A Date with Judy Page #5

---

- Now, now, now.

You run along home

and we'll take it up later. Come on.

But I can't go home, Father.

I have a very important day

at the drug store.

Well, then, you run on to the drug store.

Goodbye, Judy.

Goodbye.

Oh, Miss Rosita, I want to apologize.

I didn't have time...

Mr. Foster,

my profession is an honorable one.

You engaged me to teach you the rumba,

don't you?

And I do not teach in closets.

Oh, well, wait, wait. Oh, listen.

Oh, please, Miss Rosita, please.

That was my daughter

that was just in here.

And if she saw you,

that would spoil everything.

What do you mean, spoil everything?

I thought you're a respectable man.

Oh, I am, honest. Believe me, I am.

You see, I'm doing this for my family.

- It's a great big surprise.

- What surprise?

Well, next week, my wife and I

are celebrating our wedding anniversary.

For years, she's wanted me

to learn how to rumba and it's for her.

Oh, so that is it, huh? When you say

you celebrate this anniversary?

- Next week.

- Next week.

All right, I stay.

But remember, if I teach

in any more closets, I raise the price.

And with you

I'm starting from behind scratch.

Oh, that's your daughter, no?

No, my wife.

But she looks so young.

You know something?

You too would look 10 years younger,

if you did not dress so stuffy.

- Stuffy?

- Si, look at that tie here.

So tired. Throw him away.

And that tummy, that should go too.

Well, never mind.

We'll get rid of them dancing.

With a beautiful wife like this,

you better be on your toes, you know.

- She is beautiful, isn't she, huh?

- Yeah.

Now we come into the business, huh?

Let's try again. Chin up.

Waist in.

Shoulders back. Chest out.

Come now.

One, two, three, hip.

One, two, three, hip.

Watch the hip.

- One, two...

- I am, lady, I am.

Then go ahead. Do it.

One, two, three, hip.

One, two, three, hip. That's it.

One, two, three, hip. One...

That's right, Jameson.

We'll use candlelight.

Yes, miss, candlelight.

And two martinis, Jameson.

One with alcohol and one without.

Oh, but don't forget the olive.

Uh, no, miss.

After dinner,

you may build a fire in the fireplace.

I beg your pardon, miss,

but I think it's a bit warm for a fire.

Then we'll open the windows.

Yes, miss.

Oh, thank you.

After we have our demitasse,

you may take the rest of the evening off.

Oh, yes, miss. I understand.

Good evening, sir.

Oh, good evening, Miss Judy.

Hi, Jameson. Tell Miss Carol that I'm here

and that Mr. Andrews is too.

Yes, miss. Would you just wait

in the living room, please?

I beg your pardon, miss.

Mr. Andrews is here and Miss Judy.

- Judy?

- Yes, miss.

You'll have to set another place, quickly.

I don't think the pheasant

will stretch three ways.

Give Mr. Andrews the neck.

- Yes, miss.

- And you better forget about the martinis.

Yes, miss.

- Hello.

Good evening.

Judy, how wonderful to see you,

both of you.

It was so nice of you

to invite us to dinner.

I'm so glad you could come.

What's the matter? Is something wrong?

- Oh, where's Oogie?

- He won't be here for dinner.

- He won't?

- He won't?

He'll be here later.

Just because he lives here,

I don't see why he should always be here.

Dinner is served, Miss Carol.

Thank you, Jameson. Shall we?

We thank you for this food...

...and for the privilege of eating

it together and in peace. Amen.

- Telephone's ringing, Nightingale.

- It's the door, Gramps.

Doorbells, phone bells,

bells is always ringing.

And the doors and bells and everything.

Hello, Nightingale.

Lan sakes.

Oogie, how is it

you always manage to get here...

...just when everybody's eating dinner.

Oh, it's no trouble at all.

- Hello, Oogie.

- Hello, Mrs. Foster, everybody.

- Hi.

- You lose something, Oogie?

Oh, no, nothing at all.

- Will you have dinner with us, Oogie?

- Sure, thank you.

- Isn't Judy here?

- No, Judy won't be here for dinner.

- She's having dinner with your sister.

- She is?

So that's why she wanted me

to eat at the drugstore.

Yeah, she wanted me to leave

so that she could talk to Judy.

If I were at the house,

she couldn't talk to Judy...

...so therefore she asked me to leave.

See what I mean?

No, I don't see what you mean.

I'll take your word for it, though.

That must be it.

Sure, she's fixing everything up.

Yes, sir, that's it.

- Doorbell.

- Wrong again, Gramps, telephone.

If I don't pay the telephone bill,

how soon will they take it out?

Now, Melvin.

Mr. Pringle,

you're wanted on the telephone.

Oh, thanks. You see, it's just

like I told you. Excuse me.

Randolph, what language does he speak?

For 25 cents, I'll translate it.

Yeah? She is?

She did? She has?

She does? Yeah-hoo!

I'll be right home.

I take it back.

I have to have 50 cents to translate that.

Love is where you find it

Don't be blind

It's all around you everywhere

Spring love comes upon you

When it's gone, you feel despair

- Hi, Oogie. Glad to see you.

- Hi.

- Hi, Judy. Why did you stop?

- The mood's been broken.

Seems to me you're getting

awfully moody lately.

Sit down, Oogie.

Holy jeepers.

Who wants a fire on a night like this?

I find it cozy.

Very cozy.

How cozy can you get?

I don't see how I can possibly

do a radio program with him.

- He's impossible.

- What radio program?

The one Carol fixed for us to do

on your father's station.

I don't know anything about it.

I'll bet father doesn't.

He won't even let me

inside the station.

If Carol says it's all right, it's all right.

Why don't you and Oogie

run through your number.

- You could use it for the initial broadcast.

- I don't feel like it.

- She just wants to be coaxed.

- Please do, Judy, I'd like to hear it.

You would?

Well, all right, then.

Let's proceed, Oogie.

When I was just a little girl

A long, long time ago

I promised me I'd grow to be

A woman of the world

But fate plays many funny tricks

It did to me, I know

And as Jimmy Durante puts it

I've been foiled

I'm strictly on the corny side

Corny side, corny side

I'm strictly on the corny side

But the boys like me that way

I never go for city chicks

I can't mix, got no tricks

But put me with the cows and chicks

And you'll find that I'm not hay

- I'm a real hillbilly

- The gals go silly

A willy-nilly when I roll my eyes

- You're a real humdinger

- Don't you point your finger

I just do it for the exercise

We're strictly on the corny side

Corny side, corny side

We're strictly on the corny side

And the folks like us that way

I used to dream of being quite a siren

With cavaliers bedecking me with jewels

I'd have a yacht

A foreign car to drive in

But now I drive a pair of seven mules

I used to wanna be a wealthy broker

With secretaries sitting on my knee

I guess I'll wind up being just a joker

Shaking apples from an apple tree

We're strictly on the corny side

Corny side, corny side

We're strictly on the corny side

And that's the place to be

You can have the city
