An Affair to Remember Page #7

All right,

we'll send it.

I'll have to let

you know where,

because

I'm not quite sure.

I believe that's right.

No charge?

No.

No?

No. I know,

I know, but, no.

Why, Ken!

Terry.

How are you?

What are you doing here?

How did you know I...

Uh-huh, I see. Nice

doing business with you.

Oh, forgive me, Ken.

I'm terribly late.

What time is it?

It's five minutes

to 5:
00.

Oh! Oh, it's been good

seeing you, Ken.

It's good seeing you,

too, Terry.

There's so much to

talk to you about.

I'm sorry,

but I'm in such a hurry.

Can't we go someplace

and have a cocktail?

No, I really am

in a hurry.

But I have so much

to say to you.

Why don't you

give me a call...

You can't do that,

because I'm getting marr...

You're getting married?

Yes.

Yes, I am, Ken,

and I'm very, very late.

What time did you say it

was? Four minutes to 5:00.

Well, good-bye, Ken.

Terry.

I really hope

you've found happiness

and if you're ever

in need of anything,

like someone to love you,

don't hesitate to call me.

No. No, I won't.

Good-bye, Ken.

Good-bye.

Good luck.

Shows what

a state I'm in.

I thought the Empire

State Building

was this way, and, of

course, it's that way!

I think I'll get out here,

because I'm in a hurry.

Here you are.

Keep the change.

What's the rush, lady?

I'm going to be married,

and I want you to be the

first to congratulate me.

Thank you.

Marriage is something

to rush to?

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SCREAMING)

(PEOPLE MURMURING)

MAN:
102nd floor.

(BELL TOLLING)

Going down?

No. No, thank you.

MAN:
Tower.

(SIREN WAILING)

Going down?

No, no.

And what time have you?

Ten after 5:
00.

Thank you.

(BELL TOLLING)

I know what I'm doing.

I want my own way!

(SOBBING)

Turn the boat around!

I want to turn

the boat around.

Nickie, help me

turn the boat around.

Well, you're so... You're

so much stronger than I am.

I can't do it alone.

I can't.

(SHUSHING)

I can't.

You must be quiet now.

But... But I need him!

Oh, Nickie,

I need you!

Help me! Help me!

Help me turn

the boat around.

I must... I must...

(BELL TOLLING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Going down?

Her X-rays aren't

very encouraging.

It's hard to say if

she'll ever walk again.

We won't know

for a long while.

That's...

That's bad.

I guess you've

gathered by now

I'm not the man

she was screaming about.

She was on her way

to marry him.

Does he know

of her condition?

No.

She said until you know what you

say you won't know for a while,

she'd rather

he didn't know.

She seems nice.

I think so.

She wants to see you.

Go ahead.

I'll be in shortly.

Hello, Ken.

Hello, Terry.

I told her I didn't know whether

or not she'd be with us today.

Fooled you, Father.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Ken, I told Father

McGrath about us.

He's going to find me a

job, aren't you, Father?

You'd better get

well first, Terry.

He's right.

Then I'll try and

come up with something.

Oh.

Take it easy.

Yes.

AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER)

(TERRY SINGING AN AFFAIR

TO REMEMBER IN FRENCH)

Monsieur Nicolo.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Pour Miss McKay.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Merci, Marius.

(BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH)

(CAR HORN HONKING)

(CHILDREN CHATTERING)

(INSTRUMENTS TUNING)

(INSTRUMENTS STOP)

Miss McKay?

Yes?

I want to thank you for what

you're doing for my son Tyrone.

Now he won't grow up

to be a mug like me.

Oh, you're too modest,

Mr. Bugsy.

Oh, no, I ain't.

I'm so stupid, I ain't

even ignorant. Thanks again.

Don't thank me.

Thank Father McGrath.

He got the job for me.

Thanks, Father.

All eyes on me,

please.

Now, as you know, poor Mollie has

the measles, so I'll sing her part.

Now, are we ready?

(DOOR CLOSES)

Oh.

Well, now we're ready.

Watch me closely.

We mustn't goof today.

ALL:
(SINGING) They say

there's a tiny little scout

Who follows you about

He knows everything

you say and do

You couldn't lose him

if you wanted to

He knows, like for

instance when you try

To tell a big, fat lie

He starts burning up

at what you said

That's why

your face gets red

When you do good

like he says you should

You can bet he's

as merry as a clown

But when you've done something

and your heart starts thumping

That's him

jumpin' up and down

He's there anytime

that you're in doubt

To tell you what to do

Get smart

Listen to the tiny scout

He knows you inside

He knows you outside

He knows

what it's all about

Without a doubt

He knows you inside out

So you hate to go

to Sunday school

And that's not bad enough

You start messing

with the Golden Rule

You think being good

is sissy stuff

Get wise, try to mend

your dopey ways

Ya might be glad ya did

Then you'll never

hear the corny phrase

Poor little mixed-up kid

When you prove

you can't be trusted

You can say

you're maladjusted

You can blame your ma and pa

If you're a schmo

But you show

a streak of yeller

When you blame

the other feller

Look out

GIRLS:
You may sizzle

down below

ALL:
You don't have

to be a teacher's pet

Don't worry wings won't sprout

Just get smart

Listen to the tiny scout

He knows you inside

He knows you outside

You're on the wrong side

He's on the right side

He knows you backwards

He knows you forwards

You're on the mean side

He's on the clean side

Whew!

I'm running out of breath

Stop smoking

You're saying yes, yes

He's saying uh-uh

You think you've got to

He tells you not to

He's there beside you

all set to guide you

Rah, rah, rah

sis, boom, bah

Ricky, ticky, tin

and a ricky ticky tout

How about a cheer

for the tiny scout

'Cause he knows you

inside out

Good side, bad side,

clean side, mean side

Wrong side, right side,

outside, inside

He's your friend

without a doubt

He's your conscience

He knows you

Inside

Out

(ALL CHEERING)

Well! (LAUGHS)

Come in!

Nickie, I'm so happy

to see you.

My dear friend!

Come in. Come in.

Come in.

How's my

severest critic?

Oh, well, we'll see.

Oh, I see you've got

them all arranged.

Come on.

Let me hear the worst.

Six months' work. You haven't

wasted your time, Nickie.

Thank you. Oh, you

should have seen the 50

I dropped over

the cliff though.

Maybe you should have

dropped this one, too.

Yes, I'm inclined to agree

with you about that one.

You know, Nickie,

I can read

your state of mind

when you painted this.

Yeah?

You were very sorry for yourself

when you painted this one.

That one was painted in

August. Doesn't count.

Mmm.

You were angry here. You were

getting over your broken heart.

Broken heart? Oh, that

stuff's not for me.

I'm glad to hear that.

Come on. Let's get down

to this end. Come on.

I'm coming to that.

I'm coming to that.

Yeah, here, Nickie,

you became a painter.

Thank you. I'm not exactly

ashamed of that one myself.

I had a great deal to say

and I painted it instead.

Your being away,

alone, for a long time,

has given you

that grasp of...

(PHONE RINGING)

I'll get it.

Remember where you were.
