Ballet Shoes Page #7

I don't.

Not any more.

I'll sign.

Sign what?

Something that means

you can study with Manoff.

Garnie can go to California where the

climate's mild, get her health back.

Pauline...

I can't live in Hollywood

on my own.

And Nana must go to Prague

with Posy.

Otherwise, she's going to get

completely out of hand.

Where will I go?

Excuse me!

Who sold my house?

Are you Gum?

Of course I'm bloody Gum.

Who else would I be?

What I want to know is this:

Who are these women?

- Pauline.

- Petrova.

Posy.

I brought entrancements home.

I brought babies!

Babies grow up, Gum.

Yes, I can see that.

So, a film star and a ballet dancer.

That 's you and

your chaperones sorted.

I never thought I'd be going

to live abroad.

Abroad will get used to it.

So that just leaves you and

me to organize.

- What would you like to do?

- She wants to be like Amy Johnson.

Oh, Amy Johnson. I know her.

How?

Ran into her in Argentina. She taught

me how to fly. Quite good, actually.

Well, we'd better get you

some lessons, then, hadn't we?

Mixed feelings?

Not telling.

Theo?

Theo...

I need to ask you something.

Can I borrow your gramophone?

Theo's been giving me lessons.

I wanted to take you out...

to a hotel.

I wanted to dance with you,

to tell you things.

And I didn't know how.

I thought this...

this song...

might tell you things.

The very thought of you

And I forget to do

Those Ilttle ordinary things

That everyone ought to do

I'm living in a kind of a daydream

I'm happy as a king

And foolish though It may seem

To me that's everything

This was the first room

I ever walked into in this house.

It was full of stone feathers...

and the ghosts of things.

Not any more.

No.

It 's full of things we made.

I see your face in every flower

Youreyes in stars above

It's just the thought of you

The very thought of you

My love

Hello.

Miss Brown is otherwise engaged.

I haven't come to see Miss Brown.

I've...

I've come to see you.

You don't remember me,

do you?

Little Theodora, star of Miss

Rosebud's Bouncing Babes?

We used to meet at the stage door

every night, for weeks.

- During the war?

- I knew you at once...

even without your bandages.

Do you know who I am,

without mine?

We two Fossils vow, since,

as an actress and a dancer...

it is unlikely that we will ever get

our names in the History books...

to do everything we can to get

our sister's name, Petrova...

there instead.

Because she is ours,

and ours alone.

And when she finds

the roads in the sky...

no-one can ever say it 's

because of her grandfathers.

- We vow.

- We vow.

We vow.

Amen.

Look!

There she is!

Petrova!

Do a circle, Petrova!
