on your parents' anniversary.

Oogie, "Love Is Where You Find It. "

Very well.

"Love Is Where You Find It. "

Love is where you find it

Don't be blind

It's all around you everywhere

Take it, take a chance now

For romance now

Tell a someone that you care

Spring love comes upon you

When it's gone you feel despair

Soon, though, in the moon glow

You'll find that a new love is there

Love is where you find it

Fate designed it

To be waiting everywhere

It may hide from you for a while

It may come tonight in a smile

And a plea for the new love

In the arms of a new love

Seek and you shall

Find

Love is where you find it

Don't be blind, it's all around you

Everywhere

Everywhere

Judy, isn't there something I can do

to make up with you?

Yes, Mr. Pringle...

...you may borrow

some of Jo-Jo's vitamins.

Did you like my song, Stephen?

I thought it was wonderful.

I think you're swell.

- Oh, you're magnificent. Have some punch.

- Thank you.

Judy, you didn't sing the song

that we rehearsed this afternoon.

Oh, I'm sorry, Carol.

But I had to sing a special song

for a special person.

Oh, Stephen, this is Carol Pringle.

Carol, this is Stephen.

- How do you do?

- Hello, Carol.

Judy, dear, it's time

for Mr. Cugat to arrive.

You'd better be in the door

to welcome him.

- Well, I...

- Run along. Business comes first.

I'll be right back.

Don't you go away.

Don't worry, Judy. I'll be right here.

I have a few moments to spare

if you'd care to dance.

Oh, that's very generous of you.

I don't believe I know who you are.

I'm sure you don't.

- But I know who you are.

- You do?

You're the prettiest girl in

Santa Barbara. That's obvious.

Well, thank you very much.

And you know it. That's also obvious.

That wasn't very nice, was it?

No, it wasn't. I'm sorry.

You spending the summer here?

I think most of it will be spent

at Scully's drug store.

Better come in sometime

and sample a malted milk.

I never drink malt.

And now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm in charge of the program.

Judy, won't you listen to me

for just a minute?

Please don't talk to me.

I've just renounced you.

But I don't wanna be renounced.

I want you to wear my pin.

In fact, I'm going to erase

your name from my diary.

You know, Judy, sometimes

I think you don't like me at all.

- Good evening.

- Oh, Mr. Cugat.

I thought maybe

I got in the wrong place, no?

Oh, no, this is the right place.

Come with me.

I'll introduce you around.

- There's some other old people here too.

- Oh?

Who's the young man Judy's with?

His name's Stephen Andrews.

He works at Scully's drugstore.

Nice-looking fellow.

Yes, I supposed one might say that he is.

I'm sorry my father isn't here tonight.

He promised he'd try to come.

Well, you know how businessmen are.

Sometimes it's very hard to find time

to go to a high school dance.

You always seem to find time,

Mr. Foster.

Oh, that's because I guess I'm curious.

I want to know what's going on.

I think it's very nice...

...having someone who wants

to know what's going on.

Just the opposite in our family.

My father never knows what's going on.

Of course, he's extremely busy man.

Oh, of course he is, yes.

Sometimes I wish...

Sometimes I wish he weren't so busy.

Will you excuse me?

I'm sure Ogden needs me.

Mr. Cugat, this is my mother and father,

Mr. And Mrs. Foster.

How do you do, Mr. Cugat?

Nice to meet you.

Hello, Mr. Cugat. Won't you sit down?

Thank you, I will.

My daughter, Judy,

is a great admirer of yours.

- So is her mother.

- Well, thank you, thank you.

That's a charming compliment

from two very charming ladies.

They're playing that especially for you,

Mr. Cugat.

Melvin.

Aren't you going to dance with me?

What? A man of my age get out there...

...and make a fool of himself

like those jack-in-the-boxes?

Well, you could do

a more dignified version, dear.

Dora, look, I've been a faithful husband

to you for 19 years, haven't I?

Twenty. It's our anniversary next week.

Remember, dear?

- A good provider?

- Yes.

- Satisfactory father to the children?

- Yes.

Then please don't ask me to rumba.

If you don't mind, Senor Foster...

...perhaps your wife

will do the rumba with me?

Oh, sure, go ahead and ask her.

You won't have to coax her.

Thank you, Mr. Cugat. I'd love it.

It's a shame

Mother has to dance by herself.

- Judy?

- Yes, Father?

I don't wanna hear another word

about me learning to do that rumba.

Yes, Father.

But I would like to hear who

the young man was you were dancing with.

Well, that's my dream man.

What about Oogie?

Oh, I just gave him up forever

for a little while.

- Oh, I see.

- Would you like to meet Stephen?

Well, I believe it's customary.

If you can get him away

from Mitzi there.

So that's what happens

when my back is turned.

Excuse me, Father.

Mitzi, dear, Oogie wants you.

Oh, well, tell him I'm busy right now.

Mitzi, Oogie wants you now.

Oh, thank you, Stephen.

It's just been wonderful.

I'll be right back.

You do wanna dance with me,

don't you, Stephen?

It would be a pleasure, Judy.

Where's Mrs. Foster?

Out there dancing the rumba

with Mr. Cugat.

Oh.

Kind of a vulgar dance,

don't you think?

I can't do it either.

Mrs. Foster,

you are what we call muy guapa.

- Oh. Is that good?

- Well, in my language...

...it means terrific.

- Oh.

Oh, I'd spend the rest of my life

singing for you, Stephen.

I don't think Oogie

would like that very well.

- Oogie brought this all on himself.

- All right.

But don't be too rough on him.

He's a nice guy.

Good night.

Thank you for a very nice evening.

Good night, Stephen,

and thank you for a very nice evening.

- Well, good night.

- Stephen...

...do you think a girl should let a boy

kiss her on their first date?

I most certainly do not.

- Not even...

- Not even then, Judy.

Good night...

...sweet 16.

Almost 17.

If I'd taken Judy to the dance tonight,

that malt mixer wouldn't have taken her.

And if he hadn't taken her,

she wouldn't have met him.

And I wouldn't be miserable

like I am now.

I'm sure Mr. Andrews realizes

the obvious difference in their ages.

Maybe so. But does Judy?

She even kissed him.

She did?

I've known her all my life.

She's never kissed me,

except on birthdays.

He's better looking than I am too.

Does she really mean that much to you?

Sure she does.

She's real fine.

Oh, why didn't he fall for you

instead of my girl?

You haven't any heart, that's all.

I have a heart, Oogie.

It's just that I haven't had

much chance to use it.

Like...

...neither one of us

has had much chance.

I don't have anyone to talk to.

You don't have anyone to talk to.

I guess we just have

to talk to each other.

Oh, I wish Mother were here.

Me too.

I'll take care of everything, Oogie.

Oh, no, look, Carol, I...

I said I'd take care of everything.

Good night.

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

She's going to swing so low,

they're going to have to carry me home.
