God bless America! We made it back!
Times Square, believe me. is wall-to-wall people.
human beings bent on having the greatest party ever
and being in on a bit of this history.
What a night this is! What a thrill!
Our boys are coming home.
and a lot of them are here right now. right in the middle of this chaos.
I've talked to them.
They're from Arkansas.; Colorado.; Seattle. Washington.;
Los Angeles.; Aberdeen. Washington.
Looking around Times Square at this very minute.
people are deliriously happy.
They're holding up newspapers with huge 8-to-10 inch headlines...
"V-J Day." it says. "War's End." "It's Over. "
Now they're hugging and kissing each other.
shouting words of cheer and encouragement.
And still, paper by the ton keeps flowing out of the windows
high, high above us.
... and the USO shows, too.
Our hats are off to all of those people in show business
who traveled the world
entertaining our men and women overseas and here at home.
Times Square is happy. New York is happy.
the United States is happy. and the world is at peace.
Tommy. I know all America wants to thank you
and your wonderful organization
for all the great war bond drives you've put on.
and for giving of your time and talent for that wonderful radio show.
The Treasury Star Parade starring T. D.
Thank you. It's been a pleasure doing our musical bit
for the peace of the world.
We all love you.
- Swinging band, huh? - Yeah.
Swinging band, man. Really jumps.
- You here by yourself? - No.
- Aww... who you here with? - My boyfriend.
Oh.
Listen, if I wanted to get in touch with you anyway, could I?
Let me take a minute of your time. I know you from someplace.
We met a few years ago at a party or a dance. I can't remember.
We had a long conversation. We really liked each other.
The problem is. I want to see you again.
My mother and father are down there. my brother and sister...
Jimmy! Jimmy! Hey. Jim...
Hey. Jim!
Catch you later, right?
Hey, where you been? Where's your uniform?
I threw it out the goddamn window!
Hey, look at those easy boxers!
Did you jump from Hawaii or what?
Jump from Hawaii? Man. I won these in a card game.
This guy had three deuces.
Little did the sucker know that I had three 3s.
- Oh, three 3s. Yes! - Three 3s? Three 3s?
- Three 3s! - Card game, huh?
- Card game. - Jackpot!
Jackpot! Jackpot!
Glad to have you back, boys. Glad to have you back.
- I know you from someplace. - No.
- You don't remember me? - No.
You don't remember we met a few years ago?
It was at party or a dance. We had a long conversation.
- You can't remember that? - No.
I just want to explain to you. first of all, my parents are over there...
my mother and father. my brother and sister.
I got to see them because I just was two years in the service, you know.
so they haven't seen me.
Now. I want to get your phone number
so I can tell you tomorrow about what I was thinking about.
There's something very, very important I've got to talk to you about.
- No. - No what?
- No.
No, no. You don't understand.
Give me your number. You got a pencil?
No.
I have a photographic memory.
Just give me your number. and I'll remember it.
- No. - Yes.
Can I meet you at Central Park? I'm serious.
I know. No.
I mean, come on. There's no way...
No!
That seat's taken.
I know it's taken, but I'm gonna sit here and figure out another angle.
You can skip it, because I've heard every angle here tonight.
- Oh, yeah? - Oh, yeah.
How about this one? "Gee, that's a...
...swinging band."
Look. I don't mean to be rude. really I don't.
but I do have friends. and they are coming back.
so why don't you just leave?
Why don't I leave as soon as they come back?
Why don't you just leave now?
If I leave now. I'll never get to know you.
I'll never get to know what a wonderful, beautiful chick you are.
I'm serious. Even though I'm giving you a line. I'm serious.
- And I know you know that. - I know that.
And I mean that from the deepest part of my heart...
which is not too deep.
Look, why don't you just go someplace else and try it again, huh?
All right.
Pardon me.
Was that fellow in the Hawaiian shirt and the white pants.
was he disturbing you?
'Cause I know him. I see him around. He's a little crazy.
No, he's not crazy. He's just pushy.
Well, you know what he said about you over there?
What?
Nothing.
Stop it.
Look, all right. all right, all right! Enough!
Look. I'm going to get serious.
When I walked in there and I saw you.
I realized I fought this war for a reason.
When I was in my foxhole.
when I was, like, not knowing whether I would live or die.
in the mud, dirty.
who the hell knew... I didn't know anything.
Is it all right? Take only a minute of your time.
Now, when I walked in there. I knew! I knew!
You knew what?
I knew that I wasn't gonna get anywhere at this table.
Now I'm impressed.
Well. I guess a little small talk's in order here now.
Can it get any smaller?
I can take a hint.
- Can you also take a walk? - You want me to leave?
Yes.
- I'll leave right now. - Bye!
You expect me to leave after the way you talked to me just now?
Will you go away?
I don't want to.
I want to stay here and annoy you.
Go away!
Look, let's avoid all this, huh? Let's get down to business.
It's getting a little tiring here.
Give me your phone number and we'll avoid all this.
Why don't I not give you my phone number and we'll avoid all this?
- What's to be avoided? - You.
But that cannot be avoided.
If you had one ounce of a gentleman in you, you'd go away!
Well. I'm not a gentleman.
- Oh, well, that explains everything. - Who said I was a gentleman?
Do I look like a gentleman in this shirt and these pants to you?
Well...
Even a louse would go away.
Why can't you just give me the phone number?
What am I gonna do with it?
Call it!
Please?
All right, look. I give up. I give up.
I'll take a rain check.
Maybe next war.
What makes you think you'll win the next one?
Hey. Evans!
Friend of yours is calling you.
Remember me? Paul's friend.
- Uh... Troy, right? - Anold.
Anold! Oh. Anold. I'm sorry!
"Anold. I'm sorry."
The Ray Bolger show. USO.
Hey. Evans! Evans! You should have come with us to London.
We had a great time. great hijinks.
- You're beautiful. - Thank you. Anold. How's Paul?
He's here. I saw him a second ago.
- He's here? - Yeah.
Where?
Paul! Hey. Paul! Look who's here! Francine!
Hi. Paul! Remember me?
I'll call you, tomorrow.
Keep on plugging. Francine!
Don't ever change! You're beautiful!
Don't ever change. Francine. You're beautiful.
Francine. I want you to meet my new monkey.
- This is Eddie DiMaggio. - That's Di Muzio.
Only you don't look like a Di Muzio.
I said, it's funny, you don't look like... Skip it.
Oh, but he's a terrific dancer.
I mean, he dips and everything. don't you, honey?
You better believe it, baby.
Have fun. Francine.
Tommy Dorsey!
Tommy Dorsey and the Orchestra. ladies and gentlemen.
Right after we pause for station identification around the country.
we're going to switch to...
Come on, you could do me that favor.
Hey, where you been? I been looking all over for you.
Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.
We're over there. The guys are waiting for you.
- Where are the broads? - They're over there.
Wait. I gotta ask you a favor. You using your room tonight?
Of course I'm using my room tonight. You want to use the room?
I fell in love about a half hour ago with this chick over there.
I think she's a professional dancer. She's got some pair of legs.
You know, very leggy. You know what I mean, don't you?
- How long you gonna be? - An hour, maybe two, maybe less.
All right. but use the bathroom.
Why didn't you bring them over to the table?
There's only two. The other two had to go to work.
So there's one for me and one for you.
- Oh, okay. - All right?
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are these the girls?
Yeah, why?
- These are the broads right here? - Yeah.
Which one is yours?
- I got the blonde. - You got the blonde?
That means I have the brunette.
She's a total pain in the ass, man.
You know how much time I just spent with her trying to make her?
I spent 20 minutes giving her every routine I knew.
It didn't even work. There was nothing! Nothing!
- The one over there? - Yeah, the one over there.
That one, the WAC.
What's the matter with you? Maybe the other one will go.
You know how girls are... one goes, the other doesn't.
You got the good one. I got the bad one.
I'm excited. It's V-J Day, man!
You know. I want to get laid. What's happening here?
Oh, look at her now. Oh, ho ho, look at that.
Look how cocky she is.
You know what I'm going to do? You go over there.
and you tell her that I was wounded in action.
Tell her I was wounded in action. I just got out of the hospital.
and I'm a little shy and a little nervous.
Tell her I'm sensitive. Lay it on like I'm a war hero.
- A war hero. - Okay.
Not too heavy, indirect, okay?
I'll wait here. and then I'll come over.
Lay it on her real well because I want to get her.
You understand? I'm gonna really screw with this one.
Leave it up to me, okay?
Wait, wait, wait... all right, okay.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Tell me what you're going to do.
Don't worry. Leave it up to me. You know how I am with girls.
What else about the other thing, though?
I'm sensitive.
Sensitive, sensitive.
Sensitive. Oh, you're sensitive. Oh, right, right, right, okay.
Wait, wait. What am I doing?
For her. I'm doing all this?
I'm gonna go over. Just introduce me to her. I'll handle it.
This is Francine Flannery. Over here. Jimmy Doyle.
Pleased to meet you.
Ellen Evans.
Wrong. I'm Francine Evans. This is Ellen Flannery.
Remember her? You've been dancing with her for the past hour.
- Come on, honey. Let's go. - He's such an animal.
Where are you go... be careful.
I'll be right back. I'll be right back.
Mind if I sit down now?
After all, we've been formally introduced now.
We're old friends.
I was just gonna say, if you and I had danced and had some fun.
it might have been a nice time.
I just gave the key to my hotel suite to my friend there
because I think he found someone he's really hooked on.
Well, that's very generous.
Yeah. I thought so.
Seems you give things away easily, huh?
- Did you have something in mind? - For what?
What you just said before.
You said that I give things away easily.
I said. "Did you have something in mind." meaning I would give anything
of myself easily to you. which I could do very easily.
He'll only be there for an hour or two.
Got any Juicy Fruit?
Sure, sure.
Bye-bye.
I get it.
Eddie, if nothing happened after four hours.
you expect something to happen in the next hour?
I'm gonna be there in one hour. I'm don't wanna argue. That's it. Bye.
I'm sure it's Doyle.
I'm sorry. There's no Doyle registered here.
You see, a friend of mine is in that room.
A friend of his. Ellen Flannery.
It's quite urgent that I get ahold of her.
I see.
Could you just look one more time?
Sure. Ellen...?
Yeah, she's afraid of heights. I'm worried about her.
If she's on a floor that's too high. you know, she gets dizzy.
That would be awful for the hotel. Acrophobia.
Excuse me just a second.
Mr.. Powell?
That's him. Mr.. Doyle!
- Mr.. Powell. - Mr.. Doyle.
Which one is it?
Mr.. Doyle. Jimmy Doyle!
I'd like to talk to you for a second, please.
Step right up over here, please.
There happen to be a problem?
This will only take a minute. Mr.. Powell.
Where's Ellen?
What luck, running into you. Fancy meeting you here!
Boy, you're a winner.
Every time I run into you. you're always causing me great problems.
- Pleasure. Good to know you. - What are you talking about?
You just ruined it for me.
Do you realize he's calling the manager now?
He's calling the manager.
He's calling the manager because I'm here under an alias!
And they're upstairs in the room. We're all gonna get arrested.
You have to go up there now and wan them.
and you have to get my suitcase and get my sax under the bed.
because I have an audition now.
I have an audition, and if you mess that up. I'm gonna get even with you.
I don't care how, but I am gonna get even with you.
'cause you ruined it!
Get up there right now!
I said do you mind? I'm having a talk with my sister.
It's a family crisis. Do you mind?
Yes. I do mind.
Well, you're gonna have to wait a minute, that's all.
Sis, oh, please, sis.
Now. Mommy's waiting.
When I went home on my leg. she was worried for a few days.
Mr.. Powell, please, you've run up quite a bill with us.
You've only been here a week.
Would you mind telling me where you were before that?
- Where was I? - That's right.
Do you mind telling me where you were?
Because you know where I was? I was in Anzio!
Anzio!
I remember now!
All right, fine. Mr.. Powell.
Wait a minute. I get carried away. Sorry. Listen.
Five nights at the Commodore. three nights at the Saint Regis.
25 minutes at the Plaza.
Enjoyed room service at each.
h one case, use of the hotel limousine.
Why do you switch hotels so often. Mr.. Powell?
You don't even know what you're talking about.
First of all, how could I even sign these checks?
These are your signatures right there.
But this is my signature hand. It doesn't even work.
You see this?
You see that?
There's no life in that arm.
I might have it amputated tomorrow.
and you're telling me that I signed these bills?
How? Did I sign with my left hand?
I'm right-handed. How can I sign with my left hand?
Look at that signature. Look at it.
Isn't this your sister? She oughta know your signature, sir.
Listen to this. He's telling me I signed this.
- Is that my signature? - Yes.
That's your sister. She oughta know your signature.
- That's not my signature. - Yes, it is.
That's his signature.
She's a little crazy. She's wacky. You know, in the WACs?
Yes.
Sis, you gotta go home.
No.
- West 55th Street. - What? No!
- I'm not gonna do this. - Go home, now!
- All right. - Remember Anzio, on the beach.
No. No, no. It's this way.
It's this way.
And right away! And I'll meet you later!
Mr.. Powell. I think it advisable...
This is a mistake! This is harassment!
I'm not coming to this hotel.
I'm gonna put in a complaint with the manager.
- Where is the manager? - Would you lower your voice, please?
I think you have a lot of nerve. You see this?
When that happens. and you can't explain why.
You want to see my leg? It's all wood.
- That's terrible. - You can knock it anywhere.
You can drive nails through it.
It's the best kind of wood. but still, it's a wooden leg.
You have a cushy job.
I lost this leg just so you can accuse me of not paying bills in a hotel?
I can't believe this.
Would you push it off, please? I can't even control it.
Honey, are you all right?
Oh, yeah. I'm just great.
Well, do you have any last words?
She... sorry. Did I scare you?
No, no.
Listen. I've had her for three years on two fronts.
She's had every germ known to man.
I hope you're not one of them. DiMaggio.
- It's Di Muzio. - Is this Jimmy's case?
What's the matter?
Can't you take a joke. for crying out loud?
Well, whatever your name is. take good care of her.
What'd you say about germs? What germs you talkin' about?
Killers.
Just...
Forgotten, but not gone.
- Uh. 242... - Hotel Olcott, please.
Wait just a second. 2842 Flatbush Avenue. Brooklyn, please.
Do you mind if I take this cab?
Well, yes. I do. but do I have a choice?
No, you don't have a choice. I have an audition.
Do you have an audition? I have an audition.
I'm late for the audition.
Why don't you come along? You have nothing better to do anyway.
How do you know that? I was thinking of doing my nails.
What's it going to be... Brooklyn or what?
I just said it's gonna be Brooklyn. 2482 Flatbush Avenue.
2842 Flatbush Avenue.
Same thing.
- What did you say about your nails? - I said I was thinking of doing them.
Well, why don't you do them?
Oh, why you so serious?
Oh, come on, loosen up.
Come on. You gave me a hard time last night.
really a hard time. Loosen up a little bit.
Oh, come, come. Let's have some gum.
This way, you keep your mouth shut. It'll keep you occupied.
No, thank you.
Bet you're really enjoying this ride. aren't you?
I'm having a hell of a time.
Well. I'm nervous because of this audition and everything.
so I've got to chew. Relaxes me.
Oh. God. I'm so nervous about this.
You make it worse, too.
So what did you say your name was?
I didn't say.
- You didn't say? - No.
- Would you do me a favor? - What?
Would you hold something for me?
What?
Give me your hand.
- For good luck. - For good luck?
Oh! That's very funny!
You got a real sense of humor, kid.
Boy. I can't believe it.
Listen. I want to ask you something.
You want to know what interests me the most. Frances?
One is music.
number two is money.
and number three is...
I got it.
Uh-huh. Got it.
- What's the matter? - I don't want it.
They always in that order?
Sure they're always in that order, unless...
you happen to come across someone who grooves you
and you want to groove with...
Say, you.
And if things work out.
and you start acting a little more intelligent.
then possibly, then I'll make number three number one.
number one number three, and...
number two...
Now, wait.
Now, now, wait. Now I'm getting confused.
You put it where, uh...
You put it where number three is.
That's the way it would be. Let me start all over again.
Let me get this...
Number three would be number one.
And number two and number three.
Exactly. and when you have that.
you have what you call a major chord.
What's a major chord?
A major chord is when everything in your life works out perfectly.
when you have everything you could ever possibly want.
Everything.
You have the woman you want. you have the music you want.
and you have enough money to live comfortably.
That's a major chord.
Oh.
A 1. 2. 3. 4!
That's enough. Doyle. Hold it.
Doyle!
What?
I got a hangover. That's a little loud.
A little loud? What do you mean? You didn't dig those sounds?
You didn't even let me finish, man. You didn't let me finish the chorus.
Jimmy?
Uh... Jimmy, could I talk to you just for a minute?
I'll just be a sec...
Look, you know what's happening? You're playing terrific.
Yeah.
I think you should play it just a little smoother.
like a ballad or something.
I think this guy's got that kind of attitude.
You know, the whole joint screams that sort of thing...
Well, that's all right. Are you my agent?
Want 10%, huh?
Sit over there. Sit over there.
I said when we came to sit over there. Now sit over there.
Just rude. Rude.
See what you did?
Come here. Come here. Come here.
Don't do that in front of everybody.
We do this all the time.
Don't talk to me like that and don't touch me.
I just want to say I'm sorry. I just got annoyed at him, you know.
Sometimes I put my foot in my mouth.
- How about my foot in it? - How about putting your iron in it?
- Well, that's what we're here for. - How about giving me a break?
Come here. Doyle. I want to talk to you.
- Get a load of this guy, huh? - He wants you to come over there.
Come on! Come here, come here.
Go there, go there, go there.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Try and understand my situation, will ya?
What I got is a boy singer and an eight-piece polka orchestra.
you understand?
Try Chevalier. You know any Chevalier?
The guys come back from France. they like that sound.
Chevalier?
Yeah.
Hey, man. I play that stuff. I kill people, you know?
This isn't 1917. You look a little more hip to me than that.
I'd rather get a job in a post office.
h that case. Doyle. let's forget it.
Yeah, let's forget it. That's what I said.
- No, that's what I said. - No, that's what I said.
- No. I said forget it. - No. I said it. I forgot it.
If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
'Cause you've brought a new kind of love to me
Play!
If the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to dream my whole life through
'Cause you've brought a new kind of love to me
I know that I'm a queen and you're a king
Still I understand that underneath it all
I'm a girl. and you, you are a man
I would work and slave my whole life through
If I could hurry home to you
'Cause you've brought a new kind of love...
Can you dance?
Not you, her. What's the matter, you crazy?
Let's see the legs! The legs!
How I'd work. I'd slave my whole life through
Just to hurry home to you
'Cause you've brought a new kind of love to me
Ho, ho, ho
You've brought a new kind of love to me!
New love
That's it!
We make it a boy-girl act. You start tomorrow night.
Three shows nightly. You're off Sundays.
Listen, baby, we ought to work on some material tomorrow.
I have to go in. It's so late!
Stay with me a little while. It's early yet.
No. I'm getting soaked!
Jimmy, look, why don't you just call me tomorrow?
- What time? - Noon is fine.
Okay. I'm going. I'm going now.
Good night. Jimmy.
- Okay. I'll call you tomorrow. - Okay!
- All right. - Where to, buddy?
Quiet just a minute. I'm looking for something.
Oh. Miss Evans? Miss Evans?
- What? - Telephone.
It's your agent. He's been calling all night.
- You can take it here. - Thank you.
Hello? Tony.
- Yes, sir, may I help you? - I'd like to check in.
Fine. If you'll just sign the register.
Do you have any more bags outside?
Yes. I do. I have one in the cab over there.
If you wouldn't mind waking up the bellhop.
I don't want to disturb him.
Wake him up and send him outside and just pay the bill also.
and then you can put it on this bill.
We'll wake him in a few minutes.
I'm sort of ready to go back to work. I'd like a little bit of a rest.
"Mr.. M. Powell." Excuse me, sir.
- What are you doing? - I'm checking in.
- Why here? - Why not here?
Because I'm gonna get blamed when you don't pay the bill.
and you know you're not gonna pay the bill.
Well, forget it. I'm checking in.
Anything else you'd like, sir?
I'd like some Scotch and some vodka.
If there's a liquor store around here. maybe we can send the bellhop over.
We'll just put that on the bill, okay?
When he wakes up. we'll send him out.
All right. Jimmy.
Look...
take this.
This will be enough for a room for tonight.
Just go anyplace else.
It's a lot easier if I just come up and we start working on the material.
I'll sleep in the bathtub. I told you, a lot easier.
No. Will you please take this?
- It's a lot easier. - Just take this. Jimmy.
- 12:00? - Yes. 12...
I promise.
- All right. - Suite 415, sir.
Forget it. I'm not gonna take it. He doesn't even wake up.
- I don't want it. I'm not interested. - Sorry you feel that way, sir.
That's a great suit.
Oh, thank you very much. Miss Evans.
Tony?
What do you want?
Right. Frankie Harte. 7:30 tomorrow morning.
No! No!
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Hey. Pops. are you Jimmy Doyle?
Want to play the blues?
Are you Jimmy Doyle?
No.
You're the sax player, ain't you?
I'm a sax player. but I'm not Jimmy Doyle.
Do you think it's possible that you can communicate
with Jimmy Doyle the sax player?
Depends on what you want me to communicate.
I have a very important missive for Jimmy Doyle.
- A what? - A billet-doux.
- A billet-doux? - A Billy who?
I'll elucidate.
A tender message from a certain female party.
For me?
- For you. - For him?
Precisely.
Take it. Doyle.
It's from Francine.
She said she had a wonderful time.
Hey, wait. I'll be right back.
- Where you goin', baby? - Be right back.
That girl ain't comin', is she?
- I'm getting her now. - Ten minutes, or you're fired.
What do you care? There's no one here anyway.
You had your jam session. and now you're not coming back!
Hey, man, hold it. Hey. Daddy, hold it, hold it.
Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?
- Did you read this letter? - Of course not.
What do you think I am, crazy. read letters?
- Your name is Tony Harwell? - That's right.
- You're an agent? - Yeah.
- You're her agent? - Of course.
She says. "Just ask Tony if you need any help on anything.
He's a wonderful cat. and he appreciates talent."
- Let me see that letter. - I can't show you the letter.
It's a personal letter. but that's what she said.
She also said that she's with Frankie Harte's band.
she's on the road, and there's a possibility of a spot for me.
- Is that true? - Possibility.
- A possibility? - That's right.
You're an agent?
I reiterate, yes.
If I went down there. would you be my agent?
No.
Why not?
I ain't interested. I'm satisfied with the list of clients I got now.
You're makin' a mistake. but okay.
I made a lot of mistakes. So I'll make another one.
This one's on me.
Well, where is she?
Why should I tell you where she is if she doesn't tell you in the letter?
Then why do you take the time to come out to Brooklyn to give me this letter
if you don't think she cares enough about me
to let me know where she is.
or to let you know to let me know where she is?
Doesn't that make sense to you?
It should, but it don't.
- They're in Asheville. - Asheville?
But don't mention my name. If Frankie asks me. I don't know you.
I'll say I never even met you. I don't know you.
- Where is Asheville? - Where God lost His shoes.
Where God lost His shoes. That's a good answer.
Thanks a lot. I'll find it.
Asheville is a mountain resort in North Carolina.
Thanks for telling me. You got any other advice for me?
Yeah. Stay off the junk. and you'll go far.
Fine. Thanks a lot. Swell of you to say that.
Once in a while
Won't you try to give one little thought
To me
Though someone else may be nearer your heart?
Once in a while
Won't you think of the moments
I shared with you
Moments before we two drifted apart?
h love's smoldering embers
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may bun again
They left? Where did they go. do you know?
Roanoke?
It is? It's the Mayfair Club in Roanoke. Virginia?
Hello?
All aboard!
Thank you! Thank you very much.
Come on.
You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
Two lovely eyes. at me they were gleaming
Beaming
I was starstruck
You're all my lucky charms
I love...
- Keep the change. - Here's your change.
No, no, that's for you. Keep it.
- Ah, it's only a nickel. - That nickel's for you. It's a tip.
Ah, take it.
- You don't want the nickel? - No.
All right. I'll take it.
You are my lucky charms
I'm lucky in your arms
You opened heaven's portal here on earth
For this poor mortal
You are my lucky, lucky star
Look at that five-star pain in the ass out there, will ya?
Look at him clap.
I'm goin' over there and stuff him in the garbage can.
No. It's all right. He may be a vet, you know?
- I think I know him. - He's a dummy.
Okay, hold it. Hold it! Hold it!
Please. Now, look. you go back up on the bandstand.
I'm gonna come right back up there with you.
Jimmy. I'll talk to you after the set is finished, all right?
After the set? Okay. Sure.
But first. I'm gonna have a word with him.
All right, you're upset because I didn't come to you in person
and say good-bye, right?
Right. Which brings up another thing... you don't say good-bye to me.
I say good-bye to you.
h no way, shape, or form do you say good-bye to me.
- I say good-bye to you. - Oh.
- Fine! Go ahead and say it. - Say what?
Say good-bye. Go ahead.
Come here.
Oh. I see.
I'll just have to wait until you say come here, right?
And then when you say come here. I'm supposed to come here.
Look, look.
You think I came all the way down here to argue with you, huh?
You think I came all the way down here. chased you, to argue with you?
I'm just confused.
Didn't you understand when I said "major chord" that I meant it about you?
Sometimes you really are hard to understand. You really are.
You're hard to understand. Don't change the subject.
I love you.
I mean. I don't love you.
I dig you. I like you a lot. and, you know...
I wouldn't come all the way down here if I didn't like you, right?
Yeah.
Oh. Jimmy.
How do you feel about Texarkana?
How do I feel about Texarkana? What do you mean?
What I'm sayin' is that Frankie said
that if you came down. you could audition.
I could audition? No, forget it.
I'll play for him. I won't audition.
Okay.
Don't. Jimmy.
Jimmy, come on.
Jay, will you, please? It's slippery out there.
We don't want to slide into town. we want to drive in.
Leave me alone. I'm tryin' to take a nap.
All right. The points.
Give me some quarters. He's beating the pants off me.
I'm glad I'm working for you.
You should be glad to work for anybody.
You're not the greatest piano player in the world, you know that?
It's gonna be one of those nights.
I'm a good musician, man.
You really are. Coming from me, that means nothing.
Maybe someday you'll write something for me, too.
I am writing something for you.
I'm writing this for you.
What? You think I check out each room?
- The last time I got a room... - Will you get off my back?
When you play cards. you go crazy.
Why don't you guys zip up? Clam up, will ya?
You don't even let me read what you're writing now.
let alone your first poem.
Imagine you giving me your first poem?
Now let's go into the bridge.
If you let me read it...
If you let me read some of that. I'll let you write the lyrics to this.
That's blackmail.
Right.
Oh. Jimmy.
Aw, come on. Come on. let me see what it is.
- No. I don't want to. - Aw, come on.
- No, it's private. - It's only a poem.
Well, it's my poem. and it's for me.
You never let me see what you're writing.
Well. I'm embarrassed.
You wrote all this about me?
It's all about me?
Well, most of it.
It's all about me, though?
It's not about anybody else? It's all about me?
That's right.
Get your shoes on. Come on.
- Are you all right, honey? - Yeah.
I know it's not very good, but...
Come on, get 'em on.
Come on.
I don't know what we're doing now.
Wait a minute.
Here, pay me.
We're gonna be right back. Few minutes.
- No, pay me now. - I'm not gonna pay you now, man!
You think I'm not gonna have a cab standing by in the middle of nowhere?
We'll be back in a second. I think.
Pull it back with your hand.
Jimmy.
You all right? You want a handkerchief?
- It's nothing. - Here. I've got a handkerchief.
- You knocked? - Yes. I'm sorry.
I'm terribly sorry about that. Are you the justice of the peace?
That's right.
You are? I'm sorry about the window. It's just, you know, we're a little anxious.
Is there a possibility that we could be married now?
We're in a bit of a hurry. I can't even explain to you why.
I wish I could. You can see the way we look.
- Please close this up, honey. - Now?
Could you please? Just take about two minutes of your time.
We'll make it worth your while. and I will pay for the glass, too.
- Could you, please? - Well... I guess I could.
Oh, yeah, we can arrange it.
We can arrange it. Come on in.
No. Uh... just a minute.
- Can I talk to you? - Aren't you sure?
Yeah, just one second, please.
- You're kidding, right? - Kidding what?
- That was it? - What was what?
Your proposal?
"Get your coat on. Put on your shoes. Come on, let's go." That was it?
What's wrong with that?
- They're not sure. - Sure, we're sure.
What's wrong with that?
I thought it was gonna be different.
It is different. It's the way I do it.
Anything wrong?
There's nothing wrong.
They're not sure, believe me.
No. I just thought...
What?
Nothing. I just thought it would be different.
Different? It is different!
I know it's different. It's not the kind of different I had in mind.
The kind of different I had in mind was maybe sweet and calm...
It is calm!
- All right. That's good. - I'm sorry. I'm just a little...
- And pretty, you know? - What?
- Pretty. - It's pretty!
But you can't say that. You can't say it's pretty.
I want to marry you! What are you talking about?
Please go inside, go inside. This is private.
Would you wait one second?
I'm coming.
- Did you hear what I said? - Yes.
I want to marry you. Okay. Okay?
What's the matter now? What do you want me to do?
You want me to kill myself over this, darling?
All right.
Listen, when I say "now." you back up.
- That's it. - Jimmy. I...
Wait a minute, don't back up! Don't move!
Now!
No! No!
Now!
Don't shift. don't do anything. Just stay.
Will you please get out from under...
This happens all the time.
Will you...
Will you marry me? Will you marry me?
I love you. Will you marry me?
I don't want anybody else to be with you.
I want to be with you. do you understand?
I don't want anybody else to be with you except me.
I love you.
Look at me. I love you.
Oh. I love you, too.
Wait a minute.
See, that was terrific.
You liked that?
Yeah. I really liked that.
It was a lot better that way?
- Yeah. - Aw, good.
Hey, no! Stop! Please!
You missing a man?
Yeah. Fowler. Did you find him?
The house dick did. Caught him in his room with a local chick.
Big deal. So what?
What do you mean, big deal? She's 13.
Fowler grabbed the guy's gun and started shooting out all the lights.
Cops got him now.
Thanks.
Jimmy, take over for me. will you, please?
I gotta go bail Fowler out again. This guy's driving me crazy.
Think I could do a couple of my arrangements?
Please, not tonight. Just play the usual, huh?
Come on, man.
There are only four people in the audience. What's the difference?
I don't care about that. I'm only asking you to front for me.
Now, do you have to give me grief, too?
All right, all right.
Frannie. I'm gonna cancel the rest of the tour.
Again?
What do you mean "again"?
Well, this is the fifth time that you've cancelled.
But this is the first time I meant it.
I really mean it now. Then I was jivin' you.
I mean it. I'm gonna really pack it in. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, come on, you remember.
we used to go out and do 80. 85 one-nighters in a row.
Yeah.
All those joints... they're not ballrooms anymore, baby.
They're like parking lots. skating rinks.
The theaters. they're all bombed out.
I really did. I thought a lot about it.
thought about finally letting somebody else front the band.
you know. take a piece of the action.
Play there. not have to lift a finger.
But there's only one guy who can front this band.
I know... Jimmy, right?
No, me, and if I go... the band goes.
It's game over. You know it.
You sure you won't have a little taste?
- No, you have it. - Oh, beautiful. I will.
Maybe Jimmy... would consider...
You said he's good. You think he's good.
He's not only good, baby. he's a bitch.
He blows a barrel full of tenor.
Oh, but he's some kind of pain in the ass.
- I don't want to start this argument. - All right, okay, all right.
But he's a top pain in the ass. and that's the truth.
A top pain in the ass.
You want to say it once more... three times for luck?
Three would groove me. It's my favorite number.
Top pain in the ass.
Well, maybe you're right. but he's good.
I'm sorry. Mr.. Doyle.
It's not quite what I had in mind.
Yeah, sorry, fellas.
He wants garbage. I don't know.
Look. Mr.. Horace. I know it's not Frankie Harte.
We can do that stuff too, man. but this is a different sound.
I think you should listen to it. Just give us another chance.
This guy must be crazy.
I made a deal with Frankie Harte and his orchestra.
not Jimmy Doyle and his flying zacamaniacs.
But this is Frankie Harte and his orchestra, without Frankie Harte.
h fact, it's even better.
Frankie wouldn't give us the band if he didn't think it was gonna work out.
That's true. You know how Frankie is.
What do you have to lose? Come on, give me a chance.
What do I have to lose?
What does this look like to you. a peanut gallery here?
Looks like a place that needs someone like me.
that's what it looks like.
Give us half a chance.
Where's the girl singer you're supposed to have?
Is she stunning? Blonde? What?
She's stunning, blonde, everything. She walks, she talks, dances.
She'd better be good.
All right, fellas. get on number 358.
Horace, have you gone crazy? You've already listened to the band.
You didn't like 'em. Why do you want to listen to a singer?
Of course I'm crazy. How do you think I wound up in this business?
Hello. Mr.. Morris.
Okay.
When the mellow moon begins to beam
Every night. I dream a little dream
And, of course. Prince Charming is the theme
The he for me
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true
To me, it's clear
That he'll appear
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I will meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday
Maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good-news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would? Would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for
The man
I
Love
Thank you. Francine Evans.
"But the real winner is singer Francine Evans.
"a spirited filly who sports musical paces as smooth as her form.
Miss Evans seems headed straight for the winner's circle."
Jimmy, did you see this?
Yeah. I saw it. I saw that, yeah.
The guys are all excited.
Everybody's all buzzing around and everything.
and Paul had a good idea.
He said that we should take one of the quotes...
like the best quote about the... your band...
and put it outside.
Maybe even take something in Downbeat or Variety.
Very good idea. Yeah, that's a good.
This is a good thing. We might get another week out of this hotel with this.
Did you get ahold of that trumpet player?
The trumpet player. did you get ahold of the...?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I called his wife. He's in Virginia on some gig.
She'll give him the message when he calls.
If he's not gonna call. let's go with Charlie Baxter.
Yeah. I like him.
Okay.
I don't know if he's gonna go for the money
that we're gonna be able to pay him.
Well, that's your problem. You get him. That's your department.
Okay. I'll see you later.
Thank you. Paul.
We've never made the papers like this before.
It's really wonderful. Thank you.
It's really good. It's great.
Here I go again
I hear the trumpets blow again
I'm all aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
I know. I know. I know. I know.
Hold it, fellas. Jerry, you're not cuttin' it, man.
You are not cuttin' it.
If you...
- What is the problem? - If you'll just...
Excuse me.
You're not cuttin' it, man. Do it as written, okay?
How do you really want it to sound?
The way it's written, and the way I explained it to you. Come on.
I'll try.
No, don't try, do it! Don't try, do it, do it!
- You playin' by yourself? - I don't think so.
'Cause I can put you in a room somewhere.
you can play all by yourself.
You sound like you got hooks for hands.
Funny.
Funny. I know, but you're being funny. and you're costing us a lot of time.
That's a little rough, wasn't it... hooks for hands?
You'd get much more out of him...
- Are you the bandleader? - No. I'm not.
Okay, you're not the bandleader. therefore don't tell me how to do it.
- 90% of all drummers are crazy. - I know that.
Look. Jimmy, we only got 15 more minutes in this room.
then we gotta get out. I gotta do my hair.
I gotta press your shirt. we gotta call Tony. I gotta do my nails.
I got a lot to do. so we should really go ahead...
don't you think?
- Ready? - Yeah.
1. 2. 1-2-3-4.
Here I go again
I hear trumpets blow again
I'm all aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide...
Where on earth are you going. Nicky?
You're rushing that thing like we're at the racetrack or something.
Listen. I'm pickin' up the tempo from you.
Did you have a fight or something today?
- No. I didn't. - Well, then, what's wrong?
You're not pickin' up the tempo from anybody, man.
You're doing exactly what you're always doing.
Your wife is slowin' it down.
- What am I doing? - Wait a minute. Stay out of this.
- What am I doing? - Wait a minute!
- She is slowing it down? - Yes.
- I am not slowing it down... - I can handle it. I can handle it.
She's not slowing down anything, man.
We have been through this 50 million times.
You always do this, man. You always give me a hard time.
Can't you read this and just do it right?
Now I can't read, huh?
You can't read if you can't do that.
Listen. I studied at Brooklyn Conservatory
and the Staten Island Conservatory of Music for three years!
You did? Well, it doesn't show, man!
It does not show? Well, maybe this'll show.
I'm packin' my axe and my hooks. and I'm cuttin' out!
That shows. Okay. I'm gonna show you something now.
I want to show you something. See?
Okay? Happy?
Yeah. I'm happy. Are you happy?
Yeah, now I'm happy.
That's funny. I'm happy, too.
Got it all out of my system.
- Feel better? - Yeah, much better.
It's very good out, now.
Okay, get your drums ready. Can we start all over here?
- I feel much better. - Good, good. Okay.
I'm sorry. Look.
I know we've all been working hard. and we've been working too hard.
but like the man says. if we get this thing right.
we'll blow the roof off this place. you know?
So why don't we really try?
- You ready? - Yeah.
Good. I'm glad.
1. 2...
1-2-3-4.
Here I go again
I hear the trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Francine. Come here.
- What? - Come here.
No. I want to hear this.
Don't ever do that again. You do not kick off the band.
I kick off the band. you understand?
Don't ever do it again. Ever again.
Let's go.
From the tag.
1. 2. 1-2-3-4.
Come on.
Taking a chance. taking a chance
Taking a chance on love
- Like that? - Yeah, it's good.
Oh, ah, gee. what are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination
Just you
Just me
I'll tie a lovers' knot
I'll tie a big, fat knot
Round wonderful you
- Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. - Thank you.
Thank you. Francine Evans. Thank you.
- You okay, baby? - Yeah.
Hand for Francine Evans. ladies and gentlemen.
- You all right, baby? - She's all right.
What's the matter?
- I feel terrific. - You sure?
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

And round

I'd like to sing a song now.
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?

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.
