" No." "Why isn't he traveling with you?" "Because he had to go to Texas on a big merger." "Ah." "He thought it'd be a good idea if I took a little trip while he consummated this big deal because I have no head for business." "It's beyond me how the more money a corporation loses, the more money it makes, because of the carryovers with the write-offs." "The big secret seems to be to merge a sick corporation with a big, fat, healthy one and then everybody gets well." "Silly, isn't it?" "He doesn't think I'm dumb, but he doesn't think I'm very bright about things like that." "Well, it isn't necessary, is it?" " Thank you." " That's all right." "Well, so he trusts you?" "Implicitly."

"I do hope it won't affect your ego because..." "No, please." "Please, don't think anything of it." "I'll just take my ego for a walk." "Unless, of course, you'd care to..." " Have dinner with you?"

"And when you were little, what did your nurse read to you at bedtime?" "Let me see..." "The Memoirs of Casanova?" "Every night, and then we'd turn out the light." ""We"?" "I was only so big." "You must've had a happy childhood." "Ah, yes." "And women?" "Oh, women." "You've known quite a few, haven't you?" "I don't know." "Or perhaps "few" is the wrong word." "Let's say it's not precise." "I beg your pardon, Signor Ferrante." "Would you like me to reserve this table for you every night?" "Why not?" "Thank you." "Now, where were we?" "And I suppose they've all been madly in love with you?" "I doubt it." "But you haven't had much respect for them." "On the contrary..." "Still, you've always been very fair in your judgments." "Yes." "I've been more than fair." "I idealize them." "Every woman I meet, I put up there." "Of course, the longer I know her and the better I know her..." "It's hard to keep them up there, isn't it?" "Yes, isn't it?" "Pretty soon, the pedestal wobbles and then topples." "C'est la vie, et cetera." "Come on." "Let's talk about you." "No, not tonight." "We'll talk about me some other time." "We've nothing planned for tomorrow." "Oh, I have." "Oh, no." "We'll talk about me tomorrow." "It turned out beautifully, didn't it?" "It's really warm." "Thank you." "Now, where were we?" "You were going to tell me where you were born." " That's right." "Well..." " Mr. Ferrante?" "Cablegram." "Thank you." "Excuse me, Miss McKay." " Miss McKay?" " Yes?" "Oh, I have one for you, too." "Oh." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "Excuse me, Mr. Ferrante." "From him?" "From her?" " Mmm-hmm." " Mmm-hmm." "Well, where were we?" "Well, I was about to tell you where I was born and I was born in Boston." "I can hardly wait for you to grow up." "Yes." "Well, be patient." "I grew up quickly." "Then I went to New York and got a job singing in a nightclub from 10:00 to 3:00 in the morning and the manager used to chase me around the office until about 4:00 and then... ( WHISTLES) I went home." " Did he ever..." " Oh, no, no." " No, no." " No." "Well, then one evening, he came along." " This is the fellow." " Mmm-hmm." "And he said," ""You don't belong in a place like this."" " Really?" " Mmm-hmm." "And I said, "I don't?"" "(LAUGHS)" "And well, then..." "Mmm?" " What?" " What "what?"" "I don't know, I thought you said something." " No, I didn't say anything." " Oh, I'm sorry." "But you're right, you know?" "He said I belonged in a penthouse on Park Avenue with a breathtaking view of the East River." "An ideal place for you to improve yourself." "Yes." "So, I studied hard." "Singing?" "And..." "And music and art and literature." "Mmm." "So that one day you'd make a perfectly charming wife." "Yes, that was the general idea." "Anything wrong with that?" "No, no, there's nothing wrong with it." "That's what I thought." "Well, that sort of brings us up-to-date." "Now my life is an open book." "That's only one page." "Well, that's the only page." "(BELL RINGING)" "I beg your pardon." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "No, no." "Bad, bad." "Wait a minute." "That's a very interesting camera." "May I see that?" "Oh, yes." "It's new, isn't it?" "Thank you." "Oh, please!" "Please, stop!" "That's unfortunate, isn't it?" "That was not very nice." "You shouldn't have done that." "I know." "You know, it's obviously no good, either of us being seen together." "Right or wrong, people will talk and so I guess it had better be good-bye." " That seems a pity." " Good-bye." "Well, what's the matter?" "Are you afraid?" " Of you?" " Yeah." "No." "Well, you know, we have several days to go on this voyage and I can't stand monotony." "Well, you can always take long walks in the sunshine." "What'll I do if it rains?" "(LAUGHS)" "No." "No, it's no good." "You mean, it's particularly no good for you." "Yes." "Being seen with you is news and I don't want to get my picture in the papers." "So, I'll go my way and you'll go yours." "Help!" "Help!" "Oh!" "Oh, here, let me..." "Oh, my Lord, he's heavy." "What's the matter?" "Are you in trouble?" "Yes." "Give me a hand." "He's a bit heavy." "Come on, chum." "I've got him." "That's right." "No, let it go." "Try it the other way around, Dad." "Oh, thank you." "That's..." "You're a great help." "Well, how'd you come to do that?" "I got..." "I got tangled up." "Mmm-hmm." "Couldn't get down, huh?" "Mmm-hmm." "Oh, you're quite a fella." "You're quite a fella yourself." "Yes?" "Why?" "Everybody on the ship's talking about ya." "No kidding?" "What are they saying?" "I don't know on account of every time they start talking about ya, they make me leave the room." "I don't get it." " You take over." " Mmm." "You know, you want to watch it, chum." "You might hurt yourself." "When I was little like you, I fell and broke my leg." "How is it now?" "It's all right, I guess." "Well, what are ya crabbing about?" "I'm not cra..." "I'm sorry." " Champagne cocktail, please." " Yes, sir." "Have you any cigarettes?" "The smoke room steward, sir." " Thank you." " This way." " Have you got pink champagne?" " Of course." "Let me try it."

"I changed my table to a table for one." "So did I." "Now, isn't that a shame after that delightful dinner we had together last night?" "And do you speak Gaelic?" "Fluently."

"It's like another world." "Mmm-hmm." "Well, it is." "It's my grandmother's world." "Do tell me more about her." "My grandfather was in the diplomatic service." "They traveled all over the world and when he retired, they came here to live." "He's buried there behind the chapel." "She stayed on to be near him."

"He has a big display up on the promenade deck." "He's doing a wholesale business." "Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Hathaway, we'll have to think about it." "Now, where could I find you?"

"ALL: (SINGING) There's a wonderful place" "Called Tomorrow Land" "Tomorrow Land" "And it's only a dream away" "Away" "And the moment you get" "To Tomorrow Land" "Tomorrow Land" "You'll forget all about" "Today" "You'll be walking on clouds" "You'll forget every care" "And your troubles like bubbles" "Will vanish in air" "Ask me how do you get" "To Tomorrow Land" "Tomorrow Land" "close your eyes, make a wish" "And you're there" "Close your eyes" "Make a wish" "And you're" "There" "You're going to do all right without me." "All right, children." "We must go now." "Good-bye, Terry." "Good-bye, Father." "Good-bye, darling." "Run along." "Merry Christmas!" "Bless you." "Be good now." "Oh." "Merry Christmas!" "Oh!" "Merry Christmas, darling!" "Merry Christmas!" "This isn't going to be much of a Christmas for you, is it?" "Oh, I'll be all right." "There we are." "Could you just hand me my..." "Yes, surely." "Thank you so much." "You're..." "You're welcome to have turkey with my husband and me." "Oh, you save a drumstick for me for later, will you?" "All right, I will." "And if there's anything else you want, just holler." "Thank you so much." "I will." "It was very sweet of you." "Merry Christmas." "And a merry Christmas to you, too." "Does Miss McKay..." "Nickie?" "Hello, Terry." "(STAMMERING) Oh, it's good to see you." "Oh, it's good to see you, too." "You feeling all right?" "(STAMMERING) Yes." "Yes." "I'm fine." "I'm just resting." "Good, good." "Good." "Well, it's been a long time." "Yes, hasn't it?" "Well, it is good to see you." "You said that." "May I..." "Oh, yes, please, do." "Sit down." "I'll only be a minute." "I'm sure you don't mind." "No, no, of course not." "Oh, is this the breathtaking view?" "Well, the altitude bothered me." "Yeah, yeah." "Well, I'll bet you're wondering how I got here." "Well, yes." "Yes, yes, I am." "Well, I was looking through a telephone book for a man named McBride." "And I came across the name T. McKay." "And I said to myself," ""Now, could that possibly be Terry McKay, my old friend?"" "And it was." "Yes, yes." "And then I said to myself," ""Well, now, I haven't been very nice to Miss McKay." ""After all, I had an appointment" ""with her one day, and I didn't keep it."" "You didn't keep..." "No." "Well, so I said to myself," "I talk to myself quite a lot these days," "I said, "Well, that's not a very nice way" ""to treat an old friend like Miss McKay." ""I must apologize to Miss McKay."" "Don't you agree when someone doesn't keep an appointment they should apologize, hmm?" "Yes." "Oh, yes, I think you're absolutely right." "I..." "Well,Ithink the least people could do is to say they're sorry or something." "So here I am." "That's very sweet." "I thought so." "I've often wondered about you." "And how you were." "Did you really?" "Yes, really." "Well, I've often thought about you, too." "Then you weren't angry because I wasn't there?" "I mean, you must have been at first." "Well, yes." "Yes, yes, I was." "At first, I was furious." "I said, "He can't do this to me." "Who does he think he is?"" "Hmm." "How long did you wait?" "I mean, did you wait long?" "Well, let's..." "Well, yes." "Yes, I waited until about..." "Midnight." "Oh." "And then what did you do?" "Well, then I got really mad." "Mmm." "Well, you can imagine, standing up there on the..." "Yes, in a thunderstorm." "In a thunderstorm." "Then what did you say to yourself?" "Well, then I said, "Go on home and get tight."" "But you didn't do that." "Didn't I?" "No." "Well..." "Maybe just a little one every hour for about a month." "Can you blame me?" "Oh, I should say not." "The least I could have done was to have sent you a note." "Well, perhaps by the time you thought of it, you didn't know where to reach me." "But you swore if you ever saw me again you'd ask." "No." "No." "I remember we said that if we could make it, we'd be there." "And if one of us didn't show up, it would be for a darn good reason." "Did we say that?" "Yes, that is exactly what we said." "Well, like what for instance?" "So, there'll be no more questions asked, I hope?" "Would you like a cigarette?" "(SIGHS) Thank you." "Thank you, Nickie." "Isn't that wonderful?" "I walked all the way here just to..." "And now I'm not even supposed to ask you why you weren't there." "Isn't it strange?" "We used to read each other's thoughts." "It's not the same, is it?" " Not quite." " Hmm." " It doesn't seem..." " I know." "I don't know what happens to me." "Whenever I..." "No wedding ring, I see." "No." "Well, I thought at the..." "Last night, the show?" "No, no." "He was just..." "No." "I didn't mean to offend you." "How's everything with you, Nickie?" "Oh, you can ask questions?" "Mmm-hmm." "Well, I thought everything was fine until I saw you last night." "Then I knew there must be something between us, even if it's only an ocean, so I bought myself a ticket." "Oh, you're sailing?" "Tonight." "And you're happy, aren't you?" "Yes, yes." "And you?" "I don't know." "I'm worried about the future." "I don't know what people will think." "They'll say, "There he goes, the mad painter." ""There's something the matter with him." "He doesn't like women."" " Why would people say that?" " Why?" "Because he sails the seven seas and to every woman he meets he says," ""Where will you be in six months?"" "And they're there?" "Everywhere." "Tops of pyramids, the domes of cathedrals, the Eiffel Tower." "He still tries to keep them up high." "He keeps them waiting." "Sure." "Waiting, waiting, waiting." "And where is he all this time?" "Waiting." "But you can't go on like that." "It isn't right for you." "I wish I could say you were wrong." "I was once." "How'd you like to change the subject?" "Yes, yes, I'd love to." "Merry Christmas." "Oh, I almost forgot." "Now, six months ago, who'd have thought we'd be spending Christmas together in front of a nice warm fire?" "I brought you a present." "Oh, thank you." "I'm sorry." "I don't have one for you." "I didn't think I'd be seeing you." "That's all right." "I didn't expect one." "That isn't really a Christmas present." "Oh, that's why my letters came back." "I would have sent it to you, but I didn't know your address until today." "She wanted you to have it, remember?" "So, well, that's the reason I..." "Good-bye, Terry." "Good-bye, Nickie." "You know, I painted you like that with the shawl." "I wish you could have seen it." "Courbet said it was one of my best." "I didn't think I could ever part with it." "But, well, there was no reason to keep it any longer, and..." "I couldn't take money for it, because, well, you know..." "So, Courbet told me a young woman came into the gallery, and she liked it." "She saw in it what I'd hoped you'd see, so I told Courbet to give it to her" "because he said she didn't have any money, and not only that, she was..." "She was..." "Anyway, I told him to give it to her." "Courbet said she wanted it so badly and so I told him to give it to her." "You know, it's the Christmas season and all that." "And you know me." "Holly in my heart." "Darling, don't look at me like that." "Why didn't you tell me?" "If it had to happen to one of us, why did it have to be you?" "Oh." "It was nobody's fault, but my own." "(SNIFFLING)" "I was looking up." "It was the nearest thing to heaven." "You were there." "Oh, darling, don't..." "Don't worry, darling." "If you can paint, I can walk." "Anything can happen." "Don't you think?" "Yes, darling, yes." "Yes, yes, yes." "CHORUS: (SINGING) Our love affair" "To remember" "ENGLISH" " US" " PSDH"
