All language subtitles for Double.or.Nothing.1937.DVDRip.XviD.AC3.Codres

Even though we're out
to double or nothing, darling

Still I bet my heart
this is romance

Smarty

Though I'm not quite
as smart as you

I could teach you
a thing or two

Smarty

Smarty

Don't you know
you should hold me tight?

Can't you tell when
you've met the right party?

Though you may know
every star up above

Still you're in need
of a lesson in love

You know it all, Smarty

Can't you see,
if you had a heart

You could learn to be
twice as smart

Smarty

Smarty

Though I'm not
quite as smart as you

I could teach you
just a thing or two

Smarty

Don't you know
you should hold me tight?

Can't you tell when
you've met the right party?

Though you may know
every star up above

Still you're in need
of a lesson in love

Come on and swing it...

Can't you see
if you had a heart

You could learn
to be twice as smart

Smarty

Now, if you can only cook.

Ten hamburgers
for my friend, please.

I found a wallet with this
address in it, and a $100 bill.

Your name, please?
Lefty Boylan,

but I just want
to return the wallet. I...

Will you please wait?
Just have a seat.

Mr. Dobson will see you
in just a minute.

He wants to see me?
Yes.

Sorry.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
It was awfully clumsy of me.

It's quite all right.

Well, I mean,
it was very careless,

stumbling around here
with my big feet.

You must accept
my abject apologies.

It was nothing.

It's very sporting of you,
though. I...

Oh, my,
these cartoonists.

It's amazing where they
pick up these things.

Just look at this, uh...

Well, if you feel
that way about it,

you don't have to
speak to me, either.

I have no intention
of speaking to you.

You just did.

Oh.

You did it again.

What was that?

Merely blew my breath out.

'Course, if it's illegal to
blow your breath out around here,

I wish you'd let me know.

I'd prefer that you didn't.

Then I'd suffocate.

Exactly.

Good afternoon. I found
this wallet with this address

and a $100 bill in it.
Your name, please?

John Pederson,
Chatham Apartments.

Will you please be seated? Mr.
Dobson will see you in just a minute.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh, look, quick, you... I thought
I told you not to talk to me.

But your hat! Your hat!

My hat. My hat.

All right, if you're going to
be difficult, I'll take it off.

But I have a slight cold.

Well, wear it if you like,
but it's on fire.

Nonsense.

Oh, quick, I tell you,
you'll be burned!

Is it really on fire?

My word, so it is.

Thank you a million times.

You have saved my life
and I am forever your debtor.

I will remain at your side
until I have repaid you.

Take it, dearie. I promised
my ma I'd be honest.

Keep it. Your name, please?

Keep... Well,
it's got a $100 bill in it.

Your name?

Uh, Liza Lou Lane, 781 Santa Helena
Avenue, actress. What's the charge?

And whatever it is,
it's a lie.

Just a moment, please.

This belongs here.
It's got a $100 bill in it.

Hey, what is this?

Well, if that was in ones and
fives I could have kept it,

but what chance has a guy like
me changing a century note?

They'd have just
locked me up for it.

What's your name?

Name? Oh, oh,
they call me Half-Pint.

You sound like
Piccolo Pete.

After you.

Say, do you know something?
Now, don't blab this around,

but for years I've been
persecuted by a pernicious firebug.

A firebug?
Yes.

Some icky runs around
trying to burn me up.

Why, I don't know.

Well, he sounds
perfectly normal to me.

But you never know when this
son of a gun's gonna strike.

How awful. Why, it's
practically cataclysmic.

Oh! Oh, there it is again.
What's that?

You know, fire.
Fire, yes.

Oh, that's all right.
I'll save you.

Oh, I'm afraid
you're all wet.

Yes.

Mr. Boylan? Mr. Pederson?
Yes, sir.

Miss Lane?
Yeah.

Mr... Mr. Half-Pint?

Mmm-hmm.

Four out of a possible 25.
Not a bad average. No.

Well, my friends,
let me congratulate you.

What's this all about?

Hey, if it's a raffle,
I don't wanna play.

All in due time.

For the present, all I can tell
you is, you're very lucky people.

You'll be handsomely rewarded,
I can assure you.

In the first place, you can
each keep your $100 bill.

Then, tonight at 8:00...
Oh, how do you do, Miss Clark?

I didn't know you were
waiting. Just step in my office.

At 8:00 tonight, at the
residence of the late Axel Clark,

855 San Dieguito Avenue,

please, all of you be present. You'll
hear something to your advantage.

It's very nice
to have met you...

Miss Clark, I'm very pleased
to have met you.

"I, Axel Clark, being of sound
and disposing mind and memory,

"and not acting under duress,
menace, fraud,

"or undue influence
of any person, whatever,

"do make, publish, and declare
this, my last will and testament,

"and desire it to be recorded as
such, revoking all previous wills,

"testaments,
and codicils thereto.

"To my beloved brother, Jonathan Clark,
I bequeath my gold watch and chain.

"To my esteemed sister-in-law,
Martha Sewell Clark,

"I bequeath my red and white set
of Chinese carved ivory chessmen.

"To my nephew, Egbert Clark, I
bequeath my black pearl shirt studs.

"To my niece, Victoria Clark,

"I bequeath
the diamond necklace

"which was formerly the property
of my beloved wife, deceased."

Is that all?

Do you mean to say
that's all my brother left us?

There is more, Mr. Clark,
if you will permit me.

The remaining provisions
of this will are so complex,

or shall I say, unusual,

that instead of reading them
to you,

I have requested my partner,
Mr. Mitchell,

to explain them to you
in simple language. Yes.

The late Axel Clark was, as
you know, a philanthropist.

I mean,
he loved humanity.

He believed that people are, in
the main, honest and intelligent.

This belief led to a lifelong
difference of opinion between him

and his brother,
Mr. Jonathan Clark,

who contended that people are,
in the main, rogues and fools.

It was to settle
this difference of opinion

that Axel Clark devoted
the bulk of his estate.

If Mr. Jonathan Clark is right
in his opinion of humanity,

then the estate goes to him.

lf, however, he is wrong, then
the estate goes to one of you.

Now, the first thing
the will instructed us to do

was to take 25 purses,
each containing $100,

and throw them in the streets
as bait for honest people.

We have done so.

Four of you have responded
honestly, and are here.

Now it remains
to be demonstrated

whether you are intelligent
as well as honest.

And for this purpose,
the will instructs us

to give each of you $5,000.

The money is yours,
to do with as you like.

When do we get it?

Here. Tonight.

Certified checks
of $5,000 each.

Now, the will provides
that you have 30 days

within which to try
to double your money

by honest enterprise.

All speculation and gambling
are strictly barred.

Double it in 30 days.
What then?

The first one of you to double
his money within 30 days,

by honest effort,

inherits the remainder
of the Clark estate.

But if none of you is able to
double his $5,000 within that time,

then the estate goes
to Mr. Jonathan Clark.

Now, is that perfectly clear?

It's clear to me. Yes.

All right.

If you finders will step this
way and sign the receipts, please.

Mr. Half-Pint.

But it's outrageous. All that
money to a lot of riffraff.

How much did he leave,
Mr. Dobson?

lt'll be more
than a million.

I've half a mind
to contest the will.

No sane man
would have done it.

You know better
than that, Mr. Clark.

You mean to tell me,
if I double this in 30 days,

I get a million bucks...
Dollars?

If you do it honestly,
and are the first to do it.

I don't believe it.

I assure you
it's true, Miss Lane.

Please believe me
this time, Miss Lane.

I'm awfully tired
of saying it.

Mr. Boylan.

Oh, I'll be right back,
Miss Clark. You'll pardon me?

Huh?

Will you sign here, please?
Go on.

Do you mind
if I ask a question?

Not at all.

Is there any objection
to us finders

sort of pooling
our interests?

I should object to that
very strongly.

Well, in spite of
Mr. Dobson's objections,

it's only fair to say there's
nothing in the will to prevent that.

Thank you.

Will you step around here
with me for a minute, please?

Yeah.

Gee, now, if I win, I can
give my mother that operation.

What's the matter
with your mother?

Mother? Oh, nothing.

She just likes operations.

Now, look.
This is $1,000,000.

If we start to fight amongst each
other, none of us will get it.

But if we four pull together,
we've got a chance.

What do you mean,
pull together?

Pool our interests.

Whoever is first to double
his 5,000, or whoever wins,

gives up half to be divided
among the other three.

You mean if I win, I have to
give away a half-a-million bucks?

That's right.

No, I can't afford it.

Oh, wait.
You don't understand.

Neither do I.

Look, it's like this...

Well, I'd be a poor sport not to
shake your hands and wish you luck.

After all, it was my brother's
money to do with as he liked.

I don't need it.
I got plenty of my own.

And if you can win it,
more power to you.

Now, as long as we're gonna
be competitors, in a way,

why don't we get together
and know each other better?

I'll tell you. Will you all dine with
me tomorrow night at 8:00, at my house?

Come on,
say you will. Hmm?

Oh, sure. I'll be glad to.
Now, that's fine, that's fine.

See you tomorrow night at 8:00. Mmm-hmm.

Have you lost your mind?

Axel said such people are intelligent.
Well, we'll see about that.

Mix with them,
make friends with them.

You, Martha, take the one
they call Half-Pint.

Oh, but I... Now, now, do as I say.

And Egbert, you make up
to that vulgar young woman.

Who, me?

Before we let them take all
that money out of this family,

let's give them
a real intelligence test.

How?

Well, first gain
their confidence,

and then ferret out
their plans.

I see what you mean.

And you, Vicki,

attach yourself
to that young man.

He's making sheep eyes
at you already.

It'll be a pleasure.
Watch him follow me out.

Oh, I'll see you
a little later, huh?

Oh.

Oh, Miss Clark.

Do you mind if I walk
with you a little way?

I don't see
how I can help it.

Well, you might be
a little nicer to me.

After all, your dad broke down
and asked me to dinner.

Well, you're coming,
aren't you?

Well, if you're
gonna be there.

Say, would I be too fresh if I
asked if I could take you home?

Gee, what would you do
if you met a beautiful girl,

and she just bowls you over, and
then wouldn't give you a tumble?

If you were a man, I mean.

Well, I'd set fire
to my hat.

Do you live far from here?

It's a long way to walk.

Oh, we'll get a taxi.

Oh, taxi!

Have you got change
for $100?

No, funny man.

I haven't time to push your
teeth in, either, or I would.

I'm with you.

Taxi drivers never
have any change.

Well, it's certainly
a terrible way to do business.

I guess we'll have to
walk it, huh?

You have a sympathetic nature.

I'd like to dance with you.

Oh, that's nice of you,
but we can't.

Why not?
No music.

Well, apparently,
you're not very resourceful.

How do you mean?

Look, I'll show you.

Is this your car?

No, but the air is free.

How about a quick twirl
around the ballroom?

Waltz or foxtrot?

Well, I don't know yet.
Wait a minute.

Ah, a schottische.

The music is playing

A song that invites romance

But you...
All you want to do is dance

While others are swaying

At least there's a word
or a glance

But you...
All you want to do is dance

Ah, when I hold you like this

Who's gonna notice a kiss?

I know how your heart
could beat

But you only care about

The rhythm in your feet

The music is playing

A song that invites romance

And I...

I want a chance

But you...

All you want to do is dance

While others are swaying

At least there's a word
or a glance

But you...

What's this?

Well, out of my department,
but I'll try it.

All you want to do is dance

The music is playing

A song that invites romance

But you...

Ah, the rumba!

All you want to do is dance

When I hold you like this

Who's gonna notice a kiss?

I know how your heart
could beat

Now you're in my kitchen.

I'll bet you only care about

The rhythm that's
in your feet

Don't get lost.

And I...

I want a chance

But you...

All you want to do is dance

Say, have you folks been
drinking? Why, oh, no.

Well, in that case, do you mind
if I cut in? Go right ahead.

Oh, you dance divinely!

That isn't true about all
policemen having flat feet.

Have you been drinking?

Why, no.

Well, then...

All you want to do
is dance, huh?

The first time I've ever asked my family
to help me, and you all act aggrieved.

Not I.
I'm going to enjoy it.

Now, as for you, my boy,
I want you to...

But I don't know
what to do.

Win the creature's confidence. Find
out her plans. Make her like you.

Now, Vicki, we can't afford
to be funny about this.

They'll be here any second.

Martha, put down that book.

"Okay, toots, you got me. Slip
me a fin and I'll croak the dick."

Toots. Fin. Dick.

In heaven's name, Martha,
what's this for?

I've got to learn how to
talk to the man, haven't I?

Mr. Half-Pint.

Oh, show him in.

Delighted to see you, sir. So
glad you could come. Come right in.

Martha, you remember
Mr. Half-Pint.

Hiya, bo.

Good evening, Mrs. Clark.

Park the frame
over there, buddy.

After you, ma'am.

Egbert, the cocktails. Or would
you rather have a shot of smoke?

A cocktail's fine,
thank you.

Miss Liza Lou Lane.

Ah, Miss Lane,
this is charming.

Oh, now, now, big boy,
don't rush me!

What? Oh, no, not at all.
You know everyone, don't you?

Excuse me a moment.

Will you have a cocktail?

No. No alcohol, kid.

I get a-feeling too good.

What's the matter
with feeling good?

Oh, you don't know
how good I can feel.

Mr. Pederson and Mr. Boylan. Excuse me.

Vicki.

Ah, good evening, Mr. Boylan.
How are you?

Mr. Pederson, delighted
to see you, sir. Thank you.

You know everyone? My daughter? Of course.

Good evening.

Hope I'm not late.
Not at all. Hello.

Brought you some flowers.
Oh, how nice of you.

Under glass.

Mother, you remember
Mr. Boylan?

Nice of you to come,
Mr. Boylan.

The dinner is served.

Come on, kid,
let's put on the nosebag.

Huh? Oh.

Say, listen, after dinner
you get me in a quiet corner

and tell me
all your past, huh?

You said it, baby, and how!

Marvelous.

Miss Lane, Mr. Pederson,
Mr. Boylan.

Right here by me, toots.

A cup of java ought to
hit the spot, toots.

Look, Mrs. Clark...
Spill it.

Well, I'll stop it
if you will.

Stop what?

Well, you've been
talking tough to me,

and I've been
talking refined to you.

Let's be natural.

Okay.

I mean, certainly.

Attagirl!

We have a beautiful view
of the city from the terrace.

Well, I'd like to see it.

How's for a rousing game
of backgammon?

Well, jacks is really my racket,
but I'll pitch in with you.

Oh, just call me Liza.

All right, Liza.

Well, this is pretty nice.

Yes, beautiful, isn't it?

Cigarette?
No, thanks.

You don't trust me,
do you?

How do you mean?

Well, you don't see why I
should want to help you people,

when if you win out,
it'll cost me a lot of money.

No, you've got me wrong.
I value your advice.

But you know, this money-doubling
marathon has got me stopped.

Hmm.

I thought you were a business
man of long experience.

Well, yes and no.

You know, it's really no
trick to double this money,

but the conditions say
I've got to do it honestly.

Mr. Clark, I really
don't know where to start.

I've never made
an honest dollar in my life.

Hmm. You only know
how to make money dishonestly?

That's right.

Have you, by any chance,
a police record?

Yeah, but I keep that
in my wife's name.

A crook.

Well, practically.

You see, that's why I need
your advice, Mr. Clark.

This is my chance to turn
honest, and I don't wanna miss it.

Really?

And if you really meant what
you said about helping us out,

why, a man with your
connections and experience

could do a whole lot
for me.

Like helping you
with your investments?

Well, yes, if you know
of something good.

Well, that's asking
a whole lot, Mr. Pederson.

I suppose.

But perhaps
there is something.

Oh, that's great.
What is it?

Well, come inside,
we'll talk it over.

Thanks.

Sit down, Mr. Pederson.

Thank you.

What is it?

Gold stock.

With the present market, it
ought to start moving very soon.

Why, you might just double your
money in... Well, what's the matter?

If I didn't know you better, I'd
say that was awfully crude work.

What is?
Well, your approach.

If you were trying to take me,
it'd be the wrong way to begin.

Yeah?
How would you begin?

Well, first off,
I'd win your confidence.

How?
Oh, I don't know.

Maybe I'd tell you
how happy I am tonight.

Just put over a big deal,
and made a hat-full of money.

Hmm.

And what would I say?

You would ask me
how I did it.

But I wouldn't tell you.
I'd be secretive.

That'd make you curious, and
you'd start pressing me to tell.

I see.

Well, fortunately, I'm not
trying to take you, Mr. Pederson.

I know, but if you were,
you'd have me interested now.

What, in that stock? Oh, forget
it. That was just an idea.

But I thought you said
it was going up?

Oh, perhaps.

Those things are always
uncertain, aren't they?

Not when you're in the know.

Had you thought, Mr. Pederson, of
putting your money in a business lease?

You changed the subject,
didn't you?

Did I? What about it?

Well, that'd be the next move,
if you were trying to take me.

It's the old come-on,
right out of the book.

Now, really,
Mr. Pederson...

Of course, I was only joking, Mr. Clark.

Could I have a look
at that stock, Mr. Clark?

Why, certainly, but...

Do you know, if it were
anyone else but you, Mr. Clark,

what I'd be thinking?

What? A sucker always
falls for a gold mine.

And what do you do in the
music business, write songs?

Sometimes.
And I sing a little,

and if they don't stop me,
I lead a band.

When you've won
Uncle Axel's millions,

you can lead a big band
all your own.

A little band would be
good enough for me,

and a little nightclub of my
own to play it in, of course.

Is that all you want?

That seems like quite a lot.

I'll have it, too, someday,
heaven and the tides willing.

With a million
you won't need it anymore.

You'd have the right
to stop working.

Well, if I had a lot of money,
I'd have the right to

do and say a lot of things
I can't say now.

What sort of things?

When a bird, young and free

Hangs around a certain tree

Singing serenades that tell
his love is true

That's because
it's the natural thing to do

And when a cat on a fence

Keeps his darling in suspense

And he's brave enough

To face a well-aimed shoe

That's because
it's the natural thing to do

And you know that a dove

Has his heart set on love

Rabbits, too, pet and pat

And there's nothing strange
in that

When a boy such as I

Tries so hard to qualify

With a very lovely lady
such as you

Can't you see
it's the natural thing to do?

And then the girl acts demure

The boy feels proud and sure

So proud and sure

That he impulsively
suggests a rendezvous

We progress

That's because
it's the natural thing to do

But the girl, she can't agree

Though he begs and pleads
and implores on bended knee

She runs away and she knows
he's gonna pursue, the fool

That's because
it's the natural thing to do

Then the boy, in despair

Waves his arms, tears his hair

Stamps his feet, acts like mad

Then you know
that he's got it bad

If the girl's
got a heart at all

Then she's bound to fall

She will take him in her arms
and kiss him, too

Don't you know that's
the natural thing to do?

Oh, well, let me see.

There must be something else
you could do with your $5,000.

I hear there's a lot of radium in
Siberia. Now, radium gets a good price.

Why don't you organize an expedition
to look for it, or go yourself?

No, I don't like radium. All you get is
a lot of static and too much advertising.

Oh, no. No.

No. Oh.

Oh, no. No.

It's on, it's off

It must be on or off

So why go on

When you can't
make your mind up?

Today, you're nice

Tomorrow, you're like ice

So this is where
our love affair must wind up

I'll give you back your sables

Your lovely diamond ring

The pretty clothes
you bought me

And every other little thing

It's on, it's off

And anyone can see

You haven't got a thing on me

Stop it! Stop it! Turn
it off! Young woman...

Oh, turn the music off!

It's that tune, that song.

I used to do my act to that
tune when I was on the stage.

And now every time I hear it,
I just can't resist it.

I'm awfully sorry,
but it always gets me.

Why, I never heard of such a
thing. Did you know about this?

Well, I...

No, no, you mustn't do that.

It's on, it's off

Please!
It must be on or off

Now, you can't do that in
this house. So why go on

This is... When we can't make our minds up?

This is disgraceful. Stop it!
Today...

Stop it!
Well, make him stop it!

I'm awfully sorry.

I guess I'm just
an artist at heart.

Good night, and thanks loads.
I'm sorry about the dance.

Good night, George.
Good night.

Mr. Half-Pint, don't forget our
luncheon engagement for tomorrow.

No, ma'am, I won't.

Thank heaven they've gone.

What an evening.

Good work.
I think we've got them.

I've fixed mine already, and
I'll take yours, one by one.

I'll show you
how intelligent they are.

We ought to be ashamed
of ourselves.

Why, what's wrong with you?

I won't be a party to
anything so lowdown and cheap.

They're perfectly decent, hardworking
people who deserve a chance.

Well, I don't think I'd call
Mr. Half-Pint hardworking.

Well, he's at least
proved himself honest.

And that's more than
any of us can say.

Why, Vicki!

The girl is right.

Lowdown, cheap, dishonest.

No, we mustn't go through with
it. Let them have the money.

I'll face the consequences
myself.

What are you
talking about?

Well, I haven't
told you before.

I didn't want to.
I was ashamed.

But you might as well know it
now. I'm in trouble at the bank.

They'll call it embezzlement
when it comes out.

Father.

It's a lot of money,
more than I can raise.

I had hoped your Uncle Axel's
inheritance would save me.

It was cowardly of me,
lowdown, dishonest.

I see it now.

I'm so sorry, Father.

It'll be all right, dear.

This is a fine time for you
to climb on a pedestal.

Why, what do you care what
happens to that Boylan chap?

Why, because he...

Vicki, are you going
to sacrifice your own father?

Leave the girl alone,
she's right.

Oh, it isn't a question of right
or wrong. We're beyond that.

I'll stand by Father.
You all know that.

Dad, why did you get mixed up
in that mess at the bank?

Doing a thing like that
and being found out.

Well, for heaven's sake, I had to
win Vicki over to our side, didn't I?

Oh...

You old hypocrite,
you had me believing you!

She'll hear you.

That's a whole lot of money,
and we're gonna lose it.

We've only got 18 days left,
and what plans have we made?

We're partners, aren't we?
Are we helping each other?

Well, what are we doing?

Me?

I bought me a golf range.

A what?

A golf range, you know, one of
those places where you practice.

Three balls for $1, and a prize
of $4,000, that's all I had left,

if you make a hole in one.
Brilliant.

How many golf balls do you have to
sell before you make 5,000 bucks?

Huh? Oh, uh...

I don't know.
Tell me something.

Does Mrs. Clark
know about your golf range?

Well, we sort of
figured it out together.

I thought so.

And you, Miss Lane, what have
you bought, a tennis court?

No. Rowboats.

Rowboats?

Yeah, I bought the rowboat
concession in the park,

and the girls row the boats.

You know, the girls I used
to work with in the show.

The girls row the boats?

Yeah. The sailors will
go crazy for that.

Why, when the fleet comes in,
I'll make a fortune.

You tell me something.

Did young Mr. Clark help
you work out this project?

Egbert? Well, we talked
about it, of course,

but he doesn't
think much of it.

Mmm-hmm.

And how right he was.

And you, Mr. Boylan, I hope you
at least have some sensible plan.

Well, I don't know. My plan probably
won't sound so good to you, either.

How about yourself,
Mr. Pederson?

Me?
Hmm.

Well, my plan didn't turn out so well. No?

It seemed a good thing
at the time, but...

What was it?

A gold mine.
Smart guy!

And he criticized us.

My confidence has been abused,
Mr. Boylan.

I've been taken advantage of.

But what was your plan?

Well, I figured on opening up a
nightclub, put my own band into it,

and if I got any kind of
a break... A nightclub?

Why, we're ruined.

Does Miss Clark
know about your plan?

Well, yes,
we discussed it.

As a matter of fact,
she helped me a lot. Why?

She helped you?
Yeah.

Just like the others
helped us.

What fools we've been.
What idiots!

What are you getting at?

I'm not getting at anything,
I'm telling you!

The Clark family has wormed its
way into our confidence and taken us

one by one.
They're a lot of crooks!

Why, I ought to punch you
in the nose for that.

Oh, now, there's no use
taking it that way, Mr. Boylan.

Well, I made an agreement with
you, and I'll stick to it if I win.

But I don't want to come
to any more of your meetings.

I've heard enough.

And that goes for me, too.
Martha's as straight as a string.

What's that for?

That's for calling Egbert
a crook.

Play golf! Play golf!
Three tickets $1!

Make a hole in one,
and you win $4,000!

Three tickets $1, folks!
Come on in, play golf!

Play golf! Three tickets $1,
and if you make the hole in one,

you get $4,000!
Come on in, play golf!

Play golf!

This girl almost got it.

Within a half-an-inch
that time. She'd have got...

I asked you to drop by,
Mr. Mitchell,

because our friend's
little enterprise

has been doing very well,
indeed. Yes, I can see that.

He's only been open four days
and five evenings,

and how much have you
taken in, Half-Pint?

Well, I figure if everything
keeps going as it has been,

I should double my money
by the end of the day.

It's astonishing.

Oh, thanks, Mr. Mitchell.
Thanks very much, indeed.

It's all right.

Now, what shall I do
after I double my $5,000?

Why, just bring your money up to
my office with all your records.

Well, we'll probably be there
the first thing in the morning.

Uh-huh. Nine days
under the wire.

Well, I think you're all to be
congratulated. Thank you, sir.

Goodbye, and good luck.

Thank you.
Goodbye, sir.

Win $4,000, folks!

Hello, there.
How do you do?

Well, I'm glad to see you
doing so well.

I brought a friend of mine to help
the cause along, Mr. Rutherford.

Go ahead, Johnny.

It's mighty nice of you,
Mr. Clark.

Buy some tickets, Johnny.
Buy a lot of them.

These are friends of mine.

I'll take $20 worth, to start.

Fine. That's mighty fine.

I think I'll go
and watch him shoot.

Mighty fine folks,
them Clarks.

Rutherford?
Did he say Rutherford?

Why, that's Johnny Rutherford.

Is it?

The golf professional.
Why, he's one of the best.

Oh, I'm ruined!

It's only a question of time. I told
you those Clarks were a lot of crooks.

Well, I sure am disappointed
in that Mrs. Clark.

No!

He's been at it
three hours now.

How much longer do you think
he can keep it up?

Oh, don't worry.
He's beginning to tire.

He's missing them
wider and wider.

He can't do it now.

Yoo-hoo!

Hello, Liza Lou.

Hiya, kid.
How's everything going?

Oh, fine. We're almost in.

Yeah, but not yet.

There's Egbert!
Yoo-hoo, Egbert!

Hello, Liza Lou.

Will you shut up?
Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't get excited.
You can make it.

Hi, Eggie, old kid!

I can't do it. I'm all in.

What'd I tell you?

He's bought $85 worth of balls,
too. That nearly puts us over.

Yeah, that makes us
about $6 short.

I'll take $1 worth
of whatever it is.

One out of ten.

Let's go home.
Wait a minute.

Oh, it's
a roller coaster, eh?

Oh, I must've hit
the jackpot.

Let's go home.

Oh, golf.

Now, hit the ball
and let's go home.

Did you see that?
He made it!

Nothing to it.

Say, give my friend a cigar,
and let's go home.

Let's go home.

Wait! Don't forget
your money!

Oh, it's terrible!
Oh, Half-Pint, I'm so sorry.

I guess I should have seen
right through you

But the moon got in my eyes

I was so thrilled
by the love you volunteered

I gave my heart
without a compromise.

I guess you don't remember,
do you

When the moon got in my eyes?

Yeah, I know what to do.

Now, listen. Let me have
the steel guitars alone.

Honey, let me hear that
vibraphone note, will you?

Oh, let's hear that.
That's pretty.

Mr. Boylan?
Huh?

If you don't okay
these sketches,

the girls won't have
a thing to wear.

Well, let me see.

I'm afraid these sketches
don't mean anything to me.

You don't have a sample
made up or anything, do you?

I'll make you one right now.
What?

Mr. Boylan, sit right down.

Boy, bring the pedestal out. Young
lady, step right up on the stand.

Come along, please.
Come along.

Ouch!

That's good.

Walk. Let me see the back.

Right up on the stand.

How do you like that?

Well, isn't that an afternoon dress? Yes.

Well, I think we ought to have
something for the evening.

I know just what you want.

Young lady, step right over here, will you?

How's that?

Ah, that's it.

That's the one.
We'll dream that one up, huh?

That's enough of that, now.
Take it from the beginning.

Out of the darkness

You suddenly appeared

That's fine.

You smiled
and I was taken by surprise

Well,
as I live and breathe.

Here's little Vicki

You know
I can't believe my eyes

Honey, you're really
the pause that refreshes.

Hello, Lefty.

What's the light of my life
doing in that dark corner?

Come on out here and dazzle the
group with your sweet presence.

I'm the one that's dazzled.
My, but you've been busy.

Busy? Say, I've been running around
here like a worm on a hot rock.

Oh, well, I always say a body
needs a dozen pair of arms

when there's housework to be
done. What do you always say?

I say you'd have
too much trouble

keeping a dozen pair of arms
to yourself.

Where's the orchestra?

No orchestra,
just my Sing Band.

Not even for dancing?

Honey, they're gonna dance
to that Sing Band and love it.

I hope.
Oh, it sounds grand.

Thanks.

You know, with half a chance,
you could make a success of this.

Hmm. Could and will.

My only fear is that success
might completely ruin my character.

Vicki, if it does, let's
disintegrate together, huh?

What?

Gosh, that almost sounded like I was
asking you to marry me, didn't it?

Well, in my own peculiar way,
maybe I was.

Well, I'm darned sure in my own
peculiar way, that I'm in love with you.

In your own peculiar way,
what do you think about me?

Well...

In my peculiar way,
I brought you the lease.

Dad said to tell you he was very glad
for you to have this building of his.

Here.
The lease?

Well, is that
your only answer?

It's the only answer now.

Wait till after the opening.

Why?
Can't you see?

You...

You need to be businesslike now.
You need your wits about you.

Yeah.

Well, if that's the way
you want it,

we'll wait
till I'm a big success, huh?

You're very confident.

Oh, I gotta be confident.
You know, I promised that boy.

What boy?

Myself, little Lefty,
when I was 14 years old.

Oh, I promised him plenty.

What did you promise him,
money and fame?

No. No, I promised him
some fun,

and a life worth living, and
somebody worth living it with.

Gee, if you walk out
on me now,

why, you're gonna make me
break my promise.

Now, you wouldn't
wanna do that, would you?

Oh, Lefty, you're sweet.

Sweet, yeah.
Well, guess that's something.

Uh, I don't have a pen.
Do you...

I brought one.

Have to sign both these?

No, the other one's yours.

Dad signed it.

Aren't you going
to wish me luck?

Of course I do.

You're busy,
and the family's waiting,

so if you'll excuse me,
I think I'll run on.

Oh, wait, wait.

I especially wanted you to stay
to see these stage settings.

They're marvelous.
Goodbye.

Goodbye?

I was so thrilled

By the love you volunteered

I gave my heart

Without a compromise

I guess

You don't remember

Do you

When the moon got in my eyes?

I thought
a kingdom was in sight

That I would have
the right to claim

But with the morning's
early light Say, Russ.

Phone that architect
right away, will you?

And ask him to come on over.
I gotta see him right away.

Yes, sir, right away.
I didn't have a dream

To my name

You know the saying

All who love are blind

Seems that ancient adage
still applies

Guess I should have seen
right through you

But the moon

Got in my eyes

Gather around me

The lesson today is history

A personal, private history

That you never knew

Listen, my children

And you shall hear
of the strangest thing

They say
that I was born to swing

Oh, listen, my children

And you shall hear

How I got this craze

From rocking in my cradle days

Now, all the kids
would go to sleep

Like other sons and daughters

But not for me

My mother had to sing me
Muddy Waters

Listen, my children

Though love, love is king

I can get along

As long as there's a song
to swing

All the kids would go to sleep
like other sons and daughters

But not me,
my ma had to sing...

Listen, my children,
though love is king

I can get along as long
as there's a song to swing

What are you looking
so glum about?

It's a success.
We're sure to win.

I know, I know.

Step right up, folks,
and get your tickets.

Glide over the waters
of the lake,

propelled solely
by girl power.

Bask in a cool breeze and
beam at a beautiful girl. Oh!

Why, it's a sure, safe, sane,

sensational, salubrious,
soul-satisfying ride.

Step right up
and get your tickets.

Let's go!

We got them.
I want a ride.

Away, away, away!

Hey, Liza,
can I have Ginger?

Sorry, toots,
but Ginger's all taken.

Oh, I had my mind
all set on Ginger.

Well, I'll give you a break.
I'll row you myself.

Okay, but if I go with you,
I'm just gonna fish.

Oh, come on, Sailbad the Sinner.
The customer's always right.

You expecting someone?

I'm afraid so.

Hey, wake up, Epidemic.
I think you caught something.

Huh? Oh.

Quick, quick!
Get it! Catch it!

Hold it. Get it! Get it!

I got it!

Hey!
Oh, you let him get away!

Forget about that. We're
sinking. Help me bail out, quick.

Bail? How do you bail?

Well, you know,
you take a hat and you...

Say, you're a sailor,
ain't you?

Yeah, but we never had
to bail out the battleship.

Uh-huh.

I got an idea.

I know, punch another hole
and let the water out.

No. I just remembered, in
Holland they got a statue...

Yeah, that'll help a lot.

Well, they put it up
for a little boy

who plugged a hole in the dike
with his thumb.

Thumb?
Yeah.

Well, you're crazy.
This hole is two feet wide.

Well, won't you sit down?
Huh?

Sit down!

All right,
but I won't like it.

What's that?

Oh, that's the signal
for our number.

Boy, wait till you see this.

Yeah.

Yoo-hoo!

What's the handkerchief for?

Well, that's to show the girls
where I am.

You see, I'm the leader, and
whatever I do, they follow me.

It's an idea
Egbert Clark gave me.

Oh, oh.

What's the matter?

The fish is back.

Well, whatever you do, don't get
up now until this number's over.

Oh, well, I'll try.

It's on, it's off

It must be on or off

So why go on when you can't
make your mind up?

Operator, get me the police.

Today, you're nice

Tomorrow, you're like ice

Oh, this is where
our love affair must wind up

I'll give you back your sables

Your lovely diamond ring

The pretty clothes
you bought me

And every other little thing

You're under arrest. So is Liza Lou
Lane. We're padlocking this place.

It's on, it's off

And anyone can see

You haven't got a thing

In the game of love

It's double or nothing,
darling

And I know right now
I'm taking a chance

Well, good evening, Mr. Dobson.
Mr. Pederson, how are you?

Mr. Mitchell,
I'm glad to see you.

I was beginning to think
you weren't coming.

Well, Mr. Dobson felt it
beneath our dignity,

but I thought it was our duty.
You see, I very... Well...

I very seldom
get to a nightclub.

Well, I guess it's the biggest
opening the town has ever seen.

Everybody's here, that is,
everybody who means anything.

Well, I don't see
anyone I know.

Do you mean to tell me he's
done all this with the $5,000?

Well, that and his credit,
and if it's a flop,

he'll be paying off
for the rest of his life.

That's why I wanted you here tonight,
because, barring unforeseen accidents,

Mr. Boylan wins the contest
under the will.

Oh, you mean that he's going
to earn $5,000 tonight?

No. Well, he'll have to
if he's to win, you know.

The 30 days allotted by the
will are up tonight at 12:00.

Yes, that's true.
Yes, we know that.

You see the gentlemen
seated over there?

That's Nick Praxiteles.

He owns a chain of the
biggest nightclubs in town.

Oh, do they come in chains?

Well, hardly.

The gentleman with him
is his lawyer,

and they've agreed, if they like our
show tonight, to buy a 51% interest

for $10,000.

I see.
Well, well.

That's why I wanted you here,
when the deal is settled.

Let me show you
to a nice table.

But I want all of you

Even though the odds
are double or nothing, darling

Still I bet my heart
that this is romance

Cigars, cigarettes.

Hi, Half-Pint.
Hello, Liza Lou.

Gee, I hope
we have luck tonight.

Well, I got
my fingers crossed.

What's the idea
with the padlocks?

Oh, it's Pederson's idea.
He's taking no chances.

Cigars, cigarettes!

Hello, Nick.
Hello.

I'm glad to see you.
Good evening, Mr. Papouras.

Looks pretty good,
doesn't it?

How do you say? Oh, this.

Well, band is good idea. How is the
rest of your talent, hunkydooley?

Why, we got
the best show in town.

And as soon as you two
are ready to talk business...

You show us the show first.
We may not like it.

Shut up. He's my lawyer, but he
talks too much if you let him.

Sport, I got a certifried
check right here.

That isn't any way to...
Shut up.

Look, you go talk
to Mr. Boylan,

you tell him if the show
is okay, we're partners.

Shut up.

You bet your life, Nick.
Don't you worry about a thing.

Everything will be
taken care of.

Hello.
Hello.

Nice of you to come.
Isn't Miss Clark coming, too?

No. Vicki wanted so much
to come,

but she has
another engagement.

Oh, that's too bad. She's
going to miss a lot of fun.

Just this way.

What are they here for?

They must be
up to something.

Yeah, I wouldn't be
a bit surprised.

Especially reserved
for your party by Mr. Boylan.

Well, that's very kind
of Mr. Boylan, I'm sure.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

I want to welcome you,

and I want to thank you
for coming,

and I hope you like us.

We've prepared something really fine
and distinctive for the opening event

on this little taffy pull,
a clarinet virtuoso.

He's going to play
a scherzo in F minor.

Hope he ain't so scared
so he can't play.

The virtuoso is in your hands.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

That, ladies and gentlemen,
was Ames and Arno.

Man, he turned her every
way but loose, didn't he?

Uh...

I think right now I'd like to sing a
little song for you, if you don't mind,

in my rather tired baritone.

We're gonna use the Sing Band in
this number as an accompaniment.

The name of the song is
The Moon Got In My Eyes.

Out of the darkness
You suddenly appeared

You smiled

I was taken by surprise

I guess I should have seen
right through you

But the moon got in my eyes

I was so thrilled
by the love you volunteered

I gave my heart
without a compromise

I guess you don't remember,
do you

When the moon got in my eyes?

I thought a kingdom
was in sight

I would have
the right to claim

But with the morning's
early light

I didn't have a dream
to my name

You know the saying

All who love are blind

Seems that ancient adage
still applies

I guess I should have seen
right through you

But the moon got in my eyes

And now, before the moon gets in your eyes,

I want you to take a look at an act that
I think is going to get under your skin

and really tickle your ribs,
or am I getting too biological?

Well, you just... You take a
look at the Calgary Brothers.

Out of the darkness

You suddenly appeared

You smiled and I was taken

By surprise

I guess I should have seen
right through you

But the moon got in my...

I was so thrilled
by the love you volunteered

I gave my heart
without a compromise

I guess you don't remember,
do you

When the moon got
in my eyes?

I thought

A kingdom was in sight

That I would have
the right to claim

But with

The morning's early light

I didn't...

We're closing the first half of
our show, ladies and gentlemen,

with the Lane Sisters,

two dainty misses who are going to
swing out lightly on a number for you.

I would request, however,
your earnest attention,

as they are very timid,

and the character of their
performance is extremely intimate.

Thank you.

When I sing a love song,
I always sing it hot

When I bang a piano
I give it all I've got

Got me chasing, madly pacing

Got me racing after you

Got me camping
on your doorstep

That is why I sigh, cry,
fly sky-high

I would trail ya

Swim to Siam or Australia
after you

I'll grab my hat, my cane

A train, a plane
to Maine or Spain after...

Gee, kid, not to interrupt

Why, you really
shouldn't have buppity-bupped

Can't I join the jam
and swing with cheers?

Well, come on, Jackson,
start to sing

Can you...

Sure, I can...

Well, then...

After you

Can you...

Sure, I can...

I mean...

Can't you read words?

I don't need words
I need

Three for a half
Six for a dollar

Light up, Jack
Don't you holler

The stuff is sharp
Tonight's the night

Well, let's get mellow
Get high as a kite

Dixieland is calling us home

Hey, hey, hey!

Hi, hi, hi!

Ho, ho, ho!

Let's get trilly tonight

Well, keep pitching, gals,
you're doing all right

Well, step in, Lefty

Are you sharp tonight?
Naturally

Can you jam?
Can you shout?

Well, I was just fixing
to help you out

All set?
No, not yet

Mustn't forget my etiquette

Oh, go on, Lefty,
do your worst

Oh, no, ladies first

After you

Well, good grief

Good night

Isn't this a private fight?

Well, what next?
I'll bite

Everybody for himself tonight

We may seem rude

Now, here's a happy interlude

That's if you're through

One, two, after you

We say after you

We say after
After

After
After

After you

After you.
Yeah, kid.

Quite a show, Mr. Boylan.
Thank you.

Nice work, Lefty.
Nice going.

Glad you liked it.

Beautiful place.
Thanks.

We've put it over, Lefty.

The Greek's nuts about the
place, the show and everything.

And everybody's raving.

You ought to be the happiest
man in the world tonight.

Yeah, I am.

Get some mineral water
there, please?

So you came after all.

I guess you wanted
to be in at the finish, huh?

No.

I think you'd enjoy it more with the
family. They're sitting over there.

It's you I came to see.
Me?

What about?

To show you where I stand.

I got a pretty good idea
where you stand.

I stand with you,
do you know that?

You handed me
a phony lease. I know that.

But you don't know why, and I can't
tell you why, but I can tell you this.

I love you.

What?

And I want to marry you.

Wait a minute. Say that again,
will you? But say it slow.

I mean it.

Well,
what changed your mind?

It didn't need changing.

Do you think I'll win?

I know you'll lose,
but does that matter?

I've told you I love you.

Oh, well, lady, you can't
propose to me publicly like this.

Now, stay right where you are,
will you? I'll be right back.

Well, Nick,
how do you like us?

I think is fine.
Shut up.

I'll bet you'll like the second
half of the show even better.

I'm ready for
to do business right now.

Shut up.
Just give it to me.

Here you are, Mr. Boylam.
$10,000 for 51%.

Is written right here, and
here is a certifried check.

Now, shall we go
to your office to sign up?

No, I guess we can
read it right here.

Mr. Boylan?
Uh-huh.

I'm from the Sheriff's office.
I got an injunction for you.

Injunction? For what?
I don't know.

I don't read them.
I just serve them.

Hey, what does he mean,
"injunction"?

Well, this is a court order restraining
Boylan from using these premises

for any other purpose
except storage.

Clause eight
of the lease.

You mean to say
you signed these things

and you don't know
what's inside of them?

Well, Nick, you see, I
figured that... Shut up.

I know what I'm doing. Sport,
I ain't buying no lawsuits.

Well, wait a minute, Nick.
Now, we can figure this out.

How much time have I got?
Five minutes.

You mean,
I can't finish my show?

Listen, brother, if you don't get these
people out of here in five minutes,

we'll do it for you.

That's bad.

Well, I got to do something
about it, I guess.

Like to dance?

Oh, Lefty, I'm so sorry.

Oh, no, I can't take that for an answer.

Say, does that still go,

what you said a little
while ago, about marrying me?

It goes forever, darling.

We'll start all over together, and this
time I'll help you instead of hurting you.

And how about the family?

I've done all I'm going to do
for my family.

Let them have the money.

I'll live with you in a
furnished room and love it.

I don't know. Your pappy
hasn't got us licked yet.

I found the joker in the lease
and I made arrangements to move.

What do you mean?

I'll show you.

You're putting out
the lights.

Yes, I know.

Your daddy wanted
his building back,

so I arranged
to move next door.

Well, goodbye, Mr. Clark.
Hope you liked the show.

Come and see it again some time,
when you get out of storage.

Miraculous, Papouras,
miraculous!

I never see such things
in my life!

Oh, boy!

Vicki! Vicki!
Come back here!

Then old Pops in despair

Waves his arms, tears his hair

Stamps his feet
and acts like mad

Then you know
that he's got it real bad

Then the girl ought to fall

If she's got a heart at all

She should hold real still

So he can kiss her, too

Mmm, just the natural thing
to do
