00:01:19 [Indistinct chatter]
00:01:21 How about some show? I told you no such as on this show.
00:01:24 Yeah, but just by fun.
00:01:26 Nothing doing.
00:01:27 [Indistinct chatter]
00:01:28 What about that sour comedy you pulled out there tonight?
00:01:30 You told me to lift up that hole in the second act, didn't you?
00:01:33 What's the matter? Didn't you like it?
00:01:35 I liked it. It was terrible.
00:01:36 The way the audience took it, I thought it was funny.
00:01:38 Funny? You couldn't make me laugh no matter how good I felt.
00:01:41 Ha ha, my pal.
00:01:43 Hello, sweetie.
00:01:45 Mix, mix. Not in the theater.
00:01:47 [Indistinct chatter]
00:02:04 Are you Mr. Melvin?
00:02:05 Yeah.
00:02:06 I'm Bonnie King.
00:02:07 Oh, especially, Danny. I thought you were going to be here yesterday.
00:02:10 Yeah, I was, but I missed connection.
00:02:12 Yeah, that's an old gag, girly.
00:02:13 Well, we'll see what you can do.
00:02:15 Play something snappy. Try this baby out.
00:02:18 Come on, kid, do your stuff.
00:02:20 [Music]
00:02:27 Thought you said you was a specialty dancer.
00:02:29 Oh, yeah.
00:02:30 Then why are you doing a chorus routine?
00:02:32 Well, it looks that way because that guy's playing the chorus tempo.
00:02:35 Try it again, Pete.
00:02:37 [Music]
00:02:38 Go ahead.
00:02:39 [Music]
00:02:43 Hey, remember that train leaves at 11.45.
00:02:47 You know me. Skid the pirates, child. I'm always there.
00:02:52 Hey, how about that fine box?
00:02:55 Well, I gotta eat.
00:02:59 Say, I came all the way from Chicago for this job, and you ain't giving me a fair break.
00:03:04 First that guy starts playing a tempo you'd have to have St. Vitus to keep up with,
00:03:08 and then this wisecracker, whoever he is, starts bellowing across the stage.
00:03:12 What's she raving about?
00:03:13 Just so her course she can make the grade.
00:03:15 But I can't. Honest, I can't, Miss Melvin.
00:03:18 Don't be too hard on the kid. Give her a break.
00:03:21 I'm paying the freight on too many rummies without taking on any more. You're out.
00:03:25 But, uh, how about the five bucks?
00:03:27 And that's out, too.
00:03:28 Oh, open up your heart.
00:03:30 Now, listen, I'm sick of your gas and tired of peeling off dough for you, so lay off.
00:03:34 Well, you don't need to get tough about it.
00:03:37 [The boys are shown working on the stage.]
00:04:02 [The boys are shown working on the stage.]
00:04:18 How's Fluff?
00:04:19 Of all the cheap outfits I've took, this trick is the worst.
00:04:22 Well, you can't fight with me over that.
00:04:24 Traveling all night and working all day.
00:04:27 Well, what can you expect from a gorilla like Melvin?
00:04:29 Did you see what happened to that poor little kid tonight?
00:04:32 No.
00:04:33 No, that big ape. There she is out there hopping the book,
00:04:36 Pete's banging away at the piano, and that monster...
00:04:39 I still think it was a dirty, rotten trick.
00:04:42 Listen, Mr. T. Johnson, where do you get off telling me my business?
00:04:45 Well, somebody ought to tell you something about how to run a show.
00:04:48 Any time you don't like the way the shows run, you know what you can do.
00:04:51 You bet I know what I can do.
00:04:53 Then do it.
00:04:54 All right. You're through Saturday night.
00:04:56 Not Saturday night right now.
00:04:58 Give me my dough.
00:04:59 Dough? You owe me dough.
00:05:00 I do.
00:05:01 Not according to my figures.
00:05:02 I don't. According to mine.
00:05:04 All right. I'll even let you get away with that, you big ape.
00:05:08 See you later, folks.
00:05:10 [chatter]
00:05:17 [metal scraping]
00:05:35 [steam hissing]
00:05:50 Hello, kid.
00:05:51 Hello yourself.
00:05:52 Say, what are you doing here?
00:05:54 Oh, I got a date with a class of steam tomorrow.
00:05:57 Yeah?
00:05:58 What are you?
00:05:59 That dinky engine couldn't get up enough steam to pull the whole load, so I got off.
00:06:04 Gee, you didn't get fired.
00:06:05 No, I quit.
00:06:09 Uh, could you use a sandwich?
00:06:11 Yes.
00:06:16 Now, I ain't hungry.
00:06:19 Is that the billboard?
00:06:21 Yes, ma'am. But...
00:06:22 Can I give it the once-over?
00:06:24 Yes.
00:06:25 Thanks.
00:06:26 [steam hissing]
00:06:37 Say...
00:06:50 Gee, it must be great to be on the big wheel,
00:06:53 traveling in sleepers and playing all the regular theaters.
00:06:57 I wish I could make the grade.
00:06:59 You can.
00:07:01 I caught the last act of your show tonight.
00:07:03 And if I knew anything about show business, you were too good to be truthing with that bunch of hands.
00:07:07 Uh, you wouldn't kid me, would you, lady?
00:07:10 I would if I could, mister. I would if I could.
00:07:14 Say, listen, missus. What's your name?
00:07:16 Bonnie. Bonnie P.
00:07:18 Mine's Skid. Skid Johnson.
00:07:20 Hiya, Skid.
00:07:21 Skid, boss.
00:07:33 Say, you really think I could make good on the big wheel?
00:07:36 Sure.
00:07:38 As a featured comic?
00:07:40 Why not? You're clever.
00:07:43 I mean it.
00:07:45 Why don't you wire that guy?
00:07:51 Hey, you're out of a job. Let's both wire him.
00:07:53 Yeah, but I ain't got your talent.
00:07:55 Aw, rats.
00:07:57 With your face and figure, baby, you could make good anywhere.
00:08:00 There's nothing to this racket.
00:08:02 Can you do a waltz, Clark?
00:08:04 Sure you can.
00:08:05 Come here. Let me show you something.
00:08:07 We can fix up a routine.
00:08:15 Count back.
00:08:18 That's great. Keep it up, kid.
00:08:24 Don't wear the leggings, you know.
00:08:27 Watch out for the bells.
00:08:32 That's great, kid.
00:08:34 Say, we could fix up a swell routine in North Point.
00:08:36 You think so?
00:08:37 Sure.
00:08:38 Let's send off that wire.
00:09:07 Here, you do it.
00:09:12 What's your salary?
00:09:14 Well, you better make it easy.
00:09:16 Make it 50 bucks.
00:09:19 Say, this is a big wheel.
00:09:21 They won't think you're any good.
00:09:23 Better make it 100.
00:09:24 Hey, wait a minute.
00:09:25 Those guys don't pay that kind of dough.
00:09:27 Besides, they don't know me.
00:09:31 Well, how about 75?
00:09:35 All right. I'll take a chance.
00:09:42 There. Found it.
00:09:48 Hey, uh, Elmer.
00:09:50 Or Rogers.
00:09:53 You're useless.
00:10:22 Well, partner, we done it.
00:10:25 Yeah, but we ain't got no answer yet.
00:10:36 Gee, I'm sleepy.
00:10:37 Are you?
00:10:42 You think they'll throw us out?
00:10:44 Oh, we're waiting for our aunt, ain't we?
00:10:46 I guess so.
00:11:15 [Sounds of running]
00:11:40 [Sounds of running]
00:12:09 [Sounds of running]
00:12:10 Is that you, Skid?
00:12:12 Yeah.
00:12:13 Say, I could see you.
00:12:14 Always running out between acts and scaring me to death.
00:12:16 You know you've got to hurry?
00:12:17 The last act's on.
00:12:19 You know me, Skid the fireman's child.
00:12:21 I can dress like Donna Poe.
00:12:24 You been getting something to eat?
00:12:25 Nah, I wasn't hungry.
00:12:27 Oh, just thirsty, huh?
00:12:29 No, and I wasn't thirsty either.
00:12:31 After the show tonight, I'm going to take you to the hotel
00:12:33 and see that you get something decent to eat.
00:12:35 All right, honey.
00:12:37 Oh, Skid.
00:12:39 Yeah?
00:12:40 I dreamed about you last night.
00:12:42 You did?
00:12:43 Just where you were.
00:12:45 In the who's gulf?
00:12:47 No, you were on Broadway.
00:12:49 I was?
00:12:50 And you were knocking the soup and fish for a goal.
00:12:52 Gee, it gave me a kick.
00:12:54 I don't believe in dreams.
00:12:56 Well, I do, in this one.
00:12:58 Gee, it was so real, I've been thinking about it ever since.
00:13:01 Maybe I better wire Ziegfeld that I've decided to let him star me.
00:13:06 And I'm bringing you along as my leading lady.
00:13:09 Oh, I'm lost.
00:13:11 With me or without me, it's Broadway for you.
00:13:14 You just get some ambition.
00:13:16 You know, Bon, when you talk like that, I almost believe it.
00:13:20 Believe it then, because it's going to come true.
00:13:22 You wouldn't kid me, would you, lady?
00:13:25 I would if I could, mister.
00:13:26 I would if I could.
00:13:28 Ladies and gents, before the curtain rises on the final scene,
00:13:31 I want to introduce to you the famous Rose Sweet.
00:13:34 There's a prize in every package.
00:13:36 And one of these packages contains the $5 gold piece.
00:13:39 I guess we know what these mean.
00:13:41 I'm sorry, kids, but you know how business has been,
00:13:44 and I've got to cut down on the overhead.
00:13:46 Well, don't apologize, Leslie.
00:13:47 It's all in the game.
00:13:48 I hate to do it, but--
00:13:50 Well, why take it out on us chorus girls?
00:13:52 Why not fire some of those fat heads you call principals?
00:13:54 Come on, dearie, I guess I'll have to go back to my husband.
00:13:57 [music playing]
00:14:00 Come on, honey, it's time for tricks.
00:14:08 [music playing]
00:14:11 Oh, baby, you look great in that new costume.
00:14:19 Why, he notices me.
00:14:20 He actually notices me at last.
00:14:23 You always look wonderful to me, honey.
00:14:25 I guess that's why I never mention it.
00:14:27 [music playing]
00:14:30 [laughing]
00:14:33 Lovely.
00:14:34 [music playing]
00:14:37 [music playing]

00:15:07 Hey, Marco, the way you focus on him,
00:15:11 anybody think he was falling for you?
00:15:13 Oh, mind your own business, will you?
00:15:16 I will if you will.
00:15:18 Get wise.
00:15:19 There ain't nobody for skid but bonnie.

00:20:28 - Hey, boss, did that guy hurt ya?
00:20:34 - No, I'm all right.
00:20:36 - Why don't you keep your lines straight?
00:20:38 All gold rocks there.
00:20:39 - Oh, quick look into those jobs
00:20:40 and maybe you'll keep off my feet.
00:20:42 - Oh, if any jobs would look at you, you'd be happy.
00:20:44 - Oh, Skid, I wanna see you.
00:20:46 I'll be with you in a minute, honey.
00:20:47 - Well, don't be long.
00:20:48 You know, we got a date with an act in four.
00:20:49 - What's on your mind?
00:20:50 - Well, you know, Skid, business has been terrible
00:20:52 and I've got to cut down on expenses.
00:20:54 So I'm letting several people go.
00:20:56 - Gee, that's tough.
00:20:57 - Yeah, well, most of them have got it coming to 'em,
00:21:00 but I sure hate to let Bonnie out.
00:21:02 - Bonnie?
00:21:03 - Yeah.
00:21:05 - Listen, Lefty, if you're gonna cut down,
00:21:07 well, you better count me out, too.
00:21:10 - Oh, you're my only drawing card.
00:21:12 - Yeah, I know, but you see, Bonnie and me,
00:21:14 well, we're partners.
00:21:16 - Well, I wouldn't give her notice
00:21:17 if I could figure out any possible way to keep her.
00:21:19 You know that, Skid.
00:21:20 - Yeah, I know, but...
00:21:22 - Listen, Lefty, if it's all the same to you,
00:21:25 keep Bonnie on and take it out of my salary.
00:21:28 - Oh, gee, I wouldn't wanna do that, Skid.
00:21:31 - Ah, that's all right.
00:21:33 - You don't ever stick to me anyway.
00:21:35 I only spend it drinking or gambling.
00:21:39 - Well, all right, Skid.
00:21:40 - Yeah, but listen, when business picks up,
00:21:43 you gotta kick back with it.
00:21:44 - Oh, sure.
00:21:45 - Getting an earful so you can stir up some more trouble?
00:21:51 You are a true melodrama.
00:21:53 - Run along, fat lady, before some sideshow steals you.
00:21:56 - Is that so?
00:21:58 - Yeah, that's so.
00:22:00 - Say, if that frame you hang your clothes on
00:22:03 had anything to tie into,
00:22:04 I'd suck you one just for luck.
00:22:07 - Fire away, Zeppelin, with them fat paws of yours,
00:22:10 you're harmless.
00:22:10 - Why, you...
00:22:12 - Cut it out, Gussie.
00:22:13 Don't you get enough exercise?
00:22:15 Fight with me?
00:22:16 - Oh, shut up, you little shrimp.
00:22:18 - Now look here, Gussie, you can't...
00:22:19 - You probably took on a big responsibility, Bozo,
00:22:22 when you tied up with that balloon.
00:22:23 - Let me at that, Skid.
00:22:25 - You leave my wife alone?
00:22:26 You know she's got a weak heart?
00:22:28 - You know, I didn't have the heart
00:22:29 to slip her the notice,
00:22:30 so I left it under a cold cream jar.
00:22:32 - I wonder if she found it.
00:22:33 - Hello, honey.
00:22:40 - What are you doing here?
00:22:41 - Oh, nothing.
00:22:42 - When are you gonna stop taking those paws?
00:22:46 - Well, they're in the plot, ain't they?
00:22:48 - Yeah, but why worry about the plot?
00:22:49 Nobody else does.
00:22:51 And even the guy that stole it.
00:22:52 What are you...
00:22:53 - That's not me.
00:22:54 - Let me see it.
00:22:55 - That's all right.
00:22:56 - No, it's me.
00:22:57 Let me see it.
00:22:58 What is it?
00:22:58 - It's just a tip on a horse.
00:22:59 - So you're playing the ponies again?
00:23:02 - Well, this is a hot one.
00:23:03 - Yeah, they're always hot.
00:23:04 - Well, no, no, this is right from the old feed box.
00:23:06 - But Skid, you promised.
00:23:08 - Well, all right.
00:23:10 I'll tear it up.
00:23:11 - Thank you.
00:23:19 (door slams)
00:23:21 - Skid!
00:23:36 Skid!
00:23:40 Skid!
00:23:41 - Hear about Lefty cutting down the payroll?
00:23:46 He's letting several people go.
00:23:48 - No, gee, that's a shame.
00:23:49 Of course you stay, thanks to Skid.
00:23:53 What's Skid got to do with it?
00:23:56 Oh, nothing.
00:23:59 Only he'll have to cut out some of his luxuries
00:24:01 now that he's paying your way.
00:24:03 What do you mean by that crack?
00:24:06 Ask Skid if you don't believe me.
00:24:10 Now, what are you trying to do?
00:24:11 Stir up some more dirt?
00:24:12 Hey, tell you, where's Skid?
00:24:16 - Skid?
00:24:17 Why, he just borrowed a dollar from me
00:24:18 and ducked out for a couple of, couple of...
00:24:21 He just left.
00:24:21 - Drunk last night, drunk the night before.
00:24:26 Gonna get drunk tonight again
00:24:28 if I never get drunk no more.
00:24:30 (footsteps)
00:24:32 (footsteps)
00:24:34 (footsteps)
00:24:37 (footsteps)

00:24:41 (footsteps)
00:24:44 they're all right, you can do that.
00:24:47 (footsteps)
00:24:49 (footsteps)
00:24:51 - Five o'clock. - Five o'clock.

00:24:59 (footsteps)
00:25:01 (footsteps)

00:25:06 (footsteps)
00:25:08 (footsteps)
00:25:10 - Five o'clock.
00:25:13 Five o'clock.
00:25:15 (footsteps)
00:25:19 (footsteps)
00:25:24 (footsteps)
00:25:27 (knocking)
00:25:34 - Who is it?
00:25:38 - It's me, Tom.
00:25:39 It's on the floor.
00:25:46 (footsteps)
00:25:53 (footsteps)
00:25:55 - Where am I?
00:26:06 Oh.
00:26:09 - You know, it's 1.30.
00:26:17 - What do you mean by waking a guy up
00:26:19 in the middle of the day?
00:26:20 - Well, you'd be late for the matinee.
00:26:22 I brought you some fresh coffee.
00:26:24 And some donuts.
00:26:27 I found out the name of that horse you were gonna play.
00:26:36 - Yeah?
00:26:39 - Are you prepared for a shock?
00:26:40 - Sure.
00:26:43 - I'm quitting the show.
00:26:46 - Ah, Bon, you can't do that.
00:26:48 - No, I won't have you pay my salary, Steve.
00:26:50 - Well, look, Bon, don't you see?
00:26:53 We're partners, ain't we?
00:26:56 And we teamed up together,
00:26:58 and we're figuring on having our name in lights someday.
00:27:01 So what's the hollering?
00:27:03 - If you were in my place, Skip, I know what you'd do.
00:27:06 So I'm gonna do the same thing.
00:27:07 - Yeah, but Bon, you...
00:27:09 (door slams)
00:27:11 - Hey, Bonnie, I've been thinking over
00:27:37 what you said back at the hotel and...
00:27:39 (dramatic music)
00:27:42 (dramatic music)
00:27:45 (dramatic music)
00:27:48 (dramatic music)
00:27:50 (dramatic music)
00:27:53 - Bon, you really mean what you said about it?
00:28:20 - Yes.
00:28:21 - It'd be different if I hadn't figured
00:28:27 someday we'd get married.
00:28:29 You know, I'm crazy about you.
00:28:33 As though you didn't know.
00:28:37 Hey, Bon.
00:28:42 Will you marry me tonight, huh?
00:28:46 Will you?
00:28:48 You'll be getting the worst of it.
00:28:51 I'll probably lead you a heck of a life.
00:28:54 But I love you, Bon.
00:28:57 Honest, I do.
00:28:58 What do you say?
00:29:02 - It's all right with me, guys.
00:29:09 I'll take a chance.
00:29:10 - You wouldn't kid me, would you, lady?
00:29:14 - I would if I couldn't.
00:29:17 I would if I could.
00:29:18 (dramatic music)
00:29:21 - Repeat these words after me.
00:29:33 With this ring, I thee wed.
00:29:36 And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
00:29:41 - With this ring, I thee...
00:29:46 - I thee wed.
00:29:48 I thee wed.
00:29:49 With all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
00:29:54 Endow.
00:29:56 - Worldly goods.
00:29:58 The monkey's flat broke.
00:29:59 - I hereby pronounce you man and wife.
00:30:04 For better or for worse, till death do you part.
00:30:09 - Ain't that touching?
00:30:11 - Oh, I don't know.
00:30:13 I've seen better.
00:30:16 - You ain't never had no sentiment in your system, Bozo.
00:30:19 - May I extend my congratulations
00:30:23 and wish you a very happy existence.
00:30:26 - Well, I'm glad that's over.
00:30:35 - Are you happy, hon?
00:30:42 - Yeah.
00:30:42 You?
00:30:44 - Mm-hmm.
00:30:45 - I'm gonna try and make you happy always, honey.
00:30:50 - I am happy.
00:30:51 - If I ever give you any reason to think otherwise,
00:30:56 well, you holler.
00:30:58 - Well, it's all over, eh?
00:31:00 - Yes.
00:31:01 It's a lovely ceremony, isn't it?
00:31:03 - Yeah, it is.
00:31:05 - I think it's so much nicer to be married
00:31:06 by a real minister than a justice of the peace.
00:31:10 (crickets chirping)
00:31:13 - Mr. Clergyman, there's the war tax.
00:31:22 - Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
00:31:23 - Well, I guess that's all.
00:31:25 Come on.
00:31:26 - I guess we'd better be heading back to the hotel.
00:31:27 - Thank you so much for the ceremony.
00:31:28 - Well, I'm one of the clan now, Lefty.
00:31:29 - You'll find out.
00:31:31 - Thanks.
00:31:32 See you again sometime.
00:31:33 - I just love weddings, don't you, Bozo?
00:31:36 - Yeah.
00:31:37 I've seen some pretty good funerals, too.
00:31:39 (crickets chirping)
00:31:42 - I know just how you feel, dearie.
00:31:47 I've been through it.
00:31:48 Marrying a guy in this business is some responsibility.
00:31:51 You've gotta be prepared for shocks.
00:31:53 - From now on, Lefty, it's a straight and narrow
00:31:55 for little Willie.
00:31:56 - Yeah, yeah.
00:31:57 - You got the keys, kid?
00:31:58 - Yeah, here it is.
00:32:00 That's you and me from now on, honey.
00:32:02 All-star Johnson.
00:32:04 There you are.
00:32:08 - Oh, wait, wait, kid.
00:32:10 Give her a few minutes alone.
00:32:12 - Sure, don't you know that?
00:32:16 (laughing)
00:32:18 - I'll be with you in a minute, honey.
00:32:20 - Hey. - What?
00:32:24 - I got a bottle of pre-war scotch
00:32:26 that I've been saving for just such a night as this.
00:32:28 - Oh, well, drag it out, boy.
00:32:29 You won't have it long.
00:32:30 - I hope you and I'll keep up.
00:32:32 Make me a good night.
00:32:36 - Now, kid, I've been married a good many years,
00:32:39 and I'm on to you birds.
00:32:41 Now, what I wanna say is--
00:32:42 - I'll fix up in a minute, kid.
00:32:43 - Okay.
00:32:44 - You don't wanna be fixed up.
00:32:46 Just waiting to go into bonding.
00:32:47 - Well, you went and gone and done it, huh?
00:32:52 What do you know about that?
00:32:54 Why, you dirty stay out all night,
00:32:55 go and getting married?
00:32:57 Let me look at you.
00:32:58 What have you here?
00:33:00 Well, you've changed already.
00:33:02 - Hey, what is this?
00:33:04 Grab one of these.
00:33:06 - What I wanna tell you,
00:33:07 now that you're married, is this.
00:33:09 - Yeah?
00:33:10 How long have you been married?
00:33:11 - Me, I ain't never been married.
00:33:13 - Oh, pipe down.
00:33:15 Imagine that mug apron of a man.
00:33:18 - Well, may all your troubles--
00:33:20 (woman humming)
00:33:24 (man humming)
00:33:27 (woman humming)
00:33:54 (man humming)
00:33:56 - Here's to Bonnie, best of the trooper in Burlesque
00:34:06 and a down-to-sight too good for any man, much less you.
00:34:09 - Yeah, I know.
00:34:11 - Hey, Sandow, let me try that, will you?
00:34:20 - Oh, this guy?
00:34:21 - Yeah.
00:34:22 - Come on, boy.
00:34:23 All right, you ready?
00:34:24 - Come on, come on, it's getting old.
00:34:26 - Yeah.
00:34:27 - That's it, skin.
00:34:27 - Oh, boy, what's your problem, skin?
00:34:31 - The strongest part of you is your conversation.
00:34:34 - Hey, here's one.
00:34:35 - What?
00:34:36 - Do this.
00:34:37 - What?
00:34:37 - Come on, move over, Macy.
00:34:38 - Yeah, but I'm 20 years old, that's what.
00:34:42 - What now?
00:34:42 - There, now pick that up without moving your heels.
00:34:46 - Here, without--
00:34:47 - Oh, that's a pipe.
00:34:49 - All right, do it.
00:34:49 - All right, that's it.
00:34:51 - Here we go.
00:34:52 - Oh, you're kidding.
00:34:53 - Oh, good.
00:34:54 - Sure, I can do that.
00:34:56 Sure, that's easy, I can do it.
00:34:58 - That's right, Macy, you'll do it.
00:34:59 You'll do it.
00:35:01 Do this one.
00:35:02 All right, both of you, this must be good now.
00:35:04 (laughing)
00:35:07 - Oh, you want me to fall down?
00:35:10 - What size you say it was?
00:35:14 - It's 230.
00:35:15 - 230, oh, boy.
00:35:17 - Why?
00:35:18 - Well, don't push me around, I don't care.
00:35:21 - Well, I got away from the gang all right.
00:35:24 I'll be with you in just a minute.
00:35:30 You know me, skittish as a farmer's child.
00:35:33 I can undress sliding down a pole.
00:35:36 Wait a minute, I'll be all right.
00:35:42 (grunting)
00:35:44 I'm sorry, Bonnie.
00:36:02 - That's all right.
00:36:04 Wait a minute, Lester.
00:36:06 I've got something important I want to talk to you about.
00:36:10 I want to give you our two weeks' notice.
00:36:12 We're quitting the show.
00:36:13 - Quitting the show, who?
00:36:14 - Me and Skitt.
00:36:16 - What?
00:36:16 You can't do that, Bon.
00:36:18 There wouldn't be any show without Skitt.
00:36:20 - Yeah, and there won't be no Skitt
00:36:21 if he sticks with this outfit much longer.
00:36:23 - Yeah, but you're just kidding.
00:36:24 You're too good a trooper to bow out
00:36:26 in the middle of a season.
00:36:27 - I'm not thinking about myself.
00:36:28 - But, Bon, for the love of, what?
00:36:30 I'd have to close my show.
00:36:33 Think of the other people.
00:36:34 You can't do that.
00:36:36 - Well, we'll stay on one condition.
00:36:39 - What?
00:36:40 - You people have all got to promise
00:36:42 to quit drinking with Skitt.
00:36:44 - Well, all right, Bon.
00:36:46 Well, I can see where Skitt is gonna have
00:36:53 a heck of a time from now on.
00:36:55 - I wouldn't have said that, probably, Lester.
00:36:58 - Say, don't you think I know
00:37:00 that the only wise thing he ever did
00:37:02 was marryin' you tonight?
00:37:04 - I hope you're right, Lester.
00:37:09 - You're his one chance, Bon.
00:37:11 I'm for you.
00:37:12 - Thanks, Lester.
00:37:16 (people chattering)
00:37:19 (door slams)
00:37:21 (people chattering)
00:37:24 (people chattering)
00:37:27 - Hey, guys, take a left.
00:37:53 - Hello, Mr. Howell.
00:37:55 Glad to see you again.
00:37:56 Every time we play this town,
00:37:58 I wonder if you're gonna be out in front to see the show.
00:38:01 - Bought tickets for every performance this week.
00:38:03 Give my best regards to Miss Bonnie Chase.
00:38:07 I'd sure like to meet her.
00:38:09 - Sure I will.
00:38:10 Can you meet her?
00:38:12 She's goofy about Bonnie.
00:38:14 Every time we play this town,
00:38:15 he's out in front every performance.
00:38:18 (dramatic music)
00:38:21 - Go on, Bimbo, kill yourself.
00:38:30 Every time you take one of those falls, it hurts my spine.
00:38:38 (dramatic music)
00:38:40 - Your cattle king's out front again.
00:38:52 He's bought a seat for every performance,
00:38:53 just like he has for the last three years.
00:38:56 You know, I think if I ever brought him back to meet you,
00:38:58 he'd know there was a heaven.
00:39:00 - Oh, bring him back, Lester.
00:39:01 He's the only following I ever had.
00:39:03 - All right.
00:39:05 Oh, has Skid heard anything from New York yet?
00:39:08 - No, why?
00:39:09 - Well, Ziegfeld's agent was in at the matinee,
00:39:13 and right after Skid's big number,
00:39:14 he beat it across to the telegraph office.
00:39:16 He's in again tonight.
00:39:19 - Are you trying to get a rise out of me, Lester?
00:39:21 - No, honest.
00:39:22 If Skid ever gets this big opportunity
00:39:24 that you're always raving about,
00:39:25 he's got you to thank for it.
00:39:27 - Me?
00:39:28 - Sure, and I hope he gets it.
00:39:31 You're entitled to a break.
00:39:33 - You're a swell guy, Lester.
00:39:36 - I will now sing you a little ballade,
00:39:40 entitled, uh,
00:39:42 oh, well, what's the difference?
00:39:46 It was written especially for me by
00:39:48 Monsieur Labouton-Ton-Ton-Ton-Ton-Ton-Toi.
00:39:52 I not sing it in the native tongue.
00:39:53 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:39:55 Spread the onions, Professor, please.

00:43:19 - You would have a contract with New York Potter.
00:43:31 - Don't be discouraged, dearie.
00:43:33 - Sometime you may be a full-sized woman yourself.
00:43:37 - Swallow that, Sue Bretts.
00:43:39 - You could swallow a couple of Sue Bretts
00:43:40 and it wouldn't change your shape none.
00:43:45 - Say it ain't so, dearie.
00:43:47 Say it ain't so.
00:43:48 Lucky for you, you're leaving tonight.
00:43:51 I was hoping to take one good punch at you.
00:43:55 - It ain't too late.
00:43:56 I still have a few minutes before train time.
00:43:58 - I don't want to mess up that scrawny frame of yours.
00:44:02 Shock New York as it is.
00:44:04 - Well, mountainess, I'm planning to leave this show
00:44:08 without staging a battle.
00:44:10 But I don't take to that last crack of yours.
00:44:14 - No?
00:44:15 Well, what are you gonna do about it?
00:44:18 - I'm gonna take one good sock at you
00:44:20 to see how soft you really are.
00:44:22 Hey, wait a minute.
00:44:24 Don't get excited.
00:44:25 You better beat it, Gus,
00:44:29 or you'll be late for the ferry number.
00:44:31 - What is it, an elephant act?
00:44:34 - When I come back, I'm gonna chase you
00:44:36 until you find six new streets.
00:44:39 - What are you doing in my dressing room?
00:44:43 - Skid ain't here.
00:44:44 - Oh, nothing.
00:44:48 I was just saying goodbye to Gussie.
00:44:49 Guess I'm in the wrong room.
00:44:51 - No, you ain't in the wrong room.
00:44:55 And before you go, Markle,
00:44:56 I just want you to know
00:44:57 that you didn't put nothing over on me.
00:44:59 - What do you mean?
00:45:00 - You know what I mean.
00:45:02 - I'll not stay and be insulted.
00:45:04 - You'll stay and like.
00:45:06 I'm why I should be gad you've been giving Skid.
00:45:08 Ever since we've been married,
00:45:10 you've been trying to get him to drink,
00:45:11 thinking maybe I'd get disgusted
00:45:12 with him and you could have.
00:45:14 That's a lie.
00:45:16 You know I'm telling the truth.
00:45:18 Aidai?
00:45:19 Aidai?
00:45:20 Don't you hit me.
00:45:22 - That's all.
00:45:25 Now get out.
00:45:42 - Hey, Ralph.
00:45:43 - Shooting craps in the alley again, eh?
00:45:47 Well, it ain't no use.
00:45:49 You got no more coin to pay today.
00:45:50 - You know everything, don't you?
00:45:52 I come down here 'cause Lefty gave me a telegram for Skid.
00:45:55 - I wonder who's broke now.
00:45:57 - Maybe it's an accident.
00:45:58 - Maybe somebody's cashed in.
00:46:00 - Stop cheering.
00:46:01 No, I ain't never opened Skid's mail yet.
00:46:05 - Go see.
00:46:06 - Did you get hurt taking that last fall?
00:46:09 - Yeah, it's all right.
00:46:11 - Well, if you don't care about yourself,
00:46:12 at least think a little of me.
00:46:13 I ain't craving to be pushing you around
00:46:15 in a wheelchair the rest of my life.
00:46:16 - Oh, Bon, stop beefing, I'm all right.
00:46:19 - What's the yellow ticket?
00:46:20 - Another Hearts and Flowers cry for help?
00:46:22 - Gee, I forgot, it's for you.
00:46:23 - Well, fine, you tear it up.
00:46:25 You know, darn well these things
00:46:26 always set us back a few bucks.
00:46:28 Well, for, I'm a...
00:46:36 Oh, gosh.
00:46:39 - What's the matter?
00:46:41 - I...
00:46:42 Read this and see if you see the same thing I do.
00:46:47 - We'll give you chance, main comedy role,
00:46:51 my new musical show, "Solid 500 Weeklys",
00:46:56 "Flow Zigzell".
00:46:57 Gee, what did I tell you?
00:47:00 - What do you know about that?
00:47:02 - Really, you must be here to rehearse for "Solid Sunday".
00:47:07 Why, Aunt?
00:47:10 - Somebody's kidding me, I guess.
00:47:12 - Somebody's kidding me?
00:47:13 That's why you ain't even mentioned, Bonnie.
00:47:15 - You bet I ain't mentioned.
00:47:17 - What's the idea of all this temperamental stuff, Bonnie?
00:47:20 If this telegram ain't a fake,
00:47:22 it's a chance you've been raving about, ain't it?
00:47:24 - Well, it's your chance, all right.
00:47:25 Leave it at dirty little hipsters
00:47:27 that's always gurgling over you.
00:47:29 - You mean Marco?
00:47:30 - Yes, Marco, Marco, Marco.
00:47:32 - You're crazy.
00:47:35 - Who's crazy?
00:47:36 What show with Marco?
00:47:37 Do you know?
00:47:38 - What show with Marco, George?
00:47:40 - What a...
00:47:41 Gee, that's right.
00:47:43 It's the same show, ain't it?
00:47:45 That's a coincidence.
00:47:48 - Yeah, I'll say it is.
00:47:51 Don't wanna look fool,
00:47:52 nursing you along all these years,
00:47:53 trying to pound some sense into that bean of yours,
00:47:56 trying to get you somewhere.
00:47:57 And for what?
00:47:58 Just to shove you in the same show with that James.
00:48:01 That's the break I get.
00:48:02 - Well, you can stop blowing off steam and cool out,
00:48:05 'cause I ain't going.
00:48:07 - Who said you wasn't going?
00:48:08 - I said it and that settles it.
00:48:10 - Oh, it does, doesn't it?
00:48:11 Since when is what you say settles things?
00:48:13 - Well, I could be a big flop in a Broadway show.
00:48:17 - Yeah, that's the tipple up, you're scared.
00:48:19 You ain't got the nerve.
00:48:20 - Well, I'm satisfied.
00:48:22 I got me help.
00:48:23 You can't have everything.
00:48:24 - Yeah, and you won't even have your help
00:48:26 if you keep on playing these type towns much longer.
00:48:29 (door slams)
00:48:31 (knocking)
00:48:37 - Come in. - Hello, Bonnie.
00:48:38 I want you to meet Mr. Howell.
00:48:40 - It's a privilege to meet you, Miss King.
00:48:41 - Say, Leslie, wait a minute.
00:48:43 Take this along with you and read it.
00:48:44 You got sick just to let the kid get away.
00:48:46 - What's it all about?
00:48:47 - Well, you'll find out when you read it now.
00:48:48 Hurry up and come back.
00:48:50 (door slams)
00:48:53 - You sure must like brulees, Mr. Howell.
00:49:03 I'm gonna enter you in a customer's contest.
00:49:05 - Your show's the only one I ever see.
00:49:07 - How's that?
00:49:09 - It's the only chance I have of seeing you.
00:49:11 - Now, you ain't gonna start kidding me, are you, Mr. Howell?
00:49:17 - I wouldn't know how to do that.
00:49:19 - I'm not kidding.
00:49:21 - I always knew where you're playing.
00:49:23 I follow your route in those theater papers.
00:49:26 - You do?
00:49:27 Gee, it's funny to have somebody thinking about you
00:49:31 that you don't know nothing about.
00:49:32 Sit down.
00:49:34 Where do you live?
00:49:39 - Down in Wyoming.
00:49:40 - You got any family?
00:49:42 - Well, only my sister.
00:49:43 - Ain't you never married?
00:49:46 - No.
00:49:48 But I'm hoping awful hard I'm going to be.
00:49:51 - I'm married.
00:49:58 - Oh.
00:50:03 You are?
00:50:06 - Yeah.
00:50:09 I'm dragging the old ball and chain around.
00:50:11 - Well, I'm sorry.
00:50:13 I was getting ready to put my foot in it.
00:50:17 - I know you was.
00:50:18 That's why I stopped you.
00:50:20 - Do you want me to think that you're wild?
00:50:37 - No.
00:50:47 I just want to show you something about marriage.
00:50:49 I hear you are.
00:50:52 And if I know anything about men,
00:50:54 you're as fine as they come.
00:50:56 Without knowing a thing about me,
00:50:59 you're willing to marry me.
00:51:00 If I wasn't cuckoo, I'd mean something to you.
00:51:04 But all I can think of is a goofy comic upstairs,
00:51:08 sliding all over the stage.
00:51:10 He's a stew, and sometimes I think
00:51:14 he doesn't give a darn about me.
00:51:17 But he's all I can think of.
00:51:20 And you know what I'm doing now?
00:51:24 I'm using you to see if I can make him jealous
00:51:27 when he comes in here.
00:51:28 That's what marriage does to you.
00:51:31 - Maybe it's not marriage.
00:51:35 Maybe it's love.
00:51:36 - Well, whatever it is, pray that it never hits you.
00:51:41 - I've got a feeling love don't have to be
00:51:43 the way you say it is.
00:51:45 - Well, it's gotta be that way with me.
00:51:47 'Cause I've only loved one man.
00:51:51 And I've got a hunch I'm never gonna feel
00:51:52 no other kind of love.
00:51:54 Have your drink.
00:51:57 - Thanks, I will.
00:51:59 We don't drink, do you?
00:52:02 - Yeah, to me, the sack.
00:52:05 - The sack.
00:52:06 This is my husband, Skid Johnson, Mr. Howell.
00:52:20 - Hiya, Mr. Howell.
00:52:21 Glad to meet you.
00:52:22 - Mr. Howell's the man that's been sitting out front
00:52:25 every performance for the last three years.
00:52:28 - I know.
00:52:30 What was it, a sentence?
00:52:31 (chuckles)
00:52:33 - No, no, I just found something I like.
00:52:36 And I stuck to it.
00:52:38 - Well, that ain't a bad idea, Dutch.
00:52:44 - Well, I guess I'll be going.
00:52:46 It's been a, oh, it's been a treat to meet you folks.
00:52:53 Good night.
00:52:58 - Good night, Mr. Howell.
00:53:00 (door opens)
00:53:02 - Well, you're a fine piece of bologna.
00:53:08 - Are you gonna start again?
00:53:11 Well, what is it now?
00:53:13 - Oh, you're so wrapped up in that Mark O'Day
00:53:16 and you can't even see what your own wife's doing.
00:53:18 - Come on, I'll bite.
00:53:19 What are you doing?
00:53:20 - I suppose it don't mean a thing to you
00:53:24 to find your wife like this
00:53:25 drinking with a strange man, does it?
00:53:27 - Well, as far as that goes, Bond,
00:53:29 I seen you more undressed than that on the stage.
00:53:32 And drinking with a strange man ain't gonna hurt you,
00:53:34 unless the hooch is bad.
00:53:36 - But I can't do that dance.
00:53:41 - You don't do that number.
00:53:42 - 'Bout time you got wise to yourself.
00:53:48 - That's right, ride me, ride me.
00:53:51 - Oh, you don't care what I do.
00:53:56 Look here, kid, I think you've always got sense enough
00:53:59 to take care of yourself.
00:54:01 And that's a downside more than I ever had.
00:54:04 Where would I get off finding fault with you?
00:54:08 Come on, boys, snap it up.
00:54:14 Get that makeup off.
00:54:15 You got just 20 minutes to get out of the theater.
00:54:18 You're fired.
00:54:19 - Am I going nuts?
00:54:20 What is this?
00:54:21 - Well, you poor Stu,
00:54:22 the only way I can let you off is to fire you.
00:54:24 Now, you've just got time to make that New York trade.
00:54:26 - Oh, Lefty.
00:54:27 - Say, maybe there's something wrong
00:54:30 with that hooch after all.
00:54:32 - I'll never forget you for this, Lefty.
00:54:33 - That's all right, kid.
00:54:34 It's all for the sake of art.
00:54:36 There's two ways to take that crack.
00:54:41 - You're bonkers.
00:54:47 - This is all a lot of hooey.
00:54:49 I can't go away without you.
00:54:51 - You should be.
00:54:52 Lefty can't afford to let both of us go.
00:54:55 Besides, if they don't treat you right,
00:54:57 I've still got my job.
00:54:59 - Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:55:01 - Write to me often, skid.
00:55:08 I'll be awful lonesome without you.
00:55:10 - I'll be an awful sap without you, Bonnie.
00:55:12 Maybe the show will be a big flop
00:55:16 and I can come back soon.
00:55:18 - You can't come back.
00:55:20 You're fired.
00:55:21 - Yeah, I never thought of that.
00:55:22 That ain't so good.
00:55:24 - Oh, forget it, honey.
00:55:26 It's sink or snow.
00:55:27 - I don't like the way you say sink.
00:55:30 - Well, how do you like the way I say swim?
00:55:32 Oh, here's our bankroll, skid.
00:55:40 - I can't take that.
00:55:43 We saved it together.
00:55:44 It's yours as much as mine.
00:55:46 - Oh, I don't need it, honey.
00:55:47 You take it.
00:55:48 I don't want you to be short in the big town.
00:55:50 - All right, kid.
00:55:52 I'm always gonna keep this bootle bag.
00:55:55 It was the first one we ever had, wasn't it?
00:55:58 - Yeah, and we had it a long time
00:56:00 before we had anything to put in it, too, didn't we?
00:56:02 - I'll be a fine looking sap landing in New York
00:56:11 without a clean shirt.
00:56:14 They'll think I'm doing a tram pack.
00:56:16 Don't think I'm scared, darling, 'cause I ain't.
00:56:20 But I wish I wasn't going.
00:56:22 I have a feeling we're making a mistake.
00:56:25 - Say, this is the day I've been dreaming of for four years.
00:56:28 My skids day.
00:56:30 Boy, you're going to New York
00:56:32 and you're gonna knock 'em cold.
00:56:34 They're gonna see my skids.
00:56:36 Boy, they ain't seen nothing yet.
00:56:38 - Well, I guess that's all.
00:56:51 - I don't know how to say goodbye, darling.
00:56:54 I ain't never said goodbye to you.
00:56:56 - I'll miss you, skid.
00:57:03 I love you, skid.
00:57:05 I'll miss you, skid.
00:57:08 - I'm lost already without you, Bonnie.
00:57:13 - All right, skid, I'm just gonna let you go.
00:57:18 (all chattering)
00:57:21 - Bye, Bonnie. - I'll write you.
00:57:23 And I'll worry you, too. - Bye.
00:57:25 - Bye, skid.
00:57:26 - It's my number, Bonnie.
00:57:39 (dramatic music)
00:57:42 It's my number, Bonnie.

01:08:19 - Skid, I want you to meet Miss Meredith.
01:08:35 This is Skid Johnson.
01:08:36 - Hi.
01:08:37 - Mr. Johnson, you were the most magnificent thing.
01:08:39 Your performance was marvelous and you were so funny.
01:08:42 - Thank you.
01:08:43 - He wasn't funny.
01:08:44 It's just his gorgeous personality.
01:08:46 - Yes.
01:08:47 - You were grand tonight, honey.
01:08:48 - Yes.
01:08:49 - Really, I'm proud out laughing at you, Mr. Johnson.
01:08:52 - Hurry up, Skid.
01:08:53 You're going out in society tonight.
01:08:55 - I'm glad you folks think I got by all right.
01:08:58 - Got by, you're a star.
01:08:59 - Yes.
01:09:00 - Boy, you were Broadway.
01:09:01 (Skid singing)
01:09:04 (audience chattering)
01:09:10 (upbeat music)
01:09:16 (audience applauding)
01:09:22 (upbeat music)
01:09:27 (audience applauding)
01:09:32 (upbeat music)
01:09:54 (audience applauding)
01:09:59 (man speaking faintly)
01:10:19 - You heard from Skid yet?
01:10:22 - I got one more note.
01:10:24 - Yeah, he got a few more pieces of stuff back there.
01:10:27 - You haven't heard from him since he left, have you?
01:10:30 - Nope.
01:10:31 - Well, that's the only time.
01:10:32 - Are you gonna wire him?
01:10:34 - What's the use?
01:10:36 When I wrote him about the heavy affair,
01:10:38 I heard he was having with Marco.
01:10:40 He didn't answer.
01:10:41 Then I wrote him to give up the day
01:10:43 and write file the old papers,
01:10:44 but he didn't answer that either.
01:10:47 - The dirty tramp.
01:10:49 He must know our show's closing.
01:10:51 - Well, I guess, Lefty.
01:10:53 He figures he can struggle along without me.
01:10:56 - Are you gonna look him up in New York?
01:11:00 - Yes.
01:11:01 I'm gonna give him one last chance.
01:11:05 - I wanna flow.
01:11:06 - Yeah, this is--
01:11:07 - Bye, Lefty.
01:11:08 - So long, Bond.
01:11:10 - You coming down in the car?
01:11:11 - No, you can pay the pen for a minute.
01:11:15 - Hello, Barney.
01:11:16 I should say, Mrs. Johnson.
01:11:18 - Why, Mr. Howell.
01:11:19 - I read about the show closing and being nearby.
01:11:21 I thought maybe you would mind if I ran down to see you.
01:11:25 May I carry your suitcase?
01:11:28 Where are you going?
01:11:30 - New York.
01:11:31 - Well, I'm figuring on being there next week.
01:11:32 May I call on you?
01:11:34 - Sure.
01:11:35 If you'd like.
01:11:37 [footsteps]
01:11:40 - Oh, Jim, I'll bet you and that hangover are glad this one's finished.
01:12:05 - Well, I gave a performance, didn't I?
01:12:07 - You did, but some of your falls were a surprise even to yourself, baby.
01:12:11 - As long as the audience laugh, I'll get by.
01:12:13 I'll get by.
01:12:14 - Bye for you, Mr. Johnson.
01:12:16 - Thanks.
01:12:17 I bet it's another hearts and flowers cry for help.
01:12:19 - Come on, kid.
01:12:20 We're late.
01:12:21 - Oh, what's your hurry?
01:12:22 - Well, we're making a movie.
01:12:23 - I'll get the whole night booked for you.
01:12:26 [footsteps]
01:12:32 [indistinct chatter]
01:12:35 - Who do you want to see, miss?
01:12:55 - Mr. Skid Johnson, please.
01:12:57 - He ain't here.
01:12:58 - Oh.
01:13:01 - Would you happen to know where he went?
01:13:03 - I'm not his guardian angel.
01:13:05 - I'm Mrs. Johnson.
01:13:07 - Oh, I beg your pardon, Mrs. Johnson.
01:13:09 - Do you know if he got a telegram this evening?
01:13:11 - Yes, he got one.
01:13:14 You'll probably find him at Tony.
01:13:17 - Where's that?
01:13:18 - Uh, 63 West 49th.
01:13:21 - Oh, thank you.
01:13:22 - Welcome.
01:13:23 [footsteps]

01:13:36 [music playing]
01:13:51 [indistinct chatter]
01:13:54 [music playing]
01:13:57 - What's her name, please?
01:14:11 - Mrs. Johnson.
01:14:13 Mrs. Skid Johnson.
01:14:14 [music playing]
01:14:19 - So you're Mrs. Skid Johnson?
01:14:21 - Yeah.
01:14:22 I want to see Mr. Johnson.
01:14:24 [music playing]
01:14:27 - All right.
01:14:28 Come in a minute.
01:14:29 [music playing]
01:14:32 Excuse me, please.
01:14:41 [music playing]

01:16:26 [indistinct chatter]
01:16:33 - Don't ask yet, Johnson.
01:16:43 - It always has been.
01:16:50 - Well, it's about time.

01:19:00 - It ain't.
01:19:12 - It is.
01:19:13 - It ain't.
01:19:14 - It is.
01:19:15 - Oh, Bonnie.
01:19:16 Oh, it's great to see you again.
01:19:18 - This is our daughter.
01:19:20 - Oh, dumb as ever.
01:19:22 - Say, I've been looking for you for three days.
01:19:24 Where have you been?
01:19:25 - Oh, I've been down Atlantic City on a big party.
01:19:27 And I ain't done nothing but referee fights.
01:19:30 - I tell you, Bonnie, girls like us shouldn't get mixed up
01:19:32 with nice people.
01:19:33 They're too rough.
01:19:36 - Boy, who's the cuckoo?
01:19:40 - Harvey Howell.
01:19:41 - Little brother of Tom Mix?
01:19:43 Is he here?
01:19:44 - Yes.
01:19:45 We're leaving for the West tomorrow.
01:19:46 - Oh, boy, you're a lucky girl.
01:19:48 And what a man he is.
01:19:51 You read about him, but I always
01:19:52 thought you had to die of some before you met one.
01:19:55 Why, what's the matter?
01:19:57 - I can't help feeling that Harvey's getting the worst of it.
01:20:00 But you had rather die than give a guy like that
01:20:02 the worst of it.
01:20:03 - You know what's the matter with you, Bonnie?
01:20:05 You're still crazy about Skid.
01:20:09 - Well, maybe I am.
01:20:11 But I'm going to forget it.
01:20:13 Well, I never knew where I was at with Skid.
01:20:15 Never a day's peace for four years.
01:20:19 But I got to say, I was happy with him.
01:20:22 But I made up my mind I wasn't going to be a mug all my life.
01:20:25 I made up my mind it was time I found someone who
01:20:27 drew a little worrying about me.
01:20:30 - Found him, didn't you?
01:20:32 Say, has he got a brother?
01:20:33 Oh, gee, I'd love to get out of this business
01:20:35 and go live out West.
01:20:36 - Well, Harvey says it ain't very exciting in Wyoming.
01:20:39 You can ride all day, you never see a soul.
01:20:42 But come on out with us, Gussie.
01:20:44 I'll give you a swell horse.
01:20:46 - Yeah, next winter I'll have a big one.
01:20:48 - Yeah, next winter I'd have to eat the horse.
01:20:50 - Hello.
01:20:57 It's Skid.
01:20:58 What'll I do?
01:20:59 - Same thing he done to you.
01:21:01 Hang up.
01:21:02 - Oh, I couldn't do that.
01:21:06 Send him up, girly.
01:21:07 Of course, what you do is nobody's business.
01:21:14 You may get a big kick out of wiping his nose
01:21:16 and buttoning up his little panties,
01:21:18 but I don't see where it gets anywhere.
01:21:20 Skid will always be what he is.
01:21:22 - You're all wrong about Skid.
01:21:24 Everybody's wrong about him.
01:21:26 I'm the only one that understands him.
01:21:28 - All right, dearie, have it your own way.
01:21:31 There's your ho for now.
01:21:33 Sounds like he brung the whole troop with him.
01:21:39 - Oh, I want to see him alone.
01:21:43 [knocking]
01:21:45 - Hello, kid.
01:21:53 Boys, meet the wife and don't laugh.
01:21:55 - Buddy.
01:21:56 - Hey, boy, bring up a flask of white rock and some ice.
01:21:59 - Yeah, and a half a dozen glasses.
01:22:01 - Gee, Bond, you're looking great.
01:22:04 Meet me friend Jerry Evans.
01:22:06 He writes songs for me.
01:22:08 - Pleased to meet you.
01:22:09 - Step right in, boys.
01:22:10 Make yourselves at home.
01:22:11 - Well, if it ain't Gus.
01:22:13 Hi, kid.
01:22:14 - Hi, Skid.
01:22:15 Hello, Lepsy.
01:22:16 Howdy, Dave, brought young Pat O'Riskey.
01:22:18 - Gee, Gus, it's great to see you.
01:22:20 - Give us a little kiss.
01:22:21 - Sure.
01:22:22 - How long has this been going on?
01:22:24 - Oh, I knew Jerry when he wore three collared pants.
01:22:27 - Hey, hey, hey.
01:22:28 - Come on, Jerry, play something.
01:22:29 - Well, kid, how long you been in town?
01:22:32 - A week.
01:22:33 - A week?
01:22:34 Have I got smallpox or something?
01:22:36 - I don't know.
01:22:37 Have you?
01:22:38 - Gee, could you let me know you was here?
01:22:40 - Let me have a good look at you.
01:22:44 Well, how are you?
01:22:46 - How are you?
01:22:47 - In the pink.
01:22:48 - Yeah, if your nose gets any pinker,
01:22:50 you'll look like a tomato surprise.
01:22:53 I suppose you couldn't come alone.
01:22:55 What were you afraid I'd do to you?
01:22:56 - Well, you wouldn't want me to shake these guys, would you?
01:22:59 They've been with me all night.
01:23:01 - Yeah, I suppose you're king of the nightclubs now.
01:23:04 - Oh, Von, stop riding me.
01:23:07 - Hey, you've been crying.
01:23:10 - No, I haven't.
01:23:11 - You can't fool me.
01:23:12 I've seen you cry too often.
01:23:15 - What's the matter?
01:23:16 Ain't the new guy treating you right?
01:23:19 - What business is that of yours?
01:23:20 - Sure, I suppose what happens to you is none of my business.
01:23:23 I suppose I'm going to forget you're the only girl in the world
01:23:26 I ever give a darn about.
01:23:29 - Yeah, me and how many others.
01:23:31 I got tired of being a mobster.
01:23:34 How about that Mark O'Day?
01:23:36 Or is she cold turkey?
01:23:38 - Gee, it's just like old times.
01:23:47 Well, I got your little love note.
01:23:50 I ain't squawking.
01:23:52 But I want you to know, Bonnie, I'm sorry.
01:23:58 Well, there's the little boy with the white rock.
01:24:01 - Atta boy.
01:24:02 Put it right down there.
01:24:03 - I guess you need some.
01:24:04 My number is 86.
01:24:05 - That's all right.
01:24:06 There you are.
01:24:07 - Thank you.
01:24:08 - Keep the change.
01:24:09 - If there's anything else you need, my number is 86.
01:24:11 - I know.
01:24:12 Good boy.
01:24:13 [HUMMING]
01:24:19 Come on, let's all drink to Bon.
01:24:21 The best little girl that ever fished a husband's clothes forever.
01:24:24 Here's to Bon.
01:24:25 - Yeah, I suppose even an alley cat thinks now is the end of the day.
01:24:28 - Stop cracking at each other and have some fun.
01:24:31 - I didn't start it.
01:24:33 - I know you didn't.
01:24:34 It was all my fault.
01:24:36 I was only kidding.
01:24:38 You never could stand being kidded.
01:24:40 - I ought to know better.
01:24:42 Say, Bon, when are you going to marry that big breath of fresh air from Wyoming?
01:24:47 - Well, I can't get married till I get my final decree next fall.
01:24:51 - Well, what are you going to do to land?
01:24:53 - Going out on this ranch to live with him and his sister.
01:24:56 - His sister?
01:24:57 - Yeah.
01:24:58 - That'll be nice.
01:24:59 - Yeah.
01:25:00 - I know those dames.
01:25:01 They want to know all the inside dirt of show business.
01:25:04 She'd probably ask you if Claude Erlanger was ever really married.
01:25:08 - Well, what's the difference as long as they love each other?
01:25:11 - Oh, anybody.
01:25:13 All people have to do is just love each other.
01:25:16 - And get a little sleep.
01:25:18 - Boy, I'm dead.
01:25:21 - Listen, Skip.
01:25:22 - Huh?
01:25:23 - I want to talk to you alone.
01:25:25 - Sure, why isn't it?
01:25:27 - Come on, get there.
01:25:28 - Yes, sir.
01:25:30 [singing]
01:25:56 - Boy, this is like old times.
01:25:59 I mean, none of those high-priced dames can dance like Bonnie.
01:26:02 - You wouldn't kid me, would you, mister?
01:26:04 - I would if I could, lady.
01:26:05 I would if I could.
01:26:08 Hey, Bonnie, do you remember the first night we spent together in show business?
01:26:13 - Do I?
01:26:14 It was cold.
01:26:15 We had to sleep sitting up.
01:26:17 - Yeah.
01:26:18 Night gobbled the old least family.
01:26:23 Hey, Jerry.
01:26:24 Jerry, do you know Rosie O'Grady?
01:26:26 - Rosie O'Grady?
01:26:27 - Yeah, the girl who sang "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies."
01:26:30 - Oh, yeah.
01:26:31 Hey, Bonnie, do you remember the old routine?
01:26:33 - Do I?
01:26:34 [singing]
01:26:37 - Skip?
01:26:39 - Remember the question?
01:26:40 - Sure.
01:26:41 [singing]
01:26:44 - The gypsy folks?
01:26:45 - Yeah.
01:26:48 - Do you remember the zoo?
01:26:50 - The zoo?
01:26:51 You remember the games.
01:26:52 - The games.
01:26:53 - Do you like the zoo?
01:26:54 - I love the zoo.
01:26:55 - Do you like the lions?
01:26:56 - I love the lions.
01:26:57 - And the tigers?
01:26:58 - I love the tigers.
01:26:59 - And the elephant titans?
01:27:01 - Yeah.
01:27:02 - And the rhinoceros?
01:27:03 - What are we talking about?
01:27:05 A zoo or a hospital?
01:27:07 - The zoo, silly.
01:27:08 Don't you love the dangaroos?
01:27:10 - I never seen any dangaroos.
01:27:12 - Why, the zoos are full of them.
01:27:14 You see the signs all over.
01:27:15 - Dangaroos?
01:27:16 - Yeah.
01:27:17 - Don't you mean kangaroos?
01:27:20 - Dangaroos.
01:27:21 - How do you spell it?
01:27:22 - D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S.
01:27:27 - Are those dangaroos?
01:27:29 - Show you what a sap I am.
01:27:31 I always thought that meant dangerous.
01:27:34 We live and learn, ladies.
01:27:36 We live and learn.
01:27:37 - Yeah.
01:27:38 - Yeah.
01:27:39 - Yeah.
01:27:40 - Well, how do you like the two kids from the West?
01:27:43 - Great.
01:27:44 - All right.
01:27:45 - Yes, yes.
01:27:46 - We used to dance--
01:27:51 - Where's she going?
01:27:52 What's the matter with her?
01:27:53 - Let her alone.
01:27:54 She'll be all right in a minute.
01:27:55 - Well, I didn't do nothing, did I?
01:27:57 - What could be dumber than a comic?
01:27:59 - Mm.
01:28:00 [knocking]
01:28:04 - Hey, Bonnie.
01:28:05 Bonnie, come on out, will you?
01:28:07 What's the matter?
01:28:12 - Oh, nothing.
01:28:14 I used to love that old number, that's all.
01:28:16 - Say it yet.
01:28:19 Say something different, Jack.
01:28:21 Something hot.
01:28:22 Come on, dance, kids.
01:28:28 Come in.
01:28:39 - Hello, Bonnie.
01:28:43 Are you having a party?
01:28:45 - Yes, Harvey.
01:28:46 Come and join us.
01:28:49 - You remember this.
01:28:51 - Oh, yes.
01:28:52 How are you?
01:28:53 I hope I didn't stop your music.
01:28:58 Won't you go on?
01:29:00 - I'd be delighted.
01:29:01 What would you like?
01:29:02 - Well, I don't know any of the new songs.
01:29:05 My favorites are all old, like, uh, "In the Gloaming."
01:29:10 Bonnie, sing that for me, will you?
01:29:14 Come on, sing it, Bonnie.
01:29:16 Yeah, sing it, Bonnie.
01:29:18 I bet it's great.

01:34:30 Well, how did it go? Any better?
01:34:32 How did what go?
01:34:33 The rehearsal, you fathead.
01:34:35 Get wise yourself, Lefty.
01:34:36 You can't put on a show without comedians.
01:34:38 Well, ain't I got comedians?
01:34:40 I don't know. Have you?
01:34:42 Don't any of you wisecracks get out.
01:34:48 Who is it?
01:34:56 A friend of yours.
01:34:58 He's lost me another touch.
01:35:00 Well, wait a minute.
01:35:03 Send him in.
01:35:06 [Footsteps]

01:35:12 [Door slams]
01:35:22 [Footsteps]
01:35:33 [Footsteps]
01:35:36 Here's 20 bucks.
01:35:43 If you think you can keep sober,
01:35:45 go and get yourself a room,
01:35:47 take a bath and be at rehearsal at Bryant Hall at 9 o'clock in the morning.
01:35:51 And remember, no booze.
01:35:55 This is Friday the 13th.
01:36:00 We open a week from Monday in Patterson.
01:36:03 So pull yourself together and think up some new stuff.
01:36:06 All right, beat it.
01:36:13 And remember, I'm counting on you.
01:36:20 You know me, Lefty.
01:36:22 Yeah, I know. The fireman's child.
01:36:28 [Laughter]
01:36:30 You're laughing at me.
01:36:31 No, I'm not.
01:36:32 Well, how'd you know we were riding so far?
01:36:35 I told you it was going to be a long ways back.
01:36:37 Have a nice ride?
01:36:39 Bonnie did. She's just crazy about horses.
01:36:42 Crazy over horses, horses, horses.
01:36:46 [Laughter]
01:36:48 A horseback ride is something you've got to cultivate.
01:36:51 Yeah.
01:36:52 [Laughter]
01:36:57 Oh, here's a telegram came for you, Bonnie.
01:37:00 [Silence]
01:37:04 [Silence]
01:37:08 [Silence]
01:37:34 [Silence]
01:37:37 I have to go, Harvey.
01:37:43 For Lefty's sake.
01:37:45 You sure you do, honey.
01:37:47 [Sound of a train]
01:38:01 [Music]
01:38:04 [Singing]
01:38:07 That's rotten. That's rotten.
01:38:28 For the love of Mike, loosen up and show some pep.
01:38:31 Now, this number is supposed to be a wow.
01:38:33 Say, unbutton your ears and listen, will you?
01:38:35 I'm talking to you.
01:38:37 Now, roll your eyes when you do them twists.
01:38:39 Make the boys out front think it's real.
01:38:41 And smile. Smile.
01:38:44 It'll be in the movies, the way we fake this vamp stuff.
01:38:47 Yeah, all you have to do is roll your eyes at these yokels and they take it personal.
01:38:51 Poor goose men are.
01:38:52 All right, all right. Cut out the gab and now we'll try it again.
01:38:55 [Music]
01:38:57 [Singing]
01:39:00 All right, all right, all right. That's all right. That's much better.
01:39:16 Why didn't you do it that way in the first place?
01:39:18 All right, girls, you can all go home.
01:39:20 We'll be back at 7 o'clock now.
01:39:22 Don't forget this is opening night.
01:39:24 [Indistinct chatter]
01:39:27 Well, did you find him?
01:39:36 Yes.
01:39:37 Where is he?
01:39:38 Well, that's the sad news.
01:39:40 I get him to the ferry and I'm buying the tickets and when I turn around, he's gone.
01:39:43 You dumb bell. You hunt two days for a guy and when you get him, you run away from him.
01:39:47 Well, there ain't a chance for him, Leo.
01:39:49 This last vendor was a boy.
01:39:51 He's all shot.
01:39:53 He's a cheerful guy.
01:39:54 Say, if you was a wise fellow, you'd put Bozo in the park and get your show open tonight.
01:39:57 Now run along like a nice girl, Gussie.
01:39:59 I won't need you and Bozo till 7 o'clock.
01:40:02 Yeah, well, you won't need us then.
01:40:04 This show ain't never gonna open.
01:40:06 Come on, Bozo.
01:40:07 Say, what is this, uh...
01:40:09 Here comes the bride, he sings all the time.
01:40:11 I don't know.
01:40:12 What are we gonna do?
01:40:14 I got plans, Jimmy. I got plans.
01:40:17 And I got a headache.
01:40:18 Go beat it, will you?
01:40:20 Why, Farmer, me.
01:40:21 Hello, Jimmy.
01:40:22 Hey, Bond.
01:40:23 Gee, it's great to see you.
01:40:25 How are you, Lefty?
01:40:26 How am I? It's just another world, that's all.
01:40:30 Well, what's it all about?
01:40:33 Skid.
01:40:34 I can't handle him, Bond.
01:40:36 And being a big, brave guy, well, I wired for you to come and help me.
01:40:44 Well, I'll do what I can, Lefty.
01:40:48 Even right now, no matter what happens to this show.
01:40:53 How long can you stay?
01:40:56 Well, just until Skid gets on his feet.
01:40:59 Then I've got to join Harvey in Chicago.
01:41:02 We're gonna be married there.
01:41:05 Hiya, Lefty.
01:41:07 Am I early?
01:41:11 Yeah.
01:41:12 For tomorrow, you are.
01:41:15 I've been waiting around the ferry for that guy Jimmy.
01:41:18 He never showed.
01:41:25 Who's that?
01:41:31 Am I seeing things?
01:41:44 She's still there.
01:41:48 You see her, Lefty?
01:41:49 Why, sure I see her.
01:41:51 Don't kid me.
01:41:52 I've been seeing things lately.
01:41:54 Hello, Skid.
01:42:10 Oh, Bonnie.
01:42:21 Hiya, kid.
01:42:23 Let me have a good look at you.
01:42:26 Hey, you've been crying.
01:42:29 No, I haven't.
01:42:30 Hey, you can't fool me.
01:42:32 I've seen you cry too often.
01:42:34 What are you doing in this dump?
01:42:36 You can't, you know.
01:42:40 Come on.
01:42:41 Why is Mr. Lefty, Mr. Lefty the fox,
01:42:45 to get his rotten show up and he call you out of the grave?
01:42:50 It wasn't exactly the grave, Skid.
01:42:52 Well, don't waste another minute around here, honey.
01:42:55 I'll open, all right.
01:42:57 Nobody has to worry about me.
01:43:00 You know me, Skid the fireman's child.
01:43:04 I'm always there.
01:43:06 Sure you are.
01:43:07 Come on to your dressing room, Skid.
01:43:13 Are you ashamed of me, Bonnie?
01:43:15 No, Skid.
01:43:17 I've been an awful sap, but don't ride me, will you, Bonnie?
01:43:20 Don't ride me.
01:43:21 I won't.
01:43:22 That's right, honey.
01:43:24 I've listened to so many lectures,
01:43:26 I carry me own slides.
01:43:35 [Music]

01:45:44 Hey, you're the matador.
01:45:46 The matador.
01:45:50 Ah, the matador.
01:45:53 You say cuspidor.
01:45:59 [Music]
01:46:05 [Tires screeching]
01:46:08 [Music]
01:46:34 [Music]
01:46:41 Hey, downstage, girls.
01:46:42 Form a line downstage.
01:46:44 Come on, downstage, down in front.
01:46:46 Form a line.
01:46:47 The matador.
01:46:49 The matador.
01:46:50 Go ahead.
01:46:53 [Music]
01:47:21 [Singing]
01:47:35 He's out.
01:47:36 I guess I'd better call off the show.
01:47:39 Oh, don't do that, Lefty.
01:47:40 I'll get him on.
01:47:42 Honest, I will.
01:47:43 But how?
01:47:45 I don't know, but I will.
01:47:48 All right, Bon.
01:47:49 I'm counting on you.
01:47:51 Get me some water.
01:48:05 You'll be all right, honey.
01:48:07 You'll be all right.
01:48:10 Nothing can stop you.
01:48:13 You'll be all right, honey.
01:48:17 It's dark and cold.
01:48:19 You'll be all right, honey.
01:48:23 You ain't started yet.
01:48:26 You'll be all right, honey.
01:48:29 You've got to be all right.
01:48:32 You'll be all right, honey.
01:48:36 You'll be all right.
01:48:42 [Music]
01:48:49 Well, I got him on, all right.
01:48:52 Yeah, but I wouldn't bet no dough that he gets through the show.
01:49:04 What are we going to do when he comes to the slide?
01:49:06 He'll never make it.
01:49:07 He's got to make it.
01:49:13 But in case he don't, you better get Bozo ready to go on in his place.
01:49:19 I never thought he'd get through that one.
01:49:21 If he gets through the next number, he may be all right.
01:49:26 [Music]
01:49:46 [Music]
01:50:06 [Music]
01:50:24 Are you coming for this?
01:50:27 I'm all right.
01:50:33 Do you think you can make it?
01:50:40 I can.
01:50:41 You stay.
01:50:43 I'll stay.
01:50:48 For good?
01:50:49 Yeah.
01:50:50 For good.
01:50:51 Keep dancing, honey.
01:50:52 Keep dancing.
01:51:00 I guess it's like the guy that likes to spend.
01:51:04 For better or for worse.
01:51:08 Yeah.
01:51:10 Better for me and worse for you.
01:51:18 It's all right with me, darling.
