Go on, take a card, any card at all.

Now look at it.

Now put it back.

Ace of spades.

When did you change the act, Pop?

I didn't. He did.

- He did?
- Yeah.

He says straight magic
is too old-fashioned.

[audience applauding]

-[whistles]
- Hey, wait a minute. Wait. Take a bow.

- You take it, Pop. I got to get married.
- Come here. They're applauding you.

They like it.

Lucky.

- Now what?
- I want to reason with you, if I can.

But you already did.

But have you really made up your mind
to leave me

just to marry some girl
you happen to know?

Well, it's kind of customary to know
the bride, isn't it?

Yeah, but I hate to see you
leave show business.

Why, a man with your talent -

My talent is gambling, Pop.

Hoofing is all right,
but there's no future in it.

I want to spread out.

Yeah, I think I'm going to miss you,
Lucky.

I know I'm going to miss you, Pop.

Is he staying with us, Pop?

No, he's made up his mind to get married.

How do you like that? Letting his marriage
interfere with our career.

- We never should have played his hometown.
- Yeah, it was a bad move.

Bad for us and bad for him.

Local boy makes bad.

- Father, has he come yet?
- No, and it's all very much as I expected.

-[whistling]
-[hummin9]

Hi, fellows.

- How do I look?
- Marvelous, colossal, splendid.

[men chuckling]

Oh, wait a minute.

You're not going like that.

Why, of course.

Big church wedding, girl's family
very social, whole town there.

I guess it doesn't really matter.
[chuckles]

Just a hick town.

What doesn't matter?

Last year's trousers.

Last year's trousers?

No cuffs.

No cuffs?

- No cuffs?
- Whoever heard of cuffs on these?

Are you serious?

Ah, don't be ridiculous.

So maybe he's wrong.

Wait a minute. Let's see that.

- What do you think of that?
- In a hurry, you're liable to overlook -

Wait a minute.

- Garnett.
- Yeah?

You're wanted on the telephone.

- All right.
- Just a minute. I'll answer it for you.

[all chattering]

It'll only take about five minutes.

Hello.

Hello, John. Will you hurry?

Tell him the minister's here.
Margaret's been ready for an hour.

We're all waiting for him.

All right, I'll tell him.

Who was it?

It was the minister.
He said to take it easy.

He'll be about a half hour late.

- Oh, good.
- And you see? Look.

There's plenty of material.
I'll take them down and have them fixed.

No, you don't.

Pop, take them down to Schmidt's
and have them back in five minutes.

You want two cuffs on this?

Yeah, one on each leg.

Yeah.

And hurry up. Tell him
I got to have them back right away.

While we're waiting, gentlemen,
we'll indulge in the famous indoor sport.

There's a buck says I'll get seven.

[man shouts]

[chattering]

Yeah, so the next man.

- Any word?
- They say he'll be here any minute.

You know,
I told Margaret this would happen.

You know, I always say marry in haste,

repent at leisure.

The young man is now one hour
and 25 minutes late.

That isn't exactly marrying in haste.
flaughs]

As long as I am living and longer,

I have never seen cuffs
on pants like these.

What's the matter? Can't you make them?

I can make anything,

but I would rather not be wrong
than right.

Well, I'm paying for cuffs,
and I want cuffs.

No. No. Ten time - 20 times no.

Can't you understand - Look.

Here. Let me show you.

Do you see any cuffs there? Not one cuff.

Ten times of no cuffs.

Here. Look these over. You see no cuffs.

Here. Millions of no cuffs.

No cuffs.

More than that. Positively not one cuff.

Why not?

- I want to speak to Mr. Garnett.
Speaking.

- Here he is, sir.
- Let me talk to him.

Say, listen you.

The guests are all going home,

and I'm the happiest man in the world
because the wedding's off.

And furthermore,
if you ever come to this house again,

I'll break every bone in your body.

You understand that?

Hey, Red, is that call for me?

No, it's my dame.

Okay, sweetheart.

And a great, big juicy kiss for you.

- Two-to-one to me.
- Two-to-one.

Roll them out.

[mouthing words] It's off.

- Five.
- File away.

- File away.
- Let's give them some of that.

[chattering]

Give me a chance to get my dough back.

-[chattering continues]
- Come on.

- Roll the die.
- Give us a roll.

- Nice long roll now.
- Here it comes.

[men shouting]

You ought to marry those dice.

Marry? Holy cats.

What time is it?

- Pop, my pants.
- You've got them on.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Wait. You're not going to run out
with all our dough.

I got to get married.

Ah, ah, ah, I'll bet you the bankroll
you don't get married.

That's a bet.

No cuffs.

The tailor says those kind of pants
shouldn't have cuffs.

Oh. What?

Nice fellas.

Hello.

Where's everybody?

Why, the guests have all gone, sir.

Did you wish to be announced?

[man grunts] Let me get my hands
on that young man,

-and I'll strangle him.
-[thuds]

[woman] You leave him to me.
I'll take care of him.

No. Maybe I'd better surprise them.

[man] I'll teach him he can't do anything
like this to a daughter of mine.

[woman] This is my affair. Keep out of it.

[man] I know, but I'm your father.
I'll settle this as I see fit.

We'll be the laughingstock
of this whole town.

- Uh-huh.
- So.

[barks]

[snarls]

Well, here I am.

Young man, why didn't you appear
for your wedding?

[chuckles] I thought you'd ask me that.

Don't stand there like a statue.
You said you were going to do something.

- Well, do it.
-[groans]

- Well, what are you going to do?
- Why, I...

- You -
- Don't you dare touch him.

- Well, why don't you do something?
- I will.

I will, but, well, I...

Pardon me. I think I'm in the way.
Perhaps you two would like to be alone.

You stay right where you are.

I'm not finished with you yet.

I had a feeling you weren't.

I wouldn't let you marry her for $10,000.

- How about 20?
- Not for 20,000.

- Twenty-five?
- Not for 25 -

Say, young man,
where could you get $25,000?

By dancing? [chuckles]

Yeah, there's another thing.

Coming back to your own hometown
in a dancing act.

I'm going into a new business.

Why, only this afternoon, I made $200.

$200?

Yes, that's why I was late
for the wedding.

Well...

that makes it a little different.

I'm not consenting to your wedding, but...

Oh, no.

I always admire any young man
that can make money.

It shows... Well, it shows character.

- That's too kind of you, sir.
- Oh, not at all.

Then Margaret and I can get married?

Well, if you go to New York
and work hard at your business,

and if you're successful...

you can come back here and ask me
for my Margaret.

- On.
- Oh, Daddy.

And in all probability,
I'll be very happy to give her to you.

Right, sir. Thank you, sir.

John,dean"

you'll come back soon, won't you?

That all depends upon the stakes.
Uh, the stocks. Uh, business.

Goodbye, my son.

Thank you, Father... in-law.

Well, I'll say goodbye again
because we'll both be waiting for you.

- Hurry back, dear. New York is a big city.
- I feel I'm a little to blame in this.

I didn't realize what a bright, young,
upstanding young man you were.

- Do take care of yourself.
- I don't care how big the city,

I feel confident you're going to be
successful. Yes. [laughing]

[laughing] Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Lucky.

Couldn't I go with you?

I'm afraid you'd try to be
a good influence on me.

No, honest, I wouldn't.

I'm terrible bad when you get to know rne.

Oh, then I wouldn't want you
to come with me.

One to New York, please.

[Lucky whistles]

[chuckles] Well.

Whose money are you using?

Yours. Thank you very much. [chuckles]

[chuckles]
But our money belongs to us again.

Hey, what's the idea?

Remember our bet.
You see, you didn't get married.

- Well, I'll pay you later.
- Oh, no, no.

[conductor] All aboard.

- But I got to get that train.
- You mean you had to get it.

You know,
you didn't win that lucky quarter.

Hey, I'll flip you
for a ticket to New York.

I don't want to go to New York.

He doesn't want to go to New York.

Goodbye, Lucky, old boy. So long.

- Goodbye, Lucky.
- See you later.

Goodbye, there.

Give my regards to the folks, will you?

Say hello to Aunt Lucy.

So long.

Goodbye, Lucky.

[murmuring]

Lucky!

Lucky, here's your suitcase.

Here's your toothbrush.

Oh, boy, I'd give my life for a smoke.

Well, take the quarter.

Oh, no, sir. Not the lucky one. Uh-uh.

Wait a minute. I'll get a smoke.

I beg your pardon.
Have you got a match, please?

Thank you.

How careless of me.
I left my cigarettes at home.

Then you won't need the matches.

I'm afraid that won't work.
Not unless you have a needle and thread.

Excuse me. Have you change for a quarter?

Thank you very much.

You shouldn't have done that just for me.

I could have got along without them.

- Huh?
- You hold it.

All right.

[both exclaim]

Looks like a jackpot.

Here. Yes. Go and get
your lucky quarter back, quick.

I beg your pardon.

- You probably think I'm silly, but -
- Yes, I'm afraid I do.

[whistle blows]

Just a moment. That quarter,
I wonder if I could have it back.

This isn't getting you anywhere.

You don't understand.
I'm not trying to get acquainted.

All I want to know is...

It's all my fault too. I...

I'm awfully sorry.

Yes, I know.
You've been trying so hard to avoid me.

All right, give it back.

Give what back?

The quarter you stole from my purse.

Come on, will you?

Hand it over, or I'll call a policeman.

- I haven't got it. I gave it to you back -
- Officer! Officer!

- Come on, let's go, will you?
- No, wait a minute.

What seems to be the trouble?

- Oh, good morning, sir.
- Good morning.

Officer, this man stole a quarter
from my purse. Make him give it back.

Miss, does he look like a man
that would go around stealing quarters?

- That's what I said to the little lady.
-lmagine this.

I don't care what you think he looks like,
I know he stole my quarter.

You run along, sister, before I run you in
for disturbing the peace.

- But, Officer, he took my -
- That'll be enough.

Run along, now.
You're obstructing traffic.

- Why, you - you Cossack!
-[Lucky laughs]

Officer, you had no right to speak
to that little girl that way.

I suppose you're going to tell me
what my duty is.

Not at all, but I -

Listen, guys like you pay me
to protect them from screwy dames.

That's all very well,

but in this instance,
I'm sure you were wrong.

So now I'm wrong?

Why, you ought to thank me
for what I've done.

- Well, all right. Thank you.
- All right.

-[no audible dialogue]
-[car horn honking]

What did you say?

I said, look out for the great big ditch.

[car horn honks]

Here.

Pop, why didn't you tell me you had it?

What, in front of the cop?
I'd have been accused of stealing it.

Give me that.

Wait for me.

[piano playing]

Miss Carrol!

- Hello, kids.
-[chattering]

No wonder the school's losing money.
Everybody late every morning.

Any more dillydallying, and some of you
are going to lose yourjobs.

Yes, and that goes for you girls too. Ha!

Anybody would think
I had nothing else to do, but nothing.

One would.

Oh. Ha.

Miss Anderson, good morning.

Yes, and if you are late again,
you'll be fired too.

That's final. I have nothing more to say.

That's good.

- Is that you, Mabel?
- I don't know. Tell me, is it?

- Kind of sounds like you.
- Well, that's a load off my mind.

I'm never sure these days.

- Did you see a young lady -
- Excuse me,

but visitors
make the pupils self-conscious.

Would you mind waiting a second, please?
Thank you very much.

Miss Anderson, come quickly.

Please.

He's hissing at me again, the swan.

[Anderson clears throat]

Oh.

Good morning to you too.
Are you interested in the dance?

- I came here to see if I -
- All the world loves a dancer.

- To know how to dance -
-ls to know how to control oneself.

Thanks. You saved me a lot of breath.

Well, our course is $45,
but the first lesson is given free

to see if the prospective student
has any real aptitude.

That's why our school is so successful.
We never refuse the $45.

- I mean...
- You never let a pupil get away.

- I understand.
- Yes. We don't fool anybody.

Have you any preference
as to the type of instructress you'd like?

Urn, yes, I have.

I'd like one that comes to about here,

and if she had red hair,
that would be a great help.

- And a cute little nose.
- Mm-hmm.

She might be able to teach you
to move your feet.

Ah, Miss Anderson, my dear, good morning.

- Heh.
- Me too.

- Mr. Gordon, this is Mr. -
- Garnett.

How do you do, Mr. Garnett?
I'm delighted, I assure you.

The young man would like a trial lesson.

-[Gordon] Of course.
- I think Miss Carrol might please him.

Of course, Miss Carrol.
Come this way, will you?

She's one of our best instructresses.

You're a very fortunate young man
to learn to dance, to move -

- To flirt with Terpsichore.
- Yes. What?

Hey, Lucky.

How do you do?

- Do you mind if I wait here?
- No, help yourself.

- Well, thanks.
- I mean to the chair.

Miss Carrol?

This is Mr. Garnett.

This is Miss Penelope Carrol.

We're all so fond of her here.
We just call her Penny.

- Penny?
- Yes.

Penny?

Penny,dean

This is Mr. Garnett.

- Penny.
- Miss Carrol.

Mr. Garnett is very anxious to learn
how to dance.

So you won't always be stepping
on other people's toes.

-[chuckles] That's very good, isn't it?
- Yes. Yes, that's very good.

Yes. What kind of dancing
would you like to learn?

Urn... what kind have you got?

- Sap.
- Sap dancing?

No, no, no, no.
She means tap dancing, yes.

- Tap dancing, of course.
- Yes, tap dancing.

We have tap dancing and ballroom dancing
and aesthetic dancing.

Well, if it's all the same to you,
I'll take a little of each.

A little of each, yes.

No, you see, Miss Carrol wants to know
what kind you'd like to learn first.

Well, whichever takes the longest.

[chuckles] Yes, well...

Go on. Begin the lesson.

You must learn to walk first.

Start with your right foot, please.

No, no, your right foot.

Sorry, I'm left-handed.

Right, left, right, left.

Right, left -

Miss Carrol,
I'm sorry about your quarter, but -

if you're trying to annoy me,
you are succeeding.

You don't care about learning to dance.

But I do. All the world loves a dancer,
don't you?

Right... left, right, left.

Right, left, right, left.

This is fun.

- Now you turn.
- Start again.

Right, left -

if you don't get out of here,
I'm going to lose my temper.

If you talk like that,
I'll have to call a policeman.

- Why, you -
- Officer.

Right...

"Our young ladies are sweet-tempered,
patient, and understanding."

You're doing splendidly.

I don't think you need me here any longer.
And I know I'm leaving you in good hands.

Lovely hands.

That's the most marvelous trick
I've ever seen a magician do.

You mean the one with the four aces?

No, the way you made
my club sandwich disappear.

Who, me?

MY dear young lady, I -

You better take a club sandwich
out of this hat.

Are you accusing me
of eating your sandwich?

You might begin by taking
that piece of lettuce off your necktie.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

One, two, three. Turn.

One, two, three.

Let's try it again

from the beginning.

All right.
One, two, three. One, two, three.

Turn. One -

[chuckles, snaps] I'm getting it.

Yes.

Again.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

Turn. One, two, three. One, two, three.

Now you've got it.

I can't teach you anything.

No one could teach you to dance
in a million years.

Take my advice and save your money.

Miss Carrol, how do you think this school
can exist if you turn away applicants?

- You're discharged.
- But, Mr. -

Get your things and go.

- But I -
- Get out.

- But -
- That's all right. Don't you worry.

I'll find you another instructress
right away. You stay right there.

So this is the way you treat
your customers.

Well, I certainly don't treat them
to sandwiches.

Get out of here.

Miss Anderson,
what is the meaning of this?

What's gotten into everybody this morning?

My sandwich got into him.

You're fired.

Okay, swivel puss.

It might interest you to know
that I've also discharged Miss Carrol.

You've discharged Penny? Why?

Oh, why, for no reason at all.
Please see her.

But she said she couldn't
teach you anything.

She was just trying to flatter me.

Yes. She's the most wonderful
little teacher I've ever heard of.

Miss Carrol, I want to show Mr. Gordon
how much you've just taught me.

- No, never mind.
- Thank you very much.

- That's sweet of you.
- Please.

I'm anxious for Mr. Gordon to see this.
It's a most interesting experiment.

Now, how did you say that last step went?

Oh, yes.

Shall we try it right through?

Won't you sit down, Mr. Gordon?

Wait!

Sheer heaven, my dears. Sheer heaven.

Is she still fired?

Fired? But you took me too seriously,
both of you.

Now, just you wait there for one moment.

Hey, he got herjob back for her.
Wasn't that swell?

What one man can do, another man can.
Come on.

All right, Al. Thank you, Al.

I've just made an appointment for you
for a tryout with Mr. Simpson,

the owner of the Silver Sandal.

The Silver Sandal?

- That's wonderful, isn't it?
- It certainly is.

Penny, you wear your white lamé gown.

That's how I see you, mm-hmm.

You in white, and Mr. Garnett here
in dinner clothes.

Dinner clothes?

Yes, certainly.

You'll do it? You'll be there?

Now, do you think I could disappoint you?
I'll be there.

You're still fired.

Pop, you can pay the cab.

Huh?

Have you got change for $10?

I have.

Thanks.

Here you are, buddy. You keep that.

Now, I don't want you to worry
about losing your job.

- I'll take care of you.
- Yes, but I'll take care of my own $10.

Wouldn't you like to double it?

Sure, I love to gamble
if I'm sure I'm going to win.

The trouble is you lose sometimes.

No, we always win.

Why didn't you say that
in the first place?

Well, that's fine then.
I'll telephone you when I'm ready.

- All right.
- Where do you live?

Um... right here.

Since when?

Since from now on.

Say, how am I going to get
a dinner jacket for tonight?

Don't worry about that.

Look. I borrowed this from Mabel.

You're marvelous.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

I want to get a suite for myself
and Mr. Cardetti, please.

- Something at about...
- Just about...

Yes, that's about enough.

Doctor, would you mind rushing down
to the docks

to see if our trunks have passed
through the customs yet?

Just a moment.
You may need my verification.

[whistling]

- What size chest?
- Chest?

Chest? You mean that little chest.

- The one in the hold?
- Yeah.

Oh. That chest is 36 inches.

- Thirty-six. Thirty-six.
- Yes.

How long do you intend to stay with us?

That'll be entirely up to you.

[door opens]

Did you get a dinner jacket?

No, I went broke trying to win enough
to buy you one.

- What am I going to do?
- Don't worry.

I got you the swellest-looking outfit
you ever saw in your life.

- Where is it?
- It looks like a perfect 36.

I want you to meet my old friend, Eric...
What's your name again?

My name is Eric Lacanistram.

I met Eric in the gambling house.
He lost all his money too.

[laughs] I lost all my money too.

- Eric just loves to gamble.
- Oh, really?

It's in the Lacanistrams' blood.

Yeah. He'll play you for his necktie
or his shirt or anything he's got on.

Well, well.
I'll toss you for the whole outfit.

No, I'm off pitch and toss.

The Lacanistrams' game is piquet.

Has been for years and years and years
before the conquest.

And then, after the conquest,
for years and years and years.

In fact, we've been playing piquet

for years and years and years.

But I don't know piquet.

Don't worry. I do.

Oh, yes, Al. Yes. All right, goodbye.

If we're not at the Silver Sandal
in ten minutes, the whole tryout's off.

But 20 minutes ago,
Lucky said he'd be here in five minutes.

He's been saying that for the past hour.
I'm going to get him.

Yes, I wish you would. I feel like a fool.
But a fool.

But you are.

Twenty-four, 25, 26, and 27.

And that's piquet, Mr. Garnett.

Pop, you certainly did show me
how to play piquet.

You're doing fine.

Fine? This fellow will have my skin
in a minute.

[knocking]

Come in.

Penny.

Listen. Penny, look.

Penny. Let me explain.
The clothes that I had before, I had to -

When you're talking to a lady,
you should take your hat off.

Come on, Penny.

Your petticoat's showing.

Keep up the good work, boys.
The public is with you.

Mabel, will you get down from there
and stop being ridiculous?

Maybe you're the one
that's being ridiculous.

For a whole week,
you've been sulking at him

for something you know wasn't his fault.

I suppose it was my fault.

It's your fault you're missing the tryout
that Lucky arranged tonight.

He's only doing it for you.

You're not so smart
letting your stubbornness interfere

with the very thing you want.

I like being stubborn
where he's concerned.

Hmm. Must be love.

How could I fall in love
with a common gambler?

Penny, when a man takes a little quarter

and builds it into a bankroll
that would choke a horse,

and makes my little $10
grow into hundreds,

I'd call him an uncommon gambler.

Okay, 0K8)'-

Come in, comrade.

You, shh, outside.

My card.

You're a big success.
She's willing to arbitrate.

I told you it would work.

Mabel, will you tell that fellow
to get out of the hall

and stop annoying me?

Oh, no. Come here. You sit down.

You just hold your ground.

Penny.

Yes?

- Hello.
-[door slams]

- Penny.
- You better get out of here.

All right, I will.

However, before I go,

I just want to tell you that maybe
I was wrong the other night.

But I didn't know it at the time.

So now you know.

Yes, I do.

Goodbye.

Wait a minute.

Maybe, in a way, I might have been wrong.

Oh, no. This one is on me.

Listen, Lucky Garnett,
there's no use arguing.

- I'm not.
- Oh, yes, you are.

All right. Goodbye.

Lucky!

Wait a minute.

Lucky.

This concludes the Ricardo Romero
Romantic Melody Hour.

[applause]

I don't like that fellow.

- He's very nice.
- That?

You have no reason to dislike him.
You don't even know him.

That's true, but when I dislike someone
for no reason, I find it more enjoyable.

As a matter of fact, he's asked me
to marry him several times.

Of course you laughed. [chuckles]

Or does he make you lose your sense
of humor?

- Ricardo.
- Hello.

I want you to meet Mr. Garnett.
He's going to dance with me tonight.

- How do you do?
- You know,

I played that last number
especially for you.

Thank you.

Now I know him,
and I still don't like him.

Beautiful, isn't it?

What is?

The music.

What music?

The music they're playing.

Oh, yeah.

What made you think of it?

Think of what?

The music.

I don't know.
My mind was wandering, I guess.

Are you as scared as I am?

Don't be nervous.
It's only a dance we have to do.

It's nothing to worry about.

That's right. Don't worry at all, my dear,

because you're not going to dance.

Because there isn't going to be any music.

But, Ricky, you promised.

I promised you could dance
anytime you want, alone.

- I'll dance with Lucky, or not at all.
- That's what I said too. Not at all.

Good night.

Come on. We'll see about that.

- Mr. Simpson.
- Hello, Garnett.

Will you please tell Romero
he has to play for our dance?

Well, I'm sorry, but I can't.

Romero's played his last tune for me.

- But you said that -
- I know I did.

But I lost his contract last night
playing cards.

He's now the property of Dice Raymond.

Hmm.

Orchestras usually play for somebody.

This is the first time I ever heard
of anybody playing for an orchestra.

- I guess there's nothing we can do.
- Wait a minute.

Do you think we could interest Raymond
in another game for that contract?

Mmm, I doubt it.

He's always wanted Romero's band
for his club...

but he's a gambler.

Where is this Raymond's place?

[elevator operator]
Thirty-sixth floor, Club Raymond.

[chattering]

Thirty-six.

- Hello, Raymond.
- Hello, Ricardo.

Looks like a big night.

Where Ricardo Romero goes,
the others come.

[band playing]

Here goes everything on the red.

Will you excuse me for a second?
I think I need a bit of fresh air.

- I can't stand the strain.
- Wait a second.

[croupier]
Twenty-seven, red, and third dozen.

This is no strain.

Oh, please. Don't be angry.

I want to talk to you.

I don't want to talk to you.

I'm awfully sorry if I hurt you, but I...

I didn't want to see anyone else
dance with you.

It makes me jealous.

- Jealous?
- Mm-hmm.

Because...

I love you.

You have a very funny way of showing it.

On the red.

Have a look at this new fellow.
He's taking me, and fast.

Say, if that hits for you,
you'll have just exactly enough.

Enough for what?

Why, enough to go back and marry Margaret.

What? Hey, wait a minute. No bet.

[croupier]
Seven. The red wins, and the first dozen.

[chuckles] Pop, you're a pal.

In fact, you're more than a pal.
You're a partner.

I'm going to cash in.

So you won enough.
You're going to leave us.

Yes. Winning more money
doesn't interest me.

Boy, you like to gamble.

I'll cut you once, double or nothing.

No, thanks.

Scared?

You have a contract with Romero,
haven't you?

I'll tell you what I will do.

All my winnings against his contract.

Oh, no. I win the orchestra,
I keep the orchestra.

Scared?

You're on.

I'll high-card you.

Tony, bring a fresh deck.

Hmm. Keeps them on the ice.

You're covered.

Shuffle?

Cut.

After you.

King of spades.

Wait a minute. Let me, will you?

Sure, let the old boy cut.

Ace of spades.

Excuse me, boys, I got to go
and get a double sundae.

Maybe we play for this orchestra
again someday.

Thank you, Mr. Raymond.

Pop, cash in for me, will you?

Okay. Give us dough for these, will you?

- Maybe we can have that dance after all.
- How?

Look, I just won Romero's contract. Ha.

- That's a nice orchestra you have there.
- Just about the best.

The leader is just about the same
as the orchestra.

That's awfully nice of you to say that.

I wonder if you'd be kind enough to play
something for Miss Carrol and myself,

-if you don't mind.
- But I do.

Oh. Well, I'm afraid you'll have to,
because, you see, I now own you.

What do you mean you own me?

He just won you at the gambling tables.

Oh, I see.

Congratulations on winning
such a valuable piece of property.

- Thank you.
-[chuckles]

Now will you play your waltz for us?

Oh, no, no, no.
If you read the contract carefully,

you'll see I don't have to play
after this hour unless I want to.

- Oh.
- Yes.

- So, you won't play?
- You're right. I won't play... for you.

I see.

That's all, boys.

[cymbal crashes]

Ladies and gentlemen,

my favorite maestro, Mr. Ricardo Romero,
has very kindly requested

that Miss Carrol and I dance
to his newest composition,

the lovely "Waltz in Swing Time."

- Hey, wait a minute. I didn't say -
- Look. He wants to be coaxed.

-[audience applauding]
-[laughing]

What's the matter, Ricky, old boy?
You bashful?

My pal.
This is a moment I've been waiting for.

But, no...

[orchestra playing]

[Playing ends]

- Wait. Where are you going?
- I'm going in and get Pop.

I'm get him. I mean, I'll do it for you.
Sit still.

What's the matter with Lucky?

He seems to have something on his mind.

You mean something else besides you?

Well, I don't know.
I only get to see him at rehearsals,

or with you and Pop,

or when somebody else is around.

Don't you worry, darling. I'm going to see
that you get a break this afternoon.

Say, whose idea was this anyway,
going to the country on a day like this?

Well, it was Mabel's,
but she's made it mine.

Listen, you've got to do me a favor.

No matter where we go or what we do,
don't leave me alone with Penny.

What's the matter?
You're in love with her?

[scoffs] You wouldn't pin me down
with a question like that, would you?

Oh, I see.

That's fine. Why don't you tell her?

Well, she's too sweet a kid.

And besides that,

I can't go on like this without her
knowing something about Margaret,

and, well, I just haven't got the nerve
to come out and tell her, that's all.

Well, you don't have to go
back to Margaret

unless you get $25,000.

Yeah, I know.

So, you haven't got it.

So, you don't have to go back.

Yes, but it's more than money.

I'm in a fine spot.

- I'm going to take care of this.
- Pop, no.

- You better lay off gambling for a while.
- Yeah, but I don't want to lay off.

[blows]

- Hello, Lucky.
- Hello, Mr. Simpson.

I was looking for you.
Have you seen the improvements?

- No.
- The decorators are working day and night.

When we get through, the Silver Sandal
should be the finest place in this town.

Oh, good.

With you and Penny dancing
to Romero's music,

we're going to clean up.

Yes, but I'm not sure I can stick around.

Oh, yes, you can.

But you must. Look, if you're not
satisfied with the terms,

I'll make you a half partner.

I'll give you 50%.

That should make you about $30,000
for the season.

My advice is to take 25%
and be on the safe side.

Let me see. Twenty-five percent,
that would give me $15,000.

You're right.

- Not over 25%.
- Huh?

- Is it a deal?
- Sure.

All right.

Hey, Pop.

Remember what I told you
about not leaving me alone with, you know.

Okay-

Would you say he was crazy, or am I?

I wouldn't say.

What's the name of this place
we're going to?

The New Amsterdam. I used to go there
in the summer as a kid before the war.

Which war?

Well, if this is the New Amsterdam,
I'd hate to see the old one.

Gee, I hope there are no wild animals
around here.

[shivers] I'm cold.

I think maybe we ought
to go home now, huh?

No.

Edwin, you come with me.

I want to show you where
we used to fish through the ice.

I thought you said you only came here
in the summertime.

I'll show you where
we didn't used to fish through the ice.

Lucky.

Lucky.

I think they want to be alone.

I don't know what for.

Oh, it's lovely, isn't it?

Come on in.

It's a bit drafty, don't you think?

Well, we seem to be here, don't we?

Uh, let's sit down.

- Won't you be too cold?
- Oh, no.

[sighs]

I like being off alone like this.

You're not alone. You're with me.

Then I like being off alone with you.

I am a little cold.

Well... flap your arms.
That will restore circulation.

Look.

Makes me feel warmer already.

I doubt it.

Come on, try it.

It's good for you. You see?

You know, if some people saw us like this,

they might think that we were...
that we liked each other.

Yes, they might.

It's funny how we met,

and all that's happened to us since.

The way we've been sort of...
thrown together and everything.

As if it were all meant to happen.

It's quite an experience.

It's more than an experience.

It's sort of like a romance, isn't it?

Yes. As we say 'm French,
Ia belle romance.

A swell romance.

Lucky!

Ah-ah. Ah.

You know,
you ought to be wearing galoshes.

I think we'd better go home.

- No, disappointed.

Don't be that way. You're too nice.

You're nice too, sometimes.

Only sometimes?

There are times when I can't make you out.
When you're so... aloof.

So I'm aloof, am I?

Yoo-hoo. Come on and play.

Hmm. He wants to play.

Mm-hmm. I see.

Well, of course. [chuckles]

Hey-

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?
I'm the one that got the snow in the face.

You know something?

Snow tastes just as bad as water.

Will you please try to square me
with Mabel?

- What about?
- About making Lucky stop gambling.

She's sore at me.

All right, I'll try and fix it.

You see, she doesn't understand
the real reason.

Now, you try to explain to her

that if Lucky gets $25,000 ahead,
he has to go back and marry that girl.

- What girl?
- The girl he's engaged to.

- You see -
- Pop.Pop.

Look, I've decided
to throw all restraint aside.

- Don't bother me anymore.
- Huh?

Okay-

Now, where were we
when Pop interrupted us?

As I remember it,
you had just called me aloof.

No, it was a laugh.

Seems to me I was just going to do
something about it too. Oh, yes, I know.

[orchestra playing]

This is Ricardo Romero
bringing you lovely music

from the starlit heavens
of the new Silver Sandal cafe

on the gala night of our grand reopening.

Everybody's here.

- My, it certainly is beautiful, isn't it?
- Yeah.

You know, Edwin,
we mustn't let these kids break up.

Their future depends on it.

[chuckles] And so does mine.

And once we O'Neils have tasted
diamonds and furs, we never forget.

I can't get over
Lucky giving me this bracelet.

Imagine me with a real diamond bracelet.

[clears throat] You know, Pop... Oh.

Well, the old slitch.

Oh, now, listen, girlie.

Don't worry about me.
I often talk to myself.

I'm my own grandmother, and I have
to keep the old girl interested.

[blows raspberry]

That's very lovely, Ricardo.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't.

Please. It would make me so happy.

Hello.

I was just asking Penny how...

how can I keep my mind on the music
if she dresses like that.

You'll have to get used to it.

That's part of my plan.

[sighs]

You know,
sometimes I should be left alone.

Always.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Where's Lucky?

[sighs] How should I know?

Oh. He doesn't interest you, eh?

No, he doesn't.

Hardly at all.

I suppose it doesn't interest you to know
he was supposed to go back

and marry that girl
as soon as he got $25,000.

Well, why doesn't he go back?

Because he doesn't want to
and you know it.

He's given up gambling.

It looks as if he's trying hard
to go back to her, doesn't it?

Well, what am I supposed to do?

Why don't you go up
and give him a great big kiss?

Don't be silly.

I wouldn't do that,

even if I wanted to.

You mean you haven't got the nerve.

I've got nerve.

But not enough.

Yes, I have.

Hmm, not enough for that.

I've got enough nerve to do anything.

You know...

I think you have.

Well, I know I have.

- Well.
- Well.

Why don't you go ahead and do it?

- Well...
- You do and I'll stand on my head.

All right.

I will.

[Lucky] Come in.

[stammers] How do you like my dress?

Why, it's nice.

You like it?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

Wait a minute.

I think it's wonderful.

- The skirt's nice.
- Yeah.

- The sleeves are nice.
- It's a cape.

The cape is nice.

The back is nice.

And your hair is nice.

And you...

Oh...

Lucky.

[breathing heavily]

Hello.

[both] Hello.

Lucky, you're on next.

Am I?

It's nice. [chuckles]

-[giggles] You like it?
- I certainly do.

Thanks. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I beg your pardon,
have you seen Mr. John Garnett?

- You mean Lucky?
- I mean John.

No, I haven't. Either one of them.

[chuckles]

Hello, fellows.

All right.

You don't want to...

No.

Clever, huh?

- Well, well, well. Sit down.
-[all laughing]

- Have a drink. Make yourself at home.
- Do enjoy yourself.

Well, so you do card tricks?

Sure. That's my speciality.

I used to make my living
doing this, actually.

Lucky.

John?

I don't know where he is.

I'll just wait for him.

All right.

Just make yourself comfortable.

There she is.

Yeah. I don't know where it is, do I?

No, you could not.

Can that boy shuffle?

Ace of spades.

[door opens]

Outside, sister.

Come on.

Well, thanks, fellows.

Where's Penny? I've got to see her.

- In her room.
- Oh.

You're staying here.

Perhaps I won't.
What's on your mind, Dice?

I come to play you
for the orchestra again.

- Oh, no, you didn't.
- Oh, yes, I did.

When we high-carded,
I thought the game was on the level.

Well, it was.

What about this guy?

Seems like he knows
a good deal about handling cards.

- Listen, Dice, that game was on the level.
- No, it wasn't, Lucky.

He pulled a cold deck on you,
and I palmed the ace of spades on him.

It was a nice, friendly little game,
wasn't it?

Okay, Dice.

- We'll use my deck.
- And I'll shuffle.

Lucky, don't be a sucker.

Ten of diamonds.

King of clubs.

Okay. Simpson, give him the contract.

Come over anytime
and listen to Romero, free.

John, where have you been?
I've been looking for you.

I wanted to tell you
how wonderful you were.

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks, Margaret.

I'm glad to see you.

Lucky, we'd better get ready
if we're going to do the dance.

Well, there isn't going to be any dance.

There isn't going to be any dance?

Lucky lost the orchestra back to Raymond.

We're finished.

Lost the orchestra?

But, Lucky, you said you weren't going
to gamble anymore.

You promised.

Oh, what'd you let him do it for?

You told me he wasn't going
to gamble anymore

-because he'd have to go back -
-[Lucky] Penny, please.

- This is Miss Watson, my fiancée.
- How do you do?

Hello.

Well, why don't you laugh?

[sniffles] It's all so very funny.

I don't see anything funny.

I do.

- John, dear, I-
- Margaret, look,

I've got so many things to straighten out.

Do you mind if I call you
at your hotel tomorrow?

Why, no, of course not.

- Good night.
- Good night, Margaret.

Well, Lucky, please don't feel bad.

You still got me.

Of course, I ain't a young
and pretty girl. [chuckles]

I ain't even a girl, but I'll stick.

I'll never leave you.

- Penny.
- Oh, hello.

You can be the first one
to congratulate us.

I'd like to talk to Penny, please.

All right, if you want to,
but it won't do you any good.

Ricky, please.

All right. I'll be waiting for you
in the car.

Yes?

I'm sorry, Penny.

I'm sorry too.

I've been trying
to figure this thing out -

Well, it's all decided now.

For always?

Yes.

I'm going to marry Ricky when he takes
the band to Bermuda in the spring.

I'm sorry I lost my temper a while ago.

- You had every right to.
- Oh, no, I hadn't.

No right at all.

Well, I thought you had.

Goodbye.

Penny.

Oh, never mind.

I just want to wish you good luck
and... all that.

And all what?

Whatever you want.

Does she dance very beautifully?

Who?

The girl you're in love with.

Yes. Very.

The girl you're engaged to.

The girl you're going to marry.

I don't know.

I've danced with you.

I'm never going to dance again.

Oh. Hello, John...

dean

Hello, Margaret.

I... I didn't expect you.

Please come in.

Uh... won't you sit down?

Thank you.

I'm so glad you've come, John.

I've been so worried.

Margaret, there's something
I must tell you.

Oh...

You poor boy.

John, I don't want to add to your worries,

but I've got to tell you that -

No, please, let me first.

You see...

No, I don't know how to say it.

John, read this note.

It explains everything.

I'm going back home tonight, and then...

No, don't read it till after I've gone.

But you can't go
until you know how I feel.

I know how you feel, but my feelings -

- Margaret!
- I'm sorry.

Do you mean this?

Yes, John. I can't marry you.

- You don't love me?
- No.

I'm sorry.

Gee, that's swell!

Swell?

I mean, uh, who are you going to marry?

It's in there.

- Charlie Shaw.
- Yes.

Well, what do you think of that?
We used to call him Goofy Shaw.

- Yeah.
- Well, he isn't goofy anymore.

No, of course not,
now that he's going to marry you.

You see, John, I've known him
so much longer than I've known you.

Yes. Why didn't you tell me last night?

I wanted to,
but when I finally got to you,

you seemed to be in a lot of trouble.

- I was.
- Well, I didn't want to add to it.

Well, you wouldn't have.
You were the trouble.

- I?
- Yes.

You see,
I'm in love with that girl you saw.

You mean that goofy girl?

Yeah. No! She's not goofy.

- What do you mean she's -
- Was she angry at you because of me?

- Yes. isn't that marvelous? [laughing]
-[laughing]

- Now what are you laughing at?
- I don't know.

Come on. Let us in on the joke.

- Well, we've just -
- Thrown each other over.

Yes.

You know, I know just how you feel.

I've been divorced
a couple of times myself.

I'm glad you're taking it so good, Lucky.

I can take it, Pop.

Because I've got to tell you

that Penny and Romero
are getting married this afternoon.

- What?
- Yes, laugh that one off.

[chuckling]

Now do you think you can tell me?

No. [chuckling]

How did he look when you told him
I was getting married?

- Did his face fall?
- Kind of.

I stopped looking when his chin
passed his arches.

They were laughing so hard
that all I heard them say

was that she had broken her engagement
with him.

Stop talking about him...
when you know I'm going to marry Ricky.

L's sorry, gentlemen,
but it's just like I told you.

Mr. Romero ain't seeing nobody today.

He is getting married.

Oh, he's getting married.

Oh, is he?

Well, of course,
he couldn't see anybody today.

Well, I should say not.
The idea is the most ridiculous thing.

- That's what I always say.

- Hello, Ricky.
- Hello.

-[both chuckling]
- Oh. [chuckles]

[chuckling continues]

Hello, Lucky. Or perhaps you should
call me lucky today, huh?

Excuse me, boss,
here's your baggage checks.

All your clothes are on the boat.

[Ricky sighs] Oh, it's going to be
such a wonderful wedding.

Raymond has been very nice
and turned over the entire place to us.

My own orchestra is going to be there
and play.

I made a special arrangement
of the "Wedding March" myself.

We have a group of specially selected
guests to attend the wedding.

[Lucky snickers]

[laughing]

[laughing continues]

What are you laughing at?

- Those trousers.
- Yeah!

What's wrong with them?

Why, no cuffs.

[chattering]

- Lucky, what are you doing here?
-[chuckling] You see, I...

- You just came to laugh at my wedding.
- No.

I'm laughing because there isn't
going to be any wedding.

Yes, there is.

Oh, no, there isn't.

You wait here.

Look!

Oh.

There you are.

Where are my pants?

Well, what about the wedding?

There isn't going to be any wedding.

You see...

Oh. Then you're going to marry him.

Yes, I guess so.

Well...
