Original subtitles

Good evening.

There seems to have been a bit of an uprising here by a group that is long on

principle and short on marksmanship.

If you're disturbed by what they did to the wall, just imagine what they did to

my shirt and my tie.

It's completely ruined.

The leader of the firing squad used to do this at parties, using a pair of

scissors. It is comforting to know he has not lost his sense of humor.

Tonight's narrative is called Final Performance, although whose performance

I shall let you discover for yourselves. It begins in one minute.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, get in.

Good. Oh, it's cool in here.

How come it's so cool?

Air conditioning.

Oh.

Look, I want to warn you, I'm having some trouble with my car.

I just hope I make it.

Where are you going, just Rollins?

No, I'm going to Los Angeles.

Hollywood.

You're going to Hollywood?

Hey, listen, that's where I'm going. Ain't that funny?

What is all this stuff? You moving or something?

Yeah, I'm moving to Hollywood.

Um, oh.

You in the movies or what?

No, I, uh, I write for the movies.

Oh.

Hey, listen, um, would you mind driving me all the way? I mean, that's where I

really want to go.

I mean, if you don't mind my company.

Well, it's still a good trip. I'll probably have to, uh...

To stop.

Oh, that's all right. I can sleep anywhere. What do you say?

About what?

About taking me to Hollywood.

Oh, you will, won't you?

Yeah.

Hey, what's your name?

Cliff.

Like Fall of a Cliff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Fall of a Cliff.

Well, I'm Rosie.

Hi. Hi.

Hey, say, listen, um, if you do take me to Hollywood...

Maybe you can introduce me to some of them big stars, huh?

Get out.

Come on, get out of there.

Turn around, put your hands up on the car.

Hey, now, look.

Don't give me no hard time.

Just do as I say.

Okay.

Let me see your license.

Now, look, Sheriff, I think you've made a mistake. If you'll just be quiet a

minute, I'll tell you what all you've done wrong.

Number one, come through our town back there at better than 30 miles an hour.

Speed limit's 15.

That's 15 miles an hour right there.

Number two, you come through trailing enough blue smoke to contaminate the

whole state of Wyoming.

Number three, I've got you in real serious trouble, Mr.

Allen. Picking up that young girl there.

I'll make off with her.

You know, wait a minute. Not five minutes ago. She flagged me down. I just

gave her a lift. Yeah.

She begged me for a ride. I'm going to Hollywood. She begged me for a ride to

Hollywood. Ask her.

Go ahead. Ask her.

All right. I will.

Rosie, what you doing in there?

I was just out walking, and, uh, that man, he, um, he drove his

car up and he got out, and he made me get in.

He made me get in his car.

Hey, what's the matter with you? Why don't you tell him what happened? That's

enough.

Now, Rosie, you come on out of there and go up and get in my car, you hear?

Yes, sir, you in serious trouble.

Now, you just get in your car, follow me back to town.

Look, Sheriff, I didn't touch that girl, and I was not speeding.

There's number four, Mr. Allen.

That's resist arrest.

I sure hope you carry lots of money, young man.

I'm having some trouble with my car.

That's where I'm starting, huh?

Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll take Rosie home back where she belongs, then I'll send a tow truck

after you. Now, when you get into town, you can stop by my office.

Just look for the car.

And you remember, young fella, I've got your driver's license.

You get right to work on it. I'm in a hurry. I know, you told me.

Stop around tomorrow.

I wonder if you could help me?

What do you want?

Who do I see about a room?

Me.

The car break down?

Yeah, how'd you know that's the only reason anybody stays here unless the

sheriff holds them up for speeding Now I just left the guy from the gas station

went yeah He's doing me a big favor. He's a towing my car in for $35 $35 just

for towing Well,

can I have a room sure where you going

Los Angeles.

What's your name?

Cliff Allen.

Any relation to Fred?

Fred? Allen. Fred Allen.

No. Allen's a pretty common name.

I knew Fred Allen. I was on the same bill with him for five weeks in Philly.

Then again in Baltimore.

Oh. What, you performed or what?

Rudolph the Great.

You ever hear of him?

Rudolph the Great.

No, I can't remember.

Well, you do look a little young.

You ever seen any vaudeville?

Well, as a kid.

You must have seen me.

Sign here.

Uh-huh. You got cash for the room?

How much?

Three dollars with a sink.

You want a sink?

Yeah, it's fine.

Rosie, how'd you like to show Mr.

Allen up to the Al Jolson?

I got all the cabins named after stars.

You're in the Al Jolson.

Would you rather be in the WC field?

I don't care.

I got it all cleaned up. Clean sheets, towels.

There's a sink in there.

I dusted the other day.

Well, here.

Mr. Allen, Rosie. I suppose he'll take you to the cabin.

Oh, thank you.

What are you doing here? Shh!

I'll explain everything inside.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry about what I did, but I had to.

Had to do what?

Why don't you just tell the sheriff the truth?

Maybe it's not the truth.

Oh, it is. I do want to go to Hollywood, but if the sheriff knew that, he'd tell

Rudolph and I'd never get out of here.

Rudolph?

He doesn't want me to go anywhere.

Oh, well, that's wonderful.

What if the sheriff tells him that lie of yours?

You can't stay here.

I wouldn't if I were you. I have no choice.

Well, hitch a ride into Rollins, sleep in a field, anything.

What are you doing here anyway? If you work for him, why don't you just quit?

What are you, his daughter or something?

Well, it's... He looks after me.

But he... Rosie, you don't give me any reasons. You just... Rosie!

Do like I say here.

Rosie!

Rosie!

You come on back here.

No. Come on back here now.

No, you're going to hit me. I ain't going to hit you.

I ain't going to touch you.

What took you so long?

See, I ain't going to touch you.

Please don't hurt me. Oh, stop that. I ain't hurting you.

What were you doing up here? Talking to that man?

He's going to hear you. I don't care if he does. All you had to do was show him

the cabin. Come right back.

It was dusty. I had to dust. Oh, you had to dust. I ought to dust you. That's

what I ought to do.

You want that young fella to have a quiet rest here, you keep away from him.

You and your truck drivers and your town kids.

You got your eye out for all of them.

Got you all fixed up.

Yeah.

Yeah, everything's fine. Care for something to drink?

Something cold.

We got good root beer here.

Fine.

Ah, you do look kind of young.

But I thought you might remember Rudolph the Great.

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

Maybe I did see you.

Maybe I can refresh your memory.

Come with me.

Bring your drink along.

Come on.

Quite a collection. Yeah.

That's a long story.

I come through here with a traveling fare about ten years ago. It closed

down, and here I was, me and Maggie and Rosie.

Maggie and Rosie?

Yeah, Maggie was my wife.

She was the other half of the act.

You see, Rosie's folks died in the Hartford fire.

You remember that.

And for a while, we all kind of took care of Rosie.

and then county fair closed down i got a job here cooking and then i took over

maggie died the first year that was the end of the team

that rosie and i stayed on and she's a big girl now we're

we're gonna get bookings as an act as an act yeah you know another team we got a

lot of routines we're working on you ought to see them Well, they're not as

good as my old act used to be yet, but they're gonna be.

You're a juggler.

No, no, no, that's just kid stuff.

Listen, I was next to closing 43 times. That's no juggler's spot.

I had my specialty.

I'll show it to you sometime.

But I can't just show it to anybody, you understand?

Oh, sure, sure.

Hey, did you see this one?

That's me and Will Rogers.

I got one of Flo Ziegfeld here somewhere.

Maybe you saw me in the Follies. You'd remember me.

I don't think so. The last vaudeville I saw was in New Jersey. New Jersey? I

played New Jersey. Clark and McCullough was on the bill with me. Bobby Clark.

I got a good notice there.

Maybe you'd like to see it. Rudolph the Great.

No, no, you don't want to see it. No, I'd like to. Well, maybe later.

Maybe later.

New Jersey.

Well, come on. Sit down.

You're going to Hollywood, huh?

I'll bet you're in the movies. No, I just write. I write for television.

Television? Yeah?

What do you write?

Well, I write for a series. You know, it's on every week.

It's about the Navy. The Navy?

Yeah.

Harry Lauder. I love to be a sailor, a sailor, a sailor.

You must remember Harry Lauder.

Hey, you know what?

We're going to have a great time here, you and me. You know that?

You're the first person to come through here in a long while that remembers the

old days.

I got a lot to show you.

Did you ever hear Casey at the back? Rudolph?

Uh, Charlie's here. He wants to know how much milk we need. Oh, all right, Rosie.

Hey, hey, come here. Come here.

There's Mr. Allen here.

He's a writer. Come here.

Yeah, he's very special.

He's one of us. Yeah, show business. We're all in the same big family, aren't

we? And Mr. Allen...

I want you to know my Rosie is very talented.

Well, that's nice. Not only is she talented, she's pretty too, isn't she?

Yes, she is. Yeah, Mr. Allen, I want to tell you something else.

I want you to treat Rosie very special.

Because a week from today, Rosie's going to be 18.

And the day after she's 18, we're going to be married.

Rosie's going to be my bride.

Mr. Allen?

Yes? Mr. Allen, could you come here a minute?

You're just the man I want to see.

I'd like to ask you some advice.

How do you like that?

Well, it's very pretty.

It's Maggie's. It was Maggie's wedding dress.

And now it's going to be Rosie's.

Well, that's nice.

Do you think it's all right for a man to have his second wife married in his

first wife's wedding dress?

Well, I suppose it would be up to the bride.

Well, I think it's a good idea, especially since they knew each other so

well. They're a lot alike in many ways.

I think it's a good idea.

Don't you?

It's your wedding?

Yeah.

Now, Mr. Allen, let me ask you something.

Suppose you were a married man.

Let's say, instead of being a writer, you worked in a store, see? And your

wife worked in there, too, wouldn't you?

See? And every man that came into that store kept looking at your wife.

Would you have any objections to that?

I don't know. If she was really attractive, I'd expect them to look at

her. I'd be flattered.

Oh, you would, would you?

Well, I suppose she starts going out with each other.

I don't know.

It would depend on the circumstances.

I might forgive her.

Once.

It could be grounds for divorce.

Uh-huh.

Well, don't you think she deserves some kind of punishment?

I'm afraid I really don't know what you're talking about.

I'm talking about punishment.

If your wife couldn't keep from making eyes at these other men.

What has this got to do with the wedding dress? It's got a lot to do with the

wedding dress, Mr. Allen. A lot.

When she wore this dress, Maggie promised to love, honor, and obey.

Right? Hmm?

Right! Yes, yes, right.

And that doesn't mean when the dress is changed that the vows are off, too, does

it?

Right?

Right. Right.

You're in show business, Mr. Allen. You know what I'm talking about.

Opportunity comes at the strangest time, so you wait.

And you wait, and you practice, and you're ready for it. You don't run

around like a chicken with its head off just to satisfy some anxious woman. No.

You wait.

You work.

In a diner, like this even, if necessary.

And you get ready for it.

And if you can't wait, if you can't sit still, you can't stop playing around

with other men, you don't deserve what you got, do you?

Well, do you?

Well, no.

No, sir.

No, sir, Mr. Allen.

Because if you don't appreciate what you got, you don't deserve any of it. I

tried to tell that to Maggie.

I tried to tell her.

Oh, let's go to Hollywood. Let's get back on the circuit, she said.

You ain't got any contacts anymore anyway, she says.

She just couldn't wait until I was ready.

Ah, too bad for her.

Because I got my Rosie now.

She's gonna wait.

She's gonna wear this dress.

She's gonna love on her and obey.

Isn't she, Mr. Allen?

I'm sure she is.

Yeah, my Rosie's very pretty, isn't she?

Well? Yeah, you think she's pretty, don't you? Yes, yes, I do. How pretty?

Well, it's a little hard to describe. I'd say she's very pretty. Pretty enough

for you?

Yes, yes, pretty enough.

And spoken for, too.

Well, it's always a way, isn't it, Mr. Allen?

I'm sure I wouldn't know.

Would you want any more advice?

I'm glad you like the dress.

Maybe you ought to see my specialty act.

I'd like to get some work done.

All right, all right. We'll put it off till you got time.

But you gotta have a look at it so you can say... You saw Rudolph the Great.

Yeah, you might want to tell your kids about it sometime.

You're planning to have kids, aren't you?

I guess so.

So am I.

Good afternoon.

How you doing, honey?

It's a little tight.

Let me help you.

Don't I look a little funny on me?

Oh, no.

It looks beautiful on you, honey.

You wait till all the boys see you in that. You're gonna be a big hit.

You think so?

Yeah. Rudolph, uh...

You think we're going to get to Hollywood so they can see me for the

movies? I don't see why not.

You said you were going to take me to Hollywood.

And you said you were going to introduce me to them big stars.

Yeah, I will. I will, like I promised.

You know what?

Jack Benny and me are old buddies.

All I have to do is call him on the phone.

He'll do a lot for you.

Let's call him now. Oh, honey, now you know I can't call him from here.

But I'll do better than that. When we get to Hollywood, I'll take you right

out to the studio to meet him.

And George Burns, too.

He's an old pal.

He'll get you on television.

Well, you said last year we were going to go, and then this summer. Oh, Rosie,

honey.

You're so pretty in that new costume.

Yeah, you know, that's just for your big number.

Well, we, we, we ain't left here once.

We don't even get to go to Rollins. I'm gonna make you a big star. I know just

the people that do it.

I'd like to see a movie in Rollins.

Oh, Rosie, you're such a pretty thing, you know that?

And next week you're gonna be my bride.

You'll be prettier than you are now.

All the guys will look at you just like you were on a stage.

They'll say, look at that girl.

Ain't that Rudolph a lucky guy?

He sure got himself some girl.

Rudolph. What, honey? What?

Rudolph.

Oh!

Yeah, come in.

I don't look very pretty.

You look fine, Rosie.

Do you want something?

Well, I wanted to talk to you.

I wanted to explain about everything, and I wanted to apologize.

What's the matter?

I thought I heard something.

Rosie, what do you want?

Well, I... I just want you to help me, that's all. You can see how it is, how

Rudolph wants to marry me.

That's why I want to go to Hollywood. And when the sheriff came, I had to tell

that lie so he wouldn't tell on me.

You are going to Hollywood, really, aren't you? Mm-hmm.

If I ever get out of this town.

Well, you just got to take me with you.

Rosie, I'm very sorry, but I really think this is none of my business. Now,

I've gotten myself into enough trouble for one day.

It's against the law for me to take you anywhere.

The law says that if Rudolph promises to take me to Hollywood, he's supposed to

take me. And Rudolph isn't going to go anyplace.

And the law says that if I get married, then I'm never going to get out of here.

Cliff, am I pretty?

Well, I mean, forgetting what I got on.

Yes, yes, I'd say you were pretty.

Would you like to marry me?

Rosie, I... Well, if you was like Rudolph, and if you'd known me a longer

time, then would you like to marry me?

If I knew you, and I liked... I loved what I knew,

yes, I might like to marry you.

Well, um... Yes?

Well, if you took me to Hollywood...

Well, you could get to know me. Rosie.

Well, you said I was pretty. Rosie.

Come here.

Now, look, I want to apologize to you. I do.

Now, maybe it was my fault in the first place for stopping for you.

And maybe because of that, I have some kind of an obligation. But I just can't

do any more.

You've got to understand that.

Is that something you're working on for Hollywood?

Mm-hmm.

Where are you going? Oh, it's Rudolph. I gotta go.

One, two, three, kick.

Back. Two, three, kick forward. Two, three, four, back.

And kick.

and tip your hat. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Kick back.

Three, kick.

Turn around and tip your hat and turn back and take your bow.

All right, all right.

You're getting it.

Yeah, you're getting it.

You're gonna be fine.

This thing's a little tight. Oh, never mind about that.

But one thing, honey.

Don't be always looking at me.

Give him that big smile.

Well, hello there, Mr. Allen.

Welcome to our theater.

We got our own little orphan here, haven't we?

Yes, it's very nice.

Don't let me bother you. No, you're just in time.

We're gonna do our comedy pattern.

I thought maybe I'd get to see your specialty act.

Well, maybe, maybe.

Maybe I could do a little... No!

I don't want to do it when I'm so out of practice.

But I'll work on it for you.

I promise. You'll see it.

But now you watch Rudolph the Great and Rosie.

We've been working on this.

You ready?

Rudolph the Great and Rosie.

Take it away.

Hey there, Rosie. What you got there?

I've got a case.

Yeah? Where are you going?

I'm taking my case to court.

Hey,

now there, Rosie. Where are you going with that thing?

I'm taking my case to higher court.

Then we do a little ti-tum-ti-tum and a tum-ti-tum and a wow.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We've got some more, but right now we're going to take a little break.

Oh, I was just looking around.

Yeah, Mr. Allen, I built this all myself.

We give shows for the town people in here. People come from miles around.

You like our little number?

Yeah, yeah, it was fun.

Now, Mr. Allen, if I was you, I'd wash myself.

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

The sheriff was talking to me earlier tonight.

Yeah, told me a lot of interesting things about you.

About picking Rosie up on the highway and all that.

We straightened all that out. I was just trying to help her. That's all right,

Mr. Allen. I understand.

Rosie's a mighty pretty girl.

I figure a young fellow like you thinks an old trooper like me can't handle it

right. I understand.

Now, Mr. Allen, you and I ought to be pretty good friends. We both got show

business in our blood.

And you're going to get your car fixed and get right on out of here to

Hollywood, aren't you?

I hope so.

Yeah, Mr. Allen, Rosie and I appreciate you being here.

We'd like you to feel right at home. So anytime you feel like talking, you come

around to me. We'll talk anytime.

There's this one thing, Mr. Allen.

You keep away from Rosie.

Yeah?

Mr.

Davis?

Mr. Davis!

Mr. Davis!

Hey, what's with my car? It's just sitting there.

I've been waiting for the parts to arrive from Rollins.

You better get yourself fixed up at Rudolph's and come back in about two

days. Two days?

Monday, if you're lucky. I cannot sit around this town for two days.

Well, there's plenty to keep you busy here.

Will Bullerton's going to show his home movies over at the schoolhouse.

How about Rudolph?

I'm sure he can entertain you.

Mr. Davis, you know Rudolph pretty well, don't you?

Oh, sure.

Everybody knows him.

Did anything unusual ever happen up at his place?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, I'm not too sure I do either.

Why are you talking about it, then? I was just wondering about Rudolph. He's a

very interesting character. I wondered...

Um, how well you knew him?

I never heard a man talking around in circles the way you do.

Is that the way they talk in New York?

Oh, hello there, Mr. Allen.

Can I have a cup of coffee? Sure.

I've been meaning to ask you something.

What's that?

Well, since you've got to stay out here a couple of days more, I was thinking

maybe you'd do me a favor.

Oh?

Well, you write for television and all that.

I thought maybe you could write something for me and Rosie.

Some new patter to work into the routine, you know.

Well, I'm not really a comedy writer. Well, I'm not really a comedy performer,

but you gotta be versatile.

Why don't you do your specialty?

Oh, I will, I will.

And I'll show it to you like I promised.

But I gotta have some new material for Rosie and me.

Well, you could write something, couldn't you?

I don't think so. I just don't write comedy.

I'll pay for it. I'll pay you well.

No, I'm sorry, Rudolph. I just can't.

If I was some young star out in Hollywood, you could do it, couldn't

you?

Look, that has nothing to... You could do it. But you think maybe I wouldn't be

able to put that kind of stuff across?

Listen, if it wasn't for my versatility, I'd be dead.

My best friend, Louie Boynton, he's got this one routine, this one exact same

routine. He does it on the circuit for 15 years. 15 years he does this routine.

He makes a good living out of it.

He even goes on television and does the same routine and it wows him.

But that is it.

That is the end of the routine. That is curtains for Louie.

Everybody's seen his act. No more jobs.

Well, you're going to find a routine like that every day. Times have changed.

What does that mean, times have changed?

Does that mean you're too good for me?

Yeah, you young kids are too good for us. We taught you.

We taught you everything you know about show business.

Now you kids get behind a television camera and times have changed.

Instead of building up a routine for years and years.

You gotta have a hundred bright young kids turning out stuff for another

hundred bright young kids to say. You gotta have a man that stands up with a

sign that says laugh or applaud, cheer, whatever you want. Now let me tell you,

I still got what I had when I played the circuits, and it works.

It still works.

I got my Rosie. I got my pretty little Rosie.

And I got my specialty act.

And that's what made Rudolph great.

So you go ahead and sell your stuff to some young fool out in Hollywood.

Rudolph. Go ahead.

Rudolph. Go ahead!

Rosie, what are you doing here?

Rudolph said you're leaving.

Oh, what am I going to do?

I'm going to be married next week and you're going to be in Hollywood.

You've got to take me with you. Rosie, I told you.

Look, you shouldn't come here.

It makes Rudolph mad. He just doesn't understand. He likes you very much. He

doesn't understand it when you talk to other men.

Well, if he doesn't understand me and if you do, well, why can't I be with you?

It's not that simple. Oh, it is. It is that simple, Cliff. It is. It's that

simple.

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid every time I'm near him.

Don't you understand?

I suppose so.

Then please, help me.

Rosie!

Rosie! Rosie!

Time for rehearsal.

you today, Sheriff.

What'll it be?

Uh, something cold.

Soda, root beer?

No, root beer's fine.

Mr. Davis, I was wondering when I could get my car.

You want it tonight?

Yes. Got the cash?

Well, I phoned the studio. They should be wiring me some money.

When it comes, you'll bring it to me.

I ain't going no place.

I'd like to have it by tonight.

Good, huh?

You got the money for the traffic tickets?

Oh, yeah. How much was that?

Thirty-five dollars.

Ten, twenty, thirty, one, two, three, four, five.

Okay. Here's your license.

Thank you.

Uh, do I get a receipt?

No, I don't give no receipts.

Rudolph, you best give me a piece of that peach pie there, will you?

I give receipts.

Got any more of that stuff?

Nothing now.

Well, Carl will be ready tonight, even if you ain't.

Why don't you two take his root bearer out of there too, Rudy?

Rosie's not working today?

I heard you rehearsing last night. Yeah?

Rosie don't feel too good.

She's been working too hard.

Working on that routine.

She's sick.

In bed.

Rosie? Rosie?

What's the matter?

Rosie, you all right?

Why don't you answer me?

I thought you were Rudolph. What are you doing with this dress on?

I'm going to get married.

Rudolph gave it to me and he told me to put it on and leave it on.

Rosie.

Rosie, I'm going to take you with me.

You are?

Yes.

Oh, Cliff!

All right.

Now,

now listen.

I want you to listen to me. I want you to listen carefully.

I'm going to get my card. It's going to be tricky, but I think I can do it.

Now, can you meet me someplace?

I'll meet you anywhere. I'll meet you any time. I'll go right now. No, no, no,

no, no, no. Tonight.

Yes, I'll pick up my card. I'll meet you.

I'll meet you at 8 o'clock right here. All right?

Yes.

Oh, I won't bring very much. I'll just bring a couple of pretty dresses. All

right. All right.

All right.

All right, now.

Get out of the dress. Okay.

And stay in the diner. I will.

I'll see you tonight.

All right.

It's okay.

Eight o'clock.

Rosie. Looking for someone?

Uh, I was just... Looking for Rosie.

Yeah, well, I wanted to say goodbye to her before I left.

Mr. Allen, I know about your meeting. Rosie told me.

She told you? She also told me to tell you she's awful sorry, but she ain't

meeting you tonight.

Why, what's the matter?

Where is she?

She's down at the barn rehearsing.

She told me to say goodbye to you for her.

Well, I said it.

Didn't I?

Rudolph.

I don't know what's going on here, but I'd like to see Rosie before I leave.

I'd like her to tell me all of this.

I told you. I know what you told me.

I'm not so sure I believe you.

I think you'd better go.

I think I'd better see Rosie.

All right. If you insist, follow me.

You know, I'm awful sorry about all this, Mr. Allen.

You know, Rosie gets this way sometimes.

She reads all her movie magazines.

She gets all those foolish notions in her head.

She starts telling silly things to people.

Some young fella like you comes along and believes them.

That's a shame.

It's embarrassing.

Sometimes, you know.

Rosie, someone here to talk to you. Rosie, I'll speak to her.

You wait here.

Now, Rosie, you've done a terrible thing.

I want you to tell Mr.

Allen the truth. I want the real truth, Rosie.

You don't have to be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

Cliff, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you.

Rosie, I've come to take you away.

Now.

Just because Rudolph's here, you don't have to retreat.

Come on, it's all right.

I can't. I love Rudolph. I really do.

You've hypnotized her.

No, mister, you're wrong.

Rosie, tell Mr. Allen how wrong he is.

He's telling the truth.

I love Rudolph.

Rosie, you couldn't have told me all that.

You begged me.

Rosie, what are you?

I'm asking you for the last time. I'm leaving. Now, if you meant what you

said, if you want me to help you, come with me.

I'll protect you.

Cliff, I don't want to come.

Really. I belong here.

You do understand.

I don't understand.

Goodbye, Rosie.

Rosie You

did it honey,

I did it for you, you know that I know

You've given me so much, and I want to give to you and love you and be a good

wife. I will be, won't I, Rudolph?

Yes, my love.

Is that my goodnight kiss, Rudolph?

Yes, my love.

Ventriloquism was of no avail to Rudolph.

when he faced a judge several months later.

He is now talking to himself in one of our larger prisons.

I've run out of time, although there seems to be some left for others.

One of these is the sponsor, who is about to give his final performance for

this week.
