All language subtitles for 365 Nights in Hollywood (Marshall, 1935).SDH

Come on, Jimmy.

Come on with me.

I'm behind in my sleep.

Come on, I got a job for you.

Job?

Mister, it's awful tough tolaugh on an empty stomach.

No, I'm serious.

Don't you know who I am?

Certainly, you're Jimmy Dale.

That's right.

The ex-Boy Wonder.

Local boy who made goodand then fell on his face.

Job?

There isn't a studio
in town that would

even let me sweep the floor.

I got a proposition for you.

What is it?

Well, let's grab somethingto eat and then I'll tell you.

Come on.

All right now, let's
try the entire scene

from the very beginning.

And this time, put
some feeling in it.

All right.

Let's go.

STUDENTS ALL TOGETHER"Believe me,

Lady Gwendolyn, you are moredear to me than life itself.

No, no.

Here, Mr. Maselli.

Please take her in your arms,
really take her in your arms.

Don't act as though she
were a red hot stove

and you are afraid
of being burned.

That's better.

Here.

Here now, you can do
better without that.

Relax.

Now, I'm going to takeyou one couple at a time.

The rest of you
sit down and watch.

Come on.

You get up here, Mr.
Maselli, right on stage.

Take it from the beginning.

Believe me, Lady
Gwendolyn, you are more

dear to me than life itself.

[giggling]

What's funny about it?

I can't help it.

When I'm tickled, I
always have to laugh.

Well, you paid yourmoney to learn how to act,

not to be tickled.

Now if you want to learn,
you've got to be more serious.

Try it over again.

Believe me...

Let her go for now.

Study your lines andwe'll try it again later.

Oh, Mr. Dale, I think
that's the cutest scene.

I just know I'm going to
be the best one in it.

Yes.

You were very cute in it too.

You were swell.

Miss Jessop and Mr. Beeper.

Just like that.

My, my I wouldn't believe it.

Now, don't move.

Why, this little darling
has one of the most

remarkable personalities
I've ever encountered.

Really?

The resemblance is
positively amazing.

Resemblance?

She looks exactly
like Shirley Temple.

Young lady!

No, don't reprove
the little thing.

That's temperament.

Oh.

Pardon me.

Am I intruding?

Adrian, my dear fellow.

Of course not.

Come in.

Mrs. Lipke, may I presentAdrian Almont, the famous actor.

Mrs. Lipke.

Oh, Mr. Almont.

Think of my meeting you.

I enjoyed your last
picture so much.

You're very kind.

I'm always glad to meet
one of my admirers.

Mr. Almont is one of the mostfamous graduates of our school.

Yes, indeed.

If you'll just sign
this, Mrs. Lipke.

Just sign here.

We're very, very
proud of Mr. Almont.

And do you pay by check?

No, I brought the money with me.

That's all right.

The money will do.

See our Mr. Dale at
10:00 tomorrow morning.

Thanks very much.

Thank you very much.

Come, Lorraine.

So pleased to have
met you, Mr. Almont.

Goodbye, Mrs. Lipke.

Goodbye.

Fresh little brat.

What a racket.

Better than working for a living.

Well, I know you're
not here for pleasure.

How much?

I can get by with 100.

There's a slight error
in your statement.

You can get by with 50.

Look here, Joe, when Iagreed to let you use my name

to help sell your
school to the suckers,

you agreed to pay for it.

A lot of them
wouldn't even sign up

if I didn't let you tell them
I was one of your graduates.

You hurt me when
you talk like that.

I've been very generous with you.

Yes, but I've been betweenpictures for over a month now.

I've got my position to keep up.

Don't forget who I am.

Honestly, old boy, I'mdoing the best I can for you.

I'll show you how
much you've received

from me in the last month.

[singing]

Will you shut up back there?

A guy can't hear himself think.

Will you leave me alone?

[singing]

Oh!

Help!

Help!

Ah!

That's the fourth time
today you've done that.

You think I've got nothingelse to do but pick you up?

Get up, you dummy.

Get up.

Wait a minute.

Get back to the truck andtry to stand on your feet.

This is the place, lady.

Get the lady's bags.

I can take them.

He'll bring them.

Hey.

Customers.

If I'm a nice boy, do
I get that other 50?

You're not a nice boy whenyou keep asking me for money.

[knocking]

Come in.

My advice to you is
not to accept one

penny less than $2,500 a week.

And in the billing, your name must

be larger than that of anyother member of the cast.

Oh, how do you do?

What can I do for you?

I read your advertisementin a movie magazine

and I'd like to
enroll in your school.

Splendid, splendid.

We'll be happy to have
you as a pupil, Miss...

Alice Perkins from Peoria.

Ah, Peoria.

Charming city.

I know it well.

I had an aunt who
used to live there.

Dear old Aunt Hannah.

Now, are these relatives?

Oh, no.

They were kind enough
to give me a lift.

Oh I see.

Please be seated.

Now, Miss Perkins, providedwe accept you as a pupil...

Oh I do hope you'll take me.

Well, we'll see, we'll see.

There are certain necessaryqualifications, you know.

We're very particular here.

We don't accept everyone.

But I'll work awfully hard.

Don't you think I have a chance?

Yes, I believe you have.

Oh, uh, pardon me.

May I present one
of our most famous

graduates, Mr. Adrian Almont.

No doubt you've heard of him.

Oh, of course.

I love your pictures.

You're very kind.

Miss Perkins, with
your youth and beauty,

provided you have
that necessary spark,

which I believe you have, thereis no reason why you cannot

become a very great star.

What do you say, Adrian?

No doubt about it.

Now if you'll just step overto my desk here, Miss Perkins.

I lay my heart at your feet.

No, feet.

Feet.

It's 3:30, Mr. Dale.

All right.

All right folks,
that's all for today.

Tomorrow I'll give you
a lesson in make up.

Don't forget to study your parts.

Goodbye.

Come on, kiddies.

Come on.

Goodbye.

91, 120.

Thank you.

And now you must
come and meet some

of the members of my staff.

James Dale, the famous director.

You know of him, of course.

Oh, yes.

And also Professor
Herman Ellenbogun,

our musical director,
whom I imported

from the University of Leipzig.

Guess they ain't showing
nothing to outsiders.

Yeah.

Ah, that's fine.

Miss Perkins, allow meto present Mr. James Dale.

How do you do?

Miss Perkins has
enrolled in our Academy.

And her instruction is
to start immediately.

I want you to mold andpolish the talents and charm

which I know she possesses.

Certainly.

Would you sit down
for a few moments?

Step right over
here, Miss Perkins.

Well, how are you doing, big shot?

I'm not kicking.

If you lose your
job here, look me up.

I might be able to get
you some extra work.

Herman, the first time Imet him I said to myself,

there's a fellow when you firstmeet him, you don't like him.

But after you get to
know him, you hate him.

But I'm still up
there and you're not.

That's the answer.

I'm glad you've kept
your temper, Jimmy.

You wouldn't want to
lower yourself to fight

with a fellow like that.

If you know how to
control yourself,

you can control anybody.

Here's what I mean.

Take this Clark Gable guy.

He's got what I got.

Oh!

Will you get out of here?

What are you doing up there?

Oh, just looking at the guy.

Well, get down.

Leave me alone, will you?

I'm looking at [inaudible].

Come on.

Get down.

[arguing]

Take it easy, will you?

Hey!

What's the meaning of this?

He... uh... I...

Get out.

Really, it was an accident.

We want to join up with you.

We'll pay you anything you want.

Call an officer.

What's that you say?

We want you to learn us.

Won't you give us
a chance, please?

Well uh, my enrollment isfull, but then I'll take you in.

Oh, thanks Mr. Belmont.

And if you ever need any
ice, we'll fix you up.

All right, boys.

You start tomorrow.

You know, you've
got a Gable in me.

And I can make faces
as funny as Carlos.

That's fine.

That's fine, boys.

See you tomorrow, with the money.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Can you imagine that big
ape wanting to be Gable?

My Imagination isn't that good.

Believe me, Lady Gwendolyn.

You're more dear to
me than life itself.

Oh, Abaloto, I feel I
can never be your bride.

Oh...

For the fifth time, will youtry and put some feeling in it?

Don't read it as though you'rereciting a high school piece.

You're a woman, see,
with a heart, I hope.

You are in love with this fella,
and you want to marry him,

but you're afraid you can't.

Now does the thought penetrate?

I'm afraid I can't.

I've never done anything
like this before.

Oh, Let's try something different.

Now one of the most importantthings to an actress

is a graceful carriage.

She's got to know how to walk.

Dancing will help you get there.

Can you dance?

A little.

All right, go ahead and show me.

Herman, play a number.

Just another one of
those things, Herman.

Look here, Mr.
Dale, I didn't come

here to be told how bad I was.

I came here to learn
how to be good.

That's what I paid my money for.

You didn't pay me
any money, so I'm

going to tell you what I thinkwhether you like it or not.

My advice to you is
to go back to Peoria,

get married, learn tocook, and raise a family.

Wait a minute.

I'm awfully sorry.

I really didn't mean to sayall those things to you,

but I've had a hard day and
I guess I'm a little tired.

Oh, that's all right, Mr. Dale.

Here.

Now please don't worry.

You're going to get along fine.

Do you really think
I have a chance?

Chance?

Why I've seen thousands of girlscome in here just like you,

excepting you have more in oneminute than they'll ever have.

Forget it.

Now come on.

I'll walk along with you.

I'm going to get my bag.

I'll get it.

Find a place to stay yet?

No.

You know of any place
that's nice and cheap?

Where I live is all right,
clean, comfortable rooming

house.

It's 112 Whiskey Drive.

Miss Perkins, can
I give you a lift?

Why, uh...

Beats walking.

Thanks.

Put the bags in the
back in the back, Dale.

[singing]

Come on now, once again, and yip!

That's swell.

Now everybody be seated.

Now, the next number on
Mrs. Carey's Sunday Night Frolic

will be my imitation of...

Psst, psst.

Pardon me just a minute.

What do you want?

Oh, listen, Clarence,
why don't you call me?

This beard is starting to itch me.

Will you wait until
I announce you?

Yeah, but I'm missing allthe fun standing out here.

You wouldn't play Dr. Jekyll.

You wanted to play Mr. Hyde.

Well, go on and hide.

Think they'll know me?

[hissing]

Your own mother wouldn't know you.

Be quiet, will you?

Next will be my imitation of Clark

Gable giving an
imitation of Rudy Vallee

impersonating Bing Crosby.

[SINGING] When the
blue of the night

meets the gold of theday someone waits for me.

And the gold overhead and theblue of her eyes dee, dee, dee,

dee.

Dee, dee, dee, dee.

Dee, dee, dee, dee,
doo, dum, dee, dee do.

If only I could...

Harris, that's enough of that.

But I didn't finish yet.

Oh, yes, you have.

[laughter]

Take it out back.

Give us something here.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

The next number will be
a song by Alica Perkins.

Cheers.

Get over there.

It's all yours, Alice.

I'm going to give you myimpression of Jean Harlow.

[hissing]

Oh, hello, Percy.

How did you know me?

Intuition.

Oh, does it show?

[SINGING] Give him
love that will hmmm.

With a kiss that will hmmmm.

Hold him close to you...

Who's that?

[hissing]

Mr. Hyde.

No, I mean singing.

Oh, that's just Alice.

[SINGING] And the
thrill that will hmmm.

Close your drowsy eyes
drift to paradise.

Give him love and
you'll hold your man.

[applause]

I didn't know you could sing.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you ask me?

Well, I guess I
never thought of it.

I'm so used to you girls wantingto be Garbos and Hepburns,

I thought you were
just another one.

You sing pretty good.

Thanks.

But you gotta learn
how to put a song over.

That's more than half
the secret of singing.

That's what I came
to Hollywood to learn.

Well, you got a great break.

I'm going to show
you how to do it.

Come on out here
where we can talk.

For the next number,
I want to give you

my imitation of my imitation.

Now, Clarence, no more flip-flops.

Oh, no.

No more flip-flops.

[hissing]

Percy!

Will you look at Percy.

I'm not Percy, I'm Mr. Hyde.

Oh, Percy, you're the cutest thing

for words. oh, do that again.

Didn't I tell you to
wait till I called you?

I couldn't wait all night.

Come on, get in there.

Get in there.

Oh!

Oh!

Somebody get me out of here!

Oh, my head!

Grab his legs.

You pull when I push.

Look out for the banister.

Look out for the banister.

It's a funny thing
but you and I are

practically in the same spot.

We're both at the bottom ofthe ladder, trying to climb up.

The only difference is I climbedup once and then fell down.

How did that ever happen?

You used to be a big director.

That's a long story.

I like long stories.

Well, I just couldn't
stand prosperity.

I stood all the other
things, being broke

and hungry and out of work.

But when I had success in mylap and money in my hands,

I changed.

I thought I was bigger
than the industry

that gave me my chance.

I suppose that happens to afellow in any line of business

where fame and money
come too quickly.

But you think that you'remore important than you are.

You spend more
money than you earn.

And you high hat friends whohelped you when you were down.

I can't believe you would do that.

You don't know the half of it.

I might have licked
all that in time.

But there was one guy
couldn't couldn't lick.

Old John Barleycorn.

He never pulls his punches.

He finally knocked me out,
out of a job, out of money,

out of friends, and rightout of the picture business.

But you can come back.

Yeah, I can come backif I make a good picture,

but nobody will let me make one.

Do you believe in hunches?

Everyone does, more or less.

Well I've got a hunch you'regoing to direct another picture

and it's going to be good.

You're a sweet kid.

But let's skip me for awhile and talk about you.

How's your new job going?

Oh, it's all right.

At least it'll do until Iget a chance in pictures.

I wonder if I ever will.

You've got just as good
a chance as anybody else

if you don't let the
disappointments break

your heart.

And there'll be plenty of them.

I won't let them break my heart.

If I get the opportunity,
I'll make good.

I know I will.

Good girl.

And I'll help you all I can.

Thanks.

Speaking of jobs, 6:00 in themorning comes awfully early.

Yeah, it does sort ofsneak up on you, doesn't it?

Good night.

Good night.

See you tomorrow.

Say Toots, how's about youand I going for a little ride

tonight?

There's going to be
a beautiful moon.

Didn't you order onions
in your hamburger?

Sure, why?

Well, the moon won't help you any.

[horn honking repeatedly]

Yes, sir.

Now listen very carefully and I'll

tell you what I want I want... no, that wouldn't be any good.

Well, bring it to me anywayand no coffee in the cream.

But you haven't told
me what you wanted yet.

I just told you.

You're not paying any attention.

Now, I want a
chocolate pecan sundae,

with some strawberries,
a little pineapple,

some peaches, a little cherryon the top and no mayonnaise.

Yes, sir.

Have you any watermelon?

Yes, sir.

I want watermelon.

And a bag of popcorn.

Cancel that order.

Hi there.

Hi yourself.

Here I am again.

So I see.

What are you going to have today?

Give me a chocolate
egg malt, a bowl

of chili, piece of cherrypie with whipped cream on it.

We have no medical service.

Hee, hee.

That's a good one.

Medical plan for me.

Would you think I was awfulfresh if I asked you something?

Yes, but go ahead.

Well, I'm a stranger here.

You know, this is my
first trip to Hollywood.

Won't you take a drive withme and sort of show me around?

Listen, mister, what would youthink of a girl that went out

with every man that asked her?

Well, I'm not every man
and you're not any girl.

This is kind of special with me.

Then try our special hamburger.

Oh, no fooling.

What are you going to
do when you get through?

Well, if you must know,
I'm going to school.

School?

What kind of school?

Dramatic school.

Is that so?

Well let me drive you there.

All right.

Good enough for me.

Thanks for the lift.

Well, when am I going
to see you again?

I'm at the drive-in
stand every day.

I don't mean that.

Come out with me for dinner.

Not tonight.

Maybe some other time.

Oh, shucks.

I'll carry your bag in for you.

All right.

Mm, mm, I smell money.

Yeah, that car is just hungall over with ten dollar bills.

Your girlfriend's doing
all right, isn't she?

Well, thanks a lot.

Well, well, Miss Perkins, gladto see that you're punctual.

How are you, Mister...

Frank Young from
Twin Bluffs, Utah.

Twin Bluffs, a lovely little city.

I know it well.

I'm Jay Walter Delmar, DirectorGeneral at this academy.

Delmar?

That was my mother's maiden name.

You don't tell me.

Well, I've got to leave you.

Thanks again for the lift.

But Miss Perkins.

We must talk
further, Mr. Young.

Come right into my office.

She's a clever young lady.

She'll go a long way.

I think she's swell.

Let me present AdrianAlmont, the famous films star.

I'm certainly glad
to meet you, sir.

I've seen lots of your pictures.

You're very kind.

Right over here and
have a chair, Mr. Young.

Never to busy to talk to visitors

from a neighboring state.

No, sir.

Did I understand you to say thatyour mother's name was Delmar?

Yes, sir.

Where was she from?

Pineapple, Alabama.

Wow.

What a coincidence.

My family came from Alabama too.

Is that so?

We must be kinfolk, my boy.

What part of Alabama did yourfolks come from, Mr. Delmar?

Why, uh...

It must have been thenorthern part of the state,

because my mother's folks
were the only Delmars

from the south.

That's correct, northern
part of the state.

Well, well, to think
that we're related.

I take it you're here on business?

Well no, it's sort
of a vacation for me.

You see, Uncle
Jethro died out here

and I came out to get
his estate settled.

Ah, yes, Uncle Jethro, very sad.

Very sad.

Not so sad for me.

He left me $75,000.

$75,000?

Yes.

Let me congratulate you.

Also let me give you
a word of advice.

Be very careful how
you invest that money.

This town is overrun with men who

would swindle you out of it.

Oh, Lady Gwendolyn.

You're more dear to
me than life itself.

Will you say it?

No.

Listen, Mr. Dale, I don'twant to be the woman anymore.

Let him do it for a while.

I'm sorry there aren't
some girls for you

fellas to rehearse with.

That's all right, Mr. Dale.

He'll do it.

I love you, Maid Gwendolyn.

Ah, nix.

Well, you... Will you say
it, or I'll choke you.

All right.

Oh, I love you but Ishall never be your bride.

Oh, say that's so, fair flower.

Oh, I won't do it I tell you.

I won't do it.

Do it.

You'll do it.

You'll do it.

I love you, Lady Gwendolyn.

Hello, am I late?

Hello, boys.

Hello, Miss Alice.

That'll be all for today, boys.

But Mr. Dale, you were
going to teach us...

Get out, get out.

Well, for a girl who's
fresh from Peoria,

you're traveling pretty fast.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean, firstAlmont, and then that fella

you drove up with.

I suppose he promised to
put you in pictures too.

Please don't talk that way.

I hardly know him.

Well, that makes it all the worse.

You're starting out wrong, see?

And I wouldn't be a friendunless I told you about it.

I don't know what you think
I am, but I'll have you know,

I can take care of myself.

Well, see that you do.

I never heard of such a thing,
just because you're jealous.

Jealous?

Me?

Listen, sister, youdon't mean a thing to me.

I told you I'd help you andthat's what I'm going to do.

Anything else is out.

To me, you are just a
girl who wants to be

taught how to put a song over.

And to me, you're just theman that's going to teach me.

Oh, Mr. Dale, step intothe office a moment please.

I want you to come with
me to a party tonight.

You'll meet some lovely people.

That'll be swell.

Here we are.

Mr. Dale, I want you tomeet my nephew, Frank Young.

How are you, Mr. Dale?

How do you do?

Now I've often heard you saythat you have a pet story you'd

like to produce, is that right?

Yeah.

What is the title of your story?

365 Nights in Hollywood.

And what is the verylowest figure, the minimum,

mind you, for which you
could make that story?

Could it be done for $75,000?

Yes just about.

Just as I told you.

And Mr. Dale should
know, because he's

made pictures that
have cost $1 million

and that have brought
millions back.

Is that so?

Now Jimmy, you are going
to make that picture.

What?

Yes.

My nephew, Mr. Young, alsoa very shrewd businessman,

I might add, wants to
be a picture producer.

We're going to let
him put up the money.

You're going to direct it.

I will contribute my
executive experience.

And Mr. Almost
has agreed to play

the lead, whichincidentally as you know,

ensures the sale of the picture.

What was it you said
I was going to be?

Supervisor, head man
in charge of everything.

Well, then if I'm
going to be the head

man, the superintendent, Iwant Miss Perkins to play

the... what do you call it?

The girl in this picture.

I'm sure Mr. Dale will
accede to your wishes,

is that right Mr. Dale?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, then let's call
her and tell her.

She just left.

Oh, shucks.

Oh, I'll catch up
with her and tell her.

Wait a minute, Frank.

You're going to a
cocktail party with me.

We should be leaving now.

Oh, I forgot.

Well, goodbye, Mr. Dale.

Goodbye.

Oh, uh, I'll be in
tomorrow with the money.

There's no hurry.

Tomorrow will do.

Take good care of him, Adrian.

OK.

Goodnight Uncle Walter.

Good night, my boy.

Just what is this all about?

This is our chance to makea little legitimate money.

That big mining man from Utahwants to produce a picture.

He gives us $75,000.

We spend $45,000 in makingany kind of a picture,

and the rest of the moneygoes for overhead, salaries,

and so forth.

The and so forth I suppose,
means you and me and Almont.

Exactly.

About $10,000 apiece.

And what will the
district attorney say?

My dear boy, you aren't
suggesting that I would

do anything that was illegal.

No.

Nothing you can get caught at.

Everything would be
strictly within the law.

You'll be in charge of
the entire production,

and the handling of the money.

It will be deposited in
the bank in your name.

The worst you might be accusedof would be extravagance.

And you always did spend alot of money on your pictures.

I get it.

And uh, you will cooperate?

I'll make him a picture.

Good boy.

I knew you would.

Come around first
thing in the morning

and give the boys
some of the details.

Well, good night.

Good night.

Well, fellas, that's how it is.

We're going to try and make thepicture on a short bankroll.

I can't pay the kind of
money you fellows get,

but it would help me
an awful lot if I could

get a couple songs from you.

I know you're in the money andif you don't want to do it,

why, I'll understand.

You can count on me, Jimmy.

You can pay me
anything you want to.

Me too.

I got a couple of
lyrics you can have.

You helped us get a startand we'll help you now.

Jimmy, you can depend on mefor any dance routines you want.

That's the kind of
a little guy I am.

Ah, that's great of you, fellows.

Save the bouquet, listen tothis tune, see how you like it.

[playing piano and humming]

Say, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Let me get the girl overhere who's going to sing it,

- will you?
- Sure, go ahead.

Where's your phone?

Right in there, Jimmy.

Play that first string
over again, Dick.

Yes, I know all that.

But when we do cut up the dough?

Now, don't be impatient, Adrian.

We'll have to wait until Jimmy is

well underway with the picture.

That will make it look
better to the sucker.

I mean, to Mr.
Young, the producer.

Say, there isn't any chance ofa kickback on this, is there?

No danger to us.

We are not connected with it.

Jimmy Dale is the
man who's legally

responsible for everything.

I get it.

You've fixed it so if
you are out from under

and he has to take the rap.

Your language is
very crude, Adrian,

but I see that you understand.

There my heart wants to go to you.

Each time you call me darling, I'm

up and jumping right through.

I'd love to say yes to you.

You know all the words now?

I think so.

Well, let's try it right through.

What's your high note?

I don't know.

I'd say C, maybe B flat.

Don't you think?

Possibly A major.

Yeah.

What key do you sing in?

I don't know that either.

She does sing, doesn't she?

Try it in F, Dick.

[SINGING] How I'd
love to say yes to you.

All my love to confess to you.

Sorry.

Let's try it again.

This time, put a
little life in it.

Give a little push.

How I'd love to say yes,

No, no, you're notputting anything into it.

Oh, Jimmy, let's call it a day.

We've been at this for hours.

When I get it right, I'll quit.

Now look, honey, when you singthe first line, sock it a bit.

Oh, I'd love to say yes to you.

Now, go ahead.

Dick.

How I'd love to say yes...

No, no. no.

Can't you get it
through your head?

Sing it as though the
lyrics meant something.

Oh I guess I'm a little tired.

Well, do you think it'sbeen any pleasure for me,

sweating around here
for hours trying

to teach a number to a dumb...

I don't think you should beso harsh with Miss Perkins.

After all, she's an artist.

Then you rehearse her.

What Mr. Dale means is thatwhen you say, yes, you got it,

you got to say yes, you know, yes!

Now listen, I don't careanything about your feelings.

You're just a voice.

All I want from you is one thing.

I want this song the bestway it can possibly be sung.

Now if you don't
want to do it and you

don't want to work on it thenyou better go back to Peoria.

- I will.
- Come here.

If you've going to work
for me, you better get

used to this kind of treatment.

I'm only doing this because Ithink you have something in you

and I'm trying to drag it out!

Mr. Dale, don't you think...

No!

Now, come on.

Do the chorus again.

Dick.

[SINGING] How I'd
love to say yes...

No!

Can't you remember
anything I tell you?

Yes, I remember!

Then why don't you do it?

All right.

Now come on.

Do from the beginning.

[SINGING] Here we standwithin reach of happiness.

You and I, both passing it by.

Is it only because wecan't express what we feel?

It's hard to conceal.

How I'd love to yes to you.

All my love to confess to you.

My intuition seems to tellme that fate has opened

the gate so why should I wait?

Will I start to say no to you?

Then my heart seems to go to you.

Each time you call me darling I'm

up and jumping right through.

I'd love to say yes to you.

How I'd love to say yes to you.

All my love to confess to you.

My intuition seems to tellme that fate has opened

the gate so why should I wait?

Will I start to say no to you?

My heart seems to go to you.

Each time you call me darling, I'm

up and jumping right through.

I'd love to say yes to you.

To you, my dear.

I'd love to say yes to you.

How I'd love to say yes to you.

All my love to confess to you.

My intuition seems to tell methat fate has opened the gate.

So why should I have to wait?

When I start to say no to you.

Then my heart wants to go to you.

Each time you call
me, darling, I'm

up and jumping right through.

I'd like to say yes to you.

Ach I'd love to say yah to you.

All my love to confess mit you.

My intuition seems to tell methat fate has opened the gate.

So, why should I
wait, big boy, huh?

All the time, call
me China Dollie,

I up and jumping like new.

I likee say yes to you.

[speaking chinese]

I was wrong to say no to you.

How I long to just go to you.

Now when I call you, darling.

I'm up and jumping right through.

I want to say yes to you.

Dear.

I want to say yes to you.

What do you think?

Not a bad picture.

Can you get me a release for it?

I might.

I tell you what you need, onespliced production number at

the finish and it's in the bag.

I know what you mean.

And I have it.

Good.

Say, Jimmy, where'd
you get that girl?

She's a find.

Would you like to handle itor are you too big an agent

to bother with an unknown?

No.

I think I can do
something for her.

Well, we can talk
about that later.

I have to get back to the stage.

Well, let me know when
the picture's finished.

And send that girl over to see me.

Hi ya, fellas.

Oh, Mr. Dale.

We've got a great
idea for the picture.

We worked it out ourselves too.

Yes, two wrestlers,
meeting on the street.

Wrestlers?

Yeah, meeting on the street.

Watch us.

Hello, boy.

Hello, Stanislaus.

I'm glad to see
you, Stanislapousis.

Glad to see you.

See you later.

How do you like that, Mr. Dale?

All right.

I'll see if I can find
a way in the picture.

Thanks.

Boy, we're made.

Yes, sir, and when
this picture comes out,

we're going to sell
the ice business.

Wait a minute.

Why don't we keep the ice business

and just be actors on the side?

Don't be silly.

What will our public think?

Did you ever see anyone
come up to an ice wagon

and ask for an autograph?

Going to do a lot for you.

This quickie we're makingdoesn't mean a thing.

I'll put you in a real picture.

That's awfully
nice of you, Adrian.

I could be lots nicer toyou if you weren't tied up

with our friend, the director.

Why, I'm not tied up to him.

Why, I had the idea that you two

were interested in each other.

To him, I don't exist.

I'm just a voice.

Well, in that case, howabout going to dinner with me

this evening?

Oh, I'd love to.

All right, on your toes,
everybody, let's go.

All set, George?

Right.

Come on, Adrian, let's
rehearse the scene.

Why don't you stop
acting like a director.

I know what to do.

I don't need you to rehearse me.

I'll give out the scene whenyou're ready to shoot it.

Oh, won't you run it
through once for me?

Why certainly, honey.

Don't let him get
you excited, Jimmy.

He was all right till he
got his face on a couple

thousand feet of film.

Now he's going to be thesame heel he's always been.

Don't forget, you have tofinish the picture with him.

I know it.

If he wasn't
established anyway, I'd

throw him out of the studio.

He's got me over a
barrel and he knows it.

Jimmy, take a look at thisand see if it's what you want.

OK.

Well Jimmy, how's it going?

All right, except foryour most famous graduate.

Oh, hoh.

All artists are
temperamental, Jimmy.

You know that.

I can take it from artists.

I can't take it from him.

I'd like to see you for
a few minutes, Jimmy.

Here I am.

No, I mean in your office.

All right, I'll be back
in five minutes, Eddie.

Oh, Adrian.

Take it easy, folks.

Well, what's on your mind.

I want to congratulate
you, my boy.

You have made it look very good.

Mr. young can have no
possible complaint.

That's right.

And now, suppose our littlecompany declares a dividend.

I think it's time that weshould split up the money

according to our understanding.

There isn't going to be any split.

Why, Jimmy, I don't
understand you.

Well I understand him, all right.

He's crossing us.

Now get this you two
and get it straight.

Every cent that Young put up, I'm

putting into this production.

I'm going to make him thebest picture I possibly can.

Why Jimmy, I put the
money in your name.

I trusted you.

Yeah, you mean you
made me the fall guy

in case you got in any trouble.

You did it to save your own skin.

Well, this is a fine thing.

I never thought you'd be
crooked with me, Jimmy.

I wouldn't talk about peoplebeing crooked if I were you.

It's ingratitude,
base ingratitude.

I picked you out of thegutter and gave you a chance.

And what do I get?

Well, if you're lucky,
you'll get a good picture.

Then you can go around
and take bows on it.

You're a pretty
wise guy, aren't you?

You think you've got everythingset to do yourself some good.

Well, don't forget
to figure me in.

And I've got you right
where I want you.

You've been asking for
this for some time.

Now you're going to get it.

Stop it.

Don't be crazy.

I'll fix him.

Let me handle the situation.

What are you going to do?

Perhaps we can salvage something.

There must still be
some money in the bank.

You can do it better than that.

You're losing the spirit
of the whole thing.

Now, come on.

Let's do it again.

All right.

Quiet, everyone.

This is it.

Mr. Dale.

Don't bother me.

I'm trying to get this scene.

I'm afraid I'll have to
interrupt for a minute.

What is this?

I'm from the district
attorney's office.

What's on your mind?

We got a call at theoffice about this picture

and I was instructed
to look into it.

Relax, everybody.

Frank, do you know
anything about this?

Well, uh, It was Uncle
Walter that called up.

He thinks I ought to stop thepicture and get my money back.

Uncle Walter?

Well, if he's your uncle,
I'm your grandfather.

I suppose he suggested that youturn the balance of the money

over to him?

Yes, that's right.

Well, every cent that hasbeen spent on this picture

can be accounted for.

If you want to go in
the office, my assistant

will show the canceled checks.

That's fair enough.

Now, do you think I'm a crook?

Do you think I wasted your money?

Well, come on, speak up.

You've been here all the time.

You've seen all the film we shot.

And you went over every
check that was signed.

I don't think there's anythingwrong, it's just that Uncle, I

mean Mr. Delmar wanted me to...

Well, let me tell yousomething if you don't know.

Uncle Walter here is so crooked,
he has to screw his socks on.

Now you're getting a goodbreak and you don't know it.

You want to stop
the picture and lose

the money that you put in it?

- No, no!
- Well, come on then.

Let's get to work.
Eddie!

Yes.

Take this man into theoffice and show him the books.

Anything else you want to know?

Not until after I've
gone over the books.

OK.

Uncle Walter.

If there's any way at
all that I can help.

Isn't your name Delmar?

That's right, J. Walter Delmar.

Well, suppose you stop in atthe office tomorrow, will you?

Oh, very gladly.

Shall we lunch together?

No lunch.

The district attorneyjust wants to talk to you.

We've had several complaints
about your school.

Just a minute.

My dear sir...

7:00 tomorrow and be there.

Yes, sir.

And now gentlemen I uh, yes.

That's how we stand,
right up to the present.

And this is our
balance at the bank.

Think we can do it on that?

Using the same number of people?

Uh, huh.

Well, if we finish tomorrow, we'll

get in just under the wire.

And if we don't?

If you don't, you'll
have to think yourself

up another route, uh, bankroll.

Well, we'll finish
tomorrow all right.

And you'll have a
picture that will sell.

I know that, Jimmy.

I'm sorry I listened
to that Mr. Delmar,

but honestly, I thought
he was my uncle.

For that amount
of money, he'd have

been your mother and father.

Well I've got you to thank...

Oh, forget about it.

I have to beat it.

Hey, Jimmy, how about
coming over to the house

and having dinner with
me and the wife tonight?

Can't.
I have other ideas.

I get the idea.

She's a blonde and sings.

Yeah.

She's a blonde and...

[knocking]
- Hello?

- Are you decent?
- Yes.

Come in.

I think you're swell,
in the picture, I mean.

Mr. Dale, I'm about to faint.

That's the first kind word I'veheard from you in a long time.

Oh.

I guess you think I'm
pretty tough, don't you?

Oh, no.

I don't think you're tough.

I think you're very patient,
sweet, kind, and quiet.

All right.
Go ahead.

I can take it.

No, sincerely, if I make
good in this picture,

it's because of you.

That's a very sweet
speech, young lady.

I mean that one.

Which one?

The last one.

Do you think you could standmy face a little longer?

I think so.

All right then, stand
it across the dinner

table for a couple of hoursand we'll have some fun.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I promised Adrian I'd
go out with him tonight.

I wish you had asked me earlier.

I wish I had.

Well, you go ahead
and have a good time.

It'll do you good.

But get home early.

You got a big day tomorrow.

I will.

Good night.

Good night.

I'll tell you the otherpart of that one sometime.

Ooh!

Pardon me.

Are you having a good time?

Oh, it's been wonderful, but don't

you think we ought to be going?

Going?

Oh!

It's 11:15, just the
shank of the evening.

Don't forget, we
have to work tomorrow.

Oh, you might have towork tomorrow, but I don't.

Well, yes you do.

We're doing the big
number, the finish.

Nah, finish is right.

Jimmy Dale's finishbecause I won't be there.

Won't be there?

[inaudible] What
about the picture?

Who cares about the picture?

This is my chance to get even.

I'm only sorry I won't
be there to see his face

when I don't show up tomorrow.

He can call his picture
the actor's revenge.

That's a good one,
the actor's revenge.

We ought to have a
drink on that one.

Excuse me a minute.

I'll be back.

Sure.

But don't be too long, because we

got to go places and do things.

Hollywood, three, one, four, one.

May I speak to Jimmy Dale, please?

Naughty, naughty.

Mustn't call other men
when you're with Poppa.

Somebody called me.

All right.

Now, listen, sweet stuff,
I just had a grand idea.

Let's go up to my
house in the canyon.

I'll grab a clean shirt,
and we're off to Calyani.

What do you say, huh?

Oh, that's a grand idea.

Let's go.

Oh, atta girl, atta
girl, atta girl.

You want me to wait?

No, keep the change
and keep going.

Thanks.

Up we go.

Want me to carry you?

No thanks.

There isn't any.

Any what?

Telephone.

[laughing]

Did you get fooled?

No telephones.

No names on mailboxes.

Nobody knows where this place is.

What's the matter, Jimmy?

You worried about Alice?

Well, she shouldn't be outthis late when she has to work

tomorrow, especially she shouldn't

be out with that guy, Almont.

It's after 12:00 now.

Don't worry, Jimmy.

She's a good girl.

Yeah, I know.

Come on, play that
last chorus again.

Ah, come here.

Ooh, Look what you did.

I'm awful sorry.

I... Oh, it's all right.

It's all right.

Think nothing of it.

Come back here.

I'd rather not.

Oh, so you want me
to chase you, hey?

No.

Wait, I...

All right.

[crashing sound]

Adrian, Adrian

[drunken mumbling]

Boss.

Oh, Boss, I can't
locate either of them.

He didn't come home all night.

Neither did she.

Well, go out and look for them.

OK.

I might have known he'd
pull a stunt like this.

What time is it?

It's almost 10:00.

Well, if they don't
show up by noon,

I'll call it off
for today and we'll

shoot the number tomorrow.

If they don't get
the number today,

you won't be able to
shoot it tomorrow.

We've got just enoughdough to pay off everyone.

You've got to pay them fortoday whether they work or not.

That's right.

Well, Eddie, don't you think...

No.

Adrian, you've got to get up.

It's almost 10:00.

Come on.

Please.

Give me your hand.

Come on.

[drunken muttering]

Didn't I tell you not to bringmore ice to this Almont guy?

Ow!

Why don't you watch
what you're doing?

Boys!

Alice!

What are you doing here?

Aren't you working today?

It's Almont.

He tried run out on the picture.

We've got to get
him to the studio.

Where is he?

You think you can sober him up?

We'll take care of him.

You get some coffee.

Hold him.

I'll slap him awake.

Don't slap him in the face.
It will show in the picture.

Ah.

Let's get him in the shower.

Come on.

Will you get up out of there?

Come here!

I got him.

OK.

Go ahead on.

Put him in here.
Come on.

I'll get him.

I'll get him.

Come on, get him
in here, will you?

Get him in there.

Oh!

Oh!

I'm getting wet too.

Hold him up.

[knocking]

Is he all right?

He will be.

Will you get out from underthat water and put him under it?

I'm trying to.

Well, do it.

I'm trying.

You can't do any
thing right, can you?

Come here, you.

Get out of there, you dummy.

Here's the way I
want you to hold him.

So it'll do him the most good.

I get it.

I got it.

Close the curtain.

You're getting the floor all wet.

Eddy.

Yo.

Come here.

Let's call it off.

Pay your people for a
half a day and we'll

save that much anyway.

Hey boss.

Well, Mr. Director, we'rea little late, aren't we?

But that's too bad becausewe had a very hard night.

Alice and I...

Eddy, fill him full
of black coffee,

give him a shower and a rub.

But Mr. Dale, he's had fourbaths and three rubs already.

Come on.
Get him out of here.

Come on.

Now, Miss Perkins, if you'llget into your costume,

we'll go ahead with the number.

Oh, Jimmy, you must let me...

Don't make any explanations to me.

Just get dressedand get backhere as soon as possible.

Now listen, Adrian,
as long as you're here,

let's forget about our personalwar and finish the picture.

I'm going to run
through the whole number

and show you what I want.

I'll do your part.

Please pay attention.

All right, everybody.
On your feet.

Come one.
Come on, come on.

Let's go.

We're going to runthrough the entire scene,

a complete rehearsal.

Now please do it
just as though you

were doing it for the picture.

Are you ready, Miss Perkins?

Yes.

All right, folks,
let's get in our places.

Now, come on.

Let's get through this quick.

Start your music.

[SINGING] Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. D.

Tell us are we late, man?

Or do we have to wait, man?

For once you're early.

We have to shake it.

This little girl has waitedall night to make it.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You're right on time this morning.

See you took my warning.

Now don't get funny.

Good morning to you.

You're not yet in the money,
Mr. Dale will interview you.

You've got possibilities,
it's plain to see.

But what you need tosucceed, you'll find in me.

I have all facilities,
you must agree.

I'm a genius in the game.

I can bring you wealth and fame.

Honey, I'm so glad you came.

You're an eyeful of lovely looks.

I'll bet, baby, you'll gofar under my direction.

You're my future star.

Now just a picture
for movie books.

OK, baby, as you are.

Under my direction,
you're my future star.

Now, smile!

Gee, you're smart.

Sigh!

When we part.

Cry!

Oh, what art.

Stop!

You're breaking my heart.

You need romance and cozy nooks.

Step in, baby, here's the car.

Under my direction,
you're my future star.

[tarzan yell]

Come on down, big boy.

Mm.

OK, then I'll come up.

Come here.

Ah!

[TARZAN YELL

[SINGING] I need
romance and cozy nooks.

OK, baby, you're the czar.

Under your direction,
I'm your future star.

I love roses and babbling brooks.

With you honey, I'd go far.

Under your direction,
I'm your future star.

Now smile.

Mm, your smile.

Oh, should we part.

Oh, oh what art. stop!

You're breaking my heart.

You're too handsome
for ugly looks.

Just be honey as you are.

Under your direction,
I'm your future star.

All right.

Change back into your otherclothes and we'll take it.

Come here, Almont.

He thinks I'm going
to work, he's crazy.

What's the matter?

I'm not going to do it.

I'm sick and tired and I canget four doctors to prove it.

Well all you have to
do is this one number

- and then you're through.
- I'm through now.

Let's do it tomorrow.

You're going to do it right now.

[smack]

Hit him!

Film that fight!

That's right.

[cheering on jimmy]

Jimmy, control yourself.

Jimmy.

[cheering]

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.

Jimmy, give him.

Hey, he's screwing
with our picture.

Why don't you stop him?

I been waiting two
weeks for this to start.

Come on, Jim.

[cheering on jimmy]

What do you think you're doing.

I'll do it.

You're not going
to get the chance.

Now get out of here
before I tear you apart.

Jimmy, that was tremendous.

I had them film every bit of it.

What?

It's an idea I've
got about the picture.

And you don't need Almont.

What are you talking about?

Now look, you change the storyso you can show the fight, see?

And then you explain that you'veknocked out your leading man

and had to play the finalbig number yourself!

You get it?

It's a novelty.

It's different.

I can sell it like that.

Gee, that's a great idea!

Eddie, get Miss Perkins
over here right away.

The rest of you people, stand by to take the scene.

Places, everybody, places!

Freddie, bring me some make up.

Nice storm, Mr. Dale.

He sure had it
coming to him, trying

to run out on the picture.

You know if Alice hadn'thung on to him last night,

he wouldn't have shown
up at all this morning.

What?

And did she have a
tough time with him.

It's a good thing Ibrought some ice up there.

Why don't you change your clothes?

I'll change them when
I get good and ready.

Oh, is that so?

Well, I want to talk to you.

Well, I don't want to talk to you.

You wouldn't listen to mewhen I wanted to explain.

I didn't have to listen to you.

Why I knew all the time that youwouldn't stay out with Almont

unless you had a good reason.

Yes, you did.

Sure I did.

And if I thought anythingelse, I wouldn't expect

you to speak to me again.

Well, I won't.

Oh, believe me, Lady
Gwendolyn, you're more

dear to me than life itself.

I fear I can never be your bride.

We're going to change that line.

It's about time.
