At Long Last Love Page #7

Synopsis: This film was Peter Bogdanovich's homage to musical comedies of the 1930s. A millionaire named Michael Oliver Pritchard III and a singer named Kitty O'Kelly meet and fall in love. Meanwhile, an indigent woman named Brooke Carter and an Italian gambler named Johnny Spanish meet and fall in love. All four people meet each other and become friends (actually, Kitty and Brooke had been friends since high-school), and soon, Brooke's crude, fun-loving maid Elizabeth falls in love with Michael's valet Rodney James. Later on, Michael and Brooke fall in love, and Kitty and Johnny decide to follow them around. In order to make Brooke and Michael jealous, they try to look like they are falling in love as well. Eventually, Michael and Johnny get into a fight but then immediately make up. Soon, Brooke and Kitty make up. The two couples pair off successfully and they live happily ever after.

From Wagner opera

to opera bouffe

Go on. I love it.

I love it!

From alpha to omega

What?

Oh.

Yeah.

From alpha to omega

I thought you said "alfalfa."

You were made for me

"From alpha to alfalfa."

You are nice.

You know that?

From left hooks

by Dempsey

To Braddock's uppercuts

From Jericho to Kokomo

Not to mention

from soup to nuts

Is this part of the show?

From Journal

until Mirror

I'm not so good on that turf.

From coast to coast

Oh, I don't know about that.

From Juliet to Norma Shearer;

You're what I like

the most;

Yeah?

Yeah.

And from morning

until evening

Will you stun yourself

with wine?

Certainly.

Till from alpha to omega

You are mine

Here we are!

Yeah.

Here we are.

Will you be needing

anything else, sir?

No. Ta-ta!

Hmm.

No, you can go to bed, Rod.

Good night, Rod.

Good night.

Never gets that right,

and he never will.

I don't know why

he keeps trying to do it.

Once a week we have it, and I have

to pick it up and dust it off,

put it on the shelf.

Ridiculous actually.

Guess who!

The bride of Frankenstein.

Oh, how'd you know?

I have a sixth sense.

Gracious.

I got dressed just for you.

Undressed, you mean.

Oh, now,

don't be vulgar, Rodney.

Where do you think you're going?

With you.

I'm simply going

to park the car.

I love parking.

I don't know.

I feel a little guilty.

So I've noticed.

You could have

a great career

Hmm?

And you should.

Only one thing stops you, dear.

Too much money.

You're too good.

If you want a future, darling,

why don't you...

get a past?

'Cause that fatal moment's

coming

At last;

We're all alone

Want a drink?

No chaperone

Can get our number

The worid's in slumber;

Let's

Misbehave

There's something wild

About you, child

That's so contagious

Let's be outrageous

And misbehave

When Adam won Eve's hand,

he wouldn't stand

For teasin'

He didn't care about;

Those apples

out of season

Oh.

Mmm.

They say that spring

Means just one thing

To little lovebirds

We're not above birds

I feel a sudden urge

to sing

Huh?

The kind of ditty

that invokes the spring

So control

your desire to curse

While I crucify

the verse

This verse you've started

seems to me

Yeah?

The Tin-Pantithesis

of melody

So spare me, please, the pain.

Just skip the damn thing

and sing the refrain.

Mi-mi-mi-mi

No, no, no, no;

Do-re-

Take it away

The night is young

And the skies are clear

So if you want

to go walking, dear;

It's delightful

It's delicious

It's de-lovely

I understand

the reason why

You're sentimental

'Cause so am I;

Are we?

It's delightful

It's delicious

It's de-lovely

You can tell at a glance

What a swell night

this is for romance

You can hear

dear Mother Nature

Murmuring low;

"Let yourself go"

So please, be sweet,

my chickadee

And when I kiss you,

just say to me

It's delightful?

Mm-hmm.

It's delicious

It's delectable?

It's delirious

It's dilemma

It's de-limit

It's deluxe

It's de-lovely

Come on!

Where are we going?

Take a dip!

Take a dip?

In the pool.

How exciting.

Hey. Katerina.

[ Giggling 1

Ah! Katerina!

Oh.

Winded?

Oh.

What are you doing?

I dance.

I didn't know you could dance.

Yeah.

You see?

I don't think I can do that.

Try it.

Watch out.

Bene.

See?

Yeah. Of course bene.

The night is young.

You are young.

Grazie.

From cotton plowed under;

Ba-Ba-Ba-bam

From Benzedrine

to Ovaltine

Not to mention

from go to stop

That's my house.

Ah, that's your...

From corn muffins

to Triscuit

From fat;

To thin

From Zev

to the young Seabiscuit

I'll bet on you to win

And will you beat me

and maltreat me

And bend

my Spanish spine?

Certainly;

From alpha to omega

Last one in's a rotten chicken!

Whoo!

I'm a rotten chicken.

Whoa.

The knot is...

Ah, swell.

So we take a few hours off to eat

the wedding cake It was your idea.

It's delightful

Oh!

It's deli-

It's de-lovely

It feels so fine

to be a bride

How's the groom? Well,

he's slightly fried

It's delightful

It's delicious

It's-I can't swim.

Oh!

To the pop of champagne

Off we hop

in our plush little plane

Till the bright light

from the darkness

Cozily calls

Niagara Falls;

All's well, my love

Our day's complete

And what a beautiful

bridal suite

It's de-reamy

It's de-rowsy

It's de-reverie

It's de-rhapsody;

It's de-regal

It's de-royal

It's de-Ritz

It's

It's de-lovely

Madam, please.

This is my room!

Oh, tell it to the marines.

The marines?

I love your p.j.'s.

You'll have to excuse me.

I was just... doing the books.

Are you good

at figures, dear?

Kindly tell me if so

Yes, I'm good

at figures, dear;

But in the morning, no;

Do you do

double entry, dear?

Kindly tell me if so

I do double entry, dear;

But in the morning, no, no;

Yes, yes

No, no

Yes, yes;

No, no, no, no, no;

Yes. Mmm.

We're on the crest

We have no cares

We're just a couple

of honey bears

It's delightful

It's delicious

It's de-lovely

All's as right as can be

Till one night

at my window I see

An absurd bird with a bundle

hung on his nose;

Get baby clothes.

These eyes of mine

are filled with joy;

The nurse appears

and cries, "It's a boy!"

He's appalling

He's appealing

He's a polliwog

He's a paragon

He's a Popeye.

He's a panic. He's a pip.

It's getting late!

And while I wait,

my poor heart aches on

Why keep the brakes on'?

Let's misbehave?

I feel quite sure

un peu diamour

Would be attractive

While we're still active

Let's misbehave

You know my

heart 'vs true

When you say you

for me care

Somebody's sure to tell

But what the hell

Do we care?

They say that bears

have love affairs

And even camels.

Mm-hmm.

We're merely mammals

There you go, Frank.

There you go, Frank.

Yay!

Did you see that?

Of course I saw it.

Didn't take them very long, did it?

Nope. First pitch.

How do you know she pitched?

Huh?

He might have done the pitching.

Remember Casanova? He was Italian too.

Ollie, what are you

talking about?

What do you mean what am

I talking about?

I'm talking about our two friends

over there.

Giving the ball game

some pretty stiff competition.

Well, good for them.

What's wrong with that?

Johnny's a swell guy,

and she's a peach.

I just wish they weren't

so angry at us.

You mean you knew that was going on?

Nope. But I'm glad.

You are?

Mm-hmm.

Makes me not feel so bad

about stealing her boyfriend.

You're strong, you know that?

Mm-hmm.

All gone.

Hey, that's a good idea.

We'll let them see us.

What?

You're jealous? Oh, don't be absurd.

Me jealous?

You are!

I am not.

You thought she'd be

pining away for you.

I certainly didn't have

any such thought.

Now just be quiet

and watch the ball game.

Hey, Ollie. That reminds me.

What?

Did you hear about the horse that could

pitch and field as good as Babe Ruth?

A horse?

It's a joke.

Oh, that's funny.

It's not finished yet.

Oh.

This horse could pitch

and field, you see,

so the manager

asked his trainer...
