Didn't your family members say anything? Why don't you ask one question at a time? I'm not smart, so I don't remember anything. What was the first question? It's nothing. Oh yeah! I bought a new cell phone. So? Who do you think my speed dial number one is? I don't know. Who is it? It's me, Ha Bu Kyung! So what? You cut the cucumbers wrong, same with the peppers. If you continue like this, you'll have to attend another extra session. Do whatever you want, that's all for today. You can't be like this. Please come again next Monday. Wait, what did you say about cutting the cucumbers? You returned so fast? I'll help you. You hold it like this and use a little strength. Cut it. Be a bit more accurate. You old man, creeping up on me like that without making any noise. That's enough noise to make when coming up to someone. Should I have to whistled to notify you instead? How dare you talk to me informally. Okay, older sister. I walked through the market, and saw that your shop was closed.
Aren't you going to make money? I felt unhappy today, so I gave up. I felt frustrated living, so I came out. Do you want to go somewhere comfortable and eat something refreshing? At the Hong Mo Ae, they serve a bowl of rice wine with a dish of seasoned meat. Wow, my saliva is coming out. I'm going because you said it's Hong Mo Ae. Let's go. So what? Well, my younger sibling gritted her teeth. She must have had so much hate to divorce her husband. He's like her enemy. And the husband is fatally ill. So what are we supposed to do? She said to me, "Oppa... Don't you think we should meet him at least once more? Right?" Her eyes were full of tears. From what I saw, she wanted to see him. Even if he was a bad husband, I guess she would want to see him at least once, knowing that he will be dying. Like I've said before, my younger sibling who got kicked out embarrassingly. She said that she got a divorce when she didn't. She claims that her children are doing so much for her, and that she uses money like there is no limit, when it's all a lie. In reality, my younger sibling is working as a janitor in a building. Even when she knew that her ex-husband was dying... she kept saying that she doesn't ever want to see that old man. So, I asked her why she changed her mind suddenly? What did she say? That she was afraid her lies would be exposed? Why did she make up those lies? It's something that could happen, right?
I understood her. Yeah, I understand, too. It would definitely look pathetic if you're living without enough money, and was the one who got kicked out. Don't you think so? Yes. Noona, so, I told him already. Go. Go meet him! Even if you don't want to, you must go and see him. What kind of crap are you talking about? What do you mean "see him"? I have to keep my pride and never see him again. What does it matter to me whether he dies or not, when he was the one who wronged me. I really like how we left Oh Dal Gun out and got together without him. Good isn't it? Good? I'm going to leave out anyone who hangs out with Dal Gun. The problem isn't that the dumpling lady sees him. But how to send him to America to a hospital like John Hopkins's to receive treatments. What do you guys think? Why does he sound like he's from a different world? Are you a foreigner? I don't get why it can't happen. Mister, so she's saying that she'll never meet him, right? That grandmother will never go. Her personality is quite bad and she's also very stubborn. She said herself that she wouldn't go. What more can one do about that? It's possible for someone to live for a bit longer if you fulfill their wish. Oh!
How about we do this? What are we going to do? Na Rim, I hope you get good results at the hospital. Okay, Uncle. After getting the detailed examination, the soonest she'll be discharged is tomorrow night. We will greet her tomorrow night at the house. I think there will be good results. Thank you Chairman Oh Dal Gun. Well, if we say we will do something, we will. Alright. How am I? Do I look like I don't have spirit? Why can't you do this? Slouch your shoulders a bit more. It's like the feeling of something very heavy pressing down on you. The facial expression is very easy. Crestfallen, like relaxing the facial muscles and looking mentally stressed out. Mentally stressed out? Yeah, like that. Here, put the bag on. Like crestfallen, and mentally stressed out. That's like a gangster. The legs look too unbalanced. Like a cow being brought to the slaughter house, as slow as possible. Slouch your shoulders. And keep your head down. No, I mean, do it like this. Okay, I got it. I will be back. Wait, Dal Gun sshi...
I have a favor to ask you. Could you keep it a secret from the others that I'm now with you? Okay. Yeah, it's quite embarrassing if they knew you're being bullied by kids. Okay! I will be back. I told him to walk like this... why can't he do that? Hey mister! Mister! Mister! Look at him wandering like that. Who else is there besides you? Are you stupid? I think I'm going to go crazy. Come here! Run over here! This is so frustrating. Mister, we're a bit hungry, so why don't you give us some money and go. I don't have any money. If I find 10 cents, you're going to get hit 100 times. Search me. This man is so immature. Let's search. Why you! You brats... the blood in your brains hasn't even dried yet! If you think it's unfair for you to kneel, come out and face me. If you have courage, come out! What? Are you saying that you're going to fight me? Good!
You got some guts, kid! You're my younger brother now. Yes, hyung nim From now on, he's my younger brother. You're going to die if you mess with him. Are you saying that you're going to mess with him? Be careful. Let's go, younger brother. Yes, hyung nim. Kneel properly. Yes Ha De Ri. You called? So you sold all the mackerel huh? Yes, it was my luck. Luckily they said a mackerel program was aired on TV yesterday. Okay, you can go. Wait... Since I sold all the mackerel like I promised, shouldn't you officially employ me? Whatever, just don't come to work tomorrow. HEY! You promised that if I sell all the mackerels that... OH JING UH! (squid) WHAT? ! Why are you saying two different things? I sold it all! Look what happened to my hand while I was cutting the fish! Look! Look!
Hey oh jing uh! Tomorrow's the department store's day off! I'll see you the day after tomorrow Ha De Ri Neem! Hammering so long makes me tired. So tired. But, that table I fixed a leg onto became as good as new. Are there a lot of amusement parks in Seoul, hyung nim? Of course, you country brats! Our family's never been to an amusement park hyung nim. Hey! Where would we get money to spend on things like that? And do you think noona even has money to spend on those things? The person who would enjoy being at the amusement park the most would be noona. Just because we don't have money... Hey, noona likes things like going to amusement parks? She'll die with joy. Really? Then should we go to the amusement park today and play all night, stay the night there, and play some more the next day? What's the good news? It's chicken! YAY! She brought chicken! Enjoy it! Noona got officially employed at the department store! Our noona's the best! Yep, that's your noona. Noona! Hyung nim said that he's going to take all of us to the amusement park today! He said we're going to play all night today and play again tomorrow! Noona!
I think I'm going to die of happiness! What made him come visit us? Didn't you see on your way in? Oww, my arm. The promise that I would fix your table's leg. Don't you see that I came to fix that for you? It became as good as new. Thank you. Really. But what's with you taking us to the amusement park? Oh, your oldest brother, this brat, Yang Il. This brat could've taken the wrong way. It's a good thing that I saved him Anyways, a family needs to be peaceful. In order to have a peaceful family, we need to go to an amusement parks and... Okay, I get it. Okay, should we slowly get ready to leave for the amusement park? Wait. I have to stop by one place. Where? I have to drop by the house too, and I have my car parked in front, so I'll drive you there. No! It's okay... Where are you going? Why the hell is Dal Gun sitting here with us? If he catches us leaving him out, he'll dig us another pit. Yang Ah... Why do you always have Dal Gun with you? Sorry everyone... He wouldn't leave, so I couldn't come without him..
Don't just keep mumbling inside your heads. Just say it out loud, face to face! You have to stop talking in your heads, so I know what you want me to order. We ordered a course! I don't understand why we have to do that... I don't know what others might think. But how come he doesn't seem like he belongs to this family? If everyone else except Na Rim is here to have a meeting... then how come I didn't know about it? What do you think? You're the black sheep. Bastard! Hey! If I'm the black sheep, then who wouldn't be one in this world? If I have such a good relationship with all my family members, how is it possible that I'm the black sheep? This bastard. He's funny. Dal Gun, I was going to call you to the meeting too, but something went wrong in the process of getting the message to you. The reason why we gathered is... He's the 2nd son of the Tofu Shop. Yang Ah? Did you change your mind and decide to meet him? Guess what? Yang Ah told me that she wanted to meet the guy. That's a good decision you made, Yang Ah. I've looked around, and there's no other guy as good as him. Yang Ah, say it on your own. Yes, I want to have the meeting. I'll trust you dumpling grandmother. Then I should hurry and call the Tofu Shop to set a date up for the meeting. How do you like the picture?
You like it? He's just my style. I'm so happy for you! You should take this chance! Marriage is the best thing for a woman What are you doing? ! Bring me a cup of cold water! Cold, I tell you! Wait, hold on... After I zip up my pants. How can you be doing this to me? I'm the one who knows your life-line secret. Why do you keep on pressuring her to meet him? I didn't pressure. She's the one who asked me. Cancel the meeting! Cancel the meeting before Mandu Ahjumah calls to set up the date! How am I supposed to cancel that? I don't understand.. If I tell you to do it, do it! Oh, Yang Ah! You know the guy you're going to meet, he... Mister! We called the Tofu Shop and decided to meet tomorrow at 5 at the TT Hotel. TT Hotel, at 5... Shouldn't we leave for the amusement park? Amusement park... what amusement park? You promised the kids not so long ago... Oh that!
Let's go! Oh, it'd be perfect if we leave now. Let's go! Let's go! Don't go so far you guys! Hurry up! Those country brats! Hey, why are you calling my brothers country brats? Look at the way they're acting. Like a bunch of crazy horses. Why aren't you running around? I don't really like amusement parks. I have a fear of heights and I get headaches easily. It's all about going up and down, and spinning in circles. What else is an amusement park about? I came because of them. If they asked me to come with my own money, I would never come here. What I think is that, that meeting... Since the meeting is at 5, I should go home by 3 to get ready, and then go to the meeting. I know what to do. I know! I know! I know! Don't cut me off and listen! A marriage should be held between two people who are similar. It won't work out if only one side is heavier than the other. To the guy, the deal is bad. Look, you have 3 kids that come along with you. Look at those crazy horses. And you're poor.
You have no money. And you're too young to marry. Those are the disadvantages that comes with you. The way I think of it... I think having the meeting is a bad idea. Don't get hurt later and just give it up now. I'm seriously warning you. He knows. We're meeting because he accepts all of it. Anyways, thanks for the warning. Hyung, hurry and come! They must be thirsty! Go buy them a drink or something. That's the right manner. Why are they uselessly running around like that? It goes around and around and around... Got picked for your first kiss! What first kiss? I don't remember. Why are you making a fuss about it? Hurry up and tell it. Eight... Teen.. Yeah right.. Okay! Fine! Thirteen. Happy? That's more like her. She didn't let down our expectations.
You matured very fast. Anyways, this time, the last kiss it is! Goes around and around and... Yes! It's Jo Gi Dong's turn! Hurry up and tell us! How am I supposed to say that? Then, drink up your cup and then say it! Noona, you want to convince him? What does a man have to be afraid of? Don't be a damn coward! Hurry up and say it! I had my last kiss 8 years and 7 months ago. 8 years and 7... Then, isn't that before your kids left for Canada? It just happened to be like that. For 8 years and 7 months... how can he be human? So, for 8 years and 7 months, all you did with your mouth was eat and talk? You fool! This game is so fun. I thought that empty bottles were only used for pretend mikes. But it can be used for such a fun game like this too. Let's spin it again! Spin it again! Then, this time, how about our first night? That'd be fun! Okay! Okay! It goes around and around and around and... You got selected Teacher Jang!
Teacher Jang! He always blabbers about useless things with his mouth, but let's really hear him today! Oww, my stomach hurts. I suddenly have to use the bathroom. Teacher Jang, don't spoil the mood. Hurry up and tell it! I think it's too late now. Let's just go to sleep. Jang Gu Seng Neem (Teacher Jang). It's not like you've never married before. It's ok if it's a story from a long time ago. Just take your time and tell it comfortably. You see... Gi Dong... I... That is... I haven't married yet, so I'm still solo. So what if you didn't marry? It doesn't mean that you're still a virgin just because you never marrired. - Of course. - You would still have a first night? Isn't that right? That's right! Just tell us about your first night. At this age, if you still haven't had your first night, how is that even human? What's wrong Teacher Jang? I'm sorry. Wait, so he's really still a virgin? Yang Ah. Kim Yang Ah.
Here's some tofu for you. What are you doing? I like meat better. No, you should get used to tofu. You're going to live in a tofu store anyways. No, you should eat tofu. You're close with tofu aren't you? Live nicely, okay? What did you say? I can't keep it in any longer! Why do you keep getting mad at me and throwing a fit? When did I do that? This tofu is the proof. They say tofu has good nutrition, especially for women. If you're going to try to be generous, then do it nicely. Ever since we left, you keep making me feel uncomfortable. Why are you still doing this now? It's because I'm worried about your future. Your future! Even if I take time to think deeply about your reality, "Tofu Shop's son said he likes me." If you happen to actually like tofu itself, the Tofu Shop's son will like you even more! What's so bad about that? If you're going to say something, say it nicely. It's because you keep interpreting it the wrong way. We came here to play, not to talk about my meeting. Why do you keep bringing up that subject? Do you like me? Why would I like a girl like you? ! Where are you going?
Hey Hang Gu. How did that happen to you? Is it really true? Till now? Huh? Don't worry. After Yang Ah's meeting, I'll find someone for you too. Because you should at least get married before you die. Don't worry about me. But, I think if you tell someone that you're still a bach (virgin) till now, I think she would feel uncomfortable. I shouldn't tell her that, huh? Just to see my face... from down the block, up the block, they all came and lined up in front of my door step. Well, that's me a long time ago. I'm so old now. Who cares. No, that's not true. You're still pretty. Like a blossom of flowers. You must be really drunk. But it still made me happy, since you said I'm pretty. With that, cheers! Cheers! Ji Sook sshi... What do you think about me? Gi Dong sshi? Yeah... Well, in the beginning you seemed so dull, so I didn't like you. But, as I got to know you, I think you're nice and that you're okay. Like a friend. Thank you.
Ji Sook sshi... It's so cold... what is it? I'm sorry. So sorry. Don't apologize and stuff. Nothing happened between us. What are you doing? ! You're crazy! Crazy! Don't come near me! Oh my! Oh my! I'm sorry! Pervert! What to do! Oh my gosh! What's this? This is exactly why people talk bad about you. Why are you sleeping on the floor? Did you do something bad? Hurry up and get up! Get up! I'm sorry. So sorry. Yang Ah. What's wrong with you? Yesterday, I stayed because it was late and my brothers were here too. But today I want to go home. What are you guys looking at?
Hurry up and get ready to leave! I'm sorry Yang Ah. Last night... Don't get mad and let's have fun today. Noona... please? Hey! You said your meeting is at 5 right? Yeah, let's have some good fun until 4! I want to go again! Guns are a scary thing! Kids shouldn't play with it! Let's go! Why are you acting so damn differently you nasty girl? Did you eat something wrong? Your mouth is rough, your face is rough. There's nothing that's not rough about you. Yeah, you nasty girl. I'm rough. The back of my feet is so rough that my skin's peeling apart. If you're going to apply it, then do it nicely. You have to be laying down, so that I can! I'm not the one who's going to a marriage meeting. If Yang Ah comes, do it for her. It's scaring me that you're being nice to me. In a meeting, it's not only the main person that's important. The person coming with the main person is important as well. I'm so sorry. So sorry. Keep quiet! Shut your mouth.
Please! I did have my mouth shut! But this nasty girl's still telling me to shut up. Okay, let's see. Why do we have to take a picture? Hey, we came all the way over here. We should at least leave with some memories. A picture helps save these memories. See, I even bought a disposable camera for it. Isn't that right, guys? That's right, Hyung nim! Good. Pose well for the picture right there. That's right. Yang Ah, that's my spot. Yang Ah, you get up too. Okay, that's good! Hey, take a picture of the whole fountain and don't waste film, okay? Okay. Yang Ah! Are you okay? You! You! Yang Ah, are you hurt? Hey! Why'd you do that for? You did that on purpose, huh? Do it on purpose? Are you crazy? Anyways, what are you going to do about your wet clothes?
I have a thousand. Who'll make it 1250? Twelve-fifty. AUCTIONEER: Thank you. I have $ 1250. - Hi. Mr. Whipple. HERMAN: Hello. Steve. Have a drink? - No. Thanks. AUCTIONEER: I have $ 1250... Mr. Whipple. I'd like to borrow some money. But. Steve. I just gave you some money. Yeah. I know. But this isn't for the show. This is personal. - Personal? - Yeah. I need $ 1250. Well. I'd like to help you out.
Steve. But after all. $ 1250 is $ 1250. All right. I'll make a deal with you. You think our show's gonna be a hit. Don't you? Of course. I'm backing it. All right. Then. I'll put up my half of the show for. Say. 60 days if you'll loan me the 1250. Fair enough? Fair enough. I'll do it. I have $ 1250. Do I hear any offers over 1250? Will somebody make it 1500? Fifteen hundred. Seventeen-fifty. - Ledford? AUCTIONEER: Seventeen-fifty is the bid. Yes. Mrs. Whipple? Who's the girl bidding 1750? - Why. That's... - She got that amount?
No. Ma'am. I don't think she has. Then why is she bidding? - Well... CAROLINE: Blakeley. Tell the auctioneer I want the horse sold to that girl for 1750. - All right. - But. Mrs. Whipple that girl hasn't got a dime. That's what I thought. Yes. Ma'am. I've got $ 1750. Who'll make it 2000? [WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY] Sold to the young lady for $ 1750. STEVE: Hello. Sonny. - Hello. Steve. - Glad to see you. - Glad to see you. - Sit down. - Thanks. - I'll be with you in a minute. - Oh. Take your time.
I'm in no hurry. I suppose you'd like to know what this is about. - Yes. I would. - Well it's about Sally and that jam she got herself into down at the auction. Gee. You know. I've been worried about that too. I don't know how she's gonna pay for that. - That's where you come in. - Me? I'd like to see her get the money. But I can't give it to her myself. Gee. Steve. I'd like to help you out. But to tell you the truth. I'm flat too. I've only got a buck and a half. Oh. No. No. No. I've got the money. All right. Now. look. Sonny. Here's $ 1250. I want you to give it to her.
Well. Wait a minute. Why don't you give it to her yourself? Well. You see. It's like this. She wouldn't take it from me. Twelve hundred and fifty bucks. Say. Where am I gonna tell her I got it? Well. Tell her anything. Tell her it was bank night. I get it. Tell her anything except that it came from you. That's right. You kind of like her. Don't you? Sure. Don't you? Sonny. That's an awful lot of money. I don't know how to thank you. Oh. You don't have to thank me. Sally. It's nothing at all. Nothing? Twelve hundred and fifty dollars? Say.
Where did you get that money? Why. Uh... Well... You see. Sit down and I'll tell you all about it. Look. Here's what happened. Last night. I figured out a three-horse parlay that won and paid the limit. - Twelve hundred and fifty dollars? - Yup. Seems almost unbelievable. Doesn't it? Yeah. That doesn't happen very often. Does it? Oh. No. No indeed. Very seldom. Well. I suppose you're pretty happy to own Star Gazer again. Yes. But I'd feel much better if I knew where his next meal was coming from. Why don't you let your trainer worry about that? - My what? - Your trainer. I forgot to tell you. There's a fellow hanging around Mrs. Whipple stable that's just dying to work for you.
- Oh. That's fine. He can start in tomorrow at. Shall we say. Um nothing a week? Well. I guess that would be all right. I don't think you could get him any cheaper. On the level. Sally. You have got a trainer. You see this fellow's kind of crazy about Star Gazer. I get it. No. Sonny. You've done too much for me already. I won't let you give up your job. It's too late. I quit this afternoon. - You didn't. - Sure. Now on. I'm working for you. Nothing a week. If things get tough. I'll work for less. Sonny. I won't let you. Say. Listen.
You're not gonna fire me too. I can't afford to lose two jobs in one day. Oh. look. Sally. I'm not doing you a favor. You're doing me one. Don't you understand you're giving me a chance to develop a real champion? Why. We can't miss. You and I work together. In a couple of months... And in the meantime. You're broke. I'm broke. Well. Sure. We're all broke. But we're happy. [SINGING] Though I'm flat Though I'm broke Though I'm bent I'm contented to never sigh As time goes by There's a gleam In my eye And inside of my heart I'm a lucky guy Here's the reason why I'm feelin' like a million Though I haven't got a dollar A shilling or sou Still I'm feelin' like a million
And I want to get this over to you I'm feelin' like a million Though I haven't got a sofa A pillow or bed Still I'm walking like a million With my hat on the side of my head What's this thing that I've found Through the days that I've clowned? Is it you that's around? I get a crazy feeling I could jump up to the ceiling 'Cause I'm feelin' like a million Though I couldn't buy a collar A necktie or glove Still I'm feelin' like a million Is it you? Is it me? Is it love? I feel like Mrs. Astor Though I haven't got a townhouse A motor or yacht Still I feel like Mrs. Astor Though a horse and a tap Are all I've got You know, I feel like Mrs. Whitney Though my dresses are not satin And my collar isn't fox Still I feel like Mrs. Whitney And I'm proud of the runs in my socks You're a Vanderbilt kin With a Tiffany grin Where have you been? You're another Cinderella You're a dime from Rockefeller You're that million-copy seller Gone With the Wind I'm feelin' like a million Though I couldn't buy a collar
- No, sir - And I couldn't buy a glove - No indeed - Why, I couldn't even buy a little posy - How ridiculous - All I've got is love I'm feelin' like a million bucks [CRUNCHES] [TAPPING] [THUNDER RUMBLING] - Well. Boss. How does he look? - He looks okay to me. Sound as a 1929 dollar. Let me look at that leg. Aw. That's beautiful. - Hi. Kids. SONNY: Hello. Pete. Hello. Peter. Where have you been? What are you doing now? Taking violin lessons? Where's the feed? [LAUGHING]
The good provider. Gee. Thanks. Peter. I don't know what we'd ever do without you. Oh. It's nothing. Hey. Come here. - Where are you getting this feed? - I borrow it from Mrs. Whipple's stable when she's not looking. - What's the idea of the fiddle case? - That's to get by Blakeley. What if he asks you to play him a tune? If he does. It'll be the last straw. Aha! So that's where you live. Where are they? Where did they went? - Where did they go? - Wait a minute. Where did who go? The two men was standing right here. Let me tell you something. If I catch them. If I find them. If I... Aha! So that's where you are.
Who do you think you are. Jack and the Beamstalk? - You come down from there. - Oh. No. Not me. - You better come down. - You bet you my life you better come down. I bet he thinks I'm mad. Will you come down from there? Not until you put the razor away. [BARKING] The dog. Call off the dog. Call him off. If that dog sues me. I'll bite you. - George. How are you? Glad to... - Don't you "hello" me. - I want my $800. - Wait a minute. Just a minute. Sonny. What is this all about? We took 20 bucks from George here to bet on a horse called Fast Asleep. A 40-to-1 shot and the horse won. So that's where you got the money you gave me to pay for Star Gazer. No.
That had nothing to do with this. We didn't bet his money. What? You didn't make the bet? - I want my $800. - Well. We haven't got $800. - We'll give you back your 20. - I don't want $20. I want 800. and I want it quick. Is it? All right. All right. Sonny. It seems to me that both you and Peter are in the wrong. Please. Let's take the 20 bucks and call it even. No. Absotively. No. I want 800. Mr. Papaloopas. Would you care to take a chance on a horse to get more than your money back? One minute. This is all Greek to me. Explain it. Please. Do you? Look. We'll give you a third interest in Star Gazer.
Now wait minute. I can't let you do this. You owe him $800. The only way we can pay the debt is make him a partner. If Sally insists. You get a third interest in the horse. You gonna make me partners in the horses? That's right. Thank you. Hello. Hel... When are you going to put my horse in the races? We're going to enter our horse in the $25.000 jumping race at Saratoga. Oh. Can he jump? - Can he jump? - Can he jump? Can he jump? You'll be the first to know. Come on. We'll find out. Where's the horse? So he's a jumper. Huh? I wanna back out from the deal. - I want my $800. - Well. We haven't got $800. But you haven't given the horse a chance. He can jump.
I don't care. I want... - Eight hundred dollars. - Yes. Hello there. What's going on here? - Hello. Steve. - Who sent for you? Listen. L... Where are you? Do you know who that was? - I don't care. I want $800. - It was Mr. Raleigh. Steve Raleigh. The producer. L... You mean the man what makes the shows on Broadway? - Sure. - That's a fine how-do-you-feel. That's the man I want should hear you sing. Come on. - Mr. Raleigh? - Yes. I'm George Papaloopas. This is my nephew. Nicki Papaloopas. - Say hello to the gentleman.
Hello. - How do you do? Mr. Raleigh. I've been reading a lot about your new show. - Oh. Is that so? - Yes. You know. My nephew's a singer. He sings just like a knocking bird. Someday you're going to listen to him. Is it? Why. Yes. I'd be glad to but some other time. There's no presence like the time. You gotta make hay while the iron is hot. Come on. Nicki. Sing for the gentleman. You stand there and sing. Nicki. I'll play. Don't go way. [SINGING "LARGO AL FACTOTUM"] SONNY: Whoa! Whoa. Boy. Whoa.
Hey. Stop the guy singing in there. He's driving the horse crazy. Star Gazer. Whoa. Boy. Hold him. Boy. Whoa. Star Gazer. Whoa. Hold him. Boy. Hey. Sally. Tempus fugit. And that's "I'll be seeing you" in any man's language. Goodbye now. [COUGHS] That's a terrible cold you got. Oh. Welcome to the health club. I'm Emma Snipe and I know what you want. Your underweight. You're sick. It's a wonder you can stand up. Sit down. I don't wanna worry you. But the undertaker is right behind you. But don't worry.
I can put 30 pounds on you before you can say... Uh. Let me hear you say "Rumplestiltskin." Rumplestiltskin. Rumplestiltskin. You don't put any oomph into it. You've burnt your candle at both ends. What you want is more oomph. Isn't it? You can't be vital without vitamins. How do you eat? - Like a horse. - Frankly. You'll have to cut that out. From now on. You'll sit up at a table just like anyone else. Look. I don't wanna put on weight. I wanna reduce. I'm a jockey. And if I don't take off some weight they won't let me ride at Saratoga. - How much do you wanna lose? - About 70 pounds. Seventy pounds? Frankly. You take that much. You'll be nothing but a blood vessel to keep your clothes warm. I'll still do it. How much will it cost? We charge by the pound. 50 cents a pound.
You pay that much for good rump steak. - What's your name now? - Same as it always was. Peter Trot. Oh. I used to just adore Peter Rabbit. Will you stick out your tongue. Please? Now. Can you whistle? Mm. Frankly. That's bad. Has difficulty in whistling. You can stick it back in. You're getting your tie wet. Now I'll turn you over to my assistant. Oh. Babe. Come and get it. Of course. We could take 10 pounds off right now if we cut your hair. - Betty. What have you got there? - Nothing. Mom. - Come on now. Let me see it. - Well... Come on now.
Let me see it. "Sincerely yours. Clark Gable." So you've been writing to the actors again. Eh? Well. I'll put a stop to that. Oh. Mom. I paid a quarter for that picture. First it was Donald Duck. And now it's Clark Gable you're crazy about. Now look here. Young lady. You stop thinking about these moving-picture actors and you go right to sleep. And mind you. No dreaming about them either. [SINGING] Dear Mr. Gable, I am writing this to you And I hope that you will read it So you'll know My heart beats like a hammer And I stutter and I stammer Every time I see you at the picture show I guess I'm just another fan of yours And I thought I'd write And tell you so You made me love you I didn't wanna do it I didn't wanna do it You made me love you And all the time you knew it I guess you always knew it You made me happy
Sometimes you made me glad But there were times, sir You made me feel so sad You made me sigh 'Cause I didn't wanna tell you I didn't wanna tell you I think you're grand That's true, yes, I do 'Deed I do, you know I do I must tell you what I'm feeling The very mention of your name Sends my heart reeling You know you made me Love you Oh. Gee. Mr. Gable. I don't wanna bother you. I guess you got a lot of girls that tell you the same thing. And if you don't wanna read this. Well. You don't have to. But I just had to tell you about the time I saw you in It Happened One Night. That was the first time I ever saw you. And I knew right then you were the nicest fellow in the movies. I guess it was because you acted so. Well. So natural like. Not like a real actor at all. But just like any fellow you'd meet at school or at a party. And then one time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford and I had to cry a little because you loved her so much and you couldn't have her. Not till the end of the picture.
Anyway. And then one time I saw you in person. You were making a personal appearance. And I was standing there when you got out of your car. And you almost knocked me down. Oh. But it wasn't your fault. No. I was in the way. But you looked at me and you smiled. Yeah. You smiled right at me. As if you meant it and I cried all the way home just because you smiled at me for being in your way. Oh. I'll never forget it. Mr. Gable. Honest Injun. You're my favorite actor. I don't care what happens Let the whole world stop As far as I'm concerned You'll always be the top 'Cause you know you made me Love you Here's to Steve's new show. Yeah. It's plenty rough in spots. Hey. Burt. Come here. You've gotta clean up that finish. It's no good.
They're all tired out. It's after 1:00. We'll call it quits for tonight. All right. Girls. You can all go home. [WOMEN CLAPPING] See that you go home. I'll expect you in the morning. Ten o'clock in the morning. Girls. Be here on time. No alibis. STEVE: Sally. Come here a minute. Sit down. I didn't like your rehearsal today. I'm sorry. That love scene was pretty bad. You didn't mean it. But I tried. That's probably just the trouble. You're trying too hard. No. Just be simple and sincere. Now come on. Read that line for me. - Which one? - The one where you say. "I love you."
I love you. Really I do. I love you with all my heart. Well. That's more like it. Why didn't you say it like that at rehearsal? I'll try to do it better tomorrow. Be sure you do. It's very important. Sally. Yes? - I'm sorry I had to pick on you today. - Oh. That's all right. I understand. Remember I told you we'd be lucky if we were still speaking to each other at the end of rehearsals? - Uh-huh. Speaking of rehearsals. Let me hear that line again. I wanna see if you remember it. Why don't you read it for me. Then I can tell what you really mean. All right. I love you. Really I do. I love you with all my heart. That sounded nice. Steve. Now let me try it again. I love you.
Really I do. I love you with all my heart. CAROLINE: Steve. If you two can stop loving each other with all your hearts for one moment I'd like to see you in the office. You better run along home. Sally. And get some rest. - You've got a big day tomorrow. - All right. Steve. - Well? - Herman. Are you going to tell Steve or shall I? - Oh. Yes. Dear. Steve. We have some rather bad news for you. - I'm sorry to hear that. - Yes. So am I. But we've come to the conclusion. Steve. That we can't go on with the show. Here now. Wait a minute. We're partners. We made a deal. That's right.
So we did. Steve's right. My dear. We didn't agree to waste your money on an unknown girl. I know the idea of a Broadway show resting on an unknown may sound foolish. But that's been my plan from the first. New faces. Fresh talent. That's the idea you bought when you agreed to finance me. We didn't agree to finance your love affairs. I hardly expected that. I suppose you're not in love with the girl? Yes. I am. If I didn't think she'd make good. I'd never had her in the show. I don't suppose you can understand that. Herman. Are you gonna sit there and let him talk to me like that? Certainly not. My dear. What did he say? I want you to tell Steve that unless the girl leaves you're withdrawing your financial support. That's right. Steve. You can't have two angels in one show. Can you? I'll do the show without you. But according to our contract. I own half of it.
Not if you fail to go through with it. You don't. Mr. Raleigh forgets. Dear. That you hold his personal note for $ 1250 and if it isn't repaid within 60 days. Even his half of the show is yours. Darling. That's right. Dear. I'd forgotten about that. Now. You shouldn't have given me a note like that. Steve. That was a mistake. - How did you ever come to do that? - Mr. Raleigh's romantic. Dear. Of course. That's something you wouldn't understand. Here. Let's go. - So they walked out on you. Eh? - Yep. Well. Here's to Steve's new show without Sally Lee. Don't you believe it. I'll find another backer. And she'll be in the show. Now listen.
Steve. Any guy that would give up a city bankroll for a farmer's daughter. If he isn't crazy. Then I am. You can't do this. You can't throw away that Whipple money just on account of this Sally Lee girl. You can find hoofers all over town. You'll never find another like Whipple. STEVE: Oh. Don't worry about it. He's out. Listen. Now use your head. Will you? The Whipples will back the show if the girl is out. Forget about her and do it Mrs. Whipple's way. Make a name for yourself first and then you can star the girl and her horse. Forget it. Will you. Duffy? Sally. Yes? - I thought you'd gone home. - I'm leaving now. - Wait. I'll go with you. - Don't bother. - I'd rather go alone. - All right.
I'll see you at rehearsal tomorrow. Huh? I'm not coming tomorrow. What do you mean. You're not corning? I'm leaving the show. Now. Wait a minute. Stop your kidding. Will you? I'm not joking. I'm afraid of it. I don't think I can make good. Even you didn't like my rehearsals today. Well. That's what rehearsals are for. To improve your work. Now. You haven't been listening to Duffy out there. Have you? No. I've been up in my dressing room. Thinking this all out alone. I really don't fit in here. Steve. I belong with Star Gazer and Sonny. - Sonny? - Yes. This isn't fair to him. What do you owe Sonny?
He works for me for nothing. Besides that he gave me the money to buy Star Gazer. - He gave it to you? - Yes. He did. Oh. Yeah. That's right. He did. Didn't he? Well. That's no reason why you should leave me. My show. I mean. Believe me. It will be much better without me. Good night. Steve. Where is she? - She quit the show. - Say. That's great. Boy. Are you a lucky stiff. I tried 10 years to get rid of a girl I married in South Bend. Indiana. I'm gonna put this show on with that girl if it takes me a year. You haven't got a year. You got only 60 days. Right.
I gotta work fast. Look. Have you still got that 200 bucks I paid you back? Funny. I never felt that dough was mine. Thanks. Duff. [MUTED DIALOGUE] I'm sorry to hear you're leaving tonight. Thanks. Dora. Bet you haven't saved a dime all summer long. Oh. It takes money to keep a horse in training. - Honest. Sally. I admire you. - Thanks. You'd make a swell wife for some guy. What made you think of that? If you'd go through all this for a horse. What would you do for some man? [CHUCKLES] LOUIS: The. Uh. Same answer? That Raleigh don't take no for an answer. Does he? Oh.
Why don't you see him. Sally? You know you want to. Why don't you give your heart a break? Perhaps I'd rather give him the break. The sooner he forgets me. The sooner he'll get his show on. I'm sorry. Sir. She will not see you. - What did she say? - Nothing. Sir. She read the note? Yes. Sir. But the answer is still no. All right. Thanks. Louis. [DUCK QUACKING] Get away. BLAKELEY: Hey. You. Where are you going? Hey. You're putting on a little weight. Aren't you? - Oh.
I'm just taking out my laundry. - Yeah? Oh. So you're a musician too? Yeah. I decided to be the life of the party in 10 easy lessons. Well. Play something for me. You'd like it better after the next lesson. I'd like it now. Play. It'll sound awful corny. Yeah. Give me that. I think you're fired. Now I know you're fired. So that's where my feed's been going. Eh? You get out of here. Hurry up. Go on. Get out of here. That was a good. Stiff workout. He jumps like a kitten. I'll say. He's in top form. Right on edge. Well. That's your last workout before you go to the post.
Jimmy. Cool him out and don't give him too much water. Yes. Sir. - What do you really think of him. Sonny? - I think he's got a great chance to win. Gee. I hope so. Sally. I wanna talk to you for a minute. - Come on sit down. Huh? - All right. Sally. There's... There's been something bothering me for a long time. - Something I want to tell you about. - Well. What is it? Well. I feel pretty bad because I know how things are between you and Steve. There's nothing between us anymore. Do you mind if I tell you I don't believe you? You're still kind of crazy about Steve. Aren't you? Sure. You are. I knew it all the time. But I've got an idea.
An idea that'll make everything all right. Now. There's $25.000 in it for the winner of tomorrow's race. That dough would go a long way towards helping Steve put his show on. Wouldn't it? Would it? But you don't mean that we'd... Sure. I do. With that 25.000 bucks. Steve's troubles are practically over. How could I give it to Steve? Part of that money belongs to you. No part of it's mine. That's another thing I wanna put you straight on. You see. The money you thought was mine. Steve gave me to give to you. He did? But what about Nicki and George? - They own a part of Star Gazer now. - Oh. Don't worry about Nicki and George. I fixed it with them this afternoon. They're willing to put their winnings into Steve's show too. Oh. Sonny. You're a darling. GEORGE: Hello.
Peoples. - Hello. SONNY: Hello. George. - How are you? - How are you? - Glad to see you. - How are you? Wait a minute. Tell me. How is my horse jumping? Just like a kitten. - Do you think he's going to win? - George. He's got to win. I want to thank you and Nicki for what you're doing. Oh. That's all right. Maybe Steve is going to put my nephew in the show. You know Nicki sings just like a robin red chest. SALLY: Hello. Peter. GEORGE: Hi there. - Hello. How are you? - Hello. - Say.
What's the matter with you? - Got a load of grief for you guys. Bad news? SONNY: Well. We're sure getting the breaks. - Yeah. And they're all bad. Where's Peter? I don't know. But he ought to be ready by now. Any you guys got a pin? Hey. Pete. Come on. Will you? It's almost post time. Are you all ready? - All I need's a pin. - What do you want a pin for? - To hold your hat on? - To keep my pants up. There's a pin. Hey. Get away from there. Come on. Up you go. Listen. Star Gazer. You've got to win.
[BUGLE PLAYS FANFARE] My dove. Do you think Dubonnet will win? He'd better. This is one race I want to win. Well. He's a very likely-Iooking animal. MAN 1: Come on up a little bit. Come on. - Up. Easy. Now. Take it easy. MAN 2: Now. Go. [CROWD CHEERING] - Oh. Sonny. L... - Nicki. Come with me. Sing. [NICKI SINGING "LARGO AL FACTOTUM"] Oh. Sonny. I'm afraid he'll never overcome that lead. SONNY: Come on.
Star Gazer. Come on. Boy. Come on. Nicki. Sing. Sing. Nicki. - Come on. Star Gazer. - Bring him in. Come on. Star Gazer. Come on. Star Gazer. - Come on. Star Gazer. - Get him in there. Pete. Get him in. [ORCHESTRA PLAYING] [CAR HONKS] Wait a minute. Children. It's your Broadway And it was my Broadway And I can remember just yesterday When I first came and gave my all, singing: [SINGING] Tomorrow night At the Darktown Strutters' Ball [SPEAKING] Up in the lights were Montgomery and Stone Sir Harry Lauder Al Jolson and George M.

POLLYANNA COMES TO LIFE. THANK YOU. AND SOME OF THOSE MIXED CHOCOLATES, AND... OOH, SOME OF THOSE CARAMELS OVER THERE. THAT ALL RIGHT WITH YOU, POLLYANNA? WHAT'S UP? OH, NOTHING. THAT MAN OVER THERE, I THINK SAW HIM AT THE CONSERVATORY THIS MORNING, THAT'S ALL. HE FOLLOWED YOU HERE. DON'T BE SILLY. MMM, NICE-LOOKING. I WAS AT THE CONSERVATORY THIS MORNING. MAYBE HE FOLLOWED ME. DON'T STARE AT HIM LIKE THAT. HERE YOU ARE, MISS. THANK YOU. I BEG YOUR PARDON, BUT YOU DROPPED THIS. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY LETTERS. PARDON ME, I SAW IT DROP FROM YOUR PURSE. WHY, I DON'T RECALL HAVING ANY ENVELOPE. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OH, HERE. YOU OPEN THIS. I'M NO GOOD IN A CRISIS. A CONCERT. PRETTY TAME BEGINNING FOR AN ADVENTURE. OH, THEY ALL START SLOWLY. BOX SEATS, 2 AND 3. THAT MEANS HE'S RESERVED SEAT NUMBER 1 FOR HIMSELF. DO YOU THINK HE- OH, DON'T BE RIDICULOUS. OH LISA, HE'S COMING THIS WAY. DON'T GET EXCITED. BE CASUAL. NONCHALANT. OH, IT'S THRILLING! YOU'RE GOING, OF COURSE! I'M NOT GOING, OF COURSE. OH, THEN I WON'T BE ABLE TO GO. YOU KNOW MY FATHER ONLY LETS ME GO OUT WITH YOU. OTHERWISE I'LL HAVE TO BE IN BED AT 10:00. PLEASE, LISA. ALL RIGHT, HILDEGARD, I'LL GO. BUT YOU HAVE TO SIT NEXT TO SEAT NUMBER 1. SEAT NUMBER 1, OVER THERE, PLEASE. Isn't it thrilling? Open it before I burst. Don't be so childish.
What does it say? What is it? Is he-is he- you know, very fresh? Show it to me. Don't be such a pig. Let me see it. It's from him, isn't it? Yes, it is. You might tell me what it says. A bunch of nonsense. No, no, you wouldn't. Shh! HILDEGARD, LET'S GO HOME. DON'T BE SILLY. YOU MUST TELL HIM. THANK YOU FOR COMING. DID YOU ENJOY THE PROGRAM? WE THOUGHT YOU WERE SIMPLY DIVINE. WHAT DID YOU LIKE BEST? THE BRAHMS WAS WONDERFUL. I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD IT BEFORE. YOU SEE, I'M A STUDENT AT THE CONSERVATORY. YES, I KNOW. I SAW YOU THERE YESTERDAY. PLEASE MR. MICHAILOW, WOULD YOU SIGN THIS? OF COURSE. A FELLOW MUSICIAN? AND A VERY GOOD ONE, TOO. YOU HAD THE SENSE TO PREFER BRAHMS TO MY MAZURKA. OH, I DIDN'T MEAN-
MR. MICHAILOW, I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT A LITTLE WHILE AGO IN THE CONCERT HALL I WASN'T NODDING TO YOU AT ALL. I WAS NODDING TO MY FRIEND HERE. THEN I'M GLAD I MISUNDERSTOOD. WON'T YOU COME TO THE CASCADE AND HAVE A BITE OF SUPPER WITH ME? OH, WHAT A BORE. I HAVE TO BE HOME AT 11:00, MY FATHER'S EXPECTING ME. LISA CAN GO. OH NO, HILDEGARD, I COULDN'T POSSIBLY GO WITHOUT YOU. OF COURSE YOU CAN, DON'T BE SILLY. OH NO, I COULDN'T. NO. NO. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE? SOME ORANGE ICE, PLEASE. MOTHER NEVER LETS ME EAT IN HERE. MERCI. YOU LIKE IT HERE? IT'S VERY NICE. MY DEAR, FORGIVE ME, BUT UM... YOU SHOULD NEVER USE THAT WORD IN A RESTAURANT BECAUSE... AND AFTER THAT, A NICE OMELET OR A NICE DESSERT. YOU SEE? YOU'RE MAKING FUN OF ME. NO, NO, FAR FROM IT.
I'M MUCH TOO GRATEFUL TO YOU. YOU KNOW, AFTER ONE OF MY CONCERTS WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS THERE'S A TERRIFYING SILENCE AROUND ME WHICH TONIGHT YOU FILL WITH YOUR DELICIOUS HARMONY. YOU DO SAY THE NICEST THINGS- I'VE SAID THAT WORD AGAIN. NOW TELL ME, WITH WHOM ARE YOU STUDYING AT THE CONSERVATORY? PROFESSOR RAYFIELD. OH, AN EXCELLENT MUSICIAN. INCIDENTALLY, AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE. DO YOU KNOW, I DON'T BELIEVE I EVER THANKED YOU FOR THE TICKETS. YOU CAME. THAT WAS THE IMPORTANT THING. YOU SEE, I'VE NEVER BEEN OUT BEFORE, ALONE, WITH A... A MAN? MM-HMM. YOU SORRY YOU CAME? NO. BUT IT'S ALL SO NEW AND EXCITING. IT'S AN ADVENTURE. YOU SEE, THE GIRLS AT THE CONSERVATORY ARE ALWAYS LYING ABOUT THEIR ADVENTURES- WELL, I WON'T HAVE TO LIE BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL ONE.
WHY DID YOU SEND ME THE TICKETS? IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN, BUT... YOU LOVE MUSIC, TOO, SO I THINK YOU'LL UNDERSTAND. SOMETIMES MUSIC BECOMES ALMOST HATEFUL TO ME AND THE CONCERT, AN UNBEARABLE ORDEAL. I'M ONLY CONSCIOUS OF A GREAT LONELINESS. BUT WHEN I MET YOU, I DIDN'T FEEL LONELY ANY LONGER. I LOOKED FORWARD TO THE CONCERT. I FELT THAT YOU MUST BE THERE, THAT I MUST PLAY FOR YOU. I - I THINK I MUST GO HOME NOW. WHEN CAN I SEE YOU TOMORROW? YOU CAN'T, I HAVE TO BE AT THE CONSERVATORY AT HALF PAST- BEFORE THAT. I'M BUSY. AND AFTERWARDS? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. AW, THEN DON'T GO TO THE CONSERVATORY ONCE. IT'LL DO YOU GOOD TO MISS A LESSON. I'VE ALWAYS SAID IT WAS THE LESSONS I MISSED THAT MADE ME A PIANIST. PLEASE, I MUST SEE YOU AGAIN. I'LL WAIT FOR YOU AT THE CONCERT HALL AT HALF PAST 5:00. YOU'LL COME? I BELIEVE... I CAN'T.
HERE'S YOUR MUSIC CASE, MISS LISA. YOU LEFT IT. OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WAITING FOR YOU... SINCE YOU COULDN'T ARRANGE TO MEET ME. BUT THE PROFESSOR WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE. HE'S NOT COMING. I'M THE PROFESSOR TODAY. WELL LISA, QUITE A SURPRISE, EH? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FORMER PUPIL NOW, MICHAEL? GROWN TO BE A BIG GIRL, HASN'T SHE? NOW, DON'T YOU DISGRACE ME. YOU SHOW THIS FAMOUS FELLOW THAT WE KNOW OUR MUSIC, TOO. SEE YOU LATER, MICHAEL. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. JUST FANCY, AT MY AGE, YOU CAN PERMIT A LIE TO DEAR OLD PROFESSORS. HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING? BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE YOU AGAIN. BECAUSE I HAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. DON'T BE ANGRY, PLEASE. LET'S WORK. THE 12th SONATA IN A MAJOR BY MOZART. THE FIRST MOVEMENT OF MOZART'S SONATA IN A MAJOR IS WRITTEN IN THE FORM OF VARIATIONS. IN THE FIRST VARIATION, THE RHYTHM CHANGES BUT THE HARMONIC SEQUENCE REMAINS UNCHANGED. AND THE MELODY IS ALTERED ONLY TO THIS EXTENT
SO THAT THE EAR CAN STILL RECOGNIZE IT. INDEED, ITS DOMINANT TONES REMAIN INTACT. AND THEY'RE EMPHASIZED BY THE INTRODUCTION OF 3 HALFTONE FIGURATIONS. HOWEVER, THE TRI-VOCALIZED CHARACTER- THE THEME OF THE FIRST VARIATION- BECOMES A SEQUENCE INSTEAD OF A COMPLETE MINGLING OF THE 3 VOICES BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE TWO LOWER VOICES SIMPLY ROUND OUT AND COMPLETE THE BABBLING MELODY. NOW THE DESIRE OF THE MELODY TO FREE ITSELF FROM TONAL ACCESSORIES ARE MODEST, WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE. THE INBORN URGE OF EVERY MELODY- NAMELY, TO ACHIEVE UNISON- IS IN THIS WAY ACCOMPLISHED. THIS TECHNIQUE BY WHICH THE PARTS COMPLETE THEMSELVES IN THE POINT OF VIEW OF RHYTHM IS DESIGNATED AS COMPLEMENTARY RHYTHMIC. IS IT ALL QUITE CLEAR TO YOU, MISS LISA? PLEASE LET ME ALONE. IT'S QUITE IMPOSSIBLE. WHAT'S IMPOSSIBLE? GOING OUT WITH YOU, LETTING YOU LIE TO THE PROFESSOR, THIS KISSING IN THE CORNER. IT ISN'T LIKE ME, I HATE IT. MY MOTHER COMES HOME TOMORROW. I CAN'T LIE TO HER, BUT I'D HAVE TO.
I'LL SAY GOOD-BYE NOW. NO, LISA, DEAR- WE MUST NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN. PLEASE. YOU MUSTN'T EVEN THINK OF ME AGAIN. DARLING, COME HERE. YES, MOTHER. THOSE TRAIN TRIPS ARE SO TIRING. I WISH I HAD THE COURAGE TO FLY. WHAT DID YOU DO WHILE I WAS AWAY? OH... NOT MUCH OF ANYTHING. GO ANYWHERE? YES, THE OTHER DAY WITH HILDEGARD. WE WENT TO THE MOVIES. WAS IT FUN? MM-HMM. IF MADAM WOULD COME OUTSIDE A MOMENT, THERE'S A WOMAN OUT THERE. I'LL COME AT ONCE. HERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR A LONG-LEGGED CHILD I USED TO KNOW. MOMMY, MOMMY, COME HERE! MOMMY, COME AND LOOK! QUICK! MOMMY! OH, YOU DARLING! YOU ANGEL!
OH, IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GOWN IN THE WHOLE WORLD. WON'T I LOOK DRESSY? A BACKLESS EVENING GOWN! THAT MAKES IT OFFICIAL, I AM GROWN UP. OH, YOU'RE THE SWEETEST MOTHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. AND I LOVE THE GOWN SO MUCH AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME- WAS IT EXPENSIVE? DARLING, YOU MUST LET ME GO NOW. THERE'S A WOMAN OUTSIDE I'VE GOT TO TALK TO. OH, I'M SORRY. BUT I WAS SO THRILLED. YES? BUT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE PHONED ME, I TOLD YOU I- ON NO, THAT'S QUITE IMPOSSIBLE. NO, I TELL YOU I WON'T. NO, I'M GOING TO HANG UP NOW. I- YOU'RE GOING AWAY? YES, I HEARD YOU BUT- I CAN'T MEET YOU. OH, I- I COULDN'T DO THAT- NO, YOU MUSTN'T EXPECT ME. YOU MUSTN'T EVEN WAIT FOR ME, I- NO, I'M AFRAID NOT. NO. YES. WELL, WHAT DO YOU SAY, LET'S DANCE!
I KNOW THIS ISN'T QUITE THE SORT OF PLACE FOR YOU, LISA, DEAR, BUT THERE'S CERTAINLY NOBODY HERE WHO COULD POSSIBLY KNOW YOU OR ME. I CAN ONLY STAY A HALF AN HOUR. HALF AN HOUR, ALL RIGHT. WE WANT SOME DESSERT. ARE YOU STILL ANGRY WITH ME FOR TELEPHONING YOU? I BEGGED YOU NOT TO DO IT. I HAD TO SLIP OUT AFTER MOTHER WENT TO BED. I COULDN'T HELP IT. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO LEAVE WITHOUT SEEING YOU AGAIN. LISA- ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. WHY SO QUIET? AREN'T YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT HAPPY WE CAN SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN ONCE MORE BEFORE I LEAVE. WHERE ARE YOU GOING? PARIS, TOMORROW. WHEN WILL YOU BE BACK? I DON'T KNOW, PERHAPS... WHAT I CAN'T REALIZE IS GOING AWAY, LEAVING YOU. ONE HOUR OF ROMANCE I OWE TO YOU ONE HOUR OF ROMANCE WHEN MY KISSES WHIRL YOU
YOU HELD ME NEAR YOU CLOSE TO YOUR HEART I STILL CAN HEAR YOU SAY "WE NEVER WILL PART" WE PLANNED OUR FUTURE AND WE REALLY BELIEVED IT THOUGH WE NEVER ACHIEVED IT ALL THAT ONLY WAS MEANT TO BE ONE HOUR OF ROMANCE A MEMORY... ONE HOUR OF ROMANCE. THAT WAS HEAVEN TO ME THE MAN WHO KISSED ME YESTERDAY WAS JUST A STRANGER, STRANGE TO SAY. LIFE WAS MEANT THAT WAY THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS LOVE, I FIND, IT'S JUST A MASK WE HIDE BEHIND. AND THEN PRETEND WE'RE GAY WE SAY "THIS TIME IS REAL, AT LAST," AND AFTER LOVE HAS COME AND PASSED WE BRUSH THE TEARS AWAY. BEFORE I GO STRAIGHT TO THE DEVIL I'LL BE FRANK AND ON THE LEVEL BECAUSE I STILL REMEMBER- ONE HOUR OF ROMANCE I OWE TO YOU ONE HOUR OF ROMANCE WHEN MY KISSES WHIRL YOU YOU HELD ME NEAR CLOSE TO YOUR HEART
I STILL CAN HEAR YOU SAY "WE NEVER WILL PART" WE PLANNED OUR FUTURE AND WE REALLY BELIEVED IT I'LL REMEMBER OUR KISS- WELL, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HER? NOTHING, I HOPE. WAITER, CHECK! RIGHT AWAY, SIR. BUT WHAT IS ALL THIS? NOTHING AT ALL, DEAR. THIS PLACE MAKES ME NERVOUS. LET'S GET AWAY FROM HERE. YES, OF COURSE. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BEFORE BEGINNING MY ENTERTAINMENT I SHOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS IS ALL STRICTLY ON THE LEVEL. NO TRICKERY, NO SLEIGHT OF HAND, NO FRAUD OR DECEIT. I SHOOT GENUINE BULLETS COME. AT GENUINE LIVING TARGETS. UNLESS MY AIM IS PERFECT, AND MY HAND STEADY, EVERY SHOT WOULD BE FATAL. MICHAEL MICHAILOW! YES, SIR. THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT MY ASSOCIATION WITH MICHAEL MICHAILOW. HAS THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS TO ASK THE WITNESS?
YES, MISTER PRESIDENT. WITNESS, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE TIME WHEN THE ACCUSED FAINTED AND SHE SHOT MICHAEL MICHAILOW, DIDN'T YOU ASK HIM IF HE KNEW HER? IT HAS BEEN TESTIFIED THAT THE ACCUSED AND THE MURDERED MAN STARED AT EACH OTHER FOR A LONG TIME AND THEN SHE SUDDENLY FAINTED. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. DIDN'T YOU COUPLE THIS THINGS TOGETHER IN YOUR OWN MIND? I MEAN, DIDN'T THEY STRIKE YOU AS CAUSE AND EFFECT? WEREN'T YOU CURIOUS ABOUT IT? DIDN'T YOU GET ANY EXPLANATION? NO, SIR. NONE. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. ATTORNEY FOR THE DEFENSE? WAIVE QUESTIONING. YOU MAY SIT DOWN, WITNESS. MR. ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION, DO YOU WISH TO CALL ANY MORE WITNESSES? NO, MR. PRESIDENT. AND THE DEFENSE? WE'VE NO TESTIMONY TO OFFER. ACCUSED, BY YOUR CONTINUED SILENCE YOU HAVE SO FAR OBSTRUCTED EVERY EFFORT OF THIS COURT TO REACH AN UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR CRIME. YOU KILLED A HUMAN BEING.
WHY? I'VE NOTHING TO SAY. YOU MUST HAVE STOOD IN SOME SORT OF RELATIONSHIP TO THE MAN YOU SHOT. SOMETHING MUST HAVE OCCURRED BETWEEN YOU IN THE PAST. IF YOU WILL ONLY TELL US WHAT IT WAS, PERHAPS WE, THE JUDGES AND THE JURY WHO HAVE TO DECIDE YOUR FATE, WILL FIND MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WILL PERMIT US TO LOOK AT YOUR CRIME IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT. CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WILL JUSTIFY US PERHAPS IN LIGHTENING YOUR PUNISHMENT. MADAM KOWALSKA, IT IS A QUESTION OF YOUR LIFE. Why don't you say something? WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT OF ME? I KILLED HIM. SENTENCE ME. THERE BEING NO FURTHER TESTIMONY, WE WILL HEAR THE FINAL SPEECH OF THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTIONS. MAY IT PLEASE THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE AND GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY, I SHALL TAKE VERY LITTLE OF YOUR TIME. THE ACCUSED ADMITTED HER GUILT WHEN SHE WAS ARRESTED. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE HEARD THE TESTIMONY OF MANY EYEWITNESSES OF THE CRIME. IT WAS MURDER! - DELIBERATE, PREMEDITATED, COLD-BLOODED MURDER!
BEFORE THE LAW, THE ACCUSED IS GUILTY- GUILTY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT! IT'S OF NO IMPORTANCE WHAT HER MOTIVES MAY HAVE BEEN: JEALOUSY, HATE, REVENGE. YOU MUST NOT LET HER SILENCE INFLUENCE YOU, GENTLEMEN. IT MUST NOT AWAKEN IN YOU ANY SYMPATHY FOR HER WHATEVER! IT'S MURDER, ISN'T IT? MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES? THEY HAVEN'T PUT IN THEIR APPEARANCE YET. YEAH, THAT'S ALL FOR NOW. HER LAWYER'S JUST STARTING HIS SPEECH TO THE JURY. HAVE YOU NOT ALL FELT, GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY, THAT THE ACCUSED WAS FORCED TO KEEP SILENT? BECAUSE SHE WAS SHAKEN TO THE DEPTH OF HER BEING, INCAPABLE OF UTTERING A SINGLE WORD. HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN A HUMAN BEING WHOM A CRUSHING EXPERIENCE HAS RENDERED SPEECHLESS? SPEECHLESS WITH TERROR AND CONSTERNATION, SO COMPLETELY... SHATTERED AS TO BE ENTIRELY INDIFFERENT TO HER FATE. SURELY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SIMPLE MATTER FOR THE ACCUSED TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU AS A REPENTANT SINNER, AND TO HAVE INSISTED THAT THE MURDERED MAN HAD PERSECUTED HER WITH A LIFETIME OF TORTURE. IN SHORT, TO HAVE APPEALED TO YOUR PITY. THE SILENCE OF THE ACCUSED PLEADS NOT AGAINST HER, BUT FOR HER! I WILL ASK THE ATTORNEY FOR THE DEFENSE
TO PAUSE A MOMENT. CERTAINLY, MR. PRESIDENT. THANK YOU. PUT IT DOWN THERE. IT IS MY DUTY TO PLACE BEFORE YOU CERTAIN INFORMATION WHICH HAS JUST REACHED ME. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS FOUND THIS SUITCASE IN THE BAGGAGE ROOM OF THE UNION STATION. IT IS THE PROPERTY OF THE ACCUSED. IT IS POSSIBLE, THEREFORE, THAT IT CONTAINS EVIDENCE WHICH MAY TELL US SOMETHING OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MICHAEL MICHAILOW AND THE ACCUSED... A RELATIONSHIP WHICH THE ACCUSED HAS PERSISTENTLY REFUSED TO EXPLAIN. SHOULD ITS CONTENTS PROVE TO HAVE SUCH A BEARING ON THIS CASE, I SHALL PROBABLY INSIST UPON RECALLING CERTAIN WITNESSES. OPEN THAT SUITCASE. NO. NO, NO! MY CLIENT IS WILLING TO MAKE A FULL AND COMPLETE STATEMENT- BUT ONLY ON CONDITION THAT THE COURT DOES NOT OPEN THAT SUITCASE UNTIL IT HAS HEARD WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY! CONDITIONS FROM THE ACCUSED? TOO RIDICULOUS TO CONSIDER! THEN I'LL NEVER TALK! THE HIGH COURT SHOULD NOT PERMIT ITSELF TO BE BLACKMAILED. I INSIST THAT THAT SUITCASE BE OPENED AT ONCE! I PROTEST AGAINST THE TONE AND MANNER OF THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION,
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE COURT TO GRANT THE REQUEST OF THE ACCUSED. THERE MUST BE ABSOLUTE QUIET AMONG THE SPECTATORS! OTHERWISE I WILL HAVE THE COURTROOM CLEARED. THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION WILL BELIEVE WITH ME THAT WE ALL HAVE ONLY ONE DESIRE, AND THAT IS TO ARRIVE AT THE TRUTH. I AM SURE WE SHALL ALL BE ACTING IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE BY PERMITTING THE ACCUSED TO TESTIFY. I DON'T MEAN TO CRITICIZE THE MANNER IN WHICH THE COURT IS CONDUCTING THIS CASE, MR. PRESIDENT, BUT AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STATE, I MUST PROTEST! OH, THE SUITCASE WILL NOT BE LOST WHILE WE LISTEN. THE ACCUSED WILL NOW MAKE HER STATEMENT. BECAUSE OF INFORMATION WHICH MY CLIENT HAS JUST GIVEN ME, I WISH TO CITE PARAGRAPH 48 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE. WHAT SHE IS ABOUT TO SAY MAY BE A VIOLATION OF PUBLIC DECENCY. THEREFORE, I MUST ASK THAT THE COURTROOM BE CLEARED AND HER STATEMENT BE HEARD BEHIND CLOSED DOORS! THE REQUEST OF THE ATTORNEY FOR THE DEFENSE IS GRANTED. THE TESTIMONY WILL BE HEARD BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. CLEAR THE COURT. THE WITNESSES WILL PLEASE HOLD THEMSELVES AVAILABLE OUTSIDE FOR FURTHER QUESTIONING. NOBODY HAS ANY RIGHT TO PUSH PEOPLE OUT OF THE WAY. ACCUSED, MAKE YOUR STATEMENT. IT WAS IN 1912, IN WARSAW. I FEEL THE FLOOD WITHIN ME SURGE I LIVE BUT FOR TODAY I FEEL A WILD IMPULSIVE URGE TO GIVE MY SOUL AWAY
THE MUSIC IN MY HEART SEEMS TO SING DANCE WITH ME AS FAIR AS THE SPRING HOLD ME TIGHT, KISS ME DEAR, FOR TONIGHT YOU CAN HEAR THEM PRAY MAZURKA RULES THE SAVAGE LIGHT AND GUIDES MY FOOLISH HEART SO DANCE WITH ME AND KISS ME, MY LOVE TAKE MY LOVE IT'S YOURS DEAR, ALONE I BELONG TO YOU TELL ME THAT YOU'RE... LOUISE, TAKE THIS BASKET. PUT THOSE OVER THERE, AND THAT ONE THERE. YOU WERE MARVELOUS! THANK YOU, DEAR. YOU'RE SWEET. GOOD-BYE! GOOD-BYE! THANK YOU, DEAR. WHAT DARLINGS. WHAT A HOUSE. WHAT A NIGHT! WHAT FLOWERS! SOME OF THEM MUST BE ARTIFICIAL. STELLA, LOCK THAT DOOR. NO VISITORS. VERA, YOU'RE A FOOL TO GIVE ALL THIS UP. OF COURSE I AM, BUT I'M SO HAPPY I COULD SCREAM!
WHAT'S MARRIAGE TO ALL THIS? NOW, I APPROVE OF MARRIAGE, AND I OUGHT TO KNOW- I'VE HAD 4 HUSBANDS, TWO OF WHOM I REMEMBER. I WISH I WERE A BIGGER STAR, THERE WAS MORE APPLAUSE, MORE FLOWERS, SO I COULD GIVE UP MORE FOR LEONIDE. YOU'RE RIGHT. I ENVY YOU. WHAT'S THE MATTER, WANDA? MICHAEL STRAYING AGAIN? WON'T SEE ME ANYMORE. HARDLY EVER SPEAKS TO ME. SEE WHO IT IS, LOUISE- THEN I SHAN'T NEED YOU ANYMORE. HELLO, MICHAEL. EVENING. HELLO. VERA, MY DEAR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS EVENING. YOU WERE A MAGNIFICENT VOICE AND YOU DANCED LIKE A DREAM. IT WAS ALL YOUR MUSIC. OH, TO THINK I SHALL NEVER CONDUCT FOR YOU AGAIN. YOU WERE SUPERB. WE WERE ALL SUPERB - CONSIDERING WHAT WE HAD TO SING! YOU KNOW, MICHAEL, YOU OUGHT TO BE KINDER TO WANDA. AH, WANDA. ANCIENT HISTORY. AS USUAL WITH YOU. NOW VERA, DON'T FLY THROUGH ALL OF MY HABITS.
THEY'RE VERY REGULAR. THE BAD ONES, TOO. HOW'D YOU LIKE MY FLOWERS? YOUR FLOWERS WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THAT I'VE EVER SEEN. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, PERHAPS, BUT I FEAR NOT AS IMPORTANT TO YOU AS THESE- "FROM YOUR ADORING HUSBAND-TO-BE, LEONIDE." OH, MY DEAR VERA. YOU'RE A FOOL, YOU'RE AN IDIOT! YOU CAN'T GIVE UP ALL THIS FOR A SILLY WEDDING RING. SILLY WEDDING RING? YOU SCOFF AT MARRIAGE, DON'T YOU, MICHAEL? BUT YOU BELONG HERE! YOU'RE AN ARTIST. YOU'LL NEVER BE CONTENTED LIVING OUT YOUR LIFE WITH A... WITH A DULL, STOLID SOLDIER. NOT VERY COMPLIMENTARY TO MY FIANCE. I HOPE HE BEATS YOU DAILY TILL YOU'RE BLACK AND BLUE. OH HO! YOU'RE HOPELESS. OH, SILLY, RIDICULOUS WOMAN. YOU KNOW THAT I'M TRAGICALLY IN LOVE WITH YOU. HOW CAN YOU BE SO CRUEL AS TO LEAVE ME LIKE THIS? NOW, MICHAEL, I'VE KNOWN YOU TOO LONG AND TOO WELL. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT REAL LOVE, BECAUSE YOU LOVE ONLY YOURSELF. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FOOL OTHER WOMEN, BUT YOU DON'T IMPRESS ME ONE LITTLE BIT. ALL RIGHT, GET MARRIED!
BUT I WARN YOU: I'LL NEVER REST UNTIL I'VE GOT YOU BACK WHERE YOU BELONG, EVEN IF I HAVE TO COMPROMISE YOU. YES? WONDERFUL OPERA, MICHAEL. THANKS. I'VE JUST BEEN TRYING TO PERSUADE YOUR FIANCEE TO RUN AWAY WITH ME. I'VE CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT THAT OPERA. I THINK IT'S PRETTY TERRIBLE. THAT'S WHAT I'VE ALWAYS SAID. BUT NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE ME. WELL, YOU TWO... WORST OF LUCK. MY NAME IS LEONIDE KIROW. MINE'S VERA KOWALSKA. AH, NOW I REMEMBER YOU! I THOUGHT YOU LOOKED FAMILIAR. ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING TOMORROW? GETTING MARRIED. THAT'S FUNNY. SO AM I. ARE YOU GOING TO HATE ME FOR TAKING YOU AWAY FROM ALL THIS? NICE LITTLE WORD FOR MY COOKING NOW AND THEN- THAT'S ALL THE APPLAUSE I WANT. YOU KNOW, SEEING YOU LIKE THIS ON A STAGE- OH, I KNOW IT'S JUST ACTING, BUT... I COULD'VE KILLED THAT MAN. YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO FEEL THAT WAY AGAIN. MY NAME IS LEONIDE-
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR NAME IS. I LOVE YOU. JUST LET ME... IS IT SERIOUS, DOCTOR? SERIOUS! THERE'S NOTHING THE MATTER WITH YOUR BABY. MY DEAR, YOUNG BABE. GOOD NIGHT, SCHNICKELPITZ. UNCLE DOCTOR'S GOING NOW... TO GIVE OTHER MOTHERS A CHANCE TO WAKE HIM UP. THERE'S A GOOD GIRL. GOOD NIGHT, DARLING. GOOD NIGHT, DARLING! GOOD NIGHT, MAMA. HEARD FROM YOUR HUSBAND LATELY? ONLY LAST WEEK. HE SAID THERE WAS SOME PRETTY HEAVY FIGHTING, BUT HE WASN'T EVEN SCRATCHED, THANK HEAVEN. FINE, FINE. THE ONLY PROBLEM HE HAS IS PHYSICAL. THE MINUTE THE SHELLS START TO FALL, HE RUNS FOR THE NEAREST GENERAL. SORRY I GOT YOU OUT OF BED, DOCTOR. BUT HER EYES LOOKED SO FEVERISH ALL EVENING. ARE YOU SURE- OF COURSE I'M SURE. YOUR CHILD'S IN PERFECT HEALTH. IT'S YOU I'M WORRIED ABOUT. WHY DO YOU COOP YOURSELF UP HERE LIKE A HERMIT HEN? LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING: IF YOUR BABY EVER GETS SICK OF ANYTHING, IT'LL BE YOU.
GIVE HER A VACATION. TAKE ONE YOURSELF. LET A NURSE TAKE CARE OF HER. YES, BUT... YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, DOCTOR. YOU SEE, YOU'RE NOT A MOTHER. DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT. YOU'VE BEEN INVITED EVERYWHERE; YOU GO NOWHERE. LIVE THE PASSION. SEE PEOPLE-HA HA- ESPECIALLY AMUSING PEOPLE, if you can find any. YOU'RE COMING IN TOMORROW, AREN'T YOU? I AM NOT! I'M GOING HOME, I'M GOING TO STAY THERE, AND LEARN HOW TO BECOME A MOTHER. HA HA! GOOD NIGHT. HEY, IT'S VERA! STELLA! FORGIVE ME- LOOK, LOOK, IT'S VERA! WE'VE A WONDERFUL TABLE OVER HERE RESERVED JUST FOR MEMBERS OF THE OPERA. GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK WITH US AGAIN. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! TAKE YOUR PARTNERS FOR THE MAZURKA! MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE, MADAM KIROW? MICHAEL! YOU LEFT ME AFTER ONE MAZURKA;
WE MEET AGAIN TO THE TUNE OF ANOTHER. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! OH, NO, NO. I ASKED THEM TO PLAY IT ESPECIALLY FOR US. SAME OLD MICHAEL. WELL, INTO EACH PARTY A LITTLE RAIN MUST FALL. SHALL WE DANCE? THANK YOU. WELL, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN, VERA DEAR? HAPPY. JUST NOW, A NURSERY'S MY WORLD. I FIND IT VERY EXCITING. GOOD, I'M SO GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO COME TONIGHT. I SENT YOU THAT INVITATION. YOU DID? YES. THE FIRST STEP IN MY... "GET VERA OUT OF THE NURSERY" CAMPAIGN. ANYWAY, I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. WELL, I'M GLAD ONE OF US DID. REMEMBER, WE HAVE THE NEXT DANCE. CERTAINLY. WON'T YOU INTRODUCE ME? OF COURSE. UM... VERA, THIS IS XENIA, A NEW MEMBER OF OUR OPERA COMPANY. MADAM KIROW. HOW DO YOU DO. CHARMED.
ISN'T THERE SOME WINE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE? OH HO HO! OH, NOW THAT'S THE LAST DANCE, AND WHAT A PITY! JUST WHEN WE WERE HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME! WAIT A MINUTE! I'VE GOT AN IDEA. LET'S CONTINUE AT MY PLACE. OH, DANCE WITH ME AND GIVE ME MY OWN TAKE MY LOVE IT'S YOURS AND YOURS ALONE I BELONG TO YOU TELL ME THAT YOU'RE MINE I BELONG TO YOU TELL ME THAT YOU'RE MINE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. A BEAUTIFUL VOICE LIKE THAT WASTED ON US. WHO CAN FEEL A DRINK? NO! COME ON, NOW. PLEASE! PLEASE! I'M DIZZY. PLEASE! OH, MICHAEL! OH! OH! OLD TIMES, VERA? YOU REMEMBER THEM? SOMETIMES.
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT NIGHT IN PARIS? ABOUT YOUR GLORIOUS PERFORMANCE? WHEN A LOT OF STUDENTS DREW YOUR CARRIAGE THROUGH THE STREETS AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE SINGING AND SHOUTING YOUR PRAISES. YOU RESCUED ME. I EVEN THINK YOU WERE A LITTLE JEALOUS. JEALOUS? I COULD HAVE WRUNG THEIR SILLY NECKS! OH, MICHAEL. OH, LOVE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. THE HARD WORK FOR THE PLAY. YES, YOU WERE SWEET THEN. HAVE I CHANGED SO MUCH? NURSERIES NEVER ENHANCE A LADY'S CHARMS, MY DEAR VERA. WELL, MY HUSBAND DOESN'T FEEL THAT WAY. OH, THEN CHUCK ALL THIS NURSERY BUSINESS AND COME BACK WHERE YOU BELONG! OOH, NOW I'M BEGINNING TO SEE. YOU'RE GOING TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TEMPT ME. I'M GOING RIGHT HOME TO MY NURSERY. ALL RIGHT. BUT IN THE END, I SHALL WIN. NEVER. XENIA, FILL THAT UP FOR ME, WILL YOU? OOH. I BETTER GO. DON'T WANT TO BREAK UP ANY HAPPY HOMES. NO, VERA, ONE DANCE BEFORE YOU GO, PLEASE. YES, MAX!
MAX! PUT ON A WALTZ. YES, MICHAEL. OH, MICHAEL! OOH! OOH... LOOK. OH, THIS IS AWFUL. EVERYTHING IS GOING ROUND AND ROUND. OH, MICHAEL, PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE ME HOME. CARRY ON, EVERYBODY. I'M GOING TO TAKE MADAME KOWALSKA HOME. IS THE BABY AWAKE YET? NO, SHE'S STILL ASLEEP. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE... BUT I MUST... FORGIVE ME... THE BABY'S AWAKE NOW. AW... GO TO SLEEP AGAIN, MY DARLING. SHH. MOMMY'S HERE. THAT'S MY GOOD GIRL. LEON. DEAREST... LEONIDE KIROW IS THE NAME. AND I'M VERA... OH, LEONIDE. LEONIDE, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU. HOLD ME CLOSE!
CLOSER! THERE WASN'T A GENERAL FOR MILES AROUND. THANK YOU. COME ON, DEAREST. THERE'S A GOOD GIRL. GIVE ME YOUR HAND. STAND STILL, NOW, DARLING. YES. WE'LL TIE YOU, PUT YOUR BOW ON PRETTY FOR YOU. AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO FOR A NICE, LONG WALK. OOPS-A-DAISY. THERE YOU ARE, DARLING. SAY, "GOOD-BYE, MAMA. GOOD-BYE, DADDY." BYE, MAMA, BYE DADDY. GOOD-BYE, DARLING. AND NO FLIRTING WITH POLICEMEN. WILL YOU HAVE SOME MORE COFFEE? NO THANKS. VERA, WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'S TROUBLING YOU? NOTHING'S WRONG. NOTHING. THERE IS SOMETHING. YOU'RE SO NERVOUS. NO, I'M NOT. REALLY. IS THIS DEPRESSING YOU SO MUCH? OH, LEONIDE. YOU MUSTN'T EVEN THINK SUCH A THING.
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE. OH, MY DARLING. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW. SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR. I'LL JUST GO AND SEE WHO IT IS. GOING OUT? YES. STELLA'S NOT WELL. I JUST GOT WORD SHE WANTS TO SEE ME. I SHAN'T BE LONG. VERA. I MUST TALK TO YOU, MICHAEL. HOW NICE OF YOU TO COME. LET'S UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR ANY STUPID RENDEZVOUS WITH YOU. VERA. CAN'T YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE, WHAT YOU'RE DOING? I'VE HAD TO LIE TO MY HUSBAND. OH, I WOULD HAVE TOLD HIM THE MOMENT HE CAME HOME, BUT I COULDN'T. I HADN'T THE COURAGE. HE CAME HOME FROM THE FRONT A SICK MAN, HYPER-SENSITIVE. HE NEEDS ME. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO HELP HIM. WHAT ARE YOU DRIVING AT? I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME ANYMORE, NOT TO WRITE. BUT YOU HAVE CALLED. YOU'VE WRITTEN EVERY DAY. WHY I...
I WAS SO FRIGHTENED I-I HADN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK TO LEONIDE. WE'RE DRIFTING APART. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? BLACKMAIL ME WITH THE MEMORY OF THAT NIGHT? OH, VERA, HOW CAN YOU? DON'T YOU- LET ME ALONE. I LOVE MY HUSBAND. I LOVE MY CHILD. THEY'RE ALL THAT MATTER TO ME. TO KEEP THAT LOVE, TO PRESERVE MY HOME, THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I WOULDN'T DO. THAT SOUNDS MELODRAMATIC, MICHAEL. BUT I MEAN EVERY WORD OF IT. THAT'S ALL I CAME TO SAY. LEONIDE. WANT TO DENY IT? THANKS. MR. STAGOFF, YOU DO ANYTHING? ACCORDING TO THE STATUES AND LAWS ENACTED BY- NEVER MIND ALL THAT. TELL ME QUICKLY. THE FACT THAT MR. MICHAILOW EVADED EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY ON YOUR BEHALF, THE FURTHER FACT THAT HE AVOIDED ALL RESPONSIBILITY BY RUNNING AWAY, CERTAINLY ADDED TO THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR GUILT. IT SUBSTANTIATED YOUR HUSBAND'S BELIEF AND THAT OF THE JUDGE THAT YOU HAD BEEN MORE THAN MERELY INDISCREET. BUT COULDN'T MY HUSBAND HAVE FORGIVEN ME? HIS HONOR. YES, OF COURSE.
HIS HONOR. BUT WHAT ABOUT MY BABY? THE LAW STATES SPECIFICALLY THAT IF THE MARRIAGE IS BROKEN THROUGH THE FAULT OF THE WIFE, THE CHILD IS AUTOMATICALLY AWARDED TO THE HUSBAND. THOSE ARE CONSEQUENCES, MADAME, WHICH ONE JUST HAS TO BEAR. HOW EASY IT IS FOR YOU TO CONDEMN. MADAME, IT IS SIMPLY MY DUTY TO INFORM YOU THAT THE DIVORCE DECREE OF MY CLIENT HAS BEEN GRANTED. CAPTAIN KIROW EXPECTS THAT YOU WILL VACATE THIS APARTMENT, HERETO OCCUPIED BY YOU JOINTLY, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. BUT MY BABY. SHE WAS TAKEN FROM ME. AFTER THAT, MONTHS IN THE HOSPITAL. WHEN I CAME OUT, LEONIDE AND MY CHILD HAD DISAPPEARED. STELLA TOLD ME HE HAD CHANGED HIS NAME FROM KIROW TO KOSLOV, BUT NO ONE KNEW WHERE HE HAD GONE. I HAD TO TAKE MY SINGING UP AGAIN. I DIDN'T WANT TO STARVE. BUT MY VOICE WAS ALMOST GONE. I COULD STILL FIND EMPLOYMENT BUT ONLY IN LITTLE CHEAP CABARETS. THE ONE THING THAT KEPT ME GOING FOR 15 YEARS WAS THE DREAM THAT I MIGHT SEE MY CHILD AGAIN. MY FIRST THOUGHT IN EVERY STRANGE CITY WAS, "PERHAPS LEONIDE LIVES HERE... WITH HER." I HAD ALMOST GIVEN UP HOPE WHEN I CAME TO THIS CITY. I WANT TO SPEAK TO MR. KOSLOV. JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE.
OH, MADAME. IF MADAME WOULD COME OUTSIDE A MOMENT, THERE'S A WOMAN OUT THERE. I'LL COME AT ONCE. HERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR A LONG-LEGGED CHILD I USED TO KNOW. WHAT IS IT, PLEASE? I AM MRS. KOSLOV. WELL, I... I REALLY WANTED TO SPEAK TO MR. KOSLOV. MY HUSBAND DIED 3 YEARS AGO. AND HIS CHILD? MY DAUGHTER? YOUR DAUGHTER? HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT? I - I USED TO KNOW CAPTAIN KOSLOV IN WARSAW. HE WAS ALWAYS VERY KIND TO ME. I ALSO KNEW HIS FIRST WIFE. MOMMY, MOMMY, COME HERE! OH, PLEASE, I- MOMMY, COME AND LOOK, QUICK. EXCUSE ME A MOMENT. MOMMY. LISA, WHAT IS IT? OH, YOU DARLING, YOU ANGEL. OH, IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GOWN IN THE WHOLE WORLD. WON'T I LOOK DRESSY? A BACKLESS EVENING GOWN. THAT MAKES IT OFFICIAL. I AM GROWN UP.
OH, YOU'RE THE SWEETEST MOTHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, AND I LOVE THE GOWN, AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME. WAS IT EXPENSIVE? PLEASE LET ME GO NOW, DEAR. THERE'S A WOMAN OUTSIDE. I HAVE TO TALK TO HER. OH, I'M SORRY. BUT I WAS SO THRILLED. I MUST TELL YOU SOMETHING IN CONFIDENCE BEFORE WE TALK ANY FURTHER ABOUT THIS. WHY, I'M SURE IT WASN'T YOUR INTENTIONS. IT WOULD BE THE LAST THING YOU'D WANT TO DO TO UPSET A YOUNG GIRL, HARDLY MORE THAN A CHILD. SHE MAY COME IN ANY MOMENT. SHE HAS NO SUSPICION, NO IDEA, THAT I'M NOT HER REAL MOTHER. LISA WAS NEVER TOLD THAT HER OWN MOTHER DIED IN WARSAW DURING THE WAR. SHE WAS A CHILD, OF COURSE-REMEMBERS NOTHING OF THAT TIME. IT-IT WAS LEONIDE'S WISH THAT LISA SHOULD NEVER LEARN THE TRUTH. I STRONGLY OPPOSED THIS AT FIRST, BUT THEN I REALIZED THAT SHE WAS TOO YOUNG TO GRASP THE TRUTH AT THE TIME. AND THEN, WHEN I SAW HER GROWING UP, SAW HOW FOND SHE WAS OF ME, I - I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO CONFUSE, TO STARTLE HER, TO TELL HER THAT... OH, PLEASE BELIEVE ME. I'VE DEVOTED MY LIFE TO HER. WHY, I'VE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN THAT SHE WAS NOT MY OWN. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. WON'T YOU SIT DOWN? IN MY EXCITEMENT, I-
NO THANK YOU. MAY I ASK WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE? CAN I BE OF ANY HELP TO YOU? YOU'RE VERY KIND. NO, IT WAS-IT WAS NOTHING IMPORTANT. I WANTED... WELL, YOU SEE, I FOUND THE NAME OF KOSLOV IN THE DIRECTORY, QUITE BY ACCIDENT. AND I JUST THOUGHT I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM AGAIN. CURIOSITY. JUST TO TALK OVER OLD TIMES. MAYN'T I PERHAPS- NO, NO. LISA WILL COME. I'M SORRY. BUT-BUT YOU MUST REALIZE THAT I WAS SO TERRIFIED I COULDN'T... DON'T APOLOGIZE. YOU'RE QUITE RIGHT. GOOD-BYE. I HAD SEEN MY DAUGHTER AGAIN. IT WAS HARD TO REALIZE THAT I MUST NEVER SEE HER AGAIN. THAT I COULD NEVER SAY TO HER, "LISA, I AM YOUR MOTHER." I COULD GIVE HER NOTHING. MY LIFE WOULD DISGUST HER. MY LOVE WOULD ONLY FRIGHTEN HER. SO I SAID, "ALL RIGHT. BE HAPPY BECAUSE AT LAST YOU'VE SEEN HER HAPPY." AND THEN THAT SAME NIGHT... WE FEEL SO BEAUTIFUL AND WE REALLY BELIEVE IT
SO WE'RE NEVER-* WHAT HAPPENED TO HER? WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HER? WHY, SHE FAINTED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HER ACT. THERE. SHE'S COMING TO NOW. WELL, WELL, WHAT'S THE MATTER HERE? WHAT'S THE MATTER? WELL, SHE'S... COME ON, COME ON. GET REAL-YOU'RE HOLDING THE CURTAIN. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BEFORE BEGINNING MY ENTERTAINMENT, I SHOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS IS ALL STRICTLY ON THE LEVEL. NO TRICKERY, NO SLEIGHT OF HAND, NO FRAUD OR DECEIT. I SHOOT GENUINE BULLETS AT GENUINE LIVING TARGETS. UNLESS MY AIM IS PERFECT, MY HAND STEADY, EVERY SHOT WOULD BE FATAL. THANK YOU. MICHAEL MICHAILOW. AND THEN I SHOT HIM. IN THAT SUITCASE YOU'LL FIND MY PAPERS. THEY'LL PROVE THAT I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH. IF YOU'D EXAMINE THEM IN AN OPEN COURT, LISA, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT I WAS HER MOTHER. SHE MUST NEVER KNOW. THAT WAS MY REASON- MY ONLY REASON FOR REFUSING TO TESTIFY IN PUBLIC. AND NOW I BEG YOU: HELP ME TO KEEP THIS STORY FROM MY DAUGHTER.
MADAM KOWALSKA. WHAT YOU HAVE JUST TOLD US PERMITS US TO LOOK AT THE CRIME YOU HAVE COMMITTED IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT. MR. ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION. I ASK THAT THE PUBLIC BE AGAIN ADMITTED TO THE COURTROOM. THE TESTIMONY OF THE ACCUSED HAS NOT CONSTITUTED ANY OFFENSE AGAINST PUBLIC DECENCY, SO THERE'S NO REAL REASON FOR KEEPING ANY OF THE FACTS FROM THIS CASE FROM THE PUBLIC IN OPEN COURT. OPEN COURT. OH, NO. YOU MUSTN'T. THE ACCUSED HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE MAGNANIMITY OF THIS COURT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. SHE HAS CONTINUALLY MEDDLED WITH THE CONDUCT OF THIS TRIAL. I MUST WARN YOU MOST SERIOUSLY NOT- DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND YET WHAT I WANT? YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO KILLED A HUMAN BEING. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS ON TRIAL. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TESTING THE TRUTH OF YOUR STATEMENTS. AFTER THAT, THE CASE GOES TO THE JURY FOR CONSIDERATION. THE COURT MUST RULE OBJECTIVELY. WHATEVER IS VITAL TO RENDERING A JUST AND PROPER VERDICT MUST BE MADE PUBLIC. IT CANNOT BE CONCEALED. QUITE SO. THEREFORE, I RESPECTFULLY MOVE THE PUBLIC BE READMITTED. NO, NO! WILL YOU PLEASE BE QUIET? I CAN'T BE QUIET.
PLEASE, MY DEAR. I DIDN'T CONFESS JUST TO WIN SYMPATHY FOR MYSELF IT WAS ONLY FOR LISA. SHE MUSTN'T KNOW I'M HER MOTHER. SHE MUSTN'T KNOW! THAT'S ENOUGH. WHAT DO YOU WANT? GO AHEAD, SENTENCE ME. I DON'T CARE IF I LIVE OR NOT. MY LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING. I'VE SAVED MY DAUGHTER. HOW COULD I STAND BY NOW AND WATCH YOU WRECK HER HAPPINESS, DELIBERATELY DRAG HER MOTHER'S LIFE BEFORE THE PUBLIC? YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE YOU COMMITTED MURDER. MR. ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION, SAVE THAT FOR THE JURY. NOW, I WANT YOU TO BE SENSIBLE. AND I WARN YOU FOR THE LAST TIME NOT TO INTERRUPT THESE PROCEEDINGS AGAIN. IF YOU DO NOT CONTROL YOURSELF, I SHALL HAVE YOU REMOVED. THE PUBLIC MAY ONCE MORE BE ADMITTED. BAILIFF, PLEASE. WHAT WILL THEY DO? WILL THEY TELL HER? I'M AFRAID THEY MUST. BUT YOU - I REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU. WHY ON EARTH DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ALL THIS LONG AGO? WE WILL NOW CONTINUE WITH THE PROCEEDINGS. SO I WILL ASK THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION TO RESUME HIS FINAL SPEECH. MAY IT PLEASE THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE, GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY,
