Barefoot in the Park

Going...

Where it says

keep off the grass

Isn't recommended

for the very old

But when you're young

and you're in love

The world is beautiful

And I'm not a bit afraid

of you catching cold

Running barefoot

through the park

Searching bareheaded

in the rain

For a midwinter daisy

Seems kind of crazy

to do

But come along,

my barefoot love

To the fields

that shine with spring

We just got married!

Though it's 10 below

Let me go knee-deep

in daisies with you

La la la...

They just got married.

La la la

la la la la

La la la la la la

la la la la la

La la la la

la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la

Whoa!

This is the Plaza Hotel,

please.

Plaza.

Corie, it's the Plaza.

Wait a minute.

I'm not finished.

Corie, the man

is waiting.

Give him a big tip.

Paul, tell me you're not sorry

we got married.

After 40 minutes?

Let's give it

a couple of hours first.

If the honeymoon

doesn't work out,

let's not get divorced.

Let's kill each other.

Let's have

a maid do it.

I hear the service

here's wonderful.

Uh...

Here's...

Thank you.

Come on.

Good afternoon.

Yes.

My hand.

I need my hand.

"Mr. Paul Bratter. "

Yes.

Is Mrs. Bratter

staying with you?

My mother?

Oh! Mrs. Bratter, yes.

Mr. And Mrs. Bratter.

How long will you

be staying with us, Mr. Bratter?

Six days.

And nights.

It's a pleasure

to have you at the Plaza.

Ha ha ha!

Come on.

Corie, let's stop.

This way, please.

Ex-excuse me.

Excuse us, please.

Mr. Adams, I hope you realize

I'm only 15 years old.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

They're so stuffy

around here.

Is this what life

is going to be like

for the next

50 years?

Is that all we're going

to be married, 50 years?

That's not very long.

Wait. Don't make

rash judgments.

I think I'm going

to be a lousy wife.

Don't be angry with me.

I love you very much,

and I'm very sexy.

Then let's go inside.

I'm paying $30 a day.

O.K., Paul,

let's start the marriage.

Good luck, Paul.

Good luck, Corie.

Forget it. They're

never coming out.

How long

has it been now?

Five days.

Whew! That must be

a hotel record.

For a political

convention.

A honeymoon record

is nine days.

Wait a minute, Paul!

Where are you going?

Work.

I have to go to work.

I don't do this

for a living, you know.

Can't you call in sick?

I am sick,

but I have to go.

Last night you promised

you'd never leave me.

It's just till 5:30.

If it's a good marriage,

it'll last until 5:30.

See ya.

Tonight, hey?

What was that?

A kiss?

Would you get inside?

It's a nice hotel.

Was that a kiss?

If that's what kisses

are going to be like,

don't bother coming back

at 5:
30.

I can't kiss you

anymore.

My lips are numb.

Now will you please go inside.

If you don't give me

a real kiss,

I'm going to give you back

your pajamas.

Right now.

N...

W...

Wait!

Couldn't you

make it 4:
30?

Ahem!

Oh!

Tonight.

At the new apartment.

It's 49 West 10th Street.

I love you!

Yeah. Uh.

Thank you, Mr. Dooley.

Next time

you're in New York,

just call me up.

Hello?

Bratter?

Up here, top floor!

Top floor.

Take your time!

Yeah.

Top floor.

It's always

the top floor.

Whatever happened

to elevators?

Let's see.

The bed is 6 feet long

and the room

is 51/2 feet

and I'm in big trouble.

Tele...

Hi. Teleph...

Telephone company.

The phone?

Yeah.

Oh, great!

Come on in.

That's... that's

quite a climb.

Yes. Five flights,

if you don't count the front stoop.

Yeah, I counted

the front stoop.

Uh, would you like

a glass of water?

Please.

I'd offer you soda

or a beer,

but we don't have

anything yet.

A glass

of water's fine.

Except we don't have

any glasses either.

Oh.

You could, uh...

put your head under

and just schlurp.

Oh, no, I don't have

enough breath to slurp.

Well...

Where would you

like the phone?

Gee, uh...

I don't know.

Any suggestions?

Well, it all depends

on what you're going

to do with the room.

You going to have

furniture in here?

Ha!

Sure.

Listen, you can give me

a long extension cord,

and I'll carry it around with me

the first few years.

Good. I'll use

the old connection.

Whew!

You're really going

to live up here, huh?

I mean every day.

Every day.

I hope that's the men

with the furniture.

I don't want to see this.

Hello, Bloomingdale's!

Lord & Taylor's.

Oh.

Up here, top floor!

Oh, my God.

It's probably another wedding gift

from my mother.

She sends wedding gifts

twice a day.

I hope it's

an electric heater.

Is it cold in here?

I can't grip the phone.

Maybe the steam is off.

Maybe that's it.

Just turn it on.

It'll come right up.

It is on.

It's just not

coming up.

Oh.

Your husband have

a lot of sweaters?

I prefer it this way.

It's a medical fact

that steam heat's bad for you.

Yeah? In February?

Just put them down

anywhere.

I know. I know.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry

about the stairs.

I think he wants you

to sign it.

Oh.

Oh, wait a minute.

There you are.

Are you going

to be all right?

That's a shame,

giving a job like that

to an old man.

He's probably

only 25.

They age fast

on this route.

O.K., lady,

you're in business.

My own phone.

Can I make

a call yet?

Your bill started

two minutes ago.

Who can I call?

Oh, by the way,

my name is Harry Pepper.

If you ever have

phone trouble,

do me a favor...

don't ask for Harry Pepper.

What's the matter,

bad news?

It's going to be cloudy tonight

with a light snow.

You'll be the first

in the city

to see it fall.

Hello, is Mr. Paul Bratter

there, please?

This is Mrs. Paul Bratter

calling.

This is terrific.

It works just great.

Just like

a real phone, huh?

Frank, is Paul there?

Hi, Corie.

He left

about 20 minutes ago.

Looked very tired.

Tell him to call me

when he gets in.

I've got great news.

No kidding, Frank.

What is it?

Frank, hang on.

That may be him now.

I didn't

want him to come

till after

the furniture arrived.

Paul?

Corie?

Where are you?

Paul?

Up here!

Paul, up here, top floor!

Oh, it's him!

How long did you say

you were married?

Six days.

He won't notice

the place is empty till June.

So long,

Grammercy 59971.

Have a nice marriage.

Thank you.

And may you soon

have many extensions.

He's on his way up.

Can you hang on

for five more flights?

Paul?

Hurry up, darling!

Now, don't

expect too much,

'cause the furniture

hasn't gotten here yet!

And the paint didn't

turn out exactly right,

but I think it's

going to be beautiful!

Paul?

Paul, are you all right?

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

What?

He's coming.

He's coming.

He's coming.

He's coming.

Hi, sweetheart!

Paul, darling!

Oh! Say something.

It's six flights.

Did you...

Did you know

it's six flights?

Well, it isn't.

It's only five.

What about

that big thing

hanging outside

the building?

That's not a flight.

It's a stoop.

It may look

like a stoop.

It climbs

like a flight.

Is that all

you have to say?

I didn't think
