"This is my last night." "Leaving us?" "Tch-tch-tch." "Would you mind autographing this for me?" "Where did you get my picture?" "From a little frame out by the door." "Oh, hold on, that's mine." "Oh, well, I'd prefer whenever you're smiling." " Do you, ever?" " Yes, when I'm amused." "You know, I think I could use you in my fall production." "I don't play animal-act." "No, really." "I'm putting on a Broadway show next season." "You're putting on your show right now, and it's a flop." "Wait a minute." "I'll meet you out front." "Hey."

" If you watch closely you'll see a young man make a quick change and get out." "Oh, you're quitting your job." "That, in substance, is the idea, major." "Commodore, Sir." "Commodore Jason T. Thatcher." "Commodore it is then." "If you'll just port your helm and bear slightly windward, I'll slip into these stripes." "I suppose you're going into a better business." "Show business." "Would you call that better?" "No, sir, I would not." "You are talking, sir, to a man who has given his life's blood to the theater." "There is no business so precarious" " 'so uncertain of rewards.' - 'But think of the fun.'" "My young friend, it's a wretched business at best." "It has nothing to offer a man without capital." "But I can get capital." "Eh, well, my boy, of course that puts a different face on the matter." "It always does." "Actually, the theatre offers a splendid opportunity to a man with a small amount of capital." "Ahem, now, by a strange coincidence, I happen to know of a play that's in production at this very minute in which a man could invest a few dollars and indubitably reap a small fortune." "Uh, I say, ah, young man." "Here, here." "Father, where have you been?" "Have you seen a young man that just changed his pants?" " His pants?" " Yes." "I had him right in the palm of my hand and lost him." "Confound the luck." "But you can see him some other time." " I've got to find him now." " Oh, father, but..." "Oh, there you are." "Daughter, I want you to meet one of my oldest and dearest friends, mister, uh-uh.." "Tyler, Douglas Tyler, I'm delighted Miss Thatcher." "How do you do?" "Ah, Mr. Tyler and I have a mutual affection, my dear." " The theater." " Oh." "Ah, shouldn't we be going, father?" "There's no hurry." "I was just about to ask Mr. Tyler up for dinner." "But we have such an early dinner." "Then we should get started, don't you think?" "Why, by all means." "Oh, look here now, Tyler, that's taking an unfair advantage." " There you are." " My guest you know." "Oh, I'm sorry, Commodore, I paid without thinking." "Well, it's a bad habit to get into." "Quarter's a bit down nothing elaborate you understand but cozy." "A little teaser to loosen us up a bit." "Thanks." "Now, let me see just when did you say this money would be available?" "Hmm?" "Money?" "Oh, the money." "Anytime." "Tell me, um, did Miss Thatcher go out?" "No, no, no, she's about somewhere." " Sit down, my boy." " Thanks very much." "Now, as I was saying, the production, Hooray For Love is taking on fine shape." "Fortunately, the producers are two of my oldest and dearest friends." "And, uh, ahem, I may be able to persuade the boys to part with a small piece of the show." "Mind you, I said I might be able to." "Chop's coming right along, my dear?" " Yes, in a moment, father." " Uh, may I?" " Thanks, I think I can manage." " Ah.." "Charming girl, your daughter." "Nice of you to go to all this trouble for me." "Oh, anything to make you happy." "(Tyler) 'It's a special ambition of mine to feature you' 'in my first production." "Or did I tell you.'" "(Patricia) 'Yes, I think you did.'" "Sorry, I'm already rehearsing in a play." " What kind of a play?" " A musical called Hooray For Love, if you must know." "Ooh, Hooray For Love." "Good show?" "(Patricia) 'Surely not as good as the one you'll produce, but it'll do.'" "Huh, hot." "Careful, not too much salt." " You don't like salt?" " Hate salt." "You forgot this little corner over here." "Thank you." "Tell me, uh, is the young one mine?" "How did you guess?" "Mr. Ganz, do you recall telling me the other afternoon when my daughter was rehearsing that you could use some additional money?" "Whether you like it or not, you'll be in my fall production." " Bet you my high head I won't." " It's a bet." "Ganz, I've got your man." "Shrubbery and ground's all in good shape." " What rent is it bringing in?" " Just enough to pay the taxes." "But it's a valuable property." "Surely, you could loan me 15,000 on it." "You know, Douglas it was father's wish that you keep the place." "Yes, I know." "I hate to take a chance on losing it, it's all I have left." "But I've got to have the money." "But the theater business is an outright gamble." "Anything is a gamble to a fellow who doesn't know his oats." "But I think I know something about the theater." "There's a wide difference between college plays and Broadway productions." "But one has to start somewhere, and there doesn't seem to be any room for me at the bottom." "So I'll start at the top." "Alright, take your positions, girls." "Music." "[piano music]" "Come ahead." "Wait a minute, where's Gambarelli?" "She's supposed to enter with her father." "(male #1) 'She's coming.'" "Well, tell her to hurry up, Mr. Ganz is waiting." "I'm afraid you won't get much idea of the number this way." "We expect it to be one of the highlights of the show." "Chowsky, explain how you're putting it on." "With pleasure, Mr. Ganz." "The setting is a magnificent art saloon with terrific big pictures all around, very lovely." "Gambarelli is coming with her father to sell his paintings." "I see." "Visualize it, Tyler." "With beautiful costumes and a full orchestra."

"Splendid!" "What do you think of it now, Tyler?" "Uh, shouldn't Miss Chummy appear for Mr. Tyler's benefit?" "You see, uh, Judge Peterby owns a small piece of the show." "I've contributed, not only in the shape of money but also in the shape of, uh, Miss Chummy." " Like it?" " It looks pretty good." "We have enough capital for a good show but we wanna put on a great show." "Your 15,000 would allow us to do it." "Hmm, well, I feel it needs certain changes." "Now, the Bill Robinson number." "I think if you played that in a street in Harlem, you'd get more out of it." "Good idea, we'll use it." "Right Grady?" "Right." "Miss Chummy brings a new personality into the theater." "Uh, my advice would be to accept the boys' generous offer, Tyler." "You don't have to sell me, Commodore." "All I wanna know is, will I have a voice in the production?" "As a partner, you'll have as much to say as Grady and myself." "They've adopted a little idea of mine, Tyler." " Let's sign the papers." " You're using good judgment." "We'll go right up to the office." "Alright, we can rehearse Miss Chummy now." "Aah!" "(Commodore) Mr. Ganz, Mr. Ganz?" "We may as well adjust our little business now." "The understanding was that I was to receive 10% if you recall." "Uh, 10% of the show." "No cash, Commodore." "Oh, but confounded, sir, I insist upon the cash." "I'm not putting money into plays at my age." "Well, if you'd prefer $1500 to a possible fortune it's alright with me, Commodore." "Uh, Regan?" "Yes, Mr. Ganz." "Has Bryson called about the ticket buy?" " 'Bryson?" "'" " Yes." "He was to call and make an offer for a block of seats for six weeks." "Uh, let me see, um 300 seats at four dollars, uh, $1200." "Multiplied by eight, uh, $9600." "Multiplied by six roughly, uh, $58,000, uh..." "Pardon, pardon me, Mr. Ganz." "On, ahem, on second thought" "I may take an interest in the show for my percentage." "I'm not in need of cash at the moment and it may offer me a bit of diversion." "Well, now you're talking." "Come along, Commodore we'll fix you right up." " Are you alright?" " Mm-hmm." "Oh, I feel fine." "You see, Trixie, now that this young Tyler has brought more money into the play" "I shall arrange for you to have more to do." " And you may become a star." " A real star?" "A great star." "Possibly as big as-as a planet." "Well, where is she?" "Where's Miss Chummy?" "Well, I've called her twice, she's over there with the judge." "Tell everybody else to go home, I'll attend to her." "Okay." "Alright, Miss Chummy we'll go through that new number you've been telling me about." " I brought my own piano player." " You wouldn't trust ours, heh?" "Yes, but he knows all my routines." "He does, huh?" "Mm-hmm." "[wailing]" "Listen, being that it's a new number today just for the sake of novelty, please try to sing the same notes what he plays." " Alright, ahem." " Music." "[clears throat] [falsetto singing]" "What have you got in your mouth?" "Firecrackers?" "Must you give out with that shrill gargling?" "Well, I'm a dramatic coloratura." "Coloratura?" "Music." "[piano music]" "* Fluttering chirping birds of spring *" "* Come back to your home in the north and sing * [falsetto singing]" "What do you think you're doing now?" " 'Singing.'" " Who told you?" "Here, here, none of that." "Give the little girl a chance." "Remember, Rome was not built in a day." "Please, please." "Not too close to the artist." "My dear Miss Chummy, straighten out your tonsils and try to..." "Mr. Chowsky, I can't sing if the atmosphere isn't cogelial." " The atmosphere isn't what?" " Cogelial." "Not only sings a broken melody but speaks a broken English." " Music." " Winter." "* Winter has passed, oh winter no more *" "* So way up in the sky you can soar, can soar * [yodeling]" "* All is such a.." "* And you are free" "* To build your nest." "Wait a minute." "What's that business with the tangled digits?" "I'm building a nest, you see it's all symbolical." "I see." " Music." " Flying." "* Flying and floating rest on your wing *" "* Just joy and happiness around you bring * [piano music]" " Do you have to dance also?" " I gotta show my versatility." "That's versatility, huh?" "Yes, you can never tell what I'll develop into." "You should only develop into double pneumonia." "Here, here, here." "Sweetheart, is he annoying you?" "Well, no." "No one beneath me could hurt me and no one above me would hurt me." "What a beautiful sentiment." "Now, you let her finish." "Music." "Cooing." "* Cooing, billing birds of spring *" "* Come back each year and sing and sing *" "Cooing and billing birds of spring, come back and..." "Pardon me, something is bothering you?" " I forgot the words." " That's fine." "* Oh that is what he taught me to.. *" "* Spreading sunshine and gladness *" "* And teaching lessons of love" "* Fluttering, chirping birds of spring * [yodeling]" "[yodeling continues]" "What a lovely pizzicato." "To you, that's a pizzicato." "To me, that's a pizzinati." "I know, music." "[yodeling]" "All my life, I've looked forward to America." "I suffered fire, floods, pestilence, and starvation to get here." "And when I arrive, what does America give me?" " A hillbilly." " Oh." "Now, you see what you've done?" "I warn you." "Any more insults, and I take my money and Miss Chummy out of this production." "Wait, to compromise, just take out Miss Chummy." "Ignoramus." "Hold it." "(Douglas) Stand right where you are." "No, I mean Miss Thatcher." "Mm-hmm, in something of silk." "Hurry up." "Get to the funny part so I can laugh." "The funny part is, I've won your high hat." "Off with it please." "Tell me more." "You are now talking to one of your employers." "The young man with a fall production, remember?" "Oh, yes, that is funny." "Where would you get money to put into a show?" "Well, young lady, I'll tell you." "The only thing ahead was the old homestead in Connecticut." "So I put a plaster on it." "You trying to tell me you mortgaged something to buy into this show?" "Any law against it?" "Did my father talk you into this?" "The old gentleman with a lovely daughter?" "(Patricia) Answer my question." "Well, being my oldest and dearest friend he was kind enough to introduce me to the producers." "'Ah, just a minute.'" " You owe my a high hat." " Sue me?" "Oh, hello, my dear." "Just sitting here anticipating a few small profits." "Your rehearsal go well?" "Father, you got him to put everything into this show." "But, my dear, I did him a great favor." "The show unquestionably will be a tremendous success." "I know you expect it, but what if it isn't?" "Well, I didn't mean any harm." "I didn't know you were interested in him." "I'm not interested in him." "But why do you do such things?" "But, my dear, I was just trying to earn a small pittance." "At somebody else's expense." "Well, I've done the wrong thing again I suppose." "I know I haven't been much of a father to my little girl." "More or less of a reprobate I guess." "No tragics, father, please." "Oh, I'm an old rascal, and it's a fact." "I've been a burden to you all your life." "But it isn't to late to right matters." "I shall square everything with one magnificent gesture." "'Though it means putting my head in the pillar, eh.'" "I shall do it." "Father, what are you talking about?" "I'll marry the duchess." "You're not going into that duchess routine again." " This time, I mean it." " She's a very nice woman." "A little kittenish perhaps, but you'd be lucky to get her." "But then, you wouldn't marry anyone you think too much of your freedom." "No man should ever marry a woman unless he can't do without her." "And I can do without the duchess." "So that's out." "Well, one thing remains." "From now on, I shall stand on my own feet." "[thumps cane]" "[orchestral music]" "[music continues]" "[melodious piano music]" "* You're an angel" "* You're so understanding" "* Think of heaven handing me" "* A dream like you" "* You're an angel" "* You're an inspiration" "* What a combination" "* You're a sweetheart too" "* Makes no difference where I look *" "* You're all I see" "* Close as pages in a book" "* That's how we'll be" "* For" "* When you taught me" "* What my heart was made for *" "* I got what I prayed for" "* You're an angel *" "Very lovely.." " Like it?" " You're amazing." "Produce plays, direct, write songs, even sing them." "Well, think of my an inspiration." "Regan, where's Mr. Ganz?" "He and Mr. Grady are in Atlantic City, Judge arranging for the opening." "Don't worry, my pet." "If Chowsky won't rehearse you today" "I shall have him discharged." "[whistling]" "Can't you see I'm busy?" "The Judge wants to talk to you." "Pardon me." "What are we going to do about this Chummy individual?" "We can't allow her to sing." "The minute she opens her mouth, the ushers will open the doors." "That's where you're wrong, Chowsky she'll be the biggest laugh in the show." " But she takes it seriously." " The audience won't." "Tell her her number's in." "[sighs]" "Go on." "Alright, dearie, let's try it." "Start from the first." "[piano music]" "* Never felt so humbler to me" "* So completely awed I couldn't speak *" "* Never knew a heart could beat this way *" "* When we meet this way" "* Can I help" "* But say" "* You're an angel" "* You're so understanding" "* Think of heaven handing me" "* A dream like you" "* You're an angel" "* You're an inspiration" "* What a combination" "* You're a sweetheart too" "* Makes no difference where I look *" "* You're all I see" "* Close as pages in a book" "* That's what we'll be" "* For" "* When you taught me" "* What my heart" "* Was made for" "* I got what I prayed for" "* You're" "* An angel" "* Dear." "And so, my dear duchess." "Tomorrow, I may be in possession of the city and its treasures." " A theatrical titan." " Not really, Commodore." "Success is in my very grasp." " Confounded flies." " Tell me about it." "I have invested practically everything I have in a theatrical venture which is certain to make millions." "Millions, duchess." "Do you know, Commodore, since you've called me duchess when others address me as Mrs. Schultz." "I positively shudder." "Yes, I can understand that." "Now, as I was saying..." "But let's not talk anymore of money." "There are so many more important things." " Name one." " Well, happiness." "There are times when I feel I could trade all my wealth for just a sip from the cup of dreams." "For a cottage, small, by a waterfall." "You're so understanding." "Uh, tell me, what is your opinion of the privileges of love?" " I'm in favor of them." " I mean.." "Do you think a woman in love is privileged to speak her mind?" "How can you stop them from doing it?" "Pardon, my dear, I feel the need of a cigar." "[jazz music]" " The check." " Uh, yes, ma'am." "I'll take care of it." "[music continues]" " You may keep the change." " Thank you." "We must go now, my dear, pressing business engagement at the theater." "Waiter, check if you please." "Never mind, I paid." "My dear duchess, why are you always paying the check?" "It's deuce and embarrassing." "Anybody think we were married." "Oh, Commodore, what are you saying?" "Oh, come, come, we must be dashing." "[engines revving]" "Taxi." "[car honking]" "Drop you at the theater, Commodore?" "No, my dear, just a bracer from here." "I shall call for you opening night and escort you to what no doubt will prove to be one of my greatest successes." "Until then, au revoir, my dear." " Set right, cabbie." " Bye, goodbye, Commodore." " Ah, Chowsky." " Please, Mr. Commodore." "Ah, what's the trouble, what's up?" "I'm going to drown myself in a sea of vodka." "Pleasant death, any particular reason?" "Particular reason?" "It is the end of Chowsky." "Read that." "You know, I'd like to say something big and brave right now but.." "I can't think of a thing." "How about this?" "(Patricia) 'You may be down but not out.'" "Sharp one." "Well." "There's, um.." ""They think they have me licked, but I'll show 'em."" "Here's one." ""In the fell clutch of circumstance" ""I have not winced nor cried aloud." ""Under the bludgeonings of fate my head is bloody, but unbowed."" "Magnificent!" "You display a bit of histrionic talent there, my boy." "You should have been an actor." "Of course, I perform best in my native surroundings." " You know, the open fields." " Oh, I hate the country." " I'm afraid of wild flowers." " Yes." "I've heard that one." "Tell me, were you ever born in a big white house surrounded by a high green hedge?" "With an orchard, a patch of woods and a natural spring." " 'Yes.'" " No." "What?" "No big house with little thatches growing all around it?" "There's nothing like going out in the morning and picking yourself a nice fresh bunch of thatches." "Boy, am I glad I got rid of that house." "And now, you haven't a care in the world." "No." "If this hadn't happened I'd never discover what a sap I am." "Oh, yes, you would." " I would have told you." " Yes, I suppose so." "We won't have to put up with each other any longer, will we?" " Yes." " I was afraid of that." "Now let's see." "No house, no show, no prospects." "Don't I get anything out of this?" "[clears throat]" "Might just as well smoke a doormat." "You don't happen to have a new cigar about you, do you, Tyler?" "I'll, uh..." "I'll walk out and get you one, Commodore." " Uh, no, no, no, don't go." " 'It's alright.'" "I feel the need of a short walk anyway." " I don't want to trouble you." " No trouble at all." "Doug." "Yes." "You know, this is only the beginning of all." "Patricia, it was hardly my fault." "No one could have foreseen that Ganz and Grady would..." "But you didn't know those men." "You did it for what you get out of it." "With his interest at heart." "I felt it provided an opportunity for him." "I really did." "You have my word, dear." "Your word." "What good is your word?" "What's he gonna do now?" "He's lost everything he had." "No great amount of money, Patricia." "Oh, it isn't the money, father." "He had dreams." "They're gone, perhaps... perhaps even his faith in himself." " Everything." " But the boys is young." "I'll think of something." " I'll find a way to help him." " Oh, don't talk to me." "I don't wanna hear any more alibis." "I don't wanna see you." "Oh, I didn't mean that." "I don't know what I mean." "Well, I understand." "I-I have failed you." " But if I could make amends.." " Oh, what could you do?" "I might be able to arrange backing." "So he could go on with his production." "Father, where would you get any money?" "I'll get it... someplace." "[ship horn blowing]" "Jason, when is the captain going to marry her?" "As soon as we're upon the high seas." " You have the license?" " Right here in my pocket." "Though I understand, we won't need it." "While we are waiting, couldn't we go some place and snuggle?" "Snuggle?" "Yes, I believe it is customary." "I suppose we go on the deck and into the matter comfortably." "I'll get my wrap." "There we are, my sweet." "Bermuda." "We'll ride bicycles and everything, won't we?" "I myself prefer a horse and the open range." "With the vine fanning my cheeks." "And the stars for me guide." "What was that, Jason?" " What was what?" " What you just said." "I don't know, my dear." "I'm afraid I wasn't listening." "[ship horn blowing]" "The pilot boat." "I must get this letter off, my dear." "You'll pardon me." "You'll hurry back, won't you, Jason?" "I'll be back before you can say abracadabra." "Abracadabra." "Have you tried the cut-rate ticket brokers?" "I've tried everyone." "Everywhere." "Nobody wants to put money into a show with a black eye." " Oh, if father only had..." " Your father isn't responsible." "I went into the show because I liked it."

"Here you got an apartment, right smack on the corner with the highest ceiling in Harlem." "'Look at that electric light.'" "'Why, you even got running water.'" "Ah-h, child, with that smile you got everything." "'Why, you're the richest gal in Harlem.'" "What do you care about being outdoor?" "What will I do when it rains?"

" Oh, no, please." " Yes, sir." "Your scenery and costumes are no good." "They're made for this." "They can't be used for others." "We'll decide that." "Look, if you let us open, you can collect the money every night, until all your bills are paid." "If we let Tyler get away with this every shoestring producer on Broadway would try this trick." "But it wasn't his fault." "He didn't do it deliberately." "He had no idea payment would be stopped on that check." "This means everything to him." "You must give him a chance." "[indistinct chattering]" "What is going to happen?" "A whole house full of people out there and no money to give them back." "And who's got to tell them?" "You know who, me, Chowsky." "Why did I ever learn to speak English?" "This is the first show I ever saw that closed twice before it opened once." "I'm being tortured and you're soliloquizing."
