Vivacious Lady

I'm looking for Mr Keith Morgan. Have you seen him?

We haven't seen anything but Morgan since Monday. This way, sir.

Hello, Keith, I hope I'm not troubling you.

Why, Professor, you sound a little bitter.

We have very little time. Come on, you have to hurry. Sit down, Peter.

Ah, ah, ah! Can't sit there! That's her chair.

D'you know what time it is? We have to catch a train for Old Sharon.

Ah, don't you worry. This is the... Excuse me.

This is the last time I nursemaid you

when you come to New York on one of these frolics.

I'm not gonna budge till the girl I'm in love with agrees to marry me.

Well, it's... Excuse me.

I've sat here for four nights and I'll sit here 40 more.

Oh, Pete, she's the most beautiful, exciting...

What? You aren't serious? I am!

You haven't any monopoly on seriousness. Now, Keith...

The 4am train leaves at 4am and I'm going to be on it and so are you.

Waiter, get this man his cheque. I'm going to get his hat.

That's Old Sharon 242.

And I want... And reverse the charges.

I want to speak to Mr Peter Morgan, senior.

If you don't find him there, try the university.

He's president. Then what's Roosevelt doing?

# You'd never dream to look at me

Hello?

# My life is stuffed with tragedy Hello? Dad! Dad?

Shh! There's a number going on! Dad? Hello. I've found him.

If you shout any louder, you won't need that phone! What?

I'm in a night club, Dad. Now, don't get excited. I'm leaving soon.

What? ..No, it's a girl this time.

How's the mother doing? She's fine. What?!

All right, goodbye now.

# ..is a lovely memory

# Oh, I'm forgotten and I'm all alone

# But when you dance with someone else

# And try romance with someone else

# You'll be reminded of me

# And when you look in somebody's eyes

# The way you look into mine

# The memory of those little white lies

# Will haunt you all of the time

# So you've forgotten all the thrills we knew

# But wait, the day will come to you

# And when your heart is broke in two

# You'll be reminded of me

# If you should ever think of New York after dark

# And remember how we rode the hurdy-gurdy in the park

# And later, as we stroll along, you kissed my trembling hand

# And on my finger slipped an 18-carat cigar band

# You'll be reminded of me

# And when you look in somebody's eyes

# The way you look into mine

# The memory of those little white lies

# Will haunt you all of the time

# Go on forgetting all the thrills we ever knew

# But wait-a,

# The day-a

# Will-a come-a to you-a

# And when-a

# Your heart-a

# Is a-broken in two

# You'll be reminded of me

# And I'll be laughing

# You'll be reminded of me. #

APPLAUSE

Charlie...

Tell the fella at my table I've gone. I wanna put one over on him.

Let me know when he leaves.

Oh...

Hello.

How do you do.

Where's Keith? I wish I knew.

Oh, you're, er...

Oh...

What's the matter? Nothing.

Say, what were you trying to do - break me up? When you were singing?

I fell over a cooler over there. I'm exceedingly sorry. Don't be.

Some drunk does it every night. I don't mean you're drunk. I'm sorry?

I said I don't mean that I think you're tight. I'm not intoxicated.

No kidding. No. No. I'm just, er...

Just...

The only way I can explain it...

We had one of the first automobiles in Old Sharon. You live there too?

Oh, yes, yes. And one morning,

my father was driving along and he didn't see me in the street.

And he ran over me.

It wasn't serious but it was quite a blow.

Well, yeah.

Well, that's just the way I feel right now.

We say it a bit different. We say we feel like we've been hit by a truck.

It's the same idea.

Yeah.

Have a cigarette? No, thanks.

Something to drink? No, I never use it.

Something to eat? Yes, I would like something to eat. Oh... Not in here.

The food's terrible.

Well, then, we... I mean we...you...

Do you want to take me out? I do! Very much! How 'bout it? All right.

And we might see some of New York. All right.

Good night, Charlie. I'm going to see New York.

Has he gone? Yes, he's gone, but... Boy, did I give him the runaround!

Boy, did we get rid of him!

Hey, where's Francie? Francie went with him. Oh, boy...!

Huh? He's showing her New York.

Oh, boy!

It's so quiet too. What?

I said it's so quiet! What did you say?!

The only sound at night is just the wind and the trees.

What did you say?! I said it's so quiet in Old Sharon!

Oh, I'd like that!

Did you ever stop to think how important the universe is?

No, I don't believe I have.

Well, we worry about industry and business...

Few people realise that school is responsible for our civilisation.

Say, what are you?

Well, I'm a professor. Oh.

Well, not quite. Associate professor.

So when I see that university, it gives me quite a thrill because...

Because what?

Well, I'd like to tell you but you'd just think I'm bragging.

Well, no, I like people who think they're good.

My grandfather was president of Old Sharon university. Good night!

My father's president now. And some day, I'm going to be.

I assure you, I've never talked this much before.

But...

I...I just realised... I'm trying to make an impression.

Well, you could let me say something. I'd like to make an impression too.

You don't have to say anything. No?

No. You speak for yourself, and very eloquently too.

Besides, wasn't I at the cafe tonight?

Did you like my dance? You were singing when I came in.

You didn't see my dance? When I wear the little thing with sequins? No.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's the best number I do. I want you to see it.

Why? It's a great number. Is that so? Terrific.

So, you're good! Yeah, I'm good. Now who's bragging?

You got me.

I've missed the train.

That's too bad. Oh, it's all right.

Goodbye.

Goodbye? Why?

I live here.

Oh...

Goodbye.

Er... Do you...

Do you think things out carefully? Things? What things?

Just things. You mean small things or important things?

Er...everything.

Well, if it's small things, I never do.

But important things, I never do either.

Oh... I think you ought to think them out, don't you?

Because small things develop into very important things.

Yes, but you just think things out and...

they happen anyhow.

Well... What, you mean there's some things you just can't control?

I don't think you can control anything.

TELEPHONE RINGS

Hello. 'Good morning.'

Well...good morning.

If you aren't doing anything, would you have breakfast with me? Sure.

Where are you? 'At the drugstore.' Give me 15 minutes. Make it five.

All right, five. Goodbye.

Good morning. We're having a little special today.

A toothbrush free with a bottle of mouthwash.

Just taste this. No iron, no tin, no irritants, no...

Brown hair, blue eyes, about 6' 1" tall. In shoes or stockinged feet?

Stockinged feet. I haven't seen him.

Beg your pardon, sir.

Never mind, I've found him.

Now, that's all right. Keith, Keith, wake up now.

May I have the tickets? Oh, I...

Keith, may I use your drawing room? I'll buy you a berth.

Sorry, there's no more space. I'll sleep here. Drawing room A, car 71.

Would you, er...?

Keith, I...

Listen...

The most wonderful thing's happened.

Some would say it's a miracle... Don't you care what people say.

But there's nothing particularly miraculous about it! It's chemistry.

Anodes attract cathodes...

Don't tell me - you're in love.

No. No. I'm married.

Married a cathode? That's a funny name. Her name's Francie.

Oh, Francie? That's a very pretty name. Francie.

That's my girl! Wait a minute, boss! Take it easy.

Hey! What are you trying to do, lose me?

Oh, no.

I'm never gonna lose you. You better not.

It only took a day to happen but I'm in love with you for always.

Think you can stand it? Well, I'll try.

You...er... You can move in.

What did Keith say?

He was a little startled. I bet.

Oh, do you mind, er...he and I... Well, do you mind if we go in alone?

She has claustrophobia... Yes.

Now I know I've heard everything.

I've never been married before and... Frightened?

Frightened? No. I'm never gonna be frightened again.

Now you're my wall to lean against.

Well, I've always tried to be a strong man in a conservative way.

Well, my strong and conservative man, carry me across our first threshold.
