"Did you see that?" "Did you see the way he looked at that bridesmaid?" "Oh, no." "He was just looking around and accidentally there was a bridesmaid." "Why doesn't he look at me?" "Oh, he has seen you." "Did you catch that?" "Flirting right up to the last minute." "Oh, don't be silly." "I'll never be able to trust that girl." "Oh, I won't need you anymore today, Thompson." "Good morning, Mrs. Kent." "Oh, good morning." "We've booked you and Mr. Kent on the Southern Queen sailing next Tuesday." "Good." "Did you get us a stateroom on the promenade deck?" "Naturally." "We've also arranged for your accommodations in Rio at the Hotel Atlantico." "The presidential suite." "Of course." "How do you do?" "Good morning." "Don't worry, in Rio, our man will meet you at the boat and escort you to the hotel." "Fine." "Here she is again." "You take care of her, Dudley, in a nice way. I got stuck last time." "Quite a character." "Comes in here every few months." "Loads up on literature, plans elaborate tours." "Never goes on one of them." "Really?" "Why is that?" "Well, she's just a singer in a honky-tonk." "Hasn't got a dime." "I think there are some papers here for you to sign, Mrs. Kent." "Oh, how do you do, Miss Garrett?" "Oh, greetings, chum." "My, we haven't seen you, let's see now, since you didn't go to Switzerland." "I got a big kick out of planning that." "What looks good this time of the year?" "How about the Canadian Rockies?" "Canadian Rockies?" "Don't you remember?" "I already haven't been there." "Oh, of course, I'm sorry." "What about a cruise through the Canal, and return home by train from Los Angeles?" "The Canal's for schmoes." "Come on, what really looks good?" "Well, South America's getting a heavy play." "We have some literature on it, if you'll just step right over here." "Sure." "Here are the papers." "Hello, Miss Garrett." "Hi." "South America, the seat of ancient cultures." "Museums, missions, archeological ruins abound." "South America." "You could tell by her manana...." "Manana, that fractures me." "What has South America got besides romantic ruins?" "Let's see. lt says here there are approximately four men to every woman" "That's enough." "Doesn't hurt a girl to be outnumbered." "Pardon me." "Yes?" "We're set up to take your passport photo." "Oh, thank you. I'll be right in." "As long as I'm handy, I might as well have one taken too." "But, Miss Garrett, you've already had seven passport pictures taken." "But never as a blond." "Are you going to tell your husband?" "Oh, no, no." "Not yet." "I want some time to prepare him for it." "Well...." "Before you go, there's just one more thing." "Uncle." "Uncle." "Yeah." "What happened?" "Do you see what I see?" "What do you see?" "lsn't that Elvira down there?" "Now, Michael, don't tell me you are still jealous of her." "Well, why did they raise the top?" "l don't know." "Maybe they are afraid it will rain." "Let's face it, uncle." "Elvira's a flirt, always has been." "Thought marriage would change her, it hasn't." "Just the opposite, my boy." "When a woman is married, she has to flirt twice as hard to prove she's still got it." "Yes?" "Yes what?" "Whom do you wish to see?" "Mr. Michael Kent." "Who are you?" "Oh, I'm Mr. Kent's secretary." "Oh, since when?" "Since 9:00 this morning." "Who are you?" "Mrs." "Michael Kent, since three years ago." "Oh, really?" "Why do you say, "Oh, really"?" "Well, I didn't know Mr. Kent was married." "Well, you've only been here since 9:00." "He couldn't have gotten very far in the story of his life." "Shall I announce you to Mich--?" "I mean, Mr. Kent?" "Never mind." "I'll just walk in on Mr. Ke-- l mean, Michael." "Hello." "Oh, hello, darling." "Your hat's on crooked." "it's supposed to be that way." "Oh, is it?" "Looks very cute." "Very cute." "We'll take care of that a little later." "Who was that you just drove up with?" "I was hoping you wouldn't see me." "Well, if you must know, it was an automobile salesman." "You looked so chummy, could've sworn he was a friend." "He was just showing me how the car worked." "You didn't tell me you were getting a new car." "You didn't tell me you were getting a new secretary." "Where did she come from?" "Oh, from the Acme Secretarial School, I suppose." "By the time we're back from South America, she'll be able to type with all 1 0 fingers." "Oh, South America." "What's the matter, dear?" "Nothing, nothing." "Oh, excuse me." "Mr." "Kent, you wanted to see these." "Fine." "Put them out on the whole chain." "I want everyone to smell good." "Yes, sir." "Michael, every time you say, "Oh, uh, um" like that I know there's something on your mind and not in your throat." "What about our trip?" "Well, darling, this is it." "I'm afraid we're going to have to postpone it again." "Postpone it?" "Why?" "Business." "Something came up this morning." "About 9:00 this morning." "Yes, yes, about 9." "Phone call from the West." "Great chance for a merger." "Listen, marriage is a merger too, you know, and a darned important one." "I know, I know." "If we can grab the Great Western Drug Company there won't be a hot-water bottle without our name on it." "That's a comfort." "Tell J.B. to put those on a national network." "You wanted me to remind you of your lunch appointment." "Yes, thank you, Miss Medwick." "Bye-bye, dear." "May see you at dinner." "Glad you see it my way." "Come along, bring your notebook." "This is not only lunch, it's business." "Would you please sign these?" "Oh, yes, yes." "That's a wonderful perfume." "Don't believe we carry that in our stores." "Would you mind telling me what it is?" "lt's called Tonight or Never." "It's your photo." "A messenger brought it from the Baker Travel Agency." "A lot of good it'll do me now." "Maybe we'd better put it in stock." "Oh, yes, sir." "Well, if you don't want it, I'd be glad to keep it as a souvenir." "You're sweet." "Excuse me." "Would you mind finishing?" "Hello, dear." "Hello, Uncle Lazlo." "Your hat is on crooked." "It's supposed to be that way." "I guess you heard Michael cannot go to South America." "Uncle Lazlo, couldn't you handle this deal yourself?" "No, darling, I cannot do anything without Michael." "I am the president of the company, but he is my brains in the drugstore business." "When I started in this business nobody was helping me." "No. I was a soda jerker." "I was such a thin boy, my boss was such a guy." "One mistake, I got a punch in the nose." "But now it is different." "I am the success, so he does all the work." "No, no, no, I cannot let Michael go, not for a day." "He's the great business head." "I didn't marry Mike for his business head." "He's so attractive, but he's such a wolf." "Don't you think it's a little strange that this business deal should pop up the same morning he hires a beautiful new secretary?" "I know what you are insinuating, but you are 90 percent wrong." "What about the other 1 0 percent?" "Oh, well, I'm not saying that Michael has not looked at another woman." "Who hasn't?" "I have looked at women, and the few that looked back, I married." "That cured me of looking." "I will tell you what, I still like women, but I stopped looking." "Well, that isn't me." "is there a phone number on the back?" "Let me see." "A nice girl." "l thought you'd stopped looking." "Why, I know who that is." "That's that girl in the agency." "She's quite a character." "Elvira, dear, why not forget about Michael and take this trip yourself." "Why?" "And leave him here with a free hand?" "Oh, no." "Don't be silly." "Even if you were here if Michael wanted to play around in a city like New York with a little caution:" "If he thought I was away, he wouldn't bother about being careful." "How I'd love to go to South America and catch Michael here." "My dear niece, not only is it impossible, but it cannot be done." "Uncle." "What?" "l think I have an idea." "What--?" "What idea?" "Get me the Baker Travel Agency, and I wanna speak to Charles, please." "Uncle, we're going nightclubbing tonight." "Night" " Nightclubbing?" "Hello, Charles." "This is Mrs. Kent." "Uncle." "Uncle." "Yes?" "This is the girl." "I hope you know what you are doing." "Waiter, have you a table for two?" "Sorry, no formal dress allowed." "Why?" "Makes the customers feel uncomfortable." "Oh, makes them uncomfortable." "And how much makes them comfortable?" "You rich guys think that money can buy anything." "How right you are." "Nobody would ever suspect you love music." "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." "That ought to prove I'm not rude." "We now present our singing star, an Oscar Farrar discovery trained by Oscar Farrar, and appearing here through the courtesy of Oscar Farrar." "Incidentally, my name is Oscar" "Seems to escape me for the moment." "Miss Georgia Garrett." "Hi, baby." "Although I'm smitten" "I've never written" "Any poetry at all" "Not even the kind That you usually find" "On a schoolhouse wall" "The poems that I've composed" "I could never win a cup with" "After trying and trying And trying and trying" "This is what I came up with" "I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love with you" "I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love" "In love" "So she's in love." "I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love" "I'm in love" "I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love" "I'm in love with...." "I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love" "I'm in love with you" "What was the name of that song?" ""l'm in Love."" "Did I do right by you?" "You always do." "But all this is beneath me." "Marry me so I can quit this job." "I'm getting tired of turning you down." "Marry me and get yourself a dependent." "I'm deductible." "Oscar, you're a sweet kid, but just a little offensive." "I always wanted to marry a girl who could tune a piano on the side." "Once and for all, will you marry me?" "Answer yes or no." "No." "We'll continue this discussion later." "Will you see me home?" "Hey, Georgia, a couple of income-tax evaders want you to have a drink with them." "Table seven." "I'll drink with them, but autographs are out." "Okay." "Captain, did they ask for me too?" "No one ever asks for you." "How did a sweet kid like you ever get into this kind of a racket?" "Hello." "Hello." "Hi." "Miss Garrett, I'm Elvira Kent." "And this is my uncle, Lazlo Lazlo." "Hello." "If he isn't your uncle, is that my business?" "You can believe me, she's my niece." "I have experiences in nieces." "Won't you sit down?" "Don't be surprised if I do." "That's cute." "We ordered champagne if it is all right with you." "So I'm stuck with it." "Say, haven't I seen you someplace?" "Baker Travel Agency." "What's more they sent me your passport photo by mistake." "The schmoes, they sent me yours." "It's right in my dressing room, you want it?" "There's no hurry." "You can keep mine. I'm not going anyplace." "Well, neither am I." "Did you run out of money too?" "Oh, no, no, no." "My niece cannot run out of money." "I am the owner of one of the greatest drugstore chains." "When I came in this country I was a soda jerker." "I was such a thin boy, my boss was such a guy." "One mistake, I got a punch in the nose" " No, no." "Miss Garrett." "Listening." "How would you like to go to South America after all?" "How would I like to go to--?" "Oh, you mean as a stowaway?" "No." "In a first class cabin, all expenses paid, and $ 1 000 spending money." "What radio program do you two represent, and how did I win it?" "Oh, no, nothing to do with radio or contests or anything like that." "No." "What's the catch?" "There must be a catch." "There is." "You see, you have to travel under my name." "Under your name?" "You tired of it?" "No." "You see, I'm married and" "Oh, ashamed of it." "No." "Miss Garrett, I don't trust my husband." "Natch." "If he thought I was in South America, he'd play around quite openly" "And she would be here to catch him." "Well, why not let him play around?" "Keeps them off the streets." "Please." "This is a legitimate offer." "Yes, it is." "Do you mean after all these years of planning and dreaming and never getting out of Far Rockaway...?" "You mean this thing is just gonna fall right in my lap?" "Right in your laps." "Well, what am I asking questions for?" "Lady, have you got yourself a deal." "Oh, good." "Let's drink to that." "Wonderful." "A votre what?" "What does that mean?" "Your health." "Mine's fine, thanks." "How's yours?" "Don't pack that. I'll need that in New York." "Beg pardon?" "I mean, I won't be using it in Rio." "You can stop packing, Marie." "Hello, darling." "Hello." "I'll finish the merger by the end of the week, and then I can go with you." "I said I'll be finished in a few days." "Aren't you happy?" "Oh, yes, I certainly am." "It's just that it interferes with all my plans." "Plans?" "What plans?" "What she means is her boat leaves tomorrow and not in a few days, you know." "But another one leaves Saturday." "That's only 96 hours." "But" " But" " But, darling, you can't complete a decent merger in 96 hours." "She's right." "If you should mess up this deal..." "...you'll never forgive yourself." "Yes, I will." "Then I'll never forgive you." "Oh, the phone." "Now, look, darling, this is" "Hello." "Oh, hello, Georgia." "Oh, I can't talk to you now, dear, I'm in a hurry." "l'll see you on the boat." "Who's this you'll see on the boat?" "George who?" "George who?" "Oh, George who?" "Oh, not George who Georgia." "Just a girlfriend of mine." "But no, darling, you stay here and take care of your affairs." "Well, this seems very funny to me." "Very funny that you can't wait till Saturday." "Only four days." "Don't you think it's funny, uncle?" "No, it isn't funny at all." "Maybe not to you, because you have no feelings of such matters." "What--?" "I have no feeling?" "You have no feeling." "You are talking, talking, don't know what about." "She cannot postpone her trip." "It's settled with Georgia." "What's settled?" "Say, who is this Georgia?" "You see, you haven't the faintest notion." "Georgia is the girl who has to" "You are driving me crazy." "Elvira, don't you think you owe me an explanation?" "I can't hear a word you're saying, the shower's making too much noise." "Just what are you up to?" "I can't talk to you right now." "I want one reason, at least one good reason why you have to go off by yourself." "I can't talk to you right now." "If I can't hear you, at least let me see you." "Now, are you gonna wait for me?" "Yes or no?" "Oh, hello." "Come in." "Excuse me, are you Peter Virgil?" "l am." "Peter Virgil, the detective?" "Yes." "My client suspects his wife is slowly poisoning him and I was just examining the evidence." "No, there's no poison." "It could stand a little sugar though." "Excuse me." "See I...." "l figure as long as there's no poison, why, I might as well drink it." "Would you join me in a cup of evidence?" "No, thanks." "Well, sit down." "What can I do for you?" "Well, you'll excuse me for being blunt, Mr. Virgil." "Tell me, Mr. Virgil..." "...are you a good detective?" "Naturally." "Where did you get your training?" "ln the Army. lntelligence G-2." "Well, were you good at your job?" "We won the war, didn't we?" "Before that I was a vaudeville hoofer, wrestler, and a magician's assistant." "So you can see, I'm a man of wide experience, Mr...." "Kent." "Michael Kent." "See how I wormed that name out of you?" "Mr. Virgil, I'm here on a very delicate matter." "l suppose you're married?" "Yes." "I know what I'm doing is not quite the right thing" "But what you suspect your wife is doing is even worse?" "The fact of the matter is, Mr. Virgil my wife is leaving day after tomorrow on a South American cruise and, well, she insists on going without me." "To a man of your nature, that means only one thing, another man on the boat." "See, I don't know." "That's what I want you to find out." "Well, you've come to the right man." "I've handled so many of these cases. l" "Excuse me." "Hello." "Oh, yes, how are you?" "Well, certainly I shadowed your wife." "I hate to tell you this, but you were right." "She's been two-timing you." "Hello?" "Hello?" "He fainted." "Sometimes there's a shot." "Now, where were we?" "Mr. Virgil, I want you to get on the same boat with my wife and shadow her." "l'll have to leave all of my business." "l'll make it up to you." "I can tell you right now without batting an eyelash, it'll cost you $ 1 000 a week." "Well, that's a little steep, isn't it, old boy?" "Yes, yes, it is, but I'll probably get seasick." "Well, all right, all right." "I'll book your passage." "Move your chair closer, will you?" "There's a little confidential information I must have." "Oh, excuse me." "Hello." "Well, what do you know he didn't even wait for me to tell him." "It still isn't too late." "Can't you wait two or three weeks?" "Don't be ridiculous." "Here I am, we're sailing any minute." "l can get you off the boat in a while." "Will you please not worry about me?" "I'll be back in no time." "Yeah, I know, but I'm gonna miss you so much." "You just have the feeling that I'm always near you." "I'll try." "And, darling, I want you to remember that wherever you are I'll be watching over you." "Oh, what a lovely sentiment." "Oh, isn't that the warning whistle?" "Well, I didn't hear anything." "Did you, uncle?" "The whistle?" "Yes, sure I heard." "I still hear it." "Well, goodbye, darling." "Goodbye." "Have fun." "Come along, uncle." "Well, goodbye, darling." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "I didn't lie, just the whistle is a little late." "I understand running away from me, but not on such an elaborate scale." "It was very sweet of you to come down." "Goodbye." "I'll give you one more chance to explain." "Where did you get the money?" "l told you." "You didn't tell me." "That's right, I told you I couldn't tell you." "You treat me like an empty suit." "Are you going with somebody?" "Scouts honor, I'm traveling alone." "That's no fun." "Georgia, I won't let you do this." "It's not only walking out on your job and me once you go, you cut down my list of friends 1 00 percent." "Think of that." "l have thought about it." "That's the gratitude I get." "I taught you everything you know, gave you a career." "I picked you up when you were working for $45 a week and gave you a job at the club." "At a snappy 40 a week." "You can't expect to start at the top, although I've often wondered why not." "Oscar, you better go." "I have so many things to do before we sail." "I know when I'm not wanted." "It happens to me constantly." "Oscar." "Aren't you gonna kiss me?" "I don't know how." "Will you show me?" "You don't know how either." "B flat, that's your key." "Don't forget to put your shoes in front of the cabin every night." "Be sure to write." "l will." "You sure you're not going with somebody?" "Goodbye, Oscar." "You're sure everything's gonna be all right?" "Don't worry." "I want you to write me every chance you get." "If what I have can't go through the mails..." "..." "I'll phone you." "All right." "I've had a lot of these." "l hope what I'm doing is all right." "You're all right." "Everything's all right." "Okay." "Oh, excuse me." "Sorry." "Should I wait for you?" "No, you'd better go with Michael." "He might get suspicious." "Come in." "All clear?" "Nobody here but my uncle." "And I am practically gone already." "Have a nice trip, my da-- Oh, pardon me." "You have a" " Oh, excuse me." "See you later." "All right." "Good luck to you." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "You all right?" "Oh, you don't know what a tough time I had getting rid of my boyfriend." "I'm beat." "Georgia-- l mean, Elvira, because that's gonna be your name for the next few months." "Please be careful of your speech." "Mrs. Kent may be fatigued, but she's never beat." "Okay, I'm fatigued, but my feet hurt." "Michael." "Michael. I thought I lost you." "Well, you see, I was just seeing a friend about some business in South America." "Well, goodbye, Georgia." "Best of luck." "I hope you have a wonderful trip." "Thanks." "And I almost forgot to tell you, I overtip." "Okay. lt's your money." "That's right." "Now let me see, checked the passenger list, nobody knows me." "So far so good." "Now here." "I've written letters to my husband addressed from various ports." "Please be sure to mail them one by one at each place you stop." "That ought to convince him." "lt's a cinch." "Well, goodbye again and good luck to you." "Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing." "How do you feel about men?" "They're grand." "I mean, they're the most important thing." "With your figure and my name, the men will be flocking after you." "Say, that's happened to me plenty under my own name." "Well, just remember, while your lips are being kissed it's my reputation that's suffering." "Yeah, I'll make a note of that." "Good." "Oh, dear, I'm liable to be trapped on the boat." "Well, goodbye, Georgia." "Goodbye." "I hope you make me very proud of me." "I'll try." "Oh, do me a favor, have a wonderful time but please stay in your cabin as much as possible and as alone as possible." "I'll make a note of that too and underline it." "Bye." "All ashore that's going ashore." "What's the matter with you?" "What's the matter with you?" "l think I forget." "Forget what?" "l for" "Nothing at all." "I think I get seasick." "The ship isn't even moving." "Why didn't you tell me that?" "Late for work, aren't you?" "Could you tell me what table Mrs. Elvira Kent has reserved?" "Table 64." "is that where you're stationed?" "What do you mean?" "Aren't you a new waiter?" "Me?" "Certainly not. I'm a passenger." "I've got one of the most luxurious cabins on the boat." "l beg your pardon." "You should." "If I were not a headwaiter, I'd be flustered." "What gave you the idea I work here?" "lt was a mistake." "You see, onboard, no one dresses the first night out." "Well, what's good enough for you is good enough for me." "Oh, I'm so sorry." "My dear young lady." "Yes?" "I advise you to go to your cabin and get out of your clothes." "Pardon?" "Don't go in there." "You'll be frightfully embarrassed." "Embarrassed?" "Why?" "Nobody dresses the first night out." "They don't?" "Even if it's chilly?" "This I gotta see." "You mean nobody dresses up." "Of course." "Didn't you know that?" "Then what are you doing in that monkey suit?" "Confidentially, this is my first trip too." "Really?" "Yes." "My dear man, I've been on more world cruises than you could shake a stick at." "It's just that compared to my other gowns, I don't consider this very formal." "is that so?" "Well, if you don't consider that formal, I'd like to see the rest of your wardrobe." "Mrs." "Elvira Kent." "ln particular, I have one little item..." "...that's backless, strapless..." "Mrs." "Kent." "...almost frontless." "Mrs." "Kent." "Mrs. Elvira Kent." "Oh, my goodness." "Mrs. Elvira Kent, that's me." "Hey, boy." "Are you Mrs. Kent?" "Natch. I mean, naturally." "Radiogram." "Oh, thank you." "Just a moment." "May I?" "No, no, I'll take care of it." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "Thank you." "That's all right." "I'm told I overtip." "Really?" "Would you excuse me, please?" "Yes, certainly." ""Don't dress first night out." Now she tells me." "Mrs. Kent, now that I know your name, perhaps it's fair you should know mine." "lmmaterial." "lt's Peter Virgil." "I was wondering if you're as hungry as Mr. Virgil." "I could eat a cow." "Well, then our dress notwithstanding, will you have dinner with me?" "If I'm overdressed, I might as well overeat." "Unless you've some other dinner engagement?" "Oh, no, no, no." "Oh, now, surely you must have some friends onboard." "I don't mean male friends." "I mean, girlfriends often go on cruises together." "I don't know a soul on this tub." "Except Mr. Peter Virgil." "Well then, chin up, eyes straight ahead, and what care we if the peasants stare." "Carry on." "Oh, waiter." "Come here." "Table for two, please." "I'm sorry, the dining room's just been closed." "What do you mean closed?" "First you ritz me, then you try to starve two perfectly good paying customers." "The man is only doing his duty." "After all, it's our fault that we dawdled." "Did we dawdle?" "Just the same, thanks ever so." "Why don't you try the cocktail lounge?" "The pretzels are delicious." "That's an excellent suggestion." "I'm famished." "More pretzels, please." "More pretzels." "Yes, sir." "Yes, thank you." "Tell me, Mr. Virgil, what business are you in?" "I stick my nose into other people's business." "You know how it is when a man's retired." "Retired?" "Retired from what?" "I made my fortune in the entertainment business." "Oh, really?" "I invented a new system for clearing audiences out of theaters." "You're cute." "You know something?" "Thank you." "What?" "l've always had an ambition to be a singer." "ls that so?" "Most singers have secret ambitions to be society dames." "I don't see why you're wasting your time with a married woman..." "...when there's many attractive single girls." "Oh, yes, yes." "The single girls look for husbands, while married women run from their husbands." "Frankly, I'd rather be with those that are running than with those that are looking." "Don't you want to be married?" "Well, most husbands I know speak very poorly of marriage." "What of your marriage?" "Would you believe it?" "l haven't felt married." "Yours must be a very unusual marriage." "It certainly is." "I think we had quite enough dinner, thank you." "What would you like to do now?" "I wish I could." "Isn't that lovely?" "Hello." "Good evening." "Oh, and you do sing?" "A little." "You know this song?" "Yes." "Could you raise it a little, please?" "Sure." "B flat, fellas." "It's you or no one for me" "I'm sure of this Each time we kiss" "The lady's in love" "Now and forever And when forever's done" "You'll find that you are still the one" "Please" "The lady said please" "Don't say no to my plea" "'Cause if you do" "Then I'm all through" "There's this about you" "My world's an empty world without you" "It's you or no one" "She don't want no one" "It's you or no one for me" "Baby, you're the one for me" "l shouldn't have done that." "l won't report you to the Social Register." "I'm bored with it all, strictly entre nous." "I wish I didn't have to keep up appearances." "Oh, I'm tired of pretending too." "Let's both let our hair down." "Let's follow our impulses wherever they lead and make this a real vacation." "I think you've got something there." "May I?" "Of course."

"Head over heels, if you know what I mean." "Oh, Havana was heaven." "And all the time I had to pretend that who I was, I wasn't." "Then, this morning, what does he give me?" "The gate, hinges and all." "So here I am." "He thinks I'm married." "If I kiss him, I lose him." "On the other hand, if I tell him the truth, who will he hate most, a cheat or a phony?" "I know you're phony, and I don't hate you." "You don't know what it's like to want someone." "Don't I?" "Oh, well I guess I'll just have to bury myself in my work."

"Breeze, moon, stars." "And all working overtime." "Makes a man feel" "Wants a woman in his arms." "And vice versa." "lf only you weren't married." "How I wish I could tell you I wasn't." "How easy it would be if you weren't married, I'd take you in my arms." "Like how?" "Like this." "Then what?" "On your lips, I'd-- l'd plant a kiss." "Such as?" "But then you have a husband." "And you have principles." "Elvira." "Yes, Peter?" "Something I've gotta do." "I can't help myself." "Well, if you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself." "I gotta send a cablegram." "Another radiogram to be sent at once." "Send that one collect too." "You'll let me know how it comes out, won't you?" "Mrs. Kent, a message from Mr. Farrar."

I'm a grown man too, and I hope it gets worse." "This connection must be bad." "I can't understand what you're babbling about." "But whatever it is, do something to stop her." "I'm going crazy here." "Mr. Kent, I've been taking your money under false pretenses." "I'd advise you to give me my two weeks notice." "Goodbye." "Yes, Mr. Kent?" "Miss Medwick, get me my broker." "Call Randall. I want to check the changes in the routine shipping report." "Also get the wire that came yesterday concerning the Canadian merger." "Anything new, Humphrey?" "No, ma'am. lt all looks very businesslike and proper to me." "Let me for a minute." "Excuse me." "He's talking to her." "So she's going out of the room without even looking backward." "You can go to lunch, Humphrey." "After all these weeks, you'd think he'd give her a pinch or a pat." "On the shoulder, I mean." "You sound disappointed that he hasn't." "I think I'll see what else is happening." "Wait a minute." "You know, it's very irritating." "Here I give up a wonderful cruise to trap my husband and what happens?" "Nothing." "Just goes to show you can't trust men." "And that girl is having a perfectly wonderful time under my name." "I haven't heard a thing from her." "Who knows what's going on there." "Just goes to show you can't trust women either." "The best thing you can do, Elvira, is to get on the first plane to Rio." "What for?" "Then you can phone Michael to join you, and you can take the boat back together." "Half a cruise with a whole husband is better than no cruise with no husband." "Maybe you're right." "Come on, let's go." "Oh, and this one too." "You know what to do while I'm gone." "Yes." "The car is downstairs." "Your bags are in it." "Thank you. I'll be right with you." "Get some displays pushing hair tonic and triple malts." "Yes." "Miss Medwick, you'll pack those too." "If anything comes up, wire me at the Hotel Atlantico." "Yes." "Here's your briefcase." "Thank you." "And bon voyage." "We'll all miss you." "Thanks." "Where have you been?" "Hello." "I was seeing a lady friend of mine off at the airport." "You can see me off too. I'm leaving for Rio." "For Rio--?" "When?" "I have a chartered plane waiting." "is that as fast as going by regular airlines?" "Much faster. I want to get there as soon as possible." "Michael, you have company." "I'm going with you." "Oh, Michael." "Good, good, good." "But I'm not interested." "What can I do with that type of music in my show?" "Mr. Plinio, take my advice, as one musician to another, you need me." "Mr. Farrar, as one businessman to another, I can't afford you." "You can't afford me?" "Why, money's of the utmost indifference to me." "All I want is a chance to play." "That's not the point." "I'm spending a fortune to redecorate this place so I can reopen for the Carnival." "And to get my investment back, I need an attraction." "A real attraction." "I need someone with a name." "What do you think my mother gave me, a number?" "Let me play it again." "Very generous of you, but I can't use it." "That's what I admire about you, you have such an open mind." "Maybe you'd like it better if I set lyrics to it." "In your eyes" "It's magic I wish those amateurs would stop interfering with a serious musician." "Say, I know that voice." "Fantastic things begin" "When I am in your arms" "When we walk hand in hand" "She not only sounds good, she looks good." "Take it from me, that girl has all sorts of talent." "Do you want to sign her up?" "She could be the finest singer, but if she hasn't got a name...." "What do you mean?" "Why, that's Mrs. Elvira Kent one of the classiest society dames in New York." "Mrs. Elvira Kent?" "Why, when she came out, she made all the other debutantes look like social climbers." "A society singer." "Right, and very talented." "That would be something new." "Want me to talk to her?" "Oh, no." "You wouldn't know how to handle an important lady like that." "I'll...." "I'll talk to her." "Mrs. Kent, you will not be angry with me?" "Why should I be angry with you?" "I was about to offer you a contract to sing in my Casino Room." "Beg your pardon?" "I knew you would be offended, but it's a good proposition, $ 1 000 a week." "A thousand bucks--?" "Dollars." "For me?" "Of course, it's obviously nothing for a lady in your position..." "...but if I said a thousand, I can say 2500." "Are you kidding?" "Once you say 2500, it's not difficult to say 5000." "After you pay your taxes here and in United States, it will cost you very little." "I'll tell you what I'll do, Mr. Plinio, I'll sing for you for 1 000 a week." "What?" "But not as Elvira Kent." "Well, suppose I took another name." "Any name." "Let's say Georgia Garrett." "What's wrong with that?" "Listen, if you use a name like Georgia Garrett and sang like an angel even I could still shoot llamas in the balcony." "But if I had Mrs. Elvira Kent...." "Did I say 5000?" "I mean seven." "Okay. I'll do it." "Wonderful." "Wonderful." "It's no accident that I happen to have the contract right with me." "What a coincidence." "Here." "Senora, I predict that you are going to be the greatest attraction I ever had." "l know she will." "Thank you." "I'm sorry that your husband will not be here to see you." "Oh, I'm so sorry too, but he's such a busybody." "Goodbye." "See you later." "Goodbye." "How do you do?" "How do you do, sir?" "Where can I find Mr. Peter Virgil?" "Mr. Peter Virgil?" "I believe you'll find him in the Casino Room." "Thank you." "l'll stay here and register, you know." "Where's the house telephone?" "You may use this phone right here." "Mrs." "Michael Kent, please." "Mrs." "Michael" "Thank you, but what's the number?" "Three fourteen." "Why don't you rest for a while?" "l'm not tired." "Just excited and happy." "But by tonight you'll be slaphappy." "You're not used to this." "Take the advice of an old trouper." "While you can, go upstairs and catch forty winks." "I'll need 80 now." "Pardon me." "Mr. Kent. I didn't know that you were coming down here." "After that telephone conversation, where did you expect me to be?" "I'm glad you did come down." "I wanna explain the problem I'm facing." "All you need to explain is the meaning of this." "That just means that your wife has a wonderful voice." "My wife has a terrible voice and that's not all." "I didn't pay you to let her sing in a nightclub." "I was hired to shadow your wife." "To stop her from singing would have been extra." "What about that man?" "That other man?" "Well, I've almost finished a complete written report, Mr. Kent." "I don't want a written report, I want my wife." "Where is she?" "Well, she's around somewhere." "Oh, she's around somewhere." "A fine detective you are." "No, I'm gonna do the decent thing." "Your wife is in her room, Mr. Kent." "Go to her." "What?" "Maybe it was just being away from you." "Maybe she does really still love you." "Maybe it was the tropical skies." "Maybe it was just" "Tell me what you're raving about." "l don't know." "You what?" "Well, I mean, it hurts too much to talk about it." "Go to her, Mr. Kent." "It's the best thing for everybody." "Mrs." "Michael Kent is not in her room." "l saw Mrs. Kent step into the elevator." "Oh, the elevator." "Yes." "Where you going?" "Nowhere." "Say, what's the matter with you?" "Mrs." "Michael Kent's room, please." "ls Mrs. Kent expecting you?" "Well, what difference does that make?" "I'm Mr. Kent." "Room 31 4." "Thank you." "Come on." "You're welcome." "l said, come on." "Good, good, good." "I was going off duty in 1 0 minutes, but I think I'll stay." "Michael, I think it's better you go alone." "I don't want to spoil your nice reunion." "Going up, sir?" "Yes." "All right, uncle." "Hello?" "Yes." "Darling, I wanted to" "Oh, I beg your pardon." "I must be in the wrong room." "Really?" "If it was the right room, that's no way to open the door." "Yes, you're so right. I'm so sorry." "Would you like to play three-handed gin?" "That's all I need." "Come in." "Say, you gave me the wrong room number." "My wife isn't in 31 4." "I'm sorry, but she is, Mr. Kent." "But there's a strange girl up there." "You'd better look it up again." "Three fourteen is correct, Mr. Kent." "Rio is getting more like Paris every day." "Don't be so excited." "Now let me get this straight." "Mr. Kent is here?" "That's right." "Your husband." "lf we have a fourth, we can play bridge." "l've got to think." "You have no time." "You must leave immediately." "What's the matter?" "Bec-- Shut up, Oscar." "Michael, Michael." "Come, come, come." "Me and my ambition to travel." "Darling." "Darling, it's me, Michael." "Who are you and what do you want?" "lsn't this Room 31 4?" "That it is." "Isn't this Mrs. Michael Kent's room?" "Do I look like a Mrs. Michael Kent?" "I must be dreaming, I...." "Well" "Wasn't there a woman in this bed five minutes ago?" "l'm no blabbermouth." "Will you get out or--?" "Excuse me, sorry." "It must have been that plane trip I took." "My goodness, it's getting so that a man isn't safe around here at Carnival time." "Run along, run along." "All right, I'm sorry." "It was my mistake." "I didn't mean any trouble by it." "What are we gonna do now?" "He's sure to find out." "Put on some decent clothes." "I'll start packing." "That's right." "I will help you, darling, come." "Mr." "Lazlo." "l take off my glasses." "Come, come, come." "What is the number of Mrs. Kent's room, please?" "Three fourteen." "Who, may I ask, is calling?" "Mrs. Michael Kent, and I'll be back." "What if there is bloodshed in 31 4?" "We're going to do the whole third floor over anyhow." "I'm checking out." "ls there something wrong, Mr. Virgil?" "Yeah, everything." "Listen, Virgil." "What's the matter?" "I'm going crazy. I can't find my wife." "She's disappeared." "She probably couldn't face you." "For heaven's sake, what's this all about?" "l might as well tell you the truth." "I've fallen in love with your wife." "What?" "She's fallen in love with me." "What?" "The only thing I'm ashamed of is it was on your time." "Virgil." "Peter Virgil, you're fired." "Your bill, Mr. Virgil." "Mrs." "Kent." "A fine job you've done for me." "So I'm going to sing tonight, am I?" "Excuse me." "It seems I'm caught between two bags." "Oh, and I see the way you've taken care of my reputation." "Uncle Lazlo, you too?" "Yes, me too." "Well, I am surprised." "You are not surprised yet." "You will be surprised when I tell you that Michael is here too." "What?" "Yes." "Oh, what am I gonna do?" "l have a wonderful idea." "We will tell him that-- lt's not good." "No." "I just wanna find out who's in that bed now, that's all." "Darling!" "Oh, so you finally made it?" "Oh, Michael, I'm so glad you came." "It's been so lonely without you." "That's not the way I heard it." "Oh, I know all about your little escapades." "This Peter Virgil you're in love with happens to be a private detective." "I hired him to shadow you." "Everything you've done has been reported to me." "That's a lie." "How do you do?" "He is not a detective, and he hasn't met your wife." "You're back." "You can't deny there's something between you and Virgil." "He confessed everything before he checked out." "Checked out?" "Oh, I gotta go." "Say, what has she got to do with this?" "Michael, if l" "Elvira, you'd better tell me." "Tell me." "Michael, I can't" "Who are you?" "What are you doing here?" "Don't you think we've been seeing too much of each other?" "Elvira, what's the meaning of this?" "Uncle." "Why are you hiding in the closet?" "I will-- l will tell you." "It's awful." "There is such a hurly-burly in this Rio." "I was happy to find a quiet place." "Quiet place?" "Well, you're not gonna sing and that's final." "Shout all you want to." "They paid to see Mrs. Kent, and that's who they'll see." "Oh, no, they're not." "But, Michael, it'll be fun." "Why, I sang for the Milk Fund benefit, didn't I?" "Yes, and for two years after that, everyone was drinking their coffee black." "But, Oscar, the contract is illegal." "I said I was Elvira Kent." "You have Mrs. Kent's permission to use her name." "They can ask her." "Please, let's forget it." "No, you've gotta do it for the sake of your country." "If Elvira ever gets out there to sing, she'll set the good-neighbor policy back 20 years." "I suppose if I'm lucky, they'll take me back at the Club Casa." "Five shows nightly at 40 a week." "I can go back to haunting the travel bureau, piling up literature on places I'll never see." "If I'm lucky, I'll meet a man who won't pretend to be in love with me because it's his job." "Who are you to complain?" "If he's a phony that makes two of you." "You two should be very happy together." "He left thinking I was Elvira Kent." "I'll never know how he feels about Georgia Garrett." "Thank you." "Why, Mr. Virgil, I thought you went back to the States." "l was going, but I didn't." "l beg your pardon, sir." "Can I help it if I can't help it?" "Yes, sir." "Waiter, table for Mr. Virgil." "And now, it is my great pleasure to introduce to you the star of our show." "The beautiful New York society lady who will charm you with her singing Mrs. Elvira Kent." "Just a moment, please." "Ladies and gentlemen, I came here tonight with every intention of singing for you but first I'd like you to hear from a very good friend." "She dreamt for years of visiting your beautiful country and always wanted to sing in a glamorous place before a distinguished audience." "Will you give her that chance?" "Thank you very much." "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Georgia Garrett." "You sigh, the song begins" "You speak and I hear violins" "It's magic" "The stars desert the skies" "And rush to nestle in your eyes" "It's magic" "Without a golden wand" "Or mystic charms" "Fantastic things begin" "When I am in your arms" "When we walk hand in hand" "The world becomes a wonderland" "It's magic" "How else can I explain those rainbows" "When there is no rain?" "It's magic" "Why do I tell myself" "These things that happen Are all really true?" "When in my heart I know" "The magic is my love" "For you" "Oh, it's magic." "It sure is." "A fine detective I turned out to be." "I didn't do so well as a married woman either." "You need practice."
