"The entire economy of Pennsylvania Avenue has been affected." "I'm told they drive up and down the avenue while she shouts greetings to passersby." "Well, perhaps they're lonely."

"Think nothing of it." "Once took 20 times that just to warm J.J.'s backside." "Besides, this here is our home now and we wanna belong." "Gotta keep up with Mrs. McGraw." "How much did you?" "How much did you kick in, Gladys?" "Well, as a matter of fact, I..." "I haven't made my contribution yet." " You haven't?" " No." "What's the matter with you, Gladys?" "You got plenty, I hear." "Now, Roberts!" "Dinner is served, madam." "Thank you." "Shall we?" "Mrs. McGraw regrets that there isn't room at the table for two more." "She hopes you will excuse her." "Well, we just popped in." "Tell her it was great meeting her and not to give the Browns a second thought." "Yes, madam." "I'm sorry you aren't staying, but I assume you had other plans." "Oh, yes." "We're pretty busy." "You go on inside before your supper gets cold." "Good night, and may God go with you." "See you in church." " Come on." " Wait." "Wait." "Oh, I just gotta see how they do." "Come on." "Ain't that pretty?" "Why, there's plenty of room at that table." "It sure smells good, Gladys." "Eat hearty, folks!" "Come on, Molly." "Come on." "Wasn't that fine?" "All them beautiful people." "Everything trimmed so gorgeous and the people is trimmed too." "The good Lord outdid Hisself on Pennsylvania Avenue and we're right smack in the middle of it." "Did you have a good time?" "Had more fun in Leadville by accident than they have on purpose." "They're cold fish." "Oh, no, that's dignity, Mr. Brown." "Dignity." "And we're gonna get us some." "They could've made room for us." "Well, howdy." "Howdy, Shamus." " Howdy, folks!" " She knows my name." "I know plenty." "Come in." "Come in, you pretty thing." " Evening." " Evening." "We're having a bite to eat." "Come in." "Thank you, kindly." "How about a dish of stew?" "I'd rather have a beer." "That was sure a dreary party, wasn't it?" "Was you there?" "No, but I was watching." "I'm Mrs. McGraw's ma." "Howdy, Mrs. McGraw." "Not Mrs. McGraw." "Grogan." "Me daughter, Gladys, married a McGraw but I'm Mrs. Grogan." "Buttercup Grogan." "How come you ain't at the party?" "Ain't never invited to Gladys' parties." "She keeps me hid upstairs." " Hid?" " When she's company." "She's the leader of Denver society." "That ain't a nice way to treat you." "I don't mind." "Them friends of hers with their pinkies up ain't my kind of folks." "Well, it's sure good to be here." "Took me a little time to get up the nerve to come." "What are you going to do about it?" "About what?" "About Gladys and the way she gave you the brushoff." "It wasn't neighborly, and that's a fact." "There wasn't any room at the table." "Bull sugar!" "Gladys is giving you the treatment." "Don't you let her." "Mol doesn't need Mrs. McGraw." "Yes, she does." "You're living here." "You've got to belong." "But Denver's giving you the go-by." "'Tis true." "We get pretty lonesome around here." "Hold your tongue." "We're doing fine." "We ain't doing fine." "You ain't going about it right." "You can't just yell "hello" to folks in the street." "You must invite them formal to your house, with printed invitations." "A party!" "With invitations printed in gold!" "That's the ticket!" "We'll give the biggest hellbender of a party Pennsylvania Avenue ever seen!" "A flaming toot!" "A randy Dan!" "With a band playing music, like at Mrs. McGraw's, only bigger and louder!" "Come on back, chickapen." "If anybody wants to come, they'd know for sure this is where the Browns live." "Hell, you got it writ on everything from the weathervane to the hitching post." "Now, come on." "It's after 10:00." "I'm sorry it turned out like this, Molly." "I bet you it was Gladys what gave you the axe." "I should've known." "I'm walking Buttercup home, Mol." "Good night, Buttercup." " Good night, Molly." " Thanks for coming." "I'm sorry there ain't no party, Monsignor." "Sit down a minute, Molly, Johnny." "I guess the Sacred 36 just don't want no part of us." "This is not New York or Paris." "Denver society is only in its second generation." "The veneer is thin." "Now, true aristocrats might accept you but here, you're a painful reminder of where they came from." "You're unschooled, and you're full of unharnessed enthusiasm." "Denver isn't sophisticated enough to appreciate that." "We should've stayed in the hills where we belong." "May I make a suggestion?" " Shoot, Father." " Take a trip." "A nice, long tour of Europe." "You'll enjoy it, and you'll acquire a little polish." "Polish?" "Like what?" "Learn something about art and music." "Learn manners." "Get a smattering of languages." "All that just to show Mrs. McGraw?" "Go ahead, Father." "I'm learning already." "I've said enough." "I think you understand." "I'll say good night now." "Thanks for the advice." "You're right." "We sure are ignorant." "But we're gonna get schooled and harnessed and be second-generation if it kills us." "It won't." "Good night, Molly." "Good night." "Thanks again." "Look at it." "Ain't it beautiful?" "Pennsylvania Avenue I'll admit, you gave me a nosefull of splinters but it's all good wood from the very best doors." "Come on, Mol." " Now we're going back to Leadville." " Never." "We ain't staying where we're not wanted." "Johnny, I can't go back to Leadville." "We gotta go one way or the other." "Ahead is better than back." "I know what's back there." "Ahead is something new." "Maybe better, maybe not." "But I gotta find out." "We don't belong in Europe." "They'll split their satin britches laughing at us!" "I'll never say no to you" "I mean it, Mol." "Whatever you say or do" "We ain't going." "Today is tomorrow" "If you want it so" "We're going back where we belong." "I'll stay or I'll go" "But I'll never say..." "We'll go down to hell and back if you like." "I love you, Johnny." "Now, Mr. Brown." "We're gonna learn to read and write" "In French!" "We're gonna see what there is to see" "In French!" "For every one step backward We'll go two steps forward" "Till we stake us a claim on dignity" "In French!" "You hear that, Mrs. McGraw?" "The Browns are having a party!" "And we ain't down yet!" "We got a new friend." "Guess what?" "He's a real live prince." "Oh, ain't that something!" "Because look what I got." "And she's a grand duchess." "Howdy." "Howdy?" " Well, howdy." " Howdy, madame." "You two know each other." "Ain't that nice?" "Molly, dear, you are funny." "Here, I'm funny." "In Denver, I'm vulgar." "I guess it's like here, you eat snails." "At home, we step on them." "She has finally learned to eat snails." "With this sauce, you could eat erasers." "Thank you." "I can't find words." "And you know that's unusual for me." "I want you to know I appreciate how sweet you've been to I and J.J." "J.J. And me." "Me and J. J?" "Well, anyway, as we say, merci beaucoup!" "The candles, Molly." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Many happy returns, Molly." "You Frenchies sure are a kissy bunch of bananas!" "It's because we love you." "You've been a breath of fresh air in our world." "I'm a bag of wind, all right." "No, darling, it's true." "You're a stimulant to all of us." "You like everybody and everything." "I'm interested in everything because I don't know nothing." "That's not true, Molly." "But I'm learning." "I'm really learning." "I can sit through the opera without going to sleep." "Here you are." "And I can paint a bowl of fruit that'll draw flies." "And I can say "hello" and "how much" in 10 different languages." "Hell, I'm just a hog for knowledge." "Molly, what did Johnny give you for your birthday?" "Something real sweet." "With a lot of sentiment attached." "$300,000 in cash and a box of matches." "He told us how you burnt the money in your little stove." "Belly up, belly up to the bar, boys" "Better loosen your belts" "Only drink when you're all alone" "Or with somebody else" "Somebody else" "It wasn't nice to stay away from my birthday party." "You went without me." "I left early with the grand duchess to arrange the place cards." "You said you'd join us." "I didn't think I'd be missed, not with the prince there." "In case you don't know it, and I think you do, he's gone on you." "So what if he is?" "That's the way in Europe." "You're in a mood." "I am." "You've been in a mood for days." "I sure have." "I'm going plumb crazy." "It ain't the prince." "I know that ain't serious." "It's just that I've had culture up to here." "Drunk tea till my eyes are bubbly and wine till I'm woozy." "I can't get the hang of their lingo and their manners." " I'm homesick." " Do I get to talk?" "All the time!" "I got something to..." "Ladies first, Mr. Brown." "I just wanted you to know I thought it was time we went home." "Well, that's what I was gonna say." "You ain't fooling me?" "Colorado!" "Home!" "I'll get tickets tomorrow." "You'd better get about 10 of them." "Ten of them?" "I invited the crowned heads of Europe to be our guests." "I promised the grand duchess and the prince we'd show them Denver." "They have to bring along their friends." "Because royalty don't even go to the shed unescorted." "You showing off Denver to the crowned heads or the crowned heads off to Denver and Mrs. McGraw?" "Mrs. McGraw?" "I wouldn't give a widow's wart for Mrs. McGraw." "Molly Brown, you're either lying to me or to yourself." "When will you stop trying to be her?" "You ain't got it in you." "I could be anything I want." "Maybe." "I like the old Molly best." "Well, that's too bad, J.J." "Because the old me ain't..." " isn't no more." "I've had a grand time putting the new me together." "I'm sorry you don't take to us because you paid the bills." "And I'm gonna keep right on paying them, chickapen." "I love you with a heart and a half." "We got dignity and culture We can parler français" "We've spent a million dollars On the rue de la Paix" "But none of that'll matter Once we're on our way to" "Colorado, our home" "Colorado" "Our  home" "Howdy, everybody." "Welcome." "Glad to see you're here at last." " Good evening." " Good evening, Mrs. Brown." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" " Thank you for coming." " I'm happy to be here, dear." "Good evening, Father." " You look beautiful." " Thank you." "They're all here this evening." "Good evening, I..." "Good heavens, look at this place." "It's frightening." "What period would you call it?" "I'd call it the "Reign of Terror."" "A touch of red might help." "She likes red." " Good evening, Roberts." " Good evening." "I figured I needed him more than you did." " Welcome, Gladys." " Thank you." "You know Mr. Broderick, of course." "I don't know as I do." "Then let me introduce you to one of your guests." "This is Mr. Malcolm Broderick of the Denver Record." " How do you do, Mr. Broderick?" " How do you do?" "You're the society writer." "I used to read your society talk every day." "Thank you, Mrs. Brown." "I hope you found it interesting." "No, but it was good practice for my reading." "I see." "And how do you find Denver after being away so long?" "I don't know, mon ami, but I'm going to find out." "One thing's for damn sure we ain't putting up with no Rocky Mountain rudeness." "We're second-generation now." "May I quote you?" "Bet your bottom." "Write it all down." "And talk about your Sacred 36." "Wait till you take a look at my royal flush!" "Now, Roberts." "Shall we?" "His Highness, Prince Louis de Lanière!" "The Count and Countess Ferranti!" "How do you do?" "Baron IKarl Ludwig von Ettenburg!" "What a beautiful painting." "Is it one of yours, my dear?" "Yes, Herr Baron." "I have one of Mrs. Brown's paintings hanging in my Schloss." "That's his castle on the Rhine." " How do you do, Mrs. McGraw?" " How do you do?" "Do you paint, my dear?" "What a pity." "Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess Elise Lupovinova!" "You're supposed to curtsy, Gladys." "She's a royal highness." "Molly, dear, I've been admiring your magnificent piano." "I hope you'll play us some Chopin later on." "Do you play, Mrs. McGraw?" "No, Duchess..." "Your Highness..." "Your Royal..." "Sorry." "What a pity." "Mrs. Buttercup Grogan!" "Hello, Gladys." "Surprise, surprise!" "Ladies and gentlemen these are our amis from Leadville." "Amis, hell." "These are our friends!" "Standing here is Christmas Morgan Sings in the choir and pumps the organ" "If I should yell, "I'm a-drownin', Morgan!"" "He'd come charging' in" "He's my friend And he'll stay my friend" "Doesn't matter what The other people say" "He's my friend To the bitter end" "Even though the bitter end's A million years away" "Call him Tobin or call him Shamus" "Beat him in a fight And you'll be famous" "If I should yell, "They got me, Shamus!"" "He'd come charging' in" "He's my friend And he'll stay my friend" "Doesn't matter what The other people say" "He's my friend To the bitter end" "Even though the bitter end's A million years away" "This lass is my good friend Buttercup Makes me heart go flip and flutter up" "Talk behind my back to Buttercup She'll come charging' in" "She's my friend And she'll stay my friend" "Doesn't matter what The other people say" "She's my friend To the bitter end" "Even though the bitter end's A million years away" "Denver ladies next to a duchess Sashay like they're walkin' on crutches" "If anyone bothers this here duchess I'll come charging' in" "She's my friend And she'll stay my friend" "Doesn't matter what The other people say" "She's my friend To the bitter end" "Even though the bitter end's A million years away" "The most extraordinary thing in town" "Is the perfectly charming Molly Brown" "And if anyone dares to presume To display a disparaging frown" "They'll have me to reckon with" "And me" "And me" "And me" "She's my friend And she'll stay my friend" "Doesn't matter what The other people say" "She's my friend To the bitter end" "Even though the bitter end's A million years away" "Shocking!" "It's a dance for a bawdyhouse." "My dear, that's the way she earned her living in Leadville." " Mother!" " Shut up, Gladys!" "Timber!" "Please stop!" "Well, at last this place looks lived in." " Good morning, Mr. Tobin." " Morning." "Molly sure knowed what she was doing when she made this place red." "The blood don't show." "You're a better man than I thought, Mr. Roberts." "You did fine last night." "Thank you very much, sir." "It's dreadful!" "Simply dreadful!" "Your Mr. Broderick isn't a reporter." "He's an ignorant, spiteful barbarian." "But it's lies." "All lies." "Everybody knows the Merry Christmas Saloon ain't no fancy-house." "The things he quotes me saying." "All those blanks that stand for bad words." "Well, I guess I did let a couple go." ""'One thing's for blank sure,' said Mrs. Brown." "'We ain't putting up with no blank-blank Rocky Mountain rudeness.'"" "And worst of all, it ain't even on the society page." "It's on the sports page!" "It isn't only Broderick, Molly." "It's all of your Sacred 36." "They've sent flowers and invitations to Louis, to me and to the others but nothing for you and Johnny." "I've never known such uncivilized behavior." "Things were pretty uncivilized here last night." "But it wasn't your fault." "Louis and I think we should go home as soon as possible." " Yes." " All of us." "You've outgrown Denver." "You cannot exist here, my darling." "The air is much too thin." "Sail with us on the next boat." "You are not the same here, chérie." "You were free and happy in Europe." "Come back." "Let me make a happy world for you again." "Louis let us tell the others." "You all read in this morning's paper about a free-for-all battle that took place last night in this million-dollar pile of rock." "At a party given by an overnight millionaire named Johnny Brown the guests were attacked by drunken miners." "It is known that although Mrs. Brown now buys her jewels by the bushel only a short while ago, she was a bargirl in a mining town saloon." "Get out of here before I load up again!" "Get out of here, you lying, stinking polecats!" "Are you out of your skull?" "They came sightseeing." "I'll give them something to see!" "They ain't turning us into no sideshow!" "Looks like you're making it a three-ring circus firing out like a liquored-up redskin." "Liquored up?" "You're a fine one to be bellowing about liquored up." "You and your Leadville friends!" "I wish we'd kept at it till we had this whole house tore clear to shreds!" "I hate this place!" "Good!" "Because we're leaving." "We're going home to Europe." "We're going home to Leadville." "No, we are not." "I ain't living in Colorado." "The air is much too thin!" "Learn to breathe it because we're living in Leadville." "I'm living in Europe." "You're my wife." "You live under the roof I give you!" "And it's gonna be in Leadville." "Don't talk so bossy, Johnny Brown." "I got only one life to live, and I ain't living it in Leadville." "Europe's been good to me." "I learned a lot." "And if you're too plumb stubborn or too plumb lazy or too plumb stupid to learn, then the devil with you!" "Maybe we're mismatched, Mr. Brown." "What you and me want out of this life sure is different." "You don't know what you want." "You got rich too quick." "You're all mixed up." "I'm asking you for the last time." "You coming with me?" "All right." "You go to Europe with your prince." "I'm not going." "I'm saying no to you at last." "No." "Molly, what happened to us?" "I'll never say no" "I'll never say no" "Damn you!" "Damn you, Molly Brown!" "I just got one favor to ask you, Molly." "We said goodbye, didn't we?" "All right." "Now, just stay away." "Don't you never come back." "When you say goodbye, mean goodbye!" "Remember I said goodbye at Leadville once." "Well, I meant it." "Didn't I?" "Said goodbye" "And walked away" "Walked away from all I know" "From the sky and the trees" "And the snowcapped mountains" "Said goodbye and left forever" "Because I loved you" "Oh, I could say goodbye" "To many things" "Deep inside my heart" "I could easy take that heart" "And tear it free" "From every kind of memory" "And I could say goodbye someday" "To life itself" "No matter when" "Would you stay away, Molly?" "Just stay away!" "For I could never say" "Goodbye to you" "Again" "I ordered a Nebuchadnezzar of champagne." "Good thing he's a prince." "I sure couldn't afford a king." "With Molly, I am a king because she is a queen." "Well, a toast." "To our own Queen Molly." "International Molly, queen of the world." "Hail, hail." "Queen of the world." "At last." "Queen of the world." "Here is my scepter." "Here is my crown." "I'm queen of the world, so bow." "I'm Molly Tobin, queen of the lard pail." "Bow." "Curtsy." "Drop my drawers." "It's Gladys McGraw." "Aren't you going to curtsy?" "No, I guess you aren't." "And why should you?" "I'm a vulgar, extravagant, ignorant nouveau riche American expatriate clowning for a bunch of people I don't know and don't care about." "Just a figure of fun." "Nice to see you, Gladys." "And this is what I've become." "I guess, last of all, comes something you can't buy with money." "Last of all, it's just living with yourself." "Maybe I'm getting there." "Maybe that's where I'm getting." "Johnny used to say:" ""Why don't you settle for happiness?"" "But I thought happiness was all the things I was doing." "It was what I wanted." "It was what I dreamed of." "I don't know." "I don't know." "Seem to be saying that pretty often, nowadays." "I don't know." "I don't know." "A letter from Johnny." ""Dear Mrs. Brown:" "The time has come." "You can take the ring off now." "Sincerely J.J. Brown."" "He can't even spell "sincerely."" "But he was the one taught me to read." "Oh, uncle!" "Uncle." "Uncle?" "It's an old American expression for when you're down." "And I'm down." "I'm down real low." "You and I, Louis we're just fooling ourselves." "Forgive me." "I know it's been rough on you." "I have tried but it's against my nature." "Love is funny." "It's a lot harder to mine than gold or silver." "I had a rich claim." "I wasn't working it." "So I lost it." "Do you really believe he no longer means what he wrote inside this ring?" "Inside the ring?" "The inscription." "Didn't know there was an inscription." "Never had it off since the day he put it on." "He made me promise not to." ""Always remember two things:" "That I love you and the name of the bank."" "Maybe I ain't down yet." "Oh, my God." "George!" " We're all going to die!" " Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Sit down!" "Sit down!" "You're rocking the boat!" "Stop yelling!" "We're gonna die." "We're gonna die." "No, we ain't!" "I ain't ready to die!" "Hell, I'm just learning how to live!" "There you are, honey." "Now, you keep warm." "Now, stop crying." "Crying ain't gonna help." "Here, take these." "Now, you hold on real tight." "I don't wanna die." "I don't wanna die!" "Oh, God!" "What are we gonna do?" "Ladies and gent did I ever tell you about the time I was a bargirl in a saloon?" "I sang a song that I'm gonna teach you now." "And you'll learn all the words." " I'll try." " You too." "We'll never make it." "We're going to sink!" "Not with Molly Brown onboard." "That ship may be down, but not me." "I'm unsinkable!" "I survived the Colorado floods when I was 6 months old, so this is nothing!" "So we're gonna be all right if we keep our heads." "Now let's sing!" ""Denver's heroine, our own Mrs. J.J. Brown who is known throughout the world as the Unsinkable Molly Brown returns to Denver today." "When interviewed during her triumphant week in New York she made light of her heroism despite the glowing reports from her fellow passengers." "She said, 'I sure as blank wasn't ready for a blank-blank watery grave." "So I just blank, well, took the others along with me.'" "On her last day in New York, the Unsinkable Mrs. Brown was decorated by the British government for her courage." "When asked about the medal, she said:" "'A girl can always use another piece of jewelry.'"" "She's here." "She's here now." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Oh, my goodness." "Pa!" "Oh, Buttercup!" "Christmas!" "Polak!" "Hello, Father." " Johnny not here?" " Hey, Mol, look who's coming!" "Welcome home, Molly." "Thank you, Gladys." "It's very nice of you to come over." " Come on, tell her!" " Yes." "Mother and I..." "We're throwing a party for you to celebrate your homecoming." "The Sacred 36 is ready and waiting for you." "Now, get out of them traveling clothes, and get into a party dress." "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Yes, I'll join you as soon as I can." "Thank you, Gladys." "You're a good sport." "Molly, you're quite a woman." "Hurry up, now." "Molly, darlin', you should see all the telegrams, flowers, letters and all." " Any letter from Johnny?" " No." "But he wasn't much for writing letters." "Shamus!" " Go on." " Coming!" "Hurry up, darlin'." " Hello, Roberts." " Welcome home, Mrs. Brown." "Thank you."
