No, I'm with a printing outfit.

I'm afraid I don't know much

about business.

There's a lot of money in this business.

- Very nice meeting you, Miss Blair.

- Thank you, Mr. Todd.

- And I will be seeing you before we dock.

- I'll be around.

- Isn't there something you want to tell me?

- What?

- I heard about you winning the ship's pool.

- Oh, that! Yes. Today is my lucky day.

How about taking a walk around the deck

with your old man?

I'd love to, honey,

but I'm meeting Ted in a minute.

- Why don't you come with us?

- No, you run along.

- All right.

- Ted's...

What?

Ted's a nice boy.

He likes you, too.

- I'll see you at dinner. Bye.

- Bye.

Duck was delicious.

- You haven't eaten a bite there.

- I'm not hungry.

- You've got to eat.

- Why?

Because everybody eats.

I enjoy it that you worry about me.

You have a good appetite.

It will be fun to cook for you in New York.

I don't eat much in New York.

I can also sew for you,

and wash, and clean.

I'm very handy around the house.

You will see when we get to New York.

That's what I want to talk to you about.

There's something I have to tell you.

You have something to tell me?

Tell me!

- No, not here.

- We can talk in my cabin.

No, I think I have a better idea.

- In your cabin? Good.

- No.

- Ready?

- Ready.

- Here we are.

- Gymnasium?

Everything is ready, Mr. Benson.

- The room is yours.

- Thank you, Henry.

It's kind of dreary.

- It isn't at all.

- It isn't?

No.

- Thanks.

- It's for you.

You can't go around giving me gifts like this.

- You think I stole it?

- Well, no, of course not, but...

- Then keep it.

- But...

Thanks.

I brought you here to talk to you

about the show, Gaby.

- Say "Gaby" again.

- Gaby.

I know how much this all means to you

and everything, but...

You say it so cute.

- When Ted told me that he'd signed you...

- It tickles me when you say it.

When Ted told me that he'd signed you

for the show, Gaby, why, I thought...

You said you wouldn't do it without me.

- He told me.

- He shouldn't have! What Ted...

What Ted didn't tell you is that...

What are you thinking?

How much I love you.

Hey.

You shouldn't go around

saying things like that.

You think I go around

saying things like that?

That's not what I meant. I...

- You don't even know me.

- That's not my fault.

What I know, I love.

You are the most honest girl I ever met.

We are making progress.

You have just insulted me.

- You amaze me.

- You amaze me.

Why did you never marry?

I don't know, I guess...

I just never wanted to before.

You're right. It's a beautiful room.

It's a beautiful night.

Isn't it amazing

how the world changes at night?

In France we say,

"Night is the lovers' blanket."

All through the night

I delight

In your love

All through the night

You're so close to me

All through the night

From a height

Far above

You and your love

Bring me ecstasy

When dawn comes to waken me

You're never there at all

I know you've forsaken me

Till the shadows fall

But then

Once again

I can dream

I've the right

To be close to you

All through

the night

- That's beautiful.

- I meant it.

- Sing it in French for me.

- In French?

It's the language of love.

- I don't know if I can.

- I will help you.

Go ahead.

Gaby.

Did you really know all the time?

Of course. I am French.

I am so happy I am going

to America with you.

Now we can be together. Always.

- They are going to love you in America.

- I hope so, for your sake.

You'll be a sensation.

All you have to do is

stand in Times Square at high noon...

and you'll stop traffic.

I will?

I can see everything so clearly.

It will be very exciting.

What will, chrie?

When I get up on that stage.

Stage!

Boy, has Ted got a problem.

Pardon.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- How do you feel?

- Wonderful.

- You do?

- Shouldn't I?

Well, sure, only...

Didn't Bill upset you last night?

Terribly. I loved every minute of it.

- He must be a real master.

- He's wonderful.

Now, what happened last night

was Bill's idea, you know.

I should hope so.

Bill didn't really want to buy you off,

it's just...

Well, like he said...

Patsy was signed for the show first...

and it shouldn't have been

a French girl, anyhow.

Billy came last night to buy me off?

Didn't he tell you?

Pardon me.

Good morning. You look beautiful

this morning.

As beautiful as I looked last night?

I can't decide. I think I'll just have

to see you again tonight.

You must have enjoyed yourself last night.

I did.

Look, why don't we go

on an Easter egg hunt?

- We can all scatter, and...

- No more games, thank you.

- I have had enough.

- What do you mean?

The master made a big mistake.

Nothing could get me out of this show now.

I have an ironclad contract, remember?

It's the handy kind.

I'm sorry, Bill.

I thought you settled the whole thing

last night. I told her about Patsy.

- Then that's why she...

- Me and my fat mouth.

I was going to explain everything

this morning.

- Got yourself a case of moonburn, huh?

- Bad.

Well, you'll work it out.

I don't know.

She's a pretty strong-headed girl.

Yeah.

Well, I'd better go.

I've got a date to propose to Patsy.

- Good luck to you.

- Thanks.

I'm sorry about Gaby.

If you want to have me lashed

to the mast or anything, I'll...

We'll be landing tomorrow morning.

I'll have to pick you up early.

I'll be ready.

- Dad?

- Hi, honey.

- Hi. Did you and Mr. Todd have a nice walk?

- Yeah, fine.

- Good.

- We'll...

- We'll be pulling in, in the morning.

- I know. Isn't it exciting?

What's the first thing you're going to do

when we land?

No plans, huh?

Not exactly.

Tomorrow night, I am going to put on

my prettiest dress...

and you and Ted

can take me out on the town.

Unless you're ashamed of me?

- Is anything wrong?

- No!

What's up, Doc?

Come on.

As a matter of fact, I...

To tell you the truth...

Look...

I got some unfinished business.

I gotta go away for a while.

- Oh, no!

- Come on, now.

You told me everything was all right,

you had it all worked out!

But you've got to figure the odds.

It's the only right way to work it out.

- Oh, Dad!

- Oh, dear.

We can't go on living like criminals, honey.

I made a mistake.

I can't let you pay for it.

- But we were getting along just fine!

- Sure, except we couldn't go home.

Now, you are starring in a Broadway show.

Do you think I would have taken it

if I'd known you had to go to prison?

That wasn't forever. It's 10-to-1

that in a year I'd be running that joint.

I'm going to get the best lawyers there are.

As many as we need.

We can afford it now that I've got the show.

Don't worry about me. I want you

to start living your own life.

Don't you worry about me.

I'm going to be fine.

As long as you can use

a good housekeeper...

- I'll be waiting.

- But that's not what I want.

- I want you and Ted...

- No, no.

I'm not going to let this

be Ted's problem, too.

- I'm going to take a walk.
