't know
a soul on the boat,

and we can have fun
together for a change.

Yeah.

Good day.

Good day.

Oh, well, I don't
know him, Tom.

Oh, ho ho.

Honest, I don't.
I want to write a letter.

Ok, baby. Don't forget,
we've got to rehearse.

What time
shall I meet you?

2:00 sharp in the gym.
I won't keep you long.

I'll be there.
Don't worry.

Now don't be late.
Ok.

[Whistles]

Good day.

Good day.

There's carbon paper
in the middle drawer

if you want
to make duplicates.

I'm not writing a letter.
I was just doodling,

waiting for an opportunity
to introduce myself.

Uh, my name is Brindale,
Lord John Brindale.

And what's yours?

Bowen,
duchess Agatha Bowen.

Oh, no, no.
Really, what is it?

Let's see, now.
"E.B."

"E."
is that Ethel?

Wait a minute.

Bowen. Why, of course.
You're Ellen Bowen,
aren't you?

You're doing fine.

It's very stupid of me.
I should've known.

Why,
I only saw your show
a few weeks ago.

Please forgive me.

Oh, that's all right.
I know you have a lot
on your mind.

Oh, I can explain
those 2 little episodes

that you witnessed
yesterday.

Oh, you can?
Yes.

Then go ahead.

Go ahead.

Well, you see...

They're both
terribly nice girls,

and they're both
so fond of me

that I... well,
I couldn't bear

depriving
either one of them.

You know how it is.
In order to be kind
to people,

one has to be
a very, very good liar.

T-tell me, why were you
following me?

Following you?
I was doing no such thing.

I was only saying good-bye
to a couple of...

The same?

Yes.

Does this sort of thing
happen to you
very often?

All the time. And you?

Constantly.

I guess we're both
2 kind people.
Yeah.

I have to get a stamp.
Do you live in New York?

No. I've been there
on business
for some time,

but I'm just
going home now
for the wedding.

The royal wedding?
Yes.

You're going
to the wedding?

I'm escorting
someone, yes.

You really are a lord,
aren't you?

I'm afraid so.

My, my.

Haven't you ever
met anyone who held
a title before?

Only Joe Louis.

Do you know
I'm very glad that
you're Ellen Bowen?

Why?

Because that means
that chap you're with

is your brother
and not your husband.

Do you know what I did
last night?

No. What?

I surveyed this whole boat,
and I discovered

that you were the most
attractive girl on board.

Well, thank you.

And I kept thinking that
"what a pity it is
she's married,

because that's
going to make things
terribly awkward."

But it isn't going to be
awkward at all now.

Thanks for the use
of the hall, purser.

Not at all.

If you see
my sister on deck,

will you tell her
I'm waiting for her,
please?

I will.
I like your boat.

Thank you, monsieur.

Oh, monsieur Bowen,
I have a favor to ask.

On every crossing, you know,
we have a gala benefit
for disabled seamen,

and I was wondering
if you and your sister
would dance for us

on that night.

Oh, we'd love to.
Just tell us when.

Just one number
would be sufficient.
We don't want to ask...

No trouble at all.

I know it's an imposition
to ask you two,
but I would feel...

We'd love to.
Don't worry.
We'll do it.

There's a fella that won't
take yes for an answer.

[Metronome ticks]

[Whistles]

[Metronome ticks rapidly]

[Whistles]

[Metronome ticks up-tempo]

[Jazz music starts]

[Whistles]

[Jazz music stops]

Oh, fine.
Thanks for showing up
at rehearsals.

Oh. Oh, John,
this is my brother Tom.
Tom, this is John.

How do you do?
Glad to know you.

I just picked up John
in the writing room.

So I gathered.
He's a real lord.

Oh, it's nothing at all.

Miss Bowen.
Yes?

Cable.

Oh, thank you.
Excuse me, please.

Oh, Tom... Tom,
it's from Pete.

Says he's very blue,
except for his eye,
which is black.

Uh, let's forget Pete
for this trip, shall we?

Excuse us.

Looks a little grim
out there.

Yeah.
It does.

Monsieur Bowen,
I'm wondering
if you and your sister

will dance right away
instead of waiting
until 10:30.

We're a little afraid
of the weather.

You mean, it might be
a little... rocky?

Yes.

That won't bother us.
We can handle it.

Thank you, monsieur.
Any time you say.

I better change my dress.

Pardon us.

[Laughter]

[Laughter]

[Applause]

What?

Isn't it wonderful,
Tommy?
It sure is.

[Telephone rings]

Hello? Yes? Oh, sure.

Yes. Do come on up.
Room 211, 12, and 14.

Ok.

Who was that?

Edgar Klinger,
Irving's brother.
He's coming up.

I'm so happy, Tommy.

I wonder what the Princess
is doing this morning.

Why don't you call her
and ask her?

Wonder what I'd be doing
a month before my wedding.

Probably trying
to figure a way
to get out of it.

Do you really
think so?

You know you would,
and so would I.

[Doorbell buzzes]

How do you do?
I'm Edgar Klinger.

Oh.

We didn't know...

That Irving and I
were twins?

No, we didn't.

Oh, I must say,
he should have told you,
you know.

After all, this is
a pretty box of pickles.
May I come in?

Well, of course.
I'm sorry.

How do you do?

So happy to meet you
at long last.

My, it's amazing.

Yes, it is rather,
isn't it?

I do hope the rooms
are satisfactory.

Oh, they're fine.
It's a miracle
you could get them.

Yes, quite. The wedding
has packed things up a bit,

but, uh,
then there are ways.

How's everything
in the theater?

Oh, seems to be humming.

The dancers are coming
to audition this afternoon,
the singers tomorrow.

[Telephone rings]

Excuse me.

Hello.

Oh, hello, Johnny.
How are you?

Ellen's boat romance:
John Brindale.
Do you know him?

Know the family.
Very old.

They do say
that young John is
a bit of a chaser.

Didn't have to chase
very hard after Ellen.
She stood still and waited.

This afternoon?
No, they're auditioning
all day.

Just a minute.
Tom, you don't need me
this afternoon, do you?

John wants me to drive down
and see his old country home.

I suppose
it's all right,

but I should think you'd
want to come along and see
who you're working with.

Well, I never notice
anyone but you.
John, I...

I want you home
for dinner.

And no dates at night
until after we open.

You'll come strolling in
at 4:00 in the morning

and be all tired out
next day.

Yes, papa. All set.
What time will you
pick me up?

Ok. I'll be ready.
Bye, John.

Shall we?

Yeah. See you at 7:00.
And be back.

Oh, I will.
I will.

Cheerio.

Good-bye,
Edgar.

Oh, and if there's
anything you need,
do call.

Thank you.

After you.

Tell me, old boy,
how are things in
the colonies these days?

Oh, fine. Fine.

[Whistles]

These English clothes
are terrific.

Frightfully amusing tie,
what?

Yeah.

Got a match?

Thanks. I hear that
shaving lotion's
great stuff.

Did you ever use it?

Oh, every day.

Sorry. I thought
you were him.

How odd. Thank you.

Well, I must get back
to the office.

You know where
the theater is,
don't you? Sure.

Well, I'll see you later.
Cheerio.
Ok.

Hello again.

I wish you'd stop
following me.

Following you?

I'm not a bit flattered.

Mr. Bowen. I'm Charles Gordon,
your stage manager.

Oh, it's nice
to see you.

Everything's ready, sir.

Oh, good. See that girl
in the green dress
near the end,

changing her shoes?

Yes, sir.

Let's begin with her.
They can each show me
a few steps.

Very good, sir.

Your name, please?

Anne Ashmond.

Thank you. Will you
begin, please?
Why, yes.

Miss Anne Ashmond.

[Piano accompaniment plays]

Will you try a few steps
with me, please?

Oh, dear.

Can't you dance
with a partner?

Well, I could
till a moment ago.

Well, try.
We'll take something
easy to start.

May I have
a pickup, please?

[Pianist plays pickup]

You should've seen
the expression on your face
when you saw me.

How did I look?

As if I were a dentist.

You dance very well.
Thank you.

I think you'll do fine.
Will I really?

Sure.

It's very nice of you
not to hold what happened
against me.

I do a little bit.
Well, what can I do?

You can have
dinner with me
some night.

Well, I should love to.

How about tonight?

Well, I don't know.
I, uh...

She'll do fine.
Pick you up at 8:00.
Thank you. Who's next?

Is it much further?
No. We're almost there.

My, you look pretty.

I know. What do you
have to do at the house?

Get the wedding present.
We sold practically
everything at auction,

except for one set
of China plates.

I was supposed to get those
when I got married.

Seeing there's precious
little chance of that,

we decided to hand them on
to the prince and Princess.

Why is there
precious little chance?

Oh, I don't know.

I think you have to enjoy
living with yourself

before you have nerve
to ask anyone else to.

Besides,
you know how I am.

Oh, here we are.

John, it's beautiful.

Yes, it was.

I think they're in here.

Oh, what a wonderful
floor to dance on.

Yes.

How long since anyone's
lived here, John?

Oh, about 5 years.

No one can afford
places like this today.

I imagine
you miss it terribly.

No, I don't think
I do anymore.

I just
don't have anything
to replace it with.

I say, what time
do you have to be back?

7:00 sharp.

Oh, I wish you could
have dinner with me.

I don't know
when I'll get another
free evening.

There's some sort of party
every night from now on.

Can't you?

I don't know.
You know how Tom is.

Will you try?

Yes, I'll try.

Good.

Hello.

Hi. Back on time.

How was
the afternoon?

Oh, it was wonderful.
How were your dancers?

Dancers.

What do you
want to do tonight?

Oh, I'm kind of tired,
Ellie.

I thought
I'd just skip dinner
and go straight to bed.

Would you mind?

Oh, no, no.
It's a good idea.

That country air
really knocks me out.

Yeah.
Sure you don't mind?

Oh, gosh, no.
As a matter of fact,

I think
I'll turn in right now,
if it's all right with you?

It's a good idea.
Yeah.

It's been a kind
of a rough day.
Yeah.

Good night, honey.

Good night, Tommy.
Sweet dreams.

Taxi, please.

Thank you.

Taxi.

Thank you.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

More coffee?
Thank you.

Yes, Ellie and I
have done quite a few
shows together.

Do you like to dance?

Yes, yes.
It's hard work,
but it's fun.

What made you
decide to dance?

Oh, a very silly reason.

How silly?

Well, when I was 11,
I fell in love
for the first time

with a boy much older.

12?

Mm-mmm. 13.

His name was Alonzo,
and I was so happy

that suddenly
all I wanted to do
was to dance,

so I figured
that if I danced
when I was happy,

I should be happy
if I danced.

Is that silly enough?

I think so.

I felt so good
about Alonzo

I used to close my eyes
and pretend I could dance
all over the floor,

walls, even the ceiling.

If you ever learn
to do that,

I can get you
a very good booking.

You want
anything else?

No.
Let's go.

You better not
take me home.

Why not?

It's a long way,
and besides,
this is Friday.

And Friday I have to stop
and see my father.

Oh, I'd like
to meet him.
Cabby!

All right.
Uh, what's
the address?

150 Mitchell street.

Cabby,
could you take us
to 150 Mitchell street?

Love to, governor.
Love to.

Wait, will you
please, driver?

Love to, governor,
love to.

See? That's my father.
He's the proprietor.

Oh?

Oh, dear. I do hope
he won't offend you.

He's quite impossible,
really.

He and my mum have been
separated for 3 years,

and I have to stop
here every Friday
and get her money.

Why doesn't
your mother do it?

They're not speaking
to each other.

So I says to him

"McBride, every time
you get 4 drinks

"under that belt
of yours,

"you become
a bloomin' nuisance.

"And what's more,
every time
you fall down,

you chip a piece
out of the bar
with your chin."

So I says,
"from now on..."

Annie! Well,
my little girl,
how are you, dear?

Hello, Jamie.
Tom, this is
my father.

Father, this
is Tom Bowen.

Glad to know you,
Mr. Ashmond.

Pleased to meet
you, sir.

To the royal couple.

Bowen, eh?
I used to know
a Willy Bowen.

Good old Willy.
Married a girl

we used to know
named Gladys Oxley.

I don't think you
knew Gladys, Annie.

Very happy they were
for years.

Then one night,
good old Willy

threw her right
out of the window.
Nobody knows why.

But I always figured
that they must've
had an argument.

I don't suppose you'd
be any relation.

Why, no. I don't
believe I have any
relatives over here.

Over here?
I'm from America.

America?!
Get out of my pub!
Leave the premises!

I'm not on speaking terms
with the United States!

Jamie!
How dare you
bring

another yank
to my tavern!

Out, do you hear?
Out!

Wait. What's
the matter with
the United States?

Matter? You owe me
money, you do.

Where is it?
Here, look at this.

£2.10 run up by
your bloomin' soldiers,

and what do they do?
Upped it!

Walked out
without payin'!

I'll not serve you
a drink, sir.

Now stop it,
Jamie.

To the royal couple.

Well, I can't allow
Anglo-American
relations

to be threatened
like this.

I'd like to square
that bill.

Tom, you
shouldn't.

Oh, sure. How much
is that? £2.10?

There you are, sir.

Now there's
a gentleman for you.

Not at all like
that other yank
you're so fond of.

Yes. Now,
you can just add
10 Bob to that

and give it to
me for mother.

Has she found out
when we go to
the palace yet?

Or is she keepin'
it from me?

£3.00, Jamie.

You see, we sent
a little token

to the Royal Highnesses
for the weddin',

and accordin'
to the papers,
anybody who did

are allowed to see
the weddin' presents.

That's a nice custom.

£3.00, Jamie.

Oh, all right. Here.

What you countin' for?
Don't you trust me?

Just like her mother...
No faith.

You're 5 shillings
short.

Oh? That's what
you might call
a typographical error.

Here.
Thank you.

We'd better go.
Good night, Jamie.

Good night, dearie.
Good night, pal.

Good night, buddy.

To the royal couple.

Thanks.

Looks like mother
is still up.

Ever since she and
Jamie separated,

she can never
get to sleep
till I get home.

Let's walk a minute
and get some nice fresh fog.

Who, uh...
Who's the yank
you're so fond of?

Hal Rayton.

He's my fiancé.

You don't sound
very happy about it.

Oh, I am, really.

Is it a secret?

No. Well, this
is ridiculous.

He's in Chicago.

Illinois?

He lives there.

And you live here?

Yes.

If you keep that arrangement
after your marriage,

you'll be very happy.

How long since
you've seen him?

Oh, about 2 years.

2 years? [Whistles]

And you're still
in love with him?

Well, I've
never thought
of not being.

Do you hear from him
very often?

Every few days,
as a rule.

Oh?

Actually, I haven't
heard from him
for 2 months now,

but he's probably
been busy.

I wrote to him
tonight

and told him
I was in your show

and asked him
to call me
opening night.

I assume you have
some plans about getting
together in the future.

Oh, yes.

Are you going over there,
is he coming over here,

or are you going
to meet in the middle?

You see, he works in
Ogilvy's department
store in Chicago.

Oh? Well?

As soon as he makes
enough to send for me...

Or I make enough
to go over there,

we're going
to be married.

That's fine.

You... you don't
mind, do you?

Mind what?

My getting married,
I mean.

I should love
to go out with
you again.

I had an awfully
good time.

So did I.
Of course,
I don't mind.

Actually, I'm kind of glad
you're all tied up.

Now we can go out
and have fun

without any pressure,
can't we?

Yes...
I guess so.

Good night, Anne.

Good night, Tom.

Yes, this is New York.
We have him on the line.

Mr. Irving Klinger,

we're ready with
Mr. Edgar Klinger
in London.

Go ahead, please.

Hello, ed?
This is Irv!

How are you, Twinsey?

Buzzing, old boy.
Simply buzzing.

I got a fast note
by air mail from
Tombo this morning.

He says everything
is terrif.

Oh, well,
that is good news.

Tell me, have you
heard from Tom?

No. How are things?

Oh, absolutely
superb.

I think we
shall have

a fantastic
opening night
tomorrow night.

What about Ellen?
Tom having trouble

keeping her
caged up at night?

Oh, no. Quite
the contrary.

She's been
frightfully
conscientious.

Goes straight home
from the theater
each night.

Tom's the one who's
been romping about.

Tom? No kidding?

What'd he do,
catch himself a chick?

No, no, no.
Tom's quite well.

He's taken a fancy
to some girl
in the show.

Pretty little thing
she is, too.

Hey, Eddie, what
I called you about...

Call me after
the opening,
will you?

That light in
the window's gonna be
me sitting and waiting.

I will, old boy.
Don't give it
a second thought.

Oh, by the by,
how's the mater?

Oh, mom's fine.

Oh, splendid.
Do give her a peck
on the cheek for me.

I got you.
Dig you tomorrow night.

Pip now.

"Pip now"?

"Dig you"?

[Crowd noise]

What's all
the commotion about
down there?

It's some regiment
that hasn't paraded
its finery in years.

Gosh, you can just
feel the excitement
growing, can't you?

After all, the wedding's
only a week off.

I wonder what the groom
is doing this morning.

Why don't you call him
and ask him?

Very funny.

I thought it was.

What time did you
get in last night,
lover boy?

Oh, around 11:00,
I guess.

I don't know.
I didn't pay
much attention.

Well, I did.
It was around 2:00.

My, you're a busy
little man these
P.M.S, aren't you?

We were just having
a few laughs.

Just a few laughs.

That's all.

Ha.

[Door buzzes]

Come in.

Morning.

Why, Johnny,
what a pleasant
surprise.

How are you?
Fine.

Hi, John.
Hello, Tom.

I thought
this was as good
a place as any

to see
the parade.

Oh, we have
a sensational view.

Oh, before I forget...
Your ticket for the opening.

Second row,
right on the aisle.

Wonderful.
Thanks very much.

What time
is the parade?

It should pass here
any minute.

I say, Ellen,
wonderful seeing
you again.

How's the show
going?

Oh, just fine.
It's been a long time.

I know. 4 days.

Look, tomorrow night
after the opening,

Edgar's giving a party.

You're going
with me, ok?

Ok. It'll take
a little doing,
though.

Why?

There's
a huge affair
being given,

and I'm supposed
to take someone.

But you can get
out of it, can't you?

This is my opening night.

Besides, if you don't
take me, nobody will.

I haven't been out
with a soul but you
since I got here.

I'll get out of it.

[Bagpipes and drums
playing loudly]

You're looking
so well these days.

Thank you.

I think about you
so much.

I think about
you, Ellen.
What?

I said, I think
about you.

It's so different
from anything I've
ever felt before.

How?

Well, first of all,
I'm not interested

in anybody
or anything I do,

and that's
completely new
for me.

Hmm?

I say, that's
completely new
for me.

Ellen, I think
that this is getting
very serious.

What a parade.

I've never seen
anything like it
in my life.

Parade?

Oh, is it over?

I'll tell them
to come back.

Ignore him, Johnny.
I'm so excited about
tomorrow night.

Come on, girl.

We're due
at the theater
5 minutes ago.

In a minute.

Do you realize
we've only been out
at night together

about 3 times since
I've been here?

Well...
Come on,
come on.

Just a minute.

[Plays melody]

What's that you're
playing, Tom?

The song she's supposed
to be rehearsing at
the theater now.

Well, why don't you
rehearse it here?

Oh, that's
a good idea.

Is that all right
with you, Tommy?

All right.

Hold it.
Hold it,

Charlie,
what time
is it?

Uh, it's 4 A.M., sir.

Well, that's enough.

All right, everybody.
That'll be all
for tonight.

I'm sorry to keep you
working so late.

What about
our last 2 numbers?

We don't have
to rehearse those.

You were fine
on them
this afternoon.

Yeah,
I thought so, too.

Show looks pretty good,
doesn't it?

Not bad.
Anne?

Yes?
Excuse me.

Don't forget
tomorrow night.

The opening?
How could I?

Oh, yes, do try
to make that.

We'd love to have you.

No, I meant afterwards.
Edgar's giving a party.

We'll go together.

Oh, Tom, I can't.

You can't?
Why not?

Hal is calling me.

That's right.
I forgot all about him.

Well, it doesn't matter.

I wouldn't bother,

except I haven't
heard from him in
such a long time now,

and I do have
to talk to him.

Taking the bus home
tonight, Anne?

I'll be right
with you.

I'm sorry, Tom.

That's all right.
It's all right.

Charlie: What time
tomorrow, sir?

3:00 for the company.
11:00 for miss Bowen and me.

Yes, sir.

11:00?
What for, Tom?

I wanna take
those 2 numbers we
didn't do tonight.

I thought you were
satisfied with them.

There's still
a few rough spots.

Say, what happened to you?
Did you get stood up?

What are you
talking about?

My, what a manic-depressive
life you lead.

It's going to be
a marvelous party
tomorrow night.

I'm going with John.
Who are you taking?

♪ Every night at 7:00 ♪

♪ dum bum bum Dee um... ♪

♪ Da da dum da Dee ♪

♪ dum de dum dum... ♪

Where's the key?

You have it.

I have not.
I gave it to you.

I suppose I'll have
to go all the way
down to the desk...

See? If you think
nice things,

all doors
open to you.

Is that your
message for the day?

Flowers! For me?

I wonder who
they're from.

Not from me.

Well, that I know.

Who?

It's from John.
He can't make
the opening.

He can't?
My, what a shame.

I had a feeling
this morning he wasn't
gonna be able to make it,

but he just didn't
know how to tell me.

Now, isn't that terrible?

Now,
isn't that terrible?

He's weak,
and I just hate
weak people!

Yes, dear,
I know you do.

Up one minute,
down the next.

What a manic-depressive
life you lead.

Oh, all right,
all right.
So we're even.

Who are you going
with tomorrow night?

I don't know.

Well, why don't
you take me?

I think we should
go together anyway,
don't you?

After all,
we're the stars
of the show.

Yes, I think we should.

Miss Bowen,
may I escort you

to Klinger's clambake
tomorrow night?

[Southern accent]
Why, I'd be
delighted!

And what a surprise
you're askin' me!

Oh, Tommy,
let's be terrific
tomorrow night.

We'll be cosmic.

Stupendous!

A smash! We hope.

And, Ellen,
don't forget...

That's still
the most important
thing.

Yes, Tommy...
I know it is.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, yeah, yeah!

You listen to me
just once!

Oh, sure, sure!

I told you
a million times.

You never wanna
listen to me.

So I said it,
so you heard it,
so you're mad.

So what?

So this...
It's the last time

I ever go to a party
with you!

Will you put that

Like what?

You always humilate me,
humilate me.

Didn't your mother
never teach ya
no manners?

I ain't never had
no mother.

We was too poor.

Say, what's
the matter with
you lately?

You used to tell me
you loved me.

You used to
treat me like
a high-class dame.

Well, usen't ya?

So I used.

There. So you
admit it.

I ain't admittin'
nothin'!

I'll give ya
one more chance.

Do you love me
or don't ya?

No, I don't!

Darling,
I just had to come.
I just had to.

Who's that with Ellen?
Oh, I'm so glad.

The chap with the accent.
Who?

Yes.
Him?

Ah.
Brindale.

They've become
very good friends.

Oh, yes.

Don't you think
we should be getting
over to Edgar's?

Later, Johnny.
Tonight's my night,

and tonight I want
to be alone with you.

When you didn't show up
at the opening,

I didn't even feel
like going on.

How'd you get away
from your party?

Oh, I just walked out.

I couldn't stand
not being with you
tonight.

Ellen...

Ellen, I think
we're in love.

Yes, darling.
I know.

Well, what are we
going to do about it?

Nothing.

Well, we can't go on
in this indefinite state.

Well, aren't you happy?

Oh, you know I am.

So am I.

Let's not kill it
with improvements, huh?

But... something
might happen.

Like what?

Well, someday you might
look over my shoulder

and see someone else.

Yes.

Oh, goodness, no.

[Tapping]

Who is it?

It's me, Jamie. Tom.

Tommy, me boy, come in.

Are you all closed up
for the night?

Well, it's after 2:00.

But I'd never close
for you, Tommy boy.

Thanks.
The show went
well, eh?

Oh, fine, fine.

I didn't feel like
going home straight
after the party,

so I thought
I'd stop by
and say hello.

Well, you're
just in time.

It was announced we go to see
the presents on Monday.

I was just about to try on
me suit for the palace.

I'll slip into it,
you have a look,

then you can tell me
what you think, eh?

Sure.

Oh, uh, by the way,

isn't this Anne's night
to visit you?

Yeah, she was by
about an hour ago,

picked up her money, and
stole away like a pickpocket.

Did her call
come through
from Chicago?

No, the bloomin' blighter
never called.

She must be upset.

Well, I couldn't say.

I don't know how Annie
feels about anything.

She's not an easy one
to get to know.

Very quiet she is,
but deep.

At least I hope she is deep.

Or else she's wasting
a lot of her time being quiet.

Well, brace yourself.
What do you think?

Do I look like
a gentleman?

Jamie, you look
like a banker.

But do I look
like a gentleman?

It's written
all over you.

I got it this afternoon
from Percy Monroe.

Last year when
he got pneumonia,

they bought it for him
to be buried in.

But he recovered.

Well, my only advice is...

If you meet
the royal family...

I wouldn't bow
too low.

Remember,
this is a wedding,

not a coming-out
party.

I see what you mean.
I'll watch it.

Are you excited?

Excited, no.

I'm just scared.

Why?
Nervous and scared.

It's meetin'
the old crow again.

I haven't clapped eyes
on her in 3 years.

I know.

It's funny, but
if it wasn't for
this royal wedding,

probably I'd never
have crossed
her path again.

I'll tell you what:
On Monday I'll call
for you,

take you down
to meet her.

I'll give you
moral support.

Now, that's nice of you,
Tommy.

Unusually nice of you.

You're a good man,
you are.

I don't know
what Annie is doing

waiting for this
knucklehead in Chicago

when she knows
a fella like you
right here in town.

That's love, Jamie.

What about you?

Do I look like
the settling-down kind?

Come on. Let me out.

[Key clatters]

Hup...

I'll do the bending.
I'm dressed for it.

Thank you, Tommy.

Good night, buddy.
Good night, fella.

Ellen: Come in!

Oh, morning.
Oh, hello,
Edgar.

Absolutely fantastic
notices, every one!

You can stay on for years.
Have you seen the dailies?

Rather!

Oh, we're
so thrilled.

There's been an 8-week call
at the libraries.

There's been a what
at the what?

The libraries, old boy.

That's what we call
our ticket brokers.

They want blocks of seats,
8 weeks in advance.

Why didn't you
say so?

Oh, Tom, do you see
the one where they say
we're brilliant?

Where?

Oh, Edgar, have you
called Irving yet?

I'm off to the office now.

[Telephone rings]

I'll take it in my room.

[Ring]
Edgar, sit down
a second, will ya?

I want you to do
a favor for me.

Oh, at your command,
old boy.

Look, when you
call Irving,

ask him to find out
what happened
to a boy

who used to work at
Ogilvy's department
store in Chicago.

His name is,
uh, Hal Rayton.

I've written it
all down.

Oh, right you are.

Will you do that?

And, uh, don't say anything
to anybody about it, will ya?

It shall be
graveyard,
old boy,

graveyard.

Cheerio.
All right.
Thanks.

This is New York.
We're ready, London.

Mr. Irving Klinger
is on the line.

Hello, hello!

Irving there?
Edgar here.

Hey, Eddie,
so how are things?

Buzzing right along.

A smash, huh?
So how were the notices?

Wizard, old boy,
wizard!

That bad, huh?

No, no, no, no.

Wizard.

Wiz-ard!

Oh, wiz...

Yes. [Chuckling]

Now, look, Tom wants
you to follow up
on a chap

named Hal Rayton.
R-a-y-t-o-n.

Hal Rayton, huh?
What does he do,
a single?

No, Mr. Rayton is not
in the theatrical
profession.

He ain't in the theater,
so who needs him?

Oh, it's a personal
matter of Tom's.

Now,
when last heard from,
Mr. Rayton was employed

at Ogilvy's department
store in Chicago.

Ogilvy's. Dig ya.

I'll throw the hassle
to our Chicago branch,

have the whole mess
in your lap
in a fast 2 days.

Oh, no, no. That
won't be necessary.

Just follow up
on the Rayton matter
and let us know.

Natch. I just said...

Pip, now.

Oh, uh, yes, um...

Uh, dig... you!

Oh! There's Jamie
for you.

Wouldn't you know
he'd be late,
even to the palace!

Now, take it easy, mother.
Maybe the traffic was heavy.

Oh, it's not
the traffic.
It's Jamie.

Ever since I told him
I don't like to be
kept waiting,

he's been keeping me
waiting.

You know, mother,
there's an old Spanish
proverb which goes,

"he who does not
love the faults
of his loved one

does not love
at all."

Hmm. That may be
well and good
for the Spanish,

but I'm English.

You know
what I think?
No, dearie.

I think he's all excited
about seeing you.

You think so?
Mm-hmm.

How do I look?

As elegant as can be.

Tommy, tell him
he's going too fast.

Driver, could you
slow down a little?

Yes, sir.

What say we step off
and have a quick one?

To the health
of the royal couple, eh?

Sit back, Jamie. We're
not stopping anywhere.

Well, tell him to go
a little slower.

He can't go any slower.
Don't be so nervous.

And when you see her,

be sure and act
like the gentleman
you look like.

I will, but if she says
one word of criticism,

I'll hit her on the head
with this cap.

You'll do nothing
of the kind.

Here we are.
Stop here, driver.

We'll walk
the rest of the way.

Come on now. Don't lose
your nerve. Get in there.

Go on.

Hello, Jamie.

Good day, Sarah.

Jamie, your suit's
handsome.

Handsome.

Thank you.

I'm, uh,
I'm sorry I'm late.

The traffic
was heavy today.

I told the cabby to go
as fast as he could.

Shall we go?

Ohh...

Allow me.

Jamie, don't.

I knew they'd hold.

There are some days
when you can do
nothing wrong.

Do you think they'll
stay together?

Sure.
I hope so.

For them
as well as for me.

I could never have
left mother alone.

Now you can get married
and forget about her.

Yes.

[Knock on door]

[Whistling]
Yeah?

Good evening.

Edgar.

I have
the information
you requested

regarding
Mr. Rayton.

Ohh, what?
Well, it's nothing
terribly exciting.

Mr. Rayton still
works at Ogilvy's.

He's still
in the luggage
department.

He used to live
in Chicago proper,

but not long ago
he and his wife
moved to Evanston.

His wife?!

Why, yes,
he was married
several months ago.

My, my, my.

I say, who is
this chap anyway?

Oh, uh, he was engaged
to a girl in the show.

I was just finding out
about him for her.

Oh, I say,
that's frightful!

Yes, isn't it?

Well, what are you
so pleased about?

I always smile
when I'm heartbroken.

I better tell her.

Oh, not now.
Don't you think
you should wait

till after
the performance?

It would seem
kinder.

Maybe you're right.
Edgar, you're a real pal.

I'd stick up for you
anytime.

Well, thanks, old chap.

That's frightfully
decent of you to say.

Well,
if you'll excuse me.

Oh! I shall be around
to pick you up early
tomorrow morning.

What's tomorrow?

Ahh.
Why, the royal wedding.

And I shall take you
someplace where you'll
see all the pageantry.

Great.

Stage manager:
Second act, Mr. Bowen.
Right.

Ellen.

Ellen.

Got anybody
to take you home?

Good.

Good night,
Mr. Bowen.

Good night.

Anne, I've something
to tell you.

Yes.

I hope you won't think
I've butted in where I
shouldn't have, but...

Jamie told me
your friend didn't call.

Oh.

I didn't ask.
He told me.

I don't quite
know why I did it,

but I decided
to try and find out
what happened to him.

Did you?

Yes, I did.

Well?

Anne.

He's married.

Married?

I'm sorry.

How wonderful.

How simply
wonderful.

Oh, Tom, thank you.

Oh, it was nothing.
Anne...

Here I've been worrying
myself to death over him
on account of you,

and he's been married
all the time.
Isn't it wonderful?

What do you mean,
on account of me?

Well, on account of me
being in love with you and
you being in love with me.

I'm in love with you?

Well, aren't you?

Yeah.

What a mess.

Why?

The next thing
that happens,

we'll be thinking
about getting married.

I'm thinking about it
right now.

There. You see?

Well, don't you
want to marry me?

Yes, I do.

Anne, it isn't you.
It's marriage.

I'm afraid
I couldn't be married
and make a go of it.

I've been living one way
too long.

For me,
it's always been work.

Everything else has
just been a side issue.

It isn't because
I don't want to.
It's just that I...

I don't know
if I could change.

Anne...

I know I'd be
an awful flop
as a husband.

Do you understand?

I think I do, Tom.

What do we do?

Perhaps you better
take me home.

Tom...

I only disagree
with one thing.

What's that?

I think you'd make
a marvelous husband.

You do?

Yes, I do, Tom.

[Door closes]

Hi.

Hi.

You're back early.

It isn't early.

I thought it was.

Well, it isn't.
It's late.

Is it?

Hmm?

I didn't say anything.

Tom, John wants
to marry me.

He does?

That's funny.

Well, it might be to you,
but it's terribly
serious to him.

He's very much in love
with me,

and he said he's found
a new faith in everything

all on account of me.

How do you feel?

Well... very constructive.

I never thought
I'd live to see the day

you'd inspire anybody
to do anything
but slug it out.

All right, go ahead,
make fun of me.

I'm sorry, Ellie.

You really are involved
this time, aren't you?

Up to here.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

I was rather hoping

you'd make up
my mind for me
like you usually do.

It sure is funny.

Why do you keep
saying that

when it isn't
funny at all?!

It's very important.

I know it is.

I only meant it's funny
because...

Anne wants me
to marry her.

She does?

My gosh.

It sure is funny,
isn't it?

Why?

Well, I don't know.
It's just funny, that's all.

Now, what's so funny about
someone wanting to marry me?

I have a few good points,
you know.

Tommy, are you
really in love
with her?

Up to here.

Oh, my.

Well...

I wonder
what would happen

if we just threw over
all our principles

and went ahead and
got married anyway.

You'd stay here
in England with John...

Why would I stay here?

You can't go traipsing
all over the world

and leave your husband
at home.

What kind of a marriage
would that be?

No, I...

I suppose not.

Well...

Well, what would you do?

I'd marry Anne...

No, no, I mean who
would you dance with?

Well, I never
thought of that.

Not having you,
I might try Anne
if she wants to.

She loves to dance
and shows a lot
of promise.

Do you really think so?

Yeah.

I thought she was
a little awkward
myself.

So were you
when you started.

Well, I know it,

but it takes years
to build a good team.

You've always said that.

And there's a lot
of excitement in doing it.

Well, it just
isn't fair, Tom.
What isn't?

What?
I'm getting
the short end
of the stick.

You want me
to settle back and
get out of the way

while you go off
with someone else
and have all the fun.

I think it's rotten
of you, Tommy,
simply rotten.

I didn't ask...
Everything's
been so perfect.

We've had a wonderful
life together.

We've been
very successful.

How can you
even consider
breaking it up?

And breaking it up
for what?

To get married.
Oh, no, Tom.

Marriage is
a tough business.

You know, I've always
thought marr...

Responsibilities,
obligations, a home
to take care of.

Maybe children
to look after.

Imagine being married
to someone you're
dancing with.

If either the marriage
or the dancing
doesn't work out,

both of them
go kaplooey!

Oh, no. No, Thomas.
It's a terrible
chance to take.

It is, isn't it?

We mustn't do it.
We've slaved too hard
to get where we are.

Why should we
give it up?

It does seem foolish,
doesn't it?

We're a team,
and a darn good one.

We ought to stay that way.

Maybe
you're right.
Well,
of course I'm right.

Oh, you do see it,
don't you, Tommy?

Sure I see it.

It's you and me,
just like it's
always been.

I'm sure we're doing
the right thing.

Thank you so much
for deciding for me.

Forget it.

Hello.

Good morning,
old chappy!

Hello, Edgar.

Good morning. I've come
to take you to the wedding.

And what a wedding parade
we shall see.

Are you ready?

As ready as
I'll ever be.

I say, what's the matter
with you two this morning?

You're all
at sixes and sevens.

Nothing's
the matter.
Let's go.

[Trumpet fanfare]

[Rule, Britannia plays]

[Church bells pealing]

[Organ playing
wedding march]

Tom, I want...

Ellie, I've got to
have her. I lose.

So what? I want to
get married today.

Today?
Sure, before I
change my mind.

Think we can do it?

We must do it. Edgar,
we want to get married.

I thought you two
were related.

No, no. And we want
to get married today.

Why, it takes 3 weeks.

3 weeks? Anything
can happen in 3 weeks.

Irving says you
can do anything.
You can fix it for us.

I know, but one must
have permission from
the archbishop's office,

and after all,
he's busy today.

You've got to swing it
for us, Edgar.

Well, I'll try.
You two meet me

at the vicar general's
in 2 hours,

and if it's at all possible
to get permission
for a license,

where?
You shall be married
this afternoon.

Clyde street church.

I believe I know
the minister there.

This is a pretty box
of pickles. I beg
your pardon, sir.

Now we...
Now we have to find
Anne and John.

In these crowds?

I know what corner
she's standing on.

Where's John?

He should be leaving
the Abbey

for the reception
any minute now.

Well, you better find him.

Ellie, I'm gonna miss you
a lot from now on.

Oh, Tommy, you're
a wonderful brother.

Good luck, darling.

Thanks.
Excuse me.

Will you excuse me?

John!

Ellen!
What's the matter?!

John, I wanna
marry you!

What?!

I said I want
to marry you!

You do?!
Yes!

Clyde street church
at 4:00!

Right!

Here, here! What do you
think you're doing?

Oh, officer,
I love you!

Anne!

Anne!

Tom!

Will ya marry me?!

What?!

Will ya marry me?!

Yes!

Good-bye.
Good-bye.

They didn't have to go
to all this trouble.

A small wedding
would've been all right.
