That's all you think about:

Business, business, business!

Life is for to enjoy.

Well! I can see I didn't get here

a minute too soon, huh?

Her story is much too sad to be told

'Cause practically everything

leaves her totally

Cold

Cold

Cold

Cold

Cold

Cold

I get no kick from champagne

Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all

So, tell me, why should it be true

That I get a kick out of you?

Some like their perfume from Spain

I'm sure that if I took even one whiff

That would bore me terrifically, too

Yet I get a kick out of you

I get a kick every time

I see you standing there

Before me

I get a kick

Though it's clear to me

You obviously don't adore me

I get no kick in a plane

Flying too high with some guy in the sky

Is my idea of nothing to do.

Yet I get a kick

Out of you

Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold

Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool

Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold

I get no kick in a plane

Flying too high with some guy in the sky

Is my idea of nothing to do

But I get a

kick

Out of you

- Isn't she formidable?

- She's quite good. I'd say...

Yeah, and the way she moves.

You know, there aren't many voices

like that around anymore.

Oh, man. You've got it bad, haven't you?

It's nothing personal. I'm just

looking at her as a talent.

- A fellow artist.

- Yeah, that's the idea.

She's...

- She's quite a fellow, all right.

- I knew you'd be surprised.

I got a surprise for you, too. Wait till

you see what's coming over from London.

- You got an antique?

- No, she still has a few years to go.

- She?

- Yeah, I signed a leading lady.

You know, for a minute, I thought you said...

You signed our leading lady?

Yeah, she'll be here tomorrow.

Her name is Patsy Blair.

You couldn't have signed anybody.

Why not? We all agreed,

if I found a girl I like, sign her.

I know, but I...

Hello, it's nice of you to drop by.

I know you must be very busy.

Bill, did I ever tell you the first...

I'm sorry, this is...

Anyway, this is...

You must be "Pops."

Yeah.

Certainly mighty nice to make

your acquaintance, madam.

Like American?

Look, I can straighten out the whole thing.

But it shouldn't be straightened out.

- His accent is charming.

- Yeah, but I...

Oh, his accent! It's charming? Well.

- Why don't we sit down?

- As a matter of fact...

we were just going.

You see, it's an emergency...

An emergency. What are you talking about?

We're in Paris. Let's relax a little.

Life is for to enjoy.

Bravo.

I always tell Teddy, life is for to enjoy.

He's always so nervous.

Me? No, you see... Oh, I'm sorry. I'm very...

- It's all right.

- Excuse me.

I loved your performance.

Thank you.

Doing a big stage show,

that I am excited about.

You're so right. The theater gives one

an opportunity for self-expression.

I'm terribly sorry. I took this...

Very shaky glasses.

Speaking of shaky glasses, reminds me

of a summer in Cincinnati...

People must like to do a show with you.

I don't know, some people like escargots.

Speaking of escargots...

- you remind me, I had a bunch of snails...

- I hope you agree...

I hope you agree with Ted that

my English is good enough for Broadway.

It's catching, isn't it?

I seem to be running out of tobacco.

You can get tobacco here.

No, this is a special English blend.

I can't even get it in New York.

Speaking of New York, did Ted tell you

about the part you're playing in our show?

All about it.

The sizzling French girl

who searches for love.

And sings and dances.

French girl. That's very interesting.

- Yes.

- I think it is fascinating.

I will be wonderful in it.

I hope Ted didn't make

too difficult a business deal with you?

He was most generous.

And it is an ironclad contract.

Yes, that's a handy kind.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow morning

we will all be on the boat together.

Yes. One never knows

what tomorrow will bring.

Well, this calls for a celebration!

Shall we show Bill

what the real Paris looks like?

I will get my bag. Excuse me.

- He liked you!

- I hope so!

Tell me, how did you happen to sign

a French girl?

Last time I looked at our play,

the girl was an American.

Gaby showed me how to fix that.

She's very clever.

I could see that. And she likes you.

I suppose so.

I was watching the way you handled her,

so unctuous and suave.

You seem to just...

say the right thing

at the right time, you know?

Instinct, I guess.

Tell me something. Did you have much

trouble charming her into doing our show?

No, not a bit. No, she'd do anything for me.

Good. Then you won't have any trouble

charming her out of the show.

Yeah.

- What?

- You'll love Patsy.

She's great.

Since she's doing the lead in our show,

I don't suppose there's any sense...

in having an extra French girl

hanging around, is there?

- Now, but look...

- You'll handle it beautifully, I know.

You can tell me all about it

tomorrow morning at breakfast on the boat.

Now, wait a minute. l...

Nice to have you aboard, partner.

Yeah, but now... You...

Where is Bill going?

He's tired. He's going back to the hotel.

Too bad. Such a waste.

What?

Nothing.

What did he say about me doing the show?

What did he say? What did he say? Well...

what could he say?

He said without you,

this show is not going on.

I am so happy.

I wouldn't change places

with anyone in the world.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Blair.

Ladies and gentlemen, all visitors ashore.

- Bill.

- Ahoy there, or whatever it is you say.

"'Ahoy" plays pretty good. I was getting

a little worried about you two.

Relax. Nothing could have kept us

from catching this boat.

- Hey, Teddy. Ted.

- Bill!

Good. I see you're alone. Nice going, boy.

Say, allow me to present Ted Adams.

This is Patsy Blair...

- and her father, Steve Blair.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- How do you do?

I thought maybe I'd see you

on the boat train in Paris.

It was such a nice day, I decided to walk.

Man, I'm proud of you, you're right in there.

This is the Rock of Gibraltar, this fellow.

If you ever need a kid to depend on,

there's your boy.

That's nice to know. I'll remember.

And I'll remind you.

I thought we might do

a little rehearsing on board.

- You know, kind of routine some numbers?

- Good idea.

I got a couple of rooms reserved.

Matter of fact, we got one at 3:00.

Fine.

Luggage! I got to see about my luggage.

Well, here we go.

Excuse me.

There's a wonderful thing

about going away on a boat.

What's that?

You know you're leaving

all your troubles on shore.

Thanks. No, he's not there, either.

Seems to have disappeared.

You don't think anything could have

happened to him, do you?

- To Ted? No.

- Then I wonder why he isn't here.

Maybe the traffic was heavy.

- I call his cabin.

- Oh, no, no, I wouldn't do that.

- Come on, let's get started.

- All right, I'm ready.

Now, when the orchestra commences,

I think I'll have you standing center stage.

You'll be seated.

No, I think you'll be standing.
