Ah-ah-ah-ah
My heart is singing
because it's May
My cares go winging
and fly away
For spring came swinging along
Bringing a song today
The breeze that lingers
upon his way
To watch a sunbeam at play
Composes a love song
to the roses
A love song that my heart
Is singing today
On the wings of song
let me fly away
Where woodland voices
are calling
Leaving all my cares behind me
Nevermore to find me
While I tell the world
this is May
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Spring came swinging along
bringing a song today
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Composing a love song
to the roses
A love song that my heart
ls singing today
[Horn Blowing]
Lunch!
Wait a minute!
[indistinct Shouting]
Come on, slowpokes!
Hurry up or I'll beat you.
Don't leave us like this.
It's not fair!
[indistinct Shouting]
Wait a minute!
Last home is an old maid!
Oh, darn!
I'll get you for that!
[Glass Shattering]
What?
Now you've done it.
Hit Daddy right in the eye.
Is it bad?
You knocked it out.
[Gasping]
It's right there.
Won't Mommy be furious!
Oh, dear.
It's her favorite picture.
It was painted just before
they were divorced. It's ruined!
Let's see if we can't
glue it together.
No chance we can hide it?
No. Let's take it outside.
Be careful.
Look out for the table.
Haven't the children come
in yet? I think I heard them.
I'll go and see.
No, I'll go.
And Martha, the children
aren't to know anything about it.
If they don't see it
in your eyes, Mrs. Craig.
We might be able to glue him
together. That looks rather strange.
Look, down like this. See?
I hope it'll work.
I'll get the glue.
Children, why aren't you
getting dressed?
Something happened
to Daddy's picture. I did it.
Doesn't matter. Run along,
darlings. Lunch is waiting.
It was an accident.
Maybe we can fix it.
There's something wrong
with Mommy.
Is anything wrong, Mommy?
Are you mad about the picture?
It doesn't matter. We have so
many other pictures of Daddy--
The big one over the mantle,
two small ones on the desk,
a mediumsized one
up in the bedroom,
the one of Daddy golfing, the one of Daddy
horseback riding, the one of Daddy yachting
That'll do about Daddy.
[Kay] Has some thing
happened to Daddy?
What's happened, Mommy?
What is it? Nothing, dear.
Nothing at all. I--
Penny! Stay here.
Martha, you know
something. What is it? Martha!
What's wrong with Mommy?
There's plenty wrong. Your
father's thinking of marrying again.
Mommy, darling.
Please don't cry, Mommy.
[Quiet Sobbing]
You still love him,
don't you?
It's been 10 years.
I always hoped
he'd come back to us.
Oh, Mommy, you have us.
Please don't cry, darling.
Oh, I'm being silly.
I'm all right now.
Oh, Mommy, Mommy!
Well, something
has to be done.
Biting your nails won't
help. It helps me to think.
If we were only there.
Where?
New York, of course, silly.
What can we do here?
Mommy wouldn't go.
She's much too proud.
Who said anything
about Mommy going?
I mean us.
We'd be shock troops!
We'd take the enemy
by surprise!
There's something in that.
Suppose you and I go over,
and Penny stays here with Mother.
What do you mean, stays here?
It's my idea and I'm going over too!
What about your singing
lessons? This is more important!
I won't be left behind! Don't
get excited. We can't go anyway.
Mommy wouldn't let us.
We could run away.
On our allowance?
Don't be silly.
Think of a better idea
if you're so smart.
What's going on here?
Why aren't you asleep?
Staying up half the night talking!
What will your mother say?
Martha, how much money have
you in the bank? No games tonight!
We don't want to play games.
We're going to New York.
We're going to keep Daddy from
marrying, and bring him back to Mommy.
All we ask is to lend us
a tiny bit of money.
You will, won't you?
You're crazy.
[All Pleading]
Martha, you must!
No!
Go to bed, all of you!
How much money
will we need?
Oh! Oh, Martha!
[Ship Horn Blowing]

Yes, Mr. Craig. At the Seaboard
Trust Company since May the second.

At the Seaboard Trust Company since May

Philadelphia deal has got to be closed.
Do I look thinner? Not a
bit. J.C., this is important!
I'll be through in a
minute. Okay, okay!
Since May 2.
We would greatly appreciate--
Your hot water
and lemon juice, sir.
[Mr. Craig] Put it on
the rubbing table, Binns.
What would they
greatly appreciate, Wilbur?
Perhaps I'd better read
the telegram, sir.
A radiogram:
Arriving le-de-France today.
Please meet us.
Love, Joan, Kay and Penny.
Who are they?
Don't you remember, sir?
Of course I remember, but
why should I have to meet them?
They're your daughters, sir.
Good heavens! Do I have
to meet everybody that
My what?
Your daughters, sir.
My daughters?
Yes, sir.
What are they coming here
for? For a visit, I suppose.
Did you hear? My daughters
are coming here to visit.
Why, they can't do that!
What would Precious
She'd think Why,
they can't come here!
They haven't seen you for
10 years, sir. Why Wilbur!
Meet the boat and take
the girls to Newport Yes, sir.
We would greatly appreciate-- Go on!
Get down to the pier and meet the girls!
Yes, sir. What are you
standing around for?
Binns, get Miss Lyons
on the phone. Yes, sir.
Tell Wilkins to get my
bath ready. Yes, sir.
I'm having lunch at the Carlton.
You're having lunch at the Bankers Club.
Don't tell me
where I'm having lunch!
Miss Lyons, sir.
Hello, Precious.
How are you, dear?
Did you sleep well?
That's fine.
Can you have luncheon with me?
I have something important to tell you.
No, no, nothing serious.
just a little surprise, that's all.
In an hour at the Carlton?
Don't be late, dear.
Don't be late.
What's the matter? Binns, order
the car. Get my hat and cane.
Your bath is ready, sir.
What?
Your bath is ready, sir.
Bring it in! Oh, the bath!
Listen, I've got to give those
Philadelphia people a decision.
I can't keep stalling.
I know we shouldn't have
come. Don't worry, Martha.
He'll be glad after we've saved him from
the clutches of that horrible adventuress.
Do you suppose she has a past?
Where did you get those wild ideas?
Out of a magazine I
found on the steamer. Oh!
I shall be blamed for everything. Your
mother will discharge me. No, she won't.
I explained everything
in the note we left.
Besides, we have a right to
see our father every 10 years.
I wonder what he's really
like. Pigheaded like you.
I'm not pigheaded.
I'm strong-minded.
Look at all the cars. I wonder if
they have any accidents in this town.
No, lady, not with me. You're as
safe in this cab as in your mother's lap.
[Crashing Sound]
Oh!
Lap is right!
Uh, is this Mr. Craig's
apartment? Yes.
Daddy!
Daddy! Daddy!
We're Mr. Craig's daughters.
Yes, I know.
Binns! Kay, you remember
Binns, don't you? Oh, yes.
How are you, Binns?
Miss Kay.
Where's Daddy? Oh, this
can't be! Miss Penelope?
That's me, all right.
But, Miss Penny, you were--
[Penny]
Where's Daddy?
He just left.
Didn't he get our wire?
Yes, but... he had an
engagement for lunch. With her?
Then you know?
That's why we came.
I see. [Joan] What's
she like, Binns?
Well, she's-- Yes, she is--
Yes, she is!
Hello, Precious.
Hello, dear.
Hungry?
No, not very.
I've already ordered everything
that you like. Thanks, darling.
Tell me. What is the big
news? Oh, that can wait.
I don't like mysteries.
Tell me now.
How old do you think I am?
Oh, well, now let me see.
I should say about 35.
[Chuckling]
Dear, please tell me.
Well, uh-- You know I've been
married before. Yes, I knew that.
My first marriage
had some consequences.
Consequences?
Darling, you mean a child?
How nice! I'm afraid
there's more than one.
You mean two?
Well, uh--
How charming. Where
are they? I adore children.
They only arrived in New York
this morning... all three of them.
Uh... three? Oh.
Are they like you, dear?
Well, not exactly.
They're girls.
Girls.
Three girls.
How charming.
Here they are.
Oh, how adorable! What
chubby knees this one's got.
Of course, they're a
little older now. They are?
But they won't bother us.
I've sent them to Newport.
There he is... over there.
Where?
Are you sure?
In the gray suit.
Daddy! Daddy!
[Indistinct Chattering]
My goodness,
this is a surprise.
Why weren't you
at the boat?
Uh, I-- Precious, Miss Lyons,
these are my daughters.
They sort of grew up
while I wasn't looking.
This is Joan.
No, I'm Kay.
This must be Joan.
Yes, I'm Joan.
- This is Penny.
- How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do? Oh.
Didn't Wilbur meet you
at the boat? Who's Wilbur?
Oh, he's-- Never mind. Will
the young ladies have luncheon?
Oh, I'm starved! Don't you
think you'd better go home?
Oh, Daddy, no. I've never
eaten in areal restaurant.
Could I have caviar?
It's only fish eggs. Caviar!
Just because we're away from
Mommy, you needn't start that.
Muffins and milk as usual.
I won't have anything!
All right, pigheaded,
go hungry!
They say you and I are pigheaded,
but we're just strong-minded.
Yes, of course. I told you.
We had to come and see you.
You're exactly like your pictures.
Mommy has you all over the house.
All over-- That's very
nice of her, isn't it?
Jud, don't you think-- And
that picture in the paper.
It certainly flattered
Miss Lyons,
but it didn't do
a thing for you, Daddy.
How did you know I
was here? Binns told us.
He was so glad to
see us again. Binns!
Darling, don't you think--
We ran away to come see you.
Does your mother know
where you are? We left a note.
Does she know you arrived?
I knew we forgot something.
You'd better cable her. Girls
arrived safely. Love and kisses, Jud.
I couldn't do that!
Send it yourself. You'll find
a telegraph desk in the lobby.
I'll go. Excuse me.
Tell her we've found Daddy.
He's very glad to see us-- Shh.
What do you mean, shh? I'd
better be going. Mother's waiting.
Please don't go, Precious.
Pardon me. I want to send a cable to
Mrs. Judson Craig, Belleville, Switzerland.
You'd better write it down,
miss.
There you are,
Lord Stuart.
I'm sorry to have kept you
waiting. That's all right, Hamilton.
I was delayed in traffic.
The car is outside. Yes, yes.
We'd better hurry.
We're late.
How much, please?
That'll be five dollars.
Five dollars?
But, Lord Stuart!
Hamilton,
couldn't we lunch here?
We're meeting the Secretary of
State at the club. I forgot all about it.
I'm so sorry.
We came over with Martha. You
remember Martha, don't you? That's settled.
Did you send it? It was quite
expensive. It cost us five dollars!
Now we can have lunch.
You must be hungry, Donna.
Is your name Donna?
I thought it was Precious.
If you'll excuse me, I have to do
some shopping with my mother.
I'll see you all at dinner.
Good-bye.
[Mr. Craig]
But, Donna, your lunch.
Donna,
they're only children.
She couldn't take it.
Mmm, chicken livers.
Muffins and milk!
That's no food for fighters!
Well, darling?
Congratulations. You're
going to be a grandmother.
What?
Jud's three daughters arrived
from Europe this morning.
They walked right into the Carlton
screaming Daddy at the top of their lungs.
Oh. I was never so
embarrassed in all my life.
- What did you do?
- What did I do? I left.
I shall never let you alone with him
again. You always do something foolish.
What would you expect me
to do, kiss them?
What would I expect?
Three girls arrive from Europe, obviously
to make trouble, and you run away from them.
You should've stayed, won
them over, talked nicely to them.
You should have said--
Oh, what adorable children!
So nice to have them with you. Donna told
me about your lovely meeting at the Carlton.
So gay, so full of spirit!
I've always said children
make life worth the living.
To think they came all the way
across the ocean Just to see you.
Such devotion.
It's really very touching.
And what lovely frocks.
Paris, of course!
The French have such exquisite
taste. Mommy has exquisite taste.
You should see Mommy's clothes. Everybody
says Mommy's the best-dressed woman in Europe.
I'm sure she's a very
charming woman. Oh, yes.
Excuse me, Mr. Craig, but it's
time Miss Penny went to bed.
I think it's high time Miss Penny
went to bed. No, Daddy, please.
I'm having such fun. Come,
come. Be a good girl and go to bed.
Oh, very well.
All right!
[Mumbling]
Huh?
Nothing. Good night,
Daddy. Good night.
Night. Good night,
you dear, sweet girl. Oh!
I'm so sorry. I beg
your pardon. Penny!
But, Daddy, I just--
Good night.
Good night, everyone.
[Craig] Such a clumsy child!
[Mrs. Lyons] It's quite all right.
She's only a baby. Donna
was always spilling things.
I thought she'd never learn. Now look
at the dear girl, engaged to be married.
Mother dear. I beg your
pardon, sir. Coffee is served,
Come, children. Daddy,
we've got so much to tell you.
Donna has a lovely surprise for you.
Tell him, dear.
It's only a song.
It's that song you like so much--
Nobody Cares For Me. No,
Mother, Somebody Cares For Me.
[Mrs. Lyons] Oh, I am so stupid.
1 always get things mixed up.
[Sighs] Binns, you took the
words right out of my mouth.
The trouble with Daddy is he
doesn't know anything about women.
And when you think
what a lovely woman Mommy is.
That Precious is just--
Oh, go to sleep.
Oh, very well.
[Piano]
[Donna] Will I discover
I was afraid of that.
Someone to care for me
Who'll never scold me
[Whispering] Some savage
tribes put honey all over people...
and let the ants devour them.
It's too hard
to get enough ants.
Will someone ever sing me
A love song while we dance
Will the music bring me
Romance
I read about a man that invented a ray that
positively shrivels people at 200 yards.
Where is he?
In Sweden, I think.
Oh.
Poor Dad. Look at him.
She's got him all wrapped up
and tied with a ribbon.
And I bet she'd drop him like a hot potato
if a man with more money came along.
You said it, sister.
And will that someone
Be all I dreamed
My love would be
Are you the three girls
from Europe?
Where's the third one?
[Banging, Scraping]
[Banging Continues]
That's her.
Ah, an acrobat.
Me
[Loud Banging]
She missed the net.
Be all I dreamed my--
Excuse me, please.
Good evening.
Now, what's all this
racket about?
Daddy, where did you
get that bed? That bed?
That bed's a Louis XV.
That's 200 years old.
Well, no wonder! Would you mind
telling me why you're moving the furniture?
Martha snores so,
I can't sleep beside her.
You couldn't either.
Nobody could.
So, I moved in here.
Do you realize that I have guests downstairs,
that Miss Lyons is trying to sing?
I thought the ceiling
would come down!
Oh, why didn't you stop her?
Penny, you've got
to keep quiet!
This is no time of night to
move beds. Daddy, come here.
[Snoring]
Now listen to that.
[Snoring]
Mm-hmm.
See?
Close the door
and go to bed.
In that bed? Come
on. I'll help you fix it.
[Slapping]
Daddy,
please don't do that.
You mustn't do that! [Mr.
Craig] Will you be quiet?
Please, Daddy, don't!
Daddy, please! Stop it, please.
That's the wrong end. That
should be there and that there.
It won't hold together.
It's all no good.
It'll hold together.
It's fixed now.
See?
[Laughing]
Ah, Daddy,
you're so funny!
Look. Look.
Come on, Martha.
Help me with this.
Daddy doesn't know a thing
about fixing beds.
[Laughing]
The funniest kid.
[Chuckling]
[Coughs]
Oh, I'm sorry.
I, uh I'm sorry.
Penny just collapsed
w-w-with that old--
That old Louis XV.
I had a terrible time
putting them together again.
The poor child can't sleep.
She snores too much.
She snores. What on
earth are you talking about?
You didn't spank Penny,
did you? No, of course not.
Judson, I want to speak to
you privately. Yes, certainly.
Come, Donna.
[Bill]
Just a minute, J.C.
I've got to talk to you
about that Philadelphia deal.
Not just at the moment,
young man!
There, see? And you
stand around doing nothing.
Get into action! Do
something! What about you?
I've got nothing to worry about.
It's you they're gunning for.
They may have you completely
surrounded by sunrise.
Really? What shall we do? Yes!
Let's go see Penny.
Oh, what can Penny do?
What can Penny do? Who spilled
the wine on the pelican's dress?
Who moved the furniture around? Whose idea
was it to come here in the first place?
I'm doing all the hard work.
What can Penny do?
[Bill] Hello. Hello.
- Who are you?
- Bill Evans. I manage your father's investments.
Investments? Is that all you can
manage? What about this situation?
Hal That wasn't a bad idea
you had a while ago. Which one?
If someone came along with more
money, she'd drop J.C. like a hot potato.
- Yes, if.
- I think I know just the right man.
Who is he? A Hungarian, a real
count. She'd fall for him in no time.
Not her. She knows
Dad's a good thing.
Let's go upstairs. I don't want
to see those two faces again.
Why shouldn't we try it?
I think it's a grand idea.
I'll look him up in
the morning. Good!
Don't cry, Precious.
I'll do anything you say,
but please don't cry.
You will send them away,
won't you? They just got here.
If they stay they'll spoil
everything between us.
You must send them back
immediately!
I, I- All right,
I'll send them back.
Now you're talking sense.
Come along. We must get home.
She looks so pale.
I'll see you home.
No, Judson. It's your duty
to speak to the girls tonight.
But I could tell them tomorrow.
Tonight, dear.
Very well, Precious.
You won't weaken,
Judson? No, I won't weaken.
Promise, dear?
I promise.
Everything is settled. I knew it
would all turn out for the best.
Oh, Bill.
Will you see the ladies
home, please?
Okay.
Stop biting your nails.
sorry.
I don't see what
we have to worry about.
They can't do anything to us.
They can turn Dad against us.
Alienation of affections.
What's that?
It's when somebody--
well, they, uh--
Yes. Oh, I see. Then
we could sue them.
What good would that do Mommy
after they've got him roped and married?
Do you think we can depend
on this Bill person?
I'm sure we can.
He has nice eyes.
Oh, mush!
Hello, Daddy!
[Joan] Hello, Daddy.
[Kay]
Hello, Dad.
Hello, girls.
Sit on my bed, Daddy.
Martha fixed it. Sit down.
You should've seen Daddy
when the bed went down.
I didn't know it was so much fun to have a
father around. You haven't changed a bit.
Remember the time Penny swallowed the
button and you and Mommy were so excited?
And I fell off the pony
and cut my head?
Look, Daddy.
You can still see the scar.
Mmm.
Well, girls,
Donna-- Miss Lyon--
She has a charming voice.
Yes, hasn't she?
She flats a little on a
high note. Yes, doesn't--
What do you mean, flats?
She has a bad tremolo.
She sings like this:
Aah
The correct way is:
Ahh
well, where did you
learn to sing?
[Joan] Penny's been
studying for the last two years.
Didn't Mother write?
No, not that I know of.
Madam Borelli says she's going
to be a great singer someday.
I know the song Miss Lyons was
singing. Would you like to hear it?
Well, I didn't come up here
to hear--
You sit right down and listen.
Will I discover
Someone to care for me
Who'll never scold me
Just hold me tenderly
Will someone ever sing me
A love song while we dance
Will the music bring me
Romance
Will there be someone
Whenever skies are gray
Who'll kiss my lonely tears away
And will that someone
Be all I dreamed
My love would be
Someone to care
For me
Bluebird
you sing of happiness
Swinging in a blossom-laden tree
But tell me, bluebird
Will there be happiness
For me
Will I discover
Someone to care for me
Who'll never scold me
Just hold me tenderly
Will someone ever sing me
A love song while we dance
Will the music bring me
Romance
Will there be someone
Whenever skies are gray
TO Kiss my lonely tears
Away
And will that someone
Be all I dreamed
My love would be
Someone to care
For
Me
Tuck me in, Daddy.
Will you?
Good night, Daddy.
Children, there's something
that I must tell you.
Yes, Daddy.
I, uh--
Good night.
Pleasant dreams.
[Wilbur]
Mr. Craig.
I'm sorry, sir.
I waited for all the boats.
The children evidently
didn't arrive today.
You're fired!
But--
[Door Slams]
Isn't this a beautiful day?
The sun...
and the fresh air.
Jud, dear, you haven't answered
my question. Oh, yes, the que--
Darling,
they only arrived yesterday.
I've got to let them stay
a few days.
But you promised me.
No, I didn't prom-- Did I?
Judson, didn't you
tell the children?
Mother, it's quite all
right. They're so young.
I'd like them to have some
fun before they go back,
something pleasant to
remember. I can't understand you!
I think you're
quite right.
Let's take the children out
this evening.
Precious darling, that's
just like you. Oh, sweetie.
Will you make up
your mind?
Hey, Count, wake up.
Hey, Count, wake up!
[Mumbling]
Hey, Count, wake up.
[Sighs]
Ah!
Come on, sober up!
[Mumbling]
Sit down over here.
Oh, Bill. Hello, Bill.
Come on, wake up.
I want to talk to you.
Talk to me?
Bring me a glass of water.
Water?
How are you?
Since when
do you drink water?
Me? Water?
Ah. Thank you.
Listen, sponge, how would you like to
make a little honest money for a change?
Honest money?
No. Och.
You won't have to work. All you'll
have to do is make love to a girl.
Send her right over.
Listen, this is important.
I'll give you anything you want.
I want to go back to Budapest.
If you'll help me out, I'll pay
your way back to Budapest.
You will, Bill?
Oh, Budapest! Ja!
Whee!
Yah!
Whee!
[Bill]
Hello, girls.
[Shouting]
Hello, girls!
Bill!
Hello.
Everything's all fixed.
Oh, really?
[Chattering]
Wait a minute. One at
a time. what's he like?
He's young.
Is he good looking?
Women cry for him.
And rich?
Hasn't got a dime, drinks
like a sponge and hates work.
I knew we couldn't
depend on him. But, Bill--
If we sober him up, give him
ready cash, throw him to the Lyons...
and introduce him as one of the richest men in
Europe, your father wouldn't stand a chance.
This mug is a bona fide count.
If she thinks he's got money--
What about the money?
Don't worry, I've got some.
You're grand.
What's his name?
Now you've got me. I've known him a
couple of years and I never can think--
Count Cheknek Valvashy Arisztid.
Huh?
That's his name.
Count Chek--"
You better keep it.
You'll need it when you introduce
him. When can we introduce him?
The next time we're all together
with the Lyons-- Hello, children.
Daddy!
Hello, J.C.
Doesn't Daddy look too cute
in riding britches?
- Girls, how would you like to go to the Jungle Club tonight?
- Dad, that's grand.
Will Miss Lyons be there?
Of course.
That's exactly the place for us
to... dance. May Bill come too?
He'll have to go
to Philadelphia.
Today? You said it
was urgent, didn't you?
Couldn't I
go down tomorrow?
That deal's been hanging fire
long enough. Get the next train.
I'll have to run then.
I'll see Bill out.
In case you need advice,
call me.
I wonder what
I'll wear tonight.
Penny, darling, you're too young
to go to a nightclub.
Oh, Daddy, no!
I'll take you to the zoo
tomorrow. To the zoo?
I see enough monkeys
around here. What's this?
I said it'd be lovely to
see the monkeys. Yeah?
Don't worry, he'll be there.
How will we know him?
I'll tell him to wear a white
carnation. That's not enough.
Wait a minute!
I've got it!
Have him carry this
under his arm like this.
Then we'll surely know him.
Bright girl.
Say he's an old friend from the
Riviera, one of the richest men in Europe.
I'll give him cash and
instructions. You're wonderful.
Hold that thought till I get
back. You won't stay long?
Until tomorrow. I'll call the minute I
get in. I've got to sober up the count.
Good-bye, Bill.
Good luck.
[Orchestra]
No magazine yet.
Having a good time,
children?
Yes, Dad.
Yes, Dad.
Would you like to dance,
dear? I'd love to, darling.
Uh...
have you any
nonalcoholic beverages?
Certainly, sir.
You have?
Whiskey straight, please.
Huh? Very good, sir.
My check, please.
Yes, sir.
Yetchi!
Arisztid!
- Where have you been?
- I'm going back to Budapest!
I'm going to Budapest!
Your check, sir.
If it isn't that nice Count
what's-his-name we met on the Riviera!
I must speak to him!
Are all the nightclubs
as dull as this one?
It's a little early yet.
Things will liven up later.
Why, how do you do?
You're late. I thought you'd
never get here. How do you do?
Wait a minute, please. I--
Joan is here and you must meet Father!
Have you got money?
I beg your pardon?
Money? I'll give you
more later if you need it.
Don't forget, we met you
on the Riviera.
When you see Joan, tell her
how much she looks like Mother.
That'll prove you know us.
Joan is the one in the black dress.
Has he money? He's one
of the richest men in Europe.
Where'd you meet him?
On the Riviera last year.
Are you sure you're sober? What?
Joan, you remember
Count-- Count--
Michael Stuart.
That's much simpler.
It's so nice to see you again.
It is nice, isn't it?
I'm Mrs. Lyons.
Really? How do you do?
How do you do?
Mother?
What? Oh, yes.
My, you do resemble
your mother.
How is the dear lady?
Quite well, thank you.
Daddy, I want you to meet Count
Michael Stuart. We met him on the Riviera.
How do you do? Mrs. Lyon.
How do you do?
I've already met the count.
This is my daughter. Charmed.
Will you join us?
With pleasure, thank you.
[Whispering]
[Kay] Sit over here.
Wasn't there a Lord Stuart connected
with the Colonial Bank of Australia?
Yes, my late father. I took
over the bank two years ago.
Don't put it on too thick. [Mrs.
Lyons] Were you the only son?
Yes, Mrs. Lyons, yes.
Nice music, isn't it?
Would you care to dance?
Come on, do!
Excuse us, please.
You should've asked her.
I much prefer you.
Judson, are they very rich?
They own practically
half of Australia.
Half of Australia? That's
mostly bush, isn't it?
Didn't Bill tell you?
Bill? Oh, yes.
But I'm afraid I was awfully--
You should stop drinking.
I promise you I'll never touch
another drop. Tell me what to do.
Keep pretending you're terribly
rich and get her away from Dad.
Who? Mrs. Lyons?
Miss Lyons!
She's after Dad's money, and we
want him to go back to our mother.
Be careful. She might
think you like me. But I do.
But you're being paid
to like her. Oh, of course.
You must keep reminding me. I'm
awfully absentminded. It's the alcohol.
You'd better dance with her
next time and begin--
Begin what?
Being nice to her.
Won't that make your
father jealous? Be subtle.
Make an appointment
with her tomorrow for lunch.
And then what? Pretend you're in
love with her and get her away from Dad.
What am I to do
when I get her?
You won't have to do anything when
she finds out you have no money,
you're a good-looking drunkard
and you won't work.
May I have this dance,
Miss Lyons?
I'd be delighted.
Thank you.
Excuse me, Jud, dear.
He's very young to be the
head of a bank. Is he married?
Hmm, what?
Wha-- What?
Is he married? Do you know anything about
the family? Why are you so interested?
After all, he's been dancing
with your daughter.
He's dancing with
your daughter now, isn't he?
As a matter of fact,
he is, isn't he?
What's the matter?
Oh, nothing.
Why are you
staring at me like that?
I'm finding out a few things.
Are you a mind reader?
Yes, it's a hobby of mine.
Can you tell me what
I'm thinking about? Yes.
Well, tell me.
I wouldn't dare.
Please do.
You're thinking this is a very forward and
presumptuous young man who dances badly.
No, you're wrong.
Thank you.
Have you any other hobbies?
Numerology.
Know anything
about numbers?
Then concentrate.
Mm-hmm.
Seven, two, four, three, six.
Repeat that.
Seven, two, four, three, six.
Sounds like a telephone
number. It is... mine. Plaza.
Will you call me in the
morning? Don't be ridiculous!
Oh, I'm sorry.
[Mouthing Numbers]
Did you say Plaza?
Yes.
He's overdoing it. He's
not bad for a drunkard.
[Mrs. Lyons] You dance
beautifully together. Thank you.
Let's dance again.
Pardon me.
I'll have this one.
How am I doing?
Splendid. Keep it up.
Dear Count, tell me all about yourself.
It must be exciting in Australia.
1 hear they do nothing
but have cocktail parties-
I thought it was Hungary. What's
the difference? He's doing great.
We raise pygmies, madam.
Pygmies?
Oh, yes, pygmies. How odd.
Do you know Lord and Lady Landerbar in
London? They're dear friends of Donna's.
Oh, yes, quite well. He has
a face like a trout and she--
Frankly, I think she looks
like a prow of a Chinese junk.
You say the most
amusing things, Count.
Family trait: a ready wit and
complete lack of character.
We drink, you know.
[Mrs. Lyons]
Oh, how amusing. You drink!
[Chuckling]
Yes, of course, you drink.
A funny thing,
these family traits.
The Stuarts drink
and the Craigs like to kick people.
Tell me, what do
the Lyonses do, madam?
The Lyons roar!
[Chortling]
I resign.
Please, don't.
Please, here, take it.
To your funny, little nose.
To Budapest.
To Budapest.
Come on, let's go.
They're waiting for us.
Two girls, both lovely
girls. Wait a minute.
I have work to do.
Work? Work?
Uh, excuse me.
All right, let's go.
Stevens, I've decided I
like New York. Yes, sir.
I even like my coffee
this morning. Tea, sir.
Oh, yes, so it is.
Don't be alarmed if I seem
a little absent-minded these days.
No, sir. I mean, yes, sir.
[Phone Ringing]
I'll get it. I'll get it!
Hello. Yes, I'm in.
Oh, good morning.
I got your flowers.
Of course I like them.
But I don't see any sense throwing
away our money on flowers for me.
It's only fair:
your money, your flowers.
Did you send flowers
to Miss Lyons?
Yes, I did. She called
me up a few minutes ago.
I'm lunching with her
at the Bristol at 1:00.
That's fine.
Report to us later. Good-bye.
Wait a minute. Ahem.
I'll need some money for the bill.
Very well.
I'll send it over.
No, don't send it.
Bring it yourself.
You see, I don't know quite what to do.
I need some instruction.
Very well,
I'll-- I'll be right over.
Now what is it? He wants
instructions and more money.
[Penny]
More money?
The man is a vile scoundrel,
a cad and a bounder...
who fleeces
unsuspecting women.
Uh-oh. She's been reading
those magazines again.
Look under her pillow.
Kay, get away from there!
Give me that magazine!
Give it to me! Give it to me!
This isn't helping us
with our problem.
We need more money, and
Bill's in Philadelphia. [Knocking]
Come in. Good
morning, young ladies.
Your breakfast is ready.
I can't stop for any, Binns. I've got to go right away!
We need more money, and
Mr. Evans is in Philadelphia.
May I ask what you need
the money for? It's a long story.
It's about that Precious situation.
We figured out-- I understand.
Is this the best you have?
Yes, sir, $7,000.
I don't have to tell you it's
set in platinum. It's a gem!
The color of this
stone is-- I'll take it.
Thank you. Miss Kay
Craig's in the lobby, sir.
Show her up
and please stay out.
Would you mind waiting in the other
room a few minutes? Certainly not.
Oh, here.
Thank you.
[Doorbell Buzzing]
Good morning.
Good morning.
Come in.
Oh! This must be
quite expensive!
How much are we paying
for it? Sixty dollars a day.
Sixty dollars a day! No,
no, a week! I'm so sorry.
I must make
a good impression.
It wouldn't do at all to spoil things by
economizing after such a good start, would it?
No.
What did Miss Lyons
say to you on the phone?
She said I was very charming and
she'd be delighted to have lunch with me.
What did you say?
A lot of things.
She's very lovely
and so intelligent...
and beautiful and charming.
I like this job.
Well, here's your money,
and don't spend it all for lunch.
It's Binns's wages.
Who's Binns?
Our butler. He loaned
us this money to pay you.
[Stuart]
That's very nice of him.
You have to be careful.
Oh, yes, very careful.
[Stuart] Uh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Hmph!
Where are you going?
You have a lot of nerve
picking out a $7,000 ring!
Cigarette?
Haven't you any conscience?
Conscience about what?
You were just about to
cheat that poor man! Oh, no!
I wouldn't cheat anybody. I just
wanted to buy a little gift... for you.
For me?
Yes.
Do you think I'd accept a
$7,000 ring that wasn't paid for?
I would have paid for it, on terms, you
know-- a dollar down, a dollar 2 week.
For 7,000 weeks?
Yes. That is rather
along time, isn't it?
Can't you stop drinking?
It's awfully difficult, really.
You see,
I need a good influence,
someone to keep my mind off it.
Oh, I see.
There's no telling when
the urge may come over me.
There's still a couple of hours
till my luncheon appointment.
Could you keep an eye on me, go
for a walk in the fresh air? No, I ca
Do you think it would
help you? Infinitely.
Do you like New York?
I love it.
I'd like to live here always.
Wouldn't you?
We might after we're
married. After who's married?
Miss Lyons and I.
Isn't it amazing?
But-- Not an empty
bench in the whole park.
You're not going to marry her,
are you? I may have to if she insists.
I'll do anything
to save your father.
Would that be fair to go that far
without telling her who you really are?
There's a remote possibility
she might love me for myself.
Not that woman!
Do you think any woman
could love me for myself?
Maybe if you'd settle down and
went to work. Could you, Kay?
No. No, I couldn't.
You're an adventurer, a drunkard
and you won't work. Is that all?
You take money for
making love to other women.
And there's no hope?
Oh, what are you doing?
From now on,
I'll drink twice as much.
Give me that key.
No! No!
When a man's unhappy,
he has to drink.
Come on.
Come on, get up!
What's the matter?
Your hour's up.
On your way!
It's getting so a guy
can't flop around here anymore.
I'm goin' home.
Oh, thank you.
[Sighs]
I'm so glad he didn't arrest you...
because we need
you on the job. Oh.
Wouldn't you have been
sorry for me behind bars?
What time is it?
Quarter past 12:00.
Plenty of time left
for my luncheon appointment.
Waiter?
Yes, madame?
This is the Bristol,
isn't it? Yes, madame.
Are you quite sure? Yes,
madame. I've been here 11 years.
Almost as long as I have.
Yes, madame.
[Phone Ringing]
Hello.
Oh, it's you, Judson.
No, she isn't feeling very well.
No, I, I, I can't have her
come to the telephone now.
You see, she's asleep.
- I better send my doctor.
- You mustn't worry, Judson. It isn't bad, really.
Very well. I'll call later.
Oh, where were we?
Regarding your suggestion that
we establish another office in Cuba--"
Another office in Cuba.
We're sending a representative
to look over the territory.
Perhaps
I'd better go myself.
- To Cuba?
- Yes. I'll be back in half an hour.
But, Mr. Craig
Hello, J.C. Everything's settled in
Philadelphia-- I'm sorry, I must hurry.
I have an important--
Cuba isn't feeling very well.
I'll be back later.
Mr. Evans, I think there must be
something wrong with Mr. Craig.
You think? I know there
is! Anything for me? Yes, sir.
There's a gentleman waiting in
the reception room to see you.
A Mr. Chek-- Chek--
Yes, show him in.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Chik-- Chek--
You, come in.
Hello.
Hello there, Count.
Nice work last night. Sit down.
[Intercom Buzzing]
What is it? [Woman] Shall
I come in now, Mr. Evans?
Come in in about five minutes
and bring the mail.
Well, Bill, I, uh-- the girls--
I called the girls from the station this
morning. They said everything was going great.
I'm proud of you, my boy.
Honestly, I didn't give you credit
for having brains.
You'll have to excuse me, but you're doing
splendidly. Keep me posted, won't you?
Yes, of course.
Uh, how about
a little more cash, Bill?
- Spend all I gave you?
- A woman like that is pretty expensive.
- Well, how much?
- Uh, 500.
Five hundred!
You must understand,
flowers, champagne--
What is your name again?
Count Arisztid Cheknek Valvashy.
How do you spell it?
Uh, it's, uh--
Better make it for cash.
How do you do, Mr. Craig?
How is she?
Oh, I wasn't expecting you.
Is she still asleep?
Well, no, she isn't.
Has the doctor been here?
I told you it wasn't serious.
Can't I see her? No. As a
matter of fact, she isn't in.
I want she isn't in?
No!
Where is she?
I thought it'd be a good idea
if she'd take a walk.
Oh.
How perfectly beautiful! I'll
put them in a vase of water.
Oh, Judson,
they're really so lovely!
Where did these come from?
Judson!
Donna's a very attractive girl. It's
not her fault if men fall in love with her.
She has to have some freedom.
She's not formally engaged to you.
I shouldn't be surprised if Donna
decided not to marry you at all, so there!
But I, I--
Mother!
What are you saying?
Jud, darling, I've been waiting
at the Carlton for you.
Where were you? Donna,
don't you want to marry me?
Of course, darling.
I'd marry you tomorrow.
I thought you wanted to wait
until the girls went back.
Forget about the girls. We can go to
Atlantic City in the morning and be married.
Darling, how wonderful!
Excuse me a moment,
will you, dear?
You'll pardon me, please.
What about the Australian
bushman? He never showed up!
Oh, Jud, I'm so pleased!
I shall telephone Atlantic City
and make all the arrangements.
Marrying Judson Craig?
Yes, indeed.
Tomorrow at 2:00
in Atlantic City.
2:00.
Oh, that's splendid!
We'll send a photographer.
That'll be fine.
Thank you very much.
Congratulations, Mrs. Lyons.
If this is what love does to people,
I'm glad I'm an old maid.
Did you see it?
Yes, we know.
That isn't all. Mommy's
arriving in a few days. It's terrible!
I can't understand it. I thought
everything was going great.
The count had lunch-- No, he
didn't. He was in the park with Kay.
He was what? They were
in the park romancing.
He missed that luncheon
with Precious?
Exactly!
And it's all Kay's fault!
I didn't know what time it
was. He set his watch back. Oh.
Why were you out with him
in the first place?
I had to give him money to
pay the luncheon check. You--
Wait a minute. You gave
him money too? Of course.
I'll be back.
Well, that's settled.
What's settled?
Where have you been?
I just had $500 worth of fun.
Look at you.
What happened?
Not much. I just bounced
a chair off the count's head.
I'm sorry to say, the chair broke.
Same thing happened with the table.
I clipped him faintly on the chin
and he went through a mirror.
I threw what was left of him in the
bathtub and turned on the cold shower.
He's probably sober by this time,
that drunken crook!
If he'd been twins, I'd have had
twice as much fun. Where's Kay?
I don't know.
Bill, your face.
It's just a scratch.
Does it hurt?
That ought to teach him not to try any
more chiseling, that good-for-nothing--
Bill, what are we
going to do about Dad?
The wedding's tomorrow,
Mommy's coming-- I know.
If I thought I stood half a chance,
I'd go after that Lyons girl myself.
Bill Evans, you'll do
no such thing. Why not?
Oh.
Why, Joan!
Go ahead and kiss her. I can stand
anything after all I've been through!
What day is today?
Wednesday, sir.
Are you sure?
Quite sure, sir.
Have you noticed me getting more
absent-minded lately? I certainly have, sir.
You know what happened
today, Stevens? No, sir.
I tipped a lamppost and
struck a match on the doorman.
You don't say so, sir.
That's bad, isn't it?
That's pretty bad, sir.
[Doorbell Buzzing]
Excuse me, sir.
[Gasping]
Hello.
Oh--
Oh.
What's the matter?
Aren't you hurt?
Hurt?
Didn't a chair hit you?
What chair? No!
Here!
Didn't he beat you up?
Who?
He! Bill Evans!
Tell me, who is Bill Evans?
Who are you?
I'm Michael Stuart,
don't you remember?
It can't be true. My
parents seem to think so.
Stevens!
Yes, sir.
Stevens, who am I?
Speak up.
Who am I?
Don't you remember, sir?
You're Michael Edward Albert
George Percival,
viscount,
the honorable Lord Stuart.
Thank you, Stevens.
Yes, sir.
Then you're not a drunkard?
No.
And you don't need any money?
Not exactly.
Then you lied and tricked us
when you honestly meant to help us?
But, Kay, listen to me.
Dad's getting married tomorrow and it's all your
fault because you didn't do as you promised.
I hate you!
[Sobbing]
[Door Slams]
Stevens.
Yes, sir.
Get me the Dorsay, Miss
Donna Lyons. Very well, sir.
What? The Ritz?
You said the Bristol.
I waited there until 2:00.
What's happened?
I'm still waiting... at the Ritz!
I'm sure you said the Bristol.
Must you sail? You're
getting married, aren't you?
Does that matter to you? Here are
three cabins on the Queen Elizabeth.
Two for you.
For me?
One for your mother, one for
yourself, in case you change your mind.
That's impossible. Nothing's
impossible. Where shall we dine?
You'd better take me home. I have
an awful lot to do. Just as you say.
Charles, the Dorsay.
Here are your tickets.
No, keep them...
and think it over.
Are you always so
impetuous? Just determined.
You see, my whole happiness
depends on this.
What are those? Two cabins
on the Queen Elizabeth.
Michael Stuart wants us to sail
with him tomorrow. What did you say?
I didn't commit myself.
I said I'd think it over.
Did he propose?
Practically. Said his happiness
depended on our going.
You're going to marry Judson
tomorrow. You can always go to Australia.
Besides, Jud isn't as young
as he tries to be.
Who knows how soon
you'll be a widow.
Believe me, Donna, 10 million at
the altar is worth 20 million in the bush.
That's right.
And who asked you?
Yes'm.
That means he has loads
of money. Suppose he has.
He let us down just when
we were depending on him.
Why didn't you tell him to go
after her? Don't talk about him!
I detest him!
Oh, yes, you detest him.
You're so in love with him you're willing
to let Mommy down because you're afraid...
Precious might take him
away from you.
A fine pill you are!
You should talk.
You told Bill he shouldn't
dare go near Precious. When?
This afternoon when he offered
to go after her himself.
So, I'm the pill!
You're both
a couple of pills!
Mommy's going to arrive
and find Dad married.
[All Sobbing]
Penny!
What is it?
Nothing, Daddy.
I-- I just wanted to see you
once again, that's all.
Uh, I'm sorry
I woke you up.
Penny, come here.
What do you mean?
Daddy, are you really
getting married tomorrow?
Yes.
Do you love Miss Lyons?
Of course.
More than us?
Oh, Penny, it's different.
I just wanted to be sure,
that's all.
Be a good little girl
and go to bed.
We'll talk it over tomorrow.
I won't be here tomorrow.
Don't talk nonsense!
Of course you will.
I'm going away.
Back to your mother?
Where are you going,
Penny?
Just away.
I can't bear to see Mommy unhappy.
When she saw your picture
with Miss Lyons, she cried.
That's why we came.
It'll be worse if you get married.
I can't bear it. I can't!
I better go now.
No. No, you'd better
sleep on the couch in here.
Then we'll have a nice,
long talk in the morning.
Come, darling.
Calm down.
Lie down here, sweet,
and get some sleep.
Your daddy'll
tuck you in there.
There, how's that?
What are those for?
I wear them to keep me from
biting my nails when I'm worried.
Don't worry anymore, darling.
I can't help it.
Good night, baby.
Good night, Daddy.
Penny?
Penny!
Where is Penny?
Penny? I don't know.
Penny! Penny!
Martha!
What is it?
Penny in there?
Penny? No, why?
Penny's gone!
What?
Penny's gone?
Penny!
Miss Penny!
Miss Penny!
Penny!
Miss Penny!
Miss Penny!
Broadcast at once and call us.
Okay, Commissioner.
[Phone Ringing]
Hello. You did, eh?
No sign? Thank you.
Superintendent searched the
building and couldn't find her.
Mr. Craig, please find her.
Please!
My Penny!
What shall I say to Mrs. Craig?
[Penny] Let me go! I think we
found the Craig girl. Come on in.
Let me go! I'm not the
Craig girl! Calm down.
I don't want to!
I'm not the Craig girl.
You're not, eh?
No!
Then who are you?
I don't remember.
Oh, tsk, tsk, tsk.
That's too bad.
Why did you run away from home?
I didn't run away from home...
and I won't answer
any more questions, so there!
Well, it's all right with us.
Get me Judson Craig on the
phone, please. No, please, don't!
I remember.
I'm--I'm Lida Borelli.
Yes, Lida Borelli.
I just arrived from Paris.
Lida Borelli, eh?
Well, what are you
doing over here?
Uh, I'm an opera singer.
I'm going to sing in
the Metropolitan Opera House.
The Metropolitan, eh?
Well!
You don't believe me?
Well, listen.

Mann:
[Applauding]
All right, boys.
That's enough.
Now take her home
to Judson Craig.
Oh, no, please.
Please don't take me home.
Let me stay here, please!
Don't take me home.
Let me stay here.
I'll tell you why I ran away,
but please don't take me home.
Wait a minute, boys.
Now tell me, why don't you
want to go home to your father?
He's worried sick about you.
Yes, I know.
But there's a real reason why I
mustn't go home yet. Tell me, what is it?
Well, I came over
from Europe to-- because--
[Doorbell Buzzing]
What on earth has happened?
Why aren't you dressed?
Penny's gone, disappeared.
I knew it.
Another one of her tricks!
Tricks! You talk about
tricks while my baby-- Ah!
Do you realize that you're
marrying Donna today? No, not today.
Are you going to let that awful
child interfere? Who's awful?
Penny is the nicest kid.
It's your fault she's gone.
My fault? I'm asking you if you're
going to marry my daughter today.
I said not today.
I say today or never!
All right then, never!
- I thought you were a gentleman.
- I'm not a gentleman! I'm a father!
- You're an old fool!
- And you're an old... buzzard!
Oh! Give him back his ring!
Come!
And you needn't think
you've broken Donna's heart.
I've got far better plans for her. We're
sailing for Europe with Michael Stuart.
[Door Slams]
Oh.
[Sobbing]
[Horn Blowing]
Thank goodness we made it.
Where shall I put them,
madam? Just over there, please.
Anything else, madam?
That'll be all, thank you.
How lovely!
That's very thoughtful, isn't it?
He's such a gentleman.
The British have lovely manners.
My dear, everything
turns out for the best.
Why don't you do your face over
and put on that pretty green frock?
It's so becoming
Don't you think so, dear?
Donna, what's the matter?
I'm afraid we're going to be
very lonesome, Mother dear.
Dear Miss Lyons,
I forgot to mention that my ticket
was for the Queen Elizabeth...
next voyage.
So sorry. M.S.
Now you have made
a mess of things!
I have?
You mean you have!
You're always getting your engagements
mixed up. You called off the wedding.
I? I shall stop this boat!
That's what I shall do!
Captain! Steward!
Captain, stop this boat!
Stop this boat! Somebody
stop this boat! Madame.
Can I make any assistance
for you?
Count Cheknek Valvashy
at your service.
Oh, Count. Australian?
Hungarian.
How do you do?
The countess, is she
with you? I am not married.
Oh, is that so?
Donna dear, I want you to meet
Count Chekelvisky. Cheknek Valvashy.
Yes, of course. This is
my daughter. Charmed.
Pardon my appearance,
but my airplane crashed.
Should I put the stop to the boat?
No, that won't be necessary now.
Will you do the honor
of having lunch with me?
That's very charming of you.
Thank you.
Lunch? Why, we'd be
delighted. Wonderful.
Mr. Craig?
I'm Judson Craig.
What--
Is there anything wrong?
Just a minute.
What's wrong?
Has anything happened?
Is there a, uh, Miss Donna
Lyons here? No, she isn't.
Is there a Mrs. Lyons
here? No, she's gone.
Where?
She's gone to Europe.
Is anybody getting married here today?
No, no! Tell me, where's my-- I want my--
Okay, Jack.
Okay, Penny.
- Okay!
- Penny!
My baby is back home!
You wicked girl! Why did
you run away? Don't yell at her!
I'm not yelling at her.
Oh, my darling.
- Where'd you find her?
- Out at the end of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn! What were
you doing out there?
I didn't want to come back
until after--
Have they really gone?
Who?
Precious and the pelican,
that's who.
How do you know?
There isn't anything about you
we don't know, Mr. Craig.
Penny, did you tell--
[Officer] Take it easy!
If you start bawling her out,
we got orders to take her back.
Well, of course, it--
[Mumbling]
Have you had breakfast? No, and
I'm starved! Are you hungry, boys?
I could stand
a cup of coffee.
Come on, let's have some cakes.
Come on, everybody!
Why, Kay, what is it?
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Why are you crying?
I'm not crying. I know why. She's
glad because I'm home, aren't you?
Oh, mush! [Martha]
What's the matter, Kay?
Nothing's the matter. Come,
darling. Tell your daddy.
Please don't touch me.
Oh, poor darling.
Nothing's the matter, really.
If you'll just let me alone.
Please! Let me alone!
[Sobbing]
Kay!
Whom may I announce,
please?
[Cheering]
Oh, Mommy! There she is!
Right over there!
Mommy!
Oh, Mommy!
There she is!
Wave! Wave!
There she is. Wave!
[Excited Chattering]
Mommy, look over there.
Come on.
Come on.
This is Michael Stuart.
How do you do?
And this is Bill Evans.
How do you do?
And this is my daddy.
Yes, dear, I know.
Hello, Dorothy.
Judson.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
My heart is singing
because it's May
My cares go winging
and fly away
For spring came swinging along
Bringing a song today
The breeze that lingers
upon his way
To watch a sunbeam at play
Composes a love song
to the roses
A love song that my heart
Is singing today
On the wings of song
let me fly away
Where woodland voices
are calling
Leaving all my cares behind me
Nevermore to find me
While I tell the world
this is May
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Spring came swinging along
bringing a song today
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Composing a love song
to the roses
A love song that my heart
ls singing today
[Horn Blowing]
Lunch!
Wait a minute!
[indistinct Shouting]
Come on, slowpokes!
Hurry up or I'll beat you.
Don't leave us like this.
It's not fair!
[indistinct Shouting]
Wait a minute!
Last home is an old maid!
Oh, darn!
I'll get you for that!
[Glass Shattering]
What?
Now you've done it.
Hit Daddy right in the eye.
Is it bad?
You knocked it out.
[Gasping]
It's right there.
Won't Mommy be furious!
Oh, dear.
It's her favorite picture.
It was painted just before
they were divorced. It's ruined!
Let's see if we can't
glue it together.
No chance we can hide it?
No. Let's take it outside.
Be careful.
Look out for the table.
Haven't the children come
in yet? I think I heard them.
I'll go and see.
No, I'll go.
And Martha, the children
aren't to know anything about it.
If they don't see it
in your eyes, Mrs. Craig.
We might be able to glue him
together. That looks rather strange.
Look, down like this. See?
I hope it'll work.
I'll get the glue.
Children, why aren't you
getting dressed?
Something happened
to Daddy's picture. I did it.
Doesn't matter. Run along,
darlings. Lunch is waiting.
It was an accident.
Maybe we can fix it.
There's something wrong
with Mommy.
Is anything wrong, Mommy?
Are you mad about the picture?
It doesn't matter. We have so
many other pictures of Daddy--
The big one over the mantle,
two small ones on the desk,
a mediumsized one
up in the bedroom,
the one of Daddy golfing, the one of Daddy
horseback riding, the one of Daddy yachting
That'll do about Daddy.
[Kay] Has some thing
happened to Daddy?
What's happened, Mommy?
What is it? Nothing, dear.
Nothing at all. I--
Penny! Stay here.
Martha, you know
something. What is it? Martha!
What's wrong with Mommy?
There's plenty wrong. Your
father's thinking of marrying again.
Mommy, darling.
Please don't cry, Mommy.
[Quiet Sobbing]
You still love him,
don't you?
It's been 10 years.
I always hoped
he'd come back to us.
Oh, Mommy, you have us.
Please don't cry, darling.
Oh, I'm being silly.
I'm all right now.
Oh, Mommy, Mommy!
Well, something
has to be done.
Biting your nails won't
help. It helps me to think.
If we were only there.
Where?
New York, of course, silly.
What can we do here?
Mommy wouldn't go.
She's much too proud.
Who said anything
about Mommy going?
I mean us.
We'd be shock troops!
We'd take the enemy
by surprise!
There's something in that.
Suppose you and I go over,
and Penny stays here with Mother.
What do you mean, stays here?
It's my idea and I'm going over too!
What about your singing
lessons? This is more important!
I won't be left behind! Don't
get excited. We can't go anyway.
Mommy wouldn't let us.
We could run away.
On our allowance?
Don't be silly.
Think of a better idea
if you're so smart.
What's going on here?
Why aren't you asleep?
Staying up half the night talking!
What will your mother say?
Martha, how much money have
you in the bank? No games tonight!
We don't want to play games.
We're going to New York.
We're going to keep Daddy from
marrying, and bring him back to Mommy.
All we ask is to lend us
a tiny bit of money.
You will, won't you?
You're crazy.
[All Pleading]
Martha, you must!
No!
Go to bed, all of you!
How much money
will we need?
Oh! Oh, Martha!
[Ship Horn Blowing]

oil properties obtained at your request...

At the Seaboard Trust Company since May

Philadelphia deal has got to be closed.
Do I look thinner? Not a
bit. J.C., this is important!
I'll be through in a
minute. Okay, okay!
Since May 2.
We would greatly appreciate--
Your hot water
and lemon juice, sir.
[Mr. Craig] Put it on
the rubbing table, Binns.
What would they
greatly appreciate, Wilbur?
Perhaps I'd better read
the telegram, sir.
A radiogram:
Arriving le-de-France today.
Please meet us.
Love, Joan, Kay and Penny.
Who are they?
Don't you remember, sir?
Of course I remember, but
why should I have to meet them?
They're your daughters, sir.
Good heavens! Do I have
to meet everybody that
My what?
Your daughters, sir.
My daughters?
Yes, sir.
What are they coming here
for? For a visit, I suppose.
Did you hear? My daughters
are coming here to visit.
Why, they can't do that!
What would Precious
She'd think Why,
they can't come here!
They haven't seen you for
10 years, sir. Why Wilbur!
Meet the boat and take
the girls to Newport Yes, sir.
We would greatly appreciate-- Go on!
Get down to the pier and meet the girls!
Yes, sir. What are you
standing around for?
Binns, get Miss Lyons
on the phone. Yes, sir.
Tell Wilkins to get my
bath ready. Yes, sir.
I'm having lunch at the Carlton.
You're having lunch at the Bankers Club.
Don't tell me
where I'm having lunch!
Miss Lyons, sir.
Hello, Precious.
How are you, dear?
Did you sleep well?
That's fine.
Can you have luncheon with me?
I have something important to tell you.
No, no, nothing serious.
just a little surprise, that's all.
In an hour at the Carlton?
Don't be late, dear.
Don't be late.
What's the matter? Binns, order
the car. Get my hat and cane.
Your bath is ready, sir.
What?
Your bath is ready, sir.
Bring it in! Oh, the bath!
Listen, I've got to give those
Philadelphia people a decision.
I can't keep stalling.
I know we shouldn't have
come. Don't worry, Martha.
He'll be glad after we've saved him from
the clutches of that horrible adventuress.
Do you suppose she has a past?
Where did you get those wild ideas?
Out of a magazine I
found on the steamer. Oh!
I shall be blamed for everything. Your
mother will discharge me. No, she won't.
I explained everything
in the note we left.
Besides, we have a right to
see our father every 10 years.
I wonder what he's really
like. Pigheaded like you.
I'm not pigheaded.
I'm strong-minded.
Look at all the cars. I wonder if
they have any accidents in this town.
No, lady, not with me. You're as
safe in this cab as in your mother's lap.
[Crashing Sound]
Oh!
Lap is right!
Uh, is this Mr. Craig's
apartment? Yes.
Daddy!
Daddy! Daddy!
We're Mr. Craig's daughters.
Yes, I know.
Binns! Kay, you remember
Binns, don't you? Oh, yes.
How are you, Binns?
Miss Kay.
Where's Daddy? Oh, this
can't be! Miss Penelope?
That's me, all right.
But, Miss Penny, you were--
[Penny]
Where's Daddy?
He just left.
Didn't he get our wire?
Yes, but... he had an
engagement for lunch. With her?
Then you know?
That's why we came.
I see. [Joan] What's
she like, Binns?
Well, she's-- Yes, she is--
Yes, she is!
Hello, Precious.
Hello, dear.
Hungry?
No, not very.
I've already ordered everything
that you like. Thanks, darling.
Tell me. What is the big
news? Oh, that can wait.
I don't like mysteries.
Tell me now.
How old do you think I am?
Oh, well, now let me see.
I should say about 35.
[Chuckling]
Dear, please tell me.
Well, uh-- You know I've been
married before. Yes, I knew that.
My first marriage
had some consequences.
Consequences?
Darling, you mean a child?
How nice! I'm afraid
there's more than one.
You mean two?
Well, uh--
How charming. Where
are they? I adore children.
They only arrived in New York
this morning... all three of them.
Uh... three? Oh.
Are they like you, dear?
Well, not exactly.
They're girls.
Girls.
Three girls.
How charming.
Here they are.
Oh, how adorable! What
chubby knees this one's got.
Of course, they're a
little older now. They are?
But they won't bother us.
I've sent them to Newport.
There he is... over there.
Where?
Are you sure?
In the gray suit.
Daddy! Daddy!
[Indistinct Chattering]
My goodness,
this is a surprise.
Why weren't you
at the boat?
Uh, I-- Precious, Miss Lyons,
these are my daughters.
They sort of grew up
while I wasn't looking.
This is Joan.
No, I'm Kay.
This must be Joan.
Yes, I'm Joan.
- This is Penny.
- How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do? Oh.
Didn't Wilbur meet you
at the boat? Who's Wilbur?
Oh, he's-- Never mind. Will
the young ladies have luncheon?
Oh, I'm starved! Don't you
think you'd better go home?
Oh, Daddy, no. I've never
eaten in areal restaurant.
Could I have caviar?
It's only fish eggs. Caviar!
Just because we're away from
Mommy, you needn't start that.
Muffins and milk as usual.
I won't have anything!
All right, pigheaded,
go hungry!
They say you and I are pigheaded,
but we're just strong-minded.
Yes, of course. I told you.
We had to come and see you.
You're exactly like your pictures.
Mommy has you all over the house.
All over-- That's very
nice of her, isn't it?
Jud, don't you think-- And
that picture in the paper.
It certainly flattered
Miss Lyons,
but it didn't do
a thing for you, Daddy.
How did you know I
was here? Binns told us.
He was so glad to
see us again. Binns!
Darling, don't you think--
We ran away to come see you.
Does your mother know
where you are? We left a note.
Does she know you arrived?
I knew we forgot something.
You'd better cable her. Girls
arrived safely. Love and kisses, Jud.
I couldn't do that!
Send it yourself. You'll find
a telegraph desk in the lobby.
I'll go. Excuse me.
Tell her we've found Daddy.
He's very glad to see us-- Shh.
What do you mean, shh? I'd
better be going. Mother's waiting.
Please don't go, Precious.
Pardon me. I want to send a cable to
Mrs. Judson Craig, Belleville, Switzerland.
You'd better write it down,
miss.
There you are,
Lord Stuart.
I'm sorry to have kept you
waiting. That's all right, Hamilton.
I was delayed in traffic.
The car is outside. Yes, yes.
We'd better hurry.
We're late.
How much, please?
That'll be five dollars.
Five dollars?
But, Lord Stuart!
Hamilton,
couldn't we lunch here?
We're meeting the Secretary of
State at the club. I forgot all about it.
I'm so sorry.
We came over with Martha. You
remember Martha, don't you? That's settled.
Did you send it? It was quite
expensive. It cost us five dollars!
Now we can have lunch.
You must be hungry, Donna.
Is your name Donna?
I thought it was Precious.
If you'll excuse me, I have to do
some shopping with my mother.
I'll see you all at dinner.
Good-bye.
[Mr. Craig]
But, Donna, your lunch.
Donna,
they're only children.
She couldn't take it.
Mmm, chicken livers.
Muffins and milk!
That's no food for fighters!
Well, darling?
Congratulations. You're
going to be a grandmother.
What?
Jud's three daughters arrived
from Europe this morning.
They walked right into the Carlton
screaming Daddy at the top of their lungs.
Oh. I was never so
embarrassed in all my life.
- What did you do?
- What did I do? I left.
I shall never let you alone with him
again. You always do something foolish.
What would you expect me
to do, kiss them?
What would I expect?
Three girls arrive from Europe, obviously
to make trouble, and you run away from them.
You should've stayed, won
them over, talked nicely to them.
You should have said--
Oh, what adorable children!
So nice to have them with you. Donna told
me about your lovely meeting at the Carlton.
So gay, so full of spirit!
I've always said children
make life worth the living.
To think they came all the way
across the ocean Just to see you.
Such devotion.
It's really very touching.
And what lovely frocks.
Paris, of course!
The French have such exquisite
taste. Mommy has exquisite taste.
You should see Mommy's clothes. Everybody
says Mommy's the best-dressed woman in Europe.
I'm sure she's a very
charming woman. Oh, yes.
Excuse me, Mr. Craig, but it's
time Miss Penny went to bed.
I think it's high time Miss Penny
went to bed. No, Daddy, please.
I'm having such fun. Come,
come. Be a good girl and go to bed.
Oh, very well.
All right!
[Mumbling]
Huh?
Nothing. Good night,
Daddy. Good night.
Night. Good night,
you dear, sweet girl. Oh!
I'm so sorry. I beg
your pardon. Penny!
But, Daddy, I just--
Good night.
Good night, everyone.
[Craig] Such a clumsy child!
[Mrs. Lyons] It's quite all right.
She's only a baby. Donna
was always spilling things.
I thought she'd never learn. Now look
at the dear girl, engaged to be married.
Mother dear. I beg your
pardon, sir. Coffee is served,
Come, children. Daddy,
we've got so much to tell you.
Donna has a lovely surprise for you.
Tell him, dear.
It's only a song.
It's that song you like so much--
Nobody Cares For Me. No,
Mother, Somebody Cares For Me.
[Mrs. Lyons] Oh, I am so stupid.
1 always get things mixed up.
[Sighs] Binns, you took the
words right out of my mouth.
The trouble with Daddy is he
doesn't know anything about women.
And when you think
what a lovely woman Mommy is.
That Precious is just--
Oh, go to sleep.
Oh, very well.
[Piano]
[Donna] Will I discover
I was afraid of that.
Someone to care for me
Who'll never scold me
[Whispering] Some savage
tribes put honey all over people...
and let the ants devour them.
It's too hard
to get enough ants.
Will someone ever sing me
A love song while we dance
Will the music bring me
Romance
I read about a man that invented a ray that
positively shrivels people at 200 yards.
Where is he?
In Sweden, I think.
Oh.
Poor Dad. Look at him.
She's got him all wrapped up
and tied with a ribbon.
And I bet she'd drop him like a hot potato
if a man with more money came along.
You said it, sister.
And will that someone
Be all I dreamed
My love would be
Are you the three girls
from Europe?
Where's the third one?
[Banging, Scraping]
[Banging Continues]
That's her.
Ah, an acrobat.
Me
[Loud Banging]
She missed the net.
Be all I dreamed my--
Excuse me, please.
Good evening.
Now, what's all this
racket about?
Daddy, where did you
get that bed? That bed?
That bed's a Louis XV.
That's 200 years old.
Well, no wonder! Would you mind
telling me why you're moving the furniture?
Martha snores so,
I can't sleep beside her.
You couldn't either.
Nobody could.
So, I moved in here.
Do you realize that I have guests downstairs,
that Miss Lyons is trying to sing?
I thought the ceiling
would come down!
Oh, why didn't you stop her?
Penny, you've got
to keep quiet!
This is no time of night to
move beds. Daddy, come here.
[Snoring]
Now listen to that.
[Snoring]
Mm-hmm.
See?
Close the door
and go to bed.
In that bed? Come
on. I'll help you fix it.
[Slapping]
Daddy,
please don't do that.
You mustn't do that! [Mr.
Craig] Will you be quiet?
Please, Daddy, don't!
Daddy, please! Stop it, please.
That's the wrong end. That
should be there and that there.
It won't hold together.
It's all no good.
It'll hold together.
It's fixed now.
See?
[Laughing]
Ah, Daddy,
you're so funny!
Look. Look.
Come on, Martha.
Help me with this.
Daddy doesn't know a thing
about fixing beds.
[Laughing]
The funniest kid.
[Chuckling]
[Coughs]
Oh, I'm sorry.
I, uh I'm sorry.
Penny just collapsed
w-w-with that old--
That old Louis XV.
I had a terrible time
putting them together again.
The poor child can't sleep.
She snores too much.
She snores. What on
earth are you talking about?
You didn't spank Penny,
did you? No, of course not.
Judson, I want to speak to
you privately. Yes, certainly.
Come, Donna.
[Bill]
Just a minute, J.C.
I've got to talk to you
about that Philadelphia deal.
Not just at the moment,
young man!
There, see? And you
stand around doing nothing.
Get into action! Do
something! What about you?
I've got nothing to worry about.
It's you they're gunning for.
They may have you completely
surrounded by sunrise.
Really? What shall we do? Yes!
Let's go see Penny.
Oh, what can Penny do?
What can Penny do? Who spilled
the wine on the pelican's dress?
Who moved the furniture around? Whose idea
was it to come here in the first place?
I'm doing all the hard work.
What can Penny do?
[Bill] Hello. Hello.
- Who are you?
- Bill Evans. I manage your father's investments.
Investments? Is that all you can
manage? What about this situation?
Hal That wasn't a bad idea
you had a while ago. Which one?
If someone came along with more
money, she'd drop J.C. like a hot potato.
- Yes, if.
- I think I know just the right man.
Who is he? A Hungarian, a real
count. She'd fall for him in no time.
Not her. She knows
Dad's a good thing.
Let's go upstairs. I don't want
to see those two faces again.
Why shouldn't we try it?
I think it's a grand idea.
I'll look him up in
the morning. Good!
Don't cry, Precious.
I'll do anything you say,
but please don't cry.
You will send them away,
won't you? They just got here.
If they stay they'll spoil
everything between us.
You must send them back
immediately!
I, I- All right,
I'll send them back.
Now you're talking sense.
Come along. We must get home.
She looks so pale.
I'll see you home.
No, Judson. It's your duty
to speak to the girls tonight.
But I could tell them tomorrow.
Tonight, dear.
Very well, Precious.
You won't weaken,
Judson? No, I won't weaken.
Promise, dear?
I promise.
Everything is settled. I knew it
would all turn out for the best.
Oh, Bill.
Will you see the ladies
home, please?
Okay.
Stop biting your nails.
sorry.
I don't see what
we have to worry about.
They can't do anything to us.
They can turn Dad against us.
Alienation of affections.
What's that?
It's when somebody--
well, they, uh--
Yes. Oh, I see. Then
we could sue them.
What good would that do Mommy
after they've got him roped and married?
Do you think we can depend
on this Bill person?
I'm sure we can.
He has nice eyes.
Oh, mush!
Hello, Daddy!
[Joan] Hello, Daddy.
[Kay]
Hello, Dad.
Hello, girls.
Sit on my bed, Daddy.
Martha fixed it. Sit down.
You should've seen Daddy
when the bed went down.
I didn't know it was so much fun to have a
father around. You haven't changed a bit.
Remember the time Penny swallowed the
button and you and Mommy were so excited?
And I fell off the pony
and cut my head?
Look, Daddy.
You can still see the scar.
Mmm.
Well, girls,
Donna-- Miss Lyon--
She has a charming voice.
Yes, hasn't she?
She flats a little on a
high note. Yes, doesn't--
What do you mean, flats?
She has a bad tremolo.
She sings like this:
Aah
The correct way is:
Ahh
well, where did you
learn to sing?
[Joan] Penny's been
studying for the last two years.
Didn't Mother write?
No, not that I know of.
Madam Borelli says she's going
to be a great singer someday.
I know the song Miss Lyons was
singing. Would you like to hear it?
Well, I didn't come up here
to hear--
You sit right down and listen.
Will I discover
Someone to care for me
Who'll never scold me
Just hold me tenderly
Will someone ever sing me
A love song while we dance
Will the music bring me
Romance
Will there be someone
Whenever skies are gray
Who'll kiss my lonely tears away
And will that someone
Be all I dreamed
My love would be
Someone to care
For me
Bluebird
you sing of happiness
Swinging in a blossom-laden tree
But tell me, bluebird
Will there be happiness
For me
Will I discover
Someone to care for me
Who'll never scold me
Just hold me tenderly
Will someone ever sing me
A love song while we dance
Will the music bring me
Romance
Will there be someone
Whenever skies are gray
TO Kiss my lonely tears
Away
And will that someone
Be all I dreamed
My love would be
Someone to care
For
Me
Tuck me in, Daddy.
Will you?
Good night, Daddy.
Children, there's something
that I must tell you.
Yes, Daddy.
I, uh--
Good night.
Pleasant dreams.
[Wilbur]
Mr. Craig.
I'm sorry, sir.
I waited for all the boats.
The children evidently
didn't arrive today.
You're fired!
But--
[Door Slams]
Isn't this a beautiful day?
The sun...
and the fresh air.
Jud, dear, you haven't answered
my question. Oh, yes, the que--
Darling,
they only arrived yesterday.
I've got to let them stay
a few days.
But you promised me.
No, I didn't prom-- Did I?
Judson, didn't you
tell the children?
Mother, it's quite all
right. They're so young.
I'd like them to have some
fun before they go back,
something pleasant to
remember. I can't understand you!
I think you're
quite right.
Let's take the children out
this evening.
Precious darling, that's
just like you. Oh, sweetie.
Will you make up
your mind?
Hey, Count, wake up.
Hey, Count, wake up!
[Mumbling]
Hey, Count, wake up.
[Sighs]
Ah!
Come on, sober up!
[Mumbling]
Sit down over here.
Oh, Bill. Hello, Bill.
Come on, wake up.
I want to talk to you.
Talk to me?
Bring me a glass of water.
Water?
How are you?
Since when
do you drink water?
Me? Water?
Ah. Thank you.
Listen, sponge, how would you like to
make a little honest money for a change?
Honest money?
No. Och.
You won't have to work. All you'll
have to do is make love to a girl.
Send her right over.
Listen, this is important.
I'll give you anything you want.
I want to go back to Budapest.
If you'll help me out, I'll pay
your way back to Budapest.
You will, Bill?
Oh, Budapest! Ja!
Whee!
Yah!
Whee!
[Bill]
Hello, girls.
[Shouting]
Hello, girls!
Bill!
Hello.
Everything's all fixed.
Oh, really?
[Chattering]
Wait a minute. One at
a time. what's he like?
He's young.
Is he good looking?
Women cry for him.
And rich?
Hasn't got a dime, drinks
like a sponge and hates work.
I knew we couldn't
depend on him. But, Bill--
If we sober him up, give him
ready cash, throw him to the Lyons...
and introduce him as one of the richest men in
Europe, your father wouldn't stand a chance.
This mug is a bona fide count.
If she thinks he's got money--
What about the money?
Don't worry, I've got some.
You're grand.
What's his name?
Now you've got me. I've known him a
couple of years and I never can think--
Count Cheknek Valvashy Arisztid.
Huh?
That's his name.
Count Chek--"
You better keep it.
You'll need it when you introduce
him. When can we introduce him?
The next time we're all together
with the Lyons-- Hello, children.
Daddy!
Hello, J.C.
Doesn't Daddy look too cute
in riding britches?
- Girls, how would you like to go to the Jungle Club tonight?
- Dad, that's grand.
Will Miss Lyons be there?
Of course.
That's exactly the place for us
to... dance. May Bill come too?
He'll have to go
to Philadelphia.
Today? You said it
was urgent, didn't you?
Couldn't I
go down tomorrow?
That deal's been hanging fire
long enough. Get the next train.
I'll have to run then.
I'll see Bill out.
In case you need advice,
call me.
I wonder what
I'll wear tonight.
Penny, darling, you're too young
to go to a nightclub.
Oh, Daddy, no!
I'll take you to the zoo
tomorrow. To the zoo?
I see enough monkeys
around here. What's this?
I said it'd be lovely to
see the monkeys. Yeah?
Don't worry, he'll be there.
How will we know him?
I'll tell him to wear a white
carnation. That's not enough.
Wait a minute!
I've got it!
Have him carry this
under his arm like this.
Then we'll surely know him.
Bright girl.
Say he's an old friend from the
Riviera, one of the richest men in Europe.
I'll give him cash and
instructions. You're wonderful.
Hold that thought till I get
back. You won't stay long?
Until tomorrow. I'll call the minute I
get in. I've got to sober up the count.
Good-bye, Bill.
Good luck.
[Orchestra]
No magazine yet.
Having a good time,
children?
Yes, Dad.
Yes, Dad.
Would you like to dance,
dear? I'd love to, darling.
Uh...
have you any
nonalcoholic beverages?
Certainly, sir.
You have?
Whiskey straight, please.
Huh? Very good, sir.
My check, please.
Yes, sir.
Yetchi!
Arisztid!
- Where have you been?
- I'm going back to Budapest!
I'm going to Budapest!
Your check, sir.
If it isn't that nice Count
what's-his-name we met on the Riviera!
I must speak to him!
Are all the nightclubs
as dull as this one?
It's a little early yet.
Things will liven up later.
Why, how do you do?
You're late. I thought you'd
never get here. How do you do?
Wait a minute, please. I--
Joan is here and you must meet Father!
Have you got money?
I beg your pardon?
Money? I'll give you
more later if you need it.
Don't forget, we met you
on the Riviera.
When you see Joan, tell her
how much she looks like Mother.
That'll prove you know us.
Joan is the one in the black dress.
Has he money? He's one
of the richest men in Europe.
Where'd you meet him?
On the Riviera last year.
Are you sure you're sober? What?
Joan, you remember
Count-- Count--
Michael Stuart.
That's much simpler.
It's so nice to see you again.
It is nice, isn't it?
I'm Mrs. Lyons.
Really? How do you do?
How do you do?
Mother?
What? Oh, yes.
My, you do resemble
your mother.
How is the dear lady?
Quite well, thank you.
Daddy, I want you to meet Count
Michael Stuart. We met him on the Riviera.
How do you do? Mrs. Lyon.
How do you do?
I've already met the count.
This is my daughter. Charmed.
Will you join us?
With pleasure, thank you.
[Whispering]
[Kay] Sit over here.
Wasn't there a Lord Stuart connected
with the Colonial Bank of Australia?
Yes, my late father. I took
over the bank two years ago.
Don't put it on too thick. [Mrs.
Lyons] Were you the only son?
Yes, Mrs. Lyons, yes.
Nice music, isn't it?
Would you care to dance?
Come on, do!
Excuse us, please.
You should've asked her.
I much prefer you.
Judson, are they very rich?
They own practically
half of Australia.
Half of Australia? That's
mostly bush, isn't it?
Didn't Bill tell you?
Bill? Oh, yes.
But I'm afraid I was awfully--
You should stop drinking.
I promise you I'll never touch
another drop. Tell me what to do.
Keep pretending you're terribly
rich and get her away from Dad.
Who? Mrs. Lyons?
Miss Lyons!
She's after Dad's money, and we
want him to go back to our mother.
Be careful. She might
think you like me. But I do.
But you're being paid
to like her. Oh, of course.
You must keep reminding me. I'm
awfully absentminded. It's the alcohol.
You'd better dance with her
next time and begin--
Begin what?
Being nice to her.
Won't that make your
father jealous? Be subtle.
Make an appointment
with her tomorrow for lunch.
And then what? Pretend you're in
love with her and get her away from Dad.
What am I to do
when I get her?
You won't have to do anything when
she finds out you have no money,
you're a good-looking drunkard
and you won't work.
May I have this dance,
Miss Lyons?
I'd be delighted.
Thank you.
Excuse me, Jud, dear.
He's very young to be the
head of a bank. Is he married?
Hmm, what?
Wha-- What?
Is he married? Do you know anything about
the family? Why are you so interested?
After all, he's been dancing
with your daughter.
He's dancing with
your daughter now, isn't he?
As a matter of fact,
he is, isn't he?
What's the matter?
Oh, nothing.
Why are you
staring at me like that?
I'm finding out a few things.
Are you a mind reader?
Yes, it's a hobby of mine.
Can you tell me what
I'm thinking about? Yes.
Well, tell me.
I wouldn't dare.
Please do.
You're thinking this is a very forward and
presumptuous young man who dances badly.
No, you're wrong.
Thank you.
Have you any other hobbies?
Numerology.
Know anything
about numbers?
Then concentrate.
Mm-hmm.
Seven, two, four, three, six.
Repeat that.
Seven, two, four, three, six.
Sounds like a telephone
number. It is... mine. Plaza.
Will you call me in the
morning? Don't be ridiculous!
Oh, I'm sorry.
[Mouthing Numbers]
Did you say Plaza?
Yes.
He's overdoing it. He's
not bad for a drunkard.
[Mrs. Lyons] You dance
beautifully together. Thank you.
Let's dance again.
Pardon me.
I'll have this one.
How am I doing?
Splendid. Keep it up.
Dear Count, tell me all about yourself.
It must be exciting in Australia.
1 hear they do nothing
but have cocktail parties-
I thought it was Hungary. What's
the difference? He's doing great.
We raise pygmies, madam.
Pygmies?
Oh, yes, pygmies. How odd.
Do you know Lord and Lady Landerbar in
London? They're dear friends of Donna's.
Oh, yes, quite well. He has
a face like a trout and she--
Frankly, I think she looks
like a prow of a Chinese junk.
You say the most
amusing things, Count.
Family trait: a ready wit and
complete lack of character.
We drink, you know.
[Mrs. Lyons]
Oh, how amusing. You drink!
[Chuckling]
Yes, of course, you drink.
A funny thing,
these family traits.
The Stuarts drink
and the Craigs like to kick people.
Tell me, what do
the Lyonses do, madam?
The Lyons roar!
[Chortling]
I resign.
Please, don't.
Please, here, take it.
To your funny, little nose.
To Budapest.
To Budapest.
Come on, let's go.
They're waiting for us.
Two girls, both lovely
girls. Wait a minute.
I have work to do.
Work? Work?
Uh, excuse me.
All right, let's go.
Stevens, I've decided I
like New York. Yes, sir.
I even like my coffee
this morning. Tea, sir.
Oh, yes, so it is.
Don't be alarmed if I seem
a little absent-minded these days.
No, sir. I mean, yes, sir.
[Phone Ringing]
I'll get it. I'll get it!
Hello. Yes, I'm in.
Oh, good morning.
I got your flowers.
Of course I like them.
But I don't see any sense throwing
away our money on flowers for me.
It's only fair:
your money, your flowers.
Did you send flowers
to Miss Lyons?
Yes, I did. She called
me up a few minutes ago.
I'm lunching with her
at the Bristol at 1:00.
That's fine.
Report to us later. Good-bye.
Wait a minute. Ahem.
I'll need some money for the bill.
Very well.
I'll send it over.
No, don't send it.
Bring it yourself.
You see, I don't know quite what to do.
I need some instruction.
Very well,
I'll-- I'll be right over.
Now what is it? He wants
instructions and more money.
[Penny]
More money?
The man is a vile scoundrel,
a cad and a bounder...
who fleeces
unsuspecting women.
Uh-oh. She's been reading
those magazines again.
Look under her pillow.
Kay, get away from there!
Give me that magazine!
Give it to me! Give it to me!
This isn't helping us
with our problem.
We need more money, and
Bill's in Philadelphia. [Knocking]
Come in. Good
morning, young ladies.
Your breakfast is ready.
I can't stop for any, Binns. I've got to go right away!
We need more money, and
Mr. Evans is in Philadelphia.
May I ask what you need
the money for? It's a long story.
It's about that Precious situation.
We figured out-- I understand.
Is this the best you have?
Yes, sir, $7,000.
I don't have to tell you it's
set in platinum. It's a gem!
The color of this
stone is-- I'll take it.
Thank you. Miss Kay
Craig's in the lobby, sir.
Show her up
and please stay out.
Would you mind waiting in the other
room a few minutes? Certainly not.
Oh, here.
Thank you.
[Doorbell Buzzing]
Good morning.
Good morning.
Come in.
Oh! This must be
quite expensive!
How much are we paying
for it? Sixty dollars a day.
Sixty dollars a day! No,
no, a week! I'm so sorry.
I must make
a good impression.
It wouldn't do at all to spoil things by
economizing after such a good start, would it?
No.
What did Miss Lyons
say to you on the phone?
She said I was very charming and
she'd be delighted to have lunch with me.
What did you say?
A lot of things.
She's very lovely
and so intelligent...
and beautiful and charming.
I like this job.
Well, here's your money,
and don't spend it all for lunch.
It's Binns's wages.
Who's Binns?
Our butler. He loaned
us this money to pay you.
[Stuart]
That's very nice of him.
You have to be careful.
Oh, yes, very careful.
[Stuart] Uh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Hmph!
Where are you going?
You have a lot of nerve
picking out a $7,000 ring!
Cigarette?
Haven't you any conscience?
Conscience about what?
You were just about to
cheat that poor man! Oh, no!
I wouldn't cheat anybody. I just
wanted to buy a little gift... for you.
For me?
Yes.
Do you think I'd accept a
$7,000 ring that wasn't paid for?
I would have paid for it, on terms, you
know-- a dollar down, a dollar 2 week.
For 7,000 weeks?
Yes. That is rather
along time, isn't it?
Can't you stop drinking?
It's awfully difficult, really.
You see,
I need a good influence,
someone to keep my mind off it.
Oh, I see.
There's no telling when
the urge may come over me.
There's still a couple of hours
till my luncheon appointment.
Could you keep an eye on me, go
for a walk in the fresh air? No, I ca
Do you think it would
help you? Infinitely.
Do you like New York?
I love it.
I'd like to live here always.
Wouldn't you?
We might after we're
married. After who's married?
Miss Lyons and I.
Isn't it amazing?
But-- Not an empty
bench in the whole park.
You're not going to marry her,
are you? I may have to if she insists.
I'll do anything
to save your father.
Would that be fair to go that far
without telling her who you really are?
There's a remote possibility
she might love me for myself.
Not that woman!
Do you think any woman
could love me for myself?
Maybe if you'd settle down and
went to work. Could you, Kay?
No. No, I couldn't.
You're an adventurer, a drunkard
and you won't work. Is that all?
You take money for
making love to other women.
And there's no hope?
Oh, what are you doing?
From now on,
I'll drink twice as much.
Give me that key.
No! No!
When a man's unhappy,
he has to drink.
Come on.
Come on, get up!
What's the matter?
Your hour's up.
On your way!
It's getting so a guy
can't flop around here anymore.
I'm goin' home.
Oh, thank you.
[Sighs]
I'm so glad he didn't arrest you...
because we need
you on the job. Oh.
Wouldn't you have been
sorry for me behind bars?
What time is it?
Quarter past 12:00.
Plenty of time left
for my luncheon appointment.
Waiter?
Yes, madame?
This is the Bristol,
isn't it? Yes, madame.
Are you quite sure? Yes,
madame. I've been here 11 years.
Almost as long as I have.
Yes, madame.
[Phone Ringing]
Hello.
Oh, it's you, Judson.
No, she isn't feeling very well.
No, I, I, I can't have her
come to the telephone now.
You see, she's asleep.
- I better send my doctor.
- You mustn't worry, Judson. It isn't bad, really.
Very well. I'll call later.
Oh, where were we?
Regarding your suggestion that
we establish another office in Cuba--"
Another office in Cuba.
We're sending a representative
to look over the territory.
Perhaps
I'd better go myself.
- To Cuba?
- Yes. I'll be back in half an hour.
But, Mr. Craig
Hello, J.C. Everything's settled in
Philadelphia-- I'm sorry, I must hurry.
I have an important--
Cuba isn't feeling very well.
I'll be back later.
Mr. Evans, I think there must be
something wrong with Mr. Craig.
You think? I know there
is! Anything for me? Yes, sir.
There's a gentleman waiting in
the reception room to see you.
A Mr. Chek-- Chek--
Yes, show him in.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Chik-- Chek--
You, come in.
Hello.
Hello there, Count.
Nice work last night. Sit down.
[Intercom Buzzing]
What is it? [Woman] Shall
I come in now, Mr. Evans?
Come in in about five minutes
and bring the mail.
Well, Bill, I, uh-- the girls--
I called the girls from the station this
morning. They said everything was going great.
I'm proud of you, my boy.
Honestly, I didn't give you credit
for having brains.
You'll have to excuse me, but you're doing
splendidly. Keep me posted, won't you?
Yes, of course.
Uh, how about
a little more cash, Bill?
- Spend all I gave you?
- A woman like that is pretty expensive.
- Well, how much?
- Uh, 500.
Five hundred!
You must understand,
flowers, champagne--
What is your name again?
Count Arisztid Cheknek Valvashy.
How do you spell it?
Uh, it's, uh--
Better make it for cash.
How do you do, Mr. Craig?
How is she?
Oh, I wasn't expecting you.
Is she still asleep?
Well, no, she isn't.
Has the doctor been here?
I told you it wasn't serious.
Can't I see her? No. As a
matter of fact, she isn't in.
I want she isn't in?
No!
Where is she?
I thought it'd be a good idea
if she'd take a walk.
Oh.
How perfectly beautiful! I'll
put them in a vase of water.
Oh, Judson,
they're really so lovely!
Where did these come from?
Judson!
Donna's a very attractive girl. It's
not her fault if men fall in love with her.
She has to have some freedom.
She's not formally engaged to you.
I shouldn't be surprised if Donna
decided not to marry you at all, so there!
But I, I--
Mother!
What are you saying?
Jud, darling, I've been waiting
at the Carlton for you.
Where were you? Donna,
don't you want to marry me?
Of course, darling.
I'd marry you tomorrow.
I thought you wanted to wait
until the girls went back.
Forget about the girls. We can go to
Atlantic City in the morning and be married.
Darling, how wonderful!
Excuse me a moment,
will you, dear?
You'll pardon me, please.
What about the Australian
bushman? He never showed up!
Oh, Jud, I'm so pleased!
I shall telephone Atlantic City
and make all the arrangements.
Marrying Judson Craig?
Yes, indeed.
Tomorrow at 2:00
in Atlantic City.
2:00.
Oh, that's splendid!
We'll send a photographer.
That'll be fine.
Thank you very much.
Congratulations, Mrs. Lyons.
If this is what love does to people,
I'm glad I'm an old maid.
Did you see it?
Yes, we know.
That isn't all. Mommy's
arriving in a few days. It's terrible!
I can't understand it. I thought
everything was going great.
The count had lunch-- No, he
didn't. He was in the park with Kay.
He was what? They were
in the park romancing.
He missed that luncheon
with Precious?
Exactly!
And it's all Kay's fault!
I didn't know what time it
was. He set his watch back. Oh.
Why were you out with him
in the first place?
I had to give him money to
pay the luncheon check. You--
Wait a minute. You gave
him money too? Of course.
I'll be back.
Well, that's settled.
What's settled?
Where have you been?
I just had $500 worth of fun.
Look at you.
What happened?
Not much. I just bounced
a chair off the count's head.
I'm sorry to say, the chair broke.
Same thing happened with the table.
I clipped him faintly on the chin
and he went through a mirror.
I threw what was left of him in the
bathtub and turned on the cold shower.
He's probably sober by this time,
that drunken crook!
If he'd been twins, I'd have had
twice as much fun. Where's Kay?
I don't know.
Bill, your face.
It's just a scratch.
Does it hurt?
That ought to teach him not to try any
more chiseling, that good-for-nothing--
Bill, what are we
going to do about Dad?
The wedding's tomorrow,
Mommy's coming-- I know.
If I thought I stood half a chance,
I'd go after that Lyons girl myself.
Bill Evans, you'll do
no such thing. Why not?
Oh.
Why, Joan!
Go ahead and kiss her. I can stand
anything after all I've been through!
What day is today?
Wednesday, sir.
Are you sure?
Quite sure, sir.
Have you noticed me getting more
absent-minded lately? I certainly have, sir.
You know what happened
today, Stevens? No, sir.
I tipped a lamppost and
struck a match on the doorman.
You don't say so, sir.
That's bad, isn't it?
That's pretty bad, sir.
[Doorbell Buzzing]
Excuse me, sir.
[Gasping]
Hello.
Oh--
Oh.
What's the matter?
Aren't you hurt?
Hurt?
Didn't a chair hit you?
What chair? No!
Here!
Didn't he beat you up?
Who?
He! Bill Evans!
Tell me, who is Bill Evans?
Who are you?
I'm Michael Stuart,
don't you remember?
It can't be true. My
parents seem to think so.
Stevens!
Yes, sir.
Stevens, who am I?
Speak up.
Who am I?
Don't you remember, sir?
You're Michael Edward Albert
George Percival,
viscount,
the honorable Lord Stuart.
Thank you, Stevens.
Yes, sir.
Then you're not a drunkard?
No.
And you don't need any money?
Not exactly.
Then you lied and tricked us
when you honestly meant to help us?
But, Kay, listen to me.
Dad's getting married tomorrow and it's all your
fault because you didn't do as you promised.
I hate you!
[Sobbing]
[Door Slams]
Stevens.
Yes, sir.
Get me the Dorsay, Miss
Donna Lyons. Very well, sir.
What? The Ritz?
You said the Bristol.
I waited there until 2:00.
What's happened?
I'm still waiting... at the Ritz!
I'm sure you said the Bristol.
Must you sail? You're
getting married, aren't you?
Does that matter to you? Here are
three cabins on the Queen Elizabeth.
Two for you.
For me?
One for your mother, one for
yourself, in case you change your mind.
That's impossible. Nothing's
impossible. Where shall we dine?
You'd better take me home. I have
an awful lot to do. Just as you say.
Charles, the Dorsay.
Here are your tickets.
No, keep them...
and think it over.
Are you always so
impetuous? Just determined.
You see, my whole happiness
depends on this.
What are those? Two cabins
on the Queen Elizabeth.
Michael Stuart wants us to sail
with him tomorrow. What did you say?
I didn't commit myself.
I said I'd think it over.
Did he propose?
Practically. Said his happiness
depended on our going.
You're going to marry Judson
tomorrow. You can always go to Australia.
Besides, Jud isn't as young
as he tries to be.
Who knows how soon
you'll be a widow.
Believe me, Donna, 10 million at
the altar is worth 20 million in the bush.
That's right.
And who asked you?
Yes'm.
That means he has loads
of money. Suppose he has.
He let us down just when
we were depending on him.
Why didn't you tell him to go
after her? Don't talk about him!
I detest him!
Oh, yes, you detest him.
You're so in love with him you're willing
to let Mommy down because you're afraid...
Precious might take him
away from you.
A fine pill you are!
You should talk.
You told Bill he shouldn't
dare go near Precious. When?
This afternoon when he offered
to go after her himself.
So, I'm the pill!
You're both
a couple of pills!
Mommy's going to arrive
and find Dad married.
[All Sobbing]
Penny!
What is it?
Nothing, Daddy.
I-- I just wanted to see you
once again, that's all.
Uh, I'm sorry
I woke you up.
Penny, come here.
What do you mean?
Daddy, are you really
getting married tomorrow?
Yes.
Do you love Miss Lyons?
Of course.
More than us?
Oh, Penny, it's different.
I just wanted to be sure,
that's all.
Be a good little girl
and go to bed.
We'll talk it over tomorrow.
I won't be here tomorrow.
Don't talk nonsense!
Of course you will.
I'm going away.
Back to your mother?
Where are you going,
Penny?
Just away.
I can't bear to see Mommy unhappy.
When she saw your picture
with Miss Lyons, she cried.
That's why we came.
It'll be worse if you get married.
I can't bear it. I can't!
I better go now.
No. No, you'd better
sleep on the couch in here.
Then we'll have a nice,
long talk in the morning.
Come, darling.
Calm down.
Lie down here, sweet,
and get some sleep.
Your daddy'll
tuck you in there.
There, how's that?
What are those for?
I wear them to keep me from
biting my nails when I'm worried.
Don't worry anymore, darling.
I can't help it.
Good night, baby.
Good night, Daddy.
Penny?
Penny!
Where is Penny?
Penny? I don't know.
Penny! Penny!
Martha!
What is it?
Penny in there?
Penny? No, why?
Penny's gone!
What?
Penny's gone?
Penny!
Miss Penny!
Miss Penny!
Penny!
Miss Penny!
Miss Penny!
Broadcast at once and call us.
Okay, Commissioner.
[Phone Ringing]
Hello. You did, eh?
No sign? Thank you.
Superintendent searched the
building and couldn't find her.
Mr. Craig, please find her.
Please!
My Penny!
What shall I say to Mrs. Craig?
[Penny] Let me go! I think we
found the Craig girl. Come on in.
Let me go! I'm not the
Craig girl! Calm down.
I don't want to!
I'm not the Craig girl.
You're not, eh?
No!
Then who are you?
I don't remember.
Oh, tsk, tsk, tsk.
That's too bad.
Why did you run away from home?
I didn't run away from home...
and I won't answer
any more questions, so there!
Well, it's all right with us.
Get me Judson Craig on the
phone, please. No, please, don't!
I remember.
I'm--I'm Lida Borelli.
Yes, Lida Borelli.
I just arrived from Paris.
Lida Borelli, eh?
Well, what are you
doing over here?
Uh, I'm an opera singer.
I'm going to sing in
the Metropolitan Opera House.
The Metropolitan, eh?
Well!
You don't believe me?
Well, listen.

Mann:
[Applauding]
All right, boys.
That's enough.
Now take her home
to Judson Craig.
Oh, no, please.
Please don't take me home.
Let me stay here, please!
Don't take me home.
Let me stay here.
I'll tell you why I ran away,
but please don't take me home.
Wait a minute, boys.
Now tell me, why don't you
want to go home to your father?
He's worried sick about you.
Yes, I know.
But there's a real reason why I
mustn't go home yet. Tell me, what is it?
Well, I came over
from Europe to-- because--
[Doorbell Buzzing]
What on earth has happened?
Why aren't you dressed?
Penny's gone, disappeared.
I knew it.
Another one of her tricks!
Tricks! You talk about
tricks while my baby-- Ah!
Do you realize that you're
marrying Donna today? No, not today.
Are you going to let that awful
child interfere? Who's awful?
Penny is the nicest kid.
It's your fault she's gone.
My fault? I'm asking you if you're
going to marry my daughter today.
I said not today.
I say today or never!
All right then, never!
- I thought you were a gentleman.
- I'm not a gentleman! I'm a father!
- You're an old fool!
- And you're an old... buzzard!
Oh! Give him back his ring!
Come!
And you needn't think
you've broken Donna's heart.
I've got far better plans for her. We're
sailing for Europe with Michael Stuart.
[Door Slams]
Oh.
[Sobbing]
[Horn Blowing]
Thank goodness we made it.
Where shall I put them,
madam? Just over there, please.
Anything else, madam?
That'll be all, thank you.
How lovely!
That's very thoughtful, isn't it?
He's such a gentleman.
The British have lovely manners.
My dear, everything
turns out for the best.
Why don't you do your face over
and put on that pretty green frock?
It's so becoming
Don't you think so, dear?
Donna, what's the matter?
I'm afraid we're going to be
very lonesome, Mother dear.
Dear Miss Lyons,
I forgot to mention that my ticket
was for the Queen Elizabeth...
next voyage.
So sorry. M.S.
Now you have made
a mess of things!
I have?
You mean you have!
You're always getting your engagements
mixed up. You called off the wedding.
I? I shall stop this boat!
That's what I shall do!
Captain! Steward!
Captain, stop this boat!
Stop this boat! Somebody
stop this boat! Madame.
Can I make any assistance
for you?
Count Cheknek Valvashy
at your service.
Oh, Count. Australian?
Hungarian.
How do you do?
The countess, is she
with you? I am not married.
Oh, is that so?
Donna dear, I want you to meet
Count Chekelvisky. Cheknek Valvashy.
Yes, of course. This is
my daughter. Charmed.
Pardon my appearance,
but my airplane crashed.
Should I put the stop to the boat?
No, that won't be necessary now.
Will you do the honor
of having lunch with me?
That's very charming of you.
Thank you.
Lunch? Why, we'd be
delighted. Wonderful.
Mr. Craig?
I'm Judson Craig.
What--
Is there anything wrong?
Just a minute.
What's wrong?
Has anything happened?
Is there a, uh, Miss Donna
Lyons here? No, she isn't.
Is there a Mrs. Lyons
here? No, she's gone.
Where?
She's gone to Europe.
Is anybody getting married here today?
No, no! Tell me, where's my-- I want my--
Okay, Jack.
Okay, Penny.
- Okay!
- Penny!
My baby is back home!
You wicked girl! Why did
you run away? Don't yell at her!
I'm not yelling at her.
Oh, my darling.
- Where'd you find her?
- Out at the end of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn! What were
you doing out there?
I didn't want to come back
until after--
Have they really gone?
Who?
Precious and the pelican,
that's who.
How do you know?
There isn't anything about you
we don't know, Mr. Craig.
Penny, did you tell--
[Officer] Take it easy!
If you start bawling her out,
we got orders to take her back.
Well, of course, it--
[Mumbling]
Have you had breakfast? No, and
I'm starved! Are you hungry, boys?
I could stand
a cup of coffee.
Come on, let's have some cakes.
Come on, everybody!
Why, Kay, what is it?
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Why are you crying?
I'm not crying. I know why. She's
glad because I'm home, aren't you?
Oh, mush! [Martha]
What's the matter, Kay?
Nothing's the matter. Come,
darling. Tell your daddy.
Please don't touch me.
Oh, poor darling.
Nothing's the matter, really.
If you'll just let me alone.
Please! Let me alone!
[Sobbing]
Kay!
Whom may I announce,
please?
[Cheering]
Oh, Mommy! There she is!
Right over there!
Mommy!
Oh, Mommy!
There she is!
Wave! Wave!
There she is. Wave!
[Excited Chattering]
Mommy, look over there.
Come on.
Come on.
This is Michael Stuart.
How do you do?
And this is Bill Evans.
How do you do?
And this is my daddy.
Yes, dear, I know.
Hello, Dorothy.
Judson.
