I'm not sick. It's just that, uh...
Oh, well. I guess now's as good a time as any.
I'm gonna have a baby.
You're gonna what?
- You're gonna... - ... have a baby.
You're gonna have a baby.
Say that again.
And then I thought you'd be upset.
I'm upset, but I would have been less upset then.
Now I'm more upset, because now you walked out right in the middle.
I'm sorry.
Jimmy, honey...
you mind if I lie down for a while?
Yeah, sure.
Thank you.
- You okay now? - Yeah.
You know what I think? Do you want to know what I think?
Yeah, tell me.
I think I should go back to New York.
Just stay in one place. you know, and wait it out.
Oh, man. I can't believe this. I can't believe this.
Are you crazy?
We're on a tour over here. and you want to tell me
you're thinking about going home to New York?
What are you talking about?
What do you want to do. drop me off in Knoxville?
What we can do is very simple, baby.
We'll get a car... it's not gonna be a new car, if you don't mind.
Of course not. It's gonna be an old car.
I'll make it nice and comfortable. and you and I will travel in it.
I'll understand if you can't make it.
You can leave the gig the way you did today whenever you want.
but you just can't leave all of a sudden.
You just cannot leave now.
- Okay? - No.
- No? Yes. - I want to go back to New York.
I want this baby to be okay.
I don't want to lose this baby in some strange town
or on a bus somewhere.
The doctor said I could lose this kid if I traveled.
and I don't intend to do that.
- I just said we're gonna ride in a car. - Do you want this baby?
Yeah. I want the baby. Of course.
Do you want this baby?
Well, what do you mean?
You know what I mean.
Of course I want the baby.
Okay, then I'm going to New York.
You're gonna go to New York? Go to New York.
Jimmy. I'm sorry.
There's nothing to do.
You get pregnant, you get pregnant. What can you do?
That's it. That's life.
I just want you to be happy.
I'm happy.
I just want you to be so happy so much.
I'm happy, baby.
Are you really?
Yeah.
Oh, brother.
Got just the thing for you... a saltine.
I can't keep anything down.
It settles the stomach. Take it.
The Chicago reviews were great for you.
so something big is liable to happen.
Meanwhile. I've set you up for some very easy work.
studio stuff... demos, commercials.
so you can pick up a couple of bucks.
Tony. I don't think we're gonna need any extra money.
The band's doing so well. Jimmy said that we...
Now, listen, with a kid coming. you can always use some extra money.
Right.
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper. "Please adore me"
And then I looked. the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Okay, good, that's a take on Jo Stafford.
Now let's try Peggy Lee.
Wait a minute. Hold it, hold it.
Hold it, everybody. wait just a second.
She's fantastic, a terrific girl.
Terrific singer and terrific girl.
And sweet as she sings. that's how sweet she is...
offstage, you know?
You're gonna make money with her.
I'm sure of it.
There goes the ballgame
I lost, and how
Came to bat at the beginning
Thinking that my team was winning
Now I'm at the final inning
Score...
A big, fat nothing
Some other players...
Come on. Come on out.
No, it's over, it's all over.
The band's finished, we're finished. everything's finished.
I just know it.
What'd you say?
It's finished.
I want to die!
You want to die?
Come on out, baby. for chrissakes.
Come on.
I'm never gonna sing again.
"I'm never gonna sing... " Couldn't sing now.
I said everything is gonna be all right.
You'll sing with Paul Wilson. What are you talking about?
Come on, now.
No. I'm never coming out. I'm not coming out.
Paul is waiting for you now. You've gotta come out.
They're all there. Come on, let's go.
I'm no bimbo, you know.
I can see the writing on the wall. Jimmy.
What writing can you see on the wall?
Did I ever call you a bimbo?
After all we've been through. is that what you're gonna say?
How could you say that?
I hope I can trust you on this.
You can trust me.
Yeah. I hope I'm not signing my life away.
Well, you're just signing the band away.
That's enough.
Okay.
Schedule's inside.
- The bus schedule? - Yeah.
Take care.
- All right, uh... - Good luck.
- Say hello home, huh? - I will.
- You keep in touch. - Okay.
- See you in the Apple. - Good trip.
Move... move over, honey.
We'll hit the 802 eventually.
Bring your racket the next time.
I'll bring it. Bring your time, too.
Yeah, good luck.
See you at Charlie's!
Maybe another nail?
Oh. Ellen, we have seven nails in there already.
An even eight.
Hold it. Hold your side a little bit over.
Jimmy! Jimmy!
It's pretty.
One of the nicest things in the world
is waking up knowing somebody loves you.
You remember this. this old song I wrote?
How can it be old if you wrote it for me, huh?
Well, it was old when I wrote it.
I'm working on the words, you know?
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah. See?
I got the lyric here...
part of it.
- Want to see it? - No. I see it.
Honey, it's gonna be a nice day.
What's the Theory of Relativity. that light is curved?
I don't know.
They say that only five people in the whole world, you know.
know really what it's about.
Well, the Japs understand. from what I know.
You want to talk about it?
What do you mean?
I mean about the band and how you feel and...
how you are.
I don't know. It just didn't work.
I got so worried, you know, when I didn't hear from you for three days.
I thought you were coming home. and you didn't.
Well. I was...
Didn't you get the telegram that I sent?
No. I didn't get it.
Look. I didn't send a telegram.
I just really wanted to be alone for a while, by myself, that's all.
I wanted to figure some things out.
I stayed down South for a while. and that was it.
Well, that's normal. I understand that.
No, you don't understand that.
Don't tell me you do. 'cause you don't really understand it.
But I had to do it, baby.
Well. I understand that I don't understand.
Okay, that's being better about it.
Hey, man!
Jimmy! Hey, man!
How you...? All right. How you been, man?
Come on over and meet some friends of mine.
This is Booty and this is Washington.
Hey. Jimmy. I hear you play a mean tenor.
Yeah. I heard about you, too.
Hi, there.
How you been, man?
What you doing? Where you been, huh?
I went on the road with Frankie Harte.
Went on the road with him for a while.
then after that I took the band over myself.
I heard something about that. Kinda slipped away or something, huh?
No, it didn't slip away. You heard that, though, huh?
Yeah, you know. talk around here, you know...
No, it didn't really slip away.
What happened was that. you know, uh...
I was working with bad musicians.
I mean, you can't pitch new cats in Scranton or Allentown. PA, right?
You've got to come back to the Apple.
But, you know, you see the same old faces, same old places.
I'm wondering if I should be back here, man.
The same thing.
Listen, man, if you get it together again. Jimmy.
I got this little thing going over at the Harlem Club, man.
Oh, yeah.
Some really good cats over there, man. You've got to come over there.
I will. I'll come up. I've heard a lot about it.
- There's only one problem, though. - What's that?
- They let white cats in? - If you come around the back.
Hey, man!
Talk to it! Talk to it!
Okay, before you get excited. just let me explain what happened.
Remember that cat Cecil Powell I used to always tell you about?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, all right. Okay. We'd better go to lunch.
I'll explain it to you then.
What's this? What am I getting into?
What are you getting into? You're getting into a Buick.
A 1941 green Buick. Just get in. I'll explain it to you later.
Trumpet player O. D.'d. Long story. Just get in the car.
I'll explain it to you later.
Baby, if you don't get in the car. I have no way of talking to you.
I'm not gonna shout it in the street.
so you ought to get in the car. and then I'll explain it to you.
You remember Cecil Powell? You remember him?
I met him at the Union, and I went up to Harlem, this new club.
It was fantastic. I had a great time, baby.
Why didn't you call me?
Why should I call you? I'll be home in a little while.
so there was no reason to call.
Jimmy...
Hi, there.
Yeah, hi, there, how are you?
Are you pulling out?
Do I look like I'm pulling out?
Uh... excuse me.
Yeah?
Look. I don't mean to... Would you look at me, please?
If I look at you. I'm gonna get upset.
Yo! Hey! Look at me!
I can't believe this guy!
I'm looking at you, man!
I think you're being just a little bit unreasonable.
Oh, am I?
Just a little bit. Just a little bit inconsiderate.
I can't believe this guy!
- I'm being inconsiderate? - Yeah!
I'm being inconsiderate? Hey...!
You know what I'm doing? I'm arguing with my wife!
You want to come help me solve the problem?
If you can help me solve the problem. you can have the space.
You can have the whole sidewalk. as far as I'm concerned.
You don't have to get nasty.
Just a minute, honey. Let me handle this.
Get off my back, will ya. for crying out loud?
- I don't want to hear it! - Look, lady, get out of here!
Just beat it, will ya?
- Don't mess with her. - Get out of here!
The same to you! The same to you!
You're not gonna get this space
if it means I have to die on the floor!
You'll never get this space. you son of a...!
- Creep! - What you're making me do!
Creep!
That's it, keep moving! I hope you never get a space!
I hope you drive around the block 50.000 times!
- They're dumb. - Come on, let's go have lunch.
I'm not hungry.
Aw, honey, come on. you're pregnant now.
Let's forget about all this other stuff and just go have something to eat.
That's right. I am pregnant. Jimmy.
In fact. I'm six months pregnant.
so you're just gonna have to pay a little more attention to me right now.
It's like. Jimmy. you opened the door for me.
You didn't even wait to see if I got in all right.
and I have trouble getting around now.
I do.
I understand you're pregnant. What do you think I am, a dummy?
I just lost a band. for crying out loud.
If it had clicked. I'd still be with the band right now, right?
When you wanted to come back to New York to have the baby.
did I stop you?
No. I didn't stop you, right?
So you can't stop me.
And another thing I'm gonna tell you. I don't like you doing that stuff up there.
What stuff?
The demo stuff. You're too good for that.
They should be doing that for you, baby.
That's all I'm going to say about it.
So that means from now on you'll be up there nights, right?
You'll be there almost every night, right?
So...
You know, the other guys are married, too, you know.
and they have those things.
I know.
Well. I'll take the day shift and you take the night shift.
Honey, you're making it very hard on me, baby.
You want me to take this. and I'm gonna throw it against the wall.
I'm gonna smash it into a million pieces.
That what you want me to do?
Because that's what you're telling me to do.
This is the most important thing to me besides you, you understand?
And if I can't do this. then I'm not good for you.
and I'm not good for anybody, baby.
You understand?
Paul Wilson called up. and he said he had, uh...
He's opening tomorrow night at the Up Club.
Yeah. I know.
So he wanted us to come.
I said, you know. probably we will.
- Oh. I'd love to. - Would you?
Yeah.
Spend some time together. It'd be good.
- See the fellas. - Yeah.
You know how depressed Ellen's been lately?
I thought maybe we could introduce her to Artie Kirks.
Artie Kirks?
Yeah, the record producer I told you about.
Now, look, maybe if...
That's another thing. if you want to go by yourself.
possibly you and Ellen. because of business reasons.
that's okay. I don't object to that.
and I could meet you later. that's all.
I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry.
Is it okay?
Yeah, it's okay.
Right.
Oh! Wait till I show you what I got!
Look at this.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, honey.
You were looking at the words to the tune, huh?
Yeah. I was.
And that's what you're gonna call it. New York?
New York.
Yeah, that's what I said. New York.
That's what you're gonna call it?
I thought since we met in New York. we live in New York...
"My vagabond...
Shoes.
"... shoes are longing to stray
and step around the heart... of it."
New York. New York.
It's, uh. "top of the heap." too.
And this is the final version?
Well, not necessarily. I want to fix up some parts.
It's very good, honey.
Okay. I'll see you later.
All right.
- Have a nice night. - Thank you, baby, you too.
See you later.
I can change "top of the heap."
Bernice Conrad and the Paul Wilson Orchestra.
Oh, man. What am I doing here?
Oh, come on, honey. we promised.
You know.
I can't do it.
I can't do it, baby. I just...
Well, we'll just stay for one set, all right?
All right?
- All right. I'll park the car. - Okay.
Yeah. I'll park the car.
I'll tell you. I'll park it.
Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
- Ellen! - Francine!
Oh, you're looking wonderful!
- Darling! - Hello. Artie, how are you?
How's my girl?
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Jim will be here in a minute. He's parking the car.
If you should take the word of others you've heard
Well. I haven't a chance
True. I've been seen
With someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory...
- Try it again, darling. - It's hard.
- Two out of three. - Okay, okay.
- You missed again. - You didn't wait.
Well. I'll give you one more try. You ready?
Oh, you've got it. I'll give you my personal check.
- Okay. - But don't try to cash it.
Yes, sir?
Yeah. I was just parking the car. Doyle.
Oh, yes. Mr.. Doyle. your lady friend's right over there.
Please follow me.
That's not my lady friend. that's my wife.
Pardon.
That's all right. Don't let it happen again.
Only kidding.
Hello, hello.
Jimmy, this is Mr.. Kirks. from Decca Records.
and Mr.. Kirks. this is my husband Jimmy.
Sorry I'm late.
- Better late than never. - Yeah, well. I'm sorry I'm late.
It's hard parking a car in New York at this time of night.
How are you?
I'm doing just fine. Jimmy. how are you?
I'm doing well.
How's Eddie?
Eddie who?
I knew that was coming.
Looks like Eddie's out the window.
Di Muzio.
Waiter, dear.
Jimmy.
That voice always gets 'em, too...
you know, when I said. "Waiter, dear." with the heavy voice.
and the reason I call 'em "dear." otherwise they spit in your drink.
You say "dear." they're nice to you.
You get it? Any time you go into a joint, you know what I mean?
You call 'em "dear."
Here's the waiter.
Waiter, would you give this gentleman a sloe gin fizz, and step on it.
I don't want a sloe gin fizz.
I don't even know what a sloe gin fizz is.
He doesn't want a sloe gin fizz.
What do you want? I want you to be comfortable.
- You know what I would like? - What would you like?
I would like a big glass of milk
with about twelve shots of Scotch in it.
Well, why don't you just get a fifth?
- She said it. - You got it.
Fifth of Scotch, a little ice.
A bucket of ice. Tell you what you do, waiter.
No, look at me.
- You got the order? - Yes, sir.
- Okay, that's a quart of milk... - No milk, no milk.
- Milk isn't necessary, no. - No milk.
All right, milk isn't necessary.
And give this lady a pink squirrel. You got it?
- Repeat it. - Let's see.
That's a sloe gin fizz...
- No, forget the sloe gin fizz. - No. I'll have that.
She'll have the sloe gin fizz.
Sloe gin fizz is on again.
- That is a sloe gin fizz... - You're smart. Come on.
- That's a sloe gin fizz. - A sloe gin fizz.
- A quart of milk. - No. I said forget the milk.
- Sloe gin fizz, a quart of Scotch. - A quart of Scotch.
A fifth of Scotch. and a bucket of ice, right.
- And you, sir? - No, zip for me.
- Thank you. - Yes, sir.
Hey. Jimmy, for a minute can I grab your ears?
Listen. I've heard a lot of nice things about you.
Your wife tells me when you had the band.
you used to blow the roof off.
Look, man. can I tell you something?
- I'll be straight with you. - I want you to be.
I don't want to be here. I don't want to listen to this music.
I don't like this joint.
and I don't give a damn, man. for any of that stuff.
Let's go. Come on.
Hold it. Jimmy, for a second. If nothing else, we can get a tan here.
Come on, let's go. The whole place stinks. Let's go.
You're hurting me.
Well. I'm sorry if I'm hurting you.
If you came with me. I wouldn't have to hurt you. Let's go.
You gotta relax, man.
- Come on. - No. No.
- I don't want to go. - You want to stay?
Somebody will take me home.
I can get a ride home.
So love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
What's the matter with him?
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
Forget about it, darling.
A few hours from now. it's forgotten about.
You'll be home. and it's over with.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
We're going to take a short intermission here, and the band will be back.
Thank you.
Everything all right?
Yeah.
So, uh. Jimmy finally got here, huh?
Hi. Jimmy.
Hey. Paul, how ya doin'?
Give me your hand.
Come on, reach out. reach out, reach out.
Come on. Jimmy.
You all right?
Can I tell you something very privately?
Yeah.
Do you mind if I touch you like that?
I'm jealous.
I think you're so good that I can't even top you.
Well. I'm really flattered.
Well, you should be flattered. Definitely be flattered.
A great compliment for a great musician.
From a great person.
Everybody feels you're great.
Even your wife.
Even your wife, man.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen. the band is back now.
We're gonna start out with a... um...
We're gonna start out with a medley of special requests.
You was a one-night stand.
- Hey! Break 'em up! - Let's go, let's go.
You understand?
Wife is out!
Wife is out. Wife is out.
Lay her at peace.
Have a good night.
Listen, man. I just want to say one thing to my wife over there.
- My wife is over there. - I realize that.
That's my wife over there.
Don't make me use force on you, please.
- Force? - Yes.
Hey, man, how you...?
Take your hands off me, man.
Get up!
Help me with this guy!
Out of the way! Out of the way, pal!
Okay. It's okay. Everything's all right. Just relax.
Don't you guys know how to talk?
Just relax.
It's all right. You take it up the block.
Yeah...
Honey. I told you, everything's fine. The baby's normal.
I think I gained too much weight, though.
Aw. Jimmy.
Thank you!
- Ow! Are you all right, honey? - Yeah. I'm all right.
Oh. Jimmy!
They're beautiful.
I'm sorry you slammed your hand in the door.
That's all right. It's okay. It's just part of me, you know.
I'm really sorry about last night.
I don't know. I was trying to figure it out. I...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
A one...
- Jimmy? - Yeah?
- Cecil. - Cecil who?
- Come on, man. - Cecil B. DeMille.
I got your lady out here, man. This is serious.
- We got your sister in here, man. - Come on, man.
She's got two cats with her, man.
Can't you see we're having a conference in here?
Hey, man, your old lady's out here with two cats.
- My old lady? - Right outside here.
I'll be right back.
Hey, come on in.
- A record deal or something? - Yeah.
I wanted you to meet 'em before I did anything.
Yeah, sure, all right.
Okay.
Now, why'd you bring 'em here?
Like I told you. I couldn't reach you on the phone.
He's got to leave tomorrow.
Oh.
Well. I...
- Have a seat. - Thanks.
You on a break?
No, not really. but I got a few minutes.
- Maybe we can talk, then. - Have a seat.
Uh. Jimmy, you remember Artie Kirks. Decca Records.
Decca Records. I know the label very well.
He wants to sign her.
What?
He wants to sign her.
To where?
- On a label. - To a record contract.
Oh, yeah? Oh, that's great.
That's great, great, great.
- You think so? - Sure, sure, sure. It's great.
Well, one of the reasons I wanted us all to meet tonight
- was I could ask if you approved of... - Excuse me, darling.
Listen, if there's any problems.
that's what I'm here for. I want to solve them.
There's no problem we can't work out.
Everything's fine.
Then everything's fine.
No, everything isn't quite fine.
I would like to know what we're all talking about.
- You mean the deal? - Yeah, exactly.
It's logical.
As a matter of fact. when I heard her. I said. "That's it.
Absolutely sensational. This is it. Fantastic. A smash."
And I'm telling you. from my mouth, this is it.
And this isn't just for one shot.
There's a couple of things I'm not really comfortable with.
and one is the traveling.
- The promotional tour... - Is that a problem?
I don't know if I want to travel.
You gotta travel? What about the baby and all that?
Yeah, exactly.
There's nothing we can't handle.
There's no problem that can come up that we can't solve.
Let's hear what they have to say.
Sure, but I'm just emphasizing your statement.
okay, like putting an exclamation mark.
Very good, very good. Tony. Go ahead, darling.
- What about the kid? - Oh, the baby.
Listen, you're gonna get first class.
Number one. I'm gonna get you the best nurse.
I'll get you a car.
I'll treat the kid like it's my own kid.
All you've got to do is sing.
Everything'll be in the contract. They'll pay for everything.
I'm just emphasizing what you just said.
I know. You emphasized twice already. They know.
Is it all right with you?
Sure. I mean, it sounds great.
Can't argue with it. Sounds good.
- It's up to her. - Then everything's all right?
Everything's all right. Everything all right with you?
Yeah, but I thought you'd have...
Then everything all right?
It's all right with me if it's all right with you, if it's all right with him.
It's great with you. now is it great with them?
This is great with you and great with you?
Do you have any other suggestions?
No. I have no suggestions, baby. That's it.
Excuse me. I just gotta do something. I think the set's gonna start soon.
- I'll be back in a second. - Jimmy?
Yeah.
Before you go. have you got a cigarette on you?
A cigarette?
Gee, man. I just smoked my last one. I'm sorry.
It's a thing I do for luck.
Oh, yeah? Get the waiter. He'll give you a whole pack.
Put it on my tab. We'll celebrate. You know, the contract.
- Have a cigar. - No, it's not the same.
Jimmy.
Whoa, excuse me.
Listen. Jimmy. I just think that she's the best.
She's gonna make it with me or without me.
I'd rather it be with me.
I'll consult everything.
Come up to the office. Feel free. My door is always open.
Is that okay with you? We got a deal?
- You feel comfortable about it? - Oh, yeah, sure. Definitely.
Don't forget it, now. Jimmy.
Family night?
Come here.
Every honeybee
Fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them. goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Ooh, when you're passing by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter. goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet
When you stir it up
When I'm taking sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Yeah, uh, this looks better.
This looks thick. sweet, you know?
Probably.
Got any other colors?
Well, we've got one with a whole lot of colors.
- I'll try that. - Okay.
I don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up
When I'm drinking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Thank you.
Yeah.
What the hell are you doing?
- I was celebrating. - You almost killed us.
What was that all about?
- I was just celebrating. - You're celebrating?
Look at you! You look disgusting!
What do you want me to do about it. Jimmy? What am I supposed to do?
Did I tell you to have that baby?
Did I tell you to have that... that goddamn baby?
No. I didn't tell you. You had it.
Now, you have it. now, keep it!
That's it, go ahead. keep hitting me. That's right.
Go ahead, hit me. That's right.
You had it!
- Now you're crying when it gets tough? - Oh, be quiet!
When it gets tough, you cry?
Forget it.
I'm not going through this anymore.
You said it. You want that.
- It's not what I want, it's the way it is. - It is too what you want!
It is not what I want!
I'm scared!
You're scared?
You're scared? What about me. for chrissakes?
What are you scared about?
You got everything, man!
I'm the one that's scared. Not you, me. I'm scared.
'Cause you got it easy. I got nothing.
It's always you, isn't it?
You're damn right it's always me. the way it's you.
they way you had the kid when we shouldn't have had a kid.
Going back to New York.
What are you crying for?
Cry!
You... cry!
- I do care about you. - You do not!
You want to know what you care about?
- I care about you. - You care about your clubs...
- I care about you. - and your friends...
- I care about you. - ... and your music!
You're damn right, because that's something special to me!
That's what the problem is. I don't care.
No. I do care!
That's not the problem! I do care! I do care!
- You do not care! - I do care!
- You don't care! - Crazy! You're driving me crazy!
All you care about is you!
You're driving me crazy!
Let me get at you! Let me get you!
You want to hit me? I'll hit you.
- I'll kill you! - Don't you ever hit me!
Don't you ever hit me!
I don't care! Now I'll get you! Where the...?
Damn!
No! Jimmy! Jimmy!
- Jimmy! - What?
Jimmy! The baby!
- What's the matter? - The baby. Jimmy!
- The baby! - All right, take it easy!
Oh. Jimmy. I'm scared. I'm scared! Hold me!
All right. I'll get us to a hospital. Just lie down, take it easy.
- Oh, my God! - Take it easy, all right.
Oh, please!
Where the hell's a cop? When you're looking for one, you never find one.
Oh. God!
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no, no!
Don't worry, honey, you'll be all right. Just take it easy.
Don't get excited.
How you doing?
Is everything all right?
Yeah.
Good.
Did you see him?
Who?
- The baby. - Oh, the baby. It's a him?
Yeah.
I named him Jimmy.
You named him Jimmy?
What do you mean. you named him Jimmy?
This is official? You named him Jimmy?
Yeah.
There's one thing I want to tell you that you're wrong for doing.
You should have let me decide on what the name was with you
instead of just giving the kid a name right away.
I mean. I am the father. and if I am the father.
no matter what the situation. you should at least let me do that.
That's the least thing you could let me do.
And maybe I don't want to see the kid for that reason.
What, do you think you're gonna make me feel guilty about it?
Give that name to that kid running around.
After everything that's happened with us.
you had to give the kid the name Jimmy.
No way.
I don't want to see the kid, because if I see the kid. I'm gonna break up.
I don't want to see something I... What good is it to see the kid?
I wish this lady wasn't...
How could I see the kid? What am I gonna say to it?
"Hi. I'm your father. I'm going away"?
What are you gonna say to him?
I can't say anything. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
I know.
Jimmy...
I don't want to use my handkerchief. It's the only one that I have, that's why.
There's no way that it's gonna...
I love you.
But it's not...
All right. I'm just gonna go.
I'll see you later.
Jimmy. Jimmy.
I don't know what else to say.
- Good-bye. - Good-bye, baby.
- Good-bye. - I'm sorry.
I love you.
- Good-bye. - Good-bye.
That's not possible.
Mr.. Doyle. I can take you over to see your baby now, if you'd like.
Thank you. I think I'll see him a little later. Thank you.
... Around and round and around
And round and round
The world goes round and round and round
And round...
Oh. I'm sorry. Can I do it again? I'm sorry.
Okay, here we go. Stand by, take 18.
Sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you're sad
But the world goes round
Sometimes you lose
Every nickel you've had
But the world goes round
Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't alter a thing
Take it from me
There's still gonna be
A summer, a winter. a fall, and a spring
And sometimes a friend
Starts treatin' you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deafening sound
Somebody loses, somebody wins
One day it's kicks
Then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins
And the world goes round
But the world goes round
Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't matter at all
Take it from me. there's still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a spring
And a fall
And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deafening sound
Somebody loses. and somebody wins
Then one day it's kicks
Then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins
And the world goes around
And round and around
And round and round
The world goes around
And round and round
And round
- How do I look? - Perfect. Mom.
Just a minute. Screw the photograph. She's very, very nervous.
Happy endings, all around me
Happy endings, all I see are
Happy endings on a silver screen
That's Hollywood
Lovely lady, gallant fellow
Meet one evening. hear that cello
Troubles come between
But in that final scene
Count on a happy ending
By a river
Happy ending, on a mountain
Happy ending. in a Broadway show
But, oh
The life I lead is less dramatic
Not remotely cinematic
Happy endings, far as I can see
Are only for the stars
Not in the stars for me
Pardon me, miss. I've a problem
And I wonder, would you help me?
Lost my glove. and I could use your light
Right.
I was leaving, it's so silly
But I guess I must have dropped it
All at once. it seemed to disappear
Here.
Gee. I'm grateful, and I'd like to
Show you my appreciation
Maybe take you out to dinner
When do you get off? I can wait
- No. I couldn't possibly. - I can wait
- I don't do that... - I can wait
I can wait
Eight.
Hey. Peggy. you gonna sing tonight?
You sing here?
Sometimes, after work. Relieves the stress.
- You've got stress? - Yes. I guess.
Hey. Peggy. you gonna sing tonight?
When Mr.. Right comes along
Every melody that sounded so wrong
Will be blended in a beautiful song
When Mr.. Right
Wow, she's wonderful!
Comes along
You're terrific, just amazing
What a talent, it's astounding
You should be starred in a Broadway show
Yes. I know.
But I got tired, tired of waiting
Tired of hacking those auditions
Tired of starving, so I figured
What's the use?
By the way...
What do you do?
You won't believe it
Try me
I produce
I am feeling
Aces high
And it's because of you that I
Am feeling aces high
We're a king and a queen in the heavens
No longer at sixes and sevens
But ace...
Now that she's found that she's finally his
...ces
She looks the happy-hap-happiest lady there is
Aces high
Now it's happened. now you've made it
By tomorrow, you'll be famous
Famous.
You'll discover all New York is at your feet
My feet.
You'll have a brilliant career
Pink champagne
Instead of pretzels and beer
And you'll be with me
Everywhere I appear
No.
No?
No. I've done everything for you I could possibly do.
You don't need me anymore.
And if I stayed, why I'd be "Mr.. Peggy Smith." I fear.
- I couldn't bear that. - But...
Good-bye
My dear
Donald!
Our guest of honor tonight
is Broadway's dearest and most luminous light.
In her own time, a legend, a myth.
Ladies and gentlemen. Miss Peggy Smith.
What a night. I won't forget.
I'm just a former usherette.
And who'd have dreamed
that someday this would all come true?
Would you?
But... there's a man. one certain man.
who helped me when it all began.
and he is the one you really owe this honor to.
But he's not here.
Peggy
I wish he were.
Peggy
I can't believe it!
Peggy. Peggy
Peggy
Now my life is like
A beautiful song
My Mr.. Right
...are only for the stars
Not in the stars
For me
Pardon me, miss
I've a problem
And I wonder. would you help me?
Lost my glove
And I could use your light
Right.
Yeah.
I guess you're a big Broadway producer, huh?
As a matter of fact. I am. How did you know that?
Girls!
Happy endings
All around me
Happy endings
All I see are
Happy endings on a silver screen
Hooray, hurrah. hooray, hurrah, rah!
Hallelujah
Lovely lady
Gallant fellow
Meet one evening
Hear that cello
Troubles come between
But in that final scene
Count on a...
Happy ending
By a river
Happy ending
On a mountain
Happy ending
In a Broadway show
Happy endings
Far as I can see
Are not reserved for stars
No, no, no, no, no
They're in
The
Stars
For
Me
Happy endings
All around me
Happy endings
All I see are
Happy endings

It was written by a friend of mine...
who is a great believer in major chords.
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I wanna be a part of it
New York. New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longin' to stray
And step around the heart of it
New York. New York
I wanna wake up
In the city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
My little-town blues
Are meltin' away
I'll make a brand-new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York. New York
I wanna wake up
In the city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
Head of the list
Cream of the crop
At the top of the heap
My
Little-town
Blues
Are
Melting away
I'll make a brand-new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
Come on
Come through
New
York
New
York
I've also made an appointment for Jimmy for the inoculation.
Jimmy!
You got here!
- You're looking very good. - Thank you.
Tina?
- What did I do? - I was going to kiss you.
- This is Jan and Tina. - Nice to meet you.
Wait. Come over here.
Well. I...
guess you're having a little party here or something like that, huh?
I didn't count on it. This is supposed to be my private room.
The tune.
- Yeah, it works well. - It works. It works.
It's another way of doing it, but it works well.
I know you didn't write "Da da da-da-la da da da." but...
...that works.
I saw Sappy Endings the other night.
Happy Endings.
Yeah. Happy Endings.
- You like it? - Yeah. I loved it.
You've seen one. you've seen them all, huh?
Yeah, pretty good.
Success hasn't changed you, though, huh?
I'm only kidding, you know?
I'm serious, you know...
I'm very proud of you in a way.
In a way. I'm proud of you.
Well. I'm gonna go.
Are you gonna say good-bye to the kid on your way out?
Did he get the drums that I sent him?
Oh, did he get the drums. They drive me crazy!
Oh, they do? That means he plays them well.
He plays 'em real good. He's got a lot of talent.
He gets it from his father.
You weren't going to say mother?
Oh, yeah. I was.
I just didn't make it in time.
Francine, we could start all over again now.
Well. I guess I'd better go.
So long.
Which way do I get out of here?
Right through there.
I'll see you.
Are you ready to go, darling? We've got the table.
Hey, how you doin'?
How are you?
Aren't you going to give your father a kiss?
Who bought you these clothes anyway?
Mom.
They look terrible.
I'm only wearing them because it's a big party.
Who do you think you look like. me or your mother?
- You. - Me?
I try not to look like girls.
Hey!
Good-bye.
- Take care of yourself, okay? - I will. Bye.
What?
Hello?
Hello, it's me. Look. I don’t want to beat around the bush.
I'll go straight to the point. You want to have Chinese food with me?
I couldn’t talk with those people there. I want to talk to you about something.
- Right now? - No, tomorrow.
Now, yeah. I'm waiting by the stage door.
If you think it's a good idea. tell me yes.
- Yeah. - Yeah?
- Yeah. - Okay. I'm there.
